Archaeologists believe the bones, exposed by storms in a cliff at Harlyn bay near Padstow, could be those of a young iron age or bronze age woman. Once they have been radiocarbon dated it is hoped they will go on show at the Royal Cornwall Museum. Archaeologist Andy Jones said there had been a lot of Bronze and Iron Age burials in the area. Mr Jones, from Cornwall Council's historic environment service, said: "Based on what has been found before from the vicinity we thought there was a very good chance they were either going to be Bronze Aged or Iron Aged." A member of the public reported the discovery to the police after noticing the cliff face had changed and the bones were in view following this year's winter storms. The passerby suspected the remains to be human. Police and council officers then visited the site and an exhumation followed.

Efforts are under way to identify ancient human remains found on a Cornish beach.

The visitors took the lead through Marco Asensio's header after Nacho's shot was saved by Javi Varas. Their advantage lasted five minutes before midfielder Tana equalised for the Canary Islanders with a low finish. Karim Benzema restored Real's lead three minutes after coming on, only for Araujo to earn the hosts a point. Real would have gone three points clear at the top of La Liga with victory but their lead is now just one point after failing to win for the second game. Barcelona had earlier won 5-0 at Sporting Gijon to temporarily replace Real at the top of the table. Relive the action from Las Palmas Araujo's equaliser five minutes from time summed up Real's night as Sergio Ramos and Kiko Casilla got in a tangle, allowing the substitute to run the ball into the net. Las Palmas' players celebrated wildly at the final whistle while the visitors, for whom Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted, were left to wonder how they had twice allowed the lead to slip. After winning 16 La Liga games in succession, Real have dropped four points in a week and must regroup before facing Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in Germany on Tuesday. With one eye on midweek, as well as a number of injuries, manager Zinedine Zidane rotated his squad. Nacho came in for the injured Marcelo at left-back, and Toni Kroos was pressed into service as the holding midfielder with Casemiro out. But with Alvaro Morata joining Gareth Bale and Ronaldo in attack, Real should have had enough quality to see off their opponents. However, Ronaldo was far from his best and looked unhappy as he was replaced by Lucas Vazquez five minutes after Benzema had made it 2-1. Another concern for Zidane was his side's defending - Real have managed just two clean sheets in their past seven La Liga and Champions League games. While Ramos and Casilla will not want to see replays of the home team's second equaliser, Raphael Varane's poor headed clearance led to Tana's well-taken goal. Las Palmas were spirited throughout and are fifth in the table, four points behind leaders Real. Match ends, Las Palmas 2, Real Madrid 2. Second Half ends, Las Palmas 2, Real Madrid 2.

"Our nuclear deterrent keeps us at the top table in this post-Brexit world," he said. But Mr Farron also advocated replacing the current system of continuous-at-sea deterrence with more irregular patrolling patterns. And he accused Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of being "weak and dangerous" on defence matters. Earlier this week, Mr Corbyn - a long-standing opponent of nuclear weapons - said "all aspects" of defence would be reviewed if he won power in the snap election on 8 June. "I have made clear there would be no first use of it and that any use of nuclear weapons would be a disaster for the world," he told Andrew Marr on BBC One. His party, however, issued a statement later the same day clarifying that Labour as a whole was in favour of renewing the existing Trident nuclear weapons system. MPs overwhelmingly voted earlier this year to build four new submarines to carry missiles armed with nuclear warheads. They are intended to replace the existing Vanguard fleet from the early 2030s at an estimated cost of £31bn. Mr Farron was expected to make his comments in a speech to supporters in Portsmouth, but the Lib Dems said the visit had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. The pre-released text of his speech said: "If you say that you would never press the button, as Jeremy Corbyn seems to have suggested, that makes a mockery of having a deterrent or indeed sound defences." He added that the Liberal Democrats are committed to Nato, the European Union and the United Nations. "We believe that our safety and security as a country is best achieved through co-operating with the UK's allies," he said. "That is why we are committed to maintaining a credible nuclear deterrent, because there is nothing to gain from walking away from the table and turning our back on those who rely on our protection." Switching from a continuous at-sea deterrent to irregular patrols "would maintain the ability to surge to more frequent armed patrols, or drop down to a low-readiness posture if the security situation allows", he argued. Mr Farron also said the party's long-term goal will "always be a nuclear-free world", and it would use the UK's position to lead international efforts towards multilateral disarmament. The Lib Dems have faced division on the issue in the past, with some activists calling for Trident to be axed, saying it is expensive and unnecessary. A commitment to replacing Trident was a Conservative manifesto pledge in the last general election in 2015. And shortly before becoming prime minister, Theresa May said it would be "sheer madness" to give up the UK's nuclear weapons because of the threat posed by other countries including Russia.

The Liberal Democrats would "maintain a credible nuclear deterrent" if they won power, leader Tim Farron says.

Media playback is not supported on this device Somerset are "still interested" in bringing back 36-year-old Gayle, despite his £4,900 fine for asking a reporter on a date during an interview. The West Indies batsman was disciplined for "inappropriate conduct". "If Somerset decided he was remorseful and wanted to sign him that would be no problem for me," said Shrubsole. Somerset said negotiations to bring Gayle back to the club this summer are "ongoing". He has been described as "box office" by the club's director of cricket Matthew Maynard, with Somerset selling out six of their seven T20 Blast games last year "essentially on the back of him signing". Gayle, who scored 328 runs in three appearances for Somerset in 2015, is playing for Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Big Bash League. Media playback is not supported on this device He was answering questions from Network Ten's Mel McLaughlin at pitch-side in Hobart on Monday when he made the remark, also telling her, "Don't blush, baby", which was widely condemned as sexist. Asked whether it would bother her playing for the same club as Gayle, 24-year-old Shrubsole told BBC Somerset: "No, not at all. "It's Somerset's decision entirely as to whether they want him to come back or not. He was exceptional when he was here in those three T20 games and the amount of runs he scored was unbelievable." Shrubsole, who will be part of the England women's squad for the tour of South Africa, said she felt his comments were "inappropriate". She added: "The matter has been dealt with and Melbourne themselves have come out and punished him and I think the matter will be closed." Described as a "tour de force" by the prize's organisers, the extension saw the gallery win the £100,000 Art Fund prize for museum of the year on 1 July. The shortlist encompasses housing projects, a school, a university building and a cancer care centre. This year's winner will be announced in central London on 15 October. Four of the six shortlisted buildings are located in London, with the final contender in Lanarkshire. The rebuilt Everyman Theatre in Liverpool won last year's prize, the highest accolade awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Alongside the Whitworth, this year's shortlist encompasses housing projects, a school, a university building and a cancer care centre. Jane Duncan, president elect of Riba, will chair the Stirling Prize jury. She said this year's entries were "careful" and "respectful of their communities" but missing the "flamboyance" of previous years, when the likes of the Shard were nominated. Riba president Stephen Hodder, who won the inaugural Stirling Prize in 1996, said the shortlisted buildings were all "surprising new additions to urban locations". "In the shortlist we have six model buildings that will immeasurably improve the lives and well-being of all those who encounter them," he continued. The buildings, he said, were "well-executed... both internally and externally" and "game-changers that other architects, clients and local authorities should aspire to." The six shortlisted buildings are as follows: Built for Wandsworth Borough Council at a cost of £40.9m, Burntwood School is one of the final projects to be developed under the Building Schools for the Future scheme that was established by the Labour government in 2004 and axed by the Coalition government six years later. According to the Stirling prize judging panel, the scheme "may have been based on a wasteful methodology but... did have at its heart a desire to improve the fabric and learning environments of all our schools". The judges said "the relationship between the new concrete buildings and the older buildings adds a sense of architectural history and depth to the whole site". "The architectural expression throughout is bold, characterful and adds to a sense of this being more like a university than a school." Built for the Peabody Trust, this 13-home apartment building is one that "oozes care" according to this year's judges. The £2.3m building, the judges said, is "a brilliant piece of urban design" with "pale honey" bricks that give the work "so much more character". The panel singled out the building's stairwell for praise, suggesting residents "must feel a million dollars, like stars on an ocean liner" as they encounter its "graceful curves" and "elegant swooping hand-rail". Built for the Maggie's cancer charity for £1.8m, the only shortlisted building not in England is described by this year's judges as "a truly memorable addition to a noble tradition of specialist health buildings". The structure conveys "a sense of dignity and calm" and has a "surrounding perforate wall of hand-made Danish brick" that offers "a degree of separation" from the nearby Monklands Hospital. The judges suggested the building's largest room might prove particularly suitable for "big groups of... stubborn working-class men who find it hard to talk about or even admit to their problem". Another centre built in west London by the charity, which offers support to people with cancer as well as their families and friends, won the Riba Stirling Prize in 2009. Built for £132m, the NEO Bankside development is "a group of exquisite towers" behind the Tate Modern gallery in London that is, according to this year's judges, "a well-mannered example of a structurally expressive architecture". Praising its "intricate weaving of public and private space", the judges said the un-gated luxury development offers "seductive.... high-quality housing you would be unlikely to see elsewhere in the world". "Overall the scheme has a scale and a richness that is appropriate... to this important part of London," the panel continued. Built for the University of Greenwich, the shortlisted building houses the institution's main library as well as its architecture, landscape and arts departments. The Stirling judges praised the £38.9m development's "frisky gravitas", its "remarkable" acoustics and windows that had been "carefully considered to take advantage of key views, vistas and reflections". The end result, they concluded, was "a very public university building... that will inspire future generations of architects" as well as "a startling building to put in [a] Unesco World Heritage Site". The Whitworth, part of the University of Manchester, underwent the largest physical transformation in its 125-year history in 2014 with a project that doubled the gallery's size and connected the building with its surrounding park. According to the judges, "the new architecture emerges quite seamlessly as an integral yet individualistic part of the whole assembly." Two weeks ago, the Whitworth was named Museum of the Year, with judges saying the redeveloped institution had "cemented its place at the centre of the cultural national stage". The six shortlisted designs all adhere to the modernist mantra that form must follow function. There's no room for baroque flamboyance or arts and crafts individualism. From the Burntwood School in south London to the Maggie's Cancer Care centre in Lanarkshire - clean lines, geometric forms, and plate glass are the order of the day. No fuss, no nonsense. The steel braces that form the external diagonal grids on a group of luxury housing blocks situated near Tate Modern are about as flamboyant as any of the designs get. Restrained elegance abounds. A new university building in Greenwich and a social housing development in east London - clad in stone and brick respectively - both feature sober facades punctuated by recessed windows. Perhaps the most striking design is the glass and brick extension to the Whitworth gallery in Manchester, which has transformed an institutional-looking building into a modern, bright visitor attraction. It'd get my vote. It has launched a petition against what it calls a "broadcast blackout", saying it increased its vote share and has the same number of MPs - one - as UKIP. The BBC based its decision on new rules for how broadcasts should be allocated. The BBC Trust guidelines highlight an "unexpected discrepancy" between the number of UKIP MPs and its vote share. Party political broadcasts take place three times a year in England, Scotland and Wales and once a year in Northern Ireland. The latest allocations were announced on Monday, with UKIP joining the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems in the list of parties being offered broadcasts in England. Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said she was "astonished" her party was being denied "vital broadcast coverage". "We've grown as a party by more than three times in the last 12 months," she said. "I'm starting to wonder what exactly it is that we need to do to convince the BBC to grant us fair representation." The party said it would request an urgent meeting with the BBC and urged support for a petition on the 38 Degrees website. The BBC Trust, which carried out a public consultation on the new criteria for inclusion, said the previous guidelines, set in 2012, "did not anticipate the anomaly arising from an unprecedented discrepancy between representation (seats) and share of the vote in the last general election". It said this was particularly the case with UKIP, which could have missed out despite having a larger vote share at the general election than the Lib Dems. In light of the promised in-out EU referendum, it added: "The BBC Executive considers that it could be an exacerbating factor if a party which was unambiguously in favour of leaving the EU was unfairly denied" party political broadcasts. In Wales, Plaid Cymru is also included, and in Scotland the list is made up of the SNP, Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems. In Northern Ireland broadcasts have been offered to the Democratic Unionist Party, Sinn Fein, the Ulster Unionist Party, the SDLP and the Alliance Party. He said Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire councils would have the amount they pay towards the total £745m cost of the bypass, and A90 upgrade between Balmedie and Tipperty, capped. It means the Scottish government will pay 81% and the councils 9.5% each. The 28-mile bypass is expected to be completed in 2018. The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) was given the green light by Scottish ministers in 2009 but it has been delayed by legal action. Work is expected to begin in 2014. Mr Brown made the funding announcement as he unveiled the shortlist of bidders for the contract. Four consortia will compete: Granite City, North East Roads Partnership, Scotia Roads Group and Connect Roads. Mr Brown said: "The benefits of the AWPR and Balmedie are clear, with the scheme expected to deliver 14,200 jobs in the north east and boosting the economy to the tune of £6bn over the next 30 years. "After years of delay, we should not underplay the need to ensure the pace in delivering this vital project continues." The A90 scheme will see the busy stretch between Balmedie and Tipperty in Aberdeenshire become a dual carriageway. It will provide continuous dual carriageway between Aberdeen and Ellon, aimed at improved safety and faster journey times. Al Ahly and Zamalek have both made offers that the Rugby Park side would accept for their leading scorer. Coulibaly was granted permission to join his agents in Egypt to consider moving from Scotland. Last week, Killie rejected a £500,000 bid from Zamalek for the 22-year-old former Tottenham trainee from the Ivory Coast. Arriving as a free agent after a season at Peterborough, Coulibaly signed a three-year deal with the Scottish Premiership club in the summer. He has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for Lee Clark's side. A team of US and Austrian researchers found that urbanisation could increase emissions by up to 25% in some developing nations. However, industrialised countries could see emissions fall by about 20% as a result of ageing populations. The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In their paper, they also showed that slowing population growth could deliver up to 30% of the cuts deemed necessary by 2050 to prevent dangerous climate change. "If global population growth slows down, it is not going to solve the climate problem," said lead author Brian O'Neill, a scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (Ncar). "But it can make a contribution, especially in the long-term." According to the UN Population Division, the average annual global growth rate peaked at just over 2.0% between 1965 and 1970. Since then, it has been steadily falling and currently stands at about 1.1%. By 2050, the UN projects that it will have fallen to an estimated 0.3%. In contrast, the number of people over the age of 60 is increasing, and the UN predicts that it will almost triple, from 737m in 2009 to in excess of two billion by 2050. 'Not surprising' Until now, most scenarios contained population projections but none had considered the "demographic influences" on emissions, the scientists wrote in their paper. Although the scientists highlight what they see as the importance of including demographics in emissions scenarios, Dr O'Neill said it was not surprising that it had not been a key concern. "When you set out to develop emissions scenarios, what you want to focus on are the factors that you anticipate will make the biggest difference," he told BBC News. "Therefore, most scenarios have focused on alternative economic growth rates and alternative futures in terms of technological development." Using UN-derived data, they developed a computer model that took into account population, environmental and technological factors, such as: "When a population ages faster (as a result of people living longer and reduced fertility rates), emissions turn out to be less than they otherwise would be," explained Dr O'Neill. "Although it is true that older households - for example - don't travel as much, we find that the dominant effect is that older [people] are less likely to be working. "This reduced contribution to the labour force means that the overall economy grows more slowly. As a result, the overall use of energy within the economy goes down, and emissions go down." As for the impact of urbanisation, Dr O'Neill added that urban households were, generally, less energy intensive that rural ones. "The fuel choice, or electricity availability, is pretty much the same in rural areas as it is in urban areas, but what is different is that people maybe live in smaller houses or an apartment in cities, and if they have a car then perhaps they do not drive it as much." Glow of the city However, he added, urbanisation was a major source of greenhouse gases when an indirect effect on productivity was considered. "Overall, we find that when countries urbanise, the labour supply is more productive, meaning that it contributes more to the growth of GDP. "People are working in sectors that contribute more to economic growth, which increases energy demand, which increases emissions." The UK-based Optimum Population Trust, a charity that is concerned about the impact of population growth on the environment, believes the Earth is already being stretched beyond its carrying capacity. It says that the optimum human population - one that can be sustained in the long-term - is closer to three billion people. Responding to the paper, chief executive Simon Ross said: "We welcome this analysis of the links between global population dynamics and... climate change. "We believe this paper supports our assertions that reproductive health is an environmental issue, as well as a humanitarian and developmental one," he told BBC News. However, he said a lower population growth alone would not be enough to prevent dangerous climate change. "We need a combination of even lower population growth, reduced per capita consumption and better use of technology," Mr Ross observed. "Assuming average global per capita consumption will continue to rise over time, [this] will require population to actually decline over time from current levels." Writing in the paper, the scientists - which included researchers from the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and Austria-based International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis - said the findings highlighted the importance of understanding population dynamics. "Greater attention should be given to the implications of urbanisation and ageing, particularly in key regions of the world, including China, India, the US and the EU," they concluded. "Better modelling of these trends would improve out understanding of the potential range of future energy demand and emissions." She said she wanted to consult with other parties to find ways of creating "a parliament with teeth". The Holyrood election on Thursday saw the Tories become the main opposition party in the Scottish Parliament. The SNP plans to rule without a formal coalition deal after falling two MSPs short of an absolute majority. Ms Davidson said a minority administration would provide an opportunity to hold the SNP "in check". Her suggestions include ensuring the conveners of certain committees come from opposition parties, and for opposition party spokesmen and women to be given greater opportunity to question ministers. She said: "I said during the election campaign that we would press for a parliament with teeth. Before the new parliament gets under way, we have an opportunity to act on that. "Too often during the last parliament, bad laws were swept in thanks to the SNP majority. Now they are a minority administration, it puts parliament back in control. "Some simple reforms now need to be considered - and I want all opposition parties to find common cause in putting those forward. "We can hold the SNP in check - and ensure better government and a stronger Scotland as a result." The Conservatives secured 31 MSPs in the vote, overtaking Labour which was left with 24. The number of SNP MSPs fell by six, to 63. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, whose party finished in fifth place behind the Greens, said opposition to the SNP needed to be "far wider than a narrow Tory agenda". "On issues like tax there is more that unites the Tories with the SNP than divides them," he said. "And on issues like justice they are more likely to chase cheap headlines than push for reforms which help cut offending and reduce the number of Scots who are imprisoned. "On education there is no indication that they will press for the urgent investment that is required to make our schools the best again." A number of senior Labour figures have rallied behind Kezia Dugdale, saying she should stay on as Scottish leader to rebuild support. Former Labour first minister Lord McConnell praised Ms Dugdale, despite the "terrible" result for his party. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "When Kezia took over last year as leader, she was a breath of fresh air. She remains a breath of fresh air. "I think her demeanour during this campaign, her relentless focus on the most important issues for people in Scotland and the ways she's conducted herself during the campaign - and since Thursday night, to be honest - is exactly what I want to see in a leader of the Scottish Labour Party." Former Labour special advisor Paul Sinclair said Ms Dugdale was the party's "last chance" to save itself from oblivion" - although he was critical of her strategy during the election. Writing in the Scottish Daily Mail, he said: "Labour needs a new story for Scotland. And it will only be able to craft one if it stops speaking to itself and truly listens to the concerns of Scots." Glasgow City Council's Labour leader Frank McAveety said Labour needed to provide a coherent message on the constitution and suggested embracing the idea of a "federal Britain". "That would be home rule for Scotland in a federal Britain," he wrote in the Daily Record. "The other parts of the Union would get equal powers for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. "The House of Commons would be the federal chamber to which the home rule parliaments would send delegates. "The precise details need working out - but if everything stays the same, we are tobogganing downhill to an independent Scotland and the break-up of the UK." Currently there are about 500 British troops in the country, providing security in Kabul and training at the Afghan Officer Academy. The BBC understands the request was made within the last few weeks. Nato's secretary general Jens Stoltenberg is due to meet Theresa May at Downing Street on Wednesday and is expected to discuss the subject. The request for more troops comes as the US considers increasing its military presence in the country. The US military and state department are recommending sending at least 3,000 more US troops to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, US media report. There are 13,000 Nato troops currently in the country, 8,400 of them US. US combat operations against the Taliban officially ended in 2014, but special forces have continued to provide support to Afghan troops. The UK was involved in the conflict in Afghanistan against the Taliban and al-Qaeda for 13 years, from 2001 to 2014. The last UK combat troops left Afghanistan in October 2014, but 450 remained in order to train, advise, and assist local Afghan forces. In July another 50 were sent to aid counter-terrorism efforts and provide leadership training. By Jonathan Beale, defence correspondent The timing of the request may not be great for Theresa May ahead of the election. But it won't come as a huge surprise. The US military have made no secret of their wish for more troops in Afghanistan. Barack Obama resisted the pressure. President Trump appears to be more willing to give his commanders a free reign. If the US increases its military presence then it expects allies to do the same. It is, after all, a Nato-led mission, at least in name. The MoD has received a formal request, but no numbers have been mentioned. One defence source expected that any increase would be small - between 10% and 20% of the 500 British troops already there. Also expect caveats as to what they will do - and where they'll be deployed. No one in the MoD wants a repeat of Helmand. Last month, the Taliban announced the start of their "spring offensive" a week after killing at least 135 Afghan soldiers in a military compound near the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif. The group said it would use military and political tactics and that its main target would be foreign forces. On Saturday Taliban militants seized a district just a few kilometres to the west of Kunduz in their continuing attempts to take the northern city. Thousands of families have been forced to leave their homes. Latest reports suggest the Taliban now also control the main road to the east of the city which links the province to the north-east and is also the main supply route for the capital, Kabul. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "The UK keeps its contribution in Afghanistan under regular review to ensure it remains suited for the needs of the mission." A Nato official told the BBC US authorities had written to the military alliance to ask about the future of its presence in Afghanistan. The official added: "Allied leaders will consider future contributions at our meeting in Brussels later this month, and the issue will be examined in further detail by defence ministers in June." A Nato source said they did not expect the secretary general to mention specific numbers in his meeting with Mrs May on Wednesday. Yusuf Ahmed, Syria's envoy in Cairo, said the plan "reflected the hysteria of these governments". The EU on Monday backed the Arab League's "bold" plan but Russia said violence must end before any peacekeepers could be sent. Meanwhile the UN General Assembly has started a debate on the Syrian crisis. UN human rights chief Navi Pillay, who has been sharply critical of the actions of President Bashar al-Assad's government, is later set to address the assembly in New York. The Arab League said it was ending all diplomatic co-operation with Syria, and promised to give "political and material support" to the opposition. The League's moves come a week after Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Syria, which would have endorsed a previous Arab League peace initiative. The EU backed the League's peacekeeping plan on Monday. Michael Mann, spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said: "We welcome these bold decisions and the strong and clear commitment and leadership that the Arab League is taking to resolve the crisis in Syria. By Jim MuirBBC News, Beirut The Arab League decisions to halt all economic and diplomatic co-operation with the Syrian government may intensify the pressure and isolation for Damascus. But the call on the UN Security Council to pass a resolution to set up a joint UN-Arab League peacekeeping operation is unlikely to bring swift results. Any such move needs a ceasefire which does not exist, and which Syria would not accept because it would put rebels and government on the same footing. It would also require a consensus at the Security Council which is not there. But the league's decisions give its members political cover for backing and financing the Syrian opposition. Syria already accuses some Arab states of paying and arming the rebels. The appearance on the scene of al-Qaeda further complicates the picture as opposition activists strive to appear as peaceful victims of state oppression. "The EU's first goal is an immediate cessation of killings and therefore we are very supportive of any initiative that can help achieve this objective, including a stronger Arab presence on the ground in co-operation with the UN to achieve a ceasefire and the end of violence." He added: "We renew our urgent calls on all members of the Security Council to be constructive and act with responsibility at this crucial moment." Russia said on Monday that it was studying the plan but that it needed "clarification". Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there had to be ceasefire in place before any peacekeepers could be sent. "But the problem is that the armed groups that are fighting the Syrian regime do not answer to anyone and are not controlled by anyone," he said. China, meanwhile, said Syria's problems needed to be resolved by diplomatic means. Foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said: "China hopes all relevant parties can keep dialogue and communication to play a positive and constructive role in politically resolving the Syrian issue and easing the country's tension." Speaking while on a visit to South Africa, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "I don't see the way forward in Syria as being Western boots on the ground, in any form, including in peacekeeping form, but of course if such a concept could be made viable we will be supporting it in all the usual ways." The BBC's Jeremy Bowen in Cairo says the new Arab League resolution contains its toughest language on Syria so far and makes it much more likely that the issue will return to the Security Council. Aiding Syria's rebels Maps and videos of Homs fighting In pictures: 'Artillery deployment' The fact that it is considering these moves shows the extent of the Syrian regime's isolation, our correspondent adds. He says it remains to be seen whether Moscow will continue to lend its support to its old allies and trading partners. The League's resolution also formally ends the observer mission it sent to Syria in December. It was suspended in January amid criticism that it was ineffective in the face of continuing violence. The head of that mission, the controversial Sudanese General Mohammed al-Dabi, had submitted his resignation on Sunday. Earlier, al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri backed the Syrian uprising in a video message, telling the opposition not to rely on the West or Arab countries for support. There have been reports that US officials suspect al-Qaeda involvement in two deadly blasts in the second city of Aleppo last week. Meanwhile, fresh violence in the Syrian city of Homs was reported on Monday. "Tank shelling has been non-stop on Baba Amr and the bombardment on al-Waer [district] began overnight," activist Mohammad al-Hassan told Reuters. Activists say more than 400 people have been killed since security forces launched an assault on opposition-held areas on the city this month. Human rights groups say more than 7,000 have died throughout Syria since last March. The government says at least 2,000 members of the security forces have been killed combating "armed gangs and terrorists". Syria restricts access to foreign media and it is not possible to verify casualty figures. Gorka Marquez needed dental surgery after two of his lower jaw front teeth were badly chipped when he was attacked by a gang of youths in November, a Strictly spokesman said at the time. Mr Marquez did not make a formal complaint to police about the incident. Lancashire Police said the force had checked CCTV from the area in Blackpool and found nothing. A spokesman said the force had "carried out a proportionate investigation which is now closed" and "no arrests" were made. The programme's makers said it was up to Marquez or his representatives to comment on the closure of the investigation. Speaking at the time of the alleged assault, a Strictly spokesman said the 26-year-old Spaniard was in the Lancashire resort for a live edition of the show when he was the victim of an "unprovoked incident". Mr Marquez was reportedly on his way to a nightclub with colleagues after filming the show's annual broadcast from Blackpool Tower Ballroom. He was said to have been getting out of a car when a "random group of lads" ran past and assaulted him. Mr Marquez tweeted his fans after the incident saying it was "a bad experience" but he was "feeling better". The dancer made his Strictly debut in this year's series and had been partnering EastEnders actress Tameka Empson, who plays Kim Fox in the BBC soap. They were eliminated in the second round but he has continued to appear in the programme as part of the weekly group routines. Mr Marquez also stepped in to dance with singer Anastacia in week five when her partner Brendan Cole was ill. He represented Spain at the World Latin Championships in 2010 and has toured internationally with stage show Burn the Floor, according to his biography on the BBC website. Mr Marquez will appear as part of the group routines on Saturday's grand final show when the winner of the glitter ball trophy will be chosen. Lindsay Rimer, 13, from Hebden Bridge, disappeared on 7 November 1994. Two canal workers found her body, weighted down with a stone, in the Rochdale canal five months later. Her killer has never been identified. Andy Glover, from Mytholmroyd, was checking for debris when he spotted something in the water. He said: "We thought that it was a sheep. "As we pulled it towards us, the body rolled in the water. There was no mistaking who it was, we saw the strands of hair on her face and knew we had found Lindsay Rimer." Ms Rimer left her home in Cambridge Street at about 22:00 GMT and met her mother at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. The last-known sighting of her was caught on CCTV 20 minutes later as she bought cornflakes on Crown Street. Her body was recovered a mile upstream from the town centre in April 1995. "I got home late that day, and my wife was asking where I had been and why I hadn't phoned," Mr Glover said. "I just said, 'We have found her.' "I didn't need to say who, she knew instantly I was talking about Lindsay." "It has stayed with me, it always will," he added. In April, West Yorkshire Police said a new DNA profile had been identified which it hoped would lead them to identify the killer. Det Supt Simon Atkinson, from West Yorkshire Police, said: "We are still waiting for that one 'golden nugget' that leads us to Lindsay's killer and hope that the person who knows what happened will come forward to help us solve the case, and bring closure to the Rimer family." The visitors took the lead after only three minutes as Nicky Ajose chipped the ball into the area and Lauri Dalla Valle fired past keeper Ben Alnwick. Peterborough equalised in the 66th minute, ending a goal drought of over eight hours, as Conor Washington turned in Marcus Maddison's parried shot. The Railwaymen are one point above the relegation zone with three games left. However, Leyton Orient and Notts County, who are a point behind Crewe, both have a game in hand. Monday 18 June 1984 was the most violent day of the year-long miners' strike. Thousands of pickets met huge lines of police - who were brought in from all around the country - outside the Orgreave coke works near Rotherham. The miners wanted to stop lorry loads of coke leaving for the steelworks. They thought that would help them win their strike, and help protect their pits and their jobs. The police were determined to hold them back. There was violence from both sides. The debate goes on about who acted first, but police horses were sent to charge the crowd up the field and officers followed to make arrests. Many miners and police officers were injured. The pictures of miners and police officers fighting shocked TV viewers. The number of officers was unprecedented. The use of dogs, horses and riot gear in an industrial dispute was almost unheard of. Some of the tactics were learned from the police in Northern Ireland and Hong Kong who had experience dealing with violent disorder. During the subsequent court case a police manual was uncovered which set out the latest plans to deal with pickets and protests. Police vans and Range Rovers were fitted with armour so they could withstand the stones being thrown by some in the crowd. The miners suspected the whole operation was being run under government control. Many believe Orgreave was the first example of what became known as "kettling" - the deliberate containment of protesters by large numbers of police officers. It marked a turning point in policing and in the strike. It was the moment the police strategy switched from defensive - protecting collieries, coking plants and working miners - to offensive, actively breaking up crowds and making large numbers of arrests. In many mining communities faith in the police was destroyed, a legacy that lasts to this day. There were questions in court about the reliability of the police evidence. Many of the statements made by officers were virtually identical. At least one had a forged signature. Eventually the case was thrown out and the arrested miners were cleared. The miners felt they had been set up. They believed the intention that day was to beat them and make arrests, a show of force that would convince them they were not going to win. That left a bitter legacy of hatred and distrust of the police in many mining communities. The police said they were just doing their job in the face of violence from striking miners. The strike lasted until March 1985. Hundreds of mines closed afterwards and many miners faced redundancy. Even the Orgreave coke works itself has now gone. Houses and a business park are now gradually taking over the site. The IPCC's decision will disappoint the campaigners who say they want "justice". But they say this is not the end. They will carry on campaigning for a full public inquiry into the way the police behaved throughout the year-long dispute. The Sunweb rider, 22, won the sprint ahead of Frenchmen Arnaud Demare and Bryan Coquard on the 175.5km stage from La Tour-de-Salvagny to Macon. Belgium's Thomas de Gendt retained the overall lead, 27 seconds ahead of Australian Richie Porte. Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky, the defending champion, is sixth, still one minute four seconds behind. Thursday's stage was the last opportunity for the sprinters before the race heads to the mountains for the final three days. "It feels really good. I'm super happy that everything worked out today," said Bauhaus. "At the Giro d'Italia, I came close to the podium twice. Now with the support of the team, I take the biggest win of my career so far." Stage six takes the riders 147.5km from Villars-les-Dombes to La Motte-Servolex. The Dauphine ends on Sunday and will be the final competitive outing before next month's Tour de France for many of the riders. Froome is aiming to win the Tour for a fourth time this summer, with each of his previous victories in 2013, 2015 and 2016 preceded by winning the Dauphine. 1.

Meanwhile, the researchers report that they have also obtained the most complete DNA sequence ever from a Neanderthal. Details of the work appear in Nature journal. Finds at Denisova cave in Siberia have deepened our understanding of the human groups living in Eurasia before modern humans (Homo sapiens) arrived on the scene. The Neanderthals were already well known, but DNA analysis of a finger bone and a tooth excavated at the cave revealed evidence of a human type living 40,000 years ago that was distinct both from Neanderthals and modern humans. When this work was published in 2010, the team behind the discovery dubbed this human species the "Denisovans" after the Siberian site. The Neanderthal toe bone was found in the same cave in 2010, though in a deeper layer of sediment that is thought to be about 10,000-20,000 years older. The cave also contains modern human artefacts, meaning that at least three groups of people occupied the cave at different times. A high quality genome sequence was obtained from the small bone using techniques developed by Prof Svante Paabo and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and it reveals some interesting insights about both the Neanderthals and other human types. For example, the researchers say, the Neanderthal woman was highly inbred and could have been the offspring of half-siblings who shared the same mother. Other scenarios are possible though, including that her parents were an uncle and niece or aunt and nephew, a grandparent and grandchild, or double first-cousins (the offspring of two siblings who married siblings). Comparisons of the genetic sequence of multiple human groups - Neanderthals, Denisovans and modern humans - yielded further insights into their evolutionary relationships. The results show that Neanderthals and Denisovans were very closely related, and that their common ancestor split off from the ancestors of modern humans about 400,000 years ago. The genome data reveal that Neanderthals and Denisovans diverged about 300,000 years ago. But it also threw up a surprise result: that the Denisovans interbred with a mysterious fourth group of early humans that were living in Eurasia at the time. Between 2.7 and 5.8% of the Denisovan genome comes from this enigmatic species. This group split from the others more than a million years ago, and may represent the early human species known as Homo erectus, which fossils show was living in Europe and Asia a million or more years ago. But Spanish researchers also recognise a species known as Homo antecessor, whose fossils show up about a million years ago at the Atapuerca site, near Burgos in Spain, and this may be another candidate. Though Denisovans and Neanderthals eventually died out, they left behind bits of their genetic heritage because they occasionally interbred with modern humans. The research team estimates that between 1.5 and 2.1 percent of the genomes of modern non-Africans can be traced to Neanderthals. Denisovans also left genetic traces in modern humans, though only in some Oceanic and Asian populations. About 6% of the genomes of Aboriginal Australians, New Guineans and some Pacific Islanders can be traced to Denisovans, studies suggest. The new analysis finds that the genomes of Han Chinese and other mainland Asian populations, as well as of Native Americans, contain about 0.2% Denisovan genes. "The paper really shows that the history of humans and hominins during this period was very complicated," said Montgomery Slatkin, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley. "There was lots of interbreeding that we know about and probably other interbreeding we haven't yet discovered." As part of the study, Prof Slatkin's colleague Fernando Racimo was able to identify at least 87 specific genes in modern humans that are significantly different from related genes in Neanderthals and Denisovans. This, the researchers say, may hold clues to behavioural differences distinguishing us from early human populations that died out. "There is no gene we can point to and say, 'this accounts for language or some other unique feature of modern humans'," Prof Slatkin explained. "But from this list of genes, we will learn something about the changes that occurred on the human lineage, though those changes will probably be very subtle." According to Prof Paabo, the list of genes "is a catalogue of genetic features that sets all modern humans apart from all other organisms, living or extinct". He added: "I believe that in it hide some of the things that made the enormous expansion of human populations and human culture and technology in the last 100,000 years possible." The Ulster Bank's monthly Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) tracks indicators such as new orders and employment. Local firms continued to report rising levels of activity in May, but "a significant slowdown has been in evidence". It also points to a "marked deterioration in business conditions" for the construction sector. The bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said a slowdown in the construction market in Great Britain "appears to have hit local firms hard". Northern Ireland's largest construction firms do the bulk of their work in England and Scotland. Mr Ramsey said the sector had seen its steepest decline in new orders since November 2012. He added that the general slowdown across all sectors is likely to continue into the third quarter of the year. "Much will depend on macro issues, including the performance of the UK economy and the forthcoming referendum on the UK's membership of the EU." Scotland international Martin, 28, has been on loan at Fulham this season, but in December indicated a desire to return to the Rams. "I spoke to Chris. The general feeling is he wants to come back," Rowett told BBC Radio Derby. "He's contracted to the club, he's coming back. He's a player I think the team has missed." Martin was allowed to leave Derby last summer by then manager Nigel Pearson and has gone on to score 11 goals in 31 appearances for Fulham. However, after Steve McClaren returned as Rams boss, Martin tried to cut short his loan deal, only for Fulham to refuse - and in a further twist to the saga, he signed a new contract at Pride Park in January. Speaking on BBC Radio Derby's Sportscene programme, Rowett said: "At this moment in time, Chris Martin is our player and I fully expect him to be here next season." Rowett, who has taken charge of seven games since succeeding McClaren last month, reassured supporters he had been given free rein by chairman Mel Morris to reshape the team - but warned there would be no lavish spending. "I've got carte blanche to change whatever I need to change," Rowett said. "I think we can get one or two in potentially, before we get some out. "But when you've spent a lot of money on a lot of players and it hasn't quite borne the fruit of promotion then you're going to have to be a little bit more sensible. "We're going to have to reduce what we're doing a tiny bit but I don't think that's going to affect the type of player that we can bring in." In a wide-ranging phone-in with supporters, Rowett also spoke of the frustration at being without long-term injury victims Craig Forsyth and George Thorne. Defender Forsyth ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in August after missing the majority of last season with the same injury, while midfielder Thorne suffered a double leg break last May. "They are hopefully on the mend and coming back," Rowett, 43, said. "Craig Forsyth has been involved in training and done really well but George is a little bit further behind. "They're both really committed to getting back and if we can have both of them fit for the start of next season then straight away the team looks to have a stronger, more powerful and more technical edge to it." The Dumfries and Galloway authority said this week it was no closer to agreement over the items' future. A spokeswoman for NMS said it believed it had put forward a "mutually beneficial and positive proposal". The Scottish Archaeological Finds Allocation Panel (SAFAP) is to meet to discuss the hoard's future on 23 March. The treasure was discovered by a metal detectorist in Galloway in 2014. Dumfries and Galloway Council wants to house it in a new art gallery being built in Kirkcudbright. NMS is also bidding for the artefacts and a spokeswoman said it had been in talks with the local authority since last summer. "We have proposed a collaborative approach which guarantees the long-term display of a significant and representative portion, and, for specific periods of time, all of the Galloway hoard in Kirkcudbright Art Gallery," she said. "It is disappointing that the council has not accepted what we believe is a mutually-beneficial and positive proposal." She said the hoard was of "considerable national and international significance" and they had applied to acquire it "on behalf of the nation". "As part of our proposals, NMS would take on the significant obligations of ensuring it is conserved, fully researched and appropriately cared for in the long term," she said. "The hoard would also be shared widely with the public through display in Dumfries and Galloway, across Scotland and the rest of the UK and internationally." South Scotland MSP Colin Smyth has urged the Scottish government to intervene to allow the hoard to be housed in Kirkcudbright. "The council are right to be sceptical over any offer from NMS," he said. "When they closed the Museum of Costume at Shambellie House we were promised all sorts from them in terms of local exhibitions and that hasn't really materialised." He said it was up to the government to show that NMS was interested in "more than the central belt". "Having a display of such international importance permanently on display in the region will allow us to market the exhibition properly, which you won't be able to do if it is left up to NMS to decide if and when any part of the hoard is displayed locally," he said. "Displaying the hoard in Kirkcudbright would also be a huge boost to the local economy by attracting more visitors which you simply wouldn't get if the hoard is on display in Edinburgh, lost among the many other displays". Gibson won best director for World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge, a sign he has been accepted by the industry a decade after an infamous anti-Semitic rant. Portman won best actress for Jackie, in which she portrays Jacqueline Kennedy after John F Kennedy's assassination. The event styles itself as the start of the awards season, but is regarded with scepticism by some industry observers. Winners were announced in advance with no nominations. Many of the winning films have not yet been released and an anonymous panel chooses the recipients. But that did not stop an A-list crowd turning up to the ceremony, which was compered by TV host James Corden - although he did joke at one point that they were "fake awards". The night was also peppered with references to Tuesday's US presidential election. "Tonight is actually rigged," Corden told the audience at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, referring to Donald Trump's complaints about the election. "Literally, none of this is real." He also joked that it was "the last awards show before the apocalypse". Robert De Niro, who won the comedy award for the film The Comedian, compared Mr Trump to the "totally insane" General Jack D Ripper from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove. He said: "It's two days until a frightening election. The shadow of politics is hanging over us whether we like it or not. "It's hard for me to think about anything else so let me lay it out right here. We have the opportunity to prevent a comedy from turning into a tragedy. Vote for Hillary Tuesday." Tom Hanks won the best actor award for the film Sully, in which he played Captain Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed a passenger plane on New York's Hudson River in 2009. Nicole Kidman won the supporting actress award for Lion, while Hugh Grant was named best supporting actor for his role in Florence Foster Jenkins. He was presented with the award by Andie MacDowell, his co-star in the 1994 film Four Weddings And A Funeral. Addressing her on stage, Grant said: "I'm just depressed at how much better preserved you are than I am after 22 years. Do you use any special creams or anything like that? "It's amazing. You're still a southern peach and I am, according to Twitter, a scrotum. "I almost never get a prize and I'm so pleased with this one. It will not be in my loo or used as a doorstep." British actress Naomie Harris received the breakout actress award for her work in Moonlight, while Lily Collins, the daughter of singer Phil, was given the New Hollywood award for Rules Don't Apply. Awards season kicks off in earnest when the Golden Globe nominations are announced on 12 December, and will culminate with the Oscars on 27 February.

The successful applicant will be in charge of preserving the site of one of the world's most iconic monuments. That person may as well be me. The job advert asks for at least five years' experience managing archaeological sites. Well, I have five years experience visiting sites. If outsiders with little experience can be elected to lead countries, why can't they also be chosen to run ancient monuments? The first thing to do is come up with a pitch. One potential idea is to rebuild the entire Colosseum. The pyramids in Egypt have not fallen down. So why should Rome have to live with half a Colosseum? 6,408,852 Visitors to Roman Colosseum, Palatine and Forum complex in 2016 3,000 visitors allowed in at a time for security reasons €12 Price of entry 55,000 Spectators attended events in amphitheatre when completed in 80AD My first campaign stop is with tourists visiting the site. "Don't touch anything," warn Jocelyn and Tamaya, students from North Carolina. "Don't you want to see what it would have looked like?" I ask. "There are digital models online which show what it would have been like. So just keep this," they instruct. "Do you not think it's iconic to leave it as it is?" asks Stan from Manchester. "It's like when we went to Egypt, they were redoing the Sphinx. In some ways it spoils the effect of what it should be." So rebuilding turns out to be a bad idea. I change my job pitch from rebuilding to listening. What needs fixing at the Colosseum? "The process of entering through security can be slow and occasionally discourteous," says tour guide Agnes Crawford. "The turnstiles very often don't work properly. The people who are manning the turnstiles have the patience of Job because it's a thankless task with a lot of slightly cross people." Opera singer Andrea Bocelli cheered everyone up when he sang at the Colosseum. The turnstiles were probably working that day. Another idea has caused something of a controversy: renting the site to private firms. "When one considers that the Colosseum saw 450 years of people being killed, I think the occasional corporate dinner seems fairly small beer in comparison," says Agnes Crawford. Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini will have the final say over the Colosseum's new director. Nerve-wrackingly, my final appointment is with him. "We're looking for people with a strong background - archaeologists, art historians, architects, who also have experience managing a cultural site or a museum," he tells me. "Naturally, if you want to manage the Colosseum and the Imperial Forum, which receive six million visitors a year, you need the scientific knowledge but also the management experience. "I think in the art world nationalities don't really count. The director of the National Gallery is an Italian, who arrived there from El Prado in Madrid. The director of the British Museum is German. So it's normal that what counts are the CVs, not the nationalities." I seize my chance. "Minister, you've opened this up to outsiders, a lot of people will put in applications coming in with new ideas, I will put an application as well. Are you open to hearing from outsiders?" There is a slight pause before he answers. "Well, we have job requirements to be admitted for the selection. When we recently chose the directors of the 20 top museums in Italy we received 400 applications. The selection did more than 100 job interviews. It will be similar this time. So you can definitely apply, but to win you need to fulfil the requirements." It was an elegant way of saying "don't give up the day job". The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission dropped the robot onto Comet 67P in November 2014. Scientists tried to land the robot several times but there were problems landing. When it finally settled, its exact location wasn't clear but images and data suggested it was sitting at an awkward angle, in the shade. This meant that the robot, which is powered by solar energy, was unable to charge properly. The lander did send back some information but the last contact was in July 2015. The comet is now travelling into a much colder part of space, with temperatures below -180C. Philae was never designed to operate at these temperatures so the chances of getting any more data are slim. Scientists are now focussing on landing the Rosetta space craft on Comet 67P in September. Nathan King, 38, of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire and John King, 34, from Barnacle near Coventry, had earlier admitted conspiracy to defraud. They said they could make homes warmer but the bubble pack-style insulation installed was not fit for purpose. Residents were overcharged with many paying for other unnecessary work. Nathan King was the sole director of Guardian Park Homes Ltd and was imprisoned for 30 months and disqualified from acting as a company director for five years. John King played a leading role in the business and was also jailed for 30 months. Leon Williams, 29, from Coventry worked as their foreman and received a 10 month prison sentence suspended for two years. He was also ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid community work. The men were sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to defraud on the first day of their trial at Teesside Crown Court. In mitigation the court heard some "legitimate trading" had taken place and all the defendants had expressed remorse. But His Honour Judge Ashurst described the Kings as "brazen, greedy and unscrupulous men" who had behaved in an "outrageous way". "The public would not understand if a fraud of this type was not met with an immediate custodial sentence," he said. Cold calls Police had been called to a park home at Skipton in North Yorkshire in March 2015 by the site manager. He was concerned an 82-year-old resident who lived alone and was having work done on her property was being misled by workmen who were going to charge her £7,000. The workers - including Leon Williams - were arrested. Trading standards officers from North Yorkshire County Council launched an investigation and seized Leon Williams' phone. It contained numerous postcodes referencing mobile home parks where trading standards officers found further victims who had been defrauded by Guardian Park Homes Ltd. "Nathan King and John King had been doing the cold calls to park home properties," said Ruth Andrews, the head of investigations and safeguarding at North Yorkshire Trading Standards. "When they identified a victim that was going to have the work done they would text the postcode to Leon and the team." The gang had worked on park homes in numerous other areas including Bath, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and Gloucestershire - which was where the company was based. 'Danger of collapse' Park homes look like bungalows but are raised off the ground on metal supports. Barrie - a pensioner who lives on Teesside - was told by Guardian Park Homes that his property could collapse because its metal supports were rusting. But a surveyor appointed by trading standards officers later found the anti-rust paint they applied at extra cost was unnecessary and the insulation he had also paid for was useless. "My first feeling was of anger that they could have done this to me," said Barrie. "I couldn't get underneath that floor myself to see what needed to be done or to check it when it had been done, so I trusted them completely. "It made me feel frightened to make any more judgements of people, frightened to trust people again to do any more work." Twenty-seven victims were included in the court case with losses totalling more than £100,000. They will be getting their money back after trading standards officers discovered a similar amount of money in frozen bank accounts belonging to the Kings. The Kings found no shortage of people willing to pay to make their properties warmer because there is limited insulation, even in newer park homes. Extra insulation can be added beneath them or to their external walls or roofs. But Ann Barradine, director of the not-for-profit organisation, Community Warmth, which vets and monitors contractors doing such work, warns that if air vents are blocked, a home's wooden frame can rot and collapse. "There are some excellent companies out there that will do it properly, she said. "It is absolutely abysmal that somebody could go into an elderly person's home and rip them off." You can hear more on this story on You & Yours on BBC Radio 4 from 12:15pm on Monday 1st May 2017. Four birdies and an eagle saw the defending champion move to five under but bogeys on the final two holes left him two under at the halfway stage. Loupe leads on eight under, one clear of fellow American Roberto Castro after a 71 at Quail Hollow Golf Club. Justin Rose (70) is four under; fellow Englishman Paul Casey (71) is one back. Northern Ireland's McIlroy, who triumphed in Charlotte 12 months ago after scoring 14 under for the final two rounds, is confident he can regain his title on the course where he claimed his maiden PGA Tour title in 2010. "If I get off to a fast start, then I'll be right there back in the tournament," he said. England's Ian Poulter slipped out of contention with a 74 which left him tied for 45th on level par, while his compatriot Luke Donald moved up to one over after a 69. American Zac Blair was disqualified for using a non-conforming club after he bent his putter when he hit himself on the head with it following a missed putt. Ahmed Fahour had been widely credited for turning around the government-owned organisation, returning it to profit. But earlier this month it emerged he earned A$5.6m ($4.3m; £3.4m) last year, 10 times the salary of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The PM described the remuneration as "too high" with politicians saying it was excessive for a civil servant. At the time, Australia Post defended the payout, saying it included a bonus due to Mr Fahour for steering the business into profit in 2016. Announcing his departure, the firm made no reference to the controversy. It said Mr Fahour had developed an entirely new strategy for the business, "focused on investing in the parcels and eCommerce business". "It was the right strategy which has placed the postal service on the path to a sustainable future and avoiding a taxpayer bailout," chairman John Stanhope said. A successor has not been named, but the board said it would begin the search for a new chief immediately. At a press conference after his departure was announced, the outgoing boss said the organisation had been overhauled during his seven years in charge. "Everybody was writing media releases and articles about the death of mail and email was going to kill us and that it was through," Mr Fahour said. "But we, the management team and the board, would have no part of that." Australia Post said that under Mr Fahour's leadership, it had invested in a network which improved services and delivered more than A$4bn in dividends and taxes to the government in the past seven years. Without the transformation, the postal service was potentially looking at a A$6.7bn bailout over a 10-year period, it added. Australia Post earned A$197m ($151m; £121m) in first half pre-tax profit for the six months to December 2016. At the same time the previous year, its profit was at $1m. It was in a stranger's car, in a lay-by. Around a year later, as a university student, she decided to "take it seriously" and signed up for an escort website. Now 22 years old, Jenny still chooses to earn a living by having sex with strangers, but she says she is "always on her guard" whenever she is with a client. Jenny agreed to tell her story of life as a student sex worker if we didn't use her real name. The biggest ever study looking into the issue has been published. One in 20 students who took part said they had worked in the sex industry. That includes things like glamour modelling and web-cam modelling, stripping and prostitution. "I don't think I had any positive influences that drove me to do it," Jenny told us. "I just thought, I've got nothing to lose. If I find it degrading I won't do it, but I didn't and yeah I got a taste of the good life. "My rent was so expensive and I didn't want to ask my parents for money." 1 in 4 Students working in the sex industry don't feel safe 54% Of student sex workers say they do it to pay basic living costs 22% Of students have considered sex work, according to the research Although Jenny calls it the "good life", she said she was aware of the risks of having sex with strangers. "I'm not scared of men [but] I don't trust them. I'm always on guard." Jenny admits to being "terrified" that first time, and feeling "unsafe" at times since then, but she adds "I've never feared for my life." "They've (clients) got feedback on the site I use from other escorts. Some of them don't and in that case I will not see them. "Sometimes they just feel a bit dodgy and I'll keep my bag close to me and get out as soon as I can. "The majority of the time it's completely safe, it's fine." she says. "A lot of men are physically bigger and stronger than me. I'm not going to assume they're going to hold me down and force me to do things I don't want. "I never feel like they're going to rape me or anything." Prostitution laws in the UK are complicated. It is legal for two adults to agree to swap money for sex, but things like running a brothel, advertising sex services or encouraging another person to sell sex are illegal. Jenny says she has lost count of the number of men she's slept with. It could be anywhere "between 300 and 1,000". She says she knows of the health risks that come with sleeping with so many people. "I get tested every three months, I never have unprotected sex with them [the clients], I get offers but it's not worth it." Listen to Jenny's story on SoundCloud Jenny thinks that, like it was for her, money is the motivating factor for most students who work in the sex industry. "Sex is becoming more accepted by society.

Help on sexual health and relationships is available at on at BBC Advice Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Consultants estimate the project could cost between £60 and £70m if adopted. Roads authority Transport NI asked experts to examine creating additional capacity on motorways due to "recurrent traffic congestion at peak times". Their report suggested the M1 and M2 in and out of Belfast become so-called "smart motorways". Similar schemes are already in operation in England. The hard shoulder on each side of the M1 between Stockman's Lane and Blaris would be turned into traffic lanes. On the M2, the hard shoulder would be converted to carriageway on both sides between York Street and Greencastle. A summary of the report, seen by the BBC, said the idea was at the concept stage but was considered "value for money". It highlighted that one drawback could be that it may encourage car use at the expense of public transport. The Freight Transport Association, which represents haulage firms, said the idea should be "given serious consideration." In a new book, Kenny MacAskill says Scottish ministers sought concessions from the UK government to expedite the transfer of Abdelbast al-Megrahi to Libya. Mr MacAskill was justice secretary when Megrahi was released on compassionate grounds in 2009. Megrahi died in Libya in May 2012. He was the only man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, in south west Scotland, that left 270 people dead on 21 December 1988. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said Mr MacAskill's revelation contradicted previous statements on Scottish ministers' involvement in Tony Blair's prisoner transfer agreement with Libya. The "deal in the desert" with former Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi would have seen Megrahi transferred from Greenock prison to serve the rest of his sentence in his home country. In the book, Mr MacAskill said he told Westminster officials the deal would cause "political difficulties" for the Scottish government. He said: "I explained that this would be made easier if they were able to offer some concessions to assist us ... the request for (concessions) was simply an opportunity to try to gain some benefits for Scotland from decisions that were clearly going to be taken anyway." The book also says the UK government admitted that it wanted to trade Megrahi to Libya in return for oil. Megrahi was subsequently released by Mr MacAskill on "compassionate grounds" after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the former MSP was later replaced as justice secretary by Michael Matheson. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has yet to reveal her cabinet for the SNP's next term in government following the Scottish election, but Mr Rennie said her new justice secretary's first job must be a statement to parliament on the claims in Mr MacAskill's book. Mr Rennie said: "In both 2007 and 2009 the first minister said he had no involvement in the prisoner transfer agreement and had not been consulted. "Now, Kenny MacAskill is claiming that Scottish ministers were actively involved and were trading away their objections in return for more devolved powers. "People will be concerned. Many were alarmed at the time that Tony Blair struck a deal in the desert with Colonel Gaddafi. Now it is suggested that Scottish ministers were involved at the highest level in attempts to trade off their personal concerns in return for new Scottish powers. "The first item of business on the new cabinet secretary for justice's desk must be coming to parliament to set the record straight. "We need to know whether the discussions that Mr MacAskill refers to in his book took place, who else was involved in these talks and what SNP ministers thought was a fair price for their silence."

The Harry Potter creator told The Observer that she had "a great deal of difficulty with" their insistence that the character "must be a white woman". Olivier winner Noma Dumezweni "was the best actress for the job," she went on. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child begins previewing at London's Palace Theatre on Tuesday. The two-part production, written by Jack Thorne, is eagerly anticipated and expected to be one of the year's biggest stage successes. Rowling said her "experience of social media" had led to her to expect "idiots were going to idiot" [sic] about Dumezweni's casting. "But what can you say? That's the way the world is," she continued, adding she had "decided not to get too agitated" about the reaction online. Instead, she said, she had decided to "simply state quite firmly that Hermione can be a black woman with my absolute blessing and enthusiasm." In the same Observer article, director John Tiffany is quoted as saying he was "shocked [that] people couldn't visualise a non-white person as the hero of a story". When Dumezweni's casting was announced last year, the author said Hermione's ethnicity was "never specified" and that she "loved" having the character played by a non-white actress. Emma Watson played the character in the eight Harry Potter films made between 2001 and 2011. The two-part Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the series and the first official story of the franchise to be presented on stage. The plot sees Harry Potter as a husband and father of three school-age children, with a job working for the Ministry of Magic. Rowling said she was "hopeful" that further story details would remain unrevealed ahead of the plays' official opening on 30 July. "I hope we get there without any major spoilers, purely because people will have an amazing experience if they don't know what's coming." Ticket holders have been asked to arrive early at performances due to the tight security procedures that will be in place. Fellow crew members Tim Kopra and Scott Kelly will go outside the ISS to fix a broken component, possibly as early as Monday, Nasa said. "It will be a very busy and interesting day for Tim," said Libby Jackson from the UK Space Agency. Mr Peak arrived at the ISS on Tuesday. He is the first UK astronaut to be employed as a professional astronaut by the European Space Agency. The space walk is taking place so the astronauts can try to fix a component called the "mobile transporter" - a rail that runs along much of the length of the space station, which a robotic arm can move along. Mr Peake, who is spending six months in space, will be following the space walk from the inside, the BBC's science correspondent Pallab Ghosh said. His duties will involve getting the crew suited and out of the airlock while talking to mission control, he added. The mobile transporter became stuck on Wednesday. "The cause of the stall is being evaluated, but experts believe it may be related to a stuck brake handle," said the mission's operations manager, Kenny Todd. The space walk will be the third in Mr Kelly's career and the second for Mr Kopra. Meanwhile, Mr Peake, who is spending his first weekend in space, has thanked the thousands of people around the world who sent him good luck messages. His blog also contains a selection of some of the best messages from social media sites Twitter and Instagram. As he does not have the time to reply to each message individually, he wrote: "The support for our launch was outstanding, and I want to thank each of you for the #GoodLuckTim messages. "From the schoolchildren who watched the launch in class, people watching on the underground, and viewers outside of UK, your messages have shown how much interest there is in space and they mean a great deal to me. "We are very busy up here but I promise to start sharing more of our life in space soon." The former Army aviator and helicopter test pilot has posted three pictures to his Twitter feed since Friday - one of the view towards Earth, one of him giving a thumbs-up to all his supporters and another of him giving blood for experiments being conducted in space. On Friday, during a live link-up from the space platform, he said his first few days in space had been "absolutely spectacular". Answering questions from reporters gathered at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, he said the first two hours had been "pretty rough" and he had been feeling "disorientated and dizzy". But he was able to show them a backwards somersault and said he was surprised how quickly his body had adapted to weightlessness. The French Catholic Church has been hit by claims of covering up abuse, though the cardinal has repeatedly denied the allegations. Pope Francis has approved measures to sack bishops who mishandle such cases. But it is unclear if the decree will affect Cardinal Barbarin. Police are investigating whether he failed to take action against a priest, Bernard Preynat, who is accused of abusing boy scouts between 1986 and 1991. The cardinal walked into a police station at 08:00 (06:00 GMT) on Wednesday. He was questioned as part of a preliminary investigation, officials said, and was not taken into custody. Complaints against the priest were made by an association of alleged victims called Parole liberee (freed word) which collected dozens of witness statements. Cardinal Barbarin did not move to the Lyon diocese until 2002 and says he knew nothing about the allegations until 2007. "I have never covered up any act of paedophilia," he insisted earlier this year. However, further cases involving the diocese have emerged in recent months, including an abuse allegation that came to light in 2009 involving another Lyon priest. And there are questions over why Bernard Preynat continued to work for the diocese until 2015. In March, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the cardinal should "take responsibility, speak and act", but stopped short of calling for his resignation. The Pope, who met the cardinal last month, has long promised a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse in the Catholic Church. On Saturday, his Apostolic letter urged "special diligence" in caring for minors and vulnerable adults and said bishops who were "negligent" in dealing with priests committing abuse would be removed under new legal procedures. Earlier this year, Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell admitted failing to act after a boy told him about a paedophile priest in Australia in 1974. The priest was eventually jailed last year for abusing boys in the 1970s and '80s. Olivier, 46 Yes I was one of the victims... I don't want to mention all his [the accused priest's] actions as they're pretty much what many others have already described, former scouts at Saint Luc. He pulled me into various rooms in the parish, into his bedroom, into his tent during (scout) camps and also at the back of a car coming back from a ski trip. If he hadn't been a priest he'd probably have been punished ages ago. Clearly the framework of the Church offered him the chance for his "child hunt" and for stacking up his "trophies" with complete impunity. Eric, 46 Until today I didn't even know his surname. I found out on Monday evening 25/1/16 on a Google news article which immediately caught me eye. The secret I'd hidden from my relatives until I was 33 affected dozens and dozens of people. Cyril, 46 Like many victims I remember that smell of cigarillos and of his breath getting faster. Difficult to say how long it lasted. I'd say 10 minutes perhaps more. Ten minutes that felt like an eternity. Sample of statements on the Parole Liberee (freed word) website Government files released under the 30-year rule show senior Tory ministers urged her not to spend public money on the "stony ground" of Merseyside. The then prime minister's Chancellor Sir Geoffrey Howe said it would be like "trying to make water flow uphill". The riots in Toxteth, Liverpool, on 3 July, triggered unrest across England. Mrs Thatcher responded by dispatching Environment Secretary Michael Heseltine to Liverpool as "minister for Merseyside" to lead a programme of urban regeneration. But behind the scenes in Whitehall, other senior figures were soon casting doubt on Mr Heseltine's ambitious plans, files reveal. Sir Geoffrey wrote to Mrs Thatcher warning of the need "not to overcommit scarce resources to Liverpool", saying that he feared Merseyside was "going to be much the hardest nut to crack". "We do not want to find ourselves concentrating all the limited cash that may have to be made available into Liverpool and having nothing left for possibly more promising areas such as the West Midlands or, even, the North East," his letter said. "It would be even more regrettable if some of the brighter ideas for renewing economic activity were to be sown only on relatively stony ground on the banks of the Mersey. "I cannot help feeling that the option of managed decline is one which we should not forget altogether. We must not expend all our limited resources in trying to make water flow uphill." Sir Geoffrey acknowledged the suggestion that the city could be left to a "managed decline" was potentially explosive. "This is not a term for use, even privately," he warned Mrs Thatcher. "It is much too negative." The head of the No 10 policy unit, John Hoskyns, also questioned the wisdom of sending Mr Heseltine to Liverpool, suggesting it was little more than a "political gesture". "The automatic assumption within Whitehall and in the country will be that such a minister, if he is to be seen taking action - which is, after all, his political raison d'etre - must be seen to spend money," he wrote. "This money is likely to be money wasted. Neither the chosen minister nor Whitehall as a whole, will have much idea of how to tackle the real problem-solving task, as distinct from the (important) political gesture." Mr Heseltine, who was pressing for an annual budget of ??100m, had insisted that he needed real powers to act. "There is no point in thinking for one moment that the exercise would be anything other than a disaster if I was not empowered to take real decisions on my own responsibility whilst I am there," he had informed Mrs Thatcher. "Without the announcement that some extra resources will be available I am sure that the government's commitment will lack credibility." But when ministers met that September to discuss his proposals, the Treasury said it would "impossible" to fix a sum in advance without seeing exactly how the money would be spent. The alert comes in new FDA rules that define how medical equipment makers should tackle cyber-threats. Manufacturers should be constantly vigilant, said the watchdog, and make sure they can patch the flaws found in gadgets. Its rules come at the end of a year that saw flaws found in many medical devices, and hospitals hit by malware. "Cyber-security threats are real, ever-present, and continuously changing," wrote Dr Suzanne Schwartz, FDA associate director at its centre for devices and radiological health, in a blog. "Hospital networks experience constant attempts of intrusion and attack, which can pose a threat to patient safety." To tackle threats to devices in hospitals or worn by patients manufacturers needed to think about security throughout a product's entire lifecycle, wrote Dr Schwartz. In addition, she said, they needed to: Manufacturers should also become more comfortable working with security researchers who scrutinise gadgets for flaws, she said. Some researchers were threatened with legal action after highlighting a flaw. Researchers have uncovered problems in many products, including defibrillators and drug infusion pumps. Some have also documented attacks on larger pieces of equipment such as MRI scanners. Many hospitals also fell victim to ransomware attacks in 2016 - software that made their data unintelligible and demanded a payment to restore it to its prior state. In some cases operations and other procedures were cancelled because computer systems were knocked out by malware. "As hackers become more sophisticated, these cyber-security risks will evolve," wrote Dr Schwartz. The FDA pointed out that the rules are not legally binding but instead represent its advice to manufacturers. However, the guidance said manufacturers had to notify the regulator if a flaw in a product led to someone being harmed or killed. Security researcher Beau Woods said the FDA had been instrumental in getting healthcare organisations, manufacturers and cyber experts talking about how to tackle and fix vulnerabilities. "If you look at the general trend over the last few years we are getting better and we are fixing them faster than we were before," said Mr Woods, who is a member of an organisation called I Am The Cavalry that researches and advises on cyber issues that effect public safety. This had led to many manufacturers adopting good vulnerability disclosure schemes and to some organisations that buy a lot of medical equipment demanding higher standards from their suppliers. However, he said, the hyper-connectedness of all organisations including hospitals meant devices never meant to be online were now accessible via the net. Mr Woods said he had seen attacks aimed at stealing personal data accidentally knock out older medical equipment that helped monitor vital life signs. "It's those types of things that scare me much more than someone lurking in the shadows," said Mr Woods who is deputy director of the cyber statecraft initiative at the Atlantic Council think tank. The FDA rules have been issued days before the start of the massive CES tech show in Las Vegas. Gadgets that help people live healthier lives or let them manage chronic conditions, such as diabetes, are expected to feature strongly at the show. Academics from the University of Edinburgh argue numbers have actually been falling in Britain and the ratio of working adults to dependent pensioners is improving. The research questions an assumption behind arguments for health, social care and immigration policies. The findings were published in the British Medical Journal. "The extent, speed and effect of population ageing have all been exaggerated and we should not assume that it will strain health and social care systems," Professor John MacInnes and senior research fellow Jeroen Spijker write in the article 'Population Ageing: The timebomb that isn't?' The mistake people have been making, the paper suggests, is to assume that all pensioners are dependent and all working-age adults are workers. They point out that, while it is true there are now more people over 65 in the UK than children under 15, rising life expectancy means older people are effectively "younger", healthier and fitter than previous generations. Instead of simply looking at how old someone is, the research focuses on how long they might be expected to live. "Many behaviours and attitudes (including those related to health) are more strongly linked to remaining life expectancy than to age," it says. In 1841, life expectancy at birth was 40 years for males and 42 years for females. By 1900 it was 52 and 57 and today it is 79 and 83. So the point at which we enter 'old age' has also been changing. Equally, using age to define the adult working populations makes little sense, the authors suggest, because "there are more dependents of working age (9.5 million) than there are older people who do not work". So they calculated an alternative measure, what they call "the real elderly dependency ratio", based on the sum of men and women with a remaining life expectancy of up to 15 years divided by the number of people in employment, irrespective of age. Using this measure, the paper calculates that old-age dependency in the UK fell by one third over the past four decades - and is likely to stabilise close to its current level. The measure suggests similar falls in many other countries. "Our calculations show that - over the past four decades - the population far from ageing, has in fact been getting younger, with increasing numbers of people in work for every older person or child," the authors say. "The different story of population ageing told by our real elderly dependency ratio has several important implications for health policy and clinical practice." In policy terms, this analysis to one of the central challenges of an ageing population might be something of a game changer. Rather than seeing longevity itself as an expensive problem, focus could shift towards managing morbidity and remaining life expectancy. The paper demands society rethink some of its assumptions about elderly dependency - drawing a distinction between the 'young old' and the 'old old', if you like. The census in 2011 showed that 1.4 million people of state pension age in the UK were in employment - almost double what it was just two decades earlier. Of those aged between 65 and 74, 16% were economically active at the last count. Just over half of all pensioners describe themselves as being in good health and, while demand for elderly care services is rising, the BMJ article suggests the key drivers in deciding the impact on care budgets will be medical knowledge and technology. Christopher Tester, 37, from Torquay was wounded during a robbery at his parents' restaurant on Christmas Day. His sister, Vicky Tester, said her brother was being flown to the neighbouring island of Guadeloupe for specialist treatment. She said he remained in an induced coma, but his condition was stable. Friends have set up a fundraising appeal to bring him home, because he did not have travel insurance. It has now raised more than £59,000. Speaking to the BBC, Miss Tester said her brother had planned to spend three weeks with his parents on the Caribbean island. Describing him as "placid, laid back and easy going", she said her brother would be "gobsmacked" when he realised how many people had donated money to help him. Miss Tester first realised something was wrong when she noticed a missed call from her parents early on Boxing Day morning. ABS Television in Antigua posted a police statement saying masked gunman shot Mr Tester in a struggle during a bid to rob the family. The Foyle Cup is now in its 25th year and has attracted a record entry of 310 teams. An opening parade weaved its way through the city on Tuesday. Foyle Cup chairman Michael Hutton said it was the biggest tourist event in Derry, He said there were 310 teams, a festival of football for six days and 1,034 games. Earlier this year, fears for the future of the tournament were raised after funding was cut by 50% by Tourism Northern Ireland. The organisers had said that would prevent them attracting the same calibre of teams from abroad as in previous years. They also argued that the event, which started out as an eight-team youth tournament in 1992, is worth almost £2m to the local economy. "It's as big, if not bigger, than the jazz festival, the Halloween festival and indeed the maritime festival in terms of bed nights created. "We have about 5,000 young people marching in a parade for the mayor's welcome at Guildhall Square today. "It's great to see the pro clubs from England and Scotland, it's great to welcome our teams from New York. We have Landsdowne Bhoys here for the first time and Everton America." Mr Hutton also welcomed greater involvement from the ladies teams. "There's definitely been an increase in girls and ladies football. "This year we have 28 teams in all, we're doing all we can to promote the development of girls and ladies football throughout the north of Ireland and Ireland in general and it's great to see." The Foyle Cup tournament will be held at various venues in the north-west until 22 July. 1 December 2013 Last updated at 09:20 GMT Both machines have new features which Microsoft and Sony hope will convince gamers to back their console.

Read: Newsround's guide to games consoles The orchestra, together with music director Peter Oundjian and star violinist Nicola Benedetti, will perform throughout the state of Florida over the 10 days from Monday. RSNO tours US for first time in 35 years When the orchestra departed for Philadelphia via Shannon Airport in Ireland and New York on 19 October 1982, my first son Jonathan was just eight months old. A few weeks ago he celebrated his 35th birthday. Johnny is now married and has two daughters of his own. How quickly time passes. I remember the orchestra's percussionist Alan Stark's outrage at Shannon Airport when it was revealed that a pint of draught Guinness cost the princely sum of 99p. The '82 tour (I was also on the 1975 US tour) was exactly three weeks long, more than the forthcoming Florida tour. Jonathan was noticeably older when he and Moira came to meet me at Glasgow Airport on my return. I see from the schedule that there were 16 concerts. Wow! It's a wonder that any of my family recognised me when I got back. From Philadelphia we travelled by coach (three coaches required to transport the whole orchestra) to Worcester near Boston, then on to Long Island, Worcester again (different hall), then Amherst. We flew to Chicago where E.T. The Extra Terrestrial was showing at the cinemas. I decided to go to see one of the Rocky films, and remember the audience getting very excited at the shooting scenes while a young mother sitting somewhere behind me was breastfeeding her small baby. The orchestra management were quite nervous about us leaving the hotel in Chicago on the free day there but I think most of us managed to get to the Hancock Center and Sears Tower. We later heard that there had been a shoot-out at a pub close to the hotel. From Chicago we flew to Columbia in South Carolina. Programmes for the tour, which was conducted by our music director at the time, Sir Alexander Gibson, mainly included Sibelius' Symphonies Two and Five, and Mahler's Symphony No 4. A mock rendition of the opening of Mahler's Fourth Symphony, with its sleigh bell intro, was provided by SNO Bass player Jim Hamilton nearly every day on the 3rd coach, using empty beer cans shaken rhythmically inside a black bin bag. There was no lack of entertainment on the 3rd coach. Britten, Richard Strauss, Elgar, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms were also represented; the latter's first Piano Concerto being played by one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, the distinguished Claudio Arrau. Scottish soprano Margaret Marshall was the soloist in the last movement of Mahler 4. More concerts followed in Radford Virginia and Knoxville Tennessee. On 31 October we flew to Ottawa via Pittsburgh. After a concert and free day there, we were bussed to the New Massey Hall in Toronto. Concert 12 was in Hartford, Connecticut followed by Wilmington, Delaware (2 concerts). It was amazing that we had any energy left for the last (and probably the most important) concerts in Washington DC (Kennedy Center) and New York (Carnegie Hall). I'm sure I wouldn't have the energy to do a tour like that again. It certainly was quite an experience though. I still can't listen to Mahler 4 without imagining the sound of empty lager cans and a bus full of lustily singing musicians. The orchestra gave its first North American tour in November 1975 to mark the 25th anniversary of the transformation of the Scottish Orchestra to the Scottish National Orchestra. It was a great undertaking with 17 concerts given over three weeks in different cities from Ottawa in the north to Danville, Kentucky, in the south - finishing up with concerts in New York and Washington. I was on the board of the orchestra back in 1975 and had the pleasure of travelling with them. All the concerts were conducted by Alexander Gibson with soloists John Lill, Michael D Davis and Keith Pearson - the latter two being respectively leader and principal clarinet. The repertoire was extensive (14 different works) including one world premiere (Iain Hamilton's Aurora ) and two other substantial contemporary works by Scottish composers - Hamilton's Violin Concerto and Musgrave's Clarinet Concerto. The concert halls were generally much larger than is usual in Europe, having capacities from 3,000 to 6,000. Sam Borwho, who had recently retired as leader, travelled with us to sit out front and assist Alex Gibson with advice on balance issues during rehearsals. The highlight concert for me was the penultimate one in Carnegie Hall, which had the premiere performance of Aurora in the presence of its composer and concluded with Elgar's Enigma Variations. It was quite the most overwhelming performance of the piece I have heard in more than 60 years of concert-going, with the final bars reinforced by the optional organ part. It was the memory of that performance which many years later fired my determination that the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall should have an organ, which I am delighted to say it now has. That Carnegie Hall concert was also notable for a number of the audience deciding that Highland Dress or rather their perception of Highland Dress was appropriate. Most of them looked as though they had strayed from a production of Brigadoon. In Washington we were invited to a reception at the British Embassy where Sir Robert Mayer, then aged 95, was staying as a guest of the Ambassador. Sir Robert spent most of his life and wealth promoting music for young people until his death at the great age of 105. It was a thrill to meet and speak to someone who at the age of 11 had met Brahms and played one of his piano works for him. Paul McGowan and Michael Duffy fired the Dens Park side ahead before Stewart grabbed his first on the rebound. Julen Etxabeguren made it 4-0 before Stewart fired his second - his sixth in three games. Headers from Rory Loy and Yordi Teijsse capped a chastening day for the League Two visitors. Stewart, who has been the subject of sustained speculation about his future, floated a ball through to McGowan who made a terrific run through the heart of the Forfar defence to clip the ball over the advancing Grant Adam. Number two for the home side was a thing of beauty and came just after the half-hour mark. On-loan Celtic striker Duffy decided to have a crack at goal from fully 35 yards and the ball thundered into the net off the underside of the crossbar. A magnificent strike by Duffy as the home fans come to terms with the departure of Kane Hemmings to Oxford United. Another debutant for Dundee, Dutch striker Yordi Teijsse, also looked sharp and an acrobatic overhead kick was saved by Grant Adam in the Forfar goal low to his left hand post. The game was over as a contest before the break when Stewart notched Dundee's third. A header by Teijsse was blocked by Adam but Stewart was first to react and knock the ball home underneath the legs of the keeper. The home side continued their pressure on the Forfar goal in the second half and goal number four came after 55 minutes. Darren O'Dea knocked a header towards goal that was blocked by Adam but Extebeguren was there to tap the rebound into the empty net. And the crowd were on their feet applauding when Stewart thundered the ball beyond Adam from fully twenty five yards out. A stunning goal. The sixth goal duly came when a Cammy Smith cross was met by the head of substitute Rory Loy to nod the ball into the corner. With two minutes left the scoring was complete when Teijsse completed a move he began in his own half, his header from close range wrapping up a comprehensive victory for Paul Hartley's side.

Family and friends hauled him on to the island of Inchmurrin with the assistance of Loch Lomond National Park staff. He was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow, where police said his condition was "serious but stable". A bulletin on the Loch Lomond rescue boat website said: "The crew launched immediately and proceeded to the scene. "Arriving on scene, the male was found to be still in the water suffering various injuries and been assisted to stay afloat by two persons in the water and with the assistance of the park authority staff. "The rescue boat crew then assisted in carefully removing the male from the water before taking over treatment and immobilising the patient. "Coastguard rescue 999 arriving on scene and was able to land on Inchmurrin island, with the assistance of the park authority transferred the male to that location where we continued to fully immobilise him on our vacuum mattress and give further medical treatment. "After a period of time the male was taken to the helicopter and loaded on board before been flown to Glasgow for further treatment." A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We got a call at around 7.35pm on Saturday to report that a man had been injured in the collision of two jet skis. "He was assisted by friends and family who managed to get him on to Inchmurrin island, and he was airlifted to Glasgow Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition." Like US, Canadian or Australian citizens, Brazilians can visit the UK for up to six months without a visa. The home secretary was considering introducing restrictions amid concerns about illegal immigration from Brazil. But Mrs May has shelved the plan following protests about its impact on efforts to boost business links with the country. Brazil is fifth in the top 10 of illegal immigrant nationalities in the UK, according to Home Office figures for 2011, and is the only country on the list for which short-term visitors do not need a visa. But the government is attempting to develop closer trading links with Brazil - seen as an emerging economic powerhouse. A government spokesperson said: "Brazil is an important partner for the UK and we are investing greatly in our diplomatic and economic ties. "We have no current plans to impose a visa regime on Brazil." Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed the decision to keep visa-free access for Brazilian tourists at Prime Minister's Questions, after a Lib Dem MP, John Thurso, warned imposing restrictions could harm the tourist trade. Mr Cameron told MPs: "The National Security Council met recently to consider some of these border issues and it has decided not to put these visas on to Brazilian nationals. "We want to work with the Brazilians to enhance border security." He also hinted that Chinese tourists could face less stringent checks in future, telling MPs the government was "looking at a number of steps to make sure we attract tourists from the fastest growing economies, including China and elsewhere." Brazil is the only one of the four so-called fast-growing BRIC nations - which also includes Russia, India and China - to have no visa restrictions for short visits to the UK. The Home Office said this was a "long standing" agreement - but stressed Brazilian nationals entering the UK for other purposes, such as work or study, must ensure that they have the appropriate visa. Conservative MP Robert Halfon, chairman of the all-party group on Brazil, welcomed the government's decision. "I am delighted it is not going to happen because Brazil is one of the most important nations on earth and we have to build as close relations with them as possible." Such a move would have "given out a signal to Brazilian business" that the UK was closed for business and would have been a "retrograde" step, he added. Mr Halfon lobbied the government to scrap its planned visa restrictions, pointing out, in a letter to the Financial Times, that Brazilian tourists spent £302m in the UK in 2011, 25% more than spent by Chinese visitors, who must apply for visitor visas. But campaign group Migration Watch said the government's decision appeared to have been taken for "all the wrong reasons". "Three years ago there was significant abuse from Brazilians who were coming here for short stays, or as visitors, and staying on," Migration Watch vice-chairman Alp Mehmet told the BBC. "Serious consideration was given at that time to visas, and I assume the situation has not changed." He said Mr Halfon was "simply wrong" to suggest it would send out the wrong signal to business. "It doesn't send out any sort of signal at all. The number of business visas from all over the world, including countries where there is a visa regime, has gone up." Mr Mehmet added: "Of course we want to make it as unproblematic as possible for people to come here and spend their money and have a good time." But the answer was to introduce simple, workable visas rather than continue to have no visas at all, he argued. In 2008, the then Labour government warned Brazil and 10 other countries they faced restrictions on short-term visas unless they took steps to improve passport checks and "significantly reduce" abuses. The following year, visas were introduced for visitors from South Africa, Venezuela, Bolivia, Lesotho and Swaziland. But Brazil, Namibia, Malaysia, Botswana, Trinidad and Tobago and Mauritius continued to enjoy visa-free access for short visits. Peter Stuart McElroy, 29, appeared before Belfast Magistrates' Court on Thursday. McElroy, of no fixed abode, was arrested in March, after police were called to Donegall Place following reports of a man begging in the street. He admitted four charges linked to two separate incidents he was involved in earlier this year. A prosecuting lawyer said that McElroy was observed approaching a number of females, some of whom opened their bags and gave him items. When he was arrested and cautioned, he made no reply. Police were called to the same area of the city centre in April. It was reported that a group of men were acting suspiciously outside McDonald's restaurant. Officers saw an object being dropped on the ground. McElroy was standing beside the object, which the court heard was a knife with a four-inch blade, and as he was being arrested, tried to headbutt an officer. He continued to struggle as he was being handcuffed and tried to spit in an officer's face. The prosecutor said the incident occurred in a busy area of the city where "members of the public were present, including children." He was charged with disorderly behaviour, assaulting police and resisting police. His defence lawyer said his client was a heroin addict who was currently on the waiting list for a place in rehabilitation and that he was not charged with any offences linked to the knife. The judge handed McElroy concurrent two-month sentences on each of the four charges. A three-month suspended sentence was also activated, meaning he will serve a sentence of three months. Istanbul's governor reopened Gezi Park - next to Taksim Square - to the public earlier on Monday, but shut it again after protest leaders called a rally. The park had been shut since 15 June, when police ejected people occupying it in protest at redevelopment plans. The authorities' response to the protest sparked nationwide unrest. Four people were killed and thousands more were injured as police cracked down on anti-government demonstrators, who accused Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of becoming increasingly authoritarian. Hundreds of people flocked to Gezi Park on Monday afternoon after Istanbul governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu declared it open once again. Mr Mutlu said staff had tried to improve the park while it was sealed off, planting additional trees and shrubs and replacing damaged grass. But, in a clear warning to protesters, he also warned that it was no place for "forums, occupations or marches". "Blocking the parks, making them areas for demonstrations, preventing children, elderly and [others] from using these areas and turning this into a security problem - we would never ever allow that," he told reporters. Taksim Solidarity, a group of political parties and non-governmental organisations, subsequently called a public meeting in the park at 19:00 (16:00 GMT), prompting the authorities to close it after only three hours. Dozens of people were forced to leave by police, who used their shields to eject some who resisted. Officers then used tear gas and water cannon to break up a crowd of several thousand people marching along Istanbul's main shopping street towards Taksim Square, according to the Reuters news agency. On Saturday, police prevented thousands of people trying to enter Gezi Park as part of a rally called by Taksim Solidarity to serve notice to the authorities of a court decision that annulled the redevelopment plan. An administrative court said locals had not been consulted sufficiently about replacing the park with a replica of an Ottoman-era military barracks and a mosque, and that the work would not serve the public. However, the ruling is not final and the government is expected to appeal. More than nine in 10 people living in Wales said "yes" when asked if they were happy where they live. But the survey of more than 2,000 respondents found that people in Northern Ireland are the least happy about where they lived. Research by Co-op Insurance suggested people living in Yorkshire and south west England were also satisfied. The study also claims the price of a home may have more of an influence on home buyers' decisions than the location. Nearly half of people surveyed said the size of the garden was a major factor when buying a house, a third said access to transport links was vital and a quarter wanted storage space and to be near a good school. Two-thirds of people said a good sense of community spirit was the key to being happy with where you live and nearly one in five had considered how nice the neighbours seemed before putting in an offer on a property. Wales 93.4% South West 92.8% Yorkshire and the Humber 92.8% West Midlands 91.6% South East 91.2% Scotland 88.7% London 88.7% East Midlands 87.5% North East, 86.7% North West, 86.1% East Anglia 83.2% Northern Ireland, 82.1% In the traditional half day New Year's Eve session, the index closed at 6,242, down 32 points or 0.5% on the day, and 5% down on the start of the year. The market's fall has been due to the preponderance of international gas, oil and mining shares in the 100 index. Their businesses have been hit by the huge drop in commodity prices in the past year. The FTSE-100 index has also ended the year 12% below its record level recorded in April this year of 7,104. Steve Clayton, head of equity research at the investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "It has been a fairly polarised year - weakness in share prices has been a second-half phenomenon." "Staying away from the mining and energy market stocks, it has been a quite an even story," he added. The value of the 100 share index also fell in the calendar years 2008, 2011 and 2014. According to figures from the Bloomberg financial information service, £100 invested at the start of the year in the broader FTSE All-Share index, which covers all publicly listed companies, would now be worth 2% less. But if dividends from those shares had been reinvested then a shareholder would still have seen the value of their holdings rise by 1.4% in the past year. This reflects the fact that the income from share dividends across the whole of the UK stock market currently offers investors a yield of more than 3.5% year. This is highly attractive compared to the nugatory returns that savers receive on their short- and medium-term cash savings accounts. "If you have been trying to live off your interest you have been living from hand-to-mouth" Mr Clayton said. According to Ben Kumar, at Seven Investment Management, outside of the mining and energy sectors it has in fact not been a bad year for stock market investors, "Shares in the FTSE 250 index [covering the 250 biggest shares beyond those in the 100 index] have risen by about 8.5% this year, as the index is based more on consumer and UK focussed stocks", he said. "By comparison, only 25% of FTSE 100 revenues come from the UK," he added. But Steve Clayton at Hargreaves Lansdown pointed out that investors relying on dividend income might suffer a "sting in the tail" from the fall in revenues faced by the big gas, oil and mining firms. These have traditionally been big dividend payers. "These sorts of companies make up 13% of the All-Share index, and their dividend yields are running high at the moment," Mr Clayton said. "But this year both Glencore and Anglo American abolished their dividends [to save cash] which shows that other firms' dividends may be cut too." Two members of the group Yellow Dogs and a third artist were slain by a fellow musician, Ali Akbar Mahammadi Rafie, who later took his own life. Police believe the attack happened as Rafie, 29, was upset after being thrown out of another band. Two of those killed had just received political asylum in the US. They were brothers and members of the Yellow Dogs, who described themselves on their Twitter feed as "a Post Punk/Dance Punk band from Tehran/Iran, living in Brooklyn at the moment". Gunfire rang out early on Monday as Rafie climbed from the roof on to a third-floor terrace where he opened fire through a window, shooting dead Ali Eskandarian, 35, a musician, said police. Arash Farazmand, 28, the Yellow Dogs drummer, was found dead on the same level of the apartment. His brother, Soroush Farazmand, 27, the band's guitarist, was using his laptop in bed when he received fatal gunshot injuries. The Yellow Dogs' two other members were not at the flat at the time of the killing. According to police, another unidentified tenant was hit in the arm as Rafie and a former fellow band mate from a group called the Free Keys struggled over the gun. Rafie retrieved ammunition that had fallen out of the firearm, went to the roof and shot himself in the head, said police. The person wounded in the arm was taken to hospital and is said to be in stable condition. Rafie "was upset that he wasn't in the band anymore", said New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy. Investigators believe the gunman and his former Free Keys members, may have had an argument over money, but it was unclear why he shot at members of the Yellow Dogs. The rifle was found next to Rafie's body, according to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. He said it had been purchased in New York state in 2006, and police were tracking its history. Police are investigating whether a guitar case found near the scene was used to carry the assault rifle in the attack. The Yellow Dogs were well-known among young Iranian expatriates in the US, reports Bahman Kalbasi of the BBC Persian service. Ali Salehezadeh, the band's manager, said the gunman knew the victims but had not spoken to them in months because of a "petty conflict". "There was a decision not to be around each other," he said. "They were never that close to begin with. We thought it was all behind us." The shooting took place in Brooklyn's East Williamsburg neighbourhood, known for its edgy, creative vibe and community of artists and musicians. The band members had lived in the neighbourhood. "They seem like really nice guys," a local man, Martin Greenman, told the New York Daily News. "They didn't seem to be in any way to be violent guys. They weren't rabble rousers or anything like that." Mr Salehezadeh said the victims' relatives were stunned. "People don't own guns in Iran," he said. "We don't have this problem there. It doesn't exist." Members of an Iranian band with the same name were interviewed by US consulate officials in Istanbul in 2009 as they applied for a visa for a US tour, according to a diplomatic cable leaked to Wikileaks. They described the "small but crazy" underground rock scene in Tehran, saying it was the community that offered "the most free expression" in Iran. Under a new law passed in May, transgender citizens can request having their name, gender and photo changed on official documents in order to reflect the gender they identify with. It was strongly opposed by the Catholic and the Evangelic Church in Bolivia. Similar laws are already in force in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay. Under Bolivia's Gender Identity Law, Bolivians who wish to change their gender on state-issued documents will have to be 18 years of age or older and have an interview with a psychologist before new identity documents are issued. Despite the restriction, LGBTI activists welcomed the move as "a step forward". Geraldine Valenzuela told Reuters news agency that she had suffered from discrimination and psychological, verbal and physical violence for decades. "I believe that everything that has happened has borne fruit," she added. LGBTI groups said they expect about 1,500 people would take advantage of the new law to have their documents changed. Back when the law was passed, Vice-President Alvaro Garcia Linera said it would put an end to "social hypocrisy" in Bolivia, where members of the LGBTI community often face disparaging comments or abuse. President Evo Morales has come under fire on several occasions for disparaging remarks he has made. In November, he apologised after making a jibe implying his health minister may be lesbian. And in 2010, he caused outrage when he said eating chicken rich in oestrogen caused men to "deviate from themselves as men". Activists said the law, which was introduced in parliament by Mr Morales' administration, signalled a welcome change. Polls suggest there has been a shift in attitudes towards LGBTI people in Latin America in recent years. In the past six years, same-sex marriage has become legal in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay, as well as some states in Mexico. The clubs, both borne out of the old Wimbledon, faced each other in the FA Cup two years ago, which MK also won. This cup tie lacked the hype of the previous encounter, particularly after Kyle McFadzean, Daniel Powell and Benik Afobe had put MK 3-0 up. Matt Tubbs scored a late consolation penalty, which provoked a mini pitch invasion from some travelling fans. It is 11 years since the old Wimbledon was moved 60 miles north to Milton Keynes by music mogul Pete Winkelman, and 10 years since the club was rebranded into MK Dons. But still AFC Wimbledon, the phoenix club created by fans, are searching for the win that may provide them with the smallest sensation of revenge. Whether beating the enemy would make any of the past decade easier to bear is yet to be seen, but what possibly grates the most is the sight of their rivals building a youthful, attractive team, who were fully deserving of their win. It was clear to see that the outpouring emotions that set the tone of the first meeting were heavily diluted this time around, with fewer fans from both sides in attendance. And gone were the banners and signs, that were so prevalent two years ago, proclaiming ownership of the genuine heritage to the now extinct Crazy Gang. That does not mean old wounds do not run deep though, as some AFC fans who made the trip to Buckinghamshire still harbour enough resentment to feel they needed to rush to the front of the stand after MK's second goal and scamper onto the pitch after their late consolation. Both incidents were quickly quietened by stewards. AFC, a division below the hosts in League Two, should have led in the game, when Tubbs' parried shot was hit tamely by Sean Rigg on the rebound, and it was just seconds later that MK had the lead. Media playback is not supported on this device McFadzean, who has two goals from his first two MK appearances, connected with a near-post flick from a Danny Green corner that somehow found its way in, and from that point onwards Karl Robinson's men looked comfortable. Powell's effort from the edge of the area shortly after the break wrong-footed James Shea in the AFC goal and then the visitors' defensive duo of Alan Bennett and Mark Phillips got into such a mix-up that Afobe was able to stroll through and calmly finish. There was still time for a couple of scuffles between players and for Tom Hitchcock to force a goal-saving clearance from Bennett under his own bar, before McFadzean brought down Tubbs, who converted from the spot in injury time. But, despite a couple of tense moments, the signs are that this fixture may well be close to becoming a reasonably sedate affair. That is until the first meeting at Kingsmeadow, whenever that may be. AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley: "I think they were better than us. They have a very, brave open philosophy. To concede from a set-piece is hard because you're chasing the game from that point. "We want a cup run, but we would have liked to have put a smile on the face of our fans. But we're not defined by whether we can beat Milton Keynes, we're defined by what's happened over the last 12 years. "[The mini pitch invasion] was disappointing. Obviously they want to celebrate the goal. But it is just a minority who have toppled over the edge with their emotion. I don't think there is too much malice in it." MK Dons boss Karl Robinson: "It was satisfactory. It's always a hard fixture. You have to give credit to Neal and his team for how they approached the game. But I thought we looked very clinical. "It's going to be a very competitive fixture from here on in, regardless of where we play them or whatever league it is in. "It will never be like the first one. But you have to be careful, because you don't want to undermine anybody and hopefully we've come out of this being very respectful to the opposition." Under the changes, the four provincial winners would be joined in the two groups by four qualifiers. This would mean the provincial winners having to play three group games as opposed to just one in order to secure an All-Ireland semi-final place. Kerry have made the All-Ireland semis this year after beating only two teams. The Kingdom defeated Clare and Tipperary in the Munster Championship before meeting Clare again in the All-Ireland quarter-finals last weekend. A GAA statement said the proposed changes would "provide a more exacting pathway to the All-Ireland final". "This will have the effect of ensuring that the finalists will have been equally tested and that the two best teams in the country contest the All-Ireland final," said the GAA. "Both All-Ireland semi-finals would be played over the one weekend which should generate greater excitement and also ensure both teams have the same period of time to prepare for the All-Ireland final." The proposals also include a provision for Division Three and Four teams being granted home advantage in games against Division One or Two sides in the opening three rounds of the qualifiers. The round-robin groups would see each county having one home game and one away match plus a game at Croke Park and an overall increase of eight matches in the championship. If teams are level on points at the conclusion of the two groups, the result of the game between the sides would be used to separate them or in the event of a draw, the higher scorer in the table would be given the verdict. If the changes are adopted, extra-time will be played in the event of a draw in all football championship games while the National Football League semi-finals will be abolished. The current championship structure has been in place since 2001. Eight Tornado jets, based out of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, along with 10 Reaper unmanned drones, flying from an undisclosed Middle East airbase, have now carried out more than 1,300 combat sorties, including more than 300 air strikes. It costs a lot to take out an IS fighter using so called precision weapons. A total of 93 Brimstone missiles have been fired - each costing more than £100,000; 244 Paveway IV bombs have been dropped - each costing more than £20,000; along with 212 Hellfire missiles - each costing about £70,000. With all that firepower, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estimates it has killed around 330 Islamic State (IS) fighters. However it admits this is a rough approximation given that Britain has no boots on the ground to assess the strikes. Some might raise eyebrows when the defence secretary claims no civilians have been killed in those airstrikes. But it is clear the coalition is taking far greater care to protect life than Islamic State. There is no moral equivalence. So what's been the impact of those airstrikes so far in this war? Britain's just one member of the US-led coalition, and its contribution is dwarfed by the US. Nevertheless, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon insists the UK's contribution is the second largest and should not just be measured in airstrikes alone. The RAF's also carrying out more than 30% of all the coalition's Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Not just over Iraq, but over Syria too. We joined such a mission, boarding a Sentinel spy plane at RAF Akrotiri to look down onto Syria and into the activities of IS. This small, modified executive jet bulges with powerful sensors and radar which can scan thousands of square miles. On board three of the five crew peer into computer screens to analyse the information. We were asked not to identify them for security reasons. Nor were we allowed to film or photograph their screens. The Sentinel acts as a wide search-light sweeping huge tracts of land. Once it identifies anything of potential interest it can call in the spotlight - other aircraft, such as fighter jets or drones, fitted with cameras to take a closer look. Flying high above the border between Iraq and Syria, one of the crew, "Mark", described what he was seeing on his screen. To my untrained eye it looked like scratches. It was, in fact, hundreds of oil tankers queueing up at a refinery. Mark followed the path of the trucks as they went across the border into Iraq. Oil is one of the extremists' main sources of income. Acting on this intelligence though is not always easy. Calling in air strikes could end up killing innocent civilians who may have been forced to drive the trucks. Hitting oil refineries can also cause significant environmental damage. It underlines the problems of fighting a war from tens of thousands of feet in the air. The Sentinel crew say the picture they see in Iraq is much clearer than the one over Syria. In Iraq they can follow the battle. The coalition claims that IS have already lost a quarter of the territory they once occupied. I ask the commanding officer on board, Dave, whether he thinks the coalition is winning. "I think if we look on the Iraqi side of the border, I would say 'yes'," he says. But when it comes to Syria he admits "the picture is so confused there I don't think we could claim one way or the other at the moment". And the situation in Syria is becoming more complex. As we're flying near the border the crew identify a Russian military aircraft in Syrian airspace. Moscow's been helping President Assad, and the increased Russian presence is another concern for the coalition. The government's made clear it wants to expand Britain's military action to include targets in Syria as well as Iraq. After all, IS pays little attention to the border. Back on the ground, the RAF officer overseeing the whole operation, is waiting for the order. Air Commodore Sammy Sampson believes the RAF's involvement in Syria "would have a real benefit to the coalition". It is a political decision but he added: "I can guarantee we'll be ready as soon as they say." But even if the RAF gets the green light to conduct airstrikes over Syria, it probably would not mean an increased military presence. The RAF's frontline squadrons are already stretched. Nor is there an end in sight. Sentinel crews, will be flying for months to come. The defence secretary has just announced an extension of their mission into 2016. Even though they believe they are making a difference one of the Sentinel crew answers his own question: "From the air are we going to solve the crises on the ground? Not at the moment- no." Presenters Clare Balding, Victoria Derbyshire and Emily Maitlis are among those who have signed an open letter to director general Tony Hall. They urge him to "correct" the disparity over gender pay, which they say has been known "for years". Lord Hall said "work is already well under way" to resolve the pay gap. On Wednesday, the BBC revealed the salaries of stars earning more than £150,000. The salaries, published in the corporation's annual report, revealed two-thirds of its stars earning more than £150,000 are male, with Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans the top-paid on between £2.2m and £2.25m. Claudia Winkleman - whose name was not on the original letter - was the highest-paid female celebrity, earning between £450,000 and £500,000 last year. Education Secretary Justine Greening said the BBC's gender pay gap was "hard to justify", while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said discrepancies were "astronomical". More than 40 signatories include BBC Sport's Sue Barker, BBC Radio 4 Today programme journalists Mishal Husain and Sarah Montague, BBC News and Antiques Roadshow presenter Fiona Bruce and The One Show's Alex Jones. The report shows "what many of us have suspected for many years... that women at the BBC are being paid less than men for the same work," the letter says. Pay disparities continue "beyond the list" of those earning more than £150,000, they add, including in areas of production, engineering, and regional and local media. The letter continues: "Compared to many women and men, we are very well compensated and fortunate. "However, this is an age of equality and the BBC is an organisation that prides itself on its values. "You have said that you will 'sort' the gender pay gap by 2020, but the BBC has known about the pay disparity for years. We all want to go on the record to call upon you to act now." The women say they are "prepared to meet" Lord Hall to ensure "future generations of women do not face this kind of discrimination". Woman's Hour presenter Jane Garvey - who organised the letter and is not on the list of top earners - told BBC Radio 4's BH programme the BBC should "set a standard" when it comes to fair pay. "We are not after pay parity," she said, "it is fairness that we are in pursuit of here, not enormous pay rises." "I love what the BBC is meant to stand for - let's show the rest of Britain what this incredible institution can do." Clare Balding said she became concerned about the gender pay gap in 2010, when after presenting Woman's Hour she realised her pay for the show was "40% lower" than similar programmes. "We are the high earners, that's why we are on the list, but don't tell me that isn't reflected all the way down [the BBC]," she told the programme. "It is right through and that's where I think we have got to stand up as the ones who are on the list and say 'hang on, enough, we can help you with this'." Education Secretary Ms Greening, who is also responsible for women and equalities, told Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday it was "impossible not to be shocked" by the BBC gender pay gap. She said it was a "reputational issue" for the BBC, adding that it was "very hard to justify" some of the pay discrepancies. Labour leader Mr Corbyn told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show he would be happy to sign the letter, saying the BBC "needs to look at itself". But he said problem was broader than just the BBC and discrimination remained a "serious" issue in the UK. Marr, who is paid between £400,000 and £449,999 a year by the BBC, said if he was a woman he would have been removed from the TV "10 years ago". "There's a real lack of older women on the screen," the 57-year-old said. Responding to the letter, Lord Hall said there would be a "wider consultation" over the next two months to address the issue and that he would value the contributions of those who signed the letter. "When figures are published next year I am confident they will look very different. "When other organisations publish their gender pay data by next April, I want the BBC to be one of the best performers when comparisons are made. "But beyond that, over the next three years I want the BBC to be regarded as an exemplar on gender and diversity." The Devon side, second in the Premiership, stumbled to a bonus-point win over Sale on Saturday. "I'm kind of pleased that it should be a bit of a kick in the backside, but without us losing any points," he said. "We haven't had a weekend off since the very first week of the season now, for 30 weekends." As well as their 18 league games, Baxter's side have competed in the European Champions Cup this term and reached the Anglo-Welsh Cup final. Leicester are the only other Premiership side not to have had a spare week all season. "We need a bit of time just relaxing and enjoying ourselves because, although we've had some good results, have the lads really been able to celebrate them? Probably not," Baxter added to BBC Radio Devon. "Now they genuinely can, and then we can move on. "If we're not prepared to set ourselves some higher standards [than the Sale match], we're going to have some tough games up ahead." The boy suffered a broken wrist when he fell onto the M49, near Bristol. Driver Tudor West and coach owner Keith Jones, both of Bridgend, deny charges relating to dangerous driving after the teenager - part of a rugby team - was injured, on 16 May last year. Mr West told Bristol Crown Court he had asked the team to wear seatbelts but they "had not put them on". The court was told the bus had passed its MOT a month before the incident, but as part of the accident investigation it was inspected and "nine defects were identified". During the hearing, the jury was played a video showing an inspector pushing the coach door "lightly with his hand" before it opened. But in the court, Mr West acted out his "normal morning routine" on the stand. He showed the jury how, on the day of the accident, he had opened and closed the emergency rear exit and had then put all of his weight against it. When asked how he thought the door had opened, allowing the the 13-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to fall onto the motorway, Mr West said: "I don't know, all I know is that it wouldn't have happened on that morning." Tudor West denies dangerous driving and driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition. Coach company owner Keith Jones denies permitting the driving of a vehicle in a dangerous condition, and aiding and abetting dangerous driving. The trial continues.

8 February 2016 Last updated at 12:58 GMT Jonathan Baggaley works at The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) and he's given Newsround his tips. Former Manchester United manager Moyes, 51, remonstrated with officials over an offside decision and was ordered from the touchline in the Copa del Rey exit. He had to scale a pitch-side fence and once he found a seat, he accepted the offer of a crisp from a spectator. Sociedad, 12th in La Liga, host Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Moyes has been banned by the Spanish Football Federation for one match for his dismissal by referee Carlos Velasco Carballo and one for climbing into the stands. "I shouldn't have argued with the referee but I thought both of the decisions were incorrect," Moyes said earlier on Friday. "But I left the dugout and I went to watch the game in the stands. I am a football supporter as well and I wanted to watch the game with the supporters. "I've been a supporter all my life. I go to a lot of football games and I thought the supporters were very good." Uncovered in 2014, the pre-historic footprints of children and adults at Port Eynon on Gower were initially thought to date to the Bronze Age. But radiocarbon dating by Cardiff University has revealed they are 3,000 years older than that. Archaeology PhD student Rhiannon Philp said they could belong to a Mesolithic hunting party. Ms Philp, a student in the university's School of History, Archaeology and Religion, said: "These 'frozen' footprints made in freshwater marshland give us a fleeting glance of a group of adults and children travelling together seven millennia ago. "But the picture is even more precise. Wild animal tracks suggest deer and wild boar moving in the same direction. "What we might be witnessing 7,000 years later is a snapshot moment of a Mesolithic hunting party tracking their prey through an open, boggy landscape now lost to the waves." A spokeswoman for the university said post-Ice Age human footprints were rare in the UK, with only nine recorded tidal sites - the majority of which are in Wales. Ms Philp added: "Given the fragility of these examples and climate change now and then, it is incredibly important to obtain as much information as possible whenever the opportunity arises." It issued yellow "be aware" rain warnings for much of Wales, saying isolated thunderstorms may develop in the evening. The Met Office said storms could be severe with torrential downpours and hail a possibility. But it said there was "large uncertainty" over the areas at risk and many will remain dry. The forecaster said there will be a "fresher start than recently" on Friday morning, with plenty of sunshine across Wales. It will turn cloudier later in the day and become increasingly warm and humid, with maximum temperatures up to 26C (79F). Thundery rain will then move north overnight, the Met Office said. Conditions could cause "very localised significant disruption", added forecasters. Rotem Bides visited the former Nazi German camp in Poland several times and removed items, including a sign forbidding people from taking anything. She told an Israeli newspaper she had acted out of concern that the Holocaust would over time "turn into a myth". The Auschwitz-Birkenau museum said the student's actions were "outrageous". The museum also demanded the objects' return. More than a million people, mostly Jews, were killed at Auschwitz during World War Two. The objects from Auschwitz, which also include shards of glass, small bowls, a metal screw and soil, formed part of the 27-year-old's final project in Jerusalem, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported. Ms Bides told the newspaper she felt it was "something I had to do". "Millions of people were murdered based on the moral laws of a certain country, under a certain regime," she told the newspaper. "And if these are the laws, I can go there and act according to my own laws. "I'm not saying I'm allowed to do it because my grandfather was in Auschwitz. I'm simply asking the questions. I'm concerned that after all the survivors are gone, the Holocaust will turn into a myth, something that cannot be perceived." Ms Vides' supervisor at Beit Berl College, the Israeli artist Michal Na'aman, told the newspaper she "did not see anything wrong with it". "The way I see it, she succeeds in creating a unique encounter between art and an event that has passed and has been wrapped in a lot of words, symbols and representations," Ms Na'aman said. "It's hard to imagine theft being justified in any way, even through art, which can be seen as an attempt to gain publicity," the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum said in a statement. Items have been stolen from Auschwitz in the past. In 2011, an Israeli local government official picked up several items that were lying on the ground next to a display cabinet - but they were discovered by officials at Krakow airport. Moti Posloshani, the son of Holocaust survivors, later told Yedioth Ahronoth that he had wanted to "safeguard" the objects and perhaps hand them to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem. And in 2009 the infamous "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work makes you free" in German) sign over the entrance to Auschwitz was stolen by thieves - but recovered shortly afterwards. The US broadcaster behind channels such as Eurosport and TLC had threatened to remove its channels from Sky on 31 January after a dispute over fees. Discovery said the new agreement would keep its programmes on Sky for "years to come". Sky's UK chief Stephen van Rooyen said the deal was concluded on the "right terms". No financial details of the agreement have been released by either company. Many channels pay thousands of pounds to appear on Sky's platform. However, Sky also pays some channel providers to include their content in subscription packages. Discovery had claimed Sky did not pay a "fair price" for its channels - but Sky said Discovery's threat to remove the channels was about "commercial self-interest". Announcing the agreement, Mr Van Rooyen said: "The deal has been concluded on the right terms after Discovery accepted the proposal we gave them over a week ago." A spokesman for Discovery said the deal was "meaningfully better than our former agreement and their proposal". He said: "Our new arrangement enables us to control our destiny in more ways, with even more opportunities to invest and launch channels and consumer services." Tim Westcott, senior principal analyst in TV programming at IHS Markit said Sky was probably looking for ways to save money when renegotiating channel carriage deals, as it copes with large rises in sports rights costs. "Sky is trying to control its operating costs. One way of doing that is to cut back on what it pays channel providers," said Mr Westcott. Discovery's portfolio in the UK includes Discovery Channel, Eurosport, TLC, Animal Planet and DMAX. Its channels are also available on other services such as Virgin Media. Sky also announced a new deal with PBS America that will bring the US broadcaster's factual programming to Sky, covering history, science, current affairs, arts and culture. He will now perform at the city's Principality Stadium from 21 to 24 June, more dates than any other music act has played at the venue. The Galway Girl singer also announced extra dates in Manchester, Glasgow and Newcastle. The 26-year-old tweeted: "More UK stadiums announced, this is bonkers x". The new tickets - including the 21 June Thursday night date in Cardiff - go on sale on Tuesday, when he is also due to announce extra dates for his 2018 Europe-wide tour. The singer's big trip will kick off in Cork in Ireland, on 4 May and will travel through Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Germany and Austria before finishing up in Poland next August. Tickets for all the UK shows were initially snapped up within a day after they went on sale on Saturday. Problems with a new referral system means some GPs' requests for hospital consultations in Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Goole have not been recorded. The NHS trust is asking patients who have been referred by their doctors between January and October 2016 to contact them. An investigation has been launched. More on this and other northern Lincolnshire stories The interim Chief Executive of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) has admitted it kept news of missing referral data quiet as they tried to find an administrative solution. Councillor Holly Mumby-Croft, of North Lincolnshire Council's Scrutiny Committee, said: "I took the decision to invoke legislation to require the chief executive of NLAG and the chief officer of the clinical commissioning group to attend scrutiny because I was sufficiently concerned that this needed to be discussed." Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) said it had started a new centralised referral unit in October. After complaints it reviewed the system and found that 111 patients were missing their appointments, leading the trust to believe more people could have been omitted. The trust's interim chief executive, Richard Sunley, said: "We are currently carrying out reviews and checks of all of our waiting lists. "As part of this work we believe there may be patients who were referred before the new central referral team was put in place, who have not been added to our waiting lists." Indian artist and activist Jasmeen Patheja always wanted to be a photographer. So years ago, when her grandmother Inderjit Kaur said she wished she had been an actor, the two decided to fulfil each other's dreams. And the result of their collaboration is "Indri and I" - a stunning portfolio of images that shows the 85-year-old dressed in fantastic costumes. "I can't really put a date on when the project began. It possibly started when I was just three years old," Ms Patheja told the BBC. She remembers the hot summer days of her childhood spent in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) when she would come back home from school. "We lived in a large joint family. My granny never took an afternoon nap, so I grew up playing with her, her directing me. I grew up hearing how she could have been a doctor, a nurse, a school teacher or even the prime minister. And every afternoon, I would become one of these characters," Ms Patheja says, adding that "daydreaming was encouraged and facilitated". Mrs Kaur was a housewife, her education interrupted by the uncertainties of World War Two. Born in Burma (now Myanmar), she escaped with her family to Lahore in what is now Pakistan at the age of nine when Japan attacked British-ruled India. It was six years before the family could return home. "At times she would say, 'I wish I had studied more.' She had this regret, a sense of missed opportunity about not having studied. But she made up for it because she was very curious and deeply engaging." Also, she enjoyed being photographed and was "a real natural" in front of the camera, Ms Patheja says. "So a few years ago, one day when she said, 'I wish I had been an actor', I said to her, 'Ok, you act and I will take photographs'." And thus was born "Indri, the actor". Together, they started creating characters for photo shoots that Indri had always dreamt of becoming. "Indri the actor started taking risks in the way she was dressing up, with the way she was putting up her hair, with her make-up," Ms Patheja says, adding that, "one thing I was always clear about - 'I didn't want to 'cuteify' her." Over the years, she saw her granny transform into a politician, a princess, a fairy, a scientist, and a dozen other characters. Ms Patheja says the first image for the collection was taken sometime in 2004 or 2005 and after thousands of photographs, it's "still a work in progress". The images, at one level, are very personal, on the relationship between a grandmother and a granddaughter, two women who wanted to be part of each other's journey. But at the same time, they are a commentary on ageing and desire, challenging and raising questions on the invisibility of the elderly. "Every one is growing old, ageing is an inevitability. But the issue is between being old and invisible versus being old and having agency," Ms Patheja explains. "We need to think about ageing and its future, our future, to look forward to it. Our bodies will change and we will become vulnerable through age. So we as societies, need to move towards building, demanding, envisioning, inclusive spaces, environments that enable our changing bodies, instead of forcing us to be invisible." The response to the project, she says, has been "pretty amazing". "Since the time I published this piece in early April, lots of women, especially elderly women, have written to me, praising the project. It has also been appreciated by women who are close to their grannies or granddaughters." I ask Ms Patheja if there's a finish date for the project? "It will go on as long as she wants to pose; and as long as I want to take photographs." Inverness Caledonian Thistle face Falkirk in their historic game at Hampden in Glasgow on Saturday. Caley Jags supporters have been uploading pictures to Twitter of a dog called Harris and a puppet in their team's colours. Another fan, clad all in blue, tweeted his support from a city roundabout. The countdown to the Hampden final has already seen statues in the city draped with Caley Thistle scarves. Supporters' colourful efforts come amid hopes within the team that reaching the final will attract new followers. The average attendance at Caledonian Stadium has been 3,700 during a season when the team finished a best-ever third in the Scottish Premiership. Manager John Hughes told BBC Sport Scotland: "We had an open day the other day for the schoolkids and it was great to see them all in Inverness strips. I never saw any Celtic or Rangers strips. "If we can give them pride in Inverness and get all these schoolkids to go and support their local team then we are certainly playing our part." Caley Thistle was formed as the result of a 1994 amalgamation of Caledonian and Inverness Thistle that is still opposed by some elements of their former supporters. They disappeared in the town of Iguala in Guerrero state. She confirmed the identification of Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz, found in a rubbish dump outside the city. Austrian forensic officials have been carrying out tests. The remains of another student Alexander Mora Venancio were identified last December. The group disappeared in September last year when they were on their way to take part in a demonstration. Relatives of the students have questioned the account of the Mexican authorities who said corrupt local police handed over the students to a local drugs gang who killed them and burnt the bodies. Earlier this month an independent investigation rejected the government's account of events. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights says it has found no evidence to support claims that the bodies were incinerated. The Mexican government said it would send forensic experts to the area. Relatives have always rejected the official investigation. They accused the authorities of covering up the alleged involvement of high-ranking officials and possibly the army in the killings. The case shocked Mexico and led to weeks of protests against official impunity and the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto. Next week's final takes place in Ghent. The city is 35 miles from Molenbeek, the focus of a manhunt for one of the suspects involved in the Paris attacks. "I don't want to live in fear each time I step on a court," said Murray, 28, who has been named in the provisional five-man squad for the tie. Tuesday's football friendly with Spain in Brussels has already been cancelled. Belgium's government has raised the terror threat level to three in the country, and the International Tennis Federation said in a statement on Monday it was "continuing with preparations" for the Davis Cup final "with the emphasis on security operations". Meanwhile, the Lawn Tennis Association, British tennis' governing body, said: "The LTA is in regular dialogue with the ITF on event security relating to the Davis Cup final. We are also taking advice from the Foreign Office and will continue to closely monitor the situation. "The safety of everyone in the British contingent, including our players and fans, remains our number one priority." Aside from British number one Murray, James Ward, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot are also on the provisional list for Great Britain's final against Belgium, which will take place from 27 to 29 November. GB captain Leon Smith no longer has the option of bringing in British number two Aljaz Bedene. The 26-year-old's appeal in Prague has been adjourned until next year, so he is ineligible. Bedene played in the Davis Cup for Slovenia three times before gaining UK citizenship in March, but a Davis Cup rule change prevents players representing a second country. Bedene is appealing on the grounds his passport application was lodged before the rule changed at the start of 2015. Smith will name his final four at the draw in Ghent on the eve of next week's final. Mr Gandhi has taken a leave of absence from parliament to focus on party work, reports say. The government is set to present the new financial year's budget on 28 February in the parliament, and papers say it is very unusual for the vice-president of the main opposition leader to miss it. Mr Gandhi's party suffered an embarrassing defeat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party in last year's general elections. With less than 50 seats in the parliament, observers say the party faces a threat of extinction if top leaders do not get their act together. "Now, nine months into the Modi government's tenure and during a crucial budget session that is divided on the land acquisition bill - one of the few issues Rahul Gandhi cared to speak about in parliament - his absence provides more mirth than answers," The Times of India says. The paper warns that Mr Gandhi "ought to see his own and his mother's (Congress president Sonia Gandhi) hand behind his party's misfortunes". The paper further hints that the Gandhi family needs to stop dynastic politics for the party's sake. "Sonia must anoint a successor or call for open elections in which the family does not take part. Congress held on to the Gandhis so far because they got votes and prevented the party from splitting," the paper says. Calling Mr Gandhi "a reluctant leader", the Deccan Herald says it is "odd that he wants to take time off when the "party most needs a sense of purpose and direction". The paper says Mr Gandhi's reason for the sabbatical that he wants to reflect on the party's future is "not convincing". "If Rahul wants to get rid of the old guard and shape the party to his wishes, he should be working for it within the party. If the getaway is a tantrum, it only shows inability to address the party's ills and a failure of leadership," the paper adds. The Hindu suggests that Mr Gandhi will miss out on an opportunity to make a comeback by going on leave. "Rahul Gandhi could not have chosen a worse moment for self-introspection, coinciding as it does with a parliamentary budget session," it says.

The 22-year-old played two first-class and seven T20 matches in 2016, having signed a professional deal in June. Walter, who took the new ball in the latter stages of the T20 Blast, has taken eight wickets across all formats. "It has always been a dream of mine to play for Essex," Basildon-born Walter told the club website. "I haven't been part of the staff for long, so the opportunity to do that for a further year was something I jumped at." L'Oreal said that Natura had made a "firm" offer valuing the company at 1bn euros (£880m). Earlier this year, L'Oreal said it was reviewing its strategy for the chain, which it bought for £652m in 2006. The Body Shop was set up by Anita Roddick who promoted ethical beauty products. But in recent years it has suffered from increased competition from newcomers also offering products based on natural ingredients and no animal testing. L'Oreal chairman and chief executive, Jean-Paul Agon said: "I am very pleased to announce Natura as the potential new "home" for the Body Shop. "It is the best new owner we could imagine to nurture the brand DNA around naturality and ethics." The chairman and chief executive of the Body Shop, Jeremy Schwartz said the ethical values and expertise of Natura made it 'the perfect new owner' of The Body Shop and would help it to rejuvenate the brand. Private equity group CVC and China's Fosun also made bids for the struggling business. Last year, the Body Shop's sales fell 4.8% and its profit margin dropped to 3.7%, far below the double-digit margins achieved by L'Oreal's other brands. Natura Cosmeticos is at the forefront of the Brazilian beauty market and operates in seven South American countries and France. The avian influenza subtype H5N8 was discovered in a bird in County Wexford. The wild duck, a wigeon, was found alive, but unable to fly in Wexford Town on Wednesday, Irish state broadcaster RTÉ reports. The Health Protection Surveillance Centre said the H5N8 subtype can cause serious disease in poultry and other birds, but no human infections with this virus have been reported. The Department of Agriculture and Food said the finding is not unexpected given the detection of highly contagious H5N8 in wild birds in Britain. The discovery comes a week after the Minister for Agriculture, Michael Creed, introduced regulations under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 requiring the compulsory housing of poultry as a result of the increased threat, said the Department in a statement. "Further tests are being carried out to determine whether the virus is the same highly pathogenic strain that is currently present in Britain and mainland Europe. "The results of these tests will not be available until the middle of next week,." The Department said flock owners should remain vigilant for any signs of disease in their birds, and to report any disease suspicion to their nearest Department Veterinary Office. London-based property investment firm Tristan Capital Partners and the Newry-based Lotus Group have acquired Junction One and The Outlet. They were bought for more than £40m. "Now that The Outlet and Junction One are both under single ownership there is a significant opportunity for us to enhance and differentiate the sites," said Alastair Coulson from the Lotus Group. "There will be a period of substantial investment to reinvigorate the schemes. "We will be enhancing both destinations and providing additional and more diverse brands. "Our strategy will direct The Outlet towards a mid-premium market position and differentiate this from Junction One, with a mid-value convenience position within the market." Peter Mather, managing director at Tristan Capital Partners, said: "This deal represents a unique opportunity to bring together two outlet centres currently under separate ownership for the first time. "Combined, these centres account for the vast majority of the outlet market in Northern Ireland, with both sites already housing a broad range of national and international occupiers, including strong anchor tenants." The Outlet opened on the outskirts of Banbridge in County Down in 2007, but was effectively taken over by Ulster Bank in 2011. Junction One opened near Antrim in 2004 with Ulster Bank also lending the money for that development. The bank lent the firm that developed it about £48m, but its value collapsed to under £10m in the crash. The Outlet, which cost more than £70m to develop, struggled to fill all its units. Tristan already owns Bloomfield in Bangor and Erneside in Enniskillen in partnership with Ellandi. The Rams had been vying with the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders for the chance to move to LA. The Chargers could still join the Rams in the city, which has been without an NFL franchise for 21 years, but the Raiders face an uncertain future. Rams owner Stan Kroenke called it a "bitter sweet" moment and said it had been the "most difficult process of my professional career". Kroenke, who is also the majority shareholder at Premier League football club Arsenal, added: "Reaching two Super Bowls and winning one are things all St Louisans should always treasure." NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called relocation a "painful process" after owners voted 30-2 in favour of the Rams, who must pay the NFL a £311m ($550m) relocation fee. The move has angered Rams fans and Missouri governor Jay Nixon. He said the move set "a terrible precedent" not only for St Louis but for all communities that have "loyally supported" NFL franchises. Nixon added that there would be a thorough review of the NFL's decision before determining what next steps to take. The Rams have played in LA before, first moving there from Cleveland in 1946. They left for Anaheim in 1980, before moving to St Louis in 1995. They are the only franchise to claim three NFL championships in three different cities, winning Super Bowl XXXIV in the 1999 season. The Rams will play their home games at the LA Coliseum until their £1.29bn ($1.86bn) stadium in Inglewood is complete. Should fans in St Louis want to continue supporting the Rams, they face a trip of around 1,800 miles. That is a car drive of approximately 27 hours or a flight of about three-and-a-half hours in duration. NFL fans in the city have now lost two franchises after the Cardinals moved to Phoenix in 1988. St Louis mayor Francis Slay said the NFL had "ignored" the loyalty of St Louis fans, who "supported the team through far more downs than ups". He also said that the NFL had "ignored" the facts, a strong market and viable plan for a new £706m ($1.1bn) stadium on the river front. "It is just a slap in the face for the city," said Rams fan Jermaine Chambers, who pointed the finger of blame at Kroenke. "Even though things might not have gone the way he wanted them to, he created the relationship with the city so it is kind of his fault. "Beyond that, he still made money here. To dump on the city, to dump on the people and the community I just think it was classless." Los Angeles had been without an NFL franchise since the Raiders and Rams left the region in 1995. The move is expected to bring greater revenue from naming rights, TV and future hosting of the Super Bowl. But there are no guarantees that LA can ultimately support two NFL teams in a city saturated with sports and entertainment options. The Los Angeles metropolitan area already has: 2 NBA teams: Lakers and Clippers; 2 NHL teams: Kings and Anaheim Ducks; 2 MLB teams: Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim; And 1 MLS team: Galaxy (with Los Angeles FC starting in 2017). Oakland are uncertain which city they will call home in 2016 after the failure of their bid, according to owner Mark Davis. The franchise's lease at Oakland Coliseum, where they have played since moving north from Los Angeles in 1995, has expired and the city has not expressed willingness to contribute public money for a new stadium. "I don't know where we'll be," said Davis. "We're trying to figure that out. We made a commitment to try to get to Los Angeles." Davis ruled out moving the Raiders to St Louis to fill the void left by the Rams, but said all other options would be considered, including a move to San Diego should the Chargers vacate the city. "America, the world, is a possibility for the Raider nation," he said. 11 April 2017 Last updated at 06:51 BST The Jorvik Viking Centre in York, England, was flooded in December 2015. But after 16 months of hard work and a £4 million makeover, the centre has swung open its doors for new visitors. Watch Ricky's report to see what it's like now, and for a few smelly surprises too! Romelu Lukaku put Everton ahead, heading home from close range for his seventh Premier League goal against the Hammers. Everton improved as the match progressed and Ross Barkley, under scrutiny this season for some inconsistent performances, capped a fine display with a half-volley that secured the points for the hosts. West Ham, who had been unbeaten in October, had chances and were the better side in the first half but were left to rue Angelo Ogbonna's miss, which could have given the visitors the lead. Despite their recent revival - the Hammers were aiming for a third consecutive league victory - Slaven Bilic's men remain just three points above the relegation places as they continue to pay the price for four straight losses at the start of the season. Before the game, Everton manager Ronald Koeman said his offensive players had to improve and provide greater support to top scorer Lukaku. The Dutchman knows his team's weakness, but there were signs in this match that £25m summer signing Yannick Bolasie and Barkley especially can become the consistent threats he craves. The Toffees' attackers made little impression in the first half and the hosts had just one shot on target - a rasping, deflected Barkley effort which was saved fabulously by Adrian. But Everton were more adventurous after the break, with Lukaku, Bolasie and Barkley the bright lights as they put West Ham on the back foot. Winger Bolasie, criticised for not making an impact since his move from Crystal Palace, was key to the opener. Adrian could only push Seamus Coleman's low drive a few yards away from goal and it was the DR Congo international who reacted quickest to scoop the ball across for Lukaku, who headed home unchallenged from close range. Barkley, who has been dropped this season, became a greater influence in the second half and the midfielder made a difficult finish look easy for Everton's second. West Ham began with the confidence of a team who have collected seven points from their past three league games and progressed to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. In the first half, Dimitri Payet was the game's creative force and the French playmaker was supported by the lively Manuel Lanzini, with Michail Antonio adding muscle up front. Payet was involved in the moves that led to six of West Ham's seven shots in the opening 45 minutes and Ogbonna squandered a wonderful opportunity to put his team ahead after being put through by the 29-year-old. Media playback is not supported on this device In terms of statistics, there was not much to separate the teams - Everton had 49.1% of possession and West Ham made just 12 passes more than their rivals. But Bilic's men were lacklustre after the break and failed to make the most of the opportunities they did create. Antonio failed to capitalise on a series of mistakes by Ashley Williams, while Joel Robles saved a Mark Noble effort that was heading into the net and a brilliant tackle by Bryan Oviedo was enough to put off Andre Ayew in front of goal. Everton boss Ronald Koeman: "It's a good win - a deserved win. "We played well in the second half. Maybe the first half was not what we expect if we play at home. Maybe because of the last few results we didn't have belief and confidence, and that was the difference between the first and second half." Koeman on Barkley: "That's how he needs to play. He worked very hard, he was running, and that's what you need to do. He had some shots on target, scored the second goal, and that's what we want to see from midfield." Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "While you are always not happy after a defeat, I am more disappointed because we could have taken something from this game. "I'm not saying that they didn't deserve it, because they were more mature, but we should have done better. "They were more lethal and more cruel when they were offered something from us. We didn't capitalise on our chances." Everton, sixth in the table, will play Chelsea in the league on 5 November, while West Ham host fellow strugglers Stoke on the same day.

Ingram, 31, did not play Championship cricket for Glamorgan in 2016 because of the injury, suffered in the warm-up for the opening game of the season. The left-hander was Glamorgan's player of the year in limited-overs cricket despite an injury-hit season. He was out for just four in the Warriors' T20 victory over Dolphins. The former Somerset left-hand batsman is not scheduled to play any four day cricket until January 2017, with the South African fixture list concentrating on limited-overs games until then. Ingram said before the operation that he hoped to play the longer format of the game again in both the UK and South Africa. The price of oil, which has soared this week, steadied throughout Wednesday afternoon. Europe's share markets have fallen, yet US markets opened flat, with the dollar gaining alongside other haven currencies. The price of gold also climbed, as risk-averse investors looked for traditionally safe investments. Shares in airlines dropped on the looming threat of higher fuel costs. Earlier on Wednesday Brent crude oil had hit a six-month high above $117 a barrel, although the price then fell back. US crude oil touched its highest price since May 2011, rising to $110.17 a barrel, before also coming off its peak. International Airlines Group, the owner of British Airways, saw its share price fall 4.49%, while Easyjet's share price dropped by more than 1.78%. Syria itself is not a major oil producer, but analysts said that the prospect of further instability in the Middle East was worrying investors. Nick McGregor, oil analyst at Redmayne Bentley Stockbrokers, said: "Until it is clear how the politics is going to play out, the markets won't have any certainty." He added that fears about international military involvement in Syria sparking trouble in the Middle East would affect pricing across all oil markets. Mr McGregor said that markets would remain shaky, and added, "we are in for a period of higher volatility certainly, and more likely than not higher prices". European share markets were all lower. The UK's FTSE 100 was down 0.17%, Germany's Dax index dropped 1.03% and the Cac 40 in Paris fell 0.21%. However, in the US the Dow Jones rose 60 points to 14835.69. On the foreign exchange markets, currencies traditionally viewed as riskier continued to fall, while the dollar saw some gains. The US dollar, along with the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc are considered to be more attractive for investors during uncertain times. Ilya Spivak, currency strategist at DailyFX, said: "Turmoil in Syria continues to offer a worrisome backdrop to price action." Investors buying into gold, regarded as a haven investment in times of uncertainty, pushed the price of the precious metal to a three-month high. Spot gold hit its highest price since May early on Wednesday, at $1,433.3 an ounce. Speaking at the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 premiere, the actress, who plays Gamora, talked about the involvement of Guardians stars in the Avengers films. Asked about the third Avengers film on Monday, she said: "I think the Guardians just shot their part when it comes to Infinity War. "And we all have to go back for Gauntlet later this year." But later on Tuesday, James Gunn, writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, denied Saldana had given the game away. According to Yahoo Movies journalist Tom Butler, Gunn said Gauntlet was not the title. The Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy are all part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So far they have appeared in separate films, but will join forces in the next two Avengers films. Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel, which we which now know could well be called Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet or perhaps just plain Avengers: Gauntlet. Over the weekend, Cinemablend revealed that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was not going to reveal the name of the fourth film because the name could be a spoiler for Avengers: Infinity War. The infinity gauntlet is a glove specially made to hold infinity stones, including the power stone, the space stone, the reality stone, the mind stone, the time stone and the soul stone. When all the stones are held by the infinity gauntlet, it gives the wearer the powers of a god. The Infinity Gauntlet was a six-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics from July to December in 1991. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is out on Friday in the UK, and next month in the US. Avengers: Infinity War is due out in 2018, with the follow up slated for release in 2019.

The Spitfires made a strong start but were unable to make it count with Bondz N'Gala among those to see good chances saved by Michael Poke. Gozie Ugwu punished the hosts for their early profligacy, nodding home Dennon Lewis' cross from close range in the 16th minute to notch his 12th goal of the season. Garry Hill's side, who beat Torquay last time out, went down to 10 men when Lewis saw red for a second yellow in the 68th minute, but they came through a nervy finish unscathed as Eastleigh pushed for a late winner. Woking are now up to 19th, two places and a point above the relegation zone. Report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Eastleigh 0, Woking 1. Second Half ends, Eastleigh 0, Woking 1.

Constable Niran Jeyanesan told CP24 that Walmart staff apprehended an 18-year-old for attempting to steal a dress shirt, tie and socks. He said when he arrived at the scene he realised the offender had been stealing the items for a job interview. He then decided to release him and purchase the items for him. "This young person has been facing his own difficulties in life and he was looking to straighten out all that by providing for his family and trying to get a job," Mr Jeyanesan said. "This individual didn't have any resources. "He wanted to go get that job. That was in his mind. I think he truly made a mistake." Speaking to the BBC, his staff sergeant Paul Bois praised Mr Jeyanesan's actions. "Arresting him wouldn't have been in the best interests of anyone," he said. "I reacted very positively to the news; all issues were resolved by the action the officer took. "It reiterates our goal of being positive role models in the community." Cambridgeshire Police were called at 01:45 GMT to the jail following reports of violence. A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A police investigation is under way at the category B prison, which is run by Sodexo and has both male and female inmates. The arrested man is currently in custody at Thorpe Wood police station. A Sodexo Justice Services spokesman said: "The next of kin have been informed and our thoughts are with the family. "It would be inappropriate to comment further while the police investigation is under way." Read more on this story and other news from across Cambridgeshire HMP Peterborough is the only prison in the country to have men and women kept separately but on the same site, with the same senior management team and some staff moving between the two prisons. The male side of the prison, which has space for 874 inmates, was inspected by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons in February. It was described as "an impressive local prison with a positive staff culture" and praised for its excellent and innovative work to resettle prisoners. It was criticised for having "too many men still locked up during the middle of the working day". His base salary will fall from £1,250,000 to £750,000, and he will also see cuts in incentive payments. Chief executive Richard Pennycook says the business is now back "in calmer waters" and the reduction reflects the revised demands of the current job. He said the pay cut was "by no means the main news", which was the Co-op's recovery. For that, he credited his 70,000 colleagues' "dedication". Mr Pennycook was finance director of the group, but took over as chief executive in 2014 when the former boss, Euan Sutherland, resigned after 10 months in the job. His total pay package - including salary and bonuses - was reported to be £3m. Should you ever ask for a pay cut? The Co-op is undergoing a three-year plan to steady the business after deep problems emerged in 2013 with its bank, which it has since largely sold off. The news on Mr Pennycook's pay came as the Co-operative Group - which includes 2,800 food stores, 1,000 funeral homes and financial services - reported its financial results for 2015. Profit was £23m for the year, down from £124m last year, when the figure was boosted by a one-off gain of £121m from selling parts of its business. Underlying profit before tax was £81m, up from £73m last year. The Co-op said it had made progress, with sales at both its food and funeral home businesses growing. Sales in its 2,800 food stores grew 1.6%, to give a £250m profit. The Co-op said its convenience stores were outperforming the UK grocery market, because people's shopping habits were changing as they made more frequent trips to buy food. Earlier this week, grocery research firm Kantar reported that the Co-op's sales had risen at their fastest rate since it bought rival Somerfield in 2009, climbing by 3.9%. At its funeral homes business, which is the largest chain in the country, profits were £78m and sales rose by 9.9%. It plans to open another 200 funeral homes in the next three years, which will increase the size of its estate to more than 1,100 homes. In 2013, the Co-op was rocked by the discovery of a £1.5bn hole in the Co-op Bank's finances. The bank was rescued by a group of investors and the Co-op Group now owns a 20% stake in the bank. Last week, the Co-op Bank reported that its annual pre-tax losses had more than doubled to £610m, from £264m in 2014. The problems at the Co-op Group led to a review of the business by Lord Myners. This led to the number of board members being cut drastically, while directors now need to have qualifications suited to running the business. Media playback is not supported on this device Hackers Fancy Bears this week released athletes' stolen TUE medical files. Asked if the files raised concerns, Dr Richard McLaren said: "Probably, yes. It would depend which sport." British Olympic champions Laura Trott and Nicola Adams had files released on Friday, although there is no suggestion they are involved in any wrongdoing. UK Anti-Doping chief executive, Nicole Sapstead said: "We absolutely condemn the latest release of personal information. "The use of TUEs is not a doping offence, and all of these athletes have legitimately applied for, and been granted, medical support within the anti-doping rules." Russia president Vladimir Putin said that he "did not support what the hackers have been doing", but suggested the leaks "raised many questions". His comments came after International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said he will ask Moscow for help to stop the hackers, who the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) believes are linked to Russia. The records released mostly detail TUEs, which allow banned substances to be taken for athletes' verified medical needs. Canadian law professor and sports lawyer McLaren told BBC World Service: "One would have to conduct investigations on specific sports as to whether or not too many TUEs are being used with respect to particular substances. "One of the common TUEs is for ADHD medication - there may be abuse there. "That's one area that probably needs to be looked at - how frequently are [certain medicines] being used in particular sports? Methylphenidate, for example, is a stimulant that helps improve brain function in people with ADHD, but it could also help improve an athlete's performance and is only allowed to be used by elite performers with medical approval. McLaren also questioned the IOC response to his Russian state-sponsored doping investigation, which is believed to have prompted the hackers to break into Wada's systems and release the athletes' files. He said the IOC downplayed the findings of his report, which concluded that Russia's sports ministry "directed, controlled and oversaw" manipulation of urine samples provided by its athletes between 2011 and 2015. The IOC imposed a partial ban on Russian athletes competing in the 2016 Olympics, in contrast to the International Paralympic Committee, which imposed a blanket ban on Russian participation at the Paralympics. "The IOC turned it into an issue about individuals," he said. "The report looked at individuals not because they had committed doping infractions, but [to ascertain] whether they were part of a system that was operated outside of their national governing body, and was being run by the state." He said he was "confident" the report found sufficient proof of Russian state-sponsored doping, "beyond a reasonable doubt". "They were not interim conclusions," he added. "They were final conclusions, and not allegations, as was suggested by various organisations including the IOC. "The decision by the IOC [to impose a ban only on individual Russian athletes guilty of doping offences in the past] turned that on its head and turned it into an issue about individuals and their rights to compete, which was nothing to do with the report." A TUE allows an athlete, for medical reasons, to take a prescribed substance or undergo treatment which is prohibited. British athletes must contact their national governing body or follow UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) guidance before applying for a TUE. There are strict criteria for one to be granted: Ukad says it has "a number of robust controls in place to make it as difficult as possible" for athletes to misuse the system. Three-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome and five-time Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins were among five British athletes to have their files released earlier this week. The medical files of golfer Charley Hull, rugby sevens player Heather Fisher and rower Sam Townsend were also made public. Froome, 31, said he had already made public his use of TUEs. Froome twice took the steroid prednisolone for "exacerbated asthma" while Wiggins used salbutamol to treat chest conditions and asthma. Medical details for swimmer Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and rower Olivia Carnegie-Brown, who both won silver medals for Team GB in Rio, were published along with Trott and Adams on Friday. Four-time Olympic cycling champion Trott had TUEs for salmeterol and salbutamol, which are used in the treatment of asthma and expired on 31 July, 2013. Her spokesman said: "It's well known that Laura has suffered from asthma from an early age and inhalers are part of most asthmatics' lives. "It's disappointing that her medical records have been put on the internet but asthma is something she's always been happy to discuss." Wada director general Olivier Niggli has strongly criticised the leak. Media playback is not supported on this device British number four Evans, 26, dropped to 58th in Monday's latest standings, two places below Slovenia-born Bedene. Bedene, 27, moved to the UK in 2008 and switched nationality in March 2015. "I don't think he really believes he's British either," said Evans after losing in the Madrid Open first round to Robin Haase on Monday. "It's nothing against Aljaz. I like him, he's not confrontational in any way - but to me it doesn't sit well if you play for another country. "I don't feel bad about him, but for me it's a bit baffling as to why." The BBC has contacted Bedene for his response to Evans' comments. It is not the first time Evans has spoken out against Bedene's switch, with the player previously saying - before the change of allegiance was confirmed - Bedene should not be allowed to represent Britain in the Davis Cup. International Tennis Federation rules do not allow players to represent more than one country in the Davis Cup. Bedene, who has represented Slovenia in three ties, had an attempt to overturn his ban and play for Britain rejected by an arbitration hearing in March. Evans went out early in Madrid after losing 7-5 6-2 against Dutchman Haase, who is ranked 13 places higher at 45th in the world. Evans lost his serve in the opening game, breaking back for 5-5 but then failed to hold in the next game. Haase raced into a 4-0 lead in the second set and, although Evans managed to get a couple of service games on the board, eased to victory in 80 minutes. Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Evans, who rates clay as his least favourite surface, did make his opponent work in what proved to be final game, spurning three break points before Haase, 30, took his fourth match point. Britain's world number one Andy Murray, who received a first-round bye, will play Romania's Marius Copil in his opening match on Tuesday. The Scot, 29, finished runner-up in Madrid last year, losing to Novak Djokovic in the final. Johanna Konta, Britain's leading female player, continued her own struggles on clay with a final-set slump during her defeat by Laura Siegemund in the first round of the Madrid Open on Sunday. Sam James, from Salisbury, now 13, entered a competition to design the helmet's artwork two years ago. It will be worn by Andy Green when he attempts to exceed 1,000mph (1,609km/h) in the Bloodhound SSC next year. It has been hand painted by the same artist who paints many F1 helmets, including Lewis Hamilton's. The artwork by Sam was selected from thousands to form the basis for the final design. Sam and his family met the driver and the team behind the record bid at the technical centre near Bristol where the car is being assembled. He said it was "really interesting" to see how his design had been used to make an "amazing helmet". He added: "I thought the colour orange was like fire, and it would be a good way to interpret it. "They've even included my signature at the back." Kenneth McClelland overtook without making proper checks and collided with Sally Preece who was coming the other way on her bike in September 2014. Ms Preece, from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, died of her injuries the following day. The crash happened on the A85 near Killin, Stirling. The 49-year-old cyclist was a week into a nine-day Land's-End-to-John-O'Groats cycle to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. McClelland, from Largs in Ayrshire, had earlier admitted causing her death by careless driving. At Stirling Sheriff Court, the sheriff sentenced McClelland to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work, banned him from driving for five years, and ordered him to re-sit his test before ever driving again. Sheriff William Gilchrist said McClelland's offence could have led to imprisonment. "However, given your age, I do not think it would be appropriate to impose a short period of imprisonment, which would be essentially a matter of weeks," he said. The pensioner, who suffers from angina and arthritis, was returning with his wife from a caravan holiday, when he overtook a "slow, elderly campervan", and the car behind it on a mountain pass, ploughing into mother-of-two who was coming the other way on her bike. The wing mirror of his Volvo S40 caught Mrs Preece's handlebars, and then she was caught by the wheel of a bike that McClelland himself was carrying on a rack on the back of his car. She was thrown more than 30 metres, coming to rest in the middle of the single-carriageway A85 trunk road. Solicitor Alexander Currie, defending, said McClelland, who had a 55-year unblemished driving record before the accident, "tendered his condolences" to Mrs Preece's family. Sheriff Gilchrist told McClelland: "These were tragic events, obviously for Mrs Sally Preece, but also for her family. "I have read victim impact statements from her husband, her mother and her father, and it is quite clear, as it inevitably would be, that they are suffering terribly as a result of the loss of Sally. "The consequences of your driving that day were the most serious -- they resulted in a fatality." Mrs Preece's husband Phil and other members of her family were in court to see McClelland sentenced. Mr Preece looked dumbstruck as the sheriff announced that McClelland would avoid jail, but afterwards he refused to comment on the outcome. They opened fire on the vehicle as it headed towards the Spanish city's harbour on Tuesday, officials said. The detained man, reported to be a Swedish national, has a history of psychiatric problems, the Spanish interior minister said. Barcelona's city hall said the truck had been stolen. Police started pursuing the vehicle after the driver, who was travelling at high speeds, failed to stop when ordered to do so, regional police chief Joan Carles Molinero said. The driver then turned to make his way along the wrong side of a ring road in the city, finally coming to a stop when the truck hit a wall at about 11:00 local time (10:00 GMT). Around 20 officers and at least six police cars arrived quickly on site, where several gas bottles were later seen lying on the ground. At least one gunshot was visible on the windscreen of the truck, although officials have not said whether there were any injuries following the incident. Spanish national television TVE reported that the truck had rammed several cars before police fired several times to stop it. Spain's interior minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said in a tweet that the incident on Tuesday was "not a case of a terrorist act". "The detained driver of the stolen butane gas truck has a psychiatric history," Mr Zoido said. Mireia Ruiz, who witnessed the incident, said the driver ignored others who were urging him to stop. "When people shouted at him, he would laugh and make offensive gestures with his hand," she told AFP. Police said that the 32-year-old driver was being questioned. Substitute Taylor Miles struck with 13 minutes remaining, cutting in from the right and firing home. Grimsby striker Nathan Arnold's late free-kick was well saved by Tom King before Richard Tait hit the crossbar with the rebound. The hosts remain fourth, four points above the visitors, and have won just once in their last five league games. Meanwhile, the Iron moved level on points with Tranmere, in the last National League play-off place, but have an inferior goal difference with just three games of the season left. Media playback is not supported on this device Grimsby Town manager Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside: "Braintree came to frustrate us and they did that. "We lost the game and it was a bad goal on our part. We were looking to see the ball out in desperation to try to launch an attack ourselves, rather than just dealing with the ball and the lad finished it well. "We found it difficult to create chances against what we knew beforehand. They're a very organised team that have frustrated a lot of teams this season and we're just the latest." A National Osteoporosis Society survey found a fifth of under-25s are cutting out or reducing dairy in their diet. It said it was concerned many young adults were putting their health at risk by following eating fads. Cutting out dairy can be healthy if enough calcium is consumed from other sources, such as nuts, seeds and fish. The charity surveyed 2,000 adults, including 239 under the age of 25 and 339 aged 25-35. Milk and dairy food, such as cheese and yoghurt, are important sources of calcium for strong bones. The charity's survey suggests that many young people seek dietary advice from bloggers and vloggers on the internet. Although some of this advice can be good, the charity is concerned some people become too restrictive about what they eat. A recent Food Standards Agency survey found that nearly half of 16-24 year olds said they had an intolerance to cow's milk and dairy products, compared to just 8% of over-75s. Yet only 24% had actually had their condition diagnosed by a doctor. Prof Susan Lanham-New, head of nutritional sciences at the University of Surrey and clinical advisor to the National Osteoporosis Society, said: "Diet in early adulthood is so important because by the time we get into our late 20s it is too late to reverse the damage caused by poor diet and nutrient deficiencies and the opportunity to build strong bones has passed." For adults, 700mg of calcium per day is recommended but boys and girls between 11 and 18 need up to 1000mg. However, a quarter of teenagers in the UK are thought to consume less than the minimum 400mg of calcium every day, dietary surveys suggest. Recommended levels can be achieved by eating three portions of dairy a day, such as cereal with milk, a yoghurt and a small chunk of cheddar cheese, experts say. Consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables, salmon, sardines, broccoli and baked beans, is particularly important before the age of 25, the osteoporosis charity said. It is urging parents to talk to their children about their diet. After the age of 50, half of all women and one in five men develop osteoporosis, a fragile bone condition that causes painful fractures of the hip, wrist and spine. Smoking, lack of exercise and fizzy drinks high in acid are all detrimental to healthy bones. A spokeswoman from the British Nutrition Foundation said: "While it's not necessarily dangerous to cut out dairy from your diet it's important to ensure you get enough calcium from other sources. "Dairy tends to make the biggest contribution to our calcium intakes and so this needs to be replaced by other sources such as bread, cereal, canned fish, nuts, seeds and leafy green vegetables as well as choosing dairy alternatives that are fortified with calcium." Here is a selection of 10 nominees: Brenda Iyoha nominated Inkosi Kachindamoto, who is a chief in the district of Dedza in Malawi. She annulled 330 child marriages last year, sending the children back to school. "This is a bold step and a statement of intent in the fight to end child marriages," said Ms Iyoha. Chi Yvonne nominated Marie-Claire Nabila Kuja, saying the Cameroonian campaigner "is on an unquenchable quest to ignite change in the lives of women and youths in Africa and beyond". "Her KujaPads initiative has gone a long way to improve the menstrual hygiene of thousands of girls in Cameroon." According to Ms Kuja, more than 80% of female students in the North West region of Cameroon have limited access to sanitary pads. Larry Swatuk nominated Louise Vale, executive director of the Association of Independent Publishers in South Africa, because she is a "lifelong rescuer of NGOs and communities in crisis". As an English teacher in the 1970s and 1980s, Ms Vale campaigned against the apartheid regime. She later helped open up access to education for disadvantaged youths and adults through various governmental and non-governmental organisations, and last year was appointed by President Jacob Zuma to the board of the Media Development and Diversity Agency. Udk Kalimalwanyo nominated Charity Salima, a community nurse in Malawi, because she "has volunteered for years to help women in maternal health through her community clinic Achikondi in Area 23, Lilongwe. "She is my unsung hero." Ms Salima founded her clinic in the impoverished district in 2008, offering affordable pre- and post-natal care, and has since delivered thousands of babies. Imani Amrani nominated Chesang Domtila, because she "worked wonders at the End FGM Academy - she made it happen and was an inspiration to all". A Kenyan anti-FGM activist, Ms Domtila was born into a community that practises female genital mutilation but managed to escape. "I have campaigned since I was 13 - I am now 26 - and I can say together with my team and other Kenyan activists, we have achieved a lot. I helped found an anti-FGM community-based organisation and currently work with the Guardian Global Media Campaign against FGM," she told the BBC. Brenda Iyoha nominated Mary Mangwiza for "tirelessly supporting orphans of HIV/Aids in Malawi". "With very few resources, she offers love and the chance of a meal and early education for children who would otherwise not get any," she says. Mother Mary's Children Centre looks after more than 900 orphans and other vulnerable children, particularly in the districts of Zomba and Chikwawa. International charity Sightsavers nominated one of their own volunteers in Cameroon, Evodia Njah, who delivers treatment for those at risk of river blindness. A widow with five children, she takes a census of her village between June and August and the information is used to allocate treatments. She then begins the job of overcoming people's suspicions, convincing them take medicine to stop itchiness and eye problems. "I get up very early in the morning and distribute between 6am-12pm, then from 6-8pm - this way you can make sure people are at home. I distribute every day for two weeks, to 20 households in my village. If people are not in, I go to other households, then I keep going back until I find them." Sarah Carpin nominated Josephine Agutu, a gold miner from Uganda, for "empowering women through Fairtrade gold" - an ethical jewellery certification system to get fairer wages for alluvial miners. Ms Agutu began working in mines at the age of 12 and now, as part of the Tiira Small-Scale Miners Association, she participates in a pilot Fairtrade project to prevent child labour and warn women about the dangers of using mercury to extract gold. US-based charity Etisah Foundation nominated Josephine Ngale, a retired police inspector from Limbe in Cameroon, who in 2007 set up the Save The Children Alliance Orphanage in the same area, which currently supports around 50 children. Ms Ngale is also a UN peacekeeper who focuses on gender-based violence. Previously stationed in Sudan's Darfur region, she is currently based in the main Ivorian city of Abidjan. Commenting on her nomination, she told the BBC: "Thank you for nominating me, it makes me proud to be a strong African woman." Josiah Mugo Mosby nominated Tegla Loroupe because she "won marathons for Kenya, now she runs for peace in her Pokot community", where cattle rustling and revenge killings are common. A three-time world half-marathon champion and two-time world marathon champion, Ms Loroupe established the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation in 2003 to bring peace and unification through sports.

He lost last year to independent Lutfur Rahman, who was convicted of electoral fraud and told to stand down in April. Mr Rahman was banned from the new vote. Mr Biggs won 32,754 votes, including second preference votes, to beat independent Rabina Khan. He said the borough now needed to "move forwards". Speaking after the overnight count at London's ExCel conference centre, the new mayor said: "What is important in Tower Hamlets is that we recognise the events of the past year or more have caused enormous tension and friction in our great borough and we need... to pull things back together again." The Labour win in Tower Hamlets marks, for many here, the beginning of a new start. Branded a "rotten borough" just seven weeks ago when Lutfur Rahman was removed for corrupt election practices, this is a council that's been mired in accusations of murky leadership. So John Biggs has a huge job on his hands to rebuild faith in local politics and redeem the damaged reputation left behind by the former executive mayor. But this victory means even more to Labour than that, because Tower Hamlets is safe Labour territory in terms of parliamentary elections and yet the party had lost control of the borough in 2010 to a man who had for many years been one of their own councillors. With Lutfur Rahman now out of the picture and the Tower Hamlets First Party he formed no longer allowed to operate under that banner, the candidate he endorsed - Rabina Khan, who stood as an independent - was unable on election night to galvanise the kind of support that Rahman once drew in. "Without dwelling too much on the past we should remind ourselves why we are in this position; there was bad behaviour," Mr Biggs added. "We need to overcome that, we need to move forwards, we need to recognise that Tower Hamlets is actually quite a magical place... where people come with traditionally quite little and build their dreams." He was elected with fewer votes than he received in the election he lost to Mr Rahman last year. The disgraced former mayor Mr Rahman falsely branded Mr Biggs as a racist in the 2014 mayoral election, which has since been declared void. Ms Khan, a former member of Mr Rahman's Tower Hamlets First party, received a total of 26,384 votes, including second preferences, while Conservative Peter Golds was third with 5,940. There was a strong police presence at polling stations and at the overnight count. Turnout in the election was 37.73%. Meanwhile Labour's Sabina Akhtar won a council seat from an independent in the Stepney Green ward in a related by-election contest. The previous Tower Hamlets First candidate Alibor Choudhury worked closely with Mr Rahman and was also found guilty of corrupt practices by the Electoral Commission. Ms Akhtar's win gives Labour a majority on the council, where it now has 23 seats, against 17 for independents and five for the Conservatives. The candidates standing in the Tower Hamlets mayoral election were:

Labour's John Biggs has become the directly elected mayor of the London borough of Tower Hamlets, in an election called after the previous mayor was removed from office.

Afternoon tea in the Shanghai Peninsula Hotel is reminiscent of the days when the British ran the world's greatest trading empire. Then, as now, Shanghai was the money capital of China and afternoon tea was a ritual featuring crisp tablecloths, silver tea service and business gossip. The big difference now is that Britain no longer runs the empire. With a population 20 times as large, China has the scale advantage and the shoe is now on the other foot. The last British government worked hard at attracting Chinese investment, embarking on what it called a golden decade with Beijing. But the new prime minister has delayed a key nuclear power project, reportedly due to concerns about Chinese involvement. So just as Brexit Britain is looking to new economic partners to replace the European Union, will national security concerns rock its relationship with China? Across the table from me, sipping English tea (milk, no sugar), Joselyn Zhou is untroubled. She acquired the English tea habit last year while studying for an MBA at Durham University. At 34 years old, this Shanghainese is already a business veteran. And while studying in the north-east of England, she kept close watch on small British enterprises she believes have the potential to make it big in China. Her first target is a digital platform for occupational training courses, as she believes China has the technology but not enough content. "From my perspective, the UK is still an attractive destination," she says. "It is a centre for talented people. If you can retain that quality and attract bright business talent in, I don't see any negative effects. "And for a new prime minister, checking everything is reasonable. I don't see long-term tension. The two countries will solve things in a diplomatic way." In Ms Zhou's view, whether it is a company or a government, when facing the might of China, it all comes down to having something worth selling. When the UK leaves the EU and has to negotiate trade deals with China alone, she says, it will have less leverage, so quality will be even more important. "You have nations that are small but their standards and quality are high, so it is all about what you have to offer," she says. Ms Zhou is not the only one optimistic about the future of the UK-China relationship. Larry Wang runs a consultancy arranging visas for Chinese investors in the UK and has seen intense demand post-Brexit. "The UK remains a dream country for lots of Chinese people. If possible they would like their children to be educated in the UK for a period of time," he says. "They don't make decisions on political reasons, but on their own economic benefits. It doesn't matter if the UK remains in the European Union or not." A lawyer I get chatting to on a train tells me the British bargains for China's moneyed classes go beyond education, to holidays, property and business. "If there is an opportunity for them to invest and they see valuable assets, that will prompt an overall investment shopping spree," he says. "And as a tourist, everything is more affordable. "Basically, China has never been this rich, and London has never been this affordable." He himself is about to take his family to the UK on holiday, and many of his friends are buying property. But he urges the British government to quash doubts about Chinese intentions and national security. "There are people who are very sceptical and suspicious about Chinese expansion worldwide," he says. "To me, this is not justified. Everyone needs to make money. "You really should grab this opportunity and maximise your profit. "That is what English people are very good at." The most sombre assessment of British prospects I meet in China this week comes from a man who still has to promote them. Joerg Wuttke represents the European Chamber of Commerce, and, while acknowledging the UK's strong financial services, soft power and good will in China, he gave me a long list of reasons to be gloomy about what will happen when the UK finally leaves the EU and has to negotiate its own trade deals with China. "It's going to be difficult," he says. "First, the Chinese hate uncertainty. Second, you have past promises that when you enter London you're in the middle of Europe. This is not the case any more. Thirdly, if you invest heavily in the United Kingdom and then have your currency devalued by 10%, that already sends a message to Beijing. "And the last point, Hinkley Point… is the UK a trusted partner when it comes to Chinese companies operating a nuclear power station or not? For China, this is very difficult to swallow possibly. Are we trusted partners or not?" Is the list long enough? Mr Wuttke is also worried the UK does not have enough experienced trade negotiators to handle negotiations. And it is at this point that the real challenge begins. "It will find it has no leverage," he says. "The UK already has the most open market. China's is closed. China doesn't trade on good will; you have to trade with something. "For the UK, it will take five to 10 years if it wants to negotiate a free trade agreement." The irony is that what was intended as a golden decade for UK-China ties may turn into a tortuous decade of trade talks. But at least there will be British bargains for Chinese buyers along the way.

Brexit will mean Britain having to find new economic partners, so what are the prospects of a stronger trading relationship with China?

The anxious process will have seen teenagers visiting university open days and worrying about personal statements on their application forms. For some of the most competitive courses there are also interviews. Oxford, keen to demystify its admissions process, has published the type of questions students might face. "Interviews will be an entirely new experience for most students, and we know many prospective applicants are already worried about being in an unfamiliar place and being questioned by people they have not met," says director of admissions Samina Khan. In an attempt to make it less intimidating the university has produced a video explaining how the interview works. And it has published some sample questions - and suggestions for how students might have answered. This was a question for a French course. Interviewer Helen Swift, from St Hilda's College, said: "This is the sort of question that could emerge from a student's personal statement, where, in speaking about their engagement with literature and culture of the language they want to study, they state a keen interest in works (such as a novel, play or film) that are "political". "We might start off by discussing the specific work that they cite (something that isn't included in their A-level syllabus), so they have chance to start off on something concrete and familiar, asking, for instance, "in what ways?", "why?", "why might someone not enjoy it for the same reason?". "We'd then look to test the extent of their intellectual curiosity and capacities for critical engagement by broadening the questioning out to be more conceptually orientated and invite them to make comparisons between things that they've read/seen (in whatever language). "So, in posing the overall question, 'What makes this political?' we'd want the candidate to start thinking about what one means in applying the label: what aspects of a work does it evoke? Is it a judgement about content or style? Could it be seen in and of itself a value judgement? How useful is it as a label? "What if we said that all art is, in fact, political? What about cases where an author denies that their work is political, but critics assert that it is - is it purely a question of subjective interpretation? "A strong candidate would show ready willingness and very good ability to engage and develop their ideas in conversation. It would be perfectly fine for someone to change their mind in the course of the discussion or come up with a thought that contradicted something they'd said before - we want people to think flexibly and be willing to consider different perspectives... "Undoubtedly, the candidate would need to take a moment to think in the middle of all that - we expect that "ermmm", "ah", "oh", "well" will feature in someone's responses!" This was a question for medicine. Interviewer Chris Norbury, from Queen's College, said: "This is a typically open question, with no single 'correct' answer, which aims to stimulate the sort of discussion that might be encountered in a tutorial teaching session. "The discussion could take any one of a number of directions, according to the candidate's interests. Some candidates will ask useful clarifying questions, such as, 'Where do these data come from, and how reliable are they?' or "What is the average life expectancy in these parts of the world?" "Some candidates will seize on the idea that various aspects of the typical lifestyle in the UK are inherently unhealthy, which can make for an interesting discussion in itself. Others, especially if they appreciate that life expectancy in the Philippines is substantially lower than in the UK, will realise that other causes of death are more common in the developing world, and that this is the major factor that gives rise to the difference alluded to in the question. "This probes selection criteria including problem-solving, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, communication skills, ability to listen and compatibility with the tutorial format." This was a question for philosophy, politics and economics, and interviewer Ian Phillips, from St Anne's College, said: "Questions like this help draw out a candidate's ability to think carefully and precisely about a familiar concept, evaluating proposals, coming up with counter-examples, disentangling considerations, and being creative in proposing alternative approaches. "Obviously the notion of blame is an important one in moral theory but insofar as blame is an emotional attitude it also brings in issues in the philosophy of mind. Debates about the nature of blame are going on right now in philosophy so the question is also partly a prompt for doing some philosophy together - which is exactly what we hope to achieve in a tutorial. "With a question like this we're not looking for a right answer but instead whether the candidate can be creative in coming up with examples and suggestions, and can think critically and carefully through their implications... "Good interviews will often generate all kinds of interesting and revealing discussions that show a candidate's ability for analytical thought: for example about self-blame, cases of blame where the blamer knew the blamed had done nothing wrong, and indeed cases of blaming something inanimate (such as a faulty printer or phone)." This was a question for maths and interviewer Rebecca Cotton-Barratt, from Christ Church, said: "This question tests whether you can do what mathematicians do, which is to abstract away all the unimportant information and use mathematics to represent what's going on. "I'd initially ask the candidate what shape they think will be formed, and then ask them how they can test this hypothesis. They might initially try sketching the ladder at different stages - this is fine, but ultimately what we want is something that we can generalise and that is accurate (you can't be sure that your drawing is that accurate, particularly when you're making a sketch on a whiteboard and don't have a ruler). "So eventually they will fall back on maths, and try to model the situation using equations. If they get stuck we would ask them what shape the ladder makes with the wall and floor, and they'll eventually spot that at each stage the ladder is forming a right-angled triangle. "Some might then immediately leap to Pythagoras' Theorem and use that to find the answer (which is that it forms a quarter circle centred on the point where the floor meets the wall)." This was a question for experimental psychology. Interviewer Kate Watkins of St Anne's College said: "This is a question that really asks students to think about lots of different aspects of psychology, and we guide students when discussing it to think about both scientific factors such as maternal age (mothers are older when younger siblings are born - could that play a role?) and observational analysis about how birth order might affect behaviour and therefore performance on IQ tests. "It's a great question because students begin from the point they are most comfortable with, and we gradually add more information to see how they respond: for example, noting that for example the pattern holds true even taking into account things like maternal age. "This can lead them to think about what the dynamics of being an older sibling might be that produce such an effect - they might suggest that having more undivided parental attention in the years before a sibling comes along makes a difference, for example. "Then we introduce the further proviso that the effect isn't observable in only children - there is something particular to being an older sibling that produces it. Eventually most students arrive at the conclusion that being an older sibling and having to teach a younger sibling certain skills and types of knowledge benefits their own cognitive skills (learning things twice, in effect). "But there isn't really a "right" answer and we are always interested to hear new explanations that we haven't heard before."

It's the university application season - with the first wave of deadlines, including Oxford and Cambridge, coming this week.

US artist Ally Burguieres complained on Facebook after Swift used a wrongly-credited drawing of a fox identical to one of her watercolour designs. Swift removed the image but the artist claims she took months to compensate her, that it wasn't enough and she was told she had to give it charity. Swift's representatives say Ms Burguieres is just seeking publicity. They also say the singer was just sharing a piece of work, that Ms Burguieres had been more than fairly compensated and that no stipulation of a donation was made. "Notwithstanding the huge publicity this has generated for Ms Burguieres and her store, in early November, Ms Swift's office made a fair offer of payment well above a reasonable licensing fee for the short time that the fan art was posted online," the representative told Rolling Stone. Swift used the hand-drawn image on social media alongside the lyrics to the track I Know Places, which features the lyrics: "They are the hunters we are the foxes and we run…" In her Facebook post, the New Orleans artist wrote: "I am a professional artist. With years of work and support from customers, friends, and family, I have built a business around my designs. "As a professional artist, I was astonished to see you use one of my most popular designs on all your official social media platforms as part of your promotions for 1989. "The design was a copy, and with someone else's name signed to it. I was devastated." Ms Burguieres added that Swift would not herself agree to the "four-figure" compensation amount or to the charity donation terms. "Taylor, as a professional, would you agree to such terms from Apple, or Spotify?" said Ms Burguieres, referring to the fact Taylor took her music off the music streaming service Spotify and confronted Apple about artist payments. Swift's team told Rolling Stone: "We have tried on multiple occasions to address Ms Burguieres' concerns, but these actions make it clear to us that this is just an unfortunate effort to extract more money and more publicity." The row over the fox painting is the latest in a line of recent copyright and legal wrangles involving Swift. Last month Swift paid an undisclosed sum to a US clothing company to settle a legal dispute over her use of its Lucky 13 name. A judge also threw out a claim by US R&B singer Jesse Braham that Swift copied the words from his 2013 song called Haters Gone Hate for her hit Shake It Off. And in October, Swift filed a counterclaim against a US radio DJ who is suing her over allegations he groped her backstage at a concert in June 2013. Mak Chishty described Saturday's terror attack in London, which was claimed by the so-called Islamic State group, as "an attack on all communities". Seven died in the attack, with 48 hurt. The attackers were shot dead by police. "Terrorism and extremism is hurting Islam," said Mr Chishty - the highest-ranking Met officer of Muslim faith. "Every time a terrorist attack takes place, Muslim communities either face, or fear, a backlash against them," said a statement read by Mr Chishty on behalf of Muslim community groups. "The Muslim community appeals to all sections within their own communities to root out the scourge of terrorism which hides amongst their own people and masquerades as Islam. "The Muslim community is alarmed and concerned that this attack by three people, which would have required planning, was not reported." The three attackers drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and launched a knife attack in Borough Market before being shot by police. It was the third terror attack in the UK in three months, following the car and knife attack in Westminster in March, in which five people were killed, and the Manchester bombing on 22 May, when 22 people were killed. Speaking outside New Scotland Yard, flanked by Muslim community leaders, Mr Chishty added: "It is the Islamic duty of every Muslim to be loyal to the country in which they live and we are now asking questions to understand how extremism and hatred has taken hold within some elements of our own communities. "Muslims must do more to stop such attacks from happening again and we want to know how we can play a greater role in the future." Mohammed Endris is accused of smothering his son Saros Endris, eight, and his daughter Leanor, six, who were found after a fire in Holland Road, Birmingham in October. The 46-year-old also denied attempting to murder their mother, Penil Teklehaimanot. He was remanded in custody at Birmingham Crown Court until his trial, which is expected on 6 November. Mr Endris, who appeared in the dock with a head bandage, was charged with murder in January after being released from hospital following treatment for burns he suffered in a car fire. His children are thought to have died from an obstruction in their airways. More updates on this story Recent reports suggest that stadium construction is behind schedule while Cameroon also faces economic problems. "Despite security concerns, social and economic crises, the government and President Paul Biya are totally engaged to do everything for the Nations Cup to go ahead," said Ismael Bidoung. Cameroon won this year's Nations Cup. In the wake of concerns aired about Cameroon's readiness, North African nations Algeria and Morocco have recently put themselves forward as back-up options for the finals. Bidoung said that group games will take place in five cities, with Limbe having been added to the four venues mentioned in Cameroon's original bid: Bafoussam, Douala, Garoua and the capital Yaounde. However, more venues are needed for the teams' training - some of which were already used when Cameroon hosted the Women's Africa Cup of Nations last year. "Of the 32 stadia required for the 2019 Nations Cup, the 11 that served for the 2016 Women Africa Cup of Nations are ready and functional," said Bidoung. "For the 21 other stadia, 14 are under rehabilitation and 7 are still to be constructed." The stadiums in Yaounde (the 60,000-capacity Japoma) and in Douala (50,000) are those that require the most reconstruction work. Italian firm Piccini is working on the Olembe stadium in Yaounde and has reassured Cameroonians that it will deliver the venue three months before the finals begin. It added that 80% of the material will be precast in Italy before being shipped to Cameroon. "The stadium will be ready for Caf inspection in September 2017, but you must be aware that work will still be going on in the complex afterwards," said Marc Debandt, the director for the Olembe project. "The commercial centre and hotel will be completed afterwards." One former Cameroon international, Patrick Mboma, is fearful about the slow pace of work across his nation. "For the past two years I have been sending out a distress signal," he said on Twitter. "Cameroon is not advancing for the 2019 Nations Cup. Let's avoid humiliation. This is a dream that must not be shattered." Cameroon has won the Nations Cup five times, four more than it has hosted the event - with its sole staging coming back in 1972, when Congo took the title. Vale winger Chris Birchall nipped in ahead of Jim McNulty to round keeper Joel Castro Pereira and slip the ball inside the near post on 13 minutes. But Dale levelled from Ian Henderson's 40th-minute penalty following Carl Dickinson's foul on Donal McDermott. Nat Mendez-Laing knocked in a rebound to win it on 78 minutes prior to captain Carl Dickinson's sending off. Dickinson, who was red carded in added time for an off-the-ball challenge on Henderson, had earlier seen his header graze the top of Pereira's crossbar after Mendez-Laing had slammed a shot against the foot of the post at the other end. Both sides hit the woodwork after the break, Mendez-Laing slamming a shot against the foot of the post for Dale. But, when James Hooper's effort was blocked, the rebound ran kindly for Mendez-Laing who applied a cool finish to find the bottom corner of Jak Alnwick's net and earn victory. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I enjoyed watching the game, I thought the performance merited 3 points. I must admit I do believe we were given a penalty that was an excellent challenge from one of their defenders, I don't think it was a penalty and I think the referee has got that wrong. I am one of those that comes out and complains about referees. "As a home manager to get the advantage their when the opposition is winning 1-0. It was a big lift for us but I think we were playing well and I do believe we deserved the 3 points from the performance. "I think we've got a very good squad of players, but we are dealing with inconsistent performances. Individually we have to crack that nut. On any given Saturday we're a very, very good side but I just want a little bit of individual consistency. This season I think we've been inconsistent with performances which has led to inconsistent results." For the first time, all of the council's seats will be contested in one go on Thursday, with the next election not due until 2020. Until now, most years have seen elections for one third of the borough's councillors. The new system is not expected to work in favour of the party which currently dominates the authority - Labour. There will be more choice on the ballot paper, with voters able to elect either two or three councillors at once. Previously councillors standing for seats in the same area were elected in different years, meaning there was only ever one choice at each election. It means there's a risk for Labour that some who voted for them in previous years may now give their second and even third votes to other parties. It's thought this will most likely benefit smaller parties like UKIP, the Greens and the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, although not all of them have candidates in all areas of the borough. The Liberal Democrats currently form the main opposition, with nine councillors against Labour's 40. The council's chief executive, Steven Broomhead, hopes fewer elections will lead to a more stable council. He told the BBC: "It allows the party that wins and takes overall control to implement their policies on a more long-term basis, rather than worrying about the short-termism of facing elections every year." There are no other local authority elections in Cheshire this year. Voters are being asked to elect a police and crime commissioner, however, and you can read more about this election here. The thriller made $26.1m (£19.9m) between Friday and Sunday, according to studio estimates. It follows three teenagers who burgle a house but find that its blind owner is not as helpless as he appears. With a budget of under $10m (£7.6m), it is already in profit, and its success has ended supervillain romp Suicide Squad's three-week run at the top. Don't Breathe reunited actress Jane Levy and director Fede Alvarez, who worked together on 2013's Evil Dead. It is the latest in a string of low-budget horror films to become box office hits, joining the likes of The Purge: Election Year, Lights Out and The Shallows, which have also found success this year. "These are the films of bean counters' dreams," Paul Dergarabedian of box office trackers ComScore told Reuters news agency. "They are profit machines and even when they're poorly reviewed, people line up for them." Rory Bruer, distribution chief for film studio Sony, said: "This film is going to be a big money-maker for us. We knew we had something special here." Suicide Squad was the weekend's second most popular film with $12.1m (£9.2m) in ticket sales, taking its North American total to $282.9m (£215.6m). The top five also included children's film Kubo and the Two Strings, adult animation Sausage Party and Jason Statham-led sequel Mechanic: Resurrection. Further down the list, the new Ben Hur dropped from fifth place to 10th in its second week, putting its running total at $19.6m (£14.9m). With a reported $100m (£76m) budget, it is on course to be one of the year's biggest flops. Meanwhile, Southside With You, about Barack and Michelle Obama's first date, took $3.1m (£2.4m) on a more limited release.

The woman, 20, had agreed to ride with a man from their hostel in south-east Queensland to Brisbane, police said. But when he began driving in the opposite direction, she demanded to get out of the car. The man refused. Police intercepted the pair at Gympie, 90km (55 miles) from the hostel, after her father contacted them. The 22-year-old driver, from Sweden, was arrested and taken to hospital for medical treatment. The local Courier Mail newspaper named the woman as Mary Kate Heys, from Manchester. Police said she was not hurt. The newspaper quoted Ms Heys as saying that the man woke her up at 04:30 local time on Monday (18:30 GMT on Sunday) at the Mooloolaba hostel, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, and she agreed to go on a road trip with him. She reportedly began to feel unsafe when he changed plans and said they should drive to Far North Queensland. "I was so scared and I thought I was going to die," Ms Heys told The Courier-Mail. She sent her father text messages reading "I need you to call Australian Police" and "I've been taken by a man … please hurry", the paper reported. The Swedish man will not face charges after the British woman withdrew her complaint against him, police said. Put simply, an "engineer" cut the data centre's power, messed up the reboot and fried the circuits, he has said. His explanation has raised eyebrows amongst former British Airways IT workers I've spoken to. There are big red "panic" buttons to cut all the power in the computer room. You hit them as a last resort, if there's a fire or someone's life is in danger. I'm told the buttons are mounted on the wall though and should be protected by a perspex box with a lift-up flap, so you can't knock it by accident. Rebooting the whole shebang isn't simple either. You can't just pull the red button back out again. I'm told you normally need to turn a special key at the same time to return the power. There is also a strict check-list that you have to follow, just like BA's pilots follow a strict check-list before taking off and landing their planes. I spoke to someone who used to write similar check-lists. "You must fire things back up in the right order, synchronising the data," they said. After you've sorted the red button, you then need to flick all of the circuit breaker switches linked to each server, like flicking the switches back on in your fuse box at home after they've tripped. Finally, you restart each server. It's a gradual process rather than a surge, I'm told. People I spoke to echoed the same thought: "I cannot see how that would cause a power surge." Another expert suggests there are other ways to power down a system. Maybe they were carrying out maintenance on something called a UPS (uninterruptable power supply), which is the battery back-up, designed to step in if the mains fails. But if that's what happened, it prompts the question: why were they working on the UPS at such a busy time (see below)? I'm told that any contractor would have been escorted at all times by an IT staff member. "That was always the rule". Even if that contractor was from the company managing the facility. They wouldn't even be allowed into the data centre without a detailed description of the job they were doing. For obvious reasons, access to the centre is strictly controlled. "Maybe one in 10 IT staff have a pass that can get them in", one former worker told me. And it's even more restricted to get into the room housing the actual computer hardware. We don't know if this hapless engineer was being escorted and if so, by whom. It seems unlikely that a lone engineer would take-on this complex "off and on" process on their own, without an expert stopping them in their tracks. I'm told, "alarms would have been going off all over the place. It would have been obvious who was the culprit, he wouldn't/shouldn't have been allowed to do anything else". BA would never carry out IT changes during busy periods, I'm told. These are called "freeze periods", normally starting a few days before a big holiday and ending a few days after. This computer catastrophe happened on a bank holiday weekend over half term, a classic "freeze period". I've been told about a builder once hitting the red button with a ladder, and a manager hitting it by mistake and never living it down. But these incidents all happened decades ago, in the 70s and 80s, when the buttons weren't covered with protective boxes etc. I've not heard of any recent incidents. When everything went pear-shaped, why didn't the British Airways' back-up system take over? I understand that there is another building called Cranebank, less than a kilometre from the building that went wrong, full of identical systems that can be fired up in an emergency. It's like having Peter Shilton standing right behind the goal, ready to step in if Ray Clemence gets injured (I know I'm showing my age a bit. Ask your parents if you've never heard of them). Theoretically, even someone mistakenly shutting off the power and switching it back on incorrectly shouldn't bring the whole global system down. There are rumours doing the rounds at BA that it was sabotage by a disgruntled employee. But no one I spoke to thought that was likely. A spokesperson for BA also reiterated there was no evidence to suggest it was sabotage. I have also heard that the air conditioning was being fixed at the time, so the diesel back-up generator was switched off. There's no evidence for any of this, but if you leave gaps in your explanation, people will fill them in. Willie Walsh says that they've asked an independent company to investigate what happened and that they will make those findings public. There's no timescale on when that report will be ready. In an online post, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) blamed overconsumption of fizzy drinks, excessive computer gaming and even masturbation for the poor health of young people. It said physical test failure rates had reached an "alarming high", with at least half of the candidates failing in one city. The military has been struggling to find recruits in recent years, despite its heavy promotion of patriotic "heroes" and military TV and film dramas.    The PLA's advice appeared on its official "ChinesePeoplesArmy" account on WeChat, a WhatsApp-like mobile messenger, on 19 August. It cited data from a Chinese city where 56.9% of candidates failed their physicals, and recommended that potential candidates follow 10 basic principles: The post quickly attracted widespread mockery, and thousands took to the popular microblog Sina Weibo to discuss it. "Next year they'll be asking for circumcisions!" said one user. Another user said they suspected "having a birth mark is probably too much". "How are there so many unhealthy people?" one user asked. Many people weighed in with why they would fail a PLA physical, mainly because of poor eyesight. Others identified a decline in standards among young people. "Today's youths live too comfortably," said one user. The military has staunchly defended its rigorous recruitment process, with the defence ministry saying it has "strict rules and procedures". "The quality of our recruits is guaranteed and the headwaters of our military will flow long and strong," it added. Many social media users, however, say they suspect that the post was intended to encourage enrolment because "money is not being sent to the army".   Last month, the Ministry of Defence announced plans to downsize the PLA from an estimated two million to one million. It said this was intended to boost other branches of the military and to meet evolving security requirements, but some users speculated that it was because of falling numbers of recruits. Poor conditions in the military have been highlighted in the media, with reports of low pay, bad food, poor prospects for marriage and difficulties in finding jobs after demobilisation. The military has turned to unconventional means to try to boost recruitment, including releasing a rap music video last year.

Typhoon Hato made landfall at noon on Wednesday near Zhuhai city in Guangdong province, bringing with it strong winds and lashing rain. Hong Kong raised its typhoon warning signal to 10, the highest level. The territory and nearby Macau were brought to a standstill. The storm caused widespread flooding, blackouts and destruction. Chinese state media said nearly 27,000 people on the mainland were evacuated. Authorities have issued alerts for landslides, flooding and other geological disasters, reported Xinhua. Hong Kong 's meteorological authority said Hato had maximum winds of up to 175kph (109mph). Eight people were killed in Macau, while four were reported dead in mainland China. Another person remains unaccounted for, according to local media. Businesses, schools, train stations and airports were forced to shut on Wednesday, with only one aeroplane managing to land at Hong Kong's normally busy airport, the South China Morning Post reported. The storm is estimated to have cost the global financial centre up to HK$8bn (£800m; $1bn). Hato, which means "pigeon" in Japanese, is still making its way westwards inland but is losing power, according to Hong Kong authorities. The softening of Scottish economic performance - much of it driven by the weakness in the oil and sector, though probably not all - has barely registered in the campaign. That may be because the worst appears to be over - or the best, if you're an oil consumer, and most of us are. The price per barrel of global benchmark Brent Crude ended April just above $47. Since dipping briefly below $30 in January, it has risen by nearly two-thirds. That sounds a lot. And it is. But it's worth remembering that the price is down by 30% on this time last year, and by 60% on its most recent peak, in June 2014. So what's going on, and what does it tell us about the future direction of travel? Last month saw members of OPEC, the cartel of major oil exporters, fail to agree on a way of limiting production so as to push prices up. It looks to some, such as Oxford Economics, as if the cartel is dead. Or like the Norwegian blue parrot, it's resting. That is partly because two big players, Saudi Arabia and Iran, have a growing regional rivalry. It is also because non-OPEC members have much more influence on prices than used to be the case. The price could have plummeted with that April failure to agree a freeze on production levels. But it didn't. It barely stumbled, and then continued its rising trend. Now, oil industry analysts are pointing to a continuing upside to the price. The boss of the International Energy Agency was the most recent to do so, commenting over the weekend. OPEC is next due to meet again in Vienna on June 2. But having ridden out the last failure to agree, and with prices rising despite that, there is less pressure to do a deal. The Saudis left little doubt that their decision in late 2014 to retain production levels in order to sustain market share was intended to drive their new US rivals out of production. Shale oil had followed on the shale gas boom in the USA. It helps explain why the country's crude oil production rose 57% between 2012 and 2015. But the nature of a shale well is that it depletes in up to a couple of years, and then the reservoir has to be re-fracked. There are only around half the shale rigs drilling in the US than there were a year ago. The low price has meant that it's not been worth going after more. Indeed, US shale drillers are in a lot of financial distress. Supply remains one million to two million barrels per day more than demand. The fall of US output should help ease back on that over-supply. It represents more than half of the 700,000 barrels per day decline in non-OPEC output expected this year. But America's frackers are ready to come back, if the price does. They will probably start doing so at around $55. The International Energy Agency estimates that Texas and the Dakotas kick back in at $60 to $65, and could then take a year or so to return to steady production. Before then, a rising price will lead to the release into the market of large stocks of oil that have been built up in the past 18 months. Commercial reserves in the OECD more developed nations, according to the International Energy Agency, stand at more than three billion barrels. That $60 to $70 range is seen as the most likely one for the price to stabilise, at least for a while. Back in the heart of OPEC, around the Persian Gulf, Iran is determined to ignore the cartel's pressure to keep total supply suppressed. Having been allowed to export since January, the Tehran government wants to get back to what it was producing before sanctions were imposed in 2011, and a bit more. It was then at 3.5m barrels per day, and according to industry analysis from Platt's consultancy, it's nearly back to that level. It has stated that it wants to average 4m barrels per day this year. Much of that is currently going to refineries in India and South Korea. It has recently become easier to insure tankers sailing out of Iran, meaning it will play a more significant role in supplying Europe in coming months. That's out of more than 95 million barrels produced globally each day, more than 10m of them from Saudi Arabia. which is part of more than 32m from OPEC countries. That OPEC figure is reckoned by Reuters surveying to have crept up again in April, helping to explain a fall in price at the start of the first, low-volume trading day of May. (If it helps get a sense of scale, the UK's output of oil and its gas equivalent has risen recently to 1.5m barrels per day.) Iraq is also ramping up post-war production, reaching 4.16m barrels per day in March. But some other countries are seeing it fall. Nigeria has disruptions from vandalism and attacks on its infrastructure. Venezuela's economy is in dire straits and Libya faces a civil war, so both have seen output cut by a shortage of power necessary to operate production plants. Oil extraction requires a lot of energy. Then there's the demand side of the imbalance. Last year saw demand growth strengthen a bit, having dipped with the stalling of emerging market growth. A more recent analysis from the IEA suggests that it is continuing to rise to 1.2m barrels per day more this year. That's a slower rate of rise than the back end of 2015, as China, Europe and the US demand eases. But while it's rising, it helps close the gap between demand and supply and get the market more balanced again. And there's another factor - the mighty greenback. The US dollar has weakened by around 6% against a basket of currencies since the start of the year, and that helps drive up the cost of a dollar-denominated commodity. What about the longer term? In a brave bit of forecasting, Edinburgh-based Wood Mackenzie energy consultancy last week put out a warning of a huge, 4.5m barrels per day supply shortage. That, it suggested, could be with us in 2035. The reasoning for this is that the industry has become much less effective, or lucky, at finding new oil reserves. Even before the price slump cut exploration budgets by 40 to 50%, the annual discoveries of liquid reserves of hydrocarbons fell by roughly half between 2008 and 2015. The average year has seen around eight billion barrels of oil found. Last year, it was less than three billion. A much harder calculation is how much demand there will be if the world's oil users are to meet their commitments to climate change targets. If governments are true to their word, with written agreement of the Paris accord signed in the past few days, and if technology helps renewable power replace fossil fuels, the oil market 19 years from now may look very different Ofcom said the state broadcaster's English language outlet had breached several broadcasting licence rules over editorial control of the channel. Press TV has also failed to pay a £100,000 fine imposed last year. The channel called the decision "a clear example of censorship". It will be removed from Sky on 20 January. The £100,000 fine was imposed last year after the network broadcast an interview with imprisoned Newsweek and Channel 4 journalist Maziar Bahari, which the Ofcom said had been conducted under duress. Ofcom said Press TV had "indicated it is unwilling and unable to pay". It was during the investigation into the Bahari interview that the media regulator formed the impression that editorial decisions on the channel were being controlled by the offices in Tehran, instead of the UK. Press TV was given the opportunity to respond and make the relevant amendments needed to comply with the broadcasting code, but "failed to make the necessary application", Ofcom said. In a statement issued to the BBC, Press TV's newsroom director Mr Hamid Emadi said: "We asked Ofcom if Press TV Limited did not have control over the broadcast, why was it getting fined, if it did have control, why would the licence be revoked? "Ofcom contradictions are nothing new for Press TV. The British government's tool to control the media has, on several occasions, changed its decisions regarding Press TV in its two-year campaign against the alternative news channel." The statement also claimed that Ofcom, which it called "the media arm of the Royal family", had failed to respond to a letter sent by its Chief Executive earlier this month. Press TV channel launched in 2007 to break what Iran's state broadcaster called a Western "stranglehold" over the world's media. The FRC is an independent disciplinary body for UK accountants and actuaries. The FRC's investigation will include business services giant PwC's auditing and preparation of Tesco's accounts. PwC remains as Tesco's auditor. In September, Tesco said it had mis-stated its half-year profit guidance by £250m - a figure that was subsequently revised to £263m in October. PwC said in a statement: "We take our responsibilities very seriously and remain committed to delivering work to the highest professional standards. We will cooperate fully with the FRC in its inquiries." And Tesco said: "We will provide support to the FRC's investigation." In December, Tesco said full-year profits would be well below market expectations. Instead of the £1.8bn to £2.2bn expected by the markets, the supermarket chain said group trading profit for the full financial year "will not exceed £1.4bn". The announcement by the Financial Reporting Council that it is investigating Tesco's accounts will heap pressure on the beleaguered retailer. The Serious Fraud Office is already investigating allegations of accounting irregularities following the admission in September that Tesco had over-stated its profits by £263m. The FRC's inquiry will be into PwC's auditing of Tesco's accounts as well as the preparation of those accounts. The fact that the inquiry will investigate three years of accounts will concern investors as it could reveal further evidence that the problems go back further than initially thought. The FRC's arsenal if any wrongdoing is found is formidable. It can impose unlimited fines on PWC; it can demand unlimited costs; and it can strike off any individual found to have behaved improperly. The fact that the FRC's investigation is likely to take at least a year (and the SFO inquiry could take two years) means that Tesco will be dealing with its accounting problems until at least 2016. In October, Tesco reported that underlying profits for the first half of its financial year slumped to £783m, down almost 47% on the previous year. The company's share price has fallen nearly 45% over the last year as the accounting scandal and falling sales have disappointed investors. The scandal, which is being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office, saw eight executives suspended - one of whom has been reinstated while others have since left the company. And chairman Sir Richard Broadbent has announced he is to step down. An investigation by accountancy firm Deloitte found that rebates from suppliers had been moved to different periods on the company's balance sheet, and that this practice went at least as far back as Tesco's 2012/13 accounting period. The FRC is also investigating PwC over its work with Barclays following the bank's fine of £38m for putting £16.5bn of client assets at risk. Jeremy Corbyn had hoped to give party members a say in who was chosen, but has accepted there is insufficient time to do that before polling day. However, one Labour MP has told Mr Corbyn there is still time for him to stand down as leader before the vote. Labour will endorse the PM's call for a snap election in a Commons vote later. Mr Corbyn welcomed the prime minister's election announcement on Tuesday, calling it a "chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first". Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said Labour would support the vote in Parliament for an election, calling it "an opportunity for removing a Tory government and replacing it with a Labour government". Setting out the party's manifesto ideas he said the government had a mandate for Brexit but not for the hard Brexit currently set out. Labour wanted the government to negotiate with the EU for tariff-free access to the single market; managed and fair immigration; and to seek to maximise the benefits from the customs union, he said. But he said the election had been called because the government saw "the economy is going to turn, we are seeing inflation increasing, wages stagnate and people in heavy debt. They also know our public services are in crisis, the NHS and schools..." He said Labour wanted a pay ratio, from the top to bottom earners in a company. And it was "looking to the corporations and the rich to pay their share" in fair taxation to afford public services. Labour MPs and peers met on Tuesday evening in the wake of the election announcement. BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said Mr Corbyn had been met by only cool applause. Afterwards, one MP was heard to say: "Go back to your constituencies and prepare for... the Guardian jobs page." Earlier, in a video, John Woodcock, the Labour MP for Barrow-in-Furness, said there was still time for Mr Corbyn to stand down "rather than lead Labour to defeat". In the Facebook video, Mr Woodcock, a long-standing critic of Mr Corbyn, said he was seeking re-election in his constituency, but could not endorse Mr Corbyn as the next prime minister. The Labour leadership has insisted there is "a very positive mood" in the party and it looked forward to presenting "a real alternative" to the Conservatives. Former Home Secretary Alan Johnson has said he will not be seeking re-election in the Hull West and Hessle seat he has represented since 1997. And Tom Blenkinsop, who has been MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland since 2010, said he would not be standing for re-election, citing "irreconcilable differences" with the party's leadership. So as the discussion unfolds in a series of themed debates, the main points of interest will be where parties or individuals put down markers on the content of the different measures. Watch out for comment from the increasingly influential select committee chairs weighing in on such subjects as the sugary drinks tax (Sarah Wollaston of the Health Committee); the implications of the Counter-Extremism Bill (Harriet Harman of the Joint Human Rights Committee), and the Prisons and Courts Bill (Bob Neill of the Justice Committee). The other thing to watch for in the Commons is the performance of the new intake. In their first Queen's Speech debate, a year ago, they were still finding their feet; now they have a chance to show what they can do, and the government whips have tipped the wink to their backbenchers that Tory talent-spotters will be looking to identify those new MPs who might be ministerial timbre. But some may be aiming for a different audience. There's a subspecies of new-generation MP whose aim is to carve a career on the committee corridor, so they will be making their pitch as independent-minded and original thinkers, and they will be aiming as much at the other parties as at their own side. Meanwhile, having pulled off one successful coup with their TTIP amendment, the cross-party alliance of Brexiteers will be hoping for a few more. There's a conscious strategy to use parliamentary theatre to put pro-Brexit points across., and I would be surprised if they rested on their laurels. Here's my rundown of the rather pared-down parliamentary calendar for the coming week: In the Commons (2.30pm) the debate on the Queen's Speech continues; the theme of the day is defending public services - where TTIP might come up. There's no departmental question time. The adjournment debate, led by the Conservative John Glen, is on the work and oversight of the Advertising Standards Authority. In the Lords (2.30pm) after the usual half hour of questions to ministers, peers resume their Queen's Speech debate, where the topics will be foreign and European affairs, international development and defence. The Commons opens (11.30am) with Foreign Office questions, and then MPs continue their Queen's Speech debate, where the theme for the day will be Europe, human rights and keeping people safe, at home and abroad. The adjournment debate is on the budget for community pharmacies - led by Labour's Michael Dugher. In the Lords from 2.30pm, the Queen's Speech will cover home, legal, constitutional and devolved affairs. The Commons day begins (at 11.30am) with Welsh questions, followed at noon by the first PMQs of the new parliamentary year. Then there's the final segment of the Queen's Speech debate, covering the economy and work. The adjournment debate is on the centenary of the Battle of Jutland - led by the Portsmouth MP Flick Drummond. In the Lords (3pm) peers' Queen's Speech debate concludes with a session on economic affairs, energy, environment, local government and transport. The Commons opens (9.30am) with a mini-question time for the Attorney-General, followed at 9.55am by Women and Equalities questions. Then the Leader of the House, Chris Grayling will deliver his weekly announcement of forthcoming Commons business. The adjournment debate is on the Coal Authority and compensation procedures - led by Labour MP Adrian Bailey. In the Lords from 11am the main debates are on issues chosen by Lib Dem peers. First, the case for improved individual school capacity to deal with commonly occurring special educational needs and disabilities - led by Lord Addington. Then, there's a short debate on ensuring every eligible young voter is registered to vote ahead of the EU referendum - led by Lord Roberts of Llandudno, and finally on the Five Year Forward Review for mental health recommendations and the case for ensuring equal access to mental and physical healthcare - led by Baroness Brinton. Anderson, 26, made four T20 Blast appearances for Somerset, but requires surgery for a stress fracture. Fakhar, who has been capped seven times by Pakistan in limited-overs cricket, has signed until the end of the season. The 27-year-old is eligible to play in both the T20 Blast and County Championship while at Taunton. "During his time here Corey has soldiered on bravely and managed his ongoing stress fracture well but now it needs immediate treatment," said director of cricket Matt Maynard. "It's great to have Fakhar joining us and in addition we will have Dean Elgar back for the final three T20 Blast group stage games. "However, Dean has to return to South Africa for a camp prior to the South Africa v Bangladesh series. As a result, he will play no further County Championship cricket for us." Dale Whillans, 18, was a passenger in a black Seat which left the road and landed in a field at 14:00 on Monday. The amateur footballer from Hawick died in Edinburgh's Western General Hospital on Thursday. In a statement his family said: "It goes without saying that Dale was taken from us at far too young an age. We cannot put into words the devastation we are all feeling." "Dale was a very popular and happy young man. He was such a big part of all of our lives and will never be forgotten. "We are all deeply saddened by his death and would ask to be left to grieve in private at this sensitive time." In a post on Facebook, Hawick Legion AFC also paid tribute to Mr Whillans, describing him as a "very popular lad who always had a smile on his face". The statement said: "Dale had not long returned to our club but made a huge impact in that short time. "A gifted footballer, he displayed a maturity on the ball that belied his young age." The teenager had previously played with Hawick United and was in a second spell with the Border Amateur League side. The statement added: "At times like this football fades into the background, Dale will be sorely missed not just by everyone at the club but by the town of Hawick as a whole." A second passenger was also badly hurt in the crash on the A698 road between Hawick and Kelso, at Timpendean. The 18-year-old driver received minor injuries in the accident. Inquiries into the incident are ongoing and police have appealed for information. Officers are particularly keen to hear from drivers who may have seen the vehicle shortly before the collision. The Republic's Central Applications Office (CAO) confirmed 2,455 students from the UK have applied so far this year, compared with 1,923 last year. The increase comes as UK students face tuition fees of up to £9,000 per year at some universities in England. In the Republic, fees are much lower, at 2,250 euros (£1,810) per year. That sum is a college registration fee as opposed to a tuition fee and is officially referred to as the "student contribution". As regards tuition fees, UK students can qualify for the Free Fees Initiative in Ireland because they are EU citizens, provided that both they and their course meet a number of requirements. Applicants from Northern Ireland who opt to study in the Republic can do so entirely for free as - in addition to qualifying for free tuition fees as EU citizens - their student contribution fee is paid for by Stormont's Department For Employment and Learning (DEL). A spokesman for DEL said: "Eligible Northern Ireland domiciled students studying in the Republic of Ireland benefit from special student support arrangements, in that the cost of their registration fee is currently met in full by the department." He also confirmed that they are eligible to apply through Student Finance NI for a maintenance loan. The incentive to study in the Republic of Ireland is attractive, as students from Northern Ireland who opt to study at home are facing tuition fees of up to £3,465 per year from September. According to CAO, there has been a 30% increase in the number of students with addresses in Northern Ireland who have applied to third level institutions in the Republic of Ireland. The figure is up from 882 in 2011 to 1,148 so far this year. The special arrangement increases the options for many prospective students from Northern Ireland. Earlier this month it was revealed that sixth form pupils in the UK who hold Irish passports qualify for free university tuition in Scotland . The anomaly means that they are counted as EU students, while UK students from outside Scotland who hold British passports have to pay. A spokeswoman for the Irish Department for Education said it usually worked out much cheaper to study in the Republic than in the UK. In addition to lower annual fees, Irish colleges have the discretion to waive the 2,250 euros student contribution altogether, in extenuating circumstances. The spokeswoman pointed out that currently, 41% of students attending Irish universities who are in receipt of some form of means-tested maintanence grant do not pay the student contribution. In Northern Ireland, students are eligible to apply for a means-tested higher education bursary of up to £2,000 if their gross household income is less than £23,605. The DEL spokesman confirmed that the bursary is also available to NI students who secure a place at a university in the Republic. The number of UK applications to Dublin's Trinity College - the Republic of Ireland highest-ranked university - has increased by 18% this year. A spokewoman for Trinity attributed the additional 259 UK applications directly to tuition fee changes which had "resulted in more students from Northern Ireland and the UK considering Irish universities as an option when making their applications". The preliminary CAO application figures were collated up to 1 February 2012. The CAO deals with all full-time applications to universities, colleges and third-level educational institutions in the Republic of Ireland. A CAO spokeman could not provide a figure on the total number of places available in third level education in Ireland, as this varies on a yearly basis depending on the offers made by institutions. However he said the CAO processed a total of 45,766 successful applications in 2011. The trail uses public rights-of-way and some private land to take walkers from the National Memorial Arboretum to Beacon Hill in Leicestershire. National Forest Way is divided into 12 stages with leaflets provided for each one, a spokesman said. The National Forest covers 200 sq mi (518 sq km) in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. "The trail leads through young and ancient woodlands, market towns and the industrial heritage of this changing landscape at the heart of the midlands," National Forest Company chief executive Sophie Churchill said. Catherine Graham-Harrison, National Forest Company chairman, said: "The opening of the way is like a coming of age for us. "Many years of work have gone into creating the forest, with more than eight million trees planted and new habitats created and maintained - meadows, grassland, wetland, and, of course, woodland. "There's still more to do, alongside our partners and local communities, to create and maintain this wonderful forest for everyone, but the opening of the long distance trail is a marvellous way to show how far we've come," she added. Car parking is available at most of the stages and most of the route is accessible by public transport. The National Forest Way was created by a partnership involving the National Forest Company and Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire County Councils, with the support of local landowners and chartered surveyors Fisher German. 3 March 2016 Last updated at 07:32 GMT It's a yearly celebration of brilliant books and reading that's been running for 19 years. Events are taking place all over the UK and Ireland, and in over 100 countries across the world. Ricky went along to one of them to find out why you love books. The attack happened outside William Hill in Sauchiehall Street on Sunday 12 March. A 27-year-old man was treated in hospital for a head injury. A Police Scotland spokesman said a 30-year-old man had been arrested and was the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal. Officials said protesters in Lufeng city injured police officers and damaged government buildings during the unrest that began on Wednesday. A reporter for Reuters news agency who visited Lufeng on Friday said protests had continued at government offices. There are tens of thousands of protests each year in China, some of which turn violent. Many are triggered by local grievances, such as farmers being expelled from their land to make way for development. One media report said several thousand people had taken part in the violence earlier this week in Wukan village, which is part of Lufeng city, in Guangdong province. According to the South China Morning Post, protesters targeted a Communist Party building, a police station and an industrial park, amongst others. They believe that local party officials have sold their land to developers, the daily said. Images on internet forums showed villagers marching with a banner that read: "Return my ancestral farmland". Local officials said only a few hundred people had been involved. In a statement, they said that while a land deal had been the initial trigger, rumours that police had killed a child sparked further anger. "On 22 September at about one in the afternoon, some villagers who had ulterior motives spread rumours about police killing a child, inciting some of the villagers to storm a border police station," the statement said. Local officials said 12 officers had been wounded and six police cars burnt. Residents said a number of protesters had also been hurt, the South China Morning Post reported. A Reuters reporter who visited Lufeng on Friday said several hundred people were still protesting outside government offices, calling for their land to be returned. "We are very angry because we have no land for our livelihood anymore," one farmer was quoted as saying. The scene was tense but there was no violence, the agency reported. Protesters had used motorbikes to block roads and broken bricks were piled up. Searches for the word Lufeng on micro-blogging sites were reportedly being blocked. There are hundreds of protests in China every week, says the BBC's Michael Bristow in Beijing. Some are small in scale and centre on local grievances, but certain issues keep cropping up. One often-heard complaint is that corrupt officials collude with developers to sell off farmland without giving farmers the proper compensation. Laws are in place to protect farmers, but are often ignored at local level. Earlier this year, addressing the opening of the National People's Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao warned that if China wanted to ensure social stability it had to tackle corruption and address economic inequalities. He was taken to hospital on Tuesday following the incident at about 20:30 BST in the Hugo Boss store in Bicester Outlet shopping village in Pingle Drive, the company said. Thames Valley Police is appealing for witnesses. Investigating officer Det Insp Steve Duffy said: "Our thoughts are with the family at this time." He added: "We are currently investigating the circumstances of this boy's death and we would ask anyone who was in the Hugo Boss store at around that time on Tuesday to please contact us as a matter of urgency." In a statement the designer retailer, who have closed the store until further notice, said: "Everyone at Hugo Boss is devastated by this tragic accident and we would like to extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to his family. "Hugo Boss will assist the authorities in any way with an investigation into the accident." A company spokesman refused to reveal the size of the mirror or give details of how it fell and whether it fell from height. The boy died at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. The Health and Safety Executive said they were not involved in the investigation into the death of the boy as shops are the responsibility of local authority environmental health departments. They made the discovery by looking at a rare group of patients given a transplant while their own damaged liver is left in the body. Sometimes the original liver recovers. A study, in the American Journal of Transplantation, suggests doctors can predict which patients do not need a transplant as their liver is healing. King's College Hospital has a leading liver transplant centre and is one of few places to perform "auxiliary transplants". They are performed in sudden cases of liver failure caused by overdoses or viral infections, rather than the long-term damage caused by alcohol abuse. Normally in organ transplants one organ comes out and a new one goes in. However, in this complex operation the transplant is put in beside the old liver. After any transplant a patient needs to take a lifetime of drugs to suppress the immune system in order to avoid rejection. The drugs leave the body vulnerable to infection. However, if the patient's liver does eventually recover then they can come off the immunosuppressant drugs and their body will get rid of the transplant. The transplant is used to get the patient past the critical stage of the illness. But the recovery happens only in some patients. In the study, the transplant was no longer needed in seven out of 11 patients. So doctors analysed the detailed chemistry inside the liver cells of patients and looked for differences between those who recovered and those who did not. Dr Varuna Aluvihare told the BBC: "There was a big difference right from the point of transplantation in the expression of some very small molecules between the group that would, three years down the line, regrow their liver versus the group that never did." Those molecules regulated the way cells in the liver grow. "Some of them were already starting to regrow. So what we may be able to do is come up with a better set of tests to allow us to identify those patients who are already regrowing and may not need transplantation. "So we may be able to remove a group from the transplant list." The liver does have a phenomenal ability to regenerate. In healthy people it will recover in the space of months even if a large amount is taken away. People who need a transplant because of acute liver failure are seriously ill. Even if doctors could tell which patients' livers were already on the path to recovery, they would still need to keep those patients alive long enough for the liver to return to form. Dr Aluvihare argued this would be possible as a small amount of restored liver function would be enough for patients to leave hospital. He said there are cases at King's of patients recovering while they were on the waiting list. "I would say five to 10 patients a year we seriously consider for emergency transplantation and then they start recovering. "That tells us there probably is a pool there and there is probably quite a lot of mileage in identifying people would would recover." Whether this would work is still uncertain. The team have received funding to look for those chemical differences in the blood of patients. Becchio, 32, joined the Millers on loan in 2014 before making two appearances this term after signing until May. Collin was involved in the Millers' promotion to the Championship, making 81 appearances in three years. The club have confirmed that they are in talks with leading goalscorer Matt Derbyshire, whose contract expires this summer. Defenders Kirk Broadfoot, Richard Wood and Stephen Kelly, and striker Leon Best are also set to be offered new deals. Frazer Richardson, Lewis Buxton, Danny Collins, Lloyd Doyley, Paddy Kenny, Alex Cairns, Paul Green, Emmanuel Ledesma and Jerome Thomas are all being released. The world's 10 best-paid actors earned a total of $488.5m (£380.5m) in the past year, Forbes magazine calculated. That's almost three times more than their female counterparts, who took home $172.5m (£134m) between them. Transformers star Mark Wahlberg tops the male list with $68m (£53m) - compared with $26m (£20m) for the best-paid woman, La La Land's Emma Stone. Another 13 men earned more than Stone between June 2016 and June 2017, according to Forbes - including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jackie Chan and her La La Land co-star Ryan Gosling. Stone recently said some of her male co-stars have taken pay cuts so she can "have parity with them". Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence are among the other stars who have spoken out about the issue. Forbes writer Natalie Robehmed said the pay disparity was down to the types of roles on offer. She wrote: "In release schedules dominated by superhero movies and brawny blockbusters, there are simply fewer parts for women that pay the sizeable backend profits that result in leading men's large paydays, or the franchise sequels that permit aggressive negotiation for favourable deals." Robehmed added: "Until there are an equal number of high-paying roles, there will continue to be an inequality in the paychecks of Tinseltown's very richest."

Isabel dos Santos has offered €1.35 a share for Portugal Telecom, which is controlled by Brazilian telecommunications group Oi. The company described the bid as inopportune, ill-timed and inappropriate. Her move is an attempt to derail a €7bn offer for Oi's Portuguese assets by French company Altice. Oi is still considering the offer made last week by Altice, which is controlled by Franco-Israeli billionaire Patrick Drahi. The eldest daughter of Angola's president is Africa's first female billionaire. Africa gets 'female billionaire' Altice already owns two small cable companies in Portugal and buying the assets of the former state-owned monopoly would help it compete with rivals Vodafone and Optimus. The offer from Ms dos Santos's Terra Peregrin represented an 11% premium to the closing price of Portugal Telecom on Friday and sent the shares up by 12% to €1.37 on Monday. Oi is considering selling the Portuguese assets it acquired by taking over Portugal Telecom to pay down some of its $18bn debt mountain. The Brazilian company's merger with Portugal Telecom soured in the summer after the Rioforte holding company of the Espirito Santo banking family - ultimately a shareholder in PT - defaulted on nearly €900m of debt owed to PT. Oi said it had not been aware of the debt before the merger. As a result Portugal Telecom's stake in Oi was slashed, leaving it with just 25.6% of Oi rather than the 38% originally agreed. It also led to the resignation last month of Zeinal Bava, the chief executive of the new company and former chief executive of Portugal Telecom. The 25.6% stake in Oi is the only asset now held by Portugal Telecom. Shares in Portugal Telecom have fallen by about 60% in recent months following the debt scandal. The 23-year-old was arrested in a Paris suburb last Wednesday after police were alerted by users of a videogame chat room where he allegedly said he wanted to buy a gun. He also said he wanted to attack minorities, a judicial source told AFP. Mr Macron has been giving a state-of-the-nation-style address in Versailles. He has been outlining his priorities in the speech, taking place during a special session of both houses of parliament at the Palace of Versailles. However the French president is facing criticism over the address, with far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélénchon accusing him of behaving like a "pharoah". Investigators found three kitchen knives in the plot suspect's vehicle and analysis of his computer revealed he had conducted internet searches on possible targets. After his arrest, he told police he wanted to attack "Muslims, Jews, blacks, homosexuals", AFP said. The suspect was convicted last year of condoning terrorism after praising Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in July 2011. He was jailed for three years with half the sentence suspended. The Bastille Day parade on 14 July commemorates the start of the French Revolution and takes place on the Champs-Elysées avenue in Paris. In 2002, then-President Jacques Chirac was the subject of a Bastille Day assassination attempt when a man with far-right links took out a rifle and fired a shot before being overpowered. This year the Champs-Elysées has seen two attacks on police. Last month a man rammed a vehicle containing guns and gas canisters into a police van. In April a gunman shot dead police officer Xavier Jugelé using a Kalashnikov assault rifle. Officers from Thames Valley Police were called by paramedics to an address in Jellicoe Close in Cippenham, Berkshire, at around 18:40 GMT on Thursday, where it was confirmed the man had died. A 23-year-old man from Cippenham has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the exact cause of death. The victim's next of kin have been informed. Senior investigating officer, Supt Nora Holford, said: "We are in the very early stages of this investigation. "Although this is very shocking news for the community, I would urge them not to be alarmed, and we are working closely with them to reassure them." But how could they have got on to the plane and what would conditions have been like during the journey? There are serious risks associated with the extreme conditions if someone stows away in the undercarriage of a plane. These include being crushed when landing gear retracts, hypothermia, frostbite, hearing loss, tinnitus, hypoxia (where the whole or part of the body is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply) and acidosis (the build-up of acid in body fluids which can cause coma or death). Compartment doors re-open a few thousand feet above ground, which can then cause stowaways to fall to their deaths. Former head of group security at BAA Norman Shanks has said the threat to anyone other than the stowaway themselves - so to passengers, flight crews and people on the ground - is minimal. At 18,000ft (5,490m), hypoxia sets in which causes weakness, tremors, light-headedness and visual impairment. When the plane has reached 22,000ft (6,710m), the stowaway will be struggling to keep conscious as their blood oxygen level drops. Above a typical long-haul cruising altitude of 33,000ft (10,065m) - or higher - lungs require artificial pressure to function normally. Temperatures can drop to as low as -63C (-81F), bringing on hypothermia. Some have - but they tend to have travelled fairly short distances and been fairly young. Figures show that 96 people hid under planes during flights around the world between 1947 and 2012 - 23 of them survived. The incidents happened on 85 flights. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) records from the last 10 years suggest four stowaways have been found on board aircraft at UK airports in that period. There were two dead bodies on flights from Africa, one dead body on a flight from Istanbul and one live stowaway on a flight from Austria, the CAA said. In July 2009, a man's body was found in a plane's undercarriage after a flight from Accra to London Gatwick. In June 2010, a 20-year-old Romanian was found inside a wheel bay after a flight from Vienna landed at Heathrow Airport - he was subsequently arrested. In that case, the jet had flown below 25,000ft due to bad weather. In August 2012, a man's body was found in the undercarriage bay of a plane at Heathrow after a flight from Cape Town. And in 2013, a stowaway was found dead on a flight from Istanbul. All were in landing gear recess bays, the CAA said. Incidents where a stowaway falls from an aircraft on its final approach are not reported to the CAA. Jose Matada, 26, from Mozambique, was found in Portman Avenue, Mortlake, in September 2012. He died of multiple injuries after falling from a plane travelling from Angola. In 2001, the body of Mohammed Ayaz, 21, from Pakistan, was found in the car park of a branch of Homebase in Richmond. Four years before that, another stowaway had fallen from the undercarriage of a plane on to a gasworks near the store. Most tend to be men who are attempting to make their way to Europe or North America from developing countries. Airside control areas in some parts of the world do not have the same level of security as they do in the UK, meaning stowaways can get on board if the proper checks and procedures are not carried out. In the case of the man who died in August 2012 after stowing away on a flight from Cape Town to London, the crew onboard had been told during their journey that a security fence had been breached at the South African airport and that someone had been seen climbing into the undercarriage. It is thought many stowaways are trying to escape persecution in their home country and are fleeing conflict situations, or are trying to find economic prosperity in the West. David Learmount, Flight International magazine consulting editor, says of the Richmond incident: "If these two were neither airline nor airport staff and somehow managed to get on a flight then it becomes a serious security issue. "Just how did they get [on the restricted] airside at the airport? Then there's the question of just where on the plane these two were." He said the fact that one man survived suggested he may have been in the baggage hold section - as that area would be pressurised and warmer. Mr Learmount continued: "If a person was in the wheel well of a plane on an 11-hour flight there's really very little chance of surviving. "You are either going to be frozen to death by temperatures of minus 50C or you are going to die through lack of oxygen with the plane flying at 35,000ft." Jack Burn and Sophiya Hotchkiss died within six months of each other. Both families say their concerns were dismissed by the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust. The trust said it investigates all deaths, and takes appropriate action where necessary. But a third family was told that their daughter's death had been unavoidable, even though an inquest later found it could have been prevented. Baby death cluster: Jeremy Hunt orders investigation The families' stories At least seven avoidable deaths occurred at the trust between September 2014 and May 2016, with some families raising concerns about other deaths. BBC News revealed on Wednesday that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has ordered a review of deaths and other maternity errors at the trust. Stephanie Prowse, and her partner, rushed to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in September 2014 because she was feeling unwell. She was 31 weeks pregnant with her third child. But the family said they were left in a side room for 40 minutes before staff checked her. A heart rate monitor showed that the baby, Sophiya, had a weak heart beat, and though she was delivered by emergency caesarean she died after 32 hours. "If they had checked her heartbeat when I first arrived, I believe she would have had a heartbeat when she was born and so she wouldn't have been born sleeping," Stephanie told BBC News. "If they had got her out, I truly believe it would have been a whole different story. I'd have a three-year-old running around." The family asked the trust to look into the circumstances surrounding Sophiya's death but say they have never received a response. For its part, the trust told the BBC that an internal examination of the incident had indeed taken place though the family had not been involved. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends that families are always invited to participate in such investigations. Those concerns have been echoed by the family of Jack Burn. He was born in March 2015 but died within hours, of hypoxia and Group B Strep. His mother, Hayley Matthews, says that throughout her 36-hour-long labour at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, she was refused a caesarean section several times. Instead, she says, she was forced to have a natural birth during which her son's shoulder was trapped. By the time Jack was born, he was blue and limp and died shortly afterwards. "They just expected me to push," said Hayley. "I asked for a caesarean, they said 'no you'll be fine, you can do it'." Ms Matthews says the death was never properly examined. In response, the trust told the BBC that it did investigate the death but admitted it had not included the family in its inquiry. After we highlighted her case, the local coroner is now considering opening an inquest into Jack Burn's death. The family of Pippa Griffiths were initially dismissed by the trust too. Their daughter died last April, around 30 hours after being born at home after contracting the Group B Strep infection. Her parents, Colin and Kayleigh, had called the trust in the middle of the night to say their daughter was vomiting brown mucus. No action was taken, no advice was given, and hours later Pippa died. The trust visited the family to say that nothing could have prevented their daughter's death. Her parents refused to believe this and forced the trust to fully and properly investigate the death. Last week, the coroner ruled that Pippa's death was in fact avoidable, and that the trust had failed to provide the family with the information that could have saved her life. "Why would they not raise that (the death) as a serious incident?" asks Kayleigh. "They knew what had happened, and they weren't going to do an investigation. "That's when I said that's not good enough there will be an investigation and we will be involved," Kayleigh adds. Commenting on Pippa's death, the trust said: "We are truly sorry that we were unable to provide the appropriate care that would have prevented Pippa's death." "We have apologised to Pippa's parents. "We have carried out specific actions to address the issues this tragic case has highlighted to ensure we learn from these devastating events," it added.

Turkish club Trabzonspor lodged a claim with Fifa in 2013 that Calhanoglu had agreed to sign for them from Karlsruhe in 2011, but he stayed in Germany. Fifa ruled in favour of Trabzonspor and after appeal the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the decision. Calhanoglu, 22, will now miss the rest of the season and must pay Trabzonspor a fine of 100,000 Euros (£85,900). Leverkusen sports director Rudi Voeller said the club "cannot comprehend" the decision, adding it was a "big blow for Hakan and us". "Although Bayer Leverkusen had nothing to do with this it is also punished," added Voller, 56. "Now we will miss an important player during a key part of the season." At the time of the approach from Trabzonspor, Calhanoglu would have been 17. He eventually left Karlsruhe to join Hamburg in 2013, before joining Leverkusen in 2014. Calhanoglu, who has seven goals for Leverkusen this season, will miss Champions League matches against Atletico Madrid and is also suspended for Turkey's World Cup qualifying match at home against Finland on March 24. The 41-year-old man was found with serious injuries at a flat in Gibson Terrace on Sunday. Ambulance crews treated him at the scene but he was later pronounced dead. A 36-year-old man and two women aged 34 and 39 were detained by police and were due to appear in court on Tuesday. However they were released from custody and did not appear. A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal received a report concerning a 36-year-old man and two women aged 34 and 39 in connection with an alleged incident in Edinburgh on March 12 2017. "After full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, they were liberated from custody pending further inquiries and did not appear in court." Simmonds, a four-time Paralympic champion, took her S6 400m freestyle best to five minutes 18.69 seconds. And Northern Ireland's Firth clocked 2:03.70 in the S14 200m freestyle, beating the 2:04.44 she set last year. With one day of competition to go, 21 GB swimmers have achieved the qualification times for Rio. Simmonds, who was disappointed after last year's World Championships, is attempting to win the 400m for the third Paralympics in a row. "I didn't really want to go that fast at trials - I wanted to keep it for Rio," the 21-year-old told BBC Sport, after lowering her world record by 0.48 seconds. "But I'm really happy to have pushed myself to that time and now I can work on the things I need to do in Rio, which is where it will really count. "Everything is going really well. Last year at the worlds I didn't have the best of results and that has motivated me now. "But I know Rio will be tough because Paralympic sport is moving forward so quickly." Firth, 20, achieved her third qualification standard of the meeting after a battle with Paralympic champion Jessica-Jane Applegate, who also dipped under the required time. Firth will finally make her GB debut at next week's European Championships in Madeira after switching nationality in late 2013. "I wanted to give it my all out there and I did it," the Seaforde swimmer told BBC Sport. "It was a really tough race and I was praying all the way to keep going. "I could see Jess and she was going for the time and that encouraged me to touch the wall and keep ahead. "The S14 category is getting bigger all the time and it is great that we can push each other on." In the morning heats, Stephanie Millward (S9 400m freestyle) and Mikey Jones (S7 400m freestyle) added their names to the list of those to have reached qualification standards along with Tom Hamer (S14 200m freestyle), who broke his own British record in doing so. The model worn by Essex's Cook in the Division Two win over Gloucestershire has an adjustable grille and a large gap between peak and grille. This contravenes new regulations brought in following facial injuries to Stuart Broad and Craig Kieswetter. Cook could face censure if he continues to wear the old helmet. Umpires have been told not to allow players on to the field with non-compliant helmets, and they can also refer the case to the cricket discipline commission. Cook has been made available for Essex's first four County Championship matches before he is due to captain England in the first Test of the summer, against Sri Lanka at Headingley on May 19. Cook's Essex team-mate Ravi Bopara told Sky Sports News the new design was hard for batsmen to get used to. "It is tough to start using those helmets - you do lose the ball for that less than a split-second, and that makes a whole load of difference to a lot of players," he said. "I understand where Cookie's coming from. But when it comes to the guidelines and safety, we all have to be aware of that." The 24-year-old has started nine of the Devon side's 12 League Two games this season, but has been taken off by half-time in four of them. "There will be times where he's not going to see much of the ball and not going to be in the game," Adams said. "But when he gets that opportunity he causes teams problems and in a lot of games he's a great outlet for us." The former Scotland under-21 international joined the Pilgrims this summer after being released by St Mirren following relegation from the Scottish Premiership. He was replaced after just 32 minutes of Plymouth's 2-0 win at Notts County last Saturday, which kept them top of the table, because of illness "What people sometimes don't realise is when he plays against a defender he scares them because of his pace, and that can shift them back five or 10 yards," Adams told BBC Sport. "He's our only out-and-out winger. Nowadays we don't see as many wingers because full-backs are more powerful and quicker than they used to be. "If you cause a full-back trouble, they've got a problem if they want to go forward. It's a bit like cat and mouse where one goes, one stays and we'll see who wins the battle." Adams also revealed he is still looking at keeper Deniz Mehmet, who has been on trial, but will not be able to make a move for any player until January because of budgetary constraints. Media playback is not supported on this device Their relationship has been the subject of intense media scrutiny, with both insisting there is no rift. They meet in Lyon on Wednesday, Wales' first semi-final at a major tournament. "It's not about two players, it is about two nations in a semi-final, 11 men against 11 men," said Wales' Bale. "Everybody knows that really." Bale became the world's most expensive footballer when he joined Real from Tottenham for £85m in 2013, surpassing the £80m the Spanish club paid Manchester United for Ronaldo in 2009. The two players have formed a potent attacking three with French striker Karim Benzema, helping Real to win two Champions League titles in the past three seasons. However, the relationship between Bale and Ronaldo has not always been harmonious. The Portugal captain was pictured gesticulating angrily when Bale did not pass to him during a game in 2015, prompting speculation of discord between the pair. Both have dismissed such talk, while former Real manager Carlo Ancelotti said in a recent BBC Wales documentary about Bale that the two players are "really close". "Of course we get on very well at Madrid, we enjoy playing with each other," said Bale. "He's a fantastic player, everybody knows what he can do. But we have always spoken about what we do, what we do ourselves as a team. We don't worry about the opposition." Wednesday's match in Lyon will be Ronaldo's third European Championship semi-final, and he was part of the Portugal side which lost the 2004 final to Greece. Bale's three goals have helped Wales reach the last four of a major tournament for the first time, and he has reiterated his belief that Chris Coleman's men could be crowned champions. "We all believed from the start. As we have said many times, we didn't come here to make up the numbers," he added. "We came here to do a job, we came to do the business. Ultimately we want to win the tournament. "We know we're a step closer again but, the thing we keep saying time and time again, we can't think past the semi-final now. "We have to concentrate everything on the semi. If we can get the job done, then we can look forward to the final." With Wales making their first appearance at a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup, Bale is glad he no longer has to endure taunts from his Real team-mates. "I remember [Germany midfielder] Toni Kroos saying we'd only have three games. So it would be nice to meet him in the final," he said. "It was a good laugh and a joke - a bit of banter. I have had a lot of abuse over the years, when we used to lose and when we were 100th in the world. You have nine weeks' holiday instead of two. "It is good to finally be in a major tournament actually doing great things with our national team. It is great to be part of and we have loved every moment of it and we will continue to do that." While Kroos may await in the final if Wales make it, Bale can look forward to facing Real centre-back Pepe - if fit - as well as Ronaldo in Wednesday's semi-final against Portugal. The Wales forward has also brought his Real physiotherapist, Jaime Benito, with him to France to work alongside the international backroom staff. "I had a few injuries this year and coming to a big tournament I haven't experienced it before so I wanted to make sure I was fully fit and if there was a problem I can get it fixed straight away," Bale added. "It's been a massive help for me and even the medical staff here have probably needed it more because they didn't want to take any of the others out for so long and leave any of the other boys without treatment. It was a good decision all round and it's working well." ________________________________________ Thursday's game against Warrington will be the 34-year-old's 400th appearance for Wigan. "I still enjoy coming in every day and trying to get better," the England skipper told BBC Radio Manchester. "I know I've not got a lot of years left but I'm still enjoying it and I feel like I'm playing at a good level." O'Loughlin made his debut for Wigan against Hull FC in 2002 and says rugby league has moved on a lot since his career began, but he has no plans to retire just yet. "It's a bit easier now then it was back then. At the time, I remember the step up in intensity was ridiculous. My heart was pounding out of my chest," he recalled. "After the game it was the best feeling ever. That buzz I got from playing is still strong now. "You hear some people speak and when they're still playing, and they're ready for finishing and retiring but I don't feel like I'm there yet. I still love training and playing." This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser Wigan face Warrington in a repeat of last season's Grand Final, a game in which O'Loughlin captained the Warriors to victory despite suffering with a calf problem. And O'Loughlin's side have the chance to deny Warrington a place in the top eight should they win on Thursday. "It's a massive game for both sides, we're trying to claw our way up as high into that top eight as we can," he added. "The more points we get, the more chance we have of of making a real challenge on that top four. "When you break off into the Super 8s, you're playing more teams around you and you've got more opportunity to claw some space back." He was driving a blue coloured Ford Fiesta southbound near the Raith Interchange when it happened at 23:05 on Saturday. Police said the car apparently went out of control causing it to cross the central reservation, hit a lamppost and overturn before coming to rest on the opposite carriageway. The man was taken to Monklands Hospital where he died a short time later. A lone attacker was shot dead after he used a car to run down pedestrians, killing two, and stabbed a police officer to death outside Parliament. Leaders of France and Germany, which suffered deadly vehicle attacks last year, offered the UK their support. The US president offered condolences and praised UK security forces. There is a mixture of nationalities among the dead, police say, and 29 people have been treated in hospital, of whom seven are critically injured. Among those injured by the car on Westminster Bridge are three French schoolchildren and two Romanians, while five South Koreans were hurt in the chaos that followed the attack. In Paris, the lights of the Eiffel Tower went out from midnight (23:00 GMT) in a tribute to the victims. President Francois Hollande expressed his "solidarity" with the British people, saying "terrorism concerns us all and France knows how the British people are suffering today". In July last year, a man drove a lorry into pedestrians in the southern French city of Nice, killing 84 people. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country saw a lorry attack in December that killed 12 people in Berlin and was also claimed by IS, said her thoughts were "with our British friends and all of the people of London". "I want to say for Germany and its citizens: We stand firmly and resolutely by Great Britain's side in the fight against all forms of terrorism," she added. US President Donald Trump spoke by phone to British Prime Minister Theresa May to offer his condolences and to praise the effective response of UK security services. Mr Trump pledged the "full co-operation and support" of the US government in bringing those responsible for the attack to justice, the White House said in a statement. Belgium's prime minister sent a message of support as his country marked the first anniversary of the suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and underground system, which killed 32 people. "Our condolences are with those who mourn and all who are affected in London," Charles Michel tweeted. "Belgium stands with UK in fight against terror." European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in a statement that the people of Brussels and Belgium had "suffered a similar pain and felt the support of your sympathy and solidarity". "At this emotional time, we at the European Commission can only send that sympathy back twofold." Russian President Vladimir Putin also sent condolences by telegram to Mrs May, expressing support for the bereaved and wounded. "The forces of terror are acting more and more deviously and cynically. It is clear that, in order to counteract the terrorist threat, all members of the global community must combine forces," he said. In other reaction: But not all international reaction was so reserved, with some right-wing politicians suggesting that controls on immigration - or even all Muslims - was the way forward. It has subsequently emerged that the attacker was born in Britain. The leader of Australia's One Nation party, Pauline Hanson, announced her own personal hashtag.. "It's #Pray4Muslimban. Put a ban on it, that's how you solve the problem, and then let's deal with the issues here," she said. "We've got real problems... make sure that we do not have this religion which is really an ideology that is going to eventually cause so much havoc on our streets, not only for ourselves, but for future generations." In France, National Front leader Marine Le Pen, who is campaigning for the French presidency, said the London attack showed the need for borders to be protected. She told French media that security measures needed enhancing amid a rising threat from "radicalised personalities who act alone without networks", and urged countries to co-operate with each other on sharing intelligence. Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said the London attacks justified the country's policy of refusing to take in refugees. "I hear in Europe very often: do not connect the migration policy with terrorism, but it is impossible not to connect them," she told private broadcaster TVN24. Kompany, who has 70 caps, has been ruled out of the tournament with a thigh injury but will provide expert analysis from the Paris studio. The 30-year-old joins a BBC studio line-up led by Gary Lineker that also includes Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand, Thierry Henry and Gianluca Vialli. "I am disappointed not to be in France with the Belgium team," Kompany said. "But to be there with the BBC will be the next best thing. "There is a huge amount of anticipation for the tournament and I'm really looking forward to working alongside Gary and the team." The BBC team will also feature Martin Keown, Jermaine Jenas, Danny Murphy, Robbie Savage, John Hartson, Dean Saunders, Chris Brunt, Neil Lennon, Gerry Armstrong, Mark Lawrenson, Kevin Kilbane and Jens Lehmann. Kompany will be in the BBC studio on 12 June to see world champions Germany start their campaign against Ukraine and 14 June when Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal face Austria. Belgium are in Group E alongside Italy, Republic of Ireland and Sweden. The announcement came at the first US-Africa Leaders' Summit, attended by over 40 African heads of state. The summit is an effort to strengthen US ties with Africa as China increases its African investments. Mr Obama also hosted a dinner for African leaders at the White House. The deals announced on Tuesday included a $5bn partnership between private-equity firm Blackstone and Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest businessman, for energy infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as more investments in Mr Obama's Power Africa initiative. According to the White House, Power Africa received an additional $12bn in pledges towards its effort to develop energy supplies on Africa through a mix of investment and state involvement. The World Bank announced a $5bn investment in Power Africa and General Electric said it had committed $2bn to help boost infrastructure and access to energy. "We gave it to the Europeans first and to the Chinese later, but today it's wide open for us," said General Electric chief executive Jeff Immelt. Mr Obama also said that the US would offer an additional $7bn of financing through the Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) Campaign, bringing the total new US commitments to investment in Africa announced on Tuesday to $33bn. "Up to tens of thousands of American jobs are supported every time we expand trade with Africa", said Mr Obama. "As critical as all these investments are, the key to unlocking the next era of African growth is not going to be here in the US, it is going to be in Africa, " he added. The three-day summit ends on Wednesday. Paul Wickerson, 32, was taken from the Brownstock festival in Essex before he died in a road accident in August 2013. Chelmsford Crown Court heard he was taken four miles (6km) from the festival by the guards to see if he could make his way back. Gregory Maxwell, 32, of Romford, and Brian Atkins, 49, of Ilford, deny false imprisonment and kidnap. The trial jury heard how Mr Wickerson, from Sydney, Australia, had been at the festival in Stow Maries when he was handcuffed, bundled into a Land Rover by Mr Maxwell and Mr Atkins, and driven to a remote spot. Andrew Jackson, prosecuting, said Mr Wickerson, who had taken cocaine, ketamine and LSD, was then released to see if he could make it back to the festival. Mr Jackson said one of the guards was overheard describing it as "four-mile bush tucker trial" - a term used to describe challenges in the reality TV show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out for Here". He said Mr Wickerson was seen wandering in a circle "clearly the worse for drugs" in a field behind the main stage, wearing just a shirt and shorts. "One of the defendants took him to the ground, and together they handcuffed his wrists behind his back and his ankles were handcuffed as well," said Mr Jackson. "It was done for sport; to see if he could make his own way back. Because of the drugs, he was completely disorientated on a road with a 60mph speed limit. "Fifteen minutes afterwards he was killed by a car: a tragic, needless accident." The trial continues. The crash happened on the A329 Oxford Road, at about 05:30 GMT. Police said two of three people in the red Peugeot 206 involved were being treated in hospital. A fourth is being sought by police. The road has been closed while a structural engineer assessed the safety of two buildings, a hairdressers and a charity shop. Thames Valley Police said inquiries were ongoing to establish the circumstances of the crash. No arrests have been made. Motorists were advised to find alternative routes as lengthy delays were expected. A diversion has been put in place. The victim was allegedly hit with a hammer before being stabbed in the hallway a property in West Drayton, west London, on 27 April. Abosede Adeyinka, 52, from Hayes, has been charged with attempted murder. Joanne Killick said after hearing about the attack she wanted to raise funds as it had left her heartbroken. "It's completely gut wrenching and it really broke my heart and upset me that somebody... could go and do that to a 90-year-old," she said. "I haven't got any nans and granddads left so I think elderly people just need to be bubble-wrapped and protected. "I started the page to show that the community isn't all the same and to restore her faith in [that] and turn a negative into a positive." So far, £1,900 has been raised and well-wishers have also been leaving messages of support at the nearby George and Dragon pub. Its assistant manager Anne-Marie Portch she had been heartened by the response and messages had come from as far as Qatar. "We knew the lady that it happened to and knowing that a member of our community had been assaulted - it's awful," she said. "The amount of people that have come in and sent messages... has been everybody from 15 years old right up to 80." Ms Adeyinka, a carer, has been remanded in custody until 30 May when she will appear at the Old Bailey. The money is aimed at supporting people and communities to "overcome challenging circumstances". The biggest beneficiary in the latest round is Kirkcudbright Development Trust, which receives £850,000 to turn a former school into a community hub. Maureen McGinn, who chairs the BLFS, said the money could "transform the lives of local people". The Kirkcudbright project will see the transformation of the former Johnston Primary into a hub which incorporates a childcare centre, a tourist attraction, business units and an emergency service base. The Glenkens Community and Arts Trust in Dumfries and Galloway has secured £148,772 while the Peeblesshire Youth Trust in the neighbouring Scottish Borders has been awarded £97,000. Other schemes to receive support include: Ms McGinn said: "Each of these inspiring projects will assist people at the times when they need most support, providing them with the tools, confidence and skills to work towards a more positive future." NHS Highland's proposal to build a new hospital in Broadford and turn Portree into a smaller "spoke" unit has Scottish government approval. But Holyrood's petitions committee is to ask Health Secretary Shona Robison to review the decision making process. This follows MSPs' consideration of a petition opposed to the hospitals plan. MSPs will write to Ms Robison to seek the review by an independent scrutiny panel. Islanders in the north and west of Skye say if the redesign goes ahead as planned they will be left with a day clinic at Portree and will have to travel further to access hospital services. As well as the 4,500-signature petition that was considered by MSPs, GPs at Portree Medical Practice have challenged NHS Highland's proposal. Ms Robison approved NHS Highland's redesign of hospital provision in February. The new set-up will serve patients on the island and also Lochalsh and parts of Wester Ross on the mainland. NHS Highland has defended the appraisal of options carried out by a steering group. The Scottish Health Council has also said the process was legitimate. Following the petitions committee decision, NHS Highland said: "We believe that the public consultation we conducted into proposed service redesign for Skye, Lochalsh and south west Ross was robust and fair, and this view has been supported by the Scottish Health Council. "Indeed, the Scottish Health Council carried out a full and independent review of the process and endorsed it. "In approving our redesign proposals in February the cabinet secretary for health, wellbeing and sport said she was satisfied that NHS Highland conducted the process in a 'meaningful and inclusive way, providing local people with numerous and reasonable opportunities to express their views'. "We are, of course, sorry that some people in the north of Skye believe that the redesign is flawed." Universal Pictures' production of Dracula will be based in Belfast, but it will be filmed across various locations in Northern Ireland. The three-month shoot is due to begin in August and will receive financial support from Northern Ireland Screen. The announcement has been hailed as a welcome boost for the NI economy by the first and deputy first ministers. First Minister Peter Robinson said: "The Northern Ireland Executive is committed to continue to invest in our creative industries. "This is fantastic news for the local film industry which further cements Northern Ireland's reputation as a world-class production location." Mr Robinson said it was the second time that Universal Pictures had confirmed the filming of a major production in Northern Ireland and he added the announcement would "deliver an important economic boost through job creation and investment". Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said: "The film industry is an important sector for our economy and we offer an exceptionally competitive location for film and television production projects. "With the next series of HBO's BAFTA award winning Game of Thrones series, about to start in July, Universal's decision to film Dracula here is another strong vote of confidence in our local filming industry and our ability to attract global players." The film's executive producer, Joe Caracciolo, said his company were "very much looking forward to bringing Dracula to Northern Ireland" and added that the location made "good financial sense". He said this was due to "Northern Ireland Screen's film incentive programme, the favourable exchange rate, and an impressive local infrastructure that is well suited for this type of project." Mr Caracciolo added: "Filming Dracula in Northern Ireland allows us to capture the extraordinary beauty and topography that resemble the European backdrop in which this story takes place." Northern Ireland Screen, which is funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund, is to contribute ??1.65m to support the film. The government-backed film agency said it estimated that the production would deliver ??15m expenditure on goods and services in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland Screen's chief executive, Richard Williams, said: "We are delighted to renew our relationship with Universal Pictures and look forward to working with Joe and his team. "Securing Dracula is a real coup for Northern Ireland; as well as offering employment for our fantastic crew base, large-scale productions provide apprenticeship and trainee opportunities, thus helping ensure our local talent base has the opportunity to continue to develop." Dracula will star Welsh actor Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6 and Canadian Sarah Gadon, who recently featured in A Dangerous Method. The film will be directed by Gary Shore and produced by Michael De Luca. Major Peake stepped outside the International Space Station's Quest airlock just after 13:00 GMT. He and Nasa astronaut Tim Kopra are scheduled to spend six-and-a-half hours on the exterior of the outpost. The astronauts have completed the primary goal of the spacewalk: replacing a faulty component on the station's exterior. Live: Tim Peake walks in space Its failure in November last year compromised a power channel on the outpost. The failed electrical box regulates power from the solar panels. "I think a spacewalk is absolutely the pinnacle of an astronaut's career," Major Peake told BBC Stargazing Live this week. The European Space Agency (Esa) astronaut added: "We've put a huge amount of effort into this spacewalk. It's hugely exciting and we're ready to go." Tim Peake on historic spacewalk Note: This tracker uses the time set on the device you are using to predict where the space station is. If your pc, tablet or mobile has the wrong time set then the graphic will not show the correct position. During the EVA - the technical term for a spacewalk - the two Tims ventured to the very edge of the space station. They had to travel half its length, a distance of roughly 50m - which is equivalent to an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Peake and Kopra moved along the exterior using their arms, but are attached to the space station's external structure via steel cords, or tethers. Colonel Kopra exited the Quest airlock first, followed by his British colleague a few minutes later. Kopra then proceeded to the worksite with a toolbox, where he anchored a foot restraint as an additional safety measure. The US astronaut then gave a "Go" signal for Major Peake to follow the Nasa astronaut, carrying the replacement electrical box. While he was waiting for Col Kopra's signal, Tim Peake was able to get accustomed to being outside for the first time, including looking down on planet Earth. Luca Parmitano, an Italian Esa astronaut who conducted two spacewalks in 2013, told BBC Five Live: "It is unimaginable... there are no words to describe the feeling of seeing our planet from above through a visor - that's all that separates us from the view, a thin visor of plexiglass." "When language evolved, it described what we saw around us. Being on the space station, doing an EVA, walking outside is not something we have experienced [as a species]." Both astronauts have trained in a large indoor water tank called the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at Houston's Johnson Space Center. Nasa astronaut Michael López-Alegría, who holds the US record for cumulative spacewalking time, said the two Tims were well prepared, but added there were key differences between underwater training and a real EVA. "One is that translation [moving from one point to another] is quite a bit different without the viscosity of the water," he told BBC News. "This is especially true when [Major Peake] will be transporting relatively large masses (like the SSU) relatively long distances. This fact will change his centre of gravity and will affect the results of the inputs he makes with his hands and arms during translation." But he explained: "This kind of thing is 'all in a day's work' for a spacewalker. I'm very confident that the two Tims will complete their tasks with great skill, efficiently and, most importantly, safely." The failed electrical component - known as a Sequential Shunt Unit (SSU) - was relatively straightforward to swap out: it involved undoing just one bolt. But the ISS takes 90 minutes to orbit the Earth, so the astronauts experience 45 minutes of daylight followed by 45 minutes of total darkness. Peake and Kopra could only work on the SSU in darkness, because in daylight, there may be a current running through the box. Tim Peake in space: Want to know more?

Social media: Twitter looks ahead to lift-off Timeline: How Tim Peake became a British astronaut Quiz: How dangerous is life in space? They were given a safe window of 31 minutes to work on changing the SSU, but only needed 19, finishing the task at 14:56 GMT. Speaking before the spacewalk, Mr Peake said both astronauts would have to be very careful while working on the electrical box because there was nothing to protect them from the high voltages generated by the solar panel. At one stage, Col Kopra's suit was showing abnormal CO2 readings, but mission control decided it was down to a sensor problem. The astronauts next split up to work on separate tasks. Tim Peake is deploying cables along one side of the station's Destiny lab; they are to be used by new docking ports. The task requires Major Peake to manoeuvre through some tight spaces, so he will have to be careful not to snag his tether on any components. Tim Kopra has several activities in the meantime; he has completed the installation of a valve that had to be removed for relocation of the station's Leonardo module last year. Michael Foale, who was born in Louth, Lincolnshire, became the first Briton to make a spacewalk on 9 February 1995, during a US space shuttle mission. Born to a British father and American mother, Mr Foale has dual British and US citizenship. He was selected under Nasa's astronaut programme and therefore "flew" as an American. Traditionally, the British government has not funded human spaceflight, leading a generation of budding astronauts to look to the US space agency as their only route to orbit. But the UK changed its policy after Mr Peake was selected in 2009 as a European Space Agency astronaut. Thus, Mr Peake is the first person since Helen Sharman in 1991 to wear the Union flag in space.

Oxfordshire Unison Health Branch said some porters could lose up to £54 a week if their hours are altered. It is now in talks with private firm Carillion in a bid to reach a deal before strike action. Carillion, which runs the porter service for Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, has not yet responded to a BBC request for comment. Before the ballot Unison said: "The porters at John Radcliffe, who are nearly all Unison members, are facing pay cuts and job losses amid huge pressure from management to accept the proposals." It was always going to be a meeting of two worlds giving someone with such a strong trade union background that brief. But on the whole the business lobby liked her approach which was to make up her mind quickly and it was a reminder of how so many of the decisions made in government are more managerial than political. She always denied it when I put it to her but she radically changed many of the economic development policies that had been introduced by her predecessor Ieuan Wyn Jones. He had tried to take Wales away from the kind of old-fashioned grants that existed under the Welsh Development Agency, and introduced a focus on a relatively small number of sectors he felt had a future. She re-introduced grants and broadened out the focus on particular sectors so that it encompassed virtually the entire economy. There are no other Welsh government departments with a personal stamp on it like hers and I understand she enjoys a degree of autonomy in the way she runs it that's not afforded to any other minister. Despite criticism, her approach has been unashamedly interventionist. It's impossible to say whether the Welsh government would have bought Cardiff airport for £52m two years ago without her, but the decision had the Edwina Hart stamp all over it. If something is failing in the private sector, she believes in using the levers at her disposal to step in. Without great fanfare, she built up the Welsh government's property portfolio to try to inject life in the economy after the recession. So if she judged that commercial property firms were slow to invest in new office space in the centre of Cardiff, she followed the recommendations of her advisor David Goldstone to use public funds to buy up office blocks. The amount of money spent by Welsh ministers to buy industrial sites, business parks and office blocks for economic development could reach £120m. She has also commissioned a huge number of reports, often called task and finish groups, and created a network of advisory boards, or committees as they used to be called, which regularly attracted the inevitable "talking shops" tag. There are panels covering sectors and enterprise zones and the city regions of Swansea and Cardiff as part of what has been a giant information-gathering element to her time in the job. There are three major projects that need to be looked at in the light of her departure next year. Firstly there is the plan for an M4 relief road which at £1bn would be the largest capital project undertaken by a devolved government in Wales. Secondly, there is the proposal to re-nationalise the biggest rail franchise in Wales when the current agreement with Arriva Trains Wales comes to an end. And thirdly there is the metro, an ambitious scheme to improve bus and a rail services in and out of Cardiff. An announcement on this is expected within days. The smart money is on there being a recommendation to create a new body to to specifically deliver the project. All of these complex and expensive schemes are wrapped up at various technical stages but we shouldn't under-estimate the importance of personalities in driving through big change. Edwina Hart has been their main champion of all of these schemes and her departure will bring a new dynamic to all of them. The M4 relief road is increasingly looking politically difficult for Labour to deliver with opposition from the other parties appearing to harden by the month. The absence of Edwina Hart next year just made prospects for that motorway look even less likely. Her decisions also brings the tally of departing Labour AMs to eight with Gwenda Thomas, Keith Davies, Jeff Cuthbert, Christine Chapman, Gwyn Price, Rosemary Butler and Sandy Mewies. We often talk about the inevitable changing face of the assembly next year as a result of the expected arrival of UKIP members but the internal changes for Labour are significant with more than a quarter of AMs standing down. All eyes now will be on the quality of the candidates. A German consortium and fans Gabe Turner, Ben Turner and Leo Pearlman from television production company Fulwell 73 have made takeover offers. Sunderland confirmed on Friday that discussions with "parties who have expressed an interest" are ongoing. Short, who has owned the club since May 2009, is looking to sell following relegation to the Championship. Sunderland are keen to conclude the talks as quickly as possible and have put a time limit on a potential sale, with finding a replacement for manager David Moyes, who left his post in May, also a priority. Although fans of the Wearside club, some of Fulwell 73's financial backing would come from the USA. The group takes its name from a stand at Sunderland's former ground, Roker Park, and the year in which the club last won the FA Cup. When asked to design a community project to promote the restoration of the Ashton Gatehouse, Vicky Harrison was puzzled not to find it on a map. Together with a team of volunteers aged 15 to 70 she set about changing that. The embroidered map, that took 600 hours to complete, will be on display at the gatehouse from Wednesday. The original entrance to the Ashton Court Estate is being renovated with the help of a £550,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Artist Ms Harrison said: "After searching for it online, I quickly realised that it was not on Google maps and so the idea to put it back on the map was born. "The map takes in the local sights of Long Ashton, Bower Ashton, Ashton Vale, Southville and Bedminster. "There will be a nod to the key roads but scattered all over it are landmarks and points of interest such as peregrine falcons in the gorge, deer in the park and hot air balloons floating above Ashton Court." Hundreds of stitches were used, including cretan stitch, woven wheel stitch, zigzag chain stitch and Roumanian couching. Eating five portions of fruit and veg a day has the biggest effect, say experts at Oxford University. Only a third of Britons consume enough fruit and veg, with the worst results in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The UK daily guidelines are to eat five portions of fruit and veg, no more than 6g of salt, and keep saturated fat to 10% of total energy intake. The research, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, was based on a computer model linking food consumption with mortality from heart disease, stroke and cancer. Public health experts at the University of Oxford used it to analyse data for 2005 to 2007 from a variety of studies in the UK looking at links between diet and deaths. They used the model to predict how levels of heart disease, stroke and cancer would fall if everyone followed recommended dietary advice. Dr Peter Scarborough, from Oxford University, who led the research, said: "Meeting dietary recommendations would have a massive effect on the health of the nation. "According to our model, the biggest impact would be eating more fruit and veg. But this doesn't mean you should just stop at five - the more the better." Dr Scarborough said very few people in the UK achieved all of the dietary recommendations. But he said helping people to make simple choices about a healthy diet could have a major impact on disease. He told the BBC: "If we have a food environment that is better set up to encourage healthy eating we could have a big impact on health outcomes in the long term. "It's encouraging people to make healthier choices by making healthier choices easier." The study was co-funded by the British Heart Foundation. Senior dietician, Victoria Taylor, said: "This research highlights that well worn dietary messages - like eating five portions of fruit and veg a day - shouldn't be overlooked, because they could have a huge impact on our health." Her comments were echoed by Dr Rachel Thompson of the World Cancer Research Fund. She said: "This study highlights the important role fruits and vegetables play in cancer prevention and this is why we recommend people eat at least five portions a day of a variety of fruits and vegetables. "There is strong evidence they reduce risk of several types of cancer, including cancers of the oesophagus and the stomach. "Also, as well as directly reducing our cancer risk, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can help us maintain a healthy weight. "This is important because we estimate that about 19,000 cancer cases in the UK are diagnosed every year that are linked to weight." The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) said a 'geophysical survey' will be carried out on land not previously searched at a bog in Oristown, County Meath. It is believed Brendan Megraw's remains are buried somewhere on the land. He was one of the 16 murder victims that became known as the Disappeared. Mr Megraw was 23 years old when he was abducted from Twinbrook in Belfast in 1978, and murdered by the IRA. There have been three unsuccessful searches for him, the most recent in 2010. His brother, Kieran Megraw, said the family were wary of getting their hopes up. "You're thankful that information has come in," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster. "But you have to temper your expectation and hope. You're hoping then the results of the survey will say it's okay to go ahead." The IRA claimed that he had confessed to being a British provocateur and Military Reaction Force undercover agent. Senior forensic investigator Geoff Knupfer told Good Morning Ulster that the latest search was a "continuation" of the previous efforts to find Mr Megraw. "We've undertaken two or three phases previously. They're all adjoining one another which would indicate to you and your listeners that we've been told where to go, where to look and, really, it's a continuation of that process." He added the chances of finding Mr Megraw were "not enormous" but that he was "optimistic" if the grave area has not been disturbed. He said: "No-one, least of all Brendan's family, is under any illusion that this is anything other than a huge task. "We will carry out an initial survey of ground that is on the site where we think Brendan could be buried, but has not previously been analysed. "This will involve a team of forensic archaeologists using ground-penetrating radar to try to identify anomalies beneath the surface that may warrant further investigation and a fresh search." The ICLVR was established in 1999 to obtain information in strictest confidence which may lead to the location of the remains of the Disappeared - those killed and buried in secret by banned paramilitary groups prior to 10 April 1998 as a result of the Troubles. Information passed to the ICLVR is kept confidential and cannot be used in criminal proceedings. The ICLVR said that over four hectares of the Oristown bog have been searched to date, with a further 2.5 hectares to be covered by the new land survey. Two other victims - Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright - both from west Belfast and abducted in 1972, are thought to be buried nearby in Wilkinstown. Valon Pitts, 36, was reported missing by his family on 31 July 2012 and was found dead on 22 August in Devon. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said police call handlers "completely missed the signs" that Mr Pitts was in danger. Devon and Cornwall Police admitted the response was "below the standard expected". The IPCC said Mr Pitts, who had schizophrenia and was also known as Chang Somers, had contacted police several times before he died, "when his mental health was clearly deteriorating". Mr Pitts, who lived in Stonehouse in Plymouth, had also been seen taking tablets on the street in Paignton on 25 July, the last day he was seen alive. Police were alerted by an onlooker but they did not send any officers. The IPCC said it found "a number of individual failings by several members of police control room staff who either handled calls poorly or failed to take the appropriate action". IPCC Associate Commissioner Tom Milsom said: "Several officers and police staff in the control room came into contact with Mr Somers. "Some recognised his vulnerability and sought to pass on messages and give him reassurance. "Others completely missed the signs that were there and did not recognise and share information effectively." As a result of the IPCC investigation two call handlers have received a final written warning and two more were given written warnings. At an inquest in Plymouth a jury concluded the death was accidental. The cause of death was "unascertained" because of the deteriorated condition of the body. Mr Pitts's sister Michelle Williams said after the inquest: "It brought us to tears trying to get these people to listen. "To beg for my brother's life is not right." Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton said a "significant number of critical changes" had been made to police call handling as a result of the investigation. Call handlers now receive a significantly higher amount of training to help them identify signs of a person with mental health issues. Media playback is not supported on this device A crowd of 80,000 has roared you into the stadium. You have been in such prime form that in your last competition, you beat the world record holder by three metres. And here you are, ready to strike for the summit, suddenly unable to perform your most routine yet essential physical task. "It was like those nightmares where you're being chased, and you can't run," says Goldie Sayers, nine times British javelin champion, two years on from a London 2012 experience that came close to wrecking her. "My warm-up had seemed to go fine, and I remember my run-up was perfect. But I was putting as much effort into each throw as I could, and it was landing at 48 metres. I can pretty much do that standing still. "I couldn't work out why this javelin was sliding out of my hand. I was just baffled. I was lumping it as hard as I could, and it was going nowhere. "But there was nothing attaching my forearm to my upper arm. I'd just snapped my elbow and hadn't realised it." Sayers was not the only British athlete whose 2012 Olympics, far from being the defining moment of their career, became the worst. Injury also scuppered her fellow medal contenders Phillips Idowu and Dai Greene. It is the side of the Games that gets lost amongst the fairytales: for every winner of sport's ultimate golden ticket, many more leave wondering why form or fortune abandoned them at the most critical hour of all. Neither is Sayers one for self-pity, for equating sporting misfortune with the more fundamental calamities that life can throw up. But hers is certainly one of the crueller tales from that wonderful fortnight two summers ago. There is the physical pain of an arm mangled and two years lost to multiple surgeries and false starts. And there is the mental ache: why me, why now, why again? Three weeks before the Olympics, at the Diamond League meet at Crystal Palace, Sayers had comprehensively beaten all of her global rivals, setting a new British record of 66.17m to confirm what all her gym tests and drills had indicated: she was in the shape of her life. "I had the best three rounds I've ever produced," she says. "I remember saying to my coach, 'I'll have one more throw, and then can it and save it for London.'" In 15 years of throwing javelin, Sayers had never before hurt her elbow. On that fourth throw, victory already secured, she did. By the evening she could not raise her hand to her face. A 30th birthday spent in an MRI scanner revealed a partial tear in her ulnar collateral ligament - bad, but not the end. A frantic fortnight of massage, acupuncture and painkillers got her into the Olympic Stadium. And then, on her first throw in qualifying, the point of no return: arm back, tendon snapped in two. There was no pain, not until the injections wore off. There were also no tears, at least not while she thought the cameras were rolling. And then both hit at once. "I lost it, and I lost it for a long time," she says, sitting on the infield of the track at Lee Valley, a few miles north of Stratford's Olympic Stadium. "Before then I'd never really believed in luck. That sometimes something happens, and there's nothing you can do about it." Sayers recalls watching from under the Olympic flame as training partner Greg Rutherford won gold in the long jump. "It was amazing, seeing friends and team-mates do so well," she says. "And I thought the support was so incredible we were all going to win medals." She smiles. "I've learned quite a lot through this whole process. But on the day it was just… horrific. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's difficult to rationalise, except by reasoning, this happens in lots of different areas in life. You get hit by a car. Sometimes it's not under your control. "My only regret is not sitting down at Crystal Palace after three rounds. But when have I ever done that?" So far, so ill-fated. Yet the journey back would prove equally treacherous. Within a week of the closing ceremony, Sayers had an operation to tie the two ends of the ruptured ligament together, the surgeon confident she would be throwing again by January 2013. Instead, come the New Year, there was only swelling and pain. A scan showed a metal screw was sticking out - only by half a centimetre, but enough to have worn through the bone. The solution: another operation, this time to remove the screw and fill in the bone. Except that, when the arm was opened up and the ligament was tested under general anaesthetic, it was found to be already coming apart. "I remember waking up, and the doctor was very direct, and he's not a very direct person," she says. "He looked at me and said, 'The ligament's not strong enough. You need a reconstruction.' "I could have thought, 'Is there any point? I'm clearly not going to throw a javelin again.' But I was thinking too about the rest of my life. "I wanted to be able to throw a ball, to play tennis. I wanted an elbow I could use. I just love to throw stuff. "Within two hours I was researching everything I could about the ligament. That was how I dealt with it. I'm a bit of a problem solver. I'm not overly emotional, which isn't always a good thing, but I'm always thinking, 'what can I do next?' "I was told it had been opened up twice, so the chances of a successful reconstruction were slim. So I thought, 'right, I need the best elbow surgeon in the world.'" Advice from England cricketer Graeme Swann and American decathlete Trey Hardee narrowed the field to two doctors in the US. Long interviews over FaceTime followed, which led to a 70-year-old surgeon in West Florida named James Andrews. On his client list were American footballer Tom Brady, golf legend Jack Nicklaus and basketball great Michael Jordan. "I'd read all his research and all his papers," says Sayers. "But when he first walked in the room he looked like Father Christmas and sounded like Forrest Gump. I thought, 'wow, have I got the right man?'" Andrews opened up her left wrist, removed the palmaris tendon, sliced open her right elbow, drilled holes in the ulna and humerus bones and wove the harvested tendon into place. All of which graphic detail makes it somewhat surprising to learn that Sayers was in the gym the next day, mother Liz alongside her to do things like open doors and tie shoelaces. "In my family. the women are pretty strong. We just get on with it. Do what you can with what you've got. "But when you're not able to do it at all, you do think about it differently. You definitely take it 10 times less for granted, and I wasn't someone who took it for granted in the first place. Media playback is not supported on this device "When I was off that summer, having competed since I was 13, I made sure I went to music festivals, drank more than I ordinarily do. I was standing at the V Festival watching the Kings of Leon, and desperately trying to refresh the browser on my phone so I could see the results from the javelin at the World Championships. Thinking I would so rather be there. " Finally, 23 months on from London, despite also having her funding cut by British Athletics before a successful appeal, Sayers is ready to compete again. This weekend she will be at the British Championships in Birmingham. Beyond that lies the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and the European Championships in Zurich. Every single throw will be relished. "I've never once had pain in that elbow ligament. And pain is what triggers fear, because that's what fear is, really. So it's not been in my mind. But you will treat every competition as your last, because I could have had my last in a British vest. "Sport can be really cruel. But having had those low points does make the highs much higher. It did make me think, 'if I'd have been someone who's been successful from year dot, would that have been as much fun?'" Beyond Glasgow lies Rio. After the misery of London, after missing out on a medal in Beijing by just 38 centimetres, is she already thinking of what might happen at her fourth Olympics? "You always do. We're already halfway through this Olympic cycle. A lot of people have done well in throws at that age." A year on from that, in the summer of 2017, athletics will return to London's Olympic Stadium once again. When those World Championships begin, Sayers will be 35. Too old? Too late? A little precedent: when Jan Zelezny, the greatest javelin thrower of them all, won his last world title, he was also 35. When Germany's Steffi Nerius won world gold in Berlin's Olympiastadion in 2009, she was 37. "I have thought about that," smiles Sayers. "I remember thinking about it, walking off at 2012. Thinking, 'right, I can't retire until I've walked off this track having won the thing. Or at least medalled…' And then that's it. I can put javelin to bed, and go and get a proper job." The 31-year-old was charged on Monday after catching West Ham's Winston Reid with his left arm as they waited for a free-kick to be taken during Saturday's 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. The Germany international will face a three-match ban if found guilty. He has until 12:00 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge. Referee Mark Clattenburg spoke to both players after the incident, but did not mention it in his post-match report. "The matter was referred to a panel of three former elite referees who each reviewed the video footage independently of one another to determine whether they considered it a sending-off offence," said an FA statement. "For an FA charge to follow the decision by the panel must be unanimous." Danny Ward headed the hosts in front from a corner before Will Vaulks made it 2-0 with a stunning 25-yard strike. George Saville rounded home goalkeeper Lee Camp to pull one back before Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa was sent off for pulling back Jon Taylor. But Iceland striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson fired in to earn Wolves a point. Bodvarsson, making his debut after signing from German side Kaiserslautern, was set up by fellow debutant Joao Teixeira to put a dampener on Alan Stubbs' first game in charge of the Millers. Stubbs, who left Hibernian to join Rotherham in the summer, handed starts to four of his summer signings - including record-signing Taylor - although it was Vaulks who made an immediate impact with a sweetly-struck half-volley that gave his side a deserved two-goal lead. Although Saville pulled one back, Rotherham looked increasingly in charge when Iorfa was ruled to be the last man as Taylor tried to run in on goal. But Wolves improved following the introduction of on-loan Benfica midfielder Teixeira and ultimately deserved their point in former Italy goalkeeper Zenga's first game since replacing Kenny Jackett. Rotherham manager Alan Stubbs: "There were a lot of positives to take, but right now it feels like it is two points dropped rather than a point gained. "The two goals were sloppy and ones we should have prevented. "It was mixed, I was pleased with certain elements and a part of me was frustrated as we didn't get a reward for the position we put ourselves in." Wolves head coach Walter Zenga: "It's very nice, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn, today I learned! The stadium was full, it was a nice game. It's amazing. If we'd have lost it might have been different. Media playback is not supported on this device "Even in the second half when we had 10, we refused to lose. That is the most important thing. I think we deserved to draw. "There were many emotional moments, especially the welcome the fans gave me." Match ends, Rotherham United 2, Wolverhampton Wanderers 2.

The First Minister stressed it in his speech to the Labour conference and I get the impression he would be perfectly happy for the economy to dictate the terms of every interview from here until May. This is, after all, a First Minister who by and large we have seen on international trade visits and in factories, rather than in classrooms and hospital wards. The obvious danger is that the focus on the economy, or what he calls his "fiercely pro-business" agenda, inevitably brings him into conflict with Jeremy Corbyn. The new UK leader of the party used an interview on Radio Wales to insist there's no great difference between the two men when it comes to the economy. Problems will only emerge once policies begin to take shape. For example, how would a UK Labour policy to raise corporation tax sit with Welsh government efforts to encourage big business to invest in Wales? In the meantime, no-one is going to criticise Carwyn Jones for focusing on the economy, but his political opponents will accuse him of doing so in an attempt to mask failures in the delivery of public services. In Plaid Cymru's weekly news briefing, the AM Simon Thomas said: "This is a deliberate tactic by Welsh Labour knowing they can wash their hands of the bad economic decisions done by the Westminster government and simply take the credit for some of the more positive things in the Welsh economy." Everyone is still scratching their heads trying to work out what Jeremy Corbyn's rise will mean for Wales and Welsh Labour, but one comment from the former First Minister Rhodri Morgan stood out for me. He said Jeremy Corbyn talks a lot about housing, rather than jobs, because the overriding problem in London, where he is an MP, is finding an affordable place to live rather than finding a job. But in contrast, he said the main challenge in Wales is finding work, rather than a house, which goes some way to explain why Welsh Labour spends more time talking about the economy than the state of housing. Mr Morgan went on to say that one of Corbyn's challenges was to understand this fact when he campaigns in elections outside of London over the next eight months. Just one more thing to add to his enormous to-do list. The magnitude-6.0 quake struck in the middle of the night, about 35km (22 miles) north of the city of Bologna. The tremor caused "significant damage to the cultural heritage" of Emilia Romagna region, the government said. Later on Sunday, a magnitude-5.1 aftershock hit the region, causing more buildings to collapse. The aftershock destroyed a clock tower and made a firefighter fall from a wall in the town of Finale Emilia, near the epicentre of the first tremor. By Alan Johnston BBC News, Finale Emilia, northern Italy In one square, an old clocktower stood half-destroyed by the quake. A small crowd had gathered and was looking on at the ruin. Just as we joined them, another aftershock struck. In front of us, what remained of the tower collapsed, tumbling down in a shower of bricks and timbers and sending a great cloud of dust rolling across the square. With the situation still so unstable, many people were choosing to stay out in the relatively safety of the streets, not wanting to be trapped inside if there are going to be more tremors. And there's particular concern about many of the older, weaker, historic buildings. A large number of them show signs of damage, and nobody knows quite how vulnerable they may be to more shocks. Sunday's quake was the worst to hit the country since the L'Aquila tremor killed nearly 300 people in central Italy in 2009. The earthquake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 10km just after 04:00 local time (02:00 GMT). It was felt across a large swathe of northern Italy, including the cities of Bologna, Ferrara, Verona and Mantua and as far away as Milan and Venice. The tremor forced many terrified residents into the streets. Two people were killed in Sant'Agostino when a ceramics factory collapsed. The mother of one of the victims told local media that "he wasn't supposed to be there. He changed shifts with a friend". Another person - believed to be a Moroccan national - was killed in Ponte Rodoni do Bondeno. In Tecopress di Dosso, one worker died when the roof of a foundry collapsed, Rai News24 reports. Local media say three women died as a result of illness induced by the tremors: a 37-year-old German national, near Bologna, who was said to have had a heart attack, a centenarian in Sant'Agostino and an octogenarian. About 50 people were injured - but no-one seriously. In pictures: Italy earthquake More than 3,000 people were later evacuated from their homes amid fears of fresh tremors. "I was woken at around 04:00 by the quake, it was strong and lasted up to a minute, maybe more," Frankie Thompson, a UK travel journalist in Bologna, told the BBC. "Church bells were set off spontaneously... followed by an eerie silence. Small aftershocks kept coming and going until maybe 05:50 when a stronger tremor shook us again but not as long and dramatic as the first," she added. Britain's David Trew, who is staying in a hotel in Ferrara, told the BBC: "I was sound asleep when the tremors started. I was having quite a vivid dream, and the first few seconds of the quake became part of the dream. "As I began to wake up it took me a few seconds to realise that it was actually happening for real. I fumbled around in the darkness, now very scared. The room was shaking violently, plaster was dropping off the ceiling into my hair and all over the floor." One local resident told Ansa: "I heard a big bang and I ran on the terrace, I was afraid of falling." TV footage later showed people inspecting damaged houses, offices and historic buildings. Parts of a castle in Finale Emilia collapsed. Emergency officials ordered the evacuation of patients from hospitals as a precautionary measure. Northern Italy is frequently rocked by minor earthquakes, but the country is well-prepared to deal with them, the BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome reports. In January, a magnitude-5.3 quake hit northern Italy but caused no injuries.

BBC Scotland has learned that Mr Green claims his contract with the Ibrox club entitled him to legal cover during and after his spell in charge. His lawyers have written to Rangers and want a court ruling on the claim. It is understood the fees involved could be in excess of £500,000. The court ruling could happen as early as next week. Mr Green and a number of others, including the club's former owner Craig Whyte, were arrested and charged earlier this month. The moves followed an investigation by Police Scotland into off-field events at the club in 2012 and 2013.

Former Rangers chief executive Charles Green is taking the club to court in a bid to get them to pay his legal fees after he was charged with serious organised crime offences.

At least 10 people were injured when the fire tore through closely-packed huts at the Grande-Synthe camp, near the port of Dunkirk. Last month officials said the camp would be dismantled because of unrest. The French north coast has been a magnet for migrants trying to reach Britain. "There is nothing left but a heap of ashes," said Michel Lalande, prefect of France's Nord region. "It will be impossible to put the huts back where they were before," he added. The population of the Grande-Synthe camp has grown since last October's destruction of the "Jungle" camp near Calais, about 40 km (25 miles) away. The arrival of more Afghans increased tensions with Kurds living in the camp, AFP news agency reports, citing witnesses and officials. The migrants have been evacuated and will be sent to emergency accommodation, with two gymnasiums nearby already made available, Mr Lalande said. There have been several violent incidents at the Grande-Synthe camp, which was built by the charity MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and opened in March 2016. Six people were left injured with knife wounds after the fight that started the blaze. Police intervened last month after five men were injured in a fight, and another man was stabbed in November, AFP reported. The 10th annual wildlife report from the trust said mild winters and bad weather in summer created bad conditions for small plants. But whilst insects suffered, grass growth rose, meaning a good year for livestock farmers. Conservationists and farmers must work together, the trust said. Warmer winter months and bad summers have become the norm, according to the report, which said the UK has not had a good summer since 2006. Nature and wildlife specialist for the Trust, Matthew Oates, said: "2016 comes on top of an unsettled decade, with many species struggling in the face of climate change and more intensive farming practices. "When you do get good weather during the brighter months of the year, it's almost inevitably short-lived and finished with something nasty. "During the brightest months, we do seem to be getting more extreme weather events, most of which aren't nice." Specific sites have now seen a big change in their wildlife, especially due to the surge in grass growth. Observations at Lytes Cary, in Somerset, showed the number of bumblebees had fallen by 85% on the previous year as wildflowers that attract the bees in field margins were outgrown by grass. At Purbeck, in Dorset, meadow butterflies also saw a drop in numbers, with volunteers recording a fall in sightings of marbled white numbers by 73% and 23% fewer common blue butterflies. But the grass growth meant good hay and silage harvests for tenant farmers on Trust sites and improvements on other sites. Among birds, in Cornwall and Devon rare cirl buntings saw a rise in numbers by 800% since 1989. And the grazing conditions for rare-breed Longhorn cattle in the Lake District's Ennerdale Valley led to the right wet grassland habitat for marsh fritillary butterflies, with larvae numbers up 560% in 10 years. Mr Oates said the effect of grazing on rare species signalled the need for conservationists and farmers to work together when it comes to managing the land. Other areas saw mixed results for their wildlife. At Blakeney Point, on the north Norfolk coast, the grey seal population went from 100 pups being born in 2004, to 2,342 born by January this year. The Farne Islands also saw 1,879 pups born in 2016, which was up on last year. There was also a larger apple crop, especially in the south west, because of the warm autumn and rain late in the season. The extended growing season also saw better conditions for damsons, acorns and hazelnuts. However, there were falls in the number of field voles, which could lead to problems for barn owls and kestrels who feed on them. And whilst slugs have benefited from the mild and wet weather, gardeners have had to suffer the effects on their plants. Ms Cox, 41, died after being attacked in Birstall, West Yorkshire in June. A man has been charged with her murder. Seen off by Ms Cox's sister Kim Leadbeater, the cyclists will pedal from her constituency to Parliament. They will visit community groups supported by Ms Cox's charities along the 260-mile (418 km) route. The event's organiser Sarfraz Mian, said he hoped local people would join the riders on each of the five days. "I didn't know Jo, but I was struck by her principles and beliefs and the fact that communities are always stronger when working together," he said. "Jo worked all her life to make a difference in the world and, at the time of her death, people were pitched against one another in political arguments where our sense of humanity seemed in peril." Rear Admiral Widodo's comments came after a renewed attempt to raise the wreckage from seabed failed when it kept breaking into pieces. Ropes around the fuselage snapped during an initial failed effort to raise it on Saturday. The plane crashed into the Java Sea last month killing all 162 on board. It was flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore. Four bodies were recovered on Saturday, taking the total recovered to 69, with more thought to be inside. A preliminary report on the crash is expected to be filed next week , although the full investigation will take months. Rescuers have been using inflatable balloon bags capable of lifting up to 10 tonnes to raise the 13-metre long section of wreckage from the sea bed and onto a flat boat. But on Saturday, with the wreckage seven metres (22ft) from the surface, strong currents and the sharp edges of the aircraft's emergency door cut the rope connecting a bag to the fuselage. The sharp edges had to be padded with rubber material before another attempt could take place. Divers entered the main section of the fuselage, which is at a depth of 30m, for the first time on Friday. The wreckage includes parts of both of the wings of the Airbus. It is believed the plane's cockpit may also be in the same area. Poor weather and difficult sea conditions have hampered the salvage operation since the main section of the aircraft was found. On Friday, Indonesian rescue agency official SB Supriyadi described the difficulties of the salvage: "The divers said it was dark inside, the seats where floating about and the wires were like a tangled yarn." The plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were found last week. This week Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan told MPs that radar data had shown that the jet had climbed too fast - at a speed of 6,000ft (1,828m) a minute. This caused the plane to stall, he said. When planes stall, their engines do not cut out but the wings no longer generate lift because there is not enough air passing over them, BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott says. Junta forces are going through the camp looking for any remaining troops, a witness told the BBC. The shooting broke out late on Monday after reports that the leaders of the presidential guard would be arrested. The army toppled President Amadou Toumani Toure in March but officially stepped aside three weeks later. However, the junta still wields considerable influence and holds three cabinet posts. The fighting has claimed at least 14 lives, Abdoulaye Nene Coulibaly, the director of Bamako's Gabriel Toure hospital, told AFP news agency. Some 40 people have been wounded on both sides of the conflict, Mr Coulibaly said. The fighting has also delayed the return home of football teams from Egypt and Nigeria, who had been playing in Mali . Witnesses say that most soldiers in central Bamako's Djicoroni camp had fled before the junta forces moved in. One told the Reuters news agency that he had seen three dead bodies there. Early on Tuesday, coup leaders broadcast a message saying the situation was under control after clashes with members of the presidential guard and "foreign elements". By Martin VoglBamako Sources close to Mali's junta say their soldiers are now trying to round up the remaining "Red Berets" who attacked the state broadcaster, the airport and tried to head for the junta headquarters. In a statement read out by one of his officers on state TV in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Capt Amadou Sanogo, the coup leader, made clear that those responsible for Monday's attacks would not go unpunished. Some prisoners have already been paraded on television, prompting concerns among colleagues about what will happen to those taken into custody. More military checkpoints have been set up after the renewed fighting. Some businesses have closed and many in Bamako believe they are in for another period of insecurity and uncertainty. "Everyone involved, no matter to what extent, in this odious act against the Malian people will be tracked down and brought before the competent jurisdictions," the statement read. Members of the "Red Berets" presidential guards unit earlier reportedly entered the broadcaster's building, which had been controlled by pro-junta forces since the coup. "These are elements of the presidential guard from the old regime and they're trying to turn things around," junta spokesman Bacary Mariko told the Reuters news agency. Bamako-based journalist Martin Vogl told the BBC that the airport and the junta's military base just outside the capital were also attacked. He says that while the presidential guard was the section of the army which was least supportive of the coup, there is no sense that they are now trying to bring back former President Toure, who has fled to neighbouring Senegal. One eyewitness told Reuters that the streets of Bamako were deserted. Electricity has been cut in several part of the city. A spokesman for the regional body, Ecowas, told the BBC's Network Africa programme he was not surprised by the fighting because the junta was "still meddling" in the affairs of government. "We urge [the military] to get back to barracks," said Sonny Ugoh. He said there was "no alternative" to sending troops to Mali but stressed they were to help Mali fight rebels who have seized control of the three northern provinces of Timbuktu, Kidal and Gao - a mostly desert area the size of France. The rebels are a combination of ethnic Tuareg separatists and Islamists, who want to impose Sharia law across the whole country. The 22 March coup was led by soldiers who accused former President Toure of failing to combat the insurgency, which took advantage of the unrest to make rapid advances. Martin Vogl says the coup leaders oppose Ecowas plans for interim President Dioncounda Traore to stay in power for a year while organising elections. Despite officially handing over power on 12 April, the junta later went on to arrest a number of loyalists to the ousted president, prompting Mr Toure to escape to Senegal. The work in Chambers Street, which will see the creation of a piazza, will start on Sunday. Part of the plans will see the relocation of the existing statue of 19th Century Lord Provost William Chambers. There will also be the removal of 40 car park spaces that line the street. The removal of the parking bays will make way for a pedestrianised area, which will double as a performance space during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The street will be closed on Sunday all day to allow the existing statue of William Chambers to be moved temporarily in preparation for the works. Dr Gordon Rintoul, director of National Museums Scotland, said the project would be completed in the summer. He said: "All major cities have a quality public realm and the plans to redefine the use of the public space in Chambers Street will provide just that - an appropriate setting in keeping with the prominence of the buildings and a much enhanced public space for people to meet and enjoy events. "This space will create a new focus for cultural activity in association with the museum and our many partners." The project will be funded by Edinburgh city council, National Museums Scotland Charitable Trust, Edinburgh University and a group of private donors. Each one has taken it closer to what decades of international talks have tried to prevent - a nuclear weapon in the hands of one of the world's most unpredictable states. 9 October 2006 - a weapon for 'peace' Years of posturing - and attempts at negotiation by foreign powers - culminated in October 2006 with an announcement by Pyongyang that it had carried out its first nuclear explosion. Like all tests that would follow, it took place underground, in tunnels dug into a remote mountainous site called Punggye-ri, in the north-east. The device is assumed to have used plutonium, sourced from the North's nuclear facility at Yongbyon. International observers estimated the blast had an energy discharge of about a kiloton, less than a tenth of the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Many believed this indicated a nuclear "fizzle" rather than a fully effective blast. But the North said it had joined the nuclear club and that its bomb would contribute to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. The second test was bigger, with an estimated yield of 2-8 kilotons. North Korea said it had achieved a "higher level in terms of its explosive power and technology". While the international consensus was that a nuclear test had happened, no radiation was detected. The ability to contain a nuclear test would in itself be a big advance for the North. It also followed hard on the heels of a test of a missile with a long enough range to reach the US. Both were seen as an attempt by ailing leader Kim Jong-il to prove the North's nuclear capacity before he died. In the early hours of 12 February 2013, unusual seismic activity was again detected around Punggye-ri. The North said it had tested "a miniaturised and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force than previously". The as-yet unproven reference to "miniaturised" stoked fears that Pyongyang was closer to producing a device small enough to fit on a long-range missile. Speculation was rife that the test involved a uranium device, though this has never been confirmed beyond doubt. A successful uranium test would mark a significant leap forward in North Korea's nuclear programme. The North's plutonium stocks are finite, but if it could enrich uranium it could build up a nuclear stockpile. Plutonium enrichment also has to happen in large, easy-to-spot facilities, whereas uranium enrichment can more easily be carried out in secrecy. The first indication was again report of an "artificial quake" in North Korea, registering about magnitude 5.1, close to Punggye-ri. North Korea later announced it had conducted its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. H-bombs, also known as thermonuclear warheads, are massively more powerful than atomic bombs, using fusion - the merging of atoms - rather than fission to unleash enormous amounts of energy. Though again it has never been confirmed, that claim alarmed the international community. Observations from afar suggested the blast detected was not large enough to have been a full thermonuclear device, but may have involved some nuclear fusion. Again, North Korea said the device had been miniaturised. A few months later, Kim Jong-un announced that North Korea scientists had been able to do what had long been feared, and make a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on a warhead. It came after days of threats to carry out "indiscriminate" attacks on the US and South Korea. But analysts said it was impossible to confirm. The decision to grant an NI Open spot to the top under-18 finisher is an innovation in the amateur event. Pop star Niall Horan's golf management company came up with the idea in order to boost youth golf. Last year, Horan's company invited Tom McKibbin to play in the NI Open. 2015 World Under-12 champion McKibbin went on to perform creditably as he hit rounds of 80 and 76. Horan's Modest Golf are again involved in promoting this year's NI Open and are also backing the earlier amateur event. "These guys are the future stars of the game and we want to support this next generation of talent," said Mullingar man Horan. The format for the amateur event on 18 July will again be two rounds of strokeplay and competitors will be aiming to follow a previous list of winners which includes Cormac Sharvin, Dermot McElroy, Reeve Whitson and Tiarnon McLarnon. Ballymena man McElroy, who has now turned professional, won the amateur event in 2013 and went on to finish an outstanding ninth at the NI Open a few weeks later. Sharvin and McElroy have already filed entries for the Challenge Tour event which will take place from 10-13 August. The disease, caused by a lack of vitamin D or calcium conjures images of peaky looking Dickensian urchins. But figures obtained by the BBC show that in Northern Ireland prescriptions for Vitamin D have more than doubled in the last 10 years. And public health advice for the UK recommends that everyone should take it in autumn and winter. Low vitamin D levels can lead to brittle bones and rickets in children. The figures from the HSCNI show a dramatic rise in Vitamin D prescriptions over the last 10 years: The data does not include Vitamin D bought over the counter. But why have prescriptions rocketed so much in the last decade? We are used to slathering ourselves in sunscreen seeing the burning ball of gas above us as public enemy number one. This is with good reason - malignant melanoma rates have risen over the past 30 years from an average of 103 cases per year in the mid 1980s to 332 cases a year at present. While it may be a given that we need to protect ourselves from harmful UVA and UVB rays, if we are not getting vitamin D from the sun, how can we up our intake? An extensive review of the evidence, carried out by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN), suggests everyone over the age of one needs to consume 10 micrograms of vitamin D each day in order to protect bone and muscle health. The Public Health Agency in Northern Ireland published an updated version of its leaflet on vitamin D in August. It highlights the importance of vitamin D supplements for particular groups, including babies, children aged between 1 and 4 years, as well as people whose exposure to sunlight is limited, and those with darker skins. It also outlines new recommendations that all adults and children aged five years and over should consider taking vitamin D supplements during the autumn and winter months. Belfast dietician Gillian Killner says climate and diet are factors. "It's a very important micronutrient, but also a hormone and we don't get enough of it where we live in the northern hemisphere so we do need to supplement," she said. "In terms of where we get our Vitamin D - the way we eat means we don't eat a lot of fatty fish any more, nor eggs and butter and nutrient rich foods - so without the sunshine and nutrient rich foods we won't be able to achieve it orally. "That's another reason a baseline Vitamin D supplement is very useful for not only children, elderly, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Everyone should really consider a supplement if they're not getting lots of sunshine and nutrient rich foods," she said. But she was also keen to point out that she thinks intake of the vitamin should be monitored. "I have been an advocate for it for many years, but it is something you do need to monitor. It is an antagonist to vitamin A." Ms Killner recommends taking it for six months of the year and having a break in the summer. Benjamin Wyatt, 34, was last seen at Half Moon Bay, a beach in Melbourne, while on holiday with his parents. The Bath man, who has autism, disappeared about 14:15 local time on Tuesday (04:15 GMT) while his family went to pick up a car, police said. "Ben has never had a night out on his own before," his mother, Diana Wyatt, told reporters on Wednesday. "Ben, if you are listening, if you are watching, come back. Be brave - go to the policeman." Mr Wyatt's father, Phil, urged locals to look out for his son, who has travelled alone at home but is unfamiliar with Melbourne. Searches by police, including the use of a helicopter, have failed to provide any leads. Mr Wyatt is 170cm (5ft 7in) tall and described as having a solid build, an unshaven face, short light-brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded jumper and blue jeans. Ms Walmsley, who joined the UK's biggest drugmaker in 2010 from L'Oreal, will replace current chief Sir Andrew Witty in March 2017. Ms Walmsley describes herself as "extremely competitive" with "a bit of a bias for action". She will be the firm's first female chief executive, and one of only seven female FTSE 100 chief executives. She spent 17 years at French cosmetics firm L'Oreal, where she worked in the UK, Europe, the US and China in marketing and management. Ms Walmsley joined GlaxoSmithKline in 2010, and became a member of the executive team in 2011, running the division selling products including toothpaste, headache tablets and the malted barley drink, Horlicks. The firm produces a broad spectrum of medical and consumer products from prescription medicines, vaccines and HIV treatments to skincare products. Big firms have come under increasing pressure to change a culture where women can find it difficult to get into the boardroom. Between 2012 and 2014, nearly three quarters of FTSE 100 companies had no female executives at all on their boards. And data suggests that the gender pay gap widens after women return to work after their first baby. Ms Warmsley, who is married with four children, will become chief executive of by far the biggest firm in the FTSE 100 with a woman at the top. Analysis: Simon Jack, BBC Business editor Emma Walmsley will become one of the most powerful business figures in the UK when she takes over as chief executive of GSK in March of next year. The pharmaceutical giant is the fourth most valuable public company in Britain with 100,000 employs around the world, 16,000 of them here. GSK has changed dramatically under her predecessor Sir Andrew Witty, with Ms Walmsley an important agent in that change. After working at L'Oreal for 17 years, she was hired in 2010 in to boost the consumer products division which sells brands like Sensodyne and Panadol and now makes up nearly a quarter of the company's revenues. This diversification was a key strategy of the outgoing Sir Andrew Witty who believed it would mitigate the risks involved in drug development. It was not without its critics, with many investors arguing the company would be worth more split into separate businesses. After a bumpy few years punctuated by poor financial performance and drug mis-selling scandals in the US and China, GSK has recently hit a more confident stride. Its shares have risen 20% over the last year and it recently invested £275m in expanding its UK manufacturing facilities. In a statement, Ms Walmsley said: "I am delighted and honoured to be appointed GSK's next CEO. "I'm looking forward to working with Andrew and other leaders over the next few months to ensure a smooth handover and to develop plans for 2017 and beyond." Sir Andrew has been with GSK for more than three decades, having started as a management trainee. During his nearly ten years as boss, Sir Andrew has overseen initiatives such as the firm's plan to drop patents in the world's poorest countries. The firm has been developing what could be the world's first malaria vaccine as part of a thirty-year project. He has also weathered storms including China fining GlaxoSmithKline $490m (£297m) in 2014 after a court found it guilty of bribery and the revelation that GSK cut secret tax deals with the authorities in Luxembourg in 2012. As well as Horlicks, GlaxoSmithKline's consumer healthcare business includes brands such as Aquafresh toothpaste and Tums indigestion tablets. Ms Walmsley's appointment could be seen as a signal that GSK will keep its consumer operation as a core part of its business. "Under Andrew's leadership, GSK has successfully developed into a company with market-leading positions in pharmaceuticals, vaccines and consumer healthcare," chairman Philip Hampton said. "These provide excellent platforms for sustainable, long-term growth, and we are confident Emma will successfully build on these strengths." GlaxoSmithKline employs around 16,000 people in the UK, with about 6,000 of those employed in manufacturing. Farah, 31, failed to break Steve Jones's 29-year-old British record of two hours, seven minutes 13 seconds and finished in 2:08:21. Kipsang set a course record 2:04.27 with compatriot Stanley Biwott second. Edna Kiplagat pipped fellow Kenyan Florence Kiplagat in the women's race with debutant Tirunesh Dibaba third. Welshman Steve Jones set the British marathon record of 2:07.13 when he won in Chicago in 1985. Jones holds the top three times - Farah set the fourth fastest time and a new English record Farah elected to sit among the second pack of elite runners, but soon found himself 38 seconds behind the lead group, headed by Kipsang, at the halfway mark. That gap increased to 49 seconds after 15 miles and then over a minute by the time they reached 19 miles. The Briton, who won 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the 2012 Olympics and last year's World Championships, also made errors at two drinks stations when he tried to pick up fluids. Despite missing out on the British record, Farah recorded the fourth fastest time by a Briton and set the fastest time by an Englishman. Asked if he would do another marathon, Farah, who finished almost four minutes behind the winner, said: "Yeh, definitely, 100%. I'm not going to finish it like this. I will be back. "Why would Mo Farah want to take on guys like Wilson Kipsang in the marathon in the future? These guys are just so strong. I hope Mo stays on the track, runs the shorter distances and defends his title in Rio. I just think this is too much of an unknown territory for Mo." "I would have been disappointed to do my first marathon somewhere else. I gave it my all but I just wish I gave a little bit more to the crowd and all the supporters. "It was pretty tough. I'm quite disappointed but you try things and if they don't work, at least you gave it a go. It was really just the pace - I should have gone with the front group. The pacemakers I had were slightly ahead of me but you learn - life goes on." Former British world champion Paula Radcliffe believes Farah made the correct decision in choosing to make his marathon bow in London. "If you are a British runner and you want to attack the marathon, you do it in London, there is no better stage," she told BBC Sport. "The plan was to go through the first half at slower pace and that was what he did, but he wasn't quite able to come back in the second half of the race. I think he has found out what the marathon is all about." Farah has yet to decide whether he will return to the track in time to compete at the Commonwealth Games, which begin on 23 July. Race winner Kipsang, who set the world record of 2:03:23 in Berlin last year, stayed among the lead pack until he and countryman Biwott broke away with just over six miles remaining. In the last two miles, Kipsang showed his class to ease away from the 2012 Paris champion and eventually finish 26 seconds ahead of his rival. "I took advantage of controlling the pace and the guys," Kipsang, who also won in 2012, told BBC Sport. "I saw that Biwott was really strong. It was becoming more tricky. My main target was to win and run a course record." Briton Chris Thompson, who took 10,000m silver behind Farah in the 2010 European Championships, finished 11th on his marathon debut in a time of 2:11:19, well inside the qualification time for both the Commonwealth Games in July and European Championships in August. Meanwhile, the women's race developed into a three-way fight between the Kenyan pair and marathon debutant Dibaba, the Olympic 10,000m champion, until the Ethiopian made a mistake at a drinks station that cost her about 15 to 20 metres on the leading pair. They then battled neck-and-neck until the final 150m when Edna Kiplagat outpaced Florence Kiplagat to win by three seconds in a time of 2:20.21. Amy Whitehead and Emma Stepto were the first British women home in 13th (2:34.20) and 14th (2:36.05) place respectively. The Senora Trust wants to bring the Senora, which was built on the Wear in 1908, back from a scrapyard. They said the boat was weeks away from being used as firewood. The restoration will be carried out by 24 trainees and is hoped to be completed for Sunderland's hosting of the 2018 Tall Ships Festival. North East builders' merchant James Burrell donated £10,000 to the restoration campaign, with the rest coming from public donations. The Senora Trust is now working to raise £250,000 to launch the next phase of the project. Kim Simpson from the trust said: "Now that we have purchased her for Sunderland, she will become The People's Yacht, creating training and jobs. "When she is restored to her former glory, she'll give hundreds of people every year the chance to enjoy sailing for themselves." Shares around the world have been boosted by hopes that the US Federal Reserve will push back rate rises following weak US jobs data last week. The benchmark FTSE 100 index closed up 128.31 points, or 1.88%, at 6,961.77. Oil-related shares saw big gains following a sharp rise in the price of crude on Monday. BG Group rose 6.7% while Premier Oil jumped 13%. But the rise in oil costs hit shares in airlines, with British Airways owner IAG down 1.2%. Shares in Royal Mail rose 1.3% to 448p following news that Dutch parcels delivery firm TNT Express had agreed to be bought by US firm FedEx. The takeover has raised speculation that there could be more deals in the sector. On the currency markets, the pound was boosted by a strong survey of the UK's services sector. The latest Markit/CIPS services purchasing managers' index (PMI) recorded an eight-month high of 58.9 last month. The pound rose 0.13% against the dollar to $1.4849, while against the euro it climbed 0.48% to €1.3693. The National, which was launched after last year's Scottish independence referendum, had previously been available from Monday to Friday. It printed its first Saturday edition a week ago, after the general election. The paper's editor, Richard Walker, said the response had been so good they had decided to continue with the weekend edition. He said the management team behind The National had certain expectations when it was launched, and the paper had exceeded those. Mr Walker, who also edits the Sunday Herald, said: "For now, The National will be printed every Saturday as long as there is a public demand for it. "Although people also get their news from the internet and from other sources there's still a clear demand for newspapers. "And there's a particular demand for a newspaper like the National which looks at things through a certain prism, which in our case is a support for independence which is not a view which is expressed in any other newspaper in Scotland, apart from the Sunday Herald." Last financial year the hospital failed to hit the target of seeing 95% of A&E patients within four hours in every month apart from October. It also failed in every month to meet the 18-week target for treating patients referred by GPs. South Devon Healthcare NHS Trust said it was facing "unprecedented high levels of demand for services". The health regulator said on its website: "Monitor is requesting further information following multiple breaches of the A&E and referral to treatment (admitted) targets, before deciding next steps." If problems persist Monitor has the power to put the hospital into special measures and order changes. "We are at an informal evidence-gathering stage and it is not likely to automatically lead to further action," said a spokeswoman. "We are supporting and advising them to avoid it going any further." A report to the trust's last board meeting, earlier this month, said failure to hit the A&E waiting time targets reflected "the demand pressures facing the trust". Liz Davenport, the trust's chief operating officer, said: "Like many other trusts, the past 12 months have been our most challenging." She said changes including measures to avoid overnight stays were "achieving progress". "In April 2015, 93.9% of patients attending ED [the emergency department] were seen within the four-hour target - this is a significant improvement from our overall position last quarter of 84.9%," she said. "We are closely monitoring our performance in these areas to ensure that we continue to improve patients' experience and deliver quality care." The Royal Society for Public Health says only half of parents understand why their children are being weighed and few find the information in the letter useful. It says parents need more support to help tackle child obesity. Currently, a fifth of UK children leaving primary school are obese. And one in 10 children in Reception classes - the start of primary school - is obese. The National Child Measurement Programme, which was launched in England in 2005, checks the height and weight of children as they join and leave primary school, to track their progress and provide important data for the population. There is no direct equivalent of the scheme in Scotland or Northern Ireland, but Wales has had a similar Child Measurement Programme since 2011. A poll of 678 parents by the RSPH suggests many are unaware of the scheme and what the results it yields mean. Shirley Cramer, RSPH chief executive, said: "Our research finds that only one-fifth of parents find the 'fat letter' useful, and we believe that the letter should be seen as the beginning of a dialogue with parents, not simply flagging whether their child is obese." The RSPH wants: Some local authorities do offer supplementary advice along with the letter, but many do not. A spokeswoman for Public Health England said it provided guidance to local authorities but that ultimately it was "up to them" how they communicated the information to parents. "We provide local authorities with extensive guidance on how to do this sensitively and also where parents can find additional support," she said. "The letter to parents is not a 'fat letter', as we encourage it to be sent to all parents regardless of their child's weight. "It is difficult for any parent to receive information that suggests their child has excess weight, so we take great care to ensure this is done as sensitively as possible." Yassin Salhi, 35, reportedly sent the photo to a Canadian mobile phone number via the WhatsApp messaging service after Friday's attack near Lyon. His boss Herve Cornara's head was found alongside Islamic flags. The suspect is accused of ramming a vehicle into an area containing flammable liquids, causing a blast. Police have so far not found any motive or possible foreign connection, prosecutors say. In response to the attack, President Francois Hollande held a security meeting with ministers on Saturday. Prime Minister Manuel Valls cut short a visit to Latin America to return to France which is on its highest state of alert after the attack in the small town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier some 40km (25 miles) from Lyon. Yassin Salhi had been investigated in the past about his alleged links with Islamist militants. Officials and residents of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier gathered outside the town hall on Saturday morning to observe a minute's silence. Investigators are still trying to establish the identity of the recipient of the selfie. They were unable to immediately confirm media reports that it was an unspecified person now in Syria, AP news agency reports. The agency quoted the Paris prosecutor's office as saying the suspect had begun speaking to investigators after initially keeping silent. Mr Salhi was arrested at the Air Products factory on Friday morning. Anti-terror police searched the apartment of the father-of-three in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, taking his wife and sister into custody. It is alleged he was waved through the gates of the factory because he was a regular delivery driver. The severed head of Mr Cornara was found placed on factory railings. It is unclear when he died. President Hollande said: "We have no doubt that the attack was to blow up the building. It bears the hallmarks of a terrorist attack." US-owned Air Products makes gases and chemicals and has employees in 50 countries around the world. Chief Executive Seifi Ghasemi said: "I believe I speak for all of our Air Products family around the world in expressing our deepest sympathies to the family of the victim of this unspeakable act." According to a report in the French newspaper Le Figaro (in French), a friend of Herve Cornara witnessed heated arguments between the delivery firm boss and his employee "several times". Mr Cornara, 54, is said to have been a well-known figure in the town of Fontaines-sur-Saone. He led a tenants' association and campaigned for better amenities in the area. "He fought with local authorities when the heating wasn't working," another friend recalled, speaking to AFP news agency. "He got involved in the campaign to save the post office." The Thai parent company was earlier granted an application to wind up the UK arm of its business at the High Court in Manchester. On Monday, it was announced the plant on Teesside was to be mothballed with the loss of 1,700 jobs. In response the government made an aid package of "up to £80m" available for those affected but has ruled out state intervention at the plant. In an email to staff, the director of SSI UK Cornelius Louwrens said he would try to determine how operations would be affected but there would be a focus on keeping the coke ovens - essential for any future steel making on the site - burning. Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community union, said it was "devastating news". He said: "Government must ensure that the industrial assets are protected and skills are retained to give steel making a chance of a future. "We believe there are parties who could ensure that the industrial assets are mothballed safely, with reduced environmental impact, and we would encourage the liquidators to look favourably on this option as offering the best opportunity to secure a return to creditors. "A community on Teesside is looking to the government to take further action." He said SSI had shown a "lack of respect" to the workforce and the company "should do the right thing and get out of the way so others can give steel a chance of a future on Teesside." The GMB union said it was seeking to establish what liquidation would mean for workers. Gareth Stace, director of trade group UK Steel, said: "It may be too late for SSI but the situation in Redcar brings the problems facing the UK steel sector into sharp relief. "The government must now spearhead efforts to support the steel industry and the supply chains it feeds. "The steel site in Redcar remains a viable and efficient plant and the government-led steel summit taking place in two weeks will be a make-or-break event for the entire industry." Earlier, the government revealed its aid package but it was swiftly followed by Business Secretary Sajid Javid warning of "more bad news to come" . He said the package would include retraining and help for those setting up small businesses but ruled out government intervention to save the steelworks. "With the global price in steel collapsing by more than a half because of huge over-capacity in just a year alone, and this plant making steel at a cost which is above the world price, I don't think anyone realistically has looked at this and thought that there's a way to keep this going as a viable business," Mr Javid said. "Notwithstanding the EU state aid rules that would make it illegal. So that's why our focus has rightly been around making sure that the workers get the support that they need - and that's what this package is about." In an interview with BBC Look North political correspondent Mark Denten, David Cameron said the government had done "everything we can to help". He said: "We have supported this industry but this business has never turned a profit, has always been in loss. "Steel prices have collapsed the world over and the judgement we make is that it is best now to put this £80m into helping people to get the skills, to get the work, to get new jobs and we will do everything we can to help the area." Asked if the Northern Powerhouse had failed at its first big test, the prime minister said he did not accept that. He said: "The concept of a Northern Powerhouse is not that you step in and subsidise an industry when I'm afraid it hasn't been able to do anything but make losses." Business Minister Anna Soubry said: "I'm extremely hacked off, truthfully. Because if we'd had all these meetings we had yesterday nine months ago, who knows where we'd be today? "It wasn't us (the government), our problem, and this is a long, sorry story. (We) have not been kept in the full picture as to what's been happening at SSI. "It's not lost on anybody the importance of keeping the coke ovens going, we know that if you don't have the coking ovens working they will collapse. "All the people that need to be aware of the importance of keeping the coke ovens alight know that, they know the need to act quickly. "Forget the Thai parent company, forget them completely. They've got their own problems of debt so bad they have gone into this rehabilitation order. The three people in charge are the three Thai banks. "The most important thing is what happens now with the £80m support package. "Some of it will go on redundancies but the majority is to get people into the training and the skills they need for alternative work." But Redcar Labour MP Anna Turley said: "The government has today thrown in the towel and turned its back on steelmaking in Teesside. "We do not accept their view that a hard closure is the only option and I am deeply disappointed they have rejected all of the options presented to them so far. "We will continue to fight to ensure there is a future for steelmaking at the site but realise now we will get no help from government. Our attentions now turn to working with the official receiver to establish how debts, salaries and pensions will be paid and, crucially, how the site will be secured for the future." She said she welcomed the £80m government support package but said her fear was that it would not go far enough and said she wanted answers on how the money would be spent. 28 July 2016 Last updated at 08:58 BST Elephants are the world's largest land mammal and helping that many of them move home is a humongous challenge. They're being relocated as part of a project to help protect the species. The number of African elephants has declined due to poaching and it's hoped this herd could restore elephant populations in other parts of Africa in the future. Guide: What is poaching? Prince Harry is in Africa and will be helping the project run smoothly. Kensington Palace said in a statement: "One of the projects he will work with is African Parks' 500 elephants initiative, which will see one of the largest and most significant elephant trans-locations in conservation history." Jenny has more on the big African move... In March, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) said it would test technology over a two-year period to help with goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties. That was set to start no later than the 2017-18 season but Infantino said testing would "start now and will take two years". The Swiss, who succeeded Sepp Blatter as boss of world football's governing body in February, added: "This means that by March 2018 we will see if it works or not. "I really hope that the World Cup in Russia will be the first World Cup where video refereeing is used to make refereeing maybe better." In the experiments, a video assistant referee will have access to video replays during matches and will either review an incident on request or communicate with the referee proactively about an incident that may have been missed by the officials on the field of play. On a visit to Moscow, Infantino also said he had received assurances from the Russian government that the economic crisis engulfing the country would not affect preparations for the 2018 tournament. Meanwhile, Uefa has selected British company Hawk-Eye as the goal-line technology supplier for all matches at Euro 2016. The camera-based system that is used in the Premier League was chosen ahead of Germany-based Goal Control, which was in operation at the 2014 World Cup. European football's governing body Uefa decided to introduce the technology in January after incidents where goals had not been given despite crossing the line. Co-hosts Ukraine were denied such a goal against England at Euro 2012. In contrast to the Premier League, Uefa has previously opted to use additional assistant referees in its competitions, including the Champions League, and will continue to use five officials at Euro 2016 in France. "Goal-line technology and additional assistant referees complement each other perfectly," Uefa's chief refereeing officer Pierluigi Collina said. Hawk-Eye, which uses seven cameras per goal, was chosen after a selection process in which all four Fifa-licensed goal-line technology providers were invited to provide information and submit commercial offers. It was the first company to receive a Fifa goal-line technology license and, in addition to the Premier League, it is already used in the Bundesliga and Serie A as well as in the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada. Officers said it was a "despicable" crime and appealed for the public's help in catching the man responsible. The victim was sitting in her home in North Street on Tuesday afternoon when a man entered the property at about 15:40. He claimed to have seen someone running from the house and said he believed the pensioner may have been robbed. The suspect then asked the householder to check her property and accompanied her into another room where she examined her purse which contained what has been described as a substantial amount of money. Nothing appeared to have been taken at that time but a number of cupboards had been opened and items strewn about. The man then distracted the woman before leaving the property having now stolen her purse. The suspect is said to be in his 30s, about 5ft 6in tall, clean shaven with blond hair and spoke with what was thought to be an English accent. He was wearing a pale denim jacket and a light coloured flat cap. Anyone with information about the man is being urged to contact police. Blencathra was put up for sale by the Earl of Lonsdale in May 2014 to help settle a £9m inheritance tax bill. The Friends of Blencathra raised about £246,000 in an attempt to buy it for the community. However, they admitted defeat in September when told they would need to offer in excess of £1.7m. The fell was later withdrawn from sale. In a statement on its Facebook page, the friends group said it has been advised by the Charity Commission that it is legally obliged to return the donations, including those which were less than £10. Spokesman Dave Wheeler said the group wished to commence the refund procedure "as soon as possible" and was in discussion with the commission over the process. Any money that cannot be returned will be given to charities working to preserve the Lake District's landscape. A commission spokeswoman said responsibility fell to the group to contact donors. "They must also advertise to give any other donors who can show they made a donation the opportunity to reclaim or disclaim their donation. "Trustees are permitted to retain from each donation a sufficient amount to cover the administrative expenses of return," she added. The American, 41, admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his seven of his Tour de France wins in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. By speaking to Usada, the disgraced cyclist would have been eligible to have a lifetime ban reduced. But a statement said he "will not participate in prosecutions... that only demonize selected individuals". Armstrong was initially given until 6 February to meet Usada officials but was allowed a further two weeks to decide whether to be interviewed. An agreement appeared close when Usada said he wanted to "assist in the effort to clean up the sport of cycling" when they agreed to the extension, although those hopes have been dealt a blow with the release of his statement. The Texan's statement, released by his attorney Tim Herman, said he is willing to help with the investigation but will not be interviewed by Usada. It added: "Lance is willing to cooperate fully and has been very clear: He will be the first man through the door, and once inside will answer every question, at an international tribunal formed to comprehensively address pro cycling, an almost exclusively European sport. "We remain hopeful that an international effort will be mounted, and we will do everything we can to facilitate that result. "In the meantime, for several reasons, Lance will not participate in Usada's efforts to selectively conduct American prosecutions that only demonize selected individuals while failing to address the 95% of the sport over which Usada has no jurisdiction." Usada chief executive Travis Tygart said the agency will continue their investigation to clean up cycling without Armstrong. In a statement, he said: "We have provided Mr Armstrong several opportunities to assist in our ongoing efforts to clean up the sport of cycling. "Following his recent television interview, we again invited him to come in and provide honest information, and he was informed in writing by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) that this was the appropriate avenue for him if he wanted to be part of the solution. Media playback is not supported on this device "Over the last few weeks he has led us to believe that he wanted to come in and assist Usada, but was worried of potential criminal and civil liability if he did so. "Today we learned from the media that Mr Armstrong is choosing not to come in and be truthful and that he will not take the opportunity to work toward righting his wrongs in sport. "At this time we are moving forward with our investigation without him and we will continue to work closely with Wada and other appropriate and responsible international authorities to fulfil our promise to clean athletes to protect their right to compete on a drug-free playing field." Armstrong was charged by Usada in June 2012 with using performance-enhancing drugs. He filed a lawsuit against the organisation the following month, accusing them of "corrupt inducements" to other cyclists to testify against him. However, Armstrong then announced in August that he would not fight the doping charges filed against him, and was given a life ban by Usada and stripped of his Tour de France titles. The findings were accepted by the International Cycling Union. Armstrong, who retired from cycling in 2005 but returned to the sport between 2009 and 2012, has called for a 'truth and reconciliation commission' overseen by the World Anti-Doping Agency to look into the issue of doping in the sport. The 24-year-old was sold to the Clarets for £2m in 2015 by then-United manager Louis van Gaal. He made his England debut on 22 March this year and is shortlisted for the Professional Footballers' Association young player of the year award. Any deal for Keane would allow United to activate a 25% sell-on clause from the player's initial transfer. If the transfer did go through, it would be the second summer in succession that United would have bought back one of their former academy players following Paul Pogba's world-record £89m return in 2016. United manager Jose Mourinho has identified his defence as an area he wishes to improve in the summer and is expected to make significant changes to his squad. Mourinho's men cannot finish in the Premier League top five after they lost against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday coupled with Arsenal's 2-0 win against Sunderland two days later. The Red Devils have two games remaining, starting with a trip to Southampton on Wednesday before hosting Crystal Palace on Sunday. Stockport-born Keane played in the same 2011 FA Youth Cup-winning side as Pogba and made five senior appearances for United. He joined Burnley after spells on loan at Leicester, Derby and Blackburn. Steve McClaren, former England manager on BBC Radio 5 live I'm surprised Manchester United got rid of him in the first place. We took him on loan at Derby a few years ago when he was 19 or 20 years old. He wasn't physically ready at that stage. He came in as cover for 10 games and was absolutely outstanding. The potential future was there for all to see. He was a modern centre-back - he could get a goal from set-pieces and was aerially very good. He could also bring the ball out from the back and step into midfield. Michael has since cemented a place at Burnley and established himself as a top centre-back. Denbighshire council wanted to create a new bilingual school by shutting Ysgol Pentrecelyn and Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd in Ruthin and opening a new site. Pentrecelyn parents had campaigned vigorously against the plan, saying the school's Welsh character would be lost. Councillors have been advised to keep the school when they vote later. In August, the High Court quashed the closure decision following a claim brought by former Pentrecelyn pupil Aron Wyn Jones, who argued the council had failed to take into account the language and community impact of a single site school. All pupils in Ysgol Pentrecelyn are educated in Welsh, whilst in the Church in Wales Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd pupils can be educated in either Welsh or English, with 80% choosing Welsh-medium education at present. At the time of the ruling, Denbighshire council said it was disappointed with the outcome of the decision and would reflect on the guidance given by the court. In a report to Tuesday's cabinet meeting, head of education and children's services Karen Evans said as the judicial review did not criticise the objectives, it would be "perfectly logical" for the authority to consider whether to restart the consultation on the original proposals whilst acknowledging criticism of the process. However she continued: "The authority also needs to consider the wider impact based on the current situation." She said the council must give due regard to the impact of any future proposal on community cohesion, in particular that which had an impact on the learners themselves. "It is clear from discussions with both school communities that there is no appetite to revisit the same proposal in the current circumstances," Ms Evans added. "The authority agrees that conducting a consultation on the same proposal, even with a perfect process, risks further community divisions and legal challenges. "It is equally clear that the status quo for Ysgol Llanfair cannot continue and that the area is in need of a sustainable category 2 [bilingual] school." Councillors have been recommended to allow Ysgol Pentrecelyn, which currently has 56 pupils, to remain open and for a new Church in Wales school to be built in Llanfair on a safer site closer to many of the pupils' homes. Women's rugby is growing on the performance side, but I also think the style of rugby is now the most exciting to watch. The level of interest has been helped by the fact that more matches are being televised. At the start of the tournament, people would have expected holders Ireland or France to dominate. But England have really proven themselves and so have we, while even sixth-placed Scotland are playing a good style of rugby now too, ensuring people are not putting 60 points on them. That is really important as well because it shows that all teams across the board are developing, especially with our win against France and England's win against Ireland. Can England women win the Grand Slam against France on Friday? They are up against it. Facing France in France is not easy. But if they perform as they did against us, they will deserve the Grand Slam. They deserve credit for the way they have played and not many teams expected what they have produced. Our disappointing 20-13 loss to England last Saturday was still an excellent game - you did not know which way it would swing. And while we have got to be disappointed with our first-half performance, we can be really proud of the positives in the second half. It shows how we are developing as a squad because, two years ago, if we had gone in at half-time, we might not have come back at all. Every time England turned us over, they put us in the corner, the momentum completely swung. Keeping the ball has to be a key thing in our game in future. But we can do it. It is about consistency. And we know from the fact that we lost away to Italy last year and they are building each year, they will punish us on Sunday if they can. But we have won all our home games so far this year and we need to go out and perform. It is a huge chance for us to finish the campaign on a high. Before the start of this championship, we wanted at least two wins, to guarantee World Cup qualification, so I think the pressure is off a bit in the sense that we have now qualified. But finishing with a 100% home record would go someway towards people starting to fear playing Wales away from home. Throughout the next year, core skills will be a massive focus for us so, come the 2017 World Cup, we are as sharp as possible. And the rugby sevens is going to do wonders for the profile of the women's game this summer. With the European Championships and then the Olympics in Rio, attention will remain on women's rugby and Welsh women's rugby. After Rio, people are going to say: "I want to play rugby." Wales have two sevens-format stars to look out for too, who are possibly heading for Rio with Team GB. Laurie Harries and Jasmine Joyce both had a really good run at the World Series qualifiers. Australia and New Zealand usually dominate the Sevens Series and will be contenders in Brazil. But France are also among the European teams with a good chance if they perform well. One loss can cause a big upset - that is all part of the excitement of sevens. Sian Williams was talking to BBC Wales Sport's Tom Garry. If you've been inspired by Sian to try rugby you can find out how to get involved here. The A712 near New Galloway has been closed at Ken Bridge. Diversions have been put in place. The structure was damaged after being struck by a tractor and trailer loaded with slurry. It has been reported that precautions are being taken to prevent a leak of slurry into the River Ken. Police in Lake County say they believe they have found the remains of Bruce Beven Burns, 65, and Leonard Neft, 69, in the ruins of their homes. Both fires still raged on Thursday but cooler weather and rain brought some respite for firefighters. The Valley and Butte fires have destroyed more than 700 homes. Barbara McWilliams, a 72-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis, died earlier in the week after being unable to get out of her house. All three victims died when the rapidly moving Valley Fire swept through mountain communities north of the wine-producing region of Napa Valley on Saturday, forcing thousands of people to flee. In the past 24 hours, nature has given a little back, offering northern California's firefighters some much needed time and rest. At lunchtime on Wednesday a hard rain began to fall on the blackened ground, damping the flames and turning ash and soot to mud. By sundown the downpour was intense. Surely this would extinguish the Valley Fire, smouldering over an area twice the size of San Francisco? Not a chance, one firefighter told me, as he rested on a ridge in the mountains, the fire hissing in the brush around us. Such was the intensity of this blaze that it would take more than a day's deluge to put it out, he predicted. Sure enough, as dawn broke - bright, clear and warm - fire chiefs confirmed that the Valley Fire was still burning and was expected to flare up again as high temperatures return. Nature's respite was all too brief. Nearly 600 homes are confirmed to have been destroyed in the Valley Fire along with hundreds of other structures. More than 7,500 residential properties remain at risk, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Calfire). The agency says the Valley Fire now covers 73,700 acres and is 35% contained. The other two deaths were further east in the Butte fire, which covers 70,760 acres and is 49% contained. It has destroyed about 250 homes. Across California, nearly 13,000 firefighters are battling eight large wildfires. The company blamed high wage costs resulting from the country's minimum wage, introduced at the beginning of this year. The 200-year-old family firm paid its workers between €5.50 and €6.50 before the introduction of the €8.50 minimum wage, according to German media. It has been unable to cope with the additional costs. Steinbach is based in Hohenhameln in northern Germany. The nutcrackers it produces are particularly popular as Christmas decorations and are collected around the world, especially in the US. Current boss Karla is the sixth generation Steinbach to run the firm. A worker on CNR International's Murchison platform was airlifted to hospital when a hose fell from a crane in December. Diamond Offshore Drilling was also served with a notice over corrosion and a blockage in a fire fighting system. It was discovered on the Ocean Guardian drilling rig. The Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) said the last forecast was scheduled to be issued on 17 April. However, weekend reporting may continue after that date if wintry conditions return. SAIS assesses avalanche hazard in six areas - Lochaber, Glencoe, Creag Meagaidh, Southern Cairngorms , Northern Cairngorms and Torridon. So far this season, the organisation's team of forecasters have recorded fewer avalanches than last winter - 170 compared to 237. However, an avalanche has been suspected as causing the deaths of two climbers in February. Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team believe Rachel Slater, 24, and Tim Newton, 27, from Bradford, were caught by an avalanche before starting a climb on the North Face of Ben Nevis. This season, SAIS teams have encountered mixed weather conditions. Often the weather has changed from freezing temperatures and snow to milder conditions and a thaw in the space of 24 hours. SAIS has been providing its service, which begin in December, for several years. The six areas are among the most popular with hillwalkers and climbers, and include Scotland's highest mountains. He died on Wednesday at his home in Gweedore, County Donegal, surrounded by his family. His daughter, Moya, tweeted: "We will miss him so much but what a wonderful life." Mr Brennan spent much of his life playing accordion, saxophone and singing with the Slieve Foy Dance Band. In 1968 he set up 'Leo's Tavern'. It became synonymous with Irish traditional music attracting many star names. Cathal Póirtéiron, a writer and presenter with RTÉ, knew Leo Brennan well. "Anybody who knew Leo at all would have very fond memories of him because he was just a very decent man. "You couldn't walk through the door of the pub but he'd have a quick look and if you'd ever been fortunate, or unfortunate enough, to have been called to sing a song or play a bit of music 10, 15 or 20 years before that, Leo would remember and the call would come and you really couldn't refuse him. He was really a very generous man. "I would have started going up to west Donegal in the 70s and 80s and if you went in to Leo's he would be playing and if you went to the Errigal hotel in Gweedore his sister Anne-Marie would be playing." A statement on Enya Brennan's Facebook said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Enya's father, Mr Leo Brennan. "Enya had the opportunity to be with her father during his last days. Leo died peacefully this morning at home, surrounded by his family. "Our thoughts are with Enya at his time. Enya and her family request privacy during this time, as you will understand." Five family members, including four of Leo Brennan's children, began their musical career forming the group Clannad. They achieved worldwide fame with their distinctive brand of Celtic harmony. Enya left the group and went on to pursue a successful solo career, selling more than 80 million albums around the world. Moya Brennan has been nominated for two Grammys and won an Emmy Award as part of the team involved in a two-part American documentary on Irish music. Leo Brennan's funeral will take place in Derrybeg, County Donegal on Friday.

Now, the Forth Bridge is expected to be granted Unesco World Heritage Site status, putting it alongside the Pyramids of Egypt, the great Wall of China and the Sydney Opera House in terms of cultural significance. We've brought together some facts and figures - and some great pictures - of one of Britain's best-known structures. When it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the then Prince of Wales, the Forth Bridge was the longest cantilever bridge in the world and the first major crossing made entirely of steel. Though regarded as a Scottish icon, it was designed by two English engineers, Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker, and took eight years to build at a cost of £3.2m. Seventy one workers are known to have been killed during construction. Spanning 1.5 miles (2,529m), weighing 53,000 tonnes and containing 6.5m rivets, the bridge, now operated by Network Rail, still carries 200 trains per day between over the the Firth of Forth, linking Fife with the Lothians. As its fame grew beyond the world of engineering, the bridge entered the common lexicon when the job of painting it was used to represent a task that never ends. However, in 2011 it was revealed that the latest paint job, which took 10 years and cost £130m to complete, should last for at least 25 years. In 1964, the famous rail crossing was joined on the firth by the Forth Road Bridge. A third bridge, the Queensferry Crossing, is currently under construction at a cost of around £1.4bn and is due to open in late 2016. On nomination for World Heritage Status, Unesco was unstinting in its praise for the bridge, with its inspectors stating: "Innovative in design, materials, and scale, the Forth Bridge is an extraordinary and impressive milestone in bridge design and construction during the period when railways came to dominate long-distance land travel." Finn, 26, felt some tightness in his left side during England's series-clinching victory at the Wanderers. The Middlesex paceman was sent for scans on Sunday morning, with the results due on Monday. Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan or Mark Footitt could replace him for the final Test, which starts at Centurion on Friday, as England target a 3-0 win. "I doubt very much whether he'll be available for the next Test," said England head coach Trevor Bayliss. "We'll have to wait and see how bad it is and make a decision on the one-day and Twenty20 series. "But at this stage it looks like we have to make a replacement heading into the last Test. That's unfortunate because I thought he was probably our most dangerous bowler in the first two Tests." Finn was not in the initial squad for the South African tour after missing last year's series against Pakistan with a bone stress injury in his left foot. But he was called up in mid-December after proving his fitness and took 11 wickets at an average of 26.09 in the first three Tests. The fourth Test will present another opportunity for Alex Hales and Nick Compton, who were brought into the England top three for the South Africa series, to cement their places in the side. Compton, batting at three after a two-and-a-half-year absence, made 85, 49 and 45 in his three first Test innings of the tour, but has since passed 26. The 32-year-old, who has the second-lowest strike-rate of any batsman to have played 20 innings in England's top three since 1980, fell for a duck trying to complete the run chase in Johannesburg with a loft down the ground. "I was quite happy with what he tried to do," said Bayliss. "It sent a message that he was playing for team. "The boys were having a joke about the chances of him hitting a six to win the game, then we thought he might have done it. It was a good catch to get him out. "He's done pretty well. He's a solid cricketer and with him and Alastair Cook in the order, the rest of the attacking players can bat around them." Hales, who made his debut in the first Test and became Cook's eighth opening partner in three years, has made 120 runs in six innings, including a maiden half-century in the second Test. "He's done reasonably well in this series," said Bayliss. "In the first Test in Durban, he looked like he belonged. "He was struggling with illness before the third Test, so hopefully he can get over that and show us what he can do in Centurion." Sixers, who lost their first six group games and are now on a nine-game winning streak, will meet city rivals Sydney Thunder in Sunday's final. Hurricanes, led by England's Heather Knight, made 86-8 from 14 overs. Set 55 from eight overs to win, Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry helped Sixers to a 10-wicket win with 10 balls to spare. The Duckworth-Lewis-adjusted target proved too easy for Australia stars Healy (32 not out) and Perry (22 not out), who raced to their target without loss. Sixers were also indebted to veteran ex-Australia spinner Lisa Sthalekar, who came out of retirement for this tournament and took 3-9 from her three overs. She captured the key wickets of captain Knight (16), Erin Burns (26) and New Zealand left-hander Amy Satterthwaite (24) - the only three Hurricanes players to make double figures. It leaves Sixers all-rounder Laura Marsh as the only England player left in the WBBL, although she did not play in the semi-final and has only featured in six of their 15 games. Also at the MCG on Friday, Melbourne Stars beat Perth Scorchers by seven wickets in the second men's Big Bash League semi-final, joining Sydney Thunder in Sunday's final. Tracy Houghton, 45, died instantly along with her sons Ethan, 13, and Joshua, 11, and her partner's daughter Aimee Goldsmith, also 11, when Tomasz Kroker smashed into stationary traffic. Kroker, 30, was jailed for 10 years. He was scrolling through music selections at the time of the crash. It happened on the Oxfordshire/Berkshire border on 10 August. The commendations recognise the outstanding work, bravery and dedication of the officers that responded to the collision. Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Francis Habgood presented them during a ceremony at Sulhamstead Force Training Centre in Reading on Tuesday. Henry Parsons, head of roads policing at Thames Valley Police, said: "I think the fact that three children were involved in this crash makes it stand out for the wrong reasons. "The officers involved were very proud to be recognised but ultimately none of them wanted to be there, they just think they're doing their job." Insp Andy Storey, Sgt Jack Hawkins, Det Sgt Gavin Collier, PC David Beeson, PC John Simpkins, PC Philip Hanham, digital communications officer Ellie Selby and media officer Lucy Billen were all recognised at the ceremony. Ms Selby, who made an awareness video using footage from the crash, said: "A commendation like this shouldn't exist, people shouldn't be using their mobile phones, and a family should still be alive today. "So it's a sobering occasion for many reasons. A lot of good has come from the video that was produced, but hopefully we don't have to create another video like that ever again." Efforts are under way to rescue the remaining miners at the Xiaojiawan mine in Panzhihua city in Sichuan province. The blast happened on Wednesday evening when about 150 miners were underground, city officials said. By Thursday morning, more than 100 people had been rescued and taken to hospital, reports said. Chinese state television said rescue teams had retrieved the bodies of 16 miners who died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Another three people died in hospital. The mine is owned by Zhengjin Industry and Trade Co Ltd. Its officials are assisting in a police investigation, the city government said in a statement on its official microblogging site. Accidents are frequent in China's mining industry, which is criticised for poor safety standards. Official figures show that 1,973 people died in coal mining accidents in the country last year. While this represented a 19% drop compared to the year before, some have suggested that actual numbers could be higher as not all incidents may have been reported. China's central government has introduced measures aimed at improving standards but these directives are often ignored at local level. Just after 11am in the chilly and cavernous interior of the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios, director Sam Mendes revealed the next Bond film will be called Spectre - a name that goes back to the very roots of the world's longest-running film series. Mendes, who also directed previous Bond adventure Skyfall, said the new film had "everything you would expect from a Bond movie" with "a little more variety... maybe a little more mischief". Filming starts on Monday with a scene involving Daniel Craig's superspy and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) in her office. "I've wanted to involve Spectre for many years and Spectre is back," Bond producer Barbara Broccoli said at Thursday's launch event. The global crime syndicate - Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion - first appeared in Ian Fleming's original novels and was mentioned in the first Bond film, Dr No, in 1962. It has been the subject of a legal case with a rival film producer that was recently resolved after many years. While nothing is confirmed, the speculation now is that Bond's old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld - the head of Spectre - will make an appearance in the film. "I don't see the point of using Spectre unless they are going to use Blofeld as well," said Professor James Chapman of Leicester University, and author of Licence to Thrill: A Cultural History of the James Bond Films. But he doubted Blofeld will appear the way he was portrayed in the 1960s films. "I don't expect to see a man with a stroking a white cat sitting inside a hollowed-out volcano hijacking rockets. "The recent films have been about modern plausible villains - terrorists and backers of terrorists in big business. I think we might see Spectre modelled along those sorts of lines." First appearing in the Ian Fleming novel Thunderball (1961), Spectre is an acronym for the clumsily-titled Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Headed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, it began as a small enterprise of like-minded criminals. But, as the book and film series developed, it grew to include the criminal masterminds of the Gestapo, the Mafia and Smersh (among others) to create a diabolical - but, crucially, apolitical - empire of evil. It appeared in three of the 007 novels, but gained greater prominence in the film series where Blofeld, with his white Persian cat, played the antagonist seven times. The films also saw the organisation become more closely aligned with the Cold War-era Soviet Union than Fleming had envisaged. Its logo was an octopus, which is echoed in the first poster for the new Bond film. Skyfall is the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK and made more than $1.1bn (£705m) at the worldwide box office. Broccoli told the BBC the budget for Spectre was "higher" than for Skyfall. "Obviously we have a hell of a challenge ahead of us - we want to make this the best Bond movie ever. "All the money is going to be on the screen as always. That's the thing my father [original Bond producer Cubby Broccoli] always insisted since the very beginning - don't disappoint the fan. "We believe that we've got a great movie and can't wait to get started on Monday." Even with a bigger budget, Mendes admitted "money is still tight" and he was still "cutting and adjusting things". "The fantasy that I had before I directed my first Bond was that finally you get to have all the money you need to make a movie - but the bigger the movie, the more the pressure. "For me the pressure is just as big as it was on the last one - not for financial reasons, just because you want to make a great movie." Everyone was staying tight-lipped about the plot at Pinewood. Here's a sample exchange with Christoph Waltz, who plays a character called Oberhauser, but many speculate might turn out to be Blofeld. Q: Tell us about your role. A: Absolutely not. Q: Are you playing Blofeld? A: No, I'm playing someone called Oberhauser. Q: And what kind of baddie is he going to be? A: Who says it's a baddie? Ralph Fiennes, who plays the new M, said Dame Judi Dench's M "still haunts this movie in a way you'll find out". He added: "There's an interesting follow-on from things in other films - I wouldn't say it's a sequel but there's a connective tissue." Andrew Scott, who will play an MI6-based character called Denbigh, said: "This script is very moving but it's still got all those elements of adventure and action and great wit." Asked how the secrecy on Bond compared to that on BBC drama Sherlock, in which he plays Moriarty, he responded: "My whole life is a secret." Ajay Chowdhury, of the James Bond International Fan Club, said the details of the new film were like a "Christmas present" for Bond fans. "This announcement is like opening the first window of a Bond advent calendar. Further windows will be: who will sing the song, the first trailers, the premiere. "The only thing better than this news would be Santa driving an Aston Martin sleigh." Expect much speculation over the coming months about who will sing the theme song after Adele's Oscar-winning Skyfall. Some cast members at Pinewood on Thursday hinted they already knew who it was. Bookmaker William Hill puts Sam Smith as favourite at 4/1, with Ed Sheeran second at 6/1, while Lana del Rey, Rita Ora and One Direction are at 8/1. With so much rumour still floating around the long-running franchise, Mendes revealed how he plans to cope in the months ahead. "This marks the beginning of the year where I don't read the internet," he quipped, before disappearing behind the scenes on the 007 stage to prepare for his opening shots.

They now face Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer of France on Saturday, in a repeat of last year's final. Fellow Briton Jordanne Whiley will also defend her women's wheelchair doubles title on Sunday. Whiley and her Japanese partner Yui Kamiji won 6-4 6-4 in their semi against Dutch top seeds Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot. They will now face second seeds Marjolein Buis and Diede de Groot - also from the Netherlands - who beat Britain's Lucy Shuker and Germany's Sabine Ellerbrock 6-4 6-1 in the other semi-final. Earlier in the day, 19-year-old Hewett lost to Fernandez in the last four of the men's wheelchair singles. The Argentine second seed, 23, avenged his French Open final defeat by Hewett last month, coming through 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-3.

The state government had argued that the clearance was necessary as the slum posed an "environmental risk". It is yet to respond but it has ignored such verdicts in the past. Otodo-Gbame - one of the many informal fishing settlements in Africa's most populous city - has been emptied in waves of clearances since November last year. In March, the homes of about 5,000 people were razed to the ground, with reports of people being chased into the water on boats. The high court judge ordered the government cease evictions and pay compensation. Crowds cheered outside a packed courtroom where many of the evicted residents had gathered for the ruling. The judge ruled in their favour, saying that the eviction of their community violated their rights because there was no resettlement plan in place. Lagos State previously denied that they demolished the slum and said it was destroyed by a fire, after which they cleared the remains because it was unsanitary and posed a fire risk. But it seems that account didn't hold sway in court. The clearing of Otodo-Gbame is seen as part of a state-wide policy to clear up to 300,000 people from informal waterside settlements. The charity is calling for more to be done to tackle inequality which it says is an important factor when it comes to people taking their own lives. The most recent figures show that almost 700 Scots took their own lives over a 12-month period. The Samaritans report highlights the role played by inequality. It said poor housing, debt and bleak employment prospects were all factors in the suicide rate being three times higher among the most deprived 10th of the population compared with the least deprived 10th (22.1 deaths per 100,000 population compared with 7.3). In 2015, 672 people took their own lives in Scotland. The report, "Dying from Inequality", highlights clear areas of risk to communities and individuals, including the closure and downsizing of businesses, those in manual, low-skilled employment, those facing unmanageable debt and those with poor housing conditions. Samaritans' chief executive Ruth Sutherland said: "Suicide is an inequality issue which we have known about for some time. This report says that's not right, it's not fair and it's got to change. "Most important of all is that for the first time this report sets out what needs to happen to save lives. "Addressing inequality would remove the barriers to help and support where it is needed most and reduce the need for it in the first place. "Government, public services, employers, service providers, communities, family and friends all have a role in making sure help and support are relevant and accessible when it matters most." James Jopling, executive director for Samaritans in Scotland, said: "Everyone can feel overwhelmed at times in their life. Those who are at risk of suicide are people that have employers, who seek help at job centres, go to their GP, people that come into contact with national and local government agencies, perhaps on a daily basis. "So in the light of this report we are asking key people and organisations from across society in Scotland to take action to make sure their service, their organisation, their community are doing all they can to promote mental health and prevent the tragedy of suicide. "Each suicide statistic is a person, with or without family, friends, community, colleagues. This report is a call for us as individuals to care more and for organisations that can make a difference, to do so." In Inverclyde, which has the highest suicide rate of any local authority in Scotland, the local Samaritans branch attend homeless lunches, providing support to the most vulnerable in the community who often have complex needs. Samaritans has already started addressing some of the inequalities driving people to suicide. It now plans to hold discussions with relevant agencies. Alison Watson, deputy director of Shelter Scotland, said: "All too often our services see people who have run out of hope as they cope with homelessness and the reasons behind it such as relationship breakdown, redundancy or low income. "In the long term we need a co-ordinated effort to end the shortage of affordable homes but right now we need to see targeted investment in the services which support people when they are at their most vulnerable. "With council budgets under pressure it is important that services for people who have lost their homes are protected as these are undoubtedly a lifeline for many."

The man, aged between 65 and 75, was found fully clothed near Dove Stone Reservoir, Oldham on 12 December, 2015. The day before, he had gone into a pub and asked the way to "the top of the mountain" after travelling by train from London to Manchester. Toxicology reports found traces of strychnine poison but police say they still do not know who the man is. Strychnine is now used primarily as a pesticide, particularly to kill rats. Greater Manchester Police said no wallet, mobile phone or other identification was present when the man's body was discovered by a cyclist. Their investigation is on-going. A spokeswoman said: "The cause of death is provisionally strychnine poisoning pending confirmation by the coroner at [the] inquest." The man had £130 in cash and three train tickets, including a return to London Euston, in his pocket. In January, police released CCTV images of the man in the hope somebody would be able to identify him. He arrived at Ealing Broadway just after 09:00 GMT on 11 December and was next picked up by CCTV at 09:50 at Euston, buying a return ticket to Manchester Piccadilly. After arriving in Manchester at 12:07, he spent 53 minutes wandering around the station before heading into the city centre. The next sighting was at the Clarence pub in Greenfield, Saddleworth, where he asked the landlord how he could get to the top of the hill. Police describe the man as white, of slim build, with a receding hairline with grey hair to the side and back. He had a large nose that may have been previously broken, and was clean shaven. He wore a brown heavy jacket, blue jumper, white long-sleeve shirt, blue corduroy trousers and black slip-on shoes. The 21-year-old, who joined Celtic from Belgian club Beerschot for £900,000 two years ago, has agreed a four-year-deal at St Mary's. Kenya international Wanyama was the Scottish Premier League's young player of the year last season and scored a header in the 2-1 Champions League win over Barcelona. The fee is the highest ever received by a Scottish club for a player. Southampton is a good club and it has good players, so I just want to train hard and work hard to be a part of the starting XI. We'll see where that will take me "It feels great and I am happy to be here," said Wanyama. "There were other options, but Southampton is a club with ambitions so I chose to come here. "Southampton is a good club and it has good players, so I just want to train hard and work hard to be a part of the starting XI. We'll see where that will take me. "I'm very grateful to be here and I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League." He scored nine goals last season, including against Barca. Following that famous victory, manager Neil Lennon suggested the powerful midfielder was worth £25m. In October, it was revealed that Wanyama had rejected the offer of a contract extension, with Lennon repeatedly encouraging the player to reconsider. Wanyama made his international debut in 2007 against Nigeria aged just 15 and moved to Belgium the following year. The sale of Aiden McGeady from Celtic to Spartak Moscow for £9.5m was the previous record fee paid for a player from Scottish football. Wanyama is Southampton's second signing of the summer and follows Croatian Dejan Lovren to the club. Gemili, 23, finished fourth in the 200m at Rio 2016, just three thousandths of a second away from a bronze medal. However Jamaica-based duo Zharnel Hughes and Miguel Francis are among fierce competition for the two spots on offer at July's British team trials. "Making that team - you'll know you are among the world's best," said Gemili. "It is going to be really difficult. The depth is great and everyone is going to have to be in good shape for the trials because nothing is given." Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, the second-fastest Briton of all time over 200m after a run of 19.95 seconds in May 2016, Olympic semi-finalist Danny Talbot and promising 21-year-old Reece Prescod are some of the other contenders for a place in the British team. Media playback is not supported on this device Francis had previously run for Antigua and Barbuda, but opted to switch to Britain in April. The 22-year-old is eligible for Britain as he was born in Montserrat, an Overseas Territory without its own Olympic team. "For me it was slightly strange," said Gemili of Francis' decision. "I don't really know his personal reasons for changing, but if anything it is more difficult to make the team in Britain than it is in Antigua. "It is cool. It makes it more competitive. I'm excited to meet him and get to know him. He will be a great addition to the British sprinters." Gemili switched from coach Steve Fudge to the Netherlands-based training group led by American Rana Reider after last year's Olympics. The rivalry between the two training camps became unfriendly in 2014, with reports of physical and verbal confrontations, but Gemili insists Britain's top sprinters get on better now. "Everyone is close and gets on and when someone runs fast, you are genuinely happy that people are being successful. It make you raise your own performance and run even faster," he added. As well as competition from his compatriots, Gemili hopes the power of his own mind will help him find the fractions of the second necessary to win his first major championships medal at senior level. The morning after finishing fourth in Rio, Gemili spoke to psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, who is famed for his work with the likes of Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins and snooker great Ronnie O'Sullivan. Gemili recalled: "He really hit me with it. "'I don't know what you were expecting,' he said. 'There is no guarantee of a medal. It is OK to be disappointed, but if you don't want to feel like this, go and do something else. This is what sport is like.'" Gemili concludes: "I know that next time it comes around I don't want to be that close again." Men on motorbikes fired at a queue, killing her and wounding three others. The opposition blamed a "paramilitary" gang. Video from the scene showed people rushing away from the gunshots. Many fled to a church. Venezuela is in crisis, and more than 100 people have died in political clashes since April. Opposition spokesman Carlos Ocariz said of the shooting: "We lament this very much, with great pain." Prosecutors said they would investigate the incident, and the woman was named as Xiomara Soledad Scott. She died minutes after reaching hospital. Separately, journalist Luis Olavarrieta was kidnapped, robbed and beaten by a group of people. He managed to escape and images emerged of him receiving medical attention. An official vote will be held on 30 July for a new assembly, which would have the power to rewrite the constitution and to dissolve state institutions. But critics say the new assembly could herald dictatorship. Opposition politicians organised Sunday's unofficial poll, held in improvised polling stations at theatres, sports grounds and roundabouts within Venezuela and in more than 100 countries around the world. Voting has now closed. While the vote was only symbolic, BBC South America correspondent Katy Watson said the opposition hoped that a high turnout would heap pressure on the government. As well as voting on the assembly, people are being asked whether they want fresh elections before Socialist President Nicolas Maduro's term ends in 2018 and whether they want the armed forces to defend the current constitution. Queues started to form early and there was a festive atmosphere in most places. But President Nicolas Maduro described Sunday's vote as "meaningless". "They have convened an internal consultation with the opposition parties, with their own mechanisms, without electoral rulebooks, without prior verification, without further verification. As if they are autonomous and decide on their own," he said. Catia, where the shooting happened, is a poorer part of the Venezuelan capital where support for the socialist government, headed first by Hugo Chavez and since his death by Mr Maduro, has historically been high. Mr Maduro argues that the constituent assembly is the only way to help Venezuela out of its economic and political crisis. He has said that a new constitution would "neutralise" the opposition and defeat "coup-plotters" and thereby promote peace in Venezuela. Opposition leaders fear that the process of setting up a new constituent assembly and rewriting the constitution would almost certainly delay this year's regional elections and next year's presidential election. They also fear that the constituent assembly would further weaken the National Assembly, Venezuela's opposition-controlled legislative body. More on Venezuela's turmoil The 29-year-old Spain forward was the club's top scorer in 2012-13 with 22 goals in a spectacular first season after a £2m move from Rayo Vallecano. But he has not played for them since April 2014, and spent last season on loan at Napoli, where injuries meant he only played six times. His Swans contract, which he extended in January 2013, ran until next summer. He has not featured in Swansea's squad since returning from Napoli, with chairman Huw Jenkins saying in May the player was unlikely to play for the club again. He is expected to return to Spain, having been training with fourth-tier side Langreo. Michu won a Spain cap and was linked to Arsenal after his surprise first season in British football. He told the BBC a power surge, had "only lasted a few minutes", but the back-up system had not worked properly. He said the IT failure was not due to technical staff being outsourced from the UK to India. Mr Cruz said he was "profusely sorry" to the thousands of passengers still stranded at airports worldwide. He said two thirds of passengers will have reached their destination by the end of the day. There was no evidence of a cyber attack, he added. A leaked staff email revealed Mr Cruz had told staff not to comment on the system failure. When asked about the email he told the BBC the tone was clear: "Stop moaning and come and help us". The airline is now close to full operational capacity after the problems resulted in mass flight cancellations at Heathrow and Gatwick over the bank holiday weekend, affecting 75,000 passengers. So far on Monday, 13 short-haul flights at Heathrow have been cancelled. Heathrow advised affected BA passengers not to travel to the airport unless their flights had been rebooked, or were scheduled to take off on Monday. Passengers on cancelled flights have been told to use the BA website to rebook. Until now, Mr Cruz had only posted videos on Twitter apologising for what he called a "horrible time for passengers". BA is liable to reimburse thousands of passengers for refreshments and hotel expenses, and travel industry commentators have suggested the cost to the company - part of Europe's largest airline group IAG - could run into tens of millions of pounds. Davy analyst Stephen Furlong said the cost to the carrier of cancelling one day of operations was around £30m. Shares in IAG listed on the Madrid stock exchange are currently trading down by about 2.5%. Customers displaced by flight cancellations can claim up to £200 a day for a room (based on two people sharing), £50 for transport between the hotel and airport, and £25 a day per adult for meals and refreshments. Ian Sanderson, one of the affected passengers who is stuck in transit in London, said he was "incandescent with rage" after being unable to rebook his flight, or speak to a member of staff. Speaking on Sunday evening, he said: "I've bombarded them with about 100 tweets in the last 24 hours. I know that's annoying but there's nothing else I can do. "We've tried to call them on the numbers they give and all we've got is the same recorded message which then cuts off at the end." Now, 71 years later, that work continues through the Bavarian State criminal office (LKA) in Munich, that has created a virtual reality version of the Auschwitz concentration camp to assist with the continued prosecutions. Digital imaging expert Ralf Breker is behind the project: "We spent five days in Auschwitz taking laser scans of the buildings and the whole project to complete took about six months." About 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed at Auschwitz, most deceived into entering gas chambers where cyanide-based pesticide Zyklon B was released, killing those inside. Their bodies were then burned in the camp's many crematoria. Initially the model was created to be viewed on a computer monitor, but it has now been adapted so that once the viewer puts on a VR headset they can examine the camp from almost any angle. Towards the end of the war the SS destroyed most of the camp's files and records as well as the gas chambers and crematoria, leaving only one remaining, which at the time was used as an air raid shelter. In order for Ralf's model to be useful in court it had to be as accurate as possible. "We searched the Auschwitz archives and we were lucky, we found blueprints from all of the buildings that had been destroyed - so we were able to recreate them," he said. The VR version of Auschwitz is yet to be used in court, however, the 3D computer model was used in the most recent war crimes prosecution of wartime SS camp guard Reinhold Hanning. In June this year, Mr Hanning was sentenced by a German court to five years in jail for being an accessory to at least 170,000 murders. Mr Breker notes that the 3D model aided the prosecution. "In the court decision the judge explicitly referred to the model and said that the model made it possible to grasp what Reinhold Hanning would have seen from his post at the watch tower." While many senior members of the Nazi regime faced trial for their crimes, many of the junior SS officers or camp guards who also perpetrated crimes in the camps escaped justice. Germany's Central Office for the Investigation of National Socialist crimes was established after World War Two in the town of Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart. Today, its staff are still attempting to identify Nazis guilty of committing crimes in the camps. "We think that each part of the machine was important - even the lower rank SS guard has to take his share of responsibility," said Jens Rommel, the chief senior prosecutor who runs the office. "I have heard the question very often, is it really worth continuing now 70 years after the war? But I think it's still important for the German state to do so, because these crimes were organised by the state and I think it's a task for the legal bodies to prosecute those crimes." He thinks the 3D model of Auschwitz is useful in specific trial circumstances. "This model is a helpful tool and it's especially important when it comes to a specific line of defence, a defence strategy used in almost all cases," he said. "The defendant admits that he was in Auschwitz but generally he says that he didn't know anything about what was going on in Auschwitz. And here the 3D model can help to understand what the person involved could see from his position." Beyond its use in war crimes cases, Mr Breker thinks the criminal justice system will make more use of VR in the future. "I think that within five to 10 years, virtual reality will become a standard tool for police, not just in Germany but all over the world because it's a way to make scenes of crime accessible even years later." Mr Breker usually works with cutting edge technology to provide evidence in contemporary capital criminal cases, but, even with his experience working at Auschwitz had an effect on him, "We have been at crime scenes that are terrible, but Auschwitz is in a league of its own. We met the director of the Auschwitz archives and he told us a lot of details about the industrial scale of the killing and it took quite an emotional toll." Ian O'Mara, 55, suffered head injuries after being struck in Manchester last October and died in hospital. His two-year-old dog Tia was pronounced dead at the scene in Princess Road. Colin Ayrton, 65, of Brown Lane, Heald Green, was given a 16-week jail term suspended for two years at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court. Mr O'Mara's widow Glynis said in an earlier statement: "We are relieved that the coach driver has taken responsibility for his actions by pleading guilty. "However nothing can ever bring Ian back and losing him has had a massive effect on the whole family...Life will simply never be the same for all of us." The guides died in an area just above Base Camp at 5,800m (19,000ft). The avalanche was the worst accident in modern history on the world's highest peak. As a mark of respect, climbing was suspended for the day on Saturday. Services were also held at Base Camp and in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. Monks held prayers with relatives of those who died. One of the victims was Ang Kaji Sherpa, a single father of five. His daughter, Chhechi Sherpa, said: "There is a vacuum in our family, no-one to guide or scold us. We are on our own." At Base Camp, members of the British Army's Gurkha brigade, which is made up of Nepalese soldiers, took part in a commemoration ceremony on Saturday. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of the brigade, and the British Army is aiming to help a serving Gurkha soldier to reach Everest's summit. The accident took place in the Khumbu icefall, a portion of ragged glacial ice that can flow at more than a metre (3ft) a day. It is one of the first major obstacles that Everest climbers encounter. After the tragedy, Mt Everest's 2014 climbing season ground to a halt, and there were calls for greater compensation for sherpas. Nepal's mountaineering association says sherpas' pay and welfare have since improved and weather forecasts are now more detailed. The route up Everest has also been altered. But sherpas are demanding that helicopters be allowed to carry equipment part of the way up the mountain to limit the number of dangerous trips they must undertake. It is a move Nepalese climbing operators have so far resisted. A BBC reporter at Base Camp says there are 300 climbers there waiting to launch a bid for the summit. Sakho, 25, withdrew from Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations squad with a back injury but scored 18 days later in West Ham's 1-0 FA Cup win at Bristol City. Fifa rules state a player cannot appear for his club if he is meant to be on international duty. World football's governing body has begun an inquiry but the Hammers "vigorously" deny any wrongdoing. If West Ham are found guilty, Fifa could order the Football Association to overturn their victory over the League One side. Fifa is investigating a "potential violation" of its regulations by both the club and striker Diafra Sakho over his selection - but has declined to give a timescale on proceedings. The Hammers are set to visit Premier League rivals West Brom in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday, 14 February. The Football Association is refusing to comment but is believed to be aware of Fifa's investigation. Senegal are angry Sakho featured for West Ham, albeit as a substitute, 48 hours before they were knocked out of the Cup of Nations. Media playback is not supported on this device The Hammers insist the player had a back injury that prevented him from flying and claim he was driven to Ashton Gate in a limousine for the FA Cup tie on 25 January. A Hammers statement claimed Fifa's inquiry was "clearly unfounded" and requested its dismissal. West Ham boss Sam Allardyce said he was advised not to select Sakho for Saturday's 2-0 loss at Liverpool while the dispute was ongoing. And unless the matter is resolved this week, Sakho looks set to miss Sunday's home game with Manchester United. Bristol City declined to comment on reports they would seek £250,000 in compensation if Fifa finds West Ham broke the rules. Devon County Council said 23 children from the "Jungle" camp in Calais arrived at the temporary centre near Great Torrington. But Councillor James McInnes said the figure now stood at 20 after some were considered to be over 18. The all-male group arrived by bus at about 03:00 BST. More on the child migrants, plus other Devon and Cornwall news Mr McInnes said Devon County Council was contacted last week by the Home Office about the site in north Devon. "I understand that a couple were rejected because they were considered to be too old," he said. "It goes up and down - it was 23 at one point this morning and now it's 20." The migrants, originally from Afghanistan, Sudan and Syria, could stay in Devon for up to six weeks. It is believed they will receive medical checks before they are reunited with family members or moved to other parts of the country. The exact location of the centre is not being released. A source told the BBC most of those expected in Devon were over 16 years old. The children were transported from Croydon, south London, where they were taken from the Jungle camp by a private security company. The Home Office said they were unaccompanied, vulnerable children. Conservative MP Geoffrey Cox said he hoped the community would "rally round" as up to 70 children are expected to be sent to the centre in total. Mr Cox, MP for Torridge and West Devon, said: "I hope that the community will feel that we need to rally round to assist these very vulnerable young people on compassionate grounds, if nothing else, because I firmly believe we need to do our part to assist what is a terrible situation that has been allowed to develop in Calais." Great Torrington resident Laurence Mustoe said some migrants "have come here for the wrong reasons". He said: "We have enough. They get all the benefits and they get pushed to the top of the waiting list for housing over other people." Resident Kate Blundell said: "I thought they were going to come here permanently so I was disappointed to hear they are going to be temporary. "I worked with refugee children in north London and they were an absolute credit to themselves." Robin Julian, leader of the Devon UKIP Group and Devon County Councillor for Bideford South and Hartland, said: "I have been assured that should anybody have any criminality or found to have lied about their age they will be sent back. "It is good that we are doing our bit as long as it doesn't affect local people. We are so desperate here - we are a poor area. I have been led to believe that all monies are going to be funded by central government and I hope that is the case because we are really struggling." The Czech won 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 20 minutes to claim her eighth WTA title and follow up her most recent victory in Brisbane in January. A rain-affected week meant Pliskova played her quarter-final, semi-final and final within 24 hours. "It was an unusual week for me. It was not easy with all the stoppages," said the 23-year-old world number three. "I'm having a great start to the year, which is always important. Last year was a breakthrough. Reaching the US Open final was my biggest result. It gave me a lot of confidence." Wozniacki, a former world number one, is set to rise three places to 15th in the new rankings next week. "I've been proud of how I've been playing this week," said the Dane. "I'm disappointed with the loss, but Karolina has been playing well." Philip Harper, 46, of High Street, Meldreth, Cambridgeshire, died from a gunshot wound to the chest on 29 June. He had been hunting on farmland near Melbourn with his friend Ian Catley when he was shot. Catley, 40, of Metcalfe Way, Melbourn, told police Mr Harper had asked him to test the vest. He admitted manslaughter and was jailed for seven years. Mr Harper had bought what he believed to be a bullet-proof vest from a surplus store the day before, Cambridgeshire Police said. In a statement to detectives, Catley said he had shot at his friend in response to his request to test the vest. Mr Harper suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the chest and although Catley drove him to Melbourn ambulance station, paramedics were unable to save him. Catley pleaded guilty to manslaughter on 13 November. Sentencing him to seven years in jail at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Jeffrey Pegden QC told Catley: "You shot Mr Harper at a distance of less than 20 feet, causing him catastrophic injuries and immediate death. "You then, straight away, took him to hospital but tragically nothing could be done to save his life." Det Insp Ian Simmons, said: "This is a particularly sad case, where a foolish incident ended in tragedy. "These second-hand protective vests should not be relied on whatsoever to protect you from gunshot and I'm urging people to take this as a warning." City were beaten 2-0 at York on Tuesday, having lost 1-0 at Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday in League Two. "I thought we finished flat again, I don't know why," he told BBC Devon. "I think we've played very well for the first half, gone a goal down and I didn't see the sort of response I wanted from the team." The 43-year-old added: "I'm culpable for the result and the players are accountable for their results within." The two defeats mean Exeter stay in 13th place in League Two, eight points off the play-off places. "Our season's not over, but we've got to find a way of doing better in the circumstances," Tisdale said. "I cannot criticise the way the players started the game, there's been no apathy or a lazy starts in either of the two games this week we've lost. "Both games we've been at it, but somehow we've managed to come away with no points." "I love Ireland," said Mr Trump, adding that he would visit the Republic of Ireland during his term in office. The president told Mr Kenny he was his "new friend" and their governments would forge an even tighter bond. After their meeting on Thursday, Mr Kenny made an impassioned plea for the 50,000 "undocumented" Irish who live in US without legal permission. "This is what I said to your predecessor on a number of occasions - we would like this to be sorted," he told the president at a lunch event. "It would remove a burden off so many people that they can stand out in the light and say: 'Now I am free to contribute to America, as I know I can.'" Noting the presence at the lunch of Northern Ireland politicians Ian Paisley of the DUP and Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, the taoiseach said: "We want to protect this peace process and I know you are going to work with us in that context also." Mr Trump quoted from what he said was an Irish proverb that he had heard "many, many years ago". "Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you." Later, Mr Kenny presented Mr Trump with a bowl of shamrocks for St Patrick's Day. Mr Kenny had breakfast with US Vice President Mike Pence in Washington earlier in the day, in the company of their wives Fionnuala and Karen. That followed his attendance of the Ireland Funds America gala dinner, which included a speech in which Mr Pence emphasised the commitment of America to the island of Ireland. He said the US was pledged to securing the gains of the Northern Ireland peace process. At the dinner, Mr Pence congratulated the people of Northern Ireland for turning out to vote in high numbers during the recent assembly election. "The advance of peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland is one of the great success stories of the past 20 years," he said. "We thank those unsung heroes in Northern Ireland who, day-in and day-out, do the difficult and important work - strengthening communities, educating children, building that brighter future for the emerald isle and all who call it home." Mr Pence also recalled his Irish grandfather Richard Michael Cawley, who emigrated to the US from County Sligo in 1923, and spoke with pride about his Irish heritage. He added that he had thought about his grandfather during inauguration day in January. "The truth is that whatever honours I will receive over the course of my service as vice president, to receive an honour in the name of the Irish people and my Irish heritage will count as chief among," he said. "All that I am and all that I will ever be and all the service that I will ever make is owing to my Irish heritage." Mr Kenny presented Mr Pence with a roll book from a County Sligo school that included the name of his grandfather. He said Ireland "took special pride in the fact that, for the first time in the history of this great republic, one Irish American has succeeded another in the office of vice president". The Irish prime minister added that immigration was the main focus of his trip to the US. He said he was pursuing a process where Irish people living in the US illegally can "come in from the cold, and feel the warmth of this great country they have made their home". A number of politicians from Northern Ireland are in America this week. Mr Paisley, a DUP MP, who also attended the Ireland Funds America gala dinner, said that he expects little progress to be made during political talks at Stormont until the last minute. He said he was hopeful the political parties could get "the show back on the road". But as the fields of wheat and barley are brought in for the winter, farmers will have their eye on something other than the weather. "The exchange rate between the pound and the euro is absolutely vital. It is the single biggest determinant of the profitability of British farming," says Anand Dossa, economist at the National Farmers Union. The average exchange rate between the euro and the pound in September will determine how much money UK farmers get from the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - the source of more than half of UK farming's income last year. CAP payments are set in euros, so what British farmers get depends on the exchange rate; last year they got the worst rate in eight years. Since the EU referendum the pound has fallen to 30-year lows against the dollar and has weakened significantly against the euro. This means there could be a 15% increase in farmers' EU subsidies once they're converted into sterling - about an extra £500m. However, the weaker pound can make fuel, fertiliser and food for animals more expensive, but there is some evidence that in some areas it has already given a boost to UK produce, both at home and abroad. Foreign-sourced food has now risen in price compared to home-grown produce, and UK farmers have gained a competitive edge when selling overseas. Richard King, head of business research at The Andersons Centre, a farming business consultancy, explains: "The UK beef sector, say, sees a lot of imports from Ireland - suddenly they're more expensive. "So that just allows our prices internally to rise. But if you're exporting wheat to Spain, for example, our grain looks cheaper. It is noticeable out there already. "That leaves some thinking we've voted and we have a better situation - but of course it is only a short-term boost." The UK government has said it will make sure farmers don't lose out on subsidies until at least 2020 as the UK negotiates a deal to leave the European Union. As well as subsidies, the UK's trading relationship with the bloc is vital. "Farming is probably more international than people realise," says Mr King. "There's a mental image of a farmer leaning on his gate with a bit of straw hanging out of his mouth but these are businesses and once the goods get through the farm gate they are commodities that are traded internationally like anything else. "Grain is traded in the same way as iron ore, steel, coal." The UK exported £18bn of food and drink last year and imported £38.5bn worth. Its biggest trading partners were Ireland, France, the Netherlands and the USA. "You can trade with the French as easily as you can between the north and south of England and that's almost as good as it can be," says Mr King. The boost from the fall in the pound, both through prices and EU subsidies, was much-needed, say many farmers. Prices have been falling for almost three years in the UK. The latest data from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) shows they are almost back to 2010 levels. The NFU says many family farms in the UK "would not be viable" without state support. Defra, a department that is now headed by Andrea Leadsom, a prominent pro-Brexit campaigner, says support for farmers will form "an important part" of the UK's exit from the EU. In a statement it said: "We will work to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people; not least our farming community who play a vital role in our country." Daniel Rosario, spokesman for agriculture at the European Commission, says: "The UK remains a member of the EU with all rights and obligations of a member state. "For the time being, nothing changes." As far as the harvest goes, this year's winter barley crop was hit by bad weather in June in the run up to the EU referendum. But the crops sown in the spring had the best of a heat wave in July, so the later harvest is looking much better. "I think farmers are a pretty resilient bunch," says Mr King. "Farming has been through a lot before - foot and mouth, floods, you name it - and they will get through this too." Governing party MPs defeated the motion by a big margin, while Mr Zuma's office said he would oppose the court case. The opposition was behind both actions, accusing him of taking a bribe. Mr Zuma has denied the allegation, linked to a multi-billion dollar arms deal negotiated over a decade ago. He was first charged in 2005, and fired as deputy president by then-President Thabo Mbeki. After much legal and political wrangling, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the case in April 2009, and Mr Zuma went on to become president a month later. During a noisy parliamentary session, DA leader Mmusi Maimane described Mr Zuma as a sell-out whose main aim was self-enrichment. South Africa was "spiralling downward, and doing so at an alarmingly fast rate" under his presidency, the party added in a statement. The governing African National Congress (ANC) party said that despite the "frivolous antics" of the DA, its confidence in Mr Zuma remained unshaken. The motion was defeated by 225 votes to 99, with 22 abstentions. In the High Court, the DA's lawyers said the decision of the NPA to drop the corruption charges was unconstitutional and irrational. Mr Zuma's office said, in a statement, that the court action was an "abuse of process by a political party in order to advance a political agenda". The president was confident that the NPA's decision would "withstand any scrutiny", the statement added. At the time, the NPA said phone-tap evidence, dubbed in the local media as "spy tapes", suggested political interference in the investigation, and it was "unconscionable" to press ahead with the case. The DA brought the case after it won a lengthy battle in 2014 to obtain the "spy tapes". Mr Zuma, a former ANC intelligence chief, has been dogged by controversy throughout his time in government. Last month, he conceded in court that he needed to pay the government for money used to upgrade his private home, which included the building of a swimming pool, amphitheatre, chicken run and cattle enclosure. That case was brought by the DA and left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party after Mr Zuma failed to pay the money, despite a ruling against him by an independent anti-corruption body in 2014. In December, South Africa's currency went into a tail spin after having three finance ministers in a week. In 2005, Mr Zuma's former financial adviser Schabir Shaik was convicted of corruption. Oil company Total is tackling the leak which is below the seabed in a well being drilled from the Elgin B platform. The company said there had been an "unexpected flow" about 4km below the seabed. WWF Scotland said oil companies need to protect staff and the environment. Director Lang Banks said: "This is a worrying development, as this is the not the first time Total has had problems at its Elgin-Frankin field. "Only a few years ago, a leak on its platform complex led to an emergency evacuation and a halt to production for almost a year. "Protecting staff and the marine environment should always be priority number one for the oil and gas industry. Given the previous problems at this site, serious questions need to be asked by the relevant authorities as to what is going on." Total said the incident was "under full control at the surface" and that it was under "continuous review". A company spokesman said part of the well may need to be plugged and abandoned. GM is investing $500m (£340m) in Lyft as part of a $1bn fund raising initiative and will take a seat on the San Francisco-based company's board. "We see the future of personal mobility as connected, seamless and autonomous," said GM president Dan Ammann. Lyft president John Zimmer said his company shared the same vision. A number of technology companies, most prominently Google, are looking at developing driverless cars. Reports suggest Apple is also building prototypes of what are called autonomous cars in the US. But established carmakers are also in the race, with Daimler, Tesla and others investing in the concept. The tie-up will focus on two main areas. The first is the "joint development of a network of on-demand autonomous vehicles". Mr Ammann said that "with GM and Lyft working together, we believe we can successfully implement this vision more rapidly". "We see the world of mobility changing more in the next five years than it has in the last 50." The second is giving Lyft drivers easy access to renting GM cars. Despite various companies' best efforts to develop driverless cars, there remain many barriers to widespread adoption, critics argue. Quite apart from the technology challenges, which may in time be overcome, there are regulatory issues based on ethical arguments and insurance considerations based on questions of responsibility. The 23-year-old was left fighting for his life at the London Chest Hospital after collapsing during Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham. "There's still a long way to go but that is really positive," said Coyle. Media playback is not supported on this device Bolton owner Eddie Davies has told the BBC he plans to visit the ex-England Under-21 international on Wednesday. Muamba spent a "comfortable" night in intensive care, said a joint statement from his club and the hospital. His condition was said to be serious but no longer "critical" after he began to move and speak on Monday. Davies, who said he had watched Muamba's collapse on television, said the player was "recognising people and putting sentences together". "He was a full hour without breathing or his heart working. 20 minutes on the pitch, 20 minutes in the ambulance and 20 minutes in the hospital before they got his heart working," he said. Speaking to the BBC from his home on the Isle of Man, Davies added: "It is early days so we don't want to get over optimistic about things because people can relapse in these situations. But at the moment there are no bad signs." The club was also due to open up the Chairman's Suite at the Reebok Stadium between 1830-2100 GMT on Tuesday to allow fans an area for quiet reflection and prayer. Meanwhile, Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said football would look to learn any possible lessons from the incident but that it was "too early" to decide on changes yet. On Muamba's improving condition, he told BBC Sport: "Things are looking better, things are looking brighter and we continue to pray that he makes as good a recovery as he can." Media playback is not supported on this device Muamba was visited on Tuesday by Bolton team-mates Kevin Davies, Nigel Reo-Coker, Darren Pratley and Mark Davies, plus Spurs left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto. Ashley Cole and fellow former Arsenal colleagues Johan Djourou and Nicklas Bendtner (who both played alongside Muamba at Birmingham City) were among a number of Premier League stars who made the trip on Monday. Muamba's fiancee, Shauna Magunda, the mother of his son, Joshua, tweeted on Tuesday: "Your positivity, love and faith is helping Fabrice. For that I can only thank you all." Bolton have said they expect the club's scheduled match against Blackburn Rovers to go ahead on Saturday, although a decision is expected on Wednesday. The club's game against Aston Villa on Tuesday night was postponed, with no new date yet confirmed. There is also no update about the abandoned FA Cup clash with Tottenham. However, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said any member of his squad "not in the right frame of mind to play" after Muamba's collapse at White Hart Lane would be allowed to sit out Wednesday's clash with Stoke City. He added the news that Muamba was making good progress was "fantastic." Home Secretary Theresa May described the findings of a report by Mark Ellison QC as "deeply troubling". It is the latest development in the long-running story surrounding Stephen's murder in 1993. Read the timeline to find out more about the twists and turns in the case. The eighteen-year-old is stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack by a gang of white youths as he waits at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, with his friend Duwayne Brooks. The day after the murder, a letter giving the name of the suspects is left in a telephone box. Police surveillance begins on their homes four days later. Stephen's family hold a press conference to complain not enough is being done to catch the killers. They meet Nelson Mandela two days later. Police arrest brothers Neil and Jamie Acourt, David Norris, Gary Dobson and Luke Knight, and search their homes. Neil Acourt and Luke Knight are identified by Duwayne Brooks at ID parades as part of the gang responsible and the pair are charged with murder. They deny the charges. The CPS drops the prosecution as it says the ID evidence from Duwayne Brooks is unreliable. The Southwark coroner, Sir Montague Levine, halts an inquest into Stephen's death after the family's barrister, Michael Mansfield QC, says there is "dramatic" new evidence. There is insufficient evidence to bring charges based on the new evidence, which was believed to be the identification of further suspects - the CPS says. Stephen's parents, Doreen and Neville Lawrence, launch a private prosecution against Gary Dobson, Luke Knight and Neil Acourt. All three deny the charges. A private prosecution is the same as a standard criminal trial but not brought by the CPS. Covert video shot over several days in Dobson's flat captures him and Norris using strong racist and violent language. Neil Acourt and Luke Knight are also caught on camera using violent and racist language. The murder trial begins against Neil Acourt, Luke Knight and Gary Dobson at the Old Bailey. But the case collapses when Mr Justice Curtis rules that identification evidence from Brooks is inadmissible. All three are acquitted. The inquest resumes and the five suspects refuse to answer questions. A verdict of unlawful killing "in a completely unprovoked racist attack by five youths" is delivered by Sir Montague. The Daily Mail newspaper uses its front page to name the five men it says killed Stephen Lawrence. It invites them to sue if it is wrong. The Kent Constabulary launches its probe into police conduct, which nine months later highlights "significant weaknesses, omissions and lost opportunities". But it says there is no evidence of racist conduct. Home Secretary Jack Straw says there will be a judicial inquiry into the killing and subsequent investigation - to identify lessons for police in dealing with racially-motivated crimes. It will be chaired by Sir William Macpherson, a retired High Court judge. The five suspects are told to give evidence or face prosecution. In June, they appear and are pelted with bottles by protesters as they leave, after being accused of being evasive. The Lawrence family call on the Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon to resign. He apologises to them when he appears in October, admitting there had been failures. It accuses the Metropolitan Police of institutional racism and makes 70 recommendations, many aimed at improving police attitudes to racism. It also includes some proposals for changes in the law, including strengthening the Race Relations Act to try to clamp down on discrimination. 6 September 2002 - Norris jailed David Norris and former suspect Neil Acourt (right) are jailed for 18 months for a racist attack on an off-duty police officer in Eltham in 2001. Norris, a passenger in a car driven by Acourt, threw a drink and shouted racist abuse at the black officer. The CPS finally announces there is insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone for Stephen's murder following a review. Government drops the legal principle which prevents suspects being tried twice for the same crime. A BBC documentary investigating the case raises fresh questions about the prime suspects, prompting the Metropolitan Police to review their evidence. In October 2007, the Independent Police Complaints Commission says it has found no evidence of wrong-doing by an officer as alleged in part of the documentary. Police confirm they are investigating new forensic evidence in the case after a police review, staffed by 32 officers, was launched the previous summer. It examined evidence gathered at the time, looking at opportunities to use new technology to find leads. Doreen Lawrence opens a £10m architecture centre in honour of her son. Two weeks later vandals smash its windows in a suspected racist attack. Ten years on from the Macpherson inquiry, a report from a member of its panel, Dr Richard Stone, says the police have made significant progress in reforming but charges of racism remain. Justice Secretary Jack Straw says the Met is no longer institutionally racist, but Stephen's mother says police still fail black Britons. Gary Dobson starts a five-year jail term for supplying a class B drug after being caught during a sting by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca). Gary Dobson and David Norris are to face trial over the murder of Stephen Lawrence following a review of forensic evidence. The Court of Appeal decides there is enough new and substantial evidence to allow Dobson's acquittal to be quashed. The pair had been charged the previous September. The trial of Dobson and Norris begins at the Old Bailey. The jury hears that Stephen's DNA was found on the defendants' clothes. Dobson and Norris are both found guilty of murder at the end of a six-week trial into the death of Stephen Lawrence. During the trial, the court hears that microscopic evidence found on clothing belonging to the accused links them to the murder. The jury takes two-and-a-half days to reach its decision. Both men receive life sentences; Dobson is jailed for a minimum of 15 years and two months, Norris for 14 years and three months. The prime minister calls for an immediate investigation into reports the police wanted to smear Stephen Lawrence's family. The Guardian claims former officer Peter Francis went under cover to infiltrate the family's campaign for justice in 1993. Mr Francis tells the paper and Channel 4's Dispatches programme he was looking for "disinformation" to use against those criticising the police. On a dramatic day of developments, a review into the original murder investigation - by the barrister Mark Ellison - finds that an undercover Met Police officer worked within the "Lawrence family camp" while an inquiry into the handling of the murder was under way. It also finds there are reasonable grounds to suspect at least one detective on the team was corrupt. This leads Home Secretary Theresa May to announce a new public inquiry into undercover policing. A separate report into Operation Herne - an investigation launched by the Met into the allegations made by former undercover officer Peter Francis - finds no evidence to back claims he was tasked to smear the Lawrence family. But it does find failings regarding allegations about undercover officers indulging in inappropriate sexual relationships. The incident, which happened at Blue Lake quarry, at Friog near Fairbourne, on Wednesday, is being treated as an accident. North Wales Police said a file was now being prepared for the coroner. "Our early investigations have shown the lake is not a safe location to swim or jump into the water and our advice at this time is to stay away," said Sgt Helen Gallop.

The injured pair, in their 70s, are from the Bedford area and were hurt at about 10.30 BST on South Marine Drive near Bridlington Spa, East Yorkshire. They are being treated at Hull Royal Infirmary, said Humberside Police. The car driver, who is in his 50s and from Cyprus, has been treated for minor injuries at Scarborough Hospital. Humberside Police is looking at the possibility the driver could have become unwell at the wheel and have appealed for witnesses. Thomas O'Ware missed at the back post for the visitors in the first half while goalkeeper Derek Gaston saved well from Falkirk's John Baird. Ross Forbes was denied by a fine save from Falkirk goalkeeper Danny Rogers before Oyenuga finally broke the deadlock. The result moves Jim Duffy's side level on points with second-placed Falkirk. It means Duffy's team became the only side in the top four to take maximum points as the battle for the play-off places intensified once again, with them also having two games in hand over the Bairns. The clash of the two form teams in the Championship drew a big Saturday evening crowd of 4,584. There has been absolutely nothing between the sides so far this season, with each of the three previous league meetings being drawn, and it looked like that was going to be the case again. Lawrence Shankland and Peter Grant traded half chances before the visitors should have taken the lead with a well worked free-kick. Forbes played in Gary Oliver, whose cross found O'Ware at the far post but the defender could not add to his 10 goals this season, blasting a half-volley over the crossbar. However, the best moment of the first half came right on the interval whistle, when Fraser Aird found Baird in the box and his thumping shot from eight yards was brilliantly saved by Gaston in the Morton goal. The visitors started strongly in the second half and Rogers produced a save to match Gaston's from a terrific Forbes' free-kick. Forbes then flashed another great effort inches over the top before Baird got his bearings wrong in the box with a header which might have put the home side in front. It was Oyenuga who was to make the difference with a great header from an Aiden Nesbitt cross which flashed past Rogers for his third and maybe most important goal of the season. Falkirk first team coach James McDonaugh: "It was a tight game, and we might have been a wee bit unfortunate to not go in at half-time with the lead. "The boys worked hard but maybe we lacked a wee bit up front, but it is tight in this divisiona and we had the ambition to get a play-off place so we are still very much on course. "We can still claim that second place and we will do everything in our power to make sure we finish as high up the division as we can. A frustrating day all round, but Hibs next week is massive and we are looking forward to it." Morton manager Jim Duffy: "That was an outstanding result. Falkirk is a very, very difficult place to come and get a result like that. We got one or two little breaks, including that great save from Derek Gaston, and while we were maybe a little fortunate to win, it was a terrific result for the team. "It is Kudus Oyenuga's birthday today, so that is a great celebration for him. I would have gladly taken a point from here tonight, so to take three is excellent. "We still have a bit of work to do to confirm a top four place, but we are just happy to be up there at the top end of the league. We will enjoy the weekend and with Dunfermline to play next week the tough games just keep on coming." Match ends, Falkirk 0, Morton 1. Second Half ends, Falkirk 0, Morton 1.

The boy's mother, identified on social media as Michelle Gregg, is heard shouting in footage of the incident. She tells her son to remain calm, after he had climbed through a barrier and fallen into the pen at Cincinnati Zoo. A Facebook post, purportedly written by Michelle Gregg, thanked "the right people" for being "in the right place" and said "accidents happen". Ms Gregg later became the focus of a furious online backlash after zoo officials defended the decision to shoot the animal. Eddie Whrnbrg wrote on Facebook: "...the zoos aren't the problem. It's the idiotic parents." On Twitter @blxxm83 wrote: "So lazy parents can't control their wild kids and a beautiful endangered animal gets shot and killed because of it? #Harambe #RIPHarambe" In another tweet @brittrosenthal wrote "Sad thing is it looked like #Harambe was protecting the kid more than the parent was. #CincinnatiZoo" Some even called for Ms Gregg to be dismissed from her job. Ms Gregg posted on Facebook after the incident and at about the same time a Facebook group called Justice for Harambe was set up. An online petition signed by more than 300,000 people was also created, calling for her to be held accountable for Harambe's death. Michelle Gregg's Facebook page has since been deleted, after many accused her of being a bad mother. Other social media users with the same name have been dragged into the debate after being mistakenly targeted. This Facebook user even changed her profile picture and posted: "There is some pretty foul language in these emails... but here are some I've received today. I have also received tons of emails of people apologising for what others have said to me." In contrast to more than 100,000 likes on the Justice for Harambe page, a Facebook group in support of Ms Gregg has attracted just over 300 likes. One of its most recent posts reads: "#ISupportMichelleGregg As to the people writing disgusting things I hope you guys have a good night knowing all of you are hypocrites. Don't scream for justice and then turn around and wish death on a child." Emily Rose Clifford wrote on Facebook: "I don't normally even voice my opinion on these types of things but I just feel so sorry for this mother. I know as a mother that things and accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, even if you are a good mum." By Rozina Sini The veteran defender curled home against Hartlepool, who saw Nicky Featherstone given a 55th-minute red card, to cancel out birthday boy Nathan Thomas' first-half opener for the hosts. Luton enjoyed a bright start as Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu twice went close to opening the scoring. But Pools grew into the contest and netted on the stroke of half-time when Thomas tapped into an empty net after Christian Walton parried Lewis Hawkins' effort into his path. Craig Hignett's men almost doubled their advantage as Padraig Amond rattled the woodwork, and their frustration was only compounded by Featherstone being shown a straight red card for a lunge on Olly Lee. The buoyed Hatters pressed forward, with Jack Marriott volleying over from close range before Toto Nsiala brilliantly deflected Mpanzu's effort onto the woodwork. A leveller came when Sheehan expertly found the top corner from 20 yards, with Luton frustrated not to take all three points as Jack Marriott blazed a glorious chance over in stoppage time.

Ferguson, who had a proposed deal with Fleetwood fall through recently, joins Burton after a successful trial period. The 20-year-old was a youth player at Dagenham & Redbridge, but is yet to make a Football League appearance. Grays are currently 10th in the Isthmian League Premier Division, of the seventh tier of English football. Ferguson could be Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's final signing, with the Burton boss in talks with QPR. At a joint White House news conference, the two leaders said they were committed to an ongoing dialogue. And Mr Obama sought to assure the German people they were not subject to "continual surveillance". US-German relations have been strained by revelations US intelligence agencies had spied on Ms Merkel's mobile phone. That came out in secret National Security Agency documents leaked last year by Edward Snowden, a former technical contractor with the US electronic spy agency. At the joint appearance, Mr Obama acknowledged he was "pained" that Mr Snowden's disclosures had strained the US-German relationship. And he noted that in a broad overhaul of US electronic spying practices he ordered over the past year, he had directed US intelligence agencies to weigh the privacy interests of non-Americans as well as US citizens and residents, "in everything that they do". "These are complicated issues, and you know, we're not perfectly aligned yet, but we share the same values, and we share the same concerns," Mr Obama said. The US president said there were still "some gaps that need to be worked through" pertaining to America's policies of electronic spying on its allies, but he said Ms Merkel "should not doubt and the German people should not doubt how seriously we take these issues". And he said he anticipated those issues would be resolved to the satisfaction of the US, Germany and the rest of world. Speaking through a translator, Ms Merkel said there were "differences of opinion" to overcome on "what sort of balance to strike between the intensity of surveillance, of trying to protect the citizens against threats and on the other hand protecting individual privacy and individual freedom". "I take back the message home that the US is ready to do that, is ready to discuss this," she said. Ms Merkel has recently proposed establishing a European communications network to avoid emails and other data automatically passing through the US. The former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international moves to Molineux on a three-and-a-half-year contract. Mason, 24, scored 22 goals in 60 league starts for Cardiff, who he joined from Plymouth in July 2011 for £250,000. "We've looked at him for a while, and particularly back in August, but the deal couldn't get done," said Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett. "I like his work rate, I like his football, and I think he's a natural to play behind the striker in my ideal 4-2-3-1 formation." Cardiff are under a transfer embargo, while Wolves were in need of attacking reinforcements following the loss of three players to injury. Wales international Dave Edwards has had surgery on a foot injury, recent signing Michal Zyro faces up to eight weeks out with a calf injury and winger Jordan Graham has had an operation on his torn anterior cruciate ligament. Wolves also sold Benik Afobe to Bournemouth earlier in January for an undisclosed club record fee, thought to be about £10m. Wanderers have agreed a deal to sign Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson, who was on loan at Molineux earlier in the season while defender Scott Golbourne has joined Bristol City. Folly Farm wants to add 56 themed lodges, touring caravans and glamping facilities, including yurts, to the north of its Kilgetty site. Existing farm buildings would also be turned into a cafe, games rooms and reception area. If planners give the go-ahead, building work would begin in September with caravan sites ready for summer 2017. Director Chris Ebsworth said: "By bringing another dimension to our offer, we aim to extend our trading seasons beyond the traditional May to September window." Jedburgh, Rothesay, Penicuik, Cockenzie, Aberdeen, Maybole and Dunoon are in line for the support from Historic Environment Scotland (HES). It said the funding would allow them to "breathe new life" into the areas and encourage further investment. It is the latest round of Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) awards around the country. The full list of projects to benefit is: HES chief executive Alex Paterson said he was looking forward to seeing the results of the funding. "In Scotland's year of History, Heritage and Archaeology we're celebrating all the different elements which make up our rich and diverse historic environment," he said. "Preserving the built heritage of our town centres is a hugely important part of this, because investment in our historic environment is key to supporting improved quality of life for many people across Scotland." Most health workers were working as normal on Monday, the BBC's Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Monrovia said. A union official said the government had coerced workers to ignore the strike - but the government said it had simply asked them to be reasonable. Liberia is the country hit hardest by the deadliest ever Ebola outbreak. Health workers are among those most at risk of catching the disease. Ninety-five have died from the virus in Liberia. The latest outbreak has killed more than 4,000 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria since it was identified in March. World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Margaret Chan said the outbreak threatened the "very survival of societies and governments in already very poor countries". "I have never seen an infectious disease contribute so strongly to potential state failure," she said in a speech delivered on her behalf at a health conference in the Philippines. In the US, President Barack Obama has directed tighter safety procedures when dealing with suspected Ebola patients, after a health worker treating an Ebola victim at a Texas hospital caught the virus. Liberia's National Health Workers Association had called the strike to demand an increase in the monthly risk fee paid to those treating Ebola cases. The union wants workers to be paid a risk fee of $700 (£434) a month. The fee is currently less than $500 a month, on top of basic salaries of between $200 and $300. The association also wants more protective equipment and insurance for workers, and has accused the government of not providing enough protection from the virus. On Monday, the association's secretary-general, George Williams, said the government had put some health workers under "duress" and persuaded them to work. Liberia's Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said a strike would have negative consequences on those suffering from Ebola and would adversely affect progress made so far. The government says the scale of the epidemic means it now cannot afford the risk fee originally agreed. Information Minister Lewis Brown said the government had asked health workers to be reasonable. "We are working with them the best way we possibly can, so that they understand we should have a common interest in saving lives by fighting this disease," Mr Brown said. Source: WHO Note: figures have occasionally been revised down as suspected or probable cases are found to be unrelated to Ebola. They do not include one death in the US recorded on 8 October. How not to catch Ebola: Why Ebola is so dangerous How Ebola attacks Ebola: Mapping the outbreak Liberia has about 50 doctors to serve the country's 4.2 million people - an average of 0.1 doctor per 10,000 people, according to data compiled by the Afri-Dev.Info health and social development agency. Six months after the epidemic began in West Africa, there are still only about a quarter of the treatment beds required to tackle it. Food is now in short supply as markets are disrupted in some parts of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. In other developments: Surgical cap Goggles Medical mask Scrubs Overalls Apron Double gloves Boots Respirator The cap forms part of a protective hood covering the head and neck. It offers medical workers an added layer of protection, ensuring that they cannot touch any part of their face whilst in the treatment centre. Goggles, or eye visors, are used to provide cover to the eyes, protecting them from splashes. The goggles are sprayed with an anti-fogging solution before being worn. On October 21, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced stringent new guidelines for healthcare personnel who may be dealing with Ebola patients. In the new guidelines, health workers are advised to use a single use disposable full face shield as goggles may not provide complete skin coverage. Covers the mouth to protect from sprays of blood or body fluids from patients. When wearing a respirator, the medical worker must tear this outer mask to allow the respirator through. A respirator is worn to protect the wearer from a patient's coughs. According to guidelines from the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the respirator should be put on second, right after donning the overalls. A surgical scrub suit, durable hospital clothing that absorbs liquid and is easily cleaned, is worn as a baselayer underneath the overalls. It is normally tucked into rubber boots to ensure no skin is exposed. The overalls are placed on top of the scrubs. These suits are similar to hazardous material (hazmat) suits worn in toxic environments. The team member supervising the process should check that the equipment is not damaged. A minimum two sets of gloves are required, covering the suit cuff. When putting on the gloves, care must be taken to ensure that no skin is exposed and that they are worn in such a way that any fluid on the sleeve will run off the suit and glove. Medical workers must change gloves between patients, performing thorough hand hygiene before donning a new pair. Heavy duty gloves are used whenever workers need to handle infectious waste. A waterproof apron is placed on top of the overalls as a final layer of protective clothing. Ebola health workers typically wear rubber boots, with the scrubs tucked into the footwear. If boots are unavailable, workers must wear closed, puncture and fluid-resistant shoes. H Xavier Bertrand said 9,000 migrants, many trying to get to the UK, were in a Calais camp known as the Jungle. Mr Bertrand said he wanted a new deal in which migrants hoping to claim asylum in the UK would be able to do so at a "hotspot" in France. Those who failed would be deported directly to their country of origin. Calais has become the focal point of France's refugee crisis. The Jungle camp is expanding and almost every night people there try to hide inside vehicles entering the port and the Channel Tunnel to get to Britain. Mr Bertrand wants changes to the bilateral agreement between France and the UK called the Treaty of Le Touquet. Under the treaty, British immigration officials check passports in Calais and their French counterparts do this in Dover. Mr Bertrand does not have the power to change the treaty but two of the candidates thought most likely to win next year's French presidential election support his idea that it be either reformed or annulled. It is understood Home Secretary Amber Rudd will go to Paris this week to discuss the treaty. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said border controls for migrants in France should be shifted back to the UK. Earlier this month, local councils in the UK said they should be involved in assessing the needs of child migrants in Calais before they arrive in the UK. About 4,000 lone children are claiming asylum in the UK, with their care and resettlement down to local authorities. The Local Government Association said earlier involvement would make it easier for councils to help children settle. The Hammers are sixth in the table and a point behind behind fourth-placed Manchester City, following Wednesday's 1-0 win over Tottenham. "This season it's not realistic but there's nothing wrong with trying to achieve it," said Bilic, whose side next face Everton on Saturday. "I hope we can aim for Champions League in the future." He added: "Long term, I don't have a problem saying it should be part of the plan, what with moving to the new stadium and with all the revenue and the fans and the size of the club." Amid international concern about terrorism in the region - highlighted by the kidnap of more than 200 school girls - he said that creating jobs was key to ending the insurgency. Mr Dangote was speaking at the World Economic Forum, being held in Nigeria. The Dangote Group has interests stretching from cement to food. The businessman - who is Africa's richest man - also told the forum that his company would invest a total of $12bn in Nigeria, and $4bn outside the country, over the next four years. China also promised further investment in Africa. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang gave a speech in which he pledged "no strings" support for an African plan to develop a continent-wide high speed rail network. He said China had set aside $2bn for an African Development Fund. But he promised that China would not interfere in African nations' internal affairs, a reference to the West, which often attaches human rights and democracy conditions to financial aid. Natural England is starting a public consultation on whether the Solent and parts of the Dorset coast should be a special protection area. The area, stretching from Worbarrow Bary to Middleton-on-Sea in West Sussex, supports three types of terns. Sandwich, common and little terns arrive in April and spend the summer feeding on fish, Natural England said. The organisation said they were "important populations". Natural England is collecting information about the likely economic, environmental and social impact of the proposed area from members of the public until 21 April. The area was recommended for the status by the European Commission's birds directive and the government will decide whether the status would be granted. In Special Protection Areas the government has an obligation to prevent the deterioration of the sites and to undertake assessments for any potentially harmful development. The central bank cut rates from 2.75% to 2.5%, saying the country's economy had "softened" in 2015. It is the world's largest dairy exporter and has been hit by a fall in international prices. The move was widely expected by economists as the country continues to see lower inflation levels due to the strength of the New Zealand dollar. Despite the rate cut, New Zealand's dollar rose in mid morning trade against the US dollar. The country's currency has risen since August "partly reversing the depreciation that occurred from April", RBNZ governor Graeme Wheeler said. "The rise in the exchange rate is unhelpful and further depreciation would be appropriate in order to support sustainable growth," he said. Core inflation was below the 1% to 3% target range, "mainly due to the earlier strength in the New Zealand dollar and the 65% fall in world oil prices since mid-2014," he added. However, Mr Graeme was positive about the outlook for inflation and for economic growth into 2016. "The inflation rate is expected to move inside the target range from early 2016, as earlier petrol price declines will drop out of the annual calculation, and the lower New Zealand dollar will be reflected in higher tradables prices," he said. "A recovery in export prices, the recent lift in confidence, and increasing domestic demand from the rising population are expected to see growth strengthen over the coming year," he added. The bank predicted economic growth of 2.4% in the first three months of next year when compared to the same quarter a year earlier. New Zealand's central bank cut rates in June, July and September, but held steady in October. New Zealand exports some 95% of its milk production - with 87% of that collected by Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporter. The country's dairy exports have been hurt though by falling prices internationally together with a slowdown of its major trading partner China - a big buyer of its dairy products. However, there are hopes that dairy prices globally will start to rise next year. On Thursday, Fonterra decided to hold its forecast for farmgate milk prices steady, which it said reflected a view that international diary prices would continue to improve in the first half of next year. The BBC 2 Newsnight host said he believed Mr Blair was guilty of "moral vacuousness". Speaking in an interview with the Radio Times magazine, he said: "You should apologise for things that you have done, that you recognise that perhaps you shouldn't have done or regret," he said. "Apologising for things that your great, great, great, great-grandfather or grandmother did, seems to me a complete exercise in moral vacuousness," he said. However, Michael Blanch, chairman of the Committee for the Commemoration of the Irish Famine Victims, said Mr Paxman was in "denial" if he thought an apology was not appropriate. He said he should apologise for his remarks. "If Mr Paxman was making similar comments in certain European countries denying what happened during World War II, he would be incarcerated," he said. "This is not about individuals. As a state and as a government at the time of the famine, there was wrong and there was neglect. An apology was long overdue." Mr Blanch said healing and reconciliation was going on in Northern Ireland and it was wrong to "annexe" one part of history, like the famine, and suggest it did not matter. In 1997, Mr Blair made a statement on the 150th anniversary of the famine. He described it as "a defining event in the history of Ireland and of Britain". "It has left deep scars. That one million people should have died in what was then part of the richest and most powerful nation in the world is something that still causes pain as we reflect on it today," he said. "Those who governed in London at the time failed their people through standing by while a crop failure turned into a massive human tragedy. We must not forget such a dreadful event." Grace Taylor, 21, from Swanage, Dorset, flew back to the UK on Tuesday night, police said. Officers at Krabi Airport said they approached Ms Taylor on Tuesday, who seemed "extremely disturbed" and refused to talk to the authorities. A Facebook plea to find Ms Taylor posted by her mother, Sam, sparked a global social media campaign for information about her daughter. Airport police said they approached the backpacker on Tuesday, who was "constantly blowing a whistle and refusing to talk to anyone". On Tuesday, Dorset Police said it had been contacted by Interpol to confirm she had been found. Miss Taylor's family filed a missing persons report with police on 21 February after she could had not been in contact with the UK for five days. On Monday, she called her mother from Ao Nang, who booked her a flight which she did not get on. This led to her mum writing on Facebook that the family were "desperately worried". According to the Facebook post, Miss Taylor was "disoriented" and "not in a good mental state". Miss Taylor's mum confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that the backpacker had been found. Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) is associated with animals which have been walked in wooded areas or parkland in autumn months. Cases are characterised by lethargy, vomiting and rapid unconsciousness. The cause of the illness is still unconfirmed and needs further research, a veterinary charity has said. Alex Windsor, from Kimberley, Nottingham, said her Cockapoo, Frankie, became extremely ill after visiting Sherwood Forest on Saturday. She said Frankie had been agitated when they stopped to eat during the walk, but seemed fine after they set off again. "We came down to let her out first thing Monday morning to find she had been sick and was very lethargic. "She just got worse as the morning went on and started drooling at the mouth." SCI has been causing dogs to become ill since 2009, with initial cases reported in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Warwickshire. Twelve out of fifteen dogs affected that year died. In 2010, the Forestry Commission received reports of two cases in Nottinghamshire and two in Lincolnshire. This time all four dogs survived. More than 300 cases have been reported to the Animal Health Trust as part of a study into the cause of the illness. In 2013, when the study concluded, there were 143 cases from across five study sites in Nottinghamshire and East Anglia. Researchers said the cause of SCI remains a mystery but have since ruled out possible sources such as fungi, algae or agricultural chemicals. The attention is now focused on harvest mites, which many ill dogs had been bitten by. Tom Chalkley, from Lawrence Veterinary Centre in Eastwood, where Frankie is being treated, said although the cause is "quite poorly understood", prompt diagnosis and treatment meant the majority of dogs now survived. McHugh underwent a scan in Letterkenny on Wednesday after being carried off late in the Ballyshannon game. The Donegal star has been told that the injury will rule him out for "three to four weeks". First up, the Kilcar man will miss Donegal's concluding Division One round robin game against Mayo on Sunday. A Donegal victory in Castlebar will guarantee them a place in the Division One final if Monaghan fail to beat Dublin at Clones. McHugh will also be ruled out of the Division One decider on Sunday week if Donegal are involved. However, the 2016 Allstar should be back fit for Donegal's Ulster Football quarter-final against Antrim on 21 May. The Kilcar man underwent treatment at Ulster University Jordanstown campus on Monday which included a session in the campus' hydro pool. McHugh has been Donegal's most impressive performer during the Football League. Such have been his recent displays, some people now view McHugh as being as crucial to Donegal's fortunes as captain Michael Murphy. McHugh is understood to have sustained the injury which his foot got caught a rut on the Ballyshannon pitch.

The rights group says that a Beijing hospital told Cao Shunli's brother and lawyer on Wednesday that her body was no longer being held there. It says the hospital refused to disclose her medical records. Ms Cao's family say she was refused medical treatment in custody, but China says her rights were protected. The activist, 52, had been suffering from tuberculosis, liver disease and other ailments, according to the watchdog group Human Rights in China. Her brother, Cao Yunli, told the BBC that she had been denied medical treatment until it was too late to save her. But China has denied any mistreatment, saying that the activist's "lawful rights and interests have been protected in accordance with law". Her brother and family lawyer were reportedly prevented from seeing her body at the 309 Military Hospital in Beijing on Wednesday. Amnesty International says there are fears the authorities will cremate Ms Cao's body "to destroy any evidence of her mistreatment in detention". Chief Amnesty researcher Anu Kultalahti said: "This has all the markings of a cover-up on the part of the authorities." The family said there were black and purple marks on Ms Cao's body the last time they saw it on 14 March. This makes it even more important that the post-mortem examination report is released, Amnesty says. Countries including the US and Britain have expressed concern over her death. Cao Shunli was dedicated to promoting human rights in China. She had advocated for the right of independent civilians to participate in the Chinese government's drafting of human rights reports. Ms Cao was prevented from flying to Geneva to attend a UN training programme in September after being detained on suspicion of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble". Seven men deny sexually exploiting two girls in Oxford between 1999 and 2009. They face 41 counts including rape, indecent assault, supplying Class A drugs and making threats to kill. Both girls were aged between 13 and 15 at the time the alleged abuse started, and were in the care system, Oxford Crown Court heard. Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire Prosecutors said the abuse took place at a B&B, wooded areas around Oxford and private addresses. Prosecuting, Stuart Trimmer QC said one of the girls was told that if she reported anything to the police, she would be killed. The trial, expected to last 10 weeks, continues. The defendants and charges: Horn, a former schoolteacher, shocked Pacquiao, 38, with a unanimous 12-round decision on 2 July in Brisbane. The World Boxing Organisation reviewed the fight but judges backed the result in favour of 29-year-old Horn. It had been suggested the 11-time world champion might retire, but he wrote on social media: "I love this sport." Pacquiao's commitment to fight on means the rematch that was written into the contract with Horn means the pair are set to face each other in the ring again later this year. He wrote: "I love this sport and until the passion is gone, I will continue to fight for God, my family, my fans and my country." His supporters labelled the 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113 scoring as a "hometown decision" and the Philippines' Games and Amusement Board wrote to the WBO asking for a review of the bout. But on Tuesday the WBO said five independent judges had analysed the fight and gave the decision to Horn by seven rounds to five. The DingDong, by technology company Beijing LingLong, uses voice interaction to do tasks such as playing music and switching on home appliances. The device is said to understand Mandarin, Cantonese and basic English. A study by Juniper Research suggests China's smart home market could be worth $22.8bn (£18.3bn) by 2018. Beijing LingLong is owned by Chinese online retailer JD.com - which is selling the DingDong for 698 yuan ($100, £81). The device can communicate with 95% of the China's population, Beijing Linglong told Wired. Like Echo and Home, it can be used to control light switches, thermostats and home appliances. And, similar to its rivals, there is internet search, traffic and weather information, directions, online shopping, and music streaming. The makers of DingDong have also been promoting its educational tools, including being programmed with simple English lessons for children developed by a private education company. But outside of China the Linglong DingDong has garnered more social media attention for its name than for its technological innovation, with many expressing incredulity. "Millions of Americans tried their damnedest not to be racist for a day and then this story drops," said Twitter user Steve Woodbury. For the first time candidates, as well as voters, have discovered the power of messaging apps as a way of bypassing state media and reaching out directly to each other. Rather than relying on state television channels to broadcast their campaign rallies, the two front-runners - President Hassan Rouhani and his hard line rival Ebrahim Raisi - have been live-streaming them on Instagram. At the touch of a button, anyone with a mobile device has been able to tune in, watch and show their support by adding to the blizzard of likes, hearts and smiley faces streaming across the screen. They have also provided constant updates on Telegram, a hugely popular secure messaging app which now has more than 20 million users in Iran. On Sunday, the reformist former President, Mohammad Khatami, posted a video message on Telegram urging voters to support Mr Rouhani, who is seeking a second term. Mr Khatami is banned from appearing on state media and the main TV channels do not even show his photograph or mention his name. But his video went viral, reaching millions of Iranians connected via a vast network of Telegram channels. In parallel to the presidential poll, local elections are also taking place across the country on Friday. In the capital, Tehran, voters used Twitter and Telegram to challenge the official list of reformist candidates. They began circulating an alternative list of progressive candidates they said had been forced off the reformist ticket. The list caused such a huge stir on social media and prompted some very serious conversations in the reformist camp. Unusually in a country where access to many websites and social media platforms is blocked, Telegram and Instagram are freely accessible in Iran. When Telegram first appeared in Iran it was seen as a chat application with limited functionalities. The establishment saw it as a relatively safe platform, and it was only when its Russian developers introduced new channel features, and Farsi-speakers began using it in a very different way, that its potential to mobilise millions of people became apparent. Iranians have now created thousands of Telegram channels, and use "supergroups" not only to promote their agenda but also to do business and make money. Telegram is suddenly being taken very seriously by the establishment and in the run up to the election the administrators of some popular channels have been detained. Twitter is officially blocked in Iran but people use proxies to tweet. President Rouhani and many of his cabinet members have been active on Twitter for the past four years; Mr Raisi hurriedly set up an account just before launching his campaign. Usually, Twitter conversations that create a buzz then travel to Telegram channels where they can potentially reach a much wider audience. One such conversation discussed demands for gender equality and equal rights for women. Mr Rouhani's campaign team has paid close attention to these conversations and identified keywords to include in his speeches about women, youth and internet freedom. In Iran, where free public debate is restricted and access to the media is controlled very closely, election campaigns are a rare opportunity for people from many different walks of life to make their grievances heard. When Mr Rouhani's speeches have been streamed live on Instagram, for example, members of the LGBT community have taken the opportunity to post questions asking him directly about his views on gay marriage. It would be unthinkable to ask such questions face-to-face in a public forum. The president did not respond to the questions about gay marriage, but he has discussed other taboo issues during the campaign. Many people were surprised when the president attacked Mr Raisi over the former judge's role in the mass executions of thousands of dissidents in prison at the end of the 1980s. It is a dark chapter in recent Iranian history, and one that is usually never mentioned. However, Mr Rouhani's comments prompted a sudden outpouring of heartfelt debate on social media. The president also used social media to raise another unmentionable subject - corruption in the Revolutionary Guards. His veiled comments on the issue sparked off a debate online that soon moved offline into the world of everyday conversation. For both voters and candidates, social media has also provided a way to bypass state censorship. Mr Rouhani may be the president, but that did not stop state television from cutting parts of his campaign video before it was aired. When the censors chopped out clips showing his supporters chanting the names of detained opposition leaders, Mr Rouhani's team released them on social media, allowing them to be watched by millions. Mr Raisi now has an active fan base on Twitter. His hard line supporters steer conversations against Mr Rouhani and get involved in debates in support of their candidate. But the president's fans have been fighting back, and Mr Raisi's Twitter account has been trolled by people opposed to his candidacy. Throughout his campaign, Mr Rouhani has presented himself as an advocate for social media, reminding supporters that he has fought hard to ensure Telegram and Instagram remain unfiltered. However, the role social media has played in mobilising people during this campaign has not gone unnoticed. Instagram live-streams and Telegram supergroups are clearly a powerful weapon. Whether access will still be available to Iranians after this election could depend very much on the outcome. The Welshman joins the Olympic gold medallists on a four-year deal and will take take up the post early in 2017. He replaces Englishman Ben Ryan, who stepped down after coaching Fiji to a 43-7 victory over Great Britain in the final of the sevens in Rio this summer. "As a coach, this is an incredible opportunity to work with the present world and Olympic champions," he said. "I want to strengthen my knowledge of the game and the competition level that Fiji operates at will provide that." Hong Kong narrowly missed out on a place at the 2016 Olympic Games under 44-year-old Baber, losing to Japan in the final of the Asian qualifying tournament. Fiji won a first-ever Olympic medal when they thrashed GB in Rio as rugby union rejoined the Olympic programme for the first time since the 1924 Games.

The former England Under-21 player will join up with the Championship club as a free agent on 1 July, after signing an undisclosed deal. Lewis joined Posh in January 2008 from Norwich City, having spent loan spells at Stockport County and Morecambe. The 6ft 6in stopper made almost 190 appearances for Peterborough and will contest the goalkeeping position with David Marshall, another ex-Canary. Cardiff needed to strengthen their goalkeeping options after releasing Tom Heaton earlier this month, along with defenders Lee Naylor and Paul Quinn. Marshall was Cardiff boss Malky Mackay's preferred choice between the posts in the league last season and the Scotland international has recently signed a new three-year deal. Mr Trump, who is running for president, said he saw "thousands and thousands" of people in New Jersey celebrating. But the mayor of Jersey City said no such thing happened and accused the Republican of "shameful politicising". Mr Trump, who leads his party's race for the White House, has also urged increased surveillance of Muslims. His comments come after the attacks in Paris which left 130 people dead, and evidence suggesting that some of the attackers used refugee routes to enter the country. Since the attacks, the issue of national security and threat of homegrown terrorism has come to dominate the national political conversation. "I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," he said at a rally in Alabama. "And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down." Asked to explain on a Sunday morning political talk show, the business mogul said: "There were people were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations." The mayor of Jersey City, Steven Fulop, released a statement later which said: "Trump is plain wrong, and he is shamefully politicising an emotionally charged issue. "We were actually among the first to provide responders to help in lower Manhattan." One of Mr Trump's rivals in the presidential race, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, said he did not remember hearing of any celebrations. "I do not remember that, and so it's not something that was part of my recollection," Mr Christie told local media. "I think if it had happened, I would remember it, but, you know, there could be things I forget, too." For years, rumours have circulated on the internet alleging that US Muslims in the city of Paterson in New Jersey cheered the attacks. However, the claims were denied by police and religious leaders at the time. Politifact, a non-partisan political fact-checking website, rated Mr Trump's remarks as "pants on fire". At the same rally on Saturday, Mr Trump was interrupted by a demonstrator from the Black Lives Matter movement. In response, the businessman said: "Get him out of here. Throw him out!" The demonstrator was seen on a video captured by a CNN reporter being shoved on the ground, punched and kicked. "Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing," Mr Trump said on Fox News on Sunday. Jervais Jones, 25, is accused of attacking the six-year-old in Weymouth on 18 October last year. Prosecutors allege Mr Jones, of no fixed address, broke into the terraced house in Wyke Regis in the early hours. He denies sexually assaulting a child and trespassing with intent to commit a sexual offence. Bournemouth Crown Court heard the girl had been asleep in her bed when Mr Jones entered the room and removed her "onesie" pyjamas. Jurors were told the girl later went into her parents' room and told them there was a man in her bedroom who had touched her. Prosecutors said her stepfather found Mr Jones asleep in the child's bunk bed, naked from the waist down. The court heard the girl's parents called police and the man was arrested. The trial continues. Media playback is not supported on this device O'Sullivan, 40, qualified for the tournament after his 9-5 victory over Neil Robertson in Cardiff on Sunday. Five-time world champion O'Sullivan was originally scheduled to play Jimmy White in an exhibition match in Morocco on 12 March which has now been moved. The World Grand Prix will take place in Llandudno, north Wales, from 8 to 13 March. O'Sullivan suffered defeated in last year's final, losing 10-7 to Judd Trump. After the World Grand Prix, just two ranking events - the Players Championship and China Open - will remain before the season-ending World Championship in Sheffield. Englishman O'Sullivan recently said he is "not really bothered" about the Crucible event and will "treat it like a vacation". At a ceremony in the southern French city of Bayonne, an inventory of the Basque group's weapons, and their locations, was passed to authorities. Rev Harold Good was also an independent witness to IRA decommissioning. "It's been a very significant day today, hugely significant," Rev Good said. "To be here as a part of it has personally been very important for me, but much, much more - hugely important - for this country and hopefully the next step in their peace process." Rev Good was one of two independent witnesses who oversaw the decommissioning of IRA arms, a vital part of the Northern Ireland peace process in 2005. He said there were many parallels between the processes in Ireland and the Basque region. "The heart of it all has been the problem and the stumbling block over weapons," he said. "For us in Northern Ireland the decommissioning process opened up new opportunities. "I've been coming and going to the Basque country over a number of years now and we've been trying to encourage them towards this day. "We've been able to tell them from our experience it opens up new opportunities and without the disarmament and decommissioning we'd lose those opportunities." Eta killed more than 800 people in some 40 years of violence as it sought to carve out an independent country straddling Spain and France. Its first known killing was in 1968, when a secret police chief was shot dead in the Basque city of San Sebastian. It declared a ceasefire in 2011 but did not disarm. The caches contain 120 firearms, three tonnes of explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition, according to a spokesman for the group which mediated between Eta and the French authorities. Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan welcomed the disarmament move by Eta. "Today's act of decommissioning by Eta marks a significant and welcome step in the disbanding of a terrorist organisation which inflicted great suffering on people in fellow EU member states and has no place in the European Union," he said. "Democracy and dialogue are the only legitimate means of resolving political differences. "While I welcome today's positive development, we must never forget the victims of terrorism; those who have died and those whose pain will continue beyond today's announcement." Simonyan, 33, will merge her RT post with the role of editor-in-chief at Russia Today, which will replace state-owned news agency RIA Novosti. President Vladimir Putin shut down RIA Novosti, which was respected for its news coverage, earlier this month. Simonyan is known for her willingness to spar with critics on Twitter. Under her leadership, RT has developed into a major international broadcaster with services in English, Arabic and Spanish, but is regarded by many as solidly pro-Kremlin. The channel recently said its signal was carried by 22 satellites and more than 230 operators, allowing for some 630 million people to watch it in more than 100 countries. Russia Today's managing director will be controversial journalist and keen Kremlin supporter Dmitry Kiselev, who is known for his ultra-conservative views, such as saying that gay people should be banned from giving blood, and that their hearts should be burnt rather than used in transplants. Former schoolteacher Horn stunned the Filipino by winning the WBO world welterweight title following a unanimous points decision in July. Criticism of the result led to a scoring review by the WBO which endorsed the Australian's win. "Manny's on board, Horn's on board," said Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum. "The parties in Australia are meeting the Queensland government authorities on Saturday and hopefully the meeting goes well," said Arum, who added that the rematch could be in November. More than 51,000 spectators watched Horn's surprise victory over Pacquiao at Brisbane's Lang Park stadium on 2 July. British former undisputed world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and former LA Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant were among those critical of the judges' call on the result. They felt that 38-year-old Pacquiao had won the bout. The WBO stressed its subsequent rescoring was carried out for "transparency" as it did not have the power to reverse the original decision. Speaking about the original decision, which allowed Pacquiao to trigger a rematch clause, 85-year-old Arum said: "I wasn't outraged. I thought it was very close."

Proschwitz, 27, arrives from Premier League side Hull City on an initial 12-month contract, with the Bees having an option for a further two years. Smith was a free agent following his departure from Cardiff City earlier this summer and the 34-year-old has agreed a one-year deal. The ex-Watford and Queens Park Rangers man has been on trial at Griffin Park. Smith, who joined Cardiff in summer 2012, was restricted to just three first-team appearances last season. "He needed to find fitness after a season without much football at Cardiff," Brentford manager Mark Warburton told the club website. "We always knew Tommy would add value on and off the pitch." Proschwitz joined Hull from SC Paderborn 07 for a fee of £2.6m in summer 2012 and went on to score seven goals in 37 appearances for the Tigers. He scored four times in 14 outings during a loan spell with Barnsley in the Championship at the end of last season. "Nick is an aerial threat and has very good technical ability," Warburton said. "We think he will bring outstanding quality to the squad."

Championship side Brentford have signed striker Nick Proschwitz and forward Tommy Smith on free transfers.

Sand sculptors Remy and Paul Hoggard are using about 80 tonnes of sand to create the sculpture, which will depict King John at Runnymede in 1215. The art work will stand 4m (13ft) tall and 9m (30ft) wide and is part of the anniversary event, Festival800. Other events, celebrating democracy and freedom, are also taking place. Mr Hoggard, who along with his Dutch wife has created sand sculptures all over the world, said this was one of his most adventurous projects in terms of size and scale. The artist, who is originally from Beverley, East Yorkshire, but now lives on a farm in Bulgaria. Magna Carta was a peace treaty between King John and the barons who were in revolt against him and it set out the principles of freedom under the law. Only three of the 63 clauses in Magna Carta are still in law. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another relates to the privileges enjoyed by the City of London and the third is generally thought to have established the right to trial by jury. One of the four surviving copies of Magna Carta is displayed at Lincoln Castle. Festival 800 runs from 28 August to 6 September at venues across Lincoln and features performances from the likes of Billy Bragg and the Levellers. There will also be comedy, poetry, street theatre, lectures and debate, organisers said.

Work is under way to create a giant sand sculpture in the grounds of Lincoln Castle to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.

The Queen's cousin, 79, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Monday. He is believed to have been staying at the Balmoral estate when he suffered the injury - suspected to be a dislocated hip. The duke, who undertakes a large number of official royal engagements and has close associations with many charities, suffered a "mild stroke" in 2013. He is perhaps best known as president of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, in which capacity he has presented trophies to winners at Wimbledon. He is the son of the late Prince George and grandson of King George V, and became Duke of Kent at the age of six after his father's death in an RAF plane crash in 1942. Balmoral is the Scottish home of the Royal Family.

The Duke of Kent is in hospital with a hip injury, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

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.

Sport Wales undertook a survey which showed 54% of women had done at least one activity in the previous four weeks compared to 63% of men. It has launched a new campaign focusing on the social side of sport to encourage more women to get involved. The Our Squad site lets people register activities and contact organisers. The online community unites a variety of sports, from roller derby to softball, and encourages women to get involved and try out the site's different sporting offerings. Sport Wales chief executive Sarah Powell said the campaign was about seeing sport in a different light and "putting fun at the forefront". "We're not telling people about sport, rather we're tapping into what motivates them to take part," she said, adding a lot of women and girls surveyed said they took part for social reasons. Ms Powell added barriers women faced getting into sport included children, career and lack of confidence, but she hoped the campaign would encourage them to "take the first steps". The body drew on research from the National Survey for Wales highlighting the lower levels of female participation in sport. Sara Phillips, 12, plays for Wales' female under-13 team, and also for Carmarthenshire under-13 boys, Llanelli Cricket Club's under-15 years team, the second team and last Saturday she played for first team too. It is the first time in Llanelli's 178-year history a female has been chosen to play for the first team. Sara hopes she will inspire other girls to play cricket. "Sometimes they only see boys playing, but girls have more of a chance to play because there aren't many of us, so it helps us improve in sport," she said. Second team captain Rhys Westcott said: "The point was discussed by the two club captains who felt it was the right time to bring the first girl into the teams, and Sara was the one who was chosen... we hope as more women come through, it will start a trend through the club now." Our Squad is supported by ambassadors, who each have their own reason for taking part in sport. Among them is Angeline Tshiyane, 53, from Newport, who has set up a number of groups to help encourage an active lifestyle among the region's black, minority and ethnic (BME) communities. She launched her own weekly swimming sessions for children and adults from BME backgrounds, as well as the country's first female only BME walking group. "More women need to recognise the benefits of taking part in sport," she said. "Not only is it great for your health, but it's a great way to make friendships and raise your confidence." Angharad Sian Roche, 34, is a softball player who set up Wales' first Welsh-language team, Teirw'r Taf, which competes in the Cardiff Softball League. Ms Roche said friendship was the driving force behind the team's success. "You have an instant common interest and everybody taking part wants every member of the team to enjoy themselves," she said, adding it was also good for "burning a few calories". Despite being told by doctors at 26 she would never run or jump again due to osteoarthritis, basketball player Caroline Matthews went on to represent Team GB at two Paralympic Games and then took up the wheelchair version of the sport. Ms Matthews, from Sully, Vale of Glamorgan, now coaches her own wheelchair basketball squad, Archers Wheelchair Basketball Club. Emily Roberts, 16, from Llandudno, Conwy county, suffered with low self-esteem as a result of years of bullying at school, before taking up karate aged 10 to build her confidence. Emily credits karate with helping her "break down the barriers she put up when she was bullied" and helping her to make friends. Skater Stephanie Howarth, 30, has represented Cardiff's Tiger Bay Brawlers at UK, European and American roller derby tournaments after taking up the sport five years ago following a trip to watch a game. "Seeing women involved in a contact sport, and witnessing the level of skill instantly made an impression on me," she said. Jin Osborne says her involvement in sport to saved her life after she was diagnosed with a rare blood disease. The 34-year-old fitness instructor from Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan is committed to helping women of all shapes and sizes to get active for the right reasons. "It's vital to stay physically active because your body needs it and depends on it. I found this out in the worst way," Ms Osborne said. She added: "Attitudes to sport should be more about its health benefits and the fun and friendships that exercise brings as opposed to what it does to our physical appearance." One of the most prominent is Omar Shishani, who was appointed by the al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) as commander of the northern sector in Syria. Until recently Omar Shishani was leader of the Jaysh al-Muhajirin wa al-Ansar (Army of the Emigrants and Helpers), an al-Qaeda-linked jihadist group comprising local and foreign fighters, including Chechens. Omar Shishani was replaced by another Chechen commander, Salahuddin, as most Chechens in Syria refuse to pay allegiance to Isis. Villagers here know each other, and some knew Omar Shishani ("Shishani" means "the Chechen" in Arabic). One man, known as Abdullah, described Omar Shishani as "a good man". Chechens drawn south to fight Assad Another, Ayoub Borchashvili, a local imam in Jokolo village, said: "Omar is a respected man, a noble person and I like him very much. "He and his colleagues flocked to Syria for the sake of Allah to help oppressed people there and to protect their rights." The BBC has learned that Omar Shishani had served in the Georgian army a few years ago and was later jailed. Someone who had served with Omar Shishani in the army told us: "He was a sober, respected person, who never showed signs of religious fanaticism or extremism." No-one explained why Omar Shishani became motivated by religion, although his relation with the Georgian army could have played a role. Through a middleman, the BBC managed to see a Georgian defence ministry official about Omar Shishani - or Tarkhan Batirashvili, his real name. The record says Tarkhan Batirashvili was born in Birkiani, one of the major villages in the Pankisi valley, in 1986. He performed national service in the Georgian armed forces in 2006-2007. Afterwards, he joined the army at the end of 2007 as a rifleman. The record says he took part in combat during the 2008 Russia-Georgia war and was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Tarkhan Batirashvili was never decorated, according to the record. In 2010 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was considered unfit for the military service. He was dismissed from the army and arrested a few months later, accused of illegally purchasing and storing weapons. He was released from prison before completing his three-year jail term due to deterioration of his health. According to people who knew him, Omar Shishani had "difficult times" with Georgian intelligence, causing him to move to Turkey. From there he went to Syria, where armed conflict began, and there, thanks to his military skills, Omar Shishani - or Tarkhan Batirashvili - became one of the most influential military leaders of the Syrian opposition forces. The Independent Monitoring Board said three prisoners were found dead in their cells during the reporting year. It blamed "inadequate" physical and mental health services for inmates and said a shortage of staff had resulted in more time spent in cells. However, it praised staff for their "considerable efforts" in engaging with prisoners on a day-to-day basis. A Prison Service spokesman said Chelmsford was getting extra funding to pay for more officers. LIVE: Read more on this and other stories from Essex The report covered the 12 months from September 2015 and said the board "fears for general prison safety". It also acknowledged the prison had long-term issues which were "beyond the control of the governor". It said the Victorian buildings were dilapidated and in need of major refurbishment, for which money was not available. In a statement, a Prison Service spokesman said: "We are committed to transforming prisons into places of safety and reform and we've announced a major overhaul of the prison system including 2,500 extra frontline officers. "We take the mental health of those in our custody extremely seriously, but recognise that more can be done to support prisoners. "That is why we've invested in specialist mental health training for prison officers, increased funding for prison safety, and launched a suicide and self-harm reduction project to address the increase in self-inflicted deaths and self-harm in our prisons. "We have also invested £14 million to provide more than 400 extra staff in 10 of the most challenging prisons, with HMP Chelmsford using the additional funding to boost the number of frontline officers." The 22-year-old had to come from behind to claim a 15-14 win over Velikaya, 31, the silver medallist from London 2012. Ukranian Olga Kharlan took bronze with a 15-10 win over France's Manon Brunet. Fencing governing body the FIE cleared all 16 Russians to compete, after the International Olympic Committee rejected a blanket ban on the country. The call had come from the World Anti-Doping Agency in the wake of an independent report into state-sponsored doping in the country. The FIE said it had "re-examined the results from 197 tests taken by Russian athletes in 35 countries, including Russia, between 2014 and 2016" and all were negative.

"I would say that it's a recovery that is decelerating a bit," she told the BBC, but said it was expected to gain momentum next year. "We are seeing massive transitions at the moment," she said. After double-digit growth for decades, China's economy slowed to 7.4% last year. The government has said it expected growth to slow further to about 7% this year. However, the IMF has forecast growth of just 6.8%. Ms Lagarde told the BBC that changes around the world were producing new situations, including emerging market economies having to cope with much lower commodity prices. "Whether you look at China transitioning from one growth model to the other, from one exchange currency method to another ... we are having to adjust as a result." On China's efforts to shift from an export-led economy to a consumer-led one, Ms Lagarde said the IMF was "very supportive of the transition that is taking place at the moment". She noted China's efforts towards better management of its currency exchange rate and interest rates movements and expected the country's government to better communicate to the world what was going on in its economy "over the course of time". "You don't move just overnight from being heavily controlled to being market determined, with massive market expectations that suddenly the situation should be the same across the world," Ms Lagarde said. "It just doesn't happen that way." Ms Lagarde's five-year term as head of the IMF expires in mid-2016, but at the Fund's annual meeting in Peru this week she indicated she was open to serving a second term. The attacker threw a hand grenade before running into the court area and detonating a bomb, police told the BBC. Also on Friday, four suicide bombers targeted a Christian neighbourhood near Peshawar before being shot dead. Both attacks took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and were claimed by Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. Militants have targeted lawyers in the past, including a bomb attack in Quetta last month that killed 18 lawyers. That attack was also claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. Ijaz Khan, deputy inspector general of police for Mardan district, told reporters three lawyers and two police officers were among the dead at the courthouse. The suicide bomber attempted to reach the court's bar room, where several lawyers had congregated - but was shot by police before he could enter, Mr Khan said. The president of the Mardan Bar Association, Amir Hussain, told reporters he was in a neighbouring room when the blast happened. "There was dust everywhere, and people were crying [out] loud with pain," he said. Lawyers have come under attack because they are "an important part of democracy, and these terrorists are opposed to democracy", he added in quotes carried by the AFP agency. Who are the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar? •A faction of the Pakistani Taliban that operates independently in the Mohmand tribal region and surrounding areas. •Name translates as The Party of Freedom Fighters. •Carried out several attacks in Pakistan's north-west, including the Peshawar Valley region. •Major attacks include a suicide bombing that killed more than 70 people at a park during Easter celebrations. •Soldiers, lawyers and religious minorities are among those targeted. The 30-year-old sex worker was hit and knocked to the ground then stabbed in the neck, near Oldham Road, Rochdale, on Thursday evening. A man demanded money but fled empty handed, Greater Manchester Police said. Det Ch Insp Sarah Jones said: "This was an unprovoked and vicious attack on a sex worker which left her with a knife in her neck." The woman was taken to hospital for treatment but was later released. The arrested man is aged 29, said police. Neil Jackson, 35, from Penylan, pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday. The Crown Prosecution Service said he had advertised his house on Gumtree. The court heard he falsely took bonds of between £1,000 and £1,400 from eight people, between October 2016 and March 2017. The case was adjourned for sentencing until 18 May and Jackson has been remanded in custody. "Jackson persuaded various people to pay him money over a number of months," said senior crown prosecutor Kelly Huggins afterwards. "He continued his pretence that he was a registered landlord and that the agreements would be honoured. "Instead, he lied about his son's health in order to delay them and avoid making repayments. "His victims were relying on him to put a roof over their heads, but the reality was he deliberately took their money and prevented them moving on with their lives." The Bluebirds did the damage in the latter stages of the first half, as firstly Ross Hannah capitalised on a poor back-pass by Elliott Durrell and rounded Liam Roberts expertly to put his side in front. Just two minutes later, Jordan Williams headed in a second after Roberts failed to parry a Liam Hughes shot to safety. Williams remained "on fire" after the break, cutting inside before unleashing a spectacular third. Chester unexpectedly rallied midway through the second period and James Akintunde slid in to pull one back after a goalmouth scramble, before three minutes later setting up Theo Vassell to halve the deficit - but Barrow held on for maximum points.

Maguire, 27, has returned to the Kassam Stadium following his release by Championship club Rotherham United. Scotland international Maguire scored one goal in nine games during a six-week loan spell earlier this season. "It's an excellent signing. Chris has played all of his football at a higher level," said manager Michael Appleton. Ismail, 22, has made just five appearances for his parent club since joining as a trainee in summer 2012. He has previously been on loan at MK Dons, Burton and Notts County. Meanwhile, midfielder Danny Rose, 27, has left the club by mutual consent after making 138 appearances across two spells with the U's. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. He is being treated at a hospital in Chicago, the company said. Mr Munoz took over at United Continental only last month after Jeff Smisek was forced out for allegedly making deals with public officials in New York and New Jersey. Shares fell 3.3% to $55.83 following the announcement. The airline said it was continuing to operate normally. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and we are respecting their privacy," a spokesman said. Mr Munoz is the former head Continental Airlines, which merged with United in 2010. The company's board was waiting to hear from doctors and from Mr Munoz's family about the severity of the heart attack before deciding if an interim chief executive was needed, the Wall Street Journal reported. It quoted a source who said the heart attack could have been mild and that he could return to work in two weeks. United Continental has been embroiled in a scandal with the New York/New Jersey Port Authority. It has been accused of maintaining unprofitable flights that were popular with politicians in return for favourable government subsidies and better airport transit deals. Mr Munoz was appointed chief executive in a bid to clean up the company and deal with a litany of staff and customer complaints. The company had also struggled under Mr Smisek to merge the operations of the former United and Continental airlines. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said it had ended discussions with the owner of the circuit "for the foreseeable future". The Telegraph has also reported that entrepreneur Laurence Tomlinson has also given up on securing a deal to invest in the site. Circuit owner British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) said it would not comment. For live updates on this story and more news from Northamptonshire JLR was thought to have offered the prospect of injecting £33m into the home of British motor racing in return for a 249-year lease on the circuit. But in a statement, the company said: "Jaguar Land Rover has ended discussions with the British Racing Drivers' Club for the foreseeable future and is not proceeding with any plans to either lease or purchase Silverstone at this time." The first Grand Prix (GP) took place at Silverstone in 1950 and the race track has regularly hosted GPs since the start of the F1 championship in the same year. Held at Dores on the shores of Loch Ness for the first time last year, the latest event is to be staged on 20 August. Formed in 1989, Leftfield released a new album last year called Alternative Light Source. Other acts confirmed include Duke Dumont, Mark Knight and Boys Noiz. Also, underground dance music acts Leon Vynehall, Dan Shake and Moxie. Festival founder Dougie Brown said: "We are delighted to announce Leftfield as our special guests, there is no arguing the impact they have had on the electronic music world and their set is guaranteed to be a highlight of the festival." Groove Loch Ness is held at the site of the cancelled RockNess music festival, which drew up to 35,000 people at its peak but has not been held since 2013. Last year's inaugural event was headlined by Groove Armada and was organised in just eight months by four people working in the music industry in Scotland. The European Professional Football Leagues (EPFL), which represents Europe's 24 domestic football leagues, fears national leagues will suffer. It wants the governing body to scrap proposed changes to the competition. EPFL head Lars-Christer Olsson said: "Uefa has gone to bed with a limited number of clubs." Uefa made changes to its elite club competition to head off the supposed threat of a breakaway competition being formed by the big clubs But Olsson, who was chief executive of European football's governing body from 2003 to 2007, added: "Uefa was afraid for no real reason. "For the majority of clubs, domestic leagues are more important than international competitions and more important than a breakaway league." Uefa last month agreed to changes to the competition format which set aside more places for teams from Europe's top leagues - Spain, England, Germany and Italy - at the expense of smaller leagues. There will also be a revamp of how Champions League cash is distributed. From 2018, a club's "individual coefficient" - how it has performed historically in European competition - will affect how much money it receives. Uefa has a duty to act on behalf of the entire game, not just a few, select clubs That will see established former winners being better rewarded. The European Club Association, which represents the clubs, backed the changes. But Olsson said Uefa had pushed through the amendments "without taking into account the wishes and needs of everyone else". He added: "We are asking Uefa to revoke the current decision and start the process all over again." The Swede also cited organisational changes he said would move European football towards "a franchise system based on North American models", likening it to the NFL or the NBA. Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster - an EPFL member - has described the Champions League changes as "regressive and protectionist". "We risk an inexorable slide towards an NFL-style closed-shop system. Uefa has a duty to act on behalf of the entire game, not just a few, select clubs and leagues," he added. Earlier, the EPFL board issued a statement that warned the changes would widen the gap between the richest clubs and the rest. It has threatened to rip up an agreement with Uefa which stops domestic matches being played at the same time as Champions League and Europa League games. That would leave domestic leagues free to schedule a full league programme directly against Champions League games. Uefa rejected the EPFL's claims, pointing to a "wide-ranging" consultation including the leagues. Acting general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said: "We are happy that the concepts of solidarity, fair competition, fair distribution and good governance remain at the core of European football." A farm in the village of Sellindge in Kent found 26 hives had been burnt out and others stolen. It is an attack thought to be linked to the theft of two hives from another farm nearby. PC Daniel Mills from Kent Police said: "This damage is not only cruel but detrimental to the beekeepers who will suffer a financial loss." A large number of bees were killed in the attacks, a police spokesman said. The fires and thefts occurred between 11 and 14 June, police said. Police have advised beekeepers to camouflage the hives behind hedges or tall fences or to paint them a muted colour. They also suggested apiarists keep their hives out of view from main roads. The Local Government Association (LGA) said the problem was increasing because tattoo equipment was becoming more widely available and cheaper to buy. The LGA warned that unlicensed tattooists can take "dangerous shortcuts with health and safety". They may work in unsterilised studios, using cheap equipment bought online. The LGA has also urged online retailers to provide warnings to children about the dangers of using do-it-yourself tattoo kits, which can be bought for less than £25. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to be tattooed, unless it is performed for medical reasons by a qualified medical practitioner, or someone working under their direction. Unlicensed tattooists, also known as scratchers, often work from home in kitchens or garden sheds and advertise their services on social media. It is illegal to work as a tattooist without registering with the local council. LGA Board member Cllr Morris Bright said tattooists operating under the radar posed "a real danger" to people's health as they often have low hygiene standards which "could put your life at risk". "They can use unsterilised equipment that seriously increases the risk of spreading diseases such as hepatitis or HIV and causing permanent, ugly scarring," he said. "Unregulated tattooists are also associated with bad tattoos, which require expensive work to put right, and because they've been done illegally, you won't have normal customers' rights. "We would also encourage anyone who has visited an unregistered tattooist to seek medical advice from their GP and report the parlour to their local authority." Council environmental health teams are in charge of carrying out raids and prosecuting illegal tattooists. Those who ignore the law can also be prosecuted under health and safety legislation, which can lead to a £20,000 fine or a jail sentence. In September 2015, Wrexham County Borough Council prosecuted a man for illegally tattooing children in his home for "pocket money prices". He was fined just over £600 for six offences and a court order was issued for the destruction of his tattooing equipment. About 20% of British adults have had a tattoo, according to a You Gov survey in 2015. Barry Island Pleasure Park was rescued in 2010 from closure due to a drop in visitor numbers. The planned redevelopment would see the 4.7 acre site turned into a mix of restaurants and cafes, a cinema, bowling alley and 124 flats. Vale of Glamorgan council deferred a decision for a site visit. Owner Ian Rogers said: "It's very disappointing, but it's just a site visit." The fair, close to the beach, has been an attraction since 1920. It was well used by holidaymakers who went to the nearby Butlins holiday camp, and after that site closed in 1986, it relied more on day trippers. Poor weather conditions over recent summers had led to a drop in visitors, and in 2010 new tenants agreed a deal with the owner to run it for a year on a seasonal basis. The park gained new fame when it featured in hit comedy Gavin and Stacey, the story of the romance between a Barry girl and an Essex boy. Nessa, the character played by Ruth Jones, who co-wrote the series with fellow star James Corden, ran an amusement arcade in the fair. The council said the site should still be used to attract people to the resort. "Given the nature of the existing use and the importance of the site to the tourism function of Barry Island as a whole, it is considered essential for the development to be focused upon commercial leisure and tourism uses that can strengthen the existing package of attractions and encourage more people to visit the island," said Rob Quick, the council's director of environmental and economic regeneration. "The proposed indoor leisure/entertainment centre would form the primary commercial use and, on the basis of the indicative plans, would serve as the hub of the development." He added: "Since the closure of the Theatre Royal, there is no longer a cinema in Barry and, therefore, it is considered that this element of the scheme would provide a valued facility that is unavailable anywhere else in the town. "Having regard to the above, it is considered that the proposed development would widen the seasonal spread of tourism activities at Barry Island and assist the maximisation of tourist opportunities." The review, by a cross-party group of MPs and members of the House of Lords, heard a criminal record could hamper education and employment prospects. It also found youth justice in England and Wales had "systemic failings" and an "inability" to prevent offending. The government said it was "continually improving" the youth justice system. Justice minister Jeremy Wright said youth crime was down and fewer young people were entering the system, but the ministry wanted to do more. Inquiry chairman Lord Carlile said courts could be terrifying for a child. "The key problem is that children appearing before courts often haven't got a real clue about what's happening to them," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "We must make it a much more accessible and understandable system for children, their parents and guardians, and for victims." The Liberal Democrat peer said the current criminal justice system was not working and that overall reforms would make it "much rounder". "What we find is that people whose lives have been reformed - they've graduated, they've maybe become teachers or lawyers or accountants - are inhibited at obtaining work because CRB checks and other records checks show that they have committed an offence, for example robbery of a mobile phone, when they were 16 years old," Lord Carlile told the BBC. "And it's held against them for a very long time. So we think that if people have been through a good criminal justice system, they should be able to wipe the slate clean when they become an adult." However, he said a "decent time lapse" should be in place when under-18s commit serious offences. The review said where possible, children should not be taken before a court, and crown court appearances for under-18s should be the rare exception. Under current rules, criminal convictions for under-18s stay on their record for five and a half years, while cautions last two years. Some offences are never removed. Source:Ministry of Justice Mr Wright said work was under way to improve the system. "We have introduced a new out-of-court disposals framework, set up pilots to divert young people from crime and make sure those with mental health issues and learning difficulties are dealt with appropriately and have improved the way children and young people are dealt with in court," the justice minister said. "We have received Lord Carlile's report into the effectiveness of the youth court and will consider the recommendations alongside other departments, local authorities and the senior judges." As well as calling for records to be cleared at 18 for low-level offences, the inquiry said these time periods should be reduced. Evidence submitted to the inquiry suggested it is often not made clear to children by police that some out-of-court disposals, such as community resolutions, youth cautions and youth conditional cautions, can appear on criminal record checks. One young person told the inquiry a criminal record was like an "anchor" to past offences. The inquiry also found: Lord Carlile said there was "a great deal of confusion" in courts about what they could and could not do, resulting in some "quite unwise" prosecution decisions. He added that no one should be able to work in children's courts without specific training. This included judges and advocates, he said. Enver Solomon, of the National Children's Bureau, which provided the secretariat for the inquiry, said reforms were needed to ensure resources were not "wasted on processing children through the courts" in a way which did not stop them becoming "criminals of the future". "It merits urgent attention by all political parties to bring forward new approaches that are well evidenced and will deliver far better outcomes for child defendants, victims and their families," he said. Killie's Josh Magennis headed home the only first-half goal as the hosts took the initiative. Alim Ozturk found the net for the visitors before a second from Magennis put the hosts back in front. But a late equaliser from substitute Juanma Delgado left it looking like extra-time before Sam Nicholson bagged the winner for Hearts. Having won their first seven games in all competitions, Hearts' season had faltered with three straight league defeats. Killie, on the other hand, had found their form with back-to-back wins going into the cup tie. And it was the home side who took the lead following some excellent build-up play. Kallum Higginbotham found teenager Greg Kiltie, who turned Igor Rossi inside out before crossing for Magennis to head home. However, Killie were forced into a change when Stuart Findlay had to be carried off the pitch after receiving a knock to his face, Steven Smith his replacement. Nicholson had a chance to find the target when set up by Morgaro Gomis but the winger's effort was saved by Mark Ridgers, who joined Kilmarnock on an emergency loan on Tuesday amidst a shortage of goalkeeping options. Hearts continued to make in-roads towards goal in the second half and and Danny Swanson's replacement Juanma did brilliantly to flick a Nicholson cross, but Ridgers saved again. The leveller came when Ozturk fired a shot through a ruck of players from the edge on the box after Kilmarnock had failed to clear a corner. Parity did no last long, though, as Higginbotham was allowed to stride forward unchallenged before setting up Magennis, who turned and sent a low drive into the bottom corner. Still, Hearts would not be beaten and extra-time looked to be on the cards after Juanma's glancing header from Jamie Walker's cross found the net. But there was another twist in the tale as Juanma mis-hit a shot 10 yards out and the ball fell straight into the path of Nicholson to strike home. A traumatic end for Kilmarnock who must have thought by then they had done enough to win but it is Hearts who head through to Monday's last-eight draw. Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson: "I thought we actually played well in quite a lot of the game. "We lost a really bad goal at the start but we'd started well, first 10-15 minutes really well, dominating the game. But losing a goal from a cross, which was disappointing and it gave Killie a lift, it was difficult to get our passing game going again. "Second half, I thought we passed well again, got back in it, got the goal to make it 1-1 and looked like we'd go on to win it and then lost another sloppy goal. "It was then really gung-ho stuff, trying to get a wee bit of discipline in the game and keep going and when we got the equaliser I thought, 'we'll take that', and then we got the winner. "Great to get through but shouldn't be losing two goals and it's something we really need to nail down." Kilmarnock manager Gary Locke: "Cruel one for us tonight, I thought our performance was really good. "We looked a real threat, played some terrific stuff but just that little bit of luck you need to get through in the cup eluded us tonight. "Huge blow for us, everyone is really, really disappointed in there because we put so much into the game but football can be cruel as I certainly don't think we deserved that. "The fans here are sensible supporters, they will have seen how well the boys played there and the effort they put in and some of the stuff we played was excellent, you just need that wee bit of luck as well and we didn't get that tonight."

Brent crude rose 1.9% to $56.60 per barrel and the price of US oil edged up 0.22% to $50.53. General Electric shares rose nearly 3% on reports it was planning to sell its real estate holdings. US media, citing sources, said the firm was close to selling nearly $30bn (£20bn) worth of investments in office buildings and other commercial property. Investors had fretted that GE's investments in real estate - made through its banking arm, GE Capital - were too risky. Anadarko Petroleum rose 3.2% and Marathon Oil shares climbed 2.9% on the stabilisation of the oil price. Metals business Alcoa kicked off the earnings season after the bell on Wednesday, giving a mixed earnings report which led to its shares falling 3.3%. Shares in game-maker Zynga plunged nearly 18% after the firm said it was bringing back founder Mark Pincus to run the company. The man, 37, from Leicester, slipped on a rock in an area known as Tin Pan Gully, on Cwm Idwal, at about 11:00 GMT on Saturday. The fall happened about 300ft (90m) above the A5 road. Members of Ogwen mountain rescue team attended and carried him off the mountain. The man was later driven to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor by ambulance. Craig Darwell wants hotels to introduce ID procedures for underage visitors after the incident in Chertsey. Surrey Police were called to the hotel last Thursday over misplaced fears for his daughter's safety. Travelodge has since apologised and said its staff were trained based on current national guidelines. Mr Darwell, from Leeds, said there was only a double room available when he booked the room online for a trip to Thorpe Park - a Christmas present for Millie. When staff questioned him on arrival, he said he could only show them his Facebook profile which had pictures of Millie as a baby and on her 13th birthday. He said the most upsetting part was when the police officer talked to her. "My daughter looked at me and said 'dad' because she thought I'd rung the police," he said. He said the officer explained the hotel manager had called police before asking Millie if he was her father and whether she had any photos. "We were going out to tea. We were going to make a night of it. She was in the room crying her eyes out. She couldn't come out of the bedroom," he said. Mr Darwell believes the situation could have been avoided if the online booking system had requested ID for an underage visitor. "At the point of booking, when I booked online, if I could have flagged up that somebody's underage, that I need to put some ID in, either a passport or a birth certificate, and I need to put it in at that point and bring it with me," he said. A Travelodge spokesman said: "We take our responsibilities towards protecting children and vulnerable young people extremely seriously. "Our colleagues are trained based on current national guidelines from the NSPCC, the police and other agencies and in the past, hotel team actions have led to successful intervention to protect young people." He added the company was undertaking a full investigation. A spokeswoman for Surrey Police said officers were called by a member of staff at the Travelodge in Chertsey following a concern for safety and added: "Officers attended, no arrests were made, and no further action was required." She added: "Local and national evidence shows that child sexual exploitation can take place in hotel environments. "We continue to work with the hotel industry, taxi companies and licensed premises to make them aware of possible warning signs of children at risk." It all started so normally. Kate Bush, barefoot and in black, sang into a microphone with a seven-piece band behind her. After her second song, Hounds of Love, she declared "I need a drink of water" and swigged from a bottle at the side of the stage. This could have been any gig almost anywhere. Perhaps Bush had decided to abandon the lavish theatricals of her one and only tour 35 years earlier in favour of something more conventional. But then, six songs in, everything changed. A dancer leapt centre stage, manically spinning an object around his head. Confetti exploded into the auditorium, and a giant screen dropped in front of the stage and played a short film featuring an astronomer. Here, at last, was the much-anticipated live performance of The Ninth Wave, Kate Bush's 30-minute sonic odyssey about a shipwreck from 1985's Hounds of Love album. What followed were surely some of the most mind-bending images ever to find their way into a rock concert - huge billowing sheets making a seascape, a search-and-rescue helicopter buzzing over the audience and sailors in lifejackets brandishing hatchets and a chainsaw. There was even a bizarre mini-play - with Bush's teenage son Bertie as one of the characters - about cooking sausages. And in the midst of it all Bush herself was carried off by what can only be described as fish skeleton creatures. This was the stuff of nightmares. Even lovers of Kate Bush's music - and the Hammersmith Apollo was packed with them - were not expecting something so off the chart. It felt like an opera, am-dram, a movie and a West End musical rolled into one. After a 20-minute interval, Bush was back with more stunning visuals to accompany a batch of songs - collectively known as The Sky of Honey - from the 2005 album Aerial. A wooden puppet child wandered the stage as Bush sang at her piano. Giant projections of birds in flight filled the back of the stage while 16-year-old Bertie was back in the role of an artist at work on a huge canvas. He even got to sing a solo song, Tawny Moon. The early songs from the late 1970s and early 1980s that made a Bush a household name were absent, but no-one seemed to mind. Bush may not be the energetic 20-year-old who last performed on the same stage in 1979, but the 56-year-old singer has retained the power to entrance her audience. Among the cheers, some were moved to tears at this most unpredictable of comebacks. After the three-hour show, thousands spilled out into a damp London night knowing they had witnessed something unique. It's likely that many will wake next morning feeling they have been not only to a gig, but squeezed in a trip to the cinema and the theatre as well. When it comes to photographing Africa, the images burned into the collective consciousness of those outside the continent are mostly of poverty and conflict. The Everyday Africa Instagram feed is trying to redress the balance. While not shying away from those themes, it looks for the beauty in the normal, returns dignity to the subjects and helps change perceptions of the continent. Here we present some of the pictures from a recent book which is a collection of some of the account's best images. Nigerian photographer Tom Saater captured the feeling of hope and anxiety in the face of lawyer Ginika Okafor who had just been called to the bar. She was on her way to the graduation ceremony in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, when she was photographed in this thoughtful pose. Saater says this was a very emotional day for Ginika. She had been crying shortly before the picture was taken and had been talking a lot about what her life would be like after graduation, he adds. Ricci Shyrock took this photo of a man trying to look sharp despite the dusty street around him in Guinea's capital, Conakry, just before the country was declared Ebola-free. "There was something I relished about seeing such a mundane activity as shoe shining going on normally as the fear of Ebola faded," she says. "In addition, I'm often drawn to reflections of fashion in the street and what those fashions say about a society. "I've always seen shoe shining as such an aesthetically obvious way fashion is also a class divide. I wanted to show that class divides exist here just as obviously as they might in somewhere more familiar to the global gaze, such as New York." Malin Fezehai captured these children at play near Zaria, northern Nigeria. "I really like the boy in the middle who is looking at something and zoning out from everything happening around him," she says. "Then you also have a storm coming in the background so the clouds are very dramatic, and I think it's just a nice playground moment that I reacted to." Austin Merrill caught children at play on the other side of the continent, at a school in Mombasa, Kenya. "I feel like the image has something to say about the future for these kids," he says. "They're sprinting toward something that's unknown but hopeful. The crows on the track might be seen as a portend of something negative, but they're overwhelmed in the photo by the buildings - modern structures and a construction crane that speak to opportunity and promise." Edward Echwalu captured a young boxer during a training session in a makeshift gym in the Katanga slum of the Ugandan capital, Kampala. The gym is known as a place where young mothers go to box. Initially this was for self-defence, but some women have gone on to earn money from the sport. "Boxing is seen as a man's sport and these women are breaking the stereotype," Echwalu says. "To me, the boy in the picture is learning that boxing is not the preserve of men." The metallic jacket and hair-do of this young refugee in Mugunga, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, playing draughts caught the eye of photographer Ley Uwera. "I was impressed by the hairstyle, the look and attention to detail," she says. "The photograph shows that everyone can live a normal life. It also shows something positive about a situation that is not so wonderful." "Being nervous about taking a test is, I believe, something universal for those who have had the privilege of being a student," photographer Jana Asenbrennerova says. She snapped these students at the Université Protestante in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as they were taking their final exams. "I visited several classrooms and the atmosphere in each was quite intense... I easily related to their anxiety and felt their pain of exam taking," she says. The Instagram format means that the mobile phone plays a central, if unspoken, role in Everyday Africa. Here, in Andrew Esiebo's shot, that comes to the fore. These two glamorous women in a Lagos cafe are taking and comparing selfies as they prepare for a night out. Part of Esiebo's work is chronicling the rapid development of urban Nigeria and capturing the people in the cities. "I took this photo on a hot summer afternoon during the final weekend of a month-long traditional celebration in the Cape Flats here in Cape Town," Charlie Shoemaker says. "With streets lined with bystanders yelling and dancing, the band snaked through the winding road of the township." But the photo also shows a moment of joy before a tragedy, Shoemaker says. "The events later in this day would take me from this beautiful scene to absolute horror as a young member of the band was killed as an innocent bystander to a gang fight." Portraiture is a familiar format where the pride of the subjects can often shine through. Photographer Holly Pickett says she was wrapping up an assignment in the southern Senegalese village of Sare Dembara when she decided to snap some of the villagers. "The young man in this photo quickly picked up his daughter before presenting himself to me. "He was so proud. He wanted to be photographed while holding her, and it was a spontaneous, sweet gesture of affection. A parent's love is universal." Nichole Sobecki was drawn to this photographer's studio in Kibera, the large slum in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, as its lights were shining out in the early morning. The boy was having his photo taken for an ID card. "The student had the look of intentional seriousness that many of us take up for official portraits," she says. "As soon as the camera was away he relaxed, laughing with us as we waited for his photo to be printed and the long walk ahead of him to school." Sobecki is a photojournalist taking pictures to communicate a specific story, but she says she also likes to capture "the quirks, jokes, boredom, frustration and hope that make up this diverse and changing continent". Laura el-Tantawy says her photograph "is a slice of the vibrant life and energy overflowing on Cairo's streets". She snapped the women riding in a horse carriage close to Tahrir Square from her car window. "My first instinct was to photograph the rainbow of colours," she says. "The women's hijabs contrasted against the colours of the design inside the carriage. "I never saw the woman in the niqab and even now, when I look at the photograph, my eyes often miss her and go to the two girls on the right. Her presence is a surprise for me." In Mali's capital, Bamako, in November 2015, while attention was focused on the aftermath of an Islamist militant attack on a hotel, life carried on as normal elsewhere in the city. For Jane Hahn, her picture of this woman riding her motorbike with the wind blowing through her hair, "represents the resilience, strength and beauty of the Malian people". The offer would be part of the £9bn sale of shares in the bailed-out bank announced in the Budget in March. Mr Cameron will say later that it marks another step in the journey "we have been making in repairing our banks". Labour said the Tories had announced the plans at least seven times before. The Lib Dems said the idea had been looked at by the coalition government but decided against because it was not clear the money could be recouped for the taxpayer. Under the plans, buyers who keep their shares for a year will be rewarded with a loyalty bonus. It will include one additional free share for every 10 shares that they still hold. Mr Cameron is expected to confirm that, with Lloyds shares closing at 78.75p on Friday, those offered to individual investors will be sold for more than the 73.6p a share paid by the previous Labour government when it bailed out the bank following the financial crash of 2008. This issue includes the wider economy and deficit reduction but also employment and the role of business. Policy guide: Where the parties stand The prime minister is due to say: "The £20bn bailout of Lloyds Bank by the last Labour government became a symbol of the crisis that engulfed the British economy under Labour. After the public bailed it out, people feared they wouldn't see their money returned. "Today they are. Today's announcement marks another step in the long journey we have been making repairing our banks, turning our economy around and reducing our national debt, only made possible by our long-term economic plan. "That's why it is so important that we don't put all that progress at risk, but instead build on what we've done so we can deliver a brighter, more secure future for our country." It is known as a retail share offer: but it also amounts to a retail political offer. Elect a Conservative government, David Cameron will say, and we will make shares available to the public - and not just to institutional investors such as pension funds. The Tories hope that now the Lloyds share price is above the amount the previous government paid for the shares they can be sold at a profit to the taxpayer. For the second time in a week - after their announcement offering the right to buy housing association homes in England - the Conservatives are again reviving an idea pioneered by Margaret Thatcher that they hope will be popular. Labour said this was the seventh time David Cameron had announced the plan to sell Lloyds shares. Under the terms of the retail offer, buyers will receive a discount of at least 5% on the market price at the time of the sale, with priority being given to investors purchasing up to £1,000 worth of shares. The minimum purchase will be £250 and there will be a maximum limit of £10,000. The government has already raised £9bn from the sale of Lloyds shares, and the state's stake in the bank - which was 43% at the time of the bailout - is now down to 22%. The proceeds from the latest offering will be used to pay down the national debt. Media playback is not supported on this device The 32-year-old's first World Series win since 2012 ended the 13-event winning streak of Gwen Jorgensen. Jenkins' main rival for the final spot at Rio, Jodie Stimpson, finished 12th. Media playback is not supported on this device In the men's race, Jonathan Brownlee was third behind two Spaniards - Fernando Alarza and winner Mario Mola. The 25-year-old defending Gold Coast champion, who has been pre-selected for Rio, finished 41 seconds behind the 1:46.28 of number one-ranked Mola, who also took the opening World Series event in Abu Dhabi in March. Brownlee's brother Alistair, the defending Olympic champion and also pre-selected for Rio, finished 36th. With an official announcement due in June, Jenkins and England's Commonwealth champion Stimpson are competing to join Non Stanford and Vicky Holland as Britain's female triathlon contingent in Rio this summer. Jenkins' victory in Queensland is an important one, after Stimpson followed up her season-opening win in Abu Dhabi on 5 March with victory at a sprint-distance World Cup in Mooloolaba, Australia a week later. Two-time world champion Jenkins is currently ranked number one in the world, two places above Stimpson but the latter is 5-2 up in head-to-head results between the pair since 2014. On Saturday, Jenkins finished 41 seconds ahead of current world champion Jorgensen of the USA, unbeaten in World Series events since 2014, with New Zealander Andrea Hewitt another second back in third. "I can't quite believe it," said Jenkins. "I did not have the best swim today, and then on the bike, because it was so technical, it was just as hard even if you were at the front. And I got to the run and just went for it." Regarding Rio, she added: "The team is not announced yet but I think I have probably done enough today. "Our team is so strong and it is so unfair that Jodie might not be going to the Games." 1. Helen Jenkins (GB) 1:56.03. 2. Gwen Jorgensen (US) 1:56.44. 3. Andrea Hewitt (NZ) 1:56.45. 4.

Simeon Akinola handed The Iron the lead with a lobbed finished over Phil Smith. Omar Beckles' header brought the Shots back on level terms as Braintree conceded their first goal in 531 minutes. Aldershot - who have won once since January - secured all three points as striker Ross Lafayette's shot was saved with Nathan Ralph netting the rebound. Braintree fall to sixth, despite being level on points with-fifth placed Dover in the final play-off place after Tranmere's win over bottom-of-the-table Kidderminster. Aldershot Town boss Barry Smith told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "I'm delighted with the way they came back from going a goal down. "We've had a few sore ones recently and I thought their determination, grit and the desire to get themselves back into the game was excellent. "If you lose a goal you always want to score as soon as possible, but we had confidence if we kept doing the right things we would've created other chances. "I thought we got the ball down and played some good stuff at certain spells during the game and limited them to very few opportunities." But these are not normal times in Greece and such cases have been making national television bulletins. In a soulless white concrete court building, leaders of the I Won't Pay movement have been turning routine eviction proceedings into the frontline in a popular fight-back against austerity. The protesters - noisy and feisty but non-violent when we saw them - turn out in force to block the progress of cases where banks seek to repossess houses where loans have fallen into arrears. It can be a short, dramatic and effective piece of direct action. On the afternoon we went to court, the demonstrators, chanting and cheering, crowded onto the judicial benches and spilled over into the witness box. A lawyer representing one bank found himself hemmed in and surrounded, unable to make his case because he was unable to make himself heard. The case was adjourned and the housing activists cheered and whistled what they saw as a rare victory for ordinary Greek people over a kind of international machinery of austerity. One of the leaders, Ilias Papadopoulous, said: "More than half of the Greek people live in poverty below the level where they have any dignity. The government won't protect them so we are here to protect them." The victory, of course, isn't final - it's hard to believe that the bank will give up on its money and its reasonable to assume that its lawyer will be back in court one day soon. But the case provided an insight into the popular mood in a country worn down by years of austerity. Even the European Commissioner for Finance Pierre Moscovici has spoken of the need to provide the Greek people with some kind of light at the end of the austerity tunnel. He's even pronounced himself "hopeful" on the issue. But it is hard to find many Greek people who share in his share of optimism. In a week in Athens I met a couple planning to emigrate in search of work immediately after their wedding next month, the manager of a TV station whose staff have not been paid for months and a young man with an MBA working as a taxi-driver, who told us he saw "absolutely no hope" for the future. So the mood could hardly be bleaker as the Greek government prepares for another round in its apparently never-ending dance with its main international creditors - the eurozone and the IMF. Greece is hoping that the previous formula whereby it signed up to painful economic reforms in return for phased bailouts might now be relaxed. Why is Greece back in the headlines? Greece: EU and IMF in 'common position' In big picture terms, the Greek position remains dauntingly bad. Its ratio of debt to GDP - how much it owes compares to how much it earns - stands at an eye-watering 180% and its long term hope has to be that at some point at least some of that debt will be written off. In the short term though that's highly unlikely. The leaders of the eurozone face elections this year in the Netherlands, France and Germany - not a good moment to tell their taxpayers that they will not be getting their money back from Greece. And the IMF, which is sympathetic to a write-off, would only want to see it happen in the context of further structural reforms which would try the patience of the Greek voters to breaking point. "The idea of reform has become toxic in Greece," says Nick Malkoutzis, editor of the influential economic intelligence website MacroPolis, "because when the other side says, 'This is what you need to do in order to put your economy on a better footing', what the average Greek hears is that 'I'm going to take another hit in my pocket'". The Greek government, though, senses a moment of opportunity in a world where its debt crisis has been overshadowed at least for now by the dramas of Brexit and the election of US President Donald Trump. They intend to push for a different framework for negotiations with their creditors where in future on direct concessions on pension reform would be balanced out by, for example, a possible tax cut. Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Georgios Katrougalos calculates that what he calls a global elite which has already suffered a series of shocks in recent months won't want to resist provoking the anger of the Greek people. "There is a general disenchantment in Europe," he told me, "especially in Greece because we have been hit harder by austerity. "So the real question now is how to reverse austerity and I think there is hope in that because I think that the elite know they can't govern as they did before - the election of Trump shows that and shows the people won't consent to be governed as they were before." We will not know if the minister's calculation is correct until Greece begins formal negotiations with its creditors again. If he's right then perhaps the pervasive mood of gloom in Greece might begin to lift - but for now when Greeks hear talk about "light at the end of the tunnel" they feel the tunnel remains dauntingly long and the light remains frustratingly dim. He told Radio 4's Today that Philip Hammond, Mr Osborne's successor, should change tack and raise public spending. "It's clear he will spend more," the former Greek finance minister said. Mr Hammond is to reveal his spending plans at next week's Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Mr Varoufakis, in London for the Institute of Directors' annual conference, said each time Mr Osborne had cut spending, he had been forced to push back his budget targets. However, his criticism of Mr Osborne has come under attack on Twitter. "Kettle 'particularly inept at not being black', says Pot" and "Takes one to know one" were two of the kinder comments. The maverick former Greek minister, who served from January to June last year and gained notoriety for his confrontational approach to Greece's creditors as well as his habit of wearing leather jackets and riding a motorcycle, said he had spoken "frequently" to John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor. Mr McDonnell unveiled Labour's economic plans at the party's conference earlier this week, including a £250bn infrastructure package and £10 an hour minimum wage. "I have spoken to John McDonnell many times," Mr Varoufakis said. "And we agree that the one thing Britain needs is investment." Mr Varoufakis said there was an estimated £900bn "trapped doing nothing" in City financial institutions and that money needed to be put to work. He said he foresaw a Europe split into two economic blocs - one in the north, centred on Germany, and another in the south. Referring to Greece, Mr Varoufakis said he agreed with recent criticisms of the European creditors' negotiation position by the International Monetary Fund - which is itself a creditor. On Friday, the IMF said European plans to force Greece to operate a large budget surplus were unrealistic and that it needed extra debt relief if it was to return to financial health. "My country is in a debt trap and it needs a much smaller budget surplus target if it is ever to escape," he said. Mr Varoufakis also said he expected the eurozone eventually to implode, citing problems in the German and Italian banking systems as a big threat to its stability. So say the team around the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, as they emphasise the need for "unity" in the Labour Party. "The biggest fear the Tories have is a united Labour Party," a source close to Mr McDonnell said. "Jeremy Corbyn could be the most transformative Labour prime minister since Clement Attlee." The shadow chancellor addressed Labour MPs at their weekly meeting in Parliament earlier on Monday. Sources said he showed "contrition" over an article he wrote suggesting there was a "soft coup" under way designed to topple Jeremy Corbyn. "We must focus on unity," he told Labour MPs, singling out for praise previous critics of Mr Corbyn such as Rachel Reeves and Angela Eagle. John McDonnell has issued "an open invitation to anyone" in the Labour movement who would like to talk to him and have a cup of tea, but sources wouldn't say if they were dispatching invitations directly, or merely accepting requests to meet him. But not all MPs in the room were convinced. One told me he asked Mr McDonnell, in a reference to Sir John Major's speech about Brexit: "Why is a former Tory Prime Minister more effective at attacking a Tory government than a Labour shadow chancellor?" Another walked out 15 minutes before the end muttering "they'll still be droning on this time tomorrow". Mr McDonnell used his briefing to Labour MPs to set out what his priorities will be in response to Wednesday's Budget. Labour will have four themes they will question the government on: what they see as "chronic low pay;" a "rigged economy in favour of the privileged few;" social care, where "one million people are going without the care they need" and "ensuring the economy works for women." Referring to Mr Corbyn's recent publication of his most recent tax return, a source said Mr McDonnell "has a genuine worry for democracy in this country" since "the prime minister and chancellor have still not published their tax returns." "You have a level of transparency at the top of the Labour Party that you don't have in government."

The former Welsh international's contract expired last Wednesday and has not been renewed by the Football Association of Wales. The former Derby and Ipswich midfielder had been in charge since 2012. Williams said he was "disappointed" but said: "I am a proud Welshman and it has been a total pleasure to work for my country." And he is confident the highly-rated group of Welsh under-19 players - including dual-qualified Liverpool teenager Ben Woodburn - are committed to Wales long term. His departure means a revamp of Wales' younger age group management. David Hughes, who was Williams' assistant, has also just left the FAW to take up a youth coaching post with Aston Villa, Williams, 54, who won 13 caps for his country between 1988 and 1996, succeeded Brian Flynn in the Wales under-21 job in 2012. He said: "In my contract, there was a specific target of getting the under-21s qualified. If I did not get that done, then there was an opportunity for change. "It has been fantastic leading from the front, but also with the connection there has been between Chris Coleman and Osian Roberts. "If the international committee feel it is time for a change I understand that." Williams praised Wales manager Coleman for ensuring a "pathway" to the senior side for up and coming Welsh youngsters. He would look back with pride at the improvement in the co-efficient ratings of the Under-17s, the under-19s and the fact the under-21s lost just two qualifiers in the last European campaign. Recently the Wales under-19s beat England with a team including Liverpool's Woodburn, Exeter City midfielder Ethan Ampadu, Manchester United defender Regan Poole and Everton's Nathan Broadhead. Woodburn and Ampadu are also qualified to play for England, but Williams said: "The group are totally committed to Wales. We gave them an experience. "Some of the lads have gone to the England under-16s and preferred what we are doing. We did not say they could not go, we encouraged it. "Our under-19 group are so tight and so professional. They are like a club team. They have a fantastic spirit." An official announcement on Williams' departure is expected this week.

Geraint Williams has left his post as manager of the Wales under-21s and intermediate age group teams.

Biowatch contains a tiny camera that takes a photo of your wrist and stores a snapshot of your blood vessels. The watch then checks that your veins match the photo every time you put it on. That could stop imposters from accessing private information on a smartwatch if they put it on. The Swiss company developing the device said it worked correctly 999 times out of 1,000 and are continuing to work on it. Biowatch technology isn't available to buy yet but the company is working with smartwatch manufacturers to include the tech in future watches. Philip Ledward, 62, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, was killed in November 2011 while working for Arkenfield Stable Hire Ltd. On Tuesday, the Bronington company pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety rules at Mold Crown Court. Judge Niclas Parry said the "derisory" fine reflected the firm's means. He described the heavy goods vehicle mechanic as a well-liked, highly regarded and respectable employee, father and husband and said the penalty was not intended to reflect the loss of life. He added if the company had significant resources the financial penalty would have been £50,000. The company must also pay costs of £5,000. Third Energy wants to fracture underground rocks at a site near the village of Kirby Misperton in Ryedale. The Environment Agency said the event in Kirby Misperton related to Third Energy's application for the necessary environmental permits. An amended planning application is expected to be submitted to the county council by the end of June. Fracking is a technique for extracting gas or oil trapped between layers of rock by forcing the layers open using water, sand and chemicals under high pressure. Third Energy insists the procedure is safe and poses no danger to the community. Anti-fracking campaigners are concerned about the effects of the process and have held a number of demonstrations against the plans. A 1,000-signature petition calling on the county council to oppose fracking has also been submitted. The Environment Agency said it welcomed comments from the public about the application and on local environmental factors. Martin Christmas, environment manager at the agency, said: "Our regulatory controls for onshore oil and gas are in place to protect people and the environment. "We will assess the proposals to ensure they meet our strict requirements." The agency's drop-in session at Kirby Misperton village hall runs from 12:00 to 20:00 BST. The Environment Agency consultation lasts until 10 July. However, Merchant Hotel Ltd had a solid trading performance with turnover rising to more than £11m. That equated to a trading profit of about £1m after interest payments. A note in the accounts states that the value of the building was written down by £4.1m . The firm said it has also "substantially agreed" long-term arrangements with the bank that now controls its loans. In 2014, the loans relating to the hotel were sold to Goldman Sachs by Ulster Bank. Ulster Bank has sold a large number of loans in a move to reduce its involvement in property-related lending. The Merchant accounts state that although the process of reaching agreement with Goldman Sachs is "not yet finalised" the directors expect "adequate facilities" will be secured. The hotel is is owned by Bill Wolsey, Beannchor Group. Mr Wolsey is one of the leading figures in Northern Ireland's hospitality business. In a statement the group said: "The Merchant Hotel has reported a strong trading period, however, following impairment write-downs this has reflected a loss in the accounts for the year. "Long-term funding has been agreed with Beltany Property Finance Limited (Goldman Sachs affiliate). "Directors remain optimistic about future trading performance." It was going to be a laboratory for democracy. George Soros, the Hungarian-born investor and philanthropist, funded the creation of the Central European University, with the specific aim of promoting the values of an open society and democracy. The university in Budapest in Hungary is still going strong, with graduate students from more than 100 countries studying courses taught in English. But the challenges have changed. If the university was created on a rising tide of democracy, it now has to examine liberal values under pressure. In parts of Eastern Europe, the voices of authoritarianism and nationalism are getting louder. The president of the Central European University is John Shattuck, an American human rights lawyer, law professor, diplomat and former assistant secretary of state in the Clinton administration. The university, he says, was founded to "resuscitate and revive intellectual freedom" in parts of Europe that had lived for decades under the "horrific ideologies" of communism and fascism. But if Budapest is a crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe, he says that we're now living in an era approaching its own crossroads. "We're in another period of time, which is as disruptive and complicated as it was in 1991 when the university was founded." The financial crash, the loss of confidence in party politics in the West, the rise of the "Putin model" of government, the weakness of international institutions are all raising "a set of questions that haven't been asked for 25 years". "We see very dangerous trends at work," he says, such as the rise of "xenophobia" and antagonism towards immigrants. The university is addressing some of these big questions in a project called "frontiers of democracy". What does freedom mean in an era of digital information? What is the place for local identity in a globalised economy? How can an open society be defended? It also wants to put principles into practice. There is a university access project for students from the Roma community. A digital learning project is opening up debates and the idea of free speech with universities in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Kazakhstan. This is an institution with departments with titles such as the Centre for the Study of Imperfections in Democracies. Prof Shattuck says too many universities have lost a sense of moral purpose. The pressure on funding has turned universities into places turning out products rather than ideas, he says. It means students are not being exposed to the "traditions of democracy and political philosophy". Prof Shattuck says the challenge is to "understand what is appealing about a more authoritarian approach, why racism is re-emerging". He believes it is driven by "fear of change, fear of economic retrenchment... and when you feel insecure you want someone to solve your problems without having to think about them yourself". "Or you start demonising, making immigrants the targets. This is what happens in society." Prof Shattuck says he remains an optimist. He has faith that an open society in the end will prove the most successful and efficient. He believes in the capacity of law to hold powers to account. As a young lawyer he put this in to practice, successfully suing Richard Nixon for wiretapping in 1976. He also worked on the legal pursuit of human rights violations in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia. But there is no escaping the sense that some old and uncomfortable ghosts are coming back to life. In Hungary, the prime minister has promoted the idea of an "illiberal democracy", looking eastwards to Russia rather than westwards to the European Union. There are even more extreme ultra-nationalist voices, with the Jobbik party growing in strength. Wolfgang Reinicke, dean of the university's school of public policy, says the traditional model of Western democracy is in "deep crisis". "It was easy to look good," he says, when the contrast was with the Berlin Wall. But in the following decades it has become more difficult for democracies to remain relevant and representative. "We had the audacity and the hubris when the Soviet Union collapsed to bask in our victories, without realising that it was not the end of history - and the problems were only about to begin." He warns that too often national governments lack the capacity to control a globalised economy and sophisticated financial markets. It means they run along behind events, looking more and more powerless and discredited, only able to offer "crisis management". The city is a reminder that there is nothing inevitable about what happens next. There are Turkish, Austro-Hungarian and Soviet era buildings, from regimes that must have seemed permanent but were swept away. The university occupies a building that began as an aristocrat's palace before becoming state-owned offices for a planned socialist economy. It's now filled with the American English accents of bright young cosmopolitan students. In the university's business school, the dean, Mel Horwitch, says many of the debates about the future of democracy now lie within the business sphere. An open society needs to deliver. "When you throw off an authoritative regime there's all this hope," he says, but without prosperity there will be "profound disappointment". "If you have a stagnant economy, if you're not competitive, it doesn't work." There was euphoria after the wall fell, but not much business strategy, he says. And in the financial crash, Hungary's fledgling market economy was hit harder than the bigger, more resilient Western financial centres. "It had a much more permanent, pessimistic impact," says Prof Horwitch. The country is "stuck" economically and now has to navigate a more "volatile world". The university is looking for ways for the region to compete. It's setting up a course in managing big data, wanting Budapest to become a knowledge hub like Boston, London or Berlin. Many of the students at the university were not even born when the Berlin Wall fell. And their debates are about how democracy works in an age of Twitter and identity politics. How much have the economic problems of free markets raised doubts about the political value of free speech? A student from Norway says she grew up in an era of prosperity, but now sees a changing landscape. "You realise how vulnerable democracy is." The Tigers sit bottom of the table with just one win and one draw from their 11 matches this season. The former St Helens, Wigan and Leigh coach took over from Terry Matterson for the 2012 season but Cas struggled for form and finished in 13th place. He leaves the club with a record of seven wins from 38 matches. Of the potential successors John Kear looks a strong choice. The former Hull FC and Wakefield head coach once spoke of Cas as his "dream" job. Former Tigers forward Andy Hay may be in the frame yet could opt to stay as Hull FC assistant where coach Peter Gentle's position is far from secure. The Tigers may look at Featherstone's highly-rated coach Daryl Powell but the former Great Britain international is enjoying the challenge of leading a competitive Featherstone side in the Championship. The 52-year-old is the second top-flight coach to lose his job this year after Salford sacked Phil Veivers after just five games. The start of the Australian's tenure with the club was overshadowed by personal tragedy when he was granted compassionate leave in February last year after the sudden death of his 19-year-old son. After he returned to the club in March, the Tigers suffered a fourth-round Challenge Cup exit at the hands of Championship side Featherstone in April and would go on to win just three more matches all season. There was a large turnover of players in the close season but results failed to improve, with their only win so far this term coming against Leeds Rhinos in February. Assistant coach Danny Orr will take temporary charge of the first team and is set to lead them in the home match against Widnes on Saturday. Coastguards found the woman, who has dementia, on Sunday morning after a three-hour search of the Penzance area. Lyn Hughes, manager of Tolverth House in Longrock, said "all procedures were followed" and the woman "escaped through a fire exit". The care home has been rated as requiring improvement in its safety by the Care Quality Commission. Ms Hughes said: "The patient escaped through a fire exit which had recently been fitted with new locks. All procedures were followed. "She was checked every hour [by law residents must be checked every two hours] and once staff realised she was missing the authorities were alerted." Penzance, St Ives and Lands End coastguard rescue teams joined the police and the Penlee RNLI lifeboats and a coastguard rescue helicopter in searching several miles of coast. Andy Cattrell, senior coastal operations officer, said: "We and the police were very concerned. She was 90 years of age, a vulnerable patient of a local care home. With someone that age, she needed finding." They hope to capitalise on Chancellor George Osborne's offer to devolve more political and spending powers. In Greater Manchester, a deal was dependent on the city agreeing to have an elected "metro mayor". But local Labour and Conservative politicians have expressed doubts about the idea of a mayor for the region. Mr Osborne said last year that "no model of local power will be the same". Bristol's independent mayor George Ferguson met the leaders of Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils last week to discuss how they could bid for more powers. In a joint statement, they said: "We agree today to undertake a review of governance on how we strengthen our joint working as four unitary authorities, with a view to obtaining devolved powers from the government for the benefit of all our residents." The review is expected to take up to 18 months. The focus on the "northern powerhouse" idea has prompted some debate locally about how a "western powerhouse" might take shape. Somerset County Council leader John Osman, a Conservative, is convening a meeting of all south west council leaders on 5 August to discuss the issue. Labour councillors on four councils have already said they will fight any plans for a "metro mayor" while Tim Warren, the Conservative leader of Bath and North East Somerset, has said he was not keen on the idea either. The series 19 Kids and Counting on TLC stars a conservative Christian couple and their 19 children. It has been alleged that the eldest son Josh Duggar molested five underage girls as a teenager. Duggar has not admitted to the abuse but has apologised for his behaviour, saying he acted "inexcusably". "I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions," 27-year-old Duggar wrote in a statement on Facebook on Thursday. "In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption." TLC network said that it was "deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation". "Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and victims at this difficult time," the statement said. Arkansas police said on Friday they had received a court order to destroy records of a nearly decade-old investigation into Josh Duggar. No charges were filed against him. Police concluded the statute of limitations had passed, according to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper. On Thursday Duggar resigned his role with a prominent conservative Christian group amid reports about the allegations. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who has been supported by Mr Duggar's parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, defended the family on his Facebook page on Friday. "Josh's actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable', but that doesn't mean 'unforgivable'," he wrote. The coastguard received a call from the ambulance service to rescue the man at about 14:20 GMT on Tuesday. Teams from Newcastle, Kilkeel and Portaferry as well as the Portaferry inshore lifeboat were involved in the operation. The man's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Senior Maritimes Operation Officer with the coastguard, Dawn Petrie, said the man was playing golf and had "an unfortunate fall". He was taken by helicopter to the Royal Victoria Hospital. The Scottish Local Government Partnership (SLGP) comprises of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire councils. They broke away from umbrella group Cosla last year. Ms Constance said the government "will only negotiate with one body". Cosla remains the only forum for official government funding negotiations, so the breakaway SLGP lodged papers at the Court of Session on Friday to take legal action to assert their right to be formally consulted. Ms Constance has now written to the SLGP offering a meeting. The group has hailed the move as a "huge breakthrough" in their relations with the Scottish government. Convener Jenny Laing said: "They were never going to give us equal negotiating rights with Cosla straight away but the fact that they have both recognised their statutory duty to talk to all local authorities, combined with the offer of bilaterals with ministers and the SLGP, clearly shows that a process is now under way and that will be welcomed by the 1.3 million people we represent across Scotland." She added: "The members in the SLGP represent 47% of Scotland's economy. We have the ideas, passion and drive to grow Scotland's wealth. All we need now are the powers to do it." "The reason we left Cosla was because we felt powerless to fight the cuts being handed down. "The political landscape is shifting rapidly and we all must work closer together in a new era of collaboration in order to get the best possible deal for ordinary, hard-working families." Responding last week to the SLGP's threat of legal action, a Scottish government spokesman said: "We will only negotiate on the final settlement with Cosla, the representative body for Scotland's local authorities. "However, we have a statutory responsibility to consult all 32 councils on the terms of the local government finance settlement." 6 September 2016 Last updated at 19:16 BST He tells the BBC how, together with his friends, he ventures 25m (82 ft) underground, without ropes or safety gear, in search of copper. Video journalist: Horaci Garcia The 22-year-old looked in distress, clutching her right shoulder area, as she failed her first two attempts to snatch 92kg in the 63kg category. British Weightlifing will assess the extent of the injury before deciding on Rio, with the team named in early July. Rebekah Tiler set a new record GB total of 227kg to win the 69kg title. Smith, who won a bronze medal in April at the European Championships, has already secured the Olympic qualifying standard and is the leading British women's candidate for selection. Tiler, 17, has also attained the qualifying standard and took three bronzes at the European Championships. British Weightlifting chief executive Ashley Metcalf said: "We will have the time to assess the extent of Zoe's injury before any decisions regarding Olympic selection can be made. "Our aim is to take the strongest team possible to Rio. The selection meeting for both the men's and women's places is on Tuesday 21st June before the final team announcement to follow in early July." In the men's 94kg event Sonny Webster outlifted Owen Boxall to take the title and put himself in contention for selection with a total of 346kg to Boxall's 343kg. It ended with the nation enjoying its best ever athletics session at a summer Games as three gold medals came in the space of just an hour. Sandwiched in between, there was another track cycling success to savour, as the women's team pursuit took gold in the London Velodrome with another world record. Britain took their tally of gold medals at London 2012 to 14, tightening their grip on third place in the table, with only the United States and China above them. Here, BBC Sport rounds up some of the best reaction and analysis from an amazing day for British sport. Rowing men's four: Alex Gregory, Pete Reed, Tom James, Andrew Triggs Hodge Rowing women's double sculls: Katherine Copeland and Sophie Hosking Cycling women's team pursuit: Dani King, Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell Athletics, women's heptathlon: Jessica Ennis Athletics, men's long jump: Greg Rutherford Athletics, men's 10,000m: Mo Farah Michael Johnson, four-time Olympic champion: "Mo went in with a race plan. He showed great enthusiasm and guts. I am really pleased for him because he had a lot of expectation on his shoulders. He was expected to win and he came through." Brendan Foster, Olympic bronze medallist: "We have watched him for a long time, we have all supported him for a long time, and what an amazing achievement. What a night and I think it shows we should always have the Olympic Games in London." Michael Johnson, four-time Olympic champion: "This is a phenomenal performance. After suffering the disappointment of missing Beijing through injury, she then comes back at a home Olympics to prove to everyone that she is the best. Not only that but that she can perform under incredible pressure and win gold. I am truly happy for her." Denise Lewis, former Olympic heptathlon champion: "It's hard to find the words. We have witnessed greatness, we have witnessed someone who had a dream come and deliver on the world stage. People love her, they really do. She is one of the most-loved athletes around. I am honoured to have witnessed this." Jonathan Edwards, double Olympic medallist: "Just remarkable. He is a massive, massive talent who has really struggled with injury. There aren't too many who would have had him down to win gold at the start of the Games or even the start of the day. I don't think he can believe it, I don't think anyone can believe it." Darren Campbell, double Olympic medallist: "It is immense. He is so talented but he hasn't had that bit of luck to get onto the podium in a major championship before. This time he has had that little bit and now he is the Olympic champion. Greg Rutherford, take a bow." James Cracknell, two-time Olympic champion: "You beauties! This is fantastic, not just for Team GB but for the two women involved. They have over-performed and over-delivered. Good on you, girls." Sir Steve Redgrave, five-time Olympic champion: "Amazing. They can't believe it. I thought they could do it but I can't believe it." Chris Boardman, Olympic gold medallist: "If they go any faster, they are going to need parachutes to slow down! To break a world record again after such a short gap between all the rounds is just incredible. What a fantastic experience. Tears all around because they've worked so hard for this. They've been so, so strong." Rob Hayles, Olympic silver medallist: "That's six team pursuits by these girls and six world records. I don't know any other sport or any other team where that is the case. The sheer dominance is incredible, it must be unprecedented. Off the back of Beijing, people were saying this wasn't going to happen. They are proving people wrong." Sir Steve Redgrave, five-time Olympic champion: "They were smooth and powerful and all the elements came together. It was close all the way down. The Aussies had to do something in the middle but they didn't make anything up. They didn't make any impact and it was a fantastic race by the GB men's four." James Cracknell, two-time Olympic champion: "That was brilliant because the team never had a clear-cut margin. The Australians were always there, snapping and biting away at them like a little terrier but that was a stonking performance. They have had to withstand pressure from the Aussies all season, not just in this race, and they have dealt with it." Daley Thompson: "What a night, Team GB awesome. We have to have an Olympics every year! This makes £9bn look cheap and unbelievably good value." Rio Ferdinand: "Has British athletics ever seen a better night than this? I doubt it very much. Rutherford take a bow fella, huge from ya!" Sir Clive Woodward: "Had some amazing days in sport, today was very special, very proud of British athletes, proud to live in this country, totally brilliant." Gary Lineker: "I can honestly say that was the best day's sport I've ever seen! Above and beyond anything we could have hoped for #Olympicheroes" Mark Cavendish: "I don't normally stand up off the sofa for much other than cycling, but I did just that while watching @J_Ennis bring home heptathlon Gold!" Media playback is not supported on this device Revenue was $3.2bn (£2.05bn), up 28% compared with last year, but lower than analysts' expectations of $3.39bn. The company also saw sales volume increase by 34%. Alibaba earlier announced that it will invest $4.6bn in a 19.99% stake in China's largest physical electronics retailer, Suning. Shares in the company dropped almost 7% on the news. Retail analyst Neil Saunders at Conlumino pointed out that Alibaba's revenue growth over the past financial year was 39%, and reached 59% in the year before that: "This is not to infer criticism of Alibaba, but it does suggest that its core Chinese business has now reached a level of maturity that will dampen future growth rates." Alibaba, founded by prolific entrepreneur Jack Ma, also reported a jump in revenue from people buying on mobile phone and tablet devices. The business also owns China's largest online shop, Taobao.com. Alibaba Group's chief financial officer Maggie Wu said: "We made significant progress monetising our mobile traffic, with our mobile revenue exceeding 50% of our total China commerce retail revenue for the first time." The assailant was shot by the head of security at the Tekoa settlement, south of Jerusalem, after attacking the 30-year-old woman at a warehouse. The woman was said to be in a moderate and stable condition in hospital. The attack comes less than 24 hours after an Israeli woman was killed at another West Bank settlement. Dafna Meir, a 39-year-old mother-of-six, was stabbed to death inside her home at Otniel after a struggle with the assailant, who reportedly fled to the nearby Palestinian village of Khirbet Karameh. The Israeli military launched a manhunt following the attack, setting up roadblocks and telling residents to lock themselves inside their homes. There were conflicting reports about the condition of the man who stabbed the woman at the Tekoa industrial zone on Monday. Palestinian health ministry officials initially reported that he had died of his wounds, but later said he was in a serious condition in hospital. The Israeli military confirmed he was receiving treatment in Jerusalem. Twenty-seven Israelis have been killed in stabbing, shooting or car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since October. At least 155 Palestinians have also been killed during that time. Israel says most were assailants, shot by their victims or security forces as they carried out attacks. Others have been killed in clashes with Israeli troops. The Greens picked up six seats in the new Scottish Parliament, with the Lib Dems one behind on five. Overall, the SNP won 63 seats - two short of a majority. The Conservatives have 27 and Labour 22. Victorious Green Ross Greer has become the youngest ever MSP at the age of 21. He said the result showed "the level of faith Scotland has in young people". Green party co-convener Patrick Harvie said it was clear his party had "gained huge momentum", particularly in Glasgow. Mr Harvie was elected in the city, while the party now has another five MSPs from the regional lists. He said he was "gutted" at missing out on a second seat in Glasgow. But he added: "I'm even more gutted that there are going to be more Conservatives in the next session of the Scottish Parliament. "I think that's a sign of the chronic failure of Labour to offer a credible, progressive left alternative. "I think the Greens are going to step up and play a significant part in providing that alternative." Youngest MSP Ross Greer was 15 when he joined the party and has also served as a member of the Scottish Youth Parliament. He said: "We did promote during my campaign that I would be the youngest MSP and we were very open about my age. "So it's a vote of confidence from the same region that elected Mhairi Black last year." Ms Black was just 20 when she became the SNP MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South at last May's general election. Michael Kane, from Glasgow, was left with a fractured skull and broken jaw after a single punch on 1 March. Nottinghamshire Police, who believe Mr Kane was helping a woman in distress, released CCTV footage of the attack on Stoney Street earlier this month. A 28-year-old man has been charged with wounding without intent. He is due to appear before Nottingham Magistrates' Court on 1 June. Questions surround the participation of many of the old guard with so much young talent around, but there appear four certainties to retain their places: Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia. This quartet remain in the upper echelons of the world rankings and have been regulars during Europe's recent, unprecedented run of success. There is little to suggest they won't form the engine room for the continent's trophy defence at Hazeltine this autumn. But for all four, the Ryder Cup only becomes a priority when we get to September and head towards the Minnesota match. Before then there are big individual goals to be satisfied. McIlroy and Rose aim to add to their major tallies and Stenson and Garcia seek to break their ducks in the four biggest tournaments. It is extraordinary to think that Garcia has now turned 36 and is still waiting. Remember the callow, precocious bundle of energy who ran Tiger Woods so close on his US PGA Championship debut back in 1999? Last week the Spaniard began his 18th European Tour season in a windswept Qatar, where he finished in a reasonable share of seventh place. The highlight was a second-round 66 but, worryingly, his putting again failed to match the prowess of his long game. No-one finishing ahead of Garcia bettered his statistics tee to green but an average of 31.5 putts per round proved his undoing. By the final round the popular Spanish star was again experimenting with his putting grip, ditching the claw technique of recent seasons to go back to a more traditional method. "I just wanted to try something different," Garcia said. "Obviously I putt with a normal grip on the long putts, probably over 25, 30 feet. "But I just wanted to go the whole way because I haven't felt great this week with the claw. It actually worked better. I made some good putts. I was quite good and I was quite confident on the short ones." Garcia ended last year on an encouraging note, finishing fourth in Thailand and celebrating his 28th professional victory by prevailing in a four-way play-off at the inaugural Ho Tram Open in Vietnam. While such victories are wonderful for the bank balance, they do little to alleviate a sense of career under-achievement. Yes, Garcia has been a fixture in the world's top 10 almost his entire career, but his 2008 Players Championship remains the most notable success. How different the story would have been had he holed the 12-footer on the 72nd green at Carnoustie in 2007 that would have given him The Open. Instead he went into a play-off won by Padraig Harrington. The Irishman was again Garcia's nemesis the following year, beating him into second place at the US PGA at Oakland Hills and since then the Spaniard has failed to contend for an American major. Indeed, the impact of those disappointments contributed to a rankings slump that led to him missing the 2010 Ryder Cup. His commitment to the cause remained evident, though, as he turned up at Celtic Manor as one of Colin Montgomerie's vice-captains instead. Garcia was too talented to remain outside Europe's top dozen golfers for too long and reclaimed his place for the subsequent victories at Medinah and Gleneagles. Energised by the 2016 prospects of an eighth Ryder Cup and an Olympic debut, Garcia is approaching this year with enthusiasm and he is not giving up on his major dream either. "I guess every year that goes by, it feels another chance that has kind of gone by," he recently admitted. "But like I said, if I get to 45 and I haven't won any, then I will probably feel a lot of pressure then. But I still feel like I'm young enough to be able to do it, hopefully several times. "If I keep playing well, I'm still going to have a lot of majors to come, so a lot of opportunities are there for me. So we'll see." Garcia was once the young pretender with the game at his feet - the McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day or Rickie Fowler of his day - but there is a production line of young talent emerging on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as in Asia, and uncomfortable as it may seem, Garcia must now be regarded as an old hand on the back nine of his career. "My appetite is the same," he insisted. "Obviously it's nice to see a lot of these young guys playing and playing well, because that means that the future of the game is in good hands. "I love playing golf, I enjoy every minute of it, and I try to push myself to become better every year, better and more consistent. That hasn't changed." That outlook can only be good news for Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke and European golf in general. Despite so much young talent around, an in-form Garcia always enhances proceedings. His experience at Hazeltine could prove invaluable. And who knows? Maybe, if he can sort out how to hold his putter most profitably, this might just be his year. The victim, who was found near the Post Office on Cleethorpes High Street at about 02:45 GMT on Friday, remains in hospital, Humberside Police said. A 33-year-old man held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent has been released on bail pending further enquiries until a later date. Police have appealed for witnesses. A number of taxi drivers are thought to have been parked nearby at the time. Three groups comprise the Muslim separatists - the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Abu Sayyaf. The MILF and the Abu Sayyaf are breakaway factions of the MNLF. The communist insurgency, on the other hand, is propagated by the Communist Party of the Philippines' (CPP) military wing, the New People's Army (NPA). Most of the conflict in the south is in the remote islands of central Mindanao, especially on Basilan and Jolo. BBC News looks at the main rebel groups. In Mindanao, the followers of Islam - referred to as Moros or Moors by the Spaniards during the colonial period - make up a sizeable part of the population. Nur Misuari founded the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in 1971, with the goal of fighting the Philippine state for an independent Moro nation. An intervention by the UN-backed Organization of Islamic Conference - later called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation - led to the signing of the often-referred to Tripoli Agreement in Libya in 1976. This agreement, however, failed to hold. In 1986, President Corazon Aquino personally met Misuari to hold talks. In 1989, Ms Aquino signed a law that gave predominantly Muslim areas in the region a degree of self-rule, setting up the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). The ARMM is composed of the mainland provinces of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, and the island provinces of Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Basilan. But the significant peace agreement with the MNLF was signed in 1996, with President Fidel Ramos. This paved the way for Misuari to run for office and he was elected as ARMM governor the same year. His term however ended in violence in November 2001, when he led a failed uprising. He was subsequently jailed, but eventually released, in 2008. In February 2005, supporters loyal to Misuari launched a series of attacks on army troops in Jolo, the largest of the Sulu islands. The trigger for the violence was thought to be the launch of a huge military operation to target the armed Muslim group Abu Sayyaf - which is alleged to have ties with the Misuari faction. In August 2007, the group said it was behind an ambush on troops in Jolo, which led to nearly 60 deaths. In 2008, Misuari was ousted as MNLF chairman. Muslimim Sema succeeded him. Over the years, the MNLF is believed to have become weaker, and many factions have splintered from the main group. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front is considered the country's largest Muslim rebel group. It was formed in 1981 after its leader, Salamat Hashim, split from the MNLF in 1978. The MILF has had a long-term aim of creating a separate Islamic state in the southern Philippines. Since 1997, the group has had a series of peace talks with the Philippine government, most of which were brokered by Malaysia from 2003 onwards. In 2008, the government under President Gloria Arroyo said it had reached an agreement with the MILF on the boundaries for a Muslim homeland. However the Philippine Supreme Court ruled that the draft agreement was unconstitutional and the failure of negotiations prompted renewed fighting. President Benigno Aquino held talks with MILF leaders in Tokyo in 2011 to speed up the peace process. On 7 October, he announced that the government had reached a framework peace agreement with the MILF after talks in Malaysia. The agreement is expected to be formally signed on 15 October and a "comprehensive deal" reached by the end of the year. The approval of the law will be through a plebiscite, with a final peace deal expected before Mr Aquino ends his presidency in 2016, officials say. The agreement calls for the formation of a new, larger autonomous region in Mindanao to be named Bangsamoro after the Muslims living there. Some key points include the gradual decommissioning of MILF forces, a guarantee of democratic and human rights, and the expansion of Sharia courts for Muslim residents. The Abu Sayyaf is the smallest and most radical of the Islamic separatist groups in the southern Philippines. They are known to carry out kidnappings for ransom and bombings to achieve their stated goal of an independent Islamic state in Mindanao and the Sulu islands. The government views the rebels as little more than criminals and refuses to hold any form of talks with them. Abu Sayyaf - which means "Bearer of the Sword" in Arabic - split from the MNLF in 1991 under the leadership of Abdurajik Abubakar Janjalani, who was killed in a clash with Philippine police in December 1998. His younger brother, Khadafi Janjalani, followed as leader. He was also killed by Philippine troops in September 2006. Reports in June 2007 said Abu Sayyaf had chosen Yasser Igasan, one of the group's founders, to succeed Janjalani as leader. Both the MNLF and MILF have condemned the Abu Sayyaf's activities, and the US has included the group in its list of "terrorist" organisations, saying it has links with Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. Nationwide support for the Abu Sayyaf is limited, but analysts say many locals in its stronghold areas of Jolo and Basilan tolerate the rebels and even work for them, attracted by the prospect of receiving lucrative ransom payments. US troops have been helping the Philippine military fight the Abu Sayyaf, although they are limited to a training and advisory position because the Philippine Constitution bans foreign troops from taking part in actual combat. In June 2002, US-trained Philippine commandos tried to rescue three hostages held on Basilan island. Two of the hostages - one an American citizen - were killed in the resulting shootout. The group has also claimed responsibility for a series of bomb attacks over the years, including an attack on a passenger ferry in Manila Bay in February 2004 that killed 100 people. From 2008 to 2011, the group conducted a series of kidnappings for ransom. Kidnap victims include a group of Filipino journalists in 2008; foreign members of the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2009; and two Filipino-Americans in 2011. All of the victims have been released. In some cases, it was not clear whether ransom had been paid. An Australian man, kidnapped in 2011, is currently still in captivity. Since launching a major operation in August 2006 against the Abu Sayyaf, Manila has claimed a series of successes - including the deaths of Khadafi Janjalani and senior leaders Abu Sulaiman, also known as Jainal Antal Sali in 2007, and Albader Parad in 2010. In December 2009, Philippine officials said that they had arrested an Abu Sayyaf founder - Abdul Basir Latip - who was allegedly been involved in kidnapping foreigners and Christians. Abdul Basir Latip has also been accused of forging links between Abu Sayyaf and other militant Islamist groups, such as Jemaah Islamiah and al-Qaeda. The New People's Army (NPA) is the military wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), which was established in 1969 by Jose Maria Sison. The CPP - considered as one of the oldest communist insurgencies in the world - aims to overthrow the Philippine government using guerrilla-style warfare. The insurgency waged by the NPA over the years is reported to be one of the deadliest in the Philippines, with local reports putting the number at least 40,000. The group is listed on the Foreign Terrorist Organisation list of the US State Department. While the CPP was initially established with Maoist leanings and modelled after the agrarian revolution, the Communist Party of China had said in 2011 that they no longer support the CPP. The CPP had its heyday in the 1980s during Martial Law, but its influence has since waned. Analysts estimate that the NPA currently has at least 10,000 members. They have been credited with the kidnappings of locals and foreigners, extortion and killings. Many of the NPA's senior figures - including founder Jose Maria Sison - live in self-imposed exile in the Netherlands and claim to direct operations from there. Talks between the CPP's political arm and the government have been sporadic over the years. In 2004, a peace process was revived, with representatives of the rebel group meeting government officials in the Norwegian capital of Oslo. But peace talks were suspended after rebels blamed the government for their inclusion in the US list of terrorist groups. In August 2007, Sison was indicted in the Netherlands for ordering the murders of two former communist associates - Romulo Kintanar in 2003 and Arturo Tabara in 2004 - but the charges have since been dropped. The Armed Forces of the Philippines in 2011 declared at least 23 provinces free from the NPA. The CPP refutes the claim. The most recent high-profile formal talks between the government and the CPP were in Oslo in 2011. However, an agreement has yet to be reached. The 31-year-old opened the scoring from the spot but missed another penalty after the break when his effort came off both post and keeper Andris Vanins. Arturs Zjuzins equalised with a low strike before William Carvalho headed the Portuguese back in front. Ronaldo's volley made it 3-1 and Bruno Alves headed in a late fourth.

Where could the Liberal Democrats make a resurgence? Where might Labour and the Conservatives lock horns? Where is Plaid Cymru in play, and what kind of role will independent councillors have in this election? Here are some of the authorities where these questions will come to the fore as the results roll in on 5 May. Can Labour hold on to the largest authority by population served in Wales? Can Jeremy Corbyn's leadership prove to be an asset rather than a liability in Wales' metropolitan capital? The risk for the party is that it is hit on three sides by the opposition groups - with the Liberal Democrats stronger in the centre of the city, the Tories stronger in the north and Plaid in the west. Can Labour fend that off and retain control, or will they lose out to rival parties on 4 May? It regained control of the capital at the last elections in 2012 from a Lib Dem-Plaid Cymru coalition. Since then the Labour group has been hit by internal rows - largely based along personality lines - and there has been a change in leader since the last election. By-elections and quitting councillors have also contributed to its majority being shaved from 17 to six over the course of the term. There are currently 39 Labour councillors, with 17 Lib Dems, 9 Conservatives, 5 Plaid Cymru and two independents. There are 75 Labour candidates, 75 from the Liberal Democrats, 59 in Plaid Cymru, 75 Conservatives, 14 Greens, 12 UKIP candidates, 5 independents and 17 others. This west Wales council has historically been a good example of a Labour/Plaid Cymru tussle with a significant independent presence. At the last election Plaid lost two seats overall, while Labour gained 12. Labour led a coalition with independents until 2015 when a coalition of Plaid Cymru and independent councillors took control. The authority has been in the news in recent years, with controversy over the pay of chief executive Mark James, and a libel case also involving the senior officer. Plaid Cymru, which is fielding the most number of candidates at 66, will want to boost its numbers and retain leadership of the authority. Labour will, naturally, want it back. And how will independent numbers affect who eventually takes the helm? The authority currently has 29 Plaid Cymru councillors, 22 Labour and 20 classed as independent, two classed as independent unaffiliated and one classed as People First. Plaid Cymru has 66 candidates, while Labour has 54. There are 52 independents running, as well as 21 Conservatives, 12 UKIP candidates, six Lib Dems, one Green and two others. Four seats, where the numbers of candidates nominated mean there is no competition in the wards concerned, will be uncontested. Independents play a big role in local government in Wales. There have a large presence in many of Wales' authorities, including Wrexham, where they are in control. That only happened after Labour lost control of the authority, however, with ten Labour councillors quitting the party group in 2014. With a highly-charged general election campaign taking place at the same time, can independents in Wales make their voices heard? Can the Conservatives, who are tipped in the north east for general election gains and have a role within the ruling administration, make gains in Wrexham? And can Labour recover lost ground or Plaid make any headway? Wrexham currently has 20 independents, 12 Labour, five Conservatives, five Liberal Democrats, eight in the Wrexham Independent group and two Plaid Cymru councillors. For the election there are 62 independents standing, 39 Labour candidates, 20 Conservatives, 15 Plaid Cymru, 13 Liberal Democrats, three UKIP, two Greens and two others. Three seats will be uncontested. Swansea was one of the authorities Labour won control of at the 2012 council elections. But could it be an authority that serves as an opinion poll ahead of the general election the month later? This time Labour's 72 candidates will be facing 70 from the Conservatives, in an election that comes two years after the latter party's shock general election victory in Gower. Can Swansea county Tories solidify that gain by winning seats in the area, despite the fact that the party has few councillors currently? Labour won the authority from a Liberal Democrat-led coalition, when the Lib Dems lost 10 seats. Can the party make a re-bound? At present Labour has 47 councillors, versus 11 Liberal Democrats, four independents, three Conservatives, three in the Independents@Swansea group, two non-aligned and two others. Labour are fielding 72 candidates in Swansea, versus 70 from the Tories, 25 from the Lib Dems, 17 from Plaid Cymru, 11 independents, eight Greens, seven UKIP and 17 others. If the council elections are going to be any kind of indication of how the parties might do ahead of the snap election in May, it will be authorities like Bridgend that we will be keeping an eye on. It is here, at Brackla Community Centre, where the prime minister took her general election campaign to Wales. Theresa May was parking her Tory tanks on Labour's lawn, in the backyard of First Minister Carwyn Jones, and the Tories have been eyeing the seat for some time. The irony is that the Conservatives are only fielding 36 candidates, although that is more than any other party except Labour. If the Tories fail to get many councillors elected, will that be any indication of how the party may do in June - and will Mrs May's visit begin to look overly optimistic? Or will Labour voters stick with the party for the locals, and go elsewhere for Westminster? Labour currently has 31 Labour councillors, with 16 independents, three Liberal Democrats, one Conservative and one Plaid Cymru member. Labour is standing 54 candidates, against 52 independents, 36 from the Conservatives, 18 Plaid Cymru, six from the Liberal Democrats, four in the Greens, one UKIP and two others. Most but not all councils count overnight. Nine out of the 22 will not start full counts until the next day. Overnight counts: Friday counts: Although the results should be known by Friday evening, unless a party wins an overall majority of seats on a council, it may be days or even weeks before the political make-up of the administration or cabinet to run the authority is agreed. He opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday, killing 49 people in the deadliest shooting in modern US history. FBI officials say the 29-year-old, who was killed by police, appeared to "have leanings towards" radical Islamist ideology, although it was not clear whether the attack was a case of domestic or international terrorism. Mateen made emergency 911 calls shortly beforehand in which he reportedly stated his allegiance to Islamic State. The group later said that an IS "fighter" had carried out the attack, but did not specify whether it was directly involved or simply taking credit for inspiring it. What we know Eyewitness accounts Meanwhile Mateen's father told NBC News the attack "had nothing to do with religion". Seddique Mateen said his son became "very angry" after seeing two men kissing in downtown Miami recently. He said the family had not been aware that Mateen might have been planning an attack. "We are in shock like the whole country." But there are also reports Mateen used gay dating apps and was a regular at the club where he carried out the massacre. Ty Smith told the Orlando Sentinel he had seen Mateen at least 12 times at the Pulse, saying he would sometimes drink heavily, becoming "loud and belligerent". As questions emerged about the gunman's history, FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper told reporters that Mateen had been interviewed by FBI officers twice in 2013 following inflammatory comments to colleagues asserting ties to IS. The investigation ended after officers were unable to substantiate the claims. However, Mateen was questioned again in 2014 about a potential connection to Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, the American known to have carried out a suicide bombing in the Syria conflict. The FBI investigation found no "substantial relationship" between Mateen and Abu-Salha and the case was closed, said Special Agent Hopper. Despite being on the FBI's radar, Manteen was not on an official terrorism watch list and was able to legally hold a state firearms licence, according to Florida records. It has emerged that Mateen had worked as an armed security officer for the firm G4S since 2007. Police say he attacked the Pulse nightclub wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun. Mateen was born in New York to Afghan parents but had moved to Fort Pierce, a city about two hours' drive south of Orlando. His ex-wife, Sitora Yusufiy, has said that he was violent and mentally unstable and had beaten her repeatedly. The pair married in Fort Pierce in 2009 after meeting online, but her parents intervened and removed her from their home just months later after learning of his abuse. "He was not a stable person," she told the Washington Post. "He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn't finished or something like that." She told the newspaper that Mateen had not been very religious when she was with him and he had regularly exercised at the gym. She said he had owned a small-calibre handgun and worked as a guard at a nearby facility for juvenile delinquents. Speaking to reporters later on Sunday, Ms Yusufiy said Mateen was bi-polar and although some commentators were trying to link his actions to IS or religion, the real cause was mental illness. The couple divorced in 2011. Police believe Mateen rented a car and drove to Orlando to carry out the attack on the nightclub, according to media reports. In his alleged call to 911, he is said to have referred to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. In a series of social media photos, Mateen is seen wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the New York Police Department name and emblem. However, the NYPD said Mateen had no association with the department and the shirts were unofficial merchandise that could be bought at any shop. The gunman had filed a petition for a name change in 2006 from Omar Mir Seddique to Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, according to US media. It has emerged that his father, Seddique Mateen, has a television show on a California-based channel that expresses anti-Pakistani government views and sympathy for the Afghan Taliban. The 35-year-old scored his first goal for the club since joining from Juventus in January. Bafetimbi Gomis, on loan from Swansea City, headed the hosts in front before Mario Balotelli equalised with his 15th league goal of the season. Victory moves Marseille up to fifth in the table with two games remaining.

Swansea council said it was contacted by South Wales Evening Post after readers reported the problem in Townhill and Mayhill to the paper. A council spokesman said a potential source of the sound had been located. Members of the public were asked to contact the local authority's noise pollution team with information. Defender Dunk and French winger Knockaert, both 25, have signed five-year contracts with the Seagulls to keep them at the club until June 2022. Republic of Ireland defender Duffy, 25, has signed a four-year deal. Brighton manager Chris Hughton said the trio had "earned the deals" and he expects the trio to "excel in the Premier League" following promotion. Dunk made his first-team debut in 2011 and the new deal will see him through more than a decade as a professional with the club. The Englishman was joined in defence last season by Duffy, who was signed for an undisclosed fee that was widely reported as a transfer record for the Seagulls. Knockaert, who moved from Standard Liege in January 2016 and has scored 20 goals in 65 league games, had extended his contract with the club in March. The cameras have been installed at 27 sites on the A9 between Inverness and Dunblane at a cost of £2.5m. The speed limit for HGVs using the A9 has also been raised from 40mph to 50mph on single carriageways as a pilot project, following calls from hauliers. Transport Minister Keith Brown said both measures would save lives on the road, which is seen as being one of the most dangerous in the country. The cameras have been placed on single carriageway sections of the A9 between Inverness and Perth. From Perth the road is dual carriageway. It is hoped raising the speed limit for HGVs will reduce driver frustration caused by slower vehicles on the busy road, which is the main route between central Scotland and the Highlands. Fatal and serious accidents on the single carriageway between Perth and Inverness are significantly higher than the national average. Work on the new camera system, which got under way in May, saw columns, cameras and infra-red lighting masts erected on the single carriageway sections. Earlier this year, figures suggested that the presence of the newly-installed cameras was already cutting drivers' speed - even though they had not yet been switched on. Mr Brown said action would be taken against anyone caught breaking the speed limit by the cameras. He added: "First and foremost they will make that road safer. All the evidence we have had from other sites show reductions in fatalities. Surely everyone should welcome that." Neil Greig, director of policy and research at the Institute of Advanced Motorists, described the camera network as "one of the most innovative and important road safety schemes in Scotland for years". He added: "With full dualling still over 10 years away it is vital that safety on the A9 is maintained and average speed cameras are a tried and tested way to achieve this. "It's a big change and some drivers will have to rethink their whole approach to travelling along the route." Environmental group WWF Scotland has called for average speed camera schemes to be introduced on more of the country's roads and motorways "to help save lives and cut pollution". Climate and energy policy officer Gina Hanrahan said: "Alongside the clear safety benefits, enforcing speed limits on trunk roads using average speed cameras and other tools is an effective and cost-effective way to reduce climate emissions, as well as fuel costs for motorists. "To reduce health-threatening levels of air pollution and meet our climate targets, the use of average speed cameras and other approaches to help reduce excessive speeds should be seriously considered on other major roads across Scotland." But the camera system has been opposed by campaign group A9 Average Speed Cameras Are Not the Answer, which has called for action to tackle dangerous overtaking on the road. Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey Liberal Democrat MP Danny Alexander said regular users of the road were opposed to the system. He said the scheme should be scrapped and the dualling of the A9 accelerated instead. The installation of the cameras comes as the Scottish government moves forward with its plan to make the route a dual carriageway for its entire length. The £3bn project involves the upgrade of 80 miles of single carriageway along the A9 between Perth and Inverness by 2025. Caroline Jones's mother Mary Benson had volunteered in the Cancer Research UK shop in Harpenden, Hertfordshire for 13 years. She died in October, aged 72. Ms Jones, 46, said "other than her pants" she will get her look from the store's "treasure trove". She hopes her Knickers Model's Own campaign will encourage others to visit charity shops. Ms Jones, who also volunteers as a window dresser at the shop, started wearing charity clothes on 1 January and posts a daily picture on social media. "It's not a weird world I am entering, I've always mixed up my wardrobe with new and pre-loved pieces - but this year I am not buying any new clothes," she said. "I will buy some new knickers occasionally though, I think I'm allowed that." The mother of three said she wanted to celebrate her mother's life "through the fashion lens, in a way I know she would have thoroughly enjoyed". "Fashion was one of the many things that tied us together," she said. "Together, we went shopping, we noted seasonal trends, we fell about laughing in mirrored changing rooms often dealing with a zip issue. "She was always very stylish. The cancer had given her a whole new look - it made her look at her wardrobe differently, she found a new style. "She would love [this campaign], she would be very proud." As well as raising money through buying the clothes and donations from those who like her daily picture, Ms Jones hopes her quest will "persuade people to spend more time in charity shops," she said. A Cancer Research UK spokesman said: "Caroline knows more than most the bargains that can be picked up from Cancer Research UK shops and she is encouraging others to visit." Ms Jones added: "[The clothes] are there to be re-cleaned, re-worn, re-loved, re-shared, re-enjoyed and reinvented... trust me," she said. "The shop has told me it is already getting new customers who have seen my page. "People say getting my picture is inspiring them."

Ond beth yw cysylltiadau Cymru â'r diwydiant hedfan? Dyma ychydig o'r hanes: Wilbur ac Orville Wright sy'n cael eu cydnabod gan amlaf fel y cyntaf i hedfan mewn awyren self-propelled yn llwyddiannus, a hynny yn North Carolina, UDA, yn 1903. Ond mae rhai yn dadlau mai Cymro o'r enw William Frost oedd y cyntaf i gyflawni'r dasg, yn Saundersfoot, Sir Benfro yn 1896. Mae sôn bod Frost wedi hedfan 500 metr cyn iddo gael damwain a hedfan i mewn i goeden. Yn anffodus doedd yna ddim tystion yno i gadarnhau y digwyddiad yn annibynnol, a chyn iddo gael y cyfle i geisio eto fe gafodd y peiriant ei ddinistrio yn llwyr yn ystod storm. Cafodd James Ira Thomas Jones ei eni ar fferm ger Sanclêr yn Sir Gâr yn 1896. Roedd yn beilot llwyddiannus yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, ac roedd yn gyfrifol am saethu llawer o awyrennau Almaenaidd i lawr yn ei gyfnod yn yr Awyrlu Brenhinol. Ar un adeg roedd ganddo 'ffigyrau lladd' cystal â'r enwog Farwn Coch o'r Almaen, gan ladd 38 o weithiau mewn pedwar mis. Mae'n debyg bod ei ddyddiau yn hela ar y fferm tra oedd yn iau wedi ei helpu i feithrin ei ddawn i saethu. Cafodd ei urddo sawl gwaith, gan gynnwys y Military Cross a'r Urdd Gwasanaeth Nodedig (Distinguished Service Order). Aeth ymlaen i ymladd yn erbyn y Bolsieficiaid yn ystod Rhyfel Cartref Rwsia (1917-1923). Roedd hefyd yn brwydro yn yr Ail Ryfel Byd ac fe gafodd ddyrchafiad i fod yn Gadlywydd Adain (Wing Commander). Bu farw yn Aberaeron yn 1960 yn 64 oed. Damwain awyren ger Llandŵ ym Mro Morgannwg yn 1950 oedd y ddamwain awyren waethaf yn y byd ar y pryd. Roedd yr awyren Avro Tudor V wedi ei llogi i gludo cefnogwyr rygbi nôl o gêm rhyngwladol rhwng Cymru ac Iwerddon. Dim ond tri o'r 83 o deithwyr wnaeth oroesi wedi i'r awyren syrthio i'r ddaear wrth geisio glanio yn Llandŵ. Cafodd pedwar o bobl eu lladd ar 6 mai 1959 pan syrthiodd awyren i'r ddaear ar un o ffyrdd prysuraf gogledd Caerdydd. Roedd hi'n wyrth na chafodd rhagor eu lladd gan bod yr awyren wedi syrthio yn agos at Stadiwm Maendy ble roedd cystadleuaeth athletau fawr yn cael ei chynnal ar y pryd. Roedd y lleoliad hefyd dafliad carreg o Ysgol Uwchradd Cathays. Yng Nghaerdydd yn 1984 cafodd cwmni awyrennau Airways International Cymru ei sefydlu. Roedd yn cynnig hediadau i 20 o ganolfannau ledled Ewrop, gan gynnwys Milan, Geneva a Salzburg. Roedd y cwmni yn gwneud yn dda yn ystod yr haf ond yn ystod misoedd y gaeaf roedd yr awyrennau'n cael eu benthyg i gwmnïau eraill fel Air New Zealand, Aer Lingus, British Midland Airways a Manx Airlines. Daeth Airways International Cymru i ben fel gwasanaeth yn 1988. Cwmni awyrennau Cymreig arall oedd Awyr Cymru, enw sydd wedi cael ei ddefnyddio ddwywaith - yn 1977 am ddeunaw mis, ac eto yn 1997. Ar 23 Ebrill, 2006 daeth y gwasanaeth i ben yn barhaol, oherwydd costau cynyddol a chystadleuaeth gan gwmnïau enfawr a oedd yn cynnig gwasanaeth tebyg. Cafodd y safle ym Mrychdyn yn Sir y Fflint ei agor yn 1939 fel ffatri i adeiladu'r awyrennau bomio Vickers Wellington a'r Lancaster yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Fe brynodd y cwmni De Havilland y safle a cafodd yr awyrennau Mosquito a Comet eu cynhyrchu yno. Heddiw mae dros 5,000 o bobl yn gweithio ar y safle ym Mrychdyn, gydag adenydd pob awyren Airbus yn cael eu cynhyrchu yno, ac eithrio'r A320 (sy'n cael eu gwneud yn Tseina) a'r A400M (sydd yn cael eu gwneud yn Filton). Mae'r adenydd yn cael eu cludo i dde Ffrainc ar awyren enfawr Airbus Beluga. Ond oherwydd eu maint mae adenydd yr A380 yn cael eu cludo ar long i Toulouse i'w cysylltu i weddill yr awyren. Mae'n debyg bod 34 maes awyr o ryw fath wedi bod yng Nghymru ar un adeg. Mae'r rhain yn amrywio o faes awyr rhyngwladol, meysydd awyr rhanbarthol a meysydd bychain iawn. Maes Awyr Caerdydd yw'r mwyaf yng Nghymru, a'r unig un sy'n cael ei ystyried fel un rhyngwladol. Mae Maes Awyr Abertawe a Sain Tathan ymhlith y meysydd awyr rhanbarthol. Ymysg y rhai bychain mae meysydd awyr Caernarfon, Aberporth a Llanbedr, Meirionnydd. Dechreuodd y gwaith o adeiladu Maes Awyr Caerdydd yn 1941. Yn ôl ystadegau diweddar, Amsterdam yw'r daith fwyaf poblogaidd, gyda Dulyn a Mallorca yn ail ac yn drydydd. James Shaw lost 6-2 6-1 to London 2012 gold medallist Noam Gershony before world number three Andy Lapthorne levelled the tie with a 6-3 6-1 victory over Shraga Weinberg. Lapthorne and Antony Cotterill then beat Gershony and Weinberg 6-3 6-0 in the decider of the final in Sardinia. GB missed out on a historic double as the men's team lost 2-1 to France. "It's been a great week, the team spirit has been really high and we have had some really good performances," Cotterill said. "Everyone has played a part, including the crowd. We knew today would be tough against Israel but we played some great tennis to finish with a comfortable win in doubles." The GB men's team had a dream start in their final, as world number seven Alfie Hewett beat France's world number five Nicolas Peifer 6-3 6-3. But world number one Stephane Houdet forced the deciding doubles rubber, beating world number two and five-time Grand Slam champion Gordon Reid 6-4 6-3. Then, in a repeat of the Rio 2016 Paralympics final, Paralympic champions Houdet and Peifer beat silver medallists Hewett and Reid 6-3 6-0. Paralympic singles champion Reid added: "It's a disappointing end to a great week as we came into the final unbeaten in all our matches this week and were confident we could regain the title we won in 2015. "However, Houdet and Peifer are not Paralympic champions for nothing and we will look to come back stronger." Psychologists at Cardiff University are working on a number of projects looking at the health benefits of "sleep engineering". The team is considering ways of "decoupling" emotions from troubling memories during rest. Sleep expert Prof Penny Lewis said the research area was new and "really exciting". Post-traumatic stress disorder is believed to affect one-in-three people who suffer a traumatic event, with thousands of sufferers in the UK, including many armed forces veterans. Prof Lewis, who is based as the university's CUBRIC neuroscience institute, believes the brain's processing of emotions during sleep could hold one of the keys to treating the debilitating disorder. "Sometimes things happen to you in your life that you don't want to remember in graphic detail, like if you've been mugged or had an accident for instance," she said. "And it's important over time those memories become less upsetting. So, what you want probably is to remember what happened but not to get upset every time you remember it." Sleep scientists believe these kinds of anxiety could be treated by triggering the troubling memories while a person slumbers. This triggering of memory reactivation can be done by presenting stimuli that are linked to the target memories during sleep. Prof Lewis said: "So if we trigger emotional memories to reactivate during REM sleep, then we find that [people] rate the upsetting memories as much-less upsetting than they did before sleeping. "It's early days on this but we're pretty excited about it," said Prof Lewis. The university is currently conducting experiments using sleep labs at CUBRIC. Female rebels were compelled to have abortions so as not to undermine their fighting ability, Attorney General Eduardo Montealegre told reporters. The left-wing rebels have denied this in the past, saying contraception was readily available. The Farc has fought a five-decade insurgency in Colombia but peace talks in Cuba have made significant progress. Agreement has been reached in four broad areas during three years of talks with the Colombian government. These include how the justice system deals with crimes committed by the rebels and government forces. Rebel mothers seek lost children Peace process: What's at stake? Mr Montealegre said 150 former fighters had testified to being forced to have abortions. "We have evidence to prove that forced abortion was a policy of the Farc that was based on forcing a female fighter to abort so as not to lose her as an instrument of war," he said. Government figures suggest there are up to 8,000 fighters, a third of them women. More than 220,000 people have been killed in the conflict, the majority civilians. The Farc, which was formed in 1964 with a vow to install a Marxist regime, once controlled a swathe of Colombian territory the size of Switzerland. But the group has suffered a number of setbacks in recent years and has become increasingly involved in the drug trade. It gives the president the right to negotiate global trade deals, with Congress only able to approve or reject a deal but not change it. The 'fast-track' trade bill must now go the Senate for approval, which is by no means assured. Democrats and unions believe it will lead to the loss of US jobs. The measure, which was passed by 218 - 208, was amended to strip out a companion bill which aimed to provide support for American workers hurt by imports. It takes President Obama a step closer to passing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) - a deal between the US and 11 other nations to remove or reduce barriers to trade and foreign investment. The deal would include Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru. Businesses support the TPP because they argue that it would open new markets for them. Unions, on the other hand, are concerned about the effect on jobs. Sheila Hyslop, 49, died of her injuries four days after the fall on Albert Road in Dumfries in March last year. She was taken to the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh for treatment to a head injury but never recovered. A fatal accident inquiry at Dumfries Sheriff Court was due this month but extra time has been allowed to prepare. Despite cool conditions the 28-year-old from Bradford posted a lap of 123.580mph on his Silicone Engineering Kawasaki Classic Superbike. The lap moves him ahead of Michael Dunlop who has been quickest in every other session this week. Dunlop posted a lap of 120.51mph after making some chassis changes. Gary Johnson and James Hillier both posted laps in excess of 122mph to move into the top five on the leader board and Bruce Anstey completed a lap at 121.18mph. Manx rider Ryan Kneen set the quickest lap in the Lightweight class at 111.63mph with only Ian Lougher and Anstey having gone faster. Meanwhile, Isle of Man rider Andrew Dudgeon continued to impress in Manx Grand Prix practice with a lap of 118.96mph - his quickest of the week. Tom Weedon (118.23mph), Barry Lee Evans (117.26mph) and Glenn Harrison (116.94mph) all improved on their lap times ahead of Wednesday's Junior Manx Grand Prix. The session was later red flagged following an incident at Churchtown on the approach to Ramsey. James Bucket was taken by helicopter to Noble's Hospital where he was reported to have fractures. Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson ended the session after mist descended around the course. Dean Harrison - 123.580mph Ian Lougher - 113.893mph John McGuinness - 107.199 Michael Dunlop - 102.082mph Andrew Dudgeon - 118.96mph Typhoons and torrential rain have damaged 5,000 homes and left more than 60,000 people homeless. South Pyongyang province suffered the biggest lost of life. More than 30,00 hectares of land have been submerged. North Korea is often hit by severe floods. Its poor economy leaves it ill-equipped to deal with the fall-out. The KCNA website said "big human and material losses" had been caused between 18 and 24 July. Around 300 public buildings and 60 factories had been inundated or collapsed, the news agency added. Last year summer floods and a bitterly cold winter led to chronic food shortages, prompting Pyongyang to appeal for international aid. The United Nations has forecast that three million North Koreans would need food aid this year. For 66 years North Korea has been governed by a secretive dynastic regime, which has remained isolated from the international community. Kim Jong-un, who became leader after the death of his father Kim Jong-il late last year, so far seems to be adopting a different approach to leading North Korea. But relations with the West remain strained over its nuclear programme and accusations that Pyongyang violated UN resolutions in April by testing long-range missiles. Apethorpe Hall, near Oundle in Northamptonshire, was a favourite haunt of King James I. The mansion has been bought for £2.5m by French professor, diplomat and academic, Jean Christophe Iseux, Baron von Pfetten. English Heritage spent £8m renovating the hall, which fell into disrepair under a previous owner. Part of the deal with Baron von Pfetten will see Apethorpe Hall open to the public for 50 days every year for the next 80 years. English Heritage will manage public access. Built in 1470-80, Apethorpe played host to Queen Elizabeth I, King James I and King Charles I. Its stately apartments were where James indulged in "more commodious entertainment... and princely recreation" with his favourite, George Villiers, later to become the Duke of Buckingham. The hall eventually became the property of Wanis Mohammed Burweila, but he left the country after the Libyan Embassy siege in 1984. History of Apethorpe Hall Apethorpe then fell into decay and ruin, riven with dry rot with its Jacobean plasterwork ceilings starting to collapse The building was eventually bought by a consortium led by former QPR president Harold Winton, but the government was not happy with its plans and issued a compulsory purchase order and Apethorpe was bought for £3.5m. In 2008, the 51,000 sq ft hall, complete with stable block, gardener's cottage and 45 acres of land, was put on the market for £4.5m. English Heritage chief executive Simon Thurley said Apethorpe was "by far the most important country house to have been threatened with major loss through decay since the 1950s". Baron von Pfetten said he had spent the past 10 years renovating a 17th Century chateau in France and that his aim for Apethorpe was for it to "regain the place in British history it deserves".

The candidates so far announced for the constituency are Stephen "Steve" Emmens (UKIP), Lesley Grahame (Green), Stan Grant (Class War), Clive Lewis (Labour), Lisa Townsend (Conservative) and Simon Wright (Liberal Democrat). Britain's world number two and defending champion Andy Murray will be joined by four other top 10 players in Rafael Nadal, Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Milos Raonic. Marin Cilic, Juan Martin del Potro, Richard Gasquet, John Isner and Nick Kyrgios will also be competing. The tournament runs from 13-19 June. Scotsman Murray, 28, will be aiming to become the first player to win five titles at the pre-Wimbledon event. Wimbledon begins on 27 June this year, running until 10 July. Media playback is not supported on this device Media playback is not supported on this device Reds striker Christian Benteke headed in against Southampton at Anfield to put Klopp on course for his first win. But Saints forward Sadio Mane made it 1-1 when he levelled late in the game. "It's only a goal, only a game of football. It's like it's the last thing in your life and we have to calm this down," said 48-year-old Klopp. "I don't understand this pressure but the guys feel it. I hope I'm not the only person in the stadium who thought 'this is not the end of the world'. We can work on this." Media playback is not supported on this device The German, who replaced Brendan Rodgers as Liverpool manager earlier this month, believes he has seen signs of progression in his players. "I saw development, I saw the next step, but at the end we are disappointed because of the result," added the former Borussia Dortmund coach. "The problem is the other teams don't wait for us - they want to win, they want to beat us." Klopp will get his next chance to register his first win as Liverpool boss against Bournemouth at Anfield in the League Cup fourth round on Wednesday. "Football is not a fairytale. Sometimes we write stories like this but today it didn't happen," he said. "We can change a lot of things if it's necessary but not all things will work from the start. If you work something you are not 100% better the next day." The German can clinch the championship in Mexico this weekend if he wins and Hamilton finishes 10th or lower. On his personal battle with Hamilton, who he has known since they were teenagers, he said: "It's not something I think about too much. "Of course it's intense, but at the same time there is an easy-going side." Rosberg is continuing to insist he is concentrating only on each race as it comes and not thinking about the championship, a mantra he has been using since very early in the season. He says he is "well aware" of the fact that he could win the title on Sunday. But he added: "It has been a great season so far which has put me in this position. It is exciting to be in the championship battle with Lewis towards the end of the season. "We've been there before but it is very cool. "But I have said before my way of achieving the best performance is to focus on the things within my control and that here in Mexico is to try to win the race." Hamilton said he was "not frustrated" about the fact that even winning the final three races might not be enough for him to clinch the title. Referencing the engine problems that have meant he is behind in the championship rather than leading it, he told BBC Sport: "We have had our frustrations already this year. We prepare for whatever we face. "Me and my guys are working as hard as we can. As long as we have done everything in our power to get the best result, then we can go into our winter with a peaceful heart." Rosberg has won nine races to Hamilton's seven this season and leads the Briton by 26 points with a maximum of 75 available in the three remaining races. Such is his advantage that he can afford to finish second twice and third once and still clinch the title even if Hamilton win all three races in Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. Rosberg owes his position partly to a series of engine problems that have afflicted Hamilton this year, without which the reigning champion would almost certainly be leading. Hamilton has had two engine failures in qualifying in early-season races, a subsequent grid penalty and an engine failure while leading the Malaysian Grand Prix in September affect his points total, while Rosberg has only suffered a gearbox glitch that resulted in him dropping from second to third at the British Grand Prix. Rosberg said he had no objection to people pointing out that Hamilton had suffered more reliability problems than him. "I'm here to win races," Rosberg said. "There will always be people who have opinions going against me for one reason or another. It's the nature of the business. I like to focus on the people who support me and that's it." Asked what winning the title would mean to him, Rosberg said: "It's a childhood dream but that's where it ends because what's important this weekend is winning the Mexican Grand Prix and then we see what happens. "It just feels right to focus on the things I can influence, keep it simple, be in the moment and it's been working so just stick with it." The club's under-14s team was travelling back from a match in Donegal town when the bus crashed on the Laghey to Pettigo Road, near the border. It is understood the bus overturned at about 15:00 GMT on Saturday, A second man was transferred to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry with a suspected broken ankle. The visitors failed to clear a corner and substitute Adams turned in from close range to earn a first win in four league games for Gary Rowett's Blues. Earlier, home striker Clayton Donaldson had hit the post with a low shot and Bristol City's Lee Tomlin sent a free-kick against the crossbar. Blues' Jonathan Spector was sent off for a tackle on Tomlin late on. The visitors had been much improved after the interval but their defeat at St Andrew's stretched their winless league run to three games. Donaldson scored a hat-trick in last season's corresponding fixture but his effort against the upright was the closest he came to ending a personal goal drought which stretches back to 17 September. Adams, who joined Blues from Sheffield United in August, was on a similar scoreless run but popped up to score his third goal for the club with nine minutes remaining. Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett: "We navigated the difficult periods and finished winning the game. "Sometimes you can win without playing well in the Championship. You saw Burnley do it last season where you are resolute, keep clean sheets, nick games and don't play well. That is a skill in itself. "This season we have been much better playing at home. The clean sheet was important and I'm delighted with our home form which includes wins over Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday and now Bristol City." Bristol City manager Lee Johnson: "I'm disappointed to come away from the game without any points. "The games at Championship level are always on a fine balance. I was disappointed with the goal and the mistakes which led up to that goal, "I cannot be too critical of my side because I thought we were fantastic in the second half. Away from home we took the game to a good side and peppered the final third with runners and quality. It was just that finish and beating the man of the match, Tomasz Kuszczak."

The fire broke out at Housing Options premises on High Street in the city centre at around 19:20 GMT. Fire investigators have been at the scene and inquires are continuing. Anyone with information about the man or the incident has been asked to call 101. Ashley Broomhall hopes to make the trek on Wednesday, the date of which - May the fourth- is often linked to the Star Wars phrase "May the force..." He will wear his stormtrooper armour for the walk up 3,208ft (978m) Scafell Pike in the Lake District. Mr Broomhall wore the costume for the treks up the two taller peaks. It took him seven hours to walk up and down 4,406ft (1,344m) Ben Nevis near Fort William. On the way up he had a snowball fight with other walkers. Before Ben Nevis, he tackled 3,560ft (1,085m) Snowdon in Snowdonia, Wales. Mr Broomhall, from Whitchurch in Shropshire, has been doing the walks to raise money for Cancer Research UK and Lingen Davies Cancer Relief Fund. He set himself the peaks challenge after his mother, Janet, was diagnosed with cancer. The 28-year-old said: "My mum is now a year in remission and everything has gone brilliantly after her treatments. "Unfortunately my auntie, Sue Toms, has also been diagnosed with breast cancer and, unlike my mum who just needed radiotherapy after her operation to remove the cancer, she has had to go through chemotherapy to shrink the lump down before her operation. "Her operation is scheduled for next week and my mum will be going down to Cornwall to be with her and help." He added: "We are all keeping our fingers crossed and because of my mum's experiences with her cancer she has been able to help my aunt and understand what she is going through." Mr Broomhall has been a member of Star Wars costuming club the 501st UK Garrison for about six years. Members attend events across the UK dressed in "movie-accurate" costumes to raise funds for charity. Christopher Halliwell led police to Becky Godden's body shortly after he confessed to killing Miss O'Callaghan. But he was not prosecuted over Miss Godden's death after a judge ruled detectives ignored arrest guidelines. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating and the leading officer has been suspended. It means Miss Godden's family do not definitively know who killed her. The IPCC also upheld three complaints from Miss Godden's family about the way they were treated by police officers. Her father John Godden said he would never put his trust in the police again. "I'll go to my grave and not know who killed Rebecca Godden and I'll never forgive them for it. Never." Wiltshire Police said following recommendations from the IPCC, it would be writing to the family to apologise for any distress caused and was reviewing its family liaison officer policies. Halliwell was identified by police as the main suspect in 22-year-old Miss O'Callaghan's murder after CCTV caught him driving outside the nightclub in Swindon she went missing from. Following Halliwell's arrest, he was taken not to a police station to be read his rights but to local beauty spot Barbury Castle by Det Supt Steve Fulcher. Mrs Justice Cox said Det Supt Fulcher's decision to ignore guidelines in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act were "significant and substantial". She added the move was intended to create "circumstances deliberately designed to persuade the defendant to speak". And it led to Halliwell only facing charges over the murder of Miss O'Callaghan and not Miss Godden, also known as Becky Godden-Edwards, who had been missing for eight years. Det Supt Fulcher said he had made the decision to not take Halliwell to a police station in a bid to "appeal to the killer's conscience". The police and Crown Prosecution Service said the murder charge in relation to Miss Godden had not been dropped. Det Ch Supt Kier Pritchard, head of protective services at Wiltshire Police, said that while the charge had never been put in court, "it is very much our intention to continue the live murder investigation and bring that final closure for Becky's family". The Huer's Hut on Towan Head, Newquay, was built in the 19th Century as a shelter for fish-spotters called huers. The huer would shout "heva heva" ("here they are") to alert the fishermen in Newquay Harbour. The Grade 2* listed building has been restored after residents set up a campaign group to help raise funds for its repair. Peter Hicks, from The Old Cornwall Society, said: "The huers were watching for signs of pilchards in the bay. They would notice a change in the colour of the water to a dark reddish brown. "They would see seagulls diving in, catching fish. "It was important job because pilchards came through the bay quite quickly." The huer would use a trumpet-type instrument and wave gorse or heather to alert the fishermen. At its height, millions of pilchards were exported from Cornwall before a decline in numbers. Mr Hicks said: "Huer comes from the same derivation as hue and cry when the people of a town or village would see a thief and raise a hue and cry and chase that person." All the repairs have been carried out using original materials such as lime mortar. Local councillor Geoff Brown said: "It is an iconic building and means a lot to people of Newquay. I'm really delighted they've done such a fantastic job of refurbishing it." "I have used all my prehistoric powers to swim," Fu Yuanhui said in an interview with CCTV5 after she qualified for the women's 100m backstroke final. When asked what her hopes were for the final, she said: "No expectation! I'm very satisfied now!" That's how she began to rock China's internet and social media. Add her exaggerated facial expressions and humour, and she quickly became an online celebrity. She eventually won a bronze medal in the 100m backstroke final, not gold. But that hasn't reduced the affection from her fans. In fact, her fans on microblogging platform Sina Weibo have increased from a hundred thousand to four million over the past two days, and are still increasing. Many fans have also been sharing cute cartoons of Fu. Young Chinese social media users have been drawn to her straight-forward character, her sincerity and her attitude towards competition. Joanna Zhan, a fan in Chongqing, said she liked Fu because she is "so cute, and she is as powerful as a mudslide". "Fu interpreted the Olympic spirit of challenging herself and enjoying the game," she added. Chinese athletes traditionally follow a pattern in media interviews after they compete, thanking the country and vowing to do their best in the next competition. But Fu broke with tradition, showing her own happiness at her performance. One fan, Feng Zhu, told the BBC she liked Fu because she always said exactly what was on her mind. JingYing Li, a female entrepreneur in Sichuan province, said she heard about Fu from her friends. "Almost everyone is talking about her," she said. Ms Li said her colleagues had all been sharing videos and articles about Fu, but liked that she had a deep side to her too among the jokes. "I even checked her Weibo posts back to 2015. Although Fu seems to be a funny person on social media, she also had a tough time. And her experience encourages me to be strong when I am down." But it seems Fu is part of a generational change in attitude towards competing. Chinese athletes traditionally become big names if they win a gold medal. If they fail, they are nobody, and will not be remembered or known by audiences. In 2008, China gained 51 gold medals in Beijing Olympics leading to a peak in national excitement and joy. Gaochao Zhang, a London-based independent sports commentator, predicted that without any major upsets, China will secure a top three spot in the medal table this time around. But he said younger Chinese people were now just happy "enjoying the Olympic Games rather than expecting gold medals". And Fu's satisfaction with her bronze medal embodies exactly this new sentiment. More than 72 hours after explosions devastated parts of the city, search and rescue teams came across a mongrel puppy at the blast site. It is not known where the puppy came from or if it had an owner. But Chinese soldiers who examined the dog said it was "miraculously unscathed". It is not clear whether the dog survived the explosions or wandered into the area after the blasts, but the images provided a rare glimmer of good news for Chinese netizens. "It's a miracle that the puppy managed to survive such horrific blasts. I hope it will find a good home," said Weibo user Zun Bao. Another user shared the puppy's story on his micro-blogging account and said: "This is Shenghua [which translates to 'Biochemistry' in Chinese] - he was rescued by a chemical specialist team in Tianjin. The puppy wouldn't even leave its rescuers, such loyalty." Shenghua's heart-warming rescue story attracted tens of thousands of comments and likes on Weibo, Facebook and Wechat. "We have been reading so many stories of death and loss, especially our young firefighters. So I am glad to hear how a tiny puppy has become a story of strength and kindness in China today," said Weibo user Yang Yi Chang. "This is more than just any old animal story - Reading it among all the doom and gloom of Tianjin [coverage] literally lifted my spirits," remarked another. Other users agreed and some even began expressing their hopes that Shenghua would find a new home. Shenghua is still with rescue workers at the blast site. Ceyda Sungur, an academic at Istanbul's Technical University, had gone to Gezi Park to defend it against a controversial redevelopment project to concrete over one of the last green spaces in the city. When Ms Sungur arrived, she found herself in front of a line of riot police. One of them bent down and fired tear gas at her, leaving her gasping for breath. Reuters photographer Osman Orsal captured the moment, and the images soon went viral on social media, in cartoons and as stickers and posters used by other protesters. In the city of Izmir, her picture has even been transformed into a giant billboard. Sympathisers can put their head through a hole where Ms Sungur's face should be, and pose for photos. The images make good publicity for critics of the government. In her demure red dress and necklace, carrying a small shoulder bag, Ms Sungur looks more like she's going to a summer fete than a violent protest - adding weight to the demonstrators' argument that the police were too heavy-handed. The pictures also call into question Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement that the protesters were extremists "living arm in arm with terrorism". Ms Sungur told Turkish media she was a "reluctant figurehead", and just a tiny part of a huge grassroots movement to save Gezi Park. "A lot of people no different from me were out protecting the park, defending their rights, defending democracy," she said. "They also got gassed." But whether she likes it or not, Ceyda Sungur may find herself forever known as the "lady in the red dress", the iconic image of these Turkish protests. Nick Palmer, 37, collapsed at the finish line of the Southend half marathon in June 2014. His son, George, seven, sounded the klaxon to set more than 2,000 runners on their way in Shoeburyness on Sunday. Parents Alan and Linda Palmer said their son had a "passion for running" and the event was a "fitting tribute". "This past year we have been overwhelmed with the kind messages of support from Nick's friends, family, running club colleagues and the local community - it has meant a great deal to us," they said. Mr Palmer's family raised more than £10,000 in his memory, which was donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital, where George had received treatment. Mr and Mrs Palmer said this year's event was "emotional for all those who knew and loved Nick", but added it had been "wonderful to see everyone coming together to remember him in this way." Judy Grocott, Events Manager at Havens Hospices, said: "Following Nick's tragic death last year we wanted to remember him and honour his memory at this year's run." The event, which marked the 20th anniversary of the coastal run, raised money for Fair Havens and Little Havens hospices. The paid Accredited Community Safety Officers (ACSOs) deal with issues like littering, graffiti or confiscating alcohol. Funding was ended as part of Hampshire County Council's budget cuts. Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has opted to pay £500,000 to employ 12 officers for the next four years. The service, which was set up in 2004, cost Conservative-run Hampshire County Council £1.5m a year to maintain across the county. Leader Roy Perry said the service had been "patchy". "It was a luxury we enjoyed having and they did a good job. "But there was only 30 for a county the size of Hampshire so not many people would have actually noticed them." Basingstoke's council insisted the patrols had helped reduce anti-social behaviour in the borough by 13% in the past year. Deputy leader Ranil Jayawardena said: "Often it's the case that a patrolling presence makes people feel safer and fear of crime is half the battle." The roles are separate to Police Community Support Officers who are unaffected by the changes. Developers behind the Circuit of Wales (CoW) included the loans from Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire councils as part of revised plans. It would also see the Welsh Government underwrite about half of the cost. A request to guarantee the entire project in Ebbw Vale was rejected by ministers earlier this year. The government is expected to set out its views on the latest proposal later this week. But Monmouthshire council leader Peter Fox said: "With regards to the £90m local authority borrowing we need to bear in mind that this is what Circuit of Wales has put forward as part of its revised proposal. "It is not something that local authorities have agreed or backed. "Local authorities have simply offered their views on the proposal to Welsh Government who in turn have taken their own advice ahead of an announcement on Wednesday." CoW chief executive Martin Whitaker earlier told BBC Wales the project was a "fantastic opportunity for Wales". Of the councils' involvement, he said: "At the end of the day, the two councils are the ones who benefit the most. "This is a project which is going to deliver a massive amount of not only opportunity, but clearly jobs and benefit to the region." Mr Whitaker added it was "decision time" for the Welsh Government and he had "confidence" the project would be given the green light. Economy Secretary Ken Skates is expected to deliver his verdict on the new proposals on Wednesday. A government official added: "In April it was decided that it would be an unacceptable risk to underwrite the entire £357.4m investment for the project, but we stressed our door remained open if sufficient private investment could be secured." Meanwhile, shadow Economy Secretary Russell George also called on the Welsh Government to make a decision. "The Circuit of Wales could create thousands of jobs and attract three quarters of a million visitors to the region each year. It's a fantastic opportunity for Wales," he said. Track replacement is taking place in the Newcraighall area over three Sundays - 4, 11 and 18 June. Journey times on the line will be extended and buses will replace trains between Edinburgh and Gorebridge. Rail services will run as normal on the rest of the line. Customers have been advised to check train times on the ScotRail app or website. A ScotRail Alliance spokesperson said: "We appreciate our customers' patience while we undertake these vital works." Maradona used his hand to score against England in Argentina's 2-1 win in the World Cup quarter-finals 31 years ago. "Obviously I think about it whenever I show my support for the use of technology," Maradona told Fifa.com. "I thought about it and, sure, that goal wouldn't have stood." Maradona admitted he benefited from the lack of technology at a World Cup not once, but twice. "I'll tell you something else - at the 1990 World Cup I used my hand to clear the ball off the line [in a group game] against the Soviet Union," he said. "We were lucky because the referee didn't see it. You couldn't use technology back then, but it's a different story today." The 56-year-old added Geoff Hurst's controversial goal for England in the 1966 World Cup final would also have been ruled out had VARs been available. "England won the World Cup in '66 with a shot that didn't go over the line," he said. "There have been lots of incidents where World Cup history would have been different if technology had been used. It's time to change all that." World governing body Fifa has tested VARs at several tournaments in the run up to next year's World Cup in Russia, where the technology will be used. The system provides referees with the ability to use video to make rulings on goals, penalty decisions, direct red cards and cases of mistaken identity. Its use at the recent Confederations Cup was met with a mixed reception, with several contentious moments drawing criticism from some players and pundits. Fifa president Gianni Infantino described the system's use at the Confederations Cup as a "great success", but conceded work was needed on "the details" such as the speed of decisions. "People used to say that we'd waste a lot of time, that it would cause a lot of annoyance. But that's not the case," added Maradona, who coaches Al-Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. "Football can't fall behind. Given the rate at which technology is advancing and the fact that every sport uses it, how can we not think about using it in football?" Next Tuesday he is due to meet President Donald Trump, who has vowed to build a southern border wall to keep out migrants from Latin America. "The solution is dialogue and negotiation. Not confrontation nor submission," he said. Mr Pena Nieto said Mexico would work to keep a trade deal Mr Trump criticised. The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), signed by Mexico, Canada and the United States, came into force in 1994. Mr Trump promised during the electoral campaign to renegotiate its terms. Mr Pena Nieto said Mr Trump's victory was forcing Mexico to redefine its relationship with its northern neighbour. "It's clear that the US has a new vision for its foreign policy," he said in a speech in which he outlined his new foreign policy goals. "Mexico has to act to defend its national interests." He said Mexico would get closer to Brazil, Argentina and other Latin American countries. He also announced plans to conclude free trade negotiations with the European Union and said Mexico was "ready to begin negotiations with Britain" when it formally leaves the EU. Mexican and US government officials are this week beginning negotiations to redefine relations between the two countries. During the electoral campaign, Mr Trump promised to build a wall on the border to control immigration and drug trafficking. In his rallies, he repeatedly said that Mexico would pay for the wall. Mr Pena Nieto said Mexico "does not believe in walls, but in bridges". "Mexico is in a privileged position between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. It is a natural bridge for trade with other regions," he added. He said the number of Mexican citizens crossing the border with the US had dropped sharply in recent years. Most illegal migrants entering the US via Mexico now come from other countries, in particular from Central America. The Mexican president listed 10 goals Mexico will seek in the negotiations, including a commitment by the US to respect the legal rights of Mexican citizens and safeguarding the free flow of remittances, which amount to about $25bn (£20bn) per year. Mr Pena Nieto also outlined the five principles that will guide his country during the talks: Correction 24 January 2017: This article mistakenly gave the figure for the remittances sent to Mexico from the US as $4bn when it is about $25bn. The European Commission's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has suggested that any deal will need to be concluded within 18 months rather than two years. That is to leave enough time for the UK, the 27 other EU countries and the European Parliament to approve the Brexit plan. The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, said that would be "ample time" to sort the terms of the UK's departure. In his first news conference since taking on his new role, Mr Barnier said the negotiations would be "legally complex". Having different arrangements for different parts of the UK would obviously add to that complexity. Mr Barnier has said the EU will do its "utmost" to tackle the issues Brexit raises in Northern Ireland, which will have the UK's only land frontier with the EU. But the European Commission will not speculate on what may or may not be possible for Scotland. It regards that as an internal matter for the UK to resolve ahead of Brexit negotiations. Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, wants to keep Scotland in the European single market, even if the rest of the UK is leaving. The chancellor, Philip Hammond, appeared to rule out such a special arrangement on a visit to Edinburgh last week. It was "not a realistic prospect" he said. The Scottish government has said it will publish proposals to maintain Scotland's EU links by the end of the year. One option Ms Sturgeon has said is being looked at is the so-called Norway model. Norway is in the European Economic Area as a member of the European Free Trade Association, which under current rules can only be joined by independent states. Any special arrangement for Scotland would require UK and EU backing. The UK seems very unlikely to go down this route and the EU is very clear that it will only negotiate with the UK government. In other words, it will discuss what the UK brings to the table. However, BBC Scotland understands that Michel Barnier will be happy to meet other interested parties once the talks get under way. That potentially includes the Scottish government. Separately, it appears the SNP's international affairs spokesman, Alex Salmond, has asked to see Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels ahead of December's EU summit. President Juncker appointed Michel Barnier as the European Commission's chief Brexit negotiator in July - a month after the UK's referendum vote to leave the EU. At the time, he said he "wanted an experienced politician for this difficult job". A former French foreign minister and MEP, Mr Barnier also reformed the banking system as European Commissioner for the Internal Market and Financial Services. He has a reputation as a tough negotiator. Since taking up his current role on 1 October, Mr Barnier has shuttled between European capitals consulting EU member governments. He has also held an initial courtesy meeting with the UK Brexit secretary, David Davis. Mr Barnier has denied reports that he intended to conduct negotiations in French. On social media he said that he worked as often in English as in French and that the "linguistic regime" would need to be agreed between both sides. The formal negotiations will only begin when the UK triggers the exit process under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. Theresa May intends to do that by the end of March 2017. The UK Supreme Court must first decide if she has the power to start the process without parliament's approval. The Scottish government is among those represented in the case. It wants the UK to seek the consent of the devolved administrations for Brexit legislation. This would not give Holyrood a veto because any objections could be overruled by Westminster. That would cause a clash between the governments in Edinburgh and London. The former first minister, Alex Salmond said this would amount to a "constitutional crisis" that would be to Scotland's advantage. The Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, has warned against an "unnecessarily divisive Brexit" and has previously urged the SNP not to pursue a second independence referendum. The Scottish government is consulting on a draft referendum bill to keep the option of another vote on independence open. Ms Sturgeon has said she would seek the explicit legal authority to hold the vote from the UK government, if she wants to go ahead. Opinion polls suggest there has been little change in the overall level of support for independence since the 2014 referendum which the "no" side won 55% - 45%. The Scottish Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, is due to give a speech on Wednesday outlining plans for a more powerful Scottish Parliament within the UK following the Brexit vote.

Proposals that would see groups of up to half a dozen schools under one head have been criticised for a lack of consultation for parents. Plans for five clusters have been approved by councillors. Two others involving feeder schools to academies in Farr, Sutherland, and Mallaig have been deferred. The Mallaig set up involves the clustering of eight feeder schools. Further consultation is to be done on a cluster involving Kinlochbervie High School. Approved at a meeting of the council's education committee were the creation of clusters of feeder schools to six secondary schools - Dornoch, Kilchuimen, Lochaber in Fort William, Plockton and Millburn in Inverness. Education chief Jim Stephen said the move was not about saving money, but about enhancing pupils' education. The local authority has had issues recruiting head teachers to some schools. Critics of the plans include Kate Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, who said there has been a lack of public consultation. Charlotte Foster, from Telford, died in January after a thrombosis caused a "massive" embolism in her lungs. A GP who saw her three weeks before noted no signs of thrombosis. Miss Foster's mother told the coroner the GP thought the problem was "mechanical" and recommended a massage. The 23 year old died in hospital three days after collapsing at her workplace. Celia Foster told the inquest at Shropshire Coroner's Court, her daughter had heart palpitations and had messaged her family on New Year's Eve to say her ribs hurt and that she could not lie down or breathe properly. She said she accompanied her daughter to an appointment with GP Sunil Simon at his practice in Newport on 4 January. She said her daughter was angry after the consultation, as he "did not seem to listen to her" and suggested she go for a massage or a spa day, despite her complaining of leg and back pain and tightness in her chest. In his evidence to the hearing, Dr Simon said he had "no concerns" during the appointment that Miss Foster had been suffering from a pulmonary embolism. "When I observed Miss Foster during that day, I did not note any signs of respiratory distress or shortness of breath. She did not display any signs of a pulmonary embolism of a deep vein thrombosis," he said. Miss Foster went into cardiac arrest at work and died at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital on 25 January. She had been given a three-month prescription of Dianette as a contraceptive and to combat acne in August 2015, having advised her GP of a family history of pulmonary embolism and breast cancer. She then returned to see a different GP at her surgery in Newport in October and was given a continuing prescription for the drug, having reported no side effects. Dr Nigel Tuft, a consultant at the Princess Royal Hospital, told the hearing that CT scans had shown she was not suffering from any tumours likely to have caused the pulmonary embolism. He said he had multiple discussions with her family following her death, and had concluded her only risk factor was that she was taking the oral contraceptive. Dr Tuft told the inquest: "The most likely site for the pulmonary embolism to arise is in the veins of the pelvis and the upper leg. These can cause no symptoms whatsoever or they can cause symptoms or deep vein thrombosis." Shropshire coroner, John Ellery, is due to return his conclusion on Miss Foster's death next week. Another saw Rollins, 25, miss a test to attend 'Brianna Rollins Day' in September in her hometown in Florida. Rollins, who won 100m hurdles gold in Rio, is banned until 18 December. She will therefore miss the World Championships in London in August. "This is one of the most difficult times in my career, especially after having such a great 2016 season," Rollins said in a statement on Instagram. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) says Rollins failed to properly file her whereabouts information for drug testers. Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, athletes cannot miss three tests in a 12-month period. Rollins missed one in April 2016, as she was travelling, and two in September - one when she was visiting the White House and the other when she returned to Florida. Usada says her results from 27 September - the date of her third whereabouts failure - will be disqualified, meaning the world champion will be allowed to keep the Olympic medal she won in August. "This is a difficult case because it involves the imposition of a serious penalty on a brilliant athlete who is not charged or suspected of using banned substances of any kind," Usada said in the ruling. Mr Galloway's former parliamentary assistant Aisha Ali Khan reported him to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority earlier this year. She has alleged she was required to run personal errands for him. The former Bradford West MP said the claims were "news to me". Following an assessment of Ms Ali Khan's claims, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Aurthority (IPSA) compliance officer Peter Davis has passed the case to the Metropolitan Police. An IPSA spokesman said: "IPSA'S compliance officer has completed his assessment of the George Galloway complaint and has passed it on to the Metropolitan Police Service." Mr Galloway lost his Bradford West seat at the General Election earlier this month. Ms Ali Khan alleged that, during her six-month stint as his taxpayer-funded assistant in 2012, she was required to help plan Mr Galloway's wedding, shop for underwear, sort out his laundry, make his breakfast and work for the Viva Palestina charity. Her lawyers said this amounted to a breach of the requirement to use funds for parliamentary purposes. In a statement Mr Galloway said: "This is news to me. According to the media IPSA have had a complaint but they haven't informed me who has complained or exactly what the complaint is about. "And then, without even a call, an email or a letter, they appear to have handed it on to the Met and gone public about it. "If IPSA's compliance officer has completed some kind of investigation without asking for any response from the person complained about, or even letting him know who has complained and what the complaint is about, then that is surely a breach of natural justice, and undoubtedly inspired by Kafka. "When I know officially what this is all about I will respond more fully." The 2012 Olympic lightweight champion stopped Poland's Karina Kopinska in three rounds on her professional debut in London on Saturday. Taylor's second pro bout will be on the undercard of Briton Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence against American Eric Molina in Manchester. "I can't wait to fight in Manchester on 10 December," said the Irishwoman, 30. Swiss-based Obenauf, 30, beat Kopinska in her last contest in October and will be expected to provide Taylor with a stiffer challenge. The Brazilian's only defeat in her 10 professional contests came against recently crowned world featherweight champion Vissia Trovato last November. Ireland's Taylor, a five-time world and 2012 Olympic champion, was simply in a different class to her Polish opponent in Saturday's contest. Eleven-time champions Real are aiming to become the first team since AC Milan in 1989 and 1990 to retain the trophy. Italian side Juventus are looking to win the crown for the third time, while Real can extend their own record. "We never dreamed of this opportunity but the stats are there," said Spain international defender Ramos. "It is a wonderful chance to take the cup home, then history speaks for itself. We are extremely excited about the chance to have two successive Champions League trophies. "We have been very solid. Every time we have had the chance to fight for a trophy, we have done that. We are going to be extremely focused, very concentrated so we make as few mistakes as possible." Real Madrid won La Liga ahead of Barcelona this season and have scored 169 goals in all competitions this season. In a repeat of the 1998 final, which the Spaniards won 1-0 in Amsterdam, Real come up against a side who are unbeaten in this season's competition Boss Zinedine Zidane, who played for opponents Juventus between 1996 and 2001, said: "We know all about pressure at Real Madrid. "We are not favourites, nor are Juventus. It is 50-50. But we are in the final again, and everything is possible. I expect an open game on both sides. "I have lived and been at Juventus, in Italy there is the famous Catenaccio, but Juve do not just have that. "We are going to try to play our game, we know we are going to play against a great team. What everyone who likes football wants to see is to see a great final - and I think we will see that." Zidane must decide whether to choose between Gareth Bale and Isco in what seems like his only selection issue before Saturday's Champions League final. Bale has not played since 23 April but is fit, while in-form Isco has scored five goals in his last eight games. "I am not going to tell you who is going to play on Saturday," said Zidane. Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri also has a fully-fit squad to choose from. His side defeated Monaco 4-1 on aggregate to reach their second final in three seasons. Real knocked out city rivals Atletico with a 4-2 aggregate win and are looking to defend the title they won last year. Treble-chasing Juventus clinched a record sixth consecutive Serie A title this season and beat Lazio in the Italian Cup. Juve have been European Cup winners twice, in 1985 and the last in 1996, but have been defeated finalists on six occasions, most recently against Barcelona two years ago. They have conceded just three goals in 12 games so far, while Real have scored in every single one of their 12 games - a total of 32 goals. Manager Allegri said: "We have worked hard all year and the wins this season have been all about reaching this game. But on Saturday we need to win and we need to understand when will be the moments to attack and when to defend. "We have to have the belief that we can bring the cup home and we have to be fiendish to strike when Real offer us an opening." Former Juventus full-back Gianluca Zambrotta told BBC World Service: Massimiliano Allegri has done a great job at Juventus and has continued the work of Antonio Conte since arriving in Turin in 2014. He has been able to create a strong team spirit and is currently one of the best managers in Europe. I had the privilege of playing alongside Zinedine Zidane in Italy for two years. He was a fantastic player with amazing technical skills and a strong personality. I was his room mate in hotels before games so I had an opportunity to know him very well. I expected him to be a great manager because he has all the skills to do the job. I did not expect him to achieve great results so soon though. He has been doing an excellent job for Real Madrid. Juventus full-back Dani Alves, 34, could win the competition for the fourth time, while 39-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is looking to triumph for the first time and in turn become the oldest winner of the tournament. Alves, who played in that match for the La Liga side, said: "A player as important and big as Gigi, to not have this trophy, it would not really change much in his career but it would add one more page to his wonderful football history if he won. To win the title with him would be quite something for me before he retires. "I am not a person who thinks about himself. If everything around me is fine, then I am fine too. The objective is for the whole team to win and for me to be up to the level of my colleagues." Media playback is not supported on this device World Cup winner Buffon announced in January 2016 that he will retire from football after the 2018 World Cup and this may be his last shot at winning Europe's elite club competition. He said: "Dani is a bit like me, he is an optimist. He told me 'I will make you win the Champions League' and he has been a revelation for me. Real Madrid are used to winning finals, we have lost quite a number of them. It is a good match and we will try to overturn our record. "The emotions I might feel may be different to a younger player. Dani has won this competition and has four or five years left in his career but I have to exclude this possibility. Yes, it will be much more special for me, but I want to play without regrets and without thinking of these issues." Italian football might have looked very different over the last two decades if an impressionable 12-year-old had not been captivated by the Cameroon goalkeeper at the 1990 World Cup. Buffon played as an attacker back then but the performances of Thomas N'Kono - playing in his third World Cup - inspired him to try life as a goalkeeper. Read the full piece The award-winning British actress will take part in a special Shakespeare episode, marking the 400th anniversary of the death of the playwright. Alongside John Craven, Dame Judi filmed a report in which she followed in the footsteps of Shakespeare's touring players, The King's Men, who travelled the countryside performing his plays. "I'm a huge fan of Countryfile. It was lovely to be part of it," she said. "It was wonderful to learn that Shakespeare had toured with his company." Dame Judi made her professional debut as Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet. For the special programme, she and Craven embarked on a journey by foot and by boat to discover where Shakespeare may have performed, looking into documents from the time. "In my long career few things have topped the experience of standing in a 16th century hall where Shakespeare's touring company once played and doing a bit of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet with Dame Judi Dench," Craven said. "She was a delightful companion as we traced the Bard's journey by foot and boat through rural Kent and her lifelong passion for Shakespeare's work really shone through. She's great fun, too." Countryfile's Shakespeare special airs on 24 April at 7pm on BBC One. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is planning to build a 38,000-capacity stadium at its existing west Belfast sports ground, Casement Park. A whistleblower, safety expert Paul Scott, claimed he was bullied when he raised concerns that the stadium could not be evacuated safely in emergencies. BBC News NI looks at the main players involved in the stalled sports project. There are three separate investigations: He is an expert in ground and crowd safety working at Sport NI. He chairs safety technical groups (STGs) including one on Casement Park. He said there were questions about emergency exits. Mr Scott said warnings had been sounded early in the process. However, the minister said she was shocked to hear them on 30 April when he addressed the CAL committee. The safety concerns had been outlined in a BBC Newsline report following a Freedom of Information request in November. Mr Scott was then called to speak to the committee at Stormont. He told them that he had been put under "undue pressure" to approve plans for the new ground by officials from the minister's department. He also said he had made a complaint of bullying against them. Mr Scott said he had been told that he was to be replaced. However, the department and the minister said that he remains chair of the STG. A draft discussion document proposing that someone from DCAL should lead the safety group was sent to Mr Scott the day before he appeared at Stormont. A Department spokesperson said the latest discussions around terms of reference for the safety technical group (STG)started last December and that these were drafted by DCAL with input from Sport NI. A spokesperson said the minister had commissioned an independent review and it would be "inappropriate to comment further ahead of the outcome". The STG is likely to meet soon. It is understood Mr Scott will be in the chair. It continues. Gaelic Athletic Association officials will probably appear before the CAL committee. They have already denied any involvement in bullying or that they would in any way jeopardise crowd safety. It is likely the design team will be considering the concerns raised by Mr Scott. The minister said she would be surprised if new proposals for the stadium do not include a reduced capacity. The GAA had wanted a 38,000-seater venue - the largest stadium in Northern Ireland. Some residents living close to the park objected to the scale of the project. Not all residents are opposed to the development but there have been local objections to the scale of the project. One group said 18,000 would be the maximum they would accept. No. The GAA's goal is to have a stadium capable of holding big championship games with up to 38,000 seats. St Tiernach's Park in Clones already has a capacity of around 36,000 so it is difficult to see how the GAA could justify holding a championship final in any Ulster ground that sells significantly fewer tickets. Emergency exiting concerns at Casement centre on the fact that most spectators leave the ground towards the Andersonstown Road in west Belfast. The question posed by STG members was what happens if the road is closed or blocked as a crowd tries to leave? The GAA is confident it has a top design team who will have the answer. The minister said safety has been a top priority throughout the process.. Almost £7m has already been spent and MLAs want assurances that money has not been wasted. In February, DCAL told the BBC: "The planning application cost approximately £82,000, with the process of appointing a contractor being approximately £295,000". Questions also remain about how Mr Scott was treated as well as DCAL and Sport NI procedures. Those carrying out the various investigations have some busy months ahead. A line to the town has been suggested in the past but campaigners have said the latest comments are a boost. The inspector made the reccommendation in a report allowing an appeal for 116 homes on the potential route through Nuthall. Broxtowe Borough Council rejected the application because it found insufficient provision for a new line. Planning inspector Mrs K Ellison wrote in the report: "I consider that the potential extension to Kimberley should be regarded as both desirable and enjoying reasonable prospects of being brought forward." She added that there was enough room for a tram to travel along residential streets in the development, known as Hempshill Hall. The Kimberley Eastwood and Nuthall Tram Action Group, has been campaigning for an extension from Phoenix Park since 2009. Chairman Andy Cooper said: "It's definitely a boost to the campaign. "But there are quite a few areas in Nottingham hoping for the next phase of the tram." The group is hoping to fund a feasibility study into the route this year. "This area is crying out for regeneration - it's a neglected area," said Mr Cooper. "Not only that it would cut down on traffic congestion - the Nuthall island on the A610 is a nightmare." Chris Deas, Nottingham Express Transit project director told the Nottingham Post: "We are pleased that the planning inspector recognises the need to safeguard the potential tram route towards Kimberley." But not everyone in the town supports the possible extension. Roy Plumb, who owns a hardware store, said it was more likely to take shoppers out to Nottingham. "Apart from improving the traffic situation, I can't see any benefits for the town," he said. A £500m tram extension to Chilwell and Clifton is set to be completed by the end of this year. Suggested future extension routes in the past have included to Toton, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Gedling. At Longleat safari park, scientists have collected eggs from southern white rhinos - a closely related sub species - to use for IVF. The eggs will help researchers to develop the technology to help the remaining northern whites to reproduce. A back-up plan is to mix eggs from the southern white rhinos with sperm from northern whites to create a hybrid. It means that if the bid to produce a pure northern white rhino fails, at least some of the critically endangered animal's genes will live on. Darren Beasley, head of animal operations at Longleat, added: "Effectively the female rhinos would act as IVF mothers, with embryos partly derived from northern white male sperm. "If the procedure works, the hope would be that southern white females would carry the developing embryos for up to 18 months before giving birth." Experimental fertility technology may be the last hope for northern white rhinos. The animals were once found across central Africa, but illegal poaching, fuelled by the demand for rhino horn, wiped out the wild population. Today, there are just three of the animals left: a male, who is over 40, and two younger females. The former zoo animals, which are inter-related, are kept under tight security at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. However, a combination of age and fertility problems means that none is able to breed. Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic, which owns the animals, has now enlisted the help of wildlife fertility experts from Germany and Italy. The team believes the northern white's cousin - the southern white rhino - could be the key to saving the species. Professor Thomas Hildebrandt, from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, Germany, said: "We are trying to find a solution for a very critical situation: we have a doomed species." They have been collecting eggs from female southern whites living in zoos around Europe. Longleat Safari Park is the first UK zoo to take part, and on Monday and Tuesday, the team managed to harvest nine eggs from three females. The rhinos have not mated naturally with the zoo's male, which is why they were put forward to take part in the study. Extracting the eggs required millimetre precision. Prof Hildebrand said: "We have a two-tonne animal, and the ovaries are more than two metres inside. "We operate on an ovary that is lying next to a blood vessel and if we poke that with our needle, there is a very high risk that the animal dies. "We have developed a very sophisticated technique to make sure we don't do any harm to the animals." The eggs have now been rushed back to the Avantea clinic in Italy, a lab that specialises in assisted reproduction in animals, where they will be prepared for fertilisation. A rhino has never been born through IVF before, and the first aim of the project is to refine the technology using southern white rhinos. So far the team has mixed southern white eggs with southern white sperm, and has achieved cell division in early embryos, which have been cryogenically frozen and stored. None have yet been implanted back into a a rhino. Later this year, the researchers plan to head to Kenya to harvest eggs from the last two female northern white rhinos. The scientists believe their extraction technique is now so well established it will not put these animals at any risk. These northern white eggs will be mixed with northern white sperm - and implanted in a surrogate southern white mother - in a bid to produce new offspring. The fertility scientists admit the chances of success may be slim - but they are optimistic that the technology could help. Prof Hildebrandt said: "The classical conservationists would not even call this a conservation approach, because it is so technical, so far beyond what you normally do. "But we hope future generations will understand that this is the way to go. It is a technology that allows us to bring a species back form the brink of extinction that would normally be impossible - and that is our goal. "We are extremely optimistic that we will achieve that." But the scientists also have a plan B: mixing the eggs they have collected from southern whites with sperm from northern whites. This would create a hybrid species. This would not be the first: a cross was born at a zoo in the 1970s after the two sub-species accidentally bred. But it was little studied. And despite the fact southern and northern white rhinos are very closely related, some questions remain, such as whether a hybrid could breed to produce further offspring. But with the northern white at such a critical conservation status, it could mean that at least some of its genetic material survives. Dr Robert Hermes, also from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, said: "Our great hope is to go to Africa to collect eggs from these last two northern white females and the fertilise them so we would have a pure bred northern white rhino embryo. "But the last northern whites could die any time: anything could happen to them, then all their genetics would be lost. If we have at least 50% of this preserved in a hybrid - we would preserve at least half for future generations." This rescue plan - which is also examining the role that stem cell technology could play in the future - is conservation science at its most extreme. And some wildlife experts believe that rather than pouring money and resources into a species that is nearly doomed, more effort should be put in saving more viable rhinos species, whose numbers have plummeted in recent years as poaching has surged. But Jan Stejskal, from Dvůr Králové Zoo, says that every effort should be made to save the last northern whites - and this could help other animals too. He told BBC News: "Rather than conservation, I call this a rescue operation. There is no other option for these animals to reproduce. "Of course, I have to admit we might not be successful. But on the other hand, we are gathering so much information that could be used for other species. "I'm convinced this is worth trying, even if we don't succeed." Follow Rebecca on Twitter. Maria Stubbings, of Chelmsford in Essex, was strangled with a dog lead in 2008 by Marc Chivers, who had already killed a previous girlfriend. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has criticised Essex Police for not protecting Ms Stubbings. Her brother Manuel Fernandez said he did not want her death to "be in vain". "In Maria's name we would like to try to force a public inquiry into the failings of Essex Police and police forces as a whole into domestic violence in the hope that we can actually gain some protection for victims and future victims," Mr Fernandez said. The family's call comes as a second IPCC report into Ms Stubbings' case is published. The first one had to be scrapped after inaccuracies were identified in 2011. Ms Stubbings, a 50-year-old mother of two, had started a relationship with Chivers in early 2008. She was unaware he had only recently returned to the UK after serving 15 years in jail in Germany for killing a previous partner. She learned about his murder conviction after he was charged with assaulting her. He received a four-month jail sentence in October 2008 but as he had already served time on remand was released almost immediately. By this time Essex Police had removed a panic alarm from Ms Stubbings' home. In its report, the IPCC says there was no assessment of the risk Chivers posed to Ms Stubbings or her teenage son. "No one visited Ms Stubbings to review the safety plan and no actions were taken to try to ensure her protection," the report says. On 11 December 2008, Ms Stubbings contacted Essex Police to report Chivers had burgled her home and taken her medication. There was further contact and a week later officers called at the house, where Chivers told them Ms Stubbings was not there. The officers looked in her bedroom but did not search the property. The next day the police returned and discovered Ms Stubbings' body in a downstairs toilet. Ms Stubbings' daughter, Celia Peachey, said: "I know that the police can't save every woman who's a victim of domestic violence but there were so many missed chances to save my mum. "She was crying out for help and was led to believe it was on its way. But it never materialised and she was left isolated and in fear of her life. "As for my little brother, we're lucky he's alive. He was in the house with our mum's body hidden under a pile of coats in a downstairs toilet, and our mum's killer, who was following him round in case he found her." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, she said her mother had been at high risk and Essex police knew Chivers was a convicted murderer. "The failings and errors by Essex police are monumental," she said. "Since my mother's death there has been more murders in the same jurisdiction and that's why we are calling for a public inquiry." Her brother, Bengi, who was 15 at the time of the killing, told BBC Radio 5 live that prior to the assault, he had not been aware of any issues between the couple. "Marc was like a friend to me. I never saw any signs of violence," he said. But after the assault and Chivers' spell in prison, he said the police showed "no sense of duty". "I find it hard to understand why they didn't protect me or my mum," he said. "They clearly knew there was a massive danger as he'd previously murdered in Germany and come here and done the same thing and assaulted her. "They failed to act and I find that disgusting." The family is asking the public to support their call for a public inquiry by signing an e-petition. Stephen Kavanagh, chief constable of Essex, told BBC Radio 5 live the true tragedy was "much of what took place was foreseeable". Three officers identified in the report as having failed in their duties had been subject to "management action", he said, and the force had taken on board the report's findings. "There is exactly as described a catalogue of errors both individual and organisational that let Ms Stubbings down at the moment she most needed the police. "But victims do need to know that we are continuing to change, call handling has changed, the way we use intelligence has changed, my commitment to work with other agencies so that women feel they can pull themselves out of those violent relationships is absolute." Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, Nick Alston, said domestic abuse was the only specific area of focus in his police and crime plan. "In Essex, over 80 domestic abuse incidents are reported to police every single day," he said. "Whilst there are individual examples of good and professional work, the police response to domestic abuse incidents both in Essex and across the country needs to be better than it was or currently is." He added that he would welcome any efforts to further develop a national best practice for police forces and partner agencies on tackling domestic abuse. Domestic violence charity Refuge has backed the call for the home secretary to launch a public inquiry. Chief executive Sandra Horley said there had been two other fatal domestic violence cases in Essex since Ms Stubbings was murdered. In 2011, Christine Chambers was murdered with her two-year-old daughter, Shania, and in the same year Jeanette Goodwin was stabbed to death by an ex-boyfriend. "Every week in this country two women are killed as a result of domestic violence," Ms Horley said. "That's two women too many." Chief Constable Carmel Napier from the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), said one man every 17 days was murdered by their current or former partner and the statistics for all domestic violence were "too high". "The police service has committed significant resources and taken action to try to reduce this number as well as protecting people who face abuse of any form at the hands of a partner or family member. "This has had a positive impact with a 65% increase in the volume of domestic abuse prosecutions from 2005/6 to 2011/12 and a corresponding 99% increase in the volume of defendants convicted." All agencies could still do more to protect people from domestic abuse, she added. Chivers was given a whole life sentence for Ms Stubbings' murder at Chelmsford Crown Court in December 2009. In creating a separate company that is made up of its stake in Alibaba, Yahoo will avoid a large tax bill. Yahoo also reported fourth-quarter earnings of $166m (??109m), a 52% decrease from a year earlier. The company said revenue from display advertising fell by 4% to $532m from a year earlier. However, investors were cheered by the company's decision to spin-off its Alibaba stake. Shares in Yahoo increased by more than 6% in trading after US markets closed. According to a release, Yahoo's remaining 384 million shares of Alibaba - worth about $40bn - will be owned by a newly registered company called SpinCo. SpinCo shares will then be given to existing Yahoo shareholders. By spinning-off the Alibaba shares into a separate company, Yahoo's chief executive Marissa Mayer will please investors - but also put renewed focus on her efforts to turn around the company. Since taking over in 2012, Ms Mayer has led a string of high-profile acquisitions - most notably that of blogging platform Tumblr - but the company has still struggled to find other streams of revenue as its primacy as a search destination declines. "I'm pleased to report that our performance in Q4 and in 2014 continues to show stability in our core business," she said in a statement. "Our mobile strategy and focus has transformed Yahoo and yielded significant results," she added, noting that the company's mobile ad revenue was $1.26bn in 2014. Separately, on Wednesday, a Chinese regulator accused Alibaba of not paying enough attention to illegal businesses conducted on its e-commerce websites and failing to take measures to eliminate issues such as the sale of fake goods. The report was based on a meeting between Alibaba and government regulators in July before the company's record breaking share flotation in September. Last month, Alibaba reported that it spent more than $160m (??103m) fighting fake goods on its websites between the beginning of 2013 and November 2014. It's returned without Chris Evans, who stepped down from the hit car show last year. American actor Matt LeBlanc has taken centre stage, with Chris Harris and Rory Reid. The trio went on a trip to Kazakhstan, where they had various challenges, and back here, they enjoyed a shiny new studio with celeb guest James McAvoy.

"The new series is terrible. It has none of the humour Clarkson, Hammond and May brought to it. The new line-up made it a car show with humour when it should be a comedy with car stuff.

Ben, 14, Glasgow Jasmine Rana presented a petition signed by 70,000 people calling on Prime Minister David Cameron to secure her father's return to the UK. Mohammed Asghar's family and solicitor met with a Foreign Office minister. Mr Asghar, who is said to be mentally ill, is in hospital after he was shot by a prison guard last month. He was arrested for writing letters claiming to be a prophet and convicted of blasphemy. Mr Asghar's relatives and their lawyer, Aamer Anwar, met with Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond earlier this week to discuss the situation. They hoped to discuss the case with Mr Cameron while in London, but instead met with Foreign Office Minister Tobias Ellwood. In a public statement, Ms Rana said that her father suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, diagnosed by UK doctors in 2010. She said that shortly after this diagnosis he travelled to Pakistan where he was arrested on blasphemy charges. Ms Rana said: "Despite the fact that Pakistani law says that mentally ill people cannot be given the death penalty, my dad was convicted and sentenced to death at the beginning of this year. "Ever since then we have been terrified for his safety and two weeks ago our worst fears came true when a police officer came into my dad's cell and shot him in the back. A second shot was also fired and missed." Ms Rana said that they had been working with the Scottish and UK governments to urge the Punjab authorities to acknowledge Mr Asghar's mental illness and ensure his safety, but that their request had not been taken seriously. She said that Punjab authorities were refusing to give them access to information about Mr Asghar's mental health and about "what really happened" in Adiala prison on the day he was shot. Her statement ended: "My dad has spent a very long four years in prison without proper treatment for his illness. His life remains at risk for as long as he is held in Pakistan. I have come to London today to ask the prime minister to intervene to bring dad back home. It must end now - he has suffered enough." Earlier this week, Mr Salmond offered the full support of the Scottish government in attempting to secure Mr Asghar's release. Speaking after Wednesday's meeting with Mr Salmond, Mr Anwar said: "We welcome the unconditional support of the Scottish government, the first minister and their repeated attempts to assist Mr Asghar and his family." He said they were "disappointed" that David Cameron had not responded to the request to meet with them when they handed in the petition. Pakistani authorities have attempted to return Mr Asghar, who is from Edinburgh, from hospital to the same prison where he was shot. Kate Higham, an investigator at Reprieve, described Mr Asghar as "seriously mentally ill". She said he should never have been sentenced and that he is "extremely vulnerable" in Pakistan. She said: "It's clear that the Pakistani authorities are unwilling to acknowledge his illness or allow his lawyers and family to support his case. David Cameron must intervene as an absolute priority to ensure that Mr Asghar is properly treated by the authorities, and ultimately allowed to return home." The Reprieve charity said that the authorities in Punjab province, where Mr Asghar is being held, have refused requests by his lawyers to access the results of an investigation into the shooting, as well as information relating to his medical assessments since the incident. Mr Asghar was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in Edinburgh's Royal Victoria Hospital shortly before his trip to Pakistan in 2010. He was arrested there for writing several letters claiming to be a prophet and was sentenced to death for blasphemy. Those accused of blasphemy in Pakistan are at high risk of attack from religious extremists. The LSE said the tie-up would be an "industry-defining combination" with substantial revenue and cost benefits. The talks, first announced on 23 February, are still "ongoing". It comes as the UK stock exchange company announced a 31% rise in adjusted pre-tax profits of £643.4m. Including one-off items, profit before tax from continuing operations was £336.1m last year, the LSE said. A merger with the German stock exchange would create a "group with global aspirations", said Xavier Rolet, the LSE chief executive. "The boards believe that the potential merger would represent a compelling opportunity for both companies to strengthen each other," the company said. LSE did not mention a potential rival bid from the owner of the New York Stock Exchange. On Tuesday, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), which owns the flagship US stock market, said it was considering making a takeover offer for the LSE. ICE has until 29 March to make or announce an offer, while Deutsche Boerse has until 22 March. Under the proposed "merger of equals", the LSE would own 45.6% of the combined group and Deutsche Boerse would hold the remaining 54.4%. Both companies said all their key businesses would continue to operate under their current brand names. The merged company would also have dual headquarters in London and Frankfurt. University of Salford student William Lound, 30, was found with multiple stab injuries inside a flat in Bramall Court, Cannon Street, on Monday. A post-mortem examination concluded Mr Lound, from Southport, died from stab wounds to the back and neck. Lee Arnold, 36, of no fixed address, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court. Michael Brown, from Herefordshire, said he was offered £1,850 for his prize-winning cow, even though he claims it is worth up to £15,000. The charbron formal is one of two of his herd to be culled after testing positive for the disease. Defra said it has a "clear and well-established" system in place for determining compensation. The system takes into account an animal's pedigree status, type, age and sex. But Mr Brown said it does not take into consideration the higher prices some cattle can reach. More updates on this and other stories in Herefordshire "It's tragic. Tragic to think they are going to go off at that stupid price when they're worth an awful lot more than money," he said. "How can they average everything with different breeds and quality when we are talking about probably the best cattle in the country - I hope anyway... "We can see prices for these cattle well into the £20,000's and bulls up to £100,000. "It's going to have a very serious impact." He said the charbron formal was one of the best cattle he had ever had. Mr Brown, who breeds pedigree Charolais cattle in Leominster, has bulls that are free of TB but he cannot move or sell them due to restrictions in place because of the testing. Almost 11,000 badgers were killed in 2016 as part of government plans to control the spread of bovine TB. Defra said England - which has the highest incidence of the disease in Europe - will apply for Officially TB-Free (OTF) status for half the country this year, two years earlier than planned. •Bovine TB is an infectious disease that mainly affects cattle •It also infects other animals, including the badger •Cattle with bovine TB are most often identified through testing using the tuberculin skin test before they develop obvious signs of the disease •This is because the disease usually progresses slowly and it can take some time for clinical signs to appear •When TB breaks out in a herd, affected cows are destroyed, and movement restrictions are placed on a farm •The English and Welsh governments estimate they have spent about £500m in the last decade on testing, compensation and research Jose Leonardo, 56, was accused of stabbing Maria Mbombo, 52, at their Belsize Park home on 18 May. The Old Bailey heard he had admitted killing Ms Mbombo but claimed it was manslaughter by "loss of control". Leonardo was found guilty of one count of murder but cleared of one charge of perverting the course of justice. The jury heard that on the afternoon of the murder, Leonardo had searched Google for "can I survive stab in the eye" and "most painful place to stab someone" on his mobile phone. Later that evening, the couple's 23-year-old son called emergency services to the house where he was found trying to resuscitate his mother on a bedroom floor. Prosecutor John Price said Ms Mbombo was found covered in blood and had been dead "for some while". "For all his statements of grief to the police officers at the hospital, the defendant, who will have been with her in their home whilst she slowly died, did nothing to summon help," Mr Price told the court. The 56-year-old will be sentenced on Tuesday. Driving test examiner Ian Walters, 51, was accused of driving off the M1 in Leicestershire at about 80mph to kill his wife Tracy. The Swindon couple were travelling home from a "make or break" holiday, Leicester Crown Court heard. Walters, who was badly injured in the crash, was given a life term and ordered to serve a minimum of 17 years. On the day of the crash, on 21 March 2014, the pair had been travelling home with their two dogs after cutting short a holiday in the Yorkshire Dales, the jury was told. Footage of four seconds before the crash showed the car travelling at 79mph, apparently with no obstructions in the road. Walters had claimed he remembered nothing of the 130-mile (209km) journey and told the court he loved his wife and did not want to kill her. The prosecution claimed he killed her after a series of rows caused by his unreasonable sexual demands. Walters admitted they had a "dramatic and adventurous" sex life but often argued because of poor communication. The court also heard how Mrs Walters had sent texts to her family during the journey saying her husband was in a "volatile" mood. Sentencing him, Judge Nicholas Dean QC, said: "Tracy was a warm and generous woman who, despite your treatment of her, loved you. "It was you and your unreasonable insatiable sexual demands that led to your toxic marriage. "When you deliberately drove off the motorway your intention was to kill Tracy. You knew you had lost your control over her and it was your way of demonstrating it was you who was in control. "You have demonstrated no remorse or regret. Indeed you seem to altogether lack compassion or empathy." In a statement, Mrs Walter's family said: "The hole that has been left by Tracy's murder is a void that can never be filled. Even our memories will be tainted because of the cowardly and devastating way in which we lost her. "We as a family are also the victims of domestic abuse, it destroys lives, it devastates families, it has robbed us of a future with Tracy." Walters had told the court he and his wife had generally had a "happy relationship". "[But it had been] punctuated with too many incidents of there being problems," he said. Jurors previously heard he had difficulty sleeping and had fallen asleep on two previous occasions while driving but nobody had been hurt. The court heard Walters had retrained as a driving examiner after taking redundancy from Barclays Bank, and met Mrs Walters in 2011. The pair, who both had children from previous relationships, moved in together within a few months and got married in Cyprus the following year. The hull of Shell's Prelude was floated in South Korea. When fully built, Prelude will be the largest floating facility ever created, weighing more than 600,000 tonnes. It would be used to help in the production of natural gas from 2017, Shell said, and would operate for 25 years off Australia's north-west coast. The area has a yearly cyclone season from November to April, but Prelude has been designed to withstand such conditions. It is hoped the facility will be able to produce enough gas to power a city the size of Hong Kong. Despite appearances, Prelude cannot strictly be described as a ship as it needs to be towed to its destination rather than travelling under its own power. Shell has not disclosed how much the vessel will cost, but industry analysts told Reuters that it would be likely to command a price of between $10.8bn and $12.6bn (£6.6bn - £7.7bn). Not content with Prelude's record-breaking size, Shell said it had already started work on an even bigger facility. The singer told Radio Times he had "never said this before", adding: "Should I be saying it now?" "A man tried to molest me when I was about four-years-old," Gibb explained. "He didn't touch me, but other things happened and happened to other kids. And eventually they came and arrested him, and woke me up during the night." He added: "Four years old and a policeman on your bed at four in the morning interviewing you. If that doesn't teach you about life, nothing does. But it's vivid for me still. I've never told anyone." Gibb was living with his family in the Isle of Man at the time. The singer was speaking ahead of his performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Sunday at 16:00 BST. He is following in the footsteps of the likes of Johnny Cash, James Brown and Dolly Parton in the legends slot. Last year he joined Coldplay, who were headlining Sunday night, performing renditions of To Love Somebody and Stayin' Alive.

The court heard of chaos and lack of supervision at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey, where Pte Cheryl James, 18, was found dead from a single bullet wound. One of the last people to see her alive described Deepcut as a "prison camp". WO1 Sarah Ditchfield, who trained with Pte James, admitted taking illegal drugs with recruits at a nightclub. She said Pte James had taken speed, a class B amphetamine. "If she went out she would take something," WO1 Ditchfield told Woking Coroner's Court. "We were 17-year-old kids who had money in our pockets. "There wasn't enough NCOs (non-commissioned officers) to control the amount of recruits they had." Pte James, from Llangollen in Denbighshire, was one of four recruits to die from bullet wounds at the base between 1995 and 2002. An initial inquest into her death in 1995 recorded an open verdict but that was overturned by the High Court, which ordered the new hearing. Who were the Deepcut four? Background to the deaths and timeline of events WO1 Ditchfield broke down in tears as she recalled hearing about her friend's death and said Pte James's boyfriend Paul Wilkinson was "in bits". She also told how Pte James had a second relationship with another recruit, James Carr-Minns. "[She] found herself in a situation where she didn't want to finish with one of them," said WO1 Ditchfield. A statement by Nicola Clifford - one of the last people to see Pte James alive - was read to the court. It said: "Her demeanour seemed fine and she was pleasant to me. "I would describe Deepcut as a prison camp where we were not allowed to have a life." Another former Deepcut recruit, Marina Fawcett, told the inquest Pte James was desperate to leave the Army and had "joked" about killing herself. "She literally mentioned 'we're going to shoot ourselves on guard duty one day aren't we?' and I said 'yes'," Ms Fawcett said. "She was saying it as general banter... I don't know why she said it, it just sounded like a laugh like when someone says something stupid." Ms Fawcett said one of the training sergeants "had a bit of a thing" for Pte James but she rejected his advances. "She said he was horrible," she said. "They [the senior officers] were on a power trip and they got a buzz off it." Pte James had been called a "slag" by fellow trainees, the inquest heard. Ms Fawcett said that on the morning of Pte James's death they had an argument about her love life. "I might have been winding her up but I knew in a couple of minutes she would be fine," she said. "That was the last time I seen her. She just seemed her normal self, she seemed fine." Heather Williams, who taught Pte James for five years, said her problems stemmed from the fact she was adopted. She told the inquest: "She was emotional about not knowing her true background and wanted to know where she belonged. "She had an antisocial attitude and was a tough nut to crack." "When I found out about her death I was shocked, but not surprised," she said. The inquest continues. Police patrols have been stepped up in Maesteg after two memorials were hit at the town's cemetery. They include a memorial to a man called Giovanni Carpanini who was one of 53 Welsh Italians to die in the Arandora Star prison ship in 1940. Insp Ross Crutcher said the "senseless vandalism" was caused by someone with "little regard for grieving families". Louise Carpanini said her husband Andrew's family memorial had been torn apart in the apparent collision. "It's terrible, I could have cried, to think of all the people there. It's been totally torn apart, it's even taken it down to the wire in the cement," she said. David James, who runs Marmor Memorials next to the site, said the vehicle responsible must also have been badly damaged. He said: "One [grave] was a full-length memorial made of Italian marble and is in one of the old sections of the cemetery. "It was one of my customer's family graves - it had to be struck by a heavy vehicle to do that type of damage." The cemetery gates are not locked at night and Bridgend council said that was to allow people with mobility issues easy access to the graves. A spokesman added: "It is not clear whether the damage occurred during the day or night, but the alternative to the current arrangements would be to keep the cemetery gates locked and only open them when funerals are taking place." South Wales Police are investigating. Sir Michael Fallon said about 30 soldiers would travel early next year to join the Nato Kosovo Force (Kfor) on a 12-month deployment. He said "significant security and stability challenges" remained in the western Balkans. Set up in 1999, Kfor is tasked with maintaining safety, security and freedom of movement in Kosovo. The British soldiers will be based in the Kosovan capital, Pristina, and support Kfor's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations. Sir Michael said: "Nato remains a cornerstone of our defence. By continuing to defend the security of Europe, Britain's security is strengthened at home." Read more Nato says that as the security situation in Kosovo has gradually improved, Kfor has become a "smaller and more flexible force". The force now comprises about 4,300 troops from 30 countries. A photograph of Daniel Warlow, 24, throwing a chair ahead of England's game against Russia on Saturday was shown at Birmingham Magistrates' Court. Warlow, of Spring Meadow, Tipton, will not be able to travel to any Birmingham City or England games in the UK. District Judge Shamim Qureshi said what happened was "quite disgraceful". He said Warlow, who must also surrender his passport ahead of international tournaments, can expect to be "vilified" for his actions. The court also heard he had been present on nine previous occasions when there had been disorder involving Birmingham City fans, although he had never been charged with any offence. Mr Qureshi commended PC Colin Barlow from the West Midlands football unit, who identified Warlow from a picture published on a British news website. He was arrested at his home in Tipton and admitted to officers the picture was of him. Mr Qureshi added that if he been arrested in France, Warlow would have been jailed for up to three months, and still have been given a banning order in Britain. He also urged the public to help the police identify anyone else involved in the violence at the football championships in France. After the hearing Warlow's solicitors, Football Law Associates, said arguing against the police's bid for a banning order "would be highly prejudicial" to him. It said: "[Not contesting the application] does not amount to an agreement that the contents are true and many allegations within the application are disputed." The three-day showcase is expected to draw in thousands of visitors and provide a major economic boost. This year's programme will include the addition of poet Skye Loneragan as writer-in-residence. She will travel the studio routes and draw on her meetings with visitors and artists to produce a suite of new work. It will be performed at the Wigtown Book Festival in the autumn. The Spring Fling runs from Saturday to Monday at locations throughout the region. The shop near the isle's pier was left open to visitors so they could use its wi-fi and replenish supplies, leaving the money in an honesty box. But when volunteers checked the shop over the weekend they found sweets, toiletries, batteries and six hand-knitted hats had been stolen. On Facebook, Isle of Canna Community Development Trust said it was "gutted". The trust has started locking the shop when it is not staffed. Police Scotland wants to speak to anyone who docked at the pier on Friday night. The National Trust for Scotland, which owns the island, said: "We were sorry to hear about this theft from the shop on Canna, which the community have worked hard to make a success. "Thankfully, incidents like this are extremely rare and Canna is a very safe place." Canna is the most westerly of an island group called the Small Isles. It is the biggest foreign deal since most economic sanctions against the country were lifted in 2016. Oil ministry officials said the deal to develop the South Pars gas field would be signed on Monday in Tehran, with Total getting a 50.1% stake. China's CNPC would hold a 30% stake and Iran's Petropars 19.9%. Total was planning to sign the contract several months ago, but decided to wait and see if the Trump administration in the US would re-impose sanctions on Tehran. What lifting Iran sanctions means for world markets The offshore field, which is shared between Iran and Qatar, was first developed in the 1990s. Total was one of the biggest investors in Iran before international sanctions were imposed in 2006 over suspicions the country was trying to develop nuclear arms. Last month Total's boss Patrick Pouyanne indicated the firm was ready to make an initial $1bn investment in Iran, the third largest producer in oil body Opec. The Most Reverend Justin Welby said it was an interim arrangement. Relations between Bishop Tim Dakin of Winchester and Jersey's Dean, the Very Reverend Bob Key, broke down over the handling of alleged abuse. Mr Key said it ended the 500-year-old relationship between Jersey and Winchester. The Bishop of Dover, the Right Reverend Trevor Willmott, will oversee the islands on behalf of Mr Welby. Mr Key said: "That might not be a bad thing for island parishioners. "Relationships sometimes reach a point where you need something fresh, new and different. "There is a tinge of sadness that 500 years of being looked after by Winchester has come to an end but we are where we are." In a statement the Archbishop of Canterbury said the interim arrangement had the full support of the Bishop of Winchester. He said it would be in place within a matter of weeks. The Bishop of Dover is a former Bishop of Basingstoke in the Diocese of Winchester, and has knowledge of the islands. Nicholas Anthony Churton, 67, was found dead at an address in Crescent Close, Wrexham, at 08:20 BST last Monday. An inquest into his death was opened and adjourned on Monday, with the provisional cause of death detailed. Jordan Davidson, 25, will appear before Mold Crown Court on Tuesday charged with murder, robbery, burglary and offences against police officers. It follows the governing Socialist Party's heavy defeat in last month's election. The result put an end to 16 years of government majorities in the single-chamber assembly. One government and three opposition members suspended because of alleged electoral irregularities were not allowed to take up their seats. But even without the three seats, it is believed that the opposition will have the critical two-thirds majority needed to challenge the government of President Nicolas Maduro, says the BBC's Daniel Pardo in Caracas. Fifty-four pro-government and 109 opposition assembly members were sworn in for a five-year term. Mr Maduro's supporters vowed to defend in parliament the left-wing programmes introduced by him and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez. "We took a beating in the elections. That will force us to change and to do things in a better way," said newly elected pro-government assembly member Hector Rodriguez. "But we will be here to defend the country and the Bolivarian (Socialist) Revolution," he added. Veteran opposition politician Henry Ramos Allup was voted Speaker of the National Assembly, replacing Diosdado Cabello. After the new members were sworn in, opposition members called for an amnesty for politicians detained during the Maduro government. Among them is prominent opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who was sentenced in September to 13 years and nine months in prison. He was found guilty of inciting violence during protests in 2014 in which 43 people - from both sides of the political divide - were killed. Mr Cabello lead a walk out by all pro-government members over "the violation of internal regulations". He accused Mr Ramos Allup of deliberately ignoring the rules, saying no debate should be allowed in the inaugural session of the assembly. Mr Cabello also criticised calls for an amnesty law: "It is ridiculous and absurd that the perpetrators forgive themselves. Only (General Augusto) Pinochet did that, in Chile". Government and opposition supporters gathered in different areas of Caracas as the inauguration ceremony unfolded. Security was beefed up outside the building because of fears of clashes. But there were no major incidents. They were due to meet for the vacant belt on Saturday 20 May at Ravenscraig Sports Centre in Motherwell. "I'm gutted for Gary because he had a real chance of becoming Scotland's first-ever British heavyweight champion," promoter Paul Graham said. "But we've been left with no choice other than to cancel the show." The event was also due to feature Connor Law, Eddie Doyle, Rhys Pagan, JP McGuiness, Leon Roberts and Martin Taylor. Parts of Italy, including the Lazio region around Rome, are suffering from drought. The water company that serves Rome is proposing cutting supplies for eight hours a day to 1.5 million residents. Water utility Acea blames a decision by officials to stop it taking supplies from a nearby lake. The authorities that run Lazio say levels in Lake Bracciano have fallen too low because of the drought and they fear an environmental disaster. Ms Lorenzin said: "An eventual suspension of the supply of water in Rome could seriously compromise the level of hygiene of all the accommodation structures, restaurants and public offices. "But above all, it could seriously compromise the provision of essential health services." Acea has criticised the decision to prevent the use of water from Lake Bracciano and said it had no choice but to introduce rationing. But the water company and the regional authorities say they will continue to try to find a solution. Italy has suffered its third-driest spring in 60 years, affecting two-thirds of farmland and costing Italian agriculture some €2bn ($2.3bn; £1.8bn). There have been two years of lower-than-average rainfall in Rome. So dire is the situation that the Vatican began shutting off its famous fountains on Tuesday. The set of 15 bells at St Mary Magdalene Church in Taunton swing unpredictably because of their height. All but one will be recast and set lower down the tower so they are easier to ring - with the new bells expected to be in place by October. The 300 year-old carillon has broken so this will also be replaced. The Bells of St Mary's project was launched in June 2012 with the aim of raising £300,000. So far £223,000 has been raised by various appeals. Rosemary Tuhey from the project said: "It's going to deliver something we can all be proud of as a town. "It all started because we'd been unable to teach on the bells because they are so difficult. "We realised that we were all getting on a bit and if we didn't do something soon there would be no bells ringing from that church at all." The bells will be be coming down in April after preparatory work is carried out. She added: "There's quite a lot of work to do getting off their wheels and their clappers, and getting the room ready and lowering the tower for them to go into and taking out all the old bits of carillon electrical work. "Once the bells come down, we're going to put up a webcam so that people in the town can see what's going on." The bell that is not being recast is the lightest, known as the treble bell. This is a memorial to four St Mary's ringers killed in World War One and will be put on display in the church. Bell ringer Mike Hansford said: "We certainly won't miss these bells because they are very untuneful, they're very difficult to ring. "Hopefully by the time we have re-hung them they will be a joy to ring." The bells were rung for a final time at 15:30 GMT.

The hosts took the lead when Kemar Roofe kept his cool to lift his shot over Preston keeper Chris Maxwell before Pablo Hernandez made it 2-0. Preston hit the woodwork when Tom Barkhuizen's shot struck the bar before Alex Baptiste saw red for a kick on Hernandez off the ball. Sub Souleymane Doukara finished well to seal the victory in the last minute. Garry Monk's side needed a positive result after a run of one win in five had seen them drop to fifth in the Championship, but they nearly found themselves a goal down inside the first two minutes when Rob Green produced a fine save from Barkhuizen's header. Leeds grew into the game and Roofe's third of the season put them in charge before leading scorer Chris Wood had a strike disallowed for offside and Hernandez squeezed a shot over the line for his fifth of the season. Wood hit the bar with a header from a corner before Barkhuizen should have made it 2-1 when he hit the woodwork after Aiden McGeady's initial effort had been parried by Green. Preston, who had gone into the game unbeaten in five games, dropped to six points off the play-offs, while Leeds remained fifth, five points clear of seventh-placed Fulham. Leeds manager Garry Monk: "It was really important to respond and we were determined to after back-to-back defeats away from home and that was the key. "The first five 10 minutes they had a couple of breakaways, which could have been more dangerous. But once we got to grips with it, for the next 50 or 60 minutes we played some really good football. "We created numerous chances and probably should have capitalised a bit more, but we were playing against a good side and they are in form. "They were never going to make it easy for us, but some of the football we played I thought was excellent." Preston boss Simon Grayson: "We started really well and had two great opportunities through Tom Barkhuizen. "But before you know it, we switch off and they got their noses in front. We weren't good enough defensively and that was the big aspect. "We created some good chances. We had good possession and played some decent stuff, but it mistakes at key times cost us. "If you do that against a strong team like Leeds they're going to punish you." Match ends, Leeds United 3, Preston North End 0. Second Half ends, Leeds United 3, Preston North End 0. Goal!

Jack Moran, 85, from Crosby believes a misunderstanding led to his eviction from the Royal Caribbean ship and is demanding an apology. He was celebrating his diamond wedding with his wife Anne and family in May when their cruise was cut short. Royal Caribbean said its first priority is "the best interests of guests." Mr Moran said he got wet paint on his hand and trousers after arriving in the cabin, as the balcony had been recently painted. After making several complaints, he told a member of the restaurant staff he wanted to "jump ship" at the next stop. When he returned, security staff and the second captain told the family the company's head office wanted him taken off as he was a "security risk." A security guard was stationed outside his cabin all night and regularly checked on him. Mr Moran said he believes his comments were misunderstood and the cruise company overreacted. "Cruises are a great holiday, it's just unfortunate that staff that were dealing with me misunderstood everything. It could have been so simple, everything could have been sorted out." The couple, their daughter and son-in-law and his mother, left the ship at Zeebrugge and made their way home to Merseyside after just 23-and-a-half hours on the cruise in May 2014. The group has been refunded the cost of the four-day holiday and the return trip home. They are hoping to receive an apology soon. A spokeswoman for Royal Caribbean Cruises said: "Our first priority is always to look after the best interests of our guests and crew. "We acknowledge Mr Moran's ongoing concerns and have contacted him to discuss these in more detail." It is a difficult decision as taking too little leads to the cancer coming back, while too much could lead to disability. The technique, called SRS microscopy, has been tried on more than 360 patients at the University of Michigan Medical School and Harvard University. The next stage is for it to be tested in full clinical trials. "Brain cancer is like a cloud, you can define the centre, but the edges are really hard to discern," says one of the researchers, Dr Daniel Orringer. In other cancers - such as in the bowel - doctors would just take some of the non-essential surrounding tissue as well. However, there is no non-essential tissue in the brain. Karen Wischmeyer, a pre-school teacher in Michigan, is the type of patient who could have have benefited from the technology. She needed two operations in quick succession to remove her brain tumour. Two years ago, she had a massive seizure in the middle of the night and doctors found a growth in her brain. But while surgeons removed some of the cancer, they did not get it all. Karen told BBC News: "It would have spared a lot of anxiety and anguish and pain. "I had two craniotomies [removing part of the skull], weeks of bad headaches, about four months total recovery time and I missed a lot of school." She still has regular scans to ensure there is no growing tumour left in her brain. At the moment, sections of brain tissue are taken to a lab to be frozen, stained with dyes and then analysed. The process can take 30-40 minutes. The technology, described in Nature Biomedical Engineering, sits in the operating theatre. It fires a beam of light at the tissue, and the laser-light's properties are changed depending on what it hits. The differing chemistry of a cancerous cell and normal brain tissue means the laser help surgeons find the outside edge of a tumour. No decisions were made with just the laser-technology while it was still being tested. Dr Orringer said the aim was to give "more efficient, safer and more accurate care". He told the BBC News website: "It was magical when we made that transition to the operating room. "It makes a huge difference, the process currently in place dates back to the 1800s, and we have something disruptive, in a good way, and the implications are pretty profound." He says one of the early lessons is "a lot of the times we think we're done operating we should probably keep going, with the microscope we have the capacity to see that". However, it is not yet clear whether the technology will increase survival rates. That will not be known until it has been used in long-term clinical trials. Follow James on Twitter. Isaac Mwangi denies wrongdoing but wants to leave his post for 21 days while world governing body the IAAF investigates the claims. The World Anti-Doping Agency said it was "most disturbed" by the claims. "The allegations have caused me a lot of mental anguish," Mwangi said in a letter to Athletics Kenya. "I am anxious to have my name cleared." Two suspended athletes claimed Mwangi had asked for money in exchange for more lenient punishments - allegations Mwangi said were "unsubstantiated". BBC Sport revealed last week that Kenya had missed a deadline to prove to Wada it was tackling cheating in athletics, following a string of positive drugs tests and corruption allegations. Media playback is not supported on this device It will be placed on a 'watch-list' of nations at risk of breaching the agency's code, and could then be declared non-compliant and ultimately banned from international competition - as has happened with Russia's athletes. The East African country, whose athletes are dominant in distance running, topped the medal table at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals. But since 2011, more than 40 of its athletes have failed drugs tests. Three other senior officials at Athletics Kenya were suspended last year by the IAAF while an investigation took place into allegations of "subversion" of the anti-doping process in Kenya and "improper diversion" of funds received from Nike. Vice-president David Okeyo, a council member for the IAAF, president Isaiah Kiplagat, and Joseph Kinyua, a former treasurer of the national association, all deny any wrongdoing. The 15-metre high ducky was designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman and has travelled the world, from Brazil to Taiwan. The duck will float in Toronto's waterfront as part of a festival celebrating Canada's 150th birthday. But the bill for the duck has some politicians squawking. The 13.6 tonne toy will make its grand debut at Redpath Waterfront Festival on 1 July, before travelling across the province as part of the Ontario 150 tour. But whimsy doesn't come cheap, and the Ontario government has chipped in C$121,000 ($90,000, £70,000) towards the Redpath Waterfront Festival, the government confirmed. It is unclear how much the duck itself cost, or what portion of government funding is going towards the duck. Ontario's Progressive Conservative leaders slammed the duck as a waste of taxpayers' dollars during question period on Monday, opining that government funding for the six-storey inflatable sculpture was "an absolute cluster duck" and "quack economics". Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel has also demanded to know what federal funding, if any, has gone towards the giant duck. Not everyone is a duck-hater. Ontario's Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Eleanor McMahon said the duck was "fun and sort of quirky". The duck was designed by Mr Hofman in 2007 and is billed as the largest duck in the world. "We are living on a planet, we are one family, and the global waters are our bathtub, so it joins people," he said. The invention, created by Prof David Lentink's research team, measures the force produced by every wing flap. The device, described in the Royal Society journal Interface, will enable researchers to carry out tests of miniature drones, to assess more precisely their flight performance. It has also answered a physics riddle. This question, Prof Lentink explained, is whether a container or a truck carrying birds changes in weight when the birds inside were flying. It was investigated in an episode of the US television show MythBusters; the presenters weighed a trailer while birds flew inside it, and concluded that it was no different to when the birds were still. This new device, however, is so precise, that it shows that this is not quite right; the weight of the container would actually change as the birds flapped their wings. The Stanford team explained that measurements taken from a single bird showed that hovering created "double the lift during the downstroke [of the wings] so that the birds did not have to lift their weight during the upstroke". "So, the weight of a truck containing just a few flying birds will fluctuate in time; only the lift of an incoherent flock of birds could cancel out [this change]," Prof Lentink summarised. He and his colleagues tested their new device by recording the tiny forces from a single bird flying inside the specially designed chamber. For their demonstration, the scientists trained two Pacific parrotlets (named Gaga and Ray) to fly from one perch to another inside the device. The birds would receive a food reward "and we get its aerodynamic forces in return", explained Prof Lentink. "The method is extremely fast and precise, which helps us measure the forces animals and drones generate to manoeuvre." By measuring these forces so accurately, Prof Lentink explained, researchers will be able to fine-tune miniature drones as they fly freely inside the chamber. MEPs, including European Parliament chief Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt say the proposal is a "damp squib". It offers Europeans in the UK fewer rights than Britons in the EU, they say in a joint letter to newspapers. Cabinet Office minister Damian Green said the "basic rights" of EU citizens living in the UK would be "preserved". He urged Mr Verhofstadt to "read our proposal", which the UK government insists would allow about three million EU citizens to stay on the same basis as now. EU migrants who had lived in the UK for five years would be granted access to health, education and other benefits. But the prime minister's proposals would be dependent on EU states guaranteeing Britons the same rights. The leaders of the four political groups who have signed the joint letter account for two-thirds of the votes in the European Parliament. Their letter points out that that they have the power to reject any Brexit deal before it can go ahead because the parliament must approve the withdrawal agreement. The leaders said they would not endorse anything that removed rights already acquired by citizens. They said the UK proposal "falls short" because it would take away rights citizens currently have, and create new red tape and uncertainty for millions of people. The letter said this contradicted promises made by the Leave campaign that EU citizens would be treated no less favourably after Brexit. By contrast, the letter said the EU's offer - already on the table - was simple, clear and fair because it promised that all citizens, including UK nationals living in Europe, would be treated equally and lose no current rights. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Verhofstadt said EU citizens in the UK - and Britons living on the continent - should keep their current rights, rather than the government "inventing a new status". What the UK is offering EU citizens? In full: Safeguarding the position of EU citizens What is the EU offering UK citizens? In full: EU's essential principles on citizens' rights "It creates a type of second class citizenship for European Citizens in the UK," he added. "We don't see why their rights should be diminished and that would be the case in the proposal. "In the end, it is the European Parliament that will say yes or no, and I can tell you it not will be a yes if the rights of European citizens - and also the rights of UK citizens living on the continent - will be diminished [and] cut off, like it is at the moment." The letter stated: "The European Parliament will reserve its right to reject any agreement that treats EU citizens, regardless of their nationality, less favourably than they are at present. "This is a question of the basic fundamental rights and values that are at the heart of the European project." It added: "In early 2019, MEPs will have a final say on the Brexit deal. We will work closely with the EU negotiator and the 27 member states to help steer negotiations." A spokesperson for the UK government said the letter contained a "number of inaccuracies" which could cause unnecessary and needless concern to UK and EU citizens. Mr Green, who as first secretary of state is a close ally of Theresa May's, told BBC Radio 4's Today that it was clear that EU citizens would have to comply with "basic" immigration rules after the UK leaves the EU to establish their identity and nationality. But he insisted: "That is not an insuperable barrier. We all fill in forms when we go on holiday and have to get visas and all that." He suggested the UK was doing "precisely" what the EU was calling for. "Somebody who is here now will keep the rights they already have and we hope that British citizens living in other EU countries will keep the rights they already have...the basic rights will be preserved so that should not be an obstacle to a final deal."

Police said they are investigating the circumstances and want to hear from witnesses. The motorway was closed between the Greencastle and Sandyknowes offslips, but has since reopened. A report says IS has subjected members of the religious group it has captured to the "most horrific of atrocities", killing or enslaving thousands. The group's aim is to completely erase the Yazidi way of life, it warns. The report says major powers should do more to help the Yazidis, at least 3,200 of whom are being held by IS. IS, a Sunni jihadist group, regards Yazidis as devil-worshippers who may be killed or enslaved with impunity. In August 2014, IS militants swept across north-western Iraq and rounded up thousands of Yazidis living in the Sinjar region, where the majority of the world's Yazidi population was based. Men and boys over the age of 12 were separated from women and girls and shot if they refused to convert "in order to destroy their identity as Yazidis", according to the report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria. Women and children often witnessed the killings before being forcibly transferred to locations in Iraq and later Syria, where the majority of the captives remain and are subjected to "almost unimaginable horrors", the report says. Thousands of women and girls, some as young as nine, were treated as "spoils of war" and openly sold in slave markets or handed over as "gifts" to IS militants. "Survivors who escaped from [IS] captivity in Syria describe how they endured brutal rapes, often on a daily basis, and were punished if they tried to escape with severe beatings, and sometimes gang rapes," said commissioner Vitit Muntarbhorn. Article II of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention says genocide means any of the following acts committed "with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such". They are: What is genocide? The commission also heard accounts of how some Yazidi women killed themselves to escape the abuse. Young children bought and held with their mothers are beaten by their owners, and subjected to the same poor living conditions, according to the report. Yazidi boys older than seven are forcibly removed from their mothers' care and transferred to IS camps, where they are indoctrinated and receive military training. One boy taken for training told the commission his IS commander had warned him: "Even if you see your father, if he is still Yazidi, you must kill him." "[IS] has made no secret of its intent to destroy the Yazidis of Sinjar, and that is one of the elements that allowed us to conclude their actions amount to genocide", said commissioner Carla Del Ponte. Warning that the genocide was "ongoing", commission chairman Paulo Pinheiro stressed that there must be no impunity for crimes of this nature. He repeated the commission's call for the UN Security Council to urgently refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC), or to establish an ad hoc tribunal to prosecute "the myriad violations" of international law during the five-year civil war in the country. The commission also called for international recognition of the genocide, and stated that more must be done to assure the protection of Yazidis in the Middle East. Four goals in the final 20 minutes had fans streaming out of Molineux, and Zenga was angry with the way his players performed after going 2-0 down. "At that moment, I saw something I never want to see again in my life. The players give up," he told BBC WM. "It is not acceptable. This is a big lesson also for me." Wolves' biggest home reverse since a 5-0 Premier League loss against Manchester United in March 2012, was their worst at second-tier level since a 6-0 defeat by Southampton in March 2007, when the visitors only had five shots on target, but also scored from an own goal. Although the goals came late for Barnsley, Wolves were comprehensively outplayed by a promoted side containing two of their former players, the impressive Adam Hammill and Sam Winnall. "In the first half, we played very bad," added Zenga. "We had a lot of players out of the game, which affected our performance. We changed something and tried to become more effective. But we were without fight. "I'm shocked at the result, at how we played, I'm shocked at everything. It is a shame for the fans, for the club. It is not a result Wolves want at home." Having cancelled the players' expected day off, Zenga's immediate response was to "analyse" the performance with his squad. Wolves now face successive away matches at Rafa Benitez's in-form Newcastle - on Saturday in the Championship, then next Tuesday night in the EFL Cup - as they look to end a run of one point from three matches. Wolves began the season with eight points from four games, largely with last season's squad, before Zenga started to rotate his players after a glut of August transfer window signings. Having made seven changes for Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Burton Albion, the manager made five more against Barnsley. The 23-year-old striker was one of two players brought in by the Alex on deadline day, along with Callum Cooke. But he has appeared for Scunthorpe and previous club Lincoln during the current campaign. Defender Bondz N'Gala's proposed move from Eastleigh to Gillingham fell apart on Thursday for similar reasons. Crewe are 19th in League Two, just four points clear of the relegation places ahead of Saturday's trip to Exeter.

Media playback is not supported on this device The departure of manager Remi Garde in March after 147 days in charge came after practically all hope had gone - and caretaker Eric Black's three defeats in his three matches in charge continued one of the worst Premier League seasons of all time. Their relegation after 34 games is the joint third-fastest - in terms of games played - since the top division was reduced to 20 teams two decades ago. Villa's demise is a shocking tale of mismanagement that is taking the club into the Championship with no guarantee of a swift return. When Garde was appointed to replace Tim Sherwood on 2 November, he came with a glowing reference in a rare public utterance from owner Randy Lerner. Lerner said: "Remi arrived with honesty, humour and a steely sense of what it will take for Aston Villa to be what it is meant to be - hard-working, tireless, creative and unwilling to concede." Hollow, almost ironic words after Garde left last month with only two wins and 12 defeats from 20 games, that 10% win ratio the lowest for any Villa manager who has been in charge for at least 15 games, even worse that the 18.4% for Alex McLeish, who won only seven of his 38 games. For all Lerner's supportive words, Garde can rightly point out the backing was not there when it mattered, namely when not a single player was signed in the January transfer window at a time of desperation as Villa's fate already looked sealed. Garde was hopeful of doing a deal for Seydou Doumbia, the CSKA Moscow striker who ended up on loan at Newcastle, and a move for Croatian goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic also failed to materialise. It sealed his fate. His spirit was soon sapped and his body language and rhetoric took on the air of a defeated man in the weeks before his exit. Whether Garde was given a fair chance is open to debate but it can be added to the list of ill-fated decisions by Villa's hierarchy. Villa's decline has been coming for years, although this season the pace has changed from a stroll towards the abyss into a Usain Bolt-style dash towards the drop. It can be traced to the shock walkout of manager Martin O'Neill just days before the start of the 2010-11 season. Since then, the club's story has been a tale of managerial instability, poor appointments and an unstoppable march towards the Championship. They finished ninth that season under Gerard Houllier but his reign was short-lived. He stepped down in June 2011 after only nine months as he needed time to recuperate from heart problems that had troubled him the previous season. Since then the graph makes grim reading. In the past four seasons Villa have finished 16th, 15th, 15th and 17th - if the danger signs were there they have not been heeded despite being written in large red numbers. The appointment, in June 2011, of Alex McLeish - the man who had taken fierce rivals Birmingham City into the Championship while winning the League Cup the previous season - was a PR disaster and was symptomatic of the erratic, sometimes inexplicable, decision-making under Lerner. The longevity - or lack of it - of the managers brought in by Lerner also shows the drift and decline at a club that has all the infrastructure to be a Premier League superpower, with a magnificent stadium perfectly situated right off the M6, rich history with a European Cup win in 1982 and a huge fan base in England's second city. Since O'Neill's departure after 152 Premier League games, Houllier lasted just 33, McLeish a full season of 38, Paul Lambert a relative lifetime of 101 before Tim Sherwood's tumultuous 23 matches, which at least included the sideline of an FA Cup final appearance last season, albeit a 4-0 thrashing by Arsenal. There has also been a talent drain away from Villa Park since the summer of 2009, although Villa have almost always received top dollar in exchange. Powerful statements, such as the £18m deal for Sunderland's Darren Bent in January 2011, have been rare, with most of the other heavy traffic travelling the other way. Gareth Barry left for Manchester City for £12m in June 2009 and was joined by James Milner in a £26m deal in August 2010. Ashley Young went to Manchester United for £17m in June 2011, while Stewart Downing went to Liverpool for £20m in July 2011. And only last summer, main goalscorer Christian Benteke joined Liverpool for £32.5m and captain Fabian Delph was another off - to Manchester City for £8m - mostly good business financially but not necessarily the actions of a club high on ambition. Ex-England manager Graham Taylor, a former Villa boss who continues to live in the area, told BBC Sport: "I am like a lot of the supporters - I can't believe what I'm watching. "I have never known it so low at Aston Villa. Both the club and its supporters are at such a low ebb. "Somewhere along the line the feeling around the club, with the owner wanting to sell and not being able to, has crept into the dressing room. It is like a slow death in football terms." Villa's American owner is a distant and disconnected figure, rarely seen at games and still searching for a buyer for the club after putting it on the market 20 months ago. He has become increasingly unpopular as Villa remain rudderless, that white flag of Premier League surrender effectively waved since the inaction and inertia of that January transfer window. Lerner has been shuffling Villa's boardroom around, inviting quips about deckchairs and the Titanic - and Villa fans will need to see hard evidence of progress before they regard it as anything else. West Midlands businessman Steve Hollis is now chairman, while former FA chairman David Bernstein and ex-Villa striker and manager Brian Little have joined a revamped board. Former governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King is also a director while former FA executive Adrian Bevington has been working with the club. Lerner's presence remains a problem, however, because he wants to sell, but the shortage of takers means he is stuck in a loveless marriage at a club for which he once had such high ambitions. Lerner agreed his purchase of the club from Sir Doug Ellis for £64m in August 2006 and estimates of his asking price range from between £150m to £200m, but there are no potential buyers in sight and relegation will surely drive away any big-money interest. "When you have owners who are looking to sell and the results on the pitch aren't going well, it leaves a distaste about things," added Taylor. "The owners at the moment haven't been able to sell and I don't think that they are going to get the money they're asking. Would a potential buyer risk a lot of money on a club in the Championship? I don't think so." So it seems, through thin and thin, Villa's fans and Lerner are currently stuck with each other. BBC Sport's Pat Murphy: "You didn't have to be a latter-day Nostradamus to see this coming. For the past six seasons Villa have lurched between five managers and two chief executives - directionless, with no defined strategy as the owner Randy Lerner become more and more detached from the club. "But make no mistake. Lerner still has the final say on funds until he finds a buyer. The revamped board and creation of a four-man football board is on that basis simply cosmetic. "Key decisions via the football board chairman David Bernstein will go to the club board chairman Steve Hollis, who then has to look across the Atlantic to be sanctioned. Unwieldy and time-consuming with the lifeblood of decision-making still coagulating. "Would traditional managers like David Moyes, Nigel Pearson, Mick McCarthy or Steve Bruce want to be bothered by all that complexity? All they'd want is to establish a direct line with the owner to get decisions made swiftly. The calibre of the next chief executive will be vital too. "The appointment of a new manager is the biggest decision to be made at Villa Park since Graham Taylor breezed in 29 years ago, making it clear to then-chairman Doug Ellis where the boundaries lay. It's asking an enormous amount of the new man to turn around the squad and playing philosophy inside a couple of months before grim reality sets in with the Championship slog. "This current group of underachievers would struggle in the 46-game season that starts this August. I would only keep Ciaran Clark (and make him captain), Ashley Westwood, Jordan Ayew, Idrissa Gana, Rudy Gestede, Jack Grealish - and bring along promising youngsters such as Jordan Lyden, Andre Green, Keinan Davis and Lewis Kinsella. "At least that lot would run around and look as if playing for Aston Villa meant everything to them. You couldn't say that about this current squad. "It's fantasy to assume a revamped Villa squad could challenge for the Championship title at such short notice. A period of sober, humble realism is long overdue at the club. Just stop the rot, then restore pride and stabilise the slump. And hope that Lerner at last sells up. "Villa need a constant visible presence there at the top - like a Peter Coates, Bill Kenwright or Jeremy Peace. Or - whisper it gently - a Doug Ellis of yesteryear." There is never a good season to get relegated - but with vast riches about to float into the Premier League as a result of a new TV rights deal next season, a departure now will be acutely painful in football and financial terms. The Premier League announced the new deal, worth a record £5.136bn, in February, a 71% rise on the last agreement. It means that even the club that finishes bottom of the Premier League in 2016-17 will pocket £99m and the champions will earn more than £150m, even before additional fees are paid to clubs that stage more TV matches than others. The vast majority of the Premier League clubs could break into the top 30 richest in the world as a result - Villa are going to miss out. Another version of this feature was published on 29 March after Remi Garde's departure. It followed sharp falls in China, where trading on the main stock markets was halted early after indexes tumbled 7%. A survey indicating China's manufacturing sector contracted again last month was blamed for the falls. Other Asian markets also fell, while in Europe, the FTSE 100 closed down 2.6% and Germany's Dax index dropped 4.3%. Meanwhile, news that Saudi Arabia had broken off diplomatic ties with Iran sent oil and gold prices higher. On Wall Street, all 10 major S&P sectors were lower, led by the 2.4% fall in the technology sector. Bank stocks were also hard hit, with Goldman Sachs down 3.2%. "Those are violent New Year fireworks," said Andre Bakhos, managing director at Janlyn Capital. "That's quite a way to start the day off." Earlier on Monday, trading on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges was halted for the first time under new "circuit breaker" rules, which are designed to curb market volatility. The share price falls came after more signs of trouble in the world's second-largest economy. The Caixin/Markit purchasing managers' index slipped to 48.2 in December, marking the 10th consecutive month of shrinking factory activity in the sector. A reading below 50 indicated contraction. Some analysts also attributed the decline in share prices to the imminent end of a six-month lockup period on share sales by major institutional investors, a policy implemented to shore up indexes. Big shareholders may start dumping shares once the ban is lifted on Friday. Huang Cengdong, an analyst for Sinolink Securities in Shanghai, said: "The market will not improve because there will be heavy selling in the near future." Monday's sell-off in China had a knock-on across the region. Japan's Nikkei 225 tumbled 3.1% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng retreated 2.6%. There's nothing like the herd mentality to get things started for the new year. Retail investors in the Chinese stock market are often driven by sentiment and tend to follow the crowd. When they hear of some bad news from brokers or their friends, and other people start selling, they start selling too. Falling prices attract more people to dump their stocks, and although shares are still above their lows, authorities will be keen to avoid the kind of share market crash we saw last summer. Read Karishma's full analysis here. "Welcome to 2016, though you'd be forgiven for thinking the markets were back in August 2015 with China causing some early New Year issues," said Spreadex analyst Connor Campbell. And Alastair McCaig, market analyst at IG, said: "Anyone hitting the trading floor expecting a calm and quiet start to 2016 was given a rude surprise as Asian chaos affected European markets." Markets were also rattled by growing tensions between Middle East powerhouses Saudi Arabia and Iran over the execution of Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr. The execution in Saudi Arabia led to protests in Tehran. Saudi has cut diplomatic ties with Iran and given diplomats 48 hours to leave. Iran's supreme leader has warned Saudi Arabia it would face "quick consequences" for the execution. Fearing further upheaval in the already volatile Middle East, the US has urged regional leaders to try to ease tensions. The price of Brent crude jumped more than 3% at the start of the day on the back of heightened tensions, but then fell back sharply after US stock markets opened. In late afternoon trading, Brent was down 1% at $36.96 a barrel, while US crude was down 1.4% at $36.52. Analysts said the underlying trend of oversupply would continue to weigh on prices over the longer term. "Unless we see a convincing drop in oil output from these two nations, and the broader oil-producing community, the supply glut issue will persist, which means oil prices would remain under pressure for a longer period," said Bernard Aw at IG Markets in Singapore. Oil prices are down by two-thirds since mid-2014, with analysts estimating that producers are pumping between 0.5 million and two million barrels of oil every day in excess of demand. Worries about the impact of Middle East tensions were underlined in the gold price, which rose more than 1% on Monday to $1,070.20 an ounce. Gold is frequently seen as an alternative investment during times of geopolitical and financial uncertainties. The gold price lost 10% last year. Another traditional haven is the Swiss franc, which gained about 0.8% against both the dollar and the euro in early trading on Monday. Earlier this year, football anti-discrimination group Fare documented over 100 incidents of racist and discriminatory behaviour linked to Russian football over two seasons. "There's no racism in Russia, because it does not exist," Smertin told the BBC's World Football programme. On Friday, Russia marks 1,000 days until the start of the World Cup. Smertin, an ambassador for his country's successful World Cup bid, claims that fans abuse players because of who they play for - not their skin colour. "It is something against the opposition, not against a person," said the former Chelsea and Portsmouth midfielder. Capped 55 times by Russia, Smertin said he did not think such incidents would arise should the 2018 hosts face a side featuring black players at the next World Cup. He claimed that racism was a recent import from overseas despite simultaneously explaining that incidents had happened in the past. Smertin went on to dismiss behaviour that many might consider racist as "fun". "Racism in Russia is like fashion. It comes from abroad, from different countries," he said. "It was never, ever here before. Ten years ago, some fans may have given a banana to black guys - it was just for fun. "I think the media is making the wrong image of Russia." Former Cameroon international Andre Bikey, who played in Russia from 2005 to 2006, took umbrage at Smertin's comments. "He says there is no racism in Russia. Racism is everywhere," said the former Lokomotiv Moscow defender. "It happened to me, it happened to my team-mates - we have to fight against it, especially with the World Cup going there in three years' time." Bikey carried a gun for his personal safety while in Russia, following an incident when he was physically attacked by "six or seven" people on the streets of Moscow. "It's not something I really like to talk about, and the last time a journalist called me to talk about it, I didn't," he told BBC Sport. "Speaking about it is not good for me, and not good for Russia. "At my club and with my team-mates, everything was OK but when you went to play another team, in a city where they've never seen a black player, it was a little bit difficult." Brazil international Hulk, who plays for Zenit St Petersburg, has said racism happens at "almost every game" in the Russian league and that it presents a genuine threat to the 2018 World Cup. "We quite naturally acknowledge the problem that clearly does not exist only in Russia, but many other countries," said 2018 World Cup chief executive officer Alexei Sorokin in response. In the first game of the Russian season, Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong earned a red card after reacting to what he said was racial abuse. The incident, one of several to affect the Russian game in recent years, is being investigated by Fifa. The all-party parliamentary group on refugees says people brought to the UK via resettlement schemes receive more support than those given refugee status after arriving as asylum seekers. It says the next government should create a minister for refugees to help level the playing field. Government officials point to a special migration fund set up last year. More than 50,000 refugees are said to have arrived in the UK through the asylum route since 2012, while government-led resettlement programmes, including from Syria, accounted for fewer than 10,000 people in the same period. After an asylum claim is granted, individuals have just 28 days before government support is withdrawn. This, the report says, is leading to "stress and despair" among newly-recognised refugees as they struggle to access housing and benefits. Those problems are made worse by: It says: "Those refugees who have come through the asylum route will have faced the same persecution and violence as those who are resettled. "That two refugees who could have fled from the same country, the same town, even the same neighbourhood could have such different experiences of what it means to be a refugee in the UK is unacceptable." In contrast, people who come to the UK under a resettlement package can expect: Local councils will also be paid £8,500 by the government for each refugee in their first year to go towards housing, healthcare and other costs. That figure tapers to £1,000 by the fifth year. The report said those levels of support - and an integration scheme run by the Scottish government - were examples of good practice that could be replicated for refugees more widely. A dedicated minister for refugees would be able to oversee the improvements needed, it added. The chairwoman of the all-party group, Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire, said: "Creating a two-tier system for refugees, loading the dice against people who come here to build a new life, is not just the wrong thing to do, but a costly missed opportunity for Britain." She said most refugees wanted to return home when conflict was over but wanted to contribute to this country in the meantime. "These are often skilled professionals and, by definition, they all have strength and determination to offer," she added. Conservative MP David Burrowes, the group's vice-chairman, said: "For too many refugees, being granted their status is the beginning of a period characterised by homelessness and destitution. "Protection must mean more than just a piece of paper." Stephen Hale, chief executive of the charity Refugee Action, called for all parties to commit to increased funding for English language courses for refugees. "This report is a timely wake-up call - the new government must seize the opportunity to enable all refugees in Britain, regardless of how they arrive, to successfully rebuild their lives." It also said it would start its quantitative easing programme, first announced in January, next week. Bank boss Mario Draghi said economic growth in the eurozone would strengthen slowly to reach 2.1% by 2017. He also said there would be low negative inflation in the months ahead before prices began to rise in late 2015, with 1.8% inflation in 2017. Earlier, the bank kept the eurozone's key interest rate unchanged at 0.05%, as expected. The ECB also confirmed the basis of its quantitative easing (QE) plans, first revealed in January. The scheme will inject at least €1.1 trillion (£834bn) into the eurozone economy by purchasing €60bn of assets a month from next week until September 2016, Mr Draghi added. "We will on 9 March 2015 start purchasing euro-dominated public sector securities in the secondary market," he said. "We will also continue to purchase asset-backed securities and covered bonds which we started last year." Economist Howard Archer, of IHS Global Insight, said the ECB had indicated that under its QE programme, no bonds would be bought where the yield was less than -0.20%, which is currently the ECB's deposit interest rate. "This effectively puts a floor under eurozone interest rates," he said. Mr Draghi said eurozone economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2014 had been higher than expected. The bloc grew by 0.3% in the quarter, helped by rapid growth in Germany. "The latest economic data and, particularly, survey evidence available up to February point to some further improvements in economic activity at the beginning of this year," he said. "Looking ahead, we expect the economic recovery to broaden and strengthen gradually." However, he said that high structural unemployment and low growth in certain parts of the eurozone meant there no "grounds for complacency". In a clear reference to Greece he added that structural reforms "needed to be implemented swiftly... and credibly". He also said Greece could not rely on the ECB to raise the limits on Athens' issuance of short-term debt, and that the rules also meant the ECB could not buy Greek bonds under its new asset-buying programme. "The ECB is a rule-based institution. It is not a political institution." he said. But he said the amount of Emergency Lending Assistance (ELA) available to Greek banks had been increased, adding that Greek banks were solvent and had capital levels above minimum requirements. The euro fell to an 11-year-low against the dollar of $1.1022, its lowest since September 2003, after Mr Draghi revealed which bond yields would meet ECB buying approval. He also said there may be a chance that the QE programme would continue beyond September 2016. The euro was down 0.25% against the pound at €0.7239. "When President Draghi revealed that there would be a cap on the QE program - the ECB would not buy bonds whose yields were below the interest rate corridor floor of -0.20% - the euro hit the skids," said Christopher Vecchio, currency analyst at Daily FX, The latest meeting of the bank's governing council took place in Nicosia in Cyprus, one of its twice-yearly meetings away from its German HQ in Frankfurt. Thousands of fans are set to descend on the city on 3 June for the final of football's biggest club competition. The UK government said the security was of "paramount importance" and awarded the grant to South Wales Police. Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said ministers were determined "that Wales, and the UK, are seen in the best possible light on the worldwide stage". He added: "The safety and security of the hundreds of thousands of people set to flood into the city and surrounding areas at this time is of paramount importance." The four poster, which it is suggested could be worth £20m, was left outside a hotel in Chester during a renovation before being collected by auctioneers. Ian Coulson bought the bed at auction for £2,200 after spotting it online. He then contacted TV historian Dr Jonathan Foyle who, following DNA testing, confirmed that the bed once belonged to the Pembroke-born monarch. Dr Foyle described the artefact as "a complete national treasure". He said: "It is specifically the marriage bed for Henry and Elizabeth." The ornately carved four poster is currently on display at Hever Castle in Kent. Its leader, Heinz Christian Strache, said the way postal votes were handled was among numerous irregularities. "We are not sore losers," he said. "This is about protecting the foundations of democracy." The party's candidate was defeated by the former Green Party leader by just under 31,000 votes. The filing of the challenge was confirmed by Christian Neuwirth, a spokesman for Austria's constitutional court. The court now has four weeks to respond. If it takes the full four weeks, its findings will come just two days before the poll winner, Alexander Van der Bellen, is due to be sworn in. Is Europe lurching to the far right? Europe's nationalist surge, country by country Is populism a threat to Europe's economies? The presidency is a largely ceremonial post, but a victory for the Freedom Party could have been a springboard for success in the next parliamentary elections, scheduled for 2018. Correspondents say the legal challenge threatens to renew divisions created by the vote, which split Austria and exposed, once again, deep differences in Europe over how to deal with the migrant crisis, the economy and how to balance national interests against those of the EU. Mr Van der Bellen was declared the winner of the election the day after voting, with 50.3% of the vote against Mr Hofer's 49.7% - despite preliminary results placing the Freedom Party's Norbert Hofer slightly ahead. But the Freedom Party is alleging numerous irregularities in its 150-page submission to the constitutional court. Mr Strache says he has filed evidence that postal ballots were illegally handled in 94 of 117 district election offices, reports said, suggesting that more than 570,000 ballots could have been affected by this. The party also claims it has evidence that under-16s and foreigners were allowed to vote. "The extent of irregularities is more than terrifying. That's why I feel obliged to challenge the result," Mr Strache told a news conference. "You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to have a bad gut feeling about this whole election. Without these irregularities Mr Hofer could have become president." The BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna says that if the constitutional court accepts the evidence presented by Mr Strache, there could be several possible outcomes, including a partial recount or a fresh vote in affected areas. But the court will have to decide whether the law was broken and whether any possible breaches would have affected the outcome of the election. Sarah Sands, 32, stabbed her 77-year-old neighbour Michael Pleasted eight times after finding out he had allegedly abused three boys. Sands was found guilty of manslaughter by reason of loss of control. Pleasted, who had previous convictions, was on bail awaiting trial when he was stabbed at his Canning Town flat. Sands had armed herself with a knife and carried out a "determined and sustained attack", the court heard. The jury was told the victim crawled from his living room and collapsed in his hallway where he bled to death. Within hours, Sands handed herself into the police and asked an officer why Pleasted had been housed on the estate saying: "He was, like, asking for trouble." The Old Bailey heard that before the allegations emerged, Pleasted had previously been convicted and served time for other child sex offences. At the time of his death Pleasted was awaiting trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on two charges of sexual assault against two children under the age of 13. Police were also investigating an allegation he had abused a third boy. Sands told the court she had not intended to hurt Pleasted when she went to his flat with a knife, claiming instead she wanted him to admit to his crimes so his young accusers would not have to go to court. However Pleasted "smirked" when he answered the door and told her the boys were all liars who had ruined his life, the jury was told. Sands said: "I was frightened. It was not how it was meant to go. "He was meant to listen to me." Describing the killing, Sands told the court: "I just had it (the knife) in my hand and I poked him with it in the front and that's when we both realised at the same time what had happened and he grabbed me. "He was frightening me and I pushed him away and I left. That was it." After handing herself in, Sands told a police officer the victim had touched some children "so I took care of it - I stabbed him". A distraught Sands also told the police how she had previously tried to help Pleasted and had taken him food. Judge Nicholas Cooke QC told the jury an inquiry was under way into the decision to bail Pleasted, adding the jurors were clearly "troubled by the background" of the case. Pleasted, who also went by the name of Robin Moult, had 24 previous convictions for sexual offences spanning three decades. He served sentences of between nine months and six years for sex crimes that included indecent assaults on a boys aged under 16 and under 14. The first offence occurred in 1970 and the last offence for which he was convicted was in 1991, the court heard. The sentencing of Sands was adjourned for reports and will take place on a date to be fixed in September. After spending the winter inland in Finnmark, Europe's last great wilderness, the animals are moved to pastures near the coast for the summer. The reindeer play a central role in the livelihoods and culture of the indigenous people of the region, the Sami, but this way of life is under pressure, as I saw on a journey in northern Norway earlier this month. Look at a map of the region and you'll see very few roads and only a handful of towns. Our expedition of nine people, each towed by a team of huskies, hardly encountered another soul. Led by our guide, Tom Frode Johansen, we passed through valleys and over hills, along the border between Norway and Finland, and then across frozen lakes and uplands of unblemished white. When it was cloudy - or when there were flurries of snow - the landscape appeared almost lunar and barren, and it was impossible to imagine any kind of animals enduring here. But when the sun came out, a golden light would transform the scene, revealing the details of cliffs, streams, clumps of woodland and - most significantly - herds of reindeer. Brown and sturdy, their antlers silhouetted against the white, the reindeer clear away the snow to reach the food they rely on in winter: lichen. It does not seem to amount to much but it does mean that life is possible here. And one night we saw how central the reindeer are to the lives of the Sami people. We had been on the move for 12 hours and shelter from the cold couldn't come soon enough. It was well below freezing and the snow was so deep that we sank into it past our knees. A tiny glimmer of light shone from the window of a hut ahead of us. This was to be our sanctuary. Our torches picked out the wooden walls of the small building; otherwise we were in a landscape so empty it was hard to remember that Finnmark is part of the overcrowded continent of Europe. My mobile phone hadn't had a signal all day. As soon as we walked in, our host, Ellen-Anna Siri, welcomed us with an enormous dish of stew - of reindeer meat, of course - and exactly what we needed. For breakfast the next day she and her mother Kristine offered a plate of dried reindeer heart which was also delicious. And the two of them couldn't resist dressing my daughter Kitty in the full traditional Sami woman's costume of reindeer leather and embroidered hat. The connection between the Sami people and their reindeer has been about survival in a hostile land and it runs very deep: there is a legacy lasting millennia of living together in the polar North. The most immediate threat, we were told, is from wolves, bears and wolverines. Attracted by the reindeer herds, these predators are highly aggressive so Ellen-Anna warned us about going outside at night. If you need to go to the toilet, she said, which involved walking quite a distance through the snow, make sure you're accompanied so someone can keep a lookout. Suddenly, the wilderness seemed very wild indeed. But for the Sami this is nothing compared to the fundamental challenges they have faced. Historically, as semi-nomads, they have been irritating to the various governments here. For years Norway tried to make the Sami people more Norwegian. And along with Finland, Sweden and Russia, Norway closed its borders at various times, blocking the annual migrations. In the Second World War, when the Nazis were driven back by the Soviet Army, the Sami suffered terribly. Then the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986 released a radioactive cloud which contaminated thousands of reindeer. More recently, with rising temperatures in the Arctic, the Sami say the shorter winters are forcing them to change the patterns of their herding. On top of that, the grazing lands are under constant pressure from developers and prospectors who are lured by deposits of gold, copper and iron ore. Reindeer herding is no longer the only possible activity in these snowy lands. Inevitably, there has been a drift to the cities, to an easier life; traditional cultures experience that loss the world over. But the Sami are showing a powerful streak of resistance. At our destination, Kautokeino, a town regarded as a Sami capital (with a parliament and university), we watched a kind of Sami Olympics. People had travelled from across the region to be there and the games attracted a lively mix of accents and languages. The highlight was the reindeer racing, the animals tugging youngsters on skis at incredible speed. Later there was a full house for a competition for 'yoiking': yoiks are songs of praise, highly personal and often haunting. I found one sung to a daughter particularly moving. But then a band struck up. Yoiks have had an electronic makeover that's given them the sound of something from the Eurovision song contest. My first thought was that Sami culture could easily drown in a sea of light pop; but then I wondered if this was actually a clever way of keeping alive an age-old practice. I stepped outside into the bitter cold. Above me a vast green stripe arced across the sky: it was the mesmerising sight of the Northern Lights, strangely shaped clouds glowing and twisting from horizon to horizon. It occurred to me that the Sami people are among the very few to live under this spectacular show; and their ancestors must have enjoyed it too. Somehow the Sami have adapted and coped and survived over thousands of years, each generation gazing up at the swirling luminous skies while warming their hands on a bowl of reindeer stew. Learn more about the Sami people by listening to David Shukman's report from Scandinavia on From Our Own Correspondent. Spencer, 24, spent three years at Birmingham, who finished sixth last season - 19 points behind Emma Hayes' title-winning Chelsea side. Bailey, 20, is an England Under-23 international and played in the 2013 European Women's Under-19 Championship. "I want homegrown, English players who want to grow with us," said Hayes. "Becky has developed into a top goalkeeper and arrives with Champions League experience and a desire to reach the next level in her career. "Jade is a player I have known about for some time and for someone who is 20 has fantastic experience, having started for Arsenal for the past two seasons." The musical, at London's Playhouse Theatre, is based on Almodovar's Oscar-nominated 1988 black comedy. The show stars Tamsin Greig in her first stage musical role. Almodovar said there was a "huge difference" between the West End production and the original Broadway version, which flopped in 2010. "In Broadway it was too big. Here they they've got the real dimension for the play," he told the BBC after Monday's opening. "There are two songs taken away and two new songs and I think they are wonderful. The rest of the music sounds completely different." The opening night audience included Greig's Episodes co-star Stephen Mangan, Zoe Wanamaker, Graham Norton and Cherie Blair. Greig plays the main role of Pepa in the Madrid-based comedy about female friends and their chaotic lives. The West End version is directed by Bartlett Sher. Greig said Almodovar's presence felt "a little bit like having Shakespeare in the audience". "You know that someone is there to whom the story is connected. He's such a generous spirit. It doesn't feel overwhelming or terrifying. It just feels like you want to walk with him." In his four-star review for the Telegraph, theatre critic Dominic Cavendish wrote: "This is an absolute joy of an evening, built paradoxically on the unhinging despair that almost all of us experience in facing rejection, heart-break and the jealousy that comes with love betrayed." In the Guardian, Michael Billington praised Greig's "sparky performance", noting that she "conveys Pepa's gutsy resilience and professional pride". Henry Hitchings in the Evening Standard said the production took "too long to look fully at ease". But he added: "Thanks to a fizzier and more fluent second half this is a musical that leaves one feeling well entertained. But even if its vitality in the end proves charming, the journey is a rather bumpy one." Childcare provision for victims is "patchy" and specialist healthcare is not routinely provided, the report by 12 charities said. Its author Vicky Brotherton said having children made victims more vulnerable, but the UK was "blind to this". Home Office minister Karen Bradley said victims were offered tailored support. The report - by the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group - said the provision of access to safe accommodation, specialist healthcare and support for children was not being systematically provided. It said some children had to be present during their parent's asylum interviews, often when abuse is disclosed to officials. The report said: "Trafficked parents are very vulnerable to further exploitation as traffickers often use threats against a victim's child to maintain control over them. "Yet the government's response to trafficking fails to recognise trafficking victims who are pregnant or have children as being particularly vulnerable." Research by the 12 charities - including Amnesty International, Anti-Slavery International and Unicef UK - suggested up to 50% of the trafficking victims they offer help to are either pregnant or already have children. But the report said a national system to identify and support victims does not include questions on pregnancy. It found there was "a post-code lottery" of service. Ms Brotherton said having children or being pregnant adds "an extra layer of vulnerability" for victims. "This group has special needs on top of dealing with their often traumatic trafficking experience and requires special support. "Good practice exists in places but that's more down to experienced professionals who have developed it, but whose efforts are often undermined by the lack of systematic holistic response," she added. Ms Bradley, minister for preventing abuse, exploitation and crime, said victims were offered support and assistance tailored to their individual circumstances. She said the government would be announcing proposals on how best to help trafficked children in the coming weeks. Carwyn Scott-Howell, seven, from Talybont-on-Usk, was skiing in the French Alps when he fell 50m (160ft) off a cliff in April 2015. His mother Ceri Scott-Howell believes a lack of signage was to blame after her son mistakenly went off the piste. "I do feel people need to be aware of it and it needs never to happen again," she said. Mrs Scott-Howell told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad programme Carwyn was an experienced skier for his age, having skied from the age of three, and was aware not to go off the slopes. He became separated from his family when she stopped to help his nine-year-old sister Antonia, who had lost a ski. Having initially stopped, he then skied on and became lost off-piste. "I didn't think there was anything to worry about at the time because I thought it was all safe and signposted up there," she said. "Only after, when I could not find him... and managed to get some of the ski people who were having an end of year party, as soon as I told them they knew where he was. "They knew the area and they raised the alarm. "Even just a simple cross, Carwyn would have known he wasn't to go [there]. "It's not on the map, there's not a danger notice." Mrs Scott-Howell described her son as an "adventurous" boy who was the "life and soul" of the family farm. "It's every other day, the difficulty is. It's getting up in the morning on the days when you have nobody and your friends have all gone back to their work, their lives," she said. "It's part of you missing. He is missed in the family so much." Barbara Henderson, from Newcastle, was 18 in 1971 when she knocked on the door of the record company's London offices. "It was 10 o'clock at night and amazingly he answered the door," she said. Auctioneer Fred Wyrley-Birch said: "The market for anything Beatles-related is very strong and, as time goes on, there is more and more interest." The 16 Apple Corps pictures to be auctioned include images of The Beatles, John Tavener, James Taylor, The Radha-Krishna Temple, Mary Hopkin, Yoko Ono and Jackie Lomax. The company's security guard had taken Ms Henderson and her friend around the building and given them photos and albums, she said. "I don't really want to let them go but they're gathering dust," she said. "They're so rare - I have never seen them anywhere else and I'm always looking for Beatles pictures." The auction is due to take place on March 23. Overall, 58.8% of graduates are in jobs deemed to be non-graduate roles, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. It said the number of graduates had now "significantly outstripped" the creation of high-skilled jobs. The CIPD said the report's findings should be a "a wake-up call". "The assumption that we will transition to a more productive, higher-value, higher-skilled economy just by increasing the conveyor belt of graduates is proven to be flawed," said Peter Cheese, chief executive of the CIPD, the professional body for human resources managers. The report found the issue was leading to "negative consequences" including employers requesting degrees for traditionally non-graduate roles despite no change to the skills needed for the role. As a result, it found graduates were now replacing non-graduates in roles and taking jobs where the demand for graduate skills was either non-existent or falling. The trend was particularly prominent in construction and manufacturing sectors where apprenticeships have previously been traditional routes into the industry, the report found. Mr Cheese said that in many cases the "skills premium" graduates had "if it exists at all" was being "simply wasted". The CIPD is calling for a "national debate" over how to generate more high-skilled jobs. It said government and organisations both needed to act to help graduates make better use of their skills, but said the report also highlighted that for young people choosing an apprenticeship instead of university could be a "much better choice". A Department for Business, Innovation and Skills spokesman said: "We are providing the right mix of university places and apprenticeships to ensure more people have the opportunity to advance their careers and businesses to get the skills they need to grow." The Scots need a two-goal win on Thursday, combined with an England victory over Portugal, to go through. "Against Spain, it is going to be a different type of game," said Chelsea midfielder Cuthbert, who scored for the Scots as they lost 2-1 to Portugal. "And I trust my team-mates that we are going to get a positive result." Spain need a win themselves after losing 2-0 to England, who now lead the group having also hammered Scotland 6-0 in their opening game. But, despite the Spanish being ranked 13 in the world, eight places above the Scots, Cuthbert thinks her side can go one better than the 1-1 draw in the last meeting - a friendly at Falkirk Stadium in March 2016. "We're Scottish, so dust ourselves down relatively quickly and we've got another game in a few days, so we will look at what we need to improve on and take our chances," said the midfielder, who scored Scotland's equaliser against Portugal after coming on as a substitute. Cuthbert is determined not to let defeat by Portugal spoil her pleasure at being the first Scottish woman to score at a major football finals. Media playback is not supported on this device "On a personal level, I'm still disappointed," said the midfielder. "But it was brilliant to score my first goal in a major championship for Scotland - and Scotland's first goal. "We dictated a lot of the play and I really feel we deserved more from that game. "Sometimes in tournament football you get punished for the chances you don't take and mistakes you make, but I'm really proud to be Scottish and wear the jersey - win, lose or draw." Scotland have a slight advantage in previous meetings with Spain, winning six and drawing five of their 15 matches. However, Spain famously won their most recent competitive game, when Veronica Boquete scored in the last seconds of extra time to win 3-2 - and 4-3 on aggregate - in a play-off for the Euro 2013 finals. This time, Scotland will be without their three best players - Arsenal's Kim Little and Manchester City duo Jennifer Beattie and Jane Ross through injury. Goalkeeper Gemma Fay lamented their inability to take their chances against the Portuguese. "It wouldn't be Scotland if we didn't leave it until the last game to have to do something," said the Scotland captain. "Portugal might be ranked below us, but they are not a bad team by any stretch of the imagination. They have some very good players. "We tried the best we could knowing we had to get a result and had opportunities early in the first half - we hit the post and had shots saved. "It's a tough defeat to take, but there are some positives we can take, particularly in attack, and we move on to the Spain game." Police previously said both victims, aged 22 and 23, were hurt in a "targeted attack" in Langlands Road, in the Govan area, on Monday 11 July. They were treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries. Officers said a 22-year-old man had been arrested and detained. He is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday. Luke Jerram's Withdrawn sees a flotilla of abandoned fishing boats moored up for five months in the depths of Leigh Woods. Talks on climate change and the fishing industry are also among events planned. Huge crowds turned out for Mr Jerram's Park and Slide project in May 2014, which saw a 90m (295ft) water slide installed in Park Street. He told the BBC he hoped his new project would also "ignite the imagination of the public". "It's going to be slightly eerie," he added. "People will stumble across the boats and they'll think 'how did they get here?' "Were they perhaps dumped here by some giant tidal surge or is this the remnants of a collapsed fishing industry, perhaps." Mr Jerram said the five boats had been bought on various online auction sites "for a couple of hundred quid". "These are six-tonne fishing boats that are at the end of their life," he continued. "They'll be used as a venue for a whole series of performances and events. We're having choirs turning up, and lectures on climate change and the fishing industry." Anna Russell, from the National Trust in Bristol, which manages the woods with the Forestry Commission, said it was an "unusual sight". "It's absolutely thrilling that the boats are here now," she added. "It's been a lot of planning so we're really excited that they're here finally. It's amazing to see them here." Withdrawn has been commissioned by the National Trust's Trust New Art Bristol contemporary art programme. It was delivered in partnership with Forestry Commission England's Forest Art Works programme as part of Bristol 2015. It will officially open to the public on 18 April and run until 6 September.

Gerald Laing, who spent a large part of his life in the Highlands, created the artwork shortly after the shooting of the US president 50 years ago. Laing's New York dealer refused to exhibit it and it was put in storage. The pop artist, who was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, had been living on the Black Isle when he died in 2011. He spent much of the 1960s working in New York and was a close friend of artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Lincoln Convertible was considered too controversial to be displayed so soon after Kennedy's death in Dallas 1963. It was kept in storage for about 30 years before galleries felt comfortable enough to exhibit it. Almost 3m (9.10ft) long, the painting is based on film footage of the assassination taken by Dallas resident Abraham Zapruder. The painting - in which Laing used coloured dots for the first and only time in his career - depicts the Lincoln car in which the president and his wife had been travelling. Jackie Kennedy can be seen in her pink pill-box hat, while her husband leans over having been shot. The American flag is seen going off the screen to the right and below are the legs of secret service men running across the grass towards the car. The bottom of the canvas shows in part an earlier frame of the film, where the head of the Kennedy's chauffeur and the American flag are visible. The painting is owned by the artist's estate. Laing's most famous works included images of actresses Brigitte Bardot and Anna Karina. In October 2011, he showcased a series of paintings and drawings of Amy Winehouse in London. Laing was also a sculptor and created a statue of Sherlock Holmes that stands in Edinburgh and also the Exiles, a statue at Helmsdale that recalls the Highland Clearances in Scotland. Four Rugby Players at Twickenham Stadium, Ten Dragons at London's Bank Underground Station and The Glass Virgins at Standard Life's building in Edinburgh are among his other sculptures. He settled in the Highlands and made 16th Century Kinkell Castle, near Inverness, his family's home. Heavy drinking, obesity and hepatitis are believed to be behind the rise. The report by the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network said more deaths were in men, with the highest number of fatalities in the North West. The number of people who died from liver disease rose from 9,231 in 2001 to 11,575 in 2009, it said. Other major causes of death, such as heart disease, are declining. Prof Martin Lombard, national clinical director for liver disease, said: "This report makes for stark reading about the needs of people dying with liver disease. "Over 70% end up dying in hospital and this report is timely in helping us understand the challenges in managing end-of-life care for this group of people. "The key drivers for increasing numbers of deaths from liver disease are all preventable, such as alcohol, obesity, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. We must focus our efforts and tackle this problem sooner rather than later." Several recent reports have warned of rising deaths from liver disease, particularly in the young. The latest report follows figures published last December which showed a 60% rise in alcoholic liver disease in young people over seven years. TheNational End of Life Care Intelligence Network, which analyses death rates and costs of care, looked at statistics for deaths from liver disease across England between 2001 and 2009. They found most liver deaths were in people under 70, while one in 10 deaths of all people in their 40s were from liver conditions. Find out more about the effects of alcohol Men were disproportionately affected, especially when deaths from liver disease were due to heavy drinking, said the report. Prof Julia Verne, lead author of the report and clinical lead for the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network, said: "It is crucial that commissioners and providers of health and social care services know the prevalence of liver disease in their local areas, so that more people can receive the care they need to allow them to die in the place of their choosing." A Department of Health spokesman said: "These figures are a stark reminder of the preventable damage that eating too much and drinking too much alcohol can do. "Urgent action is needed to halt this trend. Our upcoming liver strategy will set out our plans on this issue, drawing on our plans to tackle problem drinking and obesity." Andrew Langford, chief executive of theBritish Liver Trust, said: "This report clearly highlights that liver patients have been, and continue to be, failed by our healthcare system. "Liver disease has remained the poor relation in comparison to other big killers such as cancer and heart disease, yet liver disease is the only big killer on the rise." The chief executive ofAlcohol Concern, Eric Appleby, said: "This report shows that loss of life through alcoholic liver disease remains as big a problem as ever, with a worrying tendency for those with the highest deprivation to suffer most, leading to a distinct north/south divide. "Minimum pricing of alcohol should do much to impact on the levels of drinking that lead to alcoholic liver disease, but health service commissioners must prioritise the disease at the local level too, focusing on ways to catch problem drinking early and so help to reduce the huge social and economic cost of the current death rate." Newtownards Magistrate's Court was told Olivia Danielli, 29, knocked the wing mirror off with an umbrella handle and threw it onto the car bonnet. A judge described the case as "nonsense on stilts". Last month, Mrs Danielli's estranged husband Simon was fined £500 after being convicted of assault. A judge said he was satisfied that Mr Danielli had struck Michael Browne - whom the ex-player suspected of having an affair with his wife - in the face. Further charges that he assaulted his estranged wife and damaged her phone were dismissed by the judge. On Tuesday, a prosecutor read a statement by Simon Danielli to police. In the statement, he said he was at home on the evening of 9 August, 2015, with a female friend when his estranged wife pulled up to his drive in her Porsche, banged loudly at his front door, and demanded the number of a babysitter. Mr Danielli said his wife said he could no longer see their children, and pushed her way past him at his front door, into the house. She left when her mobile phone rang, returned to her car, then approached his Jaguar. She knocked at a wing mirror repeatedly with an umbrella until it came off, he told police. She then threw the wing mirror on to the bonnet, and left. Mr Danielli filmed her knocking off the wing mirror on his mobile phone from an upstairs window of his house. The footage was viewed by the court. The damage to the car was valued at £1,468, of which Mr Danielli had to pay £350 to the insurance company. The prosecutor and an investigating officer read aloud an interview with Mrs Danielli in which she told police her husband had been leaving their children with "random babysitters and neighbours" while he "stayed out all night" during his days of contact with their children. She said she went to confront him about this, and after gaining entry into his home by consent, was then "pushed out" by her husband. The court heard Mrs Danielli, of Marino Station Road in Holywood, told police she bought the Jaguar for £34,000 on a loan from her father, which her husband had not paid back. The prosecuting counsel put it to Mrs Danielli the car was registered under her husband's name, that he had privately insured himself, and that in the police interview she had twice referred to the car as belonging to her husband. District judge Mark Hamill said the case was "nonsense on stilts, from start to finish. It was her car, it was his car, it was their car, and she attacked it to get back at him." Judge Hamill said the damage done by the court cases "could not be undone". He told the court: "If they had a Tardis to go back they would grab that with both hands."

Newsround spoke to Aaron to find out why he's been getting so close to the sharks... The 32-year-old batsman had even hinted last week that the upcoming third and final Test against South Africa could be his last. "I've been through a very difficult period," Pietersen admitted. He talked about a "change of heart", adding: "I love winning for England." I won't be playing the full IPL next year - I will come back and play the Test matches against New Zealand, so the IPL isn't an elephant in the room any more Pietersen said in a video interview, conducted by his management company, that he wanted to give "confirmation and clarity" about his future after speaking to his family, advisors and close friends. He said he was returning "unconditionally" to one-day and Twenty20 internationals. He also explained that, contrary to recent reports, he was not insisting on playing the full Indian Premier League (IPL) season next year, which would mean missing Test matches. "I'm not going anywhere," he said. "I want to make myself available for selection for every single form of cricket for England. "Money's not everything to me. Sportsmen have short careers. I can't do this until I'm 50 or 55 and I'm a provider for a young family. "But I love winning for England. I can't wait to play in Straussy's [skipper Andrew Strauss's] 100th Test next week. "These things make me happy - the runs I scored at Headingley last week, in a draw, didn't mean as much as a hundred I scored in Sri Lanka six months ago which ended in an England victory. "I've had a change of heart because of those reasons." After his hints at imminent Test retirement, speculation had been mounting that there was even a question mark over Pietersen's participation in the third and final Test at Lord's, for which the England squad will be announced at 14:30 BST on Sunday. The "Pietersen issue" has been in sharp focus ever since he walked off the pitch at Headingley last Monday. Test debut: v Australia (Lord's), 21 July 2005 Test record: 88 matches, 151 innings, 7,076 runs, highest score 227, average 49.48, 27 fifties, 21 centuries One-day international debut: v Zimbabwe (Harare), 28 November 2004 ODI record: 127 matches, 116 innings, 4,184 runs, highest score 130, average 41.84, 23 fifties, nine centuries T20 international debut: v Australia (Southampton), 15 June 2005 T20 international record: 36 matches, 36 innings, 1,176 runs, highest score 79, average 37.93, seven fifties After telling the BBC's Test Match Special that he could not give any assurances that the Lord's Test would be his final appearance in Test cricket, he then went into the post-match news conference and claimed he had issues within the dressing-room and with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). It then emerged the Surrey player was unhappy with a Twitter account, "KP Genius", which parodied him and has been subsequently closed. Pietersen has now conceded he "didn't handle the press conference well at all". He explained: "I was very emotional. I am who I am in terms of shooting from the hip occasionally, and I do make mistakes. "I had a really, really good long chat to a team-mate yesterday. We went through loads of different things and I actually finished that conversation as someone who cannot wait to meet with the team on Tuesday." On the IPL, he added: "I've had a very constructive conversation with the owner of the Delhi Daredevils franchise and they've been magnificent. "I won't be playing the full IPL. I will come back and play the Test matches against New Zealand next year, so the IPL isn't an elephant in the room any more." This Test, which starts on Thursday, is arguably England's biggest match of the year so far, as the hosts must win to draw the series 1-1 and prevent the Proteas from overtaking them as the number one Test side in the International Cricket Council's world rankings. Its website describes it as being involved in the fabrication, processing and distribution of steel products throughout the UK and Ireland. The administrators, Grant Thornton, said they are reviewing the affairs of the group and will be in contact with all stakeholders. Met Steel are the shirt sponsors of Irish league football club, Portadown. The company's owners, Roy McMahon and Trevor Marshall, are on Portadown FC's board of directors. The last published accounts for the Met Steel Group show it made a pre-tax profit of £73,000 profit on turnover of £16m. At that time it was listed as employing 36 staff. The Met Steel Group also has an operation in County Dublin. The fossil was uncovered by a digger driver on farmland, near March, in October. Jamie Jordan, a "self-taught palaeontologist", who runs Fossils Galore in March, said it had taken "roughly 200 man-hours" to preserve it. It will be the "star attraction" at the shop and museum from 11 April. Palaeontologist Professor Adrian Lister, from the Natural History Museum, said: "Woolly rhinos were herbivores with low-slung heads who roamed the plains chomping on grass. "Most similar fossils to this date from the last ice age, about 75,000 to 35,000 years ago." Mr Jordan believes the skull may be far older than first realised. He said: "It was found under Devensian gravel deposits and they date back 250,000 years." Professor Lister said: "It's not impossible that it predates the last ice age [about 75,000 to 35,000 years ago] but it would be very remarkable and very special." Mr Jordan said the skull was covered in "horrible black" clay and had to be cleaned with small dental picks and lollipop sticks. "It has well over 500 layers of preservation fluid - a bit like PVA glue but watered down - which seeps into the bone and preserves it from the inside out," he said. Mr Jordan said: "We came across one extra bone, a leg bone, which showed signs of deer foot prints and cut marks. "Man didn't really mess with a woolly rhino but we think it was scavenged after it died."

The club have won the FA Trophy, the Conference title and the National League title since he took charge. "Now is the right time for me to start to stand down over the next couple of years, bringing in new directors," he said. "I think the clock is now ticking on my departure from the board, but not certainly not as a fan. "I will always, always, always be a fan of Cheltenham Town and a regular attendee." The carmaker said the model would go into production in 2019, with Oxford the main "production location" for the Mini three-door model. However, the electric motor will be built in Germany before being shipped to Cowley for assembly. BMW said it had "neither sought nor received" any reassurances from the UK on post-Brexit trading arrangements. Last year, the government faced questions about the "support and assurances" given to Nissan before the company announced that new versions of its Qashqai and X-Trail would be made in the UK. And there have been reports that Toyota agreed to invest in the UK after receiving a letter reassuring the Japanese carmaker over post-Brexit arrangements. About 360,000 Minis are made each year, with more than 60% of them built at Oxford. But BMW has built up an alternative manufacturing base in the Netherlands amid concerns about Britain's suitability as an export hub after Brexit. BMW has warned about the damage of Brexit uncertainty, and in May chief executive Harald Krueger said the company had to remain "flexible" about production facilities. UK Business Secretary Greg Clark hailed BMW's announcement as a "vote of confidence" in government plans to make Britain "the go-to place in the world for the next generation of vehicles". On Monday, he set out plans to invest in development of battery technology in the UK. Mr Clark met BMW's head of sales and marketing, Ian Robertson, at the company's headquarters in Munich in January and March this year. The two also held meetings at Westminster in March and June. David Bailey, professor of industry at Aston University, said the true test of the global car industry's desire to invest in the UK would come next year: "I don't think it [BMW's decision] tells us much about Brexit and the form of trade barriers we may face in the future. "The big decisions will be about future models [which would have redesigned bodies], both at Mini and at companies like Vauxhall when they announce their new models in the next couple of years." BMW says the economic case for building the electric mini in Oxford is compelling, and it's easy to see why. This is not a brand new car, redesigned from the ground up. It's a Mini, a 3-door hatchback, which will in many ways be identical to the cars already being built at the Cowley plant. The electric bit - the drivetrain, which includes the motor, gearbox and battery pack - will be assembled in Germany, and fixed to the rest of the car in the factory. So it makes sense to build this model at the same factory as the majority of existing Mini production. There is no need for a new factory or production line, meaning the size of the investment will be relatively small by auto-industry standards - in "the tens of millions", BMW says. There is a potential spanner in the works - the new car is due to go into production in 2019, months after the UK leaves the EU. With drivetrains being imported into the UK and many completed cars exported back to Europe, there's a risk costs could rise sharply if tariffs are introduced on cross-channel trade. But the company insists it can only make decisions based on the current economic realities. There has been no "special deal" done with the British government, it says - and nor has it asked for one. The German carmaker said the Mini announcement was part of a plan for electrified vehicles to account for between 15-25% of its sales by 2025. The electric Mini will be based on the company's 3-door hatchback model. However, BMW has yet to release pictures of a prototype vehicle. BMW employs about 18,000 staff in the UK, including the Mini plant at Cowley, the Rolls-Royce factory in Sussex and at other sites in Birmingham and Swindon. Unite assistant general secretary Tony Burke said the announcement was a "big vote of confidence" in BMW's UK workforce. He told the BBC that there had been "patient discussions behind the scenes" to secure the electric Mini. Although there was no news about extra jobs, Mr Burke said the new Mini would "certainly underpin existing employment". BMW currently makes electric motors and batteries for all of its electric cars at two factories in Germany, at Dingolfing and Landshut. Electric car development has been boosted by a series of announcements in recent months. The first phase of a £246m investment by the UK government into battery technology was launched on Monday. Earlier this month, Volvo became the first traditional car maker to commit to including an electric motor in all of its new models from 2019. US firm Tesla's first mass-market electric car, the Model 3, is expected to be unveiled on Friday at a handover party for 30 customers, before production is ramped up. And the first vehicle manufacturing facility to be built in Britain for more than a decade opened in Ansty, Coventry, in March to produce a new electric London black taxi. The funds were received during an auction of hacking tools that failed to attract much interest before the group eventually released the tools for free. One leak included an exploit that helped the WannaCry ransomware to spread around the world. This tool and others are believed to have been stolen from the US National Security Agency (NSA). The agency has not confirmed or denied this. The bitcoins have been moved to multiple addresses, leading some commentators to think that the Shadow Brokers plan to obfuscate the transactions, before perhaps exchanging the bitcoins for traditional currency. "Ever since the Shadow Brokers announced themselves, I've had an alarm on their bitcoin wallet just monitoring any changes," cyber-security expert Mikko Hypponen at F-Secure told the BBC. "I was surprised when I got an alert that they had emptied the wallet." Mr Hypponen added that it was unusual to see such activity because the value of the bitcoins was so small and by withdrawing them the hackers risked revealing their identity. Because of this, Mr Hypponen believes the move may simply be "a wild goose chase" - though some resulting transactions have already been tracked by observers. The group also posted a message in which it claimed to be launching a monthly subscription service for followers to receive more exploits and hacking tools. It has asked interested potential subscribers to send 100 ZEC - another crypto-currency called Zcash - worth £18,600 to a specific address. The group said it would send payment confirmation to the email address provided by subscribers and, between 1 and 17 June, would release a link and password to a new dump. However, it did not release any details of what the cache would contain. "TheShadowBrokers is not deciding yet," the group wrote in characteristically broken English. "Something of value to someone." The lack of any hint as to what might be in the future dump was a cause for concern, said Matthew Hickey of cyber-security firm Hacker House. "We have seen to-date that they have had powerful tools in their arsenal - we can only assume that they do have more exploits and they want to capitalise," he said. He said his firm was considering paying the £18,600 in Zcash so that any serious exploits could be analysed and potentially patched before causing a WannaCry-like malware outbreak. "I hate the idea of paying money to these clowns," said Mr Hypponen, who also noted that Zcash transactions would be harder to trace than Bitcoin ones. "But the previous leak did lead to WannaCry so this is important - the stuff they have is very good [sophisticated]." Harry Peak was pictured dressed in a Three Lions training kit when he invaded the pitch at St George's Park in Staffordshire. The 18-year-old said it was "a moment of frustration" as he had failed to find players to sign a shirt earlier. The Football Association said his behaviour was "unacceptable". The governing body added that it was considering "appropriate action", but declined to comment further. Mr Peak, of Tavistock, in Devon, had been invited to watch yesterday's training session with his father, a Club Wembley member. After running on to the pitch, he was seen kicking a ball before England's team physiotherapist Gary Lewin ushered him away from the players. It was the first time the team had gathered to train since the final Euro 2016 squad was revealed. The teenager, who is currently studying for A-levels, said he had spent nine hours travelling to the training centre in the hope of getting autographs. "We were left waiting for around three hours and then when we got to watch the players we were informed there wouldn't be any autographs or photos after the training," he said. "I was absolutely gutted. It was a frustrated spur of the moment decision. I had a rush of adrenaline, I ran on the pitch as I thought it was the only time I'd get to meet the players." He added: "I'm not a prankster. It wasn't a prank and I am embarrassed at the problems I have caused." An FA spokesman said: "The person in question was the son of an invited Club Wembley member who had to follow a formal registration process on entry to St George's Park. "The FA were aware of his identity and we will take the appropriate action in due course as a result of this unacceptable behaviour." It found that despite some improvements, Galashiels North, Galashiels West and Langlee remained the "most negatively affected". The regional alcohol profile summary uses information from police, health services and the council. It also found that alcohol-related antisocial behaviour had fallen to its lowest level in five years. Among its other key findings for 2015/16 were: Overall, the report found the region had a lower rate of alcohol-related hospital stays than the Scottish average. However, parts of Galashiels, Hawick, Eyemouth and Peebles exceeded those rates. The rate of alcohol-related deaths in the region has also remained "consistently" below nationwide levels. The full findings of the report are available online. Military officials also revealed that the plotters had 35 planes, 37 helicopters, 74 tanks and three ships. Meanwhile, detention warrants have been issued for 47 journalists as part of a crackdown that has already resulted in detentions of nearly 16,000 people. The government says US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind the army-led attempted coup - a claim he denies. At least 246 people were killed and more than 2,000 injured in clashes during the abortive coup. In a statement on Wednesday, the Turkish military's General Staff said that "a total of 8,651 military personnel took part in the coup attempt". It added that 1,676 non-commissioned officers and soldiers, as well as 1,214 military students, joined the plotters. Separately, the authorities ordered the detention of another 47 journalists - just several days after similar warrants were issued for 42 reporters. Those on the new list were mostly members of the now defunct Zaman newspaper, Turkish officials were quoted as saying by local media. The authorities ordered the closure of several media outlets soon after the attempted coup. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to purge state bodies of the "virus" he says caused the revolt. He launched a widespread crackdown, arresting thousands of service personnel and sacking or suspending thousands of judges, government officials, school teachers and university heads. Human rights group Amnesty International says it has received credible evidence of detainees being subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, since the coup attempt. Last week, Turkey declared a three-month state of emergency, allowing the president and the government to bypass parliament when drafting new laws and to restrict or suspend rights and freedoms. 21 June 2017 Last updated at 09:03 BST Hope tripped and fell into the pool in her enclosure and was struggling to swim. Luckily her mum and aunty were quick off the mark and went into the pool to help her to get out safely. Pictures from Seoul Grand Park Zoo. Ian Bell's measured 91 was the cornerstone of England's 269-6, while Jonathan Trott made 47 and Ravi Bopara supplied late impetus with 46 not out off 37 balls. Despite 55 from stand-in skipper George Bailey and James Faulkner's lusty unbeaten 54, Australia laboured to 221-9 on a largely blameless surface. 237: J Anderson (170 matches) 234: D Gough (158 matches) 168: A Flintoff (138 matches) 155: S Broad (98 matches) 145: I Botham (116 matches) 115: P DeFreitas (103 matches) 111: P Collingwood (197 matches) 103: G Swann (78 matches) 92: T Bresnan (73 matches) 80: B Willis (64 matches) Anderson claimed 3-30 to become England's leading wicket-taker in one-day internationals, Tim Bresnan took 2-45 and James Tredwell, playing in place of the injured Graeme Swann, had tidy figures dented by some late hitting. Victory not only gave England the early advantage in Group A after the first of their three round-robin games, but served as an early psychological blow against Australia before the Ashes start next month. However, one suspects Sri Lanka, at The Oval on Thursday, and New Zealand will pose a stiffer test than an Australia team that were bowled out for 65 in their final warm-up game and were missing injured captain and best batsman Michael Clarke here. There remains room for improvement for England - a middle-order collapse threatened to undermine a promising start with the bat and two catches and a stumping, albeit tough, went begging - but coach Ashley Giles can be pleased with their performance in front of an exuberant crowd basking in the Birmingham sunshine. 13 June: Sri Lanka, Edgbaston 16 June: New Zealand, Cardiff The skills exhibited by Anderson and company, who found reverse swing that eluded the Australia seamers on a dry yet flat surface, rendered the debate over England's total redundant after they wasted a start that saw them reach 168-1 having won the toss. Stuart Broad located David Warner's edge early on and Bresnan had Shane Watson taken at gully via inside edge and pad for 24 in one of four maidens bowled in the first 15 overs of Australia's reply. Phil Hughes had twice been reprieved by the time he was lbw for 30 attempting to pull Joe Root's part-time off-spin, and Bailey's resourceful contribution became increasingly futile as four wickets tumbled for 24 runs in 27 balls. Media playback is not supported on this device The exceptional Anderson was central to that collapse, accounting for Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Wade in an over that saw him surpass Darren Gough, on 234 wickets, as England's most prolific bowler in one-day cricket. Adam Voges was bowled by Bresnan and Bailey hoisted Tredwell to long-on either side of that; Mitchell Johnson - jeered all day - skied a Bopara full toss to point; and Anderson capped another record-breaking day by cleaning up the third Mitchell in the Australia side. Faulkner's 38-ball half-century was all but irrelevant. Man-of-the-match Bell and Cook batted with as much fluency as anyone in the game in adding 57 for the first wicket before the skipper was caught chasing Watson. Steady accumulation was the principal feature of Bell and Trott's 111-run alliance for the second wicket, although the fact they managed a combined five fours in 22 overs suggested scoring was not as easy as many observers initially expected on a pale, dry surface. Both teams now have 25 wins, with two ties and one no-result The most notable feature of Trott's innings was a verbal exchange with Wade after he inadvertently impeded the Australia wicketkeeper, but any sense that England's momentum would improve with his departure proved premature as five wickets fell for the addition of 45 runs. After Trott wafted at a Starc delivery which would have been called wide had he missed it, left-armer Faulkner arced one back to bowl Bell, then Root clipped the impressive Clint McKay tamely to midwicket in the next over. Eoin Morgan was bowled round his legs as he stepped across his stumps to McKay, and a leaden-footed Jos Buttler played on driving at Faulkner two balls later. With England's ambitions of reaching 300 long since revised, it was left to Bopara - mixing the occasional drive over the top with sprightly running - and the muscular Bresnan to carry them to a total that proved more than adequate. Australia were fined for a slow over-rate after it was ruled they were one over short of their target at the end of the match when time allowances were taken into consideration. Skipper Bailey was fined 20% of his match fee while his players received 10% fines. More than 9,000 species, from single-cell organisms to penguins and whales, are chronicled in the first Antarctic atlas since 1969. The book will be launched by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research at its Open Science Conference in Auckland, New Zealand. Across 66 chapters, the atlas contains around 100 colour photos and 800 maps. It is called the Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean. "It's been an enormous international effort and will serve as a legacy to the dedicated team of scientists who have contributed to it," said Dr Huw Griffiths, one of the atlas's authors and editors, from the British Antarctic Survey. Dr Griffiths said he believed the atlas would appeal to "anyone interested in animals living at the end of the Earth". All together 147 scientists from 91 different institutions around the world contributed to the work, which has taken four years. They hope the publication will help inform conservation policy, such as the issue of whether marine protected areas should be established in open swathes of the Southern Ocean. The data include the distribution of different species, insights into their evolution and genetics, their interaction with the physical environment and the impacts of climate change. Researchers say that compiling the information together can help predict how the habitats and distribution of important species will change in the future. The book's chief editor, Dr Claude De Broyer from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, said: "This is the first time that all the records of the unique Antarctic marine biodiversity, from the very beginnings of Antarctic exploration in the days of Captain Cook, have been compiled, analysed and mapped by the scientific community." Dr De Broyer described the atlas as "an accessible database of useful information" for conserving the marine life of the Antarctic. Khalid Mir, who had been drinking bottles of vodka and Baileys, spat and swore at cabin staff. The air rage incident happened on board a seven-hour flight from Dubai to Birmingham in November 2016. Birmingham Crown Court heard Mir, 39, had a mask placed over his face after head-butting a video screen. Prosecutor Philip Brunt told the court the cabin crew suspected Mir was drunk, as he was last to board the flight and had his own alcohol with him. Mir, of Havelock Road, Saltley, Birmingham, became abusive 30 minutes into the flight and was given a warning by flight staff, the court heard. He was then issued with a second warning but responded by swearing and throwing a drink across the cabin. More on this and other Birmingham and the Black Country stories. The court heard how the married father threatened to rape a female passenger before having his hands and feet bound with plastic cuffs, as some passengers, including children, were reduced to tears. Mir, who has over 50 previous convictions, pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to being drunk on an aircraft and failing to obey the lawful command of the jet's pilot. Passing sentence, Judge Avik Mukherjee told Mir: "The mechanisms used to curb your behaviour ran the whole gamut, from being warned, being formally warned, being cuffed, being strapped, to then a mask being placed over your face. "Being drunk on a plane requires severe punishment - others who wish to behave in this way must be deterred." President Hassan Rouhani accused one of his rivals of abusing religion to win power and another of wanting to beat up students. In return he was accused of corruption, economic mismanagement and failing to bring any benefits from a landmark nuclear deal. Mr Rouhani is seeking a second four-year term in next Friday's election. Although seen by some as a reforming figure, Mr Rouhani has cast himself more as a moderate pragmatist working within the establishment. It was, however, clear that the reformist vote remained an important focus, given the three hours of fierce exchanges with hardline opponents. Cleric Ebrahim Raisi, seen by some as a protégé of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, a former Republican Guard commander and police chief, were his main targets. Mr Rouhani said: "Mr Raisi, you can slander me as much you wish. As a judge of the clerical court, you can even issue an arrest order. But please don't abuse religion for power." The president attacked Mr Qalibaf's handling of protests when police chief in the late 1990s and early 2000s. "You wanted to beat up students," Mr Rouhani said. His opponents focused on his failure to make economic progress despite the lifting of some sanctions following the 2015 agreement with global powers on the curbing of Iran's nuclear programme. Mr Qalibaf said: "The country is facing an economic crisis, with unemployment, recession and inflation. A tree that has not borne any fruit in four years will not yield anything positive in the future." Mr Raisi said 250,000 small businesses had closed and he called for an increase in cash payments to the poor. Mr Rouhani insisted money was becoming available for investment and that he would work to lift the remaining sanctions. But the fiercest clashes were on corruption. Mr Raisi alleged Mr Rouhani had blocked an inquiry into corruption charges against relatives and claimed some of his ministers were linked to illegal imports. The president was also accused of receiving heavily subsidised public properties. Mr Rouhani in turn alleged public funds had been diverted to Mr Raisi's campaign, adding: "Some security and revolutionary groups are bussing people to your campaign rallies... Who finances them?" He also said that if he had published a dossier he had obtained in 2005 on Mr Qalibaf "you would not be sat here today". The other three candidates are Eshaq Jahangiri, Mostafa Hashemitaba and Mostafa Mirsalim. All the candidates have been screened for their political and Islamic qualifications by the Guardian Council, made up partly of clerics. If no candidate wins 50% of the vote on 19 May, there will be a run-off between the top two one week later. Roseann Mallon, 76, was killed by UVF gunmen as she watched television at her sister's house near Dungannon. A lawyer for her family outlined nine points that, he said, reinforced the family's view that the loyalist paramilitaries did not act alone. But a lawyer for the PSNI and Ministry of Defence said it was wrong to say there had been collusion. He accepted that while the police investigation had been extensive, the inquest proceedings had identified some frailties and shortcomings. However, he added that "it would be totally wrong and manifestly unjust to translate these frailties and shortcomings into evidence of collusion". The lawyer for the Mallon family said: "In their view there were state forces at work here, in both events leading up to the murder and events that followed." The judge described police attempts to explain a delay in providing some documents to the inquest as "like reading Alice in Wonderland". Mr Justice Weir told the court that he hoped the evidence would be formally closed once an outstanding disclosure issue relating to one document had been resolved. Media playback is not supported on this device Owen, 36, who scored 40 goals for England, said the 22-year-old had been unfairly criticised because he likes to play out of defence rather than hack it clear. "The problem is that because he's so much better than most other players no-one can relate to how he's thinking," Owen says. So is Owen right to put Stones on such an elite pedestal? Do statistics back up the former England striker's view? Another ex-England international, defender Sol Campbell, recently stated that Stones makes too many mistakes to be considered for the England starting XI at Euro 2016. BBC Sport team selector users are also decided - centre-backs Chris Smalling (825,000 selections) and Gary Cahill (789,000 selections) start in the majority of the 1m teams, with Stones the 12th most popular player with 384,000 picks. Back in March, a slip by the young defender eventually led to a Netherlands penalty in the 2-1 win over England, and in January a risky backpass to keeper Tim Howard resulted in Everton conceding a penalty to Swansea. In fact, according to Opta's statistics, both Stones and his fellow Toffees centre-back Phil Jagielka made the most errors directly leading to goals in the last Premier League season - three. Only Southampton's Maya Yoshida and West Ham's Aaron Cresswell made as many. Stones' rivals for the England centre-half spot, Manchester United's Smalling and Chelsea's Cahill, made no such errors. "He will make the odd mistake but so will everyone - everyone just goes on and on and on about mistakes," Owen says. So is Stones a liability? Not according to these statistics. The Barnsley-born player conceded only 11 fouls in the Premier League last season, giving away a free-kick only once every 2.8 games. That is a better rate than Smalling and Cahill, and many of his other Premier League and European counterparts. Both Pique, 29, and Javier Mascherano, 31, have been rocks in the Barca backline this season. Only Atletico Madrid conceded fewer goals (18) than the Catalan side's 29 in La Liga last season. But the graphic below suggests the 22-year-old Everton defender would not be such a bad fit for Luis Enrique's La Liga champions after all. If you widen the comparison to include the best on the continent, then again he fares well. Aside from conceding fewest fouls, his pass completion rate in the third best and he has a high rate of success in one-on-one situations. BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty: "Stones received heavy criticism during a tough season at Everton - but there is no doubt there is a truly outstanding defender waiting to re-emerge. "He suffered from playing under Roberto Martinez's management in an Everton side where good defending was almost regarded as optional, allied to a dip in form that often afflicts younger players. "Stones was also arguably a victim of Martinez's indulgence, where he was almost actively encouraged to stick rigidly to his natural ball-playing style at any cost rather than adopt a more risk-averse approach. This led to nervousness, not just in Stones but Everton's supporters, and consequently mistakes. "In stronger coaching hands, at least defensively and with greater emphasis on positioning, there is every chance the defender perfectly suited to all aspects of the modern game - one with pace, vision, aerial ability and timing in the tackle - will be back. "Whether this will eventually all add up to a defender good enough to grace Barcelona is another matter. Stones still has much developing to do before he can keep that elite company, but there is no question the potential is there in a talent that was allowed to fall into disrepair at Goodison Park last season." Security think tank Quilliam said the fighting group was going to huge lengths to sell itself as a viable and functioning transnational state. IS media teams produced 900 separate reports, rulings, videos and radio programmes in one month, it found. It said 469 of these - more than half - focused on civilian life and statehood. These were spread worldwide through social media search terms and hashtags, to dodge attempts to close down its "official" social media channels. Read the full BBC News Magazine article: Fishing and Ultraviolence: The strange world of IS advertising IS operates some 40 media operations across the territory it controls, is attempting to seize or claims to have an operational presence. Most of the output is in Arabic, but many reports are translated into English and other target languages. Over the course of a month, the counter-extremism think tank logged all announcements, broadcasts and publications which it said could be clearly attributed to the group's media teams. Quilliam recorded almost 900 individual online messages and publications covering one of six core propaganda themes: war, brutality, victimhood, mercy, belonging and civilian life. Charlie Winter, the study's author, said: "The overall narrative has shifted in favour of victimhood, war and utopianism. "The brutality, mercy and belonging narratives are still present - but instances of those three are vastly outnumbered by the others." In the 469 instances which focused on statehood, IS media teams sought to prove that it was capable of administering land under its control - including examples of supposedly functioning public services and economic life. "Statehood is the group's chief appeal, one that is just as important domestically, as it is abroad," said Mr Winter. "Through the portrayal of seemingly every facet of life in the 'Caliphate' - from treatise on hijab [headscarves] and martyrdom to melon agriculture, Islamic State's propagandists are able to create and cultivate a comprehensive image of utopia." The fighting group had originally operated a series of official and branded social media accounts, but as they were increasingly blocked or removed by internet service providers, its media teams began embedding specific hashtags and search terms to ensure its messages could be spread by followers around the world. Substitute Zak Jules, who had replaced Stephen McManus early on, fouled Moussa Dembele and the Frenchman scored the resulting penalty. James Forrest's strike doubled Celtic's lead before the break. Dembele and Scott Sinclair threatened with further efforts for the hosts in the second half as they moved to within five wins of the title. Brendan Rodgers' side could have their lead cut to 24 again when nearest challengers Aberdeen visit Kilmarnock on Sunday but, with a far superior goal difference, Celtic could effectively win the league and secure a sixth straight title with 15 more points after clinching a 20th straight Premiership win. Motherwell slip to 10th - three points above the relegation play-off place. Motherwell's last visit to Celtic Park saw them frustrate the champions for long spells of the first half and so it was again in the east end of Glasgow. The visitors had to suffer early frustration of their own, though, losing two experienced defenders from their starting XI before the game really got going. Steven Hammell pulled up with a hamstring problem before kick-off and was replaced by former Celtic youth player Joe Chalmers. And, five minutes into the game, Jules replaced McManus in central defence after the former Celtic captain had pulled up with what looked like a groin problem. In response to their own adversity, the men in claret and amber packed their defence and Celtic struggled to create meaningful chances. Manager Mark McGhee, sent to the stand during his side's 7-2 thumping at the hands of Aberdeen on Wednesday, sat passively but pleased as his men held Rodgers' side at bay. His head was in his hands just after the half-hour, though, when his side gifted Celtic the lead. Jules needlessly brought down Dembele inside the box and the striker duly sent goalkeeper Craig Samson the wrong way from the spot. The familiar roar from the Celtic Park stands signalled the home side were on their way. It was only going one way after that and Forrest doubled the lead when his dancing run on the right ended with him firing low inside Samson's right-hand post. Celtic now looked in the mood. Liam Henderson's replacement Stuart Armstrong provided another boost for the league leaders by playing the whole of the second half after four games out. Dembele and Sinclair both passed up good chances but the match settled into a bitty affair with Celtic dominating rather than demolishing Motherwell. The visitors started to sneak forward as the game progressed knowing there was nothing to lose but Louis Moult and Scott McDonald were denied by a home defence keen to make it 12 clean sheets in 14 matches. Celtic's usual intensity was missing but they never looked like dropping points against a side who were up against it before a ball was even kicked. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "The players were technically very good on a very, very difficult surface. "Moussa gets the penalty, uses his body really well, draws in the foul. The second one's a great bit of play. I thought [Forrest] was outstanding. He gets a really good second goal. "We were much better second half, used the sides better. [We] maybe could've scored two or three more goals. "In the main, very pleased. Another clean sheet. Defensively we were strong. Another good victory." Motherwell manager Mark McGhee: "Given Celtic's recent form, to come out of here with a decent performance and a 2-0 defeat, in the scheme of things, is not a bad performance and not a bad result. "Zak Jules has come up on loan from Reading and he made a mistake for the penalty but other than that I think he was excellent. "James Forrest tore Joe [Chalmers] apart at the goal but James Forrest is unplayable for anyone in the country when he's playing like that, so we can't be too upset about that. He stuck to his task and overall I'm quite pleased with the young players. "It's not so much put to bed [the midweek 7-2 defeat at Aberdeen] as you never forget a result or performance like that. But what it does do is give you optimism and the belief that what we thought about them is true. For instance, the two Rangers games and the Hearts game that we ended up losing we could just as easily have won. "The reality is we'd have rather not come here after that result [at Pittodrie] but we had to come here and we stood up to it, which I think is really important in the run-in."

Peacekeepers opened fire when demonstrators tried to force their way into the UN headquarters, says a BBC reporter, who saw bodies being taken away in a police vehicle. The UN denies using live bullets and says its soldiers only used tear gas. A group of Central Africans wants the UN mission to withdraw, saying it is failing to protect people. The peacekeepers were deployed after civil war broke out in 2013 when then-President Francois Bozize was ousted by mainly Muslim Seleka rebels. But the UN has been hit by several allegations that its troops have been sexually abusing children. Africa Live: Updates on this and other news stories A coalition of civil society organisations called on residents of the capital, Bangui, to stay at home in protest at the UN mission in CAR, known by its French acronym, Minusca. The coalition says Minusca is supposed to protect civilians and tackle armed groups in the city. "But wherever the UN forces go there is violence," protest organiser Gervais Lakosso told AFP news agency. As well as the four civilians killed, 14 people were injured in the clashes on Monday, with five peacekeepers among those hurt, according to a Minusca statement. The BBC's Max Allaroum in Bangui says the deadly shooting took place at the main square in Bangui, not far from the UN headquarters. The UN soldiers tried first to disperse the protesters by shooting in the air. They then shot at the crowd when it became more agitated and advanced on the building. Minusca spokesman Vladimir Monteiro told our reporter the UN had only fired of tear gas to disperse the demonstration. Numerous armed group still operate across the country - both Seleka and Christian self-defence forces set up to tackle them, known as anti-Balaka. Mr Salmond was giving evidence to the Commission on Parliamentary Reform at Holyrood days after the London attack. Questions have been raised about security at Westminster after the fatal incident on Wednesday. The MP said security was important to prevent "tragedies", but said "the show has to go on for the people". Five people were killed, including attacker Khalid Masood, and at least 50 people were injured in the attack near the Houses of Parliament. Questions have subsequently been asked about security and whether the attack could have been prevented, although several MPs have warned against turning the parliament into a "fortress". During an evidence session on parliamentary reform at Holyrood, Mr Salmond said it was important to balance security concerns with allowing the public access to politicians and parliament. He said: "Accessibility is increasingly challenging, as we saw from the tragic events at Westminster. "The decision to build the [security] annexe in this place was looking specifically at the danger of a knife attack. "It's the challenge of balancing necessary security and accessibility. "Direct public accessibility in the modern world is a constant challenge, but it can be done and must be done, because if a parliament is not accessible it can't be a parliament." He added: "At the end of the day, the show has to go on, and the show has to go on for the people. "People have to have access to their parliamentarians, and therefore security provision to do our best to prevent tragedies like the one that occurred this week are necessary, but cannot stop public access." The independent Commission for Parliamentary Reform was set up by Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh to give Holyrood an "MOT", and is being led by former Electoral Commissioner John McCormick. It has previously heard from Mr Salmond's fellow former first minsters Jack McConnell and Henry McLeish, who called for "radical" changes to the parliament and its electoral system. Mr Salmond agreed with their call to have elected committee conveners, something he called "perfectly feasible". And he backed a suggestion by Mr McLeish that the number of MSPs could be increased, arguing that Holyrood was likely to take on extra powers in future, either due to extra devolution as a result of Brexit or via Scottish independence. The Aberdeenshire MP said a "relatively modest" increase in the number of elected members could help committees scrutinise the work of government, although he suggested changes to the current additional member electoral system, which currently sees 56 members elected from eight regional lists. He said: "I think the lists should be national, as opposed to geographical. I've never been convinced by the regional aspect of the list, I see absolutely no reason why the list shouldn't be national. And in that national list, the political parties should put forward a list which is balanced across the community." The commission is expected to report back to the presiding officer in June 2017. The disgraced drugs cheat will join ex-England footballer Geoff Thomas for the hilly stages on 16 and 17 July. Cancer survivor Thomas and a team of amateurs are aiming to raise £1m for Cure Leukaemia by cycling each stage a day before the official peloton. Media playback is not supported on this device "We know Lance's involvement has split opinion, so we've tried to be as respectful as possible," said Thomas. "The stages Lance will be riding come towards the end of week two, when I know all the riders will need some support. "I know his arrival will give them the encouragement they will need to carry on with this gruelling challenge and in turn raise as much money as possible for blood cancer patients." Armstrong will ride the 198.5km 13th stage between Muret and Rodez on 16 July and the following day tackle the 198.5km 14th stage from Rodez to Mende. The American was stripped of his record seven Tour titles and banned from most organised sport for life by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in 2012. He later admitted on US television that he had used performance-enhancing drugs during all of his Tour victories, and news of his controversial return to France has shocked many within the sport. Media playback is not supported on this device In March the Texan was warned not to take part in the ride by International Cycling Union (UCI) president Brian Cookson, who said it was "completely disrespectful" to the current riders, cycling authorities and the race. "Lance would be well advised not to take part in that," he said. "I'm sure Geoff Thomas means well, but frankly I think that's completely inappropriate." Armstrong, who recovered from life-threatening cancer in 1996, told the BBC in January that his ban made it very hard to do the charity work he did throughout most of his post-cancer career. Thomas was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2003, a year after he retired from a 20-year football career that saw him captain Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final and win nine England caps. Inspired by Armstrong's story, he rode the 2005 and 2007 Tour de France routes ahead of the professionals, raising £250,000 to fund research nurses at the Birmingham hospital that treated his cancer. Now 50, he is trying it again and persuaded Armstrong to join the team in a bid to raise money for the Cure Leukaemia charity. Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford told The Times Armstrong had "done enough damage" to cycling and the Tour already. "For the sake of all clean riders in the peloton, who've already suffered enough from that era, leave them alone - enough's enough," Brailsford added. 30 January 2017 Last updated at 17:00 GMT First up, Rod Liddle, associate editor of The Spectator: "It's 2017 and liberalism is dead." Viewsnight will cover a broad range of views across a host of subjects. More throughout the week. To watch them all, head over to BBC Newsnight on Facebook and on YouTube Gayle, 26, followed up September's Norwich treble with another against Birmingham as the Magpies climbed above Brighton, who went top by beating Leeds on Friday night. It took his personal tally to 16 and also ended a three-game winless run. "It's important to get back to winning ways," Gayle told BBC Newcastle. "I set myself a target of 20 at the start of the season. "Scoring is the best thing for me to help the team pick up three points and to go back up to the top of the table is great for us." Newcastle's attacking threat was exemplified by the running of Gayle and the quality of Jonjo Shelvey and Matt Ritchie, particularly from wide areas. The quartet of goals took Newcastle's total for the season to 41, the highest in the division and third highest overall behind Scunthorpe and Doncaster throughout the top four leagues. "Playing with the quality we've got it can come from anywhere," Gayle continued. "It's fantastic to play up front being supplied by the players behind me." Manager Rafael Benitez has been rewarded for the decision to pay £10m for Gayle, who arrived in the summer from Crystal Palace. "Dwight is a clever player, if the team plays well he will have chances and score goals," Benitez added. "I'm very pleased for him and the team." The New York Times said a "shadow campaign" had been set up by some Republicans on the assumption Donald Trump would not stand again. Citing multiple sources, the article said Mr Pence had implied that he would plan to run if Mr Trump did not. Mr Pence said the report was an attempt to divide the administration. The Times story said the turmoil around the White House, including investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year's election, had prompted some Republicans to take steps "unheard-of so soon into a new administration". Mr Pence, it said, had created an "independent power base" and set up a political fund-raising group. In a statement, Mr Pence said: "The allegations in this article are categorically false. "Whatever fake news may come our way, my entire team will continue to focus all our efforts to advance the president's agenda and see him re-elected in 2020. Any suggestion otherwise is both laughable and absurd." Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway also dismissed the report as "complete fiction". "It's absolutely true the vice president is getting ready for 2020 - for re-election as vice-president," she told ABC's This Week. A New York Times spokeswoman stood by the article, saying: "We are confident in the accuracy of our reporting and will let the story speak for itself." The Pilgrims, second in the table, were beaten by Accrington on Saturday, while Rovers won to extend their advantage. "We're out of the title race now. Six points behind, Doncaster have a better goal difference - that's out of the question now," Adams told BBC Devon. "We've still got a job to do, we've still got 18 points to play for." Plymouth ended Doncaster's unbeaten home league record on 26 March to move within three points of Darren Ferguson's side, but Adams is now focused on simply securing promotion, having lost to AFC Wimbledon in last season's play-off final. The Devon side need nine more points to be sure of going up to League One. "The finishing line is there but you've got to do it. It's a wake-up call for everybody at the football club, not just the players," added Adams. "We've got to try and gain that automatic promotion, but we have to play a lot better." Barry Lyttle, from Ballycastle, County Antrim, was filmed on CCTV punching his younger brother, Patrick, outside a nightclub in Sydney, A January. Patrick Lyttle spent a week in a coma but made a good recovery. He asked the court to show leniency to his attacker. Barry Lyttle broke down as a prosecutor said he should be jailed. The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported that both brothers arrived together for the hearing at Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney on Thursday. Patrick Lyttle read an emotional impact statement, saying "everyone can see how much my brother has suffered". He told the magistrate that the only way he could make a full recovery was for his brother Barry to be allowed to go home to Northern Ireland with the rest of their family. "When my family is healed I will be healed," he said. Patrick Lyttle added that if his brother was released without jail, the pair intended to travel around Ireland together, speaking to young people about the consequences of violence. However, a prosecutor said he believed that a full-time jail term was "the only appropriate sentence" for the attack. Barry Lyttle is due to return to court to be sentence on 24 April. His lawyers say he needs urgent spinal treatment unavailable in Pakistan. Mr Musharraf returned from self-imposed exile in 2013 to fight elections, but soon found himself fighting an array of charges relating to his time in power. Before he left the former president told reporters that he would return to face all pending cases against him. "I am a commando and I love my homeland. I will come back in a few weeks or months," he said according to local media. BBC correspondents say observers are sceptical about his promised return. Profile: Pervez Musharraf Will Pakistan let Musharraf off the hook? The charges relate to the former general's imposition of a 2007 state of emergency and the assassination of former PM Benazir Bhutto the same year. Mr Musharraf, 70, denies all the charges and has called them politically motivated. The way for Mr Musharraf's departure to Dubai was cleared by the Supreme Court earlier this week when it struck down a court order restricting his travel. Legally, the government could have issued fresh orders to continue those restrictions, but chose otherwise. This is in sharp contrast to its attitude in November 2013 when, shortly after coming into power, it charged the former president with treason, ruffling feathers in Pakistan's powerful army, of which Mr Musharraf is a former chief. Initially upbeat about a civilian-led process of normalisation with India - traditionally the military's domain - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government was nearly brought to its knees by protests in Islamabad in 2014, which many blamed on the military. Since then, Mr Musharraf's trial has been on the back burner and relations with India have cooled. Mr Musharraf had ended his exile in March 2013 to contest election and face court cases pending against him. His departure on Friday is seen by many as the end of an era. But some believe he may still return to face his cases, just as he did three years ago. Mr Musharraf seized power in a coup in 1999, when he was army chief. He remained president until 2008, when a democratically elected government came into power. He left the country soon afterwards to live in self-imposed exile in Dubai and London. However, he returned in 2013, hoping to lead his party into elections - but was disqualified from standing. He faces a murder claim for failing to prevent the assassination of Ms Bhutto. Other charges relate to events in the same year - the state of emergency, his suspension of judges during that period and the death of a cleric during a siege at the Red Mosque in Islamabad in 2007. In January he was cleared over the 2006 killing of Baloch rebel leader Akbar Bugti, his first acquittal in the cases in which he is charged. General Musharraf's departure dominates broadcast and print media. "The general is free to walk away" says Pakistan Today newspaper. "Nawaz surrenders to Gen Musharraf," declares The News daily. The government's decision to give a him a safe exit was a "cruel joke" that "badly exposed the hollowness of the system", Ansar Abbasi writes in The News, warning that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif "has further weakened himself and left the door wide open for future military interventions". Other papers criticise the leeway shown by courts to the general, with Pakistan Today asking whether there is genuine rule of law in the country. It adds that Gen Musharraf's pledge to return is not worth more "than the constitution which he violated". Urdu-language daily Pakistan notes that the general cannot now complain about the government "taking revenge", adding that "it is now his duty to fulfil the promise to come back".

Media playback is not supported on this device Six-time champion Serena, 34, thrashed Russia's Elena Vesnina 6-2 6-0 in 48 minutes to reach her ninth final. Fourth-seeded German Kerber, 28, prevented a fifth all-Williams final by beating Serena's older sister Venus, who looked out of sorts, 6-4 6-4. In January, the left-handed Kerber beat Serena in the Australian Open final for her first Grand Slam title. Serena, who is bidding to match Steffi Graf's open era record of 22 Grand Slam singles title, simply had too much firepower for her unseeded opponent. Vesnina, a two-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, looked overawed from the outset, losing the first four games. The world number 50, playing in her first Grand Slam singles semi-final, rallied but still lost the first set in 28 minutes. Things got even worse for Vesnina in the second set, the 29-year-old simply unable to deal with the Serena serve, which yielded only three points in the match. Venus, who last won the title in 2008, was appearing in her first Grand Slam semi-final since the 2010 US Open and was the oldest major semi-finalist since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1994. Five-time champion Venus fell out of the world's top 100 in 2011 after being diagnosed with the immune system disorder Sjogren's syndrome. And the eighth seed looked fatigued throughout, dropping her serve four times in the first set and also in the first game of the second. Kerber continued to take advantage of Venus' misfiring forehand, wrapping things up in one hour and 12 minutes to reach her first Wimbledon final. Media playback is not supported on this device "We've had tough matches before and I knew she could bring it to me on this surface," said Serena, who led Vesnina 4-0 in head-to-heads before Thursday. "It's never easy out there, every point you have to fight for. "I can't believe I'm in the final this year. I'm 0-2 this year [Serena lost the Australian and French Open finals] so I'm determined to win one." Vesnina, who had never before been past the fourth round, said: "I felt like I had no chance today. "I think she has now a big, big chance to win her 22nd Grand Slam title. I think she's in the right mood right now." Serena went on to beat Vesnina for a second time later in the day as she and Venus beat her and fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-2 to reach the semi-finals of the women's doubles. "I know Venus is playing well at the moment. Everything worked and it is a very good feeling," said Kerber, who has lost five of seven matches against Serena. "I have a lot of experience now. I'm really enjoying my tennis life. I'm playing my best tennis. I will give everything I can in the final." John McEnroe, three-time Wimbledon champion: "Let's be real, I'm guessing it's a combination of fatigue and Vesnina freezing. Her legs looked like they weighed 200 pounds each. "It shows you how great Serena is. As a former player, you understand how difficult it is. The first time I went on Centre Court it felt like my legs would buckle." Tracy Austin, two-time Grand Slam winner: "Serena played at another level and Vesnina was completely overwhelmed. "It was a fantastic game from Kerber. She did not let Venus get into the match. "I felt that Venus came out fatigued because she was not able to push off on her first serve as much. Her first serve was not effective as it had been in the rest of the fortnight. "Kerber is going to test your movement, she has incredible angles, hits the ball early and Venus was half a step slow. Venus wasn't able to get enough depth and power on her groundstrokes. "It was a real disappointment for Venus after playing so well and such a remarkable story by coming back at the age of 36." Lindsay Davenport, 1999 Wimbledon champion: "It will be great to see Serena compete for her 22nd Grand Slam title, but you always want more competitive matches. It has been the tournament of Elena Vesnina's life but this was a tough day at the office for her." You can now add tennis alerts in the BBC Sport app - simply head to the menu and My Alerts section

Holder Serena Williams will play Angelique Kerber in the women's singles final at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Naji Jerf, 38, was shot with a silenced pistol in downtown Gaziantep, near the Syrian border, Turkish media reported. Mr Jerf was the film director for Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group of journalists who risk their lives daily to report on IS abuses. It is the second murder of a member of the group in as many weeks, after Ahmad Mohammed al-Mousa was killed in Syria. Mr Jerf was a vocal critic of the so-called Islamic State. He directed two recent documentaries about the group - one about the killing of Syrian activists in Aleppo, the other about the work of RBSS. He was also a father of two young daughters. A friend of Mr Jerf said the filmmaker's family had been granted asylum in France and was due to travel to Paris this week. As well as his work with RBSS, Mr Jerf was editor-in-chief of Hentah, a Syrian magazine that reports on the "daily lives of Syrian citizens", according to the publication's website. No one has claimed responsibility for the murder, but Islamic State supporters in Turkey are the most likely suspects. This is not the first time IS has murdered a member of RBSS on Turkish soil. In October, Ibrahim Abdul Qader was beheaded in the southern city of Urfa. Another journalist, Fares Hamadi, was killed in the same attack. IS subsequently published a video warning: "You will not be safe from the knife of the Islamic State. Our hand will reach you wherever you are." The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the murder of Mr Jerf. "Syrian journalists who have fled to Turkey for their safety are not safe at all," said Sherif Mansour, the CPJ's Middle East and North Africa programme co-ordinator. "We call on Turkish authorities to bring the killers of Naji Jerf to justice swiftly and transparently, and to step up measures to protect all Syrian journalists on Turkish soil." Turkish police say they have opened an investigation. RBSS is one of the few independent sources of news left in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa. The city, which IS has controlled since August 2013, serves as its de facto capital. RBSS has citizen-journalists operating inside Raqqa, despite IS making membership of the group punishable by death. RBSS was honoured last month by the CPJ. Keiran Murtagh's header from six yards that went in via the underside of bar put Woking in front and Bruno Andrade doubled the visitor's lead. After the break, Matt Rhead's header put Lincoln back in it before Jack Muldoon equalised from 12 yards. Goddard then scored in the bottom left-hand corner, three minutes from full-time, to give Woking victory. James Fenton went missing at the start of July 2010, but it was 10 weeks before his body was found fewer than 40 metres away in the hospital grounds. A Police Ombudsman's report strongly criticised the PSNI investigation. A PSNI spokesman said officers had learned lessons from the case and accepted the ombudsman's findings. Mr Fenton admitted himself to the mental health unit at the Ulster Hospital in July 2010. A short time later he climbed over a gate at the back of the building and is believed to have died a short time later. The police conducted a search of hospital grounds and told his family they believed Mr Fenton was alive and staying with friends. His mother, Janice Fenton, has said the police let her family down. "My life sentence and nightmare is going to bed at night, closing my eyes and knowing that James lay 40 metres from the hospital ward, cold, alone, uncovered," she said. James Fenton's mother has also criticised the Ulster Hospital, accusing it of failing to look after the son she left in its care. "As far as I am concerned, if you are in a mental health unit you should be looked after, you should be accompanied when going out, you shouldn't be allowed to walk out freely on your own," she says. "I feel they let James down and ourselves just the same as the PSNI." The South Eastern Health Trust said it would be inappropriate to comment on the Ombudsman's report. In a statement, the Trust expressed sympathy to James Fenton's family and said it plans to arrange a meeting to discuss any concerns they may have. Due to the length of time James Fenton's body had lain undetected, a post mortem examination was unable to establish how he died. The Police Ombudsman, Dr Michael Maguire, said the PSNI investigation contained a catalogue of mistakes. He said the police failed to follow a number of leads that could have helped to find Mr Fenton in the initial hours after he disappeared and he also found that officers were "rude and unsympathetic" to his family. It was revealed that police did not check the hospital's CCTV footage on the day that Mr Fenton went missing, and they did not attempt to trace his mobile phone signal for almost 12 hours after they were called to investigate. Dr Maguire was also strongly critical of the officer responsible for supervising the initial search of the hospital grounds, because he did not visit the site in person. "The police response over the first weekend was in my view inadequate and lacked clear direction and purpose," the ombudsman said. "There was a failure to follow through guidelines for the investigation into a high risk missing person. I don't think they grasped the seriousness of the situation initially and as a consequence they didn't follow through on some lines of inquiry and I think evidential opportunities were lost." Dr Maguire added that the PSNI's "poor communication" with the Fenton family had "undermined the investigation and led the family to lose confidence in the police effort to find James". "There was huge frustration among the family that they had to explain the case to different officers on different occasions and say the same thing. They felt that they weren't being listened to. They knew that James came from a very loving home and this was not characteristic of his behaviour," he said. The ombudsman recommended that a total of 13 officers be disciplined and said he believed the PSNI had taken his report seriously. "I would hope and expect to see changes in operational practice and in the way in which police engage with families in what is a very difficult but important situation where you are dealing with high risk, vulnerable people who are missing," Dr Maguire added. The PSNI says it can not reveal details of the action taken against the 12 officers disciplined as a result of the report. In a statement to the BBC, the Ombudsman says he is now reviewing the policy of not revealing details of disciplinary sanctions imposed on officers. Chief Superintendent Nigel Grimshaw said he could not "comment on disciplinary sanctions to individual officers" but said the PSNI has "learned many lessons from this investigation". He acknowledged that officers' failure to view the hospital's CCTV footage was an "omission" but added that it showed James travelling down a set of steps in the building and he argued that it would not have significantly aided the search, or led them to where his body was found. Ch Supt Grimshaw said Mr Fenton's mobile phone signal - traced 11 hours and 39 minutes after he was reported missing - had provided officers with "an indication of the general location" of the phone. However, he added: "That fell within a 5km radius which is an extensive area and, if you know the area and the topography around the Ulster Hospital, it is significant and it covers a wide scope in terms of the general nature of the terrain". He told BBC Radio Ulster that officers who initially responded to the missing person report carried out a torchlight search of the grounds and were directed towards a nearby school that was in a different area to where Mr Fenton's body was found. Ch Supt Grimshaw added that officers received reports of 11 sightings of Mr Fenton during the investigation. Elsie Hendy, 71, was found about 75ft (23m) down the cliff, near a rope used by surfers to reach a Cornish beach. Truro Coroner's Court heard she drank a bottle of wine before the accident and often went missing after drinking. She had suffered from "acute domestic stress" caring for her husband and had tried to form a suicide pact but he refused. Mrs Hendy's body was found partially clothed on Christmas Eve 2014 at Basset's Cove near Portreath after she was reported missing the day before. She died from very serious head and brain injuries. Giving evidence, Det Con Adam Partridge from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "I do not believe Mrs Hendy has jumped based on her injuries and the fact that there was no suicide note. "It would be easy for her to lose her balance on a slippery surface." During the evidence it emerged Mrs Hendy had gone missing 10 to 15 times after drinking alcohol, and had been found asleep on clifftops in the past. She had also tried to take her own life and had been detained three times by police under the Mental Health Act. Assistant Coroner for Cornwall Andrew Cox said despite Mrs Hendy's mental health history, there was "no evidence of prior intent" in this case. He said he noted that caring for her husband had "got too much for her" but added: "It is right to recognise that she was reluctant to allow professionals to support her". After the inquest, Det Con Adam Partridge from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "This was a sad and tragic accident; one which highlights some of the dangers of living in a county almost entirely surrounded by natural unprotected coast paths." The event in the Garnethill area, where Miss Buckley lived, follows a vigil on Friday attended by hundreds of people, including the young woman's family. The 24-year-old's body was found on a farm near Glasgow last week, four days after she went missing on a night out. Alexander Pacteau, 21, has appeared in court charged with the Cork woman's murder and was remanded in custody. Mr Pacteau, from Glasgow, made no plea or declaration during the private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Saturday's gathering to remember the student was entitled Vigil For Our Neighbour Karen Buckley. Miss Buckley was studying at Glasgow Caledonian University and shared a flat on Hill Street, which borders the park where the event is taking place. Organisers said they wanted to give local people a chance to remember one of their neighbours "who didn't get to come home". Candles were being lit in the shape of a triskele - a Celtic triple spiral - in recognition of Miss Buckley's Irish roots. On Friday, Miss Buckley's family, friends and fellow students were among about 300 mourners at a candlelit vigil held in Glasgow's George Square. A piper played as mourners laid flowers and others sang Scottish and Irish songs before a minute's silence was held. Cards and messages were also left. Miss Buckley's parents Marian and John, and her brothers arrived towards the end of the vigil and looked at the tributes. Mr and Mrs Buckley earlier visited Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) where their daughter was studying occupational health. A special prayer service was held near her home in Mallow on Wednesday, and a fundraising page set up by Miss Buckley's former classmates to support her family has raised more than £50,000. The new centre will be built in Knightswood on redundant red braes football pitches. The city's executive committee also agreed almost £617,000 to extend mountain bike trails and facilities at Cathkin Braes Country Park. Both locations will be venues for the Glasgow 2018 European Championships. The new centre at Knightswood Recreation Ground will be the new home of the Western Titans BMX Club. Riders of all ages and abilities will have a main track, while advanced riders will make use of eight and five metre start ramps. There will also be a track for learners, and the tracks will be floodlit. Plans include changing rooms, a meeting room, a car park and an access road from Archerhill Road. Other funding for the centre is coming from the Glasgow 2018 European Championships, sportscotland and a partnership between HSBC bank and British Cycling. Additional cash for the Cathkin Braes facility is coming from Glasgow City Council, sportscotland and LandTrust. Work there will see the track brought up to international standards for the European Championships. A new start-finish will be located closer to the local community in Castlemilk, with trails adapted to allow riders of all abilities to use them. A Glasgow City Council spokesman said the funding was good news for local communities. He said: "This funding will add to Glasgow's outstanding collection of sporting facilities, with these two fantastic venues open for the people of Glasgow and our visitors to use, and capable of hosting local, national and international events. "There will be fantastic opportunities for local communities to take part in the development of cycling in Glasgow." Flynn, 61, was the Swansea boss who masterminded the club retaining their Football League status on the last day of the 2002-03 season. He has since worked with the Wales age-grade teams and was caretaker boss of the senior side for two games. During eight years in charge of the Wales under-21s, Flynn oversaw the progression of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Wayne Hennessey. Several of the youngsters went on to form the nucleus of Chris Coleman's Euro 2016 semi-finalists. Flynn, who played for Wales 66-times, was a firm favourite at the Vetch Field and cemented his legacy when they retained their Football League status on the final day of the 2003 campaign with a 4-2 win over Hull City. Port Talbot-born Flynn, who played for Burnley, Leeds United and Cardiff City, has also managed Wrexham and Doncaster Rovers. The rule requires teams to interview at least one black or minority ethnic candidate for a head coach vacancy. There are only two black managers in the Premier League and Football League. Dan Rooney, 82, told BBC Radio 5 live: "I would tell British clubs that if they would look at this openly they will find this is a positive thing." Rooney, owner of Pittsburgh Steelers and chairman of the NFL's Workplace Diversity Committee, which proposed the regulation in 2002, says it would open doors for clubs when looking at additional candidates for a job. "The plus side of this is you're increasing your list of people to look at and it would really work. I couldn't recommend it enough for the teams in Britain," he said. "It may take a little bit of work. But it would be a plus to the teams, to the league itself. When you think about it they have nothing to lose." Media playback is not supported on this device His comments come after the head of the players' union, Gordon Taylor, told BBC Sport last week there was a "hidden resistance" from English clubs to hiring black managers. Keith Curle, at Carlisle, and Huddersfield's Chris Powell are the only two black managers within the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs. Those who support English clubs adopting the 'Rooney Rule' say the fact that 25% of players are black or minority ethnic means there should be greater representation at management and senior coaching level. Rooney believes clubs and leagues now need to show leadership over the issue. "It's not going to force teams to hire anybody. That's their decision and they have to do a good job," he added. In a statement, the Premier League said: "The situation that brought about the introduction of the 'Rooney Rule' in the NFL is markedly different to football. But our ultimate goal is the same. "What we want to achieve, by working with the FA, Football League, managers and coaches, is more and better coaches coming through the English system who can progress to the highest levels of the game on merit and regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or background." Media playback is not supported on this device Following a threat of legal action from an organisation of activists, the NFL created the Workplace Diversity Committee. That committee proposed the rule, with Rooney saying that at the time just 6% of head coaches in the NFL were black - by 2006 that number had increased to 22%. Cyrus Mehri - one of the lawyers who helped devise and introduce the Rooney Rule in the NFL - has called on UK Prime Minister David Cameron to hold a conference with club owners. "I don't think we need legislation as much as we need leadership. There's been a failure of leadership throughout the game in the UK," said Mehri. "I'm calling right now for people of good will to call on the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to hold a conference where he brings in the top stakeholders." Former Birmingham and Derby defender Michael Johnson made more than 550 Premier League and Football League appearances in an 18-year playing career. But he told BBC Radio 5 live that since retiring in 2009, and despite having all the necessary qualifications, he had found it impossible to get a job in management. "I'm a pro license qualified coach," he said. "I've gone through a governance course. I'm on the LMA diploma in football management. I can't get any more qualified. "But I've been out of football work in a full-time capacity for three years. "I've sent over 30 CV's of and got two interviews. For me, there's something wrong there." BBC Radio 5 live are hosting a debate on the Rooney Rule from 0900-1000 BST on Friday, 3 October. It was a resounding "No" that the Greek government this week turned into an emphatic "Yes" by agreeing to a wide range of measures to receive about €85bn (£61bn; $95bn) more in loans from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). There has been surprise throughout Europe and in Greece that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was able to go from six months of fraught and fractious negotiations with creditors, which culminated in an agreement with bleary-eyed eurozone leaders on the morning of 13 July, to four weeks of talks with visiting technical teams in Athens that were free of disagreement and drama. Perhaps the key factor in the swiftness of the agreement was that, having stared into the abyss of a Greek euro exit last month and knowing that German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble headed a group of eurozone decision makers keen to make this happen, it became clear to Mr Tsipras that he was left with no more room for manoeuvre. The result is that the Greek government has reached an agreement that goes against much of what it preached over the last months. The prime minister's office argued this week that the lower budget targets agreed by the lenders, starting with a 0.25% deficit this year, mean Athens will not have to continue the sharp fiscal adjustment that was demanded before Mr Tsipras and his Syriza party came to power in January. The reality, though, is that any benefit from the relaxation in austerity measures has been cancelled out by the return of a deep recession following the first signs of growth in half a decade last year. The Greek economy was forecast to grow by 2.9% this year and 3.7% in 2016; instead it is now expected to contract by 2.3% this year and more than 1% in 2016. This downturn is a result of the recent uncertainty and the capital controls Greece had to impose on 29 June, a couple of days after Mr Tsipras announced the referendum. Also, the reduction in primary surplus targets does not mean an end to spending cuts or tax rises. In fact, Greece has to produce more than €4.5bn in savings and extra revenue on an annual basis as part of its new agreement. This is a far cry from the €12bn in extra spending the prime minister pledged as part of his economic manifesto, the Thessaloniki Programme, before the January elections. Peston: Third time lucky for Greece? The prime minister also had to cross a number of other so-called "red lines". He had promised, for instance, to halt and review Greece's privatisation programme. Instead, he has now agreed to progress with it at full pace and to set up a new asset fund that will raise €50bn over 30 years, with €6.5bn of that coming in the next three years. Mr Tsipras has also made concessions on other big issues: The current coalition has also accepted a myriad of structural reforms that previous administrations shied away from. These include changing regulations for milk, making it easier to open a pharmacy and altering the taxation of farmers. All of these are designed to make the Greek economy more competitive, but they all bring PM Tsipras into conflict with specific interest groups. Mr Tsipras's predecessors backed down when they encountered such resistance. They decided it was easier politically to spread the cost of adjustment among the whole of Greece's population through broader measures rather than pick off these groups one by one. The domestic political consequences, though, will be vital in deciding whether this third bailout has a chance to work or not. It is clear Mr Tsipras has lost Syriza's left wing and that his party is heading for a split. This may prompt him to call snap elections in the autumn rather than seeking new coalition partners. Early polls would give him a chance to capitalise on his popularity, which has so far weathered the impact of the last few months' tumultuous developments. But this strategy carries a risk as it is not clear how Greeks will react to the latest agreement, especially if the new measures start to bite. Nick Malkoutzis is editor of analysis website MacroPolis and deputy editor of Kathimerini English Edition newspaper The Scottish Cup winners have been drawn against Astra Giurgiu, who faced the Premiership champions last season. After a 2-1 defeat in Glasgow, the sides drew 1-1 in Romania. Caley Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron said: "No doubt John will be speaking with his close friend and Celtic assistant manager John Collins." Inverness host Astra on 16 July with the return leg in Romania seven days later. Those games against Celtic came in the group stage after Astra recorded fine wins over Slovan Liberec and Olympique Lyonnais and they will be favourites to progress again as they enter the competition at the second qualifying round stage against Caley Thistle. "Astra have been in the Europa League qualifiers in both 2013-14 and 2014-15, so they have a slight advantage in terms of European experience, but I am sure John and the boys will be ready to meet the challenge," Cameron told his club website. "This is a totally new experience for our club as we make our first-ever appearance in European competition." Astra, who play in the 8,500-capacity Stadionul Marin Anastasovici in Giurgiu, a city in the south of Romania with a population of 55,000, finished the season fourth in their country's top flight. Coach Marius umudica has already restructured his squad, with several players who faced Celtic no longer at the club. Gabriel Enache, the Romania midfielder who found the net at Celtic Park, and William De Amorim, the Brazilian midfielder who scored against the Scots in Giurgiu, remain in the squad. However, midfielder Vincent Laban, who was sent off in the first leg, has joined Larnaca. Greek midfielder Vasileios Pliatsikas has joined Metalurh Donetsk, defender Joao Carlos Reis Graça is back at Braga after his loan spell, forward Sadat Bukari left for Al-Shoalah, while midfielder and fellow Ghanaian Seidu Yahaya has also left the club. Astra have raided Romanian rivals Concordia Chiajna to sign defender Ricardo Miguel Martins Alves, winger Alexandru Stan, midfielder Florin Lovin and striker Daniel Constantin Florea. Romania Under-21 midfielder Iulian Rou has arrived from Steau Bucuresti, goalkeeper Ionu Boneag from Academica Arge, and central defenders Alexandru Adrian Dandea and Geraldo Alves from Metalul Reia and Petrolul Ploiesti respectively. "It is a big advantage that we now know who we play and are not waiting on the results from the first-round games to find out who our opponents are," added Cameron. "We are positive that Astra will receive a very warm Highland welcome both on and off the park and we look forward to an exciting game on the evening of the 16 July, another historic night for our club and the city of Inverness." Nottingham City Council applied for £14.9m towards the £26m project, which it hoped would create a "world class heritage attraction". The Heritage Lottery Fund said bidding for grants was "highly competitive" and it did not have enough money. The council said it will now improve the plans and re-submit its bid. The project included creating a visitor centre and improving access to the castle's caves. Nottingham's official Robin Hood, Tim Pollard, said he was disappointed that the funding bid had been rejected. "Myself and Maid Marian have just got back from Hamelin in Germany, the home of the Pied Piper, and what they do with the Pied Piper legend over there is absolutely fabulous," he said. "It would be utterly brilliant if we could get that amount of tourism coming into Nottingham and I think Nottingham needs a Robin Hood attraction." Ted Cantle, chairman of the Castle Working Group, said: "Naturally, we're disappointed not to have got the funding straight away but we remain totally committed to the castle project. "We have been encouraged to have another go when more grant money from the Heritage Lottery Fund will be available." Many people from the city, including Nottingham North MP Graham Allen, have called for Nottingham to make more of its links with Robin Hood. The Nottingham Castle project was considered by the Heritage Lottery Fund alongside 11 other bids from the UK. Six of the projects have been successful, and a total of £68m will be given to them. Vanessa Harbar, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund East Midlands, said: "Nottingham Castle and its wider site have played a hugely significant role in our national history over the past millennia. "We know this news must be very disappointing but our recent board meeting was over-subscribed and highly competitive meaning we sadly did not have enough money to support all the applications we looked at on the day." The Heritage Lottery Fund will meet with the working group to give feedback on where the bid went wrong. The working group intends to submit its new bid in November. The votes - about 1% of the five million postal votes in May's election - were received after the polls closed. The figures were given to the Commons by Gary Streeter, speaking officially as a representative of the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission. He said: "Anyone voting by post should make sure they get their postal vote away in good time." The blaze at the derelict South Fod Farm, Linburn Road, started at about 16:00. Police said smoke was blowing east from the farm towards Kintail Place and Braemar Drive. A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said six appliances had been sent to the scene from Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. Sussex, resuming on 112-5, were bowled out for 180 with Chris Rushworth taking 5-38 and Ben Stokes collecting 3-51. Durham were set 165 to win and they comfortably reached their target. Richardson scored his third 50 in first-class cricket and Stokes added a further 45 off 60 balls as the hosts made 167-5 to win with a day to spare. Durham's Paul Collingwood: "We couldn't have wished for anything better than our finish to the season. "At the halfway point we had to have a serious change and we all put our hands up and admitted it needed to be better. "We all stuck in and there was a lot of pride in the second half of the season. We worked hard and deserved those wins. "We had a little bit of bad luck in the first half of the season. It was unfortunate but I would never put it down to Phil Mustard's captaincy. It was obviously hard on him. "But we avoided relegation and we all know we have got to do a lot better next season." Durham coach Geoff Cook: "I think the efforts of the team deserve praise and they have played really in the latter half of the season. "We played some teams at the right time and that reflects the change of luck we had. "Things started to roll for us after the narrow defeat at Arundel against Sussex and we moved on from that on the back of some very strong bowling performances in some bowler-friendly conditions. "We have had Graham Onions with a huge bag full of wickets with three others getting up around 30 wickets. "It's a simple formula for doing well in the Championship and in the second part of the season we have won more games than anyone else and ended up with one win less than the leaders." Sussex coach Mark Robinson: "From where we were at the beginning of the season, I'm pleased we finished where we did but I am also a little bit disappointed we didn't get over the line in one or two competitions. "There's not a lot to separate most teams from top to bottom. This game was a nearly game for us and when we needed some big decisions to go our way they didn't. "We bowled a lot in this game with a wet ball, but things didn't happen when we needed them to. "You find out about people in games like this. Neither side played on day one but both dug in after that and played well. This was a good test for some of our players, particularly seeing how they handle the likes of Graham Onions running into them. "However, we missed a few little windows of opportunity in this game to take the game by the scruff of the neck and Durham ran away with it in the end." The £80 fine was put on the silver Mercedes as Mrs Clinton attended an event at Chatham House on Friday. Her security staff were seen discussing the penalty notice with a Westminster Council traffic marshal, but he refused to remove the ticket. A Westminster councillor said: "We have to be fair to everyone." Westminster City Council cabinet member for business Daniel Astaire said: "The former US Secretary of State was parked for nearly 45 minutes without paying. "I'm sure she will understand that we have to be fair to everyone, regardless of their status on the world stage." Mrs Clinton was awarded this year's Chatham House Prize in recognition of her contribution to international diplomacy and work on behalf of gender equality and opportunities for women and girls. She has not commented on the ticket. Earlier this week, the price of a barrel of Brent crude dipped below $50 a barrel for the first time since May 2009. Oil giant BP has announced it is to cut 200 jobs and 100 contractor roles following a review of its North Sea operations. BP is the just the latest in a string of North Sea operators to announce job losses. It said it needed to respond to "toughening market conditions". But consumers are likely to have to pay less to drive their cars and heat their homes. So how important is the oil and gas industry to to the UK? A report for the industry body Oil and Gas UK last year estimated the sector is worth about £35bn to the UK economy. In 2012-13 the industry paid £6.5bn in taxes to the UK government. Last year, investment of £14.4 billion was made in the industry on new projects and exploration, which was said to be the highest for 30 years. Oil and Gas UK said there are more than 3,000 companies directly involved in the industry. The sector employs 450,000 across the UK. The average salary in 2012 was £64,000 a year. Oil and Gas UK said 330,000 other jobs are directly sustained by the industry with 207,000 people within the wider supply chain and a further 100,000 jobs supported by the economic activity created by employees' spending. Source: Oil and Gas UK From 2010 until mid-2014, world oil prices had been fairly stable, at around $110 a barrel, but since June prices have more than halved. Economists say the falling price is down to supply and demand: as economies slow down across the world there is not enough demand for what is being produced. Booming production in the US, and particularly the shale gas revolution, has also contributed to the recent oil price fall. There is a continuing move away from oil to other energy sources. In some countries extracting oil remains relatively cheap but drilling in deep water wells such as those in the North Sea remains expensive, meaning the fall in prices has an immediate impact on companies. This is good for consumers as it potentially means cheaper fuel at the pumps, but has a negative impact on the UK's oil and gas industry. In 2013 the UK government commissioned Sir Ian Wood to carry out a review of the industry, the first such commission in 20 years. His final report, released on 24 February 2014, made a series of recommendations, including the setting up of a new independent regulator. He also recommended more investment in infrastructure to improve efficiency, and more money to be spent on exploration and exploitation of untapped reserves. The review said this would put the UK in a much stronger position to exploit the estimated 25 billion barrels of oil remaining in the North Sea. The Wood report claimed changes in the way the North Sea oil and gas sector operates could produce at least three to four billion additional barrels of oil over the next 20 years, but with oil prices low, industry bodies want to see taxes reduced to save investment and jobs. At the start of this week, Malcolm Webb, chief executive of Oil and Gas UK, said "a significant amount" of UK oil and gas production was becoming unprofitable at current prices. The Scottish government has also been calling for taxes to be reduced and accused UK government ministers of "mismanagement" of North Sea oil. The government rejects this accusation, and says it is doing everything it can to protect jobs. Energy Secretary Ed Davey has hinted that the industry's tax regime could be re-examined. Oil workers are said to be concerned about the uncertainty in the sector. The main reason for hesitancy or lack of confidence was falling prices having an indirect impact on jobs. An independent regulator, the Oil and Gas Authority, is being set up after the Wood Review said the existing one was "no longer adequate" to meet the challenges of managing an "increasingly complex" sector. The industry is being asked for its view on the scope of the new regulator and what powers and sanctions it should have. Andy Samuel has been appointed as the chief executive and said he knows "first-hand the challenges industry currently faces". The first task for the regulator is to work with the UK government on a "wholesale review" of the tax regime for the sector, including "everything from tax rates to tax allowances". Industry bodies want to see taxes reduced to save investment and jobs. The seven local authorities agreed to apply to the government to make the LA7 Leadership Board a Combined Authority at a meeting on Monday. It is hoped the move will gain "more powers and funding" for the area. Gateshead Council leader Mick Henry said all the councils wanted what was "best" for the region. Mr Henry said: "We want to create the best possible conditions for growth in jobs, investment and living standards. "We want to make this area an excellent location for business, prioritise and deliver a high quality infrastructure and raise skill levels." A Combined Authority can be set up when two or more local authorities want to work more closely to support economic growth in areas such as skills, transport and investment. LA7 is made up of seven councils - Durham County, Gateshead, Newcastle City, North Tyneside, Northumberland County, South Tyneside and Sunderland City. Greater Manchester was the first in the country to develop a statutory Combined Authority in April 2011. On Saturday, a Royal Dragoon Guards soldier died in a blast in Nahr-e Saraj district. A marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines was killed while on foot patrol in Sangin district on Friday. The third fatality, an airman from the Royal Air Force Regiment, also died on Friday, in a crash while on patrol. All next of kin have been told. The deaths bring the number of UK servicemen killed in Afghanistan this week to seven, taking the UK death toll in the campaign since 2001 to 321. Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lt Col James Carr-Smith said the marine had "died seeking to protect and reassure the local population in and around Sangin". Col Carr-Smith said the soldier killed on Saturday had been operating as part of a foot patrol "providing security to enable new roads and security bases to be constructed" when the explosion happened. "His courage, sacrifice and selfless commitment will never be forgotten. "We will remember them," Col Carr-Smith added. The airman was part of a vehicle patrol that was conducting security operations in an area north of Camp Bastion, the main British military base in Afghanistan, when he was killed in an accident. "He will be remembered by his many friends. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and his actions will not be forgotten," the colonel said. Meanwhile, a major manhunt continues for a rogue Afghan soldier who killed three members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles at a base in Nahr-e Saraj on Tuesday. Maj James Joshua Bowman was shot as he slept, while Lt Neal Turkington and Cpl Arjun Purja Pun died when a rocket-propelled grenade was fired into the command centre. A man who contacted the BBC saying he carried out the killings, claimed he was angry at the conduct of British troops in Helmand and accused them of killing civilians, including children. He said he had acted alone, but had joined the Taliban after his attack. The Ministry of Defence said it could not comment on the man's claims, but denied troops were deliberately killing civilians. Also on Tuesday, Marine Matthew Harrison from 40 Commando Royal Marines was fatally shot while on foot patrol in Sangin. Stormont Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said it was the first major shake-up in the law since the alcohol limit was introduced in 1968. Under the plans, the permitted blood alcohol limit would be reduced to 50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood - down from the current UK limit of 80mg. It is thought the bill could become law by early next year. The legislation also proposes changes for driver training and testing: Mr Durkan said Northern Ireland's drink-drive laws would be brought into line with Europe, including the Republic of Ireland. "Radical measures are necessary if we are to pursue an ambition of zero road deaths," he said. "This new legislation will tackle drivers who shamelessly continue to drink and drive. "It will provide powers to radically overhaul how we train, test and protect our vulnerable new drivers. "It will also reduce the risk to riders of quads on public roads by requiring them to wear helmets." The chairman of the Driving Instructors Association in Northern Ireland said the lowering of the minimum age for learner drivers "has been sprung on us". "It wasn't in the consultation paper that we responded to, and we are told it was a ministerial decision," said Tom Burns. "We are going to be completely out of kilter with the mainland, who are talking about raising the age to 18 - it doesn't seem to have been thought out. "Also, the one-year minimum period for learning is too long for many people, and it doesn't suit people like pregnant women for example, who have to get their test as soon as possible." The legislation proposes a number of other measures on drink-driving: The aircraft - called Solar Impulse-2 - took off from Abu Dhabi, heading east to Muscat in Oman. With businessman and pilot Andre Borschbeg at the controls, the aircraft touched down in Oman at 16:14 GMT after a 12-hour flight. Over the next five months, it will skip from continent to continent, crossing both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. "And there we are... confirmation we're down. Solar Impulse has touched the ground," a flight controller said as the plane's wheels touched the tarmac. The single-seater vehicle took off at 07:12 local time (03:12 GMT). Mr Borschberg will share the pilot duties in due course with fellow Swiss, Bertrand Piccard. The plan is to stop off at various locations around the globe, to rest and to carry out maintenance, and also to spread a campaigning message about clean technologies. Before taking off, Borschberg told BBC News: "I am confident we have a very special aeroplane, and it will have to be to get us across the big oceans. "We may have to fly for five days and five nights to do that, and it will be a challenge. "But we have the next two months, as we fly the legs to China, to train and prepare ourselves." Monday's leg to Oman covered about 400km. Details of the journey are being relayed on the internet. A solar revolution - by Roger Harrabin, BBC environment analyst It's a deep-breath moment in the history of technology as Solar Impulse soars to the skies. Because, pinch yourself, solar power is predicted to become the dominant source of electricity globally by 2050. The price of solar electric panels fell 70% in recent years and costs are expected to halve again this decade. And Deutsche Bank forecasts that, based on current fossil fuel prices, solar will produce power as cheaply as gas in two thirds of the world before 2020. In the UK the solar industry thinks it can compete with wind within 18 months and with gas in the near future. In the USA, solar jobs already outnumber coal jobs. The solar revolution was sparked by government subsidies, which attracted venture capitalists to fund innovation and created a huge market that Chinese manufacturers are battling to exploit. The solar boom is a huge help in the battle against climate change, but scientists warn it's not nearly enough. And we must find ways of storing that mighty but capricious power, and making it work with the grid. BBC iWonder: Is jet travel becoming the dirtiest way to cross the planet? The Solar Impulse project has already set a number of world records for solar-powered flight, including making a high-profile transit of the US in 2013. But the round-the-world venture is altogether more dramatic and daunting, and has required the construction of an even bigger plane than the prototype, Solar Impulse-1. This new model has a wingspan of 72m, which is wider than a 747 jumbo jet. And yet, it weighs only 2.3 tonnes. Its light weight will be critical to its success. So, too, will the performance of the 17,000 solar cells that line the top of the wings, and the energy-dense lithium-ion batteries it will use to sustain night-time flying. Operating through darkness will be particularly important when the men have to cross the Pacific and the Atlantic. The slow speed of their prop-driven plane means these legs will take several days and nights of non-stop flying to complete. Piccard and Borschberg - whoever is at the controls - will have to stay alert for nearly all of the time they are airborne. They will be permitted only catnaps of up to 20 mins - in the same way a single-handed, round-the-world yachtsman would catch small periods of sleep. They will also have to endure the physical discomfort of being confined in a cockpit that measures just 3.8 cubic metres in volume - not a lot bigger than a public telephone box. Flight simulators have helped the pilots to prepare, and each man has developed his own regimen to cope. Borschberg will use yoga to try to stay fresh. Piccard is using self-hypnosis techniques. "But my passion also will keep me going," said Piccard. "I had this dream 16 years ago of flying around the world without fuel, just on solar power. Now, we're about to do it. The passion is there and I look forward so much to being in the cockpit." The support team is well drilled. While the mission will be run out of a control room in Monaco, a group of engineers will follow the plane around the globe. They have a mobile hangar to house the plane when it is not in the air. It is not at all certain Solar Impulse will succeed. Computer modelling suggests the ocean crossings are feasible, given the right weather conditions. But that same modelling has shown also that there may be occasions when the team simply has to sit tight on the ground for weeks before a fair window opens. "Last year, we had a very good exercise. We went around the world virtually, but with actual conditions," explained Raymond Clerc, mission director. "For the Pacific crossing, it was an easy decision. We had a very good window on 2 May. But when we were on the East Coast of the USA, we had to look to cross the Atlantic and we had to wait 30 days to find a good window. And then it was easy - 3.5 days and we were in Seville, [Spain]," he told BBC News. If the pilots should come unstuck over the Pacific or the Atlantic, they will bail out and use ocean survival gear until they can be picked up by a ship. Of the two protagonists, Andre Borschberg perhaps needs a little more introduction. A trained engineer and former air-force pilot, he has built a career as an entrepreneur in internet technologies. Bertrand Piccard, on the other hand, is well known for his ballooning exploits. Along with Brian Jones, he completed the first non-stop, circumnavigation of the world in 1999, using the Breitling Orbiter 3 balloon. The Piccard name is synonymous with pushing boundaries. Bertrand's father, Jacques Piccard, was the first to reach the deepest place in the ocean (a feat achieved with Don Walsh in the Trieste bathyscaphe in 1960). And his grandfather, Auguste Piccard, was the first person to take a balloon into the stratosphere, in 1931. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The publication of the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland has renewed debate over whether to cull deer. Researchers said ancient woodland was being lost due to "excessive browsing and grazing", mainly by deer. The findings of an inquiry into deer control by a Holyrood committee are due to be revealed later this week. The report from Forestry Commission Scotland said 22.5% (311,153 ha) of Scotland's forests was native woodland. That equates to 4% of the land area of Scotland. It said 42% of the country's native woodlands were in the Highlands. In total, 46% of native woodland was said to be in a "satisfactory" condition for biodiversity. Researchers also found that over the past 40 years, a "significant" amount of ancient woodland in the uplands had been lost. They identified deer as the most widespread threat to native woodland health and regeneration. Mike Daniels, head of land and science at the John Muir Trust, said: "This report confirms what most people who live in, work in or visit Scotland's countryside know - that overgrazing by excessive deer numbers is seriously damaging our native woodlands. "We urgently need to move from a voluntary system of deer management to a sensible, regulated approach before we lose any more of our precious native woodland heritage." Estimates suggest there are more than 750,000 deer in Scotland. The native red and roe deer are by far the most common but there are also smaller populations of Sika and fallow deer. Claims from conservationists that the red deer population has trebled in the past 50 years are disputed by land managers, who argue the impact of Scotland's 6.6 million sheep should not be overlooked. They say there are 2.5 million breeding ewes on the open deer range, mainly in the Highlands. Richard Cooke, chairman of the Association of Deer Management Groups and the Lowland Deer Network Scotland said: "This new piece of work, which we have not yet had time to study, will be extremely helpful in focusing deer management on areas where there are specific issues in relation to deer and native woodlands. "We do believe, however, that there has been a significant turnaround in the last 30 years in the impacts of deer on native woodland and it is too easy to blame deer at every turn when other factors, for example grazing from other herbivores and now widespread tree disease, are also taking their toll." The Scottish government said it was working to balance the needs of sporting estates, which rely on income from deer stalking, with the need to protect the environment. Speaking at the launch of the Native Woodland Survey, the environment minister, Paul Wheelhouse told BBC Scotland: "We do very much value the rural jobs which are provided by sporting estates but we also have to manage the environment with great sensitivity. "There's a number of different drivers for deer management and we need to take a more rounded view of what's required and make sure we get as much collaboration and voluntary action as possible." Owen McKay, from Llandyrnog, near Denbigh, changed his plea to guilty ahead of a trial at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday. At a previous hearing, his wife and her son pleaded guilty to the same charge. The case centres on allegations they ran a cannabis factory at home. They are all due to be sentenced in three weeks' time. McKay's plea was on the basis that he had turned a blind eye to what was going on at the guest house between December 2013 and April 2014, the court heard. Prosecutor Richard Edwards said there had been a strong smell of cannabis in the house but there was no forensic evidence to link the defendant with the drugs, as had been the case with teacher Susan McKay, 57, from Llandyrnog, and Michael McKay, 27, from Huntington, Cheshire. Warnock, 67, has been appointed manager of the Championship strugglers following Paul Trollope's sacking. Bothroyd played under Warnock at Queens Park Rangers and says his former boss is a good appointment. "The Cardiff squad need a firework up their backsides because it's terrible the position they're in at the moment," he said. "Even before I went to Cardiff they were hovering around the play-off spots so to be where they are at the moment is very disappointing. "It's the right time for Warnock to go in there and shake things up." Trollope was dismissed on Tuesday after less than five months in charge, with Cardiff second bottom of the table after two wins from 11 games. Cardiff is Warnock's 15th club as a manger with his last role helping Rotherham avoid relegation from the Championship last season. He turned down the chance to stay at Rotherham who are the only side currently below Cardiff in the table. Warnock spent eight seasons in charge of Sheffield United, has twice managed Crystal Palace and QPR and was also boss of Leeds United. Former England striker Bothroyd, who spent three seasons at Cardiff before Warnock signed him for QPR in 2011, says Warnock has many qualities. "He brings passion, knows the Championship really well and has been successful in the Championship," Bothroyd told BBC Wales Sport. "I think he's respected by a lot of the players he's managed. "He's very honest and doesn't beat around the bush. He'll tell you how it is and players want to know that. "Footballers want someone to give it to them how it is and that's what Neil does. "He knows how to get the best out of people." Warnock will be Cardiff's sixth permanent manager since controversial Malaysian businessman Vincent Tan became club owner in 2010. But Bothroyd says Warnock has experience of dealing with chairmen and club owners and will manage Cardiff on his own terms. "Neil Warnock is an experienced manager and I'm sure he knows how to deal with these sort of people," said Bothroyd, who now plays for Japanese side Jubilo Iwata. "He dealt with Flavio Briatore [former part-owner of QPR] and I don't think anyone's more erratic than him. "I'm sure he'll get along with the management there and I'm sure he's already said what he wants to do and his plan. "Neil is successful when he does things his way and not someone else's." He won easily, beating left-wing candidate Marcelo Freixo by a margin of nearly 20 percentage points. Mr Crivella has promised to bring law and order and basic sanitation to Rio's poorer neighbourhoods. His victory shows the growing influence of evangelical politicians amid voter anger over a corruption scandal. Marcelo Crivella is a bishop in the giant Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, founded by his billionaire uncle, Edir Macedo - the main Pentacostal denomination in Brazil. Although Brazil is the largest Roman Catholic country in the world, the growing evangelical community now accounts for a fifth of the population. During campaigning the 59-year-old faced uproar over comments made in a 1999 book where he described homosexuality as evil and the Roman Catholic church as demonic. But Mr Crivella won easily, successfully distancing himself from the comments and promising to govern for Rio's residents, not the influential church from which he comes. Observers say his victory was also helped by voter anger over a second year of economic recession and the fallout from a huge corruption scandal involving many members of the former government of the left-wing Workers Party. The evangelical message has taken root largely among the poor in Brazil who before would have voted on left-wing lines. Several high profile cases of evangelical leaders caught up in corruption allegations, including the former leader of the lower house of Congress Eduardo Cunha, have yet to damage the movement. Elsewhere in Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo, voters ousted incumbent mayor Fernando Haddad, once considered a rising star of the governing Workers Party, and replacing him with Joao Doria, a wealthy conservative businessman. The Commerce Department said that retail sales rose 0.1% last month, after no change in September, and by 1.7% compared with October 2014. Economists had forecast a rise of 0.3% for October. There was a surprise 0.5% fall in sales at car dealerships, after a 1.4% increase in September. Robust vehicle sales have underpinned overall growth in retail sales for the past two years. Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said: "This is a not a great start to the fourth quarter, which is important as we head toward the holiday shopping season." The amount US shoppers spent online continued to rise, with online sales 7.1% higher than in October last year. However, sales during the run-up to Christmas will prove to be the real test of consumer confidence. Fears about the level of consumer spending prompted department store chain Macy's to cut its profit outlook for the year by 10% on Wednesday. The revision sent the retailer's shares tumbling almost 20% this week. Rival department store operator Nordstrom also cut its full-year forecast on Thursday, resulting in a similar slide in its shares. James Abate, of Centre Funds, said: "People's confidence that the consumer can somehow offset this industrial recession that we've had is really being shaken to the core with the disappointing numbers from some of these major retailers." There was some good news for retailers on Friday, however, as J.C. Penney reported a slightly better than expected 4.8% rise in quarterly sales. The company was boosted by demand for homeware and footwear, and strong sales at Sephora beauty concessions. However, J.C. Penney still posted a loss of $137m for the three months to October, compared with a $188m loss last year, and investors sent the firm's shares down 10%. In a survey of 500 families, Ambitious about Autism found four in 10 children had been informally excluded from school temporarily, which is illegal. The charity said children with autism were being asked to stay at home, miss school trips and activities and to attend lessons on a part-time basis. The government said schools had to follow strict rules over exclusions. The report is based on surveys of 500 families with a child with autism and 1,000 school staff. It also drew on information from local councils. Ambitious about Autism found one-fifth (20%) of the parents questioned said their child had been formally excluded in the past year, while almost four in 10 children (39%) had been subject to informal exclusions. The charity said that as about 71,00 children have the condition, it could mean more than 28,000 children were subject to illegal exclusions across England. Schools in England must follow procedures set out by the Department for Education when excluding pupils, for example, a head teacher must notify parents of the period of the exclusion and the reasons for it. More than half said that they had kept their son or daughter out of school because they were concerned that the school was not able to provide the right support. The report also found that two-fifths of parents had been asked to collect their child at an unscheduled time, while three in 10 said they had been asked by a school to keep their child at home. Ambitious about Autism suggests that schools may be resorting to informal exclusions - which could also mean refusing to allow youngsters to take part in social activities or school trips - because they are unable to support youngsters with autism. While schools have a legal right to formally exclude a child, this should be done only as a last resort, it argues, and plans should be put in place to ensure the pupil is still getting an education. One parent, Clare Moore, said: "I have lost count of the number of times different schools have rung and asked me to collect my son early or keep him at home because they could not support his needs. "It has been really distressing for him because it interrupted his routine and he never knew how long he would be in school for each day. "It has also had a massive impact on our family life because I had to give up work as I had to be available at short notice." Jolanta Lasota, chief executive of Ambitious about Autism, said: "It is shocking so many children with autism are missing out on education. All schools are legally bound to provide quality full-time education to all pupils, including children with autism. "Asking parents to collect their children early or putting them on part-time hours is against the law and fails to address the underlying need for schools to make reasonable adjustments to include children with autism." She said, while many schools do support children with autism to learn, all needed to build on their capacity to do so. A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "All councils must ensure children are educated in a placement which meets their needs and we have been clear that schools have a duty to follow our strict rules when excluding pupils. "We are spending over £3.5m on SEN co-ordinators in schools to provide targeted support to children with SEN, and have given the National Autistic Society £440,000 to provide advice to parents and teachers about how to support autistic children at school." Sergeant Peter Lower, of Hill Path, Banwell, North Somerset, met the teenager as he had a "non-existent sex life" with his wife. At Bristol Crown Court he was convicted of one charge of actual bodily harm. He did not pay the girl but helped her with what proved to be an unsuccessful application to join the police force. The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, later joined the special constabulary. Lower, 52, contacted the girl on an escort website in February 2009 and embarked on a "quite turbulent relationship". He was cleared of three charges of rape, one charge of assault by penetration, one charge of sexual assault, two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a single charge of false imprisonment. The jury was undecided on one further charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two charges of assault by penetration. The Crown Prosecution Service will now consider its position over those three outstanding charges. During his evidence, the custody sergeant with Avon and Somerset Police insisted the woman had encouraged him to engage in "rough sex" during their relationship. Lower told the court: "I loved my wife, I still do, and I thought it was the least complicated way of fulfilling that need. "I had elicited the services of an escort for sex and I will regret that for the rest of my life." He added: "I should have been giving all my attention to my wife and children and I just fell into this abyss of shame and hatred for myself. "I felt compassion towards her. I didn't want a proper relationship with her - it had been toxic. I can only describe it as an addiction." He will be sentenced on a date to be fixed. The supermarket said like-for-like sales excluding fuel fell 2.1% in the 12 weeks to 6 June, slightly better than expectations. Including fuel, sales fell 3.7%. Sainsbury's recently opened its 300th petrol station. Chief executive Mike Coupe said trading conditions were also "being impacted by strong levels of food deflation". The firm said volume and transactions continued to grow, while it also remained committed to delivering its cost savings programme. In midday trade in London, Sainsbury's shares were up by 4.94%. Last month the grocer reported its first full-year loss for 10 years as competition within the UK grocery market continued, and warned the outlook for the rest of the financial year would "remain challenging". Those results were hit by a number of one-off costs, including a write-down in the value of some of its stores. In the previous quarter, sales had fallen by 1.9%, again due to price cuts and food deflation. Sainsbury's is the UK's third largest supermarket chain by annual revenue, after Tesco and Wal-Mart-owned Asda. Supermarkets in the UK are battling to win back market share from cheaper rivals Lidl and Aldi. Aldi recorded a record gain of market share over the last year, while Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons all experienced a decline in sales, according to Kantar Worldpanel. Bryan Roberts, an analyst at Kantor Retail, said: "On the face of it, a sixth consecutive quarter of declining like-for-likes is an obvious disappointment, indicative of the fact that Sainsbury's immunity to the discount menace is well and truly over. "With Morrisons back on the front foot and Tesco and Asda continuing to spar on pricing, things certainly won't be getting any easier. "However, the retailer has made some courageous moves on range, stores and promotion and we continue to assert that the Sainsbury's cloud has more silver lining than some." It has been accused of holding meetings with other LCD makers in a bid to keep prices of the panels at a high level. The fine comes just months after Taiwanese firm AU Optronics was found guilty on similar charges. Toshiba has denied the charges and said it will take necessary legal action to overturn the verdict. "While Toshiba appreciates the jury's time and effort, Toshiba believes that the jury's verdict is in error as to the finding of wrongdoing," the firm said. LCD panels are used in a variety of products, ranging from flat screen TVs to personal computers and laptops. However, some of the world's leading manufacturers of these panels, including Samsung and LG Electronics, were accused of colluding to keep their prices high in a bid to boost profits. Lawmakers argued that such action by the manufacturers had hurt their customers. Last year, seven LCD makers, including South Korea's Samsung, paid more than $500m for partial refunds to retail consumers who bought goods containing the LCD panels made by them in a bid to settle price-fixing claims. The LCD makers had also agreed a $388m deal with commercial firms who bought the panels directly from them. Toshiba was the only firm that decided to contest the claims. "We are very pleased the jury found in favour of the plaintiffs and found that Toshiba violated the law, particularly in light of the government's decision not to criminally prosecute Toshiba for its misconduct," said Richard Heimann, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs. Local councils in England took over responsibility - and funding - for public health last April. The BMJ says Freedom of Information requests reveal a third have stopped at least one public health service, with money being spent on other services such as parks and leisure instead. But the Local Government Association said the report was "scaremongering". A spokesman said: "Spending levels on public health have remained consistent and it is inaccurate and wholly misleading to suggest that local authorities have been siphoning off funds to prop up services elsewhere." The BMJ report says it found "examples of councils reducing funding for a wide range of public health services, including those for substance misuse, sexual health, smoking cessation, obesity, and school nursing". Public health funds had been diverted to other areas including trading standards, citizens' advice bureaux, domestic abuse services, housing, parks and green spaces, and sport and leisure centres, it said. The BMJ contacted all 152 councils to ask for information on all services commissioned and decommissioned since April 2013 and plans for the coming financial year. Of the 143 that replied, almost a third (45) had cut at least one service, while others had reduced funding to other services. Gabriel Scally, a former regional director of public health for the South West and now professor of public health and planning at the University of the West of England, Bristol, told the BMJ: "Of course, local authorities are having their budgets reduced, but the Department of Health has provided that funding to local authorities to spend on public health, not to be siphoned off to prop up other services. "It's robbing Peter to pay Paul. They maintain that NHS funding will be protected, but it is being used for non-NHS purposes." There are also concerns about unfilled director of public health posts, with a quarter vacant or staffed by temporary directors, the BMJ reports. But a spokesman for the Local Government Association, which represents councils, defended funds being used in different ways. He said: "Councils are investing just as much as previous arrangements in public health services, and indeed are supporting wider determinants of health too. "Many services - such as housing, planning, leisure and recreation, and environmental services - are crucial in keeping people fit and healthy. "We are convinced that the most effective use of resources to improve public health is to combine the public health professional workforce, with its specialist expertise and intelligence, with mainstream council plans and services. "The key is to develop services that are locally appropriate, efficient and effective in improving outcomes." He added: "Councils must account each quarter for their public health spend across 18 areas. The rules are clear and involve sign off by the director of finance or chief executive." Duncan Selbie, chief executive at Public Health England, said: "We have been perfectly clear that the public health grant is there for improving the public's health and the conditions describing what this means preclude substitution and savings towards balancing the books." He added: "We are not anxious about local government taking their new public health responsibilities extremely seriously - we know they are. "Local authorities don't have to tell us or ask permission as to how they spend their public health grant, but they will be judged on their outcomes." Dr Janet Atherton, president of the Association of Directors of Public Health said "Public health responsibilities have transferred into local government at a particularly challenging time financially for councils. "This makes it more important than ever that the ring-fenced public health grant is used well to achieve the best health outcomes and value for money." She added: "The pattern of spend within the public health grant should rightly change over time, by decommissioning services that are not achieving good outcomes and reinvesting in higher priority areas." But she said it was important to fill vacant director posts. Children's services in Birmingham have consistently been rated "inadequate" by Ofsted. At a briefing, Brigid Jones, who oversees children and family services, said the council had "come a long way". However, she said she did not expect children's services to be "fit for purpose" for an unannounced Ofsted inspection expected by April 2016. At the social care review into the council's three-year plan into children's services, Ms Jones said: "We have come a long way in the last year but we can't underestimate how far we've still got to go. "Children are definitely safer than they were a year ago but there still not as safe as we would like them to be." The new plan, which will cost £94m over three years, was announced in April. New IT and upgrades to existing systems are to be introduced, including mobile devices for all social workers. Under the plans, the number of front-line social worker posts will increase from 511 to almost 600 by March 2017. The authority has struggled to recruit enough social workers over recent years, particularly those with substantial experience. A serious case review said workers, together with other agencies, "collectively failed to prevent" the death of Keanu Williams, in 2011. Ms Jones said the recruitment of social workers had gone up but they still needed more. She added around a third of the council's staff were agency workers, which it hoped to get down to 15%. The brewer has raised £213m from TSG Consumer Partners, for a 22.3% stake. The deal will see about £100m paid out to the brewer's co-founders, a further £100m go into the business and the rest used to buy shares from early investors. BrewDog earlier relied on crowdfunded cash and has 55,000 small investors. Founders James Watt and Martin Dickie had previously said they would never sell to a multinational beer maker, but Mr Watt told the BBC selling a minority stake to the US firm would "give us the fire power to compete globally". Close to £13m will be available to smaller investors who responded to BrewDog's earlier crowdfunding efforts. They will this week get the chance to sell shares, but can only sell up to 15% of their holdings, up to a maximum of 40 shares. Mr Watt rejected previous claims from the UK Crowdfunding Association that investment risks were not made clear to online investors. "Everyone who has invested in earlier rounds, at a much lower equity, will see massive returns. They will do better than any FTSE tracker fund." BrewDog grew rapidly from its founding in Fraserburgh in 2007, with a £20,000 bank loan, and opened its first pub in Aberdeen in 2010. It had revenues of £71m last year and returned a pre-tax profit of more than £7m. The private equity cash comes at a time of further expansion for the firm, which is building a new brewery in Columbus, Ohio, and hopes to launch in Australia and Asia after that. Despite global growth plans, Mr Watt said BrewDog remained committed to its Aberdeenshire headquarters. He said the brewer's appeal to die-hard beer fans would not be diluted by "mainstream" financing or the company's rapid growth. "Our appeal to drinkers isn't about scale, it's about passion and values. It's about living or dying by what goes in to every glass or bottle," he said.

The plan includes lowering the age limit for presidential candidates, creating a strong vice-presidency and extending the presidential term. The opposition sees the vote as a move to cement the powers of the first family, with Mr Aliyev's wife and 19-year-old son seen as potential heirs. The ruling party dismisses the claims. The constitutional changes would also create other vice-presidential posts and enable the president to dissolve parliament at any time. The referendum comes after dozens of opposition activists were arrested in the oil-rich former Soviet state. One of President Aliyev's main opponents, Ilgar Mammadov, leader of the pro-Western opposition party ReAL, and other pro-democracy activists are still in jail. "With this referendum he [President Aliyev] wipes out all obstacles in the way of his family members to come to power," says Ali Kerimli, chairman of the opposition Popular Front Party. But Aydin Mirzezadeh of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party says the authorities "have no such plan". "These are rumours and fabrications about members of the ruling family," he told the BBC. However, many citizens think differently. They watch state-controlled TV, where politicians suggest the first lady as the most suitable candidate for the vice-presidency. "We are establishing a monarchy," one Baku resident told the BBC. Mr Aliyev himself was caught on camera smiling and clapping when a cotton worker suggested that 19-year-old Heydar Aliyev be president - but only after "a 90-year-long rule of President Aliyev". Azerbaijan - which hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and its first Formula 1 race this year - has seen one family in power for 23 years since 1993. Ilham Aliyev in effect inherited power from his late father Heydar Aliyev in 2003. If these changes are implemented, and he is re-elected in 2018 elections, Mr Aliyev will be able stay in power until at least 2025. That is because one of the changes is to extend the presidential term from five to seven years. Corruption, economic difficulties and job losses as a result of decreasing oil revenues have increased dissatisfaction with the government. A Yes vote in the referendum will give President Aliyev more power to control discontent. There have been protests with slogans "No to monarchy!" in past weeks and dozens of people were arrested. Thousands attended the protests that were estimated to be the biggest in recent years. The Holywood, County Down, golfer became the first UK player to win back-to-back majors after his victory at Valhalla, Kentucky, on Sunday. At one stage of his final round, McIlroy was three shots behind the leader. In a joint statement Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness congratulated him. "Rory has played stunning golf to claim his fourth major title," they said. "He is a sporting sensation and joins an impressive list of champions to win back-to-back majors. "We are incredibly proud to watch as he writes his story of golfing greatness and we look forward to the next chapter as these victories propel him towards being the golfer of his generation." Sports Minister Carál Ní Chuilín said McIlroy was in "dominant form". "He is an extraordinary local sportsman who is playing his way into the history books," she said. "As he enjoys his latest tournament win, I wish him continued success in his quest for golf's career grandslam." Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said McIlroy had taken another step towards greatness and had "once again shown the world what is great about Northern Ireland golf". "It should make us very proud that six of the last 19 major championships have been won by golfers from Northern Ireland," she said. "This will give golfers of all abilities even more reason to travel to Northern Ireland to find out for themselves what makes our golf courses the home of major champions." Ulster Unionist sports spokesman Michael McGimpsey also praised the Holywood golfer. "The whole of Northern Ireland will enjoy watching this 25-year-old write his own scripts in a fabulous future for many years to come," he said. "Rory's talent is recognised on the world stage, he is the world number one, he is one of the most popular golfers on the circuit, a credit to his family and a great ambassador for Northern Ireland." SDLP assembly member Karen McKevitt said that McIlroy's victory sealed his status as a legend of the game. "I, like many others, stayed up until the small hours of the morning to watch Rory claim his second major of the summer as he drove, chipped and putted his way to victory in difficult circumstances at the US PGA Championship," she said. "As Rory reinforces his return to the world number one spot I have no doubt that his dominance of the sport will see golfers flock to courses across the north." McIlroy's victory has also been celebrated at his home club in Holywood. Club general manager Paul Gray described the win as "legendary stuff". "To see someone who has grown up here on our own course do well is fantastic," he said. "To do what Rory has done is hard to believe, at times you have to pinch yourself." When Joe Furness, 21, decided on a last-minute trip to see friends, the lowest rail fare he found was £78.50. But after an internet search the trainee marine officer found the same journey, including a 12-hour stopover on the Spanish island, for £26.98. He said it showed train travel in the UK had become "ridiculously expensive". Mr Furness, from Oldham, is a trainee cadet with shipping firm Maersk and is studying at South Shields Marine College. As well as the flights, he also spent £7.50 on a hire car, which he slept in, and splashed out on a £4 cocktail - meaning his entire trip was £40 cheaper than taking the train. By train: By air: Mr Furness admitted the trip was "no good for anyone who needs to do a commute". "But it does show how cheap it can be to travel and have a bit of fun at the same time," he added. "I had a great time, saw a festival, drove around the island for a bit and met loads of people. "Trains in the UK have become ridiculously expensive. I've never once got on a train and got off at the other end thinking I've had value for money." Mr Furness made a video of his trip, which took a total of 22 hours and consisted of a flight out of Newcastle to Menorca with Thomas Cook on 23 June for £15.99. His return flight to London Gatwick the next day cost £10.99 with the same airline. This is not the first time Mr Furness claims to have found cheaper flights than trains. He said he recently travelled from Newcastle to Manchester via Geneva by air at a cost of £39 when the cheapest train ticket he could find would have cost £64. He added: "I use comparison sites to find the cheapest flight from my departure point to anywhere in the world. Then find the cheapest from there to my destination. "This time I found it was way cheaper to go via Menorca. It took a lot longer, but I think it's still better than sitting on a train for four hours." Crusaders, who are seven points clear at the Premiership summit, make the trip to Dungannon Swifts while the Blues host bottom club Portadown. "Linfield have been excellent, they are working hard and are chasing us down," said Baxter. "There is a big run in to the finishing line and we'll see who is stronger." He added: "Being seven points clear is a nice position to be in and we've worked very hard since the start of the year. "We've led from the start of the season and that's a hard place to be because everyone is coming after you." Linfield followed up their Co Antrim Shield final success over the Crues with a 2-0 away win over struggling Carrick Rangers last Saturday. The Blues will be expected to pick up three points against a Ports side sitting 12 points adrift at the basement. "We've been on a good run and it is vital that we keep the momentum going," said Linfield manager David Healy. "But the Ports are fighting for their lives and just like Carrick we expect another tough test on Friday night." Third-placed Cliftonville saw their faint title hopes suffer a massive blow last weekend with a 1-0 defeat at Ballinamallard. Reds defender Chris Ramsey was sent-off at Ferney Park and he is suspended for the Solitude clash with Glentoran. The Mallards will hope to build on the surprise win over Cliftonville when they take on Glenavon at Mourneview Park. There are countless instances of artists destroying their own work. If Louise Bourgeois disliked a small sculpture she'd been working on, she would simply shove it off the end of her kitchen table and watch it smash to smithereens. Francis Bacon famously destroyed all his early work, and an impecunious Picasso would paint over pictures he thought unsuccessful because he didn't have the money to buy a fresh canvas. When I visited the Belgian painter Luc Tuymans in his Antwerp studio earlier this year he told me that his $1m-plus paintings only ever took a day to paint. That is his way. When he returns in the morning he either decides to send the finished painting to his dealer or destroy it. Fair enough. But that's tantamount to trashing a million bucks! My favourite story in the long history of art destruction concerns American pop/conceptual artist Robert Rauschenberg. Early in his career, inspired by the work of Marcel Duchamp, he decided he wanted to test the boundaries of what could be deemed a work of art. Could a work of art be created, he wondered, through the act of erasure? He started out by rubbing out one of his own drawings. It didn't work. He felt that the destruction of a not very important work by a then not very important artist didn't really test his idea to a degree where an artwork could conceivably be made. Rauschenberg decided the only thing to do was to destroy a significant work of art by a significant artist. So, he spent the next few days plucking up the courage to visit studio of one the world's most famous artists in the 1950s, an artist whom Rauschenberg held in very high esteem. He knocked on Willem de Kooning's studio door and was welcomed by the stern face of the Dutch-American master who wanted to know why this young buck was bothering him. He wasn't very impressed when Rauschenberg nervously explained that he had come to ask for an original De Kooning artwork to be given to him free of charge and on the understanding it was going to be destroyed. De Kooning growled, said he didn't approve, and then acquiesced on the grounds that young artists should be allowed to experiment. He pointed to a few artworks scattered around the studio and told Rauschenberg to pick one. Which he did. Initially he went for a pencil drawing, but decided against it. Too easy, he thought. Instead he chose drawing that had traces of ink and maybe even paint. Much better. Much harder to erase. Rauschenberg then took it away and laboriously worked on the act of destruction, eventually erasing all visible traces of De Kooning's image. He then took the now blank paper to Jasper Johns, his great friend and fellow artist and asked him to create a frame for the work. Johns did as he was asked and produced a label for the obliterated artwork which read: ERASED de KOONING ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG 1953 And lo and behold Rauschenberg had successfully made an artwork by destroying an artwork. The framed piece of paper/artwork is now in the collection of America's prestigious San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The St Helens thrower beat Adrian Lewis 7-3 before thumping six-time champion Phil Taylor 7-2. World number six Chisnall is now two points from the top-four spot he needs to reach London's O2 Arena on 18 May. Michael van Gerwen remains two points clear at the top after beating fellow Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld 7-2. Five-time world champion Van Barneveld, who celebrated his 50th birthday on Thursday, looked out of sorts and drops to fifth in a tight table. Second-placed Peter Wright kept the pressure on pacesetter Van Gerwen with a comfortable victory over James Wade, who slipped to the bottom of the table. Before his loss to Chisnall, 16-time world champion Taylor won seven straight legs to beat Scot Gary Anderson 7-4 to remain in the hunt for a play-off spot in his final season before retirement.

"I got word at the end of last year that I wouldn't be kept on and that was it. "I had to phone my agent and tell him to start looking for something. "There's no hard feelings. Glasgow will always be special to be my because of the boys I played with and because my two girls were born there. They're little Scottish lassies now." Strauss' journey to Scotland began in Cape Town, where he surfed and dearly wanted to spend his life as a veterinary surgeon. Then his path took him to France as a young rugby player, then back to South Africa, first with Boland and then, his big break, with the Golden Lions. He was a bruising number eight, a guy who liked to get on the ball and carry, who liked to bring a huge physical dimension to proceedings. He could lead as well. He wasn't long in the door at Scotstoun when Gregor Townsend made him a vice-captain to Al Kellock. That was the impact he had. It wasn't just his rugby that stood out, it was his personality. Strauss told a story back then that endeared him to everyone, a story against himself in many ways, one that punctured a hole in the image of him as a fearless warrior. It was the day in South Africa when he'd planned to propose to his girlfriend, Tami-Lee. He had it all prepared; the car journey to the outskirts of Johannesburg, the hot-air balloon at Meerhof by the Hartbeespoort Dam, the moment when he took the ring from his pocket as they soared majestically over the Magallies River Valley. As the balloon went up, Strauss felt his nerve plummet in the opposite direction, not because of the enormous significance of the proposal but because of the enormous distance he was from the ground. "I lost my bottle," he laughed. Once he returned to earth, the question was popped. Tami-Lee said yes and Sadie and Josie are the little Glaswegians he talks about now. "At the end of the season, so many players were moving on from Glasgow and we had so many farewell dinners," he says. "It just felt like you were mouthing-off cliches, but it's true, I've loved my time there. When I first arrived, I couldn't believe the humility of the group and how everyone was so down to earth. I can honestly say that it's the tightest-knit group I've ever worked with. "Coming into the club at first, the one thing they hammered home was about how close they were as people. I don't know if my new club will be the same or different, but I'll definitely miss that bond. "I don't tend to think about things until they smack me in the face and I never gave any thought to leaving until I was told it was happening. "I'm sad about going but looking forward to new challenges. It's good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes." Strauss is back in the Scotland team to play Italy on Saturday. That'll mark the end-point of his 17-week journey back from a lacerated kidney sustained in Paris in the Six Nations. His form pre-championship hadn't been stellar, but he found something in those early games against Ireland and France that marked him out as a man reborn, a player who was once again delivering powerhouse ball-carrying performances that shot him to prominence in the first place. The cruelty was that the injury seemed like nothing to him at the time. "It was tough," he says. "I had those two starts and you feel like you're getting a head of steam going. "Then I got the injury and it was a weird one. I felt like I'd just broken a rib and didn't think anything was wrong beyond that. It was a freak accident. "Rest is the only thing that would fix it. You know, in weeks like this in Singapore, it looks like you've just popped back into the mix, but there's a lot of hard work that goes into coming back from injury. "It's a bit tedious. The first few days are gut-wrenching. 'Why did this happen to me?' But it's like anything in life, there's no use crying over spilt milk. There's nothing you can do about it." Sale finished a dismal 10th in the English Premiership last season. As such, they're a club that just hangs about in the league without doing a whole lot. Their one title was 11 years ago, when they were inspired by Jason Robinson, Mark Cueto and chums. Charlie Hodgson and Richard Wigglesworth were in that side. So too, Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe, Sebastien Chabal and Jason White. Changed days now. "They're a proud club and I hope I can bring something to the place," says Strauss. "It's a great league and they're making some good signings, so there's a plan there." That's for the future though. For now, it's all about this tour and trying to nail down the jersey that he laid claim to in the opening games of the Six Nations. On Wednesday morning, Scotland trained in the most humid conditions that any of them had ever experienced in their playing lives. People continue to look at Strauss in wonder that he can get through the stifling heat without taking a blade to his beard to give his face a break. He's insistent - the beard is staying where it is. The challenge for Saturday is to make sure his place in Townsend's pecking order remains every bit as secure. The Rangers midfielder was given until Wednesday to respond after he was accused of placing 44 bets on games between 1 July and 15 September. But he has asked for an extension to examine the paperwork in the case against him. The 34-year-old's request is expected to be considered by the SFA's judicial panel on Thursday. A hearing date was set for 27 October when the charge was announced last week. SFA disciplinary rules prohibit players, coaches, club officials and referees in Scotland from betting on football anywhere in the world. Barton was due to return to training on Monday after serving a month-long club suspension following an internal dispute. But Rangers announced on Sunday that the player has been told to stay away for another seven days after launching a "formal disciplinary procedure". Manager Mark Warburton's media conference on Wednesday was halted briefly by the club's PR advisor Jim Traynor after repeated questions on the Barton situation. Warburton would only say: "I'm not going to make comment on it, I haven't made comment on it. It's being dealt with by the powers that be at the club. "When there's news it will come out, but until then there's no comment." 13 June 2016 Last updated at 07:53 BST The choice? Whether the UK should stay in - or leave - a club of 28 countries in Europe called the European Union, or EU. The decision is up to adults, but whatever is decided will affect your futures too.

The core consumer price index (CPI), which includes oil but not fresh food prices, declined 0.1% from a year ago - the first drop since April 2013. The headline consumer price index rose 0.2% from a year ago, but remained flat from the previous month. Deflation fears have plagued Japan, putting pressure on policymakers. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Japan's central bank have pledged to get the economy out of the deflation it has been battling for years. Even though the fall in prices last month was expected, economists said the latest reading would result in the Bank of Japan stepping up its pace of easing in October. "CPI data continues to show a weak acceleration, which suggests that the Japanese central bank may need to do more," said Bernard Aw, market strategist at trading firm IG. "Even with this aggressive pace of asset buying, it is still nowhere near its 2% inflation target," he added, referring to the central bank's goal to reach that target in the first half of next year. Backing that view, Marcel Thieliant, economist at Capital Economics added that on the whole the economy was struggling to return to growth after shrinking in the second quarter. Japanese Economics Minister Akira Amari told the media on Friday that it was up to the central bank to take appropriate steps on monetary policy after the data came out. Ramirez, 26, has scored nine goals in 35 games since joining from Southampton, initially on loan before signing permanently last summer. However, the Uruguay international has been linked with a move to Leicester. "It's just rumours. I can't understand why he wouldn't (still be at the club)," Karanka told BBC Tees. "He's been an important player here in the last year, he's really pleased to be here." Boro, who have already signed Rudy Gestede from Aston Villa, have been strongly linked with re-signing striker Patrick Bamford from Chelsea. Fans held up offensive banners during a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig and lit flares, while there were reports of crowd trouble outside the Westfalenstadion. The German Football Association (DFB) said Dortmund "needs to be sanctioned". The club has until Monday to accept the proposal or reject it in which case the decision will be taken by DFB's court. Dortmund had received a suspended sentence last summer for similar offences and the the DFB said there had been trouble at three other games this season - against Mainz, Hoffenheim, and the away game in Leipzig. Banners at Saturday's game attacked Leipzig, owned by energy drink makers Red Bull, as well as their sports director Ralf Rangnick and Red Bull owner Dieter Mateschitz. "Slaughter the bulls," read one. Dortmund has already promised to crack down on fan violence and the club said it "deeply regrets" last weekend's violence that also left police officers and a police dog injured.

The future of Plas Madoc Leisure Centre in Wrexham was discussed at a public meeting on Thursday evening. Campaigner Darrell Wright said a committee would be formed to explore running it as a social enterprise. Wrexham council has agreed to postpone plans to demolish it to give volunteers time to come up with an action plan. The authority has to find savings of £45m over five years and says it can no longer afford to run the facility. Mr Wright said: "The meeting went well and there were about 120 people here [at Air Products Social Club in Acrefair]. "It was agreed to form a small committee to take it forward and explore the funding. "The staff have been told Plas Madoc will close on the 28th April, and we won't be able to do anything about that, but the council has agreed to mothball it until 1 October. "We're hopeful that if we can get funding in place we can open some time well prior to 1 October." Speaking before the meeting local AM Ken Skates, one of the community group leaders, said the battle to save the centre had been "divisive and heated" because people cared passionately about it. "Our vision is to secure its future and ensure it rediscovers its rightful place at the heart of the Clwyd South community," he said. The group said community ownership of leisure services would enable savings to be made where councils were unable to find them, and would offer opportunities to bid for capital funding which was not available to the local authority, The agent, codenamed Stakeknife, has been named by the media as west Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci. He has denied he was an Army agent. Scappaticci has been accused of involvement in up to 50 murders during Northern Ireland's Troubles. BBC News NI reported last year that detectives from outside Northern Ireland would conduct the investigation. The PSNI's chief constable has confirmed the decision with the Northern Ireland Policing Board. The families of a number of Stakeknife's alleged victims said they did not trust the PSNI to carry out the investigation, and they took legal action in a bid to prevent it from doing so. At a court hearing in Belfast on Friday, a barrister for the PSNI said Chief Constable George Hamilton has concluded that his preferred option is to employ external police officers for the task. The investigation is expected to be the largest ever in Northern Ireland into the activities of a single individual. The estimated cost of the inquiry is £5m a year, and it is likely to take at least five years. Some of the relatives who took the legal action were in court. They included the daughter of 34-year-old mother-of-three Caroline Moreland, who the IRA shot dead in 1994, claiming was an informer. Her daughter, Shauna, welcomed the PSNI's move, but said the families wanted assurances that the investigating team will not report to the chief constable. "This is an important first step, but we don't have any details about who exactly will carry out this investigation, or if they will report to the PSNI," she said. "We don't think the PSNI should have any role." Liam Diver, the families' legal representative, said: "We don't know the actual structure of the investigation team they are going to put in place, and the oversight of that team. "If there is to be an element of involvement from the PSNI in an oversight role, we would not see that as wholly independent." Questions remain over who will pay for the investigation if the PSNI requires additional funding. The chief constable has had talks with the Department of Justice and the Northern Ireland Office, but so far neither has given a commitment to foot the bill. New Zealand researchers say bricks with weapons have steadily become more commonplace and are now included in 30% of Lego kits. The study said Lego reflected a broader trend in children's entertainment. Lego says weapons are always used for a wider purpose such as saving the world, and are part of a child's development. In a peer-reviewed study published by the online journal PLOS ONE, researchers from the University of Canterbury concluded that Lego "showed significant exponential increases of violence over time", with a higher proportion of weapons appearing among Lego's building blocks and themed kits. Lego's first weapons were issued in 1978 when a castle kit included swords, axes and lances. "The Lego company's products are not as innocent as they used to be," lead researcher Christoph Bartneck said. "The violence in Lego products seems to have gone beyond just enriching game play," he added. An analysis of Lego catalogues from 1973 to 2015 found the scenarios depicted had also become more violent, with 40% of all pages containing some type of violence such as shooting or threatening behaviour. "To catch the attention of their customers, toy manufacturers are similarly locked in a metaphorical arms race for exciting new products," the study said. Lego spokesman Troy Taylor said the company's products promoted a range of play activities such as construction, fantasy and conflict. "As with other play types, conflict play is a natural part of a child's development," he was quoted as saying by AFP news agency. "We always try and use humour where possible as it helps tone down the level of conflict," he added. Lego almost went bankrupt in 2003-4 as electronic games threatened its future. The Denmark-based company tried to reinvent itself by embracing popular culture, selling themed kits linked to popular movie franchises such as Star Wars, Batman and Harry Potter. The result has been 11 straight years of growth, with the company announcing earlier this year that net profit in 2015 soared 31% to $1.4bn (almost £1bn). The drugs were found during a search of a car in the Trench Road area. About £10,400 in cash was also seized during the search of a van on the Toombridge Bypass at Hillhall Road. The searches took place on Thursday night. Both men, aged 25 and 40, are being questioned by police. Det Insp Tom McClure said: "We remain committed to making Northern Ireland a hostile environment for those individuals and groups who are involved in major drugs crime. "We will continue to work to identify them, disrupt their activities, arrest them and place them before the courts. We will also seek to ensure that they do not derive any material benefit from their illegal activities." Government forces, backed by Russian troops, have pounded rebel-held parts of Aleppo, targeting supply lines. Meanwhile, fighting further north between the self-styled Islamic State (IS) group and other rebels is said to have displaced 30,000 people. The violence is overshadowing the resumption of peace talks in Geneva. Earlier, the main Syrian opposition group said it was ready to talk to members of the government who had not been involved in the killings - but not with President Assad himself. Government delegates arrive in Geneva on Friday. They have said Mr Assad's fate remains non-negotiable, leaving little hope of compromise or concession. Assad buoyant amid peace talks and polls What's left of Syria? Who is Bashar al-Assad? Syrian government war planes, helicopter gunships and artillery bombarded rebel-held parts of Aleppo on Thursday, activists said. Fighting was said to be fiercest to the north of the city, along a key route out of the rebel-held area. The government offensive on Aleppo has been under way for the last two weeks, supported by Russian air strikes, Iranian Revolutionary Guards personnel and fighters from Lebanon's Hezbollah movement. Further north, militants from the so-called Islamic State were battling to regain momentum by seizing several villages close to the Turkish border. Human Rights Watch said the fighting had displaced at least 30,000 people in just 48 hours and accused Turkish guards of shooting at those who tried to cross the border into Turkey to seek protection. The group called on Turkey to open its borders to those fleeing, saying some families had been forced to "dig ditches" to try and hide from IS and other militants. The spike in violence has alarmed the international community who helped broker the 27 February cessation of hostilities. One senior US administration official said all sides should follow through on their commitment "to refrain from any further destabilising actions." European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called for the "respect, consolidation, and expansion" of the truce. Russian President Vladimir Putin - an ally of President Assad - said he was watching the situation in Aleppo closely and voiced hope that the peace talks would lead to a new Syrian constitution and an early election. UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura, who is mediating the talks in Geneva, on Wednesday warned of an urgent need for the government and opposition to take steps towards a political transition. He said he wanted this - the third round of "proximity" talks since January - to be "quite concrete" with both sides agreeing on a political process that a UN Security Council resolution passed in December, which envisages the formation of a transitional government, a new constitution and elections. The veteran Swedish-Italian diplomat also stressed that it was very important that the cessation of hostilities continued and that humanitarian aid was allowed to reach every Syrian. Sunil ­Tripathi, 22, was identified by a forensic dental exam, but his cause of death has not been determined. Members of a university rowing team found the body on Tuesday evening, a month after Tripathi went missing. He has been described as the other victim of the bombings after he was wrongly identified a suspect. On Thursday, the Tripathi family said in a statement they felt "indescribable grief", but were grateful for the outpouring of support. Mr Tripathi, a Brown University student on leave, was last seen in his apartment in Providence on 16 March. His family had been searching for him with help from the FBI and Brown students. Brown University's rowing coach called police after spotting the body floating in the Providence River. On Monday social media website Reddit issued a public apology for its coverage of the Boston bombings after it wrongly named Tripathi and other people as suspects. His sister, Sangeeta, told the BBC of her family's anxiety at how fast "completely unsubstantiated claims were spreading". She described how media surrounded their family home after her brother was wrongly named. Figures showed a 41% reduction in 2016 compared to "unacceptable" numbers in 2015 - including a 75% reduction in April 2016 compared to April 2015. But there was a slight increase of 6% in April 2017 compared with the previous year. A machine to reduce the risk by cutting bracken is being trialled by Welsh fire services on Wednesday. In real terms, the 2017 increase amounted to about 70 more recorded incidents in April 2017 than April 2016, but the Wales Arson Reduction Board said the period was much dryer this year. There were 940 - or 44% - fewer fires in 2017 compared to 2015. The board said engaging with young people had been key to reducing numbers, and it also worked with landowners and farmers to try to reduce the number of illegal controlled burns or ones which accidentally got out of hand. The task force said it was determined to continue in its efforts over the summer months - and asked people to be mindful of the dangers of small fires spreading and causing damage to land, wildlife and property. Mick Crennell, chair of the Wales Strategic Arson Reduction Board, said: "This type of incident can sometimes seem like a bit of fun to young people, but we've worked hard to highlight the potential risks. "We recognise the value of encouraging our communities to work with us to share responsibility and encourage a cultural shift across Wales so that arson is seen as socially unacceptable by all." Following the work with landowners and farmers, a machine which reduces the risk of upland wildfires by cutting bracken is being trialled by fire services in Powys. Increasing masses of bracken negatively affect agriculture, rural water supplies and are a "major contributory factor" to triggering wildfires, fire services said. It will be tested by the All Wales Joint Arson Group at Twmpath, near Builth Wells. Mydrian Harries of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: "Being able to utilise the equipment to cut fire breaks in the bracken would enable landowners to reduce the amount of dry hillside vegetation and ultimately reduce the risk of wildfires on their land". 9 April 2014 Last updated at 15:00 BST Around 20 children from the Cedars Upper engineering club along with teacher Paul Simmonds, made the weather balloon. The project started as a way to get children more excited and involved in engineering. The balloon rose about 23 miles up into the air, before popping - when a parachute safely brought the camera attached back to Earth. Teacher Paul Simmonds said: "We've achieved what we wanted to do and got some awesome pictures rather than breaking any new scientific ground. "The pupils who took part were overwhelmed by the success of the project and I'm now working on a film to show to the rest of the school and inspire them - and hopefully others as well." The man, who lives on Merseyside, used the online encyclopaedia to mock the victims of the 1989 Liverpool v Nottingham Forest FA Cup semi-final. An inquiry was launched in April when it emerged Whitehall computers were used to make the disparaging entries. The edits included the phrase "Blame Liverpool fans". The 24-year-old junior administrator, who was born in London but lives in Liverpool, has been dismissed for gross misconduct. His sacking follows an investigation by The Daily Telegraph which identified him through his internet activity. The man altered the Wikipedia page for Hillsborough in 2012, including one entry that parodied the Liverpool fans' anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" by changing it to "You'll Never Walk Again". A Commons statement from Cabinet Officer minister Francis Maude said: "I was deeply distressed that, at a time when the hearings of the Hillsborough inquests were unfolding, the Civil Service was brought into disrepute by these edits. Profiles of all those who died "Our position from the very start has been that the amendments made to Wikipedia are sickening. The behaviour is in complete contravention of the Civil Service code and every canon of civilised conduct. It is entirely unacceptable." The department had feared the length of time since the amendments, which were made in 2009 and 2012, would make it impossible to identify those responsible. However, Mr Maude said the investigation had not been able to identify the culprit of the 2009 Wikipedia edits, owing to technical obstacles. The minister praised the contribution of journalist Oliver Duggan who broke the story for the Liverpool Echo on 25 April and passed on his research to the Cabinet Office. "That information has proved extremely helpful and provided a significant investigative lead," he said. Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said the families had agreed that the perpetrator's name should not be made public. "Social media can be very unpleasant. He has been punished and, as far as we are concerned, that is the end of it," she added. Barry Devonside, who lost his 18-year-old son Christopher in the tragedy, said: "He got what he deserved. "He clearly had his own reason for doing it but he they were far, far removed from anything thinking individual who has got a perspective or empathy for those that were killed at Hillsborough. "I suppose given the fact that he worked and lived in Liverpool he should have had an understanding. I would have expected a youngster to have understood what Hillsborough was about but clearly he had a different agenda." More than 13m people used the Speaking Clock in its first year from 24 July 1936 and even now it enjoys about 12m calls a year. Speaking Clock No 1 and No 2 can be seen at the British Horological Institute in Upton Hall in Nottinghamshire. Sara Mendes da Costa, the fourth voice of the clock, will also be at the show. Dudley Giles, chief executive of the BHI, said: "The Speaking Clock is a Great British institution. [The first clock] was in service on 24 July, 1936 and it remained in service for 27 years. "It was then replaced with the next generation which used quartz technology and the voice of Pat Simmons." Source: The BHI Ethel Cain was selected as the first voice, from a pool of 15,000 telephone operators who worked for the GPO. It was only after she had recorded the script - "At the third stroke, it will be... precisely" - that they noticed a slight speech impediment. The microphone had picked up a slight whistle at the end of each her words and it took a year to remove from sections of the glass discs used in the machine. Ms Mendes da Costa won a Children in Need competition in 2006, succeeding Brian Cobby to become only the fourth long-term voice of the clock. Several celebrities have recorded the time for the clock for charity. The exhibition is held at Upton Hall, near Newark, throughout the weekend. Croft missed most of last season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. And after returning to action last month, the 28-year-old will be out until late November after knee surgery. "Tom had a small operation to take a screw out of his knee that was holding some bits together," said Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill. "The screw is irritating the joint and it won't settle, so he had that taken out and he will probably be six weeks away from playing now." In 2012, Croft - who has been capped 36 times by England - was out for eight months with a serious neck injury. Mr Li is the former deputy party boss of Sichuan province, and is charged with bribery and abuse of power. He is among several men linked to Mr Zhou who have been arrested in an ongoing anti-corruption campaign. Mr Zhou himself has been charged with bribery, and is so far the most senior official in China caught since the crackdown was launched in 2012. Mr Li did not raise objections to any of the charges laid out in court on Thursday, according to the Xianning city court's statements on its Weibo account. It gave no details on his alleged crimes. The investigation into Mr Li's case began in 2012 - last year he was stripped of his post and party membership. From 1998 onwards, Mr Li had overseen the development of Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province which served as Mr Zhou's powerbase. Mr Li quickly rose through the ranks under Mr Zhou, who was at that time the party boss for Sichuan. China's President Xi Jinping launched a corruption crackdown in 2012, vowing to catch both "tigers" and "flies", in a reference to top and low-ranking officials. It has investigated thousands of individuals in government and the private sector, including those who have fled the country. It caught 680 fugitives between July and December 2014 under its extradition programme Operation Fox Hunt. On Wednesday, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released a list of names of 100 fugitives sought under a new programme codenamed Sky Net, which was launched earlier this month. The names have been given to Interpol. Nearly half of the people used to be heads of government departments, enterprises and public institutions. Others include former police officers and accountants, reported Xinhua. The state news agency said that 40 of the people on the list had fled to the US, 26 to Canada, and the rest had travelled to other countries including New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and Singapore. State media said Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani had been convicted of security offences and financial crimes. He was accused of inciting unrest after Iran's disputed elections in 2009 and was arrested on his return from exile in the UK in 2012. Unofficial reports say the sentence is 15 years although this has not been confirmed. Mehdi Hashemi has 20 days to appeal against the sentence, a judicial official said. The sentence is also said to include an undisclosed fine and a ban from holding public office. He went on trial last August at Iran's Revolutionary Court, which usually hears cases involving security offences. His trial was held behind closed doors so the exact charges are unknown. The 45-year-old was originally detained and questioned after returning to Tehran in September 2012. He was bailed after nearly three months in custody but later rearrested. Former President Rafsanjani's family came under scrutiny during the 2009 elections after he backed Mir Hossein Mousavi, the reformist who failed in challenging President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Critics view Mehdi Hashemi's sentence as an attempt by hardliners to damage his father's reputation ahead of parliamentary elections next February. Mr Rafsanjani, who was one of the founders of the Islamic Republic, was president of Iran from 1989 to 1997. The 80-year-old fell out of favour in recent years although his support helped reformist Hassan Rouhani win the presidential election in 2013. Last week, Mr Rafsanjani was heavily defeated by hardliner Ayatollah Mohammad Yazdi in a vote to become the new head of the Assembly of Experts - Iran's top clerical body. His future has been the subject of speculation after McLaren boss Ron Dennis said last November that they had discussed the idea of a sabbatical. After his first test in the new McLaren, Alonso said he would "of course" see the season out, adding: "And the next one. "I have a contract for three years. I'm not thinking about anything else." He added: "This is a very important year for us." The 34-year-old two-time champion, who is still regarded by many as the best driver in F1, indicated on Tuesday his wish for McLaren - and Honda - to turn their performance around after a difficult 2015 in which they finished ninth out of 10 teams. "The ambition is very high," he said. "I am not here just to travel around the world and to jump in the car and have some fun on Sunday. I am here to win." At the end of 2014 Alonso quit Ferrari because he believed McLaren offered him a better chance of winning a third world title. Ferrari's lead driver Sebastian Vettel was fastest for the second day running on Tuesday during pre-season testing in Barcelona. Alonso ended his first day in the 2016 car eighth fastest, 3.2 seconds off the pace, but 0.7secs quicker than team-mate Jenson Button had been on Monday. The McLaren ran reliably - Alonso did the equivalent of a race distance in the morning session and managed well over 100 laps for the day. Honda, which announced a new head of its F1 programme on Tuesday, has, according to Button, fixed one of the biggest issues with its engine - its weakness in deploying recovered electrical energy. However, the engine is still believed to be a significant margin - perhaps as much as 100bhp - down on the standard-setting Mercedes in terms of absolute performance. Honda has a new engine for next week's second and final test. Alonso said McLaren-Honda needed to "improve all areas of the car" but said he believed the team could have the best chassis by the start of the European races in May. However, he said he believed Mercedes' domination of F1 "had not finished". Vettel set the pace 0.715 seconds quicker than Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, as both drivers became the first to use the new ultra-soft tyre introduced for slow tracks this year. Force India's Sergio Perez was third fastest on the super-soft tyre and Mercedes' Nico Rosberg fourth on the medium tyre. Rosberg was two seconds off Vettel but Mercedes had an impressive day. Rosberg completed more laps than anyone else - as did team-mate Lewis Hamilton on the first day of the test on Monday - and taking into account the differences between the tyres, world champions Mercedes still appear to have a very strong car. The ultra-soft tyre is designed for low-grip slow tracks, not Barcelona, where the long corners and abrasive surfaces are hard on tyres. But it is much softer and would provide better grip and therefore greater speed over a short distance. Tyre supplier Pirelli estimates the lap-time difference between the ultra-soft and the medium at 1.8-2.3secs, based on initial data. Pirelli also said it believed the difference between the medium and super-soft was about 1.4-1.5secs - and Rosberg was only 1.2secs slower on medium tyres than Vettel's best time on the super-softs. On the face of it, that might suggest Mercedes still had a small advantage over Ferrari. However, the times are not necessarily directly comparable - even taking the tyres into account - because the teams do not reveal the fuel loads the cars are carrying - and 10kg of fuel is equivalent to nearly 0.4secs a lap at Barcelona. What can be said is that the Mercedes ran reliably and produced consistently impressive lap times over all its runs. Rosberg ran a remarkable 172 laps to add to the 156 done by Hamilton on Monday. Vettel said he was "fairly happy" with the performance of the Ferrari - which is a much more radical design departure from last year's car than the Mercedes. However, Ferrari are the ones with all the work to do - Mercedes had an average advantage of 0.6secs a lap in qualifying last year. Vettel brought the session to a slightly premature end when his car stopped out on track with five minutes to go, causing a red flag. Among the rest of the field, the new Haas team impressed, with Mexican Esteban Gutierrez setting the sixth fastest time after a delayed start because the car needed its front wing strengthened after a failure on Monday. The mummies - of an adult and a child - were found at an ancient religious complex which has been under excavation since 1981. The child is believed to have been an offering to the gods and may have been buried alive after the adult's death. Researchers also found other offerings including the remains of guinea pigs and jars with feline designs. "This is one of the most important finds in more than three decades of excavation, because the mummies are intact," researcher Gladys Paz told the AFP news agency. The mummies are squatting and are fully dressed wrapped in rope. It is the third intact find among more than 70 tombs uncovered in the Huaca Pucllana tomb, a pyramid-like temple built by the pre-Columbian Wari culture between 100 and 600 AD in what is now the Miraflores neighbourhood. In 2010, archaeologists found the remains of a woman with four children, and in 2008, the remains of a teenage girl. The site was built on 2.5 hectares of land and towers over 20m (66ft) high. So far, only about 40% has been excavated. The Wari culture flourished between AD 500 to 1,000 on the coastal area of northern Peru. Little is known about them, as they did not appear to leave a written record. The France-born 28-year-old has endured an injury-hit last few months but is the biggest name in the 23-man list unveiled by coach Alain Giresse. Mali are preparing for the tournament in Casablanca, Morocco with friendlies against Burkina Faso and a local side.

The magazine has denied racism but said its readers expected it to use "typical Hull humour". The club said the potentially racist comments were "totally unacceptable". In response it said it had referred the matter to police. In a statement it said: "We are duty bound to report any incidents of racism and are proud participants in a number of initiatives such as the Kick It Out campaign and are currently undertaking the Premier League Equality Standard. "This sort of language is not acceptable in football or the wider community." The article was penned by a reporter under the name of Tenfoot Tiger and sparked an angry response among some readers, such as Roger Coates, a City of Culture volunteer. He said: "There are three obscene remarks specifically relating to Mr Allam's racial origin." These included the terms "sand-licker", "pyramid trotter" and a reference to sexual activity with a camel. Another section of the article referred to the club signing players from overseas and winning "the John Motson trophy for the the most unpronounceable names in the Prem". A spokesman for the magazine said: ''People should stop being so sensitive and read the rest of the magazine properly." He said the same edition of the free magazine, which claims to have a circulation of about 30,000, featured articles about helping Hull's refugees and the history of Hull's Rock Against Racism movement. The magazine's owners said its readers expected it to adopt a "down to earth" approach and to display "smatterings of typical Hull humour". The public consultation of saving plans is an unprecedented move for trusts. The five trusts have been asked to deliver the savings by the Department of Health. The proposals were unveiled in five meetings across Northern Ireland at 12:00 BST on Thursday. Each trust can act independently and have published their own set of proposals. Out of the almost £70m overall, the trusts have individually been asked to save: While each trust have made their plans independently, some common themes have emerged such as the cutting of agency or locum staff and a reduction of non-urgent elective surgery. The Belfast Trust proposals could mean the closure of around 100 bed places while the Northern Trust has also suggested closing two wards in Whiteabbey Hospital. The proposals could be reversed should the Stormont government return and a health minister be appointed. The power-sharing institutions collapsed in January after a dispute between the DUP and Sinn Féin about a botched green energy scheme. Northern Ireland has been without a devolved government, or a health minister, since. DUP MLA and former health minister Edwin Poots said some of the proposals were "alarming" while his party colleague, and North Belfast MP, Nigel Dodds said the suggestion to close two wards at Whiteabbey Hospital was "deeply troubling". Mr Dodds said the proposals were a direct result of the "intransigence of Sinn Féin and their refusal to restore the Northern Ireland Assembly". Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said the "cynical and divisive" consultation was a "direct result of repeated cuts imposed by the Tory government, which have seen more than £1bn slashed from the north's finances". "These cuts are not the result of the crisis at Stormont - they are the result of austerity policies conceived and implemented by a Tory cabinet in London," she added. Asking the public to decide where the axe should fall in Health and Social care is as bizarre as it is cruel. It is also unprecedented. The local service has been struggling, but this latest measure is further indication of the somewhat precarious position that the system is currently in. And the plans unveiled by the Belfast Health Trust represent a dire catalogue of proposals. Read more: 'Cruel' public consultation on cuts Public meetings took place at Knockbracken Healthcare Park in Belfast, Craigavon Hospital, Ulster Hospital, Antrim Area Hospital and Altnagelvin Hospital. The public will now have the opportunity to comment on the draft savings during a six-week consultation. The Department of Health said the "financial challenge remains significant due to inflation, an increasing and ageing population and the cost of new treatments and patient expectations". "The Health and Social Care service cannot spend money it does not have and savings must be applied to this year's budget in order to achieve financial balance in 2017/2018," said the department. "In this financial year, trusts are required to generate plans to deliver savings of £70m in order to address the funding gap." What remains unclear is what will happen in the eventuality of an executive not being in place by the end of the consultation period. No executive means no health minister to make decisions, meaning power may lie with the permanent secretary of the Department of Health to implement temporary measures. Of course, another scenario may include the role of a direct rule minister. In 2014, the Department of Health attempted to make cuts but the targeting of local services resulted in public protests and the threat of judicial reviews. Many of the proposals were reversed, with then DUP Health Minister Edwin Poots saying he could not implement the cuts as they threatened patient safety. The £70m of cuts being sought this time may sound considerable but, as part of an annual budget of £5bn, the figure is conservative. Nevertheless, health trust executives would prefer to be spending £70m, as opposed to cutting services.

Adam "Carney" Cooper, 31, was playing for the Warrington side away at Runcorn ARLFC at Heath playing fields in Runcorn on Saturday. An ambulance was called but the father of three could not be saved. A minute's applause will be held before the Eagles' games on Sunday, the club tweeted, adding thanks "to the rugby league family" for messages. A club statement said: "It is with the deepest sadness that we can now confirm the passing of one of our Open Age players, Adam 'Carney' Cooper, at yesterday's away match at Runcorn. It said he would be sadly missed by his mum, fiancée Michelle, three children, grandma, sister, step-dad, uncle, and all of his rugby "family". Other rugby clubs offered their condolences on social media. Warrington Wolves said on Twitter: "Thoughts of everyone at Warrington Wolves are with all those affected by today's tragic events." Leeds Rhinos tweeted: "Deeply sad news regarding the @CulchethEagles player today, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone connected to the club" The 54-year-old from Stockport struggled to break clear of Australia's Machin, who had defeated world champion Scott Waites earlier in the tournament, in Sunday's best-of-25-legs final. But with the score 9-9, Fitton pulled away, winning four successive legs to seal a 13-9 success in Frimley Green. Bolton's Lisa Ashton retained her women's title, beating fellow English thrower Deta Hedman 7-4 in the final. The report is calling for a radical overhaul of the corporation's governance, and recommends the abolition of the BBC Trust. It said Tony Hall "operates with too high a degree of independence". The MPs have called for the BBC Board to be reformed with the addition of an independent Chair. The BBC Trust, currently chaired by Rona Fairhead, came into effect following the 2006 Royal Charter Review, replacing the Board of Governors. It is independent of BBC management, and its stated aim is to make decisions in the best interests of licence fee payers. The Committee said the Chair of a reformed Board should be a "significant figure, ideally with acknowledged experience in managing large organisations". The new Board would "support the director general in streamlining the organisation and cutting costs". It would also "make it clearer where responsibilities lie, and cut down some of the confusion of purpose and bureaucracy that have undermined the existing governance arrangements for the BBC". The report's other recommendations include a clearer boundary between the World Service and BBC World News, in particular relating to allocation of resources. It was also suggested the BBC might help "sustain local news coverage" by "placing apprentices from the BBC's training schemes with local media outlets to help with their newsgathering". In response to the report a spokesperson for the BBC Trust issued a statement: "We welcome the committee's endorsement of the Trust's proposals in 2015 for substantial reform of the BBC's governance - including the creation of a unitary board and strong independent regulation, specific to the BBC." The BBC itself also released a statement, which said it "supports the committee's assertion that the BBC's independence should be protected by taking it out of the political cycle, and agree with its proposal for an 11 or 12 year charter. "Like the committee, we think the BBC should be externally regulated - we believe that a unitary board would be good for the BBC and strengthen accountability."

Samuel Noel Savage, of Kincora Mews, appeared at Belfast Crown Court on a total of 13 charges. The 60-year-old admitted making an arrangement with his wife Dolores Savage to acquire and convert criminal property totalling £1,045,030. The property was allegedly stolen by his wife from the firm Arjo Huntleigh. Mr Savage denied acquiring criminal property and eight charges of dishonestly retaining wrongful credit in his bank account. The offences took place between June 2006 and December 2013. Mrs Savage, 59, also of Kincora Mews, denied entering into an arrangement to acquire criminal property with her husband. She also pleaded not guilty to obtaining a money transfer by deception and fraud by abuse of her position within Arjo Huntleigh. A defence solicitor for Mr Savage told the judge that his client's guilty pleas to two changes "represents the totality of his culpability". He said the charges he denied were "duplicitous to what he has already pleaded guilty to". A prosecution lawyer said he would need to a time to "take instructions on Mr Savage's not guilty pleas to the remaining charges". Mrs Savage will stand trial later this year and the case is to be reviewed next month. The couple were released on continuing bail. The 43-year-old was treated in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after the incident which happened at a block of flats in Union Street at about 06:45 on Friday. Two men, aged 30 and 35, and a woman, 38, have been charged over the alleged assault and robbery. They are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday. The bridge will shut between 09:30 and 16:00 BST from Monday 21 September to Friday 25 September, with a diversion along Bridge Valley Road and the A369. People will be allowed to walk across and cyclists who dismount will also be able to use the bridge. The work has included cleaning the masonry and repairs to the roof. Bridge master David Anderson said the work had been scheduled to avoid peak morning and evening periods to minimise disruption. Two of the incidents occurred near the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron, while the third happened outside a gate to Jerusalem's Old City. It is the first such spate of attacks after months of near-daily stabbings and car-rammings recently subsided. A Palestinian was also shot dead when Israeli troops raided his home. Mohammed Saraheen, 30, was killed while trying to evade arrest during the operation in the West Bank village of Beit Ula on Friday morning, the Israeli military said. Two of the later attacks on Israelis happened nearby. In one, a Palestinian was shot dead after ramming his vehicle into civilians at a bus stop near the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, the military said. Three people were wounded. Another Palestinian who was involved in the attack was shot and wounded, officials said. Hours later, a Palestinian who stabbed and wounded a soldier at a junction near Hebron was shot dead, officials said. In East Jerusalem, a Jordanian man was killed by security forces after trying to stab police outside Damascus Gate, according to Israeli authorities. The site has been the scene of multiple attacks on Israelis, and killings of assailants, in previous months. Thirty-five Israelis been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since last October. More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period. Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation. Police in Cologne investigating the crimes are focussing on people of North African origin, they say. On Sunday evening six Pakistanis and a Syrian man came under attack in the centre of the western German city. Angela Merkel's immigration policy has come under criticism since the attacks. Around 1.1 million asylum seekers arrived in Germany in 2015. The scale of the assaults on women in Cologne and other German cities on 31 December has shocked the country, and police handling of the events has been sharply criticised. Riot police used water cannon to disperse anti-migrant protesters in Cologne on Saturday. The attacks on Sunday took place in the early evening. In the first, a group of around 20 people attacked six Pakistanis, two of whom had to be treated in hospital. Separately, five people injured a Syrian man who did not need hospital treatment. The higher figures came as German authorities were urged to find out whether the series of New Year's Eve sexual assaults and robberies in Cologne were linked to similar crimes in other cities. Justice Minister Heiko Maas told the Bild newspaper on Sunday that he was convinced the attacks were pre-arranged. "If such a horde gathers in order to commit crimes, that appears in some form to be planned,'' he said. "Nobody can tell me that this was not co-ordinated or prepared." Authorities and witnesses say the attackers were among about 1,000 people, mostly men, who congregated at Cologne's central train station before breaking off into small groups that molested and robbed women. Victims described chaos as dozens of sexual assaults and robberies were carried out with little apparent response from the authorities around Cologne station. Similar attacks to those seen in Cologne were also reported in Hamburg and in Stuttgart on New Year's Eve. In Bielefeld, hundreds of men tried to force their way into nightclubs, Die Welt reported (in German). Police said several women had alleged sexual assault. On Friday, the chief of police for Cologne was suspended. Wolfgang Albers had been accused of holding back information about the attacks, in particular about the origin of the suspects. Shares in the company dropped 4.3% to 430.10p after it reported a fall in the number of letters delivered. In the nine months to 25 December, the volume of letters delivered fell 6% while letter revenues were down 5%. "We are seeing the impact of overall business uncertainty in the UK on letter volumes," it said. Royal Mail added that this had been seen "in particular" in advertising and business letters. However, its parcels business saw revenues rise by 3% with the number of parcels delivered 2% higher. Royal Mail was the biggest faller in the FTSE 100, with the UK's benchmark share index down 15.08 points at 7,232.53 in early trade. In the FTSE 250, shares in Moneysupermarket.com jumped 9% after it said full-year results were set to beat expectations, with operating profits up 8%. Halfords was another company benefiting from an upbeat trading update. Its shares rose 7% after the car parts and bike retailer reported a "strong sales performance" for the crucial Christmas period, with like-for-like sales up 5.9% during the three months to 15 January. However, the news from Pets at Home was not so encouraging. Its shares fell more than 8% after it reported "subdued trading" at its merchandise division, with like-for-like sales at the unit down 0.5%. On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.5% against the dollar to $1.2318 and was 0.2% higher against the euro at 1.1555 euros.

Briton Farah said: "You don't wish it on any athlete who hasn't done anything wrong. But, as for the country, if they don't follow the rules then tough." Kenya, one of the top distance-running nations, is on a Wada "watch list" although the country's sports minister says they are "fully co-operating" in an effort to prove it is tackling cheating. Farah, who will compete in the 3,000m at the Indoor Grand Prix in Glasgow on Saturday, won gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the London 2012 Olympics and the 2013 and 2015 World Championships. Asked about Kenya's potential absence from the Rio Olympics this summer, he joked: "If we don't have Kenya, it makes it easier for me, which is great." Kenyans Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor, Paul Kipngetich Tanui and Bitan Karoki are possible rivals to Farah. Media playback is not supported on this device Adam Gemili, who won 100m silver for England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, said: "It's good whenever a cheat is caught. It helps to clean up athletics." Meanwhile, 32-year-old Farah says he will not let the threat of the Zika virus deny him the chance to share further Olympic success with his family. At London 2012, wife Tania and step-daughter Rihanna joined Farah on the track to celebrate his gold in the 10,000m. "For me, the Olympics is where it is at," he said. "I want to have that moment for my family no matter what. "In London, one of the best things ever was having my family on the track. Seeing my wife and daughter there was incredible. "I believe they are part of me and will be there again. I'm not even thinking about anything like the Zika virus. I want them there and that's it. "I've been training in Ethiopia for the last six weeks up at 10,000ft in some pretty nice weather. "Rio is not too far away now and I'm quite excited. It starts here in Glasgow now. This is the road to Rio."

The full report concludes issues surrounding taxi licence applications have now been identified and addressed. The authority "welcomes the findings". An audit of taxi driver applications in December had found appropriate background checks had not been carried out in relation to 40 working taxi drivers in South Ribble. Council leader Margaret Smith said a taxi driver's licence has since been revoked and it has "double-checked" the licence of every other taxi driver in the borough. "The public rightly expects our licensing service to provide them with the right level of protection and we regret any instances where we fell short of the mark," the Conservative councillor said. The authority was working closely with the police and crime commissioner, Lancashire Safeguarding Children Board and other authorities to "bring in a robust licensing policy", she added. The independent report, written by solicitors Wilkin Chapman LLP, concluded it was not necessary to make any further recommendations as it had "taken steps to address operational issues". The leader of the opposition, councillor Paul Foster, said he wanted more information. Mr Foster, Labour, said: "It is a complete and utter whitewash: one licence has been revoked. "I'm afraid there are five serious cases of either child exploitation or safeguarding issues. "We must understand what has happened to the other four drivers and why they haven't had their licenses revoked." The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) found 31% more members reporting house price increases in April. However, the survey also indicated that buyer activity has dampened since the start of the year. Rics said the trends, in part, may have been a result of uncertainty ahead of the election. In the latest Rics residential market survey, Scotland was the only country in the UK where surveyors reported a rise in the number of properties coming onto the market. Across the rest of the UK, new instructions saw their eighth consecutive drop in the last nine months. Rics Scotland director Sarah Speirs said: "There have been indications of more moderate price gains in Scotland in recent months, but activity indicators remain positive. "Unlike across the rest of the UK, Scotland continues to see moderate growth in supply, which is being met by a steadily increasing rise in demand. "Anecdotally, the uncertainty created by the general election has impacted market activity and it remains early days to assess what impact the new Land Building and Transaction Tax (LBTT) is having on property prices in different parts of the country - and at different price bands." Walker was challenged in the box by Kieran Tierney and Brown said: "It was a dive. Cheat. What else can you say?" The Hearts midfielder said: "I knocked the ball on and I've seen him [Tierney] coming out the corner of my eye and felt contact so I went down. "At the end of the day, I am not the referee. I don't give the decisions." Brown praised Hearts for their performance, but added: "There is no place in football for cheats and that's been a couple of times here now." Brendan Rodgers, taking charge of his first Scottish Premiership game, praised his Celtic players' mentality to recover from referee John Beaton's "mistake". Celtic led via James Forrest's opener but Walker levelled from the disputed penalty. Walker slammed in the penalty but Scott Sinclair's late winner secured three points for the reigning champions. "It was a dubious penalty, that was clear. In fairness to the referee, he said he made a mistake," Rodgers said. "At least he was big enough to admit that. "We had to show mentality and character in the second half. We were super offensive in the last 20 minutes and eventually got the breakthrough." Rodgers was understandably delighted with the impact of Sinclair, who came off the bench after an hour to make his debut after completing a £3.5m move from Aston Villa. "He showed typical hunger and desire to score the goal, with the speed he has shown to get into the box," Rodgers told BBC Scotland after his first league match in charge of Celtic. "It was wonderful play from Leigh Griffiths and Scott showed a great touch and composure to score. "He has made a big choice to come here but I am sure he will do well and score many more goals. "He is a really top talent. It has been a bit difficult for him the last couple of seasons at Manchester City and Aston Villa but he brings excitement - he gets you off your feet with his pace and trickery, and he loves scoring goals." It completed a whirlwind 48 hours for Sinclair, who only arrived in Scotland on Friday night, and completed the final details of his transfer late on Saturday. "It all happened so fast," he told BBC Scotland. "I only had three hours' sleep on Friday, but I did the scans and bits and pieces yesterday and I made the squad. "It is an amazing feeling to come on and score the winner. I didn't think I would be involved but the manager said I was fit. "This is why I came to Celtic - to play games, score goals and start enjoying it again. Hopefully it can continue." Rodgers admitted he wants to add "at least another two" players to his squad before the transfer window closes. One of his new signings, Kolo Toure, was struggling with a groin problem late on, in his first start for the club. "He wanted to continue," Rodgers added. "I thought he was excellent. He is still a way off with his fitness but he showed he can still play in these big games." Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson felt his side could have had a second penalty when Toure clashed with Robbie Muirhead. "There were a lot of inconsistent decisions today," he said. "We got some, they got some. "In my opinion Toure leans into the back of him. If there's no contact on the ball and the boy goes down it's a penalty." The Tynecastle boss also revealed he hopes to make at least two signings before the end of the transfer window. "We're still looking to get a couple of guys in," said Neilson. "[Krystian] Nowak the centre back came in last week so we'll hopefully get that tied up in the next couple of days, and we're also looking for a wide player." The 29-year-old joins the Sky Blues on a loan agreement before the American side begin their inaugural MLS season. "When I spoke to the gaffer he was full of confidence about what he wants to achieve here this season," McCann said. "The way he speaks and his ideas about the way he wants his team to play, it breeds confidence into players." McCann agreed a move to Atlanta earlier this summer after he left Wigan, where he made 82 league appearances during a three-year stay. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 25-year-old moved from Damascus to Berlin in 2013 and founded a non-governmental organisation (NGO) called Make it German. It provides free advice to fellow Syrians and other Arabic-speakers new to Germany on all aspects of life, including study opportunities and finding a job. Anas was born with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, a genetic disease that affects the shape of bones and their development. He was able to walk when he was a child, but as he grew older, his condition became worse. In 2003, he travelled to Germany for the first time for medical treatment. But spinal surgery left him permanently paralysed and wheelchair-bound. "Germany changed my life twice, once in 2003 and again in 2013," he says. Anas found it hard to lead an independent life in Syria, despite the support of family and friends. Wheelchair-friendly infrastructure did not exist in Damascus, restricting his freedom and opportunities. His situation only got worse as the war intensified - he felt increasingly trapped. "I had no choice but to leave. I wanted to pursue my goals and the situation in Syria wasn't helping me," he says. It was a struggle to obtain a visa. Anas had to travel to neighbouring Lebanon to apply through the German embassy there. In December 2013, Anas moved to Germany to study for an undergraduate degree in computer science at the Technical University of Berlin. He travelled by himself. His family could not join him - they could not afford the travel expenses, nor obtain visas. Germany took in a record 890,000 migrants and refugees in 2015. But last year the number of asylum seekers fell to 280,000, after the Balkan route was closed. Syrians formed 37% of asylum applicants in 2016 - by far the largest group. The influx has put some public services under pressure and caused political tensions. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been criticised for her "open door" policy, though many Germans have shown generosity towards the newcomers. Initially Anas struggled with the language and laws, but did not let that hold him back. How did he feel about Berlin? "It was love at first sight," he says. He admires the German culture and work ethic. "Unlike Syrians, Germans are direct and straightforward," he says. "Being able to move freely is the most important thing. Berlin gives me the freedom of movement I always wanted and I feel independent, unlike my situation back in Damascus." Physical barriers are no longer an issue for Anas. He crosses the city in his wheelchair, goes to university every day and sees himself as an active member of society. He has made many friends in Berlin and is always busy with university or social events. His only concern is his financial situation. As the Syrian war grinds on, Anas' financial burdens are increasing, but he no longer wants to ask his parents for money. He has some income from work and help from his friends. In April 2016, he and a group of friends launched Make it German, for Arabic-speaking immigrants. "Our goal is to build a bridge between new arrivals and German society and help them be on the right track," Anas says. Recently the NGO launched a social media campaign encouraging Syrians to donate blood, as an "act of solidarity and a sign of co-existence". It organises web seminars via Skype, where Syrian guest speakers and others share their experiences of making Germany their home. At the moment, the NGO is self-funded, through the team's savings and earnings from their day jobs. To keep costs low the volunteers mainly work from home, but Anas hopes they will soon be able to rent office space. Ashraf, a Syrian student, praised Make it German for the advice he got about his course. "They provided me with all the information I needed, along with supporting documents from official sources." Yusra, another student, said the NGO's advice about applying for medical school was useful, "however, I felt that not all my questions were addressed". Anas has not seen his parents - still in Damascus - for more than three years. "Although we are not together, I think of them every day, but I can't go back to Syria. I worry about them, but my life is here now." Even if the war were to end, Anas would like to settle in Germany. He wants to finish his studies, while continuing to help other Syrians. Produced by UGC and Social News Team Former England assistant coach Graham Rowntree has been appointed as forwards coach, while number eight Nick Easter will become defence coach. Meanwhile, backs coach Mark Mapletoft will succeed Kingston as head coach. "Taking the role of director of rugby is an exciting and well-timed new challenge for me," Kingston said. He has been on the coaching staff at Harlequins since 2001, having previously had stints at Richmond and Irish side Galwegians. Rowntree was England forwards coach under Stuart Lancaster, but left the national set-up in December when Eddie Jones was appointed as head coach. The 45-year-old former Leicester prop won 54 caps for England and also appeared three times for the British & Irish Lions during his playing career. "I've had an enforced step back from the game, and it's been good to spend time with the family," Rowntree told BBC Radio 5 live. "I was delighted we won the Six Nations, but this is the start of a new adventure. I'm determined to grasp this opportunity. I'm ready for it." Quins say the appointment of Kingston as director of rugby came following "a rigorous and wide-ranging selection process". Chief executive David Ellis told the club website: "We were very clear that we needed somebody who would help drive us onto the next level," "John's passion for the club and our style of play will stand us in good stead, and convinced us he is the right man for the job." Ex-England international Easter will primarily be a coach next season, but the 37-year-old will retain a playing contract. O'Shea, who has won the Premiership title, the Amlin Challenge Cup and the LV= Cup during his six years as Quins boss, will leave The Stoop to take charge of Italy's national team this summer. The Irishman could add a second European title before his departure, with Harlequins to face Montpellier in the final of the European Challenge Cup on 13 May. In a further change to the backroom set-up, Tony Diprose will become academy and global development director. While much of our focus has been on the court, with the odd dash to Murray Mound to see what the punters have to say, it hasn't gone unnoticed that there are some Scots also working behind the scenes at SW19. Olwyn Roy, from Tullibody, is one. She has been working at the championship for 30 years, mostly as a line judge. The home economics teacher is a keen tennis player herself. As an umpire she has seen some of the world's top seeds when they were youths, and jokes of her failure to recognise the talent of a certain teenager named Roger Federer. The Swiss is now her favourite player. "This is my 30th Wimbledon, I even did one where I was working in Australia for a year and I came back just for Wimbledon, so I've done 30 consecutive," she said. She added: "We work hard all year to make certain we are selected to come down here. "With grass, there's a special technique where you have to wait for the chalk, because sometimes if you're used to working on hard courts you'll call that bit more quickly and then you find you have a puff of chalk coming up, which obviously proves the ball is not out." Another Scot who enjoys working at Wimbledon is Martin Swan, a former bank employee from Edinburgh. Wearing his luminous orange vest, he is in charge of running a large section of the queue at the All England Club. "As a member of the public, I think probably my second year living in London, I started queuing and I have been in the overnight queue," he commented. "I have camped in the street when you could camp in the street in the old days. "I've been involved in Wimbledon either as a customer or working here for nearly 30 years now." Martin also managed to get closer to the action this year, with some work on the gangway of centre court. "I'm pleased to have been on centre court I think for two of Andy Murray's matches," he said. "It's a great atmosphere." So apart from the obvious - the internationally renowned tennis tournament, the sunny weather, the manicured grounds where you can rub shoulders with many celebrities, and, of course, the strawberries - what is it that keeps volunteers like these Scots coming back, year after year? "There's an incredible sense of camaraderie amongst the stewards here," said Martin. "|We generally only see each other once a year but as soon as we are back together we work really well as teams, we have a good laugh and the public like us as well." Over the years, Olwyn has officiated some great matches including the 2008 final between the Williams sisters, and the 2007 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal. And after seeing so many champions come and go, there are bound to be many stand out moments, which Olwyn savours when she can. "It's everybody's dream to do a final so if you are lucky enough to get selected for the final those are the ones that are very memorable," she said. "Occasionally it can be other matches where possibly it's just been an absolutely terrific match. You'll never forget them." Asked if she planned on travelling back down in 2016 for the 31st consecutive year, Olwyn responded: "Definitely." The new Afghan president is expected to ask his American counterpart to keep more troops in his country for longer. Mr Obama has promised to end America's longest war by the end of his term, leaving only a small force to protect the US embassy. It is believed Mr Obama will announce his troop decision later today. The leaders will discuss troop numbers over a working lunch and in meetings, before taking questions during a press conference later this afternoon. Originally, officials planned to cut the US troop presence to 5,500 by the end of 2015. But with the prospect of a tough spring fighting season on the horizon, Islamic State militants trying to recruit on Afghan soil and other security concerns, officials are predicting the US will probably leave 9,800 American troops in the country long into next year. US bases in Jalalabad and Kandahar, the Taliban capital until 2001, are central to the discussions. President Ghani has requested that those bases remain open as long as possible, and US officials appear to be warm to that idea. The lunch and meetings come just as gunmen killed at least 13 people in eastern Afghanistan overnight and, separately, a suspected US drone strike near the Afghan-Pakistani border killed nine militants. However, Mr Ghani's presidency is a welcome change in the eyes of the White House, whose relationship with his predecessor grew increasingly strained in recent years. When he assumed office, Mr Ghani, who lived in the US for more than a decade, almost immediately signed a security deal with American officials to keep US troops in the country beyond 2014. The refusal of the previous Afghan administration, led by Hami Karzai, to sign the agreement generated consternation at the White House. By contrast, Mr Ghani has made clear his appreciation for US support, which has included more than $60bn (£40.37bn) being invested in his country's military so far. "We do not now ask what the United States can do for us," President Ghani said as he opened his US visit, invoking a quote by former US President John F Kennedy. "We want to say what Afghanistan will do for itself and for the world." After a controversial election with disputed results, President Ghani agreed to share power with his main political rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who has taken the title of Chief Executive Officer of the country. Six months into their term, the two leaders have made the trip to the US together in an effort to project unity, despite being unable to build a full cabinet. In a ceremony at the Pentagon on Monday, Mr Ghani paid tribute to US soldiers who had fought in Afghanistan and thanked the US for its support. "Each one of you has left a legacy," he said, noting that more than 2,200 Americans lost their lives and 20,000 were wounded in the conflict. The Grecians are second-from-bottom in League Two and have not won at home since April, one of only two wins at St James Park in the whole of 2016 so far. "I understand the dissatisfaction with a number of the supporters," he said. "But it's important those people stay behind the team as this is a supporter-owned club, everyone's in it together and we have to have that mentality." City conceded a late goal to lose 1-0 at Wycombe on Saturday - their eighth defeat in 11 league games after an injury-hit start to the season. "There's a lot of will in the squad and a lot of effort and people behind them and we've just got to keep going with it," Tisdale added. "We're going through one of those periods where that's all we can do. "There's no point shirking it, but I believe in the players, they've put some real work in and we've just got to take that into next week." The motion said many species are not covered by IWC rules, and criticised Japan's scientific whaling programmes. The delegates' final act was to decide to hold meetings every two years. Meanwhile, the Danish and Greenland governments will "reflect" on whaling options for Greenland's Inuit after the IWC denied a bid to raise quotas. The options include setting quotas unilaterally without the IWC's explicit approval, or even withdrawing from the body. Either would be intensely controversial. Nothing caused more controversy here, though, than South Korea's announcement that it was preparing to allow some of its fishermen to hunt whales under regulations permitting a catch for scientific research. Japan has had such programmes in place since 1986, including an annual hunt in the Southern Ocean, which has been declared a whale sanctuary. That was one focus of the resolution, tabled by Monaco, that called on the UN General Assembly to debate whale conversation. Another was that whaling nations want the IWC's remit restricted to species that have been hunted, while others want it to work for the conservation of all cetaceans. The resolution invited governments to "consider these issues in collaboration with the UN General Assembly, with a view to contributing to the conservation efforts of the IWC". There was general acceptance that such a resolution should only go forward by consensus, and it was soon clear that consensus was absent. Norway's Einar Tallaksen said issues regarding cetaceans "are not a matter for the UN General Assembly, but for the competent fisheries organisations, including the IWC". As far as this meeting is concerned, the proposal is abandoned, though Monaco will work for it within the UN and is launching a "task force" of supportive nations. "Clearly the whaling countries want to contain any discussion of their whaling inside the IWC," commented Patrick Ramage, director of the global whale programme with the International Fund for Animal Welfare. "They don't want their diplomats at the United Nations to have to defend the indefensible." On the final day of the IWC's annual meeting, held this time in Panama City, delegations were also mulling the implications of Denmark's decision to leave without a whale-hunting quota for the Greenland Inuit. They came to Panama asking for increased quotas for humpback and fin whales, in addition to maintaining existing levels for minkes and bowheads. The bid became more controversial after environment groups reported finding whalemeat on sale in many supermarkets and restaurants, and, with the EU against the expansion, the bid failed. "We are going to go home and reflect, because this is a situation that needs to be handled with care," said Danish delegation head Ole Samsing. Experienced observers noted that in previous years, Denmark has been willing to compromise its requests in order to get something agreed. The EU would have supported a continuation of the existing quotas, but the Danes opted instead to leave with nothing. "There can be no doubt that Denmark knew when it put the proposal to a vote that it would fail," said Sue Fisher, on behalf of the Washington DC-based Animal Welfare Institute. "It could have walked out of here days ago with a perfectly adequate quota to meet the subsistence needs of indigenous communities in Greenland for the next six years, but it was prepared to lose everything for a handful of extra whales that, our recent surveys show, could well end up on the menu in tourist restaurants". Japan's deputy commissioner, Akima Umezawa, said the vote against Greenland had been the most disappointing aspect of a discouraging meeting. "Many pointed out the commercialism and the increased quota," he said. "But commercialism is accepted by the definition of [aboriginal] subsistence whaling, and the increased quota was accepted and endorsed by the IWC scientific committee." The issue is made more complex by the evolving relationship between Greenland, a hunting-based society of just over 50,000 people, and its former colonial ruler. Several years ago, Greenland formally asked the Danish government to put its whaling outside the IWC's aegis, but it is understood that it would now prefer to remain within the organisation. It is inconceivable that hunting will stop, so the question is how Greenland intends to go forward. Its own interpretation of rules on aboriginal subsistence whaling (ASW) is that countries are entitled to set their own quotas, provided they are consistent with IWC scientific advice. Other countries disagree. The US is also opening the door to unilateral action, with draft legislation introduced into Congress that would allow the government to set quotas if the IWC denied them. Overall, many observers said this had been the most functional IWC meeting for years, with votes taken in an orderly fashion and a relative absence of grandstanding. Six years ago, the pro- and anti-whaling camps were roughly equal in number. Now, the anti-whalers clearly have the upper hand, and it was noticeable that many of the Caribbean delegations were down to a single person. The decision to hold meetings every two years from now on is part of an ongoing process - largely driven by the UK and Australia - aimed at making the commission more functional and efficient. Delegates concluded by selecting their first ever female chair, St Lucia's Jeannine Compton-Antoine. Follow Richard on Twitter The 37-year-old former England batsman re-signed with the county for this summer's competition. But he was restricted to only two appearances because of injury, the last against Middlesex on 21 July. "Surrey's loss last night means the end of career in England. What an amazing journey," he posted on Twitter. "Thank you, Notts, Hants, Surrey, ECB & supporters!" Pietersen will continue to play T20 cricket overseas as well as continuing his involvement in wildlife conservation programmes in South Africa. He was hoping Surrey would make it through to T20 Blast finals day on 9 September, but they lost by six wickets to 2014 winners Birmingham Bears on Friday evening. Marc Kasowitz said Mr Trump never sought to impede the investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He suggested that leaks by Mr Comey should themselves be investigated. Mr Comey testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday about events leading up to his sacking. He went on the record with a number of explosive claims. Mr Comey said: Mr Comey was leading one of several Russia investigations before Mr Trump fired him last month. He also said he kept a written record of conversations with the president as he was "honestly worried he might lie" about them, and leaked details of one conversation - about the Michael Flynn investigation - after a version of it had already been published in the press. As a result of that episode, a special counsel was appointed to lead an independent investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to the Kremlin. When reporters asked Mr Trump after the testimony whether he thought Mr Comey was telling the truth, the president did not respond but simply smiled through pursed lips. The president has rejected the allegation that anyone around him colluded with Russia and says the "real" story is leaks. "Today, Mr Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorised disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the president," Mr Kasowitz told reporters. "We will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along with all the other leaks that are being investigated." He also said in a statement that Mr Comey's testimony "finally confirmed publicly" that the president was not under investigation as part of any probe in Russian political meddling, and denied the claim that Mr Trump asked Mr Comey for his loyalty. The former FBI boss remained largely composed throughout almost three hours of testimony but became impassioned when delivering his opening remarks. "The FBI is honest. The FBI is strong. And the FBI is and always will be independent," he said in his opening remarks. There is no known evidence of collusion between Russia and the US, and President Donald Trump has dismissed the story as "fake news". For Donald Trump the good news from James Comey's testimony is that the former FBI director clearly said the president was not directly under FBI investigation at the time he was fired. The bad news was, well, everything else. It's clear the president woefully mishandled this, for which he has paid a high price ever since. By unceremoniously sacking him, and offering a muddle of explanations for it, he created an adversary with both the means and the motivation to respond in the most damaging way. The White House may claim today's testimony is a technical exoneration. Politically, however, it's a staggering blow. The couple were married in Murray's home town of Dunblane last April and announced the pregnancy in the summer. Confirming the news, the tennis star's agent said: "Andy and Kim had a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning and the family are doing well." Shirley Erskine, Andy Murray's grandmother said she was delighted at her great granddaughter's arrival. Andy's mother Judy tweeted a photograph of Andy Murray's gold post box in Dunblane which has been adorned with pink ribbons, with the words "Dunblane baby love.......xxx". The post box was painted gold when Andy won the gold medal at the London Olympics. She later tweeted another picture of tennis balls and a dummy, with the caption "Tennis family #cute". In the run-up to last month's Australian Open, Murray, said his family would be a "priority". The world number two made it clear that he would have cut short his first grand slam of the year and flown home if the baby had arrived earlier than expected. He said: "My child is more important to me, and my wife is more important to me, than a tennis match. "It's a big change for me and my wife, but that's the current priority and I'll see after that. "I have no idea how that will change things. I still love tennis." Speaking from her home in Dunblane, Mrs Erskine said: "I am absolutely delighted, as you can imagine. It seems a long time that we've been waiting for this but all's well now as far as I know. "I don't have any details I just know that I've got a great granddaugher so that is just lovely. "All I could think of after Andy had finished playing his final [in the Australian Open] was 'Oh good, at least he'll get home now'. "It's not easy getting home from Australia. He couldn't have been further away. Fortunately, he was home in plenty of time and all's well." Mrs Erskine said the first she heard was a text saying "she's doing well" as she had missed the first multiple recipient text Andy had sent. "I thought 'Oh something's happened'," she said. "So, I frantically texted him back, saying 'What's happened?, what's happened?'. She said Andy then apologised as he realised she had not received the first message as she had an old phone. "We didn't know what the baby's sex was going to be. Andy and Kim said from the outset that they didn't want to know." Andy's other grandmother Ellen Murray, 82, said the tennis star phoned her on Monday to give her and husband Gordon the news. Speaking from her home in Kilsyth, she said: "Andy phoned yesterday and said 'congratulations, you're a great granny'. "He told me the baby was 8lb 10oz when she was born." "It's wonderful news," she added. "We watched him in the Australian Open final and I think he just wanted to come home. "I don't really know about her name yet but I hope we'll see them all soon. I'll be looking forward to a cuddle. "Gordon is very happy too. They did a good job." After being beaten in the final of the Australian Open, Murray tearfully told his wife he would be on "the next flight home". Speaking to the crowd after the defeat, he gave a message to Kim, who was "watching back home". He said: "You have been a legend the last two weeks, thank you so much for all of your support. I'll be on the next flight home." Following news of the birth, sports personalities and politicians tweeted their congratulations, along with hundreds of members of the public. Sports broadcaster Gabby Logan said: "Kim and Andy Murray have had a baby girl -huge congrats." And in a note to Murray's mother Judy, the presenter added: "@judmoo - great news for Fed Cup team 2036..." Presenter Annabel Croft, a former British number one tennis star, wrote: "Congratulations Kim & @andy-murray on the birth of their baby daughter. Fantastic news." Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Lovely news. Congratulations to @andy_murray and Kim on the birth of their daughter. Wishing every happiness." Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale tweeted: "It's a girl! Huge congratulations to Kim Sears and @andy_murray on their wonderful news." The couple, both 28, met as teenagers in 2005 through tennis circles. They live in Surrey and married in Dunblane last April, cheered on by a large crowd of well-wishers. Kim's pregnancy was confirmed publicly in August after they had told family and friends the news, following the 12-week scan. Murray, the British number one and a double grand slam winner, has been crowned BBC Sports Personality Of The Year twice. The Rome Statute which established the court has been ratified by 123 countries, but the US is a notable absence. What is the court designed to do? To prosecute and bring to justice those responsible for the worst crimes - genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The court has global jurisdiction. It is a court of last resort, intervening only when national authorities cannot or will not prosecute. Aren't there already several international courts? Yes, but they either do different jobs or have a limited remit. The International Court of Justice (sometimes called the World Court) rules on disputes between governments but cannot prosecute individuals. The international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have tried individuals for crimes against humanity, but only if they were committed in those territories over a specified period. Unlike the international tribunals, the International Criminal Court is a permanent body. Are there any time limits on what it covers? The court has no retrospective jurisdiction - it can only deal with crimes committed after 1 July 2002 when the Rome Statute came into force. Additionally, the court has automatic jurisdiction only for crimes committed on the territory of a state which has ratified the treaty; or by a citizen of such a state; or when the United Nations Security Council refers a case to it. What kind of cases does the court pursue? The court's first verdict, in March 2012, was against Thomas Lubanga, the leader of a militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was convicted of war crimes relating to the use of children in that country's conflict and sentenced in July to 14 years. The highest profile person to be brought to the ICC is Ivory Coast's former President Laurent Gbagbo, who was charged in 2011 with murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution and "other inhumane acts". Other notable cases included charges of crimes against humanity against Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was indicted in 2011 in connection with post-election ethnic violence in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died. The ICC dropped the charges against Mr Kenyatta in December 2014. Among those wanted by the ICC are leaders of Uganda's rebel movement, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is active in northern Uganda, north-eastern DR Congo and South Sudan. Its leader Joseph Kony is charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes, including abduction of thousands of children. The court has an outstanding arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir - the first against a serving head of state. When Mr Bashir - who faces three counts of genocide, two counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity - attended a African Union summit in South Africa in June 2015, a South African court ordered that he be prevented from leaving the country while it decided whether he should be arrested under the ICC warrant. The South African government allowed Mr Bashir to leave and in the fallout a judge angrily accused the government of ignoring the constitution. The government in turn threatened to leave the ICC. In 2015, the ICC began a preliminary investigation into the 2014 Gaza conflict. The Palestinian Authority submitted evidence to the court in June of what it claims were war crimes committed by the Israeli military. A UN report found evidence of war crimes by both Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Israeli military. The ICC has been criticised, particularly by the African Union, for its focus on Africa. In the court's 11-year history it has only brought charges against black Africans. The ICC denies any bias, pointing to the fact that some cases - such as the LRA in Uganda - were self-referred by the country affected, and some were referred by the UN. Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, who is Gambian, has argued that the ICC is helping Africa by its prosecutions of criminals. "The ICC is working with Africa, and working for African victims, so I don't think the African Union should be against that," she said. How can the court secure the arrest and trial of suspects? The ICC has no police force of its own to track down and arrest suspects. Instead it must rely on national police services to make arrests and seek their transfer to The Hague. The case of Mr Bashir illustrates the problem this can present for the court. Several ICC signatory countries, including Chad and Kenya, have refused to co-operate in his arrest. A South African court did order that he be prevented from leaving the country, only for the government to override the order. The African Union has instructed members not to carry out the ICC arrest warrant against him while it conducts its own investigation. How does the system work? The prosecutor begins an investigation if a case is referred either by the UN Security Council or by a ratifying state. He or she can also take independent action, but prosecutions have to be approved by a panel of judges. Both the prosecutor and the judges are elected by the states taking part in the court. Luis Moreno Ocampo of Argentina was the first chief prosecutor of the court. He has been replaced by Ms Bensouda. Each state has a right to nominate one candidate for election as a judge. Who has agreed to co-operate with the court? The Rome Treaty has been ratified by 121 states so far, meaning they have bound themselves to co-operate. A further 34 have signed and may ratify it in the future. Only one Arab state has ratified so far - Jordan. Why isn't the United States involved? During negotiations, the US argued that its soldiers might be the subject of politically motivated or frivolous prosecutions. Various safeguards were introduced, and Bill Clinton did eventually sign the treaty in one of his last acts as president but it was never ratified by Congress. The Bush administration was adamantly opposed to the court and to any dilution of US sovereignty in criminal justice, and the US threatened to pull its troops out of the UN force in Bosnia unless they were given immunity from prosecution by the ICC. In a much-criticised decision, the UN Security Council voted on 12 July 2002 on a compromise that gave US troops a 12-month exemption from prosecution - renewed annually. But the Security Council - prompted by then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan - refused to renew the exemption in June 2004, two months after pictures of US troops abusing Iraqi prisoners shocked the world. The court's operation is seen as weakened without US involvement. However, Washington has not ruled out co-operation with the court in particular cases. Are there other dissenters? Yes, a number of important countries seem determined not to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Some have not even signed the treaty, such as China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Turkey. Others, including Egypt, Iran, Israel and Russia, have signed but remain dubious and have not ratified. It is unlikely that alleged crimes against humanity in those states will be prosecuted. How does the ICC fit in with each nation's judicial system? States that join the treaty may want to make sure that they themselves are able to prosecute all the crimes that it covers - otherwise the court may intervene. Some governments have already introduced legislation to make changes to their own judicial systems. Who is paying? The states which take part. This will be according to the same rules that govern their contributions to the UN - roughly based on their national wealth. The absence of the US in particular makes funding of the court more expensive for others. Japan, Germany, France and Britain are among the the largest contributors. The grant was on condition 50 jobs were created and 15 were safeguarded, with all remaining in place by 2020. But Newsquest held two rounds of job cuts in 2016 and the hub shut in April. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has now called for that recouped cash to be reinvested in "struggling" local newspapers. Newsquest, whose papers include Newport-based South Wales Argus, opened the sub-editing hub in 2013. A total of £340,000 in support, including the Welsh Government grant and £95,000 from the Skills Growth Fund, was given to the Newport project. At its peak, the unit employed more than 70 people, sub-editing material written by reporters from 100 daily and weekly newspapers across the UK. First Minister Carwyn Jones told AMs in March the Welsh Government would look to get the cash back if conditions attached to the grant to Newsquest were not met. "Whilst Newsquest currently meet the terms and conditions of the grant, we were alert to the possibility that between now and 2020 we may wish to undertake further changes to our business," said a Newsquest spokesman. "Although we have no current plans to do this, we believed it would be correct to return the grant, and Newsquest has therefore given back the £245,000 grant in full. This was entirely at our own volition." NUJ Welsh organiser John Toner said it is a "lesson" for the Welsh Government as he said it "should have used the grant to support local newspapers and fund media start-ups rather than this profitable American-owned publisher". He added: "That is why we are asking that the refunded money be used to aid new and struggling news enterprises." The Welsh Government has been asked to comment.

Some City fans sarcastically applauded when he made a save later in the game. But Guardiola said: "The performance from Claudio was amazing. He can start build-ups like no-one else can do." Chile international Bravo was signed from Barcelona last summer to replace England international Joe Hart, but has faced criticism for his shot-stopping skills since arriving in a £15.4m deal. He was dropped in January after conceding 16 goals from the previous 24 shots on target he had faced in the Premier League, with Guardiola picking 35-year-old Argentine Willy Caballero instead for City's past four Premier League matches and the Champions League last-16 win against Monaco. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager, 46, reiterated his confidence in Bravo before the FA Cup replay, only to see him easily let in Huddersfield's first effort on target. Afterwards, Guardiola preferred to focus on Bravo's footwork. Media playback is not supported on this device "He reads when men are free. It is not easy to read that," he said. "He gives us the continuity to play. What the fans express, I am not here to judge." When Bravo stopped Huddersfield's second shot on target shortly before half-time, some City fans stood up and ironically cheered the save. Guardiola appeared to turn around and glare at those seemingly mocking his keeper. "He is strong enough," he said. "He was nominated with the five best goalkeepers in the world this year. "I am safe with both goalkeepers I have. I am delighted and so happy he is with us. I know I can count on him." Former England striker Alan Shearer on Match of the Day: "I don't know what he was doing. He should not be beaten from there, it's straight at him, it went underneath him, poor goalkeeping. He has to do better." Dr Rebecca Rumbul from the Wales Governance Centre thinks the party could win a seat as some are won by a form of proportional representation. But she does not believe it will gain any MPs in Wales at next year's general election because of the "first past the post" system. She spoke after UKIP won a by-election to see its first MP elected in England. Thursday's victory for Nigel Farage's party led Prime Minister David Cameron to say the general election would be "the most important in a generation". Meanwhile, Labour leader Ed Miliband said his party needed to "reach out" to disaffected voters. A recent BBC Wales poll suggests support for UKIP ahead of the general election has doubled from 7% to 14%. UKIP has already said it plans to open an office in the south Wales valleys. UKIP Welsh MEP Nathan Gill predicts the party's current momentum can carry them to victory in at least one Welsh seat next May. But Dr Rumbul told BBC Radio Wales it was more likely the party would be successful in the assembly elections in 2016. She said people tend to vote differently in the different types of elections with UKIP performing strongly in the European elections in May in comparison to the general election in 2010. "Because of the way the general election system works - the first past the post system - I do think it's unlikely that UKIP will get an MP from Wales," she said. "However, our system in the Welsh assembly is much different and under that system it's actually quite likely that we may see some UKIP AMs returned in 2016." The Wales Governance Centre at Cardiff University examines issues affecting Wales covering law, politics and government. Here's everything you need to know about the show. James Corden is hosting the show live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 5pm(PT)/8pm(ET) on Sunday, 12 February. If you're in the US, you can watch the ceremony live on CBS from 8pm ET. In the UK, you have to wait until 4Music screen the show at 8pm on Monday night. Good luck avoiding spoilers. However, you can watch the red carpet coverage live on E! (151 on Sky, 156 on Virgin, 321 on BT) from 11pm on Sunday. And BBC Music News LIVE will be reporting on the action throughout the night. The show has a line-up to rival Glastonbury. Here's what to expect. Other performers are likely to be announced in the run-up to the show, and there are usually a few surprises on the night itself. There are 84 categories at the Grammys - including "best surround sound album" and "best notes" (C# is our favourite) - so if you're a musician and you don't get a prize, it's probably best to cut your losses and take up ostrich farming. You can see the main nominees at the bottom of this page, or read the full, exhaustive list on the official website of the Grammy Awards. The big fight is between Adele and Beyonce, who go head to head in the three main categories: Album of the year, record of the year and song of the year. We predict Beyonce's politically-charged Lemonade will take the honours for album of the year; while Adele's Hello will take the others, which focus more on songcraft. If we're right, it will be the first time Beyonce's won the main prize. Two years ago, she lost album of the year to Beck's Morning Phase, prompting Kanye West to throw all his toys out of the pram. "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyonce," he observed. Beck declined. Song of the year goes to the people who wrote the music and lyrics. Record of the year recognises everyone who contributed - musicians, producers, artists, catering team, dog groomer, receptionist, Simon Cowell, etc. Very much so. Photographs of the seating plans released on Friday show that Beyonce and Jay Z get the best seats in the house, cementing their position as pop royalty. Beyonce's sister Solange - nominated for best R&B performance - has to sit a row behind, resisting the urge to flick B's ear. Adele sits next to Bruno Mars, while Lady Gaga has an aisle seat. And, in the most unlikely pairing of the night, J-Lo will have to make small talk with Barry Gibb. The name was chosen in a contest - as the ceremony was previously known as the Gramophone Awards. Jay Danna, the contest winner, received 25 LPs as a prize from the Recording Academy. Sturgill Simpson is the dark horse in the best album category. His nomination raised more than a few eyebrows from people who expected David Bowie's Blackstar to be honoured by the Recording Academy. The bad boy of country music, Sturgill covers Nirvana songs and has publicly berated Nashville for being out of touch. Could he do a Beck? Adele gave an uncharacteristically pitchy performance at last year's Grammys - after a rogue microphone fell on her piano strings and knocked everything out of tune. The Recording Academy have "spent a year trying to make it up to her," Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich told E! and they'll be tightening all the screws on all of the mic stands with an industrial-level power tool. Undoubtedly, she'll be back to her usual, flawless self. David Bowie, George Michael, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Sir George Martin, Sharon Jones, Glenn Frey, Prince Buster, Phife Dawg... 2016 was brutal - but that puts the Grammys in a pickle. They have a long history of musical tributes, but no-one wants this year's show to feel like a funeral. "You've got a lot of people incredibly excited about being nominated," producer Kenneth Ehrlich told Rolling Stone. "I don't want to deny them by devoting a third of the show to people who've passed away." However, organisers have announced there will be special segments devoted to Prince - possibly led by Bruno Mars - and George Michael. Frank Ocean's Blonde was one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of 2016 - but it's nowhere to be seen in the Grammy nominations. Don't call it a snub, though. The star simply didn't submit the record for consideration, citing his dissatisfaction with the way the Grammys treated black artists. "That institution certainly has nostalgic importance," he told the New York Times. "It just doesn't seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down." Kanye West, who's up for best rap album, vowed to boycott the Grammys if Frank Ocean wasn't nominated. We'll have to wait and see if he keeps his word. Among the other major stars, Justin Bieber is allegedly skipping the show because he "doesn't think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers" (according to TMZ, anyway). And Drake isn't going to make it to LA, because he's playing a show in Manchester... But that might not be such a bad decision. The show's ratings dropped to a seven-year low in 2016, meaning the star will make more money from a single concert than he would from three minutes' TV exposure. It certainly seems likely. Adele, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and John Legend have all been outspoken critics of the new president. The show has a history of protest. Pharrell, Beyonce and Common all spoke out against police killings of African-Americans two years ago; while Kendrick Lamar performed in chains last year, making a comment on discrimination in America's prison system. Chance The Rapper could make history if his Coloring Book album snags any of the seven awards it's nominated for. The ebullient, gospel-inspired record is the first streaming-only release to be eligible for the Grammys. Although he's locked out of the best album category, David Bowie has five other nominations - and is favourite to win best rock album. But don't place a bet just yet, as he only ever won one competitive Grammy in his life. Rihanna is second to Beyonce as the night's most-nominated woman - she's up for eight awards - but she's likely to be overshadowed in the main categories. Her bold, experimental album ANTI should easily win best urban contemporary album, however. And, while Kanye may complain, don't expect anyone to refuse their awards. Sinead O'Connor is the only artist to have rejected her Grammy outright; while Milli Vanilli are the only act to have their award revoked.

Media playback is not supported on this device It emerged on Friday that Wigan striker Grigg and MK full-back Hodson would get the nod for the trip to France. O'Neill has cut his squad from 28 players with Liam Boyce, Billy McKay, Daniel Lafferty, Ben Reeves and Michael Smith missing out. Northern Ireland start Euro 2016 against Poland in Nice on 12 June. O'Neill told each player on Wednesday if they would be involved in Northern Ireland's first appearance in a major tournament since 1986. Grigg, who scored in Friday night's 3-0 friendly win over Belarus, beat Boyce and McKay to the final striker berth. Smith and and Lafferty lost out to Hodson for the final full-back slot. Northern Ireland take on Ukraine in their second Group C game in Lyon on 16 June and finish against world champions Germany in Paris five days later. O'Neill admitted that his biggest selection dilemma was between Grigg and Ross County forward Boyce. "It was very difficult to tell the players who were not going and it was hard choice between Will Grigg and Liam Boyce," he said at Saturday's squad announcement in Belfast. "Liam had a great start to the season in Scotland before suffering a hand injury. "Meanwhile, Will just kept on scoring - 28 goals for his team and helping them to promotion. "So while it it was difficult decision, I think it was the right one." Northern Ireland squad for Euro 2016 finals: Goalkeepers: Alan Mannus (St Johnstone), Michael McGovern (Hamilton Academical), Roy Carroll (Linfield) Defenders: Craig Cathcart (Watford), Jonathan Evans (West Bromwich Albion), Gareth McAuley (West Bromwich Albion), Luke McCullough (Doncaster Rovers), Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood Town), Lee Hodson (MK Dons), Aaron Hughes (Free agent), Patrick McNair (Manchester United), Chris Baird (Derby County) Midfielders: Steven Davis (Southampton), Oliver Norwood, (Reading), Corry Evans, (Blackburn Rovers), Shane Ferguson (Millwall), Stuart Dallas (Leeds United), Niall McGinn (Aberdeen), Jamie Ward (Nottingham Forest) Forwards: Kyle Lafferty (Norwich City), Conor Washington (Queens Park Rangers), Josh Magennis (Kilmarnock), Will Grigg (Wigan Athletic) Step into Michael O'Neill’s shoes and pick your XI as Northern Ireland bid to go far at Euro 2016 - and then share it with your friends using our team selector.

The brand was acquired by present owner Ranjit Boparan in 2011 when he bought Northern Foods. Mr Boparan, who is known as the "chicken king", last year bought the Bernard Matthews poultry business. Boparan Holdings said that at this stage there was "no certainty" that a sale of Fox's would go ahead. In a statement to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange the company said it had "received a preliminary approach for Fox's Biscuits (the trading name of Northern Foods Grocery Group Limited). "The group's expectation is that any formal offer for Fox's Biscuits/NFGG would be at a valuation in the region of £350m," it added. The company did not name the potential buyer. There was speculation last year that Burton's Foods, owned by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, was interested in buying Fox's Biscuits. Boparan Holdings paid £342m for Northern Foods. The acquisition also included Goodfella's Pizzas, which is not part of the new takeover offer. The holding company also has a restaurant business which includes Harry Ramsden's, Ed's Easy Diner and Giraffe. Fox's Biscuits was established in 1853 and now employs 2,000 people at three sites in West Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Lancashire. As well as Fox's it also produces own label biscuits for supermarkets.

Fox's Biscuits could be snapped up by a mystery buyer, following confirmation that it is the target of a £350m takeover approach.

He was outlining ideas to prevent a repeat of the mass rioting which marred the G20 summit in Hamburg. Some 20,000 police officers were deployed and nearly 500 were injured as rioters torched cars, looted shops and threw stones and petrol bombs. Mr de Maizière drew a comparison with the restrictions on football hooligans. The mayor of Hamburg, Olaf Scholz, apologised to residents this week for the unrest, which he blamed squarely on violent elements among the protesters. "The responsibility for this violence does not lie with the summit or the police, it lies with those who committed this violence, the criminal mob who did not care at all about the people in our city and whose only goal was to commit violence and to destroy," he said. More than 100,000 demonstrators are believed to have attended protests during the 7-8 July summit, many of them peaceful. Speaking to German media, the interior minister said rioters should not be allowed to attend rallies. Instead, they should be made to report to police and wear tags if necessary, as should "highly aggressive so-called football fans". Mr de Maizière also called for tougher action to be taken against squatters, clearing occupied houses immediately. Hamburg, long known for its squats, has a tradition of rioting by the far left. Clashes also broke out at this year's May Day protest in the city, while in 2008 cars burned as extremists battled police on the streets for several hours. It meant Hamburg police were already aware of the potential issues ahead of the G20, drafting in police from around the country. Is thought that other leftist militants arrived in the city from across Germany and beyond. Locals will have limits set on the size of their farms under the proposals. Mr Zuma first announced them in a state of the nation speech on Thursday overshadowed by violence in parliament. Two decades after the end of apartheid, land is still concentrated in the hands of a largely white minority, and remains a sensitive issue. The government is under growing pressure to put more land in the hands of the country's black majority. "Land has become one of the most critical factors in achieving redress for the wrongs of the past," said Mr Zuma, elaborating on the plans on Saturday. "In this regard, the regulation of land holdings bill will be submitted to parliament this year." In the future, foreigners will only be allowed to lease land, not to own it, he said, adding that local farmers would not be able to own more than 12,000 hectares. That is presumably aimed at white farmers who still own much of the best farmland a generation after the end of racial apartheid, says the BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg. There are many reasons for the slow pace of change in the country, says our correspondent, and these new proposals will face strong legal challenges from farmers who argue that smaller plots will not be commercially viable. But the governing African National Congress is looking for votes, and is wary of being outflanked by more radical voices calling for white-owned land to be seized without compensation, he adds. On Thursday, parliament descended into chaos as leftist MPs scuffled with security during Mr Zuma's key annual speech. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), led by Julius Malema, repeatedly interrupted Mr Zuma, demanding answers over a spending scandal. The speaker of parliament then ordered their removal, prompting scuffles. The EFF used President Zuma's annual State of the Nation speech to question him about a state-funded, multi-million dollar upgrade to his private residence. The party has shaken up South African politics with a series of populist proposals to redistribute wealth. The village of several hundred inhabitants is situated in a mountainous gorge in eastern Georgia. It is beautiful here. There is only one problem: As in many other parts of rural Georgia, there are no jobs. "Nearly half of the village population has migrated in search of work to Greece, Italy, or Russia," says Turmishkhan Petriashvili, sitting on a bench under a hazelnut tree. His wife Mzevinar has been working in Greece as a housekeeper since 1997. Her salary, says Mr Petriashvili, helped to keep the family alive in those difficult years. But last month she received only half of her salary, and her long-term employers are thinking of leaving Greece. Across Georgia there are thousands of families like the Petriashvilis. The first wave of migration began here in the mid-1990s after Georgia's two civil wars with breakaway regions, and economic hardships, forced people to migrate in search of work. Greece is the second most popular destination for Georgian migrant labourers after Russia. Unofficial estimates suggest that up to 200,000 Georgian migrants are living in Greece. And the crisis there is having a ripple effect in Georgia, where thousands of families are dependent on money sent by relatives working in Greece, mostly women who are domestic workers or carers for children and elderly people. "Their problems started a couple of years ago when salaries were slashed from an average 800 euros to 500 or less," says Zurab Tsursumia from the non-governmental Civil Development Agency, which has been working on migrants' issues. "The main problem now is that they can't get their salaries. It means that they can't send money back home. "Their families here have bank loans and other financial obligations. "Cutting off this important source of income will cause problems for thousands of Georgians." 10 things you might not know about Georgia According to the Georgian National Bank, before the crisis annual remittances from Greece were about $200m per year. Half of that sum will not reach Georgia this year. "From the beginning of this year there has been a decrease in remittances from Greece by 15-20%, and we expect that figure to go down even further," says Giorgi Kadagidze, Chairman of the National Bank of Georgia. "In short term it's more of a social problem. The loss of $100m is not such a huge sum for the Georgian economy that it will cause some kind of instability, no. "The problem is that this sum is split among tens of thousands of families whose main income - in many cases only income - is from remittances." There is a growing concern that the decrease in remittances might be followed by a mass return of migrants. But some government officials who have addressed the issue in recent days have been reassuring the public that this is unlikely. Back in Lapankuri village, Turmishkhan Petriashvili, who has recently bought a few pigs and will try to sell piglets to make some money, agrees. "If the crisis in Greece gets worse migrants will try to find job opportunities in other European countries like Italy or Spain. "There are not that many options for them here." Ms Sturgeon also said the Scottish government was considering become an active participant in the case. The ruling means the UK government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal exit negotiations with the EU - on its own. It is appealing to the Supreme Court, with a further hearing due next month. The case, which was heard by three judges, is widely regarded as being one of the most important constitutional rulings in generations. The Scottish government had instructed legal representatives to observe the proceedings, but was not directly involved. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox told the House of Commons the government was "disappointed" but remained "determined to respect the result" of the EU referendum. Speaking at first minister's questions at Holyrood, Ms Sturgeon said the ruling would not have come as a huge surprise to anyone who had been following the case. She added: "We will be looking at the judgement very carefully, and yes we will actively consider whether or not there is a case for the Scottish government to become participants in that case." The first minister also said the ruling was "hugely significant and underlines the total chaos and confusion at the heart of the UK government". She claimed the UK government had attempted to avoid a vote by MPs because "they don't have a coherent position and they know that if they take their case to the House of Commons that will be exposed." Ms Sturgeon also reiterated that she was determined to protect Scotland's place in Europe and in the single market "as far as I possibly can". She added: "SNP MPs in the House of Commons will certainly not vote for anything that undermines the will or the interests of the Scottish people." Responding to the ruling, Scottish Labour Europe spokesman Lewis Macdonald said: "This ruling shows that the Tories can't get away with "Brexit means Brexit" any more. "Theresa May must put her negotiating objectives in front of parliament as soon as possible, and respect both the judgement of the court and the vital role of parliament in a democratic country." BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said, if the court's decision was not overturned, there could be delays with potentially "months and months" of parliamentary hurdles. But there was not yet "clarity" - if the judgement was not overturned - on whether there would be a "short, sharp" vote or whether parliament would have to consider complex legislation, he added. He predicted that, although a majority of MPs had backed the Remain campaign, most would ultimately be likely to vote for Article 50, as Brexit had been supported in the referendum. UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said he fears a "betrayal" of the 51.9% of voters who backed leaving the EU in June's referendum and voiced concern at the prospect of a "half Brexit". Security boss and convicted criminal Paul Massey, 55, was shot by a masked gunman at his home in Clifton, Salford, last month. Supt Mark Kenny, of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), urged criminal gangs "not take action into their own hands". He said uniformed officers were not at the funeral, but armed response teams were on standby. They stopped the traffic on a busy road in Salford to allow a funeral cortege to pass by. A pipe band played and crowds lining the street applauded as the white, horse-drawn carriage came into view. But they weren't here to say farewell to a local dignitary or celebrity. This was the funeral of Paul Massey, once dubbed the Mr Big of Salford's criminal underworld. He'd served time for stabbing a man in 1999. In recent years the 55-year-old had attempted to rebrand himself as a businessman and politician - standing for mayor of Salford in 2015. He was shot dead outside his home last month - bringing to fruition his own prophecy, made years earlier, that one day he would fall to a bullet. The search for his killer continues. "Do not take action into your own hands," said Mr Kenny in a BBC interview, appealing directly to criminals. "Speak to the police, speak to us. "I very much hope it is a family day and it is very much about respect for the family. "If anything did happen we will respond appropriately and deal with it." He said, contrary to some reports, that Mr Massey was "absolutely not" a mediator for police. Mr Kenny denied Salford was "a lawless city" and "at the heart of it there is a really good community". But he acknowledged there were "areas of deprivation and individuals who sometimes come together and cause serious crime". Mr Kenny said although there were 19 gangs in Salford, "clearly they are a minority in Salford engaged in criminality." GMP officers have targeted gangs in the city and since January have made 100 arrests and have eight money-laundering investigations. They have also seized 26 firearms, more than £9m of drugs money and large amounts of ammunition. In 1999, Mr Massey was sentenced to 14 years for stabbing a man in the groin outside a nightclub. He was given the title Mr Big by the late Salford councillor Joe Burrows at a meeting to discuss civil disturbances in 1992 - which he always denied having anything to do with. In 2012, he was unsuccessful in his mayoral bid, polling 1,995 votes - 4.45% of the poll - and coming seventh out of 10 candidates. Four down, two to go. Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives and Plaid Cymru have been done and next week I'll be in Builth Wells and Newport for UKIP and the Greens. So what did I learn? In the glorious early morning sunshine over coffee in Bute Park in Cardiff, the Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb gave an insight into the look and feel of the election when he spoke about how health was dominating as a doorstep issue, despite it being devolved. It's become increasingly clear that the NHS will become more high profile than it has ever been in a general election campaign in Wales since the start of devolution. Stephen Crabb says in years gone by the candidates have tried to point out to voters that this isn't an election about the NHS because it's devolved but this time round he says people don't want to hear that kind of answer. I suggested to him he was being disingenuous to use the NHS in this way but his response is that this is being led by voters and it's up to the candidates to follow their lead. And it's a view shared by many of the other parties as well so for the next month the usual neat demarcation between devolved and non-devolved matters will disappear. At the end of the campaign, I suspect the public will be left more confused than ever about devolution. As our poll showed last year, after 15 years devolution there are still huge levels of confusion and a campaign like this is not going to help matters. Kirsty Williams played a straight bat with me outside Merlins cafe in Ystradgynlais where she was taking a break while out campaigning with the Liberal Democrat Brecon and Radnorshire candidate Roger Williams. I tried my best to get some sense of who she'd like to do a deal with but she wouldn't open the door even slightly on a preference, instead stressing the well-versed priorities of dealing with the deficit, taking people out of income tax and supporting the treatment of mental health. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I didn't get anything new out of the interview, other than a reminder of how the party won't relent in its efforts convincing people that the coalition with the Conservatives has been worth it. I've already mentioned my interview with Labour's Owen Smith on Barry Island in a previous blog but here's a link to the full interview if anyone wants to see it. Plaid Cymru is still buzzing after the leaders' debate. Leanne Wood told me she's lost count of the number of interviews she's done. Mine with her yesterday was one of a number she did as she enjoys the kind of exposure previous Plaid leaders can only have dreamt of. In the World of Boats cafe in Cardiff Bay, a group of lads from Birmingham came over and wished her the best for the election having seen her on the debate. That, I was told, is typical of the many exchanges she's had since appearing on the platform next to Ed Miliband and Nicola Sturgeon. One of the big questions of the campaign is whether Plaid can take advantage of this profile and the surge in nationalism in Scotland and translate it into votes on the ground in their existing three seats and three target seats in Wales. Any increase would give them crucial momentum heading into the Assembly elections but any reduction in seats would surely leave them with some big questions to face. The Italy midfielder, 32, had only scored once this season and on Sunday, three of his goals came from headers as he helped his side move up to fourth. Keita Balde Diao and Ciro Immobile also scored for Lazio, with Ahmad Benali and Gaston Brugman getting Pescara's goals. The hosts also missed a penalty as Gianluca Caprari's spot-kick was saved by Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti.

He will leave the role next month after he fulfils "outstanding commitments", a source close to Mr Blair told the BBC. Mr Blair, who took the role just hours after leaving Downing Street in 2007, has written to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to confirm his decision. He will "remain active" in the region in an informal role, the source said. Mr Blair remains "fully committed to assisting the international community in its work with Israel and the Palestinians to bring about progress on the two-state solution", they said. "He believes that he can best support these efforts through working with the key regional players, the USA, the EU and others, without any formal role." By Kevin Connolly, BBC Middle East correspondent No-one is going to consider Tony Blair's period as Quartet envoy a resounding success. But it can't be written off as a failure either, largely because of the mandate he was given. The role came with considerable media fanfare, but in truth they were big headlines heralding a modest set of responsibilities. It was the envoy's job to bring economic development to Palestinian areas, and there were some successes on improving freedom of movement and mobile phone services. But everyone knows some sort of political progress has to come - stability, if not a proper deal - before the Palestinian economy can really flourish. That never came on Mr Blair's watch. But it wasn't his remit either. Some felt he was too comfortable with the Israelis and that the Palestinians never felt he put in enough hours at the job. His time may not be ending gloriously but it is difficult to hold Mr Blair to account for failure in a region where very few international diplomats have succeeded. Although he did contribute to the political process, Mr Blair felt the post was "limited" to supporting the Palestinian people on economic development and strengthening institutions, the source said. But despite the "political constraints" of the position, Mr Blair believes "much has been achieved" over the last eight years. The former Labour prime minister feels an "entirely new approach" is required to find a two-state solution, the source added. Mr Blair will now "concentrate on strengthening relations between Israel and the wider Arab world", which he believes could help "underpin international efforts to end the ongoing impasse in the peace process". "He will also focus on encouraging Israel to take measures which will dramatically improve the daily lives of Palestinians in Gaza," the source said "He believes that achieving this progress on the ground is an essential prerequisite to strengthening broader Arab-Israeli relations." James Robbins, BBC diplomatic correspondent, said Mr Blair's time in the role had coincided with "hope draining away throughout the Middle East peace process". He said the Quartet of powers was now likely to examine its own role in the peace process - as well as the future role of another possible envoy. "So little has been achieved - arguably nothing has been achieved - in the Israel-Palestine process in the past decade and more, so I think if the Quartet examines its own usefulness it will certainly think twice before rushing to have a new envoy," our correspondent added. The perennial underdogs caught a lucky break in the same city where they made their Olympic debut in 1988. The debut became the subject of the 1993 film Cool Runnings, starring John Candy. The 12-person team was in town for a competition on Sunday. Kathleen Pulito, the team's social media director, told the Calgary Herald the team is on a shoestring budget and the van was supposed to take them across the country as they set their sights on the 2018 Winter Olympics. "We're just trying to do what we can, get one place to the next and hoping we don't run out of money," she said. Shortly after the team tweeted about their predicament, a GoFundMe page had sprouted up to try and raise enough money for repairs. David Schnerch was out doing some errands on Saturday when he passed by the van, and saw team members trying to fiddle with the vehicle's battery. Being in possession of a booster cable himself, Schnerch pulled over and tried to give them a jump. When that didn't work he drove the team to Canada Olympic Park himself so that they could make their race. "Just focus on the race," he said. "We'll get you what you need." After their race in Calgary, the team needed to make it to Whistler, British Columbia, for another competition. So Schnerch gave them the key to his truck. "If they still need it, once they're done they'll get it back to me," he told the BBC. Pulito told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation a local car rental agency has donated a van so they can get to Whistler, and some much-needed cash. The team continues to fundraise on online to help fuel their Olympic dreams. The 35-year-old defender made one appearance for Rovers in 2001 after joining from Clyde, before moving to Kilmarnock in 2003. Greer was released by Brighton in May after their play-off semi-final loss to Sheffield Wednesday, having made 234 appearances in six seasons. The ex-Swindon and Doncaster centre-back has won 11 caps for Scotland. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Shahadat Hossain was suspended by the Bangladeshi Cricket Board (BCB) after he and his wife were arrested on suspicion of torturing the girl. Mr Hossain, 29, has previously denied abusing Mahfuza Akhter Happy. He is currently out of prison on bail. He apologised for his "mistake" in a news conference. He said: "I beg forgiveness to the country. To err is human, and I have made a mistake. "For the sake of cricket and my livelihood, I want to return to cricket. I appeal to the nation, the Bangladeshi Cricket Board (BCB), to allow me to return to cricket and correct my mistake." Miss Happy was found in a street in September 2015 with multiple injuries, including a broken leg and a black eye. She told police that she had been working for the couple for a year and that they had beaten and tortured her. Mr Hossain had initially reported her as missing. He later handed himself in to police. He and his wife, Jasmine Jahan Nritto Shahadat, were jailed before being let out on bail two months later. If convicted, they could face jail terms of between seven and 14 years, plus a fine. The charges have been brought under legislation designed to protect women and children from domestic abuse. Local media report that Mr Hossein has already submitted a formal appeal to the BCB, which did not overturn the ban and said there were "legal complications". He has played Test and ODI cricket and became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to be added to the Lord's honours board. World swimming's governing body Fina opted not to impose a ban on the 25-year-old, who tested positive to low levels of a masking agent in 2013. Palmer chose to miss the World Championships in Russia in July while Fina investigated the offence. "I sincerely hope that this process is now over," the Australian said. "My number one goal is to represent Australia at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and I cannot wait to get back on track to achieving that dream." Palmer, a member of the Australian 4x200m freestyle relay team that won Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008, said in a statement that she did not know how the prohibited substance came to be in her system. She felt that the 21-month gap between providing the sample in July 2013 and receiving the result hindered the investigation. "It has been a distressing few months since I was first notified of the positive test back in April 2015," she continued. "Since that time, I made the decision to accept a provisional suspension and missed the Fina world championships in Kazan. "I cannot get back that opportunity to represent my country internationally but I am now looking to the future." The pair will be honoured at the BFI & Radio Times Television Festival in April. Actress Julie Walters will also take to the stage as part of the three-day event. She will share memories in a tribute to comedian Victoria Wood, who died in April. The festival will begin with Palin's induction into the hall of fame, followed by a screening of BBC drama East of Ipswich, which he wrote in 1987. Moffat will be inducted after a conversation on stage with comedian Frank Skinner about the writer's career and his work on Doctor Who and Sherlock - both of which are produced in Wales. Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto will attend the premiere of her new series Guerilla, which also stars Idris Elba and was created by 12 Years A Slave writer John Ridley. Keeley Hawes will also attend the premiere of the new series of her hit drama The Durrells. The Archers: The Trial of Helen Titchener will feature appearances from Louiza Patikas and Tim Watson, who played Rob and Helen Titchener, and Sean O'Connor, the former editor of the radio drama. They will discuss the show's domestic violence storyline, while the cast and creators of Call the Midwife will also appear on a panel. Authors Jacqueline Wilson, Michael Morpurgo and Judith Kerr, who have all had work adapted for the small screen, will also appear at the festival. It will take place from 7 April at BFI Southbank in London. The database became accessible from 18:00 GMT at offshoreleaks.icij.org. The Panama Papers have shown how some wealthy people use offshore firms to evade tax and avoid sanctions. The papers belonged to Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca and were leaked by a source simply known as "John Doe". The company denies any wrongdoing. Last week it issued a "cease and desist " order to prevent the database being made public but the organisation that has the documents, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), went ahead. The documents have revealed the hidden assets of hundreds of politicians, officials, current and former national leaders, celebrities and sports stars. They list more than 200,000 shell companies, foundations and trusts set up in more than 20 tax havens around the world. Among those whose affairs have come under scrutiny include UK Prime Minister David Cameron, Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia, Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine and Mauricio Macri of Argentina, along with Argentinian football star Lionel Messi, Hong Kong film legend Jackie Chan and Spanish movie director Pedro Almodovar. Iceland's Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson resigned after the matter came to light. Mossack Fonseca says it has never been accused or charged with criminal wrongdoing. It says it is the victim of a hack. Offshore companies are not illegal but their function is often to conceal both the origin and the owners of money, and to avoid tax payments. Some 2.6 terabytes of information - 11.5 million documents - was originally given to the German newspaper, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, by "John Doe" more than a year ago. The paper allowed the ICIJ to have access. Through it hundreds of journalists, including from the BBC, then worked on the data. Their reporting was published last month. The ICIJ insists that Monday's online database is not be a data dump of the kind used by the Wikileaks organisation. The ICIJ said: "The database will not include records of bank accounts and financial transactions, emails and other correspondence, passports and telephone numbers. The selected and limited information is being published in the public interest." On Monday, 300 economists signed a letter urging world leaders to end tax havens, saying they only benefited rich individuals and multinational corporations, while boosting inequality. "The existence of tax havens does not add to overall global wealth or well-being; they serve no useful economic purpose," the letter says. Last week, "John Doe" issued an 1,800-word statement, citing "income equality" as his motive. He said: "Banks, financial regulators and tax authorities have failed. Decisions have been made that have spared the wealthy while focusing instead on reining in middle- and low-income citizens." He revealed he had never worked for a spy agency or a government and offered to help law authorities make prosecutions in return for immunity. Although the name John Doe is used, the gender of the source has not been revealed. Anna Dart invoked the legendary Lady Godiva by mounting her white horse, dressed only in body paint, to call for a halt on the Javelin Park scheme. She claims carcinogenic compounds could enter the food chain should the plant go into operation. Gloucestershire County Council said it was unable to comment. The incinerator project attracted strong opposition and was only approved following a public inquiry. Ms Dart, from Minchinhampton, began her ride, with her face disguised as a Mexican "Day of the Dead" character, as part of a "Toxin Free" rally at the Cross in Gloucester. She said: "I was terrified the night before, but it went well and there were about 100 people there. "I wasn't too uncomfortable thankfully, although it was quite cold. "I feel strongly about this because it's completely irresponsible and burning waste, especially plastics, creates dioxins and furans, two of the most toxic and carcinogenic compounds known to man. "Incinerator filters regularly fail, and some of these particles cannot be filtered at all so they are breathed in and also passed from grazing animals into the food chain." Sarah Lunnon, who is stepping down from her role as Green county councillor for Stroud on Thursday, said the scheme was a waste of taxpayers' money. She said: "It will reduce recycling locally and is a really dirty way of producing electricity." On its website contractor Urbaser Balfour Beatty said: "The Gloucestershire Energy from Waste plant now under construction will massively reduce the council's dependence on landfilling, whilst recovering value from the waste in the form of electricity, and recyclable metals and aggregate." Barry Kirby, deputy leader of the Labour group on the county council, said: "The incinerator has been pushed through without common democracy. "It's been 10 years in procurement and technology has moved on, we should not be closed to new options that use the best technology available." Conservative councillor for Hardwicke, Tony Blackburn, who is standing down from his post, said there was a lot of feeling against the incinerator locally and he had tried to fight it from within the group. He said: "It's the wrong process and the wrong scheme." The Liberal Democrats have been asked to comment. Other candidates standing in the Hardwicke and Severn ward are: The decision paves the way for the country to re-enter bond markets after more than a decade. A panel of judges rejected claims made from holdout creditors who had not accepted any of the offers made by Argentina to pay its debt. The country will now be allowed to proceed to pay those claims that have been settled. On Thursday it is due to pay off four of its biggest creditors. However, first payments are only expected next week, when Argentina plans to start raising $12.5bn in new bonds to be issued internationally. Settling the country's debt default has been one of the main campaign promises made by President Mauricio Macri, who came to power in December last year. Holders of the bonds had refused part-payment offered by Argentina and were trying to stop it making payments in the hope of gaining the full amount. Starting in 2005 the country began to workout deals to repay lenders reduced amounts. It had reached settlements with 93% of its lenders, but certain holdout lenders refused to accept cuts to the original loan and interest they are due. Argentina's last President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, called these holdout bondholders "vultures" and refused to negotiate with them. Oil company Exxon Mobil has regained the top slot after Apple shares fell 2.4%, following a 12% drop on Thursday. Apple, which posted disappointing iPhone sales figures on Wednesday, has seen its shares fall 37% since their record high last September. Exxon became number one in 2005, traded places with Apple during 2011, and had been number two since early 2012. At the close on Wall Street, Apple had a market value of $413bn (£261bn), against Exxon's of $418bn. The tech giant has been hit by fears over its future growth, despite record profits. Although the firm said on Wednesday that it had sold more iPhones (47.8 million) and iPads (22.9 million) in the final three months of last year than in any previous quarter, investors and analysts had expected yet more. On Thursday, about $50bn was wiped off Apple's value after the biggest daily drop in the firm's stock in four years. Apple is also facing fierce competition from rivals like Samsung, which accounted for one in four of all mobile phones shipped worldwide last year, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple's share price rose sharply following a revival under Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, which came about first in computers and then the iPod music player, and was then followed by the iPhone and iPad. Apple's shares were worth as little as $3.19 in 1997 when it faced the possibility of bankruptcy, and reached a record $702.1 on 19 September. The referendum was triggered by the Eurosceptic movement which used a new law designed to promote democracy to force a vote by gathering enough signatures on a petition. From the start, activists said this was a chance for voters in the country to express frustration at the EU, in particular what they see as its desire to expand despite democratic shortcomings. Although the turnout was only narrowly above the 30% required to validate the result it has been hailed as a significant Eurosceptic victory. One "No" campaigner at a results party in Amsterdam described it as a "slap in the face of the European monster". In the UK Brexit activists were quick to claim the result showed anti-EU sentiment is growing despite the fact two-thirds of Dutch voters chose not to participate. While a vote in the Netherlands may not widely shape public opinion in the UK, it will embolden those campaigning for the UK to leave the EU. They will argue this result proves public concern over sovereignty and accountability is shared beyond Britain. But Netherlands voters were not asked to simply pass judgement on the EU, and throughout the campaign those promoting a "Yes" vote were frustrated by what they saw as attempts by Eurosceptics to hijack a debate which should have been about relations between Ukraine, Russia and Europe. Some say the multiple layers to this referendum means the result cannot be seen as a true reflection of the scale of euroscepticism in the Netherlands. Nonetheless the country is traditionally a stronghold of European integration, and the rejection of this deal will rattle the nerves of European leaders who are already struggling to maintain unity in the face of economic instability and the migrant crisis. The impact of this on the Ukraine agreement is not yet clear. Although the referendum was not binding, Prime Minister Mark Rutte signalled the result would not be ignored and he would now open discussions with EU leaders about how to proceed. Whatever the practical consequences, this referendum will be perceived and paraded by Eurosceptics as a symbol of growing support for their movement - pertinent timing as the UK prepares to decide its future relationship with the EU.

They're doing it to get hundreds more trout back in the Wandle, a river in London. In the past, all the trout there had died because of pollution. Watch Joe's report as he joins them on their mission. The Ricoh Arena had been earmarked as an option for the injured 27-year-old British & Irish Lions star when his contract at Toulon expires this summer. "He was always a bit of a long shot," Young told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. "He's certainly not pursuing Wasps as one of the options he wants to take forward." Young, a former Wales and British & Irish Lions prop, continued: "It's part and parcel of the professional game. There were one or two other options that he's got. "We just wanted to be in the mix if he decides to come to the Premiership, but we've been led to believe that he's pretty much decided not to take up an offer from the Premiership, which would be us." Halfpenny, who has been with French side Toulon since 2014, has not played this season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his right knee in a World Cup warm-up game for Wales in September which forced him to miss the competition. He is expected to miss this year's Six Nations Championship, having had to undergo reconstructive surgery. His former side Cardiff Blues want him back, while Scarlets have said that they would be keen to take him back to Wales. Halfpenny has the option of another season in Toulon and looks increasingly likely to trigger that clause in his contract. Wasps, ninth in the Premiership, having won just three of their eight games this season, currently have Rob Miller at full-back. Swansea-born Halfpenny has so far amassed 508 points in 62 Wales internationals, making him the their third highest all-time scorer, behind Neil Jenkins (1,049) and Stephen Jones (917). He was player of the series on the British and Irish Lions' victorious tour of Australia in 2013, breaking the records for most points in a series (41, held by Jenkins) and in one Test (19). Halfpenny is just 38 short of 1,000 points in his collective club rugby career for Cardiff, Cardiff Blues and Toulon. Oil and Gas UK's latest Business Sentiment Index drew the gloomiest response from companies since the survey began in 2009. It said "deteriorating market conditions and the scarcity of new business opportunities" continued to be major concerns for the industry. The latest index covered the fourth quarter of last year. With a score of -32 on a -50/+50 scale, the index remained in negative territory for the sixth quarter in a row. The index surveys representatives from both operator and contractor companies, including smaller enterprises. Last month a report by accountancy firm Moore Stephens blamed plunging oil prices for a sharp rise in the number of UK oil and gas companies going bust. Last year, 28 oil and gas service firms entered insolvency - up from 18 in 2014. Moore Stephens said the increase was "an almost inevitable result" of the drop in the oil price and the consequent cancellation of projects worldwide. Prime Minister David Cameron recently announced a £20m funding package to help the North Sea oil and gas sector. The Scottish government also announced a new £12m fund to help people who face losing their jobs in oil and gas to gain new skills and find new work. Oil and Gas UK operations director Oonagh Werngren said: "Many companies remain deeply apprehensive about the future, with two-thirds reporting activity down further in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the previous quarter. "For the majority of respondents, job losses continue, with 54% of respondents reporting a reduction in headcount. Two-thirds of respondents also reported falling revenues." Ms Werngren said firms had also reported progress in reducing costs, with two-thirds of respondents undertaking "intensive cost reduction and efficiency measures" to keep their businesses competitive. These included reviews of internal practices and the application of new technology to "evolve smarter engineering solutions". Ms Werngren added: "Taking a co-operative approach to implementing efficiency measures will help the UK oil and gas industry weather the current downturn and ensure it emerges in robust shape to tackle future economic challenges. "However, both fiscal and regulatory reform also have a key role to play in transforming the UKCS (UK Continental Shelf) into a competitive, low tax, high activity basin that will be attractive to a variety of operators and support the continued development of the sector's world-class supply chain." The Paris mayor's office says the wall will replace metal fences put up for the Euro 2016 football tournament. The project, if approved, is expected to cost about €20m (£17m; $21m) and work should start later this year. The French capital has been on high alert since attacks by jihadists in November 2015 left 130 people dead. Last July, 86 people were killed when a lorry ploughed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern city of Nice. The Eiffel Tower, one of France's most famous landmarks, attracts more than six million visitors each year and the wall is designed to stop individuals or vehicles storming the site, said the assistant mayor for tourism, Jean-Francois Martins. "The terror threat remains high in Paris and the most vulnerable sites, led by the Eiffel Tower, must be the object of special security measures," he said. "We will replace the metal grids to the north and south with glass panels which will allow Parisians and visitors a very pleasant view of the monument." Mr Martins added: "We have three aims - to improve the look, make access easier and strengthen the protection of visitors and staff." The project will also involve reorganising pathways around the tower. Earlier this month, a man wielding two machetes attacked soldiers at Paris's Louvre Museum. President Francois Hollande said there was little doubt it was a terrorist act.

"All sports need flag-bearers," said Hearn, whose son Eddie promotes Joshua for their Matchroom Sport agency. "Joshua is the finest role model I have seen in sport." Saturday's thrilling victory - in front of a post-war British record 90,000 fans - means former Olympic champion Joshua is unbeaten in 19 fights as a professional and is now the WBA and IBF world champion. Woods, 41, won the Masters as a 21-year-old and has since added a further 13 major titles. The American is credited with changing the face of golf. "The Joshua effect is very similar to the Tiger Woods effect, where people who are not so interested suddenly become interested, where young people become aspirational to follow in someone's footsteps," said Hearn. Meanwhile, Tyson Fury has claimed he could beat Joshua with "one arm tied behind my back". Joshua called out his compatriot, who beat Klitschko on points in November 2015, after his victory on Saturday. "Styles do make fights but I am sure I can beat AJ with one arm tied behind my back," Fury said in a Sky Sports interview. 'I don't even need a warm-up if he wants this." Fury, 28, is unbeaten as a professional, with 18 knockouts in 25 fights, but surrendered his world heavyweight titles in an effort to focus on his mental health problems and is currently without a boxing licence and out of condition. Media playback is not supported on this device Bresnan will replace Darren Sammy, who must leave Hobart in mid-December to take part in the West Indies' pre-World Cup training camp. The 29-year-old will join England's Alex Hales at the Hurricanes. "I have been lucky enough to watch the Big Bash over the last few years and I think it is great," Bresnan said. "It's a massive competition and the format works really well and is something that the rest of the world can take on." Bresnan, who has played 23 Tests and last represented England in March, will arrive in Australia in late December. He will be available for the Hurricanes' match against the Melbourne Renegades at Blundstone Arena on 7 January. Meanwhile, Yorkshire have announced plans to redevelop Bradford Park Avenue cricket ground in a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board, Yorkshire Cricket Board and Bradford Council. "Fundamentally, this is about community use at an inner-city ground," said Yorkshire chief-executive Mark Arthur. "If up to standard, the odd first-class match could go there, particularly in 2019 when Leeds hosts a one-day international, an Ashes Test and probably four World Cup games." Defence minister Mark Lancaster acknowledged this would have an impact on civilian and military staff. Mr Lancaster promised to work with them to "determine the future provision" for the sites' occupants. The sites will contribute to the government commitment to provide land for 160,000 homes to be built by 2020. In a written ministerial statement, Mr Lancaster said: "The release of these sites supports the generation of £1 billion through land sales and, in part, supports the contribution of up to 55,000 homes to support wider Government targets within this Parliament. "The intent to dispose of these 10 sites is estimated to provide some £140 million in land sales receipts and land to provide up to 7,000 homes (of which 6,000 are expected in this Parliament), in addition to the land for up to 15,000 homes announced on 18 January 2016." Their home in the hills overlooking the Pacific is close to the singer's local golf course, where he plays every day. After almost 30 years of marriage, Campbell's fourth wife has been by her husband's side during much of his hugely successful career. She has also endured some of the darker days caused by his Alzheimer's disease. The 75-year-old singer is making final preparations for a farewell tour to say goodbye to his fans and release an album of new songs. Sitting in their living room, Kim helps to fill in some the gaps of her husband's failing short-term memory. "I haven't been marred with this thing at all," says Glen. "I accept that I got, what's it called?" "Alzheimer's," says Kim Campbell. "Alzheimer's," Campbell repeats firmly. He tries to make a joke of it. "When was I? I don't remember having that," he laughs. "I haven't felt any different. What's Alzheimer's? That means that you forget things? Well you do that." "We want to keep a sense of humour about it," says his wife. "He'll tell a joke and then laughs and we'll all laugh and then he'll tell it again in a few more minutes. And we'll all laugh again." "I like to joke and laugh," adds Campbell. "I've cried and I've laughed. Laughing is better." Campbell was diagnosed with the degenerative disease, which involves a gradual loss of memory and judgment, nine months ago. But unlike some other well-known victims, notably Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston, Campbell says he has no intention of retreating from public life. At least, not yet. "Glen has always been open about who he is and his life. He enjoys making music and we want to keep doing it and we just wanted the fans to be aware that if he flubs a lyric or something that he's got this condition,' says Kim. "It makes it a little more difficult for him - if he has to rely on a teleprompter a little bit more." Campbell's new album, which he co-wrote, is a poignant look-back at a colourful life spent in the spotlight, and the singer's current state of mind. The lyrics on Ghost On The Canvas reflect Campbell's strong religious faith and the twilight world into which he is slowly retreating. They were co-written by Campbell's producer, Julian Raymond, who kept a journal of things that the singer would say while working on an earlier CD. "They do reflect the place he is today and some of the feelings and emotions he has going through Alzheimer's disease," says Kim Campbell. One track, In A Better Place, includes the line: "Some days I'm so confused Lord, my past gets in my way. I need the ones I love Lord, more and more each day." Mention of the song prompts Campbell to start singing. He trails off and quips: "I really like that song, you know. I hope I don't forget it on the stage." Addictions When the conversation turns to the good old times, Campbell is on firmer ground. His eyes light up as he talks about the big hits, like Wichita Lineman, which was written for him by his long-time collaborator Jimmy Webb. Singing again, he struggles a little but eventually recalls the song's classic lyrics. "I need you more than I want you and I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line." He played for a time as a member of the Beach Boys and took part in countless studio sessions with the music industry's biggest names - from Sinatra to Presley. Campbell's career was marred in the 1970s through his addictions to cocaine and alcohol. He found sobriety but relapsed eight years ago and was convicted of extreme drunk-driving. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail. Campbell refers now to the "stupid idiot stuff" he did in his wild days and counts himself as "blessed" to have survived. "I can tell you one thing that I'd like to tell everybody," he says. "Don't be angry. I've been angry and anger is not good. If you stay that way I feel that you die young, if you've always got adrenaline running through your system about anger." Today, life revolves around his family, music and golf, which he plays every day. His current band Instant People includes four of his children. 'Great dad' In rehearsal, Campbell sings and plays the guitar as if a light has been turned on in his head. He runs through the classics with relative ease, fluffing the odd line. He appears to be only mildly annoyed by his lapse in memory. Siggy Sjursen, who plays bass guitar in the band, says he is in awe of Campbell's ability to perform. "The style he's been playing does not sit in his memory, it sits in his muscles and his emotions which he will always remember. [It] is quite astonishing to see how deep music sits - it's not just your brain, it's emotions in your flesh and spirit," says Siggy. Instant People will be the opening band on Campbell's forthcoming tour. He is scheduled to play dates in the US, and will spend much of October and November performing in the UK. "He's always been such a great dad and we have never really known a day in our lives without music. It will be a terrible day when that isn't around any more," says Campbell's son, Cal, the band's drummer. "The best we can do is always pick up guitars and instruments with him and play and have fun because that's how we know everything is okay." Campbell has a strict medication regime. In recent months, according to his family, the drugs have greatly improved his state of mind. While Campbell is reluctant to acknowledge the finality of The Goodbye Tour, it will be his last. "We try not to worry about tomorrow," says Kim Campbell. "We just want to enjoy each day as it comes. "Oh gosh, yes, one day at a time, that's an old country song," chirps Campbell, as he starts to sing again. "One day at a time, sweet Jesus…." The plan would have put standards into the hands of the livestock industry. Animal welfare groups - including the RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming - were concerned this could lead to a lowering of welfare standards. But others said the rules needed to be changed to reflect advances in science. The government said it had reconsidered the move "in light of views raised". It said the current statutory system would stay in place, but that it would "continue to work with industry" to improve the animal welfare code system. The current animal welfare code on farming chickens for meat and breeding was due to be revoked on 27 April, to be replaced at the same time by new "industry-led" guidelines drawn up by the British Poultry Council (BPC). The BPC would have been charged with enforcing these guidelines. The government had intended to reform other areas of livestock including cattle, sheep and pigs, in the same way. BPC chairman John Reed said: "We're disappointed by the change of policy at Defra. What this means now is that we, along with other livestock sectors, will be left with outdated welfare guidance." The BPC was unaware of the new developments until shortly before the announcement was made by Defra. Mr Reed added: "We supported the move towards jointly-owned guidance and we have contributed a significant amount of resource to this piece of work and are frustrated that it has been repealed before we were able to publish the content. "By revoking its decision, Defra is walking away from an opportunity to ensure welfare guidance is kept up to date with the latest research using industry expertise." A Defra spokeswoman said: "We have the highest standards of animal welfare in the world and no changes have been proposed to the legislation upholding them. "We want to draw more closely on the expertise of the farming industry to ensure our welfare codes reflect the very latest scientific and veterinary developments. "In light of views raised, we have given the matter further consideration and believe we can achieve this objective by retaining the existing statutory codes." Reacting to Defra's decision Peter Stephenson, from Compassion in World Farming, said: "I am delighted, surprised and very, very pleased that the government has recognised the amount of damage that this would do." Andrew Tyler, director of campaign group Animal Aid, said: "We are pleased to hear that sustained pressure has compelled Defra to reverse its decision and retain the statutory element of the codes. That means court cases stand a better chance of succeeding." The RSPCA also welcomed the move, saying it had been concerned guidance documents might not contain the same level of welfare information as the existing codes. A spokesman said: "It is vitally important that the codes of recommendations for farm animals and pets in England remain statutory and developed under appropriate governmental oversight, and so we are very pleased with the government's decision." Meanwhile, Sean Wensley, the president of the British Veterinary Association (BVA) said his organisation had not "opposed the concept of moving to non-statutory codes", which he said were "in urgent need of updating" to reflect the latest animal welfare science. "However, we have questioned the way in which the consultation has taken place and raised concerns that public confidence could be undermined by a process that wasn't sufficiently transparent," he added. The 27-year-old needs surgery on a groin injury that has restricted him to just 10 appearances this season. "The chances are he's going to be out until sometime around April," manager Kevin Nicholson told BBC Radio Devon. "It's really unfortunate for him as his season never really got going and it looks like it's virtually ended before he had had a chance to do anything." He continued: "At least he'll get to the bottom of that problem and that'll be the last he'll see of it in his career." Lathrope rejoined Torquay in the summer after two years at Aldershot. He played 122 games for the Devon club in his first spell between 2010 and 2014 and played in their League Two play-off final defeat against Stevenage in 2011. They were part of a Manchester-based gang which the force said controlled most of the heroin and cocaine trade in Southampton. The six received sentences ranging from suspended jail terms to five-and-a-half years in prison. In May, the gang's three leaders were sentenced to between nine and 12 years. The gang's leaders were: All three gang leaders were convicted of two counts of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and one count of money laundering. Judge Peter Ralls QC told Southampton Crown Court the trio ran a "sophisticated and highly organised drug network". Police said the group known as the Manchester Boys or Manks were thought to have controlled two-thirds of the heroin and cocaine market in Southampton, as well as establishing supply lines in Winchester and Brighton. Over a period of 14 months, couriers made dozens of runs between Manchester and Southampton, exchanging drugs and cash at rendezvous points in the Midlands. Hampshire Constabulary said 30 people had been convicted as part of Operation Buntline - the first time it had taken out an entire drugs network from top to bottom. Det Ch Insp Ellie Hurd said: "There is a big market for class A drugs in certain parts of Hampshire. "Every month we are arresting people involved in the supply of drugs and we are seizing cash, drugs and sometimes firearms." 2 January 2016 Last updated at 01:16 GMT The makers of Concierge say the button can switch off the lights, start the dishwasher and water the garden when you leave the house, all with one press.

Read more coverage from CES Mr Hamilton met with First Minister Arlene Foster at Stormont on Monday. Charter NI, an east Belfast community organisation, received £1.7m from Stormont's Social Investment Fund. Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin last week said some individuals in Charter NI had "connections" to the UDA. He said he believed these individuals had taken part in paramilitary activity "in the past year". Mr Hamilton said ACC Martin's comments were "an accurate assessment of the PSNI's position". "At an operational and community level Charter NI do some very meaningful and positive work. "However, it remains our view that an individual or individuals connected to that organisation continue to be associated with paramilitarism." The meeting at Stormont was also attended by Health Minister Michelle O'Neill and Justice Minister Claire Sugden. In a statement, the executive said that it had been assured by the PSNI there are "no concerns" over the work of Charter NI and that it would continue to work with the community organisation. The executive statement added that "where there is any evidence of criminal activity police should investigate thoroughly and bring those responsible before the courts". "We have also emphasised that any individuals associated with Charter NI or any community enterprise must make a clear choice between paramilitarism and legitimate community work." The board of Charter NI said ACC Martin's comments had "come as a surprise" and they added "we do not condone illegal or criminal activity of any kind". The community organisation has been under scrutiny since October, when its chief executive Dee Stitt gave a controversial interview to the Guardian newspaper. Mr Stitt, a leading member of the UDA, referred to his loyalist band the North Down Defenders as "our homeland security" who were "here to defend North Down from anybody". He also launched a foul-mouthed verbal attack on the government, saying politicians did not care about Northern Ireland. Mr Stitt later apologised for his comments, but resisted calls for his resignation. He took a three-week break from his role while Charter NI completed an "internal review process", but he resumed his job in November. First Minister Arlene Foster was photographed with Mr Stitt when the £1.7m award was made, but later said he had become a "distraction" to the work being carried out by Charter NI. The trend is particularly marked in emerging economies, where people see themselves as outward looking and internationally minded. However, in Germany fewer people say they feel like global citizens now, compared with 2001. Pollsters GlobeScan questioned more than 20,000 people in 18 countries. More than half of those asked (56%) in emerging economies saw themselves first and foremost as global citizens rather than national citizens. In Nigeria (73%), China (71%), Peru (70%) and India (67%) the data is particularly marked. By contrast, the trend in the industrialised nations seems to be heading in the opposite direction. In these richer nations, the concept of global citizenship appears to have taken a serious hit after the financial crash of 2008. In Germany, for example, only 30% of respondents see themselves as global citizens. According to Lionel Bellier from GlobeScan, this is the lowest proportion seen in Germany since the poll began 15 years ago. "It has to be seen in the context of a very charged environment, politically and emotionally, following Angela Merkel's policy to open the doors to a million refugees last year." The poll suggests a degree of soul-searching in Germany about how open its doors should be in the future. It says 54% of German respondents approved of welcoming Syrians to their country. In the UK, where the government has resolutely capped the number of Syrian refugees, the figure was much higher at 72%. A significant proportion of Germans also sat on the fence when they were asked about issues to do with immigration and society. On the question of whether intermarriage was a welcome development, for example, 46% of German respondents were not sure how to respond or they tried to qualify their answers by saying it depended what the circumstances were. This is in stark contrast to other European countries, such as France, where people were much more emphatically in favour of marriages between people from different racial or religious backgrounds. These grey areas on the bar charts could suggest Germany is still grappling with whether it wants to welcome newcomers or not. "There is a lot of uncertainty there," says Mr Bellier. "German respondents are showing a high level of indecisiveness when they are asked if they approve or disapprove of these developments and whether they accept the fact that their country is taking a lead on refugees." According to the data, there are some clear divides in attitudes within continents. In Europe, it is Russia which has the strongest resistance to intermarriage, with 43% of Russians actively disapproving of marriages between different races and ethnic groups. Compare that with Spain, where only 5% would be opposed to such matches. Spain also noticeably has the most respondents who see themselves as global citizens Russia appears to have the strongest overall opposition to immigration. Only 11% of the Russians polled would approve of accepting refugees from Syria, for example. On the other hand, Spain would be the most welcoming of all the countries polled when it comes to receiving refugees from the Syrian conflict. There, an eye-catching majority - 84% - believe they should take in more of those fleeing the five-year civil war. The figures suggest there is also an interesting divide emerging in North American attitudes to refugees. Of those Canadians asked, 77% said they would approve of accepting Syrians fleeing their home country. But in the United States that figure drops to 55%. Indonesia has the weakest sense of national citizenship (4%). Instead, it seems Indonesians have a much stronger sense of localism, with over half of respondents seeing their immediate communities as the most important way of defining themselves. In general, religion plays a much smaller part how people define themselves compared to nationality. The big exception to that rule is Pakistan, with 43% of Pakistanis appearing to identify themselves first and foremost by their religion - considerably higher than any other country. The polling on religion also reminds us of one of the defining differences between old-world Europe and the United States. In the US, 15% of those asked would who define themselves first and foremost by religion. In European countries that figure is only 5%. One problem with polling attitudes on identity is that "global citizenship" is a difficult concept to define and the poll left it open to those taking part to interpret. For some, it might be about the projection of economic clout across the world. To others, it might mean an altruistic impulse to tackle the world's problems in a spirit of togetherness - whether that is climate change or inequality in the developing world. Global citizenship might also be about ease of communication in an interconnected age and being able to have a voice on social media. And for many, it will be about migration and mobility. We are, after all, witnessing the biggest movements of people since the World War Two. This is not just driven by war and conflict. It is also because the world as a whole is becoming more prosperous and air travel is becoming more affordable to the rising middle classes.

Breck Bednar was killed by Lewis Daynes after the 19-year-old lured him to his home at Grays in Essex. Lorin LaFave said: "I want Breck's story to show that there really is evil out there. Not everyone. "But it only takes one evil person to cause this kind of damage." Lewis Daynes admitted murder and has been sentenced to life in jail. Lorin, from Caterham, says that Breck and his friends would regularly spend their evenings playing war games on a server set up by Daynes. "When I would go into his room or walk by and listen I could hear how interesting it was and I could understand why they were socialising this way." She started to get worried that Daynes was having a growing influence over her son and that his personality was starting to change. "Breck was telling me that Daynes didn't think he should have to get off the computer. Daynes didn't think he should have to do chores. Daynes didn't think he should have to do family activities." Lorin took away her son's computer and reported her concerns to the police. "I told them about Daynes's manipulative behaviour and the fact that I thought he was grooming Breck and the other boys. I just said, 'I know there's something wrong because he's changing Breck's behaviour and ideologies.'" She was unaware that the older teenager had sent Breck a mobile phone so they could remain in contact. She says he would tell Breck about lucrative business opportunities, promising in one email that they would work together and make millions of pounds. Lorin thinks the boys were impressed by the fake online persona Daynes had created for himself. "For some reason Breck wanted to believe it. He wanted to be involved with someone who seemed to have such influence, such amounts of money and such knowledge. I think he was like a mentor unfortunately. They were looking up to him." Daynes told Breck they needed to meet face-to-face to discuss business and booked a cab to bring Breck to his home. It was there that Breck was murdered. The family has set up The Breck Bednar Memorial Foundation to try to promote responsible use of technology. Their slogan is Play Virtual Live Real. "The internet is a great tool but play virtually with those friends, live real. Only meet up with people you know face to face in the real world. Breck didn't live real. His reality was death because he believed in some evil person's lies." She knows this is a message young people hear on a regular basis - Breck had an internet safety course a month before he was murdered but she wants to make sure it's one they don't ignore. "If Breck were here he would say, 'Guys I didn't believe it either, but there are dangerous people out there'. Unfortunately it took the toll of his life." She wants young people to imagine the safety message is coming from Breck himself. "What did he say when he was being assaulted by Daynes? Did he think, 'Wow, mum was right?' Did he think, 'Man, I've really messed up?' What went through his head? Because at that point it was too late." Ms LaFave wants the government to invest more money in this area so that every parent can feel confident that there will be a full investigation if they report any online concerns. Daynes was due to stand trial - accused of murder - but admitted the offence at the last minute. He will serve a minimum term of 25 years.

The mother of a 14-year-old boy from Surrey, murdered by a teenager he met through online gaming, says she hopes her son's story will lead to better online safety for others.

Kingsley Burrell, 29, was detained in March 2011 after West Midlands Police attended a disturbance in Birmingham. He later died from a cardiac arrest. In May, an inquest ruled prolonged restraint and a failure to provide basic medical attention contributed to his death. Three officers are being investigated. A statement from the Independent Police Complaints Commission said in 2013 it had found there was a case to answer for gross misconduct against three officers, on the grounds of honesty and integrity in the accounts they provided to investigators. A misconduct hearing is pending. After the inquest the IPCC received a complaint from Mr Burrell's family about evidence given by the police officers. A second investigation has been carried out and a referral made to the CPS for it to consider whether criminal offences may have been committed. A fourth police officer faces a misconduct charge for gross use of force. West Midlands Police said it was co-operating with the IPCC and the CPS and awaited the outcome. In July 2014, the CPS said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone over Mr Burrell's death. He had been detained under mental health laws after calling emergency services to the Haymer shop in Winson Green on 27 March, claiming he had been threatened by two armed men while with his four-year-old son. CCTV footage revealed no sign of armed men, but showed Mr Burrell looking agitated near the counter. Police officers told the family he had gone "berserk" in the ambulance and attacked his own son, and had to be restrained. During the inquest his sister, Kadisha Brown-Burrell said she had visited the mental health unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and had been concerned by his condition. After the inquest Ms Brown-Burrell said if there had been an unlawful killing verdict the family would "see that as having justice".

A police watchdog has referred a complaint made by the family of a man who died while under restraint to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

A win would have ensured Connacht's progress but Toulouse go through along with pool winner Wasps. Tries from Gael Fickou, Arthur Bonneval and Joe Tekori helped a dominant Toulouse to a commanding 19-3 lead. Connacht fought back and John Muldoon's converted try left the visitors just short of a losing bonus point which would have also taken them through. The Irish side started the day top of Pool 2 but second-placed Wasps, as expected, picked up a bonus-point win over Zebre. That left Connacht needing a win while a losing bonus point would be enough if Toulouse did not earn a winning bonus point. It looked bleak for Pat Lam's team midway through the first half as Toulouse powered their way to a 14-0 advantage at the Stade Ernest Wallon. Fickou touched down after sustained pressure before Bonneval burst down the line to score a second converted try for the hosts. Craig Ronaldson's penalty put Connacht on the scoreboard but lock Quinn Roux was shown a yellow card for a deliberate foul four minutes before the break. Jean-Marc Doussain missed the resulting penalty as Toulouse went in 14-3 ahead at half-time. Toulouse extended their lead to 16 points when Tekori rumbled over for an unconverted try seven minutes into the second half. Connacht showed their resilience and determination with a fightback which came close to clinching a place in the last eight. Skipper Muldoon charged over on 54 minutes and Ronaldson added the extras to leave Connacht within a penalty of securing a losing bonus point. Connacht were now the team with the momentum but their attacks were thwarted by infringements, poor handling and excellent Toulouse defending. Toulouse survived to make the quarter-finals while Connacht ended their campaign in third place. Toulouse: Huget, Bonneval, David, Fickou, Perez, Doussain, Bezy, Baille, C. Tolofua, Johnston, R.

Full results from the Associated Press news agency are available below. The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) and consumer group Which? have jointly launched a new tariff, spelling out mortgage fees in a standardised format. The move comes after Which? warned last year that people could be "paying over the odds" due to complex charges. Which? also said there were 40 different names for fees and charges in use, often for the same service. For example an application fee - a charge for assessing and processing an application - could also be named a booking fee or a reservation fee. The CML and Which? were asked by Chancellor George Osborne to work together on the new tariff. It has standard terminology, so lenders will in future use the same names for fees. It will also have a common format, so that each lender will list fees in the same order, with the same descriptions. Lenders representing 85% of the market have agreed to introduce the tariff and place it on their website by the end of the year. Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: "This new approach should make it much easier for people to compare mortgage fees. We hope that all mortgage providers will make these changes as soon as possible." CML director general Paul Smee said: "Lenders have successfully pulled together to put in place some sensible measures to help consumer understanding. "We very much hope that the new tariff and standard terminology will make it demonstrably easier to understand and compare mortgage costs." The 36-year-old hit a 47-ball ton in his side's first game, against England. The opener has batted just once since, scoring four against South Africa as the West Indies topped Group 1 to set up the last-four clash with the hosts. "This is a perfect opportunity to try and pick up where I left off, get a big one for the team and put them in a winning position," said Gayle. West Indies tarnished their record in the Super 10 stage by losing to Afghanistan by six runs in their final match, after having followed the win over England with victories against Sri Lanka and South Africa. Thursday's opponents India have also lost once in the competition - their opening game against New Zealand - but have followed that up with three successive victories. "The only positive you can look from the Afghanistan game is the motive,'' said Gayle. "We saw India bounce back from losing games as well, so it can put us in a strong position as well to actually lift our game and do better on Thursday." Virat Kohli has been key in guiding India into the semi-finals with 55 against arch-rival Pakistan and an unbeaten 82 off 51 balls in the must-win last group match against Australia. Gayle is not surprised by the form of India's master middle-order batsman, who has scored 184 runs at an impressive average of 92. "No surprise there," he added. "I have said it over the years he is going to be the world beater he is today. "He has been fantastic right through the year. He has been in a great form. He can still get runs but in a losing cause. We'll be happy with that as well." The Czech, 26, was stabbed at her home by an intruder on Tuesday and needed four hours of surgery on her hand. "While what happened to me was very scary, I do not see myself as a victim, I do not feel sorry for myself and I will not look backwards," said Kvitova. "I will do everything to return to the sport I love as soon as possible." Kvitova, who won the Wimbledon singles title in 2011 and 2014, is expected to be unable to compete for at least six months. The world number 11 wore a substantial bandage when she spoke to the media for the first time since the attack, and revealed movement had returned to her fingers during a session with her doctor on Thursday morning. Tendons in all four of her fingers and her thumb were damaged, as well as two nerves. "I'm happy to tell you I'm feeling well," she added. "The medical staff, the police, my family and my team have all provided me with amazing support in this difficult situation. "I want to thank each and every one of them for the important part they have played in the past four days. "I have been overwhelmed by the flood of messages and love I have received from the tennis family, fans and the public - thank you." Kvitova's attacker gained access to her apartment block in Prostejov by posing as a utilities man before pulling out a knife and putting it to her throat, and she sustained injuries while pulling the knife away. Police released an identikit image of the attacker on Thursday. In November, consumers owed a total of £178.2bn on credit cards and loans, figures from the Bank of England show. The monthly increase was the largest since February 2008 and compares with a rise of £1.2bn in October. The rise in consumer credit follows signs of increased spending on the High Street. Retail sales volumes rose by 5% in November compared with the same month in 2014, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The Bank of England figures mean that the average person in the UK now has borrowings of £2,759, even before mortgages are taken into account. The Money Advice Trust, the charity which runs National Debtline, said it was concerned by the figures, and expected an increase in personal debt in the months ahead. "These figures confirm that we do need to keep a watchful eye on the huge growth in consumer credit we are now seeing," said Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust. "Increased borrowing is to be expected in an economy that is recovering - but such steep rises in borrowing in recent months are a cause for concern." £1.5bn extra consumer credit £0.4bn on credit cards £1.1bn loans and overdrafts It also comes at a time when consumers are saving less. In the last quarter of 2015, the ONS said households saved 4.4% of their income, the equal lowest ratio for 50 years. "This will fuel concern that consumers are borrowing more and saving less to finance their spending, which is likely a consequence of relatively high consumer confidence and extended low interest rates," said Howard Archer, the chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight. However, other experts said that increased consumer borrowing provided a useful boost to economic growth. "Credit flows are continuing to strengthen gradually, providing much-needed support to the economy as growth is hindered by slowing real income gains, the fiscal squeeze and the strong pound," said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. Mr Abe said he was accepting a court-mediated settlement reached after a long stand-off between the central government and local authorities. The government wants to move the US Futenma airbase from its densely populated site to a more remote area. But local officials and residents want the base removed entirely. Japan has already began land reclamation work off the shore of Camp Schwab, the US base in Henoko, south of Nago city. Mr Abe said he would now be ordering that work to stop, but that the government's plan was still to eventually relocate the base to Henoko. The US has about 26,000 US troops and several bases in Okinawa as part of a long-standing security alliance forged with Japan after World War Two. Resentment at the US presence has been growing among Okinawans, particularly since the 1995 gang-rape of a 12-year-old girl by US troops. Residents have also complained about the environmental impact of land reclamation. Kevin McCarra, a former football correspondent for the Guardian, was seen coming out of a hotel in Avignon on Thursday evening and last sighted on local CCTV. His family had appealed on social media for information on his whereabouts. Later messages on Twitter said he had been located. His wife, Susan Stewart, had urged people to get in touch stating that they had planned to watch the Iceland v Hungary game at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday evening. His brother-in-law Hugh Stewart also appealed for information. In a post on Facebook, he said: "My brother in law, Kevin McCarra, the former football correspondent with the Guardian and Times has gone missing while on holiday in Avignon, France. Kevin and my sister Susan Stewart were going to some Euro games so can anyone who is in France for the games please keep a look out for Kevin." Mr McCarra, who is from Glasgow, also previously worked at the Scotland on Sunday, The Sunday Times and The Times. He also rounded on the organisers' decision to draw the pools that pitted England, Wales and Australia against each other. England's 33-13 defeat by Australia means Wales reached the quarter-finals with a Pool A match against the Wallabies to come on Saturday. "We don't have the burden of needing to win the game to qualify," said Gatland. "It was the group of hell, we can take the shackles off now," he added. Gatland's side face Michael Cheika's men at Twickenham in a game that will decide who tops the pool - and which opponents they face in the quarter-finals. Media playback is not supported on this device South Africa, Scotland or Japan lie in wait from Pool B in which each of those teams have won two of their three games to date. Australia's triumph at Twickenham ended hosts England's hopes and Gatland says also having Wales in the group as well as Fiji was "ridiculous". "We knew how tough this group was going to be right from the start, and not just with England, Australia and ourselves, because Fiji are a tough proposition as well," he said. "I think if Fiji had been in a couple of other groups, they would have qualified for the quarter-finals as well. "It has been not just the group of death, but the group of hell, basically, for all of us. "Everyone is making a thing about the first home country to hold a World Cup to miss out on the quarter-finals, but the stupid thing, as we all know, is why was the World Cup draw done three years ago? "That's just ridiculous as far as I am concerned. If they had followed the football model, then we wouldn't be in this position." Gatland said Australia did Wales "a massive favour". He added: "It's great that we have qualified, but you have got to feel for other people involved in other teams because there is a huge amount at stake. "It's families and livelihoods and all that sort of stuff." The New Zealander said he sympathised with England boss Stuart Lancaster, whose position is under scrutiny. Media playback is not supported on this device "I have a huge amount of respect for what he has done - when he took over the job, in terms of the discipline he has instilled in that side and how his players conduct themselves," added Gatland. Wales must end a 10-match losing streak against Australia if they are to win Pool A. Wales beat Uruguay in their opener before stunning England 28-25, then saw off Fiji's stern challenge before Australia helped ensure their progress "A lot of people have written us off, and we have demonstrated that character when we are under pressure," said Gatland. The assault began when three car bombs exploded at the gate of the plant in Taji, north of the capital. Six men wearing explosive belts rushed in and blew up gas tanks, before security forces won back the facility. IS, which controls large parts of western and northern Iraq, has stepped up attacks in Baghdad recently. It has claimed the latest incident, which began after dawn at the Taji facility, 20km (12 miles) north of Baghdad. A fireball shot up into the air as the three gas tanks were blown up by the militants who stormed the plant. Those killed in the blasts are reported to include workers as well as members of the security forces. 11 May 2016: Car bombs in Baghdad kill 93 people, including 64 in market in Shia district of Sadr City 1 May 2016: Two car bombs kill at least 33 people in southern city of Samawa 26 March 2016: Suicide attack targets football match in central city of Iskandariya, killing at least 32 6 March 2016: Fuel tanker blown up at checkpoint near central city of Hilla, killing 47 28 February 2016: Twin suicide bomb attacks hit market in Sadr City, killing 70 BBC Arab affairs analyst Sebastian Usher says that although IS has suffered recent setbacks in both Iraq and Syria, such an elaborate attack close to Baghdad underlines the threat the group still poses. It comes four days after car bomb attacks by IS killed 93 people in Baghdad on Wednesday - the deadliest day of violence in the capital so far this year, Meanwhile, Iraq remains in political crisis. Divisions among political factions has prevented the formation of a new cabinet. The deadlock has raised concerns about the government's ability to fight IS. Great Britain is "written with real verve" by playwright Richard Bean and is "blessedly funny", according to The Guardian's four-star review. The Daily Telegraph gave the same star rating to a "bold, topical" work. Billie Piper stars in the play as a tabloid news editor who sanctions the tapping of celebrities' phones. MPs' expenses, police corruption and cheque-book journalism also figure in the play, tickets for which only went on sale last week. Rehearsals took place in secret for the production, which opened without previews on Monday. Sir Tom Stoppard, Zoe Wanamaker and Piper's former Doctor Who co-star David Tennant were among the first night audience. According to the Daily Mail's Quentin Letts, Bean's "quick-response" play is "coarse, scatter-gun [and] politically incorrect". Bean, he continues, "catches a sense of careering chaos, of compromised politicians and a political/media/celebrity/legal elite who bribe and blunder and chisel and cheat". The result, writes Paul Taylor in The Independent, is "a farce with fangs [that] puts the whole incestuous culture in the dock and subjects it to merciless ridicule". "Though it feels scattershot in its targets and sometimes mistakes boorish vulgarity for daring satire," writes Stephen Dalton in the Hollywood Reporter, "it nevertheless puts an agreeably lurid and highly amusing slant on current events". Speaking last week, the National's outgoing director Sir Nicholas Hytner denied that any of the characters in Great Britain were based on "any specific individuals". According to the Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish, however, the play contains a "sneakily fictionalised" version of Rebekah Brooks, the former News of the World editor who was cleared of phone hacking charges last week. Another character, played by Robert Glenister, "bears uncanny similarities" to Andy Coulson, the former tabloid editor and Downing Street director of communications who was found guilty of conspiracy to hack phones. The play features projected headlines that mirror the typefaces of familiar newspapers, while mock news bulletins echo the presentation styles of Sky News and the BBC News channel. There is also a video clip inspired by the much-viewed internet spoof that turned deputy prime minister Nick Clegg's public apology over tuition fees into a music video parody. According to the Evening Standard's Henry Hitchings, such "cartoonish" elements are "richly enjoyable" in a show that is "barbed, dense and very funny". Great Britain runs until 23 August in the National's Lyttelton Theatre. That's a 5% rise compared with the A$8.7bn reported in the previous year. Shares in the country's biggest bank went into a trading halt as it announced a A$5bn capital-raising in order to meet stricter regulatory requirements. The money raised comes in the wake of similar moves by many of the country's other big lenders. The banks have been raising cash in response to demands from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority that they bolster their books to be better protected against future financial crises. "Maintaining a flexible and strong balance sheet, including a strong capital position, continues to be a strategic focus for the group," chief executive Ian Narev said in a statement. Earlier in August, ANZ bank raised A$3bn while Westpac raised A$1.25bn. In May, the National Australia Bank raised A$5.5bn. Market analyst Michael McCarthy, of CMC, told the BBC that while the overall profit figures were solid, there were still concerns about a slowing growth trend and that need for additional capital. "The big question for the bank and for shareholders generally is - where will the growth come from in the future?" he said. CBA's results were in line with previous estimates, and the bank said it it had a "positive view" of the country's economy. "The Australian economy has some good foundations," Mr Narev added, pointing out that the central bank's decision to cut interest rates to a record low of 2% was stimulating housebuilding in the country. However, Mr Narev cautioned about risks in the short-term from global economic volatility. The news comes as frustrated Berkshire residents hit by the 2014 floods say "not a lot has happened" so far to stop the river from overflowing again. The section from Datchet in Berkshire to Teddington in London needs £300m for a flood channel and weir improvements. The Environment Agency said a lot of work had been done since last year. East Berkshire was one of the areas worst hit in the UK by the flooding in February 2014. Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead councillor for Wraysbury, Colin Rayner, said in 18 months "not a lot has happened apart from lots of talk, paperwork and lots of schemes". He said: "I believe not one bit of the River Thames has been dredged since the floods, and no improvements made to the weirs. "My fear is that we might be in the same place again if we have heavy rains again." David Murphy, who heads up the flood alleviation project at the Environment Agency, said the scheme was actually "progressing really well". He said, as well as repairing all the affected flood defences, the agency had "carried out site and ground investigation works along the proposed route of the flood channel". He said funding had been found for the first phase of the scheme, which looks at development and design of the flood channel. But he added that another "£45m to £50m" was needed for the construction phase of the scheme. "We're looking at a number of sources from European funds to local levies," he said. The River Thames scheme includes work to construct a flood channel and improve three of the existing Thames weirs. Construction of the flood channel is expected to start in 2020 and is expected to take about five years to complete. Mr Fillon is now seen as the favourite to win Sunday's run-off, after securing 44.1% of votes in the first round a week ago. Mr Juppe had 28.5%. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy was knocked out of the race. The Republican candidate is widely expected to take on far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen next spring. Juppe v Fillon: Battle of France's conservatives French conservatives' election gets personal Fillon under fire over women's rights Polls across France are due to open at 07:00 GMT and close at 18:00 GMT. Self-declared supporters of the centre-right values are choosing between the two former prime ministers. It is the party's first such primary vote, modelled on the US system. Both Mr Fillon, 62, and Mr Juppe, 71, want economic reforms - but they differ widely on how far and how fast to take them. Mr Fillon says France is angry and wants radical change. He is planning to slash 500,000 public jobs. Mr Juppe is proposing to sack just over half that number of people, and is focusing on a message of harmony and diversity. Earlier this week, the two contenders clashed over the level of change they were promising to bring in a TV debate. A poll of 908 debate viewers by Elabe suggested 71% of conservative respondents found Mr Fillon more convincing, as did 57% of viewers of all political stripes. Mr Juppe - who was once the favourite to win this primary - has spent the past week highlighting Mr Fillon's personal views on abortion and gay marriage - widely seen as a bid to mobilise centrist and perhaps even left-wing voters, the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Paris reports. Mr Juppe also said his rival was close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid growing tensions between the West and Moscow over the crises in Syria and Ukraine. "This must be the first presidential election in which the Russian president chooses his candidate," Mr Juppe said. Mr Fillon has argued that the EU and the US "provoked" Russia by expanding in Eastern Europe, calling for an alliance with Russia to fight Islamic State militants in Syria. Mr Fillon, a Roman Catholic, has also complained of being portrayed as a "medieval conservative", describing his opponent as a "man of the system" with no real plans for change. After losing last Sunday's first round, Mr Sarkozy endorsed Mr Fillon. The building is to close for a two-year refurbishment after being taken over by the Willow Tea Rooms Trust in 2014. The Willow Tea Rooms inside, however, is a separate business and will not re-open there when the revamp is complete. Its owner, Anne Mulhern, confirmed she would be recreating the Tea Rooms, which she has run since 1983, inside the nearby Watt Brothers store. The Sauchiehall Street building and interiors were designed by Rennie Mackintosh and built in 1903 for Kate Cranston, who ran several tearooms in the city. Ms Mulhern transformed the Tea Rooms back to their original use in 1983 after the building had been used as a retail unit. She did not own the building, however, which was acquired by the Willow Tea Rooms Trust in 2014. The trust now aims to close the building on 22 June for a two-year refurbishment which aims to restore the structure to its former glory. Ms Mulhern, who also operates the Willow Tea Rooms on Buchanan Street, said it was necessary to move to secure her business. "When we found out that the repairs to our existing building meant that we would have to close for two years, we were devastated," she said. "We still have the Willow Tea Rooms in Buchanan Street but were keen to open near Sauchiehall Street and secure the jobs of our fantastic staff. "It's great that we can remain open with the same staff, same menu, same interiors and same great waitress service - just a few blocks down the street." Ms Mulhern said the Sauchiehall Street Willow Tea Rooms would be recreated on the third-floor of the nearby Watt Brothers department store. It is hoped that the new premises will be ready for customers in July. Watt Brothers, which has operated as a family-run business in Glasgow since 1915, is located at the corner of Sauchiehall Street and Hope Street. Managing director Willie Watt said the addition of the Willow Tea Rooms to the Glasgow store would work for both businesses. He said: "We are a company proud of its history and we're particularly pleased to be working with Anne and her team in including a high-quality, prestige tea room which will complement both our business and the Willow Team Rooms' business which pays tribute to one of our city's great architects. "What could be more appealing for shoppers than a stop-off in our store where they can enjoy a cuppa and some fine food?" Mr Elumelu said the entrepreneurs were Africa's "hope for the future". The 1,000 come from 52 African states and territories and were chosen from some 20,000 applicants. Forbes magazine listed Mr Elumelu last year as the 26th richest African, worth $1bn. The BBC's Lerato Mbele reports from South Africa's main city, Johannesburg, that his donation is the largest by a businessman towards the development of small businesses in Africa. "The selection of these 1,000 entrepreneurs brings us closer to our ultimate goal - to drive Africa's economic and social transformation from within and to radically intensify job creation in Africa," Mr Elumelu said in a statement. He plans to spend $100m to support 10,000 entrepreneurs over the next decade, and to create one million jobs through the initiative, the statement said. Sunday Mail editor Edmund Kudzayi was detained after computers were seized from his office on Thursday. A police spokeswoman told the state-owned Herald paper that he was being held over articles he had written. Earlier this month President Robert Mugabe accused his information minister of using state-owned media to sow divisions in the ruling Zanu-PF party. Correspondents say there is tension in the party over who should succeed 90-year-old Mr Mugabe, who was re-elected president last year. Mr Kudzayi was among several newspaper editors recently appointed by Information Minister Jonathan Moyo. Mr Mugabe had referred to Mr Moyo as the "devil incarnate" for firing editors at state-owned newspapers who were loyal to Zanu-PF. Mr Moyo has fallen in and out of favour with Mr Mugabe and was re-appointed as his information minister last September. The three-year programme is designed to help around 600 "entrepreneurs and aspiring leaders". Finance Minister Jane Hutt said it would help firms become more competitive and win new contracts. Led by Swansea University in partnership with Bangor University, the project is receiving £2.7m from the EU. Shaun Welsh, co-founder of Trojan Construction Management, in Treforest, near Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taff, said such leadership training was "invaluable" when he and David Thomas set up the firm in 2012, after being made redundant. The quantity surveyor said: "Though we had a great foundation and knowledge in construction, we knew little about business or running a company. "The course enabled me to take a step back, and view the business from the outside. "Since starting the course, our company has seen a growth in turnover and profit; we have employed more staff and put into place better procedures which are making all of our lives a lot easier." The accident took place in Dharasu town on Tuesday evening, when the driver lost control over the bus. The state's chief minister, Trivendra Rawat, said the injured were receiving treatment at a local hospital. The state is popular with religious tourists, attracting hundreds of thousands every year. The victims, who were from the central state of Madhya Pradesh, were returning from Gangotri. A senior official told the BBC that that 17 bodies had been recovered from the river. "Rescue teams are trying to find the remaining bodies," he said. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan tweeted that the the news was "painful". He has announced plans to give 200,000 rupees (£2,377; $3,082) compensation to the families of the 21 victims. The council said 1,460 notices had been handed out since waste collection changes started on 27 July. They included a roll-out of garden waste bins and smaller black refuse bins to boost recycling rates. The warnings will lead to fines if residents continue to put out the wrong waste. Most notices - 361 - were handed out in the Riverside area of the city, followed by Adamsdown and Grangetown. No fines have yet been issued in Butetown, Cathays, Fairwater, Gabalfa, Whitchurch or Tongwynlais. A Cardiff council spokesman said: "This isn't a heavy-handed approach as an education programme is running alongside the enforcement process and additional officers are actively working with crews advising and offering support to residents. "But so far this week 593 section 46 notices have been issued to residents who haven't put their waste out in the correct manner. "In order for us to reach our statutory recycling targets residents must adhere to the new waste collection methods. Those who do not will face a fine." All councils in Wales must recycle 58% of their waste by March 2016 or face hefty fines. Townsend has been working with the squad for three weeks ahead of the summer tour and is encouraged by the level of performance. "We are fortunate with the group of players we have," he said. "They work hard, have got a lot of confidence from the last two seasons and are desperate to build on that." The former Glasgow Warriors head coach will take charge of his first international match on Saturday, when Scotland face Italy at Singapore's National Stadium, in Kallang. The touring party will then travel to Sydney to face Australia before ending the three-Test series in Fiji. "It still feels a bit unreal arriving for my first Test match in Singapore," Townsend said. "For our players, it was exciting to tell them that we were to be part of the first international 15-a-side game to be played here. "The first game of a tour is always one you are building up to and I am excited. We have had three weeks of camp, which was a bonus, and have used that time productively. "You put a game plan together, you are working with the players and getting to know some. You have the tracksuit on."

St Pat's led 4-4 to 0-5 at the break and St Paul's improved in the second half with Shea Loye hitting the net. The gap was reduced to six points but St Pat's sealed victory with a late Conal Darragh penalty. It was a third MacRory triumph for the Derry school in the four years and 15th in total. McGuigan and Kearney produced a superb spell early in the match with the St Paul's defence unable to stop the big St Pat's duo. St Paul's slotted over the opening two points of the second half followed by Loye's goal, but the Armagh teenagers failed to mount a serious fightback. St Pat's forward and man-of-the match Patrick Kearney said: "At the start of the campaign we we written off but we knew we could go far. "We moved the ball quickly at the start and they couldn't handle Shane McGuigan and Francis Kearney. "We can definitely go on to win the Hogan Cup but we just want to want to enjoy this first." The airline did not confirm reports a "suspicious" package had been found but said flight BA0274 landed safely. The Boeing 747 carrying 312 passengers arrived shortly before 06:00 local time after "the captain took the decision to divert... as a precaution", BA said. BA flight information says the plane will now leave Montreal at 19:35 local time on Thursday. It is due to arrive at Heathrow at 07:05 BST on Friday. Police and a dog unit are carrying out a search of the aircraft at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International airport. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation footage shows passengers leaving the plane via boarding steps on to the tarmac. BA said in a statement: "The safety and security of our customers, crew and aircraft are our highest priorities at all times. "We are looking after the customers and will provide hotel rooms for them and will rebook them to other flights as soon as we can. "We are working with the Canadian authorities and giving them our fullest support." The flight left Las Vegas at 21:25 local time on Tuesday and had been due to arrive in London on Wednesday afternoon. 25 February 2016 Last updated at 07:33 GMT Tallulah was found in Cornwall at the beginning of January. She was so cold she couldn't move or eat, and had to be tube-fed every 90 minutes. But she's now eating for herself and could be released back into the wild. Her keepers say her favourite food is squid, but she's also a big fan of mackerel. Visitors from far and wide marvel at its lush green mountains and silvery snow peaks together with the centuries-old fortresses and monasteries dotted across this Himalayan nation. The citizens of Bhutan are regarded as being among the happiest in the world. The country measures the quality of life of its people by their happiness, widely known as Gross National Happiness (GNH), rather than by its Gross National Product (GNP), striking a balance between the spiritual and material. Bhutan remained relatively isolated until the 1970s. Although the internet and television were allowed into the country only in 1999, the Bhutanese, particularly the youth, seem to have taken to such modernisations with ease. The people are very active in social media, wear trendy clothes, use smartphones, drive the latest cars and go to karoke bars in the evenings. There is also a construction boom in big cities such as the capital, Thimphu, as the demand to buy a house or flat increases. Nestled in the Himalayas between India and China Population: 730,000 Capital: Thimphu Area: 38,364 sq km (14,812 sq miles) Major language: Dzongkha (official) Major religions: Buddhism (official), Hinduism Life expectancy: 66 years (men), 70 years (women) (UN) Main exports: Electricity, timber, cement, agricultural products, handicrafts But as modernity and consumerism take hold in the Himalayan nation, Bhutan is facing a host of problems, including poverty, youth unemployment, and growing public debt. Bhutan's youth unemployment is around 7.3%, and its external debt has soared to nearly 90% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Bhutanese Prime Minister, Tshering Tobgay, says it is time for Bhutan to face up to the reality. "We have to admit that there is a problem. (We must) rein in the excesses of the government and the people and get down to the hard work of producing goods for ourselves and to export. There is no shortcut to economic growth," Mr Tobgay tells the BBC. Following a sharp increase in public debt, the authorities have restricted bank loans for houses and cars. As a result, car imports, mostly from neighbouring India, have nearly come to a halt. Bhutan, which has a population of around 730,000, earns most of its revenue from exports of electricity to India and also from tourism. Last year a record 100,000 tourists (both international and regional) visited Bhutan bringing in revenue of more than $227m (£141m), the second highest earning sector after exports of hydro power to India. Some people argue more tourists should be allowed into the country to boost employment and revenue. Currently, international visitors from outside the South Asian region have to pay $250 (£155) a day for their visit in advance. The fee includes accommodation, travel and food. If those strict controls were relaxed, some say, mass tourism could bring in much needed cash. But the authorities are cautious. "Our tourism policy has always been high value and low impact. The policy we have followed so far has served us well. We feel that environmentally, culturally and sustainability-wise we cannot afford to have mass tourism in Bhutan," says Chhimmy Pem, head of marketing at the Tourism Council of Bhutan. Many western tourists feel that Bhutan is a magical place and it should retain its exclusivity. "I think Bhutan shouldn't allow mass tourism. We have seen what mass tourism has done to other places. So, it should keep the policy of restricting tourists. Otherwise this special place will lose its charm," says Manuel Doemer, a tourist from Switzerland. However, Bhutan's options are limited. It does not have many products in its export basket. Some people feel that sooner or later the government will have to review its policy. Tour operators such as Sonam Dorji argue that if Bhutan decides to have more tourists, it does not have the infrastructure to meet the expected influx. "The most important thing would be improving the access - air access and road access. At the moment, only one airline is flying into Bhutan. Besides that, accommodation is still lacking in central and eastern Bhutan," says Mr Dorji, executive director of Association of Bhutanese Tour operators. He also points out that internet coverage, the speed and the bandwidth, is quite limited in certain areas of the country and acceptance of credit cards is also not widespread. But, with a growing population, officials realise it will be difficult to generate employment for the youth and they have to be pragmatic. "Our challenge is to increase the number of tourist arrivals, but to spread them throughout the year and throughout the country. So that we don't have tourists bumping into each other," says the prime minister. The reality is in the long-term, the country needs more money. And it will be a challenge for the authorities to keep limiting the number of tourists they let in. The releases reflect progress by President Barack Obama towards achieving his goal of closing the prison, American officials say. The state department has thanked Oman for taking the prisoners. The country is temporarily hosting them until a permanent placement is found. Officials in Oman say they arrived on Thursday and are likely to remain there until conditions improve in war-hit Yemen. Will Guantanamo finally close? Life after Guantanamo This is the largest single transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo, correspondents say, and is a fillip for the president who began his first term of office in 2009 by promising speedily to close the centre. The prison has been repeatedly criticised by human rights activists. All of those most recently transferred were held for more than 10 years without charge or trial. They are part of a series of releases promised by the president for this January as his administration makes plans for the permanent closure of the facility. Other detainees were also moved earlier this month including two Yemenis who were sent to Ghana. The prisoners' rights campaign group Reprieve says that among those released on Thursday is Samir Naji Moqbel who was held for 14 years without charge in Guantanamo. He was taken to the outdoor pens of Camp X-Ray and subjected to severe physical abuse, Reprieve says, before being cleared for release in 2009 with the unanimous agreement of six US federal agencies, including the CIA and the FBI. In 2013, Mr Moqbel wrote about a mass hunger strike at the camp in the New York Times. Reprieve says that many other hunger-strikers in Guantanamo Bay have been violently force fed. Mr Obama has faced opposition over the releases in the Republican-led Congress, where lawmakers especially object to the transfer of prisoners to other facilities within the US. The Gulf Arab country of Oman is a close US ally and has previously accepted other groups of Guantanamo prisoners. It is estimated that there are now about 93 prisoners remaining at Guantanamo - the lowest total since 2002 when President George W Bush opened the facility to accommodate foreign terrorism suspects after the 9/11 attacks on the US. A total of 780 men have been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, the vast majority without charge or criminal trial. The Severn Valley Railway Society, which was set up at Kidderminster in 1965, is marking its golden jubilee with an exhibition. The Severn Valley Railway was built between 1858 and 1862 and originally linked Hartlebury, near Droitwich in Worcestershire with Shrewsbury in Shropshire. During the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, the line was important for transporting freight as well as passengers. The line closed as a commercial service from 1963 to 1970. During July 1965, the group had to send an urgent telegram to British Railways to stop engineers dismantling the line north of Bridgnorth. In February 1966, the group agreed a £25,000 price to purchase part of the line from British Railways. The preservation society opened a section of it as a steam heritage line in 1970. The line now stretches for 16 miles between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. It has become famous for being one of the first lines to introduce Santa Steam Specials. Today, the line takes more than 30,000 parents and children to see Santa at Arley every year. The Victoria Bridge, which carried trains over the River Severn, was cast at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire. When it opened in 1862, it was the largest cast-iron span in the world, David Postle from the Kidderminster Railway Museum said. The group opened a new station at Kidderminster in 1984 - a replica of a station that once stood at Ross-on-Wye. The station is adjacent to the mainline railway that connects Kidderminster with the rest of the country. In the 1970s, Severn Valley Railway became a regular backdrop for filmmakers, attracting stars including David Niven and Richard Powell in the film The Thirty Nine Steps. Today the Severn Valley Railway attracts about 250,000 passengers a year. The company was bought over by the MJM Group in Newry. It has retained the name of the construction firm. However, in the course of the past year it has focused the business on specialist joinery. Today, Mivan employs 102 people, many of them staff who lost their jobs first time around. "Mivan now has a healthy order book," said Brian McConville, chief executive of MJM Group. "We are confident that in a very short space of time it will regain its place as one of the leading companies in the Northern Ireland construction sector." MJM specialises in marine interiors and the fitting-out of cruise liners. Its work overlapped with some of what Mivan did before the Antrim firm went under. After Mivan could not be sold as a going concern, MJM stepped in to buy the factory and its assets. It also retained the Mivan name. Invest NI supported 28 of the jobs. Speaking at an event at the factory, DUP Junior Minister Jonathan Bell said the "revitalisation of Mivan" was welcome news for the Northern Ireland economy. The calculation of a 15% drop since the start of last year came from the annual economic impact report of trade body Oil and Gas UK. It said the number of jobs supported by direct, supply chain and indirect employment had fallen from 440,000 to 375,000. The cuts came as operating expenditure on existing assets was slashed. About £800m (8%) of costs have been cut this year and a further £1.3bn (14%) is planned for next year. Some large fields are coming on-stream, so those cuts will be offset by more than £1bn per year being spent on operating them. The report said cost-cutting could be expected to be the focus of industry activity for the first nine months of this reaction to lower prices. After that, it should move on to improving efficiency and then transforming the industry over three years. Those processes could lead to further job losses. The Oil and Gas UK calculation of job losses is based on a 15% reduction in the direct employees of the offshore industry, down by 5,500 from the official estimate in 2013 of 36,600. The wider impact follows from applying that scale of cut to the supply chain and those who depend, in turn, on those companies' and workers' spending. The industry is responding to revenues falling by 20% last year, and another 30% this year. Analysis by Douglas Fraser, Scotland business and economy editor Offshore oil and gas has previously used the vast scale of its Offshore Europe event in Aberdeen to showcase how big and bold it is. This week: not so much. The industry is hunkered down, counting the cost of contraction. There are still riches to be made from exporting, and Aberdeen is doing that well. But in the UK sector, one insider told me that quite a few companies are "simply waiting to be bought". There's nowhere else to go. Every week brings more redundancies. Last week was Expro. This week, ConocoPhillips put us on stand-by for more bad news on that front, thought most of it in North America. More from Douglas Fraser's blog While the oil price has fallen from $115 (£75) last summer to below $43 (£28) last week, the mature North Sea industry has also been facing the challenges of older fields with higher costs and declining production. It has been pushing hard to get costs down. That effort is aimed at cutting the operational cost of extracting an average barrel of oil, or its gas equivalent, from £17.80 to about £15 by the end of next year. So far, that measure has fallen to £17. Capital expenditure, which peaked at £14.8bn last year, is expected to fall to £11bn this year, much of that large projects which had already begun. After that, it could fall by between £2bn and £4bn in the next three years. With new fields coming on-stream, total production is expected to rise this year for the first time since 2000. The first half of this year has seen a rise of 3%. Deirdre Michie, chief executive of Oil and Gas UK, said: "This great industry of ours is facing very challenging times. "Last year, more was spent than was earned from production, a situation which has been exacerbated by the continued fall in commodity prices. This is not sustainable and investors are hard-pressed to commit investment here because of cash constraints. "Difficult decisions have had to be made across the industry. It is likely that capacity may have to be reduced still further in order for the business to weather the downturn. "The industry is under a lot of pressure and it is now widely recognised that a transformation in the way business is done is required if the UK sector is to become more resilient and competitive in a world of sustained lower oil prices". Ms Michie added that a continued low oil price will inevitably force companies to consider the viability of their offshore assets, and that there was a need for further "lightening" of the tax regime, to encourage further investment in the sector. Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "This report demonstrates that a number of opportunities remain across the Scottish oil and gas industry, even though it continues to face challenges. "It is encouraging to see the industry is making good progress on cutting operating costs and increasing efficiency, both of which are vital to increase competitiveness. With the correct policy framework, and continued action to improve efficiency, the sector can thrive for many decades to come. "In order to achieve this, it is vital that the Oil and Gas Authority continues to drive forward the reform and collaboration required to maximise economic recovery. It is also imperative that the UK government makes good on its commitment to introduce further measures to support exploration and maintain critical infrastructure." The 22-year-old right-hander scored 609 Championship runs at an average of 43.50 as Middlesex won the Division One title for the first time since 1993. "Stephen's game continues to develop," managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said. "He has a great attitude and hopefully this is just a sign of what he is capable of producing." The Shaheen II is based at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) in Saudi Arabia. The Cray XC40 computer is the seventh most powerful machine in the world, said the Top 500 organisation that monitors high-performance machines. China's Tianhe-2 retained its position at the top of the supercomputer list. Shaheen II's place on the list was revealed in the Top 500's latest release of its biannual rankings. The Shaheen (Peregrine Falcon) II has a peak number-crunching capacity of 5.536 petaflops making it, said the Top 500, "the highest-ranked Middle East system in the 22-year history of the list and the first to crack the Top 10". Kaust has spent about $80m (£51m) buying, installing and operating the Cray machine which is about 25 times more powerful than the machine it is replacing. The machine uses 200,000 processors arranged in more than 6,000 nodes, has 17.6 petabytes of storage and 790 terabytes of main memory. By contrast, China's Tianhe-2 has a peak processing ability of 33.86 petaflops spread across 16,000 nodes. A petaflop is equal to about one quadrillion calculations per second. One estimate suggests it would take a human about 32,000,000 years to complete the same task. The machine, based in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia is being used for research projects modelling turbulence in engines, atmospheric dynamics, and renewable energy grids. Industrial partners of Kaust are also planning to use it to help refine their search for minerals and fossil fuels and in the processing of raw materials. In a blog entry detailing the latest list, the Top 500 organisation said the rate of growth in global computing power was slowing down. This was because relatively few new massive supercomputers had been switched on in the last few years. Many of those at the top of the list were installed and first operated in 2011 and 2012, it said. Over the past few years, I have made a habit of asking my fellow Africans from different countries what they think would have been the lot of our continent if the slave traders and colonisers had never set foot here. Some suggest that African societies would have eventually evolved, gradually catching up with the rest of the world in terms of development. Others insist that Africa was already at the same level of development as the rest of the world, but that slavery and colonialism interrupted and stunted our growth. Some others believe that we Africans would have wiped ourselves out with tribal wars and conquests and that the continent would have become a vast space with the few surviving ethnic groups spread out far from one another. I like to imagine that we Africans would have eventually, in the fullness of time, sorted ourselves out. We would have discovered electricity and gravity; we would have invented air conditioners and refrigerators and we would have wondered what lay across the vast oceans, then sent men and women in ships to find out. It may have taken many decades, it may have taken centuries, but African societies would have eventually made their way towards what is known as "first world" status. I also imagine that, at some point, an African would have thought, "My hair is tightly curled and beautiful. But I wonder what it might look like when straightened. "What if my hair were blue instead of black? What if yellow or red? What if gold?" Such an African could then have gone on to invent hair relaxers and dye, despite never having seen a Caucasian with straight, blond hair. It would have been less about "trying to look like white people" and more about creativity, a quest for options. Africans may also have contemplated the possibility of switching skin colour. "Some of us are dark-skinned and beautiful; some are light-skinned and equally beautiful. What if the dark can become light and vice versa?" The first set of "bleaching creams" manufactured may have been carcinogenic. But eventually, an African scientist, unhindered by any guilty feelings around helping "black women make themselves look like white people", would have perfected a bleaching cream that was not dangerous. He may even have received a much-needed government grant to further his research. African women would then have been free to alter the colour of their skin without any adverse health effects. Many of the Nigerian women I know who use skin-lightening products are not necessarily originally dark-skinned. They are already light-skinned women who want to reinforce what they already have. Think of a butcher sharpening his knife or a Naomi Campbell wearing high heels. Some of these women bleach their skin only a few weeks before a big event, such as a society wedding. They know that there will be a crowd of guests and they intend to stand out. Therefore they purchase the most eye-catching jewellery and clothing, and don the most elaborate pompadours. Being light-skinned is a natural stand-out factor in a society where the majority of people have dark skin. By bleaching their skin, these women also aim to "glow in the dark". Nigeria's infamous 419 scammers of the 1990s had a reputation for flashy lifestyles. They drove the biggest cars, wore the most flamboyant clothing, and built the most ostentatious houses. Many of them also tended to prefer being seen in the company of light-skinned girlfriends and wives, women whose complexions "flashed". Females eager to benefit from the scammers' largesse began bleaching their skin. Skin lightening became simply a tool for fetching a wealthy man. Almost every year, a fresh debate erupts in the media around bleached skin and other alterations to appearance that African women embark upon. I suspect that this year will not be different. This topic will once again make the rounds. One of my New Year wishes is that accusations of "wanting to be like white people" or "being ashamed of being black" will not drown out whatever else Africans around the world have to say regarding the various choices they make. What if there were no-one else in the world but Africa and Africans? It is within that premise that I would prefer to see the debates tackled. If you would like to comment on Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani's column, please do so below. The 57-year-old, who commands a huge following on social media, announced his departure by posting a blank, black image on Monday. "Newspapers, as ever, suck all the joy out of everything," he wrote. "Closing down. It was, briefly, fun. Bye." The actor, author and QI host has had an Instagram account since June 2013 and also uses Twitter. His time with Twitter, though, has seen several temporary silences, hiatuses and threats to stop using it. In 2009 he said he was considering giving up on the micro-blogging website because it contained "too much aggression and unkindness". Fry is currently "taking a holiday" from Twitter, telling his "dearest followers" last month he would be "away until May".

The Gulls have never gone down from the fifth tier but are a point from safety with five matches remaining. "You get relegated from this league and you haven't got far to go - there isn't much else out there," Lathrope said. "It's a massive club that shouldn't be in this league, let alone the one below, but it'll be a disaster for the players, the fans - everything." Lathrope, 27, is in his second spell at Torquay and returns to Aldershot, where he played last season, on Saturday. Asked what it would mean to stay up, he told BBC Radio Devon: "It'd be massive, it'd be as big as a promotion in effect - personally as players, it's your careers. "We know the reality of the situation, but we don't want to start worrying and over-thinking about getting relegated. "I haven't given it too much thought yet because I'm fully confident that we'll do the job." Meanwhile, Torquay skipper Courtney Richards will miss the rest of the season after suffering a setback in his recovery from a knee injury. "I spoke to him and I think he just needs a couple of days to clear his head, lick his wounds and get himself over the fact that that's the end of him physically contributing," said Gulls boss Kevin Nicholson. The ex-Barcelona player stunned the Boro defence in the 20th minute when he weaved past two challenges before placing his low shot past Tomas Mejias. Deulofeu then produced a series of stepovers before delivering a cross for Romelu Lukaku who headed in for 2-0. Stewart Downing went closest for Boro with a strike that was tipped over. Roberto Martinez's Everton side will face a Premier League side in the last four when the draw is made on Wednesday, after Southampton's match against Liverpool. Stoke and Manchester City are also in the draw following their wins on Tuesday. The 21-year-old was seen as surplus to requirements at Barcelona when he was sent on loan to the Toffees in 2013 before joining on a permanent deal in the summer. At the Riverside Stadium, the Spaniard provided two magical moments which would not have looked out of place at the Nou Camp. His solo strike came just before midway in the first half. The Spaniard made a beeline for the goal, swept past two challenges, leaving defender Ben Gibson on the floor, before firing into Meijas' right-hand corner. But perhaps the best goal of the game was the second, when he set up Lukaku for the Belgian's 13th in 18 games. On this occasion, Deulofeu was out on the right. He made six stepovers in front of Boro defender Fernando Amorebieta, before shifting the ball to his right foot and finding the 6ft 3in striker with a great ball. "Gerard is a young man in terms of the amount of games that he's played at this level, so he needs a lot of games," said Martinez. "But as a natural talent, he's as good as it gets. "He's got that talent that you dream to have, he's got the talent that anyone would pay for a ticket to watch him." Manager Aitor Karanka might concede that his side were undone by two brilliant goals, however the home side should have posed more problems for the visiting defence. Only Downing tested Joel Robles in the Everton goal, and appeals for handball against Ramiro Funes Mori in the second half were half-hearted. Referee Roger East was not interested and replays suggested it would have been harsh to penalise the Argentine defender. Despite going 2-0 down in 28 minutes, Boro did not capitulate and instead improved markedly after the break. Karanka's men can take heart from Tuesday's display as they return to Championship action and the fight for promotion. There was a touching moment in the 33rd minute when fans inside the stadium switched on the torches on their phones and sang "Ali Brownlee is one of our own". It was a tribute to the BBC Tees commentator Ali Brownlee, who has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Brownlee has been commentating on Middlesbrough matches for 33 years. John Murray, who was commentating for BBC Radio 5 live, said: "He's an absolutely top fella. A thoroughly nice guy. This tribute will mean a lot to him." Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka: "It reminds me of playing against Arsenal last season. "They played with their best starting 11 and Everton did the same, I take that as a complement. They were better than us, really good players in a really good team with a really good coach. "That said, one goal can change a game and I thought if we had scored on 85 or 90 minutes there could have been a big finish." Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It was a fantastic occasion to be involved in the cup. We had to be mature and control the game and we did that really well, especially after the Bournemouth result. It showed we learnt a lot. "It is a terrific feeling to get through to the semi-final and good memory for our football club. "Middlesbrough had a team who are good on the ball but we defended really well. All in all, the two goals were exceptional pieces of quality. More than anything, after keeping a clean sheet from going 2-0 up was very pleasing." Everton could move up into the top six in the Premier League if they defeat Crystal Palace next Monday, while Boro could take top spot in the Championship if they beat Ipswich at Portman Road on Saturday. Prior research has shown how amino acids - the building blocks of life - could form elsewhere in the cosmos. These molecules can form in two versions, but life on Earth exclusively uses just one of them. Now an Astrophysical Journal Letters paper shows how conditions around a far-flung star could favour the formation of one type over another. Amino acids are corkscrew-shaped molecules that can form twisted to the left or right, and chemistry does not inherently favour one corkscrew direction over another. But with very few exceptions, life on Earth makes use of the left-handed version. A famous experiment in 1952 showed how a spark across a soup of simple chemicals representing the primordial Earth could form amino acids - but like many that followed, it formed equal numbers of left- and right-handed types. The idea that amino acids might have been delivered to the early Earth by meteorites - themselves formed from asteroids or comets - provided another route, and studies of meteorites have even shown excesses of left-handed amino acids. Last week, Nasa astrobiologist Daniel Glavin and his colleagues followed up on that finding, saying their research showed that a wide variety of meteor types might play host to excesses of this sort. What remained was to determine the mechanism by which the left-handed version could be preferentially produced in the cosmos, to be picked up and ultimately delivered to Earth. Now, Uwe Meierhenrich of University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and colleagues have found one way that this "symmetry breaking" may happen. They started with chunks of icy material that included several simple molecules: water, methanol, and ammonia - ingredients from which amino acids can be made. They then exposed the ices to ultraviolet light of a very particular type. Light has a polarisation, which is to say that light rays oscillate along a given direction - say, up and down, or left and right. While we can't see this effect directly, it is apparent in polarising sunglasses, which block reflected light that tends to be polarised along the left-and-right direction. The light used by the researchers, by contrast, was what is known as circularly polarised. Rather than along a single direction, the polarisation traces out a corkscrew shape. Light in the regions around a forming star is known to become circularly polarised like this as it passes through vast clouds of dust grains that are aligned by magnetic fields. The experiments showed that the circularly polarised light led to the formation of both left- and right-handed amino acids - but there were slightly over a percent more of the left-handed version. That is the level of excess that Dr Glavin and his colleagues have found in meteorites found on Earth - and the mechanism is a compelling fact in the case for an extraterrestrial origin for Earth's first amino acids. "This excess is pretty cool," Dr Glavin told BBC News. "You've got to break the symmetry somehow, this is critical. But how do you break it? That's one of the most important questions: did life just randomly choose one type over another? It's starting to look like Nature helped a bit." However, Dr Glavin noted that these molecules can swap their forms, and that an unequal mixture of the two types will settle out to an equal mixture in time, a process called racemisation. "These are exactly the kinds of experiments we need to be doing but we do need to keep the big picture in mind," he said. That is, he said, to further shore up the idea that life on Earth started with a delivery of extraterrestrial ingredients, it still remains to pin down the mechanism by which the unequal mixtures can be preserved for the long journey from far-flung stars. The 27-year-old came through the youth ranks at Sixways and has made 173 first-team appearances. "I have witnessed a lot of change but, under the current regime, we're in the perfect place to become the best we've ever been," Arr told the club website. "I want to continue to be a part of developing Warriors into a successful top-tier side." Arr, who has been with the club since he was 10 years old, made his first-team debut in 2007 and also helped England's Under-20 side win the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2008. "Jonny epitomises everything we are trying to achieve at this club," added Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan. "He recognises the importance of competition for places to make a strong squad and continues to raise his game. "His commitment, professionalism and experience are key attributes and he is a great role model for our younger players." The length of his new contract has not been disclosed by the club. The internal investigation into Clarkson's suspension, following a "fracas" with a producer, will be considered by Tony Hall next week. Director of BBC Scotland, Ken MacQuarrie, who is leading the investigation, "is now considering the evidence", a BBC spokesperson said. "Once this has been considered, we will set out any further steps." "The BBC will not be offering further commentary until then," the spokesperson concluded. Clarkson was suspended from Top Gear on 10 March, following an alleged altercation with producer Oisin Tymon. Mr Tymon did not file a formal complaint and it is understood Clarkson reported the incident himself. A lawyer for Mr Tymon said his client "intends to await the outcome of the BBC investigation and will make no comment until that investigation is complete". All remaining shows in the current series were pulled following the incident. Online petition Top Gear is one of the BBC's most popular and profitable TV shows, with an estimated global audience of 350 million. Its success is largely attributed to the contentious host, who has appeared on the show since 1988. An online petition calling for the star's reinstatement - set up by political blogger Guido Fawkes - has accrued more than 975,000 signatures since the presenter's suspension. Clarkson has expressed regret over the incident, which his co-presenter James May labelled "a bit of a dust-up". The host was given what he called his "final warning" by bosses at the corporation last May after claims he used a racist word during filming. He and his co-presenters May and Richard Hammond, are due to renegotiate their contracts with the BBC next month. Warren Gatland's team scored tries through scrum-half Gareth Davies and hooker Scott Baldwin, with 13 points from fly-half Dan Biggar's boot, but missed a bonus point. But Fiji struck back after the break with Vereniki Goneva rounding off a stunning 60-yard move. Fiji paid for small mistakes, with Ben Volavola missing two easy penalties. The result means Wales will reach the quarter-finals if Australia beat England at Twickenham on Saturday. However if Stuart Lancaster's team beat the Wallabies, Wales will probably need to beat Australia on 10 October. England's final game later that evening is against Pool A minnows Uruguay and a bonus-point win is almost a formality for the hosts in Manchester. If England finish on the same number of points as Gatland's team, Wales will go through thanks to their 28-25 win at Twickenham. However, if Australia also finish on the same number of points as England and Wales then the top two will be decided on points difference. If Wales had scored four tries and won a bonus point, it would have meant England needing to gain a winning bonus point against the Wallabies. But Wales never looked like being in that position, and were made to work hard for the win. Fiji came at them strongly after the interval as the home team lost a little of the composure they had shown in the first half. Fiji resisted Wales' rapid start for seven minutes before Scarlets scrum-half Davies threw an outrageous dummy and touched down between the posts. But with their scrum creaking in the face of a ferocious Fijian onslaught, Sam Warburton's men struggled to subdue the Pacific Islanders. Fiji stood up well to Wales' driving line-out, and broke dangerously from their own half with Crusaders-bound fly-half Volavola and wing Asaeli Tikoirotuma embarrassing defenders with their elusive running. But Wales established some control before the interval when the outstanding Biggar was involved twice in a move which ended with hooker Baldwin squeezing over for Wales' second try. Fiji's resistance turned into downright aggression after the break as Wales' kicking game lost its accuracy and the visitors ran at Wales with relish. When Goneva's sublime try was converted by Volavola, Wales' lead was down to four points and they were showing the effects of just four days' rest after their win over England. Biggar restored order with two penalties to take his tournament tally to 36 points before limping off with cramp. But despite Gareth Davies and Alex Cuthbert closely missing out on further tries, Wales were happy with the win. Scrum-half Gareth Davies got the nod, but Taulupe Faletau, Sam Warburton and Dan Lydiate all had good shouts, as did Fiji's Goneva. Wales: Matthew Morgan; Alex Cuthbert, Tyler Morgan, Jamie Roberts, George North; Dan Biggar, Gareth Davies; Gethin Jenkins, Scott Baldwin, Tomas Francis, Bradley Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (capt), Taulupe Faletau. Replacements: Ken Owens for Scott Baldwin (54), Aaron Jarvis for Gethin Jenkins (66), Samson Lee for Tomas Francis (49), Luke Charteris for Bradley Davies (13-26; 66), Justin Tipuric for Dan Lydiate (68), Lloyd Williams for Alex Cuthbert (19-26), Rhys Priestland for Dan Biggar (72), James Hook for Matthew Morgan (70). Fiji: Metuisela Talebula; Timoci Nagusa, Vereniki Goneva, Levani Botia, Aseli Tikoirotuma; Ben Volavola, Nemia Kenatale; Campese Ma'afu, Sunia Koto, Manasa Saulo, Tevita Cavubati, Leone Nakarawa, Dominiko Waqaniburotu, Akapusi Qera (capt), Netani Talei Replacements: Viliame Veikoso for Sunia Koto (74), Peni Ravia for Campese Ma'afu (76), Leeroy Atalifo for Manasa Saulo (76), Nemia Soqeta for Tevita Cavubuti (68), Malakai Ravulo for Dominiko Waqaniburotu (68), Henry Seniloli for Nemia Kenatale (70), Joshua Matavesi for Vereniki Goneva (70), Kini Murimurivalu for Levani Botia (74). Egypt, representing the Organization for Islamic Co-operation, wrote to the General Assembly president to object to the participation of 11 groups. US, EU, and Canadian officials have written to the president of the 193-member organisation in protest. Egypt's representatives did not give a reason for requesting the ban. US Ambassador Samantha Power said the groups appeared to have been chosen for their involvement in gay or transgender causes. "Given that transgender people are 49 times more likely to be living with HIV than the general population, their exclusion from the high-level meeting will only impede global progress in combating the HIV/Aids pandemic," Mrs Power wrote to general assembly president Mogens Lykketoft. She added that efforts to block participation of nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) is becoming "epidemic" and this severely damaged the credibility of the UN. Some of the banned groups include the Asia Pacific Transgender Network from Thailand, the Eurasian Coalition on Male Health from Estonia, and the Ishtar Men Who Have Sex With Men from Kenya. Other vetoed groups were due to come from Guyana, Jamaica, Peru and Ukraine. General Secretary Ban Ki-moon announced in 2014 that the UN would begin recognising the same-sex marriages of its staff. Russia, with the support of 43 nations, including India, Egypt, China, and Pakistan attempted to overturn that decision. In a press release to announce the conference, UN officials "emphasised the need to reach the people most affected by HIV, who continue to be left behind in the Aids response including sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people and people who inject drugs". The conference, which will take place in New York in early June, has the objective of ending the Aids epidemic by 2030. It is hoped the levy will cut the 7.6bn bags given to shoppers at major supermarkets every year, and retailers are expected to spend the money raised from the charge on good causes. Campaigners have welcomed the move, but called for the law to include all retailers and all types of bags. England is the last part of the UK to start charging for plastic bags. The number of plastic bags given out by seven major supermarkets in England rose by 200 million in 2014 to exceed 7.6 billion - the equivalent of 140 per person and amounting to 61,000 tonnes in total. Brenda Chapman said: "I can see the logic in charging for supermarket bags but if I buy a book or clothes I expect a bag to transport it home in." Raymond in Bedford said: "Very happy about the charge for plastic bags, they should never have been introduced in the first place. What an environmental disaster they have proven to be." Katharine in Poole, Dorset, said: "In the 1970s, Safeways used to provide paper sacks for free but charge for plastic carriers. Why doesn't the government revert to something like this?" Plastic bag charge: Five of the most English reactions The government hopes the English scheme will cut use of plastic carrier bags by up to 80% in supermarkets, and by 50% on the High Street. It also expects to save £60m in litter clean-up costs as well as generating £730m for good causes over the next decade. The price hike affects only retailers with 250 or more employees, and unlike schemes in other parts of the UK, paper bags are exempt from a charge. Smaller shops are exempt from the rule change but may choose to charge shoppers for bags as well. Free bags will still be provided for consumers buying uncooked meat, poultry or fish, prescription medicine, certain fresh produce such as flowers or potatoes, and unwrapped ready-to-eat food such as chips. The exemptions mean the move may not be as successful as schemes introduced elsewhere in the UK, campaigners have argued But Alice Ellison, of the British Retail Consortium, said the charge sent out a "confusing, complex message" to customers, adding England should have adopted the same policy as the rest of the UK, where all shops charge for all types of disposable bag. All you need to know about the 5p charge A poll for the Break the Bag Habit coalition of litter charities found 62% of shoppers in England - six percentage points higher than in 2012 - thought it was "reasonable" to charge 5p for carrier bags. Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Asda all said customers were reacting positively to the charge, and it was "business as usual" in their stores. Friends of the Earth said the charge would significantly reduce the number of plastic bags being used by shoppers, but also called for it to apply to smaller shops. Environment minister Rory Stewart said it could make a huge difference, "meaning we can all enjoy a cleaner, healthier country". Regular plastic bags are not biodegradable and can remain in landfill for hundreds of years, Professor Tony Ryan, at the University of Sheffield's faculty of science added. Slade was moved to head of football in Cardiff in May and replaced as manager by Paul Trollope. The former Grimsby Town and Brighton boss left the Bluebirds on 3 June after just 28 days in his new role and was named Charlton boss three days later. "That was my decision, I instigated that," said Slade, who joined Cardiff from Leyton Orient in October 2014. Slade continued, "I believe in my own ability. I've been at Leyton Orient more recently for four and a half years. "[I had] a couple of seasons at Cardiff but it was a mutual decision for me to leave and come to Charlton." Slade has agreed a three-year deal at The Valley and is the club's sixth manager since March 2014. Charlton were relegated to League One after finishing third-from-bottom in the Championship in 2015-16 and nine points adrift of safety, ending a four year spell in the second tier. "I thought it was a good opportunity," Slade added. "The club maybe has lost its way, certainly last season. "But it's an opportunity for me to get this club back on its feet and going in the right direction." The Newcastle United forward has a calf problem and has returned to his club for further treatment. It is another blow for Republic boss Martin O'Neill after the withdrawals of Wes Hoolahan, Shane Duffy, Ciaran Clark and Harry Arter. Everton midfielder James McCarthy is being monitored for a hamstring injury. McCarthy missed Everton's win over Hull on Saturday because of the injury and is a doubt for the Aviva Stadium game. "He'll just take it on a day-to-day basis," O'Neill said on Monday. "He thinks that he might be able to make it - that would be great if he can. If he doesn't, well, we'll just have to do without him." Southampton striker Shane Long, Everton full-back Seamus Coleman and Aberdeen midfielder Johnny Hayes missed Tuesday morning's training session as a precaution. O'Neill also goes into the game without Burnley winger Robbie Brady, who is suspended. Ireland are unbeaten and top Group D with 10 points from their opening four qualifiers, while Chris Coleman's Wales are four points behind in third. Republic of Ireland squad: Goalkeepers:Darren Randolph, Keiren Westwood, Colin Doyle Defenders: Seamus Coleman, Cyrus Christie, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce, John O'Shea, Andy Boyle, John Egan, Stephen Ward Midfielders: Aiden McGeady, Glenn Whelan, James McCarthy, Jeff Hendrick, Robbie Brady, Conor Hourihane, David Meyler, Eunan O'Kane, James McClean, Jonathan Hayes, Daryl Horgan, Callum O'Dowda Forwards: Jonathan Walters, Shane Long, Kevin Doyle They have claimed dirty streets, poor amenities and local authority spending cuts could affect business. Hoteliers and industry representatives have insisted facilities should not suffer even if "money is tight". But local councils in the region said they are doing their best with limited budgets. Toby Tunstall, chairman of Conwy Chamber of Trade, said the popular quayside area of the town is suffering from dirty litter bins and weeds. "When the tourists come, we want to give them the best experience we can - to show Conwy off," he said. "To my mind, not everything in town shows Conwy off for the best. The street cleaner whom we have does a good job, but sadly because of the cutbacks, his hours have been reduced. "So there are times when the town looks as if it needs some work doing." Jon Merrick, tourism and enterprise manager at Conwy council, said they are constantly looking at detail and prioritising the areas to improve. He added: "The public sector is going through difficult times, but we also realise the importance of tourism to the local economy. "Keeping our towns clean is a never ending task, but we do what we can to get the balance right." The Welsh Government estimates tourism contributes £8.7bn to the Welsh economy and supports around 242,000 jobs directly and indirectly. Jim Jones, managing director of north Wales Tourism, said: "Obviously there's a lot of pressure on public sector budgets at this time. "But in the main tourist hotspots, it's still vital that we have good facilities in place. "Tourist information centres and public toilets are still fundamental basics to the tourism infrastructure." In Gwynedd, councils have said spending cuts may lead to the closure of public toilets and tourist information centres. Steven Bristow, who runs a family attraction Greenwood Forest Park, said: "It's still important to invest in tourism facilities, even when money is tight. "It affects repeat business. People may come once, but if they don't have a good experience, they won't come back, and they'll tell their friends." A spokesman for Gwynedd council said the authority is currently looking to try and keep toilets and information centres open by working with other organisations, including private businesses and community councils. The Work and Pensions and the Business select committees released a log provided by a Goldman Sachs banker who informally advised Sir Philip Green. Anthony Gutman has already given evidence to MPs. He told them he had initially warned Arcadia that BHS buyer Dominic Chappell had been declared bankrupt. Mr Gutman also told Sir Philip's company in December 2014 - three months before the sale - that Mr Chappell had little retail experience. The log reveals that after Arcadia was made aware of Mr Chappell's bankruptcy, the company said it had "no interest in proceeding with the sale". However, the bidders continued to "pursue their proposal hard". Sir Philip told Arcadia finance director, Paul Budge, that he would only consider the deal if Swiss Rock, which later became Retail Acquisitions, was "putting in cash/equity themselves and had a prominent retailer". In an email exchange on 15 January, Mr Budge told Mr Gutman that Sir Philip was not prepared to do a deal on the amounts put forward - and the retail frontperson "was not credible". Nevertheless Mr Chappell remained serious about his proposal. The following month, Mr Gutman told Arcadia that although the proposed financial lender to Mr Chappell's company appeared credible, it had not conducted due diligence and there was risk attaching to the Swiss Rock proposal. The Goldman Sachs banker also said that it was not clear that the lender, a hedge fund called Farallon, understood the existence of a pension fund deficit. Within a month of that email, the sale was done. Frank Field, chair of the Work and Pensions committee, said: "The full depth of the extraordinary circumstances of the sale of BHS to Retail Acquisitions are now beginning to come to light, especially with this remarkable record of the toings and froings of the deal to sell BHS to Dominic Chappell provided by the unpaid advisers at Goldman Sachs. "An emerging theme of this inquiry is witnesses seeking to correct and clarify evidence they have given. What we are learning now throws some of the accounts we have heard so far further into question, and opens a series of new lines of inquiry that we are pursuing in advance of testimony from the lead actors in this affair over the next two weeks." Mr Chappell is due to give evidence before another joint hearing of the two select committees next Wednesday. The MPs have also invited Robin Saunders, the Texan banker and close confidante of Sir Philip, to appear within the next two weeks. She helped him raise the money to buy BHS in 2000 and sat on its board, sharing in huge dividend payouts. Harjit Singh Dulai, 44, from Uxbridge, was attacked in Rosedale Park, off Albion Road, Hayes, on the evening of 27 January. He died later in hospital. The accused is due before Wimbledon Youth Court later. As well as murder, he is also facing a charge of possession of an offensive weapon. Five other men were arrested on suspicion of murder. Four have been bailed and one released without charge. Flames could still be seen inside the tower block as crews used lights to search the building floor by floor. Sixty-five people were rescued after fire ripped through Grenfell Tower in north Kensington on Wednesday morning. Police have warned the number of deaths is expected to rise, while PM Theresa May has promised a full investigation. Thirty-four people remain in hospital - 18 of whom are in a critical condition. Firefighters were called to the residential tower at 00:54 BST on Wednesday, at a time when "several hundred" people were thought to have been inside. The tower had around 120 flats. The cause of the fire remains unknown. Dozens of people left homeless by the fire have spent the night in makeshift rescue centres, while well-wishers have been signing a wall of condolence near the site. Photographs have been left alongside messages for loved ones. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea council said it had placed 44 households so far in emergency accommodation. Through the night, people have been donating food, clothes and blankets for those left without homes. Bhupinder Singh, one volunteer handling donations, said: "It is times like this that the best of our community comes out. This is where you find out how good it is to live in England and how good it is to be a Londoner." Questions have been raised about why the fire appeared to spread so quickly and engulf the entire building. BBC Newsnight's Chris Cook says the type of cladding on the outside of Grenfell Tower, installed in 2015, had a polyethylene - or plastic - core, instead of a more fireproof alternative with a mineral core. Similar cladding was used in high-rise buildings hit by fires in France, the UAE and Australia, he said. Appeals are being made on social media for news of friends and family who are still unaccounted for. Among them is 12-year-old Jessica Urbano Ramirez, 66-year-old retired lorry driver Tony Disson and security guard Mo Tuccu, who was visiting friends in the tower to break the Ramadan fast. An emergency number - 0800 0961 233 - has been set up for anyone concerned about friends or family. By Wednesday evening, almost all of the building had been searched but crews were still trying to put out "pockets of fire" in hard to reach places, London Fire Brigade Assistant Commissioner Steve Apter said Checks confirmed the building was not in danger of collapsing, London Fire Brigade added. Survivors of the fire told how they defied official advice to stay put, and ran with their families down dark, smoke-filled corridors to get out of the building. Michael Paramasivan, who lives on the seventh floor with his girlfriend and young daughter, said: "If we had stayed in that flat, we would've perished." Others were concerned that the smoke alarms did not go off. Zoe, from the fourth floor, said: "The way the fire spread so quickly from the fourth floor, all the way up to the 23rd floor was scary." People in the street below described watching as a baby was thrown from a window, people jumped and climbed down the side of the burning tower using ropes made from bed sheets. Jody Martin said: "I watched one person falling out, I watched another woman holding her baby out the window... hearing screams. "I was yelling at everyone to get down and they were saying 'We can't leave our apartments, the smoke is too bad on the corridors'." Grenfell Tower underwent an £8.6m refurbishment as part of a wider transformation of the estate, that was completed in May last year. Work included new exterior cladding and a communal heating system. 127 flats 24 storeys 20 residential levels 4 mixed levels of community areas and residential flats 2016 refurbishment completed The 24-storey tower is managed by the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation on behalf of the council. Before and during the refurbishment, the local Grenfell Action Group claimed that the block constituted a fire risk and residents warned that site access for emergency vehicles was "severely restricted". Policing and fire minister Nick Hurd said checks were now planned on tower blocks that have gone through similar refurbishment. He said authorities discussed "a process whereby we seek to identify towers that might be in a similar process of refurbishment (and) run a system of checks and inspections". Construction firm Rydon, which carried out the refurbishment, said it was "shocked to hear of the devastating fire". It originally stated that the work "met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards". It later issued a new statement, removing the previous mention of the building meeting fire regulation standards, instead saying the project met "all required building regulations". In a statement, Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation, said it was "too early to speculate what caused the fire and contributed to its spread". Council leader Nick Paget-Brown said the buildings were regularly inspected, but a "thorough investigation" was needed. The prime minister has promised a "proper investigation" into the fire. But Labour politicians are calling for answers from the government. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "We need to know what reports were available, what information was given and what actions were taken." A review of building regulations covering fire safety was promised by Prime Minister Theresa May's chief of staff, Gavin Barwell, last year, when he was a government minister, but has not been published. Responding to earlier reports, the Department for Communities and Local Government said it was "simply not true" that a report has been "sat on". Following the Lakanal House fire in south London in 2009, in which six people died, the coroner recommended the guidance relating to fire safety within the Building Regulations was simplified. The government said this work was "ongoing". The government also wrote to councils encouraging them to consider retro-fitting sprinklers, as recommended by the coroner, a statement said. Southwark Council was fined £270,000 for breaching fire safety regulations after the Lakanal House blaze. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning Six towns will be hubs for economic growth in surrounding communities, stretching from Neath to Cwmbran. The minister in charge, Alun Davies, said he would also ensure more public sector jobs were relocated to the valleys "where appropriate". He has been leading a taskforce which has undertaken a #TalkValleys series of consultations over the last year. Mr Davies had already called for an "industrial renaissance" and for the valleys to be more than just "shiny new roads". Our Valleys, Our Future is the result, with the priorities being good quality jobs and skills, better public services and stronger communities. The taskforce is aiming to: Analysis: Can the action plan avoid the pitfalls of the past? The six hubs will each have a particular focus and aim to bring opportunities for people living in nearby villages: "From the start, I have been clear this taskforce will not be another case of the government deciding what is right for the valleys," said Mr Davies. "If we are to succeed, local communities and local people must be at the heart of our work." He will now work on a delivery plan to be published in the autumn. There have been previous attempts to regenerate the former coal mining and steel areas of south Wales with initiatives stretching back nearly 30 years. 1988-1993: Then Welsh Secretary Peter Walker's first valleys initiative, launched in June 1988, claimed to have secured £700m in extra investment, involving 24,000 jobs. More than 2,000 acres of derelict land was cleared by the Welsh Development Agency. The final National Garden Festival was held at Ebbw Vale. Victoria Winckler, of the Bevan Foundation think-tank, has called it a "masterpiece of spin and re-packaged monies" whose main legacy was "a derelict garden festival site and a chain of Wetherspoon pubs across the region". 1993-1997: The second £1bn valleys initiative by successor David Hunt promised a shift away from centralised initiatives towards a "dynamic" programme involving communities more. He wanted the valleys to be treated as a special case and be supported by European funding. 2000-2006: By the turn of the century, with devolution, £1.5bn EU funding under the Objective One programme for west Wales and the Valleys was called a "once in a generation opportunity". But it brought criticism that it lacked focus and spread the spending too thinly with the valleys still relatively poorer. The Wales-wide Communities First programme - which had 24 projects in the valleys - was also set up in 2001. 2007-2017: There were another two lots of Objective One funding awarded (worth £2bn, 2007-13 and £1.89bn, 2014-2020). Communities First was dropped in 2016 amid concerns about its effectiveness. Prof Kevin Morgan of Cardiff University, author of A New Agenda for The Valleys back in 1988, said investment in high quality and affordable transport and improved housing was needed to better connect valleys towns. He said that way, young professionals would be encouraged to live in places such as Pontypridd in Rhondda Cynon Taff. Prof Morgan added: "Pontypridd is the gateway to the valleys and it should fulfil the role of being a major employer hub for the central and upper valleys. "Companies like Admiral would, I'm sure, make it an attractive proposition to put some of their back office functions in Pontypridd. "This would help us to see the interdependence of our cities and Valleys. It's a win-win situation to recognise the interdependence of the two." Mr Davies said the plan presented "an exciting opportunity to focus efforts and resources across government to make real and lasting change". The Loyalist Communities Council (LCC) was launched in 2015. In a statement, it said that "any unionist who votes for the Alliance Party is driving a nail into the coffin of the union". The Alliance Party has strongly rebuked the LCC position, calling the statement "absurd". The loyalist community council has the backing of the Ulster Defence Association, the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Red Hand Commando. The LCC also said no party has done "more to undermine the Britishness of Northern Ireland, and foment community mistrust and division than the Alliance Party". It called for a maximum turnout by unionist voters and endorsed four specific candidates. They are Ulster Unionist Tom Elliott in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, the DUP's Nigel Dodds in North Belfast, the DUP's Gavin Robinson in East Belfast and the DUP's Emma Little Pengelly in South Belfast. In the first two constituencies, the candidates mentioned are the only unionists running, but in the other two seats the DUP faces competition from the Ulster Unionists. In a statement, the Alliance Party said: "In sharp contrast to the DUP, who appear content to accept the endorsement of paramilitaries, Alliance is satisfied to accept their rejection of our principled and consistent stand for the rule of law and against all terrorism. "This absurd statement shows not only the dearth of political analysis within loyalist paramilitaries at this time, but highlights clearly which parties are really willing to take on and challenge paramilitaries, and which are happier to chase and foster their support." In Monday night's UTV election debate, both Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill and Alliance's Naomi Long challenged the DUP's Nigel Dodds to reject the endorsement of a group linked to loyalist paramilitaries. Mr Dodds replied that his party had always opposed paramilitarism. Speaking on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme on Tuesday, the DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said: "I do not seek, nor does the DUP seek the support or endorsement of any paramilitary organisation, and we reject any such endorsement." The Ulster Unionist Party leader, Robin Swann, said: "The Ulster Unionist Party is a party of law and order. "We have not asked for the support of paramilitary organisations nor do we want the backing of organisations still engaged in paramilitary or criminal activity." On social media, former Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt has clarified that he has not asked for and does not accept the LCC's statement of support. Mr Nesbitt was not one of the candidates mentioned in the group's election statement. Tony Blair's former chief of staff Jonathan Powell played a part in setting up the LCC. Mr Powell described the formation of the council as the "last best chance" to include loyalists left behind by the peace process.

Somerset's 151-6 looked below par after Steven Davies (59) and Peter Trego (40) had put on 85 for the third wicket. The Outlaws join Hampshire and Glamorgan at Finals Day on 2 September. The winner of Friday's match between Surrey and Birmingham Bears will complete the line-up at Edgbaston next Saturday. The Outlaws made hard work of the first half of their chase, losing Riki Wessels in the first over and Alex Hales for 14 to a low catch by Trego. Hales was given out on the field, but his dismissal was only confirmed after several replays to see if the ball had bounced, much to the disgust of the England opener and home crowd. When Brendan Taylor was run out after a mix-up with Patel to leave Nottinghamshire four down, the game was in the balance. But Patel and Christian smashed 54 off 5.4 overs to swing the match back in their favour. Despite Patel being run out with 32 needed off 30 deliveries, Steven Mullaney (20 not out) completed the job with his captain to see Notts home with nine balls to spare. Earlier, Somerset had been on course for a much bigger score with Davies and Trego in full flow taking the visitors to 102-2 off 13 overs. Once Jake Ball's superb catch on the boundary got rid of Trego, the rest of the innings stuttered and the 2005 champions could only muster 49 in the final seven overs. The Notts seamer, 29, took 6-17 in the second innings of the series-clinching third Test win in South Africa. He has taken 330 wickets in 90 Tests, and is top of the International Cricket Council's Test bowling rankings. "It's not just in the number of wickets he's taken, but in terms of match-winning performances," said Newell. "I think to become number one Test bowler in the world, as he's now achieved this weekend, is a fantastic thing for Stuart. "He has these runs of great form and Saturday was one of those examples. "I think if you're looking at English Test bowlers since the history of the game he's got to be in the top five now." The fourth and final Test against South Africa begins at Centurion on Friday, with England set to be without fellow fast bowler Steven Finn because of a side strain. Whitney, 45, is preparing to shape his squad ahead of his first full season in charge after being appointed the Saddlers' permanent boss on 1 June. "We understand it'll be different this year," Whitney told BBC WM 95.6. "With the amount of players out of contract, it means we're not going to hit every one of them so we need to be ready and flexible." Whitney, who took temporary charge after the dismissal of Sean O'Driscoll in March, guided Walsall to a third-placed finish last season but saw their promotion hopes end with a 6-1 aggregate defeat by eventual play-off winners Barnsley in the semi-finals. With Walsall set to announce their retained players list in the next few days, Whitney has already stated his desire to keep in-demand striker Tom Bradshaw at the Banks's Stadium, but is confident any players - either those already at the club or any new recruits - will notice the difference he is trying to make. "I want players to walk in here and know this can be a special place," said Whitney. "Those coming in for pre-contract talks with me will notice there's an energy and that comes from me and all my staff. "Financially we may not be able to compete with the big boys in this league but physically we can - team ethos, work ethic and discipline can stand for a lot in this league and that's what we're going to push." The Northern Irish driver finished second at Wales Rally GB, 26 seconds behind world champion Sebastien Ogier. Meeke, 36, and co-driver Paul Neagle secured three podium finishes in 2015, including a first World Rally win in Argentina in April. "My future's not secure yet but I hope this goes some way to try to secure that," he said. "I hope things will come clearer in the next week or so." Meeke's second place finish was the first top-three finish by a United Kingdom driver at the event since England's Richard Burns was third in 2001, and came 20 years after Scotsman Colin McRae won the Rally of Britain. "I really enjoyed it here right from the beginning," Meeke said. "My rhythm was good right from the start of the rally. "Seb never got too far away but I don't think we ever had a serious threat to win the rally against Seb unless he made a mistake." Dungannon's Meeke finished fifth in the drivers' championship and helped Citroen secure runners-up to Volkswagen in the manufacturers' title standings. "Coming into the last rally of the season, the situation with Citroen and the manufacturers' championship was really important," Meeke added. "We had that job to consider - and to secure Citroen second place made it a good weekend." Media playback is unsupported on your device 27 September 2014 Last updated at 20:31 BST A spokesman said a saucepan, thought to contain homemade explosive material, was left at the front door of Carnagh Orange hall, outside Keady on Friday night. The police said they were investigating reports of the attack, that has been condemned by both unionist and republican politicians. One man survived, a second died and a third is still missing after the Belgian vessel overturned on Tuesday. An investigation into the cause of the incident will be carried out by Belgian authorities, as will the missing person enquiry, the Coastguard added. A salvage operation is expected to begin later on Thursday. A temporary exclusion zone has been put in place around the vessel to allow the operation to take place. The vessel from Belgium capsized off Ramsgate on the Kent coast at about 23:00 GMT on Tuesday. Dover Coastguard said weather conditions at the time were "relatively benign" and the sea had been calm. A man was rescued from the upturned hull at 07:30 GMT on Wednesday after he was spotted clinging to the vessel by a passing boat. A second man "showing signs of life" was rescued from the sea later in the day but died in hospital. The third crewman remains unaccounted for. An extensive search involving helicopters and boats was called off for the day late on Wednesday due to fading light. The 17-year-old was stabbed to death after a night out in Bath in June 1984. More than 90 people were arrested but no-one was charged with her murder. Avon and Somerset Police say forensic advances could lead to new clues in the case. Det Insp Julie Mackay said they were contacting hundreds of people to ask them for DNA samples. The A-Level student was last seen alive in the early hours of Saturday June 9 in Broad Street after deciding to walk home alone. Her body was discovered later that morning by a milkman, close to a block of garages in St Stephens Court, Lansdown. Since then, new forensic techniques have enabled police to develop of a full DNA profile of the suspected killer. "We are now cross-checking that DNA with that of all people with links with Melanie or who we know were in Bath at the time and may be of interest," said Det Insp Mackay. "It is a long and laborious process but I believe Melanie's murderer is within that group." Police have also appealed for a "significant witness," who contacted police five years ago, to come forward again. Det Insp Mackay said the person had "important information". "All we need is a name," she said. Mr Bent of Claremont Lane, Esher appeared at North Surrey Magistrates Court in Staines earlier. He is next to appear at Guildford Crown Court on 16 October and was bailed. The 37-year-old, who played for clubs including Wigan Athletic, Charlton Athletic, Everton and Leicester City, was arrested in Esher on 13 September. Mr Bent also played as a striker for Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers, Ipswich Town and Birmingham City during his career. He is believed to have retired from football in 2012. In June, his family failed to overturn a government decision not to hold a public inquiry into his killing. A lawyer for the Northern Ireland Secretary told Belfast's High Court that as the challenge had failed, the family should pay the full costs. But the judge rejected the application. Sources have said that the bill would have been in the region of at least £150,000. Mr Justice Stephens said Mr Finucane's family had succeeded in establishing that investigations into his killing had not been in compliance with Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights. One of Pat Finucane's sons, John, criticised the government for trying to make the family pay the legal bill. "I think it was a very vindictive application," he said. "The only way that that could be viewed is something that is quite mean, petty, and I think designed to stymie any decision by our family to go for an appeal." Mr Finucane was a high-profile lawyer in Belfast who had represented clients including convicted IRA members, some of whom had taken part in hunger strikes at the Maze prison. He was shot dead by loyalists in 1989 and his family have campaigned for an independent inquiry to examine UK state collusion in the murder. Three years ago, Prime Minister David Cameron apologised to the Finucane family. He agreed to a review of the case by Sir Desmond de Silva QC, but stopped short of a public inquiry. In December 2012, a report by Sir Desmond said there was collusion in the murder of Mr Finucane. It said the state had facilitated the killing, and made relentless efforts to stop the killers being caught. Mr Finucane's family have said they will continue to campaign for a full public inquiry into his killing. Mikel believes the arrival of Guus Hiddink as interim boss has helped the Blues start to recover from a low of 16th place in the Premier League. "The atmosphere has improved since the change of manager," Mikel said. "Jose is a fantastic manager, but sometimes football is a cruel game and you have to move on." Mikel added: "He came back to the club a second time and won two trophies but now he is gone. Is it the right decision? We will only see in the future." The champions dismissed Mourinho on 17 December - at that moment they were only one point above the relegation zone - and turned to Hiddink to rescue their season. Dutchman Hiddink also managed the Blues on a temporary basis for the final three months of the 2008-09 campaign. Mikel is one of only a few players, along with defenders John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, who were at the club during Hiddink's first spell, which ended in FA Cup glory. "He (Hiddink) hasn't changed much yet, but he was here before and he knows the place and all the staff," Mikel said. "We are down there in the table for a reason so he can not come in and perform miracles. "We have had three games now without losing, so (we) are making the right steps." Mikel, who got limited game-time under Mourinho, making only two starts in five league appearances, could not explain Chelsea's meek title defence this season. "It is difficult when you are not playing, as you do not really know what the problems are," Mikel added. "I was not playing that much under Mourinho. It was a collective thing - the players and the manager were not performing." Chelsea, currently 14th in the table with 20 points, travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday, hoping to register their first win under Hiddink. Overseas sales in the "manufactured goods" category were down by more than 9%. These represent an eighth of Scotland's exports of goods. The machinery and transport category, which accounts for a third of Scottish goods exports, was down by 5%, or £319m at £5.8bn. That was a sharper fall than the UK declines registered in the data. The UK figure for machinery and transport was barely down, at just below £108bn. UK exports of manufactured goods were down by 6% on 2014, to less than £26.9bn. The new figures do not include overseas sales of services such as banking, insurance, technical and professional skills or tourism. The figures reflect a worldwide slowdown in trade, and also the problems exporters faced from the strength of sterling. The other big sector in export of Scottish manufactured goods is whisky. That dominates the "beverages and tobacco" classification, which saw a continued slide of 4.4% in exports, to just under £4.5bn. While exports fell, imports rose, according to the HMRC's latest "regional" trade figures. The machinery and transport category of imports, which grew to account for half of all goods imported from overseas to Scotland, grew by £886m, or 16% during last year. Total exports of goods from Scotland fell by 11% last year, while the UK as a whole saw a fall in the overseas sale of goods of 2.7%. Exports of goods from Scotland to the European Union were down 20% in only one year - by 17% to Germany and by 23% to the Netherlands. The USA remained the biggest single export market, with a one-seventh share, but the total value was down 3.5%. The quarterly survey of companies by the Scottish Engineering trade grouping, just published, also reflected slides in both output and exports. The figures were slightly improved on the final quarter of 2015. While 29% of companies in the survey said orders were up, 40% said they were down. Machine shops were particularly negative on orders. On exports, there was a six-point gap between fallers and risers, making it the tenth negative quarter. The electronics sector, however, saw strongly positive signs of exports picking up. Output volume has been negative for five quarters, with 27% reporting a rise, and 36% falling. There was a balance of 26% of respondents saying they were shedding staff, and the same proportion reporting they were taking on more workers. The quarterly survey was also slightly negative on recruitment throughout last year. One of the larger engineering-based companies based in Scotland, Aggreko, has produced full year results that reflect a wide range of changes in the world economy over the past year. The provider of temporary power generation was hit by the fall in oil and gas prices, where it had been a provider of power on fracking projects, though it has partly offset that by doing better in petrochemicals and refining. The company reported the impact of a slowdown in the growth of power demand in emerging economies. The weakness of the mining sector hit operations in Australia, Brazil, Peru and Chile, while power shortages in South Africa helped grow orders. The Glasgow-based company, which makes diesel and gas generators at its Dumbarton plant was badly affected by a gas contract in Bangladesh that required re-negotiation, and slower payments from clients, notably in Venezuela and Yemen. It warned of security concerns in Iraq, and instability in Yemen, Venezuela and Libya. It renewed a contract to supply temporary power in Japan, which began following the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster. And although it has pulled out of bidding for the Olympics in Brazil this summer, it provided power to the first European Games in Baku and to the ICC World Cup in New Zealand, where it also put power generators in place following cyclone damage. Aggreko had revenue of £1.5bn in 2015, and pre-tax profits fell by 13% to £252m. Despite that fall in profits, and a warning that the 2016 pre-tax profit will be slightly lower than 2015, the share price was boosted 13% after publication of the annual results. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 0.9% in the three months to June, compared with the previous quarter. On an annual basis, the Thai economy grew by 0.4% from a year earlier. Months of political turmoil before the coup caused a drop in exports, foreign investment and tourism. Krystal Tan from Capital Economics said the coup helped calm political unrest and boost confidence in the economy. "Growth is set to pick up further in the coming quarters, but it will take time for the recovery to gain a firmer footing," she said. "The junta has made spurring the Thai economy one of its top priorities since coming to power. For instance, its moves to delay tax hikes, accelerate budget disbursements and clear the way for investment approvals to resume should help support domestic demand." Thailand's National Economic and Social Development Board, which compiles the growth data, also released revisions to its first quarter figures. The revised figures show the economy contracted by 1.9% rather than the 2.1% decline initially reported for the period from January to March. A technical recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth. 26 April 2016 Last updated at 16:22 BST The crowding turned into a crush and 96 people died, with hundreds more being injured. It was the biggest tragedy in British sporting history. Families of the people who died have campaigned for many years to find out what happened on the day of the disaster. Now the results of a special investigation, called an inquest, have been announced. It says that the police, ambulance service and other organisations made mistakes that led to the disaster. It also says that the fans were not to blame. Ayshah's been looking at what happened on that day. In February, Twitter announced that 125,000 accounts since mid-2015 had been banned for the same reasons. "Daily suspensions are up over 80% since last year, with spikes in suspensions immediately following terrorist attacks," said the firm. It added that it continued to work with authorities on the issue of extremism. In the past, Twitter has faced criticism over the level of extremist content that has been detected on its network. Besides increased human efforts, Twitter said it had benefited from the use of spam-fighting tools that can help automatically detect problem accounts. One third of the recent batch of suspensions were identified via such methods, the firm added. "We have expanded the teams that review reports around the clock, along with their tools and language capabilities," said Twitter in its blog. "We also collaborate with other social platforms, sharing information and best practices for identifying terrorist content." However, the move was described as a "short term solution" by Nikita Malik, a senior researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, an anti-extremist group. "What we're trying to do as an organisation when we work with social media companies like Google and Twitter is to help them have a more pro-active role," she said. She added that it would potentially be more beneficial to focus on promoting counter narratives that challenged the message of extremist propaganda. More than 120,000 people signed a petition backing Finn's Law, named after a dog who was stabbed while chasing a suspect in Hertfordshire. Speaking during a parliamentary debate on the petition, Policing Minister Brandon Lewis said new legislation could be brought in next year. "None of us think of police animals as just equipment," he said. "They are an important part of the job." German Shepherd Finn was stabbed in the head and chest and his handler received a hand injury in Denton Road, Stevenage, after they pursued a suspect on 5 October. At the moment, those who attack police dogs and horses are prosecuted for causing criminal damage, but campaigners want the animals to be given the same status as injured officers. Mr Lewis told the Commons: "It doesn't seem to me to properly convey the respect and gratitude that we do and should feel for the animals involved, and for their contribution to law enforcement, and indeed public safety more widely." Peter Scotter shouted "you are in our country now" when he attacked his victim, who was with her young son, at a Sunderland shopping centre. The 55-year-old, of Beach Street, Roker, Sunderland, admitted racially aggravated assault by beating and racially aggravated harassment. He has 66 previous convictions and was told he was facing a jail sentence. Both offences were based on Scotter's hostility towards a particular religious group, namely Islam, the court heard. Judge Stephen Earl heard the victim was standing outside the Bridges shopping centre in July when Scotter grabbed her veil, almost throwing her to the ground. Laura Lax, prosecuting, said the attack had left the victim feeling as if she could not go out. Tony Hawks, defending, said Scotter had recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumour under his tongue and was due to undergo surgery. During the abuse, Scotter was heard to swear at the woman and call her a "stupid" Muslim. He continued to make derogatory comments when he was being interviewed after his arrest, Miss Lax said. Scotter's previous convictions include actual bodily harm and racially aggravated criminal damage. She accused China of "trying to hack into everything that doesn't move in America", and urged vigilance. US officials had named China as the chief suspect in the massive hack of the records of a US government agency earlier this year. China had denied any involvement, and called US claims "irresponsible". Speaking at a campaign event in New Hampshire, Ms Clinton said that China was stealing secrets from defence contractors and had taken "huge amounts of government information, all looking for an advantage." She added that she wanted to see China's peaceful rise but that the US needed to stay "fully vigilant". "China's military is growing very quickly, they're establishing military installations that again threaten countries we have treaties with, like the Philippines because they are building on contested property," she said. US officials have blamed China for a major data breach of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that was revealed in June. The hacking of federal government computers could have compromised the records of four million employees. US intelligence chief James Clapper called China a "leading suspect" after the incident. But China dismissed the accusation, saying that it was "irresponsible and unscientific". China has previously argued that it is also the victim of hacking attacks. Republican presidential candidates have used the recent OPM cyber hack to attack President Obama's administration, accusing it of "incompetence". Marco Rubio and Rick Perry have called for the US to threaten sanctions against organisations linked to hacking, while Mike Huckabee has argued that the US should "hack China back". Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Martin O'Malley has called for better funding for cyber security. The hack against the OPM is not the first time that China has been blamed for a cyber attack against the US. An earlier attempt to breach OPM networks was blocked in March 2014, with the US saying China was behind the attack. The first one involved a cyclist who was seen on the hatch markings off the eastbound carriageway of the M8, before J15 Townhead, Glasgow, at about 07:30. The other involved a pedestrian who was seen walking southbound on the hard shoulder of the northbound M77, near J1 Dumbrek Road. Traffic Scotland tweeted warnings and said police were being notified. Jakub Gorski, 19, was found with a stab wound to the chest in Hope Street, Higher Broughton, at about 19:45 BST on Friday evening. He was taken to hospital where he later died. On Sunday Greater Manchester Police arrested a fourth man on suspicion of murder. Three other men, aged 26, 26 and 49, who were also questioned over the killing have been bailed. Det Ch Insp Terry Crompton appealed for anyone with information to come forward. He said: "Jakub's death has left a gaping hole in his family, who are understandably devastated by the loss of their young son and brother. "To lose a child in such violent circumstances must be incredibly difficult to come to terms with, and my officers and I offer our most sincere condolences to the Gorski family at this time. "We are doing everything we can to ensure we bring those responsible for his untimely death to justice, and the public can assist us in this task."

Widespread discontent at economic hardship, decades of autocratic rule and corruption erupted into mass demonstrations in December 2010 after a young, unemployed man, Mohamed Bouazizi, set fire to himself after officials stopped him selling vegetables in Sidi Bouzid. Around 300 people were killed during the subsequent unrest, which forced Ben Ali to resign in January 2011, after 23 years in power, and go into exile in Saudi Arabia. He was later sentenced to life in prison in absentia. In October 2011, Tunisia held its first democratic parliamentary elections. The moderate Islamist Ennahda party won more than 41% of the vote in the constituent assembly tasked with drafting a new constitution. Veteran dissident Moncef Marzouki was then elected president. Since July 2013 a stand-off between Ennahda and its secular rivals, triggered by the assassination of two leftist politicians and other violence blamed on Salafists, has thwarted efforts to complete the draft constitution. Opposition supporters took to the streets to demand a non-partisan caretaker government until the constitution was finished and new elections were held, and in December 2013 the main political parties agreed on appointing Mehdi Jomaa as prime minister.

The downfall of Tunisia's President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali inspired pro-democracy activists across the Arab world.

United fought back from two goals down against a Dundee side reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of goalkeeper Scott Bain. "Their attitude was brilliant, they kept going and they're disappointed in there," said Dundee boss Hartley. And United's Paatelainen added: "The boys have tremendous spirit." The result moved the Tangerines to within seven points of second-bottom Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership. And Paatelainen's men have eight games to play, versus Kilmarnock's seven. "Delighted with the point," the Finn told BBC Scotland. "Little bit disappointed we never took the full three points. I thought it was there for us. "The second goal, we fell asleep a little bit. They punished us. "The way they fought and kept believing - thankfully we got there in the end. "You can't take anything for granted, even though we have a game in hand. We have to win that game and the rest of them. "We just keep our heads down and keep working and hopefully, hopefully come the end of the season, we're not last, at least." The drama on the pitch was greeted with exchanges on the touchline, with Paatelainen engaging with opposition fans. "Those Dundee supporters, they were giving me plenty pelters throughout the game," he explained. "When we scored, they were very quiet and I couldn't hear anything so that's why I was like, 'where are you, have you gone away?' No, no they were still there. "I gave them a little wave afterwards, that's the way it goes. Our supporters do the same to the opponents and they do the same to us. I have received that 25-30 years, so no problem at all - I quite enjoy that. Well, sometimes." Hartley too was animated at times when interacting with the opposition bench and said: "It's great stuff isn't it? "That's football, we're in the heat of the battle, in the moment but that's it. End of the game, it's forgotten about." Dundee's players surrounded referee Steven McLean after Bain had fouled Billy McKay, insisting that Kevin Holt's presence in the box meant there had not been a clear goalscoring opportunity. But McLean's decision was a red card and McKay converted the resulting penalty before heading a stoppage-time leveller to cancel out Kane Hemmings' first-half brace of strikes. "I'm looking at Kevin's position, can he get into cover quick enough? I don't know," Hartley said. "I'm not going to complain too much, it's not my style. I'm just disappointed for the players. "At 2-0, we're comfortable. Then the Bain sending off definitely changes the game and it gives them a grip. "They threw everything at us. I thought we defended brilliantly. Anything into the box we dealt with and then just that one moment [when Mckay scored]. "I'm proud of the players because I've got a terrific bunch."

Managers Mixu Paatelainen and Paul Hartley saw the positives in their sides' enthralling 2-2 Dundee derby draw at Tannadice.

Police Scotland said the serious assault happened inside a pub in Drum Street at around 14:40 on Sunday. Officers said the 28-year-old man's injuries were not life-threatening. They appealed for anyone with information about the attack to contact them.

Swans and Wales captain Williams, 31, has been linked with Everton while West Ham are said to be interested in striker Andre Ayew. A spokesman said Swansea had not received a formal approach, but boss Francesco Guidolin said he was uncertain about the defender's future "Williams is a worrying one, he would be hard to replace," said Gabbidon, who played alongside Williams for Wales. "He's about to turn 32 - time is running out for him a little bit and he probably deserves to play at a higher level and test himself against the best in Europe." Williams is due to return to training this week after taking an extended break following Euro 2016, when he captained Wales to their first semi-final in a major tournament. He has made over 300 appearances since joining the Swans from Stockport County in 2008 and was heavily linked with Everton during the summer of 2015. At that time the Toffees lined-up Williams as a possible replacement for England international John Stones who was a target for Chelsea and Manchester City - though stayed at Goodison Park. With Stones again being linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, new Everton manager Ronald Koeman could need a new central defender. Ayew was Swansea's top scorer last season with 12 goals in 35 Premier League appearances. The Liberty Stadium club have already seen three forwards depart this summer with Portuguese striker Eder joining Lille, Italian Alberto Paloschi going to Atalanta and Frenchman Bafetimbi Gomis signing for Marseille on loan. The club have been linked with moves for Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa as well as Sevilla's Fernando Llorente. Swansea begin their top-flight campaign against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, 13 August.

Danny Gabbidon says Ashley Williams would be hard for Swansea to replace.

Lee Parsons, 44, has also been charged with burglary after the attack on the 73-year-old guard at Stokes Forgings in Vine Street, Brierley Hill, on Sunday. Mr Parsons, of Highgate Road, Holly Hall, Dudley, was remanded in custody at Dudley Magistrates' Court. He is due at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 19 April. Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country Since then, rockier times. From an initial share price of $38, Facebook's stock dipped to below $29 in May. This week, there comes another huge test for the site as it releases the financial results for its first quarter of public trading. The BBC has asked four key experts for their views on where Facebook's challenges lie in the coming months. What do you think Facebook should do next? Send us your comments at the bottom of this page. Jennifer Lynch is a staff attorney at the Electronics Frontier Foundation, a privacy campaign group. Ms Lynch is concerned about Facebook's recent takeover of a facial recognition company: Facebook's acquisition of facial recognition software face.com is concerning from a privacy perspective for two reasons. First, it is unclear what Facebook intends to do with the facial recognition data face.com collected. Face.com has stated that its database includes over 30 billion face prints. If this data is combined with the facial scans from the 300 million images Facebook users upload every day, it would likely create the largest (and largest privately-owned) facial recognition database in the world. The United States government regularly asks for copies of all photographs in which a user is tagged when it issues a warrant to Facebook. And government agencies in the States and abroad that are building out facial recognition databases have an interest in acquiring as many face images as possible. Face.com and Facebook's combined data could become a honeypot for government if Facebook doesn't take steps to protect it properly. Second, as Facebook expands the tools face.com developed to use mobile devices to collect images and identify people, the security of the data becomes a real issue. Facebook must show it has adequate measures in place to protect both the integrity of the face recognition data and its users' accounts from hacking and fraud. Ahead of going public, Facebook, itself, predicted it might struggle to make money from its mobile users who have been reluctant to engage with ads while on the go. If this is to ever change, argues independent app developer Malcolm Barclay, Facebook's mobile offering needs to improve greatly. The existing app suffers from endless loading, refresh problems and feels more like using a website from the late 90's. To put it another way, it is like listening to a transistor radio. Rewriting it in a different programming language, Objective-C, will be more akin to surround sound, an experience people expect from their £400+ devices. A rewrite in Objective-C is exactly what the Facebook app needs. Facebook's existing app is written mostly in HTML5. It is a very promising and useful technology, but right now more suited to desktop web browsers. Objective-C is the native programming language of the iPhone. It can exploit all of its features, it is fast and has a tool kit of interface elements that users are familiar with. So why did Facebook make the app in HTML5 in the first place? It was cheaper, HTML5 can run on many different devices (eg Android), hence it costs less to maintain and there's no need to make separate apps. I doubt Facebook really benefited from this - users certainly did not. Last week Facebook purchased the developers at Acrylic, a tiny operation. Google did the same and acquired Sparrow, a very popular mail app for Mac & the iPhone - all of these apps are written in Objective-C. Reports suggest that Facebook has already begun working on rebuilding their app from the bottom up. I hope this is the case - experience matters. Graham Cluley is a security researcher and blogger with Sophos. He argues that Facebook needs to get a firmer grip on the third-party applications on its platform, perhaps taking a few cues from a familiar computing giant: Want to see who has viewed your profile? There's a Facebook app for that. But you shouldn't be too quick to grant it permission to access your account. Rogue Facebook apps, created by internet scammers and cybercriminals, want to access your personal data, and hope to make money by luring you into following links. These apps run on the Facebook platform itself (don't confuse them with the apps you run on your computer or smartphone), and - if you allow them - have access to your profile, your personal info, your photos.. The result is that you don't know who you are sharing your information with, and who is going to access it. The apps can even present themselves as though they are entirely located on Facebook - even when hosted on third-party websites that could be under the control of any Tom, Dick and Harry. Most chilling of all, rogue Facebook apps can actually post messages in your name - tricking your online friends into thinking that it's you spreading a link, which could be designed to infect their computers or steal further information. Maybe Facebook should learn a lesson from Apple? Apple reviews all iPhone/iPad apps before they are allowed in the iOS App Store. That doesn't just stop yet another fart app, it also makes it harder for hackers to spread dangerous code via this route. Whatever Apple is doing, it seems to be doing it right. Not everyone may like Apple's "walled garden" approach, but you cannot deny that it has kept the Apple iPhone a relatively safe place to be. Maybe Facebook should consider something similar. And maybe users need to think carefully about what data they upload to Facebook - that's the one sure way of ensuring it is never grabbed by a rogue app. Many have speculated that Facebook is looking at creating its own device - the so-called "Buffy" phone. Carolina Milanesi, an analyst for Gartner, questions the logic behind any such predictions: "Speculations about a possible Facebook phone have been on and off for the past couple of years. After the first round of rumours we saw mobile phone maker HTC bring to market the HTC Salsa and the HTC ChaCha. Both had dedicated Facebook keys and both saw only modest sales. So why would Facebook come out with its own phone? I struggle to see why it would. Although social is a key part of today's mobile life for many consumers, only a sub-set of users would actually want a phone that totally centres on social networking. Users would also not compromise on the specifications of the hardware, meaning that Facebook would have to bring to market a device comparable to a high-end Android phone in order to be taken seriously. Manufacturing costs would likely be too high to be covered by advertising revenue. The reality is that most consumers are perfectly happy with an app on their current phone. We believe that a deeper integration of Facebook on the current operating systems iOS, Android and Windows Phone will deliver a much wider addressable market to Facebook than not a dedicated phone. And what is social about if not the mass market? If we put rumours aside for a second and we look at the facts, we know that Facebook is to be integrated more tightly with Apple's next mobile operating system, iOS 6. One has to wonder if Apple would have made such a decision if the possibility of a Facebook phone was actually on the horizon."

The Lionesses went into the game knowing a victory would give them a great chance of lifting the trophy following Saturday's defeat of hosts and world champions USA. But Mark Sampson's team could find no way through after Mittag had scored her 50th international goal.

The attack happened at Ardmonagh Parade and was reported to police shortly after 19:00 GMT on Friday. The teenager has been taken to hospital for treatment, but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan said those who carried out the attack had "nothing to offer this community other than hurt and intimidation". "Those responsible need to end these futile and reckless actions immediately," he added. Police have appealed for anyone with information on the attack to contact them on the non-emergency number 101. Ben Smith, 34, had completed 284 consecutive marathons in 284 days when he developed an umbilical hernia, in Aberdeen, on 10 June. He set off from Inverness at 10:00 BST after medical care and following advice to "take time out and recuperate". Mr Smith said he would use "everything in his power to be back on the road". Since 1 September 2015, he had run 284 consecutive marathons in 284 days, covering 7,440.8 miles across 222 different locations across England, Wales and Scotland. He said he would now need to cover an extra 2.5 miles a day for the next 106 days to make up for the time lost through injury - missing 10 days of running equates to 262 miles. He said: "I was very upset the challenge had to be suspended especially when you think of all the hard work myself and the 401 team have put in over the last three years. "Today I am feeling positive in both my mental and physical state and will no doubt use everything in my power to be back on the road." He praised the "amazing" 401 team and said they would "deliver all the objectives we set out to do". Mr Smith hopes to raise £250,000 for the anti-bullying charities, Stonewall and Kidscape. The aim is to finish the run as planned on 5 October in Bristol. Susan Bro said she refuses to speak to Mr Trump after hearing him equate counter-demonstrators, like her daughter, with white supremacists. Her daughter, Heather Heyer, was killed on Saturday after a car ploughed through a crowd in Charlottesville. She said she did not "want to be used for political agendas". Mrs Bro told ABC New's Good Morning America television programme she missed a call from the White House, which appeared to have been made during her daughter's public memorial on Wednesday. She added that she received three more "frantic messages" from Mr Trump's press team later in the day but was too exhausted from the funeral to talk. It was when she saw a news clip of Mr Trump again blaming both sides for the violence that she changed her mind about speaking to the president. End of Twitter post by @GMA "It's not that I saw somebody else's tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters... with the [Ku Klux Klan] and the white supremacists," she said on Friday. "You can't wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying, 'I'm sorry.' I'm not forgiving that." A day earlier Mrs Bro told MSNBC she had received death threats after speaking out about her daughter's death and the president's comments. Also on Friday, the mayor of Charlottesville, Mike Signer, called for Confederate statues to be removed from the city in order "to repudiate the pure evil that visited us here". He called upon the state General Assembly to pass laws restricting openly carrying firearms during events, and upon the city to create a memorial to Ms Heyer. Mr Trump drew outrage this week after reversing his condemnation of Saturday's far-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which was supported by white supremacists and neo-Nazis protesting against the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee, a general who had fought for the pro-slavery Confederacy during the US Civil War. Violent clashes between the rally's supporters and counter-protesters escalated when a car rammed into a crowd of anti-racist demonstrators, killing Ms Heyer and injuring nearly 20 others. Mr Trump bowed to pressure on Monday to denounce far-right elements at the rally, but appeared to defend its organisers on Tuesday. He condemned the suspect in the car-ramming incident, but said those who marched in defence of the statue had included "many fine people". Mrs Bro said her daughter, a paralegal and Charlottesville resident, did not belong to any organised faction of demonstrators, but was "part of a group of human beings who cared to protest". The president appeared to further his support for the organisers on Thursday when he weighed into a national debate about the removal of controversial statues, including some to leaders of the pro-slavery rebellion defeated in the US Civil War. Critics say monuments to the Confederacy are racially offensive, but supporters say they are important symbols preserving Southern heritage. In a series of tweets, Mr Trump said the "history and culture of our great country" was being "ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments". Cities across the country have accelerated planned removals of controversial statues in the wake of the violent protests in Charlottesville. A statue of Roger B Taney, the US Supreme Court justice who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery and denied citizenship to African Americans, was quietly removed from the grounds of the Maryland State House early on Friday. In the last three months of the year, they grew 0.3%, compared with the previous three months, according to the statistics agency Eurostat. The 28 countries of the EU also grew 0.3% in the fourth quarter, to a GDP growth rate of 1.8% for the full year. Growth slowed during 2015, suggesting that more action may be needed to stimulate economies from the European Central Bank (ECB). "We continue to think that further monetary easing is required, with further policy rate cuts on the cards from March onwards," said Nick Kounis, economist at ABN Amro. Eurostat also announced on Friday that industrial production had fallen 1% in December compared with the previous month, both for the eurozone and the EU. Year on year, it fell 1.3% in the eurozone and 0.8% in the EU. The biggest contraction in GDP came in Greece, where the economy shrank 0.6% in the fourth quarter, which was better than had been expected. But the contraction in the third quarter turned out to have been bigger than previously thought, being revised from 0.9% to 1.4%. Analysis: Andrew Walker, economics correspondent Several eurozone governments following austerity policies have faced protests on the streets and at the ballot box. But could it have been a little easier? That is where Germany comes in. There certainly is a view that Germany has in effect made it harder than it need have been. How so? Germany surely is the seat of eurozone financial prudence and virtue? Well, there is a case that those features of Germany are a problem for the others. Read more from Andrew here The German economy expanded by 0.3% in the final three months of 2015, to an annual rate of 1.7%. The German statistics agency said that government spending was "markedly up", while household consumption rose slightly. The figures follow surprisingly poor industrial production data for December. "Slow but steady was the retrospective motto for 2015," said Thomas Gitzel, VP Bank group chief economist, saying the fourth quarter growth was "not exhilarating" but also not a reason to worry. 7 December 2015 Last updated at 13:19 GMT Dr Dyfed Elis Gruffydd has disputed research, led by University College London (UCL), which found the bluestones came from outcrops at Carn Goedog and Craig Rhos-y-felin. Following excavations, the team of archaeologists and geologists said the stones may have been first used in a local monument near the quarries and then dismantled and taken to Wiltshire. But Dr Gruffydd said no evidence of human quarrying had been found at the sites. Concentrix apologised for failures that have left some people with no benefits for up to two months. The US firm has been accused of incorrectly withdrawing tax credits from many hundreds of claimants. It was told in September that its HMRC contract would not be renewed. Officials from HM Revenue and Customs told a committee of MPs that a breakdown in customer services at Concentrix, had resulted in only 10% of calls being answered on some days. Thousands of people have had their tax credits stopped after Concentrix said they were making fraudulent claims - one woman was told she was in a relationship with a chain of newsagents, another with the philanthropist Joseph Rowntree, who died in 1925. Claimants, in what was sometimes an emotional testimony, told the committee they had been forced to borrow money and go to food banks as a result of the problems. The Work and Pensions Select Committee was told that of the 45,000 payments stopped, nearly 15,000 had appealed so far and that "90% - 95%" had been successful in overturning the decision. HMRC officials said they first became concerned of problems at Concentrix in August when they started receiving reports that only 10% of calls were being answered within five minutes - the target was 90%. Jon Thompson, chief executive of HMRC, said "a collapse in basic customer service" had occurred caused by too few staff being on hand, and that he'd personally taken the decision not to renew Concentrix's contract. The firm was working with HMRC to reduce fraud and error in the tax credit system. Media playback is not supported on this device "Everybody look in to Rachel. Rachel, look to the girls on the left. Give them a nod. Now look to the right. Confident! Are we happy to be doing it? Yes? "Do it again." Except this is Christopher Dean, with Jayne Torvill standing next to him. The finest British figure skaters of all time are here to fire up one of Britain's lowliest teams in Olympic sport. Dean continues. "Stop just a second. What's that meant to be? A wave? But there's also a look, right? Some of the things he said were really obvious. Like, 'just put your head up more'. Why didn't I do that before? "Sorry - can I use the word - can it be more seductive?" Dean has never seen rhythmic gymnastics in the flesh before. This hardly sets him apart. The sport, which involves teams competing with balls, hoops and ribbons, is little-known in Britain, which has never sent competitors to an Olympic Games. Now, for London 2012, there is a narrow shaft of light. If the group of teenage girls in front of Dean can hit a certain score at their Olympic test event, in January, they will earn the right to compete at the Games as the host nation. Like its sister sport of artistic gymnastics - the one practised by Beth Tweddle, Louis Smith et al - success in rhythmic gymnastics relies not only on executing your performance well, but doing so in a way that connects with the judges. Torvill and Dean score Olympic gold Torvill and Dean know a thing or two about that. Performing their Bolero routine at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, the duo earned perfect 6.0 scores for artistic impression from every judge and duly won gold. "In the early days, we were criticised by the judges for not smiling, not performing," says Torvill, now 54. "You have to find a way to bring that out of yourself." Dean, 53, adds: "This is the same as our sport, skating. It's subjective and what one person sees or likes, the other might not. What you have to do is win over the majority, and the judges." Seventeen-year-old team member Jade Faulkner is soon sold on this, and on Dean in particular, whose charismatic pronouncements from the sidelines strike a chord. "He has a lot of personality and he's fun to work with," says Faulkner. "Some of the things he said were really obvious. Like, 'just put your head up more'. Why didn't I do that before? They were saying about keeping your eyes up and I really didn't notice they were so down, until today. "Some things weren't really what the sport is used to, not what we do. But they're not outside the rules, so we'll take them on board. It's what we need to do to stand out." Faulkner is one of seven teenagers in the British rhythmic gymnastics team, based at the University of Bath. Their sport demands the skills of a Harlem Globetrotter and the flamboyant athleticism of a ballerina. It is often derided by casual spectators as a sport unworthy of the name, let alone an Olympic berth. "When people say things like that we ignore them," says team captain Rachel Smith as she fixes her hair in the mirror before training begins. "We train very hard, every day, and we want people to see this is actually a sport and it needs the funding." GB Rhythmic Gymnastics team website Olympic test event - official website At the moment, there is barely any for these gymnasts. Four of them rent a house together in Bath using cash from their parents, who underwrite many other costs. "It's always hard if you don't have the funding. But I can see this group are very driven and, obviously, they're not doing it for the money. That's great to see, these days," says Torvill. Dean adds a note of realism. "By the time that we were heading to the 1984 Olympics, we wore the crown already and we had to act that. You had to be consistent, look strong, and deliver, taking on the persona that you are a champion already. "It's hard before you become that. There's that leap to get to that point. The girls are a fledgling group and their goal is to get into the Olympics. "They've not qualified yet. It's a big time ahead of them in their test event to actually get in and be a part of Team GB. So, fingers crossed." Smith, at 18, already sees London 2012 as "the climax of my whole career". Britain did not come close to reaching this year's World Championships. Without a host nation place to aim for, their chances of qualifying for subsequent Games currently appear slim. "This has been my dream since I was little," she says. "To go out there and prove that Britain, as a rhythmic gymnastics team, deserves to be up with everyone else. "If we can qualify without the funding - struggle through it but still do it - and prove to our parents that we can do this, that the money has paid off… we'll make everyone proud." The title contenders, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, were third and fifth, not setting times on the quickest tyre. Force India's Sergio Perez had a sizeable accident after misjudging the tight section in the old town of Baku. The Mexican bounced over the entry kerb and smashed into the wall on exit. The impact, at Turns Eight and Nine, where the track heads uphill towards the medieval castle, tore off both right-hand wheels, the rear one becoming completely detached from the car, and sprayed the track with carbon-fibre debris. The session was stopped for 10 minutes while the mess was cleared and the car removed from the track. When it resumed, there was only six minutes remaining, and with a lap that is nearly two minutes long, there was only time for a maximum of two further laps, and there were no further improvements. Vettel's lap time on softs effectively made him the de facto quickest in the session but the Red Bulls were surprisingly quick on a power track where they are not expecting to do well. Verstappen was 0.47 seconds quicker than team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, with Vettel less than 0.1secs behind the Australian. Hamilton also set his best time on the soft tyre and was just over half a second slower than Vettel. Team-mate Valtteri Bottas did manage a quick lap on the super-softs but was 0.240secs slower than Hamilton's best time on softs. The initial auguries are not that encouraging for Mercedes, who struggled in Russia in April on a track with many similarities to the Baku street circuit, but the session was not conclusive enough to be certain of what the times meant. Perez ended the session fourth quickest, with team-mate Esteban Ocon seventh, and Williams' Felipe Massa in eighth ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat. A number of drivers struggled with locking wheels into the tight right-angled corners that abound in Baku, including Renault's under-pressure Jolyon Palmer. The Englishman twice ran wide at Turn One at the end of Baku's super-long straight and ended up only 18th fastest, 1.3secs slower than team-mate Nico Hulkenberg. Current laws only allow public hire taxis, commonly known as black taxis, to be hailed on streets in the city. All other taxis must be booked. But from 31 May, that will change between midnight on Friday and Saturday nights until 06:00 the next morning. All taxis will be able to stop for passengers who have waved them down. The rule will apply within a two-mile radius of the city centre. Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said he was "modernising and improving" taxi regulations by making the change. "In effect, these changes will mean that people in the north will get a much better taxi service." A spokesman for the Department of the Environment (DoE) said that the change was being made "because often demand outstrips supply". But public hire taxi drivers are unhappy with the change. Sean Beckett, of the Public Hire Coalition, said: "If this is just to clear the streets [of people], it's wrong. "You must know that the clientele and the general public are getting into a legitimate taxi and not some renegade that doesn't have insurance, so on and so forth." Alliance Party MLA Anna Lo said the move was long overdue, but added that the two-mile Belfast zone "could be confusing" for the public, and tourists in particular. "In any big cities where taxis are an essential means of transport, people take it for granted they can hail them anywhere without having to book in advance or walk to a taxi rank," Ms Lo said. "I hope this move will see such practice become the norm in Belfast." The DoE is also introducing new roof signage that some taxis will be required to display, as well as a new test for taxi drivers. Graham, 20, needs surgery after tearing the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his left knee when he fell awkwardly in Saturday's 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff City. "Jordan is expected to be out for between nine and 12 months," said Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett. "But he's young enough and good enough to come back stronger next season." Phil Hayward, the head of Wolves' medical department, added: "He is to see a consultant towards the end of this week. It is probably too early to be talking about exact timescales. "It was one of those almost freakish situations where he was caught slightly off balance and his knee went into a hyper-extended position and that is what did the damage." Graham, signed from Aston Villa in January 2015, has made 12 consecutive appearances for Wolves following his return from a successful loan at League Two side Oxford United. His current 18-month contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Saturday's defeat ended a run of four successive league victories for Jackett's side, halting their climb back up the Championship table. It was also the first game watched by owner Steve Morgan since he resigned as chairman and put the club up for sale on 28 September. Morgan remains insistent that no progress has made on any potential sale. "There's no real update on what's been said in the past," he told BBC Midlands Today. "We're not in firm talks with anybody." The buyer is Wirefox, a Holywood, County Down, based property company headed by BJ Eastwood, grandson of the famous Belfast bookmaker. The centre had been owned by Hermes Investment Management based in London. CastleCourt opened in 1990 and at one point, before the property crash in 2007, was valued at £350m. In a statement, Wirefox said it planned "significant capital expenditure in the complex", details of which would be announced later in the year. Estate agents Savills, which was involved in the sale, said: "Despite the shock of Brexit and ongoing political uncertainty, the retail sector in Northern Ireland continues to perform strongly. "We expect Wirefox to reap the benefits of this high-profile acquisition." According to accounts, CastleCourt generates about £10m annually in rent from its scores of retail tenants, who include anchor store Debenhams. Hermes has owned the centre since 2012. South Yorkshire Police believe the 22-year-old fell critically ill in the Glossop Road area after taking MDMA. She was taken to hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Another woman, 20, is also in a serious condition after taking the drug on a separate night out. A 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, who were arrested, have been released while enquiries are ongoing. Formal identification and a post mortem examination were yet to take place, police said. It is not yet known whether the victims were known to each other. But police believe the two incidents are not connected. Det Sgt Andy Shields said: "This is an upsetting development in the investigation and our thoughts are with the woman's family at this very sad time." The force has appealed for any witnesses. The precautionary measure was put in place following concern over the taste and smell of their mains supply. The alert affects about 2,000 homes and businesses in parts of Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park. Scottish Water said it was investigating the issue. It has advised people not to use boiled tap water, and to only mains water to flush toilets. Bottled water was distributed to the affected properties overnight. A Scottish Water spokeswoman said: "After receiving contacts from customers about the taste and smell of tap water, we investigated thoroughly and examined our network. "We have advised customers in Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park not to use their water for any purpose - other than flushing toilets - as a precautionary measure. "We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and we have been distributing bottled water to affected properties during the night." She said teams had been out in the affected areas all night helping customers, with extra support also being given to elderly or disabled people, care homes and hospitals. Scottish Water said further updates would be issued when more information becomes available, and affected residents will be told when their water is back to normal. Customers seeking more information can check Scottish Water's website or call its customer support number on 0800 0778 778.

"Dwi'n eitha siŵr byddwn ni'n ei weld o yng nghefn y theatr pan fyddwn ni'n gwneud y cyngherddau yma." Mae'r cyngerdd cyntaf yn y Drenewydd nos Sadwrn, 8 Ebrill, a'r olaf yn y Bala ar 20 Mai, 2017. Bydd Meilir yn canu yn y côr gyda'i fam a'i chwaer, Branwen, tra bydd y brawd ieuengaf, Osian, yn chwarae'r drymiau yn y band. Mae o hefyd wedi trefnu'r gerddorfa ar y CD o'r sioe. Wedi eu magu yn sŵn ymarferion y cwmni, lle cyfarfu eu rhieni, does dim syndod bod Branwen, Meilir ac Osian Williams i gyd wedi gwneud eu marc ym maes cerddoriaeth a pherfformio. Mae Branwen yn gweithio i'r Urdd ac yn aelod o fandiau Siddi a Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog; Meilir yn ganwr ac actor sy'n chwarae rhan Rhys y mecanic yn Rownd a Rownd ac Osian yn gerddor proffesiynol a phrif leisydd Candelas ac mewn bandiau eraill, gan gynnwys Siddi gyda Branwen. Athro mathemateg oedd Derec Williams wrth ei alwedigaeth. Heb unrhyw brofiad blaenorol - heblaw am ei gariad at roc a rôl a Jimmy Hendrix - fe aeth y dyn ifanc o Amlwch ati gyda Penri a Linda i greu cwmni theatr a chyfansoddi sioeau cerdd llwyddiannus a phoblogaidd sy'n dal i gael eu perfformio heddiw. Yn ogystal â chaneuon cofiadwy fe wnaethon nhw greu cymuned newydd sbon a chyfleoedd perfformio i bobl Maldwyn, Meirionnydd a Cheredigion. "Doedd gan Linda, Penri na dad unrhyw brofiad o lwyfannu sioeu na sgwennu sioeau," meddai Meilir. "Mi wnaeth y tri jyst ddod at ei gilydd ac yn hytrach na disgwyl i rywun ddeud wrthyn nhw be i'w wneud, penderfynu ei drïo fo eu hunain a gweld be allen nhw ei wneud. "Roedd dad wastad yn deud bod o ddim yn siŵr os mai gwirion 'ta dewr oedden nhw! Ond yn amlwg mi wnaeth o ddwyn ffrwyth." Yn eironig, doedd ganddo ddim dawn canu meddai Meilir: "Mae mam yn fwy cerddorol o ran ei gallu na dad achos roedd dad yn tone deaf - doedd o ddim y gorau am ganu! "Ond roedd o'n medru cyfansoddi, dyna sy'n rhyfedd. Roedd o'n fwy dylanwadol ar yr ochr roc, fo wnaeth ddysgu Osian i chwarae'r dryms a'r gitâr, mam oedd yn rhoi gwersi piano a chanu." "Ond roedd gan dad ryw agwedd get up and go - os oedd o isio trïo rwbeth fase fo wastad yn mynd ati a gwneud - doedd ganddo ddim ofn trïo o gwbl." "Be wnaeth dad ddysgu i ni oedd duwcs, ti'n trio," meddai. "Hwyrach y gwnei di fethu ond os na ti'n trio, fyddi di ddim yn gwybod os elli di lwyddo. "Felly pam lai mynd amdani yn hytrach na disgwyl i rywun arall wneud rhywbeth. Mynd ati a'i wneud o dy hun ac os dio'n dwyn ffrwyth, yna grêt, os dio ddim, tria rywbeth arall." A diolch i'r agwedd yma mae'r plant bach oedd yn arfer chwarae yn theatrau Cymru tra roedd eu rhieni yn ymarfer a pherfformio yn camu i esgidiau eu tad drwy fynd ati i sefydlu eu cwmni theatr eu hunain i lwyfannu sioe gerdd newydd sbon. Maen nhw wrthi'n datblygu'r gwaith a enillodd Dlws y Cerddor i Osian yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol 2015. Mae gan Osian radd Meistr mewn cyfansoddi a chafodd ei waith, Gwion Bach, ei ddisgrifio gan y beirniaid fel un "hynod gyffrous". "Sioe gerdd fydd Gwion Bach," meddai Meilir am y gwaith sydd wedi ei seilio ar stori Taliesin o'r Mabinogi. "Ryden ni'n gobeithio gwneud hon ar raddfa broffesiynol, felly fydd o'n wahanol i raddau. "Gan bod Osian 'di sgrifennu caneuon ffantastig ar gyfer y sioe yn barod, roedden ni'n meddwl pam lai ceisio sgwennu sioe gerdd fyse'n gallu sefyll ar lwyfan byd eang." Y gobaith yw ei pherfformio yn ystod wythnos yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yn y dyfodol. Nid dyma'r tro cyntaf i'r tri gydweithio i sgrifennu sioe. Fe dorron nhw eu dannedd ar y grefft wrth ysgrifennu a chynhyrchu'r sioe ieuenctid yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd yn y Bala yn 2014. Ond ar ganol y rhediad o berfformiadau yn y Bala y daeth y newyddion trist am farwolaeth eu tad. "Roedd amseriad y peth yn hollol rhyfedd - ein bod ni'n tri wedi dod at ein gilydd am y tro cyntaf ac wedi cymryd yr awenau oddi wrth dad mewn ffordd, a bod yr Eisteddfod yn ein cynefin ni ac wrth gwrs. "Mi fu farw ar y dydd Mawrth, ynghanol y 'Steddfod." Roedd wedi bod yn yr ymarferion meddai Meilir ac wrth ei fodd yn gwylio pobl ifanc yn dod at ei gilydd "a gweld cenhedlaeth newydd yn mynd ati". Mae'r teulu yn gweld cyngherddau Cadw'r Fflam fel rhywbeth 'therapiwtig' iddyn nhw: "Pan ti'n gweld 150 o bobl yn canu gwaith mae dad, Penri a Linda wedi ei wneud, mae'n cliche ein bod ni'n 'cadw'r fflam yn fyw' mewn ffordd, ond mae wedi bod yn donic inni ddod nôl at ein gilydd a chanu'r hen ganeuon," meddai Meilir. "Mae pawb wedi bod yn hel atgofion a rhannu straeon, mae wedi bod yn neis cael bod nôl efo'r cwmni." Bydd Radio Cymru yn darlledu'r cyngerdd o Pontio ym Mangor, sy'n digwydd ar 30 Ebrill, yn nes ymlaen yn y flwyddyn. Yn y cyfamser bydd Osian a Branwen, fel aelodau'r band Siddi, yn cael cyfle i roi teyrnged i'w tad yn y rhaglen Emyn Roc a Rôl ar Radio Cymru nos Wener wrth iddyn nhw addasu emyn gafodd ei chanu yn ei angladd, Rho im yr hedd. Reports say one of those arrested is the groom. The footage showed guests singing and dancing with weapons. One stabbed a picture of a Palestinian baby who died in the attack in July. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the "shocking" scenes, aired on Israeli television. Wedding-goers could also be heard singing about taking revenge on Palestinians in the video. Police opened an investigation into the events on suspicion of incitement to violence. Israeli media identified one of the suspects as a resident of the Jewish settlement of Kfar Tapuach in the occupied West Bank. The four were arrested on Tuesday, a week after the footage was broadcast. It was filmed at a Jewish wedding in Jerusalem earlier this month. In the clip, young Orthodox Jewish men are seen dancing with knives, guns and fire bombs while singing about revenge. One of the revellers stabs a picture of 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha, who was killed in an arson attack on his home in the Palestinian village of Duma. His parents, Saad and Riham, were also killed, while his five-year-old brother, Ali, was injured in the attack. Several youths, whom the authorities suspect of belonging to a "Jewish terror organisation", have been arrested in connection with the attack. The hip-hop star is up for album of the year for To Pimp A Butterfly, a dense, detailed trawl of black music, US politics and his personal demons. His competition comes from Taylor Swift, whose pop smash 1989 is finally nominated, a year after its release. It came out too late to be eligible for last year's awards, a fate which has befallen Adele's 25 this time around. Swift ties with R&B star The Weeknd for second place, with seven nominations apiece, while Ed Sheeran and James Bay represent the UK. Sheeran is up for two of the major prizes - song of the year and record of the year - for his emotive ballad Thinking Out Loud. The former award goes to the writers (in this case Sheeran and Amy Wadge), while the record of the year category takes into account the performance and production of a hit song. Other nominees for song of the year include The Weeknd's breakthrough hit Can't Feel My Face and Mark Ronson's global smash Uptown Funk. Swift is nominated for the tongue-in-cheek single Blank Space, as is Lamar for Alright, the hope-filled centrepiece of his album. The shortlist for the four main categories is as follows: Best album Song of the Year Record of the Year Best new artist See the full list on Grammy.com Lamar's domination of the shortlist is "a testimony to his artistry," said Neil Portnow, head of the Recording Academy. "He's someone that's very serious about his art and about his craft, and has been working it for quite some time. And this is one of those instances where the work pays off." The hip-hop artist's other nominations include best rap album and best pop duo/group performance for Bad Blood - a remix of one of the tracks on Swift's 1989. He is also shortlisted twice for best rap song, including Kanye West's All Day, which he co-wrote - along with 18 other credited performers, which could make an interesting moment on stage if West wins. Among the most prestigious awards in music, the Grammys feature an exhaustive 83 categories in 30 genres, including the likes of best tropical Latin album and best jazz improvisation. Outside the main categories, the late Amy Winehouse is up for her seventh Grammy thanks to Asif Kapadia's revealing documentary on her life; while a deluxe reissue of The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers is up for best box set. Justin Bieber, who had been considered a contender for some of the main prizes, only gets one nomination, for best dance recording; while Rihanna also misses out, despite her Paul McCartney duet FourFiveSeconds being tipped as a nomine for song of the year. British acts Disclosure, Jamie xx and The Chemical Brothers are all in contention for best dance album; and Florence + The Machine have four nominations in categories as varied as best pop album and best packaging. The awards will be handed out on 15 February, 2016, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Hamilton had been one of four goalkeepers named in Gordon Strachan's initial 29-man squad, but that was cut to 24 last week. The 23-year-old is now back in because McGregor, 35, has a thumb injury. Celtic's Craig Gordon is expected to retain his place against England for the 10 June World Cup qualifier. McGregor's Hull team-mate, David Marshall, is likely to be back-up to the 34-year-old. James Ainslie, 46, was said to have turned to drugs after being falsely accused of a sex offence. Ainslie, who was trying to pay off money he owed, broke into his victim's home and stole her purse, television, phones and other items - including her car keys. After threatening her with the hammer, he then drove off in the woman's car. Judge Lord Uist told Ainslie at the High Court in Edinburgh: "The crime against an elderly and vulnerable lady was premeditated and despicable." The judge explained: "The crime you have committed must attract a heavy sentence to punish you and protect the elderly and vulnerable." Ainslie further admitted being concerned in the supply of diazepam at his home in Saltoun Place, Fraserburgh. He was sentenced to four-and-a-half years for the robbery and theft of the car, which happened in July last year, and 18 months for the drug charge. Afterwards, Det Con Craig Johnstone, who led the inquiry, said: "This was a distressing crime for the victim and today's outcome at the high court should serve as a reminder to those intent on trying to harm our communities that such behaviour will not be tolerated. "We would like to thank those within the community who came forward to assist the police during the investigation." The Musicians' Union has threatened to protest outside the show, which begins its UK tour in Blackpool on Thursday. It says the production features five musicians, whereas previous productions have employed eight. The show's producers have refuted the claims, saying the union was making a "crude attempt" to "prejudice the audience against our production". Paul Elliott said Dirty Dancing had never been billed as a musical, as "none of the leading characters sing", and the music was primarily used as an underscore. In a statement, he called the production a "play with music", and said it had always featured at least 40% pre-recorded music. "We do not refer... to the production as a 'musical' and always request that it is not advertised as such," he added. The Musicians' Union said the dispute arose when Elliott and his co-producer Karl Sydow approached them about getting rid of the show's band completely. The union objected, which it claimed had resulted in the show adding five actor-musicians to the production. "There seems to be not a great deal of clarity about how much [the actor-musicians] do on stage compared with the recording," said Horace Trubridge, assistant general secretary at the union. "We suspect the majority of what the audience hears is the recording made in Italy." Elliott responded that, while the show had been redesigned for smaller venues, "the performing company is the same size as before, so audiences will be given the same artistic value". The producer, whose West End credits include Buddy - the Buddy Holly Story and Stones In His Pockets, added he could not see a problem with using a "fully-licensed backing track from Italy in the UK". He added: "Many other shows have used tracks on tour - many without employing any live musicians - without their producers suffering any of the current actions of the Musicians Union towards Dirty Dancing". The dispute comes two years after The National Theatre was sued by five musicians who were dropped from the West End production of War Horse. Although the Musicians' Union held protests outside those shows, and the BBC's War Horse Prom, the players eventually failed to persuade a court they should be reinstated. Dirty Dancing, about a 17-year-old girl who falls for a dance instructor during a family holiday, is one of the biggest independent films of all time. The stage production debuted in London 10 years ago and was, at the time, the fastest-selling show in West End history, with more than £11m in advance sales. A touring version has been in production since 2011.

Author Michael Rosen tells you everything you need to know in under three minutes. Reports said the man was trying to rescue the woman, who had jumped on to the track near Chartham station. British Transport Police (BTP) said emergency services were called just before 10.55 BST. The man, in his 70s, died from his injuries. The woman, in her 30s, was treated before being taken to hospital. She remains in a serious but stable condition. The incident is not being treated as suspicious. Police said both families had been informed and a report was being prepared for the coroner. The train involved was the 10:22 BST Ramsgate to Charing Cross service, which was not due to stop at Chartham. A spokesman said the sponsor, which has not been named, received the threat on 5 January. The League One club pulled out of an attempt to sign the former Wales international a few days later. Greater Manchester Police said a formal complaint had been made, which officers were investigating. Evans, 26, was released from prison in October after serving half of a five-year sentence for a rape conviction. Oldham Athletic owner Simon Corney said there was an "80% chance" of signing Evans on 7 January, before pulling out of the deal the following day after death threats were made to club employees and sponsors threatened to withdraw their support. Evans continues to protest his innocence, and an investigation into his conviction by the Criminal Cases Review Commission is under way. In February's first round, reformists made substantial gains but need to win 40 more seats to control the 290-member parliament. Friday's elections take place in 68 constituencies where no candidate won the minimum 25% of the vote. Polls are open until 13:30 GMT and results are expected on Sunday. February's vote was the first since Iran signed a nuclear deal with world powers and was seen as a key test for reformist President Hassan Rouhani. Moderate allies of Mr Rouhani won 106 seats with a landslide victory in the capital, Tehran. The results in Tehran were significant because lawmakers from the capital usually determine the political direction of the house, analysts say. Reformists also made gains in elections for the Assembly of Experts, which appoints the country's most powerful official, the Supreme Leader. Moderates, however, did less well in constituencies outside the capital, which is where Friday's voting is taking place. Correspondents say that although the parliamentary elections are not expected to herald large-scale changes in Iranian policies, they could help President Rouhani push through economic and social reforms. The logo on the side of the locomotive of the 0905 Budapest to Munich Intercity train could not have been more ironic: "Pan-European Picnic - 25 years of Open Borders." The Pan-European Picnic was the remarkable event on the Hungarian-Austrian border in August 1989, when the border guards of Communist Hungary defied orders and stood aside and allowed hundreds of East German refugees to run across the border into Austria. The green carriages of the train to Munich on Thursday morning soon filled with Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis and a host of other nationalities. They were trapped in Hungary by the decision of the Hungarian government to block their route to Germany. But the train did not go to Munich. The gates of the station had opened at 08:20, closely followed by a stampede of refugees. At 08:52 the government spokesman, Zoltan Kovacs, informed me that the refugees would be taken to refugee camps instead. At 11:00 the train left, and at 12:00 it arrived in Bicske, the site of a refugee camp, 37km (23 miles) west of Budapest. The refugees refused to leave, and a 28-hour standoff with police developed. I spoke to local people, who wandered down to the tracks to see world news unfolding on their doorstep. Many Hungarians, especially those fed a diet of anti-migrant vitriol on state radio and television, are suspicious of the thousands of people from other cultures now traipsing through their country. So I was surprised when one woman said quietly to me: "You should remember that many of us, Hungarians, were refugees too". She belonged to the Hungarian minority in Romania, and fled to the country in the 1980s, to escape the terrifying regime of Nicolae Ceausescu, she said. Hungarian government officials insist that there is no parallel between 1989 and 2015. Or between the Iron Curtain which once split Europe, and the razor wire fence they are still reinforcing along their southern border with Serbia. Or between the 1956 revolution, when a quarter of a million Hungarians escaped across the same border into Austria, to escape Soviet tanks, and current events. But the fact is that many Hungarians, Slovaks, Czechs, Poles, Serbs and Romanians, not to mention Germans and Austrians, have personal memories of having to run for their lives. Some remember those stories from their parents and grandparents. And when they see the refugees in Hungary today, they are torn between an official rhetoric which often demonises "illegal migrants", and their own experience of expulsion and charity. One big difference between 1956, 1989, and 2015 is cultural. Many of the new arrivals are Muslims. Some are Africans. These are not Europeans fleeing within Europe. Walk the streets of Budapest, Prague or Bratislava, and the faces are more homogenous. Only the Chinese and Vietnamese are here already in large numbers. This is largely the result of the mass murders and forced population movements of the Second World War and its immediate aftermath. Another problem is a genuine resentment in eastern Europe at being talked down to by west European leaders. For the Hungarians, the sheer numbers now are also an important factor. By Saturday night, 175,000 asylum seekers had been registered by the Hungarian authorities this year - 50,000 in August alone. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that millions, not hundreds of thousands of migrants will flood Europe. Nobody knows if that is true, not even Mr Orban, but only one year ago two million Hungarians trusted his word enough to vote him into office for four more years. There is also now a sort of rearguard action by the governments of Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to defend what they regard as "Christian Europe" from those it regards as "aliens". Robert Fico's Slovak government only reluctantly agreed to accept 200 asylum seekers from Syria, awaiting processing in neighbouring Austria, on condition that they are Christian. Yet another factor in the migration equation is the large ethnic Roma population in eastern Europe. Hungarian Justice Minister Laszlo Trocsanyi caused a stir recently by suggesting that Hungary could hardly help so many refugees, when it already has 800,000 Roma to integrate. Some criminal gangs from the Roma clans of eastern Hungary stand accused of muscling in on the lucrative business of trafficking migrants from the Serbian border to Austria. But most Roma are watching the current crisis from the sidelines. In Budapest, a man begging outside the East Station claimed to be Syrian. "Don't believe him", shouted a woman from the doorway of a shop - "he's a local". For local, read Roma. East station has now been re-Christened "the Middle East station", in popular parlance, because of the sheer number of Syrians and Iraqis around it. And the "pan-global picnic" continues, on every platform. Sunderland, who finished below the Tigers and Middlesbrough at the bottom of the Premier League, start at home to Derby on Friday, 4 August. Last season's beaten play-off finalists Reading are away at QPR. League One champions Sheffield United begin at home against Brentford. Millwall, who beat Bradford in the play-off final at Wembley to join the Blades in England's second tier, travel to face two-time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest in their opening fixture. League One runners-up Bolton Wanderers host Leeds United on Sunday, 6 August, while Middlesbrough, the third team to drop out of the top flight, are away against Wolves. In League One, relegated Blackburn Rovers start with a trip to face Southend United and Forest Green Rovers are at home to Barnet in their first ever game in the Football League. Following Hull boss Leonid Slutsky's first game in charge at Villa Park, his first league match at home is against Burton Albion, a club going into only their second season in the second tier. Middlesbrough manager Garry Monk, another new boss at a club relegated from the Premier League last term, has an opening-day game against a Wolves side which will be managed for the first time by Nuno Espirito Santo, following the departure of Paul Lambert. Monk will return to his former side Leeds on 18 November, a club that appointed ex-Apoel Nicosia manager Thomas Christiansen as his replacement. Christiansen's first match at Elland Road will be against Preston North End - the side that finished just below them in the table as they both missed out on the play-offs last term. Norwich will be another side looking towards the top six in 2017-18, and former Borussia Dortmund II coach Daniel Farke begins his tenure with a trip to Fulham. The final of the three to have been relegated last term, Sunderland, are still managerless after Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes rejected the chance to join, but will hope to have someone in place for the match against Derby County in the opening game of the season. For the first time since 2011-12, Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United find themselves in the same division, following the Blades' promotion from League One last term and the Owls' Championship play-off semi-final defeat. Wednesday host United at Hillsborough on 23 September, with the return fixture at Bramall Lane on 13 January. After both of their relegations last term, Middlesbrough and Sunderland's first Tees-Wear derby of the season is on 4 November at the Riverside, before a trip to the Stadium of Light on 24 February. Norwich and Ipswich's Old Farm Derby reignites on 21 October at Portman Road, while the first meeting of East Midlands rivals Derby County and Nottingham Forest is a week earlier, on 14 October. Villa boss Bruce faces his old side Birmingham City at St Andrew's on 28 October, with the return on 10 February. Kick-off 15:00 BST unless stated Friday, 4 August Saturday, 5 August Sunday, 6 August

On 1 October, the woman reported a sexual assault which she said happened near Ashbourne Road in Derby. Following an extensive investigation, police confirmed the attack had never taken place. Det Ch Insp Sam Slack from Derbyshire Police said all reports of rape or assault were thoroughly investigated by the force. "It is always disappointing when a large amount of police time is wasted on reports such as this," said Det Ch Insp Slack. "But this case should not deter anyone from reporting any type of offence immediately so that full inquiries can be made."

A 19-year-old woman has been cautioned for wasting police time after lying about being raped.

Kirsty Williams, Lib Dem leader in the assembly, will be spokeswoman for Wales, succeeding Roger Williams, who lost his seat at the general election. Ex-Wales Office minister Baroness Randerson will speak on transport. Mr Farron's office said Mark Williams, MP for Ceredigion, would be given "a key campaign job" in August. The new leader said his "excellent" team would lead the "Lib Dem fight back". Six of its 22 members are not MPs or peers. Mark Williams, who is now the Lib Dems' only MP in Wales, had backed Mr Farron over rival Norman Lamb in the battle to succeed Nick Clegg. They include Foreign Office files from the 1970s on "military and nuclear collaboration with Israel" and a 1947 letter from Winston Churchill. One MP from the parliamentary group on official archives told the BBC he was "concerned" by their loss. The National Archives said it was running a "robust" programme to locate the documents. A response by officials to a Freedom of Information request from the BBC showed that 402 historical files remain unaccounted for since 1 January 2012. They include more than 60 Foreign Office files, more than 40 from the Home Office and six from the official records of former prime ministers. The National Archives in Kew, London, holds more than 11 million official documents, many of which have been transferred from government departments and are often opened as public records after 30 years. Among those listed as missing is a Foreign Office file from 1979 entitled: "Military and nuclear collaboration with Israel: Israeli nuclear armament". The dossier appears likely to have been linked to a United Nations resolution from the previous year with the same headline which concerned "increasing evidence" of the country's attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. It was contained within a series of UK government files on arms control and disarmament in the 1970s. Also among the papers registered missing is a letter from Winston Churchill regarding his memoirs, dated 15 October 1947. It was included in a file of correspondence and minutes from the former prime minister's personal assistant Sir Desmond Morton. The letter appears to date from the time that Churchill wrote his acclaimed history of World War Two which helped him win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. The document was last accessed at the National Archives three years ago. Labour MP and historian Tristram Hunt, vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Archives and History, told the BBC that the list revealed a "worrying loss". He said: "The challenge is to ensure that you've got the systems to prevent that, because with every loss of a potential piece of archive you're losing some history and understanding. "You're losing a sense of connection and you're losing the fabric of the past." He stressed that the National Archives were among the best in the world and were run "incredibly effectively and efficiently". But he said he was "particularly concerned" about the loss of documents on the planning of Jerusalem from its time under British administration which he described as a "fascinating period". The missing files include a 1918 memorandum by the British architect and civil servant Sir William McLean who submitted a master plan to develop Jerusalem while preserving the Old City. The file included 23 photographs depicting the plans including a "panoramic view of Mount of Olives; outer and inner city views". The number of lost files is a tiny proportion of those held by the National Archives and many are believed simply to have been misplaced. The archives holds more than 11 million public records on behalf of the government and delivers more than 600,000 documents to readers each year. Officials stress that lost files account for less than 0.01% of their collection and that such documents are listed as missing on their catalogue. The National Archives said: "We are a working archive with a robust, ongoing programme dedicated to locating misplaced documents and many are subsequently found again after a thorough search." It is not the first time that the disappearance of public records has come to light. In 2011 it emerged that about 1,600 files had been reported lost from the National Archives in the previous six years. The current rate of loss, at about 100 files per year, is an improvement on the previous figure. His strong rhetoric against the United States and Israel and unbending stance on Iran's nuclear programme has proved popular at home but has enraged the West. In 2009, international criticism intensified when his re-election caused his country's worst political unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The results, disputed by defeated reformists and moderates who demanded a rerun, led to violent anti-government protests. They were crushed but a deep rift was left within Iran's political and clerical elite. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in matters of state, declared the vote valid so that Mr Ahmadinejad could be sworn in for a second term. The president is among a younger generation of lay politicians who are fiercely loyal to him. The son of a blacksmith, Mr Ahmadinejad was born in 1956 in Garmsar, near Tehran, and holds a PhD in traffic and transport from Tehran's University of Science and Technology, where he was a lecturer. He was not well-known when he was appointed mayor of Tehran in 2003. While running the city he reduced social freedoms and curtailed many of the reforms introduced by more moderate figures who ran the city before him. His rise to power and landslide victory in 2005 surprised the international community, which anticipated a win for the incumbent president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. There has been confusion about Mr Ahmadinejad's role in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Several of the 52 Americans who were held hostage in the US embassy in the months after the revolution say they are certain Mr Ahmadinejad was among those who captured them. He insists he was not there, and several known hostage-takers - now his strong political opponents - deny he was with them. His website says he joined the Revolutionary Guards voluntarily after the revolution, and he is also reported to have served in covert operations during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. Mr Ahmadinejad reportedly spent no money on his first presidential campaign in 2005 - but he was backed by powerful conservatives who used their network of mosques to mobilise support for him. He also had the support of a group of younger, second-generation revolutionaries known as the Abadgaran, or Developers, who are strong in the Iranian parliament, the Majlis. The campaign focused on poverty, social justice and the distribution of wealth inside Iran. He also repeatedly defended his country's nuclear programme, which worried the US and European Union. Once in power, Mr Ahmadinejad made a defiant speech at the UN on the nuclear issue and refused to back down on Tehran's decision to resume uranium conversion. He continues to defend what he says is his country's right to civilian nuclear energy and its missile development programme. In June 2010 when the UN Security Council voted in favour of fresh sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme, he said they should be thrown in the dustbin like a "used handkerchief". Iran blames political pressure from the US and its allies for Security Council decisions. It insists it will not break its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and will not use its technology to make a nuclear bomb. Mr Ahmadinejad has also angered Western powers with his views on Israel. He has called for an end to the Israeli state and has described the Holocaust as a myth. In October 2005, Mr Ahmadinejad made a statement in which he envisaged the replacement of Israel with a Palestinian state. He was quoting Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, and his words were widely translated as a call for Israel to be "wiped off the map", though this translation is disputed. That was quickly interpreted by Western news agencies as an oblique threat to Israel. Mr Ahmadinejad has since stated that his speech was exaggerated and misinterpreted. He denied that he meant military intervention and said instead that Israel's "Zionist regime" would eventually collapse on its own. During a speech at the UN in April 2009, he commented that Israel was a state founded on racist principles, an outburst that prompted a walk-out by delegates from at least 30 countries but earned him a hero's welcome on his return home. Mr Ahmadinejad has made some small-scale concessions to moderates since 2005. He often speaks of women as being at the heart of Iranian society. He talks of empowering them and makes much of his plan to provide insurance for housewives and share Iran's oil wealth with poorer families. He said he would not be confrontational in enforcing a campaign in Tehran to insist women obeyed Iran's strict Islamic dress codes and has also allowed women into major sporting events for the first time since 1979. Mr Ahmadinejad maintains a populist streak, calling his personal website Mardomyar, or the People's Friend. He also has a reputation for living a simple life and has campaigned against corruption. Now, of course, no self-respecting gym is without one. They are comfortably the best-selling piece of gym equipment in the US. They appeal to everyone from amateurs to Olympians, if nothing else, because it may seem a far more comfortable option than pounding the streets in the depth of winter. But how safe are they? The question has been raised by the sudden death of Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Dave Goldberg, who was found lying next to a machine at a Mexican resort. The SurveyMonkey chief executive had slipped, banged his head and later died of his injuries. About 24,000 people were admitted to US hospitals last year with treadmill-related injuries, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates, with slips and strains the most common causes. But deaths are rare, with 30 reported deaths over a 12-year period to 2012, according to the CPSC, and not all of these are caused by hazards specific to treadmills. Some people suffer heart attacks from the exercise, for example. Indeed, you are more likely to be killed by lightning than by exercising on a treadmill. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 261 people died in the US after being struck by lightning between 2006 and 2013. Children, however, are at particular risk. The daughter of US boxer Mike Tyson died after becoming entangled in the cable of a treadmill, and there are numerous cases of children suffering severe friction burns after trapping fingers and hands in the revolving belt. Australia has even launched a public campaign on the dangers of treadmills to young children. Few gym companies in the UK approached for information responded, but LA fitness said that the number of people injured on treadmills was "low - just 2% of all our accidents". The company recommends being properly inducted on machines, knowing the safety features, having water at hand and not looking at your feet when you are running as among the best ways to stay safe. And any inherent risks in with exercise need to be contrasted with the risks of inactivity. Advice on exercising can appear confusing - one recent report suggested that intensive training may be as bad as not jogging at all. But World Health Organization advice remains that adults should do at least 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week. Wenger pushed fourth official Anthony Taylor after being sent off in Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win. He had been dismissed for reacting angrily to a 93rd-minute penalty given to Burnley, who trailed 1-0. After the game, Wenger, 67, apologised. He has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge of misconduct. An FA statement read: "It is alleged that in or around the 92nd minute, Wenger used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official. "It is further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct." Media playback is not supported on this device After being sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss, Wenger moved away from the pitch but stood at the tunnel entrance and refused to move as he tried to watch the remaining few minutes of Sunday's match. As Taylor encouraged him to move away, Wenger was seen to push back against him. When asked about what had led to his dismissal, Wenger said: "Look, it was nothing bad. I said something that you hear every day in football. Overall, nine times out of 10, you are not sent to the stand for that." He added: "But if I am, I am, and I should have shut up completely. I was quite calm for the whole game, more than usual." In 2012, then-Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was fined £20,000 and given a two-match touchline ban for pushing an assistant referee during a game against Tottenham. Two brown long-eared bats were discovered by builders in a wall at a site near Cambridge belonging to the Conservators of the River Cam. River manager Jed Ramsay said a bat expert described the old cottage as "bat heaven" containing dozens of them. The house will now become a sanctuary, as reported in the Cambridge News. Builders found the bats as they were working on in the 18th Century property in Clayhithe, near Waterbeach. More on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire It is thought the pair may have woken early from hibernation because of the warm winter, or they may have been disturbed by the workers, Mr Ramsay told the BBC. A volunteer from the Bat Conservation Trust took the undernourished bats away to care for them until they can be returned to their former home. She said the ramshackle house, full of holes, was an ideal habitat for them. "The bat expert told us the cottage was pretty much 'bat heaven', so it wasn't long before everyone started calling it the bat cave," Mr Ramsay said. "The irony is, we've put up loads of bat boxes around the site. There's not a single bat in any of them, but the cottage is apparently full of them." The site is being fenced off and the bat trust is going to provide signs marking it clearly as a bat reserve. A spokesman said: "Bats only have one pup a year so the loss of a single roost can have a significant impact on bat populations. "Old buildings do make good hibernation and/or maternity roosts for many of the 17 bat species that breed in the UK. This is especially true since many of their 'natural' roosts have been lost." The caves, which were used as dungeons, bomb shelters and homes, number about 800. Scott Lomax uncovered his 152nd new cave in the city in just 12 months last week. Nottingham is built on soft sandstone making it easier to dig into, but strong enough for structural stability. Sonic Barbers, in Derby Road, has a 200-year-old cave below its cellar. It can be accessed through a hatch and was most likely used as a medicine store, Mr Lomax said. "[The cave] would have served the people who lived here," he added. "Either side are what we call rock cut thralls, which are benches on which goods were kept, essentially shelves. "We had no record of this until a few days ago." He said that while some people were aware of caves underneath their property, many had not been officially recorded. The cave, which is about 2m (6.5ft) in height and about the same in diameter, had been partially filled with rubble, preventing safe access into the chamber. Mr Lomax, who is Nottingham City Council's archaeological adviser, said it was a "real shame" many caves had been used to dispose of rubbish. However, he said there were many caves beneath Nottingham still waiting to be found. "There's probably hundreds more of these caves under people's shops, houses... there's barely a day goes by that somebody lets me know about a cave in the city. "I never know what to expect, there's another piece of the jigsaw everyday." Derby Road has become a hotbed for caves and, while new ones are being found regularly, one spacious cave is the setting for a pub's restaurant. Lyle Taylor turned in Callum Kennedy's cross for his 23rd goal of the season. And substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa netted a penalty in the 11th minute of injury time after a foul on Adebayo Azeez. The Dons achieved a sixth promotion since their formation in 2002 by fans of the old Wimbledon FC following their relocation to Milton Keynes. Argyle, who topped the Championship back in August 2004, will remain in League Two for a sixth season, having almost gone bust in 2011. Neither goalkeeper was troubled until after the break, when Argyle midfielder Graham Carey's free-kick forced an excellent diving save from goalkeeper Kelle Roos. A game of few chances was lit up with Taylor's goal, as Wimbledon edged towards a deserved win in front of 57,956 fans. As Argyle pushed forward the Dons had chances to seal the game, but Luke McCormick made excellent saves from Barry Fuller as he broke through, Akinfenwa's close-range header and from Taylor, who shot tamely when clean through. Having seen semi-final hero Peter Hartley carried off on a stretcher in the closing moments after a clash with Akinfenwa, the Plymouth defender's replacement Jordon Forster fouled Azeez after he cut in from the left in the box. That allowed Akinfenwa to step up and send McCormick the wrong way from the spot. Promotion for AFC Wimbledon keeps the remarkable story of the club's rise from the aftermath of Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes going. They have now won six promotions since they first took to the field in the Combined Counties League in the ninth tier of English football. While the club still hope to return to their home borough of Merton, next season raises the tantalising prospect of two league fixtures with MK Dons, who were relegated from the Championship. The clubs have played three times before in cup matches - all at Milton Keynes - with AFC Wimbledon getting the better of MK Dons once. In a game short on memorable moments, Taylor's goal stood out as a piece of class, taking the ball well as it came across his body. A thorn in Argyle's side throughout, he was an excellent foil to first Tom Elliott and then his replacement Akinfenwa up front. He should have had a second late on when through on goal, but he will not mind his weak effort as he created a memory that will last a lifetime both for him and the fans of AFC Wimbledon. AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley: "It's surreal at the moment. It hasn't really sunk in. "Once we got to Wembley, we prepared them to the letter about trying to win this game. "To pull it off, to stand there in front of 25,000 people who 14 years ago had their club ripped away from them and have been through so much, to stand there as one of their own who's come through the ranks at the age of 11 - you can write anything you want, it doesn't get any better than that." Plymouth manager Derek Adams: "We didn't perform well enough today, we weren't composed enough at times when we had possession. "It's a huge disappointment, but we've come a long way. We've been working with a threadbare squad and it's a testament to the players to get here. "We didn't pass the ball well enough and we didn't open up Wimbledon through the wide areas or down the middle. "We've put a lot of pride back into Plymouth Argyle this season, and hopefully that can continue." Match ends, AFC Wimbledon 2, Plymouth Argyle 0.

When his home city was selected to host the Commonwealth Games, the Scottish government asked him to be chairman of the organising company. First Minister Alex Salmond said at the time that Lord Smith had a "proven track record" and "tremendous" experience. He attended the all-boys Allan Glen's School in Glasgow and after leaving education he entered accountancy, qualifying as a chartered accountant in 1968. Lord Smith worked at the Royal Bank of Scotland and held senior positions at Charterhouse Development Capital; Morgan Grenfell Private Equity and Deutsche Asset Management. For more than a decade he was chairman of global engineering company the Weir Group until stepping down in 2013. The businessman has also held numerous non-executive directorships at MFI, Stakis and Network Rail. He also chairs energy giant SSE. Two years ago he made the headlines when he was appointed the first chairman of the UK's Green Investment Bank, based in Edinburgh. In 1999, Lord Smith was knighted and then in 2008 he was given a peerage, becoming an independent cross-bencher in the House of Lords. He has been chairman of National Museums Scotland and described the opening of the new Museum of Scotland as one of the proudest days of his life. Lord Smith is also a former BBC governor, head of the Broadcasting Council for Scotland and chairman of the BBC's Children in Need. In 2003, he was invested as chancellor of Paisley University, which became the University of the West of Scotland, and held the role until September last year. He was installed as chancellor of the University of Strathclyde in October 2013. The 70-year-old is married with two daughters. Lord Smith owns Inchmarnock, a small uninhabited island off the west coast of Scotland where he breeds Highland cattle. He bought it in March 1999 and partnered with Headland Archaeology to carry out a seven-year investigation into the island, covering pre-history, early Christian, medieval and modern times. At the end of the process, Lord Smith said: "The discoveries have exceeded all my expectations, as has the quality of this scholarly work. "I have learned a very great deal about the history of Inchmarnock, and grown to love it and respect it and its former inhabitants even more, if that is possible." Bresnan, batting at number seven, made 78 not out as the visitors recovered from 193-7 to reach 298-9 at stumps. Captain Alex Lees hit a classy 87 off 135 balls and put on 108 with Richard Pyrah (43) as Gareth Andrew and Jack Shantry both claimed four wickets. Earlier, all-rounder Andrew made 59 as Worcestershire moved from 264-8 to 311 all out, with Jack Brooks taking 5-56. Andrew, who resumed on 42 not out, brought up his 17th first-class half-century off 59 balls, but was soon caught at second slip by Lees off Brooks while trying to flick the ball into the leg side. Sri Lankan Sachithra Senanayake and Charlie Morris took the score past 300 to earn Worcestershire a third batting bonus point before Senanayake was caught at deep mid-wicket to give Brooks his fifth wicket. Yorkshire were soon reduced to 3-2 in reply as Will Rhodes edged Andrew to Daryl Mitchell at second slip and Indian Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, on his debut, was snapped up at third slip off Charlie Morris, both for nought. However, Lees and Pyrah then took the attack to the bowlers either side of lunch by scoring at almost five an over before Jack Shantry removed Pyrah and Jack Leaning in quick succession. Lees, who is captaining the side at the age of just 21 with Andrew Gale suspended, continued to bat fluently, but fell 13 runs short of his century when he was trapped lbw by Andrew as the visitors reached tea on 179-5. The wickets continued to tumble early in the evening session as Andy Hodd (30) nicked Andrew to Mitchell for his third slip catch of the day and Shantry bowled Steven Patterson without scoring. Bresnan and Ryan Sidebottom took Yorkshire past 200 before Sidebottom was forced to retire hurt on 10 with a calf strain after setting off for a quick single. But Bresnan, who has three Test fifties for England, found an able partner in Brooks who made 26 before he edged Andrew behind. After Karl Carver was removed by Shantry, Sidebottom returned to the crease as the visitors closed 13 runs adrift. But Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie admits that he is "pretty unlikely" to bowl in the second innings. Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie: "Everyone could see that Sid was in a bit of discomfort. He's hurt his calf and we'll assess that over the next 24 hours. "You'd say it's pretty unlikely he'll bowl in the rest of this match, and he's gutted about that - but we've got a couple of other options. "I'm delighted with the positive way we played to get back into the game after Worcester had us in a bit of trouble. "I think we've made a psychological blow already getting so close to their score even if we don't get a lead in the morning." It claimed the figures provided to it by SportScotland show not enough is being invested by the Scottish government. A total of 1,040 schools were recorded as having no outdoor facilities. The Scottish government said £168m has been channelled through SportScotland since 2007 to support councils and sports groups. The schools without outdoor facilities included four in ten primary schools and three-quarters of schools for those with additional support needs. Labour education spokesman Daniel Johnson said: "Having access to outdoor sports facilities isn't just about finding the next Andy Murray, it's about cutting the attainment gap with healthier children more likely to do well in the classroom. "We also know that Scotland has made almost no progress in tackling childhood obesity in the last ten years. Access to outdoor sports facilities should be part of the solution. "These figures show that the SNP government hasn't been giving our schools the investment they need to deliver investment in the estate. The SNP should reverse the ten years of cuts it has made to Scotland's schools." The Scottish government has defended its record on encouraging sports provision. Sports minister Aileen Campbell said: "We are investing in a range of areas to support healthier lives for children and families, including investing £149m in free school meals for all primary 1 to 3 children, a total of £11.6m in supporting schools to meet our PE manifesto commitments between 2012 - 2016 and £50m for Active Schools. She added: "Since 2007, SportScotland has invested £168m to support councils, sports governing bodies and other organisations delivering a wide range of new and upgraded sports facilities. "We have now exceeded our target of delivering 150 Community Sport Hubs across all local authorities by 2016, with 50% based in schools. To date, a total of 157 Community Sport Hubs are in place. "SportScotland has also announced a further £6m investment to create a total of 200 Hubs by 2020." The 26-year-old, who joined on loan from Italian club Udinese until May, with a view to a permanent deal, was injured making his debut in the 1-0 FA Cup defeat by Millwall in February. City manager Craig Shakespeare told BBC Radio Leicester: "Our best wishes are with him. It was freak incident. "He will be back and around the training ground, but won't be playing."

Lopes, 26, has "traumatic deafness" after the incident at Metz that led to their Ligue 1 match being abandoned. The French club are third in Group H on seven points, with Sevilla on 10. Sevilla could top the group if leaders Juventus fail to beat Dinamo Zagreb. The Italian champions are one point ahead of Sevilla and are at home to the Croatian club, who are yet to pick up a point. French striker Wissam Ben Yedder scored the only goal as Sevilla won the reverse fixture 1-0 in September. And Lyon face a difficult challenge to improve their fortunes at the Stade de Lyon after the weekend's drama, which left Portugal international Lopes in hospital. Lopes has been cleared of permanent damage to his eardrums but it is unclear whether he will be fit for Wednesday's match. "Lyon underline the fact that the whole squad... have been seriously shaken emotionally by this aggression," the club said. Sevilla have been boosted by the return of former Arsenal and Manchester City playmaker Samir Nasri, who resumed training on Sunday after injury. Aaron Dickinson, from Douglas, said he would use the money to put a deposit down on a house and launch his own fishing business on the island. "I honestly don't think I have ever screamed so loudly in all of my life," he said. "I was literally screaming all of the way back to the shop." The 25-year-old currently works as a scallop fisherman and sells his produce to fish markets in Peel. Bradley Lowery, from Blackhall Colliery, near Hartlepool, was guest of honour at Sunderland's Premier League game against Everton on Monday. Afterwards, Everton donated £200,000 to help send him to the USA for treatment. His mother Gemma said it felt like a lottery win. She told BBC Tees: "It's amazing, not in a million years did we think that would happen. "We were in the limo on the way home when my sister-in-law rang and told us about the donation. "I didn't believe her, we had to look on the internet to check if it was true. "When we saw it, everyone was screaming and shouting. It is like we have won the lottery." The family has now raised in excess of the £700,000 they need for Bradley to have antibody treatment in New York, but still need to raise more to cover the costs of any complications. Mrs Lowery said: "We have now put the money down for the treatment, but the fundraising definitely needs to go on. "If it turns out Bradley doesn't need all the money that is raised, it will be given to someone else who needs it." Bradley was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013. After two-years of "gruelling" chemotherapy he was effectively free of cancer and, for 18 months, was a "normal boy enjoying his life". But the cancer returned in June. Mrs Lowery said: "In the UK we can get him chemotherapy but the neuroblastoma would come back, the antibody treatment would hopefully prevent it from returning so that is our best chance of him surviving." Bradley led the Sunderland team out for the game and was warmly welcomed by the fans. The crowd applauded and sang "There's only one Bradley Lowery" in the fifth minute of the game and a banner carrying the message "We're with you, Bradley" was carried around the stadium. Commenting on the game for BBC Radio 5 Live, Ian Dennis said: "It's an extremely moving experience inside the Stadium of Light as the name of Bradley Lowery is being sang, the young five year old who is being cradled by his father, who I'm sure will have a lump in his throat." The club has supported Bradley for three years with a spokesman saying his is a good cause. As well as the donation, Everton has invited Bradley and his family as their guests to the return fixture. The club declined to comment further. Massanka, 20, spent the second half of last season with Dean Keates' side scoring four times in 18 appearances. He joins for an initial six-month spell to become the Welsh side's 10th signing of the summer. Massanka was spotted by Manchester United as a schoolboy where he spent six years before moving to Manchester City and later signing professional terms with Burnley in 2015. Shotton steelworks operates a steel galvanising line which colours steel and makes steel panels for buildings. Community union official Keith Jordan said the works, which employs 800, was making money, unlike the Port Talbot plant which is said to lose £1m a day. He said staff were stunned that Indian owner Tata Steel planned to sell its entire loss-making UK business. "Shotton is one of if not the only site in Tata Steel UK that is profitable," said Mr Jordan. "The prime minister needs to take some positive steps to help Tata keep us viable. "We have two businesses based at Shotton and both of them are profitable," he said. The company has said it would "explore all options", including "divestment" of its operations. The Shotton site has had mixed fortunes over its long history with 6,500 made redundant in March 1980. In 1967, 12,000 were employed at the works when the industry was nationalised. Edmund, 21, won 6-3 6-4 to reach the last four and close in on a place in the world's top 40 next week. The Yorkshireman, ranked 43rd, goes on to face third seed Richard Gasquet, of France, in the semi-finals. Edmund had lost ATP quarter-finals in Doha, to Tomas Berdych, and London and Beijing to Andy Murray in 2016. The visitors, now 10 points clear of Morton, struck on 22 minutes, with Aidan Connolly finishing off a swift counter-attack. Ross Callachan then shot home to double the Fife side's advantage. St Mirren responded before half-time, with Alex Cooper forcing the ball in from close range. However, the hosts, seeking a third successive victory to reignite their slim play-off hopes, could not break through the Rovers defence again. The Buddies, who had manager Alex Rae sent to the stand by referee Barry Cook, remain seventh in the table, 14 points behind the Kirkcaldy men. It was a first away success for Rovers since December and closes the gap on third-placed Hibernian to seven points. Officers were called to the property on Kinver Road, Moston at 13:00 GMT on Saturday. The cause of death has not yet been confirmed but police are treating it as suspicious. A murder investigation has been launched but police do not believe there is a risk to the community. The results of a post-mortem examination are expected soon. Det Supt Phil Reade from Greater Manchester Police said: "We don't believe there is any wider risk to the community. "We have identified a suspect and we are doing all that we can to trace the individual." Property tycoons the Tchenguiz brothers were arrested in 2011 - but in June the SFO dropped its investigation into Vincent Tchenguiz. The ending of the inquiry into Kaupthing means it has also ended its investigation into Robert Tchenguiz. The SFO has apologised to the brothers and admitted mishandling the case. The SFO said that there was "insufficient evidence to justify" the continuation of the investigation any longer. Despite dropping charges against his brother in June, the SFO had been investigating Robert Tchenguiz for the past three months. It had pledged to continue do so "with vigour". In July, the High Court ruled that the search warrants for the raids on the Tchenguiz brothers in March 2011 were unlawful, and the SFO had "conceded that serious mistakes were made in connection with the application for search warrants in this case". The SFO was looking at why substantial funds flooded out of the Kaupthing bank in the days before it failed in 2008. Vincent Tchenguiz had borrowed £100m from the Icelandic bank shortly before its collapse. Both he and his brother have always denied any wrongdoing. The UK government had to step in and compensate millions of savers who lost money held in accounts in the bank's UK arm, Kaupthing Edge. While the SFO has had its share of setbacks over the years, the unit had a major success recently with the conviction of former fugitive Asil Nadir for 10 years for the theft of nearly £29m from his Polly Peck empire more than 20 years ago. But aside from the usual displays of canine agility and obedience, what have been the stand-out moments of the Birmingham-based event? 1. When it comes to accessories, less is more Whether you think they're cute or cringeworthy, dogs with hair bows risked being disqualified this year. Pat Maul, a shih tzu judge, said any dogs with "bows" or "adornments" would be refused from the ring. Her recommendation that owners use a "plain elastic band holding the topknot only please" was prompted by new rules set out by the Kennel Club, which runs Crufts. 2. This year's fashion must-have: Dog onesies It may be March but cosy "onesies" were spotted on many a fashion-forward dog at the four-day event, including this tiger print number. Other owners stuck to the more-traditional dog jacket. 3. Youngest ever Crufts handler? Jessica Allen, four, was the youngest dog handler at Crufts 2017 when she competed with her pet terrier Cariad - who is a year older than her. The Kennel Club said it thought Jessica, from Stafford, was the youngest person ever to have taken part in the 125-year-old competition. "As soon as she could walk she was into dogs," said her mother, Felicity Freer. "It brought a tear to my eye". 4. A 'guardian angel' autism dog makes the final Caddie, a Labrador trained to give autistic people assistance, reached the finals of Crufts. He helps a 13-year-old boy to carry out everyday tasks like brushing his teeth and going to the shops. Caddie and his owner, Joel, are finalists in the Crufts Friends for Life hero dog competition. 5. Public displays of affection Crufts isn't all serious, as these pictures of pedigree pets and their owners show. 6. But breeding remains an issue Crufts comes with its fair share of controversy, with some people claiming it does not place enough emphasis on the welfare of dogs. Campaign group Peta said the show was "all about celebrating dogs who have been bred by humans to have unnatural, exaggerated features". Last year, a German Shepherd with a sloped back appeared to struggle walking was awarded a Best in Breed prize. The Kennel Club has said dogs can only be exhibited if they can "stand freely and unsupported" and show "structural balance". It has also said that it takes any cases of animal cruelty seriously. Hutchinson set the fastest speed of the week in the Superstocks at 132.80mph, a time of 17 minutes and two seconds for the 37.73-mile Mountain Course. Dunlop also broke John McGuinness's record of 132.70 when he lapped at 132.75 on his Hawk BMW Superbike. The pair will start as favourites in Saturday's opening Superbike race. The breathtaking speeds set in a week of perfect conditions for practice indicate that the first-ever sub 17-minute lap for the circuit could be on the cards. Dunlop, also riding a BMW, was marginally behind Hutchinson in the Superstocks on 131.88 - that from a standing start. Yorkshireman Dean Harrison became the fastest Supersport rider of the week when he lapped at 126.25 on his Kawasaki on Friday night. That speed eclipsed Lee Johnston's previous best for the class of 124.84, set on Thursday evening. Overall practice leaderboard Superbikes - 1. Michael Dunlop 132.75mph; 2. Ian Hutchinson 131.66; 3. John McGuinness 131.12; 4. Dean Harrison 130.00; 5. Conor Cummins 129.99; 6. Michael Rutter 129.61 Superstocks - 1. Ian Hutchinson 132.80; 2. Michael Dunlop 131.88; 3. Michael Rutter 129.20; 4.

Ian Hutchinson 124.22; 6. Michael Dunlop 124.053 Esther (not her real name), who is now 33, picks up her pen again as Zimbabweans go back to the polls to describe what has changed in the nearly four years since her last entry. The election heralds the end of the power-sharing deal between President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party and the Movement of Democratic Change led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Vote in pictures I distinctly recall buying 12 loaves of bread in Messina, the South African town bordering Zimbabwe, and how good it felt to eat it back in Harare, and how a cousin was elated when I gave her one loaf as a gift. She said: "My children will be so happy!" That was us in 2008, struggling for everything - no water in our taps, constant power cuts, unending fuel and bank queues, and most of all, no food in the shops, not even bread. We had to go down to South Africa or Botswana to buy basics. Now I have the choice of white, brown, whole-wheat, rye, brioche, garlic, flat breads… Life has changed. Back then everyone struggled - the cousin I mentioned above lives in the upmarket northern suburbs of Harare. But it's really difficult for those who don't earn much. Before we abandoned our own currency to take up the US dollar and South African rand in 2009 (we use any kind of money, but mostly those two) you could at least trade in currency - albeit illegally, to generate a bit of money. If a relative in the diaspora sent say $50 (£32), and that was changed $5 at a time into Zimbabwean dollars, a family could last the month, paying for utilities, rent and food. Now $50 is rent for one room in a high density area. So life is tougher for low earners. We had the 2008 polls amid all these shortages. How the president survived the election is a wonder. We're going back to the polls, with three weeks' notice. When the announcement came through we were all pretty much shocked. I honestly thought we'd back track and reschedule. But we're going ahead! It's so different from the last elections, it's all very quiet! No reports of atrocities in the rural areas, no rumours of army bases, no certificates for having been beaten up. I was so very fearful of that. Instead, I saw women in their red T-shirts leaving the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party's headquarters just the other day; because they know no-one will beat them up for doing so. The most amazing thing for me has been hearing party adverts other than from Zanu-PF on live radio. I did a double take the first time. We have two main parties here, and both seem to have mass produced T-shirts and caps with their tag lines. They are everywhere! And we're seeing the products of Photoshop with the incumbent airbrushed and cropped to the point where he looks like someone else. I've heard and laughed over so many comments on this poster: "Looks like his younger brother, maybe it's a picture from the 1980s? His own likeness doesn't inspire confidence - he's now too old" and so on. All this in hushed tones and behind closed doors, mocking him is still a punishable offense - that hasn't changed. It has been said the youth will determine this one. I'm still young, I believe I fit into this group. I'm a university graduate renting a house in an OK neighbourhood, driving, like most people my age, an ex-Japanese import that came in with 100,000km on the clock. I am working, which makes me part of a tiny 7-10% of the population. Our employment rate is the unemployment rate of other countries. That is massive and unacceptable really. So you can imagine how the youth have been talking ahead of polling day. We want a working economy; we want jobs that provide full employment. Q&A: Zimbabwe elections We want to move out of rented apartments and cottages and move into houses with affordable mortgages. We want security, freedom of association and speech. We are part of the global village with internet on our phones, so we want what every other young person out there wants. I haven't come across anyone who has really studied a single manifesto to help them decide. Maybe I move in the wrong circles? Anyway, from where I stand this one is about gut feeling - who will give me what I want? Forget the catch words on the posters, in the radio and TV ads - those could well have been a waste of money. I think minds were made up a long time ago, and we'll see how it goes. I hope they don't make us wait for the results for five weeks like they did after the first round in 2008! Ciaran McClean, who is a member of the Green Party, says the pact breaches the Good Friday Agreement and the Bribery Act. The DUP has agreed to support the minority Conservative government in important votes, in return for money for Northern Ireland. A former government lawyer said the bribery claim was "spurious". The government has said it believes the confidence and supply agreement is within the law. Mr McClean has launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund the judicial review. David Greene, Mr McClean's solicitor, said an application for a judicial review would be submitted either on Monday or Tuesday. On his crowdfunding webpage, Mr McClean, who stood unsuccessfully for the Green Party in West Tyrone in June's election, says the government is "threatening hard-won peace" with its DUP deal. "The Tories are being propped up by the DUP in order to cling to power after the recent election. This horrifies me. It's straight bribery - money for votes. "The deal flies in the face of the Good Friday Agreement, under which the government is obligated to exercise its power with 'rigorous impartiality' on behalf of all the people in the diversity of their identities and traditions." He is pursuing the legal challenge as an individual, not on behalf of the Green Party. Mr McClean's solicitor is a senior partner at London-based Edwin Coe solicitors, who represented hairdresser Deir Tozetti Dos Santos, one of the claimants in the successful Brexit challenge in the Supreme Court. Mr Greene told the BBC there had been a "public outcry" over the Tory-DUP deal. "It's not a question of foisting views and the important point is this is about the rule of law," he said. "This is about a citizen's entitlement to go in front of a court and say that doesn't look right and to be able to challenge it in some meaningful way." Alberto Costa, former government lawyer and now MP for South Leicestershire, told the BBC the investment given to Northern Ireland as part of the deal was not a "personal inducement" and Prime Minister Theresa May had a constitutional duty to form a government. He said the deal was "transparent and lawful" and the bribery claim was "vexatious" and "totally without merit". Under the confidence and supply arrangement, the DUP guarantees that its 10 MPs will vote with the government on the Queen's Speech, the Budget, and legislation relating to Brexit and national security - while Northern Ireland will receive an extra £1bn over the next two years. While rival parties in Northern Ireland have largely welcomed the additional funding, concerns have been raised that the deal could undermine the peace process and devolution negotiations, with the UK government dependent on the support of the DUP. The deal was also widely criticised by opposition parties in the UK. Labour branded it "shabby and reckless", while the Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones called it a "straight bung" and said it "kills the idea of fair funding". Wyatt, 25, came up through the club's youth academy and made his first-team debut in 2009. Pinner, 24, signed from Worcestershire in 2014 and scored 365 first-class runs for the Foxes. Chief executive Wasim Khan MBE told the club website: "They are both terrific professionals and we wish them all the very best for the future." The award is given annually to the book considered to best capture the comic spirit of PG Wodehouse. This year marks the first time in the prize's history that it has been split between two winners. Rothschild and Murray beat off competition from former winner Marina Lewycka, formerly shortlisted John O'Farrell, and US author Paul Beatty. It is first literary award for Rothschild, whose book The Improbability of Love was her debut novel. She said: "To use a word that my hero PG Wodehouse invented, I am terribly 'gruntled' by winning this prize, sharing it with the great Paul Murray." The Improbability of Love is about the skulduggery of the London art world. The judges described it as "a wonderful satire on the art trade, preposterous billionaires, Russian oligarchs and much else, a brilliant conceit faultlessly carried off". Paul Murray's third novel tells the story of two Dubliners: Claude, a banker who decides to rob his own bank and struggling novelist and crook, Paul, who helps him do it. The author said he was "delighted and honoured" to win the award. "I first read PG Wodehouse as a boy and have kept returning to him ever since, longer than any other writer - which makes this award very special," he added. The judges said: "Murray's setup is funny, the elegant zip of his sentences make you smile, his novel is an achingly topical, clever, delightful tale of folly and delusion. We loved it." As with previous winners, Murray and Rothschild will be presented with a locally-bred Gloucestershire Old Spot pig - named after winning novels - at the Hay Festival on 4 June. The prize was judged by a panel including Hay Festival director Peter Florence, Everyman's Library publisher David Campbell, writer and comedian Sara Pascoe, and BBC books editor James Naughtie. Naughtie said: "It was impossible to separate these two books, because they made us laugh so much. "Between them they produce a surfeit wild satire and piercing humour about the subject that can always make us laugh and cry. Money." The winners were announced ahead of the Hay Festival which begins on Thursday. Previous winners include Alexander McCall Smith, Howard Jacobson and Sir Terry Pratchett. April Reeves was hit by a car on the A371 while out cycling with her mother and brother in Locking on 28 May. Campaigners want the 60mph speed limit cut and new pedestrian crossings built. There is currently one concrete bridge with steep steps which is inaccessible to anyone with buggies, bicycles or wheelchair users. The A371 divides the village with the former RAF base and the new Flowerdown housing estate on one side and all the village facilities including the school, post office, park and shop on the other. The campaigners wore pink - April's favourite colour - in her memory. They were joined by members of the road safety charity Brake. North Somerset Council said road improvements were already under way and it hoped to add in wider cycle paths. The council said design work had also begun for a traffic light junction on the A371 which would include a speed limit and pedestrian crossing. A US team calculated the effect on the shape of the early Moon of tidal and rotational forces. Writing in Nature, they say its own spin and the tidal tug of the Earth created a "lemon-shaped" satellite. Lead researcher Ian Garrick-Bethell, from the University of California Santa Cruz, said this shape-shifting occurred when the Moon was mostly liquid beneath a thin outer crust of rock. This interaction with the Earth also caused the Moon to shift slightly on its own axis. "For the Earth and Mars and other bodies, we know that the dominant shape of the planet is due to its spin," he said. "If you take a water balloon and start spinning it, it will bulge out at the equator, and on the Earth, we have something very similar to that." This effect, however, does not explain how "surprisingly distorted" our Moon is. "It's spinning really slowly, and it's really far from the Earth, so it's not like tides today could be causing that." Prof Garrick-Bethell's new explanation is that four billion years ago - when the Moon formed from the debris thrown out by a huge impact between early Earth and a so-called planetoid - was much closer to the Earth. This meant tides were stronger. "The Moon was [also] spinning much faster," he told BBC News. "So there's a variety of interesting things that could happen, at that time when the Moon was really hot, that could change its shape." When the Moon first formed, it was liquid rock. As it cooled, the outer crust solidified and floated on this viscous ocean. The gravitational tug of the Earth raised tides on the Moon that started to "flex and pull on that thin crust", said Prof Garrick-Bethell. He and his colleagues were inspired in this idea by an earlier study of one of Jupiter's moon's Europa. Europa has an ice crust floating on a liquid ocean of water. In a 2013 study, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin calculated how tidal heating - caused by Jupiter's tug on that warmer liquid water - was distributed in Europa's icy shell. Prof Garrick-Bethell's team realised that a similar effect could have occurred in the liquid rock ocean on the early Moon. They also solved the mathematical problems caused by large craters and basins on the Moon's surface that formed after the crust solidified. These have previously caused problems for past attempts to interpret its shape. They're essentially chunks of "missing Moon" that make it difficult to map its co-ordinates and work out how its original spherical shape would have been rearranged. "We did a lot of work to estimate the uncertainties in the analysis that result from those gaps [in the data]," Prof Garrick-Bethell said. The result, the researchers claim, is the best explanation yet of the Moon's odd shape. Consultant Peter O'Keefe, 49, was suspended from University Hospital of Wales in 2012. An independent inquiry panel dismissed Mr O'Keefe from his position as consultant cardiothoracic surgeon with immediate effect and no notice. The decision is subject to a right of appeal. A statement from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: "After considering the findings made by an independent inquiry panel and hearing evidence and submissions in mitigation the board of the health board found that Mr O'Keefe's standards of behaviour in the workplace constitutes gross misconduct within the health board's disciplinary rules." Welsh Secretary of the British Medical Association, Dr Richard Lewis, said Mr O'Keefe was on holiday with his family, so was unable to comment personally. Data showed that non-native species were unlikely to out-compete native species, which were not widespread enough to have an impact nationally. However, the study adds that invasive species are problematic in local areas, costing an estimated £1.7bn each year. The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The team from the University of York looked at data from almost 500 plots across the UK, comparing results from 1990 with those from 2007. The dataset, the Countryside Survey, is described as a "unique study or audit of the natural resources of the UK's countryside" and has been collecting data since 1978. Co-author Chris Thomas from the University of York said the study assessed the impact of non-native species on a national scale, not the impact recorded in localised areas. "If you look at just one place, there are only going to be certain plants growing there," he explained. "If there is a bunch of non-native or recently introduced species growing there then, inevitably, in that exact location you might not see quite as much of what you would regard as native species. "Locally, it is clearly true that if a non-native species becomes extremely abundant then you'd think that native species were suffering but what we are arguing is that non-native plants are no different from the native ones because, over a period of time, native plants change their abundance as well." Broader perspective Prof Thomas added: "For examples, brambles might become abundant or a change in uplands management could result in bracken becoming more widespread." In fact, when examined from a broader perspective, the study's findings show a tipping of the scale towards native species. "We actually observe that it is the native species that have changed their abundance, in fact they have increased their abundance more than non-native species," Prof Thomas told BBC News. In particular, he highlighted two of the study's main findings: "The first is that almost all non-native plant species are pretty rare and localised. "The vast majority of non-native species were not even common enough to be found in a single one of the sample plots. So most of the vegetation is not composed of non-native species, which means that most vegetation change has got nothing to do with non-native species. "The second key finding is that if we look at the increases and decreases over time of particular species - both in terms of their abundance and at how many sites they occur - there was no consistent difference between species, regardless of when they arrived in Britain. "Rather than getting a picture of all the new species increasing and all the native species decreasing, which is the way that the story seems to get portrayed sometimes, we see that the date a plant species arrives in Britain doesn't predict whether it will be increasing or decreasing." Costly problem The Non-Native Species Secretariat is responsible for helping to co-ordinate the strategy to tackle and control the impact of non-native species across the UK, reporting to the relevant governments and agencies. Its definition of non-native species refers to an organism introduced to the UK "outside of its natural past or present distribution". A report published in December 2010 concluded that invasive non-native species, such as Japanese knotweed, cost the British economy an estimated £1.7bn each year. Responding to the team's findings, a Defra spokesperson told BBC News: "Whilst we recognise that the vast majority of them do not cause any problems, some non-native plant species take over 100 years to have a negative impact. "Invasive non-native species pose a serious threat to our environment and economy, for example, Himalayan balsam is threatening the native Tansy beetle with extinction in the UK while Japanese knotweed costs the British economy £166m a year." Prof Thomas commented: "We are not saying that some non-native plants are not a nuisance to us as humans. There are native species that are problematic, such as nettles in gardens or ragwort in meadows, but it does not mean that any of these species are inexorably driving the rest of British biodiversity extinct." "Perhaps the most surprising result... is that when we looked across all of the plots, we found that the places that had increasing numbers of non-native species also had an increasing number of native species - there was a positive correlation. "Where there were places that were good for plant diversity, it was good for both native and non-native species." Prof Thomas and his colleague Dr Georgina Palmer said that almost 40% of the organisms listed as invasive in Britain were plants, yet invasive plants had "rarely been linked to the national or global extinction of native plant species". In summary, Prof Thomas said, the generally negative view of non-natives could do with some adjustment. "What we would conclude is that to have quite so many non-native species at the top of our list of problematic plants doesn't really make sense - unless you are willing to add hundreds of problematic native species to the list as well." Tandy, 36, had been expected to be part of the Wales setup for next summer's tour of the Pacific Islands. But BBC Wales Sport understands Tandy declined an invitation to be part of Robin McBryde's backroom staff, "That link was only going to be a matter of time, the way we've gone and the way we've played," Jones said. "I think he's going to be true to himself and the region and what he wants to do because I'm sure he won't want to do anything to sacrifice what we're doing here or himself." Cardiff Blues head coach Danny Wilson, his attack coach Matt Sherratt and Scarlets backs coach Stephen Jones will join tour head coach McBryde for the Tests against Tonga and Samoa. The move is to develop Welsh coaches in the absence of Warren Gatland and Rob Howley, who will be on the British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand. Tandy's focus will remain on the Ospreys, who host west Wales rivals Scarlets in the Pro12 on Tuesday, 27 December. Wing Keelan Giles is set to return having been ruled out of last Saturday's European Challenge Cup win over Grenoble with a rib injury. Ospreys have announced over 15,000 tickets have already been sold for the game at the Liberty Stadium.

Felix Magath was sacked with the club bottom of the Championship after seven games, following their relegation from the Premier League last season. Murphy spent five seasons at Fulham making more than 200 appearances. "I care about the club deeply and I've always had a desire to get involved but that's out of my hands," the 37-year-old told BBC Radio 5 live Sport. "I've always said I'd like to go back to Fulham at some point in some capacity because I have an affinity with the supporters there. "If they did want to speak to me, of course I'd be open-minded to that. I would never disregard something like that." Magath, 61, had only been in charge of the club since February but his side had taken just one point from their first seven games of the new campaign. The club's under-21 manager Kit Symons has been named as caretaker boss. Murphy expects the Cottagers to name an experienced replacement but says the most important thing is that they avoid relegation. "First and foremost, it's about finding the candidates that can get Fulham out of this mess and if people within the hierarchy of the club think that's someone with more experience than me, that's fine," he said. "My desire is to see them not at the bottom of the Championship because one thing is for sure, if their form continues and there was another relegation, the club structure and finances would be a catastrophe." Magath became Fulham's third manager of the 2013-14 season following the dismissals of Martin Jol and Rene Meulensteen, but the German could not save the west London club from relegation, ending their 13-year stay in the top flight. "There were certain methods that he adopted or tried to instil into the players that many of them felt were very unusual to say the least, if not prehistoric," added Murphy. "It didn't look like a team dying for the cause and playing for the manager, it certainly looked like a lot of players, who were confused and unsure of what they were trying to do."

Former Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy says he would consider becoming the new manager at Craven Cottage.

Kieran Hope, 33, taught at a school in Chelmsford, Essex, when he arranged meetings with the girls via text messages, phone calls and emails. At Chelmsford Crown Court, Hope was found guilty of seven counts of sexual activity with a child, said the court. The court heard Hope abused his position of trust to target three teenage girls between 2012 and 2014. His offences ranged from inappropriate touching to engaging in a full sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl. Hope, of Keith Avenue, Wickford, bombarded one of his victims with more than 3,000 text messages in a single month. Det Con Jeanine Atkins-Calver said: "Kieran Hope used his position as a teacher to strike up inappropriate relationships with vulnerable female students. "He abused his position of trust to become a sexual predator, flattering the girls with compliments and persuading them that engaging in sexual activity with him would help build their confidence. "I would like to thank the girls who came forward to give evidence against him. Their bravery may well have stopped other young girls being abused." Police launched an investigation into Hope in May 2014 after one of his victims confided in a friend who encouraged her to come forward. He was charged with sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust and appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. Following his appearance in court, two other victims came forward and he was later charged with further offences.

A music teacher who sexually abused teenage girls at the school where he worked has been jailed for 11.5 years.

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.

A former student, who was attacked by her lecturer partner, has called on the University of Sussex to "take violence against women seriously".

Heslop was sent off for two fouls in quick succession, leaving his team-mates to cling on for the last 17 minutes of the National League game. By that stage, Richard Brodie's early goal for York had been matched by Forest Green's Rhys Murphy, and the hosts had the final say in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Four days after the Minstermen suffered a 6-1 mauling at Gateshead, Jackie McNamara's side went ahead at the New Lawn. Striker Brodie cracked a fine shot into the top of Sam Russell's net for the 20th-minute opener and he went close again three minutes later. But Forest Green levelled when Murphy tucked away a cross from Ben Jefford in the 40th minute and the home side's Mohamed Chemlal cracked the ball against the York woodwork before the break. York were in trouble when Heslop was ordered off, with Chemlal on the wrong end of each challenge. Tubbs went close for Forest Green and at the other end Yan Klukowski was thwarted near the death by Russell. With time almost up, Aarran Racine was brought down late on in the penalty area and Tubbs made no mistake from 12 yards.

Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton and Darlington councils believe a new body could boost job-creation and investment. Middlesbrough Labour MP Andy McDonald said it would allow the area to bid for extra money and power from government. Critics argue the councils should, instead, join the combined authority covering the rest of the North East set up in April. South Tyneside council leader Iain Malcolm said one combined authority for the whole of the North East would allow the region to "speak with one voice". "The danger for us is that we will have two combined authorities catching the train to London, knocking on the door to ministers and civil servants, when really it would have been good to have one set of people arguing strongly on behalf of the whole of the north east region," Mr Malcolm said. Combined authorities are supported by the coalition government, which has signalled its willingness to give them extra power and responsibility. Mr McDonald said: "This is a body that will come together with much greater clout to deal with issues of transport infrastructure, economic development and skills." The proposed combined authority would not be a so-called "super council" as it would not run services such as refuse collection, libraries and schools and the five authorities would not merge. Similar authorities are already running in West Yorkshire, Sheffield, Liverpool and Greater Manchester.

Five Teesside councils have announced plans for a combined authority.

Firefighters were called to reports of a kitchen fire at a property in Woodville, near Swadlincote, at about 05:00 BST. Derbyshire Police has not released details about the dead man but said it has informed his family. Officers at the scene are working with the fire service to determine the cause of the blaze in Station Road, police said. Neighbours said they were awoken to flames pouring out of the upper windows of this house. Minesh Parbat, 36, told jurors he dropped his trousers and underpants as part of a dare with Lisa Watling, but claimed there was nothing sexual in it. He said she sat on the dashboard as they drove in West Sussex before moving in front of him and obscuring his view. Mr Parbat denies causing death by dangerous driving at Lewes Crown Court. Giving evidence, Mr Parbat, of Gregory Close in Maidenbower, Crawley, said Ms Watling, 28, had described feeling "horny". But he denied anything sexual taking place as he drove his BMW Z3 and said he struggled to get Ms Watling off him before the crash. The court heard the couple had been out for a meal on 8 March last year and had been to her Langley Green home before he realised his phone was at his home and they went to collect it in the early hours. Mr Parbat said Ms Watling made a sexual suggestion before he pulled over and undressed. He said he carried on driving before she sat on the dashboard and moved in front of him so her necklace touched his eye. "I said, 'no, babe'. I was scared. I thought she was just going to get off me. I had to struggle to get her off me. I had both hands on the steering wheel at the time," Mr Parbat told the court. He said by the time he got Ms Watling off him it was too late and the car crashed. After the crash on the A2011, Mr Parbat gave a positive blood test which showed 102 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 milligrams. Prosecuting, Philip Meredith suggested Mr Parbat had not pulled over and Ms Watling had been in a "conventional sitting position" and he had been driving dangerously while over the limit, but Mr Parbat replied: "No." Jurors have heard the car veered into the central reservation, which Mr Parbat responded to by over-steering, causing the vehicle to spin, leave the carriageway and crash into a fence. Ms Watling, who was found wearing only a T-shirt and bra, died later that day, the court was told. The jury previously heard Mr Parbat told police his girlfriend's actions did not distract him enough to cause the accident because he had seen her like that a "million times before". The case continues. Media playback is not supported on this device The Norwegian was part of a 20-man breakaway but made a winning solo attack late on to finish ahead of Germany's Nikias Arndt in second and Jens Keukeleire of Belgium in third. It was Boasson Hagen's third Tour stage victory, but his first since 2011. Team Sky rider Froome crossed the line in Salon-de-Provence over 12 minutes behind the stage winner. But the three-time champion retains the yellow jersey and will take a 23-second lead over Romain Bardet into Saturday's time trial in Marseille - the penultimate stage - with Rigoberto Uran six seconds further adrift. Britain's Simon Yates remains in the best young rider's white jersey, with an advantage of two minutes six seconds over nearest rival Louis Meintjes of South Africa. As one of the fastest sprinters remaining in the race, Dimension Data's Boasson Hagen became the favourite to win the stage by riding himself into the breakaway that was finally established after about 35km of the 222.5km route - the longest stage of this year's Tour. However, instead of waiting for the final sprint, Boasson Hagen, 30, staved off all attempts by his rivals to drop him before riding them off his wheel. He showed guile as well as power. Only Arndt and Boasson Hagen knew that the right side of a roundabout in the final 3km was the quickest course to take as the others in a nine-man split went left and lost their chance. Team Sunweb's Arndt flicked out his elbow to implore the rider behind to do his turn, only to discover it was Boasson Hagen, who duly came to the front and kicked clear. After four podium finishes in this year's Tour - including an agonising photo finish defeat by Marcel Kittel on stage seven - Boasson Hagen finally claimed victory, also ending a six-year wait since two stage wins in a breakout performance for Team Sky at the 2011 Tour. His win also salvages a difficult tour for Dimension Data, after their leader and sprinter Mark Cavendish abandoned following a crash on stage four. Froome, 32, enjoyed about as close to an entirely stress-free day as is possible on the Tour de France as Team Sky dictated the tempo on the front. With the likes of Cavendish, Kittel and Arnaud Demare already out of the race, none of the remaining sprinters' teams were likely to receive any help to reel in the breakaway as a tired peloton happily let them build an unassailable advantage. On an otherwise uneventful day, there was confirmation that Australian Michael Matthews will win the green jersey points classification, provided he completes the two remaining stages. German Andre Greipel had needed to win all remaining 160 points on offer even to just draw level with Matthews but neither rider scored any points on stage 19. Saturday's stage 20 is a 22.5km individual time trial in Marseille. If, as expected, Froome remains in the overall lead at the end of day then he will win a fourth Tour title and third in a row on Sunday as tradition dictates no general classification rivals attack the yellow jersey on the final stage in Paris. Froome, who will go out last, will also likely target victory in the time trial, to avoid becoming only the seventh rider to win the yellow jersey without winning a stage of that year's Tour.

Police seized 211 coded blood bags from the clinic of Dr Eufemiano Fuentes. They must now be given to the World Anti-Doping Agency, cycling bosses and the Italian Olympic Committee. A judge had ordered the destruction of the bags following the conclusion of the court case against Fuentes in 2013. But a number of sporting and anti-doping authorities appealed against that decision. Tuesday's ruling - more than three years on - means they will now have access to the bags, which it is believed could contain further evidence of doping. The appeal judges said they were overturning the earlier decision to destroy the blood bags to help the "fight against doping, which undermines the essential ethical value of sport". "We are dismayed that it took so long to receive the decision but we will now partner with the other parties that have been granted access to the blood bags, to determine our legal options vis-à-vis analysing the blood and plasma bags," World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) director general, David Howman, said. More than 50 cyclists were originally linked to the case. Among those eventually suspended were former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich, Spanish Vuelta champion Alejandro Valverde and Ivan Basso, who later confirmed that his blood was among the frozen samples found. Fuentes also worked in other sports and the new ruling raises the potential for the identities of additional athletes to be revealed. The sports doctor was given a suspended one-year prison sentence for endangering public health, but that sentence was later overturned. Ten years ago, police seized the blood bags from the Madrid clinic of Fuentes as part of Operation Puerto. The bags belonged to athletes who received treatments from the doctor, though he has refused to confirm whether the anonymous athletes were doping or not. In April 2013, Judge Julia Patricia Santamaria ruled the blood bags should be destroyed, a decision which provoked widespread criticism. Since then, the bags have been stored in an anti-doping laboratory in Barcelona. In its annual report, the UN said 3,498 civilians were killed and 7,920 wounded in 2016, a 3% rise on 2015. The number of children killed or injured jumped by a quarter to its highest level to date. Ground fighting between militants and troops in civilian areas was the main cause of civilian casualties, it said. Overall, the report attributed almost two thirds of civilian casualties to what it called anti-government elements, mainly the Taliban, and a quarter to pro-government forces. UN Special Representative for Afghanistan Tadamichi Yamamoto described the civilian deaths as "deeply harrowing and largely preventable". "The escalation in ground fighting and overall insecurity, compounded by a lack of respect for human rights and international humanitarian law by parties to the conflict, particularly anti-government elements, led to an overall deterioration in civilian protection," the report said. The UN began documenting civilian casualties in Afghanistan in 2009. The UN attributed a total of 6,994 civilian casualties (2,131 deaths and 4,863 injured) to anti-government elements. It blamed most of these on the Taliban. The UN listed leading causes of deaths and injuries as IEDs, suicide and co-ordinated attacks, and ground fighting where casualties were attributed solely to militants. But the report found that the steepest proportional rise came from attacks attributed to Islamic State (IS) militants. It said the group was behind 899 deaths and injuries, up from 82 in 2015. To date IS has been a relatively minor faction in Afghanistan. The group, which announced it was expanding into Afghanistan in January 2015, has secured footholds in at least four districts in mountainous Nangarhar province, east of Kabul on the border with Pakistan. But in the face of armed opposition from Afghan troops and the Taliban, it has not managed to move permanently beyond that. Since mid-2016, however, it appears to have changed tactics, demonstrating what the UN called an "increased ability to conduct large, deadly attacks against civilian targets in Kabul". The UN said that before mid-2016, all IS-related civilian casualties had been in Nangarhar. But in July IS carried out the first of four attacks on civilians in Kabul, when twin blasts targeting a protest march by members of the Shia Muslim minority group killed at least 80 people. Two other IS attacks in Kabul, at a shrine and a mosque, also targeted Shia Muslims. A fourth struck staff members of the Presidential Protection Service. These four attacks combined led to a total of 152 civilians dead and 560 injured. Afghanistan has not experienced levels of sectarian violence seen in Pakistan and Iraq, but analysts say IS attacks on Shia Muslims appear to be a concerted new attempt to fracture national unity. Tadamichi Yamamoto highlighted the "alarming increase" in child casualties in 2016, as the UN documented 3,512 child casualties (923 deaths and 2,589 injured), a 24% increase compared with 2015. Most child casualties were caused by ground fighting in civilian-populated areas. The report emphasised a 65% increase in child casualties from the detonation of explosive remnants of war, saying it was "extremely concerned by the persistent failure of [parties to the conflict] to mark and clear unexploded ordnance from the battlefield following ground fighting in civilian-populated areas". The report described one incident that occurred on 16 July in Pul-i-Khumri district, in Baghlan province which killed a girl and three boys. "I saw our neighbour, a boy who later died, holding something made of metal. I knew that it was something explosive. He told all of us 'I'm going to detonate it'," the report quoted a 13-year-old girl as saying. "He began hitting the object with a stone. It exploded. I fell unconscious and I don't know what happened next." Almost a quarter of the civilian casualties were attributed to pro-government forces, the majority to Afghan security forces. Many of these were caused by troops' use of mortars and artillery during ground operations in populated areas. The number of deaths and injuries caused by air strikes also rose by 99% to levels last seen in 2009. The UN said 250 people were killed and 340 injured in air strikes in 2016, with responsibility relatively evenly split between Afghan and international aircraft. Meanwhile, a report released earlier this month by an official US watchdog said the death rate amongst Afghan troops was soaring. The report by the US government's Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said 6,785 Afghan soldiers and police officers were killed between 1 January and 12 November - an increase of about 35% on the whole of 2015 - as they struggled to retain control of parts of the country. The number of 70cl bottles released for sale fell from 87.5 million in 2013 to 83.3 million, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs. The figures were obtained by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA), which is campaigning for a cut in spirits duty. SWA officials want Chancellor George Osborne to announce a 2% tax cut in his Budget statement on Wednesday. The trade body said the domestic market had contracted by 9.5% since 2009. It attributed the drop to "onerous" levels of taxation, amounting to 78% as a share of the price of an average bottle. In last year's Budget, Mr Osborne froze duty on spirits and scrapped the alcohol duty escalator, which had increased duty annually by inflation plus 2% since 2008. SWA said a duty cut this year would assist growth across the entire sector. Chief executive David Frost said: "Scotch whisky is a massive export success for the UK so it's obviously disappointing to see this decline in volumes in our domestic market. "In next week's Budget the chancellor has the perfect opportunity to support an important UK industry. He should cut spirits duty by 2%. This move would also benefit consumers and public finances. "In last year's Budget, the chancellor highlighted Scotch whisky as a 'huge British success story'. "We hope this year too he will show his support for this world-class manufacturing industry." She might as well have been shaking her fist at a cloud, for all the good it did. By Wednesday evening, not only had the US media divulged more details of the investigation - information on Salman Abedi's family and his international travels - the New York Times printed close-up photographs of fragments of the Manchester bomb and the apparent tattered remains of the backpack that held it. British officials have gone from irritated to furious, and Manchester police began withholding further details of the attack from US intelligence out of concern that the leaks are tipping off suspects and impeding its investigation. The porous nature of the US government - its inability to protect sensitive information - may come as a shock to the international community, but in the US it's just another day at the proverbial office. During the 2016 campaign, the FBI leaked a crescendo of damaging details about its investigation into Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the days leading up to the presidential election. Since then, the intelligence community has been a sieve of unflattering information about President Donald Trump, including sharing embarrassing accounts of his interaction with foreign leaders and the communications of his advisers. Although it was overshadowed by the nature of the revelations, the fact that the contents of intercepted phone conversations between Trump adviser Michael Flynn and a Russian ambassador made the front page of the New York Times was an extraordinary violation of surveillance protocols. Then there are the leaks that have originated within the Trump administration itself, as rival factions share pointed details about the internal machinations of the White House in a scramble to gain favour with the president. And while not technically a leak, the (leaked) news that Mr Trump himself revealed sensitive information to a Russian delegation in the Oval Office reportedly given to the US by Israeli intelligence has contributed to the growing sense that the US government is dysfunctional, at best. Until recently it was a condition Americans had largely kept to themselves. Now US allies are part of the game. Get news from the BBC in your inbox, each weekday morning All this comes as the Trump administration is pressing for increased co-operation between the US and European allies, including the UK, to counter extremist violence and combat the so-called Islamic State. That includes a recently announced Nato plan to create a new intelligence-sharing division and an anti-terrorism "fusion cell". For the moment all the parties who are talking - on and off the record - say that this episode won't affect US efforts to foster greater international collaboration or threaten the US-UK "special relationship". Mr Trump, in a statement released to the media, called the leaks "deeply troubling" and re-emphasised the strength of the US-UK alliance. "There is no relationship we cherish more than the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom," he said. Follow Anthony Zurcher on Twitter. The thing about leaks is they're usually put out for a reason. The ongoing feud between Mr Trump and the intelligence community helps explain why US media have had a string of explosive stories about Mr Trump and the Russian investigation over the past few weeks. It's easy to see who profits and suffers from whatever bits of White House palace intrigue splash across the front pages on a near daily basis. The Manchester leaks, however, are a bit more difficult to peg. Who, exactly, benefits? Some of the leaks have been attributed to "intelligence sources" others to "police officials", which doesn't narrow things down much. The leaks certainly an embarrassment for the Trump administration, making his team appear unable to run a tight ship at a time when he's taking his first turn on the world stage. On the other hand, this will bolster the president's efforts to paint the leaks that have bedevilled his White House as a threat to national security, hindering the US ability to fight militant extremists. Mr Trump has complained that the intelligence community hasn't taken the onslaught of leaks seriously over the past few months. Perhaps it will now. "These leaks have been going on for a long time, and my administration will get to the bottom of this," Mr Trump said in his statement. "I am asking the Department of Justice and other relevant agencies to launch a complete review of this matter, and if appropriate, the culprit should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." There may be someone in the US government who thinks these revelations could pressure the UK to take more aggressive steps of its own to address what Mr Trump in the past has termed "radical Islamic terrorism". Then there's the possibility that the leaks are merely one person's attempt to gain favour with a reporter or burnish his or her reputation as a knowledgeable insider. If there's one lesson to be learned from the past year, it's there is often no need to look for complex explanations when simple individual pride or incompetence fits the bill. Whatever the explanation, officials in both the UK and the US say the Manchester leaks are going to stop. UK officials said on Thursday evening they had resumed sharing information with the US after receiving "fresh assurances" from across the Atlantic. The question is what happens the next time. And the time after that. "At the moment we have a US administration and US intelligence agencies all leaking like sieves, so I'm afraid this is the reason why this has happened," says former UK ambassador to the US Christopher Meyer. "Will it destroy our close co-operation with the Americans? Of course not, because if it didn't exist it would have to be invented. But this is a serious knock. It is a serious dent." Intelligence sharing, British Prime Minister Theresa May said, is built on trust. Trust typically doesn't vanish in an instant, it erodes slowly, imperceptibly. And then it's gone. The Mangalyaan robotic probe, one of the cheapest interplanetary missions ever, has been studying the Red Planet's atmosphere. Over the year, it has also taken some detailed pictures of Mars' geography. We look back at some of the main highlights of Mangalyaan's year in orbit. Perhaps one of Mangalyaan's biggest triumphs was that it changed the way we thought about space travel. This is a mission that was budgeted at 4.5bn rupees ($74m), which, by Western standards, is staggeringly cheap. The American Maven orbiter that arrived at the Red Planet a few days before the Indian probe cost almost 10 times as much. $74m Cost of India's Mangalyaan mission $671m Cost of Nasa's Maven Mars mission Launched on 5 Nov 2013 Weighs 1,350kg Closest point to Mars 366km "For sure, people costs are less in this populous nation, and the scientists and engineers working on any space mission are always the largest part of the ticket price", said BBC's Jonathan Amos. "Home-grown components and technologies have also been prioritised over expensive foreign imports. But, in addition, India has been careful to do things simply." Google got in on the Mars orbiter celebrations by releasing a Mangalyaan themed doodle to mark the satellite's first month in orbit around Mars. Google has done a number of doodles on a variety of Indian subjects, including marking the country's Independence and Republic Days, the festivals of Holi and Diwali, the cricket World Cup and the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. The Mars Orbiter Twitter feed has truly been one of the highlights of its year long orbit around the red planet. It has a great sense of humour and frequently engages in friendly banter with other satellites and probes. However its relationship with the Mars Curiosity rover is probably the most special. The Curiosity rover in fact, was one of the first to tweet at Mangalyaan soon after it was placed into orbit, and the two seem to have kept in touch. The Siding Spring comet which had a near brush with Mars in October 2014, also came uncomfortably close to Mangalyaan. India's space agency had to reposition the satellite so that it would not be destroyed by the comet. Scientists had voiced concern, saying that the comet's massive dust trail as a result of the flyby could potentially cause damage to the sensitive electronic equipment aboard the probe. But as we saw from the tweet below, there was absolutely no harm done. The orbiter has sent some stunning pictures back to India, which have been released by the ISRO space agency. Here are a few: The government sets a quarterly target for hospitals to see 95% of emergency cases within four hours. A&E waits have been below that level since the end of September. The Department of Health says it recently announced extra support for A&E teams. And officials say there is rising demand for emergency services, with more than a million extra visits to A&E last year when compared to 2010. A Department of Health spokesman said: "The NHS is performing well despite unprecedented demand and hospitals continue to treat the vast majority of people quickly, with around 2,000 more people every day seen within the four-hour target in A&E last year compared to 2010. "Last week we announced extra support to keep services sustainable year-round and in the long-term, we want to reduce demand by looking after people in the community." Andy Burnham MP, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "After a week of worrying reports about full A&E departments, it is clear hospitals in all parts of England are struggling to cope. "Labour has repeatedly warned David Cameron and Jeremy Hunt about the danger of ignoring the warning signs. "They have ignored the problem for far too long and now it is threatening to drag down the NHS this winter." The standard recommends patients should be seen and then admitted to hospital or discharged within four hours of arrival in A&E. It followed the decision by Belfast City Council to stop flying the union flag every day. An Alliance party compromise saw the policy changed to flying the flag on up to 20 designated days only. The office on the Upper Newtownards Road is the base of East Belfast MP Naomi Long. It was closed and police were present. The was violence at Belfast City Hall and in the east of the city after the council changed its flag policy. Eighteen people, including 15 PSNI officers, were hurt after loyalists rioted. Nationalists wanted the flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance party that it would fly on designated days. The vote was 29 to 21, with unionists accusing Sinn Fein, the SDLP and Alliance of attacking their cultural identity. Seoul said all operations at the complex would halt, to stop the North using its investment "to fund its nuclear and missile development". Kaesong is one of the last points of co-operation between the two Koreas and a key source of revenue for Pyongyang. It came as Japan imposed new sanctions against the North following the launch. They include a ban on North Korean vessels coming into port in Japan and on vessels from other countries that have visited the state, The US warned on Tuesday that the North could soon have enough plutonium for nuclear weapons. South Korea, the US, Japan and others see Sunday's rocket launch - ostensibly to put a satellite into space - as cover for a banned test of missile technology.

"All our support and efforts... were taken advantage of by the North to develop its nuclear weapons and missile programmes," the South's Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo told reporters. The announcement came amid reports that the North's military chief, Ri Yong-gil, had been executed on corruption charges. South Korea's state news agency Yonhap quoted unnamed sources saying the general, who was appointed in 2013, had been deemed guilty of corruption and pursuing personal gains. There was no confirmation of the report. Reuters news agency also reported the execution but did not identify its source or how the information had been obtained.

The team was made up of 11 students from two Dungannon schools, the Royal and St Patrick's Academy. The girl who became ill on the mountain was from the Royal School. Members of her group contacted the emergency services and the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team was called to the scene at about 19:15 BST. Martin McMullan from the rescue service said all 11 group members, aged 16 and 17, were quickly found and treated. He said they were "all doing well" and the girl who suffered severe hypothermia has now returned home. The rescue team doctor and the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service were involved in the rescue. Mr McMullan said the teenagers' quick thinking and help for each other prevented a more serious situation. "When you're in the mountains, the conditions are a part of it [and] you're working a little bit harder, you're carrying a rucksack on your back," he said. "There are a lot of different factors that do take their toll on individuals. "The one thing about these guys last night is they did a phenomenal job looking after each other. "If they hadn't behaved in the way they did in terms of getting their entire group into shelter and calling for help, the situation could have been much, much worse." Twenty-three rescuers took part in the operation that ended at 01:10 BST. "It was a reasonably inaccessible location so we did have a big response last night," Mr McMullan said. "When you get to the stage where you may have to stretcher someone out of the mountain, that requires 12 people in itself." Dr David Burnett, principal of Royal School Dungannon, said the young people had done a "brilliant job" when they realised one of the party was in distress. "Seven of the group were able to walk down the mountain with a guide," he said. "The others stayed behind with the girl who had fallen ill." "They weren't casualties but stayed behind with her in the tent until help arrived. The pupil who took ill was stretchered down, and then checked by paramedics. "She did not need hospital treatment, but was reunited with her mother who subsequently took her home." "Having spoken to her family this morning, she is doing well and making a good recovery at home." Dr Burnett also said that the other ten pupils in the group had returned to the Mournes on Tuesday morning to complete their expedition, which is due to finish later. Two other joint groups from the schools also spent the night in the Mournes and were unaware of the incident involving their fellow pupils. Speaking in Brussels, he warned that the EU would not compromise on its insistence that freedom of movement will be a condition for Britain's access to the single market. Mr Tusk will chair meetings of EU leaders negotiating Britain's exit from the 28-member bloc. In a 52%-48% vote in June's referendum Britain decided to leave the EU. Prime Minister Theresa May said last week that the government would trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal negotiations between the UK and EU - by the end of March next year. The process will take up to two years, involving complex debates about issues such as immigration and access to the European single market. In his speech, Mr Tusk mocked a Brexit campaign promise that Britons could "have the EU cake and eat it too" - the idea that the UK might manage to keep trade benefits of EU membership while barring European immigrants and rejecting EU courts' authority. "To all who believe in it, I propose a simple experiment. Buy a cake, eat it, and see if it is still there on the plate. "The brutal truth is that Brexit will be a loss for all of us. There will be no cakes on the table. For anyone. There will be only salt and vinegar." Mr Tusk also suggested that Britain might ultimately decide not to leave the EU "even if today hardly anyone believes in such a possibility". The BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Brussels says this was Donald Tusk raising the alarm. He appears to be deeply concerned about the direction any Brexit talks could be headed, our correspondent adds. However, Mr Tusk again stressed that the choice would be the UK's alone to make whether Brexit "is really in their interest". British officials have so far made no public comments on Mr Tusk's latest statements. A display at the existing gallery has attracted 3,400 visitors since it opened in October - a threefold increase on the same period last year. The borough council wants to relocate the museum and art gallery to a new bigger building. It says the show of local support will help with a Heritage Lottery fund bid. Curator Sophie Cummings, said she was pleased with the number of visitors. "Even if you're not the biggest fan of art, Turner is a name you recognise, and I had a feeling Turner in Swindon would get people excited. "But we've been really, really pleased with the number of people who've come through our doors." Earlier this year, Swindon Borough Council launched a project to relocate the town's museum and art gallery to a new building in the town centre. A spokesman said it would allow more of the collections it owns to be put on display, and have better access and facilities. A bid for £12m will be submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund, which Swindon Borough Council has pledged to match with another £5m if successful. The landscape painter JMW Turner is one of Britain's most celebrated artists. The visiting exhibition, called Turner - Watercolours from the West, has been on display since 15 October. Worle Community School in Weston-super-Mare told parents it would "reconsider" its policy with a view to "banning them completely during the school day". On Monday, two teenagers were arrested after a 15-year-old boy was left with minor injuries. They have been released on bail. The school said staff and pupils had been "shocked" and "saddened" by events. Since April 2007, teachers have had the legal right to confiscate items from pupils but there is no UK government policy about mobile phone use in England with individual schools making their own policy. In a letter to parents, Head Teacher Peter Binding said student safety was a "prime concern" and warned that in future they would "enforce the right" to search pupil's belongings and lockers. He added: "As a consequence of the actions of a minority of students who filmed the incident and posted it online, the school will reconsider its policy towards mobile devices with a view to banning them completely during the school day." A spokesman for the school said: "The school will be looking into our mobile phone policy and will be making a decision after a consultation with the school governors, senior leadership team and local authority." Police have said the 15-year-old boy suffered a "slash injury" during an argument at the school on Monday afternoon. He was treated by paramedics at the school and taken to hospital, but was discharged shortly after. A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of GBH with intent and ABH and a 16-year-old boy for perverting the course of justice, possession of a bladed article and assisting an offender. Both have been bailed until May. Basically, as those vows acknowledge, marriage is tough and it takes two to make a partnership work. When it comes to company mergers it's no different. At the moment there's lots of activity in this area. US drugs giant Pfizer is currently trying to buy AstraZeneca, while French engineering company Alstom is attracting interest from both Siemens and General Electric (GE). So what's the secret to a successful merger? When UK fund manager Newton bought its smaller rival Capital House from RBS in 1995, the experience was so bad it almost led to divorce. Capital House had a different culture, a different way of investing and different views on how to add value for clients. All this led to clashes between the two firms. While the deal was ultimately successful, the difficulty of assimilating it into the group made Newton determined that in the future it would focus on growing its existing operations, rather than making any further acquisitions. "It was a good experience to learn that at that stage, and that we'd just rather go the slow, maybe slightly longer-term, route," says chief executive Helena Morrissey. While Ms Morrissey admits she is "very one-sided" - and mergers in the fund management industry are particularly tricky because each firm typically has its own strong investment philosophy - her experience is not unusual. Many mergers are not profitable, and corporate history is littered with high-profile failures. In 2007, German carmaker Daimler had to sell off a majority stake in US firm Chrysler, which it had merged with almost 10 years earlier, after losses of billions of dollars. Similarly, in 2005 eBay paid $2.6bn (£1.4bn at the time) for Skype, only to sell it four years later for around $2bn saying it had "limited synergies" with the internet phone firm. "In deals and mergers, there's an 80-20 rule - 80% don't work, 20% are spectacular successes," says leadership expert Steve Tappin. But when it comes to corporate marriage, there's more than one way to say "I do". Stefano Pessina, executive chairman of giant pharmacy chain and drugs wholesaler Alliance Boots, has steered the firm through several deals. He led the 2006 merger of Alliance Unichem with High Street chain Boots, and was at the helm in 2012 when US drug chain Walgreens bought a 45% stake in Alliance Boots. Mr Pessina says successful mergers depend on a long courtship and not rushing the relationship. For example, in 2015 Walgreens will have the right to buy the rest of Alliance Boots, three years after the initial deal was struck, giving the executives and employees from both firms time to get used to working together. "A merger is always a shock for the companies. If you have some time, you have the time to develop certain synergies and show that the merger is the right thing to do. When you arrive at the final step the merger is already being consumed," he says. Assuming a firm has found the right partner, which already shares similar values and is willing to give up its own individual culture to create a shared one, Mr Pessina believes that acquisitions or mergers will create more value than a stock exchange flotation. Throughout his career, Mr Pessina has sought to grow by merging with larger firms. Alliance Unichem itself was a result of a merger, between the pharmaceutical wholesale group he'd inherited from his father and rival firm Unichem. "The other company which is bigger can leverage what we have done and so we create value. Having a wider platform we can see other opportunities, other services and so we start the cycle again." But securing the right partner is just one part of the equation. Once a deal has been struck, a chief executive has to act decisively and quickly to ensure its success, says former Diageo chief executive Paul Walsh. The global drinks firm has grown rapidly via acquisitions, including some big ones under his leadership such as wine and spirits brand Seagram, and Mr Walsh says the experience has taught him that in the corporate world there is no such thing as a honeymoon. "When you acquire something, you take control. You've got a very clear view, because you've been analysing the assets on where the value drivers will be. Prosecute them with rigour." Mr Walsh advises changing staff rapidly if they do not fit with the firm's aims on how to drive the business forward, and also believes the acquirer bringing in its own finance team always pays off. But mergers are not always the right way for a company to grow. Mr Walsh says a lot of Diageo's acquisitions were driven by its desire to get particular brands, or access new distribution networks for its drinks. In cases where it felt it was better to build its own brand, it did so, despite it taking longer. "It does take more patience, but as long as your investors understand the impact that's fine," he says. As in marriage, it's best to know why you're getting together in the first place, and it lessens the risk of a high-profile divorce. This feature is based on interviews by leadership expert Steve Tappin for the BBC's CEO Guru series, produced by Neil Koenig and Evy Barry. Paul Brain dived into Hooe Lake in Plymouth, Devon, after the car came off the road on Thursday afternoon. An elderly man and woman were pulled from the car by emergency services but were later pronounced dead. Mr Brain said he was at his partner's house near the estuary when he saw a wave and heard a passerby "screaming". He said he undressed and swam out to the car with a hammer he was given by a local security company. "I couldn't get deep enough to get to the front of the car", he said. "I couldn't open any doors and I tried to smash the windows. I didn't realise how deep it was." Mr Brain said he struggled for 10 minutes until a policeman managed to pull the male driver out through the front window of the car, which had turned onto its roof. The woman was only released from the car after fire crews arrived. Mr Brain said both passengers were unconscious when they came out and he "didn't give them much hope". "She'd been in there [the water] nearly half an hour," he said. Police officers tried to resuscitate the man before he and the woman were taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. Mr Brain said he initially worried he had not done enough but said the photograph of him had helped him realise "that's all I could have done". Asked how he coped with the situation, Mr Brain said: "My 22 years in the Army prepared me to deal with unpleasant experiences. I just did what I felt I had to do." Robert Smith, 67, attacked the boys, who were aged between nine and 12, while managing the team in the Easterhouse area between 1978 and 1987. He was caught after one victim contacted police, who traced others. At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Smith, from Maryhill, was ordered he be supervised for 11 months following his release. He was also placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years. Jailing him, Sheriff John McCormick told Smith: "You involved yourself in a football team and used that opportunity to perpetrate a series of serious sexual offences against young boys over a number of years." Smith was convicted of three charges of using lewd and libidinous practices towards the schoolboys on various occasions over the nine year period until 1987. The court heard that one victim, who is now an adult, had told a friend about the abuse before losing touch with her. In 2012 when they met again, she urged him to report his ordeal to police. Their investigation uncovered two other victims. The men, now aged between 43 and 47, each gave evidence at Smith's trial. They recalled being abused in the school where the football team gathered, given special treatment and taken aside from the others. Smith denied the charges and claimed the victims had colluded and given false evidence. It later emerged that he had a previous lewd and libidinous practices conviction from 1968 - 10 years before becoming involved with the football team. The Independent Police Complaints Commission examined how cases were handled by the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire forces. It said the complaints, mostly of racial discrimination, were "poorly handled" from beginning to end. Complaints about officers by the public were often not believed, the IPCC said. None of the 170 such complaints looked at by the IPCC was upheld, although 94 were investigated. By contrast, in the 32 cases where police officers made allegations of discrimination against their colleagues, half of the complaints were upheld. Overall, the three forces upheld between 11% and 13% of complaint allegations from the public, the report said. It found that too many complaints from the public were resolved locally, without a formal investigation, when it was not appropriate to do so. IPCC chair Dame Anne Owers said: "Our findings are stark - generally complaints of discrimination made by members of the public are poorly handled from beginning to end. "It is vital that police forces deal effectively with allegations of discrimination." West Yorkshire Deputy Chief Constable Dee Collins said the force was "very disappointed with the suggestion that we are 'failing at every stage'." But she added: "We recognise there are some improvements to be made and we are well advanced with that work, significant changes having taken place since the time this data was collected." Greater Manchester's Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said: "This is a hard-hitting report, but I welcome it because it is vital that there's confidence in the process. "I've been concerned about this since before I was elected Police and Crime Commissioner and it has been a priority for me to make real changes." Deputy Chief Constable Dave Thompson from West Midlands Police highlighted variations in practice across the three forces mentioned. He added: "We are constantly striving to improve our service to the public and will review the report in detail. We take complaints very seriously and do not tolerate discriminatory behaviour." The IPCC said 60% of local resolutions and 44% of investigations across the three forces did not meet basic standards. In cases handled at local level rather than by professional standards procedures, this rose to two-thirds and a half respectively. The report blamed many of the complaints on a lack of up-to-date training in diversity issues. "The police in these force areas do not appear to have a good understanding of the diverse communities they serve," it said. More than a million patient records were shared with DeepMind to build an app to alert doctors about patients at risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The authors said that it was "inexcusable" patients were not told how their data would be used. Google's DeepMind said that the report contained "major errors". It told the BBC that it was commissioning its own analysis and rebuttal, which the authors said they welcomed. When the deal between London's Royal Free Hospital and DeepMind became public in February 2016, some three months after the data started to be collected, it caused controversy over the amount of patient information being shared and the lack of public consultation. Hal Hodson, a former New Scientist journalist, and co-author Julia Powles, a Cambridge University academic, said there are still big questions to be answered about the tie-up. "Why DeepMind, an artificial intelligence company wholly owned by data mining and advertising giant Google, was a good choice to build an app that functions primarily as a data-integrating user interface, has never been adequately explained by either DeepMind or Royal Free," they wrote. The app contains no artificial intelligence although DeepMind has said that it was hoping to incorporate AI techniques to create smarter alerts in future. The criticisms in the paper included: In response, DeepMind and the Royal Free issued a joint statement: "This paper completely misrepresents the reality of how the NHS uses technology to process data. "It makes a series of significant factual and analytical errors, assuming that this kind of data agreement is unprecedented. "In fact, every trust in the country uses IT systems to help clinicians access current and historic information about patients, under the same legal and regulatory regime." The authors invited both to respond in an "open forum", adding: "The obvious fact is that we care about Google and DeepMind getting into healthcare because it is a break from the norm. "These companies are entirely different to specialised health IT and infrastructure providers, and the sweeping analogy does a disservice to the public." The NHS does have information-sharing agreements with a range of third-party firms, but this is the first such deal with a major US tech firm. DeepMind's initial assertion that the NHS had 1,500 other agreements with third-party organisations that process patient data has since been described by the NHS as "inaccurate". There is no central database on how many there are, the BBC was told. The app is currently the subject of an investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office while the National Data Guardian, tasked with safeguarding health data, is also looking at it. In a statement, the ICO told the BBC: "Our investigation into the sharing of patient information between the Royal Free NHS Trust and Deep Mind is close to conclusion. "We continue to work with the National Data Guardian and have been in regular contact with the Royal Free and Deep Mind who have provided information about the development of the Streams app. "This has been subject to detailed review as part of our investigation. It's the responsibility of businesses and organisations to comply with data protection law." The National Data Guardian added: "Our consideration of this matter has required a thorough approach in which the NDG and her panel have kept patients' rightful expectations of both good care and confidentiality at the forefront of discussions. "The NDG has provided a view on this matter to assist the ICO's investigation and looks forward to this being concluded as soon as practicable." DeepMind has been at pains to make clear that none of the data collected for the app has been shared with parent company Google. AKI is a serious condition, linked to 40,000 deaths a year in the UK and leading to a range of other health issues from minor kidney dysfunction to the need for dialysis and transplant. In February, DeepMind published details about how the app was improving patient care. It revealed that more than 26 doctors and nurses at the Royal Free are now using Streams and that each day it alerts them to 11 patients at risk of AKI. Sarah Stanley, a consultant nurse who leads the patients at risk and resuscitation team, said: "Streams is saving us a substantial amount of time every day. The instant alerts about some of our most vulnerable patients mean we can get the right care to the right patients much more quickly." DeepMind has acknowledged that it could have done better in the way it engaged with patients whose data was being used and, on the back of the criticism, agreed to set up patient forums. It published a strategy on future patient engagement which opens by saying: "Outcomes are better when patients and clinicians make decisions together." Pte Conor McPherson, 24, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, was shot during night live-firing training in Otterburn, Northumberland. Berwick Conservative MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan said she was "deeply concerned" by the number of injuries. Defence Minister Mark Lancaster said "reporting of injuries is improving". More exercises were also taking place at the site, he said. The 2015-16 figure is more than double each of the previous two year's totals, 54 and 58 respectively. There were 18 injuries recorded in 2011-12. Mr Lancaster admitted the latest figures "may not include all injuries, as some minor injuries may have been treated immediately and not reported". Ms Trevelyan, who has Otterburn in her constituency, uncovered the figures via a written question to the department. "Following the tragic death of a soldier during a live firing exercise last month, I was concerned to find out whether we are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of our armed forces when they are training on the Otterburn Ranges," she said. Pte McPherson, from The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, died from a "serious head wound". Otterburn Training Area is the second largest live firing range in the country and has been used for military training since 1911. In April the Unite union warned that firing ranges had become "death traps" since the role of lookout wardens, who prevent people walking into the line of fire, had been withdrawn. The MoD said the Defence Safety Authority was investigating Pte McPherson's death. The party has also held Chorley, Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, Hyndburn and Rossendale councils. Their majority in Blackburn with Darwen was reduced from 32 to 30. The Conservatives remain in charge at Ribble Valley and South Ribble, but no single party continues to have overall control in Pendle.

The International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) decided not to hold the February event in Russia after more details emerged of alleged state-sponsored doping in the country. Senior Russian politician Valentina Matviyenko says Sochi may have a claim for "material and moral damages". "We could file a lawsuit on reimbursement of expenses," she added. Matviyenko, who is speaker in the upper chamber in Russia's parliament, also echoed the Kremlin's claim that the decision was based on politics, rather than sport. "One cannot agree with such a decision on the basis of any rules, norms of law. These are dirty political games against Russia," she said in comments reported by the Interfax news agency. The IBSF said that it made the decision to move the event so to focus "on sport rather than the accusations and discussion - whether justified or not." Russia is accused of running a doping programme that implicated more than 1,000 athletes at major international competitions between 2011 and 2015. The claims are contained in a report by Canadian law professor and sports lawyer Dr Richard McLaren, which adds detail to his initial findings that were published in July. According to McLaren, London 2012 was "corrupted on an unprecedented scale." It is understood a number of German venues have offered to host the event, along with the Swiss town of St Moritz. Additional reporting by BBC Monitoring The 21-year-old, who began his career with Bastia in France, joined Europa Point in Gibraltar's second tier last summer. Dumbarton manager Stevie Aitken told his club website: "Sebastian gives me another option in the striking department. "I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do for us." Osei-Obengo had impressed in a development league game against Greenock Morton in which he scored. The Dutch rail operator will run ScotRail services from April after securing the franchise in October. It will take over from Aberdeen-based FirstGroup, which has run most Scottish rail services for the past 10 years. Representatives from Abellio met with members of Highlands and Islands transport body Hitrans in Inverness earlier. A feasibility study into how best to upgrade the station is to be completed by March of next year. The station was constructed and added to during the 1800s. The pitched iron and glass roof over the concourse was built in 1876. Automatic ticket gates similar to those at stations in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, were installed last year. Hitrans vice-chairman Thomas Prag welcomed Abellio's commitment to put "significant investment" into the station. Until now, images shared via the site could only be uploaded in a square format. Disney, maker of the new Star Wars film, has already taken advantage of yesterday's change to upload a landscape-orientated teaser video. Instagram recently announced plans to carry more advertising. "It turns out that nearly one in five photos or videos people post aren't in the square format, and we know that it hasn't been easy to share this type of content on Instagram," the firm said in a blog post.. "Friends get cut out of group shots, the subject of your video feels cramped and you can't capture the Golden Gate Bridge from end to end." The move will also appeal to advertisers, said analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "It boils down to giving advertisers and users more options," she told Reuters. "You want people to be able to see more of your ad. It's something advertisers are definitely going to be interested in." Instagram announced in June that it would be opening up its platform to all potential advertisers in the coming months, via its parent company Facebook. "There are more than two million advertisers who actively use Facebook to market their business and we want to leverage the best of Facebook's infrastructure for buying, managing and measuring the success of ads on Instagram," the firm wrote on its business blog. Jamie Allen put the hosts in front from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute, sending Elliot Justham the wrong way, but the lead was short-lived as three goals in eight minutes from the visitors turned the match around. Jordan Maguire-Drew scored with a fine free-kick, Robbie Cundy diverted Fejiri Okenabirhie's cross into his own net three minutes later, before Okenabirhie got on the scoresheet. Corey Whitely's penalty made the result even more emphatic in the 77th minute after Cundy handled the ball in the box , and was sent off, as Dagenham stretched their winning run to five games.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up. Craig Stillwell and Carla Andrews, whose daughter Effie was taken into foster care, say they "just want to get on with their lives". The court case was stopped after it emerged Effie has a rare medical condition which causes "easy bruising". Buckinghamshire County Council said it cannot comment on individual cases. The couple, both 23, from Aylesbury, said they have not received an apology after they lost their child for almost eight months and were taken to court charged with causing grievous bodily harm. Mr Stillwell said council workers have twice been round their home since Effie was returned to them. "I want to move on with Effie without having any more interference," Miss Andrews said. "I want to shut the door and tell them to leave us alone to get on with our lives because we have proved our innocence." She said she thought their ordeal was over, but "they are still trying to get involved and they want to continually come and assess us". Mr Stillwell was arrested at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and accused of causing grievous bodily harm after Effie collapsed last August, aged five months. Effie's parents were permitted to see her just three times a week for 90 minutes at a contact centre. The county council took the case to the family court, seeking to put the little girl into local authority care. However, the authority's case was withdrawn when it was discovered Effie had the rare medical condition Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV. In a statement, the county council said it "cannot comment on individual cases", but added its decisions in social care cases "draw evidence from multiple sources" and are made following assessment. It was Nadal's first title in almost a year and he became the first man in the Open era to win the same event 10 times. The 30-year-old is aiming for a 10th French Open title as well next month. He won eight Monte Carlo titles in a row from 2005 to 2012 but then lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2013 final. He won the title again last year and then added the Barcelona crown a week later, yet had not lifted a trophy since. He had lost three finals so far this year, including January's Australian Open against Roger Federer. "It has been an amazing week on one of the most important events on the Tour. I played well here, which helps me a lot to start the claycourt season with confidence," Nadal said. The ex-singer is accused of assaulting boys aged 14 to 16 between 1970 and 1986 in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. Mr King, 72, of Bayswater, west London, appeared at Southwark Crown Court for the hearing under his real name of Kenneth George King. The Genesis producer was released on conditional bail until 22 January. The allegations are linked to the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, and Mr King, who also produced songs for 10cc and the Bay City Rollers, must not contact any prosecution witnesses. Mr King's trial date was set for 11 June 2018. Comments ranged from anguish and shock to an outpouring of support and concern for the injured Liu. The athlete, who won gold in Athens in 2004, crashed at the first hurdle but got up and hopped to the finish line. For many, it was a tragic repeat of the 2008 Beijing Games when he pulled out with an Achilles injury. "Ah Liu Xiang, my heart is broken," said one user of the Twitter-like Sina Weibo website. News of Liu's fall dominated the front pages of many newspapers. Many lauded him as a hero despite his failure to progress to the final - unlike the general reaction to his withdrawal in Beijing four years ago, which spawned a slew of criticism. "Liu Xiang fell down, but he will be our hero for ever," said one netizen, echoing the feelings of many who watched his dramatic exit. As Liu struggled down the track, he stopped at the last hurdle and kissed it, prompting the China Daily newspaper to dub that his ''last kiss''. He was then embraced by fellow competitors and helped off the track. ''He may not have cleared any of the hurdles, but he crossed the most difficult hurdle of his life,'' the official People's Daily newspaper wrote, paying tribute to Liu's persistence. Liu Xiang left the track in a wheelchair, after an Olympic build-up that had also been overshadowed by injury. He left London for Leverkusen after pulling out of the Diamond League London Grand Prix 110m hurdles final on 13 July - his 29th birthday - due to muscle pain. Reports said that Liu's right heel was protected with tape when he entered the stadium on Tuesday. After the race, Feng Shuyong, the head of China's track team told a press conference that Liu had ruptured his Achilles tendon. "What Liu Xiang did today reflected the true Olympics spirit," state media quoted him as saying. "Winning is not so important, participation is what matters." Liu Yandong, a top Communist Party official, had called Liu to ''express sympathy and concern'', state media reported. The official told Liu that ''his spirit, will and attitude have deeply moved and highly inspired the whole nation", said the Xinhua news agency. Some netizens questioned why Liu, who is one of China's top sporting icons, was competing despite his injuries. "Liu Xiang was carrying too heavy a burden. Chinese sports officials know nothing about the Olympic spirit. For them, athletes are just machines and pawns," one comment said. Among the outpouring of support, there were a handful of negative comments and allegations against the athlete, who is easily one of China's best-known faces, with a slew of product endorsements. Some lambasted him for failing to do his duty by his country. But by and large, the Chinese people's reactions reflected a level of maturity and compassion within society, said a commentary in the Chinese edition of the Global Times newspaper. ''Thank you, Liu Xiang, for all that you've given us," it said. The Scotsman says four teenage boys have been detained by police following the incident. According to the Scottish Sun, the dead woman had been walking home from a shift at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. The Daily Record claims the car involved in the crash was being driven by a 15-year-old. The vehicle, a Ford Ka, was being followed by police at the time, reports the Scottish Daily Mail.

Finn McManus was presented with custom-made boxing gloves during RTÉ's The Late Late Show on Friday night. The Dublin boy had written to the 24-year-old after he controversially lost a quarter-final bantamweight bout against Russia's Vladimir Nikitin. As well as words of comfort, Finn also offered Conlan his school medal. The message was sent direct to Conlan via Facebook and then shared widely when it was posted on Twitter by Finn's uncle. At the time, Conlan responded on Twitter, describing it as a "very warming message" and promising a gift for his young fan. The London 2012 bronze medallist and reigning world champion certainly came good on his promise and gave Finn boxing gloves bearing both their names. After watching Conlon's defeat in Rio, Finn asked his mother if he could donate his medal to him, and got his big sister, nine-year-old Lily, to write the letter on his behalf. Their mother then sent a photo of Finn's medal and Lily's handwritten letter by private message to Conlan on Facebook. However, she said a "social media storm" began after her brother shared her message on Twitter. Conlan made headlines himself at Rio 2016 after his expletive-ridden tirade against the judges who gave decided against him at the Olympics. His controversial defeat completed a disappointing Games for Ireland's eight-strong boxing team. The fighter was expected to turn professional after Rio and he confirmed this to Late Show host Ryan Tubridy. He said he was currently in negotiations with promoters.

The 38-year-old was restrained outside Murphy's Roadhouse on the Esplanade in Paignton on Wednesday night, as police responded to reports of a disturbance between two men and door staff. He was taken to Torbay District Hospital, where he died on Saturday. The matter had already been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission before the man's death. Assistant Chief Constable Russ Middleton said: "Our thoughts and condolences are with the family, and we are providing support at this difficult time. " Three men, aged 54, 43 and 35, who were arrested on suspicion of affray in connection with the altercation outside the Roadhouse, have been bailed pending further inquiries. ACC Middleton added: "The Force's Major Crime Investigation Team has already commenced an investigation into this incident and that will continue. "We will also co-operate fully with the IPCC separate independent investigation into police involvement in the incident."

The former TV star denies six indecent assaults and one sexual assault on victims aged 12-42, from 1971 to 2004. His defence lawyer said a "media frenzy" had left Mr Harris "vulnerable to people making accusations against him" in a closing speech on Wednesday. The prosecution earlier told Southwark Crown Court that Mr Harris, 86, had a "propensity" for assaulting women. Among the accusations are that Mr Harris inappropriately touched girls on separate occasions when asked to sign autographs. In relation to one allegation, Mr Harris had faced alternative charges of indecent assault or sexual assault. The jury has been instructed to consider a sexual assault charge in relation to this allegation. The former entertainer sat in the dock for the hearing on Wednesday, having followed the early stages of the trial via a video-link from Stafford Prison. Judge Alistair McCreath said it was important he attend the close of the trial. Witnesses were hidden from Mr Harris's view by screens. Mr Harris's defence said he was innocent of not only these latest charges but also of indecent assaults for which he had been convicted in 2014. Mr Harris is currently serving a prison sentence for indecent assault on four females. Stephen Vullo QC said the jury in that trial had "got it wrong". Closing the defence case, Mr Vullo said: "It's difficult to imagine a harder or faster or deeper fall from grace than that suffered by Rolf Harris." He blamed a "media frenzy" for making Harris "vulnerable to people making accusations against him". In the prosecution's closing speech on Tuesday, Jonathan Rees QC said Mr Harris was "very good at getting away with it.". He told the jury that Mr Harris fed his "appetite" by groping women and girls in public places. Mr Rees said: "It is striking that so many of the allegations involve Mr Harris getting away with a sly, quick grope right under the noses of people who did not notice." He argued that Mr Harris's previous conviction showed he "has a propensity and appetite for indecently assaulting females". After a goalless first half, Bird picked up a loose ball just before the hour and shot beyond Callum Preston to put the Glovers ahead. West Bromwich Albion loanee Campbell showed top-flight class when he curled in his first league goal from 25 yards. Lee Barnard punished Yeovil's defensive hesitation for a late consolation. Francois Zoko and Shaun Jeffers both missed chances, making the afternoon more nervy for the hosts, who consigned Crawley to a fifth consecutive away defeat. Crawley Town boss Mark Yates told BBC Surrey: Media playback is not supported on this device "Very disappointing. We changed our formation to be more solid and still have a threat, and it didn't work and we weren't as good with the ball as we would have wanted. "We looked like we played extra-time like they did on Tuesday night and you have to give them credit. "We shot ourselves in the foot with the goals we conceded. "With Yeovil fighting for their lives we must look at them and do the same. We don't want to get dragged into it but you've got to know coming to places like this you've got to roll your sleeves up." The Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, herself a Leeds-based mother, said parents in the south spur on their children. The Commissioner's Growing up North research on children's prospects in the north will be launched on Tuesday. A north-south attainment gap opens up in secondary school, says the study. Some of the findings were positive for northern children - with better well-being at age 11 - and in some areas, for example the north-east, children doing very well, with 56% reaching the expected standard at 11, only slightly behind inner London on 57%, say the researchers. However, the study found that by the time they become adults, a gap in attainment and outcomes emerges between children in London and the south-east and their counterparts in English counties north of an imaginary line drawn between the mouth of the river Mersey and the Wash. Overall, the research finds little difference between the academic achievements of primary school children on either side of the divide - but this does not continue into secondary school, with a pronounced gap by 16. Speaking to The Times newspaper ahead of the launch, Ms Longfield said: "As northern parents, we need to be aware of these inconsistencies and variations in secondary schools and push hard for our schools to show how they are improving and helping our children to achieve. "One of the real drivers of improvements of schools in London has been the demand for good school results from parents and children. There is much we northern parents can learn about this parent power." Ms Longfield told the newspaper that although the "tiger" parents of London and the south-east had been mocked for their emphasis on extra homework and music lessons, there was something to be learned from the way they demanded more from teachers and schools for their children. Highlights of the research include: The research heralds a Growing Up North project which will investigate why some children in the north fall behind. At the launch of the project, the Commissioner is expected to call for the regeneration under way in the north of England to focus on reshaping the prospects of all children in the region to put them on a par with those in the south. A north-south divide, particularly in secondary schools, was highlighted by Ofsted in its annual report on Thursday last week. In the report, England's chief inspector of schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said poorly performing schools in the north and the East Midlands continued to fuel the sense of a divided nation. Patrick Harvie will say a surging membership could see at least eight Green MSPs voted in next May. That would be a record high and represent one MSP per regional list. Mr Harvie will tell the conference at Glasgow's SECC the party offers a clear choice on environmental issues. In his keynote speech, he is expected to say: "Holyrood needs a bold voice to ensure we close the wealth gap, build strong local economies, restore truly progressive taxation and start meeting our world-leading climate change targets. Scottish Greens are trusted, credible and our time is now." The Scottish Greens have accused the Scottish government of sitting on the fence with the moratorium on fracking and underground coal gasification. Mr Harvie said his party was unique in offering a clear "no" on these key environmental concerns. He will tell the conference, which is expected to attract about 700 members over the weekend, that parties do not have to be in government to be relevant. Mr Harvie will say: "We will campaign on our track record and our vision of a fairer, greener Scotland. We've been at Holyrood since the start and we've got transformational ideas onto the agenda. "We've helped cut fuel bills by pushing for energy efficiency programmes, we've empowered local communities with the Climate Challenge Fund, we're giving football fans the prospect of ownership of their club, and we're a step closer to gaining rent controls to protect tenants from spiralling costs. "And on unconventional gas extraction, we have relentlessly pursued ministers to protect our communities. Scottish Greens should be proud of the role we have played and we can offer voters in May a clear choice of opposing extreme energy industries." The NASUWT says supply teachers are being denied entitlements on pay, pensions and working conditions. The union calling for urgent action to regulate all supply agencies and introduce national standards for the employment of supply teachers. The Department for Education said there were "clear laws" to ensure agencies treated their staff‎ fairly. "Supply teachers form a valued part of the teaching profession. The flexibility they offer is important in allowing schools to meet their teaching needs and we trust schools to use them appropriately. There are clear laws in place to ensure supply agencies treat their staff‎ fairly." In a union questionnaire, many supply teachers spoke of a lack of respect and no support with professional training. Of the 942 supply teachers who took part in an NASUWT survey about supply work, nearly two thirds (65%) said they were not paid at a level that recognised their experience. The union also found: The survey also found some teachers turned to supply teaching in the hope of escaping the demands placed on contracted roles. Of those teachers leaving contracted roles for supply work more than two thirds (69%) were hoping to achieve a better work life balance, 62% wanted to escape the excessive workload, and four in 10 (40%) want to achieve greater flexibility. "I find that the biggest problem I encounter in schools on a daily basis is the attitude of pupils to supply teachers. "Very often I experience a total lack of respect as a teacher from pupils, this consequently leads to continual disruption of the lesson, rude and insolent attitudes from the pupils, answering back, refusal to comply with instructions and on occasions foul language, this list of pupils behaviour is not exhaustive! "This makes me feel totally demoralised, distressed and at the end of the school day mentally exhausted." "As an NQT [newly qualified teacher] I have little or no support from the larger supply agencies in terms of mentors or CPD [continuing professional development], I also have no support in a school and the school is never made aware that I am an NQT. "When I have asked to not be sent to certain schools due to behaviour being out of control or bullying the agencies often withhold work for a few days or make me feel uncomfortable in requesting support or to not be sent to a certain school. "The agency staff rarely have experience of teaching and do not understand the issues I bring to them. If I do get CPD I must take a day unpaid, as well as pay for any courses I wish to attend." "I am very concerned that I am unable to contribute to the Teacher's Pension scheme as a supply teacher, which seriously undermines my future retirement." "I regularly feel like I am thrown in at the deep end, even with years of experience and subject knowledge. I meet so many amazing teachers along the way who chose to do supply for a work-life balance. "We accept poor pay and poor treatment because it's a last ditch attempt to do what we love, without enduring the impossible workload and inflexible 'non-family friendly' demands put upon us." A spokesman from the DfE said supply teachers form a "valued part" of the teaching profession. "The flexibility they offer is important in allowing schools to meet their teaching needs and we trust schools to use them appropriately. There are clear laws in place to ensure supply agencies treat their staff‎ fairly." But NASUWT general secretary Chris Keates said supply teaching was a tough job, made harder by exploitation and poor employment practices. "Supply teachers are a vital resource for schools especially in the light of the current recruitment and retention crisis," she said. "Yet the poor treatment of supply teachers is unfortunately entirely representative of the unacceptable employment practices which are found in too many workplaces across the country and which the government fails to address. "It is therefore a sad indictment of the pressures on teachers in schools that increasing numbers are choosing supply teaching to seek relief from the excessive workload, lack of work/life balance and denial of flexible working opportunities." Victory over the pool leaders will see the Scottish side go through as group winners, while a losing bonus point would see them qualify as runners-up. But defeat by seven points or more, plus a bonus-point win for London Irish against Agen, would see Irish qualify. "Our approach is we need to win; that is it," Solomons told BBC Scotland. ""We have got no thoughts of that [going through with a losing bonus point]. In order to get the result, we have to perform. Other permutations are of no consequence to us because they are factors that are outside our control." Having reached the final of the Challenge Cup last season, reaching the knock-out stages for a second year would maintain the momentum at the capital club, with Edinburgh currently third in the Pro 12 and challenging for a play-off place. "We have put in a lot of hard work," said Solomons. "I certainly had the vision for the club, and I had to get my feet under the table for the first few months and formulate that. "The club had to be re-built, there was consensus about that. What is exciting now is to see the strong green shoots of what we are trying to achieve starting to come through." Having seen a youthful line-up secure a bonus-point win against Agen last Friday, Solomons intends to field a "strong side" - including returning Scotland prop Alasdair Dickinson, after a six-game absence with a calf injury - to try to secure qualification at the Stade des Alpes on Saturday. "Our goal in the Pro12 is to make the top six while our goal for the Challenge Cup is to make the play-offs and then to go on from there," the coach added. "You have to respect both competitions. I think that is important. We are capable of multi-tasking. "It will be a tough game, there is no question about that. They are a good side and are at home. We have a long trip ahead of us but everyone is looking forward to it. They know the importance of the game." The latest instalment, Fable Legends, had been in development at Lionhead Studios for more than two years and was due to be released in the spring. Work on it will now cease, the firm said in a blog post. The studio was founded by Peter Molyneux in 1996 and was bought by Microsoft ten years later. Press Play Studios in Denmark, which created Max: the Curse of Brotherhood and Kalimba, will also be closed. "These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly," wrote Hanno Lemke, general manager of Microsoft Studios Europe. "We have nothing but heartfelt thanks for the members of Lionhead and Press Play for their contributions to Xbox and gaming," he added. James Batchelor, editor of Develop magazine, told the BBC the closure of Lionhead would be a blow for the UK video gaming industry. "It's a fantastic studio," he said. "One that really shows a proper British sense of humour in its games - lots of talented people work there." But he said that deciding to halt a game like Fable Legends after so long in development is not that uncommon. "It happens - sometimes for some reason [a studio] can't make it the hit they want it to be. That's the risk of development, particularly when you openly announce a game and raise expectations." A year ago Fable Legends was being described by Microsoft as its 'hero title' for gaming on Windows 10. There'd be full cross-platform support, Xbox Live integration, and cross-play. But that's come to a very abrupt end with the shuttering of Lionhead Studios. And games studios never close; they are, in the language of the industry, shuttered. It's an ignominious end for a studio with a 20 year history but Lionhead always seemed to have a reach that exceeded its grasp. That was probably down to the influence of one of its founders, Peter Molyneux who left in 2012 Molyneux is one of the most interesting, and divisive, figures in the UK's games industry. Depending on your point of view he was either a visionary who helped create wonderful, innovative games or a showman whose ambitions never quite came to fruition. What is certain is that in the final assessment Lionhead will be seen as a great seedbed for British talent and that this is a sad moment for the UK industry. However, we'll just have to hope that the adage that two studios spring up when one closes holds true. The news soon began to trend on social media. "So sad to hear about Lionhead - that's another little bit of gaming history gone," tweeted Eurogamer's Aoife Wilson. "Lionhead studios have shaped my life and I'm really not prepared for them to close," added Thom_AFC. "This is a sad day for Lionhead, the Guildford Studio cluster and for the wider UK video games industry," said Dr Richard Wilson, chief executive of video games industry body Tiga. "Lionhead's talented development workforce has made some hugely successful and iconic games over the last 20 years including Black & White and the Fable franchise. "We hope that the Lionhead team will find new work with other developers or set up new studios to repeat Lionhead's successes." Both players have joined the Premier League newcomers for undisclosed fees and on three-year deals, which have an option for a further year. Gudmundsson was part of the Iceland side that knocked England out of Euro 2016 with a shock 2-1 victory. The winger provided 11 assists last season but was part of a Charlton side relegated from the Championship. "The atmosphere around the club is fantastic," he said. "Playing against the team last season I saw just how good the club was." The duo are Burnley manager Sean Dyche's first summer signings. He said he had been impressed by the "quality" Gudmundsson showed during a "tough time" for Charlton. "It helps to see a player in the European Championship with that kind of company and he did well there," he added. "It was one we all agreed would be a good acquisition for the club." Dyche said Pope was a "young keeper who we think has got a lot of promise". He added: "He's a good keeper now but we think he can mature and get even better keeper during his time here."

LoveLetters creator Dr David Link received the inaugural Tony Sale award for his conservation work. The award was created in memory of Tony Sale, who led UK computer conservation efforts until his death in 2011. "I'm extremely moved to step into the footsteps of a colossus such as Tony Sale," said Dr Link after receiving his award. Tony Sale was the brilliant engineer who rebuilt the Colossus computer, established The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park and founded the Computer Conservation Society. The original LoveLetters program was written by pioneering software engineer Christopher Strachey in the early 1950s. Mr Strachey, along with Alan Turing, was one of the first to write software for the Manchester Mark I - one of the first stored-program computers. Jewel Darling, you are my covetous infatuation. My lovely infatuation. You are my precious sympathy. My precious desire impatiently adores your fancy. You are my avid fancy. The Ferranti Mark I was based on the Manchester machine and was the first commercially available general purpose computer. Typically the machine was used to perform complex mathematics but Mr Strachey put it to more whimsical use by writing a program that generated texts that were intended to arouse emotion. It composed the letters by following grammatical rules and using words randomly plucked from a small lexicon. Dr Link said recreating Strachey's program was a formidable task because modern programming techniques are so different to those done in the early days of the computer industry. The notations used to illustrate written records of the software's code were very hard to decipher, said Dr Link. "At times," he said, "it seemed almost impossible to remotely understand how the program worked." Jewel moppet. You are my loving rapture. My heart breathlessly adores your desire. You are my beautiful adoration. My precious charm. My sympathy impatiently tempts your yearning. Dr Link wrote an emulator that mimicked the operation of the Ferranti machine to test his recreation of the LoveLetters code. Unfortunately it did not run because a key part of the program, that printed the Love Letters, was missing. As there was no trace of this in the original records Mr Strachey kept of his work, Dr Link wrote a new chunk of code to print the letters and get the program running. Soon after, the original turned up and proved to be utterly different to the one Dr Link wrote. The final stage of the project was the building of a console that resembled the control panel of the original Ferranti. This console running the LoveLetters code was turned into an art installation so gallery visitors can get it to compose letters on their behalf. The sheer volume of insects reduced visibility, and turned the road surface of the bridge over the Susquehanna River, in Lancaster County, into a treacherous, slippery mess. Piles of mayflies up to 2ft (0.6m) deep were seen the morning after. Immature mayflies live in water, before hatching as adults to mate in swarms. The bridge was closed late on Saturday, reopening early on Sunday, police said. "It was like a blizzard in June, but instead of snow, it was mayflies," Wrightsville Fire Chief Chad Livelsberger told LancasterOnline. "They were getting in our mouth. We had to close our eyes. We had to swat them away. Even when we got back, it felt like bugs were crawling in you." Spectacular swarms of mayflies are not uncommon - last year one in Wisconsin became so big it appeared on local radar as rain. Iolo Williams said squirrels, mice and birds were putting on weight due to increases in acorn crops, fungi and other food sources. But mild, wet weather could also see higher death rates in animals like otters, which leave rivers to search for food on land and end up in roads. "It's been a very odd, unusual year," he said. It comes as fatter squirrels have been spotted in Cardiff - but Mr Williams said it was not unhealthy for them to put on weight because they would self-regulate. "In some areas it's been a good acorn year, which helps [squirrels] a lot, in other areas it hasn't. "There were a lot in Bute Park [in Cardiff]. I was in Llandovery [in Carmarthenshire] in October and there were a lot of acorns on four or five trees but very little on others, so it's quite localised." "Squirrels will eat anything, they are omnivores, so I would imagine grey squirrels unfortunately will do very well this winter." Mr Williams said mild weather would generally benefit all land animals including mice, voles, foxes and badgers especially young ones. "Young animals and birds tend to die if there's severe frost or snow, because they are inexperienced. The more experienced animals will know." But very high water levels can make fishing conditions difficult for water species like otters. "Often they come out of the river and on to land, and try and cross roads, because they don't like going under bridges," he explained. "So there are more otter deaths on the roads." Tore Sinding Bekkedal, 24, survived the Utoeya massacre by hiding in a toilet cubicle and then a store room. When he emerged, the sights that met him were unimaginable. Breivik had shot and killed 67 of Mr Bekkedal's fellow Labour Party youth members. Two others had died fleeing. Many others were seriously wounded. On Sunday, Mr Bekkedal will be back at Utoeya with other survivors to commemorate those who died on that day one year ago. "It's so outside any concept that you have that you struggle to find out how to react to it - emotionally, logically, there is no set response," Mr Bekkedal told the BBC. "If a relative dies, you understand how that works and there's a grieving process. "But what do you do when suddenly a whole chunk of your social circle is taken away?" Today, Mr Bekkedal works as a computer engineer with Norway's national broadcaster NRK, and still enjoys spending time working with the Labour youth organisation. Yet the past twelve months have been anything but easy. "The last year has been basically a struggle to get back to where I was, in terms of having a job, and all that kind of stuff," he said. "The physical reactions started dying down about four or five months in. "I got my concentration and memory back about eight or nine months afterwards. "So now I can get back to doing my job, and not just surviving but living a life. It's been an incredible test." Another way Mr Bekkedal has dealt with what happened is through photography. He was designated the 2011 Utoeya camp's unofficial photographer, and took thousands of pictures before the terror began. "I tend to enjoy taking pictures that capture a mood or a situation," he said. Most of his photographs from the island last year show young people full of life. He chose to publish some of the pictures in Norway, and also agreed for the BBC to publish some of them here. For him it has been a way of reminding people of what Utoeya and the summer camp has been about for many years - not terror, but youthful enthusiasm and happiness. "It was a good way to see the good memories, the ones that we want to think about from the people we lost," Mr Bekkedal said. "But at the same time there's an extraordinary bitterness about not getting any more moments with the same people. "So it was a tremendously difficult job going through the pictures." Late in the evening on 22 July 2011, Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said people should answer the attack on their country's democracy not with anger, but with more democracy and more openness. Utoeya has been home to Labour party youth camps since the 1950s. The Labour youth organisation says it aims to stage summer camps there also in future. Yet some survivors and some of the bereaved now say the island is a place of mourning, and there should be respect for those who were killed there. Political debate and social gatherings, including concerts and discos, would not be a way of showing that respect, they argue. Others say failing to turn Utoeya back into what it was before 22 July 2011 would be tantamount to giving in to the terrorist who tried to destroy it and everything the summer camp stood for. They want to return with summer camps as early as possible in defiance of Anders Breivik, who said he wanted to destroy the next generation of Labour politicians and defeat their ideas of a multicultural society. Mr Bekkedal feels the Norwegian people to a large degree have stood that test. "The most heartening result for me was the increases not only in the membership of my own party, but all the parties and especially in the youth organisations," he said. "Meetings which would usually have five or six people - there are now 30, and we have to find bigger rooms. "That's an absolutely wonderful feeling and it gives me great hope for the future. "But of course the Islamophobia is still there. These people still have these beliefs, but to a greater extent people get angry, people respond." The Labour youth movement has maintained all along it wishes to return to Utoeya where it has staged summer camps since the 1950s. Many of today's senior Labour politicians spent summers there in their youth, including the current prime minister. Mr Bekkedal feels it is important to "take the island back" by continuing to use it as a venue for political summer camps. "Utoeya was attacked because it was a threat, and the proper response to an attack like that is to maintain and try to increase that threat to people like him [Breivik]," said Mr Bekkedal. "There are some people who want to take it slow, but I am way over on the other end of the scale. I'll pitch a tent there as soon as practically possible." Yet on the first anniversary there will be no tents, and none of the customary laughter and happiness which Labour youth members had come to associate with the island before last year's attack. Instead there will be speeches by the prime minister and other senior politicians, and time for quiet reflection for the bereaved and survivors. "I'm starting the day by visiting the grave of one of my friends with a few of my other friends," said Mr Bekkedal. "From there we will go to the ceremony at Utoeya. "A ceremony in cases like this is appropriate I believe, and it's going to be an emotional moment I'm sure. "But it will be nice to be back on the island." The plane began the stage on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio, travelling 1,044km to reach the East Coast waypoint. The journey is the 13th leg in a quest that started in Abu Dhabi last year to circumnavigate the globe on zero fuel. Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard was in the pilot's seat of the 72m-wingspan, electric plane. The aircraft took off from Dayton International Airport at 04:02 local time (08:02 GMT). It landed in Lehigh Valley at 20:49 local time (00:49 GMT, Thursday). The achievement positions the project to make its entry into New York in the coming days. The "Big Apple" is set to be the base for Solar Impulse as it waits for a weather window to fly the Atlantic. Deciding when to cross the ocean will be a tricky decision. The slow-moving, ultra-light plane needs benign winds, and the team concedes that the right conditions may not present themselves for several weeks. Wednesday's flight to Lehigh Valley was postponed for 24 hours for checks on the aircraft following a power problem in its mobile hangar. The air fans that hold up the inflatable structure briefly failed on Tuesday, allowing the canvas to collapse and touch the plane's fuselage and the wings. Once engineers had concluded that Solar Impulse had not been affected in any way, they cleared the mission to resume. The hop to New York will likely occur next week, after the Memorial Day weekend. Although it is a short distance from Lehigh Valley to John F Kennedy Airport, the time taken to complete the leg will be extended by two factors. One is the desire to fly around the Statue of Liberty to take some pictures; the other will be the wait for air traffic controllers to find a landing slot at one of the busiest airports in the world. "It's going to be a long flight - more than 26 hours. But it's going to be extraordinary because it will be so symbolic to be at [the Statue of Liberty]," said Andre Borschberg, who will pilot the stage. "I was just visiting the Wright Brothers museum here in Dayton, and one of the flights he did - I think it was Orville - was the first airplane flight over the Statue of Liberty. He didn't have to deal with co-ordinating the traffic because he knew there was nobody else, no other airplane flying at the time!" The project has made excellent progress since renewing its global challenge a month ago in Hawaii. From Kalaeloa in the central Pacific, it flew to Mountain View, California; and from there it reached across to Phoenix, Arizona, then to Tulsa, Oklahoma, before landing in Dayton on Saturday. In 2015, Solar Impulse flew eight stages from Abu Dhabi to Kalaeloa, including a remarkable 4-day, 21-hour leg over the western Pacific - the longest (time duration) flight in aviation history. It was damage to its batteries on that stage, however, that forced Solar Impulse to lay up for 10 months, for repairs and to wait for optimum daylight length in the northern hemisphere to return.

Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania (US) to New York (US) Unfortunately we won't be seeing the pair on our TV screens, but they are reuniting for three audio episodes. Part of Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures - Volume 2, the episodes will be released in November. Exec producer Jason Haigh-Ellery said: "Getting David and Billie back together was definitely on my bucket list." Tennant, who portrayed the Doctor on screen from 2005 until 2009, returned in the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor, with Matt Smith and Sir John Hurt in 2013. He also worked on Volume 1 of the audio dramas with Catherine Tate last year, but this is Piper's debut for Big Finish's audio books. Piper portrayed Rose in 2005 and 2006, returning for a number of stories in 2008. She also appeared in The Day of the Doctor. The first new audio episode will be Infamy of the Zaross by John Dorney, in which an alien invasion of Earth isn't quite what it appears to be. In the second adventure, Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adams, the Doctor and Rose arrive in Slough in 1791 and encounter Chevalier D'Eon, an enigmatic ex-spy who has lived his life as a woman. Finally, in Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton, the Tardis arrives on a vast frozen food asteroid in deep space. The episode sees the return of the Doctor's old enemies, the Ice Warriors. Nicholas Briggs, who voices the Daleks for both TV and for the audio dramas, said: "It was such a special time for me, working with Billie and David on the TV show and it is such an honour to revisit it with them on audio." In other Doctor Who news, Michelle Gomez has revealed that she's leaving the Doctor Who TV series. Gomez has played villain Missy since 2014 and said she is leaving because the show's star Peter Capaldi and head writer Steven Moffat are going at Christmas. "My pals are going so I'm going," Gomez told RadioTimes.com. "Everybody's leaving, so I'm going too. I mean, what would I do without Peter and Steven? Who would I be? "Nah, it's done now. It's over. It's the end of a chapter." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents. If you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. Azarenka, 27, who plays Britain's Heather Watson in round three on Friday, has been speaking this week about the challenges of juggling a professional tennis career with motherhood. Kim Clijsters, who won the 2009 US Open 18 months after the arrival of daughter Jada, is one of only three women to have won Grand Slam titles after becoming a mother. "For a first-time mum, travelling on the road full-time is hard - but I am very glad I did it," Clijsters told BBC Sport. "It was a big adventure for us as a family and I would not have changed anything." There has been plenty of baby-talk at SW19, with Luxembourg player Mandy Minella competing while four and a half months pregnant and seven-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams absent because she is expecting. Like Azarenka, Williams intends to return to the Tour after giving birth - but what will change for her? From sleeping babies in walk-in wardrobes to emptying the mini-bar, Clijsters tells BBC Sport what it is like to be a tennis mum. Azarenka is playing only her second tournament since Leo was born in December. She is bidding to emulate Clijsters, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong by winning a Grand Slam title as a mother - Goolagong, who won at SW19 in 1980, is the only mother to have won a Wimbledon singles title in the tournament's 140-year history. Clijsters: "My mum cooked every day for us when I was young. She was there all the time and that was the vision I had for Jada too. "I had to adjust, of course, because at home I was changing nappies and preparing food myself as soon as she woke up, but I still felt like we had it all organised when we went on the road. "My husband Brian was always there and we also travelled with a nanny who took care of Jada. It meant Brian and I had our own time as well and could even go out to dinner occasionally. That was important. "We just tried to balance things like that and have the same routine, and it worked really well for her, and for us. "As a player, you don't normally have much order to your life but I wanted to structure things for Jada. I didn't want different people to be taking care of her at different tournaments. "It was the same with food, although she eats almost everything. We travelled the world with a portable steamer-blender and I must know every organic store near all of the tournaments I played at. "That was the first thing we did - we would ask for a fridge to be added to our hotel room or we would empty the mini-bar out so we could stock up on vegetables and fish, or whatever she had to eat. "Jada was potty-trained in a hotel room too. All the little things like that happened while we were travelling the world. "She is nine now and will adjust to anything, and I think that is something to do what she was doing at such a young age. Clijsters took daughter Jada for a walk in her buggy in New York's Central Park on the morning of the 2009 US Open final - she beat Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki on Arthur Ashe Stadium later that day, and successfully defended her title the following year. Clijsters: "With Jada, it was so hectic in the beginning for us with the media at tournaments that I just tried to keep her away from it. "When I won the US Open in 2009, she hardly ever came out to Flushing Meadows. She came for the final and was able to sit in one of the boxes upstairs, and that was it. "That day I had delayed her nap time a little bit, so she was able to stay up a bit later for the final. "Sometimes things happen and you just have to juggle your routine. I have three children now and it is still the same. There are always different challenges but that is the great thing about being a mum. "For me I love that everything is not perfect. When we lie in bed or sit on the couch, my husband and I can talk and laugh sometimes and say 'what happened today? It was chaos all over'. "It was the same on the tour too. Sometimes we would stay in hotels and would not know how the rooms would be divided - we would ask for an extra room, but it would be on a different floor. "We did not just throw money at the problem because that was not the way I was brought up - we tried to figure it out ourselves. Sometimes Jada even slept in a walk-in closet because there was nowhere else for her. "She was a pretty good sleeper, which really helped around my matches. "The one thing I was worried about was her getting sick because it is easy to deal with that at home but if you are in, say, Thailand I would not know where to go or who to ask. "But it all went pretty smoothly in the end. She needed some medication from time to time but we have doctors and physios with us on tour so in that sense we were lucky because we had some of the best medical staff and facilities around." Clijsters now has three children - Jada, nine, three-year-old Jack and Blake, who is eight months old. Clijsters: "My husband would be there to watch my matches but if I had to practise, it would just be with my coach and trainer. "Brian would do something with Jada so their bond is very strong because they have been together so much - it is the same as I had with my father, and I love seeing it with them too. "But sometimes, as a mother, I felt guilty for leaving Jada behind and me going off to tennis. "I know I was lucky because I was probably still seeing more of her than most mums but I also wanted to spend time with her wherever we were. "I remember when she went to the zoo and held a koala bear before the Australian Open. There were a lot of times like that, when I wanted to be a part of it. "So it was hard but I still wanted to keep my tennis separate. It was my work, and then her free time was different. "Then I could come back to the hotel room to come back to her, and leave my working life behind. "It was hard sometimes but you make it work. I spoke to Victoria on the Wimbledon practice courts this week and we talked about what we did when we didn't have kids on tour. "What do you do? You just lay around - you rest in your bed, you read a book or you watch a movie, or you catch some tennis on TV. "That it is so useless - life now is far more meaningful. "I don't want to sound disrespectful to the sport but becoming a parent gives you a totally different perspective and, at the end of the day, nobody cares about whatever you did in sport. "It is your family and kids that are important - and bringing them up the right way. No trophy even comes close." Clijsters, 34, retired in 2012 and now runs a tennis academy in her hometown of Bree in Belgium. She is working as a co-commentator for BBC Sport at Wimbledon 2017 and also working with Belgian player Yanina Wickmayer, who lost in round two on Thursday. Clijsters: "I love being here but I cannot watch this much tennis when I am in Belgium. I have a tennis school, and I am busy with the kids. "My husband is American so I have to deal with all the school stuff because it is in Flemish and he can't help. When I was in Paris for the French Open I noticed there was some slacking off in Jada's homework - it was down to me to put that right! "Brian coaches basketball and his season has just finished so he is not around that much, so everything from when we wake up until about 8.30pm when the boys go to sleep falls on me. "That is fine because it is very satisfying knowing that everything went well. It is draining but when they are in bed I am like 'aaah, done - now I have to clean the kitchen'." Do Labour activists agree with him that overall numbers are not a problem? Steve Triner, Croydon Net migration is probably too high but that should not distract from the bigger issue of under-investment. I suspect this is a pretty common view. I think immigration is too high in relation to the investment in public services but whether it is too high out of context is more difficult to answer. I don't think there is a huge benefit to huge numbers of relatively unskilled people coming into the country. It must have some impact on wages and there are issues of community cohesion. But it is wrong to blame issues around the health service and education on migrants. Migrants pay more into the system in tax than they take out in public services. Adam Higgins, Swansea We obviously have to recognise there is dissatisfaction with the amount of immigration in the UK. I don't have anything against current levels personally, but we do have to understand the electorate as a whole do seem to have concerns which do need to be recognised. It is good policy to find extra funds for communities that are under stress because of immigration, but whether or not Jeremy Corbyn can communicate that effectively while then saying he is happy with the current levels - will the public believe that? People will hear he is happy with things as they are now and they may not hear about the extra funding. We know left-wing parties tend to be pro-immigration in their stance but they do have to win votes from the wider electorate. With Brexit we have seen a shift in attitudes or an appearance in the shift of attitudes. They have always been there to be honest. Rachel Mullen, Gateshead I would not necessarily agree levels are too high, they just need to be managed more effectively and in the right way. You can't discriminate against people from different parts of the world because that is not equitable and would pit different groups against each other. You have to remember the economic benefits migrants bring. The NHS would collapse, for a start, if you didn't have the migration we have. It is important we are continuing to welcome people from different parts of the world because they bring different skills and contribute to society in different ways. Brexit has brought the worst out of a small minority of people. It is only a small minority of people who wanted to break free from Europe on the basis of immigration - not on the basis of other factors such as the amount of money we pay to the EU. The press picked up on that hard line and that is what has stolen the limelight from other factors round Brexit - for instance what it will mean for jobs, particularly around the north-south divide. Andy Dams, Sefton The issue of immigration has always been about what kind of country we are. Britain has always been a country that has welcomed the lost, estranged and battle-hardened from lots of other countries. I think frequently immigration is used as a cover for various kinds of discrimination and prejudice. If you accept that as your starting point, you then start to look at whatever is unsustainable in our communities by what anyone might define as too much immigration. If our communities are not sustainable because of some directly-related link to a burden of incomers, I don't think we have any choice to look at that - but I don't think we have the evidence that is happening. In the post-Brexit world, we are faced with the new reality that a central part of that vote was about immigration and Labour has to grapple with that reality. You can do that by pulling up the drawbridge or by recognising the contribution incomers have made to our society, economy and culture and reaching out to the fearful and making them feel less fearful. Robert Parker, Ashford Many migrants are excellent trades people who bring excellent skills and quality service delivery to the construction sector in the UK, which has regrettably suffered from a lack of investment in apprentices. It is good to hear Jeremy talking about investing in young people and the construction industry. If you were to take foreign nationals out of the health service and public services in general, it would have an adverse effect - it would be a similar effect in the construction sector if the massive amount of Eastern European workers were to leave that sector because they bring excellent skills. However, off the pitch a six-strong line-up - namely the half-a-dozen major global brands who are Fifa's top commercial partners - will also be hoping to grab some good results. For football's governing body Fifa it is already a winning situation on the sponsorship front, where revenues are estimated to be up by 80% on the 2006 tournament in Germany. That estimated $1bn (£700m) in sponsorship revenues should more than make up for the drop in corporate hospitality sales at the South Africa World Cup. This year's event, the first ever in Africa, has seen the previous top 15 sponsors trimmed down to six premier commercial Fifa "partners", with a second tier of eight "sponsors", and a third rung of five local firms. "After the 2006 World Cup, there was criticism of the structure, with 15 main sponsors all jostling for position to put themselves ahead of the other 14," says Nigel Currie, director of sports sponsorship and marketing agency Brand Rapport. "Since then, Fifa has identified the six main sponsorship categories it wanted to push, as it created a limited number of elite partners." Mr Currie says that, on average, each of the top partners now pays £75m to be associated with one World Cup tournament. "I think Fifa have taken their sponsorship on to a whole new level, with something closer to the Champions League model of a small number of sponsors," says Mr Currie. "Fifa realised their top six categories were so competitive that they could greatly increase the money they were asking for. "In the top tier there was a natural rival in each category, for example Coke and Pepsi, Adidas and Nike, and Visa and Mastercard." Underneath these six firms are the second tier of firms, called "sponsors" as opposed to "partners", paying about £20m per tournament. Mr Currie says the biggest development in Fifa's World Cup sponsorship, apart from the compression of the top partners list to just six names, has been the emergence of four relatively unknown names in the second tier. They are Seara from Brazil - one of the largest food companies in the world, Indian IT consultants Mahindra Satyam, Chinese solar energy firm Yingli, and South African mobile phone service provider MTN. "These are completely new names from outside the usual axis and Europe, the US, and Japan and Korea," Mr Currie points out. "It shows the World Cup is reaching more and more commercial territories. "It normally would have been easy to take a guess at the names of the companies backing a World Cup, but not this time." He said the development could signal a rise of new firms into the top ranks of global sports sponsorship. However, it hasn't all been plain sailing on the sponsor front since 2006. From 1990 to 2006, Mastercard had been the World Cup credit card sponsor and believed it had first option to extend the deal to cover 2010 and 2014. It took a number of court appearances and Fifa had to pay Mastercard $90m to settle the wrangle, which finally saw Visa installed as a top partner. And last week the World Cancer Research Foundation called the continuing deals with "unhealthy" sponsors Coca Cola, McDonald's and Budweiser as an "own goal" for Fifa. However, Mr Currie says that by moving Coca Cola - a sponsor since 1986 - and McDonald's - a sponsor since 1994 - into the second sponsor tier, Fifa may be trying to minimise future criticism from pressure groups. Meanwhile, for the biggest major sporting event in Africa, one which dwarves the 1995 rugby union World Cup in South Africa, there is also a tier of five national suppliers. These are not Fifa sponsorships but local partnerships with the event, with the quintet paying £100m in total to support the World Cup. In addition, each of the 32 competing teams will have a number of commercial contracts in place, not to mention the number of unofficial or "ambush" marketing campaigns. "The World Cup is the event that gets to 200-plus countries around the world, and an estimated 26 billion accumulative audience - there is nothing like it," says Mr Currie. "It takes the world's number one sport, and adds the passion and excitement associated with a World Cup. "It grabs the global interest, even among people who do not usually follow football. All that is ideal for sponsors." He says other global events such as Formula 1 motor racing or even the Olympics do not offer the same opportunities to sponsors. "There are not many global events of this size. It is not just about putting up a billboard, it is about creating worldwide exposure. "I think that the key thing is that these sorts of companies that are partnering Fifa have all learned how to use major global events to grow business. "Every can or bottle of Coca Cola has the logo on it. For Coca-Cola it is a chance to say 'we are the number one brand and we are backing the number one event'. "Visa has sophisticated promotional campaigns around the World Cup." And he says that while some of the firms were more business-to-business focused and not necessarily looking to win billions of new customers, for the main six sponsors it was a chance to confirm their global footprint while also activating programmes in local markets. "They are in the spotlight of this major event, having their name and logo recognised around the world, even by people who do do not speak your language," he says. "If you are a company that has to be in every country in the world, or aspires to be, then there is no greater vehicle than the World Cup." The Commons Work and Pensions Committee said details sent out about when people will get state pensions and how much they are worth were "inadequate" and "confusing". It warns this particularly applies to women, whose pension age is changing. The DWP said it was working hard to help people understand the issues. The state pension age will reach 66 by October 2020, with women's pension age being raised to match that of men's. Previously, women's state pension age was 60, with men's set later at 65. The Work and Pensions Select Committee has prepared an interim report on the New State Pension (NSP), which replaces the basic and additional state pensions from April. MPs said they had done this because the situation was too urgent to wait for the full inquiry to be completed. The report said there were "widespread concerns" that women had been unaware of increases in their state pension age dating back to 1995. One woman told the MPs she had been sent a letter by the Pension Service in 2005 that did not mention her retirement age. In 2012, two years before her 60th birthday, which she thought was her pension age, she received another letter saying she was not entitled to draw that until she turned 66. The report said: "At a crucial time of reform to the state pension and the state pension age, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) statements are insufficiently clear. "This lack of clarity increases the chances that people misunderstand the value of their state pension or the age from which they will receive it. In turn, this increases the chances that they will not best plan for retirement." The committee said statements should be fitted on to a single page, with key messages highlighted in boxes for greater ease of understanding. They should list the current value of the state pension built up alongside the age at which people will be eligible to receive the income, and how they can build up retirement funds. The committee's chairman, Frank Field, said: "Successive governments have bungled the fundamental duty to tell women of these major changes to when they can expect their state pension. "Retirement expectations have been smashed as some women have only been told a couple of years before the date they expected to retire that no such retirement pension is now available." A DWP spokesman said: "We are committed to ensuring that the public understands the positive changes being made to the state pension. We've already done a huge amount - including TV, radio and print advertising - and this activity will continue over the coming months and years." They added that the DWP was working closely with the select committee on its current inquiry. More information on the state pension is available here. Aberdeen North MP Frank Doran said the remark, made in a Commons debate, was "an error of judgement". But Education Secretary Nicky Morgan - who is also the women's and equalities minister - said his comments were "outrageous and deeply offensive". UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted: "Just imagine for a split second how the media would react if I said this." During a Commons debate on fisheries, Mr Doran said he could not remember if there had ever been a female fisheries minister. Sheryll Murray, the Conservative MP for South East Cornwall - whose husband was killed in a fishing accident in 2011 - intervened to say there had not "but we have had former female secretaries of state". Mr Doran acknowledged she was right, but said there was "no dedicated fisheries minister". To audible gasps, he added: "I'm not sure it is a job for a woman, although the honourable lady might reach that." Hearing the reaction around the chamber, Mr Doran added: "That was not a sexist remark. I know the fishing industry very well." But several hours after the exchange, Mr Doran - who was a lawyer before entering Parliament - apologised. "It was an error of judgement which does not represent my view or the Labour Party's" he said. Mrs Murray's fisherman husband was killed when his clothes became caught in a netting winch on his boat. Ms Morgan said Mr Doran's comments "seriously undermine our work to raise aspiration among young women and girls". She added: "He should apologise immediately. Labour are very good at throwing stones but they are too quick to ignore blatant sexism within their own ranks - Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman cannot ignore this." Mr Farage said Mr Doran, who is stepping down at May's election, had been given "an easy ride". West Yorkshire Trading Standards (WYTSS) said it found more than 400 items past their use-by date at the Real Junk Food Project's (RJFP) warehouse in Pudsey, Leeds. Project founder Adam Smith said it had made "food unfit for human consumption available to the general public" since 2013 without complaint. WYTSS said it was unable to comment. More stories from across Yorkshire The letter states 444 items, which were a cumulative total of 6,345 days past the use-by dates, were discovered at the charity's premises on the Grangefield Industrial Estate. It said Mr Smith was invited to attend a "formal recorded interview under caution" to discuss offences which may have been committed under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013. Mr Smith said: "[The letter] was claiming that we were making food unfit for human consumption available to the general public, which is true, because that's what we've done since day one when we opened three-and-a-half years ago. "We've got 127 cafes in seven countries across the world. We've fed over one million people worldwide with food that's expired and still to this day no-one has ever been sick. So we can prove that we can make this food safe for human consumption. "I'm quite positive about it. Just because it's the law doesn't make it right. We can prove that the food is safe for human consumption. "We're not going to stop serving food to people that's expired because it will then go to waste and that's the reason that we're here." He said he hoped the meeting would help create a debate around the legislation David Strover, from WYTSS said: "I am sure you will appreciate that WYTSS is unable to comment on the detail of an ongoing investigation except to say that the Proprietor of RJFP will be able to put forward information as part of that investigation process. "That will help inform the decision on what, if any, action will be taken." Mark Jones, solicitor and retail specialist, said the charity may find it difficult to contest any case brought against it. He said: "If you pass a use-by date, the starting point is that the food is unsafe and the law expressly says that. If they have been using food which is past its 'use-by' date RJFP will struggle to find a defence. "The law is European law implemented by domestic legislation and is not something that can be sidestepped. "If RJFP have been selling food past its use-by date unlawfully, the extent to which they have actively engaged in this practice will determine the outcome of any prosecution; that could be a fine if it's significant or even a prison sentence. "One thing that is likely to influence trading standards is the nature of the business. This is not a situation where you have an individual seeking to make vast commercial profit by selling out-of-date food, it's a charitable organisation seeking to reduce food waste which it seems may have fallen foul of technical food regulations." The machine, at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, is one of only two purpose-built neonatal MRI scanners in the world. At present, ultrasound is normally used to scan the brains of newborns. Prof Paul Griffiths, of the University of Sheffield, said MRI was better at showing the structures of the brain and abnormalities more clearly. So far about 40 babies have been imaged in the MRI scanner, which was built by GE Healthcare with funding by the Wellcome Trust. One of them, Alice-Rose, was born at 24 weeks and had two bleeds in the brain. Her parents, Shaun and Rachael Westbrook, said the MRI scan was very helpful. Shaun told me: "It's a much crisper image and a lot easier to understand than the ultrasound." Rachael added: "It's been a rollercoaster since Alice-Rose was born on 6 November: not everything was fully formed, and she still weighs only 2lb 13oz (1.28kg). "The MRI was reassuring as it meant you got a better look at her brain." Ultrasound of the brain is possible in newborn babies only because the bones in their skull are not yet fused. The sound waves can travel through the two fontanelles - the soft spots between the bones. Prof Griffiths said: "Ultrasound is cheap, portable and convenient, but the position of the fontanelles means there are some parts of the brain which cannot be viewed. "MRI is able to show all of the brain and the surrounding anatomy, making the images easier to explain to parents. "From a diagnostic point, the big advantage is that MRI is able to show a wider range of brain abnormalities, in particular those which result from a lack of oxygen or blood supply." MRI scans are rarely performed on severely premature babies because the risks involved in transferring and handling a sick infant can outweigh the benefits. Prof Griffiths said: "MRI machines are huge, heavy objects which are sited in the basement or ground floor of hospitals, whereas maternity units are usually higher up, or in a completely different building, so it can mean a complicated journey to get a baby to and from the scanner." Evelina Children's Hospital in London has a full-size MRI scanner within the neonatal intensive care unit. The compact baby MRI machine at the Royal Hallamshire is not much bigger than a washing machine and just metres away from the neonatal intensive care unit, meaning that specialist staff are on hand in case of problems. The concept for a dedicated neonatal scanner was originally developed more than a decade ago by Prof Griffiths and Prof Martin Paley, of the University of Sheffield. Two prototype 3 Tesla neonatal MRIs were eventually built - the other is in Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts - although it is no longer in use. Neither machine has regulatory approval for clinical use, and both remain purely for research. Prof Griffiths said the next step would be to do a trial in premature babies to show definitively that MRI produces a better diagnosis and whether it altered the clinical management of children. It is not known how much a neonatal MRI machine would cost, should the system eventually get commercialised, but full-size scanners are typically priced at several hundred thousand pounds. Cincinnati Children's Hospital has a 1.5 Tesla neonatal MRI scanner that was adapted from adult orthopaedic use. It would "immediately investigate this case" along with US experts. Saudi Arabia earlier denied allegations from the rebel Houthi-run government that the coalition was responsible. The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan. The Saudi-led coalition said in a statement: "The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with the Joint Incidents Assessment Team in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations." It referred to "reports about the regrettable and painful bombing" in Sanaa, before adding: "The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians." The US said it had launched an "immediate review" of its already-reduced support for the coalition. White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said US co-operation with Saudi Arabia was "not a blank cheque". He said that while the US was focused on achieving an end to the conflict in Yemen, Washington was "prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with US principles, values and interests". Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the attack was an act of "genocide". UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, condemned Saturday's strikes on the funeral gathering as a "horrific attack". He said that aid workers who arrived at the scene had been "shocked and outraged". The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags. The ICRC's Rima Kamal told the BBC "several air strikes" had hit the venue attended by hundreds of civilians and damage to the buildings was extensive. The Saudi-led coalition is backing the internationally-recognised government of Yemen. Thousands of civilians have been killed since the war began in 2014. Dosho, 21, drew with Russia's Vorobyova in the final, but won on countback.

It is part of a project to create an online atlas of around 5,000 of these Iron Age monuments. Prehistory enthusiasts are being asked to identify and record features such as ramparts, ditches and entrances. Prof Gary Lock, of Oxford University, said: "We want to shed new light on why they were created and how they were used." Despite their large numbers there has been little academic work on hill forts, how they were used and how they varied across Britain and Ireland, the researchers say. Prof Lock, who has studied and excavated a number of the forts in England, said that despite their name archaeological evidence suggests they were not primarily used for military purposes. "We have found pottery, metalwork and evidence of domestic activities like spinning and weaving, also of agriculture, crops like wheat and barley and of keeping pigs, sheep and cattle," he told BBC News. Researchers believe they may have been meeting places for religious festivals or market days. The oldest hill forts are in Ireland and Wales and are up to 3,000 years old. Many were abandoned after the Romans arrived in Britain, but in areas that the Romans did not occupy they were used for longer. The research team want information not only on well-preserved forts but also on sites where only crop marks indicate their existence. The idea is to build a free online database. "We are hoping that local archaeology societies will get involved," said Prof Lock. "Rather than going to a hill fort on your own, it would be better, with a group of people, to talk about what you are looking at, which should make it easier to identify the various details," he said. Dr Jon Murden, director of the Dorset museum in Dorchester, which is owned and run by the county's natural history and archaeological society, told BBC News: "We would love to be involved. "There are at least 50 hill forts to explore and understand on the South Dorset Ridgeway alone." Volunteers will be able to feed information on their local hill fort into an online form on the Atlas of Hillforts project website from Monday. "We are keen to see what the citizen science approach may reveal," said Prof Ian Ralston, of Edinburgh University, the project co-director. "We hope that the public, including archaeological societies, will get behind this project as it should lead to the discovery of new sites and new information about sites that are considered to be well known. We expect the results of this project to change our vision of these iconic monuments." The four-year project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The maps will be freely available to the public, searchable by region and linked to Google Earth to show the hillforts in the context of the landscape. Sixteen new galleries take visitors on a journey through the wonders of nature, the cultures of the world and through to science and discovery. More than 8,000 objects will be on display in the new area, 80% for the first time in generations. The newly refurbished museum opens its doors in Edinburgh on Friday. The three-year programme has seen the original interior restored and storage areas turned into public space, making it one of the UK's largest museums. It means the whole museum, situated in Chambers Street in the Old Town, will have 20,000 objects across 36 galleries. Exhibits range from a life-sized skeleton cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex to specimens collected by Charles Darwin and 3,000-year-old mummies. The project has been jointly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Scottish government and private donations. Sir Angus Grossart, chairman of the National Museums Scotland's board of trustees, said: "The reopening of the National Museum of Scotland, on time and within budget is a tremendous achievement as importantly it allows us to liberate the strengths of our great collections and mobilise their great potential for dynamic development. "Our collections tell great stories about the world, how Scots saw that world, and the disproportionate impact they had upon it. "The intellectual and collecting impact of the Scottish diaspora has been profound. "It is an inspiring story which has captured the imagination of our many supporters who have helped us achieve our aspirations and to whom we are profoundly grateful." Working with Scottish architect Gareth Hoskins and exhibition designer Ralph Appelbaum, National Museums Scotland has also restored Victorian architecture, created new galleries, a major gallery to host international exhibitions, a three-storey learning centre and a new street-level stone-vaulted entrance hall. Glass elevators carry visitors from the entrance hall to the Grand Gallery, housing the UK's single largest museum installation, the Window on the World: a four-storey, 18-metre (59ft) high display of more than 800 objects. Dr Gordon Rintoul, National Museums Scotland director, said: "This is a proud moment in the history of a great museum, the climax of a once-in-a-lifetime transformation through which we have rediscovered our exceptional collections, and breathed new life into a beautiful building. "The result is a new National Museum of Scotland, a place where the cultures of Scotland and the world meet, and the arts and sciences connect." The alleged incident happened in Cumbernauld on 21 July. The boy's injuries were said to be serious but not life-threatening, BBC Scotland understands. The matter was referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. Pirc said it would investigate what took place and report back in due course. Experts have said the fall is a direct result of police budget cuts. The Forensic Science Service (FSS) at Huntingdon said cuts could lead to failed investigations and miscarriages of justice. Police say the use of forensic services has reduced for financial and other reasons but deny falling standards. The FSS is used by police forces in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk. Some are carrying out forensic work themselves or are screening evidence to send what they believe are the best samples for analysis. The average number of samples sent to laboratories in the past year is down by 23%, the FSS said. Last month, Crime Reduction Minister James Brokenshire said advice from the Association of Chief Police Officers, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and others suggested that the UK forensics market would contract from £170m in 2009 towards about £110m by 2015. In addition, police forces have been bringing forensic work in-house, in order to make cost savings. FSS scientist and spokesman for the Prospect union, John Page said the issue of cost is never far from police officers' minds. "The question that is often raised is how much is it going to cost," Mr Page said. "In cases involving assaults, rapes and murders, submissions are not as extensive as they used to be. "Also, submissions aren't necessarily all going to the same provider so it's creating a mish-mash service for the criminal justice system. "It may well be that I go to a crime scene and choose some stains to DNA profile. Those stains may go to a different provider for analysis and I never see the results." Forensic scientists are also concerned that police are increasingly carrying out in-house forensic work which is, they say, currently not of the standard of outside laboratories. They are worried that police are pre-screening crime scene material themselves before choosing what to submit for analysis. Roger Blackmore, a private sector forensic scientist from Cambridgeshire-based Hayward Associates, said: "In the vast majority of cases the police will probably be right, they can reduce the amount of work they undertake and they will still get the same results. "But where they have had to skimp on examination or items submitted for examination they may actually miss evidence. "There are possibilities for miscarriages of justice, or that the police won't obtain the correct or the maximum amount of evidence." Suffolk Police said financial pressures have forced it to cut back on speculative DNA testing in crimes such as assaults, burglaries, thefts and criminal damage. A spokesman said: "The number of submissions of speculative DNA samples from undetected volume crime has reduced this year. "This is in response to the financial pressures currently experienced by the police service. "Notwithstanding this, the submission of samples is prioritised according to the seriousness of the crime and the potential of DNA samples to assist in its detection." Essex Police said: "Over the past year Essex Police has reassessed how DNA samples are selected for submission to forensic providers such as the FSS. "This followed a review of our submissions policy in 2009. "In assessing an article for submission we will take into account a number of issues such as the type of crime and potential success rates. "We work closely with the FSS to analyse our previous submissions so we have the greatest understanding of how we can make the best use of technology such as DNA." Cambridgeshire Police said it is cutting DNA testing in crimes where the chance of obtaining a sample is low. Mr Page said that the imminent closure of the FSS by the government is a serious body blow to the criminal justice system. "It creates the real likelihood of the guilty not being found guilty and those who are innocent not being exonerated for crimes which they haven't committed," he said. A Home Office spokesperson said: "The continued availability of a professional and effective forensics service to the criminal justice system is our priority. "The FSS is making huge financial losses and it is vital that we take clear and decisive action. "It is not the sole provider of forensic services to the criminal justice system and it has lost market share over time due to increasing competition. "This will have an impact on the samples it receives. "We are confident that our plans will not adversely affect the criminal justice system, providing the best value for money for the taxpayer and supporting the market so that other forensics providers can adjust to meet demand." MPs were meeting in Tobruk in the east because of violence in the capital Tripoli and the second city Benghazi, and 111 out of 124 voted for the call. Neither the UN nor any foreign power has any current plans to intervene. Libya has been gripped by violence involving militias that spearheaded the 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi. More than three years after the uprising, Libya's police and army remain weak in comparison to the militias who control large parts of the country. Shortly after the decree on intervention, the parliament also voted to disband all militias, but the state has no means to enforce this measure. The BBC's Rana Jawad, in Tripoli, says the first decree appears to be a bold move by the parliament but is ultimately symbolic. "The international community must intervene immediately to ensure that civilians are protected," said MP Abu Bakr Biira, quoting from the decree. It is not clear whether the parliament is seeking a peacekeeping mission or some other form of help. But the international community has so far stopped short of any intervention, instead demanding an end to violence and encouraging dialogue. The vote comes a day after Tripoli police chief Col Muhammad Suwaysi was shot dead in an ambush by unknown gunmen. Several hundred people are believed to have died in July and August in an upsurge of unrest. The fighting has been centred around the international airport in Tripoli and in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Arrests for thefts and numbers of bikes recovered by the police are also down on last year. Cycle campaign groups say the figures only tell part of the picture as only one-in-four people report stolen bicycles to police. The police say owners need to take more responsibility for their bikes. Cyclist Rob Patterson has had two bikes stolen from the racks at Liverpool Street Station. On the second occasion he told the police he had seen his bike on an online trading website, but the police did not return his call. "It seems like they're resigned to the fact that bikes are going to get stolen," he said. "I effectively did some detective work for them, and I was cast-iron sure I'd caught them a bike thief. They just weren't interested. It makes me really angry to be honest." A Freedom of Information request by the BBC showed that despite more thefts being reported to the police, in the past 12 months arrests for bike thefts have fallen by 10% and the number of bikes recovered by the force is down for the second consecutive year. Just under 1,000 bikes - less than 4% - were tracked down by Scotland Yard in the last financial year. Mike Cavenett of the London Cycling Campaign group said the figures only gave part of the picture. "Only about one in four bikes in London is reported stolen. That means there could be around 100,000 bikes stolen every year, which is clearly a huge problem. "The government's spending a lot of money encouraging people to ride their bike and when their bike is stolen about two-thirds of them don't get back on a bike," he said. But the Met's Cycle Task Force, set up in 2010, says owners can do more to safeguard their bikes. Sgt Paul Davey said: "If everyone had their bike registered and we had a contact detail which is linked to a security marking which is linked to the frame number on a bike - they're both unique - we could get bikes back to people all the time. "We could raise that number from 4% up to 100%." The former foreign secretary said the issue of compensation for IRA victims was not raised with him prior to the discussions with the Libyans. He added that had it been on the agenda it is unlikely it would have been resolved. Mr Straw was giving evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. The committee is examining the government's role in seeking compensation for IRA victims who suffered because of explosives supplied by Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The former foreign secretary who was involved in a peace deal with Libya in 2003, said there was no suggestion the victims of IRA violence were at the back of the queue. "The issue of compensation for victims of PIRA (Provisional IRA) terrorism was not raised with me, so far as I can recall and I know the Foreign Office can find no record suggesting it was raised," he said. "When you are involved in negotiations of this kind to deal with a very serious and continuing danger that the Gaddafi regime had caused over many years, you have got to make a decision over what you are going to concentrate on. If the issue of PIRA had been raised we would have taken it into account, it was not raised." "Even if we put it on the agenda we didn't believe it should get in the way of the agreement as had we refused an agreement on the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) agenda with Libyans, it wouldn't have helped the victims of IRA bombings for a second," he said. It simply would have meant that Libya would have continued to be dangerous," he added. Members of the committee also asked Mr Straw to explain why the families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing received compensation but those who suffered at the hands of Libyan supplied explosives to the IRA did not. "Libya under a United Nations Security resolution accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie attack and agreed to pay compensation," he said. "There was no such UN Security Council which bonded Libya to pay compensation to the victims of its support for the IRA, that was the difference," he said. Mr Straw also revealed that he too had suffered at the hands of the IRA. He told the committee how he had been hit by flying glass when a car bomb exploded outside the Old Bailey in 1973. He added that he later had to sign the release papers for some of those involved in the bombing as part of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations. The UUP MP for south Antrim, Danny Kinahan said Mr Straw's committee appearance will bring no comfort to victims: "Jack Straw's evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee has raised more questions than answers, and brings us no further in terms of assisting those UK victims of IRA attacks where Libyan Semtex and weapons were used," he said. Madden, 57, was a coach at Stockport for 13 years and also held the number two position at Fleetwood Town. The former Bury, West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool striker won the National League title during his spell with the Cod Army. He joins a side that sit 16th and have moved out of the relegation zone since Dino Maamria took over in November. The party urges Labour supporters to vote Communist on the regional lists at the assembly election in May to ensure socialist representation in the Senedd. Leader Robert Griffiths said it wanted a Welsh Assembly with "real powers and resources to make a big difference". He called for a federal Britain which would redistribute the wealth "hoarded" by the richest 10% of the population. The Welsh representative will be Sioned Gwen Davies, 30, a mezzo soprano from Colwyn Bay, Conwy county. England, Italy, Mongolia and the United States will each have two finalists. The competition, from 11 to 18 June, will include concerts broadcast from St David's Hall. Ms Davies, a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, has performed with Scottish Opera and recently with Valladolid Opera in Spain. She is also a former winner at both the National Eisteddfod and International Eisteddfod in 2009. The competition this year includes two finalists from England - soprano Louise Alder, who is making her Welsh National Opera debut in Cardiff during the competition, and bass Dominic Barberi, while Catriona Morison represents Scotland. One of the finalists, soprano Anush Hovhannisyan, will premiere an extract from an unfinished opera by Franz Liszt which had lain forgotten in a German archive for nearly two centuries before being revived by Cambridge lecturer David Trippett. The competition includes only four tenors, including singers from as far afield as Australia and South Korea. They were selected from an original list of 400 entrants and then auditions of 44 singers were held in six cities including Houston and New York. The winner of the main prize will receive £15,000 and the Cardiff Trophy. There will be rounds in the £7,000 Song Prize competition at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Belarusian soprano Nadine Koutcher took the title in 2015. FIRST HEARING FOR 'LOST' OPERA An incomplete Italian opera by Franz Liszt - which has lain largely forgotten in a German archive for nearly two centuries - will be given its world premiere as part of BBC Cardiff Singer of the World. Dr David Trippett, a musicologist and lecturer at the University of Cambridge, first discovered the opera more than ten years ago. He has spent two years working on the manuscript and a 10-minute preview will now be performed for the first time in public by Armenian soprano Anush Hovhannisyan. The story was based on Lord Byron's tragedy Sardanapalus. Liszt abandoned the work half way through after he started composing it in 1849. "The music that survives is breath-taking - a unique blend of Italianate lyricism and harmonic innovation. There is nothing else quite like it in the operatic world," said Dr Trippett. "A lot of it is very hard to read, but the scruffiness is deceptive. It seems Liszt worked out all the music in his head before he put pen to paper, and to retrieve this music, I've had to try and put myself into the mind of a 19th Century composer, a rare challenge and a remarkable opportunity." Ms Hovhannisyan said she felt "very blessed to have been a part of it." The competition was first launched in 1983 as a springboard for the careers of young classical singers. Director of BBC Cardiff Singer David Jackson said: "I'm very excited about the talent we've netted for this year's Cardiff Singer. It's going to be a thrilling week of singing." Concerts will be broadcast on BBC Four and BBC Radio 3, along with BBC Two Wales, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, S4C and online. Tuesday's shaker in Nepal is not quite as bad as the 7.8 tremor on 25 April - which was 5.5-times as energetic - but it is a major quake nonetheless. The location is different. The epicentre this time is about 80km east-northeast of Kathmandu, halfway to Everest. A fortnight ago, the event began 80km to the northwest of the capital. But just that observation is instructive because of what we have learnt in the past two weeks. In April, we saw the fault boundary rupture eastwards from the epicentre for 150km. And the immediate analysis suggests Tuesday's tremor has occurred right at the eastern edge of this failure. In that context, this second earthquake was almost certainly triggered by the stress changes caused by the first one. Indeed, the US Geological Survey had a forecast for an aftershock in this general area. Its modelling suggested there was 1-in-200 chance of a M7-7.8 event occurring this week. So, not highly probable, but certainly possible. Quake experts often talk about "seismic gaps", which refer to segments of faults that are to some extent overdue a quake. Tuesday's big tremor may well have filled a hole between what we saw on 25 April and some historic events - such as those in 1934, which occurred further still to the east. There are early reports of deaths and injuries, and one has to hope the outcome this time will be less severe. Buildings that were left damaged and precarious on 25 April may well have been felled in the following days' aftershocks, or have been put out of bounds. This could limit the casualties this time. But further landslides and avalanches in the mountainous terrain are a persistent risk. And, of course, another big tremor does nothing for the frayed nerves of an already anxious population. For the future, it is clear there are still large segments of the fault that retain strain, and these regions are where resilience planning is likely to be concentrated. Satellite images show the 25 April quake did not rupture all the way to the surface, meaning there is potential for another big quake just to the south of Kathmandu. And there are particular concerns to the west, as well. "I think if you spoke to most people, they would say the biggest patches that didn't break a fortnight ago were the shallower patches, south of Kathmandu; and also west of Kathmandu, or at least west of where it started on 25 April at Pokhara," explained Dr John Elliott from the Nerc Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes and Tectonics (Comet) at Oxford University, UK. "So, there is that whole portion of western Nepal that hasn't gone since the 1500s. This aftershock was quite big at 7.3 but we'd have concerns still about 8.0s to the west of Pokhara," he told BBC News. The death toll from the 25 April earthquake now stands at more than 8,000. This is a dreadfully high number, but it is worth remembering the estimates that were produced by the predictive models on that day. These suggested the number of dead could be in the tens of thousands. It is very probably that the final toll will be higher than what has so far been recorded, but there are indications that the numbers might not be quite so high. An interesting story is emerging about the shaking on 25 April. It seems the fault may have ruptured in a smoother fashion than might have been anticipated, resulting in less destruction. Susan Hough from the US Geological Survey has been reviewing the data. She told the BBC: "We can see directly that central Nepal moved up about 1.5m during the earthquake and also to the south, but it did so very gradually, if you will. "You can see that in videos that show the ground just moving back and forth with a very long period, on the order of five seconds. "So, you would have had buildings in Kathmandu that were able to ride out what would have been essentially long swells of the ground moving beneath them." Dyfed-Powys Police was called to Mill Pond in Pembroke at 02:40 BST on Monday after reports that an 18-year-old had disappeared after getting into difficulty in the water. A search was carried out throughout the night and a man's body was found later in the morning. The man's next of kin have been informed. Iain Thornley and Richie Myler crossed early on for Catalans and Luke Walsh kicked a penalty as they established an early advantage. However, Zak Hardaker, Grant Millington, Joel Monaghan and Greg Eden gave the hosts a 22-14 half-time lead. Eden got his second as Junior Moors and Michael Shenton also touched down and Luke Gale kicked 15 points. Louis Anderson and Vincent Duport, who made his 150th appearance, went over in the second half for Catalans, who are ninth after losing three of their six games so far. Castleford, who lost for the first time this season at Salford last week, had too much attacking quality as they ran in seven tries and became the first team to pass 200 points in the league this season. Rangi Chase came on for the Tigers as a replacement after a three-match absence for disciplinary reasons. Castleford coach Daryl Powell: "There were some outstanding things in our game. We had to score next and I thought we always looked dangerous when we had the ball, but we were a bit leaky in defence, which is one disappointing element. "The Catalans are a big physical team and to get away to a start like that it gave them a real foothold in the game. So I was pleased we managed a response. At times we look unbelievably difficult to hold, so there are lots of positives. "I went to see the under-19s before and they're top of the table as well. What I saw from the under-19s was as pleasing as us winning today." Catalans coach Laurent Frayssinous: "We made a great start with the ball, but obviously our defence was not good enough. "We imposed a lot of early pressure and scored some tries, but, on the back of that, we couldn't defend and it's frustrating to concede so many points." Castleford: Hardaker, Monaghan, Webster, Shenton, Eden; Roberts, Gale; Lynch, McShane, Massey, Millington, McMeeken, Milner. Replacements: Moores, Cook, Sene-Lefao, Chase. Catalans Dragons: Williame, Yaha, Inu, Duport, Thornley; Walsh, Myler; Moa, Aiton, Casty, Bousquet, Garcia, Burgess. Replacements: Anderson, Baltieri, Da Costa, Margalet. The 28-year-old suffered the injury during Ireland's open session at the Aviva Stadium on Friday and could be out for two months. Fitzgerald fell awkwardly after getting his foot caught in the ground. "It was fairly innocuous. Luke is very unlucky to be out of the Six Nations," said team manager Mick Kearney. "He is expected to be out of action for six to eight weeks and at this stage no replacement has been called in. "He was just doing a tackling drill at the Aviva on Friday, his foot got caught in the grass. "He was very upset and probably feared the worst." Ireland are already without Ulster wing Tommy Bowe, a long-term casualty with knee trouble. Coach Joe Schmidt can call on Andrew Trimble, Dave Kearney and Keith Earls for the wing, with Simon Zebo able to feature out wide or at full-back. Ireland's first Six Nations match is at home to Wales on Sunday. In 18 months in charge, the former Real midfielder has won the Champions League twice and La Liga once. Speaking on the eve of their Spanish Super Cup first leg at Barcelona, he said: "My story with Real Madrid is deeper than contracts and signatures. "I'm happy to be linked with the club. But the contract doesn't mean anything." The 45-year-old former France international, who managed Real's B team before replacing Rafael Benitez in January 2016, added: "You can sign for 10, 20 years. I know where I am and what to do. "In one year, maybe I won't be here. Real Madrid and I are not going to argue, never." Real visit Barca on Sunday with the game kicking off at 21:00 BST, with the second leg on Wednesday at the Bernabeu (22:00 BST). Two men from the city have been identified taking part in what appears to be a Jihadist recruiting video, which was posted online last week. It is thought Reyaad Khan travelled to Syria with friend Nasser Muthana who also appears in the footage. Khan lived close to the Cardiff men jailed over the London Stock Exchange bombing plot in 2012. It is believed the two men, both 20, travelled to Syria in November, while Nasser Muthana's younger brother Aseel, 17, travelled to the country in February. The men are believed to be among 500 Britons fighting in the conflict in Syria. Reyaad Khan's family is said to be frustrated that more could not be done by the authorities in the UK to bring him home and were concerned he would be radicalised after he went missing. Dr Suraj Lakhani, of Cardiff University, who recently completed his doctorate - A Social Analysis of Radicalisation in the UK, told BBC Radio Wales: "As far as I'm aware, there has been an issue in Cardiff for a while now. "This is a concern that has been raised not only by the intelligence services and the Welsh government, but also South Wales Police and local Muslim communities. "People have been saying that something needs to be done in Cardiff, they need support. "There has been a threat for a while as there has been in other parts of the country as well. Yes, there has been a threat and it's still ongoing." He said he believed the internet played a "big role" in radicalisation but there was also "face to face interaction", although not from the mosques. That was echoed by Saleem Kidwai, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Wales, who insisted there was no problem in south Wales mosques. He believes the men may have travelled to Syria for humanitarian reasons and were radicalised there. He said Islamic leaders and scholars could provide an important role in the fight against radicalisation. "People who are radicalising these youngsters probably are misquoting the verses from the Koran and the hadiths of the prophet for their own political ends, rather than what the true picture is," he said. "It is only the scholars of Islam - they can give the true interpretation of it, which I know is very different than what the extremist ideologists are portraying." BBC Wales reporter Jordan Davies I am at the South Wales Islamic Centre in Cardiff where Nasser and Aseel Muthana prayed some time ago now before moving on to other mosques in the city. I think it is fair to say there has been widespread shock at what has emerged. I've spoken to the boys' father who says he is heartbroken, while Reyaad Khan's mother says she is devastated. Both of those have appealed for all of the men to come home. In the video posted by internet accounts linked to militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), Reyaad Khan, who went to Cantonian High School and St David's Catholic College in Cardiff, is seen holding a gun and sitting next to his friend Nasser Muthana. Nasser Muthana, of Butetown - who has been offered places to study medicine by four universities - appears in the footage, using the name Abu Muthanna al-Yemen and urging others to fight in Syria and Iraq. His father, Ahmed Muthana, said his son - who he described as quiet, well-educated and intelligent - had left the UK to fight in Syria in November. The families of the men believe they have been brainwashed and have appealed for them to come home. It is not the first time fears have been raised about the radicalisation of young Muslims in Cardiff. Reyaad Khan lived close to the Cardiff men jailed over the London Stock Exchange plot, with the Daily Telegraph reporting that Reyaad Khan grew up in the same street in Riverside as Abdul Miah, one of the ringleaders of the plot. The Stock Exchange plotters - nine men in total also from London and Stoke-on-Trent - had planned to raise funds for a terrorist camp in Pakistan and recruit Britons to attend. Sheikh Zane Abdo from the South Wales Islamic Centre in Cardiff, where Nasser Muthana and his brother have prayed in the past but not for years, has also said he believes there is a problem with extremism in Cardiff. He said he believed "a certain amount of radicalisation" could occur online. "It very simple, very easy for a person just to click on (it) and become radicalised over a long period of time," he told BBC News. "The fact that the video they've shown... I guarantee many young people who are susceptible to this kind of message will have watched the video and maybe (be) encouraged to follow in the footsteps of Nasser and his brother. "A platform has been given to this video which really shouldn't have been given. "So there's issues around the internet and issues around people who can radicalise, can talk to young people." He said the pair had been normal teenagers before they went through a "very strange period" when they started expressing "certain views". Isis grew out of an al-Qaeda-linked organisation in Iraq Dr Lakhani said there were several reasons why young men may be willing to risk their lives abroad. "It's really a combination of humanitarian concerns, a feel for having a duty towards their religion, towards their Muslim kin, and some personal reasons as well," he said. "It's about leaving your formerly mundane and predictable life to search... for brotherhood and some sort of identity, masculinity and action abroad." Mohammed Sarul Islam, a former Riverside councillor who knows the Khan family, agreed that radicalisation was happening "under people's noses". He said it was better to try to solve the problem rather than blaming communities or individual organisations. He added: "The family's only hope is they get any government-level help (to bring their son home). "The mother is crying her eyes out... all the time she is urging through the media, through whatever source possible, asking him to come back home." He said the family thought their son had gone to Birmingham for an Islamic conference and were shocked when police said he had left the country. Odell-May Waverley Black's middle name is a tribute to the old name of the Borders to Edinburgh line. Her parents, Natasha and Daniel, met while giving out leaflets about the scheme seven years ago. The new line between Tweedbank and the capital is set to open on 5 September this year. The route has extra significance to the Blacks, who were summer interns with the project's solicitors Brodies LLP when they met. Following his internship, Mr Black continued to work full time for the firm. The couple's relationship continued and they married five years later and now live in Edinburgh. Odell-May's mother Natasha said: "Daniel and I met whilst I was doing a summer job at Brodies. "Our roles saw us travel throughout the Scottish Borders delivering information about the project to homes along what was then the proposed new rail route. "You could say our relationship started on the A7 which isn't exactly romantic!" She said it was when they started discussing names for their child that the thought of including something about the railway came to them. "When we discovered we were due a baby last year, we came up with lots of different names," she explained. "We then got to thinking about how we met and felt it was appropriate to include a reference to the railway. "Waverley seemed a sensible choice and was also reflective of the old Borders route and our history together." She said that as well as "having a nice ring to it", the name also had "real meaning". "It's a fun story to tell our friends and family and we look forward to telling her about its origins when she's older too." she added. Craig Bowman, senior communications manager with Network Rail, offered his congratulations to the couple. "Their early dedication to the project has helped to give new life to the Waverley route and it's great that they have celebrated that in the naming of their daughter," he said. Network Rail, which has led the construction of the project, has gifted the family golden tickets for the inaugural journey along the new route. Patricia McCall had tiny valves inserted in her lungs to treat her emphysema. The procedure is an alternative to radical surgery in which diseased parts of the lungs are cut away. Ms McCall was treated at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank as part of a clinical trial. The hospital is the first in Scotland to fit the valves. The valves are made from titanium and silicone and could be suitable for up to a third of emphysema patients. "Before, it was like someone had their arms round you and was just crushing you," said Ms McCall, "and it was like someone else had their hands over your mouth. "Now I look and feel 100 times better. It has been a godsend." The tiny one-way valves block the airflow to diseased parts of the lung, whilst improving the flow of air to healthy parts. They are implanted via the mouth and throat, which means there are no scars. Consultant Lung Surgeon Mr Alan Kirk said: "Our clinical study on these one-way valves has found that after treatment patients will breathe far more effectively, making their quality of life much better." Since the operation last May, 58-year-old Ms McCall has been able to book her first holiday in a decade. She said: "It has been so long since I last went on holiday and I am really looking forward to getting away, but it would not have been possible without the valves. "I never thought I would get on an aeroplane and be able to go away ever again because of the problems with my lungs. "I have bumped into old friends since the operation and they have all said I look fab and that it is great to see me out and about." It is hoped the "Endobronchial Valve" will dramatically improve the quality of life for people with lung disease. Emphysema is usually caused by smoking and is very common in Scotland. Mr Kirk wants more doctors to refer their patients for the procedure as part of the trial. "We really want to improve awareness of this procedure and receive more referrals from GPs and hospitals," he said. "We are confident that long term this procedure may be an alternative to more invasive surgery for patients suited to this treatment." In 2012, Erik Chevalier raised more than $122,000 (£79,000) to make a board game called The Doom That Came to Atlantic City. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said much of the money raised went on rent, personal equipment and moving expenses. In a settlement, Mr Chevalier agreed to honour refunds and to be honest in any future crowdfunding projects. The legal action is believed to be the first against someone who misrepresented crowdfunding projects or misappropriated funds. The Kickstarter appeal sought only to raise $35,000 but far exceeded this target because of the involvement of prominent game-makers and artists, said the FTC in a statement. Despite Mr Chevalier providing regular updates, little work was done on the game's development and it was abruptly cancelled in mid-2013. Mr Chevalier cited his inexperience with making games and other "challenges" as the reasons for shutting down the project. At the time he also pledged to refund backers but, said the FTC, no money changed hands. Instead the cash was used to support Mr Chevalier as he moved to Oregon and to help him get started on a separate project. The settlement bars Mr Chevalier from misrepresenting any crowdfunding campaign he is involved with and from withholding refunds. It also imposes a repayment order of $111,793.71 that has been suspended because Mr Chevalier does not have enough money to repay it. The FTC said the full amount would become due if it found that Mr Chevalier had more money than he currently claims to possess. In its statement, the FTC said the legal action was part of a project to oversee novel ways that people can "store, share and spend" money. Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's bureau of consumer protection, said crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and IndieGogo were proving popular and many people enjoyed backing new products and services. But she said: "Consumers should be able to trust their money will actually be spent on the project they funded." Walsh, the popular coach of the Australian Football League team, was stabbed at least 20 times at his home in Adelaide in July 2015. Cy Walsh has been detained in a psychiatric facility ever since. But the South Australian Supreme Court ruled the 27-year-old could not be held criminally responsible for the killing. Justice Anne Bampton said he had been "suffering from a psychotic episode as a result of schizophrenia, which at the time of the conduct was undiagnosed". Walsh is expected to remain in detention in the secure facility and is subject to a lifetime mental health supervision order. The young animal was found by chance at the Cromarty Firth by a couple who had got lost trying to drive to a dolphin-watching spot at the Moray Firth. Scientists and conservationists were unsure the animal would survive the injury after it was refloated. The images were taken from the shores of the Cromarty and Moray firths. Whale and Dolphin Conservation field officer Charlie Phillips photographed the bottlenose dolphin, known as Spirtle, "babysitting" her sister Honey's calf from Nigg on the Cromarty Firth earlier this week. Animal welfare officers and members of the public refloated Spirtle after the animal was spotted by a couple who had got lost while trying to drive to a popular dolphin spotting site. They were looking for Chanonry Point on the Moray Firth but instead ended up on the Nigg peninsula on the Cromarty Firth. The University of Aberdeen and the Inverness-based Scottish Marine Strandings Scheme (SMASS) are monitoring Spirtle's recovery from the stranding. There are hopes the young female might eventually breed and raise young. Now, after a 20-year battle, the architectural historian is set to fulfil his ambition as the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust prepares to open the first section to be restored. The Gardener's Tower has been painstakingly revamped to look exactly as it would have done when the last resident, Winifred Bamford-Hesketh, Countess of Dundonald, lived there a century ago. It will be officially unveiled on Saturday. Mr Baker, who is chairman of the trust, said: "Gwrych Castle is one of the most important buildings at risk in Wales. "Since beginning the campaign to rescue Gwrych from dereliction in the mid-1990s, it has been my mission to try and restore the castle and grounds. "By working together with the castle owners, EPM UK, the trust has restored its first building, the Gardener's Tower. "This building was chosen as it sits at the centre of the formal garden and is the flagship for the restoration project. "Our aim next is to start the process of rebuilding the Melon House for conversion into a visitor's centre." Built between 1812 and 1822, the Grade I-listed castle is a manor house, which was home to the Bamford-Hesketh family for over a century. The last resident, Winifred, was married to notable Boer War and World War One officer Douglas Cochrane, 12th Earl of Dundonald. However, in the latter part of her life, Winifred appears to have lived there alone and when she died in 1924, rather than leaving it to her husband, she bequeathed it to King George V. The king declined the inheritance and Douglas Cochrane - who outlived his wife by 10 years - bought it back, selling the contents in order to raise the purchase price. During World War Two, it housed 200 Jewish refugee children who had been saved by Sir Nicholas Winton, who was known as "the British Schindler". In the 1960s it was a major north Wales tourist attraction, billed as the showplace of Wales, and hosted events as varied as motorbike rallies and Young Communist League conferences. Despite attracting more than 10 million visitors in 20 years, by 1985 Gwrych Castle had fallen into disrepair and was closed to the public. A succession of new owners failed to raise the necessary funds for its redevelopment and the castle appeared doomed until Mr Baker's campaign to save it. He said: "I am really excited that this first phase of restoration is complete. It's amazing to see how part of this ruin can be reborn and see how it would've looked in its heyday when the countess was alive." The emergency services were called to the blaze in a property in Broomgate at about 21:15 on Saturday. Three fire engines were sent to the scene and an 87-year-old woman was taken to hospital. Police said the woman died later. A Police Scotland spokeswoman added: "There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal." The National Sperm Bank said it was unable to fund further donor recruitment, having successfully only taken on seven men. It was set up in October 2014 with a government grant to tackle the shortage of donors, particularly at NHS clinics. The Department of Health say the NSB's demise will not affect people's access to safe sperm donation services. A shortage of donors often drives patients overseas or to unregistered services. Based in Birmingham, the NSB received a one-off £77,000 grant from the Department of Health to get up and running. The aim was for the bank to be financially self-sufficient within one year. It was a joint project run by the charity the National Gamete Donation Trust and Birmingham Fertility Centre, a unit at Birmingham Women's Hospital. In total, eight sperm donors were recruited since it launched, with one later dropping out. But with the full donor process taking up to 18 months, the bank was unable to generate income in the second year. Charles Lister, chair of the National Gamete Donation Trust said: "One of the lessons learned from running the NSB is that the level of ongoing investment required for successful donor recruitment is beyond the resources of a small charity like the NGDT." Laura Spoelstra, who left her role as chief executive of the NGDT, earlier this year and believes more could have been done to put the NSB on a firmer financial footing. She said: "Once you have a donor at least 70% along the process, you have income. It's a business model. It required a business way of thinking. Once you know you've got income in the pipeline, you can use that to offset costs." Demand for sperm donations in the UK has steadily grown and hundreds of new donors, who are compensated £35 per clinic visit, are registered each year. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority estimate that 2,000 children are born every year in the UK using donated eggs, sperm or embryos. The most recent data from 2014, shows 85 licensed UK clinics - both private and NHS - performing sperm donor insemination. But the majority of licensed clinics are based in London and the south east of England and treatment can be expensive. The cost of donor sperm from the UK's largest private sperm bank, the London Sperm Bank, is currently £950. The National Sperm Bank was proposing to charge £300 per insemination. Prof Allan Pacey, a spokesman for the British Fertility Society, believes there is still a need for a national sperm bank. "It doesn't have to be bricks and mortar, it could be a network," he said. "We need better coordination and this just highlights how expensive it's going to be." Mr Lister said the NSB had demonstrated that with targeted information, "more men are willing to become donors and give the precious gift of life". He said the NGDT would continue to focus on raising awareness about the need for more UK donors. Following a change in the law, all children conceived as the result of sperm donation on or after 1 April 2005, have the right to know the identity of their father when they turn 18. But a donor is not the legal parent and is not named on a birth certificate. The first donations from the NSB will be released shortly by Birmingham Women's Fertility Centre to clinics across the UK. The centre has its own sperm bank, which will continue recruiting donors. A spokeswoman for the centre said: "We fully understand and support the decision made by NGDT." In a statement, the Department of Health said: "We gave a one-off start-up grant to help set up the National Sperm Bank, and while the number of donations have not been sufficient to support it continuing to seek new donors, this will have no impact on people being able to access safe egg and sperm donation services." It will apply to lanes on east and west Belfast routes and 12-hour bus lanes in the city centre, which link them. The trial relates to Class A taxis and any of the remaining taxis still licensed as private hire and public hire outside Belfast. However, the trial, that begins on Monday, has come under criticism. Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, said it was disappointed by the move which it said was "a potential setback for cycling in the city". It said it believed the decision was premature "as there are currently limited alternatives for cyclists given the lack of a segregated bike network in the city". Sustrans added that in "the absence of segregated cycle lanes, bus and cycle lanes (their official title) have become safe havens for cyclists". The trial includes bus lanes on the following routes: The Department for Infrastructure has said its aim is to "balance and respect the needs of all road users". It said it would assess the impact of the taxis on the operation of the bus lanes during the trial period. "This will include the safety of bus lane users, as well as the impact on journey times, vehicle speeds and volumes," it added. "The department will also invite stakeholders to provide their views before reaching a decision on the long term access arrangements for taxis in bus lanes." Class B and Class D taxis are already permitted to use all bus lanes in Belfast. Class C taxis (intended for specialist services such as weddings and funerals) have not been permitted access. Further information on the 12-week bus lane trial is available via the Department for Infrastructure website.

Flood response teams from Londonderry recovered the body at 18:30 BST on Tuesday. It was found in the Mourne River near Strabane golf club. Robbie Bryson of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said the cause of the death appeared to be accidental. He said seven units attended the scene. The police and ambulance service were also in attendance. One - Junaid Hussain of Birmingham - left the UK while on bail pending investigation for violent disorder. The other, Abu Aziz from Luton, has been convicted in his absence of an attack on a member of the public. Aziz is an associate of Anjem Choudary, the high-profile former leader of a group banned under terrorism laws. It is understood that Aziz, 32, fled the UK in March along with another British man, Mohammod Alom. The pair headed to Amsterdam before, according to multiple sources, going on to Turkey - the route for British fighters seeking to enter Syria to join jihadist groups. While it is not known whether the pair crossed the Turkish-Syrian border, a former associate of Aziz, who wishes to remain anonymous, told the BBC that he believed the Luton man had made it to Syria. He said that he believed Aziz would not be returning, nor pose a threat to the UK. A month before he disappeared, Aziz posted a lecture on a social media site calling on Muslims to go to Syria. He said: "Why is it that we have become blinded by the dunya [material world], that we don't see what is happening to our brothers and sisters in Bilaad al Shaam [Syria]? Just because they are far away from us it does not mean they are not our family." Aziz has not responded to online questions about his whereabouts but in the last few days he has posted messages about the conflict, including a declaration of support for militant group ISIS. No one was available for comment at his home. Junaid Hussain was arrested in July last on suspicion of violent disorder. The BBC has learned that he left the UK while he was still under criminal investigation for the alleged violence. West Midlands Police later decided he would face no further action. In a statement, the force said that Hussain had not been required to attend a police station or surrender his passport while inquiries were continuing. Aziz regularly attended protests by Muslims Against Crusades, a group headed by Anjem Choudary before its 2011 ban. In a report published last year, campaign group Hope Not Hate estimated that dozens of the British fighters in Syria had a connection with Anjem Choudary's group. The report said the number of fighters from Aziz's hometown of Luton may be in double figures, although that has not been independently verified. Mr Choudary told the BBC "I know Abu Aziz very well. He was very active when he was here... He was always concerned about Muslims abroad." He denied knowing where Aziz was or playing any role in sending Britons to fight in Syria, adding: "No one has asked me before they go abroad. They don't need my permission." Earlier on Wednesday, the prime minister warned that the threat from jihadist fighters in Iraq and Syria would "come back to hit the UK" if it were not tackled. That warning came after Foreign Secretary William Hague said that as many as 400 British citizens may be fighting in Syria, including some with ISIS, the insurgent force now fighting attacking Iraq. Abu Aziz was tried in his absence at the Old Bailey after being charged with affray after an incident following a demonstration outside the US Embassy in May last year. Prosecutors say he left the demonstration to man a prayer stall - but then punched a passer-by who was walking away from a pub towards Oxford Street. Aziz and other men set upon Andrew White, bundling him to the ground and then punching and kicking him. He was left bleeding from the head and mouth. Aziz and his nine co-defendants who pleaded guilty to affray will be sentenced on Thursday and Friday. Several of them were previously convicted for their role in an angry demonstration in 2009 by Muslims Against Crusades in Luton against British soldiers returning from Afghanistan. Two of Aziz's co-defendants, Qadeer Ahmed and Yousaf Bashir, broke their bail conditions to fly to the Middle East, although it is not known why. They returned to the UK before the trial began. Raffaello Pantucci of the Royal United Services Institute said that many British fighters in Syria were trying to remain anonymous to avoid attention from the security services. "It is surprising, however, that someone from [the Muslims Against Crusades network] would stay so quiet given their tendency to like to take a very aggressive and confrontational style," he said. "However, they are also aware of the legislation in the United Kingdom and would have noticed how many of those who are coming back to the UK are being arrested." Dyfed-Powys Police said the incident happened near the Starling Cloud pub on Boulevard St Brieuc in Aberystwyth just before 18:30 GMT on Monday. The woman suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. Anyone who witnessed the incident involving a white Toyota Yaris has been asked to contact police on 101. Four weeks of work that started on Monday to upgrade Ullapool harbour means only foot passengers are being taken between Ullapool and Stornoway. Vehicles and freight must be taken to Uig on Skye to be ferried to the isles. Skye councillor Drew Miller has raised concerns about the additional pressures this will place on the A87. He told BBC Alba that more traffic than usual was using the trunk road. Transport Scotland said it did not expect traffic to be "significantly higher" than normal when considered on an annual basis, or when compared to busy summer weeks. A spokesperson added: "We are fully aware of the importance of the trunk road network to communities in this area and, like always, it will kept under regular review by our operating company during this period to ensure that any defects are detected and repaired as quickly as possible." Ullapool harbour's 42-year-old linkspan is being replaced with a new two-lane structure to allow vehicles to move on and off ferries quicker. A three-try first-half blitz, including two from Adam Ashley-Cooper, helped the Wallabies into a 13-point lead. Argentina refused to yield and Nicolas Sanchez's flawless boot - he kicked five penalties in all - saw them trail by seven points with 26 minutes to go. But Ashley-Cooper completed a hat-trick of tries late on to secure victory. Roared on by a passionate support that included football World Cup winner Diego Maradona, Argentina had chances in the second half as they took control up front and utilised their explosive runners. But they lacked the composure to exploit several possible overlaps and Australia will now face neighbours New Zealand in the final. The two great Antipodean rivals have never met before in a World Cup final, and a tournament that has been blessed with so many epic contests may yet have one more. Argentina may feel they did not get the rub of Wayne Barnes' refereeing, particularly in losing Tomas Lavanini to a questionable yellow card and seeing both Will Genia and Tevita Kuridrani escape censure for more obvious offences. Yet they will also rue their own lack of ruthlessness compared to their opponents, too often losing possession deep in enemy territory when the momentum and crowd were with them. Number eight David Pocock was once again outstanding for Australia as his side won countless turnovers, fly-half Bernard Foley's nine points from the tee also critical in deflating the Puma charge. Barely a minute had gone before the Wallabies struck, lock Rob Simmons picking off Sanchez's obvious inside-pass to race under the posts. Sanchez landed a simple penalty but when scrum-half Martin Landajo knocked on taking a quick tap deep in his own 22 Australia cashed in again, Israel Folau's dummy run creating space for Foley's long mis-pass the other way to send Ashley-Cooper sprinting into the right-hand corner. Foley's second conversion made it 14-3, and with Pocock a relentless burglar at the breakdown, Argentina were in trouble despite Sanchez's second penalty. Worse was to come when young second row Lavanini was controversially yellow-carded for tackling Folau without using his arms. This time it was Matt Giteau's perfectly timed mis-pass which set Ashley-Cooper way into the left-hand corner after a series of barrelling drives and quick ball from the forwards sucked in the defence. The Pumas would not be cowed. Sanchez's third penalty narrowed the deficit to 10 points and just before half-time only a bungled off-load from Juan Martin Hernandez after Santiago Cordero's fizzing break denied supporting full-back Joaquin Tuculet a certain try. Sanchez landed two penalties and Foley one in a frantic period after the break as Argentina - three key men down after injuries to captain Agustin Creevy, winger Juan Imhoff and Hernandez - twice closed to within a converted try. The Pumas began to win the scrum battles and with it the territory but three times they had clear overlaps out wide and, unlike the Wallabies, could not convert. Australia centre Kuridrani was lucky to stay out of the sin-bin after deliberately kicking the ball away, with scrum-half Genia equally fortunate after tackling his man off a penalty without having dropped back 10 metres. And Ashley-Cooper made the Pumas pay when Drew Mitchell produced a scything run in and out of the blue-and-white shirted rearguard before throwing out a pass that the winger gathered off the turf to complete his hat-trick. Pocock has arguably been the player of the tournament for his phenomenal breakdown work, but in becoming only the second man after Jonah Lomu to score three tries in a World Cup semi-final, Ashley-Cooper will be the toast of his bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived homeland.

Att: 80,025 Ref: Wayne Barnes (RFU). Messages wished death upon theatre staff at unrelated establishments in an apparent mix-up. It appears complainers did not check which theatre they were angry about. The title character in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, written in 1599, is stabbed to death by Roman senators. The play draws on the real-life assassination of Julius Caesar, 2,061 years ago. In a version of the classic play running at the Public Theater in New York for the past month, the title role was played by a man in a suit with a red tie and orange-tinted blond hair. Anger over the decision led several sponsors to remove their funding and hecklers disrupted performances on more than one night. Trump-like Julius Caesar loses backing Donald Trump Jr tweeted about it, asking: "Serious question, when does 'art' become political speech & does that change things?" Although the show's run has now ended, protesters have been getting in touch with theatres with Shakespeare in the name to voice their disgust. Shakespeare Dallas, in Texas, has had 90 emails, while Shakespeare & Company in Massachusetts has had nearly 50, plus about 10 angry phone calls. "It's a case of mistaken identity," said Raphael Parry, the artistic director at Shakespeare Dallas. "If you don't want to see political commentary, don't go see it," he said. "Don't blast everyone who's in theatre or the arts. It's unbelievable. It's shocking. People need to do their research before they blast off." He and his staff have received emails including "I hope you die and so do your family" and "You truly are a bunch of freaks... We should send all you freaks to ISIS. They would eliminate your stench on this earth with real knives." Shakespeare & Company shared some of the messages with the BBC. (Some have been edited to remove swearing.) They included: The Public Theater released a statement thanking "the 46,000 enthusiastic audience members and countless supporters around the globe during our run of Julius Caesar". The two princes said that "the time is right to recognise her positive impact" with a permanent statue. The sculpture will be erected in the public grounds of her former residence, Kensington Palace. A sculptor has yet to be chosen but a spokesperson said work on the artwork would begin soon. Princes William and Harry said in statement: "It has been 20 years since our mother's death and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world with a permanent statue. "Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy." The Queen has said she "supports" her grandchildren commemorating Princess Diana. The announcement comes after Prince William said his mother's death made him "very angry". The rare admission was made during a visit to a London bereavement centre. The Princess of Wales died on 31 August 1997 in a car crash in Paris, when the Duke of Cambridge was 15 and his brother was 12. Her death led to an international public outpouring of grief, marked by millions of tributes being left at royal residences for many months. It is thought her funeral was watched by 2 billion people worldwide. In July 2016, Prince Harry said he did not talk about his mother's death "for the first 28 years of my life". This national monument to the wife of one future king and the mother of another has been a long time coming. The Queen Mother statue was unveiled seven years after her death. Some of Diana's friends have argued it would be difficult to capture the princess in stone. Others have questioned whether the failure to do so was more a reflection of establishment ambivalence towards what Diana represented. Until now, the main memorial has been a fountain in London's Hyde Park. For its supporters, the granite structure embodies the princess's spontaneity. Its critics have likened it to the outflow from a power station. As children, Prince William and Prince Harry watched as controversy surrounded the building of this fountain. As adults, they're using their wealth - and that of others - to erect a statue of their mother. Read more from Peter Hunt The statue will be the fourth London-based monument dedicated to Princess Diana, and will be close to the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, and the memorial garden close to Kensington Palace. An artist will be chosen by a committee of six people, which includes Diana's sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale. The 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death will be commemorated by Earl Spencer, her brother, with a host of exhibitions at the family's home in Althorp.

The victory for the Brown Panther, trained by Tom Dascombe, was the 11th of the horse's career. It follows previous triumphs in the Goodwood Cup in 2013 and last year in the Irish St Leger. Meanwhile Prince Bishop beat favourite California Chrome in the Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horse race. Former England international footballer Owen said Brown Panther had been "a superstar from day one and this man [Dascombe] has trained him to perfection". "He always jumps really well out of the traps and he found himself right up there. "The rest is history, as they say. He's a special horse. I'll probably never replace a horse like this," said Owen. It is hard to argue with Dascombe's assertion that the horse is now probably better than ever. Jockey Richard Kingscote deserves particular mention having bravely fought back - only returning recently - from very serious injury incurred in a bone-crunching fall at Wolverhampton in November. The Gold Cup at Royal Ascot, which is more than half a mile further, has inevitably been mentioned as a likely target, although last summer, when fourth, Brown Panther's stamina appeared to run out. In the Dubai World Cup, William Buick rode 14-1 shot Prince Bishop to victory for Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor, his seventh World Cup winner. The race has a purse worth $10m dollars (£6.7m) with more than £3.8m going to the winner.

Michael Owen enjoyed another success as joint-owner of Brown Panther after the seven-year old added the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan to his already glittering CV.

Assombalonga scored from point-blank range after being picked out by Mark Little's delightful low delivery. Debutant Hogan Ephraim then stylishly slipped the ball through to Mendez-Laing to secure their passage. Assombalonga dragged two other chances wide, while Arron Davies forced Posh keeper Bobby Olejnik into a late save. Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I thought we were patient the first half, maybe lacked a bit of quality but I thought for the whole of the second half we were very good. Media playback is not supported on this device "I think it typifies the problem at the moment where everyone expects us to win 6-0 when your first question says we didn't really get going until the 70th minute. "They're a very good team, Exeter, fifth in League Two and a good footballing team. We just had to be patient and we had to produce a better quality in the second half to be fair and we've done that. "I thought the second half we had a lot more life and energy and perhaps it was getting through to the players. There is frustration from people and I think you could see a release in them when we scored the first goal." Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale spoke to BBC Radio Devon: "They (Exeter players) didn't look inferior to the opposition whatsoever, we just needed to pack a punch around that last third when we had our moment and we didn't quite make that happen. Media playback is not supported on this device "We conceded a rather feeble goal and if we're going to be a good side that can't happen too often. "So I leave today unhappy with the result, unhappy with the way it transpired, but happy with the players individually. "It's been a character of our away performances this season that we've looked to be conservative and then build our game, and you can see that from the substitutions we made."

Goals from Britt Assombalonga and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing saw Peterborough defeat Exeter and seal their place in the second round of the FA Cup.

The central section of the memorial in Royal Square in Woodhall Spa began to crumble earlier this month. East Lindsey District Council said it had now been repaired ready for a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Dambusters raids over the weekend. It is believed the damage to the central plaque of the structure was due to its age rather than vandalism. The 617 Squadron, also known as the Dambusters, operated from RAF Woodhall Spa from January 1944 to May 1945. The wall depicts the night time raid on dams during World War Two and is dedicated to the memory of those from the squadron who died during the operation. The memorial, which was put up in 1987, had to be cordoned off while work was carried out. The prominent advertisement for the "Konkani Kantaram Utsav" (Konkani song festival) announced by the BJP government's department of information and publicity, called for "songs based on achievements of the present government and emphasising the schemes implemented by this government for the welfare of the state". The contest is co-hosted by the state-funded Tiatr Academy of Goa and is scheduled for 8 March. But if dulcet, fawning odes is what they were after, the government could not have chosen a more inappropriate community to target. "Konkani Kantaram" is the domain of an immensely popular and irreverent century-old Goan theatrical form, locally called tiatr. The three-hour-long dramas that run to packed houses are equally famous for the songs or "cantars" (from the Portuguese word cantare, to sing) that are interspersed with set changes. Hugely popular with wide fan followings, "cantarists" are known to pack a punch, whether they are singing about love, life or the latest socio-political issues from the morning's newspaper. Many politicians have come to fear this on-stage skewering and governments, both past and present, have found themselves, and their policies, regularly held up to the satirical scrutiny of the cantarists. Predictably, the latest government initiative has not been taken to very kindly. "It is a subtle form of control. How can they dictate what we should sing about," Konkani stage singer and performer Sharon Mazarello told the BBC. A former legislator from India's Congress party, Jitendra Deshprabhu, called it an affront to artistic freedom of expression. "Tiatr and cantaram were born as anti-establishment avenues and they have stayed true to that. To try and make it an instrument of propaganda for the government, with monetary enticements, is to attempt to cripple this cultural instrument," he said. Many stage artists are also not too enamoured with the idea and as the competition draws near, there have been editorials and letters in newspapers, asking them to spurn the contest and its prize money. What is also ironic is the fact that the contest is the brainchild of the same government department that just a year ago justified censorship proposals for tiatrs - a move that was quickly dropped after protests from the influential community and opposition parties. The past few years have also seen heightened tensions with the authorities over the tiatr community's take on several controversial and unpopular government decisions, including the declassification of the coconut tree and "unfulfilled election promises". Relations reached their lowest point last year, when supporters of a legislator stormed the stage to prevent a performance by popular political soloist, Francis Fernandes. Hartman de Souza, an English theatre personality and author of a recent book "Eat Dust" on mining excesses in Goa, feels the government initiative will only result in cantarists being even more critical of it. "The Konkani stage has evolved from protest and dissent, and they have an ear to the ground, to the common man. You cannot try to orient them," he said. "You can ask people for their opinion. You can't ask people to only write things in praise. Praise me and get paid for it. Why bother with poetry then? Just hire an advertising agency," added installation artist and painter Subodh Kerkar. However, long-time Konkani entertainer Miguel Jacob Fernandes feels differently. He says the contest can help to bridge the growing divide between the Konkani stage and the government. "Nobody is being forced to enter the contest and say good things. Those who feel they can do so, can enter." The government, on its part, has clarified that the contest is just a means to use the popularity of Konkani songs to disseminate information about its schemes, in the same way as it uses other media, like print or films. But rightly or wrongly, high praise does not seem to be coming their way. BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said armed prisoners took over Nash Wing and smashed windows, according to well-placed sources. The Ministry of Justice said order was restored shortly before 17:00 BST. About 30 inmates at Erlestoke prison in Wiltshire also became violent and four people were taken to hospital, the Prison Officers Association said. Live: Latest updates as trouble reported at HMP The Mount At Erlestoke a prison officer suffered a broken jaw, it added. The acting chairman of the association, Mark Fairhurst, told the BBC that more than 80 inmates were unlocked on a wing at the jail at the time - with "a nucleus of about 30 prisoners being involved in the violence". The MoJ has confirmed that some prison officers were taken to hospital but would not confirm the number or the nature of their injuries. Following the end of the problems at The Mount, a Prison Service spokesperson said: "Specially trained prison staff have successfully resolved an incident at HMP The Mount on 1 August. There were no injuries to staff or prisoners. "We do not tolerate violence in our prisons, and are clear that those responsible will be referred to the police and could spend longer behind bars." The Mount Prison opened in 1987 as a young offenders institution. It was designed as a category C training prison built on the site of a former RAF station on the outskirts of Bovingdon village, Hertfordshire. A report in 2016 by the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) found "all the ingredients were in place for The Mount to suffer disorder such as has been experienced in other prisons: The prison now has a population of more than 1,000 prisoners. The Nash wing is fairly new - it was completed in 2015 - with 94 double cells and 62 single cells. On Monday at least 50 cells are thought to have been damaged when violence broke out in two wings at The Mount. No-one was injured on that occasion. A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokeswoman said: "Following [Monday's] incident we are working with the Ministry of Justice and are currently reviewing what, if any offences, have occurred." The Mount, near Hemel Hempstead, opened in 1987 and is classed as a category C male prison. Nash wing is believed to hold between 200 and 250 inmates serving short sentences or with only three months left to serve of their sentence. HMP Erlestoke is also a category C men's prison, which the Prison Reform Trust describes as one where "prison staff think [inmates] will not escape", while acknowledging they "cannot be trusted in an open prison". Incidents take place in prisons all the time; it's usually problems with one or two individuals, and most go unreported. When an incident like this take place - when tornado (specialist riot) teams are involved - it takes it up to a new level. When you have prisoners rioting or barricading themselves in, with staff having to withdraw, that is very serious. Problems at the Mount have been brewing for some time. The independent inspectors that go into prisons were saying they were 25 staff short out of 136 - that is a significant shortfall. Last week the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) published its annual report into Erlestoke, and said that the smuggling of tobacco, which has been banned by the prison, had contributed to bullying. Before the violence broke out on Monday, the IMB also published its annual review into conditions at The Mount and said it had "struggled" with staff shortages. There were 24 vacancies out of a total of 136 officers in February, it added. It also claimed violence "grew considerably" throughout the year and that drugs were readily available, in particular the synthetic cannabis substitute spice. The report said concerns raised last year had not been addressed by the MoJ. HMP Erlestoke is a Category C establishment holding adult male sentenced offenders. A 2017 IMB report on the prison found that lack of experienced officers was a concern. It found: The prison has 388 prisoners with 115 of them serving a life sentence. About 60% of inmates are aged between 21 and 39. Ramush Haradinaj, a former prime minister, leads a centre-right coalition of parties that emerged from the 1998-99 conflict with Serbia. With 70% of the votes counted, the electoral commission said his alliance had won about a third of the vote. The left-wing opposition party Vetevendosje has about 25%, it said. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008. It is recognised by the US and most EU countries, but not by Serbia or its ally Russia. A victory for Mr Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, would complicate relations with Serbia, which has issued an international arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes. Another centre-right coalition, led by outgoing Prime Minister Isa Mustafa of the Democratic League of Kosovo, stands at 25.8%. However, Ismet Kryeziu, of the non-governmental group Democracy in Action, warned no party should celebrate too soon. Mr Mustafa called the snap election last month after his government lost a confidence vote. Mr Haradinaj served as a commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) during the war with Serbia in 1998 and 1999. He has been tried and acquitted twice at the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague, although Serbia said it had further evidence involving civilian murders. Mr Haradinaj has consistently denied the allegations, and stepped down as prime minister after just 100 days in 2005 to face the charges. Serbia has repeatedly warned it will defend "every inch" of what it claims as its territory in neighbouring Kosovo. About 1.9 million Kosovars were registered to cast their ballots in the third vote since independence. Nearly half a million voters live abroad. One of the top priorities for the new government will be to reduce unemployment, which is running at 30%, and lower tensions with Serbia, a pre-condition for both countries before they can join the European Union. The West believes that the incorporation of Western Balkan countries in the EU is the most effective way of stabilising a region blighted by war throughout the 1990s. Kosovo has had a constant Nato peacekeeping force since 1999. 1991 - Start of the violent break-up of Yugoslavia 1996 - Rebel Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) steps up attacks on Serbian authorities in Kosovo - met with a Serbian crackdown 1999 - Nato bombs Serbian targets - Yugoslav and Serbian forces respond with ethnic cleansing against Kosovo Albanians but withdraw from Kosovo after a peace agreement 2008 - Kosovo unilaterally declares independence. The work - called Golden - is taller than the Angel of the North and stands on the former Goldendale ironworks site in the Chatterley Valley. It is made of corten steel and glass prisms and has LED lights that will shine at night. Paul Bailey, Stoke-on-Trent City Council's culture and events manager, said the sculpture "looked fantastic" and would put the area on the map. The sculpture was designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress. It is flame-shaped, to symbolise the amber glow from the ironworks, which the community called "the flame that never dies". "The sculpture aims to recreate that sense of atmosphere," the council said. "It is one of the tallest sculptures in the country." It added the ??130,000 sculpture was one metre (three feet) taller than the Angel of the North, Antony Gormley's acclaimed work in Gateshead. "This is a real red letter moment for Tunstall and Stoke-on-Trent," Mr Bailey said. "The sculpture looks absolutely fantastic and is going to put the area on the map. "A lot of people will still remember when the steelworks were here, know people who worked there and still picture how it was lit up at night because of the flames. "We want it to provoke fond memories of the area but also act as a landmark for hope and a bright future across the city." Four soldiers were killed by a nail bomb as they made their way to a Changing of the Guard ceremony at Horse Guards Parade on 20 July 1982. The 2014 murder trial of John Downey collapsed after it emerged he had been assured he would not be tried. Relatives now want to raise £620,000 for a civil prosecution of Mr Downey. Roy Bright, Dennis Daly, Simon Tipper and Geoffrey Young, all from the Royal Household Cavalry, were killed in the attack, which remains one of the most significant unsolved IRA bombings of the Troubles. Mr Downey, who was convicted of IRA membership in the 1970s, had been Scotland Yard's prime suspect for the bombing - but was not extradited from the Republic of Ireland at the time. In 2013, he was arrested at Gatwick Airport while en route to Greece, and was subsequently charged with the Hyde Park killings. Mr Downey, from County Donegal, denied murder and intending to cause an explosion likely to endanger life. However, his trial at the Old Bailey in central London was halted after it was revealed he had been given an assurance by the UK government that he was no longer wanted. The assurance was made as part of the controversial "on the runs" scheme. Giving his judgement on the case, Mr Justice Sweeney said Mr Downey had received an official letter in 2007 stating that he was not "wanted in Northern Ireland for arrest, questioning or charging by police". But the Police Service of Northern Ireland later admitted making a mistake by also assuring Mr Downey it was not "aware of any interest in you by any other police force", when he remained a suspect at Scotland Yard. The families of those killed in the bombing are now seeking the money to pay for a civil prosecution of Mr Downey, and held a march in London on Saturday to mark the 35th anniversary of the attack. Supporters marched from Kensington barracks to Wellington Arch in Hyde Park. Mark Tipper, whose teenage brother Trooper Simon Tipper was among those killed, said his families had never been given the chance to find out who carried out the attack. "My brother had only been married a week. It was his first duty back after honeymoon, he was just 19. Nobody could imagine what that poor bride felt like, and 35 years on I know she still hurts," he said. "If that letter had not have gone to Downey that trial would have continued and he would have been found either guilty or not guilty. "We as families were never given that chance. All we want to know is that if this man did it, he will be brought to justice." On the Runs - key questions History of the on the runs Cairns, 45, has denied charges of perjury and perverting the course of justice at the trial at Southwark Crown Court in London. Cairns is accused of falsely declaring under oath in a libel case in 2012 that he had never cheated at cricket. He is also accused of perverting the course of justice by inducing a fellow cricketer to give a false statement. In the 2012 libel case - England's first Twitter libel trial - Cairns won damages of $130,000 (£90,000) by successfully suing Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi over a tweet in January 2010 which accused the cricketer of match-fixing while playing for the Chandigarh Lions in the Indian Cricket League in 2008. The prosecution at his current trial argued that Cairns lied when he promised during the earlier trial that he had never cheated. During his trial Cairns has repeatedly denied allegations that he tried to coerce former teammates into fixing matches. Cairns is also accused of perverting the course of justice by inducing fellow cricketer Lou Vincent to give a false witness statement in a Skype call. Lou Vincent told the court that Cairns had approached him suggesting he deliberately play badly for the Chandigarh Lions and said he helped fix matches under "direct orders" from Cairns while playing for the Lions. Cairns denied the suggestion. Cairns's former adviser, Andrew Fitch-Holland, is also accused of perverting the course of justice. He denies the charge. The trial has heard evidence from a host of cricketers, including ex-Australia captain Ricky Ponting and current New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum, who said Cairns had approached him with a "business proposition" about match-fixing. But Ecowas leaders meeting in Liberia said the implications of its membership still needed to be considered before Morocco could formally join. King Mohammed VI was not at the summit because Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been invited. Morocco's application comes after it rejoined the African Union in January. Morocco left the continental body in 1984 after it recognised the independence of Western Sahara. Morocco regards Western Sahara as part of its historic territory and has spent much of the last three decades trying to strengthen ties with Europe at the expense of relations with Africa. Ivory Coast President Alasanne Ouattara has confirmed that the decision had been agreed in principle but the details still had to be worked out. Morocco, along with Tunisia which is seeking observer status with the organisation and Mauritania, which wants to return to the body, will be invited to the next meeting of heads of state in Togo in December, a senior Ecowas source told the BBC. Ecowas is made up of 15 West African nations, none of which shares a border with Morocco. Members enjoy free trade and movement of people. King Mohammed VI last week announced he would not be attending the summit in Liberia, because of the presence of Israel's prime minister. Morocco does not have diplomatic ties with Israel. Mr Netanyahu addressed West African leaders on Sunday saying: "Israel is coming back to Africa and Africa is coming back to Israel. "I believe in Africa. I believe in its potential, present and future. It is a continent on the rise." While in Liberia for the summit, his bodyguards scuffled with those of Togo's President Faure Gnassingbe, according to reports in the Israeli media. This trip comes nearly a year after Mr Netanyahu was in East Africa as part of his efforts to strengthen ties between the continent and Israel. They say the man, named as Sharif, died in a gun battle with police near the capital Dhaka early on Sunday. Police had been seeking information about Sharif and six other militants suspected in the case. Avijit Roy, an American-Bangladeshi blogger and writer, was hacked to death by several men as he returned from a Dhaka book fair in February last year. Who is behind the Bangladesh killings? Is violent extremism on the rise in Bangladesh? Sectarian terror fears grip Bangladesh He is one of several secularist figures killed by suspected Islamists in recent years in Bangladesh, in attacks that have received widespread international condemnation. In many cases the Islamic State group or al-Qaeda say they carried out the attacks, but the government has blamed local militants. Roy, 42, founded the Mukto-Mona ("Free Mind") blog in 2000 to champion secular and humanist writing in Muslim-majority Bangladesh. He had received death threats from Islamist radicals for his writings before his murder, family said. In the latest such attack, a Hindu college teacher was critically injured by men armed with knives at his home in the city of Manipur on Wednesday. A suspect in that case, Ghulam Faijullaha Fahim, was shot dead in the southern district of Madaripur on Saturday. He was in police custody when officers took him to help capture his associates, but died in the ensuing exchange of fire with the militants, officials say. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said her government will do whatever it takes to stop such attacks. Police have arrested thousands of people across the country over the past weeks. Marden Henge has been almost destroyed by ploughing and no longer has any standing stones, but encloses an area of 15 hectares (37 acres). A mound at the centre of the Wiltshire site still exists, which English Heritage archaeologists plan to spend six weeks delving into. "We certainly hope that this excavation will bring more pieces of the puzzle to light," said archaeologist Jim Leary. He added: "We are potentially looking at a much more intricate system of Neolithic ritual sites in this part of the world than we previously thought. "Marden Henge deserves to be understood more partly because of its size, but also due to its proximity to the more famous stone circles at Avebury and Stonehenge." Mrs Gauthier's mother and dozens of other relatives were among some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus who were killed in 100 days. Living and working in the French city of Reims, the couple have dedicated all their spare time to putting together evidence. They were inspired by the cases brought in Belgium against Rwandan fugitives and in 2001 set up an association - the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda. My wife is Rwandan and many of her relatives were killed during the genocide. It's true that fact was a determining factor in our mission. We are simply citizens with a conscience, as the presence of Rwandan genocide suspects in France is intolerable for the families of victims. So without any [legal] knowledge we started this work and research. Once we discovered a suspect in France, we were obliged to go to Rwanda to find witnesses - in order to make a case. Those witnesses were either survivors or the killers themselves - those freed having served their terms and those who were still in prison gave us the best information. Money has been a problem. In the beginning, we paid for our own travel, then the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda, which has about 150 members, helped us go. We have received some donations - but right now there is no real financial support. To find suspects, we have followed up leads from those who have told us that they suspected people in their area or university may have taken part in the genocide - this information arrived from different sources. Then it was up to us to verify it and if we had the means we'd go to Rwanda to investigate. It was a lot of work. For each case we have to go four or five times, staying often for two to four weeks. I'd go to Rwanda in all my holidays - I was a teacher until I recently retired. It required a lot of translation work, which my wife mostly did, and then we would give the information to our lawyers who would take several months to prepare documents to be accepted by the justice system. Amongst the suspects we have discovered are three doctors, a priest, a former governor - most of them are respected members of society. It's very difficult to know the true number of genocide suspects currently living in France - but so far we have filed complaints against about 25. Without the work of our organisation, the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda, and others who have helped us there would be no investigation of genocide suspects in France. There has been no help from the government. Then there's the work of the French justice system, which for a long time has dragged its feet and didn't have the means to pursue and investigate these people. That changed two years ago... but from the government there has been no help. Trying genocide suspects is an occasion to remember the French government's role in Rwanda in 1994. We think that there was on the part of that government, a diplomatic, financial and military complicity... so bringing that all up on French soil makes those formerly responsible uncomfortable - and some of them are still quite powerful. So it doesn't bring pleasure to anyone, and it's clear that until now we've received no support at all from the French political world. Pascal Simbikangwa is the first trial, which has come far too late. We just hope that it acts as a kind of incentive in French justice and that many others will soon be brought to trial. What we do, we do because we believe it is only justice that can give the victims who are no more the dignity that was taken away from them. We aim to do this "without hate or vengeance", to take the expression of the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. What motivates us is essentially giving victims back their dignity. The referendum is being watched closely by many leading players in the pharmaceutical industry who argue that a Brexit vote would be damaging for research and patient access. But some campaigners have argued that drugs could be made available more quickly if the UK votes to leave. Each EU member state has its own medical regulatory body, in the UK's case the Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Companies wanting to sell new drugs or devices in this country have to get them licensed by the MHRA. But an alternative route for major pharmaceutical companies is to get approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is a decentralised agency of the EU. Through this centralised procedure, companies can get the go-ahead for medicines to be marketed across all member states. Typically, manufacturers of drugs to treat cancer and rare diseases use this central approval route. The EMA is run by regulators from member states who staff its committees so there is input from across the EU for each approval. That means there does not need to be a separate national process and, once granted by the EMA, the centralised authorisation is valid both in member states and countries in the European Economic Area (EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The EMA is based in London. So what happens if there is a vote for the UK to leave? It seems certain that the EMA would move its headquarters out of London to an EU country. Some in the pharma world argue that this will in itself reduce the importance of this country in the eyes of the global drug companies. If the UK decides to negotiate to stay in the EEA there would not, in practice, be much difference to regulation. But if the UK stays out of the EEA, drug companies would need to go through a separate process with British regulators for new products as the centralised European route would not be applicable to the UK. Most leading players in the world of big pharma have come out in favour of Britain remaining in the EU, arguing that being outside the EMA process will deter manufacturers from selling some new drugs in this country. The other side of the argument is that Switzerland is not a member of the EEA and has a well-established pharma industry with big names such as Hoffman-La Roche and Novartis. Drug trials are currently carried out on a national level, with companies needing to approach each regulator and ethics committee separately. There is a move to harmonise this procedure across the EU over the next few years, allowing a single entry point for companies that wish to carry out trials of a new drug on patients in different countries. The Leave campaign argues that the existing EU Clinical Trials Directive has damaged medical research and innovation in the UK. The Commons Science and Technology Committee said in a recent report: "Weaknesses in the 2001 Clinical Trials Directive significantly increased the administrative burden and cost of running academic clinical trials and saw a reduction in trials taking place in Europe." But it went on to add that the new regulations due to take effect in 2018 appeared to be an improvement. The pharma industry argues that the UK is involved in about 40% of all adult rare diseases trials in the EU at present, but this would be undermined by a change of status. Being outside the EU, the industry claims, would mean the UK was not part of the harmonised procedure and so might lose out on some trials that might otherwise benefit patients. Officials at the National Eczema Society have said they have been informed by two US companies that trials of new treatments would not take place in the UK in the event of Brexit. But the EMA has been criticised for a bureaucratic and slow-moving process, which has not helped patients desperate for life-preserving drugs. Recent media reports suggested that European approval of a breast cancer drug, palbociclib, which helps the slow the development of tumours, had been held up at a time when US regulators had fast-tracked its adoption. The industry points out, however, that the approval documentation was submitted to EU regulators 10 months after the American Federal Drugs Administration. Few would disagree that the result of the referendum vote is important for drug companies and their products. Whatever the outcome, though, it could take years rather than months for the implications to become clear.

Local media report that Mr Janot also requested that current President Dilma Rousseff be investigated. The reports say she is suspected of obstructing the corruption inquiry. However, there has been no official confirmation yet of the request for investigation of President Rousseff. Mr Janot accused Lula of playing a key role in the huge corruption scandal at the state oil company, Petrobras. He said the corruption could not have taken place without the participation of the former leader. Lula, who was in office between 2003 and 2011, denies the allegations. Lula returned to frontline politics in March, when President Dilma Rousseff nominated him as her chief of staff. But within an hour of being sworn in, a judge suspended his nomination saying it had been aimed at protecting him from possible prosecution on corruption charges. Under Brazilian law, members of the cabinet can only be investigated by the country's top court, the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether he can take up his post. The former president was previously accused of getting a penthouse flat in favourable conditions from a building company involved in the Petrobras scandal. But the accusations filed now by the Brazilian attorney general are much more serious. Mr Janot said Lula and other senior politicians conspired to create a scheme that siphoned off vast amounts of money from Petrobras. He requested authorisation to investigate Lula and 29 other senior politicians, officials and businessmen. The speaker of the lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha - a former government ally who is now in the opposition - and ministers from President Dilma Rousseff's cabinet are on Mr Janot's list. Prosecutors say the corruption scheme is estimated to have cost the company more than $2bn (£1.45bn). Part of the money was used to finance the electoral campaign of top Brazilian politicians, they allege. The accusations are part of Operation Car Wash, which was launched two years ago by a group of prosecutors focusing initially on money laundering. Their investigations led them to allegations of a complex corruption scheme at Petrobras. Several politicians and Petrobras executives have been arrested and sentenced. Some of them have agreed to testify against other suspects in exchange for more lenient sentences, taking the investigation to a new level. Until now, 39 people were being officially investigated in Operation Car Wash. Mr Janot has asked for the inclusion of another 30 names on that list. He has acted on new information from suspects who agreed to a plea bargain, Brazilian media reported. On Monday, Mr Janot requested authorization to investigate prominent opposition leader and former presidential candidate Senator Aecio Neves. He has been accused of receiving bribes from officials at the state electric company, Furnas. Mr Neves has rejected the allegations. Ms Rousseff, who defeated Mr Neves by a narrow margin in 2014, was head of the Petrobras board of directors when much of the corruption took place, but she is not facing any official accusations against her. We do not like science very much in this country. We prefer to ascribe spiritual and miraculous explanations to all things that happen in our lives. Accidents, deaths, ill health, passing and failing exams, finding a partner, wealth, poverty, good fortune - none of them have scientific explanations. The rest of the world has probably heard that Ghana has successfully launched its first satellite into space. It certainly made headlines on the BBC, but you would have missed it completely if you were depending on the news outlets in our country. I concede I have not been following the news very keenly in the past three weeks, for reasons we had better not get into, and therefore would admit it was likely I would miss some stories. But I imagined the launch of our first satellite would be such big news it was unlikely to pass me by. When I heard the news on BBC radio I immediately switched to a local station, but there was no mention of the story. I checked the websites of my favourite local stations and there was no mention. When the story eventually appeared, it was to report that President Nana Akufo-Addo had congratulated the All Nations University on the launch of GhanaSat-1. The next morning there was no mention of the story in either of the two widely-read daily newspapers that I buy. There was nothing vaguely interesting or attractive about the story as reported on their websites either. It was obvious that apart from the official congratulatory statement there was no local flavour to the story as carried in the Ghanaian media for the first three days. The language of the reports sounded like scientific mumbo-jumbo to be understood only by nerdy scientists. Elizabeth Ohene: I had dared to even imagine that maths and science were getting a grip on the popular imagination Here is a statement from the report on the website of one of our local radio stations: "Ghanasat-1 is of Cube Standard shape with a dimension of 100mm x 100 mm and was launched by Nasa to the International Space Station via Space X CRS Flight 11 on 3 June, 2017 at the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, USA and then released into orbit using Japan KIBO on board the ISS." Make of that what you will but I certainly could not understand a word of it. There was no mention that All Nations University in Koforidua is not exactly one of the fancy universities in Ghana. There was no word about the $500,000 (£380,000) reported cost of the project, the kind of money that is routinely reported as embezzled by officials. I must say that social media did its bit and there was enthusiasm on Facebook and Twitter about the launch but it took until Monday morning for the newspapers and many of the radio stations to wake up to the story after the launch on Friday morning. I confess I was saddened and put it all down to our national antipathy towards science and maths. And yet the week before, the entire country had been caught up in genuine excitement over the National and Science and Maths Quiz. This is an annual quiz contested by secondary schools and this year it had been particularly keen. I was caught up in the general enthusiasm that greeted the competition and I had dared to even imagine that maths and science were getting a grip on the popular imagination and would eventually manifest in our everyday lives. The final between three schools was carried live on radio and television and the viewing and audience figures challenged the most popular telenovelas on our television sets. But I am cheering up slowly and something tells me that the local media will catch up and accord the satellite launch story the importance it deserves. The project coordinator of the launch has certainly hit the right note by placing the satellite right in the midst of the things that currently capture the imagination of the people. He says the satellite will be used to monitor illegal mining, or galamsey as we call it. Galamsey guarantees the front page. The satellite might not have made it to the front pages on its launch but if it is going to monitor illegal mining, then GhanaSat-1 is guaranteed to stay on the front pages forever. We might yet accord science the importance it deserves. More from Elizabeth Ohene: Follow us on Twitter @BBCAfrica, on Facebook at BBC Africa, on Instagram at bbcafrica or email africalive@bbc.co.uk Juan Mendez accused the Bahraini government of trying to "avoid responsibility" for the postponement. The country's official news agency said the trip was called off "until further notice", but Mr Mendez said it was "effectively a cancellation". The Gulf kingdom has been wracked by civil unrest for two years. The violence has left at least 50 people dead. Mr Mendez refuted a Bahraini media statement that claimed he had "put off" his visit. "Let me be clear," he said, "this was a unilateral decision by the authorities. Unfortunately, it is not the first time the Government has tried to avoid responsibility for the postponement of my visit, which was originally supposed to take place over a year ago." On Monday, a spokesperson in the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) told the BBC the decision was "disappointing". He said FCO minister Alistair Burt, had raised the issue with the Bahraini government "stressing the importance we and the international community place on the visit". He added: "We hope that a new date for this visit can be found soon." The comments come just days after the release of a US State Department report on human rights in Bahrain which spoke of "significant" violations including torture in detention. The report spoke of "serious human rights problems", including "citizens' inability to change their government peacefully; arrest and detention of protesters on vague charges, in some cases leading to their torture in detention; and lack of due process in trials of political and human rights activists". The US ambassador was summoned to a meeting with Bahrain's Foreign Minister Khalid ibn Ahmad Al Khalifa on Monday. Mr Al Khalifa is said to have expressed his dismay with the report. The ministry said the report "lacks objectivity and impartiality and has overlooked Bahrain's progress in protecting and promoting human rights". However Mr Mendez said the decision to postpone his visit did not "demonstrate a commitment to redress impunity regarding any violations". The special rapporteur called on the Bahraini government to "honour its commitments" and spoke of his "compassion with the people of Bahrain who were expecting my visit, and in particular, victims of torture and ill-treatment and their families". Saints were the better side at the LFF Stadium in Vilnius, but Maksim Maksimov's late strike added to his side's 2-1 first-leg win in Perth. Joe Shaughnessy had two first-half headers well saved by goalkeeper Ignas Plukas and missed badly in the second. And Saints could not take advantage when Arunas Klimavicius was sent off. It is Trakai, who lie second in the Lithuanian top flight after 16 games, 10 points behind reigning champions Zalgiris, who will face Norrkoping of Sweden in the next round. Saints manager Tommy Wright had lamented his side's technical inferiority in the first leg, but that was never evident in the second leg against a side bolstered with greater match sharpness thanks to being halfway through their domestic season. Alyaksander Bychanok was presented with a chance to virtually kill the tie in the opening minutes after Chris Millar was short with a header. But the midfielder's chip over goalkeeper Zander Clark spun wide and that was virtually the only threat from the home side during the opening 45 minutes. Olegas Vasilenko had admitted his surprise at leaving Perth with his first-ever victory as a coach in European competition, but his promise not to simply protect the one-goal lead - and to attack the Scots - never materialised. Wright had made five changes to his starting line-up and, despite dropping Steven MacLean to the bench because of the continuing medical advice not to play the top scorer on artificial surfaces, his revamped side were looking the more dangerous side. Shaughnessy had scored Saints equaliser in Perth and the big central defender came close twice. His header from Liam Craig's floated free-kick was touched over the crossbar by Plukas and the goalkeeper was again on hand to deny the Irishman from the corner. Team-mate Chris Kane should have done better than lob weakly at Plukas after latching on to a long ball over the home defence and then had an appeal for a penalty waved away by Bulgarian referee Stanislav Todorov after claiming an elbow had been used. St Johnstone were dominating possession as Trakai were content to play on the break and home central defender Klimavicius was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card after hauling down Callum Davidson as the midfielder marauded towards goal, but Blair Alston curled the resulting free-kick wastefully wide. Trakai, with veteran former Hearts midfielder Deividas Cesnauskis starting in place of Vaidotas Silenas, who was sent off after scoring the winner in Perth, would have been satisfied to have reached half-time level on the night. However, it was the home side who started the more positive after the break until captain Klimavicius was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card for a challenge on Kane. Saints now had more than half an hour to score the two goals needed to progress but should have taken advantage immediately. Shaughnessy, though, headed wide of the far post when found unmarked by Alston 15 yards from goal. Wright threw caution to the wind by sacrificing defensive midfielder Millar and throwing on MacLean for his first appearance on an artificial pitch for two years. Trakai scrambled clear everything thrown into their penalty box by visitors with more huff and puff than gunpowder and Maksimov threatened twice at the other end on the break before killing off the tie. The 21-year-old Russian striker, who had opened the scoring in Perth, latched on to a fine ball through the centre of the Saints defence before a composed side-foot finish past goalkeeper Clark to secure his side's second-ever victory in European competition. The Dons will face CS Fola Esch of Luxembourg in the first qualifying round later this month. Awaiting the winners of that tie are Lithuanian side FK Ventspils or Vikingur from the Faroe Islands. "Once we watch them, we'll be able to say whether it's a good draw or not but we're pleased from a travelling aspect," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "As it stands, it could have been a lot more difficult." Aberdeen were in Macedonia, Croatia and Kazakhstan in last season's qualifiers, losing at the third round stage to Kairat. McInnes's side are at home for the first leg on 30 June against a side that are yet to win in 10 previous European ties. "I don't really see home or away first as an issue," said McInnes. "Hopefully, we can go and prove we are a better side at home and away." The Aberdeen boss is also confident he will be well informed on CS Fola Esch by the time the teams meet. "They have a pre-season game tomorrow and another on Saturday, so we'll get out to watch them twice," he revealed. "It's important to get an idea of their team shape and individual players. "They got a good result with 1-1 away to Dinamo Zagreb with 10 men [in last season's Champions League qualifiers], so that shows they are capable. "We had a closed doors game today and will have a couple more friendlies before the first leg." Aberdeen are likely to be without Niall McGinn, who is on Euro 2016 duty with Northern Ireland and McInnes confirmed that striker Miles Storey will not complete his move from Swindon until 1 July. "We still have the potential to maybe sign one more before the game," said the manager. "If not, I'm confident we can get the job done with the squad we have." The Dons made a strong start to last year's league campaign, winning their first eight matches, but McInnes wants more from Europe than a few warm-up matches. "We look at it as an opportunity to do well," he said. "We've enjoyed the last couple of years. We've had some big results and brilliant nights. "Financially, the club has benefitted and the players have gained good experience, while the supporters have had some good trips and good memories. "We want to make every European campaign worthwhile." Infantino's visit to Uganda followed his trips to Zimbabwe and South Africa earlier in the week. "I decided to make Africa a big priority since I came to office last year. I started this by appointing an African woman as the Fifa secretary general in Fatma Samoura," said Infantino whilst addressing football stakeholders in Kampala. "Africa has the talent and passion for the game of football and this is a very big advantage," Infantino added. On Friday night, Infantino met the Uganda President, Yoweri Museveni at State House, and then met Uganda FA delegates on Saturday. He later watched an Under-17 game between KCCA FC and Lweza FC before heading to Rubaga to open a new sports training facility. Infantino promised that more investment would be made in Africa by Fifa whilst he is in office, starting from this year. "Africa will see the benefits of football development from Fifa and I hope we can have a world champion from this continent," he said. The Fifa president also reiterated his stance that he has no influence on next month's Confederation of African Football presidential elections which will be held in Ethiopia. The Uganda FA President thanked Infantino for travelling to Uganda and asked him to come again in the future to see further football development. The Fifa boss later travelled to Kigali, Rwanda where he was expected to launch a football development project. Media playback is not supported on this device North, 22, appeared to be knocked out after clashing heads with team-mate Richard Hibbard in Cardiff. Mathema said Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) medics will have access to video replays at future matches. Media playback is not supported on this device "Having seen it since, he should definitely have been removed," he said. "At that moment it was clear to see that he had a momentary loss of consciousness and, because of that, irrespective of him having no signs or symptoms, we've been dealing with George North as a concussion. "We've seen where our protocols need to improve." North has passed all tests for concussion and could play against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday. The Northampton player left the field for eight minutes during the first half after receiving an accidental kick to the head, but was allowed to resume playing after showing no sign of concussion. The incident with Hibbard was picked up by television cameras but was not seen by the Welsh Rugby Union medical staff, who did not have access to a video feed. Media playback is not supported on this device "All I saw was George North getting up off his knees when I arrived at the scene," said Mathema, who was pitch-side at the time. "He was completely lucid and conversing spontaneously with me. At that time I deemed him fit to play." Mathema said the WRU has responded to a request from World Rugby, the sport's governing body, for an explanation of North's treatment. A decision on whether North will be available against Scotland, who lost their opening game 15-8 in France, will be made by Wales this weekend. Mathema added: "Today he has been evaluated and he has shown no signs of any concussion and, because of that, he's started his return-to-play protocol already and there's been no issues. "He has to go through that process for the rest of the week, having a step-by-step increase in his activity." The Irish laboured to an unconvincing 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Georgia on Thursday and face Moldova in Chisnau on Sunday (19:45 BST). "It's not a case of raising ourselves against better opposition," he said. "We can play better, we know that - we did this in France." The Republic lie level on points with Wales, Serbia and Austria in Group D after a performance against the Georgians which the manager admitted was not up to scratch, particularly in the first half. The former Celtic boss says that it is only a matter of months since his team was mixing with Europe's best at Euro 2016. "We're not the type of team that is going to wipe the floor with people, we have to fight for everything, we know that ourselves. "Everybody goes through these periods, even teams like, for instance, Portugal. "Portugal won the competition, went out and then lost to Switzerland. Things like this happen. "We have to try to raise ourselves again for this. It's a big game for us and obviously the result is the most important thing." The Irish performed well in France in the summer, reaching the last 16 by beating Italy in their final group game, before being edged out by the hosts in the knockout stages. "It's only a couple of months ago since we played brilliantly against Sweden and brilliantly against Italy, beating Italy - and we should have beaten Sweden. "For a long period, we had France... you would have to say they were extremely concerned about us. "Those are a couple of months ago. We have played two games in this: we have gone to Serbia and drawn against Serbia, a top-class side, and we haven't played very well at home in a game, and that can happen. "These things are forgotten about." On paper at least, Ireland should add another three points to their tally in Moldova, who are ranked 130 places below them by Fifa. Igor Dobrovolski's men have lost 4-0 in Wales and 3-0 at home to Serbia in their opening two fixtures, but O'Neill, while welcoming increased expectation, is taking nothing for granted as he anticipates potential pitfalls. "These games are tough, they are really tough matches for us. You are talking about top-level football, so it's going to be hard for us. "There has been a togetherness that we've had over the last few seasons. We did qualify for a competition and now the expectation is high - that's good, I'm pleased with it. "I'm delighted with the expectation being high and we have to try to live up to that ourselves." O'Neill's task at the Stadionul Zimbru will be complicated by the absence of Jeff Hendrick through suspension and Robbie Brady because of injury, but he is confident he has the players to plug a sizeable gap. He said: "It will be a blow for us, the two of them out at the same time. But that's the way it goes, so we have other players to come in and hopefully they will fill those gaps for us and go and perform." Freestyle hope work on Parc Kronberg in Aberystwyth, which already has planning consent, will finish by summer 2017. The firm said the community park is unique in that it will include pathways forming an entrance to the town. It follows a seven-year consultation with more than 2,000 people. About £400,000 has been confirmed in big lottery funding, with Aberystwyth Town Council providing a further £100,000. Chris Taylor from Freestyle said: "We are all just incredibly excited - it's a UK first because it's not just a skate park, it's a community park. "We have designed it in such a way that skaters, riders and the community can mix as much as they want. "The skaters wanted to be interacting, and the public wanted to be closer to the youths using it too." The project includes a play area, climbing wall, riverside viewing, cycle and footpaths and community seating areas as well as spaces for skating. Dentist Dr Helen Nicoll, 53, was found in Great Wilbraham at about 06:30 BST on Friday. Officers said they were treating her death as "unexplained pending further tests and inquiries". A 53-year-old man from south Cambridgeshire, arrested in connection with the death, was released with no further action and his bail cancelled. A police spokesman said further tests would be carried out "to provide clarity over the circumstances of her death". The case had been passed to the coroner, he said. Mrs Nicoll lived at the property in Frog End with her husband, Stephen Nicoll, 53, also a dentist, with a practice in Harley Street. Neighbours described them as a "loving but private" couple. Ms Dyer, who retired as chief executive of the prosecution service in March, will lead the in-depth review, which was announced in February. Education Secretary John Swinney confirmed her appointment at a child protection summit in Perth. Politicians, police and council bosses have come together for the conference. Child protection professionals from across Scotland are taking part in discussions and group work at the event, which was set up as one of the recommendations of the Brock Report, a child protection study published in November 2014. Mr Swinney and Health Secretary Shona Robison both gave speeches at the event. The deputy first minister said the "long-standing" event was set up before issues such as the Liam Fee case were raised, although it was discussed in speeches. He added: "Child protection is the responsibility of every person in society, but we must also accept that those of us in leadership positions over services charged with child protection, bear a particular responsibility. "An essential part of the child protection improvement programme is a review of policy, practice, services and structures so that we can identify strengths, achievements and priorities for change. "We will look at child protection committees, initial case reviews, significant case reviews and the child protection register to ensure that they work together to create a holistic, coherent and responsive child protection system that optimises outcomes for children." Mr Swinney said Ms Dyer would bring "expertise, experience and independence" to the review from her time as chief executive of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. She worked as Crown Agent, the civil service head of legal staff in the Crown Office, who works as a legal advisor to the Lord Advocate on prosecution matters. Mr Swinney previously told BBC Scotland the government was working as quickly as possible to implement the recommendations of the Brock Report, as well as the Daniel Report from 2012. The deputy first minister said the conclusions of the current review of child protection arrangements would "become clear towards the end of the year". Speaking since the verdict in the Liam Fee case was delivered on Tuesday, some social workers have said that their caseloads have grown. Some have said they are spending 80% of their time on paperwork and only 20% dealing face-to-face with the families that need their help. Concerns have also been raised about the government's controversial named person scheme, which is due to be rolled out across Scotland later this year. Highland Council has been running the initiative for eight years. Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Scotland radio programme, director of care and learning at the council, Bill Alexander, said the aim of the scheme was to give families a single point of contact for advice. "What's important to most families is not a social worker, they don't want social workers in their lives. They wanted a single point of contact if they wanted advice or if they had a concern about their child's well-being," he said. "The Scottish government adopted this only because families said it was important to them." Mr Alexander added: "What that has meant is that more families in Highland...have had that early support. "That's meant that need has not escalated for many families and therefore the number of children being referred to the children's reporter has reduced, the number of children being looked after has reduced, and significantly in relation to this issue, the number of children deemed to be at risk of significant harm has also reduced." Emmerdale, EastEnders, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks were examined over a two-week period. The study also looked at exercising, drinking water and healthy eating. Emmerdale characters managed to consume 46 alcoholic drinks during the research period, with Coronation Street not far behind on 40 beverages. In a statement, a spokesperson for Emmerdale said it was a "small community", adding: "Characters regularly meet in the pub where the focus is on story as opposed to alcohol intake. We present a balanced view of alcohol as we take our responsibilities for portraying alcohol consumption seriously." Hollyoaks was named the healthiest UK soap overall, while EastEnders came second, followed by Emmerdale in third and Coronation Street in fourth spot. In total, 48% of activity in Hollyoaks was considered healthy, with EastEnders on 36%, Emmerdale on 18%, and Coronation Street on 15%. The Hollyoaks characters were the most active, with characters sitting down for just 15% of the episodes compared with Coronation Street's cast, who spent 31% on the couch. EastEnders characters enjoyed the most nights out, with 11 in total, while there were no evenings out on the town on Coronation Street. Corrie's characters also consumed the most takeaways, while Emmerdale consumed the least. A spokesperson for Coronation Street said: "We present a balanced view of alcohol consumption, healthy eating and the lifestyles of our characters as we take our responsibilities for these issues seriously. Characters do frequent the pub but we also see them engaging in exercise and we have explored lifestyle related health issues through many different storylines." Lee Matthews of Fitness First, which conducted the study, said: "While studying Hollyoaks, we saw that despite there being three big nights out, there were zero instances of smoking shown on screen. In comparison there were 13 instances of jogging, walking and playing a sport. "Hollyoaks has demonstrated perfectly that we can play hard and still incorporate healthy habits along the way." The show is aimed at a younger audience than the other soaps, which is reflected in its earlier broadcasting timeslot.

One officer was shot in the face and one in the shoulder, St Louis County police chief Jon Belmar said. Both suffered "very serious gunshot injuries" but were conscious, he said. They were shot during a demonstration after the resignation of Ferguson's police chief, which followed a report alleging racial bias in his department. Protesters had gathered outside Ferguson police headquarters late on Wednesday, in what was a relatively low-key demonstration. But at about midnight at least three shots were fired as the crowd of protesters was starting to break up, Mr Belmar said. Several witnesses said the shots had come from a hill on the other side of the street from the crowd of protesters. In a press conference on Thursday, Mr Belmar said the shots were fired from about 125yds (114m) away, but he did not specify from which direction. "We were very close to having what happened in New York last year," Mr Belmar said, referring to two police officers shot and killed while on duty. He said he thought it was a "miracle" that such an incident had not occurred during earlier protests in Ferguson. He also said he would "have to imagine" that some protesters "were among the shooters". Detectives were still investigating who was responsible, and no-one had been arrested. The St Louis County police chief said after hearing the gunshots many officers had drawn their weapons but no-one had fired. One protester, Keith Rose, said he saw an officer "covered in blood", and that other officers were carrying and dragging him, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. Demonstrators were calling for further action to be taken over the federal report, and for more resignations in the police department, Mr Rose said. In the hours after the policemen were shot, use of the hashtag #BlueLivesMatter spiked on Twitter, driven by self-identified supporters of gun rights and other conservative causes, as well as supporters of the police. Police chief Thomas Jackson was the sixth Ferguson official to be fired or step down. He had initially resisted calls from protesters and some state leaders to resign. Mr Jackson was widely criticised after the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in August and the weeks of demonstrations that followed. How Ferguson unrest spread Report on Ferguson police report - key findings Brown's killing was one of several recent cases around the US in which the deaths of black men at the hands of the police have triggered protests. In November, a St Louis County grand jury found that white police officer Darren Wilson did not break any laws when he shot Brown. However, Brown's shooting and the riots that followed spurred a federal investigation. It found overwhelming racial bias in the town's policing practices, though Darren Wilson was cleared of civil rights violations. The report noted public officials regularly made tickets and other minor violations "go away" for white friends, while some black residents spent nights in jail for non-payment of fines. 93% of people arrested are African Americans, whereas only: 67% of Ferguson population is black 96% of people arrested for outstanding municipal warrants are African American 95% of "Manner of walking in roadway" charges were against black people 90% of documented force was against African Americans 30% of searches of white suspects resulted in a contraband finding - compared with 24% of black suspects A local Democratic party leader, Patricia Bynes, said "a lot of anger" had built up in Ferguson because more action had not been taken sooner. The names of the two officers wounded on Thursday have not been released. The one shot in the face, under his right eye, is a 32-year-old from a police department in another St Louis suburb, Webster Groves, and the other a 41-year-old from St Louis County police department. Corey Whitely and Fejiri Okenabirhie's pace were constant threats in a dominant opening period for the Daggers but it was the visitors who took the lead under controversial circumstances just before the 30-minute mark. Omar Bugiel worked his way into the Dagenham box with some wonderful trickery before being felled by the challenge of Mark Cousins - the German forward drawing contact with the on-rushing goalkeeper - to earn his side a penalty, which captain Liam Noble drilled into the bottom corner to put Rovers ahead. But the hosts went into the break level as Jordan Maguire-Drew pounced onto a flicked header from Paul Benson to fire in an equaliser in first half stoppage-time for his 15th league goal of the season. Okenabirhie spurned a decent opportunity after the restart but clear-cut chances were at a premium with both sides happy to remain all-square ahead of the second leg.

Some 3,740 people died until 23 October, a number that is set to rise as the two worst months are yet to come. Last year's death toll was 3,771. This comes despite a sharp decline on the number of people crossing the Mediterranean this year. The UN believes smugglers are changing their tactics, using riskier routes. One of every 47 migrants or refugees attempting the voyage between Libya and Italy is dying, said William Spindler, spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. "This is by far the worse we ever have seen in the Mediterranean," he told journalists in Geneva. "We can say the death rate has increased threefold." There were 327,800 crossings this year, against more than one million in 2015, UN numbers showed. Smugglers, the UN says, are organising more crossings in very bad weather and staging mass embarkations, in which thousands of people in flimsy boats set off at the same time. This means that if they do run into trouble, rescue services cannot possibly save them all. "Smuggling has become a big business, it's being done almost on an industrial scale," Mr Splinder added. "So now they send several boats at the same time and that puts rescue services in difficulty because they need to rescue several thousand people on several hundred boats," he said. An agreement between Turkey and the European Union to halt migrants from travelling to Greek islands has drastically reduced the number of boat arrivals there. But there has been a traffic increase on the highly perilous journey between North Africa and Italy. On Monday, the Italian coastguard said it recovered the bodies of 16 people during 21 rescue missions. Some 2,200 migrants were saved from 18 rubber boats. Unionists complained after masked men paraded through Lurgan on Saturday and marchers wore paramilitary-style uniform in Coalisland on Sunday. Officers are examining "suspected breaches of Parades Commission determinations in Coalisland". They are investigating "un-notified processions in Ardoyne and Lurgan". During the Lurgan parade, masked republicans marched from the Kilwilkie estate to St Colman's Cemetery in the town. Police said they were not notified of the event. Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) councillor Carla Lockhart said it was "deeply concerning". "It is certainly very worrying, we are in a new Northern Ireland, this is unacceptable behaviour and I have been in contact with the PSNI who will be investigating this incident," she said. "It is very worrying to see masked men walking through the streets of Lurgan." The TUV's Roy Ferguson said the parade was a "totally unacceptable state of affairs" and he would be "contacting the PSNI to demand an explanation as to why the terrorist show of strength was permitted to take place and how they propose to bring those involved before the courts". On Sunday about 50 people in paramilitary-style uniforms led a parade associated with dissident republicans in Coalisland. In a statement, ACC Stephen Martin said: "In policing all events over the Easter weekend our overriding desire is to ensure that commemorative occasions, parades and protests pass off lawfully and peacefully. "Our focus is on keeping communities safe and our job, with a few notable exceptions, has been made that much easier because of the responsible attitude of all parties concerned. "We are however, investigating suspected breaches of Parades Commission determinations in Coalisland and un-notified processions in Ardoyne and Lurgan. We have gathered evidence at these events and will present reports to the Public Prosecution Service with a view to holding individuals accountable."

On Wednesday, Jean-Claude Juncker met with a group of MEPs. Mr Juncker told them he was "in favour of democratic expressions" and would respect Scotland's decision. However, in answer to a question about Catalonia and Scotland joining the EU, he said "one does not become a member of the EU by writing a letter". Mr Juncker was questioned about his position on the Scottish independence referendum, due to take place in September, by Catalan MEP Josep Maria Terricabras. The official is reported to have said: "I am in favour of democratic expressions, but I'm not so arrogant to pre-empt the debate. "I will respect the result of Scotland's referendum." He added: "One does not become a member of the EU by sending a letter." In a later meeting, Mr Juncker was asked by Scottish UKIP MEP, David Coburn, whether an independent Scotland would remain in the EU. Mr Juncker replied: "I have to say that of course it's up to the UK to deal with this question. "Mr Van Rompuy and Mr Barroso have already answered the questions about EU membership. I have nothing to add." In February, the current EU Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, said an independent Scotland's entry to the EU would be "extremely difficult". He said: "In case there is a new country, a new state, coming out of a current member state it will have to apply. "Of course it will be extremely difficult to get the approval of all the other member states to have a new member coming from one member state." Alyn Smyth, SNP MEP who attended the meeting with Mr Juncker, said the comments showed "refreshing common sense". Mr Smyth said: "Mr Juncker is playing it straight. "He's shown he will respect the democratic process, and then deal with the choice of the people of Scotland. He added: "We can do business with Mr Juncker, which is more than can be said for his predecessor." A Better Together spokesman said: "The facts are clear - if we leave the UK then we would need to reapply to join the EU, on terms much less favourable to those we enjoy today. "As part of the UK we have special EU deals that would be put at risk if we went our separate ways. Where is the sense in putting that at risk?" Mr Juncker is expected to become president of the EU Commission in November.

The president-designate of the EU Commission is reported to have said he would respect the result of Scotland's referendum.

Developers behind the Circuit of Wales scheme in Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, are said to be asking the Welsh and UK governments to commit up to £50m. Silverstone's MD has written to the prime minister to intervene. Planning issues have delayed the start of work at the site. Heads of the Valleys Development Company wants to create 6,000 jobs and bring 750,000 visitors a year to the area as part of its plans but doubts have been raised over the number of jobs claimed. The development promises to transform one of Wales' most deprived communities. Alongside the racing circuit, there are plans for hotels, a grandstand, a technology park and a solar park. But those projects all rely on the racetrack going ahead. The Circuit of Wales would host all motor racing events except Formula 1. A spokesperson for Silverstone confirmed on Monday that its managing director Richard Phillips had written to Mr Cameron about funding for the Circuit of Wales. The letter said: "An injection of funds by the Welsh and/or UK governments to the Circuit of Wales project would amount to a transfer of state resources, which gives Circuit of Wales an economic and selective advantage over other circuits. As such, it could amount to illegal state aid. "There are a number of well-established, privately funded circuits in the UK, including Wales, that feel that the British motor sport industry would be threatened by the addition of a government-funded circuit." A statement added: "Silverstone has no objection to competition between UK circuits, but it has to be a level playing field. "Silverstone reiterates that it is sympathetic to the economic situation in Ebbw Vale, but motor sport at circuit level is not particularly profitable and is often loss-making. "Many UK circuits are under-utilised and struggle for revenue. It is unrealistic to suggest Circuit of Wales will be the exception." Downing Street confirmed a letter had been received from Silverstone regarding the Circuit of Wales. Nick Smith, Labour MP for Blaenau Gwent, said Silverstone had received local and UK government funding, and said its objection "feels a bit like the pot calling the kettle black". He said potential public funding for the Circuit of Wales "should be treated on its own merits", adding: "What wouldn't be fair would be if assistance for the Circuit of Wales were stymied by the self-interest of a competitor such as Silverstone." The Association of Motor Racing Circuit Owners, which represents 17 UK race tracks, said last summer the circuit would harm motorsport. Developers have asked both the Welsh and UK governments for up to £50m in total towards the scheme, it was revealed this month. BBC Wales understands the Welsh government is considering investing £30m in the project. The Welsh government told BBC Wales on Monday the Circuit of Wales had not asked it for money. A spokesperson said: "Apart from an initial grant to fund the early stages of project development there has been no request or offer for any funding support for this project." Michael Carrick, chief executive of the Heads of the Valleys Development Company, said they were disappointed with the letter's contents, adding: "It sounds like Silverstone is resistant to investment within the automotive sector which is vital to its continued growth and development in the UK. "The suggestion of 'illegal state aid' made by Silverstone also highlights they do not understand the basic process of applying for state funding of this nature." He said the Welsh government and the Blaenau Gwent community understood and supported the Circuit of Wales "both as a catalyst for economic growth and as a venue for world-class sporting entertainment". "The Circuit of Wales is a unique investment opportunity - a development designed to meet the public's expectations of a modern sporting venue and the commercial imperative to deliver a business hub that will sustain and support the British motorsport industry," he added. A key part of the racing circuit development involves securing the rights to host MotoGP - the motorbike racing equivalent of Formula 1 - which attracts global audiences of up to 300 million. The company has said it aims to build the circuit in time to host the prestigious event in September 2015 but it is understood no deal has yet been signed. It was hoped that building work could start on the site last December but there have been delays because of planning issues. The circuit is being built on 332 hectares (820 acres) of common land so the company has to deregister it, find an equivalent amount of land elsewhere and re-register that as common land. The Planning Inspectorate for Wales said the process could take almost a year to complete. She was previously flown from the island to Australia to have an abortion, but was flown back without having had it, a few days later. Authorities said she changed her mind about the procedure, but the woman, known as Abyan, denied this. Australia refuses to accept refugees attempting to reach it by boat. They are kept in camps in Nauru and Papua New Guinea while their claims are processed. Even those found to be genuine refugees are resettled outside Australia. Abortion is legal but heavily restricted on both Nauru and Papua New Guinea, hence the need for the woman to fly to Australia. Earlier on Wednesday, the United Nations urged Australia to provide "a decent option" for the woman, who it said was "in a very fragile mental and physical condition". The Australian government says it will provide counselling when she is in the country, though it declined to be specific on when that might be. Abyan's lawyers said she was returned to Nauru the first time just for wanting counselling and more time to make up her mind, not because she had decided against an abortion. The head of the Australian Human Rights Commission described the case as "extraordinary". It comes as the Philippines says it will not accept refugees sent by Australia unless they are only there temporarily. President Benigno Aquino, responding to an Australian proposal to resettle refugees in the country, pointed out that his country was far more populous than Australia and had difficulties providing for its own population. Australia is one of the world's richest countries, whereas roughly a quarter of the Philippines' approximately 100 million people live in deep poverty. Mr Aquino also noted that after the Philippines agreed to host Vietnam War refugees temporarily in the 1970s, hundreds of thousands ended up staying for many years. Australia currently has an multi-million dollar agreement with another developing nation, Cambodia, to resettle refugees there. But so far only four have made the move, despite offers of cash and free accommodation. The Local Government Association says councils are now providing temporary housing for 120,540 children with their families. It says the growth rate - equivalent to an extra secondary school's worth of children per month - is unsustainable. The government said the figures were a worry but still below the peak of 2006. Based on the latest figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government from March 2017, the figures show a net increase of 32,650 (37%) since the second quarter of 2014 - an average of 906 extra children every month - just 40 fewer than the number of pupils in the average secondary school. Councils say the net cost of providing temporary accommodation has tripled in the last three years, as the extra demand for places increases pressure on local government. And the LGA, which represents 350 councils in England, says councils need to be able to build more genuinely affordable homes and provide the support that reduces the risk of homelessness in the first place. This means councils being able to borrow to build and to keep 100% of the receipts of any home they sell to reinvest in new and existing housing. Council leaders are also calling for an adaption to the implementation of welfare reforms to reduce the risk of homelessness and for access to funding to provide settled accommodation for families that become homeless. Councillor Martin Tett, the association's housing spokesman, said: "Whilst the government's indication [that] it will explore ways to enable councils to build more homes is encouraging, these new homes can't appear overnight, and the demand is urgent. "Councils are working hard to tackle homelessness, with some truly innovative work around the country - and we now need the government to support this local effort by allowing councils to invest in building genuinely affordable homes and taking steps to adapt welfare reforms to ensure housing remains affordable for low-income families." The LGA sets out the lengths that councils are going to in order to tackle homelessness in their area in a new report. Examples include innovative modular housing, dynamic purchasing systems and offers of housing in private rented sector. A DCMG spokesman said: "We're clear that whilst temporary accommodation is vital in making sure that no family is without a roof over their head, councils have a responsibility to find secure good quality accommodation as quickly as possible. "This government is determined to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping - that's why we're investing £550m to help tackle the issue." Dozens of tyres and pallets have been left in the middle of the recently opened pathway in the Connswater district of east Belfast. The pathway forms part of the £40m Connswater Community Greenway project. The council said bonfire issues were "complex" and it was working with communities to address the matter. The greenway project includes a number of new bridges, cycle paths and walking routes. It also features a new civic square with sculptures of characters from Narnia - in tribute to author CS Lewis who grew up in the area. On Wednesday, about 500 people attended the official opening of a new greenway bridge, dedicated to Z Cars actor, James Ellis. The investment was aimed at improving the urban environment by creating open public spaces and cleaning up rubbish from neglected riverbanks. For weeks, complaints have been lodged with the council about the discarded tyres and pallets. Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) councillor John Kyle told the BBC's Evening Extra programme the stockpiling was "unacceptable" and unwanted by local residents. "We've seen tremendous improvement and enhancements in the Connswater Community Greenway over the past three or four years, people are very proud of what has taken place," he said. The councillor added talks were ongoing to try to get the materials taken away. "The community want to see them removed, the council wants to see them removed, but it's always best done working with the bonfire builders." Mr Kyle added that youths had built bonfires for "generations" in Northern Ireland and suggested that dedicated areas should be set aside for the practice. "We need to, I think, create cultural spaces where young people and communities can build their bonfires and celebrate. "Areas that are appropriate, that are suitable, that can be reused year after year, that are sustainable. "That, I think is what our goal is - that we aren't destroying public property, we aren't destroying the infrastructure that everyone else enjoys for the rest of the year." Alliance councillor David Armitage told BBC Newsline the council had held meetings and consultations about the issue and he was "hopeful" of progress. A coalition of governments and charities has committed $460m to speed up vaccine development for Mers, Lassa fever and Nipah virus. They are asking funders at the World Economic Forum Davos for another $500m. The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (Cepi) aims to have two new experimental vaccines ready for each disease within five years. New vaccines usually take about a decade to develop and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa, closely followed by the Zika epidemic in Latin America, exposed just how "tragically unprepared" the world is for new outbreaks. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, one of the founding members of Cepi, said: "Before the 2014 outbreak we only had very small Ebola epidemics that were in isolated communities that we were able to control. "But in the modern world with urbanisation and travel, 21st Century epidemics could start in a big city and then take off the way Ebola did in West Africa. "We have to be much better prepared." Ebola killed more than 11,000 people in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The arrival of the Zika virus in Brazil in 2015 has left thousands of children brain-damaged. During both outbreaks, there were no treatments or vaccines to prevent people getting sick. Scientists scrambled to resurrect research on these obscure diseases. Effective vaccines were eventually developed during the Ebola outbreak, but only as it started to wane. Nevertheless, governments, scientists and regulators all came together with unprecedented speed, and managed to expedite the notoriously complex development and regulatory processes. Cepi wants to continue that momentum and develop vaccines for other viruses so that by the time an outbreak hits, experimental vaccines are ready to be sent to affected areas for large human trials that can establish how effective the vaccine is. Lassa, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) and Nipah virus are "top of the list" of 10 priority diseases that the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as potentially causing the next major outbreak. Dr Marie-Paule Kieny, assistant director-general of the WHO, said: "Besides the known threats - such as Ebola and others - there are also all those viruses that are known but are thought to be very benign. "They could mutate and become more dangerous for humans. "Then there are the things that are completely unknown to us at the moment," said Dr Kieny. The lottery of viruses that could hit us next makes it very difficult to plan for the future. Pharmaceutical companies aren't lining up to invest in these little-known viruses because there is no commercial market for them. However, some have come on board with this new alliance, including GSK and Johnson and Johnson. "We've got lucky so far," said Jeremy Farrar, because recent outbreaks haven't become airborne. But he said a far more contagious version of an Ebola like virus could emerge. "I could cough it over you today and you could cough it over someone tomorrow and it could spread very quickly. "That puts the world in a very vulnerable place." Ted McDermott, 79 - also known online as The Songaminute Man - was diagnosed with dementia in 2013 after decades of entertaining in pubs and clubs. He was filmed by his son singing Quando, Quando, Quando in the car as they drove around Blackburn in May. The videos have now been watched by thousands around the world on YouTube. "It's gone crazy," his son Simon McDermott, 40, said. "The song Quando, Quando, Quando has been really popular. People love it. We have a link on it to our fund-raising page. "We've nearly raised £30,000 for the Alzheimer's Society now." The Carpool Karaoke craze originated with James Corden's Late Late Show in the United States, which features stars such as Adele and Michelle Obama singing along with Corden in a car. "We've had messages from people all over the world saying the videos have brought them so much joy," added Mr McDermott. "I'm hoping to put some more videos up. I'd love to get him singing with a band, he'd really love that. "My dad's been a singer all his life and entertainer all his life singing in cubs across the North West. "He's 80 on Sunday and he is the eldest of 14, so we had a big party for him. "He's a real character and he loves singing. He's got a good voice." Ministers intend to allow housing association tenants in England to buy their homes at a discount. But the plans have been criticised by rural housing groups, who say they will further restrict the already scarce supply of affordable homes. The government says it is listening to the concerns of campaigners. Exact details of the scheme will be announced in the autumn. The founder of the Glastonbury Festival, farmer Michael Eavis, told BBC News the plans were "absolutely dreadful." Mr Eavis has donated several acres of land over the past two decades to allow a housing association to build 22 affordable homes near the festival's site in the village of Pilton in Somerset. "It would be absolutely fatal for this village. They'd be sold off in no time so they'd go to people who come in from outside." And Michael Eavis says he wouldn't donate any more land if right to buy was extended to villages like Pilton. "It defeats the whole object of the exercise, which is to provide low cost housing to local people." Extending right to buy to housing association tenants was a key commitment in the Conservative manifesto. The scheme would allow tenants to buy their homes at a discount, which would be financed by councils being forced to sell their high value homes when they become available. The government says each house sold will be replaced on a one for one basis. Social housing makes up just 12% of rural properties, according to the Rural Policy Housing Review, 7% less than in urban areas. Rural house prices are also, on average, 26% higher than in urban areas as competition from commuters, retirees and second home owners push up prices, according to a survey by the Halifax in November 2014. Housing associations often rely on local farmers being willing to donate land or sell it below market rates in order to build homes. Ed Buscall, a farmer in Saham Toney, Norfolk was approached by Hastoe Housing Association and the local parish council a few years ago. "They came to me and said the village school was under threat and that locals were finding it increasingly difficult to find houses here because of people retiring from London and pushing up prices." The arable farmer sold the land cheaply and the housing association built eight homes, but like Michael Eavis, he wouldn't do it again under the government's plans. "I wouldn't have sold the piece of land if I knew that in a few years time people could just sell it on to anybody." One of the houses built on Mr Buscall's land is now occupied by Sarah Green, her husband and 2 daughters. A teaching assistant in the local school, she found it difficult to find a house in Saham Toney - buying a property in the village is not an option, she says, as prices are too expensive. Ms Green is in theory the sort of tenant right to buy is aimed at helping. But she's not interested. "I don't think it's my right to have one of these houses. Where is everyone else going to go? And the younger generations coming into the village? Well, they won't be able to will they, as there won't be any homes like this." Around 465,000 council houses have been sold in rural England since right to buy was introduced for council housing tenants in the 1980s, according to the National Housing Federation. Coupled with transfers of stock to housing associations, it means that 65% of rural local authorities don't own any housing stock. Campaigners wonder therefore who'll compensate rural housing associations forced to sell their homes. The government say they're still consulting on the details but the housing minister, Brandon Lewis, strongly hinted to BBC News that urban councils will help fund rural sales. "The government will fund that discount using high value sales," said Mr Lewis. "Central government will ensure that housing associations are able to do 1:1 funding. We will make sure we support the discounts that housing associations will give, ensuring people can buy a home of their own. We will outline the details when we publish the housing bill in the autumn." The smallest rural areas are already exempt from existing right to buy legislation - and the government is considering extending those restrictions. But that might not be enough for rural campaigners, who fear that some villages will be overrun by second home owners and retirees snapping up former housing association properties as they come onto the market. But that is not the way his widow, Marina, and son, Anatoly, 21, want to remember him. The photos they spread across a kitchen table tell the story of Mr Litvinenko's life, not his death. There is a picture of him aged 17 in military uniform. He became part of the security apparatus - what was the KGB and, after the end of the Soviet Union, the FSB. Another picture shows him sitting astride a tank - a man who fought for his country. Alexander Litvinenko: Profile of murdered Russian spy A deadly trail of polonium But there is also an image from a press conference in which he spoke out about corruption in the FSB. He went to see the FSB's newly-appointed director to complain, hoping he would act. But, instead, Mr Litvinenko was cast out. The director's name was Vladimir Putin. Alongside the pictures of his work, are those of his personal life - holding his newborn son, teaching Anatoly to swim on his back, and playing with him on a sofa. Anatoly looks away from these. "I try not to think too much about my early childhood," he says. "It is easier that way." Soon after speaking out over corruption, Mr Litvinenko made the decision to flee Russia for his and his family's safety. He arrived in London and eventually became a British citizen, in 2006. Within weeks of that event, he would be poisoned. The 10-year journey to the inquiry - which found that his murder was "probably" approved by President Putin - was tortuous. An inquest began but then hit a brick wall when the government said much of the information it held was classified and could not be revealed in public. The only solution, said Sir Robert Owen, the judge sitting as coroner, was to hold a public inquiry. The government resisted that option, but Marina Litvinenko continued to fight through the courts. Eventually, the Home Office relented, a decision many saw as the result of a downturn in relations with Russia. Anatoly had little understanding of his father's work when he was a child, and it was only the inquiry that helped him understand the extent to which Mr Litvinenko had remained involved in the world of security and intelligence. This included working for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, MI6. The inquiry revealed how Mr Litvinenko was receiving regular payments for consultancy work and had a case officer - known as Martin - he met regularly. The details of the poisoning itself have long been known, although fresh information did emerge which linked Andrei Lugovoi and Dimitri Kovtun to multiple attempts to kill Mr Litvinenko. Those two men have denied any role and Russia says it cannot extradite them to face charges. One key conclusion that Sir Robert announced in his report following the inquiry was that there was "undoubtedly" a personal animosity between Mr Putin and Mr Litvinenko. Mr Litvinenko's friend Alex Goldfarb says: "They disliked each other immensely, because Litvinenko complained about corruption… and Putin shelved his report," "And Putin considered Litvinenko, after the fact, a traitor for going public with his allegations." However, the specific trigger for the killing remains a subject of speculation. Mr Litvinenko had been vociferous and outspoken in his accusations about the Kremlin from London - co-writing a book accusing the Russian security services of bombing Moscow apartments to justify a war in Chechnya. But it may well have been his work investigating specific individuals in the Kremlin and their ties to the mafia that prompted his killing. He had already helped Spanish prosecutors arrest a number of individuals and was due to travel out to give further evidence when he was poisoned. One of the people he had told about that work, and was due to travel to Spain with, was Andrei Lugovoi. The issue of state responsibility has ramifications beyond the Litvinenko case. An inquest is due to start in Surrey in the coming months into the death of Alexander Perepilichnyy. He had come to Britain with information of corruption inside the Russian state. It is not yet clear whether he was murdered, but Bill Browder, whose own lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was killed in Russia, believes he was. "Anything that potentially exposes money that the government crime figures are collecting puts the person who exposes that money at a risk of being killed," Mr Browder says. He says not enough has been done in the wake of the Litvinenko killing. "If the Russian government sends assassins to the United Kingdom to kill people and there are no consequences, it basically gives them a green light to keep on killing people," he says. Mr Browder says the UK and EU should "at a minimum" impose individual sanctions such as asset freezes and travel bans on people in the Russian government shown to have any responsibility for the Litvinenko killing. British diplomats involved in the Litvinenko case accept the measures taken at the time may not have been strong enough to deter Russia (these included the expulsion of diplomats and the suspension of intelligence cooperation, which was of relatively small importance anyway). But the signs are the British state may not be keen at this moment to further escalate tensions with Russia, particularly because of Moscow's role in the Middle East and the Syria crisis. Marina and Anatoly Litvinenko are aware the political context around the inquiry has changed and may shape the response. They also recognise the report may be a milestone but might not not end their struggle. "It is important, but it is not necessarily the end," says Marina. And Anatoly says: "I feel a sense of duty. "My father did a hell of a lot to get me to this country to make sure I was safe. "I need to respect that and do whatever I can to honour his memory. "Finding the truth is the closest we can get to justice for my father." The midfielder, 24, tested positive for Benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, after the club's match against Hartlepool United on 22 November. He admitted breaking anti-doping rules. The suspension, which followed an Independent Regulatory Commission Hearing, is effective from 15 December 2016 to 14 February 2018. Lacey, who joined Accrington in July 2016, made 17 appearances in 2016-17 but has not played since 10 December having been immediately suspended by the Lancashire club pending the outcome of the disciplinary action. "Accrington Stanley has strong values on anyone taking any prohibited substances and will always act in the strongest possible way to protect the integrity of the football club," read a club statement. Homeless charity Crisis said of 458 street sleepers it interviewed in England and Wales, 80% had suffered an attack or abuse in 2016. More than half said they did not report crimes, as many believed that the police would not be able to help them. The government has promised to support a bill aimed at tackling homelessness. Crisis chief executive Jon Sparkes said the report exposed a "horrifying state of affairs". "We knew it was dangerous on the streets already but the very scale of it is quite shocking," he told BBC News. He said crimes like urinating on a person, which affected 7% of those surveyed, were "appalling and dehumanising" but that victims often felt too ashamed to go to the police. Gary, who has slept rough in Yorkshire, told Crisis he feared gangs of youths who would roam the streets in the early hours. "Anyone sleeping in the shop door was done," he said. "They used to brick them or worse still - a couple of lads that were sleeping on the streets with me got knifed while they were asleep." Being homeless was the only reason Simon, also interviewed by Crisis, was kicked in the head by a member of the public this year. "He said, 'Are you homeless?' I said, 'Yeah' and he just kicked me in the head. I was sat on the floor reading my book." Many of those interviewed said they had become reclusive in order to avoid violence. Dan, from south-west England, said: "I stay by myself quite a lot. I don't want to get involved. "It doesn't really do me any good mentally because I'm on my own, but I do find it's safer." Six per cent of the street sleepers surveyed said they had been sexually assaulted in the past year. "Police need to reassure homeless people their safety is paramount and they will investigate these crimes," Mr Sparkes said. More than 250,000 people in England are homeless, according to charity Shelter. On any one night in England last year, an average of 3,569 people slept rough, according to government figures, a 30% increase on the previous year. Recent estimates suggest there are some 8,000 homeless people in Wales,15,000 in Northern Ireland and 35,000 in Scotland. Crisis expects to take in 4,000 people over the festive period at its Christmas centres in London, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Coventry and Birmingham. Volunteers provide hot meals, healthcare and advice on how to access housing, work and benefits. But Mr Sparkes called on the government to do more to prevent people from losing their homes in the first place. In January, the Homelessness Reduction Bill will be examined in detail by a House of Commons committee. Bob Blackman MP, who introduced the bill, has said he hopes it will give people longer to seek help from their local authority. He proposes councils intervene when someone is facing homelessness within 56 days' time, instead of 28 days as now. The continued strength of the pound can, in some instances, result in savings on the same items bought in euros in the Republic of Ireland. Dundalk retailer Gerard McEvoy said: "It is a nice change to see them coming down. "There is a big difference, especially on Saturdays." BBC Newsline carried out a price comparison of sample products selected at random. The programme found that the identical bottle of perfume at £68 in Newry is available at £4 cheaper in Dundalk. A leading brand's tablet computer, priced at £319 in Northern Ireland, is for sale in the Republic of Ireland at £25 less, once converted from euros. Recent research by the Automobile Association (AA) suggested that only 7% of southern shoppers intended going north for Christmas purchases - its lowest level since 2008. That is not great news for places like Newry, County Down. The manager of Newry's Buttercrane shopping centre, Peter Murray, said: "At the minute we are under the cosh [in respect of currency] but seven or eight years ago we were the beneficiaries." "We just get on with it." While numbers are lower than years gone by, Mr Murray said that about 12% of the centre's visitors still travel from the Republic of Ireland. Retailers have already battled hard to survive the recession. Now border traders in Northern Ireland face another challenge to ensure Christmas delivers the bumper payday that shops bank on. The Canadian played in 352 games during six years as a Giants player and was a favourite with the fans and team-mates. "I know what the supporters and this city expects with regards to trophies," said Keefe. "I also know what is expected of me and I look forward to the challenge, I would not have it any other way." He added: "An Adam Keefe team competes hard every single night. It's not easy to win in this league and a consistent work ethic will carry us through. "I'm a big believer in relentless puck pursuit with fast physical hockey. Years ago our arena was known as a tough place to come into, teams knew they were going to pay the price when they came here with a hard fought game. "I'd like to bring that back and make it tough for teams to come in here and win hockey games." Keefe's appointment comes a month after Walser departed when his contract was not extended. The 33-year-old posted 56 goals, 78 assists, 134 points and 1,082 penalty minutes as a Belfast forward and captained the Elite League team from the 2012/13 season. Keefe carried out the role of player/assistant coach for the last two seasons. "I am delighted that Adam accepted the position of head coach," said Steve Thornton, head of hockey operations. Media playback is not supported on this device "Adam understands what it means to be a Giant, what the Giants mean to the community and he is one of the best leaders that I have seen. "Coaching is in his bloodlines, this is something that he has been prepping for and he knows what it takes to win in this league which will help him with the transition. "We are confident that we have found the right man for the job." The sought-after development could aid the millions of people without ready access to clean drinking water. The promising graphene oxide sieve could be highly efficient at filtering salts, and will now be tested against existing desalination membranes. It has previously been difficult to manufacture graphene-based barriers on an industrial scale. Reporting their results in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from the University of Manchester, led by Dr Rahul Nair, shows how they solved some of the challenges by using a chemical derivative called graphene oxide. Isolated and characterised by a University of Manchester-led team in 2004, graphene comprises a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Its unusual properties, such as extraordinary tensile strength and electrical conductivity, have earmarked it as one of the most promising materials for future applications. But it has been difficult to produce large quantities of single-layer graphene using existing methods, such as chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Current production routes are also quite costly. On the other hand, said Dr Nair, "graphene oxide can be produced by simple oxidation in the lab". He told BBC News: "As an ink or solution, we can compose it on a substrate or porous material. Then we can use it as a membrane. "In terms of scalability and the cost of the material, graphene oxide has a potential advantage over single-layered graphene." Of the single-layer graphene he added: "To make it permeable, you need to drill small holes in the membrane. But if the hole size is larger than one nanometre, the salts go through that hole. You have to make a membrane with a very uniform less-than-one-nanometre hole size to make it useful for desalination. It is a really challenging job." Graphene oxide membranes have already proven their worth in sieving out small nanoparticles, organic molecules and even large salts. But until now, they couldn't be used to filter out common salts, which require even smaller sieves. Previous work had shown that graphene oxide membranes became slightly swollen when immersed in water, allowing smaller salts to flow through the pores along with water molecules. Now, Dr Nair and colleagues demonstrated that placing walls made of epoxy resin (a substance used in coatings and glues) on either side of the graphene oxide membrane was sufficient to stop the expansion. Restricting the swelling in this way also allowed the scientists to tune the properties of the membrane, letting through less or more common salt for example. When common salts are dissolved in water, they always form a "shell" of water molecules around the salt molecules. This allows the tiny capillaries of the graphene-oxide membranes to block the salt from flowing through along with the water. "Water molecules can go through individually, but sodium chloride cannot. It always needs the help of the water molecules. The size of the shell of water around the salt is larger than the channel size, so it cannot go through," said Dr Nair. By contrast, water molecules flow exceptionally fast through the membrane barrier, which makes it ideal for use in desalination. "When the capillary size is around one nanometre, which is very close to the size of the water molecule, those molecules form a nice interconnected arrangement like a train," Dr Nair explained. "That makes the movement of water faster: if you push harder on one side, the molecules all move on the other side because of the hydrogen bonds between them. You can only get that situation if the channel size is very small." By 2025 the UN expects that 14% of the world's population will encounter water scarcity. As the effects of climate change continue to reduce urban water supplies, wealthy modern countries are also investing in desalination technologies. Current desalination plants around the world use polymer-based membranes. "This is our first demonstration that we can control the spacing [of pores in the membrane] and that we can do desalination, which was not possible before. The next step is to compare this with the state-of-the-art material available on the market," said Dr Nair. In a news and views article accompanying the study in Nature Nanotechnology, Ram Devanathan, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, US, said more work needed to be done to produce graphene oxide membranes inexpensively at industrial scales. He added that scientists also needed to demonstrate the durability of the membranes under prolonged contact with seawater and ensure the membrane was resistant to "fouling" by salts and biological material (which requires existing barriers to be periodically cleaned or replaced). "The selective separation of water molecules from ions by physical restriction of interlayer spacing opens the door to the synthesis of inexpensive membranes for desalination," wrote Dr Devanathan. "The ultimate goal is to create a filtration device that will produce potable water from seawater or wastewater with minimal energy input." Follow Paul on Twitter. A study carried out at Edinburgh University suggested that playing to a youngster's competitive streak was likely to result in a third of them choosing more healthy foods. And it indicates that girls are more likely to respond to competition in vegetable-eating than boys. The study involved more than 600 pupils aged six to 10 in 31 English schools. For the "individual" scheme, pupils were given a sticker if they chose a portion of fruit or vegetables at lunchtime, or brought one in as part of a packed lunch. They were given an extra reward if they picked, or brought in, more than four of the foods over the course of a week. In the "competition" scheme, a second set of pupils were also given a sticker for choosing a portion of fruit and vegetables, but were split into groups of four, with the youngster in the group who had the most stickers at the end of the week gaining an extra reward. There was also a control group that was offered no incentives for eating fruit or vegetables. The researchers, from Edinburgh, Bath and Essex universities, found that the results differed by pupils' age, gender and background. However, overall, offering pupils incentives increased their consumption of the foods, with the competition having a greater and longer-lasting effect than the individual scheme. Prof Michelle Belot of Edinburgh University said: "They would take about one fruit and vegetable per week at lunch. An increase of one per week is quite a lot. "A week after we removed the incentive scheme, it continued for most groups of children. "We came back after six months and we didn't see any 'backfiring'. There is some work in psychology which shows if you reward children it can sometimes backfire, so afterwards they eat less. "We were quite concerned that this may happen, but we didn't see that happening at all." Julian Hinz was taken to hospital from his home in Bournemouth, Dorset, on 8 April last year with serious injuries. He died the following day when doctors decided to turn off his life support systems. Robert Hinz, 34, is charged with his murder and three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Nigel Lickley QC, prosecuting, told the jury the child's mother, Monica, had left him healthy in the care of his father. Mr Hinz, who had been made unemployed a month earlier, became angry and agitated after the death and police believed he had been drinking, he added. "In a few moments of anger and violence, his father killed him," Mr Lickley said. "An adult caused the injuries to that little boy, they cannot be explained by an accident or illness." Winchester Crown Court heard pathologist Dr Russell Delaney found Julian suffered skull fractures and brain trauma. "I favour the baby was thrown vigorously on to a blunt object or surface," Dr Delaney reported. The baby also had fractured ribs, which Mr Lickley said would have been inflicted by "squeezing" on occasions prior to the fatal injuries. He said Julian suffered a collapse "when the defendant was alone with him in a bedroom at their home in Bournemouth". During the 999 call, the defendant could be heard "shouting and swearing and hitting walls and damaging property", he added. "He continued to behave in that agitated state even after paramedics arrived - he had to be told to calm down," Mr Lickley continued. Mr Hinz, of Carysfort Road, denies the charges. The trial continues. Miss Lawrence, who lived in Heworth Road, went missing on 19 March in 2009 when she was 35. Her body has never been found. The men, all in their 50s and from the York area, were held on Wednesday. Police said they have been bailed to allow detectives to follow up lines of inquiry. A fourth man in his 50s, arrested in March, remains on bail. A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Although they have been released from custody, proceedings in this case - as they relate to them - remain active." Det Supt Dai Malyn, from North Yorkshire Police, repeated his request that members of the public and the media did not identify any of the men involved because it could "cause serious harm" to the investigation. Miss Lawrence's family have been informed and continue to receive support, police said. The 35-year-old had left her home for work at the University of York at the time of her disappearance. She was reported missing by her father, Peter, after concerns were raised when she failed to turn up for her shift. North Yorkshire Police's major crime unit launched a review of the investigation in 2013. Fresh searches of her home and an alleyway at the rear of the property were conducted but no-one has been charged over her death. A 60-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder last May and was later released from bail. A 47-year-old man held on suspicion of perverting the course of justice last July has also been released from bail. Figures from Get Safe Online and Action Fraud show 247 cases were reported, with total losses to £2,152,343. Police believe the overall figure could be higher, as some businesses choose not to report cybercrime losses. Nationally, online losses last year amounted to £1bn - a 22% increase on the previous year. Det Ch Insp Douglas Grant, from the PSNI's cybercrime centre, said that, while the figures for Northern Ireland are below the national average, they are a cause for concern and highlight a need for local businesses to train their staff to spot warning signs. On average, each police force in the UK recorded more than £19m in losses by businesses in their area. The internet security awareness initiative, Get Safe Online, believes businesses need to do more to ensure staff have appropriate online fraud awareness training, so that everyone understands their role in keeping the business secure. Tony Neate, chief executive of the organisation, said: "These latest figures show the enormous, and quite frankly, daunting impact online crime can have on a business, its reputation, its employees and even its continued operation." Det Ch Insp Grant said a substantial amount of attempted fraud against businesses is successful because of "a lack of knowledge or sloppy habits by employees". "Businesses must watch out for email compromise, which is becoming an increasingly worrying issue," he said. "This occurs when a fraudster gets victims to change a direct debit or standing order by pretending to be an organisation that a victim makes regular payments to. "It's an extremely targeted approach, with 30 cases reported in Northern Ireland alone in the last year, and £768,115 lost." Det Ch Insp Grant said employee fraud - in which employees or ex-employees obtain property or compensation through fraud, or misuse of corporate cards and expenses - is also on the rise, with 15 cases recorded from March 2015 to March 2016 and £242,002 lost. "It is vital for all businesses to provide their staff with the right tools and training to be able to identify signs of fraud or suspicious activity, before it's too late, as well as having guidelines in place on whistle-blowing." He said hacking is another major concern: "A fraudster can hack into a business's server, an employee's personal computer, or access email and social media accounts to obtain private information. "In its various forms, hacking is one of the most widely reported types of fraud in the UK over the past 12 months." She rose from humble beginnings in a colliery worker's cottage in Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil to become the owner of a multi-million pound fashion and furnishings empire, with 500 shops worldwide carrying her name. Wales played a huge part in her success: her first shop opened in Machynlleth in 1961, with a factory following two years later in Carno, Powys. Here, to mark this month's 30th anniversary of her death, her family and the people who worked with her in mid Wales, or "Laura-Land" as her children call it, share their memories of a radical, determined woman who knew exactly what she wanted and exactly how to get it. In 1953, in a basement flat in London's Pimlico, Laura Ashley and her husband Bernard laid the foundations for what would become one of Britain's greatest fashion success stories. Inspired by an exhibition of patchwork and quilts at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Laura used library books to teach herself how to transfer colour onto fabric, working on a silk screen built by Bernard in their kitchen. An initial order of 20 scarves from John Lewis grew and they began printing tea towels, gardening aprons and smocks. Bernard left his job in the City to join the family business full-time. But it was by no means an overnight success. The couple struggled to raise working capital and every penny of profits had to be reinvested into materials. By 1961, they were living in a cramped cottage in Kent, with three children under the age of six and their marriage was in trouble. Laura had a rather drastic solution to the family's problems. She packed some tents, bedding and her children into a car and headed for mid Wales, where they set up camp on the banks of Mawddach Estuary near Dolgellau. Bernard followed three weeks later and the family lived like this for six months. Their eldest son David, now 60, recalls: "My home life, to us, was quite normal growing up, but looking back on it now and having children of my own, I suppose it was quite radical. "There was one tent for the children, another tent for my parents and a middle tent which was the family tent. My father, of course, couldn't come there all the time. He had to run the showroom in London. He used to come back at weekends. People would come up to us and ask, 'Are your parents married?' They used to think my father was having an affair on the cheap." According to David, his parents enjoyed a "fantastic relationship". Laura had a calming influence on Bernard's "very angry" temper but make no mistake, it was she who called the shots. "If my father had not had my mother, I don't know what would have happened to him," he admitted. "He would have been an absolute bloody wreck. My mother could never be described as gregarious. She was quiet and I suppose you could use the word manipulative, but persuasive I think is a better word." One incident in particular, when the family had moved to a run-down farmhouse at Clogau, near Caersws, stands out in David's mind. His father loathed trade unionist Arthur Scargill. One night David and his three siblings were woken by a loud bang and ran into the sitting room. "The television had been destroyed and my father was standing there with a smoking shotgun. He said, 'Got him!' He'd shot Arthur Scargill on the television. My mother was standing there just giggling. That actually sums them up." But David also witnessed tender moments between his parents. "My father loved music. Often we'd come into the sitting room and my mother and father would be there dancing quietly to Frank Sinatra. It was deeply romantic. They had all these stresses running this business. All they'd talk about was business, business, business. At some point they must have stopped talking about business and started talking about life in general. "My parents were very much in love with each other. She could always get what she wanted very quietly. She always said, 'You can never push your father, you have to pull him'." Over the next 20 years, the same quietly determined streak which underpinned Laura's marriage helped propel the family business into an astonishing international success. Their first shop was opened in 1961 at 35 Maengwyn Street, Machynlleth. Rosina Corfield, now 70, retired and living in Newtown, Powys was the couple's first employee in Wales. She remembers meeting Laura, who was "always smiling, never miserable" more than 50 years ago. "They were different to other people around Machynlleth", she said, "A bit way-out to what we were used to, like hippies. She had the blouses with stand-up collars and big brooches and beads. They would stick out walking down the street." Rosina was amused by the Ashleys' sophisticated London ways: "What makes me laugh, when I went to Machynlleth and had lunch with them they had wine. We didn't know what wine was then. And they were having celery and raw carrots. I can remember going home to my dad and saying, 'God, they're funny people, they're giving me raw vegetables to eat!' Well, we're all doing it now aren't we?" Brian Jones was a 23-year-old shop worker and keen painter when he first met Laura in 1972, the year in which the company opened its first international shop, in Geneva, Switzerland. Brian, now 67, remembers how his father, unbeknown to him, applied for a job as a designer at the company's offices in Carno on his behalf. "This letter came from Carno asking me to bring my portfolio. Portfolio? What's a portfolio? I just went and took some pictures off the wall." Despite his inexperience, or perhaps because of it, he got the job. "Years later I met up with Laura's daughter Jane and I said to her: 'Your mother could have had the pick of designers anywhere in the world. Why did she pick a little young lad from Newtown who was working in a shop with no design experience?' And she said she picked me because she wanted a blank canvas. "She was looking for somebody who could adapt her ideas into print. She knew what she wanted. It was all from her. It was her ideas, her company. "It was amazing to be in the heart of this thing that was happening, the Laura Ashley explosion." The 1970s were halcyon days for Laura Ashley as the world became hooked on the label's romantic silhouettes, nostalgic frills and floral prints. In one week alone, London's Fulham Road shop sold 4,000 dresses. Towards the end of the decade the company launched its first home furnishing range. By 1981, the Ashleys had 500 shops all over the world. New factories in Newtown, Powys and Gresford near Wrexham followed, creating hundreds of jobs for Welsh workers. As the business grew, so did the family's fortunes. They had homes in London, Belgium, France and the Bahamas as well as a private plane and a sumptuous yacht. But Laura always kept her feet on the ground. "Coming from a very strong south Wales Baptist family, my mother's life was definitely dictated by her Christian values from a very early age," said David Ashley. "It was a sense of fairness." Brian Jones agrees: "I think we all loved her. She was just Mrs Ashley. She was so ordinary and yet she was special. "She had a very thin wedding band on her finger and she wore the same white blouse, cardigan and skirt. Sometimes she'd have a hole in her sleeve, it didn't matter." "We loved going to work. We were happy in our work," said Rosina Corfield. "Laura believed in family. If there was something wrong with the family, the family came first." When Rosina was raising her children, fabric would be delivered to her house so she would sew while caring for her family. "We wouldn't be living in this house if it wasn't for them", she said of the Ashleys. David remembers his mother caring deeply about her staff: "She was 100% into workers' rights. My mother's politics stemmed from her attitude as a manager of a business and that the chain is only as strong as the weakest link. So the weakest link is the person you have to take care of the most." At 21, David left for the United States to open up new Laura Ashley shops, a move he believes was orchestrated by his mother to diffuse the difficult relationship he was having with his father at the time. He eventually led the company's expansion programme and took great pride placing a placard in new shop windows that read: 'London, Paris, Llanidloes'. It was at a TV studio in America that his mother showed her "quite formidable" streak. David remembers a journalist starting a question with, "Well Laura, seeing as you are such a strong feminist…" "My mother said, 'I beg your pardon?' And the woman said, 'What? You are a feminist, aren't you?' And she said, 'Certainly not'. She looked at the woman and said, 'The trouble with feminists is that they put themselves on an equal with men. Well I'm a women and I'm much stronger than any man.' And she meant it." "In particular, she hated Margaret Thatcher", chuckled David. "She would describe her as 'that bloody woman' and she hardly ever used that word. She would say, 'She's carrying on like a man in Parliament, shouting and screaming and ranting. A women should never shout like that. A women should never have to resort to sounding like a man'." David was in America when he learnt of his mother's accident, in an early morning phone call from his aunt. But he did not realise the gravity of the situation until his father called him half-an-hour later. "He said, 'David, you'd better get on a plane. It's serious.' I'd never heard my father's tone of voice like that before, ever." Laura had fallen down the stairs in her daughter Jane's Cotswolds home. It was just ten days after her 60th birthday. When he saw his mother in a coma, David knew he had lost her. "It was obvious to me at that point that my mother had passed. She was being kept alive on a machine which was very cruel. We had 10 days of my mother being in a coma and the English press were absolutely horrifically awful. "Every time we were together as a family there were photographers around us. To this day when I think of certain newspapers, all I can think of is absolute anger at how they treated the family." David lost not just his mother but his business mentor: "I was a 30-year-old man in the prime of my profession in America. I really needed my mother. There was a lot of emotion and love attached to me doing this job with her. So losing her like that was quite a shock." Brian Jones recalls the news of her fall reaching the office: "We couldn't believe it. We were all in shock. Everybody was numb. Everybody loved Laura Ashley. I don't think things were ever the same again. The life had gone out of the company." Much has changed in the 30 years since Laura's death. Two months after she died, the business was floated on the stock market with a valuation of £200m. Its shares were 34 times oversubscribed. But in the ensuing years, Laura Ashley lost its way. Power-dressing was in, romantic garb was out and the company failed to move with the times. It went through 10 CEOs in 13 years but still the downward spiral continued. In 2004 the company announced it was making 130 redundancies, 90 in Carno and Newtown. The following year, the Carno factory closed with staff relocated to Newtown. Laura, who loved the village and is buried in its small churchyard, would have doubtless been devastated. David said: "My mother always said a manufacturing company can last forever, a retail company can only last for five years. She knew Laura Ashley the retail company wouldn't be around forever. "It's a totally different company; it's just got my mother's name on it. I walk through the shops and they're not the same shops at all." But the spirit of this talented and determined woman lives on in the Ashley Family Foundation, which supports projects to strengthen rural communities in Wales. David explains: "If you have an idea for a hair-brained anything product the Foundation will fund it. If it had have existed when we were living in a tent in Dolgellau, that's where my parents would have gone." Laura would now be a grandmother of ten. "She loved being a grandmother," said David. "One of the biggest regrets of my life is that she didn't know all 10 grandchildren. Every single one of them is an absolute gem." Edie, daughter of Nick, the Ashleys' third child, is now 19 and studying fashion at Kingston School of Art. She has grown up hearing about her grandmother: a "kind, really caring, lovely woman with this hard as nails personality." "It's crazy the relationship I have with her in my mind," she said. "She's a huge part of my family. Although I've never even met her I feel so connected to her. She is so talked about the whole time." Just like her grandmother, Edie takes her design inspiration from old artefacts. Where Laura spent her time in antique shops in Wales, Edie spends most Fridays wandering around Portobello Road, London looking at "crazy one-off pieces." "Dad speaks about her like his hero which is so nice. He always says, 'You would get on with her so well. She would absolutely love you'." But what would Laura make of what is now happening to the firm that still bears her name? Under the ownership of Malaysian conglomerate MUI Group, the company has increasingly turned away from fashion to concentrate on its home furnishings range. The strategy has worked: in 2014 its pre-tax profits rose by almost 15 per cent. Laura Ashley, it appears, is back. And, despite factory closures and bruising job losses over the years, its Welsh base has survived - 200 people are still employed at its Newtown factory, producing paint, wallpaper and made to measure curtains. Beneath those delicate floral prints is a true fighter of a brand - just like its quiet but determined founder.

The former England captain, who had previously played for the Gunners between 1999 and 2002, has also had spells at Charlton and Chelsea Ladies. "Casey is an experienced international defender with over 120 caps for England," manager Scott Rogers said. "Her reading of the game and ability on the ball is fantastic so I have no doubt that she will prove to be a great signing for us." Stoney added: "This is a great move for me joining a fantastic club and I am really excited for the new season." The WSL is moving to a winter schedule from September 2017, but first the clubs will play a shortened Spring Series from February to June 2017, alongside the Women's FA Cup. Between 2003 and 2013, regular smoking fell from 9% to 3% of 11- to 15-year-olds. Regular alcohol drinking dropped from 25% to 9%. The number of pupils who said they had taken illegal drugs also halved. The HSCIC based its figures on a survey of more than 5,000 pupils in England. Young people at 174 schools were questioned in the autumn term of 2013. Health charity Ash said smoking in children had fallen to a record low. The results show that the rates of school pupils drinking, smoking and taking illegal drugs are continuing to decline. Drug use among pupils has stayed stable at 6% for the last few years, but is still half the level it was in 2003. In the 2003 survey, one in four school pupils said they had drunk alcohol in the past week. In 2013, the figure was one in 10. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of health charity Ash, said smoking levels among 15-year-olds were now well below the government target of 12%. She said action taken by the government to ban tobacco advertising, put larger health warnings on packs and make all enclosed public places smoke-free had made a difference. "But more needs to be done and plain standardised tobacco packs are the obvious next step," she said. Fears that electronic cigarettes could become a gateway into smoking for young people have not materialised so far, she added. "We need to keep monitoring use in young people, and make sure advertising and promotion of electronic cigarettes doesn't glamorise their use." The percentage of pupils who said they smoked at least one cigarette a week in 2003 fell by two-thirds, to 3% in 2013. Also, over the past decade, the proportion of young people who said they had tried smoking halved from 42% in 2003 to 22% in 2013 - the lowest level since the survey began in 1982. When pupils were asked what activities were acceptable at their age, they said using illegal drugs was the least acceptable. Only one in 20 agreed it was acceptable to take cannabis once a week, whereas one in four said it was acceptable to drink alcohol once a week. Kingsley Manning, chairman of the HSCIC, said the report provided encouraging evidence that fewer young people are regularly smoking, drinking or using drugs. "Our report will be of great interest to services for young people, policy leaders and those working in public health." The move eliminates a major obstacle toward restoring diplomatic ties. The change allows Cuba to conduct banking in the United States, among other activities. President Barack Obama announced a historic thaw with Cuba in December, but the US trade embargo against the country remains, and may only be ended by Congress. The removal has been one of Cuba's key demands, as leaders from both countries have repeatedly met to negotiate the details of restoring diplomatic relations, including the opening of embassies in Washington and Havana. The action comes as signs of difficulty were seen in recent talks between US and Cuban diplomats. Last week, diplomats met in Washington, but failed to come to an agreement on opening embassies. The decision follows a formal review process but the timing is political. Cuba's designation was a holdover from the Cold War when it supported leftist guerrilla movements in Latin America. In recent years, however, the State Department had been regularly challenged to produce an "active verb" on Cuba in its annual terrorism report. Some congressmen continued to stress that Havana was still harbouring a number of US fugitives. But there was no formal opposition during the 45 day notice period, and Cuba's removal from the terrorist blacklist is the most potent symbol of détente so far. Practically however Congress has refused President Obama's request to lift the longstanding embargo. So there will be little impact on economic ties with America, although crucially Washington's decision to "rehabilitate" Cuba does remove barriers to international financing. This process is technically separate from that of re-establishing diplomatic relations but the Cubans linked the two, and an announcement on re-opening embassies is now expected in the coming weeks. Only then begins the hard work of trying to normalise relations between two countries with a complex history and radically different political systems and worldviews. The BBC's State Department Correspondent Barbara Plett Usher says the removal will give Cuba greater access to sources of international financing that were previously denied. "The United States has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba's policies and actions," the State Department said in a statement. But those concerns, it said "fall outside the criteria relevant to the rescission of a State Sponsor of Terrorism designation". Mr Obama ordered a review of Cuba's presence on the list as part of his major policy shift announced on 17 December. The department said that Mr Obama notified the US Congress of his intent to remove Cuba from the list on 14 April. Lawmakers had 45 days to take issue with his decision - a period that lapsed on Friday. The US government had maintained that Cuba has sheltered members of the Basque separatist group ETA and the Farc guerrilla group in Colombia, according to a government report. The Caribbean nation has frequently rejected its presence on the list, describing it as unfounded. The country - which lies 90 miles off the coast of Florida - was on the list since 1982. The current list includes Syria, Iran and Sudan. Stonegate Bank of Florida has agreed to allow members of the Cuban government to open an account, according to US media reports. A total of 129 people were killed in the attacks on Friday, which included the targeting of France's friendly with Germany at the Stade de France. French prosecutors have identified a Belgian as the attacks' mastermind. Belgium's government raised the terror threat level to three on Monday, indicating a serious threat. The Belgian FA said it had taken the decision to cancel the game, set to be played at the King Baudouin Stadium in the Belgian capital, following consultation with its Spanish counterparts. "Taking into account the exceptional circumstances, we cannot take any security risk to our players and fans," the Belgian FA said. It added it "deeply regretted" the late decision to cancel the match and "understands the disappointment of many supporters". Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said of his team's short stay in Belgium: "We weren't scared. We were calm in the hotel, there wasn't any problem. "We trained with tranquillity, we've prepared for the game like any other, but the authorities will have felt they couldn't guarantee the security of everybody, the players and spectators. "Hopefully there won't be any more suspensions. We're here to play sport and entertain people." Police have named Brussels-born Salah Abdeslam, 26, as a key suspect. A huge manhunt is under way for surviving members and accomplices of the group responsible for the killings. The French Football Federation (FFF) has opted to go ahead with its national side's friendly fixture with England at Wembley on Tuesday night. The Stade de France was targeted as part of Friday's attacks in Paris, as the home side played an international against Germany.

Gary Barlow's Since I Saw You Last leapt 36 places to number two following the recent broadcast of his BBC documentary with James Corden. Take That's greatest hits collection also re-entered the album chart at 21. The Gary Barlow-effect was also seen in the singles chart, where the singer's track, Let Me Go, rocketed from 74 to 22. Other new entries in the album chart's top 10 included Black Stone Cherry at five, with Magic Mountain, and Horrors' Luminous at six. Anastacia's sixth studio album, Resurrection, also entered the chart at number nine. See the UK Top 40 singles chart See the UK Top 40 albums chart BBC Radio 1's Official Chart Show In the singles chart, Dutch hip hop star Mr Probz returned to the top spot with his track Waves, after being knocked down last week to number two by Calvin Harris. The Official Chart Company said the 29-year-old outsold Harris by more than 25,000. Former chart topper Kiesza held firm at number three, with John Legend ballad All Of Me at four and Sigma's Nobody To Love at five. There was only one new entry in the top 10 - Wild Wild Love by Pitbull featuring Grl. UK Eurovision entrant Molly Smitten-Downes climbed up the chart from 48 to 33 with her track Children of the Universe. The song, which finished 17th in the competition on Saturday, is the first UK Eurovision entry to enter the top 40 since Blue's I Can in 2011. Tony Little, who is leaving the school, said most parents had been "supportive" but there were now "more pressures on young people than ever before". And if his pupils failed to conform to parents' "outcome template", it could "add to the stresses" in their life. Eton employs a full-time psychologist to promote "good mental health". "For some it feels like a bereavement when something goes unexpectedly wrong, and others recalibrate and pretend things just don't happen as they have," Mr Little told the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference's Insight magazine. Sarah Welch, who will chair the Independent Schools Association, said the parents at Gosfield School, in Essex, where she is principal, were worried about the amount of stress their children were under from exams, social networking and peer pressure. "Children don't learn unless they are happy," she said. More independent schools were employing counsellors and using techniques such as mindfulness, she said. "Pastoral care is a focus for us, and we are looking a lot more at how we support our young people at school." In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Little also said he was "exasperated" by England's exam system and that learning subjects in "silos" prevented pupils from thinking laterally. "It's like an egg timer," he said. "There is is a wealth of experience at the top, then it all has to get squeezed through this narrow bottleneck of exams and pushed out the other side." He said he was not against "rigour" or exams, but the way they were designed. "We are controlled by university admissions, with no-one wanting to prejudice students' chances - we are locked in to the system," he said. A Department for Education spokesman said: "It is essential that students develop a deep understanding of subjects, and our new GCSE and A-level courses recognise that learning is wider than preparing pupils for exams." Mr Little also raised concerns about teacher training, saying: "We have made a big mess of teacher training in this country. "I would like to see teaching as a highly trained profession, but not as it is now." He said at Eton he had preferred to take on unqualified teachers and then train them in the post.

The statement was issued after anti-Japan protests spread to dozens of Chinese cities. China sent the boats to the islands, called Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan, after Japan sealed a deal to buy three of the islands. US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has called for restraint on both sides. "A misjudgement on one side or the other could result in violence, and could result in conflict," said Mr Panetta, who is in Tokyo for talks but due to travel to Beijing this week. Mr Panetta met his counterpart, Satoshi Morimoto, and Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba. "I did not bring up the topic today, but it is mutually understood between Japan and the United States that (the islands) are covered by the treaty," Mr Gemba told reporters after the meeting. Mr Panetta also announced that US and Japanese officials had agreed to deploy a second missile defence system in Japan, designed to protect the region from the threat posed by North Korea. By Joan SoleyBBC News, Tokyo Leon Panetta arrived in Japan for a short, but timely, visit. The mounting tension between his hosts and China is expected to dominate his meetings with the foreign and defence ministers. Panetta will travel next to China, where he may be the last high-ranking US official to visit before the country's once-a-decade leadership change. Ultimately, who is right on the territorial dispute? As far as the Obama administration is concerned, it's not about who owns the islands - it's about avoiding a costly action/reaction scenario that could lead to conflict between the two countries. As US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on her recent trip to the region, and Mr Panetta has reiterated, the US doesn't want to get involved in other nations' territorial disputes. However, while the relationship between the world's second and third largest economies, China and Japan respectively, tends to be somewhat strained - genuine unrest would be an international problem. China, meanwhile, is maintaining its sovereignty over the uninhabited but resource-rich islands in the East China Sea which are controlled by Japan and also claimed by Taiwan. The China Marine Surveillance (CMS) - which sent the boats on Friday - will continue with the ''law enforcement activities'' around the disputed islands, Chinese state media reported. ''These law enforcement and patrol activities demonstrated China's jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islets, achieved the goal of demonstrating China's sovereignty claim and ensured the country's maritime interests," Xiao Huiwu, deputy chief of the headquarters of CMS, told Xinhua news agency. Anti-Japan protests swept across China over the weekend with thousands of protesters targeting Japanese-made cars and burning Japanese flags. On Sunday, hundreds of Chinese protesters were met by riot police at the Japanese embassy in Beijing. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has urged Beijing to take steps to protect Japanese nationals, adding that the authorities in both countries should "remain calm". The tension between the two countries has also hit trade relations and sparked off fears of wider economic consequences. Japanese electronics giant Panasonic is suspending operations at its factory in Qingdao until Tuesday, after the plant was damaged by protesters on Saturday. Canon will also stop operations at three of its four plants in China on Monday and Tuesday, reports said. Q&A: China-Japan islands row The islands have long been a point of contention, but the most recent row has heightened tension and led to fears of a naval conflict. But analysts see Japan's decision to buy the islands as damage limitation in response to a much more provocative plan by the nationalistic governor of Tokyo, who wanted to purchase and develop them. In Japan, the government seems unlikely to back down with an election looming. There is even talk in the Japanese press that some on both sides could be willing to risk a limited naval clash in defence of the conflicting claims, correspondents say. Further complicating matters, Japan's newly appointed ambassador to China, 60-year-old Shinichi Nishimiya, died on Sunday, the foreign ministry said. The envoy - who had been due to take up his post in October - collapsed several days earlier near his Tokyo home and was taken to hospital. The foreign ministry has not publicly commented on what caused his death.

China says six boats sent to "patrol" disputed islands at the centre of a row with Japan were successful in demonstrating Beijing's jurisdiction.

The South Korean tech giant had already lowered its third-quarter profit guidance by £1.9bn ($2.3bn). On Friday, it said it expected an additional hit of about 3.5 trillion won ($3bn, £2.5bn). The Note 7 was recalled last month after battery fires, but when replacement phones experienced the same problem, Samsung scrapped the device. The premium phone, launched in August, was meant to compete with Apple's new iPhone 7 at the top of the smartphone market. Despite the setback, Samsung Electronics still expects to make 5.2 trillion won (£3.7bn) in operating profit during the third quarter after the recall cost. Samsung cuts profit forecast Samsung: More than a smartphone fire row Samsung Note 7 flames out: Experts react Timeline: Samsung's Note 7 woes Rory Cellan-Jones: Samsung's burning issue The firm said that in order to "normalise its mobile business", it would expand sales of its other flagship devices, such as the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. "Additionally, the company will focus on enhancing product safety for consumers by making significant changes in its quality assurance processes," Samsung said. In September, the company recalled about 2.5 million Note 7 devices after complaints of overheating and exploding batteries. It later insisted that all replaced devices were safe. However, that was followed by reports that those phones were catching fire too. On Tuesday, the company said it would permanently cease production of the device and urged owners to turn it off. Eighty percent of the Northern Ireland public support proposals currently before Stormont which will criminalise the purchase of sexual services. The new law is designed to curb demand for women trafficked into prostitution. But research has claimed a large majority of sex workers fear the proposal will put them at greater risk. 'Claire' advertises a full range of sexual services on a leading escort website. For part of the week she is based in Belfast, receiving between one and six clients a day, charging £90 for 30 minutes or £150 for a full hour. "I only work during the day. I'm not interested in people coming out of pubs drunk so I finish at 8pm." She said she has turned away clients that have wanted to take drugs while with her. Working independently, without a "booker" or pimp, and working alone from a rented flat means she is not breaking the law. "I'm a law-abiding citizen." she said. Referring to the criminalisation of paying for sex, she added: "Even though I would not be a criminal, I would be associated with criminals. I'm actually turning people into criminals, and that I don't like." The well-spoken 46-year-old English graduate first considered a career as an escort after experiences as a swinger. But she describes the financial hardship, caused by her ex-husband stopping child support payments, as the "catalyst" that propelled her into prostitution. She plans to continue working for a couple more years, and is currently studying for two diplomas that will allow her to change careers. She said: "The idea is to clear some debts I got when I was a single parent. "I have no regrets about doing this job. It's not something that I'm desperate to get out of, but I feel it's something I need to be single to do, and at my age, maybe it would be nice to be with somebody." She enforces a minimum age limit of 23 and her clients come from both blue and white-collar professions. She says some have disabilities, and others lack social skills to make contact with women. She also claims she has been visited by virgins aged from 24 to 40, as well as single men, and men in sexless relationships. She said: "When you're being intimate with someone you're more likely to tell them something." She said many clients confided personal and emotional secrets in her. "There is a lot of counselling involved in this job," she said. Claire feels that a licensing system, like that implemented in New Zealand, which decriminalises sex work, and establishes rules by which it can be policed, would benefit independent workers like her. The New Zealand model allows up to four women to work from the same property, and Claire feels this would increase her security, although she has never had any incidents of violence from her clients. In principle, a licensing system would also allow the police to focus their efforts on targeting trafficked and coerced sex workers. Some statistics suggest that cases of trafficked sex workers have declined in New Zealand since this system was implemented. Claire has not had any encounters with the PSNI, but feels wary that they could use their powers to move her out of her rented apartment if they wanted, even though she operates within the law. Ruth Jacobs is a writer and former sex worker, who worked in London. She said: "When I was selling sex, I was a drug addict. I was an absolute mess, but criminalising my clients wouldn't have helped me. It would have made things far more dangerous. "I wouldn't have used the term sex worker for myself because, although it was a way to make money, it wasn't work like another job. It was traumatic." Ms Jacobs claims there was a hidden agenda behind the legislation Lord Morrow was proposing. She said: "I believe there's a lot of moral crusading going around, and pretending to want to stop trafficking, but really they want to end the purchasing of sex. "That's really dangerous because then trafficking victims aren't being served, and sex workers are denied their rights and put in danger," she said. Ms Jacobs points to the policing model adopted in Merseyside, where the police have changed their focus from enforcement to protection of sex workers. They have classified sex workers as a minority so attacks against them are considered hate crimes. They work with outreach projects to help enforce area where prostitutes operate, and provide exiting services. "Exiting services are really important," said Ms Jacobs. "Counselling, help with housing, referral to other services. When you've got no qualifications and no work history, these things aren't minor. People can't leave sex work if they can't make money some other way." 'Anna' is a Romanian woman who was abducted from London in 2011 and flown to Ireland where she was forced into sex work under the threat of violence to her and her family. After nine months, her traffickers had moved her to Northern Ireland and she was able to escape. She believes that criminalising the purchase of sex would help people in the situation she was forced into. Referring to criticism that the bill may drive trafficking further out of reach of the authorities, she said: "This is already underground. The only thing that will go underground would be the sex industry which would have to lose their major income. "Their companies will go underground, not the girls who are used and abused." She said: "I would be really really happy if it would pass. Definitely it would be a good decision for everybody within Northern Ireland." The Welsh government asked the worldwide Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to conduct the review in 2012. The report praised "positive" learning conditions but found many weaknesses. The most recent Pisa international education tests, which are run by the OECD, ranked Wales bottom in the UK. Those 2012 Pisa tests in science, maths, and reading were taken by 500,000 15-year-olds in 68 countries. The OECD review said: "From an international perspective, the performance of 15-year-olds in Wales on Pisa is low overall, and there are too many students performing at low levels. "The Pisa 2012 reading and science assessments showed that almost one in five Welsh students did not achieve level two which is considered the baseline of proficiency at which students begin to demonstrate competencies to actively participate in life. "For mathematics this proportion was even higher, almost 30%. These levels are among the lowest in OECD countries." But the report said that schools in Wales offered positive learning environments with good teacher-student relations and classrooms conducive to learning. It also praised Welsh schools for minimising the gender difference in student performance. Following disappointing Pisa tests in 2009 the Welsh government embarked on a series of changes to raise standards and performance. Several reforms followed including the introduction of the national literacy and numeracy framework for five to 14-year-olds in September 2012, which a year later became a statutory part of the national curriculum. Statutory reading and numeracy tests for pupils in years two to nine were introduced last May. But according to the report the Welsh government had tried to do too much too soon. It said: "The pace of reform has been high and lacks a long-term vision, an adequate school improvement infrastructure and a clear implementation strategy all stakeholders share." One of the most controversial reforms by the Welsh government is school banding, introduced in 2011. Teaching unions have argued it does not reflect what is happening in schools and that the requirements change from year to year. The report largely agreed with that, but added the Welsh government should consider making the school banding calculation method more transparent. The report also criticised the standards of teachers in Wales, and the lack of options for career progression and professional development for teachers and head teachers. But it said schools in Wales found it difficult to recruit high-calibre teachers, which may be a result of the standard of applicants on teacher training courses. Successive Welsh education ministers have made attempts to place more emphasis on tackling the link between poverty and low educational achievements. There are several schemes which aim to raise the attainment of pupils from the poorest families, such as the pupil deprivation grant, but the report claimed the system was too complex. Responding to the findings, Education Minister Huw Lewis told BBC Radio Wales a reform programme was already "tackling" and "grappling" with the issues. "We also need to think about the medium and the long term and that's why later on this spring, for instance, I will be making further announcements around our support programme concerning training for teachers," he said. "I'm very concerned that we have the proper support network around the professionals that are delivering at the sharp end and I want to make sure they're getting everything that they need." This is the first time we have had a major, independent report that has been so critical of the Welsh government. Many of the points it raises echo what teaching unions and opposition parties have been saying for some time. Huw Lewis refuses to accept what the OECD says about reforms going ahead too quickly. Instead he says there will be a period of calm for the next couple of years with no new policy initiatives. There is a major review of the curriculum underway, but we will not get the full report for 18 months and it will not be introduced for about four years. The minister will attend this week's OECD's education policy committee meeting in Paris to discuss the report's findings. The National Union of Teachers in Wales said the sector has to be given better support in delivering new initiatives and that they must be less "knee-jerk in their formation". The ATL Cymru union said the report should make uneasy reading for ministers but Dr Christopher Howard, of NAHT Cymru, said it was one of the most "honest, objective, rounded and helpful reports" in the last few years. The Conservatives called it "yet another scathing report" while Plaid Cymru accused the Welsh government of "blaming the education sector for failures when it hasn't given a clear indication of what the sector is setting out to achieve". The Briton, seeded third, won 6-3 6-4 and will play South Africa's 15th seed Kevin Anderson in the last 16. Another victory would make Murray the 46th man in the open era to reach 500 match wins. Fernando Verdasco beat Rafael Nadal 6-4 2-6 6-3, while women's top seed Serena Williams beat Cici Bellis 6-1 6-1. Murray, 27, lost heavily to Giraldo in Madrid last year but made amends in Miami, where he lives and trains for much of the year. The Scot attacked his opponent's second serve from the outset, breaking in game six on his way to the first set and then powering 4-0 clear in the second. There was a late revival from the now free-swinging Giraldo, who saved two match points and broke serve at 5-2 and saw off another two at 5-4. It delayed Murray but did not derail him, and the world number four finally sealed victory at the fifth attempt thanks to a net cord. Looking ahead to a potential landmark win on Tuesday, Murray told BBC Sport: "Getting to 500 wins is a lot. There's not loads of players that have done it. "Hopefully it happens in a couple of days, if not then hopefully later on in the year I'll win another match and have the opportunity to win many more. "It's a nice milestone to reach when I get there." Rafael Nadal admitted he was "playing with too much nerves" after losing 6-4 2-6 6-3 to fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco. World number 34 Verdasco, 31, has now won his last two matches against Nadal. The second seed said recent injury problems were not to blame for his exit, and explained: "The physical problems are in the past. Now I need to fix again the nerves, the self-control on court. "I'm going to fix it, I don't know if in one week, in six months, or in one year, but I'm going to do it." Serena Williams took just 42 minutes to see off 15-year-old wildcard Cici Bellis, the junior world number one. Bellis, ranked 211th by the WTA, remains an amateur despite beating Dominika Cibulkova at the US Open last year, and she saw off 29th seed Zarina Diyas in her opening match in Miami. Williams, 18 years older than her compatriot, was not about to fall victim to another upset and won 6-1 6-1 in windy conditions. "It was a good match, she plays really well and I'm just out here trying to take the title," said Williams. "It's just good to see another American doing well." Gael Monfils saw off fellow Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4 7-6 (7-4), and compatriot Adrian Mannarino beat seventh seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland. Eighth seed Tomas Berdych, of the Czech Republic, beat Australia's Bernard Tomic 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-1. In the women's draw, Serbian fifth seed Ana Ivanovic was beaten 7-6 (7-4) 7-5 by German Sabine Lisicki and third seed Simona Halep, of Romania, defeated Italian Camila Giorgi 6-4, 7-5. Italy's Flavia Pennetta, the 15th seed, defeated two-time champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6). She was only 21 at the time, but the event helped to inspire the fledgling scientist to crack how the brain is repaired. The discovery reported today could potentially help millions of people with multiple sclerosis who have a rogue immune system attacking part of the brain. Dr Fitzgerald's paralysis was caused by a similar condition to multiple sclerosis called transverse myelitis. Her spinal cord had been stripped of a fatty substance called myelin - a protective coating that allows electrical signals to travel down nerves. It serves the same function as insulation on an electrical cable. Without myelin, her brain could no longer control her body. The key difference between the two conditions is transverse myelitis is a one-off event, while multiple sclerosis is a life-long assault on myelin. Dr Fitzgerald's myelin slowly regenerated and was growing at about the same pace as the hair on your head. "I asked the doctor 'can you speed this up?' and they said 'not until some bright spark like you comes up with something'." She was, eventually, able to make a "95% recovery" and even taught herself to walk again. She told the BBC: "It shows how much regenerative capacity we have and on my mind was the repair process. "It was efficient and effective and that led me on to research on MS." In multiple sclerosis, the immune system mistakes myelin for a hostile invader and launches an assault. It can either just get worse, known as primary progressive MS, or come in waves of disease and recovery, known as relapsing remitting MS. "The reason people have relapsing-remitting is because that natural repair process kicks in," Dr Fitzgerald told the BBC. She is one part of a large research group made up of neuroscientists, immunologists and stem cell scientists that has cracked how the myelin is regenerated. They hope harnessing this process could lead to new therapies. Their series of mouse experiments, published in Nature Neuroscience, has unpicked how the body restores myelin (it is the same sequence of events that ultimately restored Dr Fitzgerald's movement). It starts with a type of white blood cell (called a T-regulatory cell) that is attracted to the damaged myelin in the brain. Once there it begins to co-ordinate the recovery like a foreman at a construction site. But rather than bark verbal instructions, the white blood cells do it chemically by using a protein with the technical name of CCN3. The protein then jolts nearby stem cells into activity. Stem cells have the rare ability to morph into other cell types and CCN3 tells them to become myelin-manufacturing cells. Dr Fitzgerald said: "From my perspective it is a fundamental step forward in the biology of repair. "Our goal is to eventually use this knowledge to develop drugs to drive the repair of myelin and potentially this could lead to patients regaining function. "I love my career, but I'd happily be unemployed if we cure multiple sclerosis." It is still early days and the next stage of the research will be to perform experiments using human rather than mouse tissues. "If only I had saved my T-cells from back then, when I was on the hospital bed I should have been saying 'save some of that blood for me'," she said while musing on a missed opportunity for an experiment. But even with treatments still on the horizon, the findings ask interesting questions about multiple sclerosis itself. Why does the repair process get worse with time? Does the disease become more severe and the repair process cannot keep up? Or does age make the repair less efficient? These will also be considered in the next stage of the research. Fellow researcher Dr Yvonne Dombrowski added: "This knowledge is essential to designing future treatments that tackle neurological diseases, such as MS, in a new way - repairing damage rather than only reducing attacks. "In the future, combining these approaches will deliver better outcomes for patients." Dr Sorrel Bickley, the head of biomedical research at the MS Society, said: "This exciting study gives us an important understanding of how myelin repair can be promoted, which could open up new areas for treatment development." Follow James on Twitter. They all turned their Twitter profiles teal blue, to reflect Tidal's branding, on Sunday night. The site launches on Monday, promising CD-quality streaming and thousands of music videos, for a subscription fee. Taylor Swift, who pulled her catalogue off Spotify last November, is among those to feature on the service. Her back catalogue - with the exception of her current album, 1989 - is already available on the service, which requires a monthly subscription of $9,99 (£6.72) for standard-quality music, and $19.99 (£13.47) for the "high fidelity" option. A spokesperson for Swift said that the star's back catalogue appears on all streaming services that require a subscription fee. "This has never been changed. Big Machine Records believes music has value and we do not believe Taylor's music should be made available for free," they said. Other artists publically backing Tidal on social media included DJ Calvin Harris, R&B star Usher, country singer Jason Aldean and Beyonce, who is married to Jay Z. It has also been rumoured that Rihanna's much-anticipated eighth album will premiere on the service after Monday's launch event. The R&B singer is signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation label, making such a deal possible, but there has been no official confirmation. Jay Z's company Project Panther bought Aspiro, a Swedish tech firm that runs two streaming music services (WiMP and Tidal) for $56 million (£37.7m) on 13 March. According to Forbes, the rapper intends to allow artists who sign up to his site reap more rewards than they would on rivals such as Spotify, Rdio, Rhapsody and Beats Music. He will announce his plans at a live-streamed launch event at 22:00 GMT in New York. A press invitation for the event promised that "Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter and special guests will announce a commitment to a new direction for the music industry from both a creative and business perspective". The launch comes as the streaming market becomes increasingly competitive. The rapid success of Spotify, which now has more than 15 million paid subscribers and 60 million total users, has prompted many tech companies to launch similar services. Last year, Google announced a subscription service that allows users to stream ad-free music videos, and download them for offline use. The monthly fee for Music Key also provides membership to Google Play All Access, the firm's pre-existing "all-you-can-eat" music facility. And Apple is poised to launch its own service, after paying $3bn (£2.02bn) for headphone maker and music-streaming provider Beats Electronics last year. It recently poached Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe for an undisclosed role in its music division. And that could be a foretaste of things to come: not just the US's so-called "backyard", but emerging markets in general are bracing themselves for the economic effects of Donald Trump's US election victory. Mr Trump does not become president until 20 January, and so far, we know little about the economic policies that he will actually put into practice. But analysts are watching for at least three factors that could have contradictory and clashing effects. This is the big issue that caused the Mexican peso to plummet 12% against the dollar in the immediate aftermath of the election result. It has since recovered a little, but the pressure on the currency has been severe since August, when Mr Trump began rising in the opinion polls. It has already led the Mexican central bank to increase interest rates sharply and more rate rises are likely in future. The fear is that Mr Trump will deliver on his campaign pledge for a complete renegotiation of the North America Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), which links the US with Mexico and Canada. Since Nafta came into being in 1994, the Mexican economy has become ever more closely intertwined with that of its northern neighbour, and any changes to the agreement would have a wrenching effect. However, any rewriting of Nafta would have to be approved by Congress and could not be enacted unilaterally by the president. Elsewhere, the Brazilian real was also hard hit by Mr Trump's victory, tumbling nearly 9% in four days. However, there are signs that Brazil's caretaker government is using the currency turmoil as cover for its plans to push through a series of key economic reforms, and in any case, the real is still higher against the dollar than it was at the start of the year. Mr Trump has talked of imposing punitive tariffs on imports, particularly Chinese and Mexican ones. In the case of Mexico, he would not have to redraft Nafta in order to do this and would have more leeway to act by himself. If the US does choke off trade with its neighbours in an attempt to curb imports and boost job creation, there could be unintended consequences in another oft-overlooked part of its "backyard": the Caribbean. Caribbean diplomats point out that although the US is the sub-region's biggest trading partner, its biggest source of aid is now China. Any damage to the Caribbean's trade with the US would simply drive it further into the Chinese embrace. And if the US thinks communist Cuba is a big geopolitical problem now, they argue, then just wait until the whole English-speaking Caribbean is looking to Beijing instead of Washington. This part has some good and bad aspects for emerging markets. In his victory speech, Mr Trump promised to give a big boost to the US's ailing infrastructure, which he said would become "second to none". If this and other fiscal stimulus pledges gain the upper hand over his protectionist impulses, that could boost imports from other countries. These two opposing tendencies reflect tensions in the minds of the voters who cast their ballots for the Republican candidate. On the one hand, they fear for their livelihoods and see free-trade deals as a sure-fire way of destroying US jobs, by making it more profitable to move them overseas to lower-wage countries. But on the other hand, as consumers, they benefit from cheap goods made in China and other big manufacturing countries. So a booming US economy could help emerging markets by stimulating demand for their products. On the other hand, if that demand overheats, the US Federal Reserve might have to take measures to cool it down, notably by raising interest rates - and that could cause another set of headaches for emerging economies. This is the flipside of the coin to the currency collapses seen in Brazil and Mexico. As the real and the peso weaken, so the dollar strengthens. However, this could well turn out to be more than just a temporary blip. If the pace of US interest rate rises starts to speed up, then this will fortify the value of the dollar, and that causes problems in poorer countries. True, it makes their goods cheaper for US buyers, but many of them have substantial debt piles denominated in US dollars, so those will cost more to service in their own currencies. Brazil and Mexico get off lightly here. Brazil certainly has a debt problem, but very little of it is denominated in dollars. The same goes for Mexico. State oil company Pemex has debts in dollars, but it also earns in dollars too, since oil is priced in the US currency. On the other hand, Turkey has a lot of foreign debt priced in dollars and would be vulnerable to a further strengthening of the dollar. This has already had an impact on the value of the Turkish lira, which was in a bad way even before the US election, because the country's political crackdown had led to capital flight. And Mr Trump could also fuel currency wars by formally accusing China of manipulating the value of the yuan and keeping it artificially low, as he has previously alleged. Whatever happens, the rising dollar is already the most visible economic effect of a Trump presidency, even before he takes office - and the effect may have only just begun. Iain Wightman, who was 18, died after the crash on a rural road on the outskirts of Edinburgh on Monday. The collision, between Dalmeny and Kirkliston, involved a silver Land Rover Discovery. A statement from Iain's family said: "Iain was a wonderful, wonderful boy, much loved and missed by his brother Colin, sister Katie and mum and dad." It continued: "He wanted to train to be an Olympic cyclist and was a great rugby player. "He is a great loss in our lives and will never be forgotten by those that knew him and we wish he was back with us." The incident happened on Standingstane Road at its junction with Burnshot Road at about 10:30 on Monday. "It's great, fantastic, I'm overwhelmed, it's a great time to be Nigerian," says research consultant Simi Fajemirokun in Abuja. "This party that was only formed two years ago, that has beaten the ruling party. It's something we just never fathomed a few months ago. But here we are, it's happened," she said. This is a hugely significant moment in Nigeria's turbulent history. Never before has a sitting president been defeated in an election. Since independence from Britain in 1960, there have been numerous coups and although the 2011 vote was an improvement, most elections have been rigged or even annulled by the military. Of course in a relatively close election, there will be millions of people who are not pleased with the outcome. But the whole process is a sign that democracy is deepening in Nigeria and may be a tonic to other countries in Africa. Nigerians can start to believe that it is possible to remove politicians through the ballot box. Many Nigerians have been given a glimmer of hope that their politicians will now feel the need to be more accountable. "For the first time there are clear repercussions for a certain type of governance," says writer Elnathan John. "Everyone is excited. The gateman where I stay had a little booklet where he was writing out results, and that's something you wouldn't have seen last time," he says, adding that it would have been pointless. There has been a great deal of concern over possible election violence as both sides were so hell-bent on winning this contest. The man who has been voted out, Goodluck Jonathan, has played a huge part today in helping to prevent unrest. He made the phone call to concede victory and to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari when a disputed outcome would have sent the country on a dangerous road. "I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word," he said later in a statement. "I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure," he added, urging people with complaints to follow due process and not to go to the streets. No doubt some in his camp would have preferred to dig their heels in. In recent months there were fears that powerful political and even military personalities would connive to prevent this election from taking place at all. The belief was if they could not ensure a Jonathan victory then they would not risk an election at all. Five reasons why Goodluck Jonathan lost Profile: Muhammadu Buhari Profile: Goodluck Jonathan First there was the six-week delay in the poll and then reports of plots to install an interim government or even declare a nationwide state of emergency to prolong the president's tenure. Anything but risk Gen Buhari winning. So the fact that this election happened at all was already a victory for democracy. There was also huge pressure on the head of the electoral commission Attahiru Jega. He stood firm and will be credited as having played a huge role in the success of this poll. The biometric card readers which were introduced to register voters may have been maligned for some technical glitches but they were pivotal in this election. There were still efforts to rig the result but the new technology made it impossible to accept the ludicrously inflated turnouts and results which have been common in Nigeria. As the final results were being announced, a former minister from the governing party, Godsday Orubebe, put on quite a show. Live on TV he launched an embarrassing tirade, lambasting the electoral commission and its chairman Attahiru Jega, accusing him of being biased. It felt like a desperate last ditch cry from a party that, having been in power since 1999, was struggling to face up to the reality of an imminent loss. With the main candidates from different religions and opposite ends of the country, this poll has once again brought to the surface worrying religious and regional divisions which can be seen in some of the voting patterns. "You can't deny that in many cases people have voted along religious lines. You can see it in the areas where celebrations have been going on too," says Shehu Sani, who has just won the senatorial seat in the northern city of Kaduna. "So Buhari has to run an all-inclusive government and heal the divisions," says the writer- and activist-turned-politician. Mr John agrees that healing is still needed. "There is a lot we have not spoken about in this country and the clear divisions have thrown this out into the public. We have settled many things in this country but I do not think we have sufficiently settled the fall out of the civil war," he says. There is now a strange limbo period as Gen Buhari is not due to become president until the end of Mr Jonathan's term on 29 May. He is known as a strong disciplinarian, but Gen Buhari may have his work cut out maintaining cohesion within the All Progressives Congress (APC). He will also have to find roles for all of the disparate politicians, many of whom had little in common except a common desire to boot out the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and gain a political office themselves. Some had jumped ship from the PDP, so their loyalty is already questionable. Gen Buhari will face many challenges when he assumes office at the end of May - amongst them the jihadist insurgency in the north-east and an economy struggling with the drop in the price of oil. "He will have a six months' grace period at most but his popularity will not be sustained if he is unable to secure electricity for the people and show progress in the fight against the insurgents and corruption," says Mr Sani. After this historic election, the former military general will know the potency of the call for change could come back to bite him. Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle are all set to reprise the roles they first played two decades ago. An online trailer with footage from the original movie sets a release date of 27 January 2017. Trainspotting is based on Irvine Welsh's tale of Edinburgh drug addicts. The trailer comes as filming of T2 is getting under way, with Bremner spotted in character as Daniel "Spud" Murphy during pre-production in Edinburgh last week. Carlyle, who will return to the part of "psycho" Begbie, has said that the script for the new film is "absolutely fantastic" and stronger than the first film. The actor joined Welsh at The Usher Hall in Edinburgh earlier this year to mark 20 years since the release of the original movie, where he said that filming will take place "pretty much 50-50" between Edinburgh and Glasgow. He said: "I'm basing this on nothing other than the fact that the production office is on Bathgate. There's a clue there. "What I will say is that all the characters are exactly where you would want them to be. "The strength of this new script is the fact that the narrative is a bit stronger than it was in the original." He added: "You learn a lot about Renton, Sick Boy and indeed Begbie and where their heads are. "I think it's an absolutely fantastic script. John Hodge has done a wonderful job, as he did with the original." McGregor has said he does not have any nerves about returning to the part of Renton. Speaking to the Press Association ahead of the release of his new movie Our Kind Of Traitor, he said: "It's such an amazing script, penned by John Hodge who wrote the original Trainspotting script, so there's a real excitement about it. "Like every movie you do, you have things to think about leading up to them. There is a nervousness about it, but I'm not nervous because it's a sequel to Trainspotting." Media playback is not supported on this device There are 30 huge men on the pitch, many of them weighing north of 17 or 18 stones, battering seven bells out of each other for 80 minutes, yet the coaches insist it's the little things that make the difference. They were at it again on Friday, Wales' smiling coach Rob Howley and his sharp, clear-talking Ireland counterpart Joe Schmidt. A seething crowd of 74,500 witnessed Wales' redemptive 22-9 victory over Ireland in a thrilling, bruising, hide-behind-the-hands Test match in Cardiff. And while Howley - under intense pressure in the build-up to the match - talked about how different the tournament would have been if little things had gone Wales' way in the 23-16 defeat by England, Schmidt smiled ruefully on how Ireland had been undone by minor incidents with a major impact. Media playback is not supported on this device So what little things? Well here are four key moments from another epic Six Nations Friday in Cardiff. Ireland were leading 3-0 and asking most of the questions when fly-half Johnny Sexton left the field for a head injury assessment after taking an accidental blow from Jonathan Davies. With his temporary replacement Paddy Jackson still settling in to place, Wales attacked down the fly-half channel through Rhys Webb and Scott Williams to create the first of George North's two tries. "It was very smart of Wales to attack down that channel and difficult for Paddy who had just come on," said Schmidt. It was early in the match and gave Wales just a two-point advantage which Jackson quickly cancelled with a penalty, but it ignited the crowd and put a spring in the step of the Wales backs. Schmidt pointed out after the game that Wales were penalised 10 times to Ireland's four, yet it was Johnny Sexton who saw yellow. The key wasn't the crime itself but where it was committed - right on Ireland's try line with Wales attacking furiously. Sexton marched off with minutes of the first half remaining and Wales trailing 6-5. By the time he returned Wales were leading 15-6 after Webb - again - had exploited Wales' extra man to give George North an unopposed run-in in the right corner. "I felt Johnny was unlucky because he was pinned by three Welsh players, but in those areas and circumstances there's always a danger of a yellow," said Schmidt. Howley felt Wales exploited the extra man well. "The try down the short side in the second half was very smart," was the former Wales scrum-half's view. With Sexton orchestrating a siege on Wales' goal-line and the home team defending a six-point lead Dan Biggar had a clearance from the in-goal area charged down. The deflection flew to prop Tadhg Furlong and straight through his fingers with the try line at his mercy. Wales scrambled the ball into touch and then survived a driving line-out. Minutes later with Ireland eventually pinned back in their 22 and still trailing by six, Sexton's attempted chip was battered to the ground by Taulupe Faletau. The ball ping-ponged briefly off some legs before finding its way into the grateful arms of Jamie Roberts who dragged the at-the-centre-of-everything Sexton over the line with him to score the match-clinching try. But the key moment in the game involved an Irish driving line-out with some five minutes remaining. Captain Rory Best had the ball under control and Ireland were making slow but steady progress towards the Wales try line before the maul was briefly halted. Centre Robbie Henshaw's intervention added fresh trundle to the bundle of wrestling bodies and Best dropped over the Welsh try line with referee Wayne Barnes saying: "No Rory, I can't allow it." Henshaw had entered the maul in front of Best, obstructing Welsh defenders and was penalised - a situation from which Wales eventually pinned Ireland back and claimed their decisive third try. "If we score that it's in and around the 15-metre mark and you'd expect to convert it," said Schmidt. "You go one point ahead and suddenly they're chasing the game and not us." In commentary, former Ireland captain Paul O'Connell put it nicely in a probably unintentional rhyming couplet. "If he puts his arm around Rory, it's a different story," he said. And how! Ireland could have been preparing for a championship showdown with England in Dublin while Wales would have been travelling to France trying to avoid their worst campaign since 2007. Instead, Schmidt believes Ireland are playing for a place in the top half of the table while Wales are off to Paris with a spring in their step at last - a chorus of discontent replaced by cheers and back-slapping. Little things. Major consequences. Altogether a big night out in Cardiff. That's the equivalent of nearly two billion search queries. As news that she had fined its parent company Alphabet a record 2.4bn euros ($2.7bn; £2.1bn) spread, it became clear that many thought the case against the tech firm was obvious without needing to dive that deep into the data. But others perceive the penalty to be unfair and even prejudicial against the US, despite the fact several American firms had spoken out against Google in advance of the ruling. For its part, Google says it does not accept the criticism and may appeal. Below is a sample of the early reactions to the news culled from emailed press releases, social media, blogs and elsewhere. "For over a decade Google has abused and leveraged its monopoly power in search - where it has a 95% market share in Europe... The commission's decision will finally put a stop to that abusive conduct, and it will enable those competitors that have survived despite Google's behaviour, as well as new entrants, to compete on their merits," Thomas Vinje, legal counsel to Fairsearch, a group of internet businesses that have lobbied against Google. "Further legal action will be needed if Google tries to circumvent the commission's verdict. It will be important to have a very strong monitoring trustee and oversight to ensure that the remedy is put into practice," Richard Stables, chief executive of the price comparison site Kelkoo. "Other regulators and companies have been intimidated by Google's overwhelming might, but the commission has taken a strong stand and we hope that this is the first step in remedying Google's shameless abuse of its dominance in search. We strongly believe that the abuse of algorithms by dominant digital platforms should be of concern to every country and company seeking a fair, competitive and creative society," News Corp via its site. "[It's] eurotechnopanic at its worst: anti-American, anti-technology, anti-capitalism... Europe, you can't regulate yourself into competition. You have to invest and innovate," Prof Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do? via Twitter. "The EU has effectively decided that some companies have become too big to innovate. The EU's actions have created a cloud of uncertainty that will make large tech companies overly cautious about making changes to the user experience and service offerings that would benefit consumers... The only real beneficiary of today's ruling is the EU's treasury," Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington-based think tank. "Prioritising a particular shopping search engine is not akin to gouging water users with higher prices because there are alternatives to Google that users can switch to easily. If the overall user experience is made worse by Google Shopping being prioritised, then users will have the option of moving to a search engine like Bing which is perhaps less good at search but better overall because it does not prioritise a bad shopping tool," Sam Bowman, executive director, Adam Smith Institute via its website. "Given the depth of Google's pockets, this is by no means a commercial disaster but it has the makings of a brand disaster. Google has always presented itself as 'the good guy' of technology, but if this record fine stands then it would be harder for them to argue that," Rupert Bhatia, director of public relations at crisis management agency Rhizome Media. "Prepare to see more such divided action (geographically based)... but [it's] not simply America v EU. Some huge US companies (Oracle) agree with the EU fine, saying Google hurts competition." Adrian Weckler, tech editor, The Irish Independent via Twitter. "It's simply not possible for us to operate a complex economy without certainty... Vital to this is that we all know what the law is ahead of time. It must be possible for us to know that we are acting illegally that is, the law must be known, it must be possible for us to know that we are subject to it. And that's where this decision fails," Tim Worstall, Adam Smith Institute via Forbes. "Alphabet can easily afford [the fine]. The sting may come more from what the ruling means for current and future cases in Europe targeting Google and other large tech firms - most of them hailing from Silicon Valley or thereabouts. Antitrust experts and tech executives say the ruling, in particular, could be precedent-setting in instances where tech giants have become gatekeepers for our digital lives," Sam Schechner, Wall Street Journal via its site. "Whereas the antitrust laws in the US and the EU used to be broadly in line with each other, a gradual deregulation in the US has led to the clash of cultures we are seeing here. The vast success of Silicon Valley has been fostered by a deregulated marketplace, but this causes problems when these businesses do business against the very different legal backdrop operating in Europe," Susan Hall, head of technology at the law firm Clarke Willmott. "So, the EU has fined Google for breaking competition law and given it 90 days to stop, but not said what stopping looks like. Anyone find that odd?" James Titcomb, Technology editor, The Telegraph via Twitter "They are dominant, but other search engines are available. When I go into Tesco I don't see adverts for Lidl," Tony Smith via Facebook. "Last time I checked Google was a technology company, not a public body. Why is it wrong to favour its advertisers?!" Desi Velikova via Twitter. "It's a huge win for the average consumer. Every year Google becomes a more and more entrenched monopoly. At this point they basically dictate a big portion of the internet ecosystem," ReanimatedX via Reddit. "I'd like to hear an explanation as to why this is good for consumers. Instead, more people are going to just go straight to Amazon, which uses its data to learn what people like, develops its own products to compete, and then stops carrying competitors' products," Tenushi via Reddit. The Office for National Statistics found overseas visits to Scotland rose by 155,000 in 2016, compared with 2015. The numbers were boosted by an 18% rise in visitors from the US and Canada. Tourism body VisitScotland attributed that increase in part to the success of the television series Outlander. It said the series, which was filmed at various locations across Scotland, including Doune Castle near Stirling, had fuelled a growing interest in ancestral tourism. The latest ONS figures also showed that international visitors spent £1.85bn in Scotland in 2016 - a rise of 9% compared with the previous year. Edinburgh was found to be the most popular city with overseas overnight visitors to the UK outside of London. Glasgow was the sixth most popular, while Inverness was in 12th place and Aberdeen at number 19. VisitScotland Chief Executive Malcolm Roughead said: "Overall, 2016 was a very positive year for Scottish tourism, with these figures showing that there is a huge appetite among overseas visitors to explore Scotland. "A growing interest in ancestral tourism, which in part has been fuelled by the success of the hit television series Outlander, as well as increased airline capacity, has continued to see visitors from North America coming here in large numbers. Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "These figures underline Scotland's appeal as a world-class tourism destination and are a credit to our tourism industry's hard work to attract and welcome more than 2.7 million overseas visitors last year." Bryan Clay has a novel answer. The 2008 Olympic champion, 35, put his to productive use by helping to remove his daughter's loose tooth. A quick internet search on removing loose teeth suggests eating chewy food or wiggling it with your tongue. Even quicker is attaching it to a javelin and launching it across a field. Although it helps to know how. The American posted a video of the feat on his Twitter page with the heading: "What you use javelins for once you're retired." An Olympic javelin weighs around 800g and can reach speeds approaching 70mph on release, so we couldn't possibly put you through watching the clip in full. The 2010 heptathlon world champion said his daughter had been "wiggling it all day until it was hanging by a thread just so she could do something cool to get it out". He added: "Don't worry, the tooth is safely under her pillow!" Even more importantly, his daughter looked pretty unfazed after seeing the offending tooth launched a good 30 metres across a field. The FTSE 100 closed up 0.87%, or 53 points, to 6,137.6, led by engineering firm Weir Group. B&Q and Screwfix owner Kingfisher was the biggest faller on the 100 index. Its shares fell 2% after reporting first-half results showing a weak performance in its French business, where it runs Castorama and Brico Depot chains. The company also announced it was considering a big expansion of its Screwfix chain, with potential for another 200 stores. Overall, investors are expected to remain cautious ahead of the US interest rate decision later this week. On Thursday, the Federal Reserve will decide on whether to raise US rates for the first time in nine years. "Ahead of what looks like the most vital Fed meeting in years, the best thing for markets to do would be simply to sit still and wait for Thursday afternoon," said Chris Beauchamp, market analyst at IG. "With that being impossible, they have opted for the second choice, namely running around in circles," he added. Credit checking agency Experian was one of the biggest risers, climbing 1.7% after HSBC raised its rating on the stock to "buy". Shares in online grocer Ocado jumped 3% in early trade, but by the close stood just 0.7% higher. The firm reported gross retail sales of £252m in the 12 weeks to 9 August, up 15.3% from a year earlier. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.48% against the dollar at $1.5353 and was flat against the euro at €1.3628. Cats on the internet are over. Done. "Cheezburgers" are off the menu. Play yourself out, Keyboard Cat. While in years past we’ve perhaps welcomed the charming cynicism of the likes of Grumpy Cat, it seems people of the internet are now, in stranger times, longing instead for the unconditional and unwavering love of dogs - and I have the highly subjective data to prove it. Trending Let’s start with Reddit. The top three posts of all time on its r/aww subreddit, the section for all things cuddly, are all about dogs. "But wait!" you might say. "The fourth one is a cat!". Ah, but is it? It begins with a cat, but watch closely as it climbs out of its cage and into the one next to it. What does the cat find? A dog! That should be all the proof you need. If it isn’t, here’s something a bit more concrete. Socialbakers is a company that monitors social media for trends and stats relating to things that are most popular. I got in touch with them about this, and within hours they came back to me with the goods. For starters, the runaway champion of most popular animal on Facebook is a dog named Boo. He’s got more than 17.5m likes, more than double that of his closest competitor, Grumpy Cat. In third place, Nyan Cat - who isn’t even a real cat, for crying out loud. On Instagram, fine, I’ll admit, the top celebrity is a cat. But 2nd, 3rd and 4th place? All dogs. All good dogs. When it comes to searches on Google, dogs . But more significant was the historic moment on 3 January 2016, when, for the first time, the term "cute dogs" overtook "funny cats" in global searches. I think I’ve proved my point. Puppers Like any viral phenomena, there’s a new vocabulary to get your head around if you are to be a part of this new term of internet governance. Dogs aren’t just dogs. They’re doggos. Puppies are puppers. And while not all puppers can be considered doggos, all doggos are most certainly puppers. Or woofers. Woofers that bork. If you want, you can boop a doggo’s snoot. That is - to lightly bop on one’s nose. When in mild distress, or sometimes just for emphasis, their chosen curse word is the ferociously aggressive "heckin". Oh, and if a dog sticks his or her tongue out a little bit? That's a blep. Like any new language, the best way to learn is to engross yourself in the culture - and one fine place that speaks fluent doggo is the happiest corner of the internet, Facebook’s Cool Dog Group (CDG). Here you’ll find the likes of Igor, who, let me tell you folks, is a born superstar, believe me. Igor’s just one of hundreds of puppers posted every week, a most welcome addition to news feeds that would otherwise be clogged up with baby pictures and wedding photos. You’re welcome. ‘They’re good dogs, Brent.’ It’s the grassroots of doggo appreciation that has the movement set to make huge strides in 2017. It’s being spearheaded by Matt Nelson, a 20-year-old who studies golf course management in North Carolina, and a man described by serious newspaper Washington Post as "the internet’s most famous dog rater". Nelson runs the WeRateDogs account on Twitter. People submit dogs to be rated, and Nelson will consider the merits of said dog and provide a score out of 10. Recent scores: 12/10 for Hercules, 13/10 for Duchess and 14/10 for Sundance who, in a short clip, plays the drums. Late last year this generous but fair system was brought into disrepute by the user Brant, who questioned why all the dogs got such unfathomably high ratings. "They’re good dogs, Brent," replied Nelson - an era-defining retort which you can now buy on a hoodie. Or a mug. Since then, popularity has exploded. He now has over a million followers. "We started up an e-commerce store," Matt tells me. "We have a book deal. So many things I thought you could never do with just a Twitter account." Therapy dogs You could say there’s plenty of data out there to suggest that I’m wrong, and that cats are still very much in control. And you’d be right - I found plenty evidence which completely disproves the theory I’ve outlined here, but I’ve left it out as I don’t care. There was one piece from Gizmodo in 2015 that suggested there were scientific reasons to why cat memes were more popular online - but to that I say WRONG. Fake meows. Because the web is just different now. Looking at cat pictures was a way to waste time by mucking about on the internet. Now, like the therapy dogs of the real world, internet doggos are supplying a much needed diversion from the humourless drudgery that makes up much of the modern social web. "Dogs are just a pure innocent thing," Matt Nelson says. "They are the embodiment of unconditional love, and that’s what people want now. "I see my account as this refuge of something bright on the internet." And so that’s it. Sorry cats. You had a good run. Before publishing, my editor told me I was brave to write to this piece. "No no," I said. "Brave is allowing people to leave comments…" Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook One patient was still waiting for the results of an X-ray taken on 6 March, according to a Freedom of Information answer to the BBC on 29 July. In September 2014, Derriford Hospital had 12,693 patients waiting for results of scans. Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust chief executive Ann James said: "Clearly that's not acceptable." Other local hospitals said they had no-one waiting longer than six weeks. The Care Quality Commission visited in early May 2015 when 7,000 people were waiting for scan results. The hospital's diagnostics were rated as inadequate in the subsequent report. Ms James said: "We need to explore all options to respond as quickly as possible. Nationally there is a shortage of staff such as radiologists and we are feeling that locally." The delay has also been blamed on the number of staff on long term sick leave and demand for scans exceeding the number they had planned for. Keith Barker (4-33), Rikki Clarke (3-32) and Chris Wright (2-28) exploited the swinging conditions to bowl out Somerset before lunch for 95, spinner Jeetan Patel taking the last wicket. But the Bears were bowled out cheaply themselves for 123 - a lead of just 28. Somerset then lost a wicket, Tom Abell for a second time, to close on 41-1. Abell had been Somerset's first-innings top scorer with 20, caught behind off Wright, before being out for the second time in the day late on when he was trapped leg before in Bears leg-spinner Josh Poysden's second over. But Poysden missed a chance to make further inroads when he then spilled Somerset skipper Chris Rogers at long leg off Barker. On a used pitch with bare patches at both ends to entice the spinners, Somerset selected three. And 19-year-old off-spinner Bess proved the star, also taking three catches, two off his own bowling and the other a stunning one-hander to his left at mid-wicket to dismiss Alex Mellor. It was mostly swing that proved the key before lunch although, having claimed the extra half hour to extend the morning session, it took just one ball of spin from Jeetan Patel for Warwickshire to end the innings. When the Bears replied, in-form opener Ian Westwood proved the day's highest scorer with 34. But, from 62-1, the visitors slumped alarmingly once Bess claimed the wickets of Jonathan Trott and his old England team-mate Ian Bell with successive deliveries. Although Sam Hain saw off the hat-trick ball, they lost their last nine wickets for 61 as the lower order's attempt to hit their way out of trouble failed to pay off. Batting suddenly proved a lot easier in the day's final 13 overs as ex-England opener Marcus Trescothick reached the close on a far more assured 19. Bess's performance for Somerset was the second time this season that a teenage spinner has upset the Bears. Matt Parkinson, also 19, took 5-49 for Lancashire with his leg-spin at Old Trafford in June. Nottinghamshire off-spinner Matthew Carter took 7-56 on his first-class debut against Somerset last summer, also at Taunton, at the age of 19, the best figures by a debutant spinner since 1938. Bess made his first-class debut against Pakistan in early July when he took 0-128 from 30 overs. Somerset's collapse was the first instance of a side being bowled out before lunch in English cricket since Stuart Broad took 8-15 as Australia were bowled out for 60 in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge in August 2015. Warwickshire had to claim the the extra half hour to get the job done too, with the first ball of the 31st over. By comparison, on that day at Trent Bridge, Australia lasted just 18.3 overs. Somerset skipper Chris Rogers was in the Australia side and went for a third-ball duck. The other common denominator was Warwickshire captain Ian Bell, who was also on the pitch on both occasions, each time taking a slip catch to dismiss the number four, Shaun Marsh and Jimmy Hildreth respectively. Somerset debutant Dom Bess told BBC Radio Somerset: "I had to pinch myself when I got Jonathan Trott out and then saw Ian Bell walking in. These are guys I was watching on TV not so long ago. "When Bell hit the next ball back at me I was just thinking 'don't drop it, don't drop it' as it came towards me. It has been a surreal day in many ways and one I won't forget. "We were aiming to bat big at the start, so 95 all out was certainly not what was required. But the way we have fought back as a team is encouraging and the match could still go either way." Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown told BBC WM: "The pitch assisted all types of bowling. The colour of it put doubt in the batsmen's minds and led to some poor shots. There were some pretty soft dismissals. "We would certainly have batted first had we won what we thought was an important toss but, as it turned out, conditions suited our seamers and they took full advantage. We bowled really well and took our chances. "The same then applied to Somerset. The game is evenly balanced. It remains to be seen how the pitch changes. I wouldn't expect it to improve, but I would expect us to bat better on it in the second innings." More children in the seafood industry worked with fire, gas or flames compared to other industries, it said. The report by the ILO and the Asia Foundation said 19.4% of children in those industries reported workplace injuries compared to 8.4% in others. Rights group have accused the Thai seafood industry of using slave labour. Human Rights Watch said in a report that fishermen from Cambodia and Myanmar (also known as Burma) are trafficked and forced to work on the boats. Their children make up most of the child population working in the industry. Thailand is the world's third-largest seafood exporter globally. "Child labour is truly unacceptable in the 21st Century," said Maurizio Bussi, officer-in-charge of the International Labour Organization's offices in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. "Unfortunately, it remains a symptom of existing labour market governance challenges, coupled with a lack of genuine alternatives for vulnerable workers and their families to freely avail of." The report includes a number of recommendations including asking the Thai government "to provide equal treatment with regard to labour protection... regardless of nationality and legal status". It also asks international buyers to "engage more directly with their suppliers" so that they may help implement international standards, including for labour. An AFP news agency journalist reported that his entire street in the Bustan al-Qasr district was left burning after warplanes dropped incendiary bombs. At least 13 people, including women and children, are believed to have died. Fighting also erupted in the southern district, where rebels are attempting to break a siege by government forces. Aleppo, once Syria's commercial and industrial hub, has been divided roughly in two since 2012, with the government controlling the west and rebels the east. Why truce was doomed to fail Syria's White Helmets win peace award Aid convoy attack: What we know Children suffer horrors of Syria's war Aleppo: Key battleground in Syria's war Two million people are caught up in the battle for the city, and getting aid to them had been a key part of the cessation of hostilities deal brokered by the United States and Russia. However, no deliveries have taken place so far. A deadly attack on an aid convoy and Syrian Arab Red Crescent warehouse outside Aleppo on Monday, for which Washington and Moscow have blamed each other, prompted the UN to temporarily suspend deliveries across the country. But following the pause a convoy on Thursday entered Muadhamiya, a suburb of the capital, Damascus, where some 40,000 people are living under siege, the UN tweeted. A spokesman hoped the UN could reach Aleppo "in the near future". The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Thursday that 14 air strikes had hit Aleppo's rebel-held southern Bustan al-Qasr district and neighbouring Kallasa, leading to "massive fires", amid clashes between rebel and troops. The UK-based monitoring group's director, Rami Abdul Rahman, described them as "the most intense strikes in months" on the two areas, with three women and three children among the 13 dead. The Aleppo Media Centre said the fires were caused by "incendiary phosphorus bombs". Video footage posted by it and another pro-opposition activist group, Thiqa, showed intense blazes lighting up the night sky. The Syrian Observatory said the Amariya, Old City and Project 1070 areas also came under aerial attack, while rebel shells fell on government-controlled Bustan al-Zahra and Mashariqa. Separately, the Observatory said 11 people had died and dozens were hurt in a suicide attack in the rebel-held village of Inkhil in southern Deraa province. A key rebel figure and head of the Deraa provincial council, Yakoub al-Ammar, was among those killed, Syria's opposition National Coalition said. Russia and the US, which support Syria's government and opposition respectively, are attempting to revive the cessation of hostilities and will co-chair a meeting of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) in New York later on Thursday. But the prospects for progress are thin, says the BBC's James Longman in Beirut. In an address to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that there would be "no more unilateral pauses" by Syrian government forces. US Secretary of State John Kerry meanwhile called for all military aircraft in Syria to be grounded in the wake of the aid convoy attack. US officials told the BBC on Tuesday that their information clearly indicated that it was an air strike, and that two Russian Su-24 ground attack aircraft were in the sky above the convoy at the precise moment it came under fire. Russian officials have vigorously denied the allegation and said that a US Predator drone was flying above the area at the time. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also defended his key ally on Thursday, insisting that whatever American officials said "had no credibility" and were "just lies". In an interview with the Associated Press, he also said an air strike by the US-led coalition against so-called Islamic State in the eastern city of Deir al-Zour on Saturday, which killed dozens of Syrian soldiers, was "definitely intentional". "It wasn't an accident by one airplane," he said. "It was four airplanes that kept attacking the position of the Syrian troops for nearly one hour, or a little bit more than one hour. You don't commit a mistake for more than one hour." Scientists at the University of Sussex found conversations can cause the driver to visually imagine what they are talking about. This uses a part of the brain normally used to watch the road, the University of Sussex study said. The findings made the case for all phones to be banned from cars, according to the lead researcher. It is illegal in the UK to ride a motorcycle or drive using hand-held phones or similar devices. Drivers can get an automatic fixed penalty notice if caught using one. They will get three penalty points on their licence and a fine of £100. The law currently says drivers can use hands-free phones, sat navs and two-way radios, but if the police think the driver is distracted and not in control of the vehicle, they could get penalised. The study involved 20 male and 40 female volunteers who took part in video tests while sitting in a car seat behind a steering wheel. One group of volunteers were allowed to "drive" undistracted while another two heard a male voice from a loudspeaker 3ft (0.9m) away. Those who were distracted by the voice engaging them in conversation took just under a second longer to respond to events, such as a pedestrian stepping off the pavement, an oncoming car on the wrong side of the road or an unexpected vehicle parked at a junction. The study showed that asking a simple question - such as, "where did you leave the blue file?"- during phone conversations could mean a driver concentrates on an area four times smaller than normal, because their brain is imagining the room where they left the file, instead of checking for hazards in front of them. Alice Husband's seven-year-old son Seth died in December 2014, two weeks after he was hit by a car driven by a woman who was talking to a friend on her mobile phone using the loudspeaker function. Mrs Husband told BBC Radio 5 live she agreed with the coroner, who said at her son's inquest that the use of the mobile phone would have had an impact. "If my son perhaps wasn't so excited and didn't run, if he walked across the road - he's a child - if the driver hadn't been speaking on her mobile phone, all of these things could have made a difference to him, but at the end of the day it was a terrible accident and nothing is going to bring Seth back," she said. "I think even just using a CD player; obviously we all know it is distracting because you are looking away from the road and I think we need to be more aware of how any distraction influences our driving and how important it is not to be distracted by such things if you get a phone call." Dr Graham Hole, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Sussex, said the research laid bare the "popular misconception that using a mobile phone while driving is safe as long as the driver uses a hands-free phone". "The problem is enforceability - it's very difficult for the police to tell if someone's using a hands-free phone," he said. "But on balance, I think the law should be changed to get the right message across and make it absolutely clear that any use of a mobile phone while driving is hazardous." Other studies have suggested that phone conversations in a car are more off-putting than listening to the radio or talking to a passenger, Dr Hole added. A passenger chatting in a car is less distracting, the researchers argue, because both stop talking when the driver needs to concentrate. Alice Bailey, from road safety charity Brake, said: "These are life and death decisions, these extra three car lengths is the difference between a child dying and a child living and we just think the law needs to change. "We need one clear law. All phones, hand-held and hands-free, need to be banned in cars - the only safe phone is one that is switched off. "How important is any phone conversation that lives are lost?" Kevin Clinton, from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said he was not surprised by the study's findings and also called for a law banning the use of hands-free phones in cars. "Sadly, people continue to lose their lives on our roads in crashes caused by drivers who are distracted because they use a mobile phone," he said. "This can so easily be avoided by all drivers switching off their phones while driving, and only checking messages once they have stopped in a safe place."

An unnamed studio is reported to be in talks to adapt The Bad Boys of Brexit - former UKIP donor Arron Banks's account of Mr Farage's Brexit campaign. Mr Farage said he was not directly involved in the project. But talks were due to take place between the studio and Mr Banks next month in Los Angeles. According to the Sunday Times, Benedict Cumberbatch is being tipped to play Mr Farage, although the former UKIP leader joked: "I have to play myself, obviously." He suggested the project, which is reported to be a six-part TV adaptation, would be unlikely to get off the ground if it was "just about Brexit" but interest had been generated because it was "linked directly to Mr Trump's presidency itself". Mr Farage appeared alongside Mr Trump on the campaign trail last year, when the Republican candidate said he hoped to emulate Brexit by upsetting the political establishment. Mr Farage, who has ruled out a fourth bid for the leadership of his party, is a frequent visitor to the US, where he works as a contributor to Fox News. "As an idea it [Brexit] has taken America by storm," Mr Farage told BBC News, adding that he was often "accosted in the street" by Americans who wanted to discuss it with him. He has dined with the president at his Trump hotel in Washington DC and was the first British politician to meet him after he assumed office. The Bad Boys of Brexit: Tales of Mischief Mayhem and Guerrilla Warfare in the EU referendum campaign is described by publisher Biteback as a tale that lurches "from comedy to crisis (often several times a day)". Biteback boss Iain Dale told the Daily Mail there was a "real appetite for this kind of thing" in America, with the success of shows such as House of Cards. He said the Brexit script had been written from the point of Gerry Gunster, an American pollster who was drafted in to advise Mr Banks's Leave.EU campaign. Andy Wigmore, a close associate of Mr Banks, has said they were approached about a possible adaptation of the book just before Christmas, when they were visiting Mr Trump in New York, and initially thought it was a "joke" but it was "very serious".

Nigel Farage has said his friendship with Donald Trump is probably why a Hollywood studio is interested in making a TV series about Brexit.

On the back of Nico Rosberg winning his first - and, as it's turned out, only - F1 title in November, we asked you to select your favourite one-time champion from a list of the 17 men to achieve that feat. You voted in your thousands and in the end the result came out overwhelmingly in favour of 1992 champion Mansell, who attracted nearly a third of the vote. His 32% share was almost double that of fellow Briton James Hunt, the 1976 champion, who got 17%. Recently retired Jenson Button, title-winner in 2009, completed the top three with 14%. The BBC's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson is among those who rank Mansell as the best in this particular field. "It's a close call with John Surtees and Jochen Rindt," he said. "But it has to be Nigel Mansell, all that muscular bravery and speed allowing him to race toe-to-toe with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost and hold his head high." The road to F1 was a rocky one for Mansell, marred by serious injury and financial difficulty, and it remained turbulent after he finally clawed his way into the elite with Lotus in 1980. His three races in that debut season brought two retirements and one failure to qualify. To add injury to insult, he also severely burned his backside in his very first race, in Austria, after fuel leaked on to his seat. It was a painful moment but also a prescient one, because high drama mixed with a dollop of gritty determination were traits that that would come to typify Mansell's F1 career. In Dallas in 1984 he famously collapsed after pushing his car over the finish line in scorching temperatures, while at the 1987 Austrian Grand Prix at the Osterreichring he banged his head on a low-bridge during the post-race celebrations. It took him five long years to win his first race - the 1985 European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch for Williams - after which the victories came thick and fast. His first spell at Williams brought world title tilts in 1986, when a blown tyre famously ended his hopes in Adelaide, and 1987, when a heavy qualifying crash in Suzuka did likewise. But among the pain and frustration there were major successes, most memorably on home soil at the British Grand Prix, which he won on four occasions, in 1986, 1987 - a race famous for Mansell's stunning overtake on Nelson Piquet into Stowe - 1991 and 1992. Writing in 2013, the BBC's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson described that 1987 Silverstone win as the "consummation of a love affair that lasted until Mansell's retirement in 1992". The written media gave it another description: 'Mansell mania'. "In that period, Mansell became synonymous with Silverstone," added Benson. "He set the fastest lap in every one of those races between 1987 and 1992. It is little wonder, then, that more than 200,000 people crammed into Silverstone to watch his final, dominant, victory before his home crowd." That 1992 Silverstone triumph was part of his crushing march towards that season's world title, which he finally wrapped up in Hungary - 12 years and 176 races after his debut. After quitting F1 at the end of 1992 to race in the USA - where he won the IndyCar series at his first attempt - he returned for a handful of races in 1994 and 1995 at Williams and McLaren. His final win at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix was the 31st of his career - the highest tally of any one-time champion. It was eclipsed at the time only by Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, and subsequently by Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. The overall result make interesting reading, with a clear trend towards British drivers - indeed 73% of all number-one votes cast went to drivers representing these shores. In addition to the top three, 1996 champion Damon Hill picked up 4.9% of top-rank votes, John Surtees, the 1964 title winner, 4.6%, and Mike Hawthorn, Britain's first world champion in 1958, attracted 1.4%. Kimi Raikkonen, the 2007 champion, leads the charge for non-British drivers in fourth place, while Jochen Rindt, the 1970 winner and the sport's only posthumous champion, takes fifth. Elsewhere, Giuseppe Farina, the first F1 world champion in 1950, has not seen his exploits lost in the fog of time after attracting more votes than Jody Scheckter (1979 champion), Keke Rosberg (1982), Phil Hill (1961) and Denny Hulme (1967). And finally, the other thing to take from this is to not assume that just because someone is currently making headlines they are going to attract loads of votes. The newest world champion on this list, Nico Rosberg, is down in 10th place after attracting just 1.8% of all top votes cast.

He's seventh on the all-time list of grand prix winners, enjoyed a stellar 15-year career and was rated by many as the strongest and bravest driver in an era of megastars - and now Nigel Mansell has been named Formula 1's greatest one-time world champion by BBC Sport readers.

The Shanghai Composite closed up 2.33% at 3,536.91 points, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed up 0.44% at 22,479.69. Elsewhere, Asian stocks were mixed despite a strong lead from Wall Street. Japan's Nikkei 225 index closed down 0.4% to 19,938.13 points. The benchmark breached the key 20,000 level for the first time since August on Tuesday. Reports were swirling that the Chinese government would unveil tax incentives to encourage more home purchases to stimulate the once red-hot property market. Australian shares were lower despite third quarter growth figures coming in above expectations on rising exports. The economy grew 2.5% in the three months to September from a year ago, compared with 1.9% in the previous quarter and above forecasts of 2.4%. But investors seemed to ignore the positive economic data with the S&P/ASX 200 index ending down 0.2% to 5,258.3. South Korea's benchmark Kospi index finished lower by 0.7% to 2,009.29 after data showed that imports rose faster than exports in the export-driven economy. Exports in October rose a seasonally adjusted 1.6% from September, while imports jumped 6.1%.

Shares in mainland China led the way in an otherwise cautious day of trading in Asia, as investor sentiment there was boosted by rumours of more stimulus from Beijing.

"Putting staff back in stores, opening enough checkouts, food on the shelves and lowering prices. Not rocket science is it?" he said, following the announcement that Tesco is losing sales at a slightly slower rate than it was three months ago. To understand why Tesco is slowly turning the corner it is worth looking at the rather mundane world of the humble ham sandwich. Tesco now offers 30% fewer sandwich lines after it realised that the wide range it was selling meant that customers often could not buy their favourite, simple sandwich, like, say, one with ham in it. So, it reduced the range and increased the supply of the top sellers. Customers were happier that they could buy what they wanted and the number of transactions increased. It is the same across the business, with ranges often reduced by 20% to simplify the Tesco "offer" made to customers. To rebuild Tesco, chief executive Dave Lewis is concentrating on "volume" (that is the number of items being sold) rather than profit. He says he needs to make sure the engine is running again properly before he focuses on the bottom line. Investors appear, for the moment, to be willing to sacrifice margin (the amount of profit made on sales) to encourage customers back through the doors. As an emergency measure to right the ship, that seems reasonable to most. But in the end a business that is not making sufficient profit is not much of a business. The former Chelsea striker got the 40th-minute opener as the American club he captains and co-owns beat Whitecaps FC II 2-1. Ex-Newcastle midfielder Tiote died after collapsing in training in China. "I want to want dedicate this to Cheick Tiote who passed away doing what he loved," Drogba, 39, wrote on Instagram. "My thoughts and condolences go out to his family, the Ivory Coast and the whole of Africa, mourning the passing of one of their own." Previously known as Arizona United, Phoenix hope to become one of four planned expansion teams in the MLS over the next three years. They are in their fourth season in the Western Conference of the United Soccer League, which features several MLS reserve sides. Drogba, who had not played since leaving MLS club Montreal Impact in November, also set up former England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, 35, for a 77th-minute winner. Ivory Coast's record goalscorer hit 157 goals in 341 appearances during his first spell at Chelsea from 2004 to 2012, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League. Following moves to Shanghai Shenhua in China and Turkish side Galatasaray, he returned to the Blues for the 2014-15 season, scoring seven goals in 40 appearances, helping Jose Mourinho's side to another league title, before 18 months with Montreal.

The library also says that the costs resulting from a fire in April 2013 have had a "significant impact". In June 2014, he pledged £250,000 to shops in the UK and Ireland. Since then more than £130,000 has already been allocated to more than 70 booksellers. The funding has gone towards projects ranging from refurbishment and expansion of children's sections to organising a bedtime reading project. He said he was "impressed and enthused by the calibre of the applications". Any independent bookshop with a dedicated children's book section was eligible for a grant of between £250 and £5,000. Patterson added: "I have been completely overwhelmed by just how many people have applied for the grants second time round. "It's been very exciting to see the ideas from the first round in action. I have again worked to identify independent bookshops for whom this money may make a difference and I'm excited to follow their progress." Tim Walker, president of the Booksellers Association, said: "We are thrilled that so many UK and Irish indies have shown such creativity and passion in their applications. "For the lucky shops, the James Patterson money will make a real difference to how they reach children and encourage them to read." According to the Booksellers Association, 67 independent bookshops closed in the UK in 2013. Patterson, best known for his Alex Cross series of books, made a $1m (£590,000) donation to US bookshops last September. He is also giving 45,000 copies of his books to young readers to more than 300 schools in New York. James first played for Blues in 2006 and returned to the region in 2015 after spending two seasons with Exeter. The 29-year-old has scored 51 tries in 136 appearances over two spells with the Arms Park-based region. "Tom is a key player for us and will be an important part of what we are trying to build here," said Blues head coach Danny Wilson. "I'm delighted we have been able to secure one of the in-form Welsh players to a new, long-term contract and hope there are many more performances like we have seen so far this season to come." The 29-year-old has played 12 times for Wales - his last appearance coming against Scotland in the 2016 Six Nations championship. James has been a key player in Blues' unbeaten start to the new Pro12 season - scoring two tries in the 24-23 away win against Munster and impressing in the home win against Glasgow. "I couldn't get the deal signed quick enough," said James. "I left because I wanted to test myself in a new environment and improve as a player. I was very happy to come back ahead of last season and I feel I came back a better player. "I've been really pleased with the way things have gone and I bit Danny's hand off when he offered me this new deal." The Bundesliga club say the bus was fired at by a motorcyclist in Bielefeld in north-west Germany but added that no-one was injured. Hertha are staying near Bielefeld before their first-round tie with German second division side Arminia Bielefeld on Monday night. Only the driver was on board at the time of the shooting and police are now investigating. The vehicle was travelling from the team hotel to pick the players up from Bielefeld Central Station. Hertha say the motorcyclist had overtaken the bus and threatened the driver "with his fist", before turning and pointing a gun at the bus and the driver. Pictures from the club show the windscreen of the bus with a bullet hole. Hertha chief executive Michael Preetz said: "We are deeply shocked and hope that the perpetrators will be caught. Luckily our bus driver got off with a fright." Arminia Bielefeld tweeted: "We are shocked by the attack on the team bus from HerthaBSC." The Mahle Engine Systems employee suffered a deep cut to his elbow as a steel coil was being handled near a bonding machine on 21 October 2014. The Warwickshire-based firm admitted breaching health and safety laws. The guilty plea came after a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation found that there was no safe system of work in place covering the incident. They also found that no suitable and sufficient risk assessment had been carried out for the task. The HSE concluded that the accident could have been avoided had reasonably practicable precautions been taken. The incident happened after an employee bypassed a machine guard in an attempt to connect the ends of a steel coil that was running through a machine designed to bond aluminium alloy to steel. He was passing one of the ends of coil up to a colleague, who was standing above him on a gantry, when he was told by a manager to get out of the area. When the employee let go of the steel coil, it slipped from the grasp of his colleague on the gantry and fell, causing a deep laceration to his left elbow. Gary Aitken, head of the health and safety division at the Crown Office, said: "This was a foreseeable and avoidable accident which resulted in the serious injury of an employee. "Mahle Engine Systems UK Limited accepted liability and the Crown accepted their guilty plea to the contraventions of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. "Since this incident the company has introduced new risk assessments and has put into practice safe systems of work." He added: "It is unfortunate that these long-standing issues were only dealt with following a serious accident and it is hoped that other companies learn from this incident." A selection of photos from Africa and of Africans elsewhere in the world this week: The 22-year-old has agreed a one-year deal with the Reds, with the option of a further 12 months. Roberts made just 13 appearances last year for Scottish Premiership side Inverness because of a groin problem. The former Aldershot Town player becomes Crawley's ninth signing of the summer transfer window. Roberts scored 11 goals in 86 league appearances for Aldershot before his move to Caley Thistle last summer. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. As his trial opened, Rurik Jutting pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter but this was rejected. Police found the bodies of Sumarti Ningsih and Seneng Mujiasih in Mr Jutting's apartment in November 2014. Mr Jutting, 31, faces a possible life sentence if convicted in what is Hong Kong's biggest murder trial in years. Jurors were warned they would have to see "extremely upsetting" images during the trial, including video taken on Mr Jutting's phone. Read more: Sumarti Ningsih's story "Not guilty to murder by reason of diminished responsibility, but guilty to manslaughter," Mr Jutting said according to AFP news agency, entering his plea for the first time in the city's High Court. He also pleaded guilty to a third charge of unlawful burial of a body. Mr Jutting, who has been detained at a maximum security prison since his arrest, has already been deemed psychiatrically fit to stand trial. Rurik Jutting appeared noticeably thinner in court than during his earlier pre-trial hearings. He arrived flanked by four police officers. Clean-shaven, he wore a smart blue shirt and black spectacles. The Cambridge educated banker took notes and appeared calm and collected as he pleaded not guilty to murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The jury were warned that they would be expected to look at extremely violent evidence during the trial. The court heard that the defendant recorded scenes of torture inflicted on his first victim on his phone. Police were called to Mr Jutting's luxury apartment in Hong Kong's Wan Chai area early on 1 November 2014. They found one of the victims with knife wounds on her neck and buttock, police reports at the time said. Later they found the body of the other victim in a suitcase decomposing. Both women were in their 20s. The gruesome deaths shocked the city, widely considered among the safest in the world. Mr Jutting, a Cambridge University graduate, worked at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch as a securities trader up until a few days before the discovery of the bodies. The Portaferry woman admitted to some tiredness after a busy day of travelling on Friday and further morning drive from Dublin to Belfast. "My legs are a little heavy but I came here to get the win and I did that," said Mageean after clocking 2:07.49. Mageean's 4:04.49 1500m in Rome booked her place at the World Championships. In the loaded field at Thursday's Diamond League meeting, Mageean finished 10th but that still represented a fine run with several world-class performers behind the county Down woman. Mageean set her personal best of 4:01.46 at the Diamond League series in Paris last August but she admits that she is still having to get used to racing in such high-class company. "You are super nervous but that's where I want to be. I want it be a regular occurrence that I run in Diamond League meets." Last year's European Championship bronze medallist will race in the London Diamond League meeting on 9 July and before that will have an 800m outing in Sligo the week after next. The majority of the local athletes to have achieved Commonwealth Games consideration standards were in action at the Mary Peters Track although Rio Olympian Kerry O'Flaherty had to pull out of the 1500m after suffering a recurrence of her recent calf problem following a steeplechase outing in France on Friday. Sprinter Leon Reid went closest to adding to the list of athletes with Commonwealth standards as his 200m heat time of 20.81 was only 0.04 outside the Gold Coast standard. With a less favourable wind, Reid clocked 21.12 in the final to complete a sprint double after winning the 100m in 10.59 which left him ahead of Paralympic star Jason Smyth (10.76). Emma Mitchell, who has the Commonwealth 10,000m standard, won the women's metric mile in 4:24.18 after showing an impressive turn of foot to pull away from Ann-Marie McGlynn on the final lap. Letterkenny athlete Danny Mooney's hopes of achieving the 1500m standard of 3:41.10 were dashed as he ran out of gas on the final lap to clock 3:44.40 after being paced to 1000m by his club-mate Darren McBrearty. Derry Track Club athlete Adam Kirk-Smith, who has the 3,000m steeplechase standard, finished third in 3:50.45 with City of Derry's Conor Bradley just over three seconds behind Mooney. Michael McKillop showed encouraging form in the same race as a time of 4:04.17 left him in 10th place as he prepares for the IPC World Championships in London next month. "I ran 4:16 recently so that was a big improvement today. I was very happy with that," said the four-time Paralympic gold medallist. Amy Foster, who has achieved the 100m consideration standard, won the women's 200m in 24.13 which left her ahead of southern pair Steph Creanor (25.19) and Roisin Harrison (25.26) with 400m hurdler Christine McMahon (25.27) in fourth place. After securing the Commonwealth 110m hurdles consideration standard with a 13.60 clocking last weekend, Ben Reynolds crossed the line in 13.99 on Saturday as windy conditions again affected a sprint event. One of the performances of the day was produced by 16-year-old Beechmount Harrier Davicia Patterson who cut over a second off her 400m personal best as she clocked 54.50 to finish second. DCH athlete Catherine McManus (54.36) was pushed all the way by the Belfast youngster who will represent Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas later this summer. The men's 400m was also an excellent race as Ballymena & Antrim winner Craig Newell (47.31), runner-up Ben Maze (47.55) and Nenagh's Paul White (47.88) were all under 48 seconds. Doctors suspect the 51-year-old athlete succumbed to an unusual, but severe form of an infection called Weil's disease or leptospirosis. It's likely that Holmes, who had been involved in coaching over the past two years after returning to the sport, caught the disease from contact with dirty river water. How worried should we all be about this disease? Leptospirosis is found all over the world, including in the UK, but generally is more of a problem in hot places, like the tropics. Animals, like rats and cattle, carry the bacterium and it can spread it to humans who come into close contact. In the UK it is people like farmers, who work with animals, who are at greatest risk of infection. • Never drink water from a river or lake • Only drink from your own water bottle • Always shower after contact with the water • Wash hands thoroughly and shower if necessary before eating or drinking • Cover cuts and abrasions (including blisters) with waterproof dressings • Wear suitable footwear when launching or retrieving a boat, • Avoid immersion in, or contact with, water, particularly if there is an algal scum or bloom • If contaminated water has been swallowed, consult a doctor • Hose down all equipment after outings to remove any potential contamination But watersport fanatics, like canoeists and divers, who come into contact with lakes and rivers should also beware. This is because the infection can be carried in water contaminated with animal urine. The bacterium responsible can enter the body via cuts and abrasions of the skin, or through the thin lining of the throat, nose, mouth or eyes. In recent years, the number of cases of infections have numbered in the 60s and 70s in England and Wales, according to the Health Protection Agency. Each year the disease kills two to three people, says the HPA, which has been gathering data on infections since 1996. And it is still a threat even if you are a fit rower who is in great shape for a middle-aged man. Chris Williams, club chairman of the Tideway Scullers School in London, said the rowing community was shocked by Andy Holmes' death. "It's very sad about Andy. We used to pass each other on the water from time to time. "The disease is something all rowers know about. It's in all of our literature and safety programmes that stress good hygiene, like keeping cuts covered. "But I don't ever remember hearing about another case like this. "Everyone in the rowing world is enormously sad. He was a regular coach on the tidal part of the Thames where he trained club athletes. He was an icon who put time back into the sport and was heavily involved in rowing. It is a shame he can no longer do so." He said it was unusual to catch Weil's from a stretch of river like the Tideway because it is a moving body of water. "It tends to be stagnant water that is more unsafe." Steve Redgrave told BBC Radio 5 live: "it is very rare that anything happens because normally rivers flow fast enough and dilute it." Tony Reynolds, regional safety advisor for the Thames Region Rowing Council, said it was difficult to know where Andy might have caught the infection from. "We just don't know and that is the worst thing. It can take weeks after catching the infection to develop the symptoms, which makes it harder to trace." Symptoms can range from none at all to a mild flu-like illness, or a more severe illness called Weil's disease, with jaundice and kidney failure. In most cases, with antibiotic treatment, the person will make a complete recovery. But for a few, it can be fatal even with the best hospital care. Mr Reynolds said: "It's important not to speculate. But it shows that anyone can be at risk and how important it is to protect yourself. "The disease is out there. Thankfully, there is enough information out there too to reduce your chance of being infected." British Rowing says simple precautions, like covering cuts, scratches or sores with a waterproof plaster and showering after going out on the river, can minimise risk. The former Sweden international headed home from a brilliant Jesse Lingard delivery after only five minutes to put the visitors ahead. Ibrahimovic struck again just after the break when his effort from inside the box went in off Baggies defender Craig Dawson. United are now unbeaten in 10 matches in all competitions and have drawn level on points in the Premier League with fifth-place Tottenham, who play Burnley on Sunday. The Baggies remain in seventh place and are now seven points off the European places. Ibrahimovic's double at the Hawthorns brings the striker to 16 goals for the season - 11 more than any of his team-mates. Lingard will take huge credit for the opening goal, though, after his sublime cross from the right landed perfectly for the Swede, who headed down past Ben Foster from eight yards out. His second goal was teed up by captain Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic managed to worm his way into the box before striking with his right foot on 55 minutes. Rooney, meanwhile, must wait again to equal Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 goals for the club, after he saw a first-half strike from outside the area forced on to the bar by Foster. West Brom have won three of their past six meetings with United but they could not stop their opponents from dominating possession on Saturday evening. Tony Pulis' side managed one shot on target all match, when Chris Brunt fired at David de Gea in the first half. Salomon Rondon scored three headers in his side's mid-week victory over Swansea but on this occasion he could only nod wide from Matt Phillips' cross. It means the Baggies miss out on equalling their Premier League club record of four consecutive home victories. United manager Jose Mourinho was forced to defend Marcos Rojo following Wednesday's win over Crystal Palace, after the defender escaped with a yellow card for a two-footed lunge - the second incident of its kind this month. Defender Rojo went in the book again against West Brom after clashing with Rondon. The pair were booked for dissent after the Baggies striker appeared to push his opponent in the chest, before slapping him across the face. Ibrahimovic may have been lucky to escape with only a yellow card - his sixth of the season - when he barged Dawson off the ball with some force - much to the disdain of the home fans. And in the latter stages of the game Chris Brunt took out an on-rushing Marcus Rashford and was also booked. When asked about Ibrahimovic's punishment after the match, Pulis replied: "Ask the 28,000 fans what they thought of it." Media playback is not supported on this device West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "We gave them a poor goal at the start, which was disappointing. It knocked us a little bit flat. "At half-time I said 'let's make sure we stay in the game, we'll grow into it' and I thought we would. The last thing we wanted was that second goal. It was very fortuitous. "We've played against a team who have found some form and you can see why." Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on Ibrahimovich: "He is the kind of player who doesn't need to prove anything to anyone but when he decided to come to England for the last period of his career - to the most difficult championship in the world - I think he proved he is a superman in his mentality. "What he is doing at 35 is a dream for every striker of 25 in the Premier League. I need to give him a rest. Now we have a little rest for the first time. It is not just him but everybody." Manchester United welcome former manager David Moyes back to Old Trafford when Sunderland visit on Boxing Day, while West Brom travel to Arsenal.

They form the centrepiece of a display on mammoths at the Dinosaur Museum in Dorchester. Their tusks could grow to 5m (16ft) but only 1.5m (5ft) sections are on show. At the time the animal died the North Sea did not exist and the area was low-lying grassland connecting the British Isles to the continent. When the North Sea formed at the end of the last ice age, the tusks became buried in the thin layers of sand at the bottom of the shallow southern part of it. They remained there for thousands of years and eventually tidal currents and dredging released the fossilised remains, which were caught in the fishing nets of a trawler earlier this year. Tim Batty, curator of the Dinosaur Museum, said the tusks were unusually coloured because they had been in water for so long. He said: "The new display comes at a time when new research has revealed that humans were not responsible for the extinction of the mammoths. "It had traditionally been thought that mammoths had been hunted to extinction. "However it now appears that it was climate change that caused their extinction. "Mammoths were well adapted to the low temperatures of the ice age. "The climatic conditions during the ice age did not favour the growth of trees and consequently there were extensive grasslands for the mammoths to graze on. "However with the end of the ice age and the warming of temperatures, tree growth accelerated causing a spread of forests and dramatically reducing the available food supply for mammoths." Sonny Richards, 24, also pleaded guilty to careless driving while under the influence of alcohol and failing to stop on 12 March. Nathan Dale, a 34-year-old father and RNLI volunteer, was wearing a helmet and lights when he was hit by Richards who was on the wrong side of the road. CCTV showed Richards driving with no lights. Plymouth Crown Court was told Mr Dale was struck on Outland Road in Plymouth shortly after 03:00 GMT and died about an hour later. Richards sent a text message to his mother, saying: "I've let you down big time. "...Been drinking, taken a sniff, taken car, on way home hit someone, he hit the windscreen, gonna have to go tomorrow and own up." Jailing him, Judge Ian Lawrie QC said: "You are clearly not a bad person, it was never your intention to cause harm. "You are clearly caring, thoughtful, you cared for your ailing father. You have expressed a profound sense of remorse. "If you had been sober, Nathan would be alive today." David Lister, volunteer Lifeboat Operations Manager at Plymouth RNLI, said: "Nathan was a volunteer deputy launching authority with Plymouth RNLI and had been with the station for two years, providing on-call cover one weekend a month. "Not only did Nathan dedicate his time to the operation of the lifeboat, he was also involved with many fundraising events at the station, as well as volunteering with other charities. "(He) was a valued member of our team at Plymouth and he will be fondly remembered." The British world number one has not played since losing in the fourth round of the Australian Open five weeks ago. Also in the Dubai draw is Roger Federer in his first tournament since winning his 18th Grand Slam title in Melbourne. "I'm fine now, I've been training flat-out for the past few weeks," 29-year-old Murray said. "I was a bit sick for 10 days, a couple of weeks, after I got back from Australia. "I feel fresh and ready to go here. I had shingles. It's not terrible, but it's not great. I had to go easy for a little while, so I wasn't able to push that hard in training when I got back into it." Murray, who lost in four sets to unseeded Mischa Zverev at the Australian Open, said he was not sure if the illness had started developing while he was playing in Melbourne. Murray is the top seed in Dubai and faces Tunisian world number 47 Malek Jaziri in the first round, while Federer is in action on Monday against Frenchman Benoit Paire, ranked 41. US Open champion Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland is seeded second and takes on Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur in the first round. Briton Dan Evans, up to a career-high ranking of 44 after reaching the last 16 in Melbourne, faces Germany's Dustin Brown in round one. Murray plays on day one in the doubles, partnering Serbia's Nenad Zimonjic against Evans and Gilles Muller of Luxembourg. The Serious Fraud Office case relates to the way Barclays raised billions of pounds from Qatari investors during the 2008 financial crisis. Apart from Mr Varley the other three are former executives Roger Jenkins, Thomas Kalaris and Richard Boath. All were bailed to appear at the next hearing on 17 July. That will take place at Southwark Crown Court, where the accused, along with their former employer Barclays PLC, are expected to enter a plea. All four were appearing at a preliminary hearing at Westminster magistrates court. The charges mark the first time that any UK bank or its former top executives have appeared in a criminal court to face charges relating to the way they behaved during the financial crash. The senior district judge, Emma Arbuthnot, told Mr Jenkins, aged 61, and Mr Kalaris, also aged 61, to pay bail of £500,000 each, as Mr Jenkins lives in the US and Mr Kalaris has dual nationality. Mr Varley, aged 61, and Mr Boath, aged 58, were given unconditional bail. The BBC understands that the four former executives all intend to plead not guilty at the next hearing. Carl Davies, 33, a teacher from Sittingbourne in Kent, died on Reunion Island in November 2011 in what was initially treated as an accident. A murder investigation was launched 10 days later and four men were charged. One man is still due to face trial. but the family said the French authorities' decision was "a massive blow". Mr Davies, a former marine, is believed to have arrived on the French-governed island on 7 November 2011. His body was discovered at the bottom of a ravine two days later. The murder investigation began after a post-mortem examination in Kent found stab wounds and evidence Mr Davies had been beaten. Four men were charged with his murder in February 2013 but no trial has ever been held. Kerrie Stewart, Mr Davies' sister, said the decision to drop the charges against three of the suspects was "heartbreaking". "It's just a massive, massive blow. "The evidence that we thought was against them was overwhelming. It doesn't at this minute make any sense at all as to how the judge has come to his decision," she said. The family are planning to challenge the decision by appealing to the French Supreme Court. Maria Davies, Mr Davies' mother, said: "You don't steal something so precious from me and not expect us to fight. "If it takes every last penny we have and every last breath in our body we'll continue to do that." Emergency services were called after two adults and four children got into difficulties on Saturday. The incident occurred on an island in the River Almond at the Sma' Glen near Crieff. Rescuers used an inflatable sled and ropes to bring them safely to the river bank. Paramedics treated the family for the effects of the cold and wet conditions, but they did not require hospital treatment. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said water levels had risen as a result of sustained heavy rainfall overnight in the area. SFRS station manager Brian Robertson urged members of the public to consider the potential dangers of attempting to enter local rivers and lochs. He said: "Whilst we do not wish to discourage people from enjoying the countryside, we would urge the public to be aware of the potential hazards of rapidly rising water levels. "Changeable weather conditions of an unpredictable nature should not allow the opportunity for complacency or familiarity to affect your judgement, even when the river state can initially appear relatively tranquil. "Although the family were well prepared in terms of their camping trip, this serves as a reminder to ensure all safety precautions are followed, especially when camping at or near water." Water levels are expected to continue to rise over the Easter weekend, with two flood warnings currently in place for parts of Perthshire. The European Commission said talks had already started, but a Greek government spokeswoman said that high-level talks would not begin until later this week. Olga Gerovasili said that senior negotiating staff would only arrive in Athens on Thursday or later. Negotiators were initially expected to arrive last week. But Ms Gerovasili said there was "no reason" for the delay, adding it was up to Greece's creditors as to when talks began. European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva told a news briefing: "Teams from the institutions are already on the ground in Athens and work is starting immediately as we speak. "Work has started, meaning that the institutions are talking to the Greek authorities." The talks come as it emerged former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis told a group of investors in London that a five-man team under his leadership worked on a contingency plan to create euro liquidity if the European Central Bank (ECB) cut off emergency funding to the Greek financial system. Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported Mr Varoufakis as saying in a phone call that a small team in the governing Syriza party had prepared plans to secretly copy online tax codes. It said the "Plan B" was devised to allow the government to introduce a parallel payment system if the banking system was closed down, which would have seen the return of the drachma. Mr Varoufakis said passwords used by Greeks to access their online tax accounts were to have been copied secretly and used to issue new Pin numbers for every taxpayer to be used in transactions with the state. "This would have created a parallel banking system, which would have given us some breathing space, while the banks would have been shut due to the ECB's aggressive policy," Mr Varoufakis was quoted as saying. In the same phone call, Mr Varoufakis accused German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble of being "hell-bent" on ensuring Greece left the eurozone. He added that while the government had a Plan B, the difficulty was "to go from the five people who were planning it to the 1,000 people that would have to implement it". "For that I would have to receive another authorisation which never came," he said. Mr Varoufakis told the Daily Telegraph the quotes were accurate but accused the Greek press of trying to make it look as if he planned a return to the drachma from the start. "The context of all this is that they want to present me as a rogue finance minister, and have me indicted for treason. It is all part of an attempt to annul the first five months of this government and put it in the dustbin of history," he told the paper. Under new rules, bins will be inspected and stickers will be placed on those containing food. If it happens three times, black bins will not be emptied. Enforcement will begin when all homes receive food caddies - small plastic baskets designed for food waste. But the council admits caddy supplies are low after "unprecedented demand". Since the ban was announced at the start of this month, staff have been bombarded with thousands of calls from householders who are still waiting on the delivery of food caddies and biodegradable bags to line the caddies. Some are also still waiting on the delivery of large brown compost bins, which is now the only wheeled bin into which Belfast households are permitted to place food waste. In a message to ratepayers on its Facebook page, the council said it had received orders for 10,000 food caddies over the last two weeks alone. Their post added that "due to the high demand, our delivery time has been a little longer than usual as we work our way through orders". The council thanked residents for their "patience" while the recycling changes are rolled out. Despite the delay, food waste stickers have already started to appear on black bins across the city, which has caused some concern among residents. One Facebook user complained to the council that the implementation of the changes had been a "shambles". "I had to explain to a very upset OAP that she wasn't going to get fined because of the sticker," he wrote. The man complained that his "entire street hasn't received brown bins yet, while most have requested weeks ago". In a statement to the BBC, a council spokeswoman said: "Stickers that are being put on bins at the moment are reminders only - not warning stickers". "We haven't started enforcement yet as we're aware some residents are still waiting for their food caddy and/or brown compost bin." She clarified that the reminder stickers are being being placed on all black bins, regardless of their contents, and that the move was in conjunction with leaflets sent out by the council explaining the changes. A date for the start of bin inspections and enforcement has not yet been confirmed. The aim of the food waste ban is reduce the amount of un-recycled rubbish that is currently been thrown into black bins, which ends up on landfill sites. Councils are required by law to reduce landfill waste, or face fines which will ultimately have to be paid by ratepayers. Belfast City Council currently supplies biodegradable bags to line food caddies free of charge, at householders' request. However, several Facebook users replied to the council's message, complaining that bags they had recently ordered had not been delivered. The council replied: "We understand some residents have been having issues when requesting green bags, and this is something we're working hard to address." Its spokeswoman told the BBC that during the last two weeks the council's recycling team had handled "almost 18,000 calls and we've distributed almost 23,000 rolls of green recycling bags". "We still have orders for 15,000 green bags which will be delivered in the coming days. "It is keeping up with the unprecedented demand for caddies and green bags that is causing delays, not a supply problem." The outcome of last month's referendum "adds to the uncertainty" for the global economy, the group of the world's 20 largest economies said. It urged the UK to remain "a close partner of the EU", amid concerns Brexit talks could be acrimonious. Chancellor Philip Hammond said Brexit had come up "a great deal" at the G20. "The reality is there will be a measure of uncertainty continuing right up to the conclusion of our negotiations with the EU," he told reporters. Following the meeting in the Chinese city of Chengdu, the G20 group said it had the tools to cope with the potential economic and financial consequences from the referendum result. Other factors complicating the world economy include geopolitical conflicts, terrorism and refugee flows, according to the G20. The president of Germany's central bank, Jens Weidmann, said there were no signs yet that economic development in Europe had been affected by the UK's referendum on 23 June. The G20 members agreed that despite the Brexit vote the global economy would improve in 2016 and 2017, Mr Weidmann said. However, new figures on UK companies in the three months to the end of June have raised concerns about the health of the economy before the Brexit vote. Sixty-six UK listed companies issued profit warnings in the second quarter, which was the most for that period since the financial crisis in 2008, according to accountants EY. Alan Hudson, EY's head of restructuring in the UK and Ireland, said: "It's been a dizzyingly unpredictable time since the UK voted to leave the European Union. "What we saw in the second quarter - and are still seeing now - is the initial impact of this uncertainty." Analysts expect economic data on Wednesday to show the UK economy grew by about 0.5% in the second quarter compared with the previous three months. Last week the International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgraded its forecasts for UK economic growth, from 1.9% to 1.7% for 2016, and for the global economy, from 3.2% to 3.1%. On Sunday IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said the G20 had taken place at a time of "political uncertainty from the Brexit vote and continued financial market volatility". In a statement the G20 finance officials said the global economic recovery was continuing "but remains weaker than desirable". Separately, G20 policymakers said they recognised that excess steel supply was a global issue. The excess capacity of steel has had a negative impact on trade and workers and requires a collective response, they said. More than 90% of the islanders are ethnic Melanesians, but there has been intense and bitter rivalry between the Isatabus on Guadalcanal, the largest island, and migrant Malaitans from the neighbouring island. Fighting broke out in 1998 when the Isatabu Freedom Movement began to force Malaitans out, accusing them of taking land and jobs. Around 20,000 people abandoned their homes, with many subsequently leaving Guadalcanal. Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring A rival militia group, the Malaitan Eagle Force, staged a coup in June 2000 and forced the then prime minister to resign, saying he had failed to deal with the crisis, which had left up to 100 dead. An Australian-brokered peace deal was signed in October 2000. But lawlessness continued and an Australian-led peacekeeping force arrived in July 2003. The force arrested many rebel commanders, collected thousands of illegally-held weapons and oversaw a slow return to order. The military contingent withdrew in 2013 leaving solely a policing mission. The Australian intervention also provided for the appointment of foreign nationals to government posts and included financial assistance; Australia says it aims to make the country self-sustaining. Prosperity remains elusive. Civil war left the country almost bankrupt, and post-election riots in April 2006 sent some of the advances made since 2003 up in smoke. The World Bank says the Solomon Islands, one of the Pacific's poorest countries, has been hit by successive global food, fuel and financial crises. In 2009, with a fall in log exports and a major drop in international commodity prices, growth fell to just one percent. Economic hopes have been pinned on the resumption of palm oil production and gold mining. The Solomon Islands chain consists of several large volcanic islands to the south-east of Papua New Guinea, as well as outlying islands and atolls. The terrain is mountainous and heavily forested. During World War II the island of Guadalcanal saw some of the fiercest fighting in the Pacific theatre as the US battled to wrest control of the territory from Japanese occupiers. The 20-year-old's arrival on an 18-month contract follows a trial at Oakwell last week. He only made two substitute appearances for United, but played eight games for Barrow during a loan spell earlier this season, scoring four goals. "This is a great opportunity for him to kickstart his career," boss Lee Johnson told the Barnsley website. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. On the one hand a crowd of more than 4,000 at Cardiff Arms Park yielded a profit on a Wales women's home for the first time. But the 63-0 scoreline in favour of England underlined that in spite of the strides made off the field there remains a chasm in playing terms between the very best and the rest. So what's next for the women's game in Wales? And how can they bridge the playing gap between the full-time professionals of England and the amateurs with jobs who wear the red shirts? Wales women's team manager Caroline Spanton says despite the heavy defeat to England, playing all home games at Cardiff Arms Park has been an important development. In previous seasons Wales have played home matches at various stadiums around the country. "In terms of everything else around that day and that event it was hugely successful," she said. "First of all it was to get the girls playing in a stadium of the right quality and of an international footing. That was a huge milestone in terms of Wales' women being represented in quality stadia. "[It was] hugely positive. Playing in the Arms Park was not a decision that happened overnight. "That has been a good 18 months in the making to make sure could do that" Spanton added. The squad is coached by former Wales men's defence coach Rowland Phillips who made 10 appearances for Wales in the back row. He saw a positive aspect to the defeat by an England team made up of either fully or semi-professional athletes. "I think the main thing now is that I've got 23 players who have experienced absolute top level rugby and that is going to be invaluable going forward," he said. "What we can do now is to try and close that gap". Olympian Jasmine Joyce makes her debut in the full-form of the sport against Scotland on Friday night after appearing for Team GB's seven a side team at the 2016 Rio Games. Student Joyce says it is challenging at times for the women in red to handle rugby and life commitments. "We have teachers, personal trainers, it is hard work and a lot of girls find it hard to fit in a gym sessions in or running but we all fit it in somewhere and that is what makes us our team," she said. "It is hard work." Spanton says the team's immediate focus is not success on the field during the current season. "We are looking and planning for the future so we are not talking about the next year or 18 months," she said. "We know this is a long term plan. "Rowland said this is not about the Six Nations for 2017 or necessarily the World Cup in 2017 it is about the next four years and the next eight years and he is committed to that. "On the performance front our aspirations are to get on the [World Rugby Sevens] World Series for our sevens programme, to achieve success at the Commonwealth Games in the longer term and also to medal at the World Cup "My role is to champion and lobby for the women's game and it is to champion and make sure these athletes get better support. "I will not stop until I make sure we are getting it and looking after these players and I do have the backing of the Union for that". Joyce says any women's player from would jump at the chance to become a professional. In the build-up to Rio she spent a year playing and preparing full-time as a sevens player so understands the benefits of not having to juggle a job or studies with playing. "As a player anyone would dream of a being a professional rugby player and that is the route we all want to go down," she said. Scott Cain and Ashley Clarke suffocated in the nitrogen-filled apple container, where the oxygen level was 1%. They were trying to retrieve apples for an agricultural competition. Andrew Stocker, who was boss of the fruit farm at Tory peer Lord Selborne's Hampshire estate, had encouraged the practice nicknamed "scuba diving". The two men got in through a small hatch in the roof of the sealed container. Stocker, 57, of The Links, Whitehill, Bordon, Hampshire, had denied manslaughter, but admitted exposing the men to a risk of death. He was on holiday in the Maldives at the time of the men's deaths, but had left instructions. Mr Cain, 23, and Mr Clarke, 24, who were both assistants at the farm at the Blackmoor Estate in Liss, were found lying on crates of apples. Colleagues and paramedics attempted to revive them, but were unsuccessful and both men were declared dead at the scene. Mark Dennis QC, prosecuting during the trial at Winchester Crown Court, said anyone entering the unit would "die immediately" once they ran out of air. The apples were stored for preservation in nitrogen gas. Mr Dennis said accepted practice in the industry for gathering samples was to use a net to hook out the fruit. The apples the men were looking for were to be entered in the Marden Fruit Show in Kent. Mr Dennis said: "Andrew Stocker was a keen participant in this competition and took pride in his entries. "Financial prizes were very modest; however, it was the kudos of winning that was more important. "The defendant knew that the only way the best samples could be gathered is for someone to enter from the top hatch and make a selection of fruit." Mr Cain was 23, engaged and had a young child, and had been working at Blackmoor Estates since 2009 as a pack house assistant. Mr Clarke, 24, who was also engaged, had been working as an assistant checking the quality of fruit for eight months. His parents Ian and Sharon Clarke described the trial as "emotionally draining". In a statement, they said "collecting apples from confined atmosphere units with virtually no oxygen" was not a "safe and acceptable practice". "Whilst we recognise [Mr Stocker] is not a bad man and did not mean to harm Ashley, his negligent actions led to his death. "We as a family... will be serving a life sentence as we try to come to terms with the loss of a son and brother who we shall never see again," the statement said. Adrian Barlow, chief executive of English Apples & Pears Ltd, which represents apple growers throughout the UK, said the industry was "appalled and shocked" by the "tragic incident". He said: "There has always been a golden rule that you should never enter a controlled atmosphere store until it has been fully vented and the oxygen level has risen above 19.5%." All operatives had reviewed their operating procedures, equipment, and security since the deaths, he said. Det Sgt Rich Sellwood, of Hampshire Constabulary, said the deaths were "completely avoidable". He added: "It is a tragedy for all involved. We hope that lessons will be learned that prevent this from ever happening again." It can now be reported that Blackmoor Estate Ltd pleaded guilty to three offences related to contravening health and safety regulations in January. The company and Stocker will be sentenced on 1 July. Her achievements earned her the freedom of "Steel City" where she grew up and forged her skills as an athlete. And it is in the city which has always remained her training base that news of her retirement has been keenly felt. Former sports minister and Sheffield MP Richard Caborn said: "She is an exemplar for Sheffield and the nation." You can read more stories about inspiring sportspeople on our Pinterest board He leads the delivery of the Olympic Legacy Park which will stand on the site of the former Don Valley Stadium where Ennis-Hill trained and competed. The stadium was pulled down in November 2013 as part of budget cuts by the city council - a decision the 30-year-old athlete described as "a huge shame" and "a massive disappointment". Less than a year earlier, thousands of people had packed the city centre to celebrate their golden girl's achievements at homecoming celebrations outside the city's Town Hall. In the same month, Sheffield United football club renamed a stand at its Bramall Lane stadium 'The Jessica Ennis Stand' in her honour. Just over a year later on 5 September 2013 Ennis-Hill was awarded the Freedom of the City of Sheffield. Richard Wright, executive director of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, said: "People will be sorry to hear that Jess is retiring for many reasons. "She has been an inspiration to so many of us and by being the face of London 2012 she really raised the profile of Sheffield. "My immediate reaction is 'Thank you very much for what you've done for all of us'. "I hope she doesn't retire from public life altogether. Jess is a genuine role model with an amazing personality in the world of sport and has the capability of being an important ambassador for that and our great city." Sheffield City Council leader Julie Dore said: "Sheffield is so very proud of Jess and her amazing achievements. "She is one of the city's greatest ever athletes and was awarded Freedom of the City in 2013. She has been an inspiration to all in the city and her legacy will continue. "We've followed her every step of the way on her journey to becoming one of Britain's most successful female athletes. A great ambassador for sport, she has represented Sheffield and the UK with real grace and humility. "She truly is a role model for so many people and we would like to wish her good luck and success in her future". Young athletes at Ennis-Hill's old school, King Ecgbert's in Dore, Sheffield, told the BBC how the famous former pupil continues to inspire the school's budding sports stars. Sarah, a year 9 pupil, said: "She was a very big inspiration and I loved watching her running and win most of her races. "Not seeing her face is going to kind be upsetting because usually you just see her crossing the finish line first or getting over the highest jump and it's not going to be like that any more. "There's pictures all over the school so wherever you look you're kind of like 'Oh, Jessica Ennis went here'." Year 12 student Amy said: "I think Jessica Ennis is a huge inspiration and just because she's retired, I don't think this is going to mean she'll stop being an inspiration because I think her legacy will live on." Ennis-Hill's announcement also prompted tributes on social media from other figures with links to Sheffield. Former Sheffield Central MP Richard Caborn said: "I want to congratulate Jessica on an outstanding career. "Her success has been a massive inspiration to the hundreds of thousands of youngsters who take part in sports camps, sports days and athletics sessions every year at the English Institute of Sport Sheffield where she trained. "She's consistently proved herself at the highest level and she should feel incredibly proud of all she's done and achieved." Ms Cafferkey is in an isolation unit in London after tests indicated the Ebola virus is still present in her body. The health board confirmed she was sent home by an out-of-hours doctor in Glasgow earlier this week. In an interview with the Sunday Mail newspaper, her sister Toni Cafferkey said it was "absolutely diabolical" the way the nurse had been treated. Ms Cafferkey, from Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, spent almost a month in isolation at the beginning of the year after contracting the virus in December 2014. Bodily tissues can harbour the Ebola infection months after the person appears to have fully recovered. On Tuesday, the 39-year-old was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow after feeling unwell. She was later flown to the Royal Free Hospital in London where she remains in a serious condition in an isolation unit. She is not thought to be contagious. How can Ebola come back? Toni Cafferkey told the Sunday Mail that her sister had gone to a GP out-of-hours clinic at the Victoria Hospital in Glasgow on Monday night but the doctor who assessed her diagnosed a virus and sent her home. She said: "At that point me and my family believe they missed a big opportunity to give the right diagnosis and we feel she was let down. Instead of being taken into hospital, she spent the whole of Tuesday very ill. "I think it is absolutely diabolical the way she has been treated... We don't know if the delays diagnosing Pauline have had an adverse effect on her health, but we intend to find out. "It has not been good enough. We think there have been major failings and we just want her to pull through. This kind of recurrence seems to be rare but we don't yet know enough about it." NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed that Ms Cafferkey did attend the New Victoria Hospital GP out-of-hours service on Monday. A spokesman said: "Her management and the clinical decisions taken based on the symptoms she was displaying at the time were entirely appropriate. "All appropriate infection control procedures were carried out as part of this episode of care." On Friday, a statement from the Royal Free Hospital confirmed Ms Cafferkey had been transferred to the hospital "due to an unusual late complication of her previous infection by the Ebola virus". It added: "The Ebola virus can only be transmitted by direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person while they are symptomatic, so the risk to the general public remains low and the NHS has well-established and practised infection control procedures in place." Sergei Vovnenko, known as Fly, was arrested in Naples for suspected trafficking in stolen credit cards. Mr Vovnenko is also thought to have been behind the plot to send heroin to prominent blogger Brian Krebs in 2013. The plan was foiled because Mr Krebs was surreptitiously monitoring the website where the plot was hatched. Writing on his blog Mr Krebs said Mr Vovnenko was arrested thanks to a joint US and Italian investigation into his activities. When arrested Mr Vovnenko was travelling under an assumed name - Sergei Volneov. Mr Vovnenko is being held in an Italian jail and is likely to face extradition to the US, wrote Mr Krebs. He was tracked down largely thanks to several mistakes he made when trying to conceal his identity online, said Mr Krebs. These led security researchers and law enforcement to email accounts and social media profiles run by Mr Vovnenko that helped them home in on him. "This case is another reminder that nobody is anonymous, and that operational security is hard to do well consistently," wrote Mr Krebs. He believes he was targeted by Mr Vovnenko and others because of his work to expose people who trade in stolen credit cards and identities. As well as having heroin sent to him, in March 2013, Mr Krebs was "swatted". This involved a 911 call spoofed to look like it came from Mr Krebs' house where, supposedly, hostages were being held. An armed response unit investigated and this led to Mr Krebs being handcuffed and questioned before he could convince the police nothing was happening. Officials said about 2,500 homes had been destroyed, leaving 11,000 people homeless. The fire, the worst ever to hit the city of Valparaiso, broke out on Saturday and quickly spread fanned by strong winds from the hills. Fifteen people died in the blaze; many of them had refused to be evacuated. Firefighters continued to try and extinguish pockets of the blaze which still remained active on Monday night. But with forecasters predicting a cooler and less windy day for Tuesday, some residents were allowed to return to areas where the fire had been extinguished. Many found that their entire neighbourhood had been razed to the ground by the blaze which quickly spread from the wooded hills surrounding the city of 250,000 inhabitants. Valparaiso's poorest neighbourhoods, often made up of little more than wooden huts. were worst affected. Carolina Ovando, 22, said she would "rebuild right here". "Where else would I go?", the mother of three asked. Volunteers accompanied some of the residents, helping to remove debris and handing out water bottles. Some people had refused to leave altogether, fearing that looters would steal their possessions. "I will not let go of what little I have," Arturo Gomez told the AFP news agency. "This represents 15 years of effort. My wife and my four children are in a shelter." Fifteen people are confirmed to have been killed in the fire. Many of them were found in the burned-down homes they had refused to leave. Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said the fire had grown to "dimensions never seen before". She said the state would make "available all possible resources to confront this tragedy, first, with the relocation and support for families affected and as a second phase, reconstruction". On Sunday, the president declared the area destroyed by the fire a disaster zone. The government said it would send 500 million Chilean pesos ($0.9m, £0.5m) to help the clean-up effort in Valparaiso, and promised more help would be given. This is the second emergency that President Bachelet has had to face in the first month of her second term in office, after an 8.2 magnitude earthquake hit the north of the country on 1 April. Byron Lima had been serving a 20-year sentence for the murder in 1998 of Bishop Juan Jose Gerardi, an opponent of the then military regime. His lawyer said he had been shot by a rival gang within the jail. The former army captain is reported to have been one of the most powerful inmates in Guatemala's prison system. He was convicted in 2001 and sentenced to 30 years in jail, but his term was later reduced to 20 years. His lawyer said he had reports from prison inmates that Lima had recently forbidden a rival gang from selling drugs in the prison where he was serving his sentence. Lima was convicted along with his father, an army colonel, and a third soldier of the murder of Bishop Gerardi. The cleric, who was the head of the Guatemalan Catholic Church's division on human rights, was killed two days after publishing a report in which he blamed the Guatemalan army for most of the human rights abuses committed during the country's 36-year armed conflict. Media playback is unsupported on your device 16 September 2015 Last updated at 15:36 BST A humpback whale launched itself from the water and landed on their boat. Tom Mustill and Charlotte Kinloch from London were saved by their life vests and other kayakers, who were paddling just outside Monterey Bay. The moment was captured on camera by Sanctuary Cruises. The film is about a fictional plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Hackers have already carried out a cyber attack on Sony and warned the public to stay away from cinemas screening the film. The US government said it was considering a "range of options" on how to respond to the attack. "We know that criminals and foreign countries regularly seek to gain access to government and private sector networks - both in the United States and elsewhere," a National Security Council statement said, adding that the FBI was leading the investigation. "We take very seriously any attempt to threaten or limit artists' freedom of speech or of expression." The statement came after US media quoted anonymous officials as saying that the FBI had linked North Korea to the attacks. Earlier on Wednesday, the New York premiere of The Interview was cancelled. Sony says it understands its partners' decision. However, in a statement it said it was "deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie". "In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release," it said. "We respect and understand our partners' decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theatre-goers." It added: "We stand by our film makers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome." Hackers calling themselves Guardians of Peace have released emails and data stolen from Sony in late November. In a recent warning they mentioned the 9/11 attacks, claiming "the world will be full of fear". "Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time," the hacker group wrote in a message on Tuesday. "Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment." Earlier, Sony had given theatres in the US and Canada the option to bow out of showing The Interview in the wake of the threats. Regal Cinemas, AMC Entertainment and Cinemark Theatres - the top three theatre chains in North America - subsequently announced they were postponing screenings, and Canada's biggest theatre firms also pulled out, leaving Sony seemingly no choice but to postpone the film. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel tweeted that the decision by theatres to refuse to show the film was "an un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." The Interview cost Sony an estimated $42m (£27m) to produce - not nearly as much as action films like The Hunger Games or the X-Men films - but still a significant amount for a comedy film. So far, however, investors have not been too concerned about the potential hit to Sony's bottom line. Sony's share price has declined by just over 5% since the hack was revealed. An effort by activist shareholder Daniel Loeb to get Sony to spin off its entertainment arm was thwarted in 2013, but the hacking revelations and their subsequent hit to Sony's reputation could renew calls to reconsider the structure of the firm. The response showed that more than 51 workers were suspended. However, only a minority were later dismissed or resigned. The exact figure is not known because some councils did not specify how many of their employees had been suspended. The data also reveals 11 people were suspended for viewing online porn. "Councils are clear that while some personal use of social media at work is acceptable, it must be reasonable and appropriate in terms of both the time spent and the content," said a spokesman for the Local Government Association. "The vast majority of council employees abide by that. "Councils take very seriously any misuse and, as these figures show, will deal robustly with cases that are unacceptable." The statistics are not comprehensive because not all the councils included school staff in their replies. In addition, some councils based their numbers on the calendar year while others used the April-to-March financial year. Furthermore, only 169 councils provided data. Twenty-two refused and 27 did not reply to the FOI request. But based on the information provided, 114 council staff were issued with warnings about breaching social media guidelines last year, which was a drop of 4% on 2014. However, because a higher proportion of people were forced to take time off as a result, there was a 19% rise in the number of suspensions. The information provided revealed: The responses also revealed 11 council staff were suspended over the period for accessing pornographic sites. That marked a 27% fall on the previous year. In one case, Orkney Council said there had subsequently been a related criminal investigation. In another, Redbridge Council said the employee had stored "grossly offensive material in council systems" that could have brought it into disrepute.

The photo of the fish - which are 3,333 times bigger in real life than in the picture - was printed at a resolution of 25,000 dots per inch (dpi). There is 500 nanometres (0.0005mm) between each dot on each of the three colour layers deposited - red, green and blue. Rather than squirt normal ink, "quantum dots" were used. These are tiny particles that emit a different colour of light according to their size. Smaller ones appear blue, mid-size ones are green and the bigger type are red. The light generated by quantum dots is particularly intense, which makes them attractive to TV-makers, who have struggled to produce large OLED screens at affordable prices - another technology known for delivering colour-rich images. One of the team suggested their technique could ultimately be adapted to "print" screens on demand. "In a futuristic scenario, you could imagine having a plastic foil that goes into a printer and on the other side there is a display coming out," Dr Patrick Galliker told the BBC. "You'd have all the functionality of a [video] screen, which has just been printed using nanomaterials that are in a liquid phase." Sony, Samsung and LG are among companies to have already shown off televisions using quantum dots, which they built using a different manufacturing technique. Quantum dots have also been used elsewhere to create solar batteries and electron microscopes. "This experiment was a very interesting gimmick, but a gimmick nonetheless," said Chris Green, a technology expert at the business consultancy Lewis. "But as a technical exercise to demonstrate the sheer versatility of what quantum dot technology can do with regards to imaging, it's an absolutely fascinating demonstration of what can be achieved with what is not that expensive technology."

Researchers in Switzerland have created what has been classed as the world's smallest inkjet-printed picture.

The bizarre plan was revealed in files published by the National Archives. The novel idea came from a lecturer who warned that the British colony's 5.5 million inhabitants would need a home when it was returned to China in 1997. It sparked some debate among officials, with one saying there were "real advantages" in taking it seriously. Prof Christie Davies, an expert in the sociology of morality, censorship and humour at the University of Reading, suggested a new "city state" could be created in Magilligan, between Coleraine and Londonderry. The move could revitalise the stagnant Northern Ireland economy, he said. When details of his idea first appeared in the Belfast News Letter in October 1983, they caught the eye of George Fergusson, a junior official in the Northern Ireland Office. He sent a memorandum to David Snoxell, a colleague in the Republic of Ireland Department of the Foreign Office, saying: "At this stage we see real advantages in taking the proposal seriously." Among the benefits, he suggested, was that it would help convince the unionist population that the government in Westminster was truly committed to retaining Northern Ireland in the UK. Mr Snoxell's reply suggested the conversation was not entirely serious. "My initial reaction... is that the proposal could be useful to the extent that the arrival of 5.5 million Chinese in Northern Ireland may induce the indigenous peoples to forsake their homeland for a future elsewhere," he wrote. "We should not underestimate the danger of this taking the form of a mass exodus of boat refugees in the direction of South East Asia." A second Foreign Office official commented: "My mind will be boggling for the rest of the day." But Mr Snoxell, now retired, revealed the exchange "was a spoof between colleagues who had a sense of humour". "You can see it wasn't intended seriously," he said. "Sadly, it's impossible to make jokes like this any more, the Diplomatic Service has lost its sense of humour. "I think that's a shame because it's through humour that you build relationships, with other departments, with other diplomats at home and abroad." Other archives in the National Archives release reveal:

A suggestion to move the population of Hong Kong to Northern Ireland sparked a flurry of correspondence in Whitehall in 1983, newly released documents show.

Vice News journalists Jake Hanrahan and Philip Pendlebury were among those apprehended in the Diyarbakir region, south-east Turkey, on Thursday. It has not been confirmed why they were detained. Vice News said they were due in court on Monday on terror charges. They had been filming clashes between police and Kurdish militants, it said. Violent exchanges between security forces and youths from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have erupted in the region in recent days. The journalists' lawyer said their hotel rooms had been searched and their camera equipment and footage impounded by police, according to Amnesty International. The human rights group's Turkey researcher Andrew Gardner said the trio should be released immediately unless the Turkish authorities could demonstrate credible evidence of criminal acts. Vice News said the four journalists had been "detained without charge for three days". A spokesman said it was working "vigorously with all relevant authorities to secure the safe release of our four colleagues". The situation has also been condemned by PEN, which works to defend and promote freedom of expression. Jo Glanville, director of English PEN, said it was an "unacceptable harassment of journalists who are fulfilling an essential role reporting on events of public and international interest". Earlier reports by Reuters quoted security sources as saying the group were detained for reporting from the country's majority Kurdish south-east without government accreditation. A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are providing consular assistance and are in touch with the relevant authorities following the arrest of two British nationals in Diyarbakir." Turkey, like a number of Western countries, considers the PKK a terrorist organisation. A ceasefire in the long-running conflict with the group appeared to disintegrate in July, when Turkey began bombing PKK camps in northern Iraq. Turkey has limited journalists to access to those region. In January, Dutch freelance reporter Frederike Geerdink, who was based in Diyarbakir and had been covering Kurdish issues, was detained on suspicion of "propaganda for a terrorist organisation". Mane, 22, suffered the injury in Saints' 2-0 Premier League win over Arsenal on 1 January and missed Sunday's 1-1 FA Cup draw with Ipswich. "Sadio has an injured calf muscle, it will be four to six weeks," Southampton manager Ronald Koeman said. "Senegal may call him up and see the player, but he will not play in the Africa Cup of Nations." The competition begins in Equatorial Guinea on 17 January and Senegal, runners-up in 2002, are aiming to win the competition for the first time. Coached by Frenchman Alain Giresse, the Teranga Lions face Ghana on 19 January, South Africa on 23 January and Algeria on 27 January in Group C. Mane's injury could give an opportunity to former Chelsea striker Demba Ba, who was left out of the provisional 28-man squad, with Giresse expected to finalise his 23-man squad on 7 January. Southampton signed Mane for £10m from Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg in September and he has scored five times in 14 Premier League appearances to help Saints up to fourth in the table. Milly Caller was arrested on 15 January following the death of Emma Crossman in Sleaford. The 22-year-old, from Great Hale, near Sleaford, is due to appear before magistrates in Lincoln on 16 October, police said. Ms Crossman was found dead by police officers at a property in Leicester Street, Sleaford. Former Tenerife player, Jose Castellano-Gonzales, committed the crimes in Devon and Bedfordshire. He moved to the UK in 2015 after his career was ended by injury. He was jailed for 11 years at Exeter Crown Court having been found guilty at a trial in January. More on Spanish footballer abuse and other Devon and Cornwall stories Castellano-Gonzales, 25, from the Canary Islands played for the B team at Tenerife at a time when the A team were in La Liga, the top division in Spain. He was convicted of a total of 13 sexual assaults. Judge Geoffrey Mercer, QC, at Exeter Crown Court told him: "You have caused untold damage to the victims, as was clear from some of the evidence at the trial. What you did had a potentially profound effect." An NSPCC spokesperson for South West England said: "Castellano-Gonzales groomed five vulnerable young boys before abusing them purely for his own sexual gratification." "His victims have shown enormous bravery in speaking out and it is thanks to them that he now faces the consequences of his actions." The 41-year-old DJ, who joined the network in 2003, is moving to the US to work at Apple. Zane, whose last show will air on 5 March, said he had "loved every minute" of being at Radio 1. Annie Mac, 36, will take over Zane's current weekday evening new music show, starting on 9 March and said she was "excited and humbled" at the opportunity. Zane said: "I want to thank everyone at Radio 1 for their support and friendship. "The station has allowed me to share incredible music with the country's best music fans." During his time on the station, the New Zealand-born DJ has become well known for championing emerging talent and many acts have made their breakthrough after having one of their tracks named as "hottest record in the world" on Zane's show. Zane has always mixed his 7pm-9pm show's focus on new music with exclusive interviews and live sessions with some of the biggest names in the industry. The recent Zane Lowe meets... series included interviews with Kanye West, Eminem, Jay Z, Chris Martin and Rick Rubin. His show has also been home to the popular Masterpieces feature, which sees him playing classic albums in full, and leading an in-depth discussion on their merits. Zane also curated last October's Radio 1 Rescores project - in which artists including The 1975, Foals, Bastille and Laura Mvula wrote a new soundtrack for the 2011 movie Drive, with their new music broadcast alongside a special screening of the film on BBC Three. Since starting at the station Zane has picked up the gold Radio Academy Award for best music broadcaster in 2010, 2011 and 2014. His show was also named best radio show at the NME Awards on four occasions. Zane features on writing and production credits for artists including Example, Tinie Tempah and Chase and Status. He also worked on Sam Smith's Grammy nominated album In the Lonely Hour. Annie said taking over from Lowe is a "huge honour" and she "can't wait" to start the show. Annie will continue to host her Friday night show on the network, but will step down from her slot hosting Radio 1's 'Musical Hot Water Bottle' on Sunday evenings (10pm-1am). "I am so excited and humbled to be asked to do this show. The thing I love about music radio is those private epiphanies it provides. "Having 11 hours of airtime a week to share those moments with music that has no boundaries is beyond a job, it's a privilege. "And to be following in the footsteps of Zane Lowe, a broadcaster that I respect and admire enormously, is a huge honour. I can't wait to get started." Annie began her career at Radio 1 as a broadcast assistant on Zane's show. Ben Cooper, controller of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, said: "Annie has proven she is a great ambassador for new music, and I'm delighted that she's bringing her passion and knowledge to young audiences across the week. "I'd like to thank Zane for 12 wonderful years at Radio 1, and wish him and his family all the very best." Phil Taggart will be taking over the Musical Hot Water Bottle from 1 March but will continue to host his Thursday evening future music show.

The two men, who are in their 30's, were arrested on Monday and are being questioned at Letterkenny Garda (Irish police) station. It was the second attack on an Orange hall in the county in as many weeks. Last month, a fire destroyed Newtowncunningham Orange hall. Gardai said they were treating it as an arson attack. In County Armagh, a third Orange hall was attacked when a device partially exploded outside the hall at Carnagh.. The two sides will meet at Bristol on 5 May and again at Lord's on 7 May in the build-up to the Champions Trophy. "This is a historic stepping stone in the development of Irish cricket," said England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive Tom Harrison. "This is a great opportunity for cricket matches between the two to enjoy even greater status and profile." Ireland have played five ODIs against England on home soil and two in global tournaments, including a historic three-wicket win at the 2011 World Cup in India. Ireland, ranked 11th in one-day international cricket and not part of next summer's Champions Trophy, have never played an ODI at Lord's. Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom said: "It's a real chance for Irish cricket to prove itself a worthy addition to the sport's economy as well as its competitive elite." Amnesty International called the conviction of Mohamed Ramadan over online posts a "blatant assault on freedom", and proof that anti-terror laws were being used to target critics. Ramadan was convicted, under a 2015 law, of using Facebook to harm unity and incite violence. The government says the law is needed to fight terrorism. It is unclear exactly what Ramadan, who is based in Alexandria and has represented alleged victims of torture, posted online last year. Campaigners in Egypt believe he was prosecuted for his work defending human rights activists and political prisoners, the BBC's Orla Guerin reports from Cairo. The lengthy sentence can be appealed against. Mahienour al-Masry, a lawyer representing Ramadan, said his client was in hospital as the case was heard, the Mada Masr website reports. The court ignored requests to adjourn the hearing and Ramadan was tried in absentia, the lawyer said. On his Facebook page, Ramadan said he had been convicted by "the judiciary of the counter-revolution", according to the Associated Press news agency. He said he was confident the current government in Egypt would not last for that long. Read more: Egypt law ushers in 'republic of darkness' In addition to the 10-year jail term, the court in Alexandria ordered that Ramadan remain under house arrest for a further five years, during which he will be banned from using social media. Amnesty, a UK-based group, called the sentence "utterly shocking" and said Ramadan was "exercising his right to freedom of expression". The conviction is a "chilling illustration of the danger to peaceful critics" posed by the 2015 counter-terror law, Amnesty's Najia Bounaim said. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi imposed a three-month state of emergency after bombings targeting Coptic Christian churches killed at least 45 people on Sunday. The president has been criticised by local and international groups for severe restrictions on civil and political rights in Egypt. He was elected in 2014, less than a year after he toppled the previous president, Mohammed Morsi. Under Mr Sisi's presidency thousands of people have been arrested in a crackdown on Islamists and other critics of the government. Why was a state of emergency imposed? On Monday, five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova announced she had tested positive for the drug. Meldonium, also known as mildronate, was developed to treat diabetes and various heart-related diseases but was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) in January. "We will see many deaths on the field," Ivars Calvins told BBC Radio 5 live. "Athletes who use mildronate will not be able to do it in the future and will be not more protected." The Latvian added: "This drug was on the market for 32 years - as a self-protective agent - and now suddenly it becomes forbidden. "You could see a sudden death in the sports events sometimes." In Short: Listen to the full interview with the inventor of meldonium World number seven Sharapova said she has been taking the drug since 2006 for health reasons. The 28-year-old Russian, who said she was unaware meldonium was added to Wada's list of banned substances on 1 January, failed a drugs test at the Australia Open later that month. Sharapova, the highest-paid female athlete in the world in 2015, could be banned for as many as four years. Media playback is not supported on this device Meldonium also has the ability to adjust the body's use of energy, stimulating glucose metabolism and also helping to clear fatty build-up in the arteries - and could also have a positive effect on stamina and endurance in athletes. Several athletes has tested positive for it in 2016, including 1500m world champion Abeba Aregawi, 2015 Tokyo Marathon winner Endeshaw Negesse and Russian ice dancer Ekaterina Bobrova. Thirteen medallists from the 2015 European Games in Baku were also found to have been taking meldonium. "As far as I'm concerned, the system works," former Wada president Sir Craig Reedie told BBC Sport. "There is research on a drug, there is monitoring on a drug, there is information given to the athletes that it will come on to the prohibited list on a set date. "I can't believe [there can be any excuse]." UK Anti-Doping CEO Nicole Sapstead said she could not rule out a British athlete testing positive for meldonium. "I will never say I'm confident about anything, because the nature of anti-doping is so unpredictable," she said. "There's always a danger that when a new substance is introduced onto the prohibited list that athletes will be caught out. We'll just have to wait and see." The ban came in a notice issued by the People's Bank of China, financial watchdogs and the nation's IT ministry. Bitcoins were a "virtual good", had no legal status and should not be used as a currency, it said. The decision comes after bitcoins' rapid rise in value was called a "bubble" by Alan Greenspan, former US Federal Reserve chairman. Bitcoin is often referred to as a new kind of currency. But it may be best to think of its units being virtual tokens rather than physical coins or notes. However, like all currencies its value is determined by how much people are willing to exchange it for. To process Bitcoin transactions, a procedure called "mining" must take place, which involves a computer solving a difficult mathematical problem with a 64-digit solution. For each problem solved, one block of bitcoins is processed. In addition the miner is rewarded with new bitcoins. This provides an incentive for people to provide computer processing power to solve the problems. To compensate for the growing power of computer chips, the difficulty of the puzzles is adjusted to ensure a steady stream of about 3,600 new bitcoins a day. There are currently about 11 million bitcoins in existence. To receive a bitcoin a user must have a Bitcoin address - a string of 27-34 letters and numbers - which acts as a kind of virtual postbox to and from which the bitcoins are sent. Since there is no registry of these addresses, people can use them to protect their anonymity when making a transaction. These addresses are in turn stored in Bitcoin wallets which are used to manage savings. They operate like privately run bank accounts - with the proviso that if the data is lost, so are the bitcoins owned. The ban was imposed because bitcoins were not backed by any nation or central authority, said the notice. It added that it was planning to step up its efforts to curb the use of bitcoins to launder cash. Individuals were still free to trade in bitcoins but should be aware of the risks involved, said the People's Bank of China (PBOC), adding that it planned to formalise the regulation of exchanges that dealt in the digital cash. Experts told Reuters the PBOC was moved to make its decision because Chinese nationals were heavily involved in trading the virtual currency. Many believe this is because it helps them avoid controls on trade in the yuan. The value of bitcoins traded on Chinese exchanges fell after the announcement was made. Interest in the virtual currency has seen its value soar in recent weeks. On 28 November, the value of one bitcoin surpassed $1,000 for the first time. The swift rise in value led Mr Greenspan to say the exchange rate for the virtual currency was "unsustainably high" in an interview with Bloomberg. "It's a bubble", he said, going on to question the financial value people had pinned on bitcoins. "You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is," he said. "I haven't been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can." Captain Charlotte Edwards top-scored with 65 in a total of 194 all out with four balls left of their 50 overs. New Zealand lost wickets regularly and were 104 all out with Anya Shrubsole taking four for 36. The tourists, who lost the first match by 67 runs, will look to make it two wins at the same venue on Sunday. Shrubsole said: "We were not up to scratch the other day and were determined to come here and put in a great performance and a win on the board, so it's a happy dressing room. "I've not bowled brilliantly on the trip so owed the girls a bit in terms of wickets. Charlotte threw me the ball and showed faith in me and thankfully it paid off for me." The first three games of this five-match series count towards the International Cricket Council's Women's Championship, which determines qualification for the 2017 World Cup. The Labour leader's spokesman said Mr Corbyn would be "using the opportunity" of Mr Xi's four-day visit, his first as Chinese leader, to raise his concerns. Mr Corbyn was "always concerned that the government doesn't raise human rights issues", the spokesman said. Ministers say they engage on the issue. During a week-long visit to China last month, Chancellor George Osborne said he addressed the issue of human rights privately "in the context of talking about issues like economic development" - a stance applauded by the Chinese state media. While on a visit to the restive Xinjiang province in the far west of the country, the first by a UK minister, Mr Osborne was urged by campaigners to be more vocal about the treatment of the area's Muslim Uighur minority. Mr Osborne, who wants China to become the UK's second-largest trading partner, has insisted that the two countries have different political systems and traditions but that is not inconsistent with efforts to build commercial and cultural ties and co-operate in other areas. Relations have improved since a diplomatic row in 2012 following David Cameron's meeting with the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Mr Corbyn will attend a state banquet to be held at Buckingham Palace for President Xi, the first time the Labour leader has attended such an event. His spokesman said discussions were being held to try to arrange private meetings with Chinese officials during the visit but did not categorically rule out Mr Corbyn using the royal function to do so if necessary. "He will be raising issues about human rights next week," he said. "If he gets private meetings he will be doing it in those meetings - that's the right thing to do." As a backbench MP, the Labour leader campaigned on human rights cases for decades, urging the release of political prisoners and calling on the UK to stop selling arms to "repressive" regimes. In his conference speech last month, he highlighted the case of Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr, a Saudi man who faces beheading after being convicted of crimes including breaking allegiance to the country's king, The government announced on Tuesday that it was withdrawing from talks about a £5.9m contract to provide services to Saudi jails amid criticism of the country's criminal justice system, although ministers denied the decision was related to any individual case. In relation to what Mr Corbyn would be wearing at the state banquet, his spokesman was unable to say whether he would wear white tie, as is customary at such an event, or if he owned such attire. Asked if Mr Corbyn would be singing the national anthem, after being criticised for not doing so at a Battle of Britain memorial service last month, the spokesman said: "Jeremy will take full part." He confirmed that the invitation was a "plus one" but that he didn't think Mr Corbyn would be taking his wife. During the visit - the first Chinese state visit for a decade - President Xi is expected to address Parliament and hold talks with Mr Cameron. Alafoti Faosiliva, 30, who plays for Samoa and Bath, admitted assaulting Nissi Kyeremeh on 6 February. Bath Magistrates' Court heard the university student was punched after checking on the player, who seemed upset. Faosiliva received an eight week sentence suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to pay Mr Kyeremeh £1,500 in compensation. The court was told Faosiliva, of Mascroft Road in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, had "expressed remorse" for the assault. Mark Haslem, representing the rugby player, said his client, who had been drinking in the SouthGate area of Bath, had "come to his senses" following the attack and tried to apologise. "There was no premeditation. The defendant had completely lost the plot," Mr Haslem said. After the attack Mr Kyeremeh told police: "He had no reason to behave in this way. My only action was to check on his welfare." In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mr Kyeremeh said: "Since the incident I have suffered with dizziness, blurry vision and the inability to sleep. "The incident has had a dramatic impact on my studies. I am unable to concentrate and unable to retain information." Faosiliva, who joined Bath in 2013, has been suspended by the club and faces disciplinary proceedings. Speaking outside court, Faosiliva said: "I want to apologise to my club, to my team, for what happened. "I want to say thank you for the support." PC Matthew Stocker, of Thames Valley Police, was found to have committed gross misconduct and breached the standards of professional behaviour. He was dismissed without notice at a misconduct hearing. The forcee said Mr Stocker, who was based in Maidenhead, used police records to find a work address for a female member of the public. While on duty, Mr Stocker visited the female's place of work and told her colleagues that he wanted to speak to her about an investigation, which was not true, police said. The offences took place between March and April 2016. Det Chief Cst John Campbell said the officer's actions "undermined public confidence in the force". The 58-year-old described the defeat by Charlton as an "unnatural disaster". There were calls from some supporters last season for McCarthy to be sacked. "We've got to play well on Saturday and we've pretty much got to win because if we don't, it's starting where we left off last season and that's not good for anybody," he told BBC Radio Suffolk. Ipswich, who start the new campaign with a home game against Birmingham City on Saturday, finished 16th in the Championship in 2016-17. Speaking about the Addicks thrashing, McCarthy said: "It was embarrassing. It was a complete shambles, a really disgraceful performance. "I just said to them that if that was in November, the quote would be 'he's lost the dressing room and they don't want to play for him'. I know that's not the case, but that's what would be said." McCarthy vowed that his side would perform better against Birmingham, but expects a poor reaction from supporters if they fail to do so. "It doesn't bode well for anybody, how they feel about me, how they feel about the team, or how they feel about the club, getting slapped here, six," the former Wolves boss added. "Come along and support us and cheer us and let's hope we can beat Birmingham, and if we don't, then I accept the inevitable." Striker David McGoldrick is a doubt for Saturday after succumbing to an illness that has affected a number of players in pre-season. "Whatever virus has been brought into the camp has had a fairly devastating effect. I don't know whether he'll be fit or not. If it's anything like Tom Adeyemi or Bersant Celina, it's going to be too soon for him," McCarthy added. Bradley Johnson replaced George Thorne, with Will Hughes in a deeper role. Asked following the 3-0 loss if he regretted that decision, Wassall told BBC Radio Derby: "No, not at all. "Bradley played against Hull a few weeks ago and scored two goals in that position and Will played very well against Sheffield Wednesday." Midfielder Johnson was brought in after Thorne suffered a broken leg during the recent defeat by Ipswich. He struggled against Hull, giving the ball away in the build up to the opening goal, and was substituted in the second half. "Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I don't think the selections caused that result," said Wassall. "We haven't performed as we have been doing over the past six or seven weeks when it matters." Wassall also defended his decision not to make attacking changes earlier in the game. Nick Blackman came on in the 71st minute and was eventually followed by fellow striker Darren Bent, whose late introduction was quickly followed by Hull's injury-time third goal. "We were conscious that it's half-time in the tie and the one thing we didn't want to do was to go and concede a third goal," said Wassall. McGuire's first half hat-trick was matched by efforts from Elliott Whitehead, Ben Jeffries and Matt Diskin to leave it at 18-18 at half-time. McGuire went over twice more and Ablett rounded off a quick attack to put the game beyond the Bulls. Elliott Kear crashed over late on to complete the victory that moves Leeds up to seventh in the league table. The Rhinos were looking to bounce back after a disappointing home defeat by St Helens on Monday and also had revenge in mind having lost 12-4 at Odsal in April. That match had seen a bumper crowd turn out to support the Bulls in a match that had been billed at the time as possibly their last ever, such was the severity of their financial problems. Despite issues surrounding the fiscal future of Mick Potter's team still being unclear, Bradford headed into Sunday's match with their local rivals occupying the final play-off spot, while Brian McDermott's side started the game sitting one point and one place behind. McGuire gave Leeds a dream start when he darted over from close in early on after they switched the play to excellent effect. The lead was short-lived though as Whitehead just about forced his way over the line following a quick Bulls reset inside the 10-metre line, the try eventually being given after deliberation by the video referee Jeffries, a try-scorer in the Bulls win over Leeds earlier this season, showed good feet to get through a gap in the Rhinos defence and put his side into the lead. Things got worse for McDermott's side when Jamie Peacock failed to deal with an up and under from Luke Gale and Diskin dived on to the loose ball on the Rhinos goal line. Leeds were back within one score in controversial circumstances, McGuire latching in to Webb's pass and despite the ball appearing to have gone forward the try was awarded. If that try owed more than a little to good fortune, there was nothing fortuitous about McGuire's third. Rob Burrow showed wonderful skill to weave through the Bulls defence before off-loading to McGuire, who had the simple task of running in unchallenged from the 40-metre line. Another great breakaway, this time led by Sinfield, put Leeds back in front. The Rhinos skipper bamboozled two Bulls players with a clever dummy before feeding McGuire to run in once more. Ablett rounded off a quick Leeds breakaway by stepping inside two challenges and going over from close in before a field goal from Sinfield put the game beyond Bradford. Leeds further showcased their authority when McGuire sprinted over from another Webb pass for his fifth try, to match the haul of Warrington Joel Monaghan in his side's win over Widnes on Saturday. Kear's late try, when he did well to hold off three Leeds tackles to touch down, was scant consolation at the end of a hard-fought match. Leeds coach Brian McDermott said: "That wasn't the reaction I wanted after Monday's defeat. We made too many bad decisions. "We defended well in parts in the second half but I'm not going to be punching the air about that. "We've needed individual brilliance to win us the match. I don't think anyone grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck." Bradford coach Mick Potter said: "We didn't finishour sets off and we lost some shape with the injuries we picked up. "Matt Diskin has injured his shoulder and gone straight to hospital. That could be quite a serious one. "It was extreme conditions out there and I think they handled them very well. "It was an entertaining game for the fans but not the right scoreline for us." The UN High Commissioner for Refugees said the number of people seeking haven in neighbouring countries had jumped since the beginning of the year. Half of the refugees were children, the UN said, most of them under 11 and often traumatised by their experiences. The largest numbers of refugees were seeking shelter in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. The figure includes registered refugees and newer arrivals awaiting registration. "Syria is spiralling towards full-scale disaster," the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said in a statement, warning that the international humanitarian response capacity was "dangerously stretched". "This tragedy has to be stopped," he added, warning that the influx of people had also stretched the resources of Syria's neighbours. The millionth refugee recorded by UNHCR was a 19-year-old mother of two called Bushra. "Our situation is so bad, everything is so expensive, we can't find any work... The situation is so bad, I live with 20 other people in one room," Bushra told reporters in the Lebanese city of Tripoli. Many of those who have fled conflict now live in difficult conditions, with poor sanitation and insufficient resources to cope with the harsh winters. By Yolande KnellBBC News, Zaatari camp Some 2,000 refugees crossed into Jordan from Syria in the past 24 hours. Many were brought to the large tent for new arrivals just inside the Zaatari camp. They could be seen lying sprawled, exhausted and dishevelled, on mats and blankets laid on the floor. "We came because of the shelling and air strikes. They destroyed our houses, they left nothing for us," said an old woman from Homs. "It took us nearly five days to get here walking through fields." A young mother told us how Syrian forces had shot at them as they tried to leave. "We were so afraid we had an accident on the road. We thought we were going to die," she said. By late afternoon, the refugees were registered by the UNHCR and had moved to their own basic shelters. But officials here say the increasing flow of refugees threatens to overwhelm them. "The international community is failing to find a political solution inside Syria and so people are continuing to flee," says Andrew Harper, head of UNHCR in Jordan. "We'll probably have another 100,000 people arrive in the next four or five weeks." In Lebanon, for example, the influx of almost a third of a million refugees since last February has swollen the country's population by 10%. Turkey, providing a temporary home for some 184,000 refugees, has spent more than $600m (459m euros; £396m) setting up 17 refugee camps, and is building new ones to meet the increasing need, the UN said. "These countries should not only be recognised for their unstinting commitment to keeping their borders open for Syrian refugees, they should be massively supported as well," Mr Guterres said. On Tuesday, Jordan's King Abdullah called on world nations to help his country, Turkey and Lebanon to shoulder "the tremendous burden" of caring for the huge influx of people. UK charity Oxfam says that only 20% of $1.5bn promised by international donors in January has arrived, "leaving agencies struggling to respond to the urgent needs of refugees". The rush of refugees has surprised even UN experts, who had originally estimated that the one million figure would not be reached until the end of June 2013. In effect, more than 400,000 have became refugees since 1 January 2013. The UN's emergency response plan for Syrian refugees, Oxfam said, currently lacked 75% of the funding required. Jordan's Petra news agency said that a total of 2,257 Syrian refugees had crossed into the country on Tuesday alone. Some 110,000 of those who have sought shelter in Jordan are living in the desert camp of Zaatari, near its northern border with Syria. The conflict in Syria began almost two years ago with demonstrations against the government of President Bashar al-Assad. The protests quickly turned violent as opponents of Mr Assad took up arms to try to resist a brutal crackdown by the authorities. The conflict has left more than 70,000 people dead and two million internally displaced, of a pre-conflict population of 20.7 million. Also on Wednesday, the Commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, Gen Selim Idriss, called for the lifting of the EU arms embargo against Syria, saying it is having a much more negative effect on the opposition than on the Assad regime. Gen Idriss told the BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels that opposition forces desperately needed weapons and ammunition, and that the war would be longer and bloodier if the embargo remained in place. UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Wednesday that the UK was going to provide armoured vehicles and body armour to Syrian opposition forces in a bid to end a crisis that had reached what he called "catastrophic proportions". His announcement in the House of Commons stopped short of arming the rebels, but he told the BBC on Sunday that the UK would not rule out doing so in future. In a separate development, Arab League foreign ministers invited the Syrian main opposition to take the country's seat at the league. The ministers asked the Syrian National Coalition to send its representative to the group's meeting in Doha later this month. The 22-member league suspended Syria's membership in 2011. The 35-year-old former Sweden international moved to Old Trafford on a free transfer in the summer, with the option of extending his deal for a second season. He has scored eight goals in 17 games in all competitions this term. Mourinho said: "We are going to execute the option of a second season. After that he can do what he wants." Ibrahimovic said: "I feel in shape, feel fresh and good. If I feel like I do now, it will be a second year." Ibrahimovic, who scored 62 goals in 116 games for Sweden before retiring from international football in June, left French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of last season. The former Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan forward has won a trophy every season since 2001, including 13 league titles. He will have a statue erected in Stockholm in his honour after being named Sweden's top player for a 10th successive year on Monday.

Arafat Jaradat, 30, appeared to have died of a heart attack on Saturday, the Israeli prison service said. Palestinians said an autopsy performed on Sunday revealed signs of torture, but Israelis said injuries were probably from attempts at resuscitation and that key tests were still needed. Israel has launched an investigation into what happened. Mr Jaradat's death comes after a week of violent clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian youths over the continued detention of four hunger strikers. The clashes continued on Sunday, fuelled by news of Mr Jaradat's death. Stone-throwing protesters in the West Bank towns of Hebron, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and elsewhere faced off with Israeli soldiers deploying tear gas and stun grenades. One Palestinian man was said to have been seriously wounded after being hit with live rounds. In Gaza City, women gathered with flags and posters to protest at the conditions of more than 4,500 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. At least 3,000 Palestinian prisoners are believed to have refused meals on Sunday in protest at Mr Jaradat's death. Mr Jaradat, a father of two from the village of Sair, near Hebron, in the southern West Bank, died suddenly on Saturday in Israeli's Megido prison. He was arrested last week on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. Palestinian human rights groups have suggested Mr Jaradat died either during or shortly after interrogation. On Sunday, Mr Jaradat's body underwent an autopsy attended by a Palestinian pathologist. A preliminary findings statement said that "no signs of external injury were found apart from marks of resuscitation and a small friction on the right side of the chest". But it added that "the preliminary findings are not sufficient to determine the cause of death", saying the results of additional tests had not yet been received. This judgment was dismissed by Palestinian Minister of Prisoners Issa Karake, who said the Palestinian doctor attending the autopsy had told him there was no sign of a heart attack. "The evidence corroborates our suspicion that Jaradat died as a result of torture, especially since the autopsy clearly proved that the victim's heart was healthy," Mr Karake said in a statement. (Source: Israel Prison Service December 2012) He called for an independent international inquiry into Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees. Earlier, an envoy for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made "an unequivocal demand" to the Palestinian Authority to calm the surge of protests. But a senior aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas blamed Israel for the upsurge in anger - and analysts say the protests seem likely to continue in light of the claims surrounding the death of Mr Jaradat, who is due to be buried on Monday. A statement from the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Saturday expressed "deep sorrow and shock over the martyrdom of prisoner Arafat Jaradat". As of December 2012, Israel held 4,517 Palestinians in its jails. Of these 1,031 are being held until the conclusion of legal proceedings, 178 are in administrative detention and 170 are under 18 years of age. Israeli officials say they use administrative detention when they fear an immediate risk to security or to protect informants. The Palestinian Prisoners' Club said the number of inmates on open-ended hunger strike had climbed to 11 from four. Team boss Toto Wolff said the search would start on Monday, with a decision expected by the end of 2016. "It is a huge loss because we had the quickest driver set-up over the last three years," Lauda told Sportsweek. "I need a driver for the first test in February when the new car is ready." He added: "We have to train him on the simulator and into the team, so we should have a decision before the end of the year." Rosberg retired five days after beating British team-mate Lewis Hamilton to clinch his first world title. Hamilton, a three-time world champion, has said he "doesn't care" who is picked as the German's replacement. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, Lauda added: "Nico and Lewis were pushing each other. Lewis won two championships and Nico won one. Now we have to find a better man than Nico because we want to continue to win. "This is a big problem for us to find a replacement, so I cannot tell you now because we have to think about it, contact everybody and make proper research into who we are going to put in the best car in Formula 1. "We have the best car to offer but at the moment no driver. The other drivers, or the majority certainly, have 1 December contracts for next year so really we have to do good research, who is there, what and when and then we will take a decision, but it will take a while." Lauda retired from F1 in 1979 before coming back to win the 1984 World Championship. He quit the sport as a driver on a permanent basis a year later. Asked about Rosberg's decision to retire, he said: "I was really surprised - this was never on my radar that this could happen. "I spoke to him afterwards to find out because I did this twice in my career and I really wanted to make sure it was not a quick decision which he might regret and I wanted to find out how sure he is. "Of my question 'how sure are you?' he said '1,000%'. Then I knew that it is over - you cannot convince him any more." Only 150 of the bronze commemorative "coins" will be struck at Llantrisant site in Rhondda Cynon Taf, with all 57 Newport schools also being given one each as a memento. One side features a map of Wales, the other side has the Nato summit logo. It is not officially a coin as it does not have the Queen's head on it, so is not legal tender. Wales Office Minister Baroness Randerson said: "It is a great way to help mark the biggest gathering of world leaders the UK has ever hosted". She will join the deputy mayor and mayoress of Newport to see the striking of the final piece on Wednesday. Each piece is 63mm in diameter and was designed by the Royal Mint's engraver Jody Clark. It features the Nato logo and the words 'Nato Summit Wales 2014' in English and Welsh. Shane Bissett, the Mint's director of commemorative coin, medals and bullion, added: "It is our great honour to have the opportunity to mark this year's Nato Wales 2014 Summit in this way, and leave the world leaders with a lasting reminder of their visit to Wales." The summit will take place on 4-5 September. US President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande are expected to attend along with leaders and senior ministers from around 60 other countries. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said abuse of authority for sexual gain was now the "most serious" form of corruption facing police in England and Wales. The watchdog's figures were gathered over two years to the end of March. The National Police Chiefs' Council described the problem as a "disease". It acknowledged that more needed to be done to "root it out and inoculate policing for the future". Chief Constable Stephen Watson, the NPCC's lead for counter-corruption, said: "It is the most serious form of corruption and it can never be justified or condoned." 436 reported allegations of abuse of authority for sexual gain 306 police officers accused 28 Police Community Support Officers and police staff also accused 40% of allegations involved victims of crime HMIC said its police "legitimacy" inspection was positive overall, with high satisfaction among victims at how they were treated. The watchdog was asked to investigate the extent of the problem earlier this year, by the then Home Secretary Theresa May. It found that 306 officers, 20 PCSOs and eight police staff were involved in 436 reported allegations. The data also showed all but one constabulary had received at least one allegation, and that almost 40% of accusations involved victims of domestic abuse. Other people who were allegedly exploited were thought to include arrested suspects and people with drug or alcohol problems. The report also found: HM Inspector Mike Cunningham, who led the review, said the problem of sexual exploitation could be "more serious" than the reported numbers and forces needed to become "far more proactive in rooting out" such corruption. Mr Cunningham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Make no mistake about it, the sexual exploitation of vulnerable women is corruption. It is using authority for personal gain, which is a definition of corruption. "It is the most serious corruption problem in the sense that it is the ultimate betrayal of trust, where the guardian becomes the abuser. That is what we are seeing in these cases, and we're seeing too many. "The allegations that we collected across the country are not closed allegations, they're not confirmed or finalised allegations but nevertheless they are allegations." Police officers convicted of sex crimes include: Mr Cunningham said people such as former Northumbria officer Stephen Mitchell, who is serving two life sentences for serious sexual offences including rape, were clearly predators. Others, he said, were opportunistic and found themselves in circumstances where they could abuse their power and authority. Det Supt Ray Marley, of the College of Policing, said the report "highlighted a number of unacceptable cases which have a significant impact on the victims and public confidence". Home Secretary Amber Rudd described the report as "shocking". "It undermines justice and public confidence and there is no place in the police for anyone guilty of this sort of abuse," she said. She said she had met the College of Policing and the NPCC to discuss action needed to tackle the problem. "The vast majority of police officers do their jobs with integrity and I know they will share my determination to ensure the most vulnerable in our society are given the protection they deserve," she said. In the wake of the report, IPCC chairwoman Dame Anne Owers has written to chief constables in England and Wales urging them to ensure that all cases involving abuse of authority for sexual gain are referred to the commission. The report assessed whether officers were seen by the public consistently to behave fairly, ethically and within the law. Two forces - Derbyshire and Kent - were graded as outstanding, 36 as good, and five - Cleveland, Dyfed-Powys, Gloucestershire, North Wales and South Yorkshire - as requiring improvement. No forces were graded as inadequate. There are a total of 200,000 police officers and staff in England and Wales.

Earlier in the day Wales' men won promotion to the top tier of European hockey by beating France 4-3 in their semi-final in Glasgow. The win sent Wales' men into their final on Saturday, against Scotland. It also meant promotion to the the eight-nation European A Division for the first time in 2019 while their female counterparts will stay in the B Division. Wales women had beaten Austria and Poland, but lost to Belarus on the way to the semi-finals. They face Italy in Saturday's play-off for third place while Belarus lie in wait for Russia in the final. Neither Wales side has been in the EuroHockey A Division since it was reduced to eight teams more than a decade ago. The nation's women were playing in the third tier just four years ago. Wales captain Abi Welsford told BBC Wales Sport: "We put everything we could into the performance and just ended up on the wrong side of the result. They had a few more penalty corners than us and they took their chances well. We'll take heart in the way we performed and will be aiming for a third place finish now." Head coach Kevin Johnson added: "We can be very proud of the way we tried to play the game. Every time we go out and play we want to be a better team and we're doing that. We're on a quest to push up the world rankings and continue to gain ranking points. This tournament has already been a success for that." Customers who use gas or electricity from the company will save an average of £50 a year, and those who use both will save on average £100 a year. The company has 350,000 domestic and small business customers. Gas tariffs will reduce from April by 10.2%, with electricity following in June by 10.3%. The business has 210,000 electricity customers and 135,000 gas customers. SSE Airtricity's managing director, Stephen Wheeler, said: "This is the third successive price cut in just over 12 months meaning in the same period we've delivered savings of £260 for our household customers." The company said the price cut follows an annual review of costs associated with its natural gas business. Earlier this month, Power NI announced electric bills for its 500,000 domestic customers would fall by 10.3% from April. It said the move was made possible by a steady fall in the price of wholesale gas, the main fuel used in electricity generation. The Utility Regulator, which regulates SSE Airtricity's gas prices, welcomed the price cut. Utility Regulator chief executive, Jenny Pyper, said: "This reduction follows on from two price decreases in 2015, meaning that over the last year, these customers will have experienced a drop in prices of almost 24%. "Friday's announcement brings the regulated price in Greater Belfast down to levels last seen in 2009 and represents a saving to customers of over £53 per year. "Whilst we don't price regulate SSE Airtricity in respect of their electricity prices, their 10.3% reduction is further good news for consumers, which we welcome." Richard Williams, head of energy at the Consumer Council, said: "This is great news. "The Consumer Council now wants to see the other gas and electricity companies compete for customers by bringing their prices down. "Consumers consistently tell us energy bills are their biggest concern." Activist Akeela Ahmed says she uses Twitter to campaign on equality issues. Her profile picture shows her in her hijab. "If I tweet something to do with women's rights, I'll get tweets usually from men saying, 'How can you tweet that when you've got that thing on your head?' They're talking about my hijab. "Post-Paris, the abuse increased and it was a lot worse," she says, referring to negative comments posted online following the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, in which gunmen said they were killing in the name of Islam. "One particular person was quite specific in their threats and wanting to kill Muslims. Normally, I'm not threatened by it, but on this occasion I was." That Twitter account has been taken down. But there are concerns that some Islamophobic content remains online. Campaigners from the organisation Tell Mama, which monitors hate against Muslims online, sent Asian Network some examples. "When events like Paris happen, what seems to happen is that people on social media sites have bigger discussions,"says Bharath Ganesh. "The language we've seen is extremely derogatory towards Muslims. "Hashtags like #killallmuslims appear. Some Muslims used that hashtag to highlight anti-Islamic sentiments online." Akeela says she understands where the anger stems from. "As we see more terrorist incidents globally, many people feel anger about terror attacks and they go online and use their medium to vent their anger. But, as a result, there is an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment generally. "On Facebook, it's a problem too. There are some groups who promote anti-Muslim sentiments. It's about dealing responsibly with these issues." Facebook and Twitter both urge users to report anti-Islamic content. The Attorney General, Jeremy Wright - the government's legal adviser - has signalled he would like to meet with both firms to see what more can be done in this area. Maaiysa Valli, a BBC journalist, was tweeting in a personal capacity when she used the #NotInMyName hashtag that Muslims have been using to distance themselves from extremists. The photo was retweeted more than 400 times, with one response describing her as an "uneducated animal". She says: "I got a few comments to start with that were saying things like, 'You shouldn't be following this religion.' "Then Maajid Nawaz - the chairman of the Quilliam Foundation - retweeted it. He has more than 30,000 followers, and I got so many notifications." She blocked and reported a number of users, and says the experience has made her aware of "how brave people can be behind a keyboard". A number of accounts which targeted her have been disabled. Mehdi Hasan is the political director of the Huffington Post UK, and says he has had death threats online. "It's pretty depressing. The number one issue that drives people up the wall on Twitter seems to be Islam. It's become so regular, you become immune to it. It's mainly anonymous people full of hatred. "As a Muslim journalist in the public eye, it doesn't matter what you write about, all roads lead back to your faith. "On the one hand, I expect abuse when I write about terrorism or the halal meat hysteria. "What I don't understand is how everything is related back to Islam - for instance, even if I interview a politician about austerity, people will say, 'Oh, it's because you're a Muslim you're writing that.'" In a statement, Twitter said: "We review all reported content against our rules which include a ban on targeted abuse and direct, specific threats of violence against others." Meanwhile, a Facebook spokesperson said: "We take hate speech seriously and remove any content reported to us that directly attacks others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition. "With a diverse global community of more than a billion people, we occasionally see people post content which, whilst not against our rules, some people may find offensive." Facebook also spoke about the power of counter speech, which involves people challenging other users online. It added: "We aim to strike the right balance between giving people the freedom to express themselves and maintaining a safe and trusted environment." Akeela says that she hopes Twitter and Facebook do more to tackle Islamophobic abuse online: "Ordinary Muslims are getting abuse for expressing their views. "I worked for a Muslim youth charity for a number of years, and have received Islamophobic abuse online for a while. But it has got worse."

Spanning thousands of acres of virtually untouched plains, rain-forested mountains, Amerindian villages and rare wildlife, it's one of the brightest jewels in Guyana's tourism crown. Venezuela wants all of this - and more. It has long maintained it has a legitimate claim to two-thirds of Guyana's current territory. That encompasses 250,000 people in 700 villages and communities, the formidable Kaieteur Falls - the world's highest single-drop waterfall - and most of Guyana's precious mineral resources to boot. The decades-old dispute could now be a step closer to being resolved, after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon promised to deliver an assessment before he leaves office at the end of December. He was responding to renewed calls to intervene from Guyanese President David Granger at September's UN General Assembly in New York. The bitter dispute has its roots in border lines drawn up by former colonial powers. While Guyana accepts a 1899 tribunal ruling, Venezuela insists the process was flawed by political collusion, staking a claim over the entire Essequibo county - "Cinderella county" to Guyanese - everything west of the Essequibo river. Guyana's gifts to the world Vast amounts of offshore oil discovered in the Stabroek Block, 120 miles (200km) out into the Atlantic, by Guyanese subsidiaries of ExxonMobil reignited and widened the spat in May 2015. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro promptly issued a decree of sovereignty over waters off the Essequibo region and demanded a stop to oil exploration. A subsequent find in June this year was also estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars. ExxonMobil told the BBC it would not comment on "proprietary commercial" issues. Guyana says the ongoing feud is hindering the country's development as it wrestles with a crippling housing crisis and high youth unemployment, despite being recently recognised by the World Bank as an upper-middle-income nation. Around the Rupununi's dusty laterite roads, linking tiny indigenous settlements and the commercial centre of Lethem, the sun assaults the bleached savannah grasses. The Kanuku mountains turn violet in the haze. This is south-western Guyana, far away from the capital, Georgetown, and people here laugh off the claims of what they consider their truculent, acquisitive neighbour. "It's only the politicians we ever hear talk about it," says Linda Khan, owner of the Savannah Inn hotel and store. "I have been here since 1976 and nobody has ever come from Venezuela and said they're going to take this land. The only Venezuelans we see are the ones who come searching for food because of shortages back home." Thomas George, from the nearby Amerindian village of Mocu Mocu, agrees. "We hear about it in the news; it rises and it dies again. But it doesn't make us feel vulnerable - we ain't giving up the mountains." Back in Georgetown, national sentiment is rather more vitriolic. The ubiquitous slogan "Essequibo is we own" clamours for attention from banners and bumper stickers alike. The 117th anniversary of the 1899 ruling on 3 October sparked another war of words between the two countries. The Kaieteur News quoted Venezuela's government as lambasting Guyana for using "lies and subterfuge" to ramp up hostility. Guyana's foreign ministry immediately issued a statement decrying a "frenzied display of ill temper" from Venezuela - which it dubs the "new conquistadors" with a "greed for territory". "As far as we're concerned, the border was settled in 1899," Guyana's Vice-President Sydney Allicock tells the BBC. "Every time Venezuela has economic problems, they work up their people to get support for the border issue. Now we have found oil they're doing it again." He says that revenue generated from the oil could dramatically improve Guyana's essential infrastructure and food security. "Venezuela is already big; they are blocking us from developing," he says, adding: "This has been going on far too long. We need to settle it - and we won't give up." During last month's address to the UN, President Granger reiterated pleas for the dispute to be referred to the International Court of Justice for a final settlement. Venezuela has often said it prefers the route of the UN's Good Offices process - diplomatic discussions involving a third party acceptable to both sides. Only time can predict the fate of Cinderella county, the pearl of the nation. Gen Ntaganda was first indicted in 2006 by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for allegedly recruiting child soldiers during the Democratic Republic of Congo's bloody five-year war. He has now been transferred to The Hague after surrendering to the US embassy in Rwanda after losing a power-struggle within his rebel group. Additional charges of rape, murder, persecution based on ethnic grounds and the deliberate targeting of civilians were added in May 2012 as a result of evidence given during the trial of his co-accused and former boss, warlord Thomas Lubanga - the first person to be found guilty by the court two months earlier. A witness testified that as a child he fought alongside "The Terminator" - saying he was a man who "kills people easily". He denies the charges. Gen Ntaganda is "just as dangerous as [Ugandan rebel leader] Joseph Kony", said ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda. "Not arresting Bosco, allowing him to walk freely, like he's not committed any crimes, is unacceptable," Ms Bensouda says. But that is exactly what happened, with President Joseph Kabila refusing to arrest him - for the sake of Congo's peace, he has said. And so, for years, the ex-rebel-turned-army general had been free in the eastern town of Goma, enjoying a life of impunity and luxury, which has included fine wine and dining and games of tennis. The local population was not so lucky. They blame Mr Ntaganda and his soldiers for a series of rapes, looting and murders - in North and South Kivu provinces, and in the Ituri district of north-eastern DR Congo. Bosco Ntaganda was born in 1973 in Kiningi, a small town on the foothills of Rwanda's Virunga mountain range, famous for its gorillas. As a teenager, Mr Ntaganda fled to Ngungu, in eastern DR Congo, following attacks on fellow ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda. He attended secondary school there - but did not graduate. In 1990, at the age of 17, he joined the Rwandan Patriotic Front rebels in southern Uganda. He fought, under the command of RPF leader - now Rwandan President - Paul Kagame, to end the genocide. After Rwandan unrest spilled over into DR Congo, he started to flip between fighting rebellions and serving in national armies - both Rwandan and Congolese. In 2002, he joined the rebel Union of Congolese Patriots in the Ituri district - and spent the next three years as Thomas Lubanga's chief of military operations. Mr Ntaganda then joined yet another rebel group - the CNDP - under the leadership of Laurent Nkunda, a key power-broker in the east of the country who, like Gen Ntaganda, had started his military career in the Rwandan rebel force that ended the genocide. With the backing of Rwanda, he went on to overthrow Gen Nkunda and take over the leadership of the CNDP militia. Despite being wanted by the ICC for alleged war crimes, by 2009 Mr Ntaganda was soldiering on the side of President Kabila - and was promoted to general. He was based in Goma, where he was in charge of up to 50,000 soldiers, many of them former rebels who remained personally loyal to him. According to a UN investigation, Mr Ntaganda built a lucrative business empire for himself in North and South Kivu - reportedly collecting taxes from mines controlled by the soldiers under his command, charcoal markets and illegal checkpoints. At one stage, Mr Ntaganda was making about $15,000 (£10,000) a week at one border crossing, a 2011 report by the UN Group of Experts found. He also is thought to own a flour factory, a hotel, a bar and a cattle ranch outside Goma. Human Rights Watch researcher Anneke van Woudenberg has met "The Terminator" several times. He is not an articulate or persuasive speaker, Ms van Woudenberg says. But, standing at just over 6ft (1.8m) tall, he has a certain presence and charisma - and likes to wear leather cowboy-style hats. But it is his ruthlessness that really stood out for her: "He is someone who will never face up to his crimes. He always denies and comes up with excuse after excuse to justify what he has done." The list of his alleged crimes is huge - and Congolese people say "The Terminator" is regarded as a man who leads from the front and personally takes part in military operations. In November 2008 international journalists filmed him commanding and ordering his troops in the village of Kiwanja, 90km (55 miles) north of Goma, where 150 people were massacred in a single day. He also commanded troops accused of having killed, because of their ethnicity, at least 800 civilians in the town of Mongbwalu, in Ituri district in 2002, after his troops took control of the rich gold mines in the area. In early April 2012, he defected from the Congolese army - leaving Goma, taking with him up to 600 heavily armed soldiers. On 11 April, Mr Kabila finally called for his arrest - but he said he would not be handing Gen Ntaganda to the ICC. Later that year, Gen Ntaganda's M23 rebel group seized Goma before agreeing to withdraw. Months of fighting have forced some 800,000 people to flee their homes. But in unexplained circumstances and with the rebels under intense international pressure, they split. Gen Ntaganda lost out to loyalists of his rival, Col Sultani Makenga, and apparently fearing death, he walked into the US embassy in Kigali, from where he was transferred to The Hague to finally face justice. Under the threat of a German invasion, a network of guard houses or pillboxes were built along the old Royal Military Canal near the Romney Marsh. The invasion never came and the concrete structures were abandoned and fell into disrepair. Now the National Trust is converting a pillbox at Kenardington into a roost for hibenating bats. David Lewis, from the trust, said: "It would have been manned by the local Dad's army - local volunteers manning heavy duty machine guns." Sticking their guns out through the slots in the pillbox, the volunteers would have had a clear view across the marsh to watch for potential invaders. Today, the cold, dark, damp conditions inside are ideal for hibernating bats. Mr Lewis said: "Having been out of use since the last war, it will be nice to put it back into something useful. According to the National Trust, the location of the Kenardington pillbox is ideal as it is surrounded by an exceptionally good feeding habitat of woodland corridors, meadows and water. The area provides a number of good breeding sites, but few hibernation opportunities. "There are not many caves out here so what we are providing is an artificial cave. It will be the 'des res' in the area for bats," said Mr Lewis. The conversion will entail blocking up the gun slots and painting them black to give the impression of dark holes. Wooden batons secured to the inner walls will support timber planks and tiles for the bats to crawl behind for their hibernation period. A metal grill gate will then be fitted in the entrance to prevent unauthorised access. Karen Hammond, from Hastings Bat Hospital, said: "They are losing their habitats at the moment - they are under threat they are on the protected species list. "The more that we can make people aware of them and the problems they have, then the better it is for the bats. "If we can provide more of these for them, hopefully their numbers will come up." Culling is taking place in two areas - west Somerset and west Gloucestershire - for a second year. The 30-year-old was detained following an incident at a farm in Bromsberrow Heath, near Ledbury on the Herefordshire-Gloucestershire border. He has been bailed to appear before Cheltenham magistrates on 23 October.

News Group Newspapers (NGN), which has previously settled a large number of cases brought against the now-defunct News of the World, has always said there was no hacking activity at its sister tabloid. But on Thursday in London, Mr Justice Mann allowed the claims to proceed. More than 1,000 phone hacking claims have been settled by NGN - now News UK. The judge said four claimants could amend their cases to include the daily newspaper for the first time in the proceedings against NGN. Two of those claims are among a number scheduled for a trial in July. Chris Hutchings, one of the lead solicitors for those claiming their private voicemail messages were hacked, said: "Today's ruling brings the Sun squarely into the civil litigation being brought against News Group." "The court has now allowed claimants, for the first time, to include claims of phone hacking by the newspaper. "The decision will also affect up to 50 further cases which are about to be commenced against the Defendant and will widen the disclosure of documentation it will have to provide going forward." The US central bank said it would buy $40bn (£25bn) of mortgage debt a month and kept interest rates at below 0.25%. It said it would also continue its programme to reduce long-term borrowing costs for firms and households. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1.8%, South Korea's Kospi gained 2.9% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 2.9%. This followed gains of 1.6% rise in the Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes on Thursday. Investors are hoping the measures will revive growth in the US economy, the world's biggest, and a key market for Asian exports. "They're saying that the punch bowl, the fuel for the economy, isn't going away - it's going to be here as long as you need it," said Tony Fratto, managing partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a policy consulting firm. There have been growing fears about the global economy with a weak recovery in the US and the ongoing debt crisis in the eurozone. The slowdown in China's economy, the world's second-largest, and one of its biggest drivers of growth after the global financial crisis, has fanned those fears. Prompted by these concerns, policymakers in these regions have been taking measures to try to spur a fresh wave of growth. The Federal Reserve's announcement came days after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced its latest plan. Last week, the ECB said that it would buy bonds from the bloc's debt-ridden nations in an attempt to bring down their borrowing costs. Meanwhile, China has cut its interest rates twice since June to bring down borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. Beijing has also lowered the amount of money that banks need to keep in reserve three times in the past few months to further encourage lending. This week South Korea has also unveiled two stimulus measures aimed at boosting domestic demand and helping small businesses. Analysts said the moves had helped reassure investors and markets that policymakers were doing all they could to ensure growth in the global economy. "You're witnessing global economic stimulus across the board," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. "The Fed's actions are occurring in conjunction with the European Central Bank's commitments to support the euro and amid talk that China could also deliver a stimulus package." It is hoped a caretaker government will be negotiated over the next three weeks that will prepare for new elections. The decision marks a breakthrough in weeks of crisis involving the ruling coalition, led by the Islamist Ennahda party, and the secular opposition. Anti-government protests intensified recently after the killing of two opposition figures. The crisis has threatened to disrupt a transition to democracy that began after Tunisians threw out their decades-old authoritarian government at the beginning of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings. The talks were announced on Saturday by the powerful UGTT labour union, which will act as a mediator. The union urged both sides to set a date for next week. Under the deal, the Ennahda party has agreed to three weeks of talks, after which it will hand power to an independent transition leadership and set a date for parliamentary and presidential elections. "The dialogue will start on Monday or Tuesday," said Lotfi Zitoun, an Ennahda party official, according to Reuters. "Ennahda has accepted the plan without conditions to get the country out of the political crisis." While Tunisia's uprising spread through the Arab world, efforts to strengthen democracy at home have stalled due to political antagonism. The opposition has accused the Ennahda party of pushing an Islamist agenda in the previously secular nation. The rivalry intensified this year after the murders of opposition politician Mohammed Brahmi in July and Chokri Belaid, a prominent leftist, in February. The moderate Islamist government has blamed hardliners for the killings but the National Salvation Front-led opposition has accused Ennahda of failing to rein in radical Islamists. Before the 2011 ousting of Tunisia's longtime leader, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, the country had been known as one of the most secular in the Arab world. The opposition has accused Ennahda of being too tolerant of radical Islamists trends. Analysts say the talks could struggle to break a deadlock if the rival parties are unable to overcome differences over a new constitution and the running of elections. Business Secretary Greg Clark confirmed last year that he had written to the Japanese firm to offer guarantees on how tariff-free trade could continue. The UK government refused to provide details, claiming it had to respect commercial confidentiality. The SNP said ministers had "flagrantly" breached freedom of information law. Nissan announced in October last year that it planned to build two new models at its Sunderland plant. Previously, it had expressed concern about future tariffs arising from Britain's decision to leave the EU. The SNP submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request last October, asking to see the Nissan letter. But despite being required to respond by 28 November, the Department for Business has yet to provide a response. The SNP has now submitted an official complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office, calling on the body to urgently probe the UK government over its "desperate attempt to avoid public scrutiny". SNP MSP Richard Lochhead said: "The Tories obviously think that if they keep on dithering and delaying then people will forget all about their sweetheart deal with Nissan - but this is fundamentally important. "The UK government gave written assurances to an international company - one part-owned by the French government - but have refused to tell the public what these promises were. "There is no credible reason why it should take months and months to respond to an FOI request looking for a single letter. "The Tories are flagrantly breaching FOI law to hide their secret sweetheart deal with Nissan - and the Information Commissioner should investigate this desperate attempt to avoid public scrutiny. It's time for answers." A UK government spokesman said the letter would only be released once its details were no longer "business-sensitive". He added: "Our position on this has been fairly clear. "When companies of all types and in all sectors share their investment plans with government, it is important for them to be assured that those plans will not be disclosed to their advantage. "It's a letter to a commercial business, that by its nature contains information about that business that could be used by its competitors." Rafael Marques de Morais accused seven generals of being linked to murder, torture and land grabs in Angola's lucrative diamond fields. Several people were reportedly arrested for protesting against the trial. Mr de Morais is a long-standing critic of President Jose Eduardo dos Santos' 35-year rule in Angola. He spent 43 days in prison, including 11 in solitary confinement, in 1999 after he published the article, The Lipstick of the Dictatorship, in a private Angolan newspaper. Dissent is generally not tolerated in Angola and some critics of the authorities are either bought off, jailed or disappear, says BBC Africa analyst Mary Harper. The latest case against Mr de Morais comes after he wrote a book, Blood Diamonds: Torture and Corruption in Angola. "There is no link between the Angolan armed forces and the crimes exposed," Joao Manuel, a lawyer for the generals, is quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. Judge Adriano Cerveira told the packed courtroom in the capital, Luanda, that the trial would be held behind closed doors, the reports. Outside court, scuffles broke out between police and protesters who chanted "free Rafael" and "imprison the generals", the agency said. Speaking after the case was adjourned until 23 April, Mr de Morais said: "I went to court today facing nine charges of criminal defamation. I left slapped with up to 15 additional ones for defamation." Mr de Morais was in the UK last week to receive a freedom of expression award given to him by campaign group Index on Censorship. It called for the charges against him to be dropped. Before the trial opened, Mr de Morais told the BBC's Focus on Africa radio programme that Angola's leaders lead Western lifestyles with luxury homes and cars, but denounce critics as "stooges of imperialists" when they demand freedoms enjoyed by people in the West. "As a good guy I'm out to fight these bad guys until I win," he said. If found guilty he could be sentenced to up to nine years in prison and fined $1.2m (£800,000). The unregulated diamond trade fuelled Angola's 27-year civil war, which ended in 2002. Since the end of the conflict, the country - one of Africa's major oil producers - has witnessed an economic boom, though critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite. Police discovered the 25-year-old's body at about 08:00 BST on Saturday in the Bro Silyn area of Talysarn, Gwynedd. North Wales Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the "tragic event". The coroner for north west Wales has begun an investigation. That sum could reach $13-15bn by 2015, it says. It calculates that a pirate can earn up to $79,000 a year. "Given the supply and demand for piracy services... there is plenty of room for expansion," the report warns. The EU Navfor anti-piracy force says 23 vessels and 530 hostages are currently being held. Geopolicity, which specialises in economic intelligence, forecasts an annual increase of 200-400 in the number of pirates operating off the Somali coast. Piracy cost between $4.9bn and $8.3bn in 2010, it estimates, taking into account the effect on maritime trade volume, the expanding area in which pirates operate and the more sophisticated tactics used to combat them. Piracy risks becoming a problem across African, Mediterranean and Pacific Rim waters, it warns. Total income to pirates and from piracy was $75m-$238m in 2010, the study says. And it highlights the earning potential of pirates in an impoverished country with few other opportunities, no government and no rule of law. While an individual pirate could earn $33,000-$79,000 a year, the next best alternative would bring in only $500 annually, or $14,500 over a lifetime. The consulting group highlights what it calls the "Pirate Value Chain" of pirates, financiers and sponsors. "Pirates are visible and known, financiers are harder to track, and sponsors remain invisible," it says. Geopolicity says its research charts "largely unknown territory", underlining the "relatively weak application of economics to the problem of piracy". "The supply of pirates, therefore, is closely related to the expected benefits of being a pirate and the associated risk-adjusted costs," the study says. Perhaps it was inevitable. Almost 90 years since the last US president visited the island, and certainly the first since Fidel Castro took power in 1959, it was always going to be historic. There was high symbolism, such as the wreath-laying at the memorial for independence hero Jose Marti or the Star Spangled Banner playing in Revolution Square. But for those of us who were here before the circus came to town, and will still be now it's gone, a few other things stuck in the mind. I'm not sure if "family diplomacy" is an actual academic term, but if it were, the Obamas in Havana would be the dictionary definition. Family life is central to Cubans, and I think most people here appreciated the fact that Michelle Obama and the girls joined the president on this visit. He even brought the mother-in-law! This was no cold and calculated diplomatic mission to an old enemy. He seemed to genuinely want his daughters to experience history and to see Cuba for themselves. He joked about how as teenagers they didn't like to join their parents on holiday any more, but that this was one trip they didn't want to miss. It may have helped his message to young people on the island too, of course. The first family sitting next to Raul Castro at a baseball match was hardly the image of evil US imperialism that past generations of Cubans were taught to associate with the White House. The trip by and large went smoothly, but it wasn't all careful choreography. The biggest surprise was the fact that Raul Castro was prepared to subject himself to the world's media. He simply doesn't do that. It was a first, as far as I could see. At the very least, the first time in years. It probably became the most uncomfortable moment of the visit too. First question up, President Castro was challenged on Cuba's human rights record by a Cuban American journalist. After fidgeting with the earphones and appearing to misunderstand whether the question was directed at him, he interrupted his guest in mid-flow. "What political prisoners?" he retorted. "Give me a list of political prisoners and I'll release them immediately. "Just give me a name. If we have those political prisoners they will be released before tonight ends," said Mr Castro. We can safely assume they won't be, as Cuba doesn't consider them to be political prisoners in the first place. President Obama later said the White House didn't provide such a list to the Cubans - but that engagement was the right way to tackle such differences. Nevertheless, to those of us who have to make do with short sound-bites as Mr Castro walks into a meeting or decipher what he says to the state media, it was an astonishing moment. We might hope that he'll be more open with the international media in the wake of the trip. But I'm not expecting a phone call from the presidential office, inviting me for a sit-down interview with Mr Castro anytime soon. While the issue of human rights and democracy created a little tension, it didn't stop it recurring as a theme throughout the trip. For Cubans, many of whom couldn't have imagined a state visit by a serving US president, the most extraordinary moment of all was the televised speech to the nation. Mr Obama is an impressive orator. Here he was at his most assured, finding the right tone between conciliatory and assertive for his audience. "I have come here to bury the remnant of the Cold War in the Americas," he said. But he wasn't about to go over Washington's mistakes in Latin America again. He pointed out that he was born a year after the Bay of Pigs debacle and wanted to move on from the past. He spoke directly to Raul Castro and the gathered members of the Cuban Communist Party - but also millions watching at home or listening on their radios. "The ideals that are the starting point for every revolution - America's revolution, Cuba's revolution, the liberation movements around the world - those ideals find their truest expression, I believe, in democracy." It was a deft turn of phrase, in essence using Cuba's revolutionary principles against its own leaders. On their very turf, live to the nation. President Obama said he "knows the history, but refuses to be trapped by it" - perhaps an echo of Fidel Castro's famous "history will absolve me" speech. He didn't avoid making his position clear, though, on the issues that divide them, saying if it was to be an honest and open relationship, then they should know what he thinks. "I believe citizens should be free to speak their mind without fear, to organise and to criticise their government and to protest peacefully. That the rule of law should not include arbitrary detentions of those who exercise those rights." Both Cubans and Cuban-Americans who watched these different events unfold told me they'd shed a tear at some moment during this trip, specifically during President Obama's speech. It had that sense of healing the bitterness of the past about it. The bar for the new relationship has been set, and it's very high. It will soon be down to Barack Obama's and Raul Castro's replacements to see if they can reach it. Karen Carney's first-half penalty and Fran Kirby's close-range finish gave Chelsea the victory that ensured them the title regardless of other results. Manchester City finished second with a 3-1 win at fourth-placed Liverpool. Unbeaten Arsenal were 5-0 winners at Bristol City to go third and Reading drew 1-1 at Sunderland to finish sixth. Starting the final day top of the table, level on points with Man City but with a vastly superior goal difference, Chelsea controlled their own destiny with an assured performance at Birmingham. After Kirby was clattered in the box by Birmingham keeper Ann-Katrin Berger, Carney fired in from the spot against her old club to make it 1-0 and, after the break, Berger then spilled Gemma Davison's cross towards Kirby, who easily tucked in the second. Chelsea's win ended Manchester City's run of three consecutive domestic club trophies, as Emma Hayes' side added to their double-winning year of 2015. Media playback is not supported on this device The Spring Series was a one-off, transitional competition aimed to bridge the gap between the old summer WSL campaigns and the first winter season in 2017-18. Teams played each other just once. Chelsea were beaten at 2016 champions Manchester City but clinched the title with three straight wins at the end of the campaign. Hayes' side conceded just three times in the series and scored 32 goals - 10 more than anyone else. FA Cup winners and Champions League semi-finalists Man City finished their busy season with goals from Jill Scott, Mel Lawley and Megan Campbell at Liverpool, who netted a late consolation through Scotland's Caroline Weir. Arsenal - who finished just one point behind the top two - were dominant at eighth-placed Bristol City, with Louise Quinn, Jordan Nobbs, Chloe Kelly, Danielle van de Donk and Beth Mead all scoring. At Sunderland, Melissa Fletcher had put Reading deservedly ahead, before Beverly Leon equalised for the hosts, who finished fifth in the table despite reverting to part-time status before the start of the season. There had been fears the police budget in England and Wales would face significant cuts. But Mr Osborne said: "Now is not the time for further police cuts, now is the time to back our police and give them the tools to do the job." The shadow chancellor said the decision was the result of pressure from Labour. Mr Osborne also pledged to increase the counter-terrorism budget by 30% and invest in new border security. The Treasury said police spending would be protected in line with inflation, which would represent an increase of £900m by 2019-20. Policing is not a protected area of public spending and it had been thought Mr Osborne was considering cuts in police budgets of up to 20% as he sought to make savings of £20bn across all departments. Why the government decided to perform an about-turn on police spending owes much to effective lobbying by police leaders who warned that further cuts put the police in risky territory. A number of senior officers and PCCs made representations to the home secretary over the last few months. They were not shroud wavers - but people whose views she respected. They pointed to the growing signs of strain on police forces and their ability to deal with cyber fraud and sexual offences, reports of which have gone up by 88% since 2012. The terrorist attacks in Paris then cemented the view in Whitehall that the cuts couldn't go ahead as planned. If the chancellor had limited the cuts to 10%, which police said they could just about cope with, there'd have been relief among most chiefs and PCCs. His decision to go even further, no cuts at all, which took the opposition benches by complete surprise, suggests that in the end politics played a key part too. Police disbelief at U-turn Mr Osborne told the Commons that he had "received representations" from shadow home secretary Andy Burnham that police budgets should be cut by 10%. But Mr Osborne said: "I am today announcing that there will be no cuts in the police budget at all, there will be real terms protection for police funding. "Mr Speaker, the police protect us and we are going to protect the police." Reporting from a policing conference in Manchester, the BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said police looked "astounded" at the news. He tweeted: "Got to say: I didn't see that coming. And no one at the police conference did either. Was it Paris that changed the Govt's mind? #CSR" The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey, Kevin Hurley, told the BBC: "It was almost like euphoria as if your football team had scored a goal. The police and crime commissioner and chief constables are delighted. But of course, we should remember we are already in the process of implementing cuts." Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell said a campaign by Mr Burnham had "forced the U-turn". He added: "We don't forget, though, we face the highest level of risk from terrorist attack in a generation. "But we have already lost 17,000 police officers, other cuts under this government." Steve White, chair of the Police Federation of England and Wales, welcomed the news but said the government urgently needed to revisit the "outdated and antiquated" 43-force structure. He added: "Officers are still hugely under pressure and many forces still have the final tranche of savings from the last set of cuts to find." Further details of police funding released by the Home Office include: Mr Osborne said police reform needed to continue in this parliament and that police forces would be able to make further savings by merging back offices and "sharing expertise". He said the government would be offering a new fund to "help this reform". Mr Osborne also said police and and crime commissioners would have "greater flexibility" to raise precepts - the money given to police through council tax - where they had been "historically low". Police forces have suffered significant cuts since 2010. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies spending on police services in England and Wales fell by 14% in real terms between 2010-11 and 2014-15. Police said those who dumped the firearm were "despicable and dangerous". The rifle was discovered on Monday along with a gun cabinet and ammunition. Police said the items had been stolen during a burglary in Lurgan on 9 December. "We are extremely fortunate that no one was hurt," said Sgt Sam Hoey. "The fact that a child found it does not bear thinking about." The children did not touch the items and alerted their parents to the discovery, police said. Stuart Sinclair handed the hosts the initiative when the Pirates midfielder was sent off in the 39th minute after being booked twice for simulation. Bury then broke the deadlock with a 50th-minute penalty by James Vaughan before Greg Leigh and half-time substitute George Miller ensured the Shakers' ended Rovers' nine-match unbeaten run. Rovers trio Luke James, Billy Bodin and Lee Brown were all off target before Sinclair got his first booking in the 24th minute. Bury keeper Joe Murphy then tipped over a Byron Moore shot and moments later the visitors were down to 10 men. The Shakers responded with Andrew Tutte and Vaughan firing over, and shortly after the break Leigh was fouled in the box by Lee Mansell. Vaughan fired the penalty high past Joe Lumley for his 21st goal of the season - and 11th in 10 games. Rovers almost hit straight back, though, as Tom Lockyer's long-range shot deflected against a post and Brown's follow-up was blocked on the line by Tom Pope. The hosts doubled their lead in the 65th minute when Vaughan crossed for Leigh to head home his first Bury goal. Miller then latched onto Kean Bryan's 75th-minute pass to cut in from the left and fire into the top corner, making it five wins from eight for the resurgent Shakers.

Former Wales and Lions scrum-half Mike Phillips, 34, and Ireland's most capped number nine Peter Stringer, 39, would be playing inside of him, two of the most experienced scrum-halves ever. Mugford, 25, joined Sale from Nottingham this summer having never played in the Premiership before. "It was bizarre. The first couple of weeks I felt like I was a prize winner around the club," he told BBC Sport. "Now I've settled in they're my team-mates, and my mates, and it is fantastic to call them that. He joked: "For the first few weeks I didn't really want to talk to them [Phillips and Stringer], I was scared and thought about asking for their autographs instead really." The former Exeter academy player, who has had stints at London Scottish and Plymouth, is one of two new fly-halves that have joined the Sharks this season along with USA international AJ MacGinty. He came on as a replacement for MacGinty to make his first appearance in Sale's 19-17 season opening loss at Newcastle, where he set up a try with a superb grubber kick but then missed a last-minute penalty to win the game. "Unfortunately for me I couldn't get that kick over at the end which would have been a dream story for me and a great start for the team," he added. "Me and AJ get on very well and we like to bounce ideas off each other and the coaches. We're both just trying to push as hard as we can to get better as individuals and therefore helping the team." The thriller was among the 10 winners from November's National Book Awards that went forward to a public vote to be named Specsavers Book of the Year. Burton, who beat such authors as David Nicholls and Karen Joy Fowler, said she was "indebted forever to the voting public for this incredible honour". The Miniaturist has also been named Waterstones Book of the Year. Organisers said her critically acclaimed novel won by a "significant margin ahead of outstanding competition" including We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler, Us by David Nicholls and Nathan Filer's The Shock of the Fall. Burton admitted "it is no exaggeration to say this has been a life-transforming year for me, and this award is a very big cherry on the cake". She said: "There are always stories to write, and people who want to read them, and as the year closes, I find this very heartening news indeed. "This wonderful acknowledgement will propel me into 2015, and I am deeply thankful to everyone who took the time to vote." Previous winners of the top award include The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (2013), Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James (2012), Caitlin Moran's How To Be A Woman (2011) and One Day by David Nicholls (2010). The Championship club is set to raise the price of adult tickets in the South Stand by £5, but a 'meal deal' voucher will be included in the price. A spokesman told the Yorkshire Post the club was "looking at ways to encourage supporters to use the catering". Leeds Supporters' Trust chairman Michael Green said it showed the club was "out of touch with its supporters". "It may not be on the same scale as some of the bigger issues the club has had to deal with since [chairman] Massimo Cellino arrived, but it is one of those things we could have done without," he added. Cellino was banned by the Football League in October, having been found guilty of an offence under Italian tax legislation, but his ban has been deferred pending the outcome of his appeal. In early November the Italian had a change of heart after announcing he was willing to sell his majority stake in the club to supporters. Leeds are 17th in English football's second tier, having taken 19 points from the first 18 games of the season. Sarah Harrison said the complex make-up of the substances is leaving staff playing "catch-up" in the battle to develop effective treatments. A BBC investigation has discovered some products did not contain the precise ingredients listed on their packaging. Police incidents involving legal highs have more than doubled in two years. Officers from 32 forces in England attended 3,807 incidents in 2014 - up from 1,431 the previous year, according to data compiled by the think tank the Centre for Social Justice. Ms Harrison, an advanced paramedic for North West Ambulance Service, said health workers are also seeing a surge in the number of people falling ill after taking legal highs, officially classed as new psychoactive substances (NPS). She said: "We have no drugs that counteract the effects of the substances that people are taking, and that's what's causing a lot of the problems. "A lot of the time we are not aware what substance they have taken and what combination, or even what the substance is because they come with different names and different street names. "So we are having to just deal with the medical effects and treat the patient at the time." BBC Inside Out North West asked biochemists from Liverpool John Moores University to analyse five separate brands of legal high, marketed as Ching, Cherry Bomb, Pandora's Box Unleashed, Gogaine and Exodus Damnation. In three of the products they discovered a mismatch between the ingredients listed on the packet, and what the substance actually contained. While none of the products contained controlled drugs, in some cases they showed traces of additional legal chemicals not listed on the packaging. And the Ching legal high actually had an illegal drug listed on the packet, whereas the drug inside was legal. Prof Harry Sumnall said: "This has implications for the retailer because under current UK law, you can't pass something off as an illegal drug, even if what you are actually selling is legal. "So in effect, the individual who was selling this product could be actually arrested and charged for the supply of an illegal drug." He added: "I think this really shows the complexities around this - that many purchasers and many retailers as well don't really know what they are buying." Only Gogaine and Cherry Bomb contained the precise ingredients advertised. Prof Sumnall added that although none of the legal highs showed traces of illegal drugs, these had been detected in previous tests of other products. The government is planning to bring in new legislation to make it an offence to produce, supply, import or export legal highs. The Psychoactive Substances Bill is currently being debated in Parliament and is likely to come into force in spring 2016. However, paramedic Ms Harrison said she does not think the use of legal highs will ever be adequately controlled. "We are seeing the effects of people stopping breathing, dying, becoming unconscious, becoming extremely paranoid and then that's causing problems with the family as well - upsetting other family members, being violent and aggressive towards other members of the public," she said. "Because [the ingredients in the drugs] are changing all the time, I don't think we can ever really get on top of it. "I think the main message is to not take the substances in the first place." The BBC's investigation into legal highs features on Inside Out North West, on BBC One at 19.30 GMT on Monday 26 October. Of the 1,500 people it surveyed, 43% wrongly thought food could only be frozen on the day it was bought, suggesting confusion over food safety. Some 38% incorrectly said food could become unsafe to eat in the freezer. In fact, "the freezer is like a pause button", the FSA's Steve Wearne said. Guidance published by the agency, which is responsible for food safety and food hygiene across the UK, says food can be safely frozen at any time up to its "use by" date. Although the taste or texture of the food can deteriorate over time due to ice crystal damage, frozen food will keep indefinitely, it says. Once defrosted, food will spoil in the same way as if it were fresh, it advises. Source: Food Standards Agency advice According to the FSA's research, 38% of people mistakenly thought it was dangerous to refreeze meat after it had been cooked. Almost a quarter, 23%, said they would never freeze meat that was cooked after defrosting, with 73% of those citing worries about food poisoning. More than two thirds, 68%, had thrown food away in the past month, mainly bread (36%), fruit (31%), vegetables (31%) and leftover meals (22%). Households in the UK waste the equivalent of about six meals a week on average, the FSA said. Are people snobbish about frozen food? How can you stop wasting food? Guidance provided to the food industry on date marking of food is being reviewed by officials from the FSA, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap). They will also look at expanding guidelines to cover food storage and freezing advice for consumers. "The freezer is like a pause button, so you can freeze foods right up to the 'use by' date," FSA policy director Mr Wearne said. "While food is kept safe in the freezer, it's the quality that deteriorates over time, so we recommend eating it within three to six months and checking for any freezing instructions on the packaging." "Once defrosted, the pause button is off, so defrost food as and when you need it and eat it within 24 hours of it being fully defrosted." The latest allegations follow the sacking last week of the UN's CAR envoy amid multiple allegations of sexual abuse by peacekeepers. The UN said that alleged rapes occurred on an unspecified date in Bambari city. The 10,000-strong UN force was deployed in 2014 to restore order in the CAR. A statement from the peacekeeping mission, issued in French on Wednesday, said that UN headquarters was "immediately informed" of the most recent allegations and that "all available evidence" was being collected. "A new series of disturbing allegations of misconduct have recently come to light," UN spokeswoman Vannina Maestracci told reporters. "The events allegedly took place in recent weeks." Ms Maestracci said that Bambari is where troops from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are deployed. There had been no comment from the DRC over the allegations. The peacekeeping mission is also being probed over its handling of alleged child sexual abuse by French troops last year, in which children as young as nine said they had provided sex in exchange for food. The UN mission in CAR took over from a smaller African Union force in September 2014. Last week UN envoy to the CAR Babacar Gaye was sacked by UN chief Ban Ki-moon who said that he was "anguished, angered and ashamed by recurrent reports over the years of reports of sex abuse and exploitation by UN forces". Violence in CAR escalated in March 2013 when mainly Muslim rebels seized power and the country descended into ethnic and religious violence, with tens of thousands of people fleeing their homes. John Sullivan, 66, of Abergavenny, was pulled from the River Usk, near the town's Llanfoist Bridge, on Monday morning, but was pronounced dead at the scene. Fire crews from Abergavenny and Blaenavon were involved in the search. Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding his death. Second-placed Exeter, who are now three points behind Sarries, were 17-0 ahead inside 25 minutes, with Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Olly Woodburn crossing. Tries from Cooper Vuna and Andy Symons then cut the deficit to five points. But Ollie Atkins sealed the bonus point after the break and Waldrom and Woodburn both completed hat-tricks to end Worcester's four-match winning run. Despite suffering their heaviest defeat of the season at Sandy Park, the Warriors' Premiership safety was still guaranteed following London Irish's home defeat by Sale Sharks. Dean Ryan's side had won just two of their opening 13 matches but four successive victories prior to Saturday's loss secures their place in the 2016-17 top flight, having earned promotion from the Championship last season. Exeter, meanwhile, need to win two of their remaining three games to secure a place in the play-offs for the first time, having missed out on the top four last year on points difference. Exeter Chiefs assistant coach Ali Hepher: "It was all about getting us back on track after a disappointing result last week. We had a review of our performance against Saracens and we weren't a million miles away. "We had to get our attack back in order and we looked dangerous for large parts of the game. "We were disappointed to give away a couple of soft tries just before the interval but we came out firing after half-time and it was important to get that try in the first minute of the second half." Worcester Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan: "We are running on empty and we showed we are not at their level. "We were never thinking we were a top-of-the-league side but it was a stark reminder for us. "They did a lot of damage to us in that opening quarter. It wasn't reflected on the scoreboard but their physicality and the pace that they played at made it very difficult for us, especially as we picked up yellow cards. "The depth of our squad wasn't up to the challenge and we need to keep improving. We need a week's rest as we don't want our season to drift away." Exeter Chiefs: Dollman; Nowell, Slade, Whitten, Woodburn; Steenson (capt), Chudley; Moon, Cowan-Dickie, Low, Atkins, Welch, Armand, Salvi, Waldrom. Replacements: Yeandle, Hepburn, Williams, Lees, Horstmann, Lewis, Campagnaro, Short. Worcester Warriors: Pennell; Heem, Olivier, Symons, Vuna; Heathcote, Hougaard; Rapava Ruskin, Annett, Johnston, O'Callaghan, Barry, Kirwan, Betty, Van Velze (capt). Replacements: Bregvadze, Leleimalefaga, Milasinovich, Sanderson, Cox, Baldwin, Lamb, Grove. Ms Harman, who was also the acting leader after the general election, said current leader Jeremy Corbyn came from a "strand" of left wing politics that was not motivated by gender equality. Half of the posts in Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet went to women. But the shadow home secretary, shadow chancellor and shadow foreign secretary are all men. Speaking at a conference looking at the issues faced by women in the world of work, Ms Harman said: "It is very difficult to be a party arguing for women's advance when your top swathe is men. "And I think that the strand of the left that Jeremy comes from has never been a gender-motivated part of the left. "It comes from a time, in a way, when gender was a new insurgency that arrived later on and was seen as a bit of a distraction from the proper left-right struggle." Ms Harman acknowledged "very important" posts like shadow health secretary and shadow education secretary were currently filled by women. But the elected positions of leader, deputy leader, general secretary and London mayoral candidate were occupied by men, she said, "before you even get to the appointed jobs" chosen by Mr Corbyn. "So Jeremy needs to think about how it has been perceived", she said, proposing the "very easy" solution of an additional, female, deputy leader. Ms Harman was also asked about Mr Corbyn's electoral chances. She said she was not in politics for "doctrinal purity" but to "make a difference", and to do "all the things you can't do if you're not in power". The ultimate responsibility of a Labour leader, she said, is to "take us as a Labour Party nearer to power and that's what needs to happen". Rather than "protest about what the Tories are doing" Labour has to understand why people voted David Cameron's party into government and to "address ourselves to the electorate", she added. Also appearing at the conference, organised to mark the 50th anniversary of BBC Radio 4's The World at One, Carers UK and Lucy Cavendish College Cambridge, former Conservative Culture Secretary Maria Miller said her party still had a "huge way to go in terms of getting more women on board". She also predicted plans to cut the number of MPs to 600 would present a "real challenge" to all the parties in their attempts to increase female representation in the Commons. Cpl Robert V Witt was believed captured when his unit was attacked by Chinese forces in late November 1950, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reports. Fellow troops later repatriated to the US said he died from malnutrition in January 1951. The US lists more than 8,000 soldiers as missing in the Korean War. Mr Witt's remains were found, along with those of other soldiers, in a joint US-North Korea excavation in North Korea in 2000. But it took many years since for them to be conclusively identified. They have now been returned to his sister, 82-year-old Laverne Minnick. She told the local newspaper: "I am so happy. He's going to be home, where he belongs, with his family." Mr Witt, 20-years-old when he went missing, will be buried with full military honours in Rose Hills Memorial Park in Los Angeles on Friday. The Battle of Chosin Reservoir, during which he went missing, was part of a Chinese offensive early in the Korean War that succeeded in driving US and other UN forces out of north eastern Korea. The Korean War lasted from June 1950 until July 1953 and pitted the US and its allies against the USSR, North Korea and communist China. At least two million Korean civilians, up to 1.5m communist forces, and around 30,000 US, 400,000 South Korean and 1,000 UK troops are believed to have died. A peace treaty has never been signed and the two Koreas would remain technically at war. The Conservatives pledged before the general election to replace the Human Rights Act, introduced by Labour in 1998, with a new Bill of Rights. It follows concerns about rulings by the European Court of Human Rights and their application to the UK. Opposition parties and a minority of Tories oppose scrapping the HRA. Proposed legislation on a Bill of Rights and Responsibilities will not feature in the government's programme for the year ahead, announced by the Queen, either in full or draft form. However, ministers have insisted they are committed to the plans and are consulting on the issues involved. The Human Rights Act formally incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights, of which the UK was a founding signatory in 1950 and which came in force in 1953, into UK law. Campaigners say the Act is a guarantor of fundamental freedoms, allowing people to challenge abuse, neglect or mistreatment, and that scrapping it would amount to "populist games with hard-won freedoms". But critics have said that European courts have strayed into areas, such as prisoners voting rights, that should be the preserve of Parliament and should be left to the British courts. The BBC's deputy political editor James Landale said that while the Conservatives had never said the measure would feature in its first Queen's Speech, it was now effectively being put "on the backburner". The government faced a tough fight over other legislation, he said, and the prime minister wanted to "choose his battles" - adding that No 10's view was that "we still want to do it but not now". Employment minister Priti Patel told the BBC that the government wanted to "bring sovereignty back to British courts" and the HRA had resulted in a "great deal of friction" between the British and European courts. But she said it was right for the government to "take time" and "implement its manifesto in the right way". "It is important that we concentrate on doing these things properly," she said. Labour said the government had "got the jitters" after calculating it could not get the measure through the Commons, while the SNP said the issue had been "kicked into the long grass". The boy was outside Craigbank Primary School in Glengonnar Street, Larkhall, at about 20:45 on Sunday when he was approached by an older child. The child threatened him with a weapon before taking his clothes. Police said it was a "terrifying ordeal" for the eight-year-old boy and have appealed to witnesses to contact them. Det Con David Timmons added: "Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident. "I would appeal to anyone who was in the surrounding area on Sunday evening, who may have witnessed what happened or may have captured the incident on their dashcam, to please get in touch." They together bought Heinz in 2013, and now, Heinz will merge with Kraft Foods to create the third largest food and beverage company in the US and the fifth biggest in the world. Heinz, controlled by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G, would own 51% of the new firm. The Kraft Heinz Company, and shareholders in Kraft, will hold 49%. The new company will have revenues of around $28bn and the chief executive will be Heinz's current boss, Bernardo Hees. It's a giant of a consumer goods company, with around a dozen brands that each generate revenues in excess of half a billion dollars, including Jell-O, Maxwell House, Oscar Mayer, Planters, and Velveeta. 3G also owns Burger King and has become a major player in the food and beverage industry, having invested as well in Wendy's. Kraft's shares have soared on the news. After all, revenues last year were flat and net profit fell 62% as the company lost market share in its US businesses. The new company is aiming for substantial cost savings of $1.5bn by the end of 2017. But, it's still an "elephant" for Buffett. Known for choosing companies with strong product lines, Buffet has described the deal as bringing together "two iconic brands". And both companies have plenty of those, but are facing pressures from changing consumer tastes. When I interviewed executives from Nestle and Unilever earlier this year, there was an optimistic sense that consumer spending is coming back that will help their bottom lines. They also faced pressures, though, from consumer tastes that are changing, including in their attitudes toward processed foods and what happens to all that packaging. I wrote before, for instance, about Unilever aiming for zero non-hazardous waste in their factories. Warren Buffett is aiming for his slice of the food industry that accounts for an estimated 10% of world GDP, so that's a sizeable $7 trillion per year. And he's doing so again with a Brazilian investor. That may surprise some, since there aren't many that come from emerging markets. But Brazil is a commodity exporter and it's no wonder that 3G is eyeing the recovery in consumer spending that can turn lower agricultural prices into a virtue for food retailers. The trend in the global food and beverage industry is certainly creating giants. Just 10 companies control nearly all of the packaged foods that we buy. Nestle, Unilever, Coca-cola, PepsiCo, Danone, Mars, Mondelez International, Kellogg's, General Mills and Associated British Foods are among the companies that generate more than $1bn in sales each day around the world. With this merger, Kraft Heinz will jump into the mix. He was driven towards the border with Mali, the mayor of the town of Abalak, Ahmed Dilo, told Reuters news agency. Gunmen arrived on a motorbike and then an all-terrain vehicle, first killing the guards and then taking the aid worker away in the car, he said. Niger has been less prone to kidnappings than Mali where militant groups are more active. A French-led military operation banished Islamist fighters from towns in northern Mali in 2013, but militant groups still roam the extensive desert region. Niger is trying to prevent violence spreading from Mali on its western border as well as battling Boko Haram militants carrying out raids across Niger's southern frontier with Nigeria. A Malian refugee camp in the region containing Abalak was attacked a week ago and 22 soldiers were killed. Niger battles on all fronts As yet it is unclear who seized the man in Niger. He worked for the Christian organisation YWAM (Youth With A Mission), sources told Radio France Internationale, and had lived in the area since the 1990s and spoke the local Tamachek language. One of the two guards killed is reported to be a member of Niger's armed forces. Gabe McGeown, from the Glenavy Conservation and District Angling Club, said he received a report that slurry had been dumped in the river on Thursday. He said the club had restocked the river with 900 fish in April. The Northern Ireland Environmental Agency (NIEA) said it is "currently pursuing a definite lead" and samples have been taken. The 80-year-old said he was "fuming and furious" about the error, which saw songs by the group Abhorrent Decimation printed on his CD. The singer made an album of covers following the response to his audition on BBC One's The Voice. He joked he should join the band "on the road", while their singer said they should "work together". Clifton's track listing was mixed up with that of Abhorrent Decimation's album, Miasmic Mutation. The comedian, who is famous for riding a yellow ostrich, said: "I'm fuming and furious... I got [the CDs] out the box and I looked on the back and here was the track listing of a death metal group. "We could go on the road, me and the lads. We could do To Dream the Impossible Miasmic Mutation." The band's singer Ashley Scott said he was alerted to the mistake after being shown an article about it on page three of The Sun newspaper. "I thought he was going to show me some buxom blonde and take the mick out of me for being a bit overweight and bang, there's the band. "I definitely want to talk to Bernie about working together on something... it would be amazing." Mr Scott said he thinks the error occurred due to similar catalogue numbers. Clifton, from Derbyshire, apologised to the people who pre-ordered his album and said copies would be with them shortly. The 43-year-old was assaulted on Liff Road, near its junction with Buttars Loan, at about 16:45 on Monday. Police Scotland said the victim sustained serious facial injuries and have appealed for witnesses, in particular a woman who was at the bus stop shortly before the incident. Officers said the man responsible was wearing a dark hooded top. Four 121m-high turbines have been built at Loughmore mountain, Monnaboy, near Eglinton, and will generate 12 megawatts of power. Gaelectric, the Irish firm behind the facility, predicts it will power almost 7,500 homes a year. It is the company's third wind energy project in Northern Ireland. Patrick McClughan, Gaelectric's head of corporate affairs, said the construction phase created over 25 full and part-time jobs. "We make a significant contribution to the local economy through supply contracts and that will continue through the operational lifetime of the facility," he said. "We have four other wind farms under construction at the moment and that will make significant contributions to Northern Ireland's green energy targets." In 2013, the renewable energy group opened a £20m wind farm in County Antrim. A year later, it completed a £58m wind farm in Dunbeg, County Londonderry. A number of wind farms in the north-west have been given approval in recent years, but some have met with objections. Last year, locals planners rejected an application by the firm RES, which wanted to erect seven large turbines in the town land of Barr Cregg, near Claudy, County Londonderry. It was one of Derry City and Strabane District Council's first major decisions after planning was devolved from Stormont. The reason is that the European Court of Justice has decided that insurers will no longer be allowed to take the gender of their customers into account when setting their insurance premiums. Up until now, insurers considered gender because - for example - there is a difference between the sexes in life expectancy and the likelihood of road accidents. Insurers will no longer be able to charge different premiums to men and women because of their gender following a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The industry was given time to prepare for the change, but the changes have now come into effect. The theory from the ECJ was that taking customers' gender into account contradicted laws on discrimination. In practice, the requirement for unisex premiums is likely to affect the cost of some types of insurance, notably car insurance, life insurance, health insurance, and the cost of an annuity - a financial product that provides a regular pension income. Lots of figures have been thrown around by groups interested, and at times angry, about this ruling. The likelihood is that there will be some volatility in the prices of insurance for some months as various insurance companies look at how their competitors are changing their charging structures. But many people are likely to notice a change the next time they renew, or shop around for better, insurance. The most obvious shift is likely to be seen for young drivers. There seems to be a general view that young men's premiums will fall a little, perhaps by up to 10%, but young women's will rise more, perhaps by up to 30%. AA Insurance says an annual car insurance bill for a young woman will go up by £400 on average. Women may benefit from higher payments when purchasing retirement income products as they have traditionally been offered lower benefits due to their higher average life expectancies. On retirement, many people buy an annuity - a financial product that guarantees a pension income for the rest of their life. Annuity expert Billy Burrows, of the Better Retirement Group, says a standard annuity bought with a pension pot of £100,000 by somebody aged 65 - male or female - will be £5,803, according to the latest figures. He says the changes resulting from the ruling are age dependent with younger men seeing the biggest cuts and older women the biggest rises. For a man aged 55 the cut in annuity income has been up to 5%, a man aged 60 has seen a cut of 3% and man aged 65 has seen a less than 1% cut. "It is a complicated picture but overall not as bad we thought and there are signs that some companies are increasing rates," Mr Burrows says. The build up to the change in rules created a self-fulfilling prophecy and rates did fall significantly, he says. "This was not all down to unisex annuity rates, it was partly due to an excess of demand over supply so companies cut rates to reduce business flow and increase margins," he says. On average women live longer and so currently pay less for life assurance than men. Following the ruling, the ABI estimated that men could see a 10% fall in costs, while women's rates could rise by as much as 20%. Again, the industry may only settle down a few weeks after the ruling. Health insurance may also be affected by the changes. Obviously, more than just gender is considered when setting an insurance premium, and this will remain the case. Other so-called "risk factors" will still affect the thinking of, and pricing by, insurance companies. For example, motor insurance will be higher for the driver whose car has a more powerful engine, and medical insurance could cost more for those with pre-existing conditions. The age of the customer can also still be part of an insurance company's thinking. The rules do not prohibit discrimination on age as they do on gender. In the short-term it has caused a lot more paperwork for the companies and their customers. Insurers are changing their policy documents, are having to contact their customers, and are updating their computer systems. They must also ensure brokers are giving out the correct price information and marketing is correct. In the longer-term, they will have one less variable to consider when setting prices, but it remains to be seen if this will cut the industry's workload at all. For customers, the advice is to shop around. Most insurers across all EU member states used gender as a factor in their pricing. So, they are having to change the way they calculate premiums in the same way as insurers in the UK. The ex-Blue Peter presenter said her career suffered after she was issued with a PIN (Police Information Notice). She was given the PIN, sometimes called a Harassment Warning Notice, in 2014 for allegedly harassing the partner of her daughter's estranged husband. Her accuser received a suspended 18-month prison sentence on Thursday. Kayla Thomas was sentenced for perverting the course of justice. A spokesman for Cambridge Crown Court said Ms Thomas had given a false witness statement and was also subject to a three-month curfew. The case has drawn attention to the issuing of PINs, which some claim are issued too frequently and without sufficient investigation. Jordan, who currently co-presents the BBC's Songs of Praise, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she felt "guilty until proven innocent", adding: "It is a horrible thing to be hanging over you for three years, for something you know you haven't done." Speaking to BBC Two's Victoria Derbyshire programme, she said: "I'm still reeling from it now. My integrity has been questioned and my sense of trust has flown out the window." The presenter said she had signed the notice because she thought she had "no option", without realising it would go "on some sort of record". She said the issuing of the notice and the media coverage it generated had had a "detrimental impact" on her charity work. "Some of the charities I was working with I haven't heard from again," she told the BBC on Thursday. Because signing a Police Information Notice does not mean admitting any wrongdoing, there is no right of appeal. In 2015, a government report acknowledged that the lack of any procedure for appealing against a PIN "can feel very unfair to recipients". "If somebody takes a dislike to you, they can make an allegation and you can be slapped with one of these notices," said Jordan. "The notices last about a year, but I've since found out they can stay on your record for longer. The police are aware they are less than perfect." Jordan presented Blue Peter from 1990 to 1996 and was its first black presenter. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

At least 150 have been rescued. Passengers are thought to include families and a large group of university students and teachers. It is unclear what caused the accident, although officials say the boat may have been overcrowded. Reports say the ferry was carrying at least 250 people at the time of the accident, while its official capacity is about 120. One survivor, Hnin Lei Yee, told AFP news agency that the sinking in Sagaing region "happened very fast". "The window was open so I had a chance to get out of the boat... I cannot swim, so I had to hold on to a plastic float and finally the rescue boat came to save my life," said the 27-year-old teacher who lost her baby daughter in the accident. A rescue official told Reuters that they had located the ferry on the river bed and were now trying to salvage it with cranes. Marine accidents are common in Myanmar (also known as Burma), where many still rely on rickety and crowded boats for transport. The AU mission (Amisom) says it repulsed the attack, killing 110 militants. Residents in Halgan told the BBC they had heard a huge bang followed by a heavy exchange of gunfire. Amisom supports the government as it fights to regain control of the country from al-Shabab. In a series of tweets it has said its soldiers, alongside troops from the Somali army, "drove back the attackers who are now on the run with the joint forces in pursuit". Ethiopia has denied that any of its soldiers were killed. Africa Live: More on this and other news stories It is not possible to verify the various claims about how many people were killed. Somali Security Minister Abdirizak Mohamed Ahmed told state-owned Radio Muqdisho that officials had counted the bodies of 240 militants outside the base. He said that nine Amisom soldiers had lost their lives. He said that the attackers had driven a car bomb into the base. Ethiopia is one of five countries contributing troops to the 22,000-strong mission and this is the first time an Ethiopian-run Amisom base has been attacked. Halgan, 260km (161 miles) north of the capital, Mogadishu, is part of the area of Somalia patrolled by Ethiopian soldiers. In January, al-Shabab targeted a Kenyan base in el-Ade, southern Somalia. It said it had killed more than 100 soldiers but the Kenyan authorities have not confirmed the death toll. Al-Shabab has also attacked Amisom bases run by troops from Burundi and Uganda. This morning Greece confirmed that it was sending a letter to the head of the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem. It was a formal request to extend the loan agreement by six months. The Greeks were offering significant concessions. They said they would refrain from taking any unilateral action that would undermine fiscal targets. They agreed that officials from the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - formerly called the troika - would supervise compliance with the deal. This was a significant step. Although the Greek prime minister has announced the troika as dead, officials from those institutions would still very much be active. Greece also pledged to meet its financial obligations to all creditors. The Greeks clearly expected that this would form the basis of a settlement. Shortly after they had sent the letter it was announced that eurozone finance ministers would meet in Brussels on Friday afternoon. The financial markets responded positively. They saw the meeting as a positive sign. Officials in Athens were briefing that they expected a deal Friday. Then, in Brussels, there was the usual midday briefing by the European Commission. The spokesman Margaritis Schinas revealed that Jean-Claude Juncker, the Commission President, had been involved in intense talks with the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. Mr Juncker, we were told, "sees in this letter a positive sign, which, in his assessment, could pave the way for a reasonable compromise in the interests of the financial stability in the euro area". Brussels appeared to be giving its backing to the Greek letter. Less than an hour later there was another briefing in Berlin at the finance ministry in Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin. An official, speaking on behalf of the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, said the Greek letter was "not a substantial proposal for a solution". He went on: "In truth it aims at bridge financing, without meeting the requirements of the programme." For the Germans there is a point of principle here. They want Athens to stick to commitments made by the previous Greek government. Secondly, they fear that Greece will gradually weaken some of the austerity conditions that were at the heart of the existing bailout deal. Berlin wants cast-iron assurances that Greece won't rehire public sector workers, for example. So there is tension between Brussels and Berlin and mistrust between Berlin and Athens. Some in Greece are already angry, believing they are being asked to capitulate and their election result ignored. It may be difficult for the Tsipras government to concede more. All the time pressures are mounting. If there is no deal, the current bailout agreement will expire at the end of the month and Greece could run out of money shortly afterwards. Today the Italian Finance Minister, Pier Carlo Padoan, warned: "We have to send a signal that the euro is irreversible. "If a country were to leave, it wouldn't just mean one less country in the union but the transformation of the euro into a mechanism that can be undone."

Long-standing US domestic and foreign policies, such as a commitment to free trade and membership of Nato, all face an overhaul. But events have moved fast. Here's how Mr Trump's incoming presidency has already changed the world. The final days of the Obama administration might have been very different, with the outgoing president handing over safe in the knowledge that his signature policies will be protected by another Democrat. Instead, his administration has gone on the defensive, scrambling to protect his legacy, laying down what Mr Trump has called "roadblocks". There have been sanctions against Russians, a ban on offshore energy drilling, a refusal to veto a UN call to end Israeli settlements and a last-minute rush of deals with Cuba. All of these conflict with pronouncements made by Mr Trump, and could at the very least make life more difficult for the president-elect. What marks does Obama's presidency deserve? The campaign was dogged by baseless stories shared on social media, from a claim that actor Denzel Washington had endorsed Mr Trump (he didn't) to the notorious "pizzagate" conspiracy. After criticism from users, arguably the key gatekeeper, Facebook, announced measures to tackle the problem of fake news. The higher-than-high stakes election did more than anything to highlight the problem, and America was not the only country affected. In Italy, for instance, there were concerns fake news had influenced last month's constitutional referendum. Social media giants face a tricky 2017, trying to balance the freedom enjoyed by their users with a new, unfamiliar role as arbiter-in-chief, perhaps assuming an even bigger role in our lives. World stock markets have enjoyed a strong run since Mr Trump's election, thanks, analysts say, to investors' belief he will boost infrastructure and cut taxes when in office. Mr Trump promised to be the "greatest jobs president that God ever created" and has taken credit for a slew of company announcements. But while the Donald may giveth, the Donald can also taketh away. Companies, whole sectors even, have seen share prices rattled by Mr Trump, with some traders reportedly adapting their algorithms to respond instantly to his tweets. Pharmaceutical firms, for instance, were hit during a press conference when Mr Trump said they were "getting away with murder". Trump on Twitter: A history of the man and his medium Some of Mr Trump's angriest rhetoric has been directed at China. Beijing was infuriated by a phone call he took from Taiwan's leader, in defiance of the "One China" policy. But while Mr Trump seems to be squaring up to China, could China see a Trump presidency as an opportunity? Xi Jinping became the first Chinese president to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he defended globalisation, a pointed rebuke to Mr Trump's attacks on free trade. China has been stepping up its economic leadership, pushing an expanded free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region. And it could position itself as a leader on climate change, too, with the country's Vice-Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin saying it was no Chinese hoax, and that a change in US policy would not affect Beijing's commitment to the issue. Hillary Clinton may have missed her chance to become the first female US president, but could a Trump presidency spur other women to shatter that ultimate glass ceiling? Several groups dedicated to getting more women into politics have seen a surge in new members and donations. The election was "the kick in the pants that I needed", as one woman now hoping to run for office put it. And while the US has a disproportionately low number of women in politics, this already seems to be changing with the largest number yet elected to Congress in 2017. Mr Trump had no shortage of detractors during the election, be they foreign powers, business leaders or members of his own party. But it didn't take long for them to come around. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who all but disowned Mr Trump in the campaign, pledged on election night to work "hand-in-hand" with the next US leader. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson once declared Donald Trump "unfit" to hold the presidency, before calling for an end to the "whinge-o-rama" over his win. Tech leaders, many of whom had railed against Mr Trump, ended up meeting him at Trump Tower. Perhaps refusing to work with the new president simply is not an option. But are his new fans meeting him on common ground, or has Mr Trump dragged the US - and the rest of the world - to uncharted territory? Unlike products such as condoms and sunscreen, female sanitary products attract a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The tax hit headlines in May when an online petition calling for the removal of the tax attracted 90,000 signatures. Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey then asked state and territory governments to remove the tax. The Labor treasurers of Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory said in a statement on Friday they would seek to have the tax removed at a meeting of federal and state treasurers, next week. "Once the proposal receives the unanimous support of the states and territories, the federal health minister can declare by determination, the supply of a good to be GST-free," they said. They said the lost revenue of about A$30m ($22m; £14m ) could be recouped from other reforms such applying the GST to digital downloads and overseas products bought online. A spokesman for the lab which operated the Tevatron accelerator denied scientists had made a discovery there. The Tevatron, based at Fermilab in Illinois, is the US rival to Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The rumours were made public in a blog post by an Italian particle physicist. But a spokesman for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) told BBC News: "There is no merit to the rumours of a Higgs discovery." On Tuesday, the laboratory's Twitter feed said: "Let's settle this: the rumours spread by one fame-seeking blogger are just rumours. That's it." Stefan Soldner-Rembold, a spokesperson for the DZero experiment at the Tevatron, told BBC News: "There is no evidence yet of a Standard Model Higgs signal; more data will be needed for that. "The rumours started by the blog are not correct and blogs are not a reliable source of information." The Higgs boson is of huge importance to the widely accepted theory of physics, known as the Standard Model. It is the sub-atomic particle which explains why all other particles have mass. However, despite decades trying, no-one, so far, has detected it. Last week, Tommaso Dorigo, who is a physicist at the University of Padua in Italy, wrote on his blog: "It reached my ear, from two different, possibly independent sources, that an experiment at the Tevatron is about to release some evidence of a light Higgs boson signal. "Some say a three-sigma effect, others do not make explicit claims but talk of a unexpected result." "Three-sigma" refers to the statistical certainty of the result - a 99.7% likelihood of an accurate measurement. However, errors and fluctuations in the data mean that high energy physicists require an effect of five-sigma to produce convincing evidence of a discovery. On Tuesday, physicist and blogger Lubos Motl published more detail on the Tevatron rumours. But he noted that the anonymous source for his information was sceptical of the observation. Finding the Higgs is the primary aim of the £6bn ($10bn) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment near Geneva. But the giant particle smasher is not expected to be capable of searching for the signal from a Higgs boson until 2011 at the earliest. So the possibility remains that the Tevatron could still make a discovery before the European machine. Particle physicists are set to present new data from their experiments at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) in Paris from 22-28 July. Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk Lukasz Robert Pawlowski, of Pembroke Dock, appeared for sentence at the Pembrokeshire court on Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexual assault. He was airlifted to Swansea's Morriston Hospital where he was recovering. On Friday at the court, he was charged with having a bladed article in his possession. He did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody. He will appear at Swansea Crown Court on 10 February. He was also remanded for sentencing on the sexual assault charge. Pont Briwet, near Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd, carries the Cambrian Coast railway and has a single-lane toll road for cars. Snowdonia National Park approved the demolition and the new bridge, which will include cycle paths. Pont Briwet has stood since 1867 and was partially rebuilt in 1932. The bridge crosses the boundary of Snowdonia National Park, and carries only cars and trains. Lorries and buses face an extra 8m (12km) journey from Penrhyndeudraeth to the Harlech road. The new crossing is a joint project between Network Rail, Gwynedd council, Snowdonia National Park and the Countryside Council for Wales. A Snowdonia National Park report said the old bridge was "very rare". "The current bridge is recognised as an iconic structure and it forms a striking and memorable access for travellers reaching the National Park from the direction of Penrhyndeudraeth," said the report. "The Countryside Council for Wales considers it to be a crossing that is nationally important in terms of landscape and it is very rare in context of the United Kingdom." The report described how the national park's planning and access committee had given "detailed attention" to demolishing the listed bridge. Following a meeting last month, the committee said the redevelopment would create "significant advantages to the community that would outweigh the loss as a result of the demolition". The report said the applicant wanted to provide a road that was "suitable for use by all vehicular traffic groups". It added: "The proposed combined bridge is of concrete construction. It will be approximately 18m wide in comparison with the 8.5m of the existing bridge." Construction of the new bridge is due to start this year and should be completed within two years. Media playback is not supported on this device The Dark Blues defeated the Staggies 5-2 in a frenetic Dens Park affair. "I was really pleased today," Hartley told BBC Scotland. "I felt it was a very important game in terms of the top six. "We've given ourselves a chance, a platform for the next two games. It's where we want to be, but there was some great play today." Kane Hemmings and Greg Stewart scored twice for Hartley's side, with fellow attacker Rory Loy also netting. The trio's manager said the scoreline did not come as a surprise. "We're a team that plays on the front foot; we like to entertain," said Hartley. "Some weeks you don't know what you're going to get from us, but the majority of the weeks we have been good, we're good to watch, and the front three can cause anyone problems." On speculation over the future of Stewart, Hartley replied: "I don't know [if we can keep him]. With performances like that he's going to attract attention. We can't stop speculation, we want to keep him here, he's got a year left on his contract and it's something we want to try and discuss with him." Ross County manager Jim McIntyre, meanwhile, said it would be extremely painful were his side to fall short of the top six, having held a position in the Premiership's top half for much of the season. Defeat leaves County seventh, trailing Dundee on goal difference having played a game more. "We're relying on favours from other people now," said McIntyre. "We've been in the top six from day one, and it's been progress, but if we're to fall out it like we have this weekend and we don't make it it'd be gut-wrenching. "It'd be a real, real sore one for us, but you've got to say, if we don't get enough points then we don't deserve it." Sir David Clementi, who led the independent review, said there was a need for "fundamental reform". The BBC is currently regulated by the trust, its executive board and Ofcom. In response, the BBC Trust said it was important to "get the details right" on any changes. Sir David, former chairman of Prudential, and previously a deputy governor of the Bank of England, said there should be a "fundamental reform of the system of governance and regulation" for the BBC. "The BBC Trust model is flawed. It conflates governance and regulatory functions within the Trust. The BBC should have a unitary Board charged with responsibility for meeting the obligations placed on it under the Royal Charter and Agreement, and responsibility for the interests of Licence Fee payers. "Regulatory oversight should pass wholly to Ofcom, which is already the public service regulator for the UK's broadcasting industry and has the ability to look at the BBC in the context of the market as a whole. Ofcom would be a strong regulator to match a strong BBC." He added that the BBC should have a "unitary board made up with a majority of non-executive directors" with "responsibility for meeting the obligations placed on it under the Royal Charter and Agreement, and for the interests of licence fee payers". The report, commissioned by the Government as part of the BBC Charter Review process, also recommends the imposition of "operating licences", which set out the BBC's obligations to its audiences, and a system where the BBC "handles complaints in the first instance with Ofcom handling appeals on editorial issues". A further recommendation would see the BBC's Charter place on the corporation a "duty to consult with the public both as consumers and as licence fee payers". In response to the report, BBC Trust chair Rona Fairhead said: "Sir David Clementi proposes a strong BBC board and a strong external regulator - a change we have argued for. "It will be important to get the details right, and we now want to work with the Government to ensure roles are clear, the structure is effective and the BBC's independence protected." Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), which was previously used by the airport fire services in both islands, was first found in water in 2007. In drawing up its report, the UK Health Protection Agency said it was safe but the human health effects of exposure to PFOS had not been fully investigated. There are no internationally agreed safe levels for PFOS in drinking water. Guernsey Water spends about £25,000 a year on monitoring levels in the island's water supply, having adopted guidelines form the Drinking Water Inspectorate for England and Wales. The agency found levels in Guernsey have been gradually falling over the last five years while those in Alderney have remained roughly the same. The report said: "The levels of exposure to PFOS in the drinking water in Guernsey and Alderney are not expected to result in ill health for the population. "However, the information available on the human health effects of PFOS exposure is still not conclusive and existing studies have suggested that PFOS may have effects on cholesterol and thyroid hormone levels," it added. "Local remedial actions taken by the authorities to date have been necessary to reduce any potential risk." The agency found the places where the substance had leaked into soil were mostly within the boundaries of the airports. Soil contaminated when a fire truck overturned on Guernsey's runway in 2002 has been removed and sealed in a bund by the airport entrance. PFOS was used to tackle a fire caused by after a plane crash in 1999 and the soil in the field where it happened is due to be removed and sealed in a smaller bund next to the other one. Deputy David De Lisle, who has previously raised concerns about the substance, said the independent report had not convinced him local drinking water was entirely safe. He said the UK standards relating to PFOS were not as stringent as those in the United States and he would like those standards to be adopted in the islands. Scientists have found that the chemical components of a fragrance can transfer from one person's clothing to another's - even if any contact is brief. The scent's signature lingers for days, although it lessens over time. The team says this is a proof-of-principal study, but suggests that perfumes have the potential to be used as trace evidence. The researchers, writing in the journal Science and Justice, said that analysing fragrances could be a useful tool in cases where there has been close physical contact, such as sexual assaults. Lead researcher Simona Gherghel, from University College London, said: "We thought there was a lot of potential with perfume because a lot of people use it. We know about 90% of women and 60% of men use perfume on a regular basis. "While there is a lot of work in forensic science on transfers - for example, the transfer of fibres or the transfer of gun-shot residue - until now there has been no research on the transfer of perfumes." Forensic reconstruction Perfumes are concocted from many different chemical components, which in combination give an individual fragrance its distinctive smell. The researchers, looking at a single male fragrance, found that some of these components were easily transferred from one piece of cotton to another. When the two pieces of material were pressed together for just a minute, 15 out of 44 chemical components were detected on the second piece of fabric. If the contact time increased to 10 minutes, 18 components were measured. The scientists also tracked how time affected the transfer of the volatile compounds. They found that five minutes after an initial spray of fragrance, 24 out of 44 perfume components were detected on the second piece of fabric after it had been in contact for 10 minutes. Six hours after the perfume was applied, 12 components were transferred and seven days later, six volatile components were retained. Dr Ruth Morgan, director of the UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences, said: "It is a pilot study and a proof-of-concept study. We've shown that first, perfume does transfer, and second, we can identify when that transfer has happened. "In the future there could well be situations where contact between two individuals is made and this is a way of discerning what kind of contact is made and when it was made." However the team added that any evidence would have to be collected extremely quickly after an offence, which could limit its usefulness. They said it was also unlikely that fragrance would be used alone to solve a case. Dr Morgan added: "It is not going to be a one-stop indicator. In most investigations we would be hopeful that there would be multiple lines of investigation. We wouldn't want it to just be DNA or just a fingerprint or just perfume. But in combination, with other forms off evidence, that's the way it builds up into a very compelling picture." The team said more work now needs to be done to assess how perfumes transfer in more realistic forensic reconstructions. Follow Rebecca on Twitter: @BBCMorelle Jamie Turner, 26, and Myles Bell, 23, repeatedly had sex with the girl, aged 14, and another girl, 16, after giving them alcohol and cocaine, Liverpool Crown Court heard. The "exploitative" men filmed the abuse and used it to threaten their victims, police said. Turner, of Davidson Road, Old Swan, and Bell, of Makin Street, Walton, were each sentenced 12 years in jail. Andrew Ford, prosecuting, said Turner filmed the 16-year-old having sex while there were other men in the room. Both men were found guilty of two counts of having sexual activity with a child and two counts of inciting a child into sexual activity. Turner admitted four counts of taking indecent images of a child, involving filming degrading videos of the 16-year-old girl. Judge Anil Murray said they had used the younger girl "for your own sexual gratification for 15 months", treating her as a "sexual plaything" without a "care for her feelings." In victim impact statements read out to the court, one girl said she was "so embarrassed and humiliated" by what the men did to her. The other victim said they used her "in the most horrible and sickening way". Det Ch Insp Mark Kameen said the crimes were "despicable and exploitative". Judge Murray ordered the men to sign the sex offenders register for life and imposed indefinite restraining orders and sexual harm prevention orders. Mitchell Starc took 4-36 after captain Steve Smith hit 165 as Australia declared their first innings on 624-8. Australia had 68 overs to force a win. They reduced Pakistan to 91-5 at tea before sealing victory in 53.2 overs to take an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was fined 40% of his match fee and the rest of his team 20% for a slow over rate. "It finished a lot better than it started," Starc said. "It's fantastic for us to get that result. The belief was there and it was a fantastic way to finish. "We knew we only had two sessions to get those 10 wickets and together as a bowling unit we've done really well." The third Test starts in Sydney on 3 January but Misbah has not committed to playing in the match after a poor series so far. The 42-year-old, who was dismissed for a two-ball duck after managing just 11 in the first innings, only scored nine runs in total in the first test in Brisbane. "I haven't decided about that [Sydney] but let's see," he said. "[If I'm not contributing] there's no point in hanging around." Signed by the three most important figures in Myanmar's recent history, it's being seen by some as a sign that a deal is being struck between Aung San Suu Kyi and her long time adversaries in the Burmese military. Since first being made public on Facebook on Saturday night, a picture of the money has gone viral on Burmese social media. It was uploaded by a young man called Nay Shwe Thway Aung. For the last few weeks he has been acting as an intermediary between Aung San Suu Kyi and his grandfather, one of Myanmar's most notorious and controversial leaders - the former dictator Than Shwe. Than Shwe ruled Myanmar with an iron fist between 1992 and 2011. They are remembered as some of Myanmar's bleakest years, with harsh internal repression coupled with international isolation. Aung San Suu Kyi, spent most of it cut off from the world, under house arrest. Then four-and-a-half years ago Than Shwe retired from politics. He stepped back from public view but few believe he truly let go. Though he's now 82 there are many who believe he still makes all the major decisions. So on Friday, amidst much cloak and dagger, Aung San Suu Kyi met Than Shwe at his house in the capital Naypyitaw. The only account we have of that meeting is from the man who organised it, Nay Shwe Thway Aung. On his Facebook page he said that the meeting had lasted two-and-a-half hours, a clear sign that discussions went beyond pleasantries. By way of comparison, Ms Suu Kyi last week met separately with President Thein Sein and the Commander in Chief of the Army Min Aung Hlaing. On paper they are Myanmar's two most powerful men, but neither discussion lasted more than an hour. Perhaps Than Shwe was the main event. Nay Shwe Thway Aung said after the meeting the participants agreed to release two short comments for him to publish on Facebook. Ms Suu Kyi played a straight bat. She was quoted saying she had no feelings of revenge or hatred and had wanted to meet with Than Shwe to discuss working with the military to build a successful Myanmar. Than Shwe's comments are more intriguing. Remember, this is a former dictator meeting with a woman he has spent decades detaining and trying to thwart. "It is the truth that she will become the future leader of the country after winning the election," Than Shwe said. "I will support her with all of my efforts if she works for the development of this country." Two phrases stuck out. What did he mean by "future leader" and what sort of "support" might he have in mind? Than Shwe could of course just have been using "leader" in the same way as Ms Suu Kyi has been using it of late. She has been stressing that though the constitution bars her from becoming president, because her sons are British, she will still effectively "lead" the government and will consider herself an authority "above" the president. But the choice of words encourages speculation that an improbable deal might still be on the cards. Might Than Shwe "support" an agreement to allow Ms Suu Kyi to become president in February 2016. It would certainly need some constitutional contortions, but if there was the will amongst the Burmese military, a way would almost certainly be found. It is notable that amongst army ranks there has been no attempt to pretend that the electoral landslide on 8 November was anything other than a ringing personal endorsement for Ms Suu Kyi to lead. "Now that people have selected a person who they think can fulfil their needs, the next thing is for the elected person to fulfil their desires," the current army Commander in Chief Min Aung Hlaing told the Washington Post two weeks ago. A few have suggested that the offending clause, 59F, might somehow be waived to avoid the constitutional dog's dinner that Ms Suu Kyi is threatening. In the cold light of day it still feels the longest of long shots. Myanmar's military leaders, with Than Shwe first among them, have spent the last 25 years trying to restrict Ms Suu Kyi's freedom and political power. Are they really willing to bend their rules for her now? Could the election really have changed everything? So back to the banknote. Posted to Facebook by Nay Shwe Thway Aung on Saturday night, it contains the signatures of Than Shwe from 2009, the current President Thein Sein from 2012, and Aung San Suu Kyi from when she met with him on 19 November. According to Nay Shwe Thway Aung, the signatures were gathered either when the person was Myanmar's leader or on their way to becoming leader. The symbolism is clear - Than Shwe to Thein Sein to Aung San Suu Kyi - a line of succession that few thought possible. Underneath the picture of the banknote are more than a thousand comments lauding Nay Shwe Thway Aung for his efforts. One even suggests a Nobel Peace Prize might be in order. Ms Suu Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), have so far refused to comment in any detail on the ongoing negotiations. But it is a measure of how far she has come, that the discussion is no longer whether the former political prisoner is going to lead the next government, but precisely how. The campaign to win Myanmar's election was very public. The battle to win the military over is taking place very much in secret. With information scarce, the Burmese public are clinging to every hint that emerges, even if it is written on the back of a banknote. Until last week, no artist had ever had more than four top 10 hits at the same time - but Sheeran smashed that record to pieces, putting nine songs from his new album, Divide, into the top. The main reason for his success is streaming. Tracks from his album were played 110 million times last week on Spotify, Apple Music and their competitors, sending all 16 tracks from Divide into the chart. "I don't know if there's some weird thing that Spotify and Apple Music are going to have to change now," the star told BBC Radio 1. "I never expected to have nine songs in the top 10 in my life. I don't know if something's gone wrong but I'm definitely very, very happy about it." A look at the midweek chart update suggests Ed will continue to overshadow the competition, with six tracks clinging on to their position in the top 10. The record industry is delighted - HMV says the album "exceeded expectations", while Sainsbury's recorded their biggest week of CD sales since Adele's 25. "The sheer voracity with which it's been devoured is just incredible," boasted Sheeran's record label boss, Ben Cook, in an interview with Music Week. But the star's unprecedented one-man takeover of the chart has left people wondering whether the venerable countdown has become redundant. The problem is that, with Ed Sheeran taking up 40% of the available space, other acts are being pushed out. Last year saw a shockingly low number of new artists making their Top 40 debut. Even this week, the much-anticipated new single from Lorde only managed to score a new entry at 28, even though it was at number 12 in the download chart. "The charts have changed dramatically in the last five or 10 years," Official Chart Company boss Martin Talbot told the BBC. "We're constantly reviewing the way that we count those different ways of consuming, and we will continue to do so." Here are some of the ways the charts could be redrawn to fix the Sheeran situation. This week, we have the ludicrous situation where 14 of the top 20 singles aren't actually singles. They're album tracks. It would be pretty easy to exclude all the other songs and bring back a sense of normality to the countdown. But there's a problem: if Ed decides to release Galway Girl as a single later down the line, it's already been bought and streamed 90,000 times. It's very likely the single would be classified as a "flop". At the minute, every time a song is streamed 150 times, it counts as one real-world "sale". The Official Charts Company recently upped that ratio from 100:1, but even that couldn't stop Ed's chart takeover. Yet, if you look at the paid-for download chart, Divide doesn't dominate nearly as much. It only accounts for six songs in the top 20, with hits by Rag 'N' Bone Man and Katy Perry holding on to their positions. The dilemma is that streaming is enjoying exponential rates of growth. Spotify added 10 million customers in the last six months; while Apple Music has attracted 20 million subscribers in less than two years. One quick fix, suggested by reader Andy Mac, would be to impose a cap on individual users. "Once you hit 150 streams that count as a sale, no more streams from your account count toward the chart," he says. Others have suggested the limit should be just 20 streams. Whether or not that's viable, the Charts Company needs to be much more nimble, tweaking its formula on a monthly basis to stop streams becoming a flood. By including streaming data, the modern charts reflect what people are listening to, as well as what they buy. In theory, this is great. It eliminates the phenomenon of "fan club hits" - where a dedicated group of, say, One Direction fans could send a song to number one on the week of release, only for it to disappear seven days later. On the flipside, you can argue that lots of Ed Sheeran's streams came from people who didn't even choose to listen to him. A "passive" listener, who simply fires up one of Spotify's curated playlists is likely to hear Ed's music at least once. Its UK Top 50 playlist is dominated by Divide; while Hot Hits UK has three of Sheeran's songs in its line-up. If it's technically possible (and no-one can quite tell me whether it is or not) passive streams could carry less weight than those generated by a fan typing "Ed Sheeran Divide" into the search bar. This is a controversial one. UK radio stations, including BBC Radio 1, have long wanted the charts to reflect what's being played on air. It already happens in the US, where radio exposure can send a song into the Billboard Hot 100 long before it becomes popular on streaming services. The figures are carefully weighted to reflect that a song played at 4am won't be heard by as many people as one played at 4pm - and that a station with a large audience has more impact than a smaller rival. In the UK, including airplay could give a helping hand to new artists - especially given the role that Radio 2 and Radio 1 play in championing new music. The downside is that commercial radio - with honourable exceptions like Radio X, Kiss and Rinse - is horrifically conservative. A grime artist like Stormzy, who dominated the Top 40 a week before Ed Sheeran, can only struggle to 36th place in this week's airplay chart. Only kidding. In fact, Ed's not even the first person to score multiple new entries off the back of a new album. Beyonce, The Weeknd and Stormzy have all done similar things in the past year - albeit on a smaller scale. And none of the above solutions would satisfactorily address the way big releases overshadow the competition - which gives an idea of the difficulties faced by the Official Charts Company.

Apart from anything else, since the crash of 2008, the MPC has failed to hit its target of 2% inflation - with a symmetrical margin of error of 1% above and below - more times than it has succeeded. There have been credible reasons for that failure: increasing interest rates to curb inflation in the Great Recession might have turned that recession into a depression. But there is something odd - and perhaps ultimately credibility destroying - about a target more honoured in the breach than in the execution. And not all successful central banks have mandates quite so narrowly defined in terms of inflation. The US Federal Reserve, for example, is obliged to maximise employment as well as price stability. So perhaps there is something to be said for broadening the remit of the MPC - although it should be pointed out that the world's investors who lend to governments are more tolerant of failure by the Fed than by the Bank of England, because they are obliged to invest in dollars in a way that they don't have to hold pounds. The argument for changing the target seems more compelling perhaps in today's world where inflation is zero and deflation imported from a slowing global economy seems as big a threat to some - including the Bank of England's chief economist Andy Haldane - as a return to confidence-damaging price rises. Mr McDonnell yesterday suggested new targets could also include growth, jobs and earnings. As it happens his Labour predecessor, Gordon Brown - steered by his then economics guru Ed Balls - considered the case for a broader mandate when giving control of interest rates to the Bank of England in 1997. They rejected that approach for fear that muddled policy would be the consequence. There is virtue in simplicity, so long as the exclusive focus on prices does not wreak the collateral damage of undermining living standards. There are some who would like to see the Bank doing more now to stimulate growth and employment creation, and are concerned that its hands are tied by its official forecast that doing nothing will bring inflation back to 2% over the next two or three years. For those critics of Bank inaction, an increase in the inflation target to 3% or so would be a possible solution. Which perhaps highlights that there is a big question about Britain and the rich West to be answered here. Has the beast of inflation, which for most of the post-War years was the UK's prosperity-hurting nemesis, been slayed - or at least imprisoned for a generation? Or is the monster hiding, ready to pounce and complicate businesses' investment decisions and households' saving calculations? Or possibly, as some argue, a bit of inflation, especially wage inflation, that cut the deflationary burden of our record debts, would be a good thing. All of which suggests that Mr McDonnell's debate about the Bank of England may be a debate worth having, though the optimal outcome isn't easy to see. Javier Hernandez and James Wilson are the only other true strikers left after Robin van Persie joined Fenerbahce and Radamel Falcao's loan ended. Boss Louis van Gaal is considering using Rooney as a sole striker with support coming from summer signing Memphis Depay behind him. However, Van Gaal did not rule out "a surprise" signing. Following Friday night's friendly win over Club America, he said: "I am not worried about depth of forwards. We still have Rooney. He can play in the striker's position. Last year the media said he had to play there. I listen to the media. "We also have [Javier] Hernandez, [James] Wilson and maybe a surprise, you never know. It is a process." Despite spending £83.1m on four players so far this summer, the club have not ruled out another big-money signing. Rooney, 29, has been relatively injury-free over the past two seasons. On both occasions he was United's top league scorer with 14 and 17 goals respectively. The last time he was used extensively as the club's main forward was during the 2009-10 season, when he scored 34 goals - the best tally of his career so far. Depay, 21, could be played in a more central attacking spot than the wider role he usually occupied at PSV Eindhoven, Van Gaal has said. He played behind Rooney in the number 10 role in the opening match of his side's US tour against Club America. Hernandez is now likely to be the main back-up to Rooney, which is a surprise as his United career looked over when he went on loan to Real Madrid last season. The Mexican, 27, is currently sidelined with a broken collarbone that ruled him out of his country's Gold Cup campaign. A similar role has been earmarked for 19-year-old Wilson, who did not make the progress anticipated last season after scoring twice on his debut against Hull in May 2014. Media playback is not supported on this device State TV in Vulovic's home country of Serbia said she was found dead in her apartment in Belgrade. The cause of death was not immediately known. Vulovic was working on a Yugoslav Airlines flight on 26 Jan 1972 when a suspected bomb brought the Douglas DC-9 down in mountains in Czechoslovakia. All 27 other passengers and crew died. Vulovic was trapped by a food cart in the plane's tail section, which plummeted to earth in freezing temperatures. The tail landed in a heavily wooded area blanketed by snow, cushioning the impact, investigators said at the time. She was rescued by Bruno Honke, a woodsman who heard her screaming in the dark while the debris came down around them. After arriving in hospital, Vulovic fell into a coma for 10 days. She had a fractured skull, two crushed vertebrae and she had broken her pelvis, several ribs and both legs. "I was broken, and the doctors put me back together again," she told the New York Times in 2008. "Nobody ever expected me to live this long." The fall gained the stewardess a place in the Guinness Book of Records 1985 for the highest fall survived without a parachute. It was suspected that a bomb was planted inside the jet during a stopover in Copenhagen, Denmark, but nothing was ever proven and no arrests were ever made. Vulovic was temporarily paralysed from the waist down by the fall but in time made a near-full recovery and returned to work for the airline in a desk job. She had never regained any memory of the accident or of her rescue, she said, and she continued to fly as a passenger. "People always want to sit next to me on the plane," she once said. The spectacular survival story won Vulovic celebrity in Serbia, where she channelled her fame into campaigning for political causes. She was fired from her job at the airline in 1990 after taking part in protests against President Slobodan Milosevic, but avoided arrest. She continued for two more decades to fight against nationalism. "I am like a cat, I have had nine lives," she told the New York Times. "But if nationalist forces in this country prevail, my heart will burst." Twelve nations will compete for the trophy, including hosts Ireland, defending champions England and Wales. The pool matches in Dublin are sold out, with the semi-finals and final taking place at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast. "The excitement across Ireland and beyond is phenomenal," said Beaumont. "It all points to what will be a defining, record-breaking Rugby World Cup." World Rugby, the game's governing body, has suggested that this tournament could be "the most competitive, best attended, most watched, and most socially engaged women's rugby event to date". England - the only professional outfit, although their contracts expire after the tournament ends - are both the World Cup holders and the current world number ones. Captain Sarah Hunter, who was part of the winning Red Roses team in 2014, said: "We are immensely proud of what we achieved then, but we are with a new squad now and it is very much about being one of 12 teams who are here to win a competition - not retain a trophy." Media playback is not supported on this device Champions England start their defence against Spain on Wednesday (kick-off 14:00 BST), and will go on to face Italy and USA in Pool B. Twelve players will be making their World Cup debuts in the opening match, while head coach Simon Middleton has left 392 caps on his bench, and big names Natasha Hunt and Marlie Packer miss out on the 23 altogether. Wales have been handed a very tough draw in a group with world numbers two and three, New Zealand and Canada, along with debutants Hong Kong. Carys Phillips captains the Welsh in their opener against New Zealand (14:45 BST), while 18-year-old India Berbillion has replaced Rebecca De Filippo in the squad after the centre was ruled out with a foot injury. Hosts Ireland - semi-finalists in 2014 - have suffered a major injury blow with captain Niamh Briggs being ruled out of the tournament through injury. Flanker Claire Molloy will lead out the team against Australia in their first Pool C match (19:00 BST) before matches against France and Japan. Sara Orchard, BBC Radio 5 live commentator England are currently on top of the world and they have done it in quite impressive fashion. They will be the hunted team - everyone will want to knock them off their perch. There are definitely teams out there who can compete. France, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand play good rugby - they are all top-level teams. If anyone dares say that women can't kick a rugby ball, I think you'll be very shocked when you watch this tournament. It is fierce, it is ferocious and I'm delighted to say I won't be on the field of play taking them on.

Ireland head coach Tom Tierney: "The Australians are a good team and we will have to be very good for the opening game. "However, this is a home World Cup and we're confident that the crowd will get behind us, which will be an added benefit for us, and we're all looking forward to getting the tournament under way." England head coach Simon Middleton: "We are really happy with the way our tournament preparation has gone and the squad have worked really hard over the past number of months. Now it's about translating that hard work and preparation and delivering performance on the pitch." Wales coach Rowland Phillips: "We're hoping to do Wales proud. We've set out a path to take women's rugby in Wales to new heights, and while that goes well beyond New Zealand, the Black Ferns are an excellent team to test yourself against."

Initially measured by the US Geological Survey as magnitude 7.7, the quake is now listed by the USGS as magnitude 7.5. Even this revised assessment makes Monday's event a terribly powerful tremor. Around the world, only about 20 quakes each year, on average, measure greater than magnitude 7.0. But the origin of the shaking was more than 200km (125 miles) below the surface - much deeper than the magnitude 7.8 quake that brought widespread destruction to eastern Nepal in April. That event was only 8km deep and was followed by many aftershocks, including one in early May of magnitude 7.3. Similarly, the devastating tremor that killed tens of thousands in Kashmir almost exactly 10 years ago was magnitude 7.6 - and just 26km deep. The much greater depth of Monday's quake appears to have lessened the ground shaking that it produced, although its effects were felt over a wide area. "The rupture dimensions will be very similar, but it's very far away from the Earth's surface, so there is strong shaking but it is much less severe than for a shallow earthquake," said Prof Martin Mai, an earthquake physicist from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. Monday's tremor shares an overall cause with the Nepal earthquakes in April and May: the slow collision caused by India pushing north into the Eurasian continent. But they are not directly related. "Those Nepal earthquakes are not directly linked to this; they did not set in train a chain of events that caused this earthquake," said geoscientist Prof David Rothery, from the Open University. "It's not part of an earthquake swarm." The Hindu Kush mountains sit on the corner of the Indian plate, rather than being at the front line of the continental collision, where the Himalayas are thrust upwards as India disappears beneath Eurasia at a rate of 40-50mm (2in) per year. It is in this rugged region that the sideways slip between India and Afghanistan meets the head-on impact of the Himalayan fault line. There are many small, interacting faults and forces pushing in different directions. "It's a really intricate area," Prof Mai told BBC News. "This is where several plates have met, over several millions of years, and formed this really complex deformation pattern. "Many fault lines have been mapped, and not all of them are active right now. But any of them could become active at any time, through such an earthquake." Fortunately, the particular area that shook on Monday has tended to see deep earthquakes, rather than shallow ones. "This is an area in which, predominantly, the earthquakes that occur are at a depth of 100-200km, while the event of 2005 occurred in a region [300km south-east] where we see more shallow earthquakes, historically," Prof Mai said. Geophysicists studying this pattern of deep quakes in the Hindu Kush have suggested they might be caused by "boudinage": a process that takes its name from the French for sausage, because of the odd-shaped chunks of rock that result. A narrow slab of the northward-pushing Indian continent has been forced downward by the collision and now sits almost vertically. It is being further pulled and ruptured by forces in the Earth's mantle - and those ruptures produce deep earthquakes. "These earthquakes occurring at 200km are indicative of the processes of deformation that are occurring deep beneath the crust, as this piece of slab is being drawn down into the mantle underneath the Hindu Kush," said Simon Redfern, professor of mineral physics at the University of Cambridge. "The earthquake today fits this pattern." Follow Jonathan on Twitter IAG shares added 3.7% after it said it was targeting average annual earnings per share growth of more than 12% between 2016 and 2020. It also said the head of Vueling, Alex Cruz, would replace Keith Williams as chairman and chief executive of BA. Mr Cruz will take over the role next year when Mr Williams retires. The FTSE 100 index opened higher, but then lost ground. At the close, the index was down 11.07 points at 6,353.83. The biggest faller in the FTSE 100 was mining firm BHP Billiton, down 5.7%. BHP is one of the owners of an iron ore mine in Brazil where on Thursday a dam holding back waste water burst. More than a dozen people are feared dead as a result of the flooding. AstraZeneca shares fell 0.5% after the company announced it had bought US biotech company ZS Pharma for $2.7bn (£1.8bn). In the FTSE 250, shares in TalkTalk rose 2.4% after the telecoms company released more details on the extent of the cyber-attack it suffered last month. The company said that only 4% of TalkTalk customers had any sensitive personal data at risk. Retirement housing firm McCarthy & Stone announced it had priced its shares at 180p for its flotation, valuing the company at £967m. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.94% against the dollar to $1.5065, but gained 0.26% against the euro to €1.4017. The new airline, EasyJet Europe, will be based in Vienna. The airline must have an air operator certificate in an EU member country to allow it to continue flying between member states after Brexit. EasyJet said its application was "well advanced" and it hoped to receive its licence in the "near future". The carrier said "nothing will change" from the perspective of passengers, and that all the staff and planes that would fly for EasyJet Europe were already employed and based in the other 27 EU countries. A spokeswoman for the prime minister Theresa May said the move by EasyJet was a "commercial decision" and that the government was working to achieve the best deal for business. EasyJet announced last year that it was in the process of establishing a separate presence on the European mainland, in readiness for when the UK leaves the EU. This is because the UK risks losing access to Europe's internal "open skies" arrangement. Since 1997, any EU airline has been free to fly between any two points in Europe, something that enabled companies such as EasyJet and Ryanair to grow to their present size. Current EU flying rights might have to be renegotiated and the new company would ensure EasyJet could operate within the EU. The UK government has said maintaining "liberal access" to European aviation markets will be a top priority during Brexit negotiations. Unless British negotiators manage to secure preferential conditions, UK airlines could find it harder to launch new routes in Europe. In a statement, EasyJet said: "While the new structure will protect all of EasyJet's current flying rights within Europe, EasyJet will continue to push for the UK and EU to reach an aviation agreement which, at a minimum, will enable flights between the UK and EU." EasyJet already has an airline based in Switzerland, as well as its UK operation. The parent company - EasyJet PLC - will retain its London Stock Exchange listing and its Luton headquarters. A 93rd-minute equaliser from 10-man Southampton leaves Sunderland one point and one place above the drop zone. "We have shot ourselves in the foot," Allardyce told BBC Newcastle. "What a massive difference it makes to our plight at this stage of the season. We should be going three points clear of the bottom three." Jermain Defoe scored his 14th goal of the season to give Sunderland the lead at St Mary's, but a stoppage-time leveller from Virgil van Dijk denied the Premier League strugglers maximum points. The Black Cats are above Norwich, who are in the last relegation spot, while Newcastle are also a point adrift of their north-east rivals, but have a game in hand. "It's going to take some getting over for me," Allardyce continued. "Don't keep saying we're out the bottom three - it's not enough points. We've got to accept that we're still one of the favourites to get relegated." He continued: "There's no game [for Sunderland] next week which means nobody could have caught us up if they win - now they could go past us and that puts extra pressure on us." Allardyce's side will next play Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday, 20 March in what could be a decisive derby clash. "We have got a crucial game at Newcastle in two weeks and this one will make the difference for me," said defender Younes Kaboul. "We have to make sure we are ready to give everything for the fans." Sheikh Salman was convicted of inciting hatred, promoting disobedience and "insulting" public institutions. His al-Wefaq movement has accused the Sunni-led government of aggravating the country's crisis with his sentencing. The Gulf state has grappled with sporadic unrest since putting down mass Shia-led protests in 2011. Campaign group Amnesty International said the conviction violated the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Bahrain is a signatory. Sheikh Salman's arrest in December triggered protests across the country. "The regime is pushing toward aggravation and issued a sentence of four years for the Bahraini opposition leader Sheikh Ali Salman," al-Wefaq tweeted. Bahrain's state news agency BNA said Sheikh Salman had been found guilty of charges "relating to publicly inciting hatred, an act which disturbed public peace, inciting non-compliance with the law and insulting public institutions". But he was acquitted of inciting political change by force, for which he could have been jailed for life. The charges relate to a series of statements by Sheikh Salman made in a public speech last year. Said Boumedouha, Middle East and North Africa deputy director at Amnesty, called the conviction "shocking". "It is yet another clear example of Bahrain's flagrant disregard for its international obligations," Mr Boumedouha said. "Sheikh Ali Salman has been sentenced solely for peacefully expressing his opinion," he added. His defence lawyer, Abdullah al-Shamlawi, has said that Sheikh Salman can appeal Tuesday's verdict. Shia-dominated demonstrations against the Sunni monarchy have been continuing sporadically for the past four years. In 2011, dozens died when the government moved to quash protests. The demonstrators were demanding more rights and an end to discrimination against the majority Shia community by the Sunni royal family. It expanded at an annualised rate of 3.9% between July and September, up from the 3.5% first estimated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The rise, which follows a strong second quarter, means the US has seen its strongest two consecutive quarters of growth for a decade. Consumer spending was the biggest driver of the raised estimate. It grew by 2.2% according to the latest estimate, which was higher than the initial calculation of 1.8%. Consumer spending is closely watched as it accounts for 70% of US gross domestic product (GDP). The data suggests the US has shrugged off the slow start to the year when heavy snow saw the economy shrink. "The question of whether the economy is accelerating or will accelerate is no longer a question; we can say somewhat definitively that the economy has already accelerated," said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG. Meanwhile, a separate survey, showed US house prices rose by more than expected in September. The closely-watched S&P/Case Shiller index jumped 4.9% year-on-year. The index, which measures single-family home prices in 20 cities, showed that prices were up 0.3% month-on-month on a seasonally adjusted basis. "With the economy looking better than a year ago, the housing outlook for 2015 is stable to slightly better," said David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Capital Economics economist Paul Dales said the strong GDP upgrade underlined his expectation that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates as soon as March next year. "Most people were expecting a downward revision so this was a real surprise," he added. At the end of October, the US Federal Reserve said it would not raise interest rates for a "considerable time". It also ended its quantitative easing (QE) stimulus programme of buying financial assets and creating new money to pay for them, aimed at stimulating the economy. However, it said it was confident the US economic recovery would continue, despite a global economic slowdown. Mr Dutton was caught on camera joking about "water lapping at your door" to Prime Minister Tony Abbott - who chuckled as well. The embarrassing faux pas came shortly after Australia refused to commit to further climate change pledges. That decision attracted criticism from Pacific island leaders. Mr Dutton had made the joke on Friday in Parliament House while waiting for a meeting, which was being covered by the media, to start. He was standing next to Mr Abbott, who had just returned from the Pacific Islands Forum in Papua New Guinea's capital Port Moresby where leaders had been discussing climate change and rising sea levels. When Mr Dutton commented on the meeting running late, Mr Abbot replied: "We had a bit of that up in Port Moresby." Mr Dutton then joked: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door." Social services minister Scott Morrison, who was standing next to them, then pointed out that there was a boom microphone above their heads. Mr Dutton was lambasted by several opponents including the leader of the opposition Bill Shorten. "It was a bad joke by a minister who is a bad joke," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Greens senator Larissa Waters said in a tweet that it was a "breathtaking global warming gaffe. If there's a joke here, it's Abbott's climate policies." Mr Dutton has refused to comment on the joke, and told reporters it was a "private conversation with the prime minister". The smaller countries at the Pacific Islands Forum, which ended this week, had wanted to commit to a tougher target for global warming limits, but Australia and New Zealand refused. Kiribati president Anote Tong called the decision "disappointing". Stephanie Booth, 70, was crushed when the vehicle overturned as she mowed grass at her farm near Corwen, Denbighshire, on Sunday evening. She was found by her husband David, 72, who went looking for her when she failed to return home. The Health and Safety Executive and coroner have been informed. Mr Booth said: "She was mowing ready to put sheep in one of our fields when she went too close to the top of a bank. "The tractor rolled down about 20ft and overturned. Stephanie was dead when I found her." Mrs Booth was born Keith Hull but went through gender reassignment in 1982 at London's Charing Cross Hospital. She was one of the first people in Britain to go public about her sex change and later launched a series of businesses for the transgender community. She also founded the Albany Clinic which gives specialist medical advice and guidance to transsexuals. The couple also ran a catering and hotel business and, in 2008, she starred in a BBC series about the industry called Hotel Stephanie. In 2011, Mrs Booth led a bid to buy Wrexham Football Club but later withdrew after claiming she received death threats. Later the same year her hotel business went into administration. After that, Mrs Booth led a less high-profile life, instead concentrating on her magazine Yattar Yattar and her transgender mail order business. On Monday Aberystwyth University and the Royal Veterinary College pledged to develop a joint training programme. The venture will create a hub tailored to the needs of the Welsh farming and animal health industries. Cabinet Secretary for Environment Lesley Griffiths said the move was "excellent news for Welsh farmers and the veterinary profession". "Veterinary education for Wales has long been a topic of discussion and this is an ambition now being realised," she said. "This collaboration between Aberystwyth University and the Royal Veterinary College will provide a much needed hub of veterinary expertise right in the heart of our longest established university." Wales does not currently have any provision for veterinary education and the programme will focus on farming and livestock science, increasing the number of professionals in veterinary medicine. Farmers' unions have said there are not enough vets to deal with sick farm animals in Wales. Great Northern and Thameslink trains serve centres such as London, King's Lynn, Cambridge, Peterborough, Hertford, Bedford and Brighton. A shortage of drivers on Sunday meant many services were cancelled. "We rely on drivers working rest days but on this occasion, it has not been possible and for that we apologise," a company spokesman said. "Sometimes, such as at Christmas time and annual leave periods, we do not have enough drivers to carry out both day-to-day operations and the large amount of training required. "We have been working flat out to address this with the UK's biggest driver recruitment and training programme. "Currently we have 190 drivers being trained - 96 on Thameslink and 94 on Great Northern - and it takes more than 12 months for them to become proficient on their dedicated routes." New electric Class-700 trains with larger carriages are to be introduced across the north-south route through central London from 2016, the company said. Pupils were moved from Christ the Redeemer Primary School at 09:00 GMT on Monday after police were contacted about a suspicious object outside the school fence. A section of Lagmore Drive was closed while army bomb experts investigated. The pupils were taken to a nearby church hall. BBC News NI reporter David Maxwell said there were "chaotic scenes" as parents arrived to collect their children. Hints of its presence are seen in the shape of the white continent's surface, in a largely unexplored region called Princess Elizabeth Land. If confirmed by a proper geophysical survey - now under way - the winding canyon network would be over 1,000km long and in places as much as 1km deep. These dimensions would make it bigger than the famous Grand Canyon in the US. "We know from other areas of Antarctica that the shape of the ice surface is obviously dependent on the shape of the landscape underneath - because the ice is flowing over that landscape," explained Dr Stewart Jamieson, from Durham University, UK. "When we look in Princess Elizabeth Land with satellite data, there seem to be some linear features in the surface ice that to us look very reminiscent of a canyon. "We have traced these faint lineations from the centre of Princess Elizabeth Land all the way to the coast, off to the north. It's a pretty substantial system," he told BBC News. There are suggestions also that the canyon network is connected to a previously undiscovered subglacial lake. If confirmed, this lake would likely cover up to 1,250 square km, which is about 80 times as big as Windermere, England's largest lake. The initial interpretation of a canyon system is supported by radar data that has been gathered in a couple of locations. Radar sees through the ice layers to the hard rockbed below. The story is consistent, says team-member Prof Martin Siegert, from Imperial College London, UK, said. "Discovering a gigantic new chasm that dwarfs the Grand Canyon is a tantalising prospect. "Geoscientists on Antarctica are carrying out experiments to confirm what we think we are seeing from the initial data, and we hope to announce our findings at a meeting of the ICECAP2 collaboration, at Imperial, later in 2016." Most of Antarctica has now been covered by full geophysical surveys that have imaged the continent's underlying topography. But there remain two "Poles of Ignorance" that need to be filled in. One of these is Princess Elizabeth Land; the other is the Recovery Basin. Both are in East Antarctica, and both are now the targets of intense study. International teams - comprising scientists from the US, the UK, Australia, China and other nations - are flying sensors back and forth across thousands of square kilometres of ice surface. When complete, Antarctic researchers will have a comprehensive view of what the landscape really looks like beneath all its accumulated ice. This is fundamental knowledge in trying to understand how the continent might react in a warming world. "If we don't know the shape of the rockbed, we cannot confidently build models that will produce sensible behaviours in the ice," asserted Dr Jamieson. The latest research is published in Geology journal. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos Media playback is not supported on this device South Africa suffered a 20-18 defeat by Italy in Florence on Saturday. Wales secured a narrow last gasp win over Japan but record try scorer Williams says they have the players to beat the Springboks. "Wales are one of the most physical teams in the world and you use that to your advantage," Williams said. "Initially you get into an arm wrestle and you try and get ascendancy on a team. "The scrum's gone pretty well and the driving mauls that we didn't see on the weekend were pretty good leading up to the game. "Wales have got good enough players to go head to head with South Africa, score points and score tries and really put them under pressure. "South Africa are hurting and this is a game Wales should win." Replacement fly-half Sam Davies saved Wales' blushes with an 80th-minute drop-goal to beat battling Japan 33-30. Williams, who spent three years playing for Mitsubishi Dynaboars in Japan, said Wales looked "disjointed" in their third game of the autumn series. Media playback is not supported on this device "I think the players certainly should be good and capable enough to play an expansive, wide game of rugby," Williams told BBC Wales' Scrum V. "We just didn't look comfortable ball in hand whereas Japan, a tier two side, just showed us the way in that respect. "It's all about managing the game, we know we can play this style of rugby that Warren Gatland's been playing for quite some time - going forward and using Jamie Roberts. "It doesn't mean we have to come away from it completely. "We didn't do it at all on Saturday because we want to play a wide game of rugby. "We are a professional outfit. Wales are a team which should be able to play out wide when they want to." Williams was disappointed 18-year-old Ospreys wing Keelan Giles did not feature against Japan despite being among Wales' replacements. "He should have started because he's a player playing with such confidence," Williams added. "That's all you need sometimes at international level - one touch and do something right." The Pontypridd MP said the government should be able to ask people if they are certain they want to leave Europe. It comes after the High Court ruled the government could not trigger Article 50 without Parliament's support. Prime Minister Theresa May has appealed the decision and the Supreme Court is set to hear the case in early December. Mr Smith told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme: "I will attempt to amend the legislation such that there is an option for Parliament to put it to the country that there should be a second referendum. "Now, it may not be possible to do that, the government may try and frame the bill in such a way as they make it impossible, but that will be my objective. "That doesn't necessarily mean you have a second referendum, it may be that the terms that are negotiated are advantageous to Britain. It may be clear that the country as absolutely content with that. "But if it becomes clear over the next two years that we are going to have greater economic uncertainty, that the country is going to be worse off and people aren't sanguine with the result, I think any sensible government would want to have, as an option in its armoury, the prospect of asking the question again in order to be certain." If it loses its Supreme Court appeal over the High Court's Brexit ruling, it is expected that the government will have to publish some form of new law for MPs - and the House of Lords - to vote on. The Prime Minister has vowed to carry out Brexit "in full" despite the ruling and said MPs should accept the referendum result. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mrs May said she was appealing against the High Court decision because there was "an important principle at stake". She said MPs and peers who regret the referendum result "need to accept what the people decided" and called for unity on taking Brexit forward. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said his party would not allow Article 50 to go ahead unless Mrs May agreed four principles. They include access to the single market, a commitment to EU workplace rights, guarantees on safeguarding consumers and the environment and a pledge to commit funds for any EU capital investment lost by Brexit. The 27-year-old became the city's first world champion when he beat Panama's Luis Concepcion by a unanimous decision in Manchester in December. His opponent on 13 May at the Barclaycard Arena is yet to be named. "It's a dream come true to be topping the bill in Birmingham as a world champion," said Yafai. "I want to prove that I can mix it with the top guys in the division and I need to kick my reign off in style in May to do that." Unbeaten in 21 professional fights, Yafai previously held the Commonwealth and British super-flyweight belts and also won a silver medal at the 2010 European Championships during his amateur career.

Frances Cappuccini, 30, suffered a fatal haemorrhage at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Kent on 9 October 2012. A doctor and the NHS hospital trust were cleared of manslaughter in January 2016. Her husband Tom told the inquest she pleaded with medics to save her life. Mr Cappuccini said she told him: "If anything happens, just make sure you look after the boys." He said she was "tearful, agitated and anxious" and had been terrified for months because of the difficult birth of their first son. The inquest at Gravesend Old Town Hall was told Mrs Cappuccini endured a 12-hour labour despite telling hospital staff she had booked a Caesarean section. The coroner heard that a piece of placenta had been left in her uterus which led to a large loss of blood. The family's lawyer suggested the error might not have been made if her choice had been followed. The inquest is expected to last 10 days.

A mother died after an emergency Caesarean section, having been refused an elective operation hours earlier, an inquest has been told.

From ancient times to the present day, security, codes and puzzles have been intertwined, as have the people who have tried to crack those codes to read messages they were never meant to see. During World War Two, the code-cracking centre at Bletchley Park was known to recruit people who were a dab hand at solving crosswords and other puzzles. The thinking was that success at those challenges demonstrated an ability that could aid attempts to crack German codes and ciphers. In the modern day, the ability to work through a problem and decipher it is essential to anyone who works in cybersecurity, partly because a lot of what they do involves working out what is going on with less than perfect knowledge. The puzzles below have been drawn up with the help of the team behind the UK's Cyber Security Challenge, which uses similar tests to find people who are good at problem solving who could be of use for attacking and defending computer networks. They range in difficulty from simple to knotty and fiendish. We will let you know the answers next week. Good luck. This first puzzle is pretty straightforward. You even get the key. Use it to decipher the questions and then choose the right answer. This time there is no key to help decipher this short string of numbers, so it is a bit harder. However, here is a hint - once deciphered the string will reveal the name of a famous maths code that uses numbers. 5 8 1 14 13 0 2 2 8 18 4 16 20 4 13 2 4 Code-breaking was practiced in Roman times: Julius Caesar was known to use a code to securely send messages to his armies. This message uses a type of cipher named after the Emperor to conceal its meaning. When you crack it you will find out where he kept his armies. X S K L V V O H H Y L E V Now the puzzles get more tricky. This code does not use numbers and letters to hide what it says. Instead, it swaps those familiar characters for symbols. Once cracked, the following message reveals who famously made use of this type of enciphering and the name of the technique. Here is a hint: it requires a code that shares its name with a place where a smelly farm animal is kept. Challenge Five This one is a real step up in difficulty. It can probably be done by trial and error, but it will be quicker to work out the rules governing the substitution and apply them. The key to cracking the message is elementary and you may find it easier to sit at a table rather than a desk to crack it. Breaking the cipher will reveal a question. The solution is the answer to that question. 81, 1, 68, 59, 68, 86, 53, 76, 105, 53, 24, 22, 89, 5, 57, 68, 77, 50, 89, 81, 85, 4, 113, 71, 95, 86, 47, 44, 45, 33, 11, 64, 99, 12, 63, 10, 73, 8, 87, 52, 67, 68, 24, 72, 63, 25, 77, 6, 13, 3, 68, 57, 63, 101, 99, 60, 43, 14, 76, 88, 64, 47, 7, 53, 50, 99, 66, 76, 60, 22, 1, 99, 5, 47, 62, 53, 106, 8, 9, 81, 2, 68, 53, 75, 89, 52, 8, 25, 77, 27, 28, 113, 42, 4, 63, 75, 34, 63, 71, 63, 27, 52, 88, 76, 11, 17, 8, 11, 26, 77, 32, 113, 45, 13, 52, 77, 76, 11, 14, 13, 11, 66, 44, 63, 6, 114, 44, 37, 77, 7, 31, 6, 67, 63, 42, 77, 17, 13, 57, 84, 45, 8, 15, 63, 86, 43, 77, 68, 62, 74, 68, 23, 63, 92, 14, 68, 66, 53, 22, 52, 8, 24, 44, 68, 13, 81, 63, 18, 17, 53, 46, 72, 68, 44, 83, 39, 92, 62, 77, 28, 31, 52, 67, 63, 53, 28, 77, 43, 53, 13, 3, 3, 68, 65, 43, 63, 45, 34, 8, 26, 73, 67, 63, 68, 3, 63, 42, 68, 60, 65, 21, 4, 92, 73, 52, 74, 8, 57, 68, 65, 43, 63, 44, 38, 20, 13, 10, 52, 5, 63, 92, 50, 68, 66, 74, 67, 13, 81, 33, 75, 68, 81, 80, 63, 70? Good work if you have got this far. This final challenging set of puzzles has three parts; when each one is completed it will reveal a quote from a well-known work of literature, whose author loved intellectual games of all kinds. Can you find all three? Bear in mind while you are working on these that each puzzle is not necessarily just a cipher - there are some computer science basics mixed in. Each one is designed to be solved independently so if one of the puzzles defeats you then move on. Here's one final clue: Alice fell down a rabbit hole and left clues so Bob could find her... The BBC would like to thank Bryony Chinnery and the UK's Cyber Security Challenge for helping to draw up this set of coding challenges.

If you want to stop people reading your secret messages, use a code to conceal the meaning.

Barca, who beat Celtic 7-0 in their opening Group C game, trailed to Thorgan Hazard's opener in Germany. Substitute Arda Turan fired in the equaliser before Gerard Pique bundled in the winner for the Spanish side. Elsewhere, Paris St-Germain were 3-1 winners at Ludogorets and Napoli beat Benfica 4-2. Luis Enrique had to come up with a rare solution to the problem of Lionel Messi's absence, with the Argentine striker missing with a groin injury. His initial solution was to start Spain international Paco Alcacer in Messi's place, alongside Neymar and Luis Suarez in a front three. The home side were not overawed, though, and took the game to the visitors, opening the scoring through Hazard's poked finish following Mahmoud Dahoud's pass. If Enrique's initial tactics were misjudged, he made amends in the second half, sending on Turan, who made an immediate impact with a drilled finish after latching on to Neymar's floated pass over the top. Pique completed the turnaround nine minutes later, finding the net from close range after Suarez's shot had been blocked. The 3-3 draw between Celtic and Manchester City means Barca top Group C, two points ahead of Pep Guardiola's side, who they host at the Nou Camp in three weeks. Like Barcelona, Paris St-Germain got off to a bad start in their away game against Bulgarian side Ludogorets Razgrad with a Natanael curled free-kick giving the home side the lead after 16 minutes. PSG, who drew their opening game at home against Arsenal, were struggling to get into the game until Marco Verratti unlocked the home defence with a neat pass to set up Blaise Matuidi to level just before the break. The French side were much better in the second half and claimed victory thanks to an Edinson Cavani double - the first a flicked header from Angel di Maria's free-kick, the second a close-range finish from Lucas' cross. PSG are level on four points with Arsenal, who were 2-0 winners over Basel on Wednesday. Arkadiusz Milik scored his third Champions League goal and Dries Mertens hit two as Napoli established themselves as firm favourites to progress to the last 16 with a comfortable victory over Benfica. Captain Marek Hamsik gave the Italian side the lead in the first half, glancing a header in from a corner. A three-goal burst in the second half ended the game as a contest as Mertens fired home a free-kick and then finished from close range, either side of Milik's converted penalty for a foul on Jose Callejon by the visiting goalkeeper. Goncalo Guedes scored a brilliant goal for the Portuguese side before Salvio added a second consolation goal with a neat finish but they were no match for last season's Serie A runners-up. In Group B's other game, Viktor Tsygankov earned Dynamo Kiev a point at Besiktas, who had taken the lead through Ricardo Quaresma. A train travelling from Penzance to Exeter collided with another train on platform six just after 15.30 BST on 3 April. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch initial findings found the signaller believed there was enough space for both trains on the platform. About 35 people were injured. Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages The report said: "Allowing trains to share a platform is known as permissive working, and is allowed for passenger trains using platform six. "The signaller could see the rear of the train from the signal box window and estimated there was enough room for the moving train to fit on the platform. This was not the case." One of the trains was moved to platform six due to passenger lifts being closed for maintenance on alternative platforms, the report said. While approaching Plymouth, the moving train accelerated to about 21 mph and went through a relatively tight, left-hand curve. That is when the driver saw the rear of the stationary train on platform six and was surprised to see it so close to the west end of the platform. The investigation report said: "He looked at the tracks to confirm which route the train was taking and, realising a collision was imminent, applied the emergency brake. "This was around three seconds before the collision, which occurred at about 15 mph. "Many passengers were standing in preparation to leave the train and were thrown into the train's fixtures and onto the floor. Martin Wheatley, chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, said he expected con-artists to strike when the reforms were still new. "Scams and fraud, we know, tend to proliferate at the moment of maximum uncertainty," he said in a speech. New rules, making it easier to access pension pots, take effect on 6 April. Those aged 55 and over will be able to spend their defined contribution pension savings as they wish, unless they have already bought an annuity, or retirement income. Previous pension fraud has centred on persuading people to "liberate" their pensions before the age of 55, and Mr Wheatley said this was likely to continue. "A particular risk, given that many of those approaching retirement today will - unlike their parents' generation - be carrying debts with them," he said. However, criminals have already started to bombard people aged 55 and over who are approaching retirement with phone calls and text messages ahead of the April changes. Pensions analysts last week warned that the pension changes could prompt an "open season" for fraudsters. The government's own guidance service is called Pension Wise. The case follows secret filming by the BBC's Panorama TV programme at the Castlebeck-owned Winterbourne View hospital near Hambrook. Wayne Rogers, 31, and Allison Dove, 24, both of Kingswood, admitted to nine and seven charges each and Holly Draper, 23, pleaded guilty to two charges. The programme showed patients allegedly being physically and verbally abused. Both Rogers and Dove pleaded not guilty to one charge each under the Mental Capacity Act, which was accepted by the Crown with the charges resting on file. The court heard the offences were committed between February and March 2011. Judge Michael Longman released all three on bail to await sentencing at a later date. At the same hearing, Michael Ezenagu, 28, of Malabar Court, India Way, London, pleaded not guilty to three counts of ill-treatment. Neil Ferguson, 27, of Emersons Green, Bristol, pleaded not guilty to one count of ill-treatment. No pleas were entered by Graham Doyle, 25, from Patchway, Jason Gardiner, 42, of Bristol, Charlotte Cotterell, 21, from Yate, Kelvin Fore, 33, of Middlesbrough, Sookalingum Appoo, 58, of Bristol and Danny Brake, 27 of Bristol. They will have their cases dealt with on 16 March. Twenty-four patients were transferred from Winterbourne View following the investigation and the home was closed last June. A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said a further three people who were arrested during the investigation will not face charges. Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe told the Home Affairs Select Committee he had no reason to apologise to the peer, 92. The police investigation was criticised after Lord Bramall was told he would face no action nearly nine months after he was interviewed under caution. Lord Bramall had denied the claims. The former head of the Army was interviewed under caution by police on 30 April 2015 but the case was dropped by the Met, which said last month that there was insufficient evidence to investigate further or bring charges. Sir Bernard told MPs that suspects such as Lord Bramall had to wait to be told about the outcome of his case until the police and Crown Prosecution Service had completed their work. He also defended the decision to send 22 officers to search Lord Bramall's home during the investigation into the abuse allegations. Sir Bernard expressed "regret" for the effect of the inquiry on Lord Bramall but repeatedly refused to apologise at the parliamentary committee. During one exchange, Conservative MP Tim Loughton referred to a "media circus" surrounding the case. Sir Bernard said: "Ah the media circus. If what you mean is that you want me to be bullied into apologising then that won't happen." Mr Loughton replied: "So you think you're being bullied, do you?" Sir Bernard said: "I'm asking you whether that's what you think." Lord Bramall, a Normandy veteran who retired from the House of Lords in 2013, previously told the BBC there was not "one grain of truth" in the allegations, made against him by a man in his 40s. Lord Bramall served during the D-Day landings during World War Two and commanded UK land forces between 1976 and 1978. The peer became chief of the general staff - the professional head of the Army - in 1979, and in 1982 he oversaw the Falklands campaign. Later that year he became chief of the defence staff - the most senior officer commanding the UK's armed forces. Careers, children and normal lives have been put on hold to enable Samantha Cameron, Justine Miliband and Miriam Gonzalez Durantez to hit the campaign trail to help their men secure the keys to Number 10. But does their presence at key events - like the launch of a manifesto - or meeting candidates in marginal seats really work? After all, why does it matter if the PM holds his wife's hand? Or that Ed and Justine have two kitchens? Or that Miriam decided refused to move into a grace and favour property? Why do we care? According to Joe Twyman, Head of Political and Social Research at pollsters YouGov, the partners of our leading politicians are there to make their other halves "look normal" to us, the voters. And carrying out media interviews with them in a place we can all relate to - like the kitchen - only re-emphasises those "normal" credentials. "All leaders are seen - to a lesser or greater extent - as slightly abnormal," he said. "Wives help, in all cases, make their husbands seem more like us." "So it's to do with 'I have a wife - you have a wife'. 'I have a kitchen with a wife - you have a kitchen with a wife'. 'This is the way this politician lives.' "Yes, these are all contrived photo opportunities, but the kitchen is about families - they wouldn't want us to see them in their dining room or drawing room," he said. "Regardless of how big or small your house or mansion is, we can all relate to a time when the family met in the kitchen. You/Gov 1-2 April 2015 Sample: 1583 GB adults, including don't knows and would not vote "Basically, it's a cost benefit analysis. Does the benefit of bringing out your wife outweigh the cost? These wives are very successful at what they do, so the parties consider them an asset. Secondly, the campaign is much closer than before and the results aren't certain, so they will want to get every possible advantage they can. "The three men leaders are seen as professional politicians who are out of touch with society - they want to come across as normal and trustworthy. Bringing in the family, and seeing them with their wives, feeds into that." And it would seem, for Samantha Cameron at least, her appearances and recent interviews - including how she believes, unsurprisingly, that her husband "is definitely for my mind the best man for the job" - have worked in her favour. A poll conducted by YouGov suggests 71% believe Sam Cam is the best election asset for her party, compared with 19% for Mr Miliband's wife Justine and 10% for Miriam, Mr Clegg's wife. At 74%, Mrs Cameron is particularly popular among 25-39-year-olds, according to the survey, and men (74%) compared with women (68%). So why haven't we been introduced to the partners of the smaller party leaders? Twyman believes it's because Natalie Bennett (Greens) and Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru) are not well known. "They need to build up their profiles first," he said. "Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) is better known in Scotland, but she's not well known nationally. They don't want any stories talking about their husbands when the stories could be talking about them." And, according to Laurence Stellings, opinion pollster at Populus, the smaller parties still have a novelty value that is lacking in their bigger counterparts. "When you've been around five years, people think they've heard everything you've got to say, so putting the focus on your wife is a welcome distraction," he said. "If you're a small party, you have got something new and exciting to talk about. You don't need to talk about your partner - they can be your secret weapon later, once you're well known." But what about UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Do the same "rules" apply to him? Why is his wife kept behind the scenes? Twyman suggests that, if he was being cynical, it might be because she is German "which isn't exactly on message for UKIP". But he adds that might be doing Mr Farage a disservice "and he may be trying to protect his wife's privacy". Philip Cowley, professor of parliamentary government at the University of Nottingham, co-author of The British General Election of 2010 and co-editor of Sex, Lies and the Ballot Box , says there has always been a tradition of leader's spouses accompanying them on big occasions. But he claims the growth in media outlets, particularly online, has fuelled demand for a more personal focus on leaders and their families. "There was definitely less coverage of elections in the past," said Cowley. "The BBC would've done radio programmes and TV broadcasts on the election, but they wouldn't have had space for any left-field questions about politicians' wives, even though many of them were fairly well known at the time. "For instance, (Labour PM 1945 to 1951) Clement Attlee's wife Violet used to drive him around during election campaigns," said Cowley. "They would stop on the roadside to have their sandwiches with their detective before going on to the next event. "Harold Wilson (Labour PM 1964 to 1970 and 1974 to 1976) did some photo calls with his wife, Mary, even though she loathed politics - while Denis Healey's wife Edna and (Labour PM 1976-79) James Callaghan's wife Audrey were often present with them in the 70s. And of course Denis stuck with Margaret Thatcher, although he played a more low key role than the current leaders' partners. "But the fact is we just don't know what effect partners/wives/husbands have." The evidence suggests that being single is not a bar to being elected - Edward Heath was single and elected Conservative PM from 1970 to 1974. Times have changed, and there have now been four decades without an unmarried person leading one of the two largest parties at Westminster. Indeed the party leaders spend considerable effort trying to give us the impression that they are everyday people who have families, kitchens and lives like ours. Back to Mr Cowley: "The one thing I learnt when I was a schoolboy doing O-level film studies was that nothing in films happens by accident. "It happens because the director has decided it's going to happen - in politics it's the same. If a leader's wife appears on stage - it's because someone has decided that would be a good move electorally. It doesn't mean the wife wants to do it, but that someone has decided it could make a difference." Here is the family's statement in full. Charles's family would first like to thank the public and politicians who have been so warm in their tributes to him and so sincere in their concern for us. We have been touched beyond measure by the outpouring of warmth for a man whose loss we will feel deeply forever. The pain we feel has been at least eased somewhat by the reaction of so many people across Scotland, the UK and beyond, and by the affection expressed by politicians across the spectrum. It has become all too apparent to us how much Charles meant to so many people and how many lives he touched. We were grateful that his young son Donald was able to attend the Commons session where so many MPs spoke so warmly about his father. The words and images of that day, and of so many other tributes, will be there for us to look back on with pride in Charles, and Donald will always know what a special father he had. We would also like to thank all the public authorities and emergency services who have dealt with the aftermath of Charles's death with such courtesy, kindness and efficiency. We have now been informed by the office of the procurator fiscal of the findings of the post-mortem. Charles's death was caused by a major haemorrhage and the report makes clear this was a consequence of his battle with alcoholism. We are grateful to the many friends and also medical experts who sought to help down the years but ultimately this was an illness Charles could not conquer despite all the efforts he and others made. We can now proceed to make arrangements for his funeral and we will make an announcement on the details in due course. Israeli officials said the move - at the start of the holy month of Ramadan - came after an agreement to allow two family visits per month, not just one. The action was led by Marwan Barghouti, a Palestinian leader jailed by Israel for life for five murders. Barghouti has been touted as a possible future successor to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Some 1,187 detainees observed the strike, according to Israel's prison service. It began on 17 April, the annual Palestinian Prisoners Day, when Palestinians remember detained friends and relatives. The issue of Palestinians held in Israeli jails is an ongoing source of tension between the two sides. Palestinians regard the detainees as political prisoners. Many have been convicted of attacks against Israelis and other offences. Others are detained under so-called Administrative Detention, which allows suspects to be held without charge for six-month intervals. There were about 7,000 Palestinians held in Israeli jails by the end of last year, according to Palestinian prisoners' groups. The High Court ruled last week that MPs must vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the EU. The UK government immediately said it would appeal to the Supreme Court, with a hearing due next month. The Lord Advocate, Scotland's most senior law officer, will now apply to be heard in the case. A spokeswoman for the UK government's Department for Exiting the European Union said it would be for the courts to decide whether the intervention was granted, but insisted it was "determined to deliver a deal that works for the whole of the UK". Prime Minister Theresa May argues that the result of the EU referendum - and existing ministerial powers - means MPs do not need to vote on the triggering of Article 50. But a panel of three High Court judges agreed with campaigners that the move would be unconstitutional, and that parliament would need to vote before the formal process of leaving the EU can begin. Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, believes that the consent of the Scottish Parliament and the UK's other devolved parliaments and assemblies should also be sought before Article 50 is triggered. The Scottish government had legal representatives observing the High Court case, and later said it was considering whether to become directly involved when the appeal is heard. Confirming that it would seek to intervene, Ms Sturgeon said she believed Scotland should be treated as an "equal partner" in the United Kingdom. If the Supreme Court was to allow the Scottish government's intervention and ruled against the UK government, it could mean there would have to be a vote on Article 50 in Holyrood as well as in Westminster. The Welsh government has also said it will seek a role in the Brexit appeal case, while the Northern Ireland Attorney General has told a court in Belfast that one of two legal challenges to Brexit should be fast-tracked directly to the Supreme Court. Ms Sturgeon stressed that she was not attempting to veto the process of England and Wales leaving the EU. But she said the "democratic wishes of the people of Scotland and the national parliament of Scotland cannot be brushed aside as if they do not matter". Scotland voted to remain in the EU by 62% to 38% in June's referendum, while the UK as a whole voted by 52% to 48% to leave. Ms Sturgeon has pledged to do all she can to protect Scotland's place in Europe, and to maintain its membership of the single market. By BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith As if Theresa May didn't have enough on her plate following last week's High Court ruling forcing the government to give MPs a say before Brexit is triggered, now the Scottish government has piled in. In effect it has said if MPs are going to be given a say, the Scottish Parliament should also have to give its approval. The difficulty for Mrs May is that she knows the Scottish Parliament is overwhelmingly opposed to Brexit and her fear will be that Nicola Sturgeon is in effect threatening to blow Brexit out of the water. Scotland's first minister insists she is not playing the veto card. She respects the right of the rest of the UK to leave the EU, but wants to protect the interests of Scotland which voted against Brexit. It may be she is simply trying to increase her leverage over Theresa May to try and secure a particular Brexit deal for Scotland - something Mrs May has already ruled out. But there is another problem and it is on delay - the danger that Brexit gets snarled up in the courts. We have already had the High Court ruling - the Supreme Court will decide on the appeal in January - and now Scottish lawyers are piling in and the danger is the timetable of triggering Brexit by March gets put through the legal shredder. The first minister said: "The Scottish government is clear that triggering Article 50 will directly affect devolved interests and rights in Scotland. "And triggering Article 50 will inevitably deprive Scottish people and Scottish businesses of rights and freedoms which they currently enjoy. "It simply cannot be right that those rights can be removed by the UK government on the say-so of a prime minister without parliamentary debate, scrutiny or consent." She also urged the prime minister to "live up to her promise to treat Scotland as an equal partner in the United Kingdom and listen to the will of the people of Scotland". Answering questions from journalists, the first minister was pressed on the basis on which the Scottish government will seek to involve itself in the case. She said: "If there is a need for legislation in the House of Commons that raises the question of legislative consent, not just in the Scottish Parliament but in Wales and Northern Ireland as well. "If that is going to be an issue that the court is looking at... then it is absolutely right that the Scottish government is formally represented to make sure that the views that we would take around these processes are heard by the court." The first minister said she would not go into the detail of what the Lord Advocate will argue, but made it clear she personally believes the UK government should seek approval for triggering Article 50 through a legislative consent motion at Holyrood. She also said she believes there are those both in the Welsh and Northern Irish governments who would take a similar view about their own parliaments. Ms Sturgeon is due to unveil proposals for a "flexible Brexit" - which would see Scotland remain in the single market even if the rest of the UK leaves - in the coming weeks. The Supreme Court has set aside four days, from 5 until 8 December, for the appeal hearing, which will see all 11 Supreme Court justices sit on the panel. Judgment will be reserved at the conclusion of that hearing and follow at a later date, probably in the New Year. All five parties in the Scottish Parliament backed remaining in the EU ahead of the referendum, but the Scottish Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats have warned Ms Sturgeon against using the result to push for a second vote on Scottish independence. Scottish Labour said it supported the objective of getting the "best possible deal for Scotland", which it said meant "remaining part of the UK and retaining a close Scottish Greens MSP Ross Greer said it was "reasonable that MSPs who represent the people of Scotland are consulted before any steps are taken to remove us from Europe against our wishes." And Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie called on the prime minister to "end all this and simply accept that there must be a democratic vote before Article 50 is invoked". Billy Paynter gave the visitors the lead after the break when he converted Jake Carroll's cross at the back post. Nathan Thomas made it 2-0 when he drifted in from the right and drilled a low shot past Alex Cisak. The O's, beaten twice over the Easter holiday, tried to get back into it, but visiting keeper Trevor Carson denied Jay Simpson and Blair Turgott. They remain eighth in League Two, two points outside the play-off places, while Hartlepool's win moved them up to 17th. Ryan Ellis, 30, made no plea and was remanded in custody. It followed an incident in which two brothers from Aberdeen were said to have been stabbed in Wardieburn Street West in the Pilton area of the capital on 8 April. The men told police they had travelled from Aberdeen to buy a car. Bradley Frail, 16, made no plea last week in connection with the same case. He was also charged with attempted murder. "We are going to continue engaging Wada to ensure that Kenya reaches compliance status," said Hassan Wario. On Thursday, global athletics chief Lord Coe said he was prepared to ban Kenya from the 2016 Olympics. The country has already missed a deadline to provide assurances to Wada. That led to it being placed on a 'watch-list' of nations at risk of breaching the agency's code and prompted the comments by IAAF president Lord Coe. Kenya is a dominant nation in distance running - topping the medal table at the 2015 World Athletics Championships - but has seen more than 40 of its athletes fail drug tests since 2011. Wario says Kenya has taken the following steps to combat its doping problem: In 2013-14 there were 75 girls and three boys admitted for care, aged between 13 and 19-years-old. The number being treated was up 8% on the previous year - and represents an average increase in admissions of 36% over a decade. The Welsh government said new "community intensive" treatment teams would help tackle the problem. Campaign group, Cwtched, which is calling for a specialist eating disorder unit to be established in Wales, says current support and treatment is patchy. "As far as provision is concerned, I think you would find that it's in pockets, [dependant on] wherever you are living. A post code lottery, if you like," said Cwtched's Sian Pierce. Former anorexia patient, Keira Marlow, 23, from Brecon, Powys, said teenagers can be particularly at risk, especially girls - who make up over 90% of the cases referred to hospital. "I think you can be quite vulnerable to it because of all the pressure you are under - handling school and dealing with growing up and dealing with all of the changes that are happening," she said. Eating disorder charity Beat said the "great lack" of information about instances of the eating disorders meant it was impossible to be sure of the size of any actual increase in cases. It said the latest figures could reflect "better and swifter diagnosis by GPs" and other parts of health and social services. Case study: 'It was so wrong' Keira Marlow, 23, from Brecon, Powys, was admitted to a general psychiatric hospital following her anorexia diagnosis at 17. She said: "It was just so wrong. I was the youngest person there. Nobody else there had an eating disorder. Everyone else had a serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. "Even the nurses said they had never seen someone with an eating disorder before. I just ate to get out." The Welsh government said it had invested in improving treatment provision, with community treatment for those over 18 receiving £1m a year. Since 2013, an extra £250,000 a year has also been made available to improve treatment for children and young people. "The extra funding has enabled the recruitment of specialist staff, improved training for existing staff, created extra outpatient clinics and the increased the availability of high care beds in Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services," a government spokesperson said. "From this month community intensive treatment teams will be available across Wales, meaning many more young people with eating disorders and other disorders can be cared for in their community without need for hospital admission." The veteran actor, whose films include Dracula, The Wicker Man and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, died on Sunday morning at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, according to reports. The decision to release the news days later was based on his wife's desire to inform family members first. The couple had been married for more than 50 years. Here are some of his career highlights in pictures. "Initially, I was told I was too tall to be an actor," Sir Christopher told Total Film in 2013. "I thought, 'Right, I'll show you.'" After an uncredited debut in Laurence Olivier's film version of Hamlet, he spent 10 years as a bit-part player, before signing a contract with horror studio Hammer. His first film for Hammer was The Curse of Frankenstein, in which he played the monster opposite Peter Cushing as Frankenstein. The duo went on to make more than 20 films together. The actor made his first appearance as a vampire in 1958's Horror of Dracula. He went on to play Dracula nine times - although he disliked being linked with the role in later life. Sir Christopher had no lines in 1965's Dracula: Prince of Darkness. A popular myth suggests the written dialogue was so bad that the star chose to hiss instead of saying his lines. However, internal memos showed his agreement to record a TV trailer for the production - which also had extremely poor lines - suggesting that the decision to play the part silent had been taken by the director. Sir Christopher's first two Dracula films were banned in Australia, but the third - Dracula Has Risen From The Grave - passed after receiving several cuts. It ran for a three-week season at Sydney's Capitol theatre in January 1970. But the star was not restricted to vampirical roles, playing the title character in 1966's Rasputin, the Mad Monk. Hammer was very nervous of the film, aware that MGM had been sued in 1933 by Princess Irina Romanoff Yusupov, who claimed a previous film about Rasputin had invaded her privacy by erroneously portraying her as his mistress. As such, the Hammer film came with the disclaimer: "This is an entertainment, not a documentary. No attempt has been made at historical accuracy... all the characters and incidents may be regarded as fictitious." The actor also starred as the criminal fiend Fu Manchu in a series of 1960s films, starting with The Face of Fu Manchu. A distant cousin and golfing partner of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, Sir Christopher was in the frame to play Doctor No in the first Bond movie. Joseph Wiseman eventually won the part, but Sir Christopher later appeared opposite Roger Moore's 007 in 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun. Cult thriller The Wicker Man, about pagan worshipers on a remote Scottish island, was the actor's personal favourite from his filmography - although he disliked the cut released to cinemas in 1973. "It was shown in a butchered form," he said. "Even the DVD is butchered. What happened to that film, I still don't know. The negative disappeared from that day to this." A restored version, reinstating most of the original footage, was released in 2013. In a career essaying villains, possibly his most comedic turn came in Gremlins 2 - where he played the unfortunately named Doctor Catheter. Director Joe Dante said: "The idea of the Christopher Lee character being a geneticist came in because [special effects artist] Rick Baker didn't want to do the movie unless he could design new gremlins. So how are we going to get new gremlins? Well, we'll have a character who can create them, this mad-scientist geneticist." In the 21st Century, the actor appeared as Saruman in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and in the director's two Hobbit films, as well as playing Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequels. "This last decade has been the most extraordinary decade of my life," he said in a 2012 interview. Knighted in 2009, Sir Christopher was given the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) fellowship in 2011. He was presented with the award by Tim Burton, with whom he made four films: Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows (he also narrated the poem that became The Nightmare Before Christmas). Accepting the award, he said: "There was a newspaper this morning that said I was going to cry - something I don't often do, in films at any rate. "But it's a very emotional moment for me. I'm thankful that I don't follow in the steps of the great Stanley Kubrick, whose award was posthumous." Still active into his 90s, he recorded several heavy metal albums and, in 2012, attended the premiere of James Bond film Skyfall, along with his wife, Brigit. He said the secret to having a 50-year marriage was simple. "Marry someone wonderful." First-half goals by Jesus Corona and Raul Jimenez and Carlos Vela's tap-in after the break secured the 3-1 win. Substitute Stephen Gleeson's strike 13 minutes from time was some consolation for Martin O'Neill's men. The Irish host Uruguay in a friendly on Sunday before a World Cup qualifier at home to Austria on 11 June. Brighton defender Shane Duffy got a first taste of action since he suffered a fractured metatarsal on 4 March, with O'Neill desperate for him to get minutes under his belt ahead of Austria's visit to the Aviva Stadium Strikers Daryl Murphy and David McGoldrick were also handed chances to stake a claim. But it was goalkeeper Darren Randolph, who lost his place at West Ham towards the end of the Premier League season, who was given ample opportunity to regain match sharpness as Mexico started strongly. Corona curled a third-minute shot wide of the far post and then steered another off target from Vela's pull-back eight minutes later. The opener came from a Mexico break after a Republic corner, Jorge Hernandez feeding the ball to Corona, who slipped past Daryl Horgan and Richard Keogh before firing home. O'Neill's men were being overrun in midfield and were undone again with 25 minutes gone when Hernandez floated the ball over the top to former Arsenal striker Vela, who was barged to the ground by James McClean, the Republic skipper on his 50th appearance. Jimenez converted the resulting penalty with a casual efficiency to put Mexico 2-0 ahead. Duffy had a 44th-minute strike ruled out for offside after Conor Hourihane's earlier effort had been deflected out for a corner. O'Neill resisted the temptation to change either personnel or system at the break but his hopes of a fightback were dashed within nine minutes of the restart after Callum O'Dowda could only deflect Jimenez's pass into the path of substitute Oribe Peralta. His shot was well saved by Randolph but the rebound fell to Peralta who squared unselfishly for Vela to tap home. Defender Kevin Long was handed a senior debut when O'Neill made a 64th-minute triple substitution but it was Gleeson who made the telling impact from the bench when he steered home from close range after Oswaldo Alanis stabbed McClean's cross straight to him. Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill: "First of all, I was delighted with the game. Secondly, quite a number of players have not played football for quite a considerable amount of time. "In terms of our preparation for the main game against Austria, I thought it was excellent. Mexico were very good, they were good on the ball as befits a side like that. "I thought it was a great work-out, a great exercise for us. "It really is a fantastic stadium and the noise in terms of atmosphere and occasion was very good. But I would have liked us to have played better." Match ends, Mexico 3, Republic of Ireland 1. Second Half ends, Mexico 3, Republic of Ireland 1. Attempt missed.

People start mourning their products, their cafes, and even their easily accessible toilets. Many already assume that the eclectic mix of goods in BHS will be added to the nostalgia list, along with pick 'n mixes from Woolies, videos from Blockbuster and books from Borders But alongside the closures, there's another story happening. It's just nobody is shouting about it. Spending the day in Shrewsbury for BBC 5Live, I discovered that plenty of stores who went into administration are coming out the other side. Malcolm Winn works in the outdoor shop Blacks, and there's one question he's fed-up with people asking him: "People are always coming into the store and asking when we're closing. It's frustrating to keep having to explain to people that we've been bought, we're doing well, and we're here for the long-term." On Christmas Eve 2011 it was a different story. The company couldn't pay its debts and its staff so Blacks Leisure Group entered administration. For Malcolm that was an incredibly difficult time: "It's very tough, not knowing if you've got a job in a week or a month's time. It's tough personally and also for your team - people who you consider to be friends. It's just the not knowing. But thankfully for us somebody did come along and purchase the company and here we are today." That 'somebody' was JD Sports. It spotted something good in Blacks despite all the financial problems. Lee Bagnall who's in charge of the Outdoor division at JD told me: "We knew that we could put a proposition together that customers would like. "What we have done is reduce our cost base because we've used the JD muscle, and that's made us as an outdoor division a bit more nimble. We've been able to deliver the product to the customer that they want at the prices that they want to pay." Along the main shopping streets in Shrewsbury there are lots of names we've heard in the headlines, but they are still trading. There used to be three Clintons card shops in this town, now there's just the one, but it's still here. There's an HMV, and a Game shop. On the second floor of the Pride Hill shopping centre there are lots of strange noises coming from the Hawkin's Bazaar shop. Its story is one of the most dramatic. There used to be nearly 130 stores and wholesale businesses, selling cheap gifts, before they went into administration. After the company came out of administration in January 2012, there were just eight. The existing management bought the company back from the administrators, and its new chief executive David Mordecai said they had learnt lots of lessons. It ended up stocking much more expensive products to boost the amount of money they made from each customer. "We included stuff like scalextrics and Hornby and drones", he told the BBC. "At the end of the day you need to stock what the consumers want. The idea was to stock some higher priced items to allow us not to worry so much about how many people were on the high street." Administration was a painful way to learn that lesson, but now they have more than 30 stores. Small steps, but definitely growth. Nobody is saying going through administration is easy, as anyone working at BHS will be able to tell you. Malcolm Winn from Blacks understands how those 11,000 staff at BHS are feeling right now, and he has a positive message for them: "Be optimistic. It happened for us. Lots of companies are interested in BHS, so hopefully it'll happen to you too." The 17-year-old boy was bitten on the hand by an Inland Taipan snake, which usually lives in desert areas. The boy is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after being given anti-venom. A drop of Inland Taipan venom is enough to kill 100 people and causes paralysis. The snake is also more commonly known as the fierce snake, because of the venom's strength rather than the reptile's temperament. "Police are now attempting to establish how the youth came to be bitten, and hope to speak to the young man once he is considered well enough," New South Wales police said in a statement. Officials at Mater hospital in Newcastle City, where the boy is being treated, said that the anti-venom was crucial to his survival. "We had anti-venom in stock, we keep what's called polyvalent anti-venom and that covers all of our snakes," toxicologist Geoff Isbister told ABC News. The Inland Taipan, described as shy and reclusive, can grow up to two metres long. It is usually found in Australia's Northern Territory and Queensland, hundreds of miles away from the town of Kurri Kurri, on the coast to the north of Sydney, where the incident happened on Wednesday. The police do not believe that the incident was related to a break-in at the nearby Hunter Valley Zoo on Sunday that saw the theft of four pythons and two alligators, the police statement added. Judith Martin, from Hunter Reptile Rescue service, which handled the snake, told the BBC that it would be sent to a reptile breeding programme. The Channel Island, which sends players to the Commonwealth Games, will have a representative side at April's European Team Championships in Slovenia. The island team will play in the third division of the tournament. "This is pretty impressive that we've managed to get a team in there and become a member of European and World Squash," the island's director of squash, Nick Taylor, told BBC Sport. Jersey decided to apply for international status after squash was not included as one of the sports for this summer's Island Games. Jersey is the having won 10 gold, six silver and three bronze medals in the three Island Games that have included squash. "The Island Games is amazing and if we did have the opportunity to compete at the Island Games we would certainly snatch their hands off because it is a fantastic event," said Taylor, who is a former British Open winner, European champion and world number 14. "It could be up to 10 years before we're competing at an Island Games again, so they need competition. "We've got hundreds of kids playing the sport in Jersey so we need something to inspire those youngsters as well." Taylor, along with his wife Sarah and Scott Gautier, in Glasgow. He is hopefully Jersey can replicate the success of their Channel Island neighbours Guernsey, who have produced world number ones such as Martine le Moignan and Lisa Opie, as well as current world number 23 Chris Simpson. "Being a small island it's very difficult to go to a Commonwealth Games and compete for medals," added Taylor. "It's so important that we are competing at those levels to inspire our younger players. "Guernsey have produced lots of high-quality squash players in the past, and we've got a world-class facility over here, but we need the events to inspire our young players. "I think we're doing that with our PSA event, now becoming part of the European and World Squash family, and hopefully Commonwealth Games going forward as well." Jersey squad for the European Team Championships: Nick Taylor, Scott Gautier, Ian Furness, Mark Le Roux, Sarah Taylor, Kate Cadigan, Beth Garton. Pimco said it had formed a five-strong group of "world-renowned experts on economic and political issues". The other members include former US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, and Jean-Claude Trichet, former president of the European Central Bank. A spokesman for Mr Brown said he was taking on "a minor advisory role" and would not financially benefit. The spokesman added: "Any money goes to the office of Gordon and Sarah Brown to support their charitable and public service work." The advisory board will meet several times a year. "The global advisory board is an unrivalled team of macroeconomic thinkers and former policymakers, whose insights into the intersection of policy and financial markets will be a valuable input to our investment process," Dan Ivascyn, Pimco's chief investment officer, said. The other members are Ng Kok Song, former chief investment officer of the Government of Singapore Investment Corp sovereign wealth fund from 2007 to 2013, and Anne-Marie Slaughter, a former US Department of State policy director. Pimco, which was bought by German asset manager Allianz in 2000, administers about $1.47 trillion of assets for its clients. This hiring flurry follows last year's departures of co-chief investment officers Bill Gross and Mohamed El-Erian. The consumer goods firm said its underlying first-quarter sales were up 2.8% and that full-year sales growth would be between 2% and 4%. Brewer SABMiller also performed well, adding 1.8%, although its sales volume was up only slightly. But overall, the FTSE 100 dipped, down 36.33 points or 0.51% to 7,060.45. Two of the top five biggest fallers lost ground as a result of going ex-dividend. Pearson was the worst performer, dropping just under 4% following troubles with one of its educational technology projects. Drinks group Diageo saw a 3.6% decline after reporting a 0.7% fall in sales over the three months to the end of March. Other falling shares included BAE Systems, which ended the day down 3.1%, while Intu Properties dropped 2.9%. The pound rose 0.53% against the dollar to $1.4906 and 0.06% against the euro to €1.3897. It includes a recommendation system that uses both human curators and computer algorithms to suggest songs. The service is set to challenge Spotify, Tidal and other music apps. Apple also revealed that the UK will be the first country to get its Apple Pay service outside of the US. "A lot of people in the industry see the launch of the music service as a big deal, and their hope is that this will help take subscription-based streaming mainstream," commented Chris Cooke, from the news site Complete Music Update. "But Spotify has an ad-supported free level to help sell its premium packages, which Apple doesn't, so it still has a unique selling point." Apple's service introduces the Beats 1 radio station, which will be hosted by ex-BBC DJ Zane Lowe among others. The app also works with Apple's voice-controlled virtual assistant Siri, allowing subscribers to ask it to play a song from a movie soundtrack or year without needing to know the track's name. Recommended playlists will be crafted by "music experts" to ensure the songs fit together, but algorithms will be used to direct users to different ones based on their listening histories and favourite artists. "Apple is arriving late to the music streaming business, due in part to Steve Jobs' refusal to believe that music subscription services would ever work," said James McQuivey from the Forrester consultancy. But, he added, that he believed it would catch up with market leader Spotify's 15 million paying subscribers in less than a year. Another analyst suggested Apple might face a challenge explaining all the features on offer. "Apple Music is a complex mix of services including music streaming, live radio, music discovery and social interaction with artists," said Geoff Blaber from CCS Insight. "It's too early to tell whether this is what users are waiting for but Apple's installed base, the three month free subscription and family bundle are huge levers that Apple's competitors will be wary of." Apple said the service would launch in more than 100 countries on 30 June, and would cost $9.99 (£6.50) per month in the US for one person - the same as Spotify - or $14.99 for families containing up to six people. Users do not need to pay to listen to Beats 1. The Music app will initially be restricted to iOS, Windows PCs and Mac computers, but will extend to Android phones and Apple TVs later in the year. Apple is also seeking to expand its digital wallet scheme. In the US, Apple Pay will add support for retailers' own payment and loyalty cards. And in the UK, people will be able to make payments by waving their iPhones or Apple Watches at contactless payment terminals from next month. The firm said the service would be offered at about 250,000 locations across the UK and would cover 70% of issued credit and debit cards. Take-up of Apple Pay has been limited since it launched in the US in October. A survey by the Reuters news agency recently indicated that less than a quarter of the US's leading retailers accepted the facility. That is partly because Wal-Mart and 18 other stores have teamed up to launch a rival scheme, and they have agreed not to support Apple's facility until 2016 at the earliest. One expert said that the tech firm should find it easier to attract support in the UK, where stores already used machines for their tap-and-go payment card transactions that would become compatible. "The equipment is already out there and Visa Europe has made the necessary infrastructure changes that pave the way for an Apple Pay rollout - it just hasn't flipped the switch yet," explained Chris Green from the Davies Murphy Group consultancy. "In the US there have been instances where retailers have been committed to specific payment handling service contracts that have prohibited them from being involved in Apple Pay as it would represent a breach of contract for them. "In contrast in the UK there aren't those types of roadblocks." Apple said that the pharmacy Boots, the coffee chain Costa, the supermarket Waitrose and the London transport network were among British organisations that would support Apple Pay. Barclays Bank was a notable omission from the list of lenders committed to the service. But Barclays has told the BBC it is in "constructive talks" with the US firm. Read more about how Apple Pay will work in the UK Earlier during its developers conference, Apple's software chief Craig Federighi revealed that the next version of the iOS mobile operating system would give a Siri a new look and make it more "proactive". This will include: "We do it in a way that does not compromise your privacy - we don't mine your email, your photos or your contacts in the cloud to learn things about you," said Mr Federighi, contrasting Apple's approach with Google's Android. "We honestly just don't want to know." He also announced iPads would gain "multitasking" in iOS9, allowing two apps to be run side-by-side. In addition, users will be able to watch streamed video in a resizable box that can be positioned above another program. The firm also confirmed that the next version of its Maps app would provide information about public transport in London and several other cities - something Google Maps has offered for years. It showed off a News app that brings together a personalised selection of content from different sources to provide an experience similar to Flipboard. And Mr Federighi raised one of the biggest applauses of the event when he revealed that Apple's Swift programming language was going open source - meaning its underlying code becomes accessible to everyone - as well as making it available to Linux-powered PCs. Apple also announced a new version of its Watch operating system that will allow third-party apps to run on its smartwatch natively. That should make the software launch and run more quickly, addressing a common complaint from early adopters of the wearable tech and developers alike. "Latency is a critical success factor for any new technology, including the Apple Watch, and vital to adoption rates," commented Stephanie Uhlig from Opodo, a travel booking service that offers a Watch app. "If service is slow, consumers will likely be inclined to rely on their existing devices. The delivery of enhancements required from Apple to improve speed and user experience will be crucial." Third-party apps will also gain access to the Watch's motion sensors, wrist tap facility and microphone. Mr Federighi also announced several new features that will appear in the next version of its Mac operating system, called OS X El Capitan. They include: The government had petitioned the constitutional court last year to ban the leftist Unified Progressive Party, which has five members in parliament. Some UPP members were previously arrested for plotting a rebellion. The move has sparked concern about freedom of expression and association in South Korea. The decision was closely watched by political groups, with hundreds gathered near the constitutional court in Seoul amid a tight security presence of about 1,000 riot police. Both UPP supporters and its opponents held demonstrations, shouting slogans and waving signs, reports said. It is the first time South Korea's constitutional court has banned a political party since it was established in 1988, said AP news agency. Eight out of nine judges agreed on Friday to accept the government's petition to disband the UPP, order it to forfeit its seats in parliament and ban an equivalent party from forming. Chief Judge Park Han-chul said "there was an urgent need to remove the threat posed by the party to the basic order of democracy". Ban 'raises questions' Justice Minister Hwan Kyo-ahn, making the government's final argument before the court last month, said the UPP has attempted to "establish a pro-communist government and unification to realise North Korean-style socialism". But the UPP has said it only wants greater reconciliation with the North. The government's petition was prompted by the arrest of several UPP members in 2013. Seven members were eventually convicted of plotting to overthrow the South Korean government in the event war broke out with the North. UPP's leader Lee Jung-hee told reporters on Friday that the decision "opened a dark age with an authoritarian decision" and had turned South Korea into a "dictatorial country". Amnesty International's East Asia research director Roseann Rife said the ban "raises serious questions as to the authorities' commitment to freedom of expression and association." "Security concerns must never be used as an excuse to deny people the right to express different political views," she said. Marcos Alonso scored a late winner for the Blues as Spurs started life at their temporary home with a disappointing defeat. Chelsea's new £60m striker Alvaro Morata missed an easy headed chance in the opening minutes before Alonso's perfectly delivered free-kick gave Antonio Conte's side the lead after 24 minutes. Spurs responded strongly with Harry Kane hitting the post and it looked like they had earned at least a point when substitute Michy Batshuayi headed Christian Eriksen's free-kick into his own net with eight minutes left, Chelsea cursing as Willian had also hit the upright. However, the Blues showed trademark strength of character to secure a morale-boosting win after 88 minutes when Alonso scored his second, with Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris guilty of a serious error in allowing the shot to go underneath his body. "We only have to think on the pitch and not to give answers to people," said Conte, whose team were reduced to nine men on the opening day and are without striker Diego Costa, who remains in Brazil. "This moment is not easy for us but I am very happy to have this group of players because they showed me great commitment, desire and will to improve after a great season. We only need to focus on the pitch, outside does not matter for us. "I want to thank my players - every one. I saw today the fighters. I'm very happy when I see this type of game. I'm not speaking about football, but this spirit, this heart, this desire." For Spurs, who did not lose a Premier League game at home during 2016-17, the result means they have now lost seven of their past 10 games at what will be their temporary home while awaiting completion of a new stadium at White Hart Lane. Chelsea went to Wembley supposedly in the depths of crisis following the opening-day home defeat by Burnley and with the saga over Costa's future being played out as a distracting backdrop. But there was little evidence of crisis here as the Blues dropped back into the old routine - hard-as-nails defensive resilience and that ruthless winners' streak that allowed them to snatch victory late on. And even manager Conte looked like he meant business once again, swapping the Chelsea tracksuit worn against Burnley for his trademark dark suit at Wembley. Chelsea rode their luck at times to stand firm in the face of a Spurs siege either side of half-time - but they retained ambition and it was a defender in Alonso who raced into the area to score the winner. Tiemoue Bakayoko had an impressive first start in midfield and the mental strength and character the champions possess was shown by their response to Batshuayi's freakish own goal equaliser. Chelsea's delight at the final whistle was obvious and understandable, Conte punching the air in front of the away section and shouting "come on" as the supporters chanted his name in celebration. This was just the result and performance Conte and Chelsea needed - and the triumph was even sweeter because it was inflicted on Spurs at their temporary new home, delivering a blow to a side who will regard themselves as rivals for the title this season. Media playback is not supported on this device Tottenham's move to Wembley for one season saw the famous old stadium draped in the club's livery and mottoes - as well as a drummer using a microphone to send out a booming beat at strategic intervals. It was all designed to make it feel like home and an attempt to continue their superb White Hart Lane form of last season, when they won 17 and drew two of their 19 league games. But this match had the kind of ending they did not experience on home turf during 2016-17. It was, however, a familiar feeling for them at Wembley - but talk of a curse is surely premature. Spurs played well for large portions of this game only to be thwarted by a poor final ball and the blue wall of defiance presented by Chelsea. It was not the start Tottenham wanted at their temporary home, but there is enough quality in Mauricio Pochettino's side to swiftly put this setback behind them. Media playback is not supported on this device Morata was given his first Chelsea start since his club record £60m move from Real Madrid, presumably with confidence high after scoring as a substitute during the home defeat by Burnley. This was a much tougher day for the 24-year-old Spain international as he understandably takes time to adjust to his new surroundings, ending in his substitution after 78 minutes. Morata looked off the pace, was often outmuscled and was guilty of a glaring miss inside the first five minutes that could have made life a lot easier for Chelsea. It seemed more difficult to miss the target than score as he arrived unmarked on to Cesar Azpilicueta's perfect cross just eight yards out. He slumped in despair as he headed the chance wide. Morata had few more opportunities to show his undoubted class and looked out on his feet when he was replaced by Batshuayi. The striker's undoubted pedigree will surface but this was all part of his Premier League education. He will have better days than this one. Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: "I am disappointed because we deserved more but they were very clinical with two shots on target and two goals. We dominated and we were better but if you are not clinical, you can lose like today. "We are one step ahead than last season. We were much better in every aspect of the game than Chelsea, they were just clinical. I am not frustrated or upset. I am happy with the performance of the players. We are working hard, there are plenty of games to play." Chelsea goalscorer Marcos Alonso: "I am very happy for the win. There was a lot of talk in the week and it showed we are together, we worked hard and we 100% deserved the win. "We tried to more of the ball in the second half but they were pressing a lot. We were compact and it was a very good game from us."

The Environmental Audit Committee argues air pollution is a "public health crisis" causing nearly as many deaths as smoking. It also suggested a scrappage scheme for diesel cars to cut emissions. The government said it was "investing heavily" in clean air, but campaigners said it was ignoring the issue. There are an estimated 29,000 deaths annually in the UK from air pollution. Nitrogen dioxide is known to cause inflammation of the airways, reduce lung function and exacerbate asthma. Particulate matter - tiny invisible specks of mineral dust, carbon and other chemicals - are linked to heart and lung diseases as well as cancer. Some particulate matter lodges in the lungs, while the finest particles can enter the bloodstream, risking damage elsewhere in the body. Joan Walley, the committee chairwoman, told the BBC: "There is a public health crisis in terms of poor air quality. "There are nearly as many deaths now caused by air pollution as there are from smoking, so the main thing is we stop a new generation of children being exposed." She said government "should make it impossible" for new schools, care home or health clinics to be built in pollution hotspots. She added that "well over a thousand" schools were already near major roads and that it "made sound economic sense" to filter the air coming into the buildings. The committee's report says traffic is responsible for 42% of carbon monoxide, 46% of nitrogen oxides and 26% of particulate matter pollution. It said government had promoted diesel vehicles as they produced less of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. But the committee said diesel was now seen as "the most significant driver of air pollution in our cities". They called for government to pay for diesel drivers to upgrade their engines or for a national scrappage scheme to take the most polluting vehicles off the road. Other measures suggested include: Dr Ian Mudway, a lecturer in respiratory toxicology at King's College London, told the BBC: "The evidence is there. The 29,000 figure is very solid, so really it is a case of acting. "But it is a strange one, because it's their third [report] in five years and it is an attempt to get the government to do anything." The British Lung Foundation said the recommendations "may seem drastic", but air pollution was so bad they were necessary "to protect the nation's health". "Our dirty air will simply not clean itself, and this issue is one that will, without the government's intervention, continue to impact on current and future generations," said Dr Penny Woods, the charity's chief executive. Asthma UK said air pollution increased the risk of a life-threatening attack and "urgent and concerted action" was needed to bring pollution levels down. Chief executive Kay Boycott said: "In the short term some of the measures recommended in this report, such as the publicising of high air pollution forecasts, could help people with asthma know in advance if they should seek advice from their GP or asthma nurse." Simon Gillespie, the chief executive of the British Heart Foundation, said: "The government cannot continue to ignore this issue. "Enough is enough. The government must act on these recommendations quickly if we are to improve the quality of the air we breathe and protect the nation's heart health." A government spokesperson said there would be a full response to the report in the future, but added: "Clean air is vital for people's health and, while air quality has improved significantly in recent decades, we are investing heavily in measures across government to continue this, committing £2bn since 2011 in green transport initiatives." Police fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters at a march called by the main pro-Kurdish party, the HDP. A number of areas in the south-east have been put under curfew as security forces battle Kurdish PKK militants. Violence has surged after a ceasefire broke down earlier this year. The protesters had assembled to voice opposition to the curfew imposed in the city's Sur district for almost two weeks. It was imposed days after prominent pro-Kurdish lawyer Tahir Elci was shot dead in Diyarbakir during a battle between police and unidentified gunmen in which two policemen also died. A ceasefire between the army and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) collapsed in July and dozens have since been killed in violence in the south-east. Turkish jets have also bombed PKK bases in northern Iraq, with the army also launching a ground operation. Many Kurds were also angered by Turkey's failure to help Kurdish fighters in the battle for Kobane in northern Syria in June. In the run-up to November's parliamentary poll, the HDP accused Turkey's governing AK Party and intelligence services of orchestrating more than 400 attacks on its offices. The sectarian nature of Syria's conflict is not just played out on the battlefield, but in the calculations of wealthy Gulf powers: the Sunni monarchies of the Arabian Peninsula are acutely aware of the opportunity in Syria to remove a Shia leader in Bashar al-Assad. But while they share this mutual interest in removing Mr Assad, their usually co-ordinated response is being severely tested, as respective Gulf leaders pursue different paths. Qatar openly supports the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, and is thought to provide money and arms to many different groups inside Syria - including al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra. Saudi Arabia meanwhile has been chiefly concerned about Iran's role, and has been much more cautious, choosing instead to back its own carefully selected groups so as not to help Islamists that may pose a threat to its own security. Bahrain, conscious of its own majority Shia population that has rattled the leadership with months of clashes, has taken a more conciliatory tone, calling on Iran to withdraw its support for Assad, but hoping that a "new page" could be opened with the country following its recent presidential election. Kuwait's position has until now been one of neutrality, but the ancient tribal networks that link it with Syria, and concerns about extremists in the country, means it too has had to tread more carefully, focusing instead on aid efforts. These different approaches to the crisis reflect the different priorities and concerns inside each country. It is the same Sunni-Shia divide leaving scores dead in Syria that colours Gulf responses to Syria's war. The most active of all the Gulf states has been Qatar because it is not concerned about the consequences of its foreign policy on its domestic stability. Its internal dynamics are not being rocked by sectarian divides, and the dangers of political Islam and religious extremism are much more acute elsewhere in the Gulf. Qatar also need not worry about placating or managing an angry Shia population as the Saudis or Bahrainis do. But the active role some of these Gulf States have taken in trying to remove President Assad and their financial and political commitments to the opposition, seem at odds with their commitment to UN aid efforts. An international aid conference in January, hosted by Kuwait, saw the US, European countries and a number of Gulf states pledge a total of $1.5bn (£985m) to help the millions of Syrians forced from their homes. But while most Western pledges have been made - and were added to at the G8 summit last month - Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are among the Gulf States who have yet to meet their targets. According to the UN, Qatar has donated just $2.8m of the $100m it pledged in January, while only $23m of the $78m Saudi Arabia promised has so far materialised. Kuwait's minister of state for cabinet affairs Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah al Sabah called on his neighbour states to contribute the promised funds. He told the BBC Kuwait was "honoured" to have met its $300m target, and that he was "sure our Gulf brothers will be at the forefront of this call to honour their pledges also." Sheikh Mohammad insisted his country remained neutral on the issue of arming Syria's rebels. "We are apolitical," he said. "We have been apolitical since the start of this crisis. We are not for or against arming." He refused to be drawn on Qatar's more aggressive policy, making clear that Qatar is "an integral member of the GCC," adding that Kuwaitis "are very close to our Qatari brothers." But Sheikh Mohammad warned that violence will continue as long as Syria remained a "theatre" for regional power games. One question asks respondents to what extent they agree or disagree with the statement "Maori should not receive any special treatment". Television New Zealand's (TVNZ) online "Kiwimeter" survey was launched by its One News channel on 3 March. It described it as "the biggest survey of national identity ever undertaken in New Zealand." The study looks at views on immigration, the environment, religion, poverty, gender and sport, among others; putting respondents in one of six groups of people with similar views. Many of the questions, including the one about Maori "special treatment", have been criticised as not having been neutrally worded. Labour MP Kelvin Davis, himself Maori, went further, describing the question as "out and out racism" that should be removed from the survey, reported Stuff.co.nz. "I'd like to know what special treatment they're talking about," he said. Describing it as "ham-fisted", Labour leader Andrew Little said "I just think they've got to acknowledge that it wasn't a well-constructed question." But Prime Minister John Key has defended the survey, saying they were legitimate questions, though he said the answer to the question about "special treatment" should be "no". It was just one of several questions criticised. Another read: "Most immigrants these days don't try hard enough to fit into New Zealand society". New Zealand's Human Rights Commission said the survey "poses leading and biased questions about Maori New Zealanders," and described the question about "special treatment" as "a leading statement demonstrating a clear bias. "Kiwimeter has decided Maori already receive 'special treatment' even though they do not explain what this actually means," said Karen Johansen, Indigenous Rights Commissioner. But Vox Pop Labs, the Canadian company that created the survey with One News, defended it, insisting that the only way to get answers to those topics was to ask the questions they did. And the apparently leading questions did not all go the same way. One asked whether a "history of discrimination" made it harder for Maori to succeed. TVNZ's Head of News and Current Affairs John Gillespie said he would not apologise for the questions. "We think that in the survey it is important to be robust and to have questions in it that reflect all parts of society so we won't be taking out questions where we thought long and hard about why they're in there." He also said he hopes Kiwimeter will spur a lively debate among New Zealanders about their identity. Media playback is not supported on this device The 25-year-old Algeria international, signed from French side Le Havre for just £400,000 in January 2014, has been a sensation this season, scoring 15 league goals, including the winner against Watford on Saturday. Mahrez's journey to this point has been far from straightforward. The slight but talented forward was born in the tough Parisian suburb of Sarcelles and lost his father, Ahmed, to a heart attack at the age of 15. But his determination and skill took him across France and to the top of the Premier League. Mahrez's first club was AAS Sarcelles, based in a poor suburb in the north of Paris that has a large number of African immigrants. He joined the club - who play in the local Ligue de Paris - in 2004. Hayel Mbemba, a former team-mate at AAS Sarcelles: "Riyad was a man who played on Monday, Tuesday... all the day, every day he played football. "When he finished playing with the team he would go around the gymnasiums of Sarcelles looking for somewhere to play and train. That was the mentality of Riyad. "Football, and sport in general, in Sarcelles is the way to get out from the street, to not go down another path that will not be good. Media playback is not supported on this device "The training ground is named after Nelson Mandela and the stadium after Philippe Christanval. Mandela is a figure of example and Christanval is the first player from Sarcelles to go to good clubs like Fulham, Barcelona and Monaco, so we gave the stadium his name. "Maybe soon, the next few months, we will build a new stadium and name it after Riyad. I hope we can do that. "He is an example, an inspiration for the young people." Mahrez used to visit hairdressers Nassim Coiffure as a child. Nassim and his staff are also Algerian, and the hairdressers - in Sarcelles - remains an anchor for Mahrez, a connection with his past. Nassim: "All the time, little boys of five or six tell me to give them the Mahrez cut. "I have a lot of clients now that come because of Riyad. They come from Lille, from Belgium, from everywhere! I know all of his hair, all of the strands. He always changes his hairdo. If he changes his hair, people copy him. If he puts a line in his hair, people put a line in too. "He's like the Cristiano Ronaldo of Sarcelles. If Riyad does something, everyone imitates him. "His barber never changes, he has changed his team and the country he plays in but he has never changed his routine. He still hangs out with his friends, he's always in Sarcelles, and Riyad is Riyad. Riyad of Sarcelles is Riyad of Leicester, the same person. He's a wonderful boy. "I'm so happy for Riyad. When you see him like this in England, in the Premier League - it's phenomenal. I get goose bumps when I see Riyad score a goal. I feel like crying when I see him play." Quimper, just over 350 miles from Paris, is the ancient capital of Brittany's most traditional region and in the rainiest part of France. Mahrez moved there in 2009. The club were in the fourth tier of French football when he joined. Mahrez spent his first six months in their second team before gradually making his way through the ranks. He lived with Mathias Pogba in a small apartment in the town centre and was ferried to and from training by a local journalist because he could not drive. Watch Pogba discussing life with Mahrez. Mathias Pogba, brother of France and Juventus midfielder Paul: "As a room mate, first of all I couldn't get on with him because he was not tidy at all. I am very tidy, he used to eat and leave his plate. "I had to domesticate him, I had to put him on his feet. Then after two or three months everything was all right. Before that? No, it was not correct. "We had a bad diet. Bad, bad, bad, always eating steak and french fries. "We lived a proper student life. Two boys, can't cook, having takeaway, always out. "I took him as my little brother, I have two brothers so naturally I take the big brother role. I give him advice still. If he listens he listens, if he doesn't he doesn't. "With the ball at his feet he's unstoppable, but I always told him 'you need to get bigger because you are too skinny'. He has not put on one kilo since then so he obviously hasn't listened. "No player is skinny like him nowadays, but he's getting more clever so he doesn't need to use his body. "Can he be as good as Paul? I think he can, if he keeps going in this way he can be a top, top, top, top player - and puts some weight on." Ronan Salaun, Mahrez's head coach at Quimper: "We had a trial day, a friendly with 20 players, and Riyad was the only one we kept. "It took 20 minutes to realise we wanted him. Although he had a slight physique he had technical qualities. "He was a gem in the rough. He must continue to grow even if Leicester become champions. The logical step is to play for a big European club so he can shine on the international stage." Jo Dorval, a board member at Quimper: "He came with a bag which had in it only three items. A toothbrush, toothpaste and football boots. His left foot - he brought that too but it wasn't in the bag." At one point Mahrez was told by the president of Quimper that they could not afford to give him a contract. Christoph Marchand, a local journalist who covers Quimper: "Riyad was so disappointed, he called his mum almost burning in tears. "The president saw his desperation and 24 hours later he had signed a contact. Maybe if Riyad didn't have this reaction, he wouldn't have got the contract. "Six years ago he was nothing. He was in a low division in France, playing in front of 20 people. But now he has a kind of genius." Le Havre is in Normandy, 300 miles from Quimper. Riyad was 19 when he joined the Ligue 2 club in 2010 and remained there until he moved to Leicester in January 2014. Le Havre nurtured talent such as Paul Pogba and Dmitri Payet, and Mahrez was linked with PSG and Marseille while at the club. But it wasn't all plain sailing. Coach Erick Mombaerts worked hard to refine and develop Mahrez's raw talent, but also used to substitute him a lot when he did not track back as he had been instructed. It has been reported that Leicester were actually scouting Ryan Mendes, who is now at Nottingham Forest. It was only while checking on Mendes that a scout spotted Mahrez. Florian Floqe, a member of the Barbarians, Le Havre's official supporters' club: "Ryan Mendes for sure was the better player. We expected him to reach a higher level than Riyad. Ryan was a fantastic player but he got a bad injury. "Riyad had always the same move, dribbling past a few players on the right wing, cutting inside and shooting. "It might be working in England now, but that sort of Arjen Robben style doesn't work in Ligue 2. "I wrote in my blog at the time that Riyad will become a great player and people laughed at me. A very skilled player but he didn't use his talent efficiently. He had potential but only potential. "We are very happy for Riyad, even proud of him." Yann Simon, also a member of the Barbarians, Le Havre's official supporters' club: "There was no song for him at the club. "My typical favourite players are hard working, strong midfielders. He plays for himself first of all, he played for himself not the team, he was a selfish player. "Of course, we hope he will be transferred at the end of the season [for the sell-on fee]. "We don't know the total amount of the bonus, but it could be the same amount as our budget for a whole year in Le Havre. I say good luck to him and please be transferred at the end of this season… don't wait longer!" Edited by Paul Fletcher. It shrank by 1.9% between January and March compared to the previous year, according to the Russian statistics agency. That compares to annual growth of 0.4% in the previous quarter. President Vladimir Putin has said the government expects Russia's economy to start growing again next year. But the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development says that it expects the economy to contract by 4.5% in 2015 and 1.8% in 2016. The country has hit been hard by a sharp fall in oil prices in the past year, its main export, as well as by sanctions imposed by the West over the Ukraine crisis. "The best that can be said about Q1 GDP [first quarter gross domestic product] data from Russia is that the economy has avoided outright collapse and is, instead, merely on the cusp of recession," says Neil Shearing, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev had previously predicted a 2% decline in the first quarter of 2015. "Though better than expected, this is still a painful fall for any economy," said Craig Botham, emerging markets economist at Schroders. "Further contraction seems inevitable given the lagged effect of monetary policy and the fiscal tightening underway," he added. Meanwhile, the Russian central bank has extended anti-crisis measures aimed at helping banks that have suffered from the low value of the rouble and sanctions in Ukraine. It initiated the measures in December and initially intended to end them in July. Now, they will not do so until October. The value of the rouble has slumped 30% against the US dollar over the last 52-week period. The weak currency and inflation has hit spending in Russia. "Consumers in particular have borne the brunt of the economy's problems, with real wages contracting by 8.4% year-on-year in Q1," says Mr Shearing. The free data set brings together information about crime, business rates, property types, local transport and geographical information. The OS expects developers and designers to use the tool to improve information people can access via the web. The local information is one of several data sets the OS has released. "Good mapping products before now have been there just to get people from A to B," said a spokesman for the OS. Increasingly, he said, people and businesses wanted more detail from online maps and wanted to get lots of local information about locations from one app or site. "Now you would struggle to find a firm out there that does not use maps to help its business or that does not underpin its decision-making," said the spokesman. The OS is not creating a new Google Maps-style service of its own, but is rather providing its data for use by other third-party apps and online tools that can use it to enhance their products. The data set could be used by people looking to start a cafe to find out if any rivals were located nearby, if business rates were high, how many people live near the site and to check local crime statistics and their influence on insurance. The map data includes 460 million separate features and includes information about the footprint and boundaries of buildings and organisations as well as the names of streets, neighbourhoods and regions. Suggestions about what types of information to make available came from the community of people already using OS mapping data, said the spokesman. One requested feature involves being able to change the colour palette in which information is presented which could lead to maps tuned for people with different types of colour-blindness. The prime minister told in audience in south London he looked forward to the day, as he outlined plans to increase the number of ethnic minority Tory MPs. Mr Cameron also pledged to boost minority ethnic jobs, university places and police recruits by 2020. Of 306 Conservative MPs elected in 2010, 11 were black or Asian. Labour had 16 ethnic minority MPs elected in 2010, while the Lib Dems had none. In that election, the Conservative Party only won 16% of the ethnic minority vote, which has historically favoured Labour. In 2015, it is fielding 56 candidates from black and Asian communities. Labour is fielding 52 ethnic minority candidates. Setting out his vision to increase the number of black and Asian students, apprentices, entrepreneurs and police and armed forces personnel, Mr Cameron said he was also setting ambitions for the Conservatives. "In the last Parliament, we increased our number of black and Asian MPs from two, to 11. Now that's not enough, but it's good progress. At this election, there is one party fielding more black and ethnic minority candidates than any other and I'm proud to say, that it's us - the Conservatives." He said in 18% of "retirement seats", where a Conservative MP was standing down and which "we have a very good chance of keeping", the party was standing a candidate from an ethnic minority. By 2020 - he said he wanted that to reach 20% of retirement seats. "And why not? We are the first party to have a female prime minister, we were the party of the first Jewish prime minister and I know one day, we are going to be the party of the first black or Asian prime minister," he said. Main pledges Policy guide: Where the parties stand Pressed on whether he thought Culture Secretary Sajid Javid was in the running to succeed him as prime minister in questions after the speech, he said: "It won't be for me to choose, but the ambition is there and I hope you can sense from me, the excitement is there." Amid reports that London Mayor Boris Johnson is being lined up for a "rapid coronation" as Conservative leader if the party fails to win an outright majority, Mr Cameron said he was focused on the next 12 days of the election campaign and would leave speculation up to the media. In his speech at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, Mr Cameron said he wanted Britain to be an "opportunity country" where people from all backgrounds could "make the most of your talents". He said he wanted to see "ambitious but realistic" targets for black and Asian people - pledging 20% increases by 2020 in the number of jobs, apprenticeships, university places, start-up business loans and police officer recruits from ethnic minorities. In the Armed Forces he pledged an increase of at least 10% "on the way to 20%". Labour Leader Ed Miliband launched his party's black, Asian and ethnic minority manifesto earlier this month, alongside shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan - suggesting quotas could be used to increase the number of non-white and working class people in top jobs, including senior civil servants and the judiciary. They accuse the coalition of overseeing a big rise in the number of young black and Asian people in long-term unemployment. The inquiry was due to start on 1 November, but will now begin on 28 February. A pre-inquiry meeting in Newport on Friday confirmed revised traffic forecasts were less than initially predicted, stalling the process. The Welsh Government want a 15-mile, £1.1bn motorway at Newport to relieve congestion at the Brynglas tunnels. They hope the relief road will open by the autumn of 2021. The new road is proposed to be built to the south of Newport, and will connect the M4's current junction 23 at Magor and junction 29 near Castleton. "The department of transport issued revised guidance," Inspector William Wadrup told the pre-inquiry. "So they (the Welsh Government) were less confident of the traffic case and the precision of it. So effectively they froze the process." Mr Wadrup said the Department of Transport had used the planning data "in error." "This was pointed out to the department, who accepted this," added Mr Wadrup. The M4 relief road project has been on the agenda since it was first proposed by the Welsh Office in 1991. Up to 13 alternatives to the Welsh Government-backed route are scheduled to be suggested at the inquiry when it begins next month. The Welsh Government are also due to propose the remodelling of junctions for the current Magor Services, and the new junction serving Newport docks. The inquiry, which is expected to last five months, will also look into the Welsh Government's proposed compulsory purchase of land at Newport docks for the construction of the new road. Owners Associated British Ports have objected to the relief road scheme because of the potential impact on operations at Newport docks. Mr Wadrup said the docks are "sacrosanct", and should be exempt from compulsory purchase orders. Secretary of State for transport Chris Grayling, with support from the Welsh Government, has asked the inquiry to investigate the purchase of the land at Newport docks. A concurrent inquiry will also look into the proposed demolition of the Magor Vicarage as it is a listed building. The kicker's two-year deal was agreed just a day before he was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. He is already the Colts' all-time leader in points scored, extra points made and field goals made. And he is one of only three kickers in the history of American football to have passed 500 career field goals. Vinatieri's 48-yard kick to win Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 is often credited as the moment that launched a period of New England Patriots dominance that saw them win the championship twice more in the next three seasons and reach six Super Bowls in 13 years. American football Only two other players have ever gone on to feature in pro football beyond the age of 45. Morten Anderson was 47 when he played his final game for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, while quarterback George Blanda was 48 when he made his last outing for the Oakland Raiders in 1975. Football Salvador Reyes helped Mexican club Chivas to seven league titles in the 1950s and '60s. Arguably their greatest ever player, the club legend was honoured in later years when named in the starting line-up for a game against Pumas in 2008 - at the age of 71. He kicked off, took a return pass, played a neat one-two and kicked the ball into touch so he could be substituted. Boxing The WBC light-welterweight world champion from 1980-82, Saoul Mamby, made a comeback aged 60 - 26 years after holding that title. He fought in an officially sanctioned bout in the Cayman Islands in 2008, but lost in 10 rounds. Cricket Yorkshire and England all-rounder Wilfred Rhodes played his final Test for his country at the age of 52. He took four for 44 in the second innings against Australia as England won the 1930 Ashes. Snooker Three-time world champion Fred Davis won the British Boys Under-Six Billiards Championship in 1929 and only retired in 1993, aged 79, due to severe arthritis in his left knee. Tennis Martina Navratilova's mixed doubles win at the 2006 US Open came a month short of her 50th birthday and 32 years after her first Grand Slam title in 1974. However, the exact time of mid-summer changes every year. This year, it falls at 17:38 BST on Sunday. Due to the earth's tilt, summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is the point at which the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, and shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer which is 23.5 degrees north of the equator. It is also the day of the year that has the most hours of daylight, and potentially the most hours of sunshine, cloud permitting. Astronomically, summer means the days lengthen as far as 21 June, then gradually get shorter again. But while the summer solstice is the longest day of the year, on average it is not the warmest. This is due to a seasonal lag, as the longer hours of solar radiation continue to warm the land and the oceans for a couple of months into July and August. Highest average temperatures in Northern Ireland occur from late July into early August, with the highest sea temperatures also coming in August as a build-up of heat energy continues. Even though the days are technically getting shorter after the summer solstice, it's a slow process at first and the hours of daylight are still quite long. This means that for meteorological purposes, the summer months are considered to be the months of June, July and August. Now we can only hope that we get some long sunny days this summer to go along with those longer hours of daylight! Mr Iannucci accused Mr Banks of owning a firm in Belize and being the director of a company with a turnover of £19m which paid £12,000 in corporation tax. Mr Banks has denied owning a company in Belize or seeking to avoid UK tax "via any device" and said he would sue if he did not get an apology within a week. Mr Iannucci has not yet responded. The comedian was on Thursday night's programme during a discussion on tax avoidance. Responding to a comment by UKIP deputy chairman Suzanne Evans, Mr Iannucci said: "When I said they're all in it together, I did really mean they are all in it together. "UKIP has Arron Banks donating a million pounds, and he has got a company in Belize. He is the director of a firm that had a turnover of £19.7m but paid £12,000 in corporation tax because £19.6m was actually an administrative expense." Writing on Facebook, Mr Banks said the comments were "clearly defamatory". What Arron Banks said on Facebook Arron Banks wrote: "Apparently some Italian / Scottish comedian accused me of being a tax dodger ! Here was my Dear Mr Lanucci, I understand you mentioned me on question time in connection with the use of Belizean/ overseas companies to reduce my tax bill including a company in Belize and a service company. I do not own any companies in Belize so this comment is clearly defamatory. I believe it is recycling an old guardian story which was incorrect - I have made charitable donations to the Belize children's hospital and hosted a function for them. This was for a cancer charity. Meanwhile the service company mentioned is in respect of mainly UK staff and expenses incurred and does not save any UK tax. The company does not produce revenue. I have created over 5,000 local jobs in South Gloucestershire and donated over a million pounds to charity including, local churches, facilities for schools, scouts, cubs, cricket and hockey clubs and local sports clubs in the area. I paid £2m pounds in tax , over the last two years - probably more than most Italians one imagines. Particularly funny ones. I do not own any Belizean companies or seek to avoid UK tax via any device - I expect an apology within 7 days or proceedings will follow. Best regards Arron Ps love the thick of it !" Ms Evans posted a reply on Facebook to Mr Banks's statement which said: "So pleased you have posted this. "I was obviously completely unaware of the truth or otherwise of allegations so couldn't really say much. I hope he apologies to you forthwith and will publicise widely." Mr Banks replied: "No worries - he seems to get his information from the guardian (hardly a reliable source) "Hope you had a good time on Qt !! Up the revolution". A spokeswoman for BBC News said the organisation would not comment. Attempts so far to speak to Arron Banks and Armando Iannucci have not been successful. Andrew and Stephen Hughes have now been given further bans until 2028 by the Insolvency Service. Devon-based Heritage Properties & Hotels Ltd had four hotels before going into administration in 2014. The bans mean they are disqualified from being directors or in any way managing a company. Their sister Julie Savage has been banned until 2023 for her part in failing to keep adequate financial records. An investigation found the brothers continued to work in management despite being previously disqualified and found that accounting records had been destroyed. The company's four hotels were Churston Court Hotel near Brixham, Devon, The Crab at Chieveley Hotel in Chieveley and Newbury Manor Hotel in Newbury, both Berkshire, and Park House Hotel in Shifnal, Shropshire. All four have since been taken over by new owners. David Brooks, chief investigator at the Insolvency Service, said: "This investigation was hampered by the destruction of records but it was eventually possible to show the involvement of Andrew and Stephen Hughes who were acting in contravention of their disqualifications. "If people are disqualified but then act or do so through others, the consequences for them are likely to become serious including prosecution and personal liability." Andrew Hughes was previously disqualified on 4 October 2010 and Mr Stephen Hughes was disqualified on 25 May 2006. When the company went into administration in October 2014, there were outstanding creditor claims of £8,049,537. Police said a 32-year-old man is now being held under the Mental Health Act. It follows the death of Margaret Evans, 69, whose body was found at her home in Knockancor Drive, Portstewart, last week. She had been beaten. Mrs Evans was well known in the town where she ran a hair salon before stepping down in January. . The 27-year-old suffered the injury in a clash of heads with Josh van der Flier during Cardiff Blues' 13-16 defeat by Leinster on Saturday. Warburton will have a small plate inserted in his face. The Blues say he will be out for two to four weeks. Wales play Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa in November. "It's disappointing for Sam," said Blues backs coach Matt Sherratt. "He was getting a run of games and getting into some form, so I'm disappointed for him. "It's not too serious and as far as the Blues are concerned it's chance for someone else to come in and start some games." Sherratt will be part of Rob Howley's Wales coaching team this season. Warburton's injury is believed to be similar to one suffered by Dan Lydiate during the 2016 World Cup. The Ospreys flanker missed only one match - the 15-6 loss to Australia - before returning to play in the quarter final against South Africa. However, the surgery adds to a back row injury headache for Howley, who is in the Wales role while head coach Warren Gatland takes charge of the British and Irish Lions. Lydiate has not played yet this season after undergoing surgery on a shoulder in June, while number eight Taulupe Faletau has been out since injuring knee ligaments on his Premiership debut for Bath on 3 September. Simone Evans set up the improvised Moray Council polling station in her car outside the Royal British Legion branch in Buckie. Two of the early arrivals voted in the car before the building opened. Around the country, people have been voting to elect 1,227 councillors across 32 local authorities. Moray's depute returning officer, Moira Patrick, praised the presiding officer for her quick thinking. She put polling station notices in the windows of her Ford Galaxy and, with the ballot box on the front passenger seat, cleared the rear seat so that voters could have privacy to cast their vote. The reason for the building not being accessible in time for the polls opening 07:00 was not yet clear. Dale Bolinger, 57, had a computer disc containing an image of a girl on a serving plate with an apple in her mouth, Canterbury Crown Court heard. He said he thought about cannibalism from the age of six but his interest was all "in fantasy", the court heard. Mr Bolinger denies attempting to meet a child under 16 after sexual grooming. Jurors have heard he used an online network to discuss beheading and eating women and girls for sexual pleasure. The court heard he had online chats with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old Mexican girl called "Eva" who lived in Germany, about killing and eating her. But he told police he was so concerned after the chats that he believed her to be at risk, and that was why he travelled to Ashford International station to meet her, the trial was told. When questioned about images found on a disc at his home, Mr Bolinger told police: "I do not find children sexually attractive but I do find them interesting as a food source." But he also told officers: "At no time have I ever killed, kidnapped, taken or eaten a person." Jurors were told when he arranged to meet "Eva" during chats on the Dark Fetish Network (DFN) website, they had discussed him killing her with an axe and eating her. The court heard Mr Bolinger bought an axe from Homebase but he told police he had bought it to remove two tree stumps from the side of his house. Defending Mr Bolinger, Paul Jarvis said: "There is not a single piece of evidence from the family home to say that anyone met their death there or has been consumed at the property." He asked his client whether he had ever killed anybody, eaten human flesh or sexually assaulted a child. Mr Bolinger replied: "No, not in reality, just in fantasy." He told the court he had visited the DFN website out of curiosity and the people he spoke to seemed to be "willing to accept anything". Mr Bolinger said: "Initially, I was looking to find people with like minds and to see where they came from, but it soon spiralled down into trying to shock people enough that they would ask 'is this fantasy?'" Asked if he would ever decapitate anyone, Mr Bolinger replied: "No, not only would you be killing somebody but the mess would be quiet incredible." And he told the court: "When I first started school I had a fantasy about children being stolen and cooked and I would save them. "That changed around puberty." Earlier, prosecutor Martin Yale read to the court excerpts from a police interview with Mr Bolinger when he was arrested in February last year. Mr Bolinger said at the age of six he had fantasies about kindergarten staff taking girls to the kitchen to eat them. He told police: "By the time I got to 14, I turned into the villain of the piece and I wondered what it would be like to eat a girl." Mr Bolinger, formerly of Canterbury, blamed his "very domineering" mother for his behaviour, which he described as "weird" and "very strange", the jury was told. Mr Bolinger said in the police interview: "I think it was more to do with disliking my mother more than hating women." The court heard he told police he had been brought up in a military household because his father was in the US Air Force and he had been suppressed as a child. Jurors were told Mr Bolinger said his mother made a drunken pass at him when he was 15, which left him "shocked". The court heard Mr Bolinger had been married for 34 years and had four children, though one had died before the age of one. He told police he had never discussed his fantasies with his wife Rosemary and said he felt ashamed. Mr Yale said the accused told police: "It was less to do with sexual gratification and more to do with anger. "The people that do it (cannibalism) are seriously deranged, and I may be many things but I am not deranged." In February, Mr Bolinger pleaded guilty to administering a poison or noxious substance after he put a cloth soaked with dry-cleaning fluid over the mouth of his friend Urlene King in July 2010. He said he loved her and sexual feelings towards her, but Miss King had not really made her feelings towards him clear. He described how he saw some gauze and the fluid as he was washing his hands. He told the jury: "I was intending to put it over her face. Why I was intending to put it over her face; I don't really remember it. "I could not feel any emotion or anything. "Was I living out one of these fantasies? No. Was it to kill her? No. Was it to rape her? No. Why I was doing it, I am not too sure. I cannot really give an adequate answer." On Tuesday the trial heard how Mr Bolinger claimed to have eaten a 39-year-old woman and a five-year-old child during chats with other users of the DFN. He was arrested by Kent Police in February 2013 following contact with FBI officers in the United States and charged seven months later. The trial was adjourned until Friday. According to the latest figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), overall net migration stands at 333,000, and has risen more than a third since David Cameron came to power in 2010, with the aim of reducing numbers to tens of thousands a year. EU migration accounts for about of 49% of UK net migration. As we've outlined here, the government has not been able to bring migration from outside the EU down to tens of thousands, so it is not clear it would be able to do so with EU migrants post-Brexit. For the last few months, we've looked into a number of claims made about the impact of immigration on public services. We've discovered that there are no figures to show the exact cost to the NHS, but the three million EU citizens already here are likely to stay even if we leave the EU. Find out more about this here. We've checked other claims related to future immigration and the NHS in this piece, where we concluded an increasing population would put additional demand on A&E but the extent of that increase has not been demonstrated. Vote Leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith claimed that the UK would need to build 240 houses a day for 20 years to cope with increased demand. We've found this claim to be correct. And as we've outlined here, the recent increase in immigration has put additional pressure on school places. Overall it is equivalent to less than one pupil for each school in the UK, although it's important to point out that immigration is not evenly spread across Britain. In terms of the figures available to us on the numbers of EU migrants, we've also found that according to the Annual Population Survey, about two million of them arrived in the 10 years since 2004, the year that the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia joined the EU. Polish nationals represent the largest group of EU nationals living in the UK overall, with 853,000 of its citizens living in the UK. The Irish were the second largest group, as we've shown here. We've answered some of your other questions about the EU and immigration below. The question: Julia Watson asks BBC Radio 4's PM programme "If Britain leaves the EU, would the border between England and France be moved back from Calais to Dover?" The answer: France and the UK are bound by the Le Touquet agreement, a deal they signed in 2003, which established the UK immigration checks on French territory. Le Touquet is not an EU agreement and, if the UK votes to leave the EU, the deal will not automatically be affected. Under the agreement, passengers are checked before they embark on cross-Channel services. The checks have stopped irregular migrants from reaching the UK but they have also led, in part, to the establishment of the "Jungle", the migrant camp in Calais that French authorities are currently trying to dismantle. The agreement can be terminated only by the UK or the French government, after giving six months notice. The question is: would France want to terminate it? It might, depending on several factors, including the presidential elections in 2017. The question: Nicola asks BBC Radio 4's PM programme "What would be the implications for Northern Ireland if the UK leaves the EU? Would border controls come back into effect?" The answer: Throughout the EU referendum campaign, both the Remain and Leave sides have made frequent claims about what might happen to the border in the event of a UK exit from the EU. If there is a major difference in immigration policies between Ireland and Northern Ireland, border controls would have to be re-introduced. The UK and Ireland entered into a Common Travel Area (CTA) agreement in 1923. This is an informal travel arrangement which means that no passport controls are in operation for Irish and UK citizens travelling between the two countries. As it stands now, the Republic of Ireland is not in the Schengen zone, meaning, should the UK maintain the CTA, people crossing from mainland Europe into Ireland and then through to the UK should not be able to do so without showing their passports. We concluded that it's hard to predict what would happen between the two countries at this stage. It would depend on the type of agreements the UK negotiates. Read more about this here. The question: Pedro asked BBC Radio 4's PM programme "What will happen to EU migrants currently living in the UK in the case of Brexit?" The answer: There are currently about 3 million citizens from other EU countries living in the UK at the moment. It is unlikely they would be forced to leave in the event of a Brexit. No Leave politicians or campaigners have suggested that EU migrants already here should leave if the UK left the EU. And some lawyers argue that the Vienna Convention would let EU citizens settled in the UK and UK citizens living in other EU countries stay where they are, if the UK decided to leave the EU (although it's worth noting that two EU countries - France and Romania - are not signed up to the convention). Whether the UK restricts future migration from the EU would depend on whatever deal the UK struck when it left the EU. You can read more about this here. Keep your questions coming by email (realitycheck@bbc.co.uk) or via Twitter @BBCRealityCheck and we'll answer as many as we can before 23 June.

North Wales Police arrested the driver of the bucket loader, who was later released without charge. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating, and the firm has offered counselling to any staff affected. The cascade - or Weeping Window - section will be draped down St George's Hall before opening to the public on Saturday ahead of Remembrance Sunday. The installation, which marked 100 years since the start of World War One, drew more than five million visitors. The poppies will be on display in Liverpool until January. Updates on this story and more from Merseyside Assistant Mayor Wendy Simon planted the first poppies at the venue, where thousands of men signed up to fight in World War One in 1914. She said the exhibit was "really important" for the city, "for us to remember, for young and old to come together, to reflect and to really think about what people sacrificed so we can live in the freedom and democracy we have today". How St George's Hall played its part in World War One Created by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, the artwork was named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red after a line written by a soldier who died in Belgium. Each of the 888,246 poppies in the Tower of London display represented each death in the British and Colonial forces between 1914 and 1918. About £9m was raised for military charities after most of the poppies were sold to the public but two sections - the Wave and the Weeping Window - were bought for the nation by the charities Backstage Trust and the Clore Duffield Foundation. Both sections will be exhibited at various venues across the UK before they are permanently housed at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester after 2018. Amnesty says around 1,500 people are sleeping in the open air at the Traiskirchen centre near Vienna. It describes the facility as insanitary and badly organised and says there is insufficient medical care. The interior ministry said it was working to try to improve the situation at the camp. It said Austria was facing an "extreme situation" because of a rise in the number of people seeking asylum there. The head of the Austrian branch of Amnesty International, Heinz Pazelt, told the BBC the conditions in Traiskirchen were "shameful", particularly in a rich country like Austria. He said hundreds of unaccompanied minors were being severely neglected. "They are just left alone and have to survive there. They are the last ones who get to eat, and this is a really heavy human rights violation of the convention for children," he said. The Amnesty report (in German) says many of the problems could be easily dealt with if there was better cooperation between the federal government and the provincial authorities in Austria. The EU's statistics agency Eurostat says Austria received more than 28,000 asylum applications in 2014. In the first three months of 2015, it had received more than 10,000. Syrians, Kosovans and Afghans were the three biggest groups claiming asylum in Austria in early 2015, the agency says. Earlier, when an Indian wanted personal advice on life matters - she looked to gurus and astrology. This, in recent times, has been replaced with the English alphabet. India has more than 20 listed major languages but it is only English which has been bestowed with this honour and whose every letter can be a potential guide to life. My conjecture is that this has come from management speak. For example, an American restaurant manager will say: "In the restaurant business years ago, I was taught the three As: acknowledge, apologise, act." This obsession with the alphabet is all-pervasive; everyone from the little man on the street to politicians has a pet letter that they split into triple alliteration. The making of this instant Bible is a wholly arbitrary exercise - zero in on any letter between A and Z, then force it to cough up a minimum of three alliterations. It can go up from here - it can be five, or seven: the sky is the limit. But the minimum is three. Once you've done this, life becomes much easier. I recently went to a store selling gym equipment to inquire about buying an exer-cycle. The owner sat glowing behind the counter, his t-shirt sleeves rolled up, his biceps bulging like a buffalo's full udder. I said to the man: "I can see you've been doing your body-building in here." He said: "Why not, just like a halwai [sweet vendor] ends up eating his own sweets, I end up exercising in my gym store." Then, apropos of nothing, he outlined his life's success mantra for me: "Food, fashion and fitness." He was acting out his life according to the three Fs. Two Fs were already in existence: the store we were in was "Fitness", downstairs he had another shop selling readymade clothes - "fashion". He whispered he was working on the third "F" - food. A "multi-cuisine restaurant" with a South Indian, Chinese and Mughlai menu was in the pipeline. His life was set. Indians cannot have enough of this alphabet soup. Every commentator and public figure doles out a letter combo in a speech or a column, only to be asked for yet another. It's like Oliver Twist: "Please, sir, I want some more." When it comes to single alphabet combos, Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads from the front. Two years ago, it was the three Ds of national success: "Demographic dividend, democracy and demand for goods and services." Soon after, President Pranab Mukherjee, addressing both houses of parliament, spoke of building on "the 3Ds of democracy, demographic and demand", and added to it five terrific Ts, riding on the strengths of which would help "revive Brand India": "Tradition, talent, tourism, trade and technology." India's film stars also regularly take to Facebook to share their alphabet mantras for success. Deepika Padukone, the reigning queen of Bollywood, recently seen with Vin Diesel in The Return of Xander Cage, posted this for the benefit of her legion of fans: "When I was growing up my father said to me, 'To be the best, always remember the three D's - Discipline, Dedication and Determination'." Total number of "likes": 142K. India's No.1 paperback writer, Chetan Bhagat, recently wrote an op-ed on India's rupee ban for a national broadsheet. It was headlined, "The 3 New I's of Indian Politics." The three inane I's are: "Intention, Initiative and Ideas." Even gurus, not wanting to be left behind, have adapted to changing times. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar tweeted the following three Ps to his followers: "Perseverance, patience and possibility." Among other things, this has led to an intense debate among Indian grammarians about the use of the apostrophe between the chosen key letter and the plural-designating "s" that proceeds it. As always happens, when there's plenty of something, a pioneer emerges who sets the bar higher for everybody who follows. Naina Dayal, a lecturer in Indian history at St. Stephen's College, Delhi, writes about a University Grants Commission "Orientation Programme" that she attended a little while back: "A former governor spoke to us at length about 14 Cs that we must cherish and impart to our students - confidence, courage, credibility, capability, compassion, concentration, creativity, co-ordination, communication, competence, co-relation, character, culture and commitment." When the rest of the country was stuck at three-letter alliterations, this ambitious gentleman - the governor - went where no man had gone before: the fabulous 14. The trouble with this relentless alphabetising is that there are so many variations possible on a theme (even though the English alphabet is finite), that no one really remembers the mantra after the moment of its utterance has passed. As a writer, to me, all letters of the alphabet family are equal. They are my sons, daughters and transgenders. To my mind, it would be terribly unfair on my behalf if I were to throw all my weight around one single letter and the words it subsequently reproduces at random. The writer is the editor of House Spirit: Drinking in India, published by Speaking Tiger Starting next year, the UK will have a Budget in the autumn, while a Spring Statement will be issued from 2018, replacing the March Budget. However, this Spring Statement will be on a much smaller scale than the current Autumn Statement. "No other major economy makes hundreds of tax changes twice a year, and neither should we," Mr Hammond said. "This is my first Autumn Statement as chancellor," he said. "After careful consideration, and detailed discussion with the Prime Minister, I have decided that it will also be my last." The announcement means that the Budget statement due in March next year will be the last spring Budget. What the Autumn Statement means for you Ministers back Autumn Statement forecasts UK economy 'resilient' despite £122bn hit Autumn Statement latest updates Key points at-a-glance Your questions answered The introduction of an autumn Budget means tax changes will be announced well in advance of the start of the tax year. The chancellor said the change would allow for "greater Parliamentary scrutiny" of any changes ahead of their implementation. From 2018 there will be a Spring Statement, which will be a response to forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility, but this will not be a "major fiscal event", according to the chancellor. "If unexpected changes in the economy require it, then I will, of course, announce actions at the Spring Statement, but I won't make significant changes twice a year just for the sake of it," Mr Hammond said. The chancellor said this was a "long-overdue reform" to the tax-policy making process in the UK. This will not be the first time the UK has seen a Budget held in the autumn. There has been back-and-forth movement as governments have changed. The practice during the Callaghan and Thatcher governments was for a Budget in the spring. It focused on taxation and was accompanied by an Autumn Statement setting out the government's spending plans for the next year. In 1993, the then chancellor Kenneth Clarke merged tax and spending announcements into an autumn Budget. There was also a short summer economic forecast, when figures would be updated. When Gordon Brown was chancellor, he reverted to a Budget in March and added a Pre-Budget Report (PBR), which was intended to be a short document reporting on progress since the Budget. Without introducing any tax measures, the PBR was meant to assist the discussion of tax proposals, but it became for all intents and purposes a second annual Budget. George Osborne changed the name of the PBR to the Autumn Statement, but the format was the same and it contained many tax measures, sometimes more than were included in the March Budget. However, not everyone was happy with Mr Hammond's announcement to revert to an autumn Budget. "The Autumn Statement has long been a Budget in all but name, and two Budgets a year are too many. But the chancellor simply seems to be swapping the statements around," said Alex Henderson, tax partner at PwC. "There's a good reason Budgets happen in March as that's when the government's fiscal year ends and there's adequate data to work with. March budgets date back to medieval times, for good reason," he added. Just five days after winning their third BBL Cup in a row, the Eagles were beaten 112-103 by the unfancied Wolves. Newcastle were outscored 30-16 in the third quarter by a Worcester side beaten 81-73 at Bristol last weekend. "The guys have been challenging each other all week in training." James told BBC Sport. "They have been beasted." He added: "Our game plan was to stand up to Newcastle and to do to them what they usually do to others. "None of our players was going to back down. Our efforts have been rewarded today - I'm super proud of the players." Find out how to get into basketball with our special guide. While top scorer on the night was Newcastle's Rahmon Fletcher with 34 points, Worcester produced more of a team effort, spearheaded by Maurice Walker (23), Ashton Khan (22) and Danny Huffor (21). "We had six players with double-figure points, not just one player out on his own," added James. Worcester, who are up to seventh in the BBL, now face a trip to London Lions on Sunday before returning to the University of Worcester Arena next Friday (27 January) to host Surrey Scorchers. The firm, owned by brothers Sandy and James Easdale, recorded pre-tax profits of £3.22m, up from £1.75m in 2013. Turnover also increased from £33.8m to £35.3m over the same period. The firm said it managed to achieve savings by outsourcing the procurement of mechanical parts and materials. Managing director Ralph Roberts said McGill's was "back on track" to meet its growth and profitability targets. "After a year of stifled activity in 2013, mainly a result of the costly Competition Commission investigation, these strong results are in line with forecast," he said. "The results have allowed McGill's to significantly increase investment in rolling stock and infrastructure back to planned levels which benefit customers and service reliability. "The profit achieved is in line with expectations of public transport companies of this size, but, crucially, all has been re-invested, ensuring McGill's customers feel the benefit of the business trading according to plan." His comments came after opposition Labor Leader Bill Shorten conceded defeat and congratulated him. Votes are still being counted, but the Liberal-National coalition is expected to win enough seats to govern. However, a strong swing against it has left doubts about its agenda and Mr Turnbull's leadership. The coalition still remains short of the 76 seats it needs to claim a majority in the lower house, the House of Representatives. But it should secure at least 74, and also has the support of three independent and minor party politicians - Cathy McGowan, Andrew Wilkie and Bob Katter - guaranteeing budget supply and confidence. Labor is currently on 66 seats, with five still in doubt. At a news conference, Mr Turnbull said: "We have had a successful election. We have secured the largest number of seats in parliament." He admitted that the election was "a tough business", but welcomed Mr Shorten's calls for "common ground" in parliament. Speaking earlier, Mr Shorten admitted defeat. "It is clear that Mr Turnbull and his coalition will form a government," he said. "So I have spoken to Mr Turnbull earlier this afternoon to congratulate him and [his wife] Lucy and to wish them my very best." Malcolm Turnbull has his majority, but he is beset on all sides. Inside his party he faces a restless right wing that disapproves of his "small-l" liberal leanings. Opposition leader Bill Shorten is taunting Mr Turnbull at every opportunity and predicting a return to the polls within a year. The Senate promises to be unruly - several senators-elect are already bickering. With Australia's AAA credit rating under a cloud, Mr Turnbull will need to corral populist senators into passing budget cuts. The prime minister has his party's support for now, but his enemies are watching closely. Former Australian leader Paul Keating once said Mr Turnbull was brilliant and fearless, but had no judgment. The prime minister can't afford to put a foot wrong now. Stringent requirements for verifying votes meant the count progressed slowly after the 2 July poll. Postal votes, which are counted after polling day, heavily favoured the coalition and helped them cross the line in a number of closely run electorates. The tight result is likely to put pressure on the government's agenda, particularly in the Senate, where many independent and minor party candidates are set to take office. The massive scale of Australia's election Australia's new powerbroker Cartoon: Planet of Forbidden Prime Ministers While final Senate results may not be known until August, anti-immigration politician Pauline Hanson is likely to hold at least three seats. South Australia's Senator Nick Xenophon and his newly formed Nick Xenophon Team are also likely to hold three spots, while former shock jock Derryn Hinch has secured a seat. Conflicting agendas and strong personalities could make it difficult for Mr Turnbull to pass legislation through the Senate. Mr Turnbull has come under pressure both internally and externally since the worse-than-expected election result became clear. Senator Cory Bernardi, one of the coalition's most vocal right-wingers, called the election "a disaster" and has since made moves to establish his own conservative movement, although he denies plans to defect from the Liberal party. Mr Shorten has repeatedly called on Mr Turnbull to stand down, saying he has lost his mandate. On Thursday ratings agency Standard & Poor's lowered Australia's credit rating outlook from stable to negative, warning the country could lose its AAA rating unless it undertook budget repair. Treasurer Scott Morrison described the downgrade as "sobering" and said the government's budget savings needed to be implemented. But shadow treasurer Chris Bowen said the opposition would campaign against any spending cuts that would hurt Australians on low incomes. Doubts have been raised over the passage of government's Australian Building and Construction Commission bill, which aims to re-establish a watchdog that monitors union activity in Australia's building industry. The bill's non-passage provided Mr Turnbull with the trigger to call an early "double-dissolution" election where all 76 Senate seats were up for grabs, rather than the usual half. Independent MP Bob Katter has already indicated that he will withdraw his support from the government if it engages in what he sees as "union bashing". It was part of a weekend of events commemorating the longest continuous military campaign in World War II. The service, attended by the Princess Royal, was followed by a march to remember the thousands who lost their lives during the battle. It fought for control of vital supply routes, beginning as war broke out in 1939. Liverpool was the destination of many wartime Atlantic convoys and home of the Western Approaches Command. The climax of the battle was in May 1943, when Germany's submarine fleet suffered heavy losses in the Atlantic. Skirmishes in the Atlantic continued until the war ended in 1945, but the Allies sank particularly large numbers of U-boats in May 1943, effectively winning the Battle of the Atlantic. Among those laying wreaths at the cathedral service was submarine Captain Patrick Walker, whose grandfather Captain Johnnie Walker was a national hero for his relentless pursuit of U-Boats in World War II. Ships from the Royal Navy and around the world - some of which are open to the public - are converging on the city for the commemorations. The Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, which was vital to the battle as its 12,000 staff worked around the clock to build a warship every 21 days, has also opened its doors for the first time in 20 years. Liverpool hosted the 60th anniversary events, during which nearly 2,000 guests, including hundreds of veterans and former merchant seamen, attended a memorial service at the cathedral. The milestone was also marked in London and Londonderry in May. The former Derby County full-back, 45, is best known for his role as assistant manager to David Moyes, both at Everton and then Manchester United. It was at Everton where he first worked for Villa chief executive Keith Wyness, who was then chief executive at Goodison Park. He has also worked in various backroom roles with England, Manchester City, Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Derby. He will be based at the Championship club's Bodymoor Heath training ground, where he has already officially started in his new role, alongside manager Roberto Di Matteo and his supporting staff, Steve Clarke and Kevin Bond.

Det Supt Jon Betts, of Cheshire Police, said Jade Lynch's "very active" social media behaviour had changed significantly since she went missing. Jade, who lives in St Helens, Merseyside, told family members she was going to meet someone in the town on 26 March but has not been seen since. Her sister Stephanie said: "It is not like her not to be in contact." Live updates on this story and others from Merseyside and west Cheshire The teenager was last seen in the Duke Street area of St Helens by her two younger brothers. Her sister Stephanie Lynch described Jade as a "really loving girl" who is "always talking to friends". She added: "She's a typical teenager, she's always in contact with someone online or on her phone - always talking to someone - that's why we are so worried. "We just want to know she is ok because as she's got older we have got so much closer." Det Supt Betts said Jade was "vulnerable". "If something has happened whilst you've been missing there is nothing that we can't deal with. All we are interested in, is bringing you home safe and well," he added. It is understood the 14-year-old has links to the Merseyside and Manchester areas but may also have connections in Cumbria and Bristol. She is originally from Warrington. She was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black trousers and white Nike trainers and is described as white, about 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall, of medium build, with long straight black hair. Anyone with any information about Jade or her whereabouts is asked to contact Cheshire Police.

The call comes days after international talks to find measures to tackle the industry crisis failed. The joint statement comes from the US, Canada, the EU, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland and Turkey. Record production in China has in the past months led to criticism that it was distorting international markets by selling steel at a loss. The statement calls for "ongoing international dialogue" to remove "market-distorting policies" and promote greater transparency in the global industry. On Monday, representatives from more than 30 countries met in Belgium but concluded only that overcapacity had to be dealt with in a swift and structural way. The US explicitly pointed the finger at China, saying the country would face possible trade action if it didn't cut overcapacity. But China rejected suggestions that it subsidised its loss-making steel companies, and the meeting ended without any formal agreement. Chinese steel production has expanded hugely. Over the past 25 years, output has grown to more than 12 times the size. By comparison, the EU's output fell by 12% while the US's remained largely flat. The drive behind that stellar increase has been China's double-digit growth over the past decades - but the current slowdown has severely hit domestic demand. Chinese steel is therefore sold on the international market at extremely low prices, critics say it's sold at a loss. As a consequence, other country's steel plants find it increasingly hard to compete. China dismisses claims that its steel is sold at a loss and says it has done what it can to curb overproduction. Beijing's official news agency said that blaming the country for the global steel industry's problems was a "lame and lazy excuse for protectionism". In a commentary piece, Xinhua warned of protective import tariffs, saying that "blaming other countries is always an easy, sure-fire way for politicians to whip up a storm over domestic economic woes, but finger-pointing and protectionism are counter-productive." Very little. While other countries complain that cheaper Chinese steel is forcing their producers out of business, China is itself faced with severe problems in the industry. The boom of past years means any substantial output cuts will lead to huge job losses, potentially leading to social instability. It's unlikely that China will cut output by a lot and unless domestic demand picks up, cheap exports will continue to affect global markets. China is the world's biggest steel producer, accounting for around 822 million tonnes a year. On Tuesday, the country said its production hit a record high last month as rising profits had encouraged more output. With China's domestic market slowing, their producers have been looking for export markets, such as the EU. This has led to accusations of unfair competition, that Chinese producers are "dumping" steel products on overseas markets - that is not just selling them cheaply, taking advantage of their lower production costs, but actually selling them at a loss. India's Tata steel recently announced plans to sell its loss-making UK business, citing "rapidly deteriorated" trading conditions due to global oversupply. In 2015, the EU imposed anti-dumping duties for six months on some steel imports from China and Taiwan. The EU and China have already clashed over the alleged dumping of products such as wine, solar panel and steel pipes.

"I think there is a good case for it," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. The prime minister did not deny reports he had asked Justice Secretary Michael Gove to look into it. Mr Cameron, who is renegotiating Britain's EU membership ahead of an in-out vote before 2018, said he was "very suspicious" of Brussels. The prime minister has said he wants the UK to stay in a reformed European Union, but he has not ruled out campaigning to leave if he cannot secure the changes he wants. If a deal is agreed with other European leaders at a key EU summit in February, a vote on Britain's membership of the bloc could potentially be held as early as June. At a press conference in Brussels on Monday, European Council President Donald Tusk said the EU needed to reach "a reasonable compromise" on Britain's objectives. But he warned there "will be no room for discrimination" - a possible reference to UK proposals to restrict migrants' access to UK benefits for four years. The plans have encountered opposition from some EU leaders, particularly from eastern European countries such as Poland and Hungary. It has been reported that the UK government will amend domestic law to make clear that Parliament is sovereign and that Britain's courts are not bound by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights - a legally binding charter which set out a range of civil, political and social rights enjoyed by the bloc's citizens. Mr Cameron said Parliament's sovereignty was "already asserted" in the Referendum Act - the legislation paving the way for the in-out vote - which prevents "significant" powers being passed to Brussels without UK voters being consulted in a referendum. But he added: "If it's necessary to do that again, in more detail, to make it even clearer to people that our Parliament is sovereign... I think there's a good case for it and so we'll look very carefully at it." Explained: What David Cameron wants from the EU negotiations Guide: All you need to know about the referendum Analysis: Latest from the BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler More: BBC News EU referendum special report Mr Cameron refused to be drawn on whether Mr Gove, the justice secretary, had been tasked with looking at introducing a new law, saying instead that "the whole government is working together on these plans". He added: "If you're a Conservative you don't like big government and so you're automatically very suspicious of Brussels. I am very suspicious of Brussels." "I would never belong to a European Union if I felt in some way that that was bad for British institutions, for British democracy." Asked if such a deal would be acceptable to Eurosceptic Conservatives, such as Boris Johnson, Mr Cameron said he was sure everyone would assess the outcome of his renegotiations, which, he said, were designed to boost competitiveness, exempt the UK from "ever-closer union" and deal with immigration pressures. Part of the city centre was closed off while top-of-the range sports cars raced through the streets. Military-style vehicles and helicopters could also be seen. Directed by Michael Bay, Transformers: The Last Knight - the fifth instalment of the franchise - stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mark Wahlberg and is due to be released in cinemas in June. Northumberland has also been used for shooting parts of the movie, with the castles at Alnwick and Bamburgh taken over earlier in the week. Streets in Newcastle city centre were closed off with much of the action, including a chase sequence, taking place around Grey's Monument. One family travelled from Edinburgh to watch the action. Richard, Avril and Noah Riddell set off at 03:00 BST to arrive in time. Superfan Noah, nine, said: "My dad made me this Optimus Prime costume. I've won prizes with it. "I managed to get someone to sign my helmet." His father said: "We spoke to the cast, it was brilliant. You see them on TV but you never expect to see them in real life." "It just never stopped. It was going really fast, and the terminal was basically the brake for the train," passenger Nancy Bido said. Officials have not yet said how fast the train was moving when it collided with the station. "It simply did not stop," radio host John Minko, who witnessed the crash, told local media. "It went right through the barriers and into the reception area." "It was a mass scramble to get away from the scene," Mr Minko added. Linda Albelli, 62, said she was seated in one of the rear cars when the train approached the station. "I noticed, 'he's not slowing up, we're going too fast,' and with that there was this tremendous crash," she told ABC News. Rich Scardaville said the train approached the station normally, but it suddenly "lurched forward at the last minute.'' Then, he said, there was an "ungodly loud bang, like an explosion" before the lights went off and "everyone went flying". Jamie Weatherhead-Saul said the train was "extremely packed, more packed than it has been in weeks. There were people whose faces were sliced open, eyes swollen, gashes to their face". "My biggest fear was that someone was dead," she continued. "In that moment, that was life or death. There was no indication whether the train was actually going to stop." Passenger Bhagyesh Shah, who boarded in nearby Secaucus, said that the first two cars of the train were particularly crowded because that makes for an easy exit upon arrival at the Hoboken station. Passengers in the second car broke the emergency windows to get out, he said. "The next thing I know, we are ploughing through the platform," Mr Shah told NBC New York. "It was for a couple seconds, but it felt like an eternity." "I saw a woman pinned under concrete," Shah added. "A lot of people were bleeding. One guy was crying." Moray MP Angus Robertson says he has been told by an "impeccable source" at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) the former air station could be closed. The MoD is carrying out a review of its property portfolio and land no longer needed is being sold off and the money raised invested in the armed forces. Kinloss is not among sites named in the review and the MoD said no decisions have been made about future ones. Earlier this year, the SNP raised concerns that Fort George near Ardersier could be closed as a military barracks as part of defence cuts. Mr Robertson said the closure of Kinloss Barracks would be "a betrayal" of promises made to people in Moray following the decision end of the site's life as an RAF station. RAF Kinloss was home to Nimrod surveillance aircraft before all of those stationed there were retired in 2010 and new planes were scrapped. The site closed as an air station in 2012 and the Army now occupies the former air station. RAF personnel and jet aircraft continue to operate from nearby RAF Lossiemouth. Mr Robertson said: "At that time the UK government promised an army presence at the base and for that to be under threat in such a short space of time is totally unacceptable. "Moray's communities have been massively supportive of our military personnel based both at Lossiemouth and Kinloss." A spokesperson for the MoD said: "MoD land currently spans about half a million football pitches. "We are looking to sell what we don't need so new homes can be built on it. "Every penny made will be invested back into defence on things like the new maritime aircraft at Lossiemouth or the new destroyers being built on the Clyde. "We've currently named 22 sites but no decisions about future ones have been taken." The 22 sites are all in England, except Craigiehall, an Army headquarters in Edinburgh. Mistrust is still part of the political scene with three candidates - the latest, Charles Konan Banny, on Friday - withdrawing from the contest, citing concerns about the election process as their reason for doing so. Other candidates have predicted massive vote rigging. Incumbent President Alassane Ouattara: A trained economist and former International Monetary Fund executive, Mr Ouattara is the candidate of the ruling Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace coalition. He once served as prime minister, and before that as governor of the Central Bank of West African States. Aged 73, he has promised not to seek a third term if re-elected. He has also promised lower taxes and to "lighten the social burden". Pascal Affi N'Guessan is the candidate for Mr Gbagbo's opposition Ivorian Popular Front (FPI), and was prime minister from 2000 to 2003. The 62-year-old telecommunications engineer is under fire from an FPI faction which wants Mr Gbagbo as their candidate despite him awaiting trial for alleged crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Mr N'Guessan's campaign message has been that Mr Gbagbo should be released, and analysts feel that calling for this at every turn strengthens his position with the party faithful. Kouadio Konan Bertin, 47, is an MP and was once youth leader in the former ruling Democratic Party of Ivory Coast. He has pledged to bring home thousands of Ivorian political dissidents living in exile "so that we can wash our dirty linen at home". Mr Ouattara seems likely to win. Ivorian newspaper Fraternite Matin suggests his development programmes will work in his favour and that "the opposition can be considered fractured". Satirical Ivorian newspaper Gbich believes Mr Ouattara will win because his campaign machine has covered the entire country, unlike his rivals' efforts. The election will be overseen by the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI), chaired by Youssouf Bakayoko, a former foreign minister, despite calls from the opposition for him to be dismissed for alleged bias. The CEI says it has registered more than 6.3 million voters out of a population of slightly more than 22 million. All Ivorians over 18 may vote, including expatriates. The president is elected by an absolute majority popular vote in two rounds if needed. Insecurity remains a serious threat partly because some former rebels did not surrender their weapons, and partly because of the widespread availability of illegal firearms. The government says about 10,000 firearms have been recovered from civilians since November 2011, but the number still in circulation is unknown. Another worry is the threat of Islamist terror attacks in the wake of raids in June on the Malian villages of Fakola and Misseni, which border Ivory Coast to the north. Ansar Dine, which along with other al-Qaeda-linked groups took over control of northern Mali for several months in 2012 and 2013, said it was behind the attacks. Kouadio Konan Bertin has accused the government of planning "massive rigging" and of preparing a tailor-made voters' roll to register its supporters. However, President Ouattara has pledged a "peaceful, democratic and transparent" poll. "Ivory Coast would like to set an example after the (2010) post-electoral crisis," he has said, but Ivorians must overcome their voter apathy first.

Ten-year-old thoroughbred Al Co has been given odds of 25-1 after his shock 40-1 win at the 2014 Scottish Grand National. His owner, Bangor-on-Dee businessman Frank Lloyd, said he hopes his horse stands a good chance despite his usual jockey suffering a broken leg. It has been 110 years since a Welsh-trained horse won The Grand National. "Al Co is a good horse who jumps well but he has his own wild racing," said Mr Lloyd, who owns a warehousing and transport company in Wrexham. "If we can get a place I would be delighted and if we can win it would be fantastic," he added. Mr Lloyd has been involved in the sport for 40 years but it is the first time one of his horses has raced at the Aintree Grand National. Media playback is unsupported on your device 22 May 2015 Last updated at 03:15 BST Parents push their children relentlessly, with classes in the evenings and at weekends. It's led to some teachers earning very high salaries, particularly to teach English. The BBC's Steve Evans, in Seoul, met one of them. Watch more reports on Asia Business Report's website Media playback is not supported on this device Champion fought cancer to win the world's most famous steeplechase at Aintree on his injury-plagued mount in 1981, and has been a tireless fundraiser ever since. He was given the Helen Rollason Award for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity at the 2011 BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards. "It's absolutely amazing, a great honour. I was shocked when I heard about it," the 63-year-old said. Champion overcame debilitating bouts of chemotherapy and months in hospital to triumph in the gruelling National over four-and-a-half miles and 30 demanding fences, and his story was made into the movie Champions where John Hurt played his character. The jockey helped set up the Bob Champion Cancer Trust in 1983, which has since gone on to raise in excess of £12m for research into male cancers and has its own laboratory at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where he was treated. "We initially had a few thousand pounds sent in from people who won money on the horse. There were a lot of fivers here and there," said Champion, who lives in Newmarket, Suffolk. "They sent money to me care of the Royal Marsden. My doctor, Professor Sir Michael Peckham, and the horse's owner Nick Embiricos, thought it would be a good idea to set up a cancer trust. "To go back to the hospital now and see scientists working in our research laboratory is fantastic to see. "I had testicular cancer and was told I had a 35-40% chance of living. I thought it was a death sentence. Now the chances are 95% if it's caught early enough. "In my time the chemotherapy was barbaric. I was sick 24 hours a day - it was awful, but now there are better anti-sickness drugs." In 2010, Champion raised £100,000 as he covered 17,500 miles visiting all 60 racecourses in the UK over 60 racedays. His previous efforts have included a horse ride from Buckingham Palace to Liverpool. Champion had dreamed of success in the Grand National since he was a boy watching black and white repeats of the contest on Pathe News at the cinema days after the race had been run. "It was a race I always wanted to win. When I was in hospital some days having chemotherapy, I felt like giving up," he said. "But I kept giving myself goals and thought hopefully I would get back and ride in a National. "Aldaniti had problems with his legs and joints and always seemed to be on the injury list. He was in plaster in his stable for six months, and I was in and out of hospital for seven months. "The vets wanted to put him down but they must have listened to me when I said he would win the National one day. What's not always been quite so well documented in Bob Champion's inspirational story is the bit that followed his riding career. Champion's raised all these millions not by sitting around waiting for donations, but by blood, sweat and tears, not so long ago completing an ambitious fund-raising walking tour of the country's racetracks. As a jockey, he was renowned for being hard and uncompromising, and in the ongoing battle against cancer, he lives up to that reputation, something that is justly recognised here. "Maybe they gave him a chance to give me a little bit of hope in hospital. Thankfully, we got there together. "The horse was eventually sound and he went from being an outsider to being second favourite. I suppose there was a lot of public money looking for a fairy story, and it came true." Trainer Josh Gifford still finds it hard to talk about the triumph without shedding a tear. "Josh's loyalty was unbelievable. He always said the job was there when I came back. Whether he actually thought I would, I don't know," said Champion. "Whenever the old horse's name comes up, he gets very emotional." Champion said the day after the National, when Aldaniti was paraded near Gifford's stables in Findon, West Sussex, brought the triumph home to him. "The next day meant more to me, because thousands and thousands came to see the horse," he said. "Some had travelled through the night. People came down from Scotland and one couple travelled over from France. "That was really touching. It was the horse who did the work. I had the enjoyable bit." Champion's story is known all over the globe thanks to the movie. "I was really honoured to be played by John Hurt," said Champion who won the Sports Personality Team of the Year award with Aldaniti 30 years ago. "I promoted the film around the world so God knows how many people have seen it. I went to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Tokyo and South Africa, as well as Europe." Champion says he is in good health despite a heart attack in March, which came exactly 10 years to the day after a previous heart scare, and does not tire of recalling his remarkable story. "I still get emotional about it, although I might not show it. It was not just coming back from the cancer, it was a lifelong dream," he said. Ameet Gill, who ran Downing Street events planning for the former prime minister, called it "probably the dumbest economic policy" possible. The measure is now law and also applies to VAT and national insurance. At the time Labour described it as a "last-minute gimmick", saying it would make it harder to tackle the deficit. But before the election, Mr Cameron said: "I have seen the books. I know what needs to be done." Working people had "paid enough tax" and should "be able to keep more of the money to spend as you choose," he added. With the government's so-called "five-year tax lock" in place, the basic rate of income tax - subject to variations in people's personal allowances - will remain at 20% until after the next general election, scheduled for May 2020. And the rate stays at 40% for earnings between £43,001 and £150,000 and 45% for earnings above that. National Insurance and VAT rates are also not allowed to rise until 2020. Mr Gill, who was in charge of the "Grid", outlining Downing Street's planning agenda, from 2011 to 2015, told BBC Radio 4's Week in Westminster: "Sometimes when a vacuum is there, it makes the government do some stupid things. "When I was in government, we made some announcements on the hoof just to fill that vacuum." He added: "Towards the end of the general election campaign in 2015, we did the five-year tax lock. It's when we committed to put in legislation that we would not increase taxes. "It was probably the dumbest economic policy that anyone could make, but we kind of cooked it up on the hoof a couple of days before, because we had a hole in the grid and we needed to fill it." In its 2015 general election manifesto, launched on 14 April of that year, the Conservative Party promised "no increases in VAT, income tax or national insurance". Two weeks later, Mr Cameron added to this when he gave a speech promising to create a law preventing ministers from going back on this pledge. The tax lock is now law until 2020, when the next election is scheduled to happen, unless Parliament votes to overturn it. For Labour, then shadow chancellor Ed Balls said before the last election that he doubted the Conservatives could meet their target of balancing the government's books by 2020 - and that the tax lock would make this more difficult. Chancellor Philip Hammond has since dropped the deficit target, arguing it will be tackled "in due course". Week in Westminster is on BBC Radio 4 from 11:00 BST and is available after broadcast on the BBC iPlayer and the programme's own website. "We consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that." That stern statement outlining President Trump's budget plans to cut spending on global warming in the US and around the world will disappoint the 6,000 people who live in the swampy Indonesian village of Cendi Manik. They may not have heard much about the detail of the president's new financial priorities but they do know that US money has made a massive difference to their lives and livelihoods. Climate change is driving up sea levels around this coastal habitation on the island of Lombok - but with funding from the US government through USAID, the World Neighbors NGO has helped residents of the village to plant 11,000 mangroves that have limited the worst impacts of tidal flooding. The new trees not only help control the waters but they have also boosted supplies of shellfish and crabs, which are important sources of income when floods hit other crops. Tourism is also beginning to develop in the area. The mangrove operation caught the attention of Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. So impressed were they that they've allocated funding to procure and plant another 120,000 tree seedlings to cover almost 10 hectares of threatened coastline. US funding for Cendi Manik amounts to only a few thousand dollars and while it has been extended for another year, with USAID facing cuts of around one third of its budget, the future is highly uncertain. "We only have funding through 2018, but after that it's very unclear," said Dr Kate Schecter, World Neighbors CEO. "It's not just about reducing climate change or poverty, it contributes to stability, it enhances the livelihoods of the people in these villages." "It's the country with the biggest Muslim population in the world, we have a strong relationship with them, Indonesia is an important ally for the US in Asia. "If the village is destroyed by the sea all of these goals are null and void." These arguments about the impact of climate change on political stability echo statements made by US Defence Secretary James Mattis in written testimony to his confirmation hearing. Observers are also concerned that lesser known international bodies that deal with aspects of climate change might also be affected. The Climate and Clean Air Coalition was set up to reduce short-lived climate pollutants. It is involved in work to reduce methane emissions from rice fields and trying to agree international fuel standards for heavy trucks. The US is a significant financial contributor. According to Dr Andrew Light, a former senior climate change adviser at the US State Department, programmes like this may be in danger. Now working at the World Resources Institute, Dr Light says the cuts may have severe long-term impacts for the US position in the world. "I would argue that these would accelerate global destabilisation as well as seriously undermine America's strategic interests," he told BBC News. "By cutting directly a bunch of programmes, how much influence is the US is going to lose in all these countries around the world that do get it? "The US might have ideological blinkers on now but the rest of the planet doesn't." Dr Schecter has just come back from a visit to the mangrove project in Indonesia, one of 35 villages her organisation is involved with in the region. She is clear in her view of the proposed budget cuts. "I am very concerned about this type of xenophobic hunkering in and denying what's happening around the world. "It will be disastrous on many levels." Follow Matt on Twitter and on Facebook. He said there were "elements" within the White House trying to eject Mr Trump, and he had "named some names". Mr Scaramucci spoke to ABC News for the first time since being sacked last month - after just 10 days in office. It followed a phone recording in which he strongly attacked then-White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. He also directed profanity-laced insults at Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. Mr Scaramucci said he had thought the interview was off the record, and he had "paid the consequences for that conversation". "What happens in Washington... is the president is not a representative of the political establishment class, so for whatever reason the people have made a decision that they want to eject him," he told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Sunday. "I think there are elements inside of Washington, also inclusive in the White House, that are not necessarily abetting the president's interests or his agenda." However, he said the president needed to bring in "more loyalists" in order to carry out his agenda. The Wall Street financier criticised the influence of Mr Bannon and the right-wing Breitbart News website, which he helped to launch. He suggested the president needed to move more towards the mainstream and moderates in order to push through "a very successful legislative agenda". Mr Scaramucci made a lasting impact in his short term in office, triggering a White House shake-up that saw the departure of both Mr Priebus and spokesman Sean Spicer.

And Ramsay ensured Scotland added further to their medal haul when she pinned down Cameroon fighter Paule Sitcheping. The Renicks sisters, Kimberley and Louise, won the host nation's first gold medals with victory in the -48kg and -52kg category respectively. Northern Ireland's Lisa Kearney continued the home nations dominance in the SECC by beating Canada's Audree Francis-Methot to claim bronze in the women's -52kg class.

London-born McKenzie, 25, who beat Buchanan on his way to the final, claimed a shido penalty victory over India's Navjot Chana after an edgy contest to take the top prize. Norfolk's Oates, 31, who is ranked seventh in the world and was firm favourite going into these Games, defeated Andreas Krassas of Cyprus with a quick throw and armlock combination. And Davis, who is based at British Judo's centre of excellence in Walsall, capped a superb night for England by scoring a Waza-ari throw, which she followed up with a 25-second hold-down to clinch the title. Centre Garry Ringrose's superb break set up an early opening try for visiting skipper Isa Nacewa. Robin Copeland crashed over for Munster's reply just before half-time to leave them trailing 10-7. Jack McGrath scored under the posts to earn Leinster a 10-point lead and Zane Kirchner got a late interception try. It meant a fifth straight defeat in all competitions for Munster. To make matters worse for Anthony Foley's charges, international winger Keith Earls was carried off wearing a neck brace late in the first half. Leinster stunned the hosts with an early try, as the fit-again Sean O'Brien sent Ringrose raiding down the right wing, the youngster leaving two forwards for dead before passing for Nacewa to finish by the posts. Ian Madigan converted and then landed a penalty following an advancing Leinster maul controlled by the impressive O'Brien. Munster got the boost they needed just before the interval when flanker Copeland scrambled over from a ruck just in front of the posts and Rory Scannell converted. Leinster were under pressure in the second half but emerged to score their second try as McGrath burrowed over from a close-in ruck. The icing on the cake came when Kirchner gobbled up a Francis Saili pass and sprinted clear from his 10-metre line. Leinster coach Leo Cullen: "I am not sure 24-7 reflected the game because we were hanging in there at times. "The guys showed great spirit and endeavour in defending. We stood up to it really well. "The lads were a bit light in confidence so it was nice to get this result." Munster: Conway, Earls, Saili, R. Scannell, Zebo, Bleyendaal, O'Leary, Cronin, Sherry, J. Ryan, Foley, D.

Referee: David Wilkinson (Ireland) Judges, dancers and celebrity contestants strutted their stuff outside the BBC's Broadcasting House in London ahead of this year's series, which begins with a launch show on BBC One on 9 September. Saturdays singer Mollie King joined actor Joe McFadden on a dais festooned with glitter and shiny ticker tape. King said she had yet to seek advice from bandmate Frankie Bridge, a Strictly contestant in 2014, but said she would "definitely be on the phone" asking for tips. The Reverend Richard Coles showed off some impressive dance moves as he sashayed down the red carpet with newsreader Charlotte Hawkins. "I'm not sure if they're going to be good for anyone but I'm releasing them," he told the BBC's Lizo Mzimba. "They're bubbling up from within like a volcano." Presenter Debbie McGee, whose late husband Paul Daniels competed on Strictly in 2010, got a lift from the show's male dancers at Monday's launch event. "I'm just going to make sure I enjoy it," said the TV presenter who, at 58, is the oldest contestant in this year's line-up. "I don't think there's any other way to do it." Former glamour model Gemma Atkinson, meanwhile, got a lift of her own from actor and comedian Brian Conley. "I'm happy to wear whatever they wish as long as it isn't too revealing," said Conley, adding he would be "happy to be sprayed" if a fake tan was required. New Strictly judge Shirley Ballas made her first appearance alongside series regulars Craig Revel-Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli. "At the moment I don't feel any pressure but we'll see on the night," said the international ballroom champion, who is taking over from the departing Len Goodman. Actress Chizzy Akudolu, comedian Susan Calman and presenter Ruth Langsford donned a variety of bold colours as they posed for photographs. "I haven't worn a dress or heels since I was 17 and I'm 42 now so this is a huge change," said Calman, adding that she would need "a slightly shorter gentleman" as a professional dancing partner. Pop star Alexandra Burke and Paralympian athlete Jonnie Peacock were among the other celebrity contestants facing the cameras. Peacock, the first celebrity hopeful to have a disability, said it was "really awesome" the show has asked him to participate. "We need more inclusion," he told the BBC. Co-hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly were also on hand to launch the first series of Strictly to air since the death of former presenter Sir Bruce Forsyth. Daly had previously said she was "heartbroken" by his death, calling him "a gentleman and a true legend". "We really want to make him proud," said Mollie King at the launch show. "He has been such a huge part of Strictly so for us we just want to really give it our all." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Robson-Kanu is set to miss Wales' final warm-up game with Sweden due to a leg injury, but says he will be fit for Wales' opener on 11 June in Bordeaux. He is joined on the sidelines by injured pair Joe Allen and Joe Ledley. "I have a training schedule to build up for the Euros and I will be very good to go for the [Slovakia] game," Robson-Kanu told BBC Radio Wales Sport. "I am feeling good in myself, I picked up a little knock but I am just managing it now," he continued. "I am stepping up my training over the next few days. The aim is to be fit for that first game." Manager Chris Coleman, who recently signed a new deal to remain national team coach, has dismissed concerns over the fitness of Gareth Bale who was just suffering from cramp at the end of the Champions League final. Midfielder Emyr Huws and striker Wes Burns will travel to France with the Wales camp to provide cover for the injured players. Former Reading striker Robson-Kanu, who is a free agent this summer, is hopeful all of Wales' injured players will be in contention to start the tournament, their first major finals appearance since 1958. Meanwhile, Allen has been ruled out of the trip to Stockholm, while Ledley is still recovering from a fractured leg suffered on 7 May. "We have got professionals on the medical team who advise us and direct us so we are good and fully fit for the tournament, so we will see how it goes," Robson-Kanu said. "It is great to have Joe Ledley around, I think everyone was fearing the worst when we heard the news, but he has made a bit of a miraculous recovery and by the time the first game comes around, hopefully everyone is fully fit and ready to go." The 27-year-old former Arsenal trainee says it will be a big error if Wales underestimate Slovakia, ahead of their hotly-anticipated meeting with Roy Hodgson's England, who face Russia in their opening Group B clash. Slovakia are without top scorer Robert Vittek, but do have Premier League representation in Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel. Slovakia defeated world champions Germany in their latest warm-up before France. "Every team here has qualified, there will be no mugs, there is going to be a lot of quality in the tournament," Robson-Kanu added, "Martin Skrtel is a top player, but we will be looking to expose their weaknesses and work on our strength. "Walking out in the first game will be a special feeling but we feel 1-11 we are as strong as anyone." The interior decorator told police that the bodyguard punched him and tied him up at the princess's chic apartment in Avenue Foch on 26 September. Quoted by French media, the alleged victim said he was assaulted after taking photos inside the apartment. The whereabouts of the princess, who has diplomatic immunity, are unknown. Police have now visited the apartment. The princess's name has not been confirmed. According to the 53-year-old interior decorator, the princess got angry with him for taking photos which she suspected he wanted to sell to the media. He said he needed the photos for the planned refurbishment of the apartment. The bodyguard's lawyer, quoted by Le Point, said his client had only used a standard restraint technique on the workman. He denied the claim that he had "beaten him up". The report, published by the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee stated that those employed by the retailer - one of the biggest in Europe - were "not treated as humans". A spokesman for Sports Direct said: "We will study the contents of the Committee's report very carefully. It is our policy to treat all our people with dignity and respect. "We are pleased to see that the Committee has recognised Mike Ashley's commitment to engage in addressing any shortcomings in the working practices at Sports Direct." Former workers at the firm have spoken to the BBC about their experiences. Katrina Kelly worked at Sports Direct for six years "It was a horrible place to work," she insisted. "There were several occasions that I believe we were treated extremely inappropriately by the powers-that-be. "Our shop would close at 8pm weekdays," she said. "We were only paid until 8pm, even if we were often still mopping and cleaning at 9pm." Katrina remembers one particularly bad stock-take shift when she was 17 years old. "I started work at 8am, and worked through until 4am when I was only allowed an hour's break for the whole shift." After Katrina had been with the company for three years, she said they set up a fingerprint-scanning system for people to sign into and out of work. "The fingerprint scan matched with your staff ID number. They then introduced a rule that if you were one minute late you were deducted 15 minutes of pay. "We also had to buy our uniforms out of our own wages. It would be deducted from our payslips." The inconsistency of shifts was also a big problem for her. "Sometimes on my zero-hours contract, I would end up working for 10 days in a row, for 10 hours a day. On other weeks I would get given only one three-hour shift the whole week. There was no routine." Adrian Walker had a positive experience with the firm Adrian Walker worked for the company between 1996 and 1998. "It was a lovely place to work." he says. "I worked in stock control when the head office and warehouse were in Dunstable." Adrian met Mike Ashley once or twice a week, and insists that he was treated well both by other staff and by Mr Ashley. "He was always very nice when he came in. He knew most people by name, although it was obviously a smaller company then. He often gave me cash to go and get McDonalds for everyone. "Mr Ashley very rarely spoke to store employees but I never heard any bad stories like we hear now." Sophie worked for the company three years ago Sophie, 23, from Essex, began working at the Sports Direct store in Chelmsford around three years ago. "When I went for my interview, I explained that I suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome. The interviewer said I would be able to have a stool to perch on at the till, if I needed to." She said that this promise was not fulfilled when she began work. Sophie also says the staff were only expected to use the bathroom at certain intervals. "If we went to the toilet more than once every four hours we were called into the manager's office and questioned," she said. "I lasted six days before I quit." Kevin Newton was a security guard at Sports Direct Kevin Newton worked for the firm in Mansfield for three years. He says he had to search staff when they left work. "The search procedure was particularly degrading for the women who worked there," he said. "They often had to remove some of their clothing before they were allowed to leave, even down to their underwear sometimes, at the request of their managers." By Daniel Avis, UGC and Social News Team Avenida Brasil has become such an unprecedented phenomenon that even President Dilma Rousseff felt obliged to change her work plans for the evening. Brazilians are known to take their soap operas or novelas seriously, but this one has even surpassed another national passion, exceeding audiences for a recent football final. As well as being a compelling watch, the show is notable for putting Brazil's growing middle class centre stage where in the past it was the lives of the super wealthy which dominated. Faced with such competition for attention, it was no surprise President Rousseff cancelled plans to attend an important local election rally in Sao Paulo, fearing the turn-out would be a fiasco. With episodes of Avenida Brasil attracting 50% of the viewing public, common political sense dictated it would be better to address the party faithful on another occasion. For the climax, restaurants and bars are holding events in many cities and bets are being placed to find out the plot's final mystery: "Who killed Max?" Avenida Brasil employs the usual high levels of melodrama, combined with an intricate story based on a little girl who comes back as an adult to avenge the death of her father. Viewers have been gripped by the battle between Rita and a now legendary villain, Carminha, the evil stepmother who abandoned her in a landfill site as a child. Meanwhile Brazil's so-called "new middle class" is relishing its place in the spotlight in Avenida Brasil. The typically rich, aristocratic protagonists of the Brazilian novelas, often with living standards which 99% of the public can only dream of, have been put to one side. Instead they made way for loud, adorably unrefined suburban characters in the leading roles - and the minor parts as well. It was seen as a shrewd move by Rede Globo - the TV channel that dominates the Brazilian soap opera industry - shifting onto territory closer to its biggest audience. With the growth of the Brazilian economy and wider availability of credit and government cash transfer programmes, 35 million people have in recent years joined an expanded middle class. Today it not only accounts for more than half of the Brazilian population but has also become the country's largest and most coveted consumer market. According to research institute Data Popular, this group owns half of Brazil's credit cards and has spent one trillion Brazilian reais ($US490bn; £300bn) last year alone. Avenida Brasil has succeeded in attracting this section of the population, triggering a wave of consumption that advertisers dream about. The scantily-dressed character of Suelen has had women flocking to popular shops seeking versions of her earrings and clothes. The hair salon owned by Monalisa launched, within the soap opera, a hair product made to be sold in real life. It is now available in shops with the character's name. The novela is so successful because lots of effort was put into understanding the behaviour of the new middle class, their clothes, values and aspirations, says the Director of Data Popular, Renato Meirelles. "It reflects a middle class that wants to see itself portrayed. It's different to the nouveau riche portrayed in the past, who wanted to hide their origins," he says. "These characters are proud of their origins," says Meirelles, citing the character of Tufao, a successful football player from the suburbs who sticks to his neighbourhood when he became rich. The story is set in an imaginary district in the suburbs called Divino, where everyone knows each other, hangs out at the local bar and gossips about their neighbour's latest indiscretions. It is a long way - both culturally and geographically - from the southern zone of Rio, where the beaches and richer neighbourhoods are well known to tourists. Instead the show reflects the reality of the north of the city, an area crossed by Avenida Brasil, the main highway that leads from the outskirts of the city and across the suburbs into central Rio. When the hairdresser of the novela decides to try out the south zone and live in exclusive Ipanema, she complains that the men are too fussy and the neighbours don't know each other. Before long she has headed back to her comfort zone. "When we portrayed poor people, they were always dreaming of leaving their suburbs and striking it rich," Ricardo Waddington, co-ordinator of Avenida Brasil, told the daily newspaper Folha de São Paulo. "But now we want to show a place that, in spite of being poor, is cheerful and warm, a place where there can be prosperity." Mr Meirelles says Brazil's elite has had two different reactions. On the one hand, a more traditional group sees it as story-telling and finds it funny. But among the wealthy are also people with humble origins, and they enjoy it the most, he believes. "Over 40% of people in the upper classes are actually the first generation of people with money in the family. "People who grew rich through their own sweat and therefore have an A-class pocket but a C-class taste. So they see themselves in the novela and delight in it." Globo TV appears so pleased with the outcome it seems to want to extend the formula. Its next novela will be set in a shanty town or favela which was recently occupied by police as part of a "pacification" programme in advance of the World Cup and Olympics. The Australian's beautifully executed finish was one of the few moments of quality in a match that, at times, had the feel of a Championship encounter. Newcastle looked threatening in attack but they lacked a good final ball. Bar a superb save from Matt Ritchie, Danish goalkeeper Jonas Lossl did not have to repeat his heroics at Crystal Palace on the opening weekend. It is now two defeats in two league games for Rafael Benitez's Newcastle, and with time running out in the transfer window the Toon Army might have to endure another nail-biting season. Premier League debutants Huddersfield looked far more confident in possession and did much to trouble Newcastle's back four if not goalkeeper Rob Elliot, with Tom Ince's first-half snap-shot their only other effort of note. Mooy, the midfielder from Sydney, seems to have found his home at Huddersfield, having seen his career take him from St Mirren to Melbourne. He scored only four goals in last season's promotion campaign, but it was his pressing, endless energy and quality of passing that saw him named the club's player of the season. The 26-year-old appears to be playing a more advanced position this season, and against Newcastle he produced more passes in the opposition half than any of his team-mates. Manager David Wagner will have been pleased with his work rate, and delighted with his 50th-minute goal. Media playback is not supported on this device Mooy drove forward and played a one-two with Elias Kachunga before placing a superb shot beyond the reach of Elliot. The win moves the Yorkshire club level on points with leaders Manchester United. The momentum is on Huddersfield's side and they will fancy their chances of making it three wins out of three when they host Southampton next weekend. Media playback is not supported on this device Newcastle fans will be thinking history is repeating. Like their 2015-16 relegation season, there has been a lack of movement in the transfer window, which has disheartened the Toon Army. Injuries to key defenders Paul Dummett and Florian Lejeune against Tottenham last week - and the straight red for captain Jonjo Shelvey - came at a bad time for a squad already lacking quality in depth. Against Huddersfield they were shaky at the back and lacked a cutting edge up top. However, the second-half cameo of £5m signing Joselu no doubt lifted some of the travelling fans. The Spanish striker, who failed to settle at Stoke, held the ball up well to provide a useful attacking outlet. He also produced a scuffed effort that needed Lossl to dive low and push away. It was an easy save, though. Benitez's side face fellow early-season strugglers West Ham at home next week. Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "I am very happy and proud the players followed our idea to keep Newcastle as far away from our goal as possible. We gave no big chances away and our defence was very sharp. "We had one magic moment from Mooy, enough to win the game. I am delighted with the performance and result. "We got promoted at Wembley but we have started the season with two wins and six points. This is unbelievable. Everybody has invested so much and I am happy for them." Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "You cannot make too many mistakes in the Premier League. We made one mistake, gave Mooy too much time on the ball and we conceded. "You have to take your chances. We tried to create more chances after the Matt Ritchie effort. The reaction from the team was good to going behind. "We are at the beginning and we have to keep going. The only way to improve is to train harder." Huddersfield are at home to Southampton in the league next Saturday, while the Magpies face West Ham at St James' Park on the same day (both 15:00 BST).

Luis was sent off for a first-half challenge on Lionel Messi described by Barca coach Luis Enrique as "shocking". Godin received a second caution for a late challenge on Luis Suarez, who earlier scored the winning goal. Atletico coach Simeone said: "I have nothing to reproach them for." Even with nine men Atletico were not overwhelmed by the champions but Simeone admitted Barcelona may be difficult to catch in the title race. He added: "They have players who decide games, a three-point lead, and a game to play. The league is long, but they don't stumble very much. "I am proud of my team. It kept its character throughout. You can win, or you can lose, and I choose to lose this way any day. "They had two chances and scored on both, and even playing with nine we put a late scare into them.'' Barcelona are unbeaten in La Liga since early October but despite pulling clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, Enrique insists a successful title defence is not a formality. He said: "It is clear it is an important day for us to pick up three points against our closest rivals, but there is a long way to go. "Every game presents its difficulties and you don't always overcome them in the most effective or spectacular way." Nicolao Dumitru has also joined on a season-long loan from Napoli. Gambia international Carayol, 27, and 27-year-old Carneiro - known as Lica - both join the Championship side on free transfers. Striker Dumitru, 24, netted seven times in 34 appearances while on loan with Serie B side Latina in Italy last term. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Dimitar Evtimov has joined Portuguese side SC Olhanense on a season-long loan and striker Lars Veldwijk has joined Belgian side KV Kortrijk on a permanent deal.

The park was evacuated after paramedics found Mr Crockett in a chalet with a suicide note alongside the improvised bomb. Crockett, of Falkirk, admitted making the device at a hearing in December. The High Court in Livingston heard that the amateur bomb was assembled using an after-shave tin, screws, fire-work parts and sugar. Staff at the holiday park raised the alarm after Mr Crockett failed to check out of his lodge on 4 February 2015. It sparked a major incident involving police, a special response team and the bomb disposal unit. The hospitality manager had left a suicide note on the door of his chalet saying the nail bomb was intended for social workers in London. The court was told Mr Crockett had suffered an emotional breakdown and was angry at members of his own family. The judge, Lord Armstrong, described the bomb as "amateurish or even inept" and accepted it was unlikely to explode fully. But he said the gravity of the offence meant he had no alternative but to impose a custodial sentence. Her tweet to a disgruntled owner of a Samsung fridge has gone viral in India and generated a spate of responses. "Brother I cannot help you in matters of a Refrigerator. I am very busy with human beings in distress," Ms Swaraj tweeted to user @M_VenkatM. The minister often responds to users who reach out to her for help. As the tweet gathered traction among people, many congratulated the minister for her response: Others suggested their own innovative solutions to the problem - the user below offered the services of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who once protested against high electricity prices by reconnecting power lines of those who had been unable to pay their bills: But a few more users jumped at the opportunity to ask the minister for help with other "pressing issues": And as the debate raged on about why a foreign minister would be the best person to approach for refrigerator problems, a few users offered these insights: Sushma Swaraj has a reputation for responding to Indians overseas who are in need of diplomatic assistance. However, there has been at least one post accusing the minister of ignoring requests for help and trying to build social media popularity instead. The minister has not tweeted again, despite the storm created by her initial response. But then again, as she said, she is a busy woman. Many will have finished exams by polling day on 8 June and will not be at their term-time address. Those registered to vote at their term address are advised to think about their options. These include registering at a new address, voting by proxy and postal voting. Other students may currently be unsure of where they will be living on polling day. The best advice to students is to check whether they will be registered to vote at their term-time address or another one and then consider what to do. The Electoral Commission says: "Students need to think about where they will be resident at the registration deadline and ensure they are registered to vote. "Students need to check where they will be registered at the registration deadline to ensure they are registered to vote at the correct address. They will also need to consider where they will actually be on 8 June so that they can cast their vote. "If students are not physically able to go to their allotted polling station, they could arrange for a postal vote or appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf - provided they do this by the postal/proxy vote deadline." The registration deadline has not been announced yet, but is likely to be around 22 May. Unlike Scottish-only elections, including May's council elections, 16 and 17-years-olds will not be able to vote. Students who live away from home face various options when it comes to registering to vote. Some will be registered to vote at their term-time address while others may prefer to be registered at their permanent home. Indeed, some may be on the voters' roll twice - once for each address. This is perfectly legal - but anyone who is registered in more than one place needs to be aware that it is against the law to vote twice in a general election. By early June, many students will have finished their exams and may have returned home. Others who live in university accommodation may have found somewhere else to stay for the summer. So, what is the advice for students who may not know just now where they will be on polling day? The challenge is similar to the one on the day of the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, which happened during Freshers' Week at some universities. Then, some students returned home especially to vote in the referendum or secured proxy or postal votes. Others who were able to sort out their term-time accommodation well in advance were able to register at that address in time. For the general election, students will face similar choices. If a student knows in good time where they will be staying on 8 June, they still have time to get on the voters' roll at that address. The alternative - which could be particularly helpful for anyone unsure of where they will be living on polling day - is to register at their permanent address then get a postal vote or arrange a proxy. More details of the various options including the deadline for registration, will be given in the coming weeks by the Electoral Commission.

Nathaniel Hamilton, 31, from Acacia Avenue, Walsall, was found guilty of attempted murder, rape and assault earlier at Birmingham Crown Court. One woman, who was 18 at the time, was left with a perforated eardrum and bruises on her neck which "were matched to the trainers Hamilton wore". Hamilton had previously been the subject of a BBC film Bad Boy about his attempts to "go straight". The court heard Hamilton attacked the women because he thought they had been unfaithful. His sentencing also took into account several other occasions when he had beaten the 18-year-old so badly she had needed hospital treatment. She was left with a perforated eardrum, severe bruising to her neck and a permanently disfigured jaw after Hamilton forced his way into her flat on 9 November last year. He dragged her on to the floor before grabbing her around the throat and strangling her until she lost consciousness, the court heard. Following the sentencing, Sgt Alisha Reavley, of West Midlands Police, said: "The force that Hamilton used could easily have killed his victim. "The degree of injury caused was so severe that bruising on her neck could be matched to the trainers that Hamilton wore. "This was the last straw for this young girl who had suffered months of abuse from Hamilton." He had also assaulted a previous ex-girlfriend after "luring her to his home under false pretences" and threatened her with what was said to be a sawn-off shotgun. "The 24-year-old was hit across the neck with the gun and strangled until she almost lost consciousness," said Sgt Reavley. "The sentence handed to Hamilton today is testament to the bravery of his victims." He will remain on the sex offenders register for life. The 2004 BBC documentary Bad Boy followed Hamilton's release from prison for a previous offence and charted his integration back into society. Odegaard joined Real in a high-profile move as a 16-year-old from Stromsgodset two years ago, having been a target for most of Europe's top sides, including Manchester United and Liverpool. But he has only played twice for Real's first team, scoring five goals in 62 third-tier games for their B team. He made his senior Norway debut at the age of 15, and has won nine caps. Media playback is not supported on this device The Electrify Africa Act of 2015 will give legal backing to Mr Obama's flagship Power Africa scheme, which is trying to improve access to electricity through public-private partnerships. It took nearly two years to be passed in both houses of the US Congress. About two-thirds of people in Africa do not have access to reliable power. Africa Live: BBC News updates Observers say the new legislation is likely to ensure that the scheme continues even after Mr Obama leaves the White House in 2017. The scheme has set itself the long-term target of doubling electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa. The legislation would "improve the lives of millions in sub-Saharan Africa by helping to reduce reliance on charcoal and other toxic fuel sources that produce fumes that kill more than HIV/Aids and malaria combined," said House Foreign Affairs committee chairman Ed Royce, a long-time supporter of the initiative. It would also "promote the development of affordable and reliable energy", he added, in a statement on Monday. Management consultant firm McKinsey estimates that it will cost $835bn (£575bn) to connect the entire continent's population to electricity by 2030. Aside from the US government, African governments, development partners, and the private sector are all involved in the Power Africa scheme. The US government has made financial commitments of $7bn to support the scheme, which it says in turn has drawn a further $43bn in investment pledged from other public and private partners. Artur Samarin, 23, enrolled at Harrisburg High under the name "Asher Potts" after his visa expired in 2012. Police say he now faces charges of theft, identity theft and tampering with public records. Mr Samarin, who was pretending to be 18, was said to be an active member of the school community. Police said he was in possession of a driver's license using the Potts name at the time of his arrest, as well as a Social Security card obtained using a false birth date. They suspect his identity was fabricated, and not stolen. Harrisburg School district official Kirsten Keys said her department was cooperating with the police. Local news outlets say he was an active student at the school. He was seen in May 2014 posing with state lawmaker Patty Kim, who tweeted a photo after presenting "Asher Potts" with a certificate introducing him as "a new member of the National Honor Society". Marcel McCaskill, who joined Mr Samarin on a seven-week science and maths programme at Penn State told AP it was "totally mind-blowing" to find out about his real identity. "Honestly, he was a very respectable guy. He was the perfect role model, someone you would want your son to look up to." He was involved in food banks and cadet programmes, according to one report, and was even on the panel of a forum discussing youth violence in the greater Harrisburg area at the start of the year.

Peter Byrne contacted the firm as tremors caused by his condition meant he kept hitting the standard controller's touchpad, pausing games. Alex Nawabi from Sony's marketing team said he would investigate. He then modified a Dual Shock 4 controller himself and sent it to Mr Byrne as a surprise. On the bespoke version, the touchpad has been disabled and its button re-routed to the back of the device. In a letter to Mr Byrne, who lives in New Jersey in the US, Mr Nawabi said it took him around 10 hours and three attempts to create his solution. He said he had undertaken the work on his own initiative and told Mr Byrne it would not be covered by the warranty. "I'm not 100% sure how long it will last, as it's the first time I've ever done anything like this," he wrote. "I have plans to build you one more controller in case this one breaks but I'd like feedback on this one first." Mr Nawabi added that Mr Byrne's email had "struck a chord" with him. "It killed me to hear how something you used to enjoy thoroughly was being ruined because of our new controller design," he wrote. Mr Byrne said he was delighted with his new controller. "Honestly, I expected them to just make a note of my issue and say 'we'll address this in the future'," he told the BBC. "It works very good so far. I have no problems and gameplay has been fine". Mr Byrne's story attracted the attention of local news outlet News12 New Jersey (subscription site) after he posted pictures of the letter and his controller on Facebook and it was shared widely. Sony has been contacted by the BBC. Hamilton's third win of the season cut his deficit to 12 points to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who finished fourth. Hamilton, who equalled his hero Ayrton Senna's mark of 65 poles on Saturday, said: "I definitely think I have been at my best this weekend. "It has been a spectacular day and the team really needed it." It was Hamilton's sixth win in Montreal in 10 races, by far his best record at any circuit and it came on the 10th anniversary of the first victory of his career. "It has been smooth," Hamilton said. "I was so happy with the qualifying lap, just beaming from ear to ear, sitting there at dinner thinking I can't believe I got 65 poles, really having to pinch myself. "Today I just really relived my first grand prix win in 2007. It has been a spectacular day. A lot different now. I am older, the crowd was actually with me as opposed to my first year when no-one knew me." The win comes after a difficult weekend for Mercedes at the last race in Monaco, where the team struggled to make the car perform and Hamilton finished seventh after qualifying 14th. Hamilton praised the team's efforts in working out what had gone wrong and fixing it for Canada. "To come away from Monaco, everyone pulled together and I don't think in five years I have ever seen them pull together like they did," he said. "We have delivered a great blow to the Ferraris. Well deserved for everyone. "They did such great work analysing what went wrong and giving us a summary and saying this is where we went wrong. "Here the car was back where it should be. I'm happy it was that early in the season, even though Monaco is a good one to win. Hopefully that shouldn't happen again." Vettel's hopes were hit when his front wing was damaged by Max Verstappen's Red Bull at the first corner, and he had to stop to replace it. He fought back through the field and said he was disappointed not to pass Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo for the final podium place at the end. "I wanted that podium but I didn't get it," he said. "It was clear with the damage we had that unless there is trouble at the front or we are extremely lucky with safety cars or whatever that it would be difficult. "I was very busy for most of the race. I enjoyed it, it was fun, it was good racing. There were some manoeuvres where I nearly wanted to close my eyes but ultimately the team and car deserved more. The pace was there. "It was a bit difficult to read. Mercedes were very strong in the race but it is also a different story when you can control the race and the pace, the tyres. I was flat out and when you are chasing other cars you lose quite a lot of grip, then you are sliding. A different race." All three main US share markets jumped more than 1%, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq index closing at a record high. Europe's main markets jumped at least 2% and the euro hit a five-month high as fears over the election eased. "Markets are taking the news out of France very positively," said David Levy, US-based investor at Republic Wealth Advisors. Centrist Emmanuel Macron topped the voting on Sunday and is strongly tipped as the eventual winner in the run-off with far-right candidate Marine Le Pen on 7 May. Investors had worried that far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon would beat Mr Macron on Sunday, giving voters a choice between two Eurosceptic candidates. In the US, the Nasdaq gained 1.2% to finish the day at 5,983.82, up about 67 points from a record set last week. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes both rose 1.1%. As in Europe, banking stocks were among the stand-out gainers. "This [election] alleviates fears that we were going to have to navigate a French exit (from) the European Union," said Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist at Wells Fargo Funds Management. "This is a classic relief rally showing up most in financials," he said. "We cleared this hurdle and now it's a little bit more clear running." France's Cac 40 share index closed 4% up, while Germany's Dax was 3.37% up. The Cac's gains took it to its highest level since the financial crisis of 2008. In London, the FTSE 100 share index ended 2% ahead. At one point, the euro rose to its highest level against the dollar since mid-November, before giving up some ground. Octavio Marenzi, chief executive of the financial research consultancy Opimas in Paris, said: "Macron will be reassuring to markets, with his pledge to lower corporate taxes and to lighten the administrative burden on firms. He basically represents continuity." Other analysts said markets had welcomed Mr Macron's large lead in opinion polls over Ms Le Pen, who has opposed the euro and France's EU membership. "Clearly investors are happy with the result as a 'Frexit' seems to be off the table," said Neil Wilson, an analyst at ETX Capital in London. "But watch for the risks to return - if Le Pen starts polling in the 40%+ bracket we will see nerves creep back in and some of these big lurches higher could be dialled back as profits are taken and investors reprice risk." European bank shares rose to their highest level since December 2015 on the improved prospects for the euro. In France, shares in Societe Generale and Credit Agricole jumped 9.86% and 10.86% respectively. In London, Barclays rose 5.4% and Standard Chartered added 4.75%. Germany's Dax broke through 12,400 points for the first time, led higher by Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank. In the US, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs were the Dow's biggest risers, gaining 3.5% and 3% respectively. As results started coming in on Sunday night, the euro jumped 2% to its highest level since 10 November, the day after the results of the US presidential election. The euro eased back later on Monday. The move left sterling down 1.3% against the euro at 1.17, while the pound dropped 0.2% versus the US dollar at 1.27. "The extent of the market reaction shows how nervous investors were, worried that the actual polls would deliver another shock result," said Steven Bell, chief economist at BMO Global Asset Management. Mr Macron, a former investment banker, served as economy minister under current President Francois Hollande. Despite his relative inexperience - he has never served as an MP - polls see him defeating Ms Le Pen in the second round. Richard McGuire, head of rates at Rabobank, said: "The assumption now is that centrist voters will rally around Macron, denying Le Pen the presidency and hence this will effectively be a pro-establishment, pro-European result." Mr Macron's defeated rival in Sunday's election, François Fillon, has already endorsed him. Other senior political figures in France, including former Prime Minister Alain Juppe, have also thrown their weight behind Mr Macron. However, Mr McGuire cautioned that, after the UK Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump in the US, no one should take anything for granted ahead of the second round on 7 May. Pro-European Mr Macron was the Socialist finance minister until the autumn, when he quit to set up the En Marche movement, which proposes tax and spending cuts. The anti-EU Ms Le Pen's campaign focused on jobs, security and the threat from Islamic extremism. Bookmakers made Mr Macron the firm favourite to win the run-off, with both Ladbrokes and Coral offering 1-6 and William Hill 1-8, with Ms Le Pen at 4-1, 7-2 and 9-2 respectively. The still shows a man wearing a jacket with a distinctive "V" on it, in an off-licence near the bus stop where the murder took place hours later. Despite previous Met Police appeals the man has never been identified. Stephen, 18, was murdered by a group of six white youths in an unprovoked attack, in Eltham, south-east London. Gary Dobson and David Norris were found guilty of his murder and sentenced to minimum terms of 15 years and two months and 14 years and three months in January 2012. The investigation into Mr Lawrence's death remains open. The Met said the potential witness was in an off-licence on Well Hall Road in Eltham at 20:00 BST on 22 April. The off-licence was 330 yards (300m) from the bus stop where Mr Lawrence was attacked two and a half hours later. Witnesses saw a man in the "V" emblem jacket near Well Hall Road roundabout at about the time Mr Lawrence was attacked, the Met said. Det Ch Insp Chris Le Pere, said he hoped the man would come forward to help police with inquiries, or to "eliminate this strand of the investigation". The image of the jacket was previously circulated to media in 1993 and again in 2013. The CCTV was "recently identified as part of a regular internal review of the case", he said, and released as a public appeal after being digitally enhanced. Mr Le Pere said: "We are hoping that over the passage of time allegiances may have changed, people may have moved away and feel more confident coming forward." He won back to back promotions in his second spell at Stevenage. But Westley's Exiles are bottom of League Two and five points from safety. "It's embarrassing, humiliating even though in your own mind you can justify that you've inherited one bad run, a team that was doing a lot of losing," he said. "You try and make a difference to it and it's painful. But I am quite philosophical. "I did believe when I walked in the door that there were missing ingredients, we've gone into January and hopefully I'm showing I mean it and I can do something about it." Since the January transfer window opened Westley has brought in eight new signings and is expecting more new arrivals before the end of the month as he bids to help them avoid relegation. "It's time for change, time for action and we are taking that action," Westley added. "We were looking at the amount of promotions there are in the camp. "Promotions get won by players who know how to win games consistently. "It was surprising how few promotions there were amongst the players at the football club. "Mickey Demetriou, of course, comes in having recently won a promotion out of League Two with Shrewsbury. "So having a player in the camp who knows what it takes to win consistently on a Saturday and a Tuesday is important." On Saturday the Exiles host Colchester with Demetriou unlikely to start. On-loan midfielder Josh Sheehan is expected to be fit after missing last weekend's defeat at Stevenage while Jamie Turley, Lenell John-Lewis and Joss Labadie all remain sidelined. Dieudonne was also fined €9,000 ($9,500; £6,300) by the court in the city of Liege. He was not in court. The comedian, who insists he is not anti-Semitic, made the remarks during a show in Liege in 2012. He has several convictions for anti-Semitism and hate speech. One of his most recent was after the attack in January on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Dieudonne rose to prominence through the invention of the "quenelle", a hand gesture critics have likened to an inverted Nazi salute. Several French cities have banned the comedian from performing. The Belgian court's judgement on Wednesday said that "all the accusations against Dieudonne were established - both incitement to hatred and hate speech but also Holocaust denial". Eric Lemmens, a lawyer for Belgium's Jewish organisations, said the guilty verdict was a "major victory". Earlier this month the European Court of Human Rights ruled against Dieudonne in a separate case. It judged that freedom of speech did not mean his performances could be racist or anti-Semitic. Dieudonne was at that time appealing against a fine he received from a French court in 2009 for inviting a Holocaust denier on stage. In March, Dieudonne was found guilty by a French court of condoning terrorism and given a two-month sentence. He had posted on Facebook "I feel like Charlie Coulibaly" just days after the January Paris attacks.. The post combined the "Je Suis Charlie" slogan with the name of one of the three gunmen involved in the attacks on Charlie Hebdo. Eyewitness Simon Crowcroft, from Jersey, told the Islington Gazette he came across the "strange scene" on Upper Street while in the city on Tuesday. The Met Police said officer Dan Smith was helping a man who had collapsed. He was treated at the scene. A force spokesman said the officer's horse, Invictor, was "showing he's a team player". The Met said its mounted horse unit carries out day-to-day patrols and is tasked like any other unit. A London Ambulance spokesman added: "We were to reports of an unwell person on Upper Street. We treated a man at the scene but did not take anyone to hospital." The 2018 competition begins a day earlier when Wales host Scotland and Ireland travel to France. The tournament will climax with a 'Super Saturday' on 17 March, as Scotland go to Italy, England host Ireland and Wales entertain France. The 2019 Six Nations will run from 1 February to 16 March, with England away to Ireland in their first fixture. Wales will face France in Paris in their 2019 opener, while Scotland host Italy at Murrayfield. England finish the tournament by hosting the Scots at Twickenham, with Italy v France and Wales v Ireland the other matches in the final round of fixtures. Yoshiki, founder of rock superstars X Japan, will have an artificial cervical disc inserted in his neck. Known for his aggressive heavy metal drumming, he has often ended up in pain on the floor by the end of a show. His management said the injuries he had sustained "would force a professional rugby player to retire". All forthcoming X Japan concerts are being rescheduled and Yoshiki is expected to go under the knife within days in Los Angeles. "I'm having neck surgery next week. This time the surgeon will open my neck from the front and insert an artificial disc between my vertebrae. I'm a little scared but I'll make it through," Yoshiki told fans on his website. A quick YouTube search brings up countless videos of the man - full name Yoshiki Hayashi - drumming himself in a frenzy until he collapses behind his kit. There's likely some performance mixed in here and there, but there's little doubt he puts more effort into his gig than just a gentle background shuffle. X Japan's blend of androgynous glam and heavy metal turned them into one of the biggest acts in Japanese music history, with a huge and fanatical following, especially in the 1980s and 1990s. The band transformed the music scene in Japan. They spawned a whole new style - over the top outfits, wild stage performances - and sold 30 million records. Their fame caught on around the globe. They reformed in 2007 and have been touring Japan and the world since then, with a huge gig at London Wembley Arena as recently as March. A documentary about the band was released worldwide earlier this year. The now 51-year old Yoshiki Hayashi is the band's founder, drummer, pianist and main songwriter so there's maybe reason why he pushed the drum performances very much to the fore. He's also a classically trained pianist and frequently strayed off the heavy metal path, recording several classical albums or composing the song for the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. But with a poor bones structure since his childhood, he is paying a price for years of intense drumming. "Yoshiki has been informed by a neurosurgeon in Japan that his neck has experienced severe damage that would force a professional rugby player to retire," his management said. "It has been medically determined that he is approaching his limit, both physically and mentally." He is now to receive an artificial cervical disc, having already received prior treatment in 2009. According to his doctor, he had already lost feeling in his left hand when he performed with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra in New York's Carnegie Hall in January this year. His management said X Japan would be reviewing July arena concerts in Japan as well as a planned world tour and the shows are expected to be rescheduled. In response, an adviser to London mayor Boris Johnson, Daniel Moylan, said if true, it is "sadly short-sighted". Known as "Boris Island" because of Mr Johnson's backing, it was one option being considered by the Airports Commission on how to expand airport capacity in the UK. An official announcement is expected on Tuesday. "Airports policy has been stalled for nearly five decades, ricocheting like a billiard ball between Heathrow and Gatwick," said Mr Moylan, aviation adviser to Mr Johnson. "We have only one opportunity to break out of that but it seems the Commission has taken us back to the same old failed choice." He added that the final decision would rest with the government. "The key question now is whether the Airports Commission will play much of a role," he continued. Earlier, the Financial Times reported that Whitehall sources had confirmed the "Boris Island" plan would be ruled out. It would have led to the development of a four-runway airport on the Isle of Grain in the Thames Estuary. The commission, led by Sir Howard Davies, was set up by the government to consider ways of expanding the UK's airport capacity. Its final report is expected next summer, after the general election. The decision to eliminate Boris Island as an option would leave the commission with three alternatives: Adding a third runway at Heathrow, lengthening an existing runway at Heathrow, and a new runway at Gatwick. Sir Howard Davies' decision is unlikely to surprise many people. A few months ago he told me that the Thames Estuary scheme had much higher hurdles to jump over than its competitors at Heathrow and Gatwick. He said the construction challenge was "massive", and that he was concerned about the impact on the environment, the cost of getting 150m passengers to and from the site (you would have to build new roads and rail lines), and the effect it would have on Heathrow, which may have to close. For several months now he has been analysing the detail and in the end he has decided it's not worth all that cash. So now the focus is very much on Heathrow, which boasts two of the three schemes on the Airports Commission short-list. Expanding Heathrow is a politically toxic idea. The whole point of setting up a Commission was to delay any decision until after the general election. It's just possible that the politicians will be pressured into declaring a favourite before then. "By excluding the Thames Estuary airport option, the Airports Commission has made the right choice on the basis of robust evidence", said Chris Richards from the manufacturers' organisation the EEF. Before the decision about "Boris Island" emerged, the CBI business lobby group said that a single, larger-hub airport where passengers can transfer to a range of destinations was "critical" to the UK's long-term economic growth. The CBI urged the commission to ensure its decision "maximised links across the UK" and made the "best use of existing capacity". "While no-one can predict the future of air travel, the track record shows that it tends to be hub airports that deliver the new connections to emerging markets that we desperately need," said CBI deputy general Katja Hall. Heathrow said this meant that the CBI backed its expansion but Gatwick said hub capacity could be achieved by switching some traffic to its airport, freeing up space at Heathrow. The Anglian Sovereign covers Orkney and Shetland but was sent to shadow the escort of a cargo ship to Lewis after it ran aground on Monday night. The incident came just days after the Western Isles' tug, Anglian Monarch, was withdrawn from coastguard duties. Other UK emergency towing vessels were withdrawn last year. In October, the UK government agreed to short extensions to the contracts for the hire of two vessels for Scotland following a campaign by local authorities and politicians. The funding package for the Anglian Monarch ended at the weekend and at midnight for the Anglian Sovereign. Talks are still going on between the UK government and the oil and gas industry about how future cover for the Northern Isles might be provided and funded. Shetland Islands Council convener Sandy Cluness had described the withdrawal of the Anglian Sovereign without a deal being finalised as a "disgrace". However, MP Alistair Carmichael has told BBC Scotland that the vessel will stay on duty to allow an agreement to be reached. Lenford Whyte, 38, chased Jonathon Coulthurst, 36, after an argument at a Liverpool retail park on 22 August. Mr Coulthurst, a rigger in the North Sea, now suffers physical problems and stress, Liverpool Crown Court heard. Whyte, of Goswell Street, Liverpool, was jailed for five and a half years after admitting wounding, possessing a bladed article and criminal damage. The court heard words were exchanged between the pair as Whyte's vehicle approached a junction behind a car driven by Mr Coulthurst's partner - with the couple's seven-year-old son in the back. Both men stepped out of their vehicles and "pushing and shoving" took place outside the Hunts Cross Shopping Centre, the court heard. CCTV footage captured Whyte collecting the sword, with a 2ft blade, from his boot and running towards Mr Coulthurst. He waved the sword in front of members of the public before inflicting a wound in Mr Coulthurst's chest. Whyte then drove off and later dumped the sword near a block of flats. On sentencing, Judge Foster said: "It was clear that you are the aggressor in the conversation and in the altercation, and of course then escalated matters by getting a very intimidating weapon, which you wielded with menacing effect and eventually used it to jab - really stab - the complainant in the chest." Paul Wood, defending, said Whyte, who suffers from a "recurrent depressive disorder", had been a victim of assault himself in the past. He said his client accepted his actions were "foolish" and he was "very sorry" for the attack. The defendant had problems with cannabis use but it was not suggested as a cause of the offence. The 30-year-old has been heavily linked with Hearts as the Tynecastle club's current head coach Robbie Neilson nears a move to MK Dons. Cathro previously worked with Dundee United and Valencia and is now part of Benitez's backroom team at St James' Park. "Ian is a great coach," said Benitez of the Scot. "We don't have any official approach. We are happy with him and we will continue with that. He is a young coach, he has some experience and has a great future. "The media is telling me Hearts will come, but it depends on the head coach they have at the moment if he goes or not. That is football. It is just speculation." Neilson left Hearts' training ground on Thursday afternoon having met with the players and used an unusual tactic to evade the waiting media pack. One of the backroom staff left the training ground wearing a Robbie Nielson mask before picking up the man himself around a corner. Working under director of football Craig Levein, Neilson led the Tynecastle side to the Scottish Championship title and promotion in 2015. Their first season back in the top-flight ended with a third-placed finish and a place in the Europa League qualifiers. And victory over Rangers on Wednesday took Hearts second in the Premiership. Cathro, who never played at professional level, began working at Dundee United during Levein's reign at Tannadice. He became the assistant manager of Portuguese club Rio Ave in 2012 and followed manager Nuno Espirito Santo to Valencia in 2014, helping to secure a fourth place La Liga finish in his one season in Spain. Lubitz, 27, is suspected of deliberately crashing the plane in the Alps, killing all 150 people on board. Officials in Duesseldorf said the investigation to this point had revealed no clue to any motive. So far, DNA strands of 80 of the victims have been found. Duesseldorf public prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said that "several years" before Lubitz became a pilot he "had at that time been in treatment of a psychotherapist because of what is documented as being suicidal". But he added: "In the following period, and until recently, further doctor's visits took place, resulting in sick notes without any suicidal tendencies or aggression against others being recorded." No specific dates were given. Lubitz enrolled in training with Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, in 2008 and became a pilot in 2013. He was diagnosed with a serious depressive episode in 2009 and received treatment for a year and a half, media reports say. Andreas Lubitz: Germanwings co-pilot Who was Andreas Lubitz? Lufthansa said Lubitz's medical records were subject to doctor-patient confidentiality and it had not had any knowledge of their contents. A spokeswoman for the German health ministry said doctors could break confidentiality if it was thought the patient represented a danger to other people. Mr Kumpa added: "There still is no evidence that the co-pilot said beforehand that he would do what we have to assume was done and we haven't found a letter or anything like that that contains a confession." Mr Kumpa said: "We have not found anything in his surrounding [environment] - be it personal or his family or his professional surrounding - that is giving us any hints that enable us to say anything about his motivation." There had been some media reports that Lubitz had problems with his vision, possibly a detached retina. But Mr Kumpa said there was no documentation on any eyesight problems that were caused by an "organic illness". There has also been widespread speculation about Lubitz's romantic life. One unconfirmed report has suggested his long-term girlfriend was pregnant, while an ex-girlfriend revealed that he vowed last year to do something memorable. "One day I'm going to do something that will change the whole system, and everyone will know my name and remember," she quoted him as saying. Flight 4U 9525 crashed near the French Alpine village of Le Vernet on 24 March, flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf. The cockpit voice recorder suggested Lubitz crashed the plane deliberately after locking pilot Patrick Sondenheimer out of the cockpit. Capt Sondenheimer is heard banging on the door, screaming, "Open the damn door!" The data recorder, which tracks the plane's altitude, speed and direction, has not yet been found. Lufthansa board chairman Kay Kratky on Monday warned it may have been too badly damaged and may not be sending signals. Bad weather has halted helicopter flights to the site, forcing investigators to get there on foot. An access road to the remote site is being dug by a bulldozer to provide all-terrain vehicles with access to the area and could be completed by Monday evening. A support centre for victims' families has been opened at a hotel in Marseille, from where Germanwings plans to provide counselling and visits to the crash site. In Germany, a 100-strong task force is investigating the crash. While 50 police work on the murder inquiry, the others are obtaining DNA samples to help identify victims' remains. An official memorial service for those on board flight 4U 9525 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf will be held on 17 April in Germany's most famous church - Cologne Cathedral - in the presence of President Joachim Gauck and Chancellor Angela Merkel. Unanswered questions What drives people to murder-suicide? The study, commissioned by Liverpool City Council, said the move from Goodison Park could take up to 50% of the 130-acre Walton Hall Park. Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said the report is an independent investigation into the potential impact and "in no way a plan or an agreement". Campaigners said the report ignored the "major" issue of traffic and parking. A spokesperson for the Save Walton Hall Park group said "not a lot of the park will be left to improve" if 40 to 50% was lost to the stadium development. Everton has been in talks with Liverpool City Council to collaborate on a new stadium since June 2013. Mayor Anderson said: "I can state that, at this time, no plans have been presented to us by Everton FC, but clearly it would be irresponsible of us to allow anyone to come to us with any proposal, for anywhere in the city, without us first taking a full and in-depth look at the situation." The feasibility study, conducted by consultancy firm Volterra Partners, said the proposed stadium could accommodate 50,000 fans and remaining green space "would be upgraded". It reported 30,000 sq m (323,000 sq ft) of leisure and retail space could be created if Everton moved to the park, originally opened to the public in 1934. The scheme could also include university facilities for sports, a school and a bigger health practice. The study added current facilities could also be provided as part of the redevelopment, including the leisure centre, children's play area and sports pitches. A Save Walton Hall Park spokesperson said "We will have a generation of children who will never live and play in local parks and green space. They will live in a concrete jungle. "The report looks good on paper [but] in the real community they do not always work." The 41,000-capacity Goodison Park is one of the oldest football stadiums and has been the home of Everton since it opened in 1892. Their local rivals Liverpool revealed plans in April to increase their stadium's capacity at Anfield from 45,500 to almost 59,000. Police said the accident happened at about 12:10 on the A697 near to Greenlaw. The man was badly hurt and has been taken to the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh for treatment. Inquiries into the full circumstances of the incident are ongoing and anyone with information has been asked by police to come forward. The Egypt Football Association (EFA) has awarded the points to Al Makasa, who arrived to play the game. The EFA has added that it will also deduct three points from Zamalek at the end of the season. The sanctions mean Zamalek are now in effect 27 points behind league leaders Al Ahly, who have a game in hand. Security concerns meant that the game could not be played as originally planned on Saturday, which is Christian holiday in Egypt. Both teams asked for the match be played in midweek as they felt it was also too soon after two Coptic Christian churches were attacked on 9 April. However the EFA refused that request and scheduled the game for Sunday. Zamalek's largest and most passionate supporters group the Ultras White Knights have released a statement on social media demanding Mansour's resignation. They blame the chairman for the clubs problems and have asked fans, ex-players and everyone from Zamalek to 'save the club from Mansour'. Fans of the club are disowning the club with one tweet saying "this is now Mansour and his sons' club and no longer Zamalek." Another fan added "we need who stop this man and save our club." Former Egypt international Mido, who also played and coached the club, is also concerned at what is happening at Zamalek. "Fighting and winning is the only way to end your suffering, I can't understand why they wanted to postpone the match," he tweeted. It is not the first time that Mansour has courted controversy. In 2015 he withdrew the team from the league over referees before going back on that decision. He also has a reputation for sacking coaches who fail to impress - none of the last five permanent bosses have lasted more than 17 matches. Sunday's forfeited match should have been a second game in charge for Portuguese coach Augusto Inacio after losing his first on Monday 2-0 to Enppi. The body was found at a property on Carlton Road, Bordesley Green, at about 23.30 BST on Friday. The man is yet to be formally identified but police said he was believed to be a 34-year-old from the Yardley area, reported missing on Thursday. They said they believed the 11 people arrested were known to the man. They are: Five men aged 45, 33, 28, 24 and 23, four women aged 50, 41, 25 and 19 and two boys, both aged 15. A post-mortem examination is yet to take place. West Midlands Police called on anyone who saw the man's car - a white Toyota Yaris registration FM64 PHU - in and around Carlton Road in the last two days to come forward. The car was found about a mile away in Adderley Road on Friday. Det Insp Warren Hines said: "We are currently treating his death as suspicious and we took swift action to arrest 11 people at the scene - who we believe were known to the man - on suspicion of his murder." Saturday's 1-0 loss at relegated Alloa means the Easter Road side have collected a mere four points from their last seven Championship games. Falkirk, six points ahead in second place, visit on Tuesday. "You look for responses and there's a lot of big characters in the dressing room and at times like this we need them to shine through," said Stubbs. Stubbs said he was "surprised" by a "disappointing performance" at part-time Alloa, adding: "We need to move on very quickly. "I'm glad we've got a big game that can pick us up." The former Everton defender also insisted he would have no difficulty lifting his players for the match against Falkirk, who have played two more games in the league. "The players have pride and that pride has been dented," Stubbs told BBC Scotland. "But they know it's just a matter of time before it changes again. "There's a lot of quality in the dressing room and that's what give me the confidence to know that as well losing a few games you can very easily win a few." Hibs finished a distant second behind Hearts last year only to fall against this season's champions Rangers at the semi-final stage of the play-offs. Failing to overhaul Falkirk would mean two legs against Raith Rovers, with the Bairns waiting in the semi-final to decide who meets the 11th-placed side from the Premiership. "Obviously, we would like to finish second," said Stubbs. "How important that is, I don't think anyone can tell. "We had it last year and it didn't necessarily point to us having a better opportunity to get promoted. "Some will say not having that break can work in your favour and it's another chance to build momentum." Hibs lost the League Cup final to Ross County last month and will be back at Hampden on Saturday for a Scottish Cup semi-final with Dundee United. "Our priority is promotion," said Stubbs. "It has been from the beginning. "But we have an opportunity to get to another major final. Our attention is on Falkirk first, then we look forward. "I can't emphasise this strongly enough; we have, potentially, a very exciting end to the season. "While that's in front of us, we're going to be doing our upmost to make that possible." Simmons left the Ireland job in 2013 after six successful years to take charge of his native West Indies. But last September the 53-year-old former Test opener was dismissed, with Joel Garner taking temporary charge. The Afghanistan Cricket Board said Simmons would assist head coach Lalchand Rajput on technical issues. As well as the four-day Intercontinental Cup matches, Ireland will play Afghanistan in five one-day internationals and three T20 games, all in Greater Noida. Under Simmons, Ireland qualified for the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, achieving wins over Test nations England, West Indies and Zimbabwe. The Windies appointed ex-Australia batsman Stuart Law as Simmons' full-time successor last week. Prof Rafael Bengoa was speaking after a health summit in Belfast. The panel put a set of principles to politicians who now have until 26 February to agree them. If the politicians reach consensus they will underpin the work of the panel as they design a new model for health. Health Minister Simon Hamilton described Wednesday's discussions as "very constructive". The SDLP and the Ulster Unionists have questioned the timing of the summit, just months before an election. Arlene Foster's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the four other main parties took part. The DUP Health Minister Simon Hamilton announced the panel members in January. The panel consists of two local doctors, two health service managers originally from Northern Ireland and two international experts. It is chaired by Prof Rafael Bengoa, who is regarded as a worldwide expert on health reform and is also a former health minister for the Spanish Basque Country. The panel was suggested by Sir Liam Donaldson in his 2015 report, which said there were too many hospitals in Northern Ireland and expertise was too thinly spread. It highlighted duplication and called for a simpler, more efficient system. Ross Morgan, 25, was watching the Ipswich v Norwich play-off match on television at home on Saturday when Paul Anderson equalised. In his excitement, Mr Morgan jumped and put a fist-sized hole in the ceiling. After he tweeted a photograph of the damage, Ipswich winger Anderson offered to foot the bill. Salesman Mr Morgan, from Wetherby, near Leeds, said he was "shocked" at the gesture. "I only sent it to him because I thought he might have thought it was funny," said Mr Morgan. "Then he replied saying he'd pay for it. I was pretty shocked by that. It's a great gesture from him. "I'm 25 years old but footballers who play for your team are still your heroes. It was really good of him." Mr Morgan said he was watching the game with four friends at the rented home he shares with his girlfriend. "I wasn't too happy because they'd [Norwich] just scored but then when Ando scored I just lost it," he said. "I went for a fist pump while jumping up at the same time. The next thing I knew I had gone through the ceiling." Mr Morgan said he is unsure how he will react if Ipswich beat Norwich on Saturday to reach the Championship play-off final at Wembley. "l really don't know what I would do. Maybe the TV would go through the window. I'd really love to go to Wembley." Managing Editor Will Dana apologised to readers and "all of those who were damaged by our story and the ensuing fallout". The November 2014 article described a gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house in 2012. A four-month police investigation found no evidence that the incident occurred. However, police chief Timothy Longo said that did not mean "something terrible didn't happen" to the student known as Jackie. When the story was published, it prompted student protests and a renewed national debate about sexual violence at US college. The Columbia School of Journalism report, commissioned by Rolling Stone, described the article as "a story of journalistic failure". Written by journalist Sabrina Erdely, the 9,000-word article A Rape on Campus relied on Jackie as the sole source to tell the story of an alleged rape at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. Subsequent investigations by other reporters and Ms Erdely herself identified errors in the reporting of the piece. The Columbia School of Journalism report said the magazine failed to use "basic, even routine journalistic practice" to verify the details after Ms Erdely failed to contact the alleged attackers. "The failure encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking", and there were "systematic failures" at the magazine, the report said. The report went on to suggest that the article had undermined work to stop sexual violence as it "spread the idea that many women invent rape allegations". Mr Dana described the report as "painful reading", and said the magazine was committing itself to a series of recommendations in the report. He apologised to all those affected by the story, "including members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and UVA administrators and students". "Sexual assault is a serious problem on college campuses, and it is important that rape victims feel comfortable stepping forward," he added. "It saddens us to think that their willingness to do so might be diminished by our failings." Ms Erdely also apologised in a statement released alongside the report. Columbia said that Jackie had declined to answer questions for the report and that her lawyer said it "is in her best interest to remain silent at this time." Former Olympian Goodwin, 26, says he quit athletics "more than a year ago" to focus on American football and therefore stopped giving Usada his whereabouts for testing. However, a Usada spokesperson told BBC Sport Goodwin submitted his whereabouts for the first quarter of 2017. Usada therefore attempted to test him on 17 January, resulting in a missed test - his second whereabouts failure - while the body conducted an out of competition test on Goodwin in his capacity as a track and field athlete on 12 May. Goodwin's first whereabouts failure occurred when he failed to submit his fourth quarter 2016 filings by the deadline. His third failure came when he did not supply his second quarter 2017 filings in time. Under the whereabouts system, athletes must specify where they will be for one hour a day, seven days a week, for three months in advance, as well as where they will be training each day. A missed test or filing failure constitutes a whereabouts failure and any combination of three breaches in a 12-month period is considered an anti-doping violation. For Goodwin, who finished 10th in the long jump at London 2012 and has played in the NFL as a wide receiver since 2013, this has resulted in a one-year ban from 1 April 2017, the date of his third whereabouts failure. In a statement, Goodwin said: "I discontinued all practices associated with competing in track and field, including submitting my whereabouts information. "It appears that because I did not inform Usada of my plans, my name was inadvertently included in their 2017 testing pool." Usada says Goodwin, who missed out on selection for Rio 2016 at US trials in July last year, has still not informed it in writing as required that he would like to retire from athletics, despite "multiple opportunities over months" to do so. As an elite track and field athlete he was therefore entered into the world athletics' governing body (IAAF)/Usada registered testing pool. "He sometimes filed his whereabouts, he was tested and he never informed us - despite being told in writing and through on-line education that he needed to inform us - that he wished to retire or otherwise not participate in the sport," said a Usada spokesperson. Usada says Goodwin submitted a whereabouts form in the second quarter of 2017 and it conducted an out of competition test in May. "We always ensure athletes are aware that we are the organisation conducting the tests," said a Usada spokesperson. "We are not involved with the NFL drug testing program." Usada added they confirmed Goodwin's first whereabouts failure with him and, as with all such cases, notified him in writing that he was still in the registered testing pool. "What is disappointing is that he was informed he needed to either provide his whereabouts and be available for testing or retire from the sport if he was no longer competing," said Usada. "He had multiple opportunities over months to do this and was well educated on these procedures but he chose not to do either, and as a result was not able to be tested. "This is clearly not ideal for us from a testing standpoint." Goodwin will not be subject to a ban under NFL rules, the 49ers say. The NFL is not a signatory of Usada or the World Anti-Doping Code and has its own performance-enhancing substances policy. Goodwin was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2013, playing 49 games in four seasons before signing a two-year deal with the 49ers in March 2017. In a statement, the 49ers said: "Marquise informed the organisation some time ago that he has no intentions of competing in track and field and has been entirely focused on his football career for more than a year." "We have been in touch with the League office regarding this matter, and understand that Marquise will not be subject to discipline under the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances as a result of Usada's decision." Goodwin, who won the Diamond League event in Birmingham in June 2016, added he has never failed a test and has always been "compliant with each and every protocol and policy" during his competitive athletics career. Thirty five firefighters attended the BMW Mercedes garage in Woodham Road, Barry at 17:15 BST on Wednesday. A wall and roof of the building collapsed and the five vehicles inside were all damaged. A spokeswoman for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire has been extinguished now, but it is expected to smoulder overnight." The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental at this stage. The former NBA player is travelling as a private citizen. "I'm just trying to open the door," he told reporters at Beijing airport, en route to the reclusive state. He made headlines after befriending North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on previous trips to Pyongyang in 2013 and 2014. Mr Rodman has called him his "friend for life". The US state department said it is aware of his visit. "We wish him well. But we have issued travel warnings to Americans and suggested they not travel to North Korea for their own safety," said US Under Secretary of State Thomas Shannon, according to Reuters news agency. "My purpose is to actually see if I can keep bringing sports to North Korea, so that's the main thing," Mr Rodman told reporters. It is unclear whether he will also bring up the detention of US citizens in the country. US and North Korean tensions have intensified under President Donald Trump, who has said he fears a "major, major conflict" breaking out between the two countries. However, the president has also said he would be "honoured" to meet Mr Kim, in the right circumstances. Speaking at the airport on Tuesday, Mr Rodman said: "I am pretty much sure that he [Trump] is happy with the fact that I am over here trying to accomplish something that we both need." When asked about Mr Rodman's North Korea visits in 2013, Mr Trump called the ex-basketball player "smart". "You look at the world, the world is blowing up around us. Maybe Dennis is a lot better than what we have," Mr Trump told Fox News. Mr Rodman had been a contestant on Mr Trump's reality TV show The Celebrity Apprentice that same year. In 2014, Mr Trump flatly dismissed rumours that the pair might travel to North Korea together. Mr Rodman endorsed Mr Trump's presidential campaign. The former Chicago Bulls star also once encouraged former US President Barack Obama to "pick up the phone and call" Mr Kim, emphasising that the two leaders both liked basketball. His trips have been referred to as "basketball diplomacy" in the US press. He has offered invites to the country to many well-known figures, from US media mogul Oprah Winfrey to director Seth Rogen, who co-directed the controversial 2014 comedy The Interview about assassinating a North Korean leader. In 2014, he told luxury lifestyle magazine DuJour he had approached the US government for support but was rejected. He also implied the US - then under the Obama administration - may not let him return home if he went to North Korea again. He has previously broken down in tears during TV interviews, saying he has had death threats over his trips, which have been condemned by human rights activists. Although at one point he did tweet Mr Kim to ask if he would "do me a solid and let Kenneth Bae loose" - referring to a US-Korean missionary who served two years of a 15-year jail term for trying to overthrow the government. Mr Bae later thanked Mr Rodman for raising public awareness of his case. On Twitter on Tuesday, Mr Rodman said his latest trip was being sponsored by a company that provides digital currency for the marijuana industry. He wore fully branded clothes to the airport. A previous trip to the country was sponsored by a betting company. The incident happened about 1600 GMT on Sunday before a flight departure. A spokesperson for the airport said passengers were on board while waiting for aircraft to be de-iced. The flight was the 1445 GMT Amsterdam service. Passengers were offloaded and the flight was cancelled. A spokesperson for Easyjet said: "EasyJet can confirm that flight EZY6773 from Belfast to Amsterdam on 20 November was cancelled due to a technical issue resulting from an airport vehicle accidentally hitting the aircraft during boarding. "The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority. "The Captain kept the passengers informed and they were given the option of being rebooked onto the next available flight or obtain a refund. Passengers were offered meals and hotel accommodation if they needed it. The company apologised for any "inconvenience caused." Donald Trump launched a war on two fronts, opening up a Twitter blitzkrieg on a "weak and effective" Republican grandee, amid an establishment revolt at his hostile takeover of their party, even while his left flank is harried by Hillary Clinton. His campaign released a 30-second ad, titled Dangerous, depicting his Democratic election opponent as too feeble to be president. At a rally in North Carolina, President Barack Obama said Trump was not even fit to get a job at 7-Eleven. The crowd lapped it up like one of the store's Slurpees. Obama also sniffed his own hand to make fun of a radio host's claim that he smells of sulphur. Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said the FBI was investigating the hack of his emails, published by WikiLeaks. The BBC examines how the politics of fear are being used more than ever by both sides in this US election to exploit the Xanax-popping anxieties of American voters. We also look at the Hillary haters, including women who are virulently opposed to the would-be first female president. Why does she inspire such loathing? And we review Trump's comments last week, largely overshadowed by the 'hot mic' revelations, refusing to accept the innocence of the Central Park Five. There's also the unfortunate case of Trump's Virginia chairman, whose rally in support of the Republican nominee went awry when he was fired - by the Trump campaign. 42 Percentage of all Republican women serving in Congress or as governor who have now unendorsed Trump, compared with 17% of the men, according to political number cruncher fivethirtyeight.com. Your US election daily dig Facebook's chief operating officer scotches speculation that she might serve as treasury or commerce secretary under a President Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump continues to campaign in the key swing state of Florida, while Clinton holds rallies in Colorado and Nevada. Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, will hit the trail in Virginia and North Carolina, while Clinton's deputy, Tim Kaine, also heads to North Carolina. Bill Clinton will be in Iowa.

The latest transfer brings the Old Trafford club's summer spending total to over £143m on five permanent deals. "I cannot wait to work with Van Gaal at the biggest club in the world," Blind told the club website. "It is a real honour to sign for Manchester United. I have been at Ajax since I was seven years old and I will always have very fond memories of the club and of my time there." The United manager added: "I am delighted Daley has signed for the club. He is a very intelligent and versatile footballer that can play in many positions. "Daley is a great reader of the game, he has played under my philosophy over a number of years and he will be a great addition to the team." Blind, the son of ex-Netherlands international Danny, worked his way up through the youth system at the Dutch club giants and helped them win four league titles. He has won 19 caps and scored his first goal for his country in a 3-0 victory against hosts Brazil in the World Cup third-place play-off in the summer. Last week, United broke the British transfer fee record by spending £59.7m to bring midfielder Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid. The 20-time league champions have also bought left-back Luke Shaw, midfielder Ander Herrera and Di Maria's Argentina team-mate Marcos Rojo. this summer. In addition to the permanent signings, United have agreed a £6m one-year loan deal with Monaco for Colombia striker Radamel Falcao. It was the hosts' fourth win in five National League games as they consigned Wrexham to a first defeat in nine. Disley's drive amid sloppy Wrexham defending from Nathan Arnold's assist gave them Paul Hurst's men the lead at the break. The hosts went on to deny Gary Mills' side's increasingly desperate attempts to equalise. The Mariners went close to adding a second when Rob Evans had to hack another Disley shot off the line and Patrick Hoban headed against the crossbar. Wrexham's best chance was an overhead effort from Connor Jennings, which was cleared off the line by Evan Horwood. Grimsby boss Paul Hurst told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "As I said, going into the game they were the form team and hadn't conceded a goal in the last six. We managed to put that to bed pretty early. Overall I think it's a deserved win. "I thought we played very well first half. I think that's the best we've played for a very long time and I said that to the players. "Training hasn't been great in truth on Thursday and Friday. When it mattered the players produced a performance which we've been asking from them." The county confirmed Adelaide Strikers are looking for a second overseas player after a knee injury ruled out West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard. Vince, 24, is one of a number of English players "under consideration". "A tournament like that would be great exposure for him ahead of the T20 World Cup," Hampshire's director of cricket Giles White told BBC Radio Solent. Vince, who was the leading run-scorer in the T20 Blast domestic competition last season, scored 41 off 36 balls on his England T20 debut against Pakistan in Dubai on Thursday. India is set to host the World Twenty20 in March. "The Big Bash would be a wonderful opportunity if that were to come through for him," White added. "Adelaide Strikers have shown an initial interest in James. "Others have also been touted, but James is certainly on their list of people they're looking at. "If they're looking for a top-order player who's a very good fielder and also a leader, with a good cricketing brain, then he fits the bill." Hampshire's links with the South Australia franchise have been forged through their former Australia coach Tim Nielsen. A number of players have been attached to the Elite International Cricket Academy at Hampshire's Ageas Bowl, playing club cricket around England. The new initiative aims to improve prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment and aftercare for cancer patients in Scotland. An action plan covering the next five to ten years has been drawn up, including funding for new equipment. Health Secretary Shona Robison said the strategy was "a blueprint for the future of cancer services in Scotland". The Beating Cancer: Ambition and Action plan lists more than 50 steps being taken, including £50m towards radiotherapy equipment and support for staff recruitment and training. It will also see £9m spent over five years to improve support for cancer patients and their families through link workers and charity groups, and £7.5m for improvements in surgical treatments. Diagnosis is also being targeted, with £5m to reduce inequalities in screening uptake and £10m to support quick access to diagnostics for people who suspect they have cancer. Ms Robison said: "Cancer services have come a long way over the past ten years, with cancer mortality rates down 11%, however we know more needs to be done. "Through this strategy we are aiming to reduce health inequalities and improve the experience of and outcomes for people with cancer across Scotland. "A cancer diagnosis is a daunting prospect for those affected and their families, which is why it is vital that we support people throughout their journey, right from detection through to aftercare." The plan was welcomed by a wide range of cancer research and support groups. Gregor McNie of Cancer Research UK said: "The continued focus on early diagnosis is vital - funds to make sure all patients get the diagnostic tests they need should ensure they are treated without delay. "Overall, the commitments outlined in this strategy are good news for patients, and we'll closely monitor their implementation to make sure they become a reality." Janice Preston of Macmillan Cancer Support said: "We urgently need cancer support to be built around the needs of the individual, and look forward to working with the Scottish government to look in detail at how the ambitious measures outlined in the plan will be achieved. Scottish Labour also welcomed the Scottish government taking "action on cancer", but equality spokeswoman Jenny Marra said the plans had been "delayed by over a year". She said: "The facts show that the performance of the government on cancer simply has not been good enough. We have seen declining performance on cancer waiting times, worrying trends in screening and diagnosis, especially in poorer areas. "While we welcome many of the initiatives in this report, there is little here to address the underlying issues of public health, and health inequalities, both of which are directly linked to cancer." A total of 10 people - all arrested on Monday - now face preliminary charges ranging from armed robbery to kidnapping and handling stolen goods. Those brought before an investigating judge on Friday include the alleged "mastermind", reports say. Kardashian West was held at gunpoint and tied up by robbers while staying at an exclusive flat in Paris in October. The TV reality star was attacked while her bodyguard looked after her sister at a nightclub. The gang stole €9m (£8m; $9.5m) of jewellery, including a diamond ring valued at about €4m. Four people were placed under investigation on Thursday, including a man - named as Yunice A, 63 - accused of robbing Kardashian at gunpoint and leaving her bound and gagged. The suspects brought before a judge on Friday include a 60-year-old believed to be the mastermind of the plot, French media report. Police have been investigating whether the gang was tipped off that the star's bodyguard was not at the residence at the time of the robbery. Although there has been no trace yet of Kardashian West's missing jewellery, police did recover an estimated €300,000 worth of items during raids on Monday. Russia's athletics federation was this week provisionally suspended from international competition, including the Olympic Games, for its alleged involvement in widespread doping. Coe said action needed to be taken against Russia or there were "unlikely to be many tomorrows for athletics". "It was the toughest sanction we had," Coe wrote in the Sunday Telegraph. Media playback is not supported on this device The International Association of Athletics Federations council members voted 22-1 in favour of Russia being banned after the publication of an independent World Anti-Doping Agency report that alleged "state-sponsored doping". Coe, who became president of the sport's world governing body in August, said the crisis had been "a horror show" but accepts that the IAAF should have done more to stop doping. "The best way to protect clean athletes is to be unflinching in our commitment to them, and not just in words," added Coe. "We have to create structures that are always in their corner and here none of us come out very well - including my federation. "The architecture of anti-doping has failed them. Were the walls too high in many of our organisations to properly investigate abuses? Almost certainly 'yes' has to be our uncomfortable answer."

They point to satellite data suggesting a major redistribution of sediments over a large region at the edge of the Red Planet's northern lowlands. The US-led team argues that asteroid or comet strikes into an ocean of water could have triggered the giant waves. Such events could only have occurred more than three billion years ago when the planet was wetter and warmer. Today, Mars is dry and very cold, and any impact would merely dig out a dusty hole. But researchers have long speculated that the low, flat terrain in Mars' northern hemisphere could have hosted an ocean if the climate conditions were just right. The nagging doubt with this theory has been the absence of an identifiable shoreline - something the new study could now help explain. Left: A colour-coded digital elevation model of the study area showing the two proposed shoreline levels of an early Mars ocean that existed approximately 3.4 billion years ago. Right: Areas covered by the documented tsunami events extending from these shorelines. If tsunamis regularly inundated the "land", dumping sediments and scouring new flow channels, they could over time have disguised what otherwise would have been an obvious "coast". "Clearly, it's one of the implications of this work: to have tsunamis, you must have an ocean," said Alexis Palmero Rodriguez from the Planetary Science Institute in Tuscon, Arizona. "So, we think this is going to remove a lot of the uncertainty that surrounds the ocean hypothesis. Features that have in the past been interpreted as relating to an ocean have been controversial; they can be explained by several, alternative processes. But the features we are describing - such as up-slope flows including large boulders - can only be explained in terms of tsunami waves," he told BBC News. Dr Rodriguez and colleagues' tsunami findings appeared on Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. Their work centres on two connected regions of Mars, known as Chryse Planitia and Arabia Terra. The team claims that the sediments observed by satellite betray the action of two ancient mega-tsunamis. The older event is perhaps easier to understand in an Earth context, where energetic waves can pick up sediments, including massive boulders, and dump them at a higher elevation. The water, as it turns back to run downhill, then cuts new channels - such as the ones identified on Mars by Dr Rodriguez's group. But the scientists go on to describe the traces of a second, younger event. This is calculated to have occurred a few million years later, when the climate had cooled significantly. In this instance, the tsunami wave likely froze as it propagated across the land surface. This is suggested by the observation of "lobes" of sediment without the backwash channels. On Earth, the frozen floes capping a sea or a lake can sometimes be pushed ashore by a storm surge. It is an unusual phenomenon but would be analogous to what is being suggested - albeit on a much larger scale - for Mars. The team has estimated the energetics of the impacts and their ensuing tsunamis, based on the scale of the sediment distributions. The craters that were produced were probably about 30km across, they say. The waves could have been 50m in height, or even 120m at some locations. The areas affected by the tsunamis cover some 800,000 sq km for the older event and 1,000,000 sq km for the younger one. "On Earth, the K-T boundary impact (that wiped out the dinosaurs) produced an enormous tsunami wave that hit the continental United States, equivalent to the area we see flooded in our study region on Mars," Dr Rodriguez added. Having lost some currency, the idea of an ocean on Mars is gaining popularity again. Investigations by Nasa's Curiosity rover at Gale Crater have revealed that the deep bowl likely contained persistent lakes in the past. Such water, it is argued, could only have been maintained if there was a robust hydrological system on Mars, cycling moisture between a large sea somewhere on the planet, its atmosphere and its land surface. A view (right) of a boulder-rich surface (yellow bars are 10m) deposited by the older tsunami, and then eroded (left) by channels produced as the tsunami water returned to the ocean elevation level "[The] large expanse of currently documented tsunami inundation is but a portion of what occurred along the margin of the Martian northern plains-filling ocean," said co-author Kenneth Tanaka of the US Geological Survey. "Tsunami-related features along other parts of the ocean margin, and potentially other smaller former bodies of water, remain to be identified, mapped and studied in detail." Peter Grindrod from University College London was not involved in the study. He commented: "The idea of a northern ocean on Mars has been floating around for decades. But the evidence hasn't been able to push this idea forward as the consensus view. "However, this possible evidence of tsunami deposits is interesting and, along with other recent studies of widespread deltas, could perhaps mark the beginning of a reinvigoration of the ocean hypothesis." The lobe deposits from the younger event would be an excellent location for future exploration by surface robots or astronauts, the team believes. They are relatively undisturbed and so probably retain important information about the nature of the ocean, and possibly even some bio-signatures if the body of water happened to support life. This satellite image taken using a thermal (temperature) sensor shows ice-rich lobes thought to be the remnants of tsunami waves that transitioned into slurry ice-rich flows as they propagated under extremely cold climatic conditions. The up-slope direction of flow is indicated by the white arrows. The lobe length is about 250km.

The newspaper has questioned how much work she did for the money. Mr Fillon said he was "outraged by the contempt and misogyny" in the story. Le Canard Enchaine alleged that Mrs Fillon, who was born in Wales, had been paid from money available to her husband as an MP for the Sarthe region in northern France. The newspaper, which said it had access to her payslips, claimed that she earned a total of about 500,000 euros in three periods between 1998 and 2012. But it said reporters had been unable to find any witnesses to her work. In a press release, the national financial prosecutor's office said it had opened a preliminary investigation into suspicions of "embezzlement of public funds, misuse of company assets and concealment of these offences". But speaking to reporters at a campaign event in Bordeaux, centre-right presidential candidate Mr Fillon compared the newspaper report to a stink bomb. He said: "I won't make any comment because there is nothing to comment on. But I'm outraged by the contempt and the misogyny in this story. Just because she is my wife she should not be entitled to work?" Mr Fillon's staff have previously said that his wife worked for him in a common and legal arrangement used by many MPs. The BBC's Paris correspondent, Hugh Schofield, said the story had potential to do serious damage to the Fillon campaign - reminding a public that feels deeply hostile to establishment politicians that the candidate is very much part of the system. The 62-year-old candidate for the right-wing Republicans party has criticised wasteful public spending and plans to cut 500,000 civil service jobs if elected. Mr Fillon is the front-runner for the presidential election in April, with National Front leader Marine Le Pen and centrist Emmanuel Macron as his main challengers. Benoit Hamon, who is expected to win the Socialists' primary, told French public TV that close relatives of politicians should not be paid from parliamentary funds. "Lawmakers should not be allowed to hire their children, cousins, relatives or wives anymore," he said. Licia Ronzulli says she wanted to make a point about the difficulties women face in trying to juggle careers and child care. MEPs were debating proposals to improve women's employment rights and opportunities. One-month-old Vittoria appeared to sleep throughout the proceedings. Mrs Ronzulli, an MEP for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom Party, got a round of applause as she got up to speak. She told fellow parliamentarians: "I would like to see more commitment on these issues from European institutions, to begin with the European Parliament so that we can all lead these two lives well." A total of 83% of sports now reward men and women equally, according to the study commissioned for Women's Sport Week. Cricket, golf and football showed some of the biggest disparities although prize money for women has increased substantially in these sports over the past three years. Other sports that do not reward male and female competitors equally according to the study are cliff diving, ski jumping, darts and snooker plus some cycling events. Women are allowed to enter the world championships in darts and snooker but also have their own separate competitions. Full table - prize money in sport It is the second time BBC Sport has carried out the global study, for which 68 sports' governing bodies were contacted with 55 responding. The first one was in 2014. That study showed 30% of sports rewarded men better than women. The 2017 study, which looked at prize money for world championships and events of an equivalent standard, does not include wages, bonuses or sponsorship. It found that 44 sports pay prize money, of which 35 pay equally. Of the sports in the survey, men and women compete alongside each other in horse racing and equestrian events. Women do not compete in the winter sport called Nordic combined, and men do not take part in synchronised swimming at the top level. This week the ICC Women's World Cup begins in England and Wales and there will be a ten-fold increase in the prize money pot, up from £200,000 to £2m. The victorious cricket team will receive £470,000 - up from the £47,000 winner's cheque Australia were given in 2013. There will also be £15,500 given per group-match win. But the winning men's team at the 2019 World Cup will still be awarded six times as much prize money - £3.1m. Clare Connor, chair of the ICC women's committee, said there was a commitment by the ICC to pay equal prize money by 2032. "These things don't happen overnight. Sports are on their own individual journeys and as a team sport we're at an exciting time too," she told BBC Sport. "There will be a strategic plan to ensure that the game can deliver equal prize money in 15 years." Regarding the increased prize money for the upcoming Women's World Cup, she added: "The most important thing is, it gives recognition and a really strong message where the women's game is globally now - the appetite to watch it, broadcast it and for more and more players to aspire to play at the top level. "It is a sport which is progressing quickly and with the frequency of ICC global events, there's a lot to play for, and reward and recognition for the players." Female golfers are among the highest earners in elite sport but they receive less than half the prize money of their male counterparts at majors, although the gap is closing. The Women's British Open in Scotland in August will hand over £487,500 to the winner - up from the £298,000 American Mo Martin was given at Royal Birkdale in 2014. The Southport course hosts the men's Open in July and whoever tops the leaderboard on 23 July will receive £1.175m. Ivan Peter Khodabakhsh, chief executive of the Ladies European Tour, said he was still striving for parity in prize money. "We are extremely proud of the significant strides which have been made in redressing the gender imbalance in prize money across the whole of sport over the last three years," he told BBC Sport. "Knowing the reality in the market, however, I would question that 80% of sports have equal prize money. We believe there is still a significant gap between the treatment of men's and women's events. More needs to be done from a social perspective to improve the perception of women's sport and the financial rewards." European Solheim Cup captain Annika Sorenstam said women's golf was "doing a good job" but that players would continue to "work hard" to address the disparity. She added: "Sport is a mirror of the business world. Unfortunately a lot of women in the business world don't always get paid the same as a man in the same role. We just have to continue to fight for it and hope they pay by performance and not by gender." She also stressed it was important to consider the impact of sponsorship, which can be higher in men's sport because it features more prominently on television. Tennis was the first sport to pay equal prize money when the US Open started doing so in 1973 after campaigning from Billie Jean King and eight other female tennis players. By 2004 Athletics, bowls, skating, marathons, shooting, and volleyball all paid equal prize money. Since 2004, a further 12 sports have starting doing so with squash, surfing and all World Championship cycling events achieving equality in the past three years. Surfing pays out the same overall prize money to the men's and women's WSL Champions. Prize money for individual events in the league is based on the number of competitors involved, which means the men's events award more because more men are competing. England's former world squash number one Laura Massaro has benefited from squash's decision to reward male and female players equally from this year and said sports women should be vocal in their fight for equality. "It frustrated me that we played the same number of games and put in the same amount of training and effort as the men but because we may have been perceived as playing at a slightly lower level to the men we weren't paid the same," the 33-year-old told BBC Sport. "To see that come good now after pushing for the women to be a part of the World Squash Association and growing the sport together as equals has been a real bonus." Massaro, who in March became the first English woman for 66 years to win a second British Open title, wants more women to speak out. "There's a responsibility for the top women in the world to really push the level of earnings up," she said. "You need to ask for the same money as the men and believe you're worth it." Football remains one of the sports where, although the pay gap has closed, there are still big differences in the prizes for men and women. There is currently no prize money in the Women's Super League, while the Premier League winners, Chelsea, received £38m this year. Real Madrid's men pocketed £13.5m for their Champions League win over Juventus, while defending champions Lyon took home £219,920 after defeating Paris St-Germain in the Women's Champions League final. Live FA Cup action returned to the BBC after a six-year absence for the 2014-15 season in a shared-rights deal. BT Sport has also extended its current contract for the same period. About 36 million people watched FA Cup coverage on the BBC last season, nine million more than the previous campaign. Last season's final attracted a peak audience of 8.8 million for Arsenal's 4-0 win over Aston Villa. Media playback is not supported on this device The deal with the Football Association again includes streaming of matches online as well as the network television coverage. The new deal will also result in more women's football being shown on the BBC. The corporation will provide live coverage of international qualifiers, the Women's FA Cup final and one England women friendly match per season as well as additional live matches and Women's Super League highlights. Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport, said: "FA Cup coverage on the BBC will continue to unite the nation through must-see sporting moments, captivating audiences of all ages. "The renewed deal will bring audiences closer to the action than ever before via an innovative digital offering across all platforms and showcase our commitment to the women's game." The move was prompted by decades-old allegations made by multiple women against actor Bill Cosby. The change means that from January 2017 there will be no time limit on the prosecution of rape cases. But it will not work retroactively, or help those who accuse Cosby of crimes committed more than 10 years ago. Dozens of women have accused the comedian of sexual assaults dating from the 1960s to the 1990s. Cosby, who starred in the long-running sitcom The Cosby Show, has denied the accusations, saying his sexual encounters were consensual. He is due to go on trial in June 2017 charged with sexually assaulting a woman in Philadelphia in 2004. Current California law requires prosecution for rape to begin within 10 years of the alleged offence, with some exceptions. Under the new legislation, SB813, there will be no time limit. The change will also apply to crimes for which the statute of limitations has not expired as of 1 January 2017. Senator Connie Leyva, who introduced the bill, said it told victims of sexual assault that they could seek justice "regardless of when they are ready to come forward". "Rapists should never be able to evade legal consequences simply because an arbitrary time limit has expired." Statutes of limitations for rape differ across US states. The "bullet scam" allegedly sees bullets dropped into the luggage of passengers as they go through security at the country's main airport. Passengers are then required to pay a fine or face being charged with illegal possession of ammunition. An overseas Filipino worker and Japanese tourist are the latest to complain. "This is becoming an international embarrassment", said Sherwin Gatchalian, vice-chairman of the tourism committee in the House of Representatives. Senator Ralph Recto stressed the need for intervention from authorities, adding: "There is no working system that is guarding the guards." Gloria Ortinez - an overseas Filipino worker - was stopped from flying to Hong Kong after a bullet was found in her hand luggage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Ortinez denied the bullet was hers, saying she would never carry one because of Hong Kong's strict security laws. Office of Transportation Security (OTS) personnel released her after several days in police detention. Japanese tourist Kazunobu Sakamoto was found with two bullets in his luggage and arrested after failing to show documents authorising him to carry ammunition. The reports have caused outrage, with locals criticising airport authorities. Mr Gatchalian condemned OTS staff, saying they were "not afraid to prey on foreigners". Some of the passengers detained were released after the bullets were found to be blanks, while others were taken to court for refusing to pay fines. Surveillance at the airport has been stepped up since the complaints began and an investigation has been launched into the personnel accused of involvement. Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of the social network site, said women should hold half of the important positions in business. "If you're thinking about doing something, ask yourself what you would do if you weren't afraid and then do it," she told the BBC. Ms Sandberg became the first woman on Facebook's board in June 2012. Last year, she wrote Lean In, a book advising women on how to make progress in the workplace. "It's really important that since women make up half of the population, women start having half the seats at tables where the decisions are made and that's not where we are today," Ms Sandberg added. She said women could make "unbelievably effective" business and government leaders, as well as entrepreneurs. Talking about the wider challenges facing Facebook, Ms Sandberg said the world was going through a "huge technological shift". "We are in the middle of the fastest adoption of disruptive technology the world has ever seen and that is the mobile phone," she added. Once considered a rather solitary pursuit, running has in recent years become an increasingly sociable affair. Aided by social media allowing people to connect far more easily, an ever-growing number of running clubs and events are springing up around the world. And as more people travel overseas for business, or move abroad, the sport is becoming a popular way for people to make new contacts around the planet, or even secure a new job. "With running, a lot of people think it's something that's just about you and yourself, and that's it, but that's not actually the case," says Renan Keraudran. The 28-year-old Frenchman works in marketing, and often travels overseas. When he is working abroad he joins up with a local running club, most recently the Canadian group East Laurier, which is based in Montreal. "We had a run and a beer together, and they introduced me to some more people," says Mr Keraudran. "You start talking about running, and then you start talking about business, and of course with some people you even get a true friendship." Mr Keraudran was speaking at a windswept beachfront bar in Barcelona, where more than 100 runners from across Europe were chatting over plates of steaming seafood paella the night before the city's recent 17,000-participant half marathon. The dinner was organised by members of Bridge The Gap (BTG), an informal global movement that brings together urban running groups from around the world through parties and Instagram hashtags. Founded in 2011 by New York club NYC Bridge Runners and London's Run Dem Crew, people who attend BTG events typically work in creative or lifestyle industries, such as music, media, fashion, or sport and fitness. "It started out as a way to make people that thought running wasn't cool change their perspective, and get some balance in their lives," says Cedric Hernandez, co-captain of NYC Bridge Runners. "We didn't know all this would happen, but we've even had marriages through the movement. "We've had people putting each other up for free in their apartments all over the world, and on the business side we've had photographers get signed up, people have gotten digital work or video [commissions], or even jobs with corporate brands as ambassadors, where they get paid to travel to different cities." While global estimates of recreational runners are hard to come by, it is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of exercise in many countries. In England almost seven million people now run at least twice a month, while the number of Americans participating in running events quadrupled between 1990 and 2013. Alongside the BTG movement, there are also more formal organisations co-ordinating events around the world, for a wide range of abilities. Parkrun, which launched in a suburban London park in 2004, now hosts free 5km (three mile) runs on Saturday mornings in 15 countries, marshalled by volunteers. Most major sports brands also organise free regular training sessions alongside competitive races. Nike's online running community, Nike+, has almost 17 million Facebook followers worldwide. Samuel Hedberg, a programme director at Swedish training and business support firm Hyper Island, says that running "rallies people to come together" in an age when they are otherwise just chatting over social media. "Running is a community that brings people together for real," he says. He argues that while traditional business networking events can be elitist, such as business breakfasts or golf afternoons, running is far more down-to-earth and informal, and as a result can better facilitate a more open dialogue between potential new contacts, both at home and abroad. "There is a sense of vulnerability when you run with someone," says Mr Hedberg. "You are put on equal levels, and you are out doing something together that doesn't have necessarily any status involved in it." He adds that running also holds a special place in an age when growing numbers of people are going freelance and embracing the "gig economy", or becoming a digital nomad who works around the world. "So I think that the trend is really supporting making new business connections over running, you just need a pair of shoes." Stockholm-based Australian fitness entrepreneur Dan Paech is among those seeking to benefit financially from the large numbers of people looking to jog with likeminded people when they are working abroad. His business, Run With Me Stockholm, organises paid running tours for people visiting the Swedish capital. "These days people want to do the activities they do at home when they are away," says Mr Paech, who adds that a large proportion of his customers are business travellers on tight schedules. Find out about how to get into running with our special guide. With a franchise now open in Singapore, and one on the way in Melbourne, Mr Paech hopes to create a global network. Back at the pre-half marathon dinner in Barcelona, a Hamburg-based event planner is explaining how running friends are helping her to find new clients in Amsterdam, while a British man mulling a relocation to Berlin is working the room for useful contacts. However, Renan Keraudran says there is much more to being a part of BTG or other running movements than just networking and keeping fit. "People might think we're just a bunch of people showing off on social media," he says. "But we are a family." Cunha was found guilty of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. He led the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff and was one of Brazil's most powerful politicians before his arrest in October. Judge Sergio Moro said he should be held in custody even while appeals are under way. Judge Moro argued that, even though Cunha no longer held political office, there was a risk he could continue engaging in corruption, intimidation and extortion. Who is Judge Sergio Moro? "There is no bigger crime than that of trying to use one's parliamentary mandate and the sacred trust the people place in it to obtain personal gain," Judge Moro said. Cunha, from the centre-right PMDB party, was expelled from the Brazilian Congress in September 2016. Just last year, Eduardo Cunha was seen as perhaps the most powerful politician in Brazil. Many blame the downfall of former President Dilma Rousseff on a personal vendetta between the two. But now both Cunha and Rousseff seem to be part of Brazil's political past. Cunha's work helped establish his PMDB party in power. But he lost all his influence when his own colleagues turned on him due to the various corruption investigations into his affairs. His conviction may serve as a warning for the current speakers of both Houses - Rodrigo Maia, in the Lower, and Eunicio Oliveira, in the Senate. Both men have also been mentioned in the Petrobras probe, which is still looking into the alleged participation of hundreds of politicians in corruption. A house ethics committee found he had lied about having secret bank accounts in Switzerland, something the Swiss authorities confirmed he had. He was arrested a month later in connection with a major investigation into corruption at state oil giant Petrobras, dubbed Operation Car Wash. Judge Moro said Cunha had received bribes worth $1.5m (£1.2m) for his role in an oil exploration contract Petrobras struck in the African nation of Benin. He has been held at a federal police prison in the city of Curitiba since his arrest in October. The elderly residents were initially cared for in hotels after the blaze broke out at Forth Bay Nursing Home in Kincardine on Monday afternoon. The majority of residents and staff are now being accommodated by the council at Napier House in Glenrothes. Fife Council said five people were taken to hospital with minor injuries. About 60 firefighters used water jets to tackle the fire at the home in Walker Street, which broke out at about 15:20. Members of the public came to the aid of the residents by helping them to find shelter. Police Scotland said all residents and staff had been accounted for. Part of the nursing home roof has been destroyed in the blaze. Forth Bay is home to up to 53 residents, some of whom have dementia or complex health conditions. Caring Homes, who run the nursing home, said all the residents were evacuated safely. Michael Kellet, director of the Fife Health and Social Care Partnership, thanked all those involved in the recovery operation after the fire, including volunteers from Kincardine Community Association. "Staff from services across the council worked until late in the evening to make sure everyone was taken care of properly and I'd like to thank them all for the dedication they have shown. "Due to everyone's swift thinking, actions and planning we very quickly had arrangements in place to manage this challenging situation." Mr Kellet added that planning was now under way to find longer-term accommodation for the residents. An inquest found Pte Sean Benton killed himself although his family are applying for a fresh hearing. Ex-soldier Stewart Thompson has said Pte Benton was singled out and bullied. He said the 20-year-old from Hastings ended up stuttering and nervous in the seven months he trained alongside him. Mr Thompson said he disputed conclusions in a report in 2006 by Nicholas Blake QC that four recruits who died from gunshot wounds were not "bullied to death". Last month, at the end of a second inquest into the death of Pte Cheryl James, coroner Brian Barker said she killed herself. Speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show, Mr Thompson said: "He [Pte Benton] was constantly, constantly punished, often for no reason." The former ammunitions supply specialist who served in Bosnia said: "His reputation preceded him. You could often see him walking across a field or running across a field with an instructor shouting behind him." Mr Thompson added: "I spoke to him in the cookhouse during breakfast maybe five or six weeks before his death and he was a completely different person. "He was stuttering his speech. He was nervous." Mr Thompson said he had an exemplary military career - but six years after training at Deepcut suffered a breakdown. He said teenage recruits physically hid from instructors at Deepcut, under beds, or above ceiling rafters, or they asked friends to padlock them into cupboards. Punishments he witnessed included recruits being put on parade in the early hours and physically hit, he said. "The instructors singled out people. They did it privately. They did it in rooms. They did it when often a lot of people weren't there," he added. The recruits had all had systematic, basic training at Pirbright, but at Deepcut they were washing clothes, peeling potatoes, cutting grass, cleaning rifles, carrying out guard duty and physical training and going on parade, he said. "It was completely chaotic and psychologically it was tiring," he added. He said recruits were part of a "brutal and unaccountable" regime and were either pushed to leave the Army or "improve their own personal issues". He said he backed calls for a public inquiry. Angela McGregor, 48, died from her injuries on Christmas Day. She was hit by a Volkswagen Golf in Love Street, near to its junction with Albion Street, at about 19:55 on Wednesday 23 December. The vehicle did not stop at the time of the crash. Police said the driver and the vehicle were later traced. Ms McGregor was from Wallace Street in Paisley. A full report will be sent to the procurator fiscal. Sgt Mark Miller, from the divisional road policing unit in Paisley, said: "The investigation into this fatal crash is continuing, and I would urge any witnesses to the road crash, or anyone with information that may assist police enquiries to contact Police Scotland on 101." He is facing a 16-year jail sentence for drug trafficking and is seen by investigators as a key figure in a war for control of the mafia drug trade. Riccio was seized outside the city and police said he did not resist arrest. Separately, 29 suspected Camorra members have been arrested in Rome in connection with fraud and extortion. They have been linked to the Zaza clan in the western Fuorigrotta area of Naples. The Camorra is a formidable mafia network based in the Naples area, which is believed to have extended its influence to Rome and as far north as Florence. Mario Riccio, believed by police to head another clan called the Amato-Pagato, has been on the run since 2011. He was reportedly arrested at a house north of Naples, where he was staying with his wife and baby daughter. He is wanted for his alleged role in a drug feud in the Scampia area of northern Naples. Beyond its role in the drugs trade, the Camorra has been active in illegal waste dumping around the city and the government said last month it would consider sending in the army to tackle the problem. With the DUP, it has a majority of six across all 650 MPs - but with the seven Sinn Fein MPs not taking their seats, in practice it is a working majority of 13. That's still an uncomfortably small number. It would only take a rebellion of seven people to defeat the government if all opposition MPs were to vote together. We have already seen how the government has had to be more responsive to its backbenchers, conceding to demands that women from Northern Ireland should be able to receive free abortions in England. But it is not just rebellions that the government needs to worry about. The majority could be eroded over time if the Conservatives or DUP were to lose seats at by-elections. Seven losses might sound a lot but if we look back at previous parliaments it is by no means unprecedented. Just ask Jim Callaghan or Sir John Major. Their governments lost their majorities because of illness, defection and death. The Conservative government suffered a net loss of eight seats at by-elections between 1992 and 1997; and seven seats between 1987 and 1992. The 1974-79 Labour government also lost seven seats, eliminating its wafer-thin majority and ultimately leading to defeat in a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons. These turbulent times were dramatised on the West End stage in the play This House, which showed how, in 1978 and 1979, MPs were taken to votes in ambulances. Government whips also had special keys to unlock toilet doors to ensure drunken MPs weren't napping on the toilet. Between 1966 and 1970 Labour's net loss was 15 seats. That was a particularly tough Parliament for the Labour Party because 20 sitting MPs died, as those elected two decades earlier in the 1945 landslide fell to ill health and old age. In the 1960s, many Labour MPs had endured harder lives than their Conservative counterparts because they often came from manual professions such as mining or factory work. The table below shows how many seats governing parties have gained or lost at by-elections over the course of each parliament since World War Two. In four of those 19 parliaments, the government lost at least seven seats. It means that Theresa May doesn't just have to fear backbench rebellions; she also has to fear illness, defection and death. Read more from Reality Check Follow us on Twitter Nigeria's north-eastern Borno State covers 92,890 sq km (35,865 sq miles) - an area bigger than Portugal. It straddles the Lake Chad region bordering Cameroon, Chad and Niger and has been worst hit by the seven-year Islamist militant insurgency. Its capital, Maiduguri, was at the epicentre of the conflict, and now hosts tens of thousands of people who have fled the fighting. Borno seems to be taking the initiative in pushing ahead in efforts to rebuild lives - and has been given a boost with pledges of help from the government and international partners. But it is a colossal task. World Bank figures put the cost of destruction in the affected region at nearly $6bn (£4.2bn), with more than two million people displaced. Leaked World Bank report on Borno State destruction: The town that lost its girls How I almost became a suicide bomber Using football to tackle Boko Haram Some people have started to trickle back to their communities, as seen in recent television reports from neighbouring Yobe state showing the residents of Buni Yadi, scene of the slaughter of 59 schoolboys, being escorted home by a posse of soldiers. Elsewhere, roads linking some communities in what was once a stronghold of Boko Haram have been opened with soldiers escorting convoys of private vehicles several times every day. However, those who are returning will find a scorched and flattened landscape with entire towns and villages destroyed. The area that was home to largely farming and fishing communities was already lagging behind in terms of development - one of the reasons given for the militants' ability to create such chaos. Boko Haram promoted a version of Islam which made it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society. What schools, hospitals and municipal buildings there were in areas once under the group's control have been destroyed. Bringing back life to such a huge swathe of territory will require what some have called a Marshall Plan for the north-east, in reference to the big reconstruction plan for Europe after World War Two. So far the federal government has set up a Victims Support Fund Committee to help raise funds to help in the reconstruction of the region. Authorities, individuals and organisations have been called upon to contribute whatever they can to the fund, with the government making its own donation. There is also a steady traffic of local and international groups seeing what they can do to help. One of the recent international visitors to the north-east was Samantha Powers, the US representative to the UN, who pledged just over $20m to help Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon and Chad, which have also been affected by the insurgency. In a meeting last month with the Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, the president of the World Bank announced an $800m package for rebuilding and demining the region. Although thankful for the help, the governor said the amount was a drop in the ocean compared to the bank's own assessment of the devastation. He called for more help, saying: "We need far more support from our international partners to be able to complete the rebuilding of our communities." Ordinary Nigerians have also been helping out through faith-based groups in providing food for displaced people and training in carpentry, tailoring and brick-making to give them some skills to resume their lives when they get back home. The Daily Trust newspaper raised about $1m through a fundraiser to which big companies like the Dangote group donated. The most touching effort has been the donation from ordinary people in other parts of Nigeria who have been contributing as little as a dollar or two to help their displaced compatriots. One group has mobilised funds to rebuild the girls' school in Chibok town, where more than 200 girls were kidnapped at the height of the insurgency two years ago and are yet to be freed. The Borno state government has acquired tractors, combined harvesters and other farming machinery that it hopes will be put to use in many of the ambitious agricultural projects that it plans to launch with the return of peace. With the onset of the rainy season, many have called for more basic help like improved seeds, fertiliser and simple farm implements for those going back to areas where they have not tilled their farms for several years. Others, like the UK Department for International Development, are looking at ways to make people less susceptible to the militants' proselytising. A local FM radio station has been set up to keep communities informed with broadcasts in Kanuri, the language of many of Boko Haram's members. As funding trickles in, the overall strategy seems to be to attack the problem from several directions. Officials hope it will result in creating an environment for the affected people to resume their lives while tackling the abysmal poverty that became a fertile ground for the ideology of Boko Haram.

Lewis Haunch collapsed at the event and was pronounced dead in hospital shortly after midnight on Sunday. Two 17-year-old boys held in Greater Manchester on suspicion of drugs offences have been released on bail. Erica McGuinness, a friend, said: "All his close friends will remember him for the fun person that he was." About 40 people held a candle-lit vigil on Sunday in his home town of Leigh in Greater Manchester. Ms McGuinness said: "Everyone's really upset, he was really popular and it was really sudden. "We're expecting him to come around the corner and tell us it's a joke, it's going to take us a while to get it into our heads." She added: "He was a very clever lad, so if he would have known it would have caused harm to him or anybody else he wouldn't have done it." A total of 58 people were arrested at Leeds Festival, with the majority in relation to drugs offences. Wiltshire Police said the blaze at a house in Swindon on Sunday night was a "tragic accident" and the death is not being treated as suspicious. The cause of the fire is still being determined by fire investigators. Two adults and a 16-month-old baby are still in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Emergency crews were called just before midnight to the terraced house in Manchester Road. A boy aged 13 and a 23-year-old woman were also injured in the fire but were not thought to be in a critical condition. An undisclosed fee has been agreed for Goodliffe, 17, who will sign in the summer when the transfer window opens. Free agent Harris, also 17, arrives following a successful trial. Goodliffe has made four National League appearances for Wood since the turn of the year, playing a full 90 minutes against both Forest Green and Tranmere. Boreham Wood academy captain Goodliffe, who has agreed a contract until May 2019, will be allowed to finish his education and play the rest of this season in Hertfordshire before joining Wolves in May. "Wolves are a big club with a great history," said. "It's just mind-blowing what I'm going to be involved in here." Harris arrives from the Middlesex-based Conquest Academy in London. "He is a left-footed winger with considerable pace," said Wolves sporting director Kevin Thelwell. "He has been here on trial for two weeks, and impressed for the Under-18s against West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland." Media playback is not supported on this device Wales' Easter double-headers against Northern Ireland and Ukraine were the final games before Coleman names his 23-man Euro 2016 squad. The 10m vessel washed ashore on Sado Island, Niigata City in waters between Japan and the Korean peninsula. All those on board were adult males, Japanese broadcaster NHK said. Police have not confirmed their nationalities but suspect the men were North Korean. In the past a very small number of North Korean refugees have made the journey to Japan by boat. Local fishermen found the vessel, weighing more than 4,500kg, around 09:00 local time (17:00 GMT), police say. The fishermen told local media that they found no engines attached to the boat. The men on board were estimated to have died at least a month ago, police added. In September last year, a boat carrying nine North Koreans arrived in Kanazawa, further to the south. The group were later resettled in South Korea. In January 2012 another group of four North Korean fishermen found by the Japanese coastguard after developing engine trouble were repatriated at their request. A police spokesman told AFP news agency that the Korean characters on the boat - which appeared to have been drifting for some time - were impossible to read. "The bodies are decomposed badly," the spokesman added. More than 30 events are being held to mark the inaugural Suffolk Day. It is to recognise the county known for its chocolate-box villages, Ipswich Town Football Club, 50 miles (80km) of coastline and horseracing at Newmarket. Suffolk Day is based on a successful model in Yorkshire and is planned to be held annually. As part of the day's events, bells at 14 towers are ringing out, including at Fressingfield, East Bergholt, Sproughton, Elmsett and Debenham. Students and staff at Otley College have dressed up as Sheeran, who grew up near Framlingham, showing their love for the county's famous "son". Children were dressed as the singer, and they even found a ginger dog to join in the celebrations. More news about Suffolk Day Elsewhere, there are events including dancing, theatre productions, food tastings, live music and a celebration of the county's literary riches. Candles will be lit at Felixstowe beach in memory of loved ones at the end of the day. The idea for Suffolk Day was put forward by BBC Radio Suffolk and is being backed by Suffolk County Council and the East Anglian Daily Times. A Suffolk County Council spokesman said: "We have so many things to be proud of in Suffolk. "It's not always in our nature to shout about things, we tend to be quite a modest bunch, but this is a great opportunity for communities to come together in celebration of our great county." There were 5,962 adverse or atypical test results across all sports, compared with 4,723 in 2012. The number of tests carried out rose by only 0.8% in the same period. Sprinters Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell and tennis player Marin Cilic were among those to fail drug tests in 2013. Among the findings contained in the report were: Adverse findings are those that detect the presence of a prohibited substance. Atypical findings are those that necessitate further investigation by anti-doping authorities. Atypical findings may correspond to multiple analyses performed on the same athlete. The increase comes in a year in which sports such as football and tennis stepped up their use of the athlete biological passport programme, which allows authorities to collect and compare biological data and spot discrepancies over time that suggest possible doping. Other sports, such as cycling, have stiffened the 'whereabouts rule' that requires athletes to provide the authorities with regular information about their location and possible windows for testing. However, British 800m runner Jenny Meadows says drug-takers in sport are still getting away with it. "People are still taking drugs and always will," she said. "The margin of error between coming first and third is so tiny that people will always looks for ways to break that down. "You look at Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin lining up last week in the 100m (both men have served bans from athletics after failing drugs tests). It makes you feel sick because they are still getting sponsorship and prize money. It's not fair on the rest of us. "I do think the sport is being cleaned up and these figures send out a message of 'we'll find you eventually' but unfortunately there are always sophisticated ways to cheat the system." The report also reveals which national anti-doping authorities test their athletes most frequently. Russia and China lead the way, each testing more than 10,000 samples in 2013. UK Anti-Doping, the body responsible for testing British athletes, analysed nearly 5,000 samples. By contrast, the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission, which was strongly rebuked by Wada for its lax approach, conducted just 294 tests, fewer than Hong Kong. The national anti-doping body in Ukraine, two of whose athletes failed drug tests at the 2013 World Athletics Championships in Moscow, carried out just nine tests in 2013, according to Wada's report. Andy Parkinson, chief executive of UK Anti-Doping, says testing in Britain is getting more sophisticated, but that it remains a major challenge to make sure sport is drug-free. "The more sophisticated tests become, the more chance you will have of catching a cheat," said Parkinson. "But although the analytical side of anti-doping and the science is getting better, at the same time you've got the industry and black market trying to design drugs that bypass the testing. So analysis is improving but so are the illicit substances. "It is a big task to try and stay one step ahead, and also frustrating - but even more frustrating for the clean athletes." Football was responsible for more than 28,000 tests, more than any other sport. Of those, 140 adverse samples were recorded, a ratio of 0.5%. Cyclists were also subject to frequent testing, with more than 22,000 samples analysed in 2013 - 1.2% of those tests resulted in adverse findings. However, there were also widespread adverse findings in sports without the stigma of cycling. Rugby recorded a rate of 1.3% adverse results from just over 6,000 tests. Paralympic sport boccia had one of the highest rates of adverse results, with 11.1%, although that figure is skewed by the relatively small number of participants in the sport. Of non-Olympic disciplines, chess recorded three adverse findings, while bridge returned one. Parkinson added: "Elite athletes are under a great deal of pressure and their entourage is under a great deal of pressure and, as in any walk of life, there will always be someone who crosses the line. "Our approach to serious dopers is that we are very firm and try and get the biggest sanction we can." Sir Craig Reedie, the president of Wada, has previously warned that doping represents the biggest threat to Olympic sport. In November, Wada approved stricter punishments for athletes found guilty of doping, doubling bans to four years. That means City could face incoming manager Pep Guardiola in the final, after his Bayern Munich side were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the other tie. Guardiola will replace current City boss Manuel Pellegrini in the summer. The first leg will take place in Manchester at Etihad Stadium on 26 April, with the return leg in Spain's capital on 4 May. "It is a difficult draw," said former Real Madrid boss Pellegrini. "It doesn't matter which team we played. The options are the same. "I always prefer to finish at home but that is not the most important thing." The final takes place at Milan's San Siro Stadium on 28 May. Pellegrini was manager at Real Madrid from 2009 to 2010, during which time Cristiano Ronaldo was bought from Manchester United for £80m, while Karim Benzema and Xabi Alonso were also signed. However, the Chilean was sacked after only one season and replaced by Jose Mourinho, following early elimination from the Champions League and also missing out on the domestic championship to Barcelona. Former Manchester United forward Ronaldo, 31, is the leading scorer in this season's Champions League with 16 goals. He is also the competition's all-time record goalscorer, with 93 in 125 appearances, and scored a hat-trick as Real overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit against Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals. Friday's draw means there is still the prospect of a repeat of the 2014 final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, when Real scored three times in extra-time to beat their city rivals. Atletico reached the last four by knocking out reigning champions Barcelona in the quarter-finals. Bayern Munich, top of the Bundesliga table, are five-time champions of Europe, their last success coming in 2013. The draw means four Spanish clubs could contest both the Champions League and Europa League finals after Sevilla and Villarreal were kept apart in the Europa League semi-finals. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has dismissed suggestions from the Spanish media that facing Man City represents another favourable draw for his side after they avoided Atletico and Bayern. The 10-time European champions knocked out Italian side Roma in the last 16, before beating Wolfsburg - currently eighth in the German Bundesliga - to reach the last four. "I don't agree that our knockout ties are always the easiest," said Zidane. "You've already seen us lose 2-0 in the first leg against Wolfsburg, so I don't want to hear this. "Everyone we've faced so far have been strong: Roma, Wolfsburg and Manchester City. "It will be a very difficult knockout tie. The only positive is that we play the second leg at home. I'm certain that it will be a real battle." Bayern's former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola will try to outwit Atletico counterpart Diego Simeone when the pair meet again in the other semi-final. The sides play at Atletico's Vicente Calderon stadium on 27 April, with the return leg at the Allianz Arena on 3 May. "I know the Spanish league very well and I know how strong Atletico are," said Guardiola. "They know exactly what they have to do. It's always very complicated against them. We need 90 minutes and then another 90 minutes of full concentration. "Diego Simeone is one of the best coaches in the world. He's changed the club; Atletico have reached a new level over the last five years." Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer added: "Atletico are monsters of passion. They are honest and authentic." Cotter's last Test of his three years in charge brought a bonus-point win over Italy at an emotional Murrayfield. Russell is one of 13 Glasgow players, all familiar with Townsend's methods, who have featured in this Six Nations. "We have some tour games coming up and, with Gregor coming in, a lot of us know what to expect," Russell, 24, said. "I think it will be good for the boys to have a slightly different view of how he sees the game. "We have got to kick on from here and progress as much as we can in the next few years. "Although the coaches are changing, I'd imagine a lot of the team will stay the same. "We have a good core of players and Gregor will bring new ideas in. It will still be a strong team and hopefully we will be able to build on that with Gregor." While events in Paris and Dublin meant Scotland ultimately finished in fourth place on points difference, Saturday's victory ensured they won more games than they lost in a Six Nations campaign for only a second time - and the first since 2006. They have also reached a highest-ever position of fifth in the world rankings, guaranteeing them a place among the top eight seeds for the 2019 World Cup when the draw is made in May. The task of continuing that development falls to former Scotland fly-half Townsend, who led Glasgow to the Pro12 title in 2015. He will take over at the end of the season, with a southern hemisphere tour, including a Test against Australia on 17 June, his first assignment. Wing Tim Visser believes Scotland's style will remain similar under the 43-year-old Borderer. "If you look at the way Glasgow have played over the last couple of years, they play very exciting rugby - a lot of off-loading, a lot of backs play, it's great to watch," said the Harlequins flyer, who scored his 13th Test try against Italy. "Hopefully, it will be quite a seamless transition to Scotland for Gregor. Vern has to move on, but Gregor will be trying to push it forward. "Vern always wanted us to go out there and enjoy ourselves, to express ourselves. We've got an exciting back three and turned into a team that can score tries. "Some of the tries we've scored in this tournament - like Stuart Hogg's against Ireland, where we exposed them out wide, the one I got against Wales and the one Tommy Seymour scored in the second half on Saturday - are testament to how much we've worked with Vern. "What Vern has added is the way we approach the game, especially in our own half. We're now a bit more realistic with the way we play the game. "Vern has left the team in a much better position than when he found it, that's for sure." George Ray's header 13 minutes from time capped a miserable week for Pompey after being held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Morecambe on Tuesday. Callum Cooke sent in a ball from the left and defender Ray rose highest at the back post to nod past goalkeeper David Forde. Crewe would have been in front seconds before half-time but for Enda Stevens clearing a Ben Nugent header off the line after Forde flapped at a corner. The visitors produced a stubborn defensive display, reducing Pompey to few clear-cut scoring opportunities. Striker Eoin Doyle should have done better with a ninth-minute header which he sent over the crossbar from Stevens' centre. Gary Roberts also curled a long-range free-kick narrowly over the frame of the goal while Kal Naismith could not keep his effort down after Kyle Bennett had crossed.

But one group of young people is fighting back, using social media to celebrate singlehood with laughter. Jakarta Lonely Council (or Dewan Kesepian Jakarta) - a play on the name of a well-known independent art body Jakarta Art Council - has become a kind of Facebook haven for single people. The group's most popular posts are when they alter quotes from famous and prominent people to make memes related to single status, loneliness, and the feeling of longing for your ex. "The compulsion of dating on Saturday night is a bourgeois conspiracy," says one post. Another declares 14 February as Single Pride Day with the phrase: "Single, but proud." Indonesia's first President Soekarno, a great Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and even world figures like Joseph Stalin, Friedrich Schiller, Oscar Wilde, and John F Kennedy have been featured. "Rejected once is a tragedy; rejected a million times? That's a statistic," said one of its memes. It comes from Joseph Stalin's "a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic". "Having a date is nothing special; what makes it great is only the interpretation of it," said another, changing a famous quotes from Pramoedya Ananta Toer which originally said: "Life is simple; what makes it complicated are interpretations of it." They also post edited logos, turning Pizza Hut into "Pizza Hurt", and puns such as "my hard disk is full of our memory, but my heart is empty without your name", or "don't ask when I will get married; ask what you can do for your country". One of the founders said the page was created two years ago for fun, because the members love making memes and wanted to laugh themselves. "When we created the page, most of us were single. But now, one of us got married. How cruel is that?" said one of Jakarta Lonely Council's initiator, who wanted to keep their identity anonymous. The creators, mostly young people, come from different professions; one is a researcher, a writer, and a lecturer. They use "celibate for purpose" in many posts, to emphasise that being alone or single is a choice and there is nothing wrong with it. Many users find the posts both hilarious and original. "Being single is tough!" screams one user. Some others even suggested their own quotes. "I have ex, therefore I am," said Facebook user Edy Sembodo, tweaking Descartes' famous quote. But some have criticised the posts as rude and disrespectful. The posts that are related to current political issues often spark controversy. On their Facebook page, Jakarta Lonely Council said the memes were not meant to mock famous people and their views. Instead, they want to laugh with them "as if they are alive and joking with us. We believe, with laugher, we can be more mature". Beyond the memes, the group also wants the page to be a celebration for single people. Being married or in a couple, they said, is not a necessity and being single is a choice. They also criticised the social and cultural values that push single people to marry a man or women their parents think is right for them. In Indonesia, religion plays a big part in relationships. Marriages between different religions are illegal and usually one partner has to change their religion in order to marry. "We experienced how bitter it was to end a relationship because we date a man or woman who has different religion, ideology, or ethnicity," said the Jakarta Lonely Council founder. "Rather than bully the singles, we better advocate for them, right?" Psychologist and lecturer at Bina Nusantara University Pingkan Rumondor, who is studying the effects of marriage pressure on young people, says there is a cultural view which sees marriage as a form of devotion to parents, and parents wants their kids to marry sooner because they think it brings prestige to the family. "There is an impression that if you are single and unmarried, you are a loner, emotionally unstable and unable to act like a grown up," Ms Rumondor says. "Religions also encourage people to build family and marry as soon as they are adequate - in terms of age, income, and education." Some of those perspectives need to be changed, she says. "Parents should encourage their kids to start thinking about what his/her purpose in life. Instead of asking when you'll be married, parents should ask 'what is your plan in life?', 'can marriage help you to achieve it?'" But, like education secretary Michael Gove, he said David Cameron must be given a chance to bring powers back from Brussels before deciding. Mr Hammond told BBC Radio 5live it would be "defeatist" to leave the EU without attempting reform. Mr Cameron has pledged to hold a referendum in 2017. "If the choice is between a European Union written exactly as it is today and not being a part of that then I have to say that I'm on the side of the argument that Michael Gove has put forward," said Mr Hammond in an interview on Radio 5live's Pienaar's politics. Earlier, Mr Gove became the most senior Conservative to date to publicly contemplate backing Britain's exit from the EU, although "friends" of the cabinet minister have previously told a newspaper that is where he stands. "I am not happy with our position in the European Union but my preference is for a change in Britain's relationship with the European Union," said Mr Gove. "Life outside would be perfectly tolerable, we could contemplate it, there would be certain advantages." Tory backbenchers have tabled an amendment to the motion welcoming the Queen's Speech regretting the absence of legislation paving the way for a referendum in the government's plans for the year ahead. Mr Gove described this as "letting off steam". And he said he planned to abstain if there was a Commons vote on the amendment. "My own view is let the prime minister lay out our negotiating strategy, make sure he has a majority, which I am convinced he will secure at the next election, and let's have the referendum then." Home Secretary Theresa May also said she would abstain in the Commons vote, which will be held on Tuesday or Wednesday if it is called by Speaker John Bercow. Mr Hammond said: "I believe that we have to negotiate a better solution that works better for Britain if we are going to stay in and play a part in the European Union in the future, but let me be absolutely clear: I think it is defeatist to sort of say we want to leave the European Union. By Chris MasonPolitical correspondent Michael Gove managed to flash a saucy amount of Eurosceptic leg, , whilst simultaneously promising to do as he is told and abstain, if there is a vote demanding that the government introduce legislation guaranteeing a referendum. For years, Mr Gove has been a strident critic of the European Union - and the UK's current relationship with it. But his remarks are indicative of a broader trend. The centre of gravity within the Conservative Party at Westminster on the issue of Europe has shifted from where it was 20 years ago. The Sunday Telegraph's headline today, "Tories in Europe turmoil", could very easily have appeared in countless editions of the paper over the past two decades. But being openly Eurosceptic, and willing to consider withdrawal from the EU if negotiations with Brussels are deemed insufficient, is now a mainstream view among Conservative MPs. There are far, far fewer keepers of the European flame on the Tory benches than there used to be and those keepers tend to keep their heads down. "We should say no, this is a club that we are members of, and before we talk about leaving it, first of all we're going to try and change the rules and change the way it works and change the objectives that it has in order to make it something that works for Britain." David Cameron has promised an in/out referendum in 2017 - if the Conservatives win the next election. A group of Conservative backbenchers, led by John Baron, have been campaigning for him to firm up this commitment by legislating in the current Parliament for a referendum. The rebel MPs wanted the legislation to be included in last week's Queen's Speech setting out the government's plans for the year ahead. Mr Cameron has said he was prevented from doing so by the Lib Dems. So the rebels have taken the unusual step of tabling an amendment to the Queen's Speech debate, raising the prospect of government MPs voting against their own programme. It is thought about 100 backbench MPs could do so. The amendment, tabled by Mr Baron and fellow Eurosceptic Peter Bone, expresses regret that the government has not announced an EU referendum bill. It is highly unlikely to be passed, as Labour, the Lib Dems and many Conservatives will vote against it or abstain but Mr Baron has said it will keep the issue in the spotlight. The furore has been seized on by Labour as a sign that Mr Cameron has lost control of his party. The Conservatives say Mr Miliband is unwilling to give the public a say on a vital issue. Speaking on Sky's Murnaghan programme, shadow chancellor Ed Balls said: "I don't think we should set our face against consulting the British people." He said Labour would back a referendum if there was "any proposal to change the powers between Britain and the European Union which would take powers away from Britain". But he said the party would not make a commitment to a referendum at a time when there was a push to reform the EU as it would be "destabilising" and not "statesmanlike".

Police were called to Cherry Tree Lodge Farm, Crow Tree Bank, Doncaster, after several were shot overnight. Six lambs were found dead, with a further six having to be put down due to the extent of their injuries. At Stoupers Gate farm, near Hatfield, six lambs were shot dead overnight between 21 and 22 March, while a further two had to be put down. Police described the attacks as "sickening". Insp Mark Payling, from South Yorkshire Police, said the "thoughtless act of violence... had caused outrage amongst the farming community across the region and beyond". He added: "Both incidents have caused distress and outrage not only in our local communities, but across South Yorkshire."

Twenty lambs have been killed in shootings at neighbouring farms.

Haider al-Abadi said the move showed "rapprochement" and unity of purpose between Iraqi and Kurdish forces. His comments came as Kurdish fighters launched a large-scale operation east and north of Mosul. The Iraqi army has been moving from the south, and special forces have now joined the offensive. Mosul has been in the hands of IS since 2014 and is the militants' last major Iraqi stronghold. The offensive to retake it began on Monday. Up to 1.5 million civilians are thought to still be inside the city. Those inside report that they are running out of basic supplies. There are reports that some IS leaders have fled, but there are thought to be up to 5,000 IS fighters still in the city. The Iraqi prime minister made his comments via video-link to an international meeting in Paris on the future of Mosul. "The forces are pushing towards the town more quickly than we thought and more quickly than we had programmed in our campaign plan," he said. He hailed co-operation between the army and Kurdish troops, saying they were "fighting harmoniously together" to free Iraqi territory from IS. French President Francois Hollande, hosting the meeting, warned that IS fighters were fleeing to Raqqa, the militant group's stronghold in Syria, and said efforts must be made to stop them. The whereabouts of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi are unknown. Some reports say he is in Mosul, but others say he has fled the northern Iraqi city. Under cover of darkness we joined a long convoy of vehicles setting out from a Kurdish base on Bashiq Mountain, about 15km (nine miles) from Mosul. We snaked towards areas under IS control, along a route that had been checked for roadside bombs. There were hundreds of pick-up trucks with troops and some with vehicle-mounted machine guns. Along the way we saw some American special forces. The aim is to clear the town of Bashiqa and 20 surrounding villages, most of which are deserted apart from IS fighters. The offensive includes some veteran Kurdish fighters who once fought against Saddam Hussein. Before leaving the base, senior commander Shex Jaffar Shex Mustafa told us they were ill equipped for the battle and did not even have enough body armour. "All of our victories are made by our blood," he said. The general in charge urged his men to go slowly, to avoid casualties. "We hope to survive this battle," one fighter told me, "but we are facing an enemy that hopes to die." On Thursday, Kurdish fighters began moving on three fronts east and north of Mosul. "The objectives are to clear a number of nearby villages and secure control of strategic areas to further restrict Isil's [IS] movements," a statement said. Iraqi special forces, supported by air strikes carried out by a US-led coalition, also began a pre-dawn advance on the town of Bartella, which is less than 15km (10 miles) from Mosul. "We started breaching Bartella early today. There is only 750m to cover to reach the centre," Lieutenant General Abdelwahab al-Saadi, who is commanding operations in the area, told AFP news agency by telephone. IS militants responded to the advance with several suicide car bombs, AP reported, but there was no information about casualties. Officials have warned that the push to take Mosul could take weeks or months, with IS fighters appearing to be putting up stiff resistance in some areas. There are also warnings that the group could use human shields or chemical weapons. Addressing the Paris meeting, Mr Abadi promised support for civilians affected by the fighting. The UN on Tuesday warned that up to 200,000 people could be displaced in the first two weeks of the military operation in Mosul. Camps are being built in the south, east and north of Mosul in preparation for a flood of people fleeing the city. The head of delegation in Iraq for the International Committee of the Red Cross, Katharina Ritz, said she was concerned fleeing civilians could be caught up in the fighting. "We call on all the parties to respect, to protect them, to help them to access safe areas," she said. The Federal Reserve has lifted US rates by 0.25 percentage points to 0.5%, potentially increasing pressure on the Bank of England to raise rates too. But the former prime minister said he doubted the UK would do so "rapidly". "The Fed have just ticked up interest rates a little," he said. "I think this will be a very slow process." UK rates have been held at 0.5% for more than six years. "I don't think we're going to suddenly see a huge spiral in interest rates," Sir John told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. "I know many mortgage owners in particular will be concerned about that," he added. Bank of England governor Mark Carney has said rates will stay low "for some time", with economists predicting the bank could raise them in late 2016. However, Sir John said the UK economy was in better health than when he became prime minister 25 years ago. Then interest rates were at 14% and inflation was nearly 10%, he said. Next year the world economy, including that of Europe, will grow a "little faster", Sir John predicted. But he added: "I think three large economies will probably be in difficulty next year: Russia, Brazil and China will slow a little." Writing in the Sunday Times, the PM promised "zero tolerance" of state failure around social care and a new covenant for those leaving care. New laws will encourage the permanent adoption of children, even when it overrides family ties, he added. Labour said government cuts had already harmed students and working families. The government will outline the plans in the Queen's Speech on Wednesday. The speech - which will mark the official state opening of Parliament - will reveal the laws the government hopes to get approved over the coming year. It is expected to include measures aimed at encouraging top UK universities to do more to improve social mobility and more help with energy costs for poorer households. BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said Mr Cameron was "keen to demonstrate that his current focus on the EU referendum was not at the expense of the domestic political agenda". In January, Mr Cameron promised an "all-out assault on poverty" with a series of social reforms to include better mental health services and mentoring schemes. Writing ahead of the Queen's Speech, Mr Cameron said the government will legislate to encourage permanent adoption - even if it means children are not placed with relatives. He said he was "unashamedly pro-adoption" and criticised courts and social workers for favouring "less stable placements" with distant relatives rather than with adoption families. "We will legislate to tip the balance in favour of permanent adoption where that is the right thing for the child - even when that means overriding family ties", he said. "For too long, whether through misguided notions of what is right or sensitivities about not wanting to cause offence, we have let the most vulnerable in our country down. That needs to change," he wrote. Reforms will also set "new, demanding standards" for all child and family social workers to meet by 2020, he added. A new regulator will be introduced to oversee the system, he said. Instead of "rigid rules and processes", social workers will be allowed to use their "experience and common sense to make good judgements". Mr Cameron pledged people leaving care would be given "far more effective support", with the introduction of the UK's first care leavers' covenant. "This will be a promise, set out in law, to everyone who has been through the care system, making sure that local authorities set out clearly what they are entitled to locally - including housing, jobs and healthcare." Care leavers will be given "more personalised help", with every person under the age of 25 given a mentor. The prime minister wrote: "Our priorities are clear: with our economy now fundamentally stronger, I want the next four years to be a period of great social transformation in Britain." The plans also include changes to the prisons system, new powers to tackle extremism and measures to extend educational opportunity, he added. The 27-year-old left the Cherries for Carrow Road in 2014 and has returned on a three-and-a-half-year contract. After scoring 12 Championship goals last season he has found the net once in six Premier League games this term. The signing of Grabban comes a day after Bournemouth completed a move for Wolves striker Benik Afobe, taking the club's spending to £16m in 24 hours. It was initially thought Afobe cost £10m, but that fee is now believed to be £9m. "I think we'll be getting a better Lewis Grabban," said Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe. "But he'll realise that we've got better as well and he will have to adapt, too. We're in no doubt we're getting a good player back. "He's also someone who was popular in the dressing room, behind the scenes he's a strong motivator and we're delighted to be bringing him back. "It was such a long, drawn-out transfer but we're delighted it's been done." Bournemouth host Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday. Grabban, who began his career at Crystal Palace, first joined Bournemouth from Rotherham for £300,000 in May 2012. In two years on the south coast he scored 35 goals in 86 league appearances before making the move to Norwich, who were promoted alongside Bournemouth last season.

Natalie Jones, of Stourbridge, 22, was the first patient to have the procedure to have a hole in her heart repaired. Doctors claim the operation is safer for patients than conventional surgery. Normal heart surgery involves cutting open the breast plate, but the robotic arms are inserted by making cuts between the patient's ribs. A surgeon is given a 3D, high-definition view of the heart and can move the arms using a control panel. Each time they move their hand 3mm, the robot arm moves just 1mm. Heart surgeon Stephen Billing said: "There is less pain and patients are able to return home to their normal activities far sooner." Mrs Jones had a 3.5cm (1.3in) hole in her heart repaired during surgery which lasted nine hours. She said she wanted the procedure so she could get back to looking after her 21-month-old son, Dillon, as quickly as possible. Your heart: A muscle that never gets tiredCongenital heart defects - find out more She said: "I was scared, but I chose the robot surgery because I didn't want to have a large scar and I liked the idea of being the first." A more complex procedure - a mitral valve repair - was carried out on 43-year-old Paul Whitehouse from Halesowen. Doctors said that Mr Whitehouse might be able to go back to work as a self-employed builder after two months instead of the normal six months recovery time. New Cross Hospital hopes to carry out 30 mitral valve repairs a year using the robot that is already employed in other operations at the hospital. The UK is the third country in Europe after Sweden and Finland to perform open-heart surgery using robots. Surgeons Moninder Bhabra and Mr Billing and their team underwent extensive training in Finland before the first procedure. But Mr Bhabra accepts that the robot can only be used sparingly, because it is expensive. Each of its four arms has tools costing £2,000 that have to be replaced after 10 operations. "I accept money is tight within the NHS, but we can't be left behind by the rest of the world in developing what we are doing in surgery and other aspects of health care," said Mr Bhabra. They stand to print animal shapes onto white paper in brightly coloured paint and jump to their feet at certain points in their morning story. It is part of a programme called Active Movement devised by Dr Mike Loosemore, a researcher from University College London, who has led research into the diseases caused by a sedentary lifestyle. Dr Loosemore warns that a "tsunami of inactivity" is engulfing Britain and already leading to dramatic increases in largely avoidable diseases. He is to present the findings of a pilot study in schools to the conference of the National Association of Day Nurseries on June 12th. The school programme is not about the dangers of missing out on the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise. It is focused on the separate risks that research has shown are associated with the simple act of sitting for more than about twenty minutes at a stretch, as millions do each day at work and at home. Even a thirty minute run after work can't repair the damage caused by hours of sitting. "Sitting can create inflammatory cytokines (chemicals used by cells to signal to each other) which damage the lining of the arteries and the brain, leading to heart attacks and strokes and some cancers," says Dr Loosemore. "We know it can lead to diabetes and even Alzheimers." Adults have proved reluctant to ditch the sitting habit. Some researchers believe it has become worse in the age of screen-based social media and computer games. But children represent an opportunity to bring about a change of heart, and schools are the ideal place to teach a new awareness of the dangers of a sedentary life. Dr Loosemore uses the characters Sid, who sits, and Stan, who stands, to personalize for children the critical choice between sitting and standing. Sid has a lazy looking cat called Tiggy while Stan has an energetic dog called Max. Children at the Old School House are well aware of the benefits of "being Stan" at every opportunity. It is a formula that has caught on at Abberley Parochial Primary School in Worcestershire too. Pupils stand up to answer a question in class or when the head teacher enters the classroom with a visitor. Standing has been given a positive spin - anyone celebrating a birthday is allowed to stand up whenever they want to. Champions from each of the school's houses wear pedometers, jigging energetically all day as they compete to amass the most steps. During assembly the school is divided into two, with the children in each half of the hall alternating in jumping to their feet in time with successive lines of the hymn. Pupils agree that such innovations have injected a buzz about activity into school life. "Once, people used to sit around, now you hardly ever see them sitting," says Josh, a top-year pupil. Molly, who is also in her final year, has noticed a new social pressure to be active. "If there was someone who was jogging because they were really fit, it would be really embarrassing if you were in the car eating crisps," she says. Becky has taken to heart the reasons for avoiding long periods of sitting, citing the danger of diseases such as diabetes. "If you're sitting down your muscles are all relaxed and you droop down, whereas if you're standing you're holding yourself up, and you have better posture." Abberley Parochial Primary's head teacher, Anne Wylie, says that movement, far from displacing study time, has made it more effective. "It's been known for a long while that activity improves children's energy," she says. "But we've found it has also helped them to concentrate, and made them more focused." But the Active Movement programme is not principally designed to make already largely fit children into athletes. Its aim is to instil lifelong habits and create a generation of children who will work with their bodies to stay healthy. Sam, a younger pupil, is one of those taking the long view. "If you stand, then your muscles grow fast and stronger and you can be fit enough to do what you want in life," he says. The programme envisages energetic participation by teachers and parents to act as role models. Several of the children describe their efforts to raise recalcitrant parents to their feet, for example to jog on the spot during the advertisements on television. It is in a multitude of small actions that the risks of sitting too long can be reduced. Stef Johnson, a senior nursery nurse at the Old School House nursery, says she is taking part in a fun run this month. "I now park further away and challenge myself with a power walk every morning and every evening," she says. "And if I want to use the lavatory I go to the one upstairs." Another aim is that active movement should spread outside the nursery to the village around it. A class of four- and five-year-olds accompanies elderly villagers on walks to identify plants and birds, clutching the hands of companions some 75 years their senior. Most of this chatty crowd can expect to live considerably longer than their elderly friends. But although life-spans are increasing, scientists predict that a growing proportion of them will be blighted by chronic, disabling, diseases - piling crippling costs onto the health service. If the tots inspecting radish plants in the village allotment are to avoid this fate, they need to master the art of continual locomotion as early as possible. 27 May 2016 Last updated at 10:34 BST "My gut is telling me go," she told BBC Newsnight. She was speaking as part of its My Decision series, where a number of figures explain how they plan to vote in the EU referendum - and the thinking behind their decision.

But the Briton said inevitable grid penalties he will have to serve because of early-season reliability problems were affecting his mindset. "I am very proud of coming back, but there's a long way to go," he said. Rosberg led by 43 points at one stage after winning the first four races of the season as Hamilton was hit by bad starts in the first two races in Australia and Bahrain and then failures of engine parts that left him down the grid in China and Russia. "It's not massive," he said of taking the lead. "Right now, I am still with the same mentality of still chasing." The engine failures mean he will use more than the permitted number of certain engine parts, which will mean a start from the back, most likely at either the Belgian or Italian Grands Prix after the August break following next weekend's race in Germany. Hamilton said that, in hindsight, the crash that took out both Mercedes drivers on the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix had been a critical moment. "Spain has definitely ended up being a turning point," Hamilton said. "It didn't feel like it was; it was rock bottom: 'Basically, where do we go from here?' The only way was up. "I managed to get my head together and get on with it even though I have fewer engines, and all these different things that didn't seem to be working with me, just deal with it. "And since then we have pulled together and I really would love to come out of the next race with another result like this so when I do go to Spa or Monza, whichever one it is where I take the penalty and I start from pit lane or last place, that is the minimum damage, it doesn't mean I am 25 points behind. "I don't really want to get back to there. I honestly feel we are in the strongest position we have been all year in terms of our performance and how unified we are." With 10 races remaining, Rosberg said he was not concerned about losing the championship lead. "It's very close," he said. "It's been a good season so far up to now. It's been a good battle with Lewis and, as I've always said, I'm not counting the points, there's still a long long way to go. "Everything's still possible and I just want to focus on winning races. "That's what I wanted to do in Hungary, I had my full focus on that. It didn't work out unfortunately, just losing out in turn one, and now I move my focus to Hockenheim, because it's my home race and I'm really looking forward to going there, racing there. I love the track and so I'm going to try and win there." Subscribe to the BBC Sport newsletter to get our pick of news, features and video sent to your inbox. Poppi Worthington died suddenly after being found with a serious injury at home in Barrow, Cumbria, in 2012. Her father Paul Worthington, 47, was later questioned on suspicion of sexual assault but never charged with any offence. He denies any wrongdoing. Details of his daughter's unexplained death were kept secret until last week. Reviewing medical evidence, Liverpool Family Court has heard experts' differences of opinion on the cause and nature of Poppi's injuries. Pathologist Dr Alison Armour, who carried out the post-mortem examination, said Poppi had been sexually assaulted before her death. Other experts have questioned the way she interpreted some medical evidence. No-one has been able to offer alternative explanations for the injuries found on Poppi's body. Karl Rowley QC, representing Mr Worthington, questioned Dr Armour's conclusions Poppi had been abused. He told the hearing the "preponderance of evidence points away from Poppi being subjected to sexual abuse by her father or anyone else". The judge, Mr Justice Peter Jackson, criticised Cumbria Police not carrying out a proper investigation for nine months, deciding to wait for a full post-mortem report. By the time it was finished Poppi's body had been released and buried, after an inquest lasting just seven minutes. A spokesman for the force said three officers had been suspended. Failures by police and Cumbria County Council were kept secret until the media challenged this in court and Mr Justice Peter Jackson agreed that "as much information as possible" should be made public. The court heard there was now an "absence of evidence" to prove how Poppi died. Cumbria Police have said no charges would be brought over her death but "lessons have been learnt" from the case. Mr Justice Peter Jackson will give his judgment on the case in January. A second inquest into Poppi's death ordered by a senior judge is still to be heard. Race organiser Jimmy Lee said 700 people took part in the 54th Viking race, which was held on the Isle of Man. The annual event, first held in 1963, saw crews of 10 people row authentic longboats in a 1,312ft (400m) sprint in Peel Bay. It was the first time the RL360 Young Farmers Netball Girls, who are based on the island, have won the title. Whitehouse Young Vikings Again had the quickest time with one minute 59 seconds but Young Farmers Netball Girls won after handicaps were calculated. Mr Lee said hundreds of spectators turned out to watch the "incredible spectacle" which was "as competitive as ever for bragging rights". Each team had to complete at least two practice runs in order to compete in the World Championship race, with each member using an 11ft (3.3m) oar. Jenny Priscott, from Didcot, copied her father Ivan Sansom's picture when a theatre show retold the record-breaking event at Iffley Road Track, Oxford. Mr Sansom, known as Sammy, was an Oxford Mail press photographer when he snapped the athlete cross the finishing line in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. His image became famous as it was the first one published, Mrs Priscott said. "As mum recalls it there was a whisper that he [Bannister] was going to try for it at some stage so dad kept his ears open like press people do," said Mrs Priscott, an amateur photographer herself. "He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. "I know other photographers were there, but it went into the Oxford Mail the next day and it just became famous." Mr Sansom, who died aged 35, was never credited for the image because he was employed by the local paper, but Mrs Priscott, 49, said she was "proud" that the photo was part of her family's history. Trying to recapture it, she added, was "much harder" than she expected. "[It is] not like my dad's original photo - or as good as - but it just shows how good he was when he only had a few moments." Sir Roger Bannister, now 83, was a 25-year-old medical student at Oxford University when broke the four-minute mile on 6 May 1954. When Tony Abbott, as Australian prime minister in 2014, appeared to support a ban on the burka being worn in Parliament House, award-winning photographer Fabian Muir had one response. He trekked 1,600km (1,000 miles) across his homeland, camera in hand. Muir's resulting series pitted a cobalt-coloured garment of Afghanistan, alternatively spelled burqa, against Australia's most forbidding, and beautiful, terrains. Blue Burqa in a Sunburnt Country features a lone figure standing against swirling skies on a ridge of yellow sand; reflected in clear water; and walking amongst a forest of dead trees. Now Muir has made a follow up sequence - Urban Burqa. Rather than pictured in the outback, a woman in blue stands, contrastingly, against the white of milk bottles in a supermarket. Other images include the figure outside a fluorescent McDonald's sign and in a concrete basement covered in graffiti. The series is a critique of the rising far right and Islamophobia, Muir says. "Tragically, [anti-immigrant sentiment] has only become more magnified since 2014," says Muir, pointing out that 49% of Australians in a 2016 poll supported a ban on Muslims entering the country. "The refugee crisis… is always such an easy target for politicians. There's always going to be a percentage of the population who swallows that because it seems like an easy solution to problems." In Blue Burqa in a Sunburnt Country, Muir wanted to show how the burka complemented - and even enhanced - the landscapes: "It hinted or suggested a potential symbiosis of this country and immigrants, that runs counter to the narrative making the headlines at that time." Urban Burqa, by contrast, touches more on a cultural clash. "It's still about simulation but there's also a sense of confrontation and adaptation, hence this darker, edgier feel to it," he says. Born in a household of Australian creatives - Muir's mother was a director at Opera Australia, his father a director at the Australian Broadcasting Corp - Muir turned to photography after completing a law degree at Sydney University. He has since lived in Estonia, Lithuania, France, Spain and Germany. Muir, who is in his 40s, credits his success to a lack of formal training. "I personally think it's unnecessary and potentially dangerous for an aspiring photographer [to attend photography school]," he says. "Especially if they're young. They're going to potentially lack the fortitude to resist their teacher's vision." Muir taught himself, learning on film. "The trial and error was quite expensive," he laughs. "Each shot cost me a dollar!" Still, he appreciates the ability to pursue his own ideas "untrammelled and unburdened by someone else's vision". Last year Muir completed his series Intimate Perspectives on North Korea, selected as a finalist in the Magnum Photography Awards. "It's a time capsule," says Muir of the nation, which he visited five times over the course of two years. Shepherded around by guides, he was only allowed to walk unaided - and unwatched - on a handful of occasions. The photographer was first inspired to travel to North Korea after coming across Tomas van Houtryve's 2009 photo essay The Land of No Smiles. He says Houtryve's images are powerful but bleak. "His descriptions are very acid, of children fleeing at the sight of him," he says. "What I saw was very different." "The bleakness is part of the narrative," continues Muir. "But it's not the sole element. Almost more interesting was my experience of street level North Korea. They're really very warm and have a sense of humour, and enjoy very normal things." In order to document this, Muir took photographs of picnics in the park, kids in a playground, and bathers at a beach resort. One of his most hard-hitting images is of young children in an orphanage sitting beneath portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. It works because of "the structural composition, which says something about North Korean society - this strict structure of children lined up under the presence of the leadership there," he says. "For me it also raises questions: these infants, where are they going to be in the future? It asks questions about the future, it illustrates the present, and it also says something about the past." Key was showing that there was more to the story than "unthinking robotic people and their hatred for America and Japan". This hit home in 2015. "Out of nowhere I sensed this figure cannon balling towards me and arms were thrown around me. It was this guide I had on previous visits - he was in his sixties, quite eccentric and has fantastic sense of humour," Muir says. "He was almost in tears to see me again. It was absolutely genuine - no one put him up to that." With regards to Urban Burqa, Muir believes it ends on a hopeful note. The last image shows a woman in a burka standing in a bright blue skate park. The shadow from a skater in a T-shirt and shorts skirts the crown of her covered head, his hand almost touching her. "For me it's a nice closing image, it's optimistic - because of the reaching out," he says. "[But] there's a sense that there are a lot of barriers that have to be overcome." With this in mind, is it the perfect natural habitat for Conservatives? If you look at a map of the county, it certainly appears to be true blue, with the main exception of the western fringes which border Merseyside. When you look behind the numbers, though, Labour seems to have a good chance of painting more of Cheshire red. The constituency of Weaver Vale is currently held, with a majority of 991, by Graham Evans for the Conservatives. Whilst his party may feel at home in Tory-leaning areas like Frodsham and its rural hinterland, his biggest challenge comes from the part of his patch which includes Runcorn, where Labour have all but five of the 56 seats on the local council. Most of Runcorn and neighbouring Widnes are served by the traditionally safe Labour seat of Halton. That constituency, as well as Ellesmere Port and Neston and Warrington North include areas of considerable deprivation. Warrington South, where the Conservatives' David Mowat is defending a majority of 1,553, is also a key target for Labour. But in 2010 the Liberal Democrat vote meant the seat was a three-way marginal, and the continued popularity of the party in local council elections over the last four years adds another element of uncertainty. If Labour don't take the likes of Warrington South and Weaver Vale, their chances of being the biggest party in Westminster after the general election on 7 May look very shaky. The City of Chester, meanwhile, is the kind of seat Labour needs to secure in order to have any hope of gaining an outright majority. Tory Stephen Mosley has a majority of 5.5% but the Conservative peer Lord Ashcroft's polls in the city are looking good for Labour. Lord Ashcroft predicted they would take the seat with a lead of 1% back in October, but a few weeks ago he had them leading with 11% - so high that local Conservatives wrote it off as a rogue poll. The Green Party does not have a history of electoral representation in Cheshire, but across the west of the county it will be hoping to capitalise on the controversy surrounding a number of sites given licenses for hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking. There will not be much of a media focus on the safe Tory seats of Macclesfield or Chancellor George Osborne's Tatton, where he enjoys a majority of more than 14,000. Edward Timpson even looks relatively safe in Gwyneth Dunwoody's former Labour stronghold of Crewe and Nantwich. But in Congleton and the mostly rural constituency of Eddisbury the focus may not be on the 2015 general election but that of 2020. UKIP say they have high hopes of coming second in these seats, helped by a combination of disaffected Tories and traditional Labour voters voting tactically in the aim of upsetting the Conservatives. The Lib Dems nearly tied with Labour in those safer Tory seats in 2010, and with the party widely expected to shed votes the difficult question now is which party will pick them up. Labour will be leading its march eastwards with its national rallying cries about the supposed "privatisation" of the NHS and, as they put it, the cost of living crisis. But it will be directing those appeals not just at those in more deprived parts of Chester, Runcorn and Warrington - but also at those across the county who regards themselves as being part of what they call the "squeezed middle". The Tories can point to the fact that a lot of jobs have been created in Cheshire under the coalition government, and bad news stories like the exit of AstraZeneca from its base near Macclesfield appears to have been turned into good news about the site's future. But both parties have two very difficult issues to deal with in the county - the incursion of house builders into the countryside at a time when more houses need to be built, and the role Cheshire may or may not play in the Northern Powerhouse. Sandwiched between Manchester and Merseyside - where does Cheshire fit in? I'll be here throughout the campaign and you can follow my updates on Twitter and listen to my reports on BBC Radio Merseyside, BBC Radio Manchester, and BBC Radio Stoke. The 20-year-old left-arm seamer has played two Tests, nine one-day internationals and 10 T20s for the national side. Mustafizur will be available for the whole tournament, subject to his commitments with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. He will become the first Bangladesh international to play for Sussex. "He is a cricketer with incredible ability and is currently one of the bright young talents of world cricket," Sussex head coach Mark Davis said. "His unorthodox bowling variations make him a very difficult customer to bat against, and he will be a brilliant addition to our team." Mustafizur, who has taken 27 wickets in 20 T20 matches at an average of 16.11 and has an economy rate of 5.66 runs an over, will also be eligible to play for Sussex in the One-Day Cup. He is in the Bangladesh squad for the ICC World Twenty20 in India, which begins on 8 March. Sussex previously signed New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor as their overseas player for the first half of the 2016 season. Officials were looking for documents which would support the company's previous claims that it had not meant to deceive car buyers. Last month Suzuki said it found "discrepancies" in its fuel emissions testing, but denied it was cheating. Suzuki added the issue did not apply to products sold outside of Japan. The company issued a statement earlier this week, and clarified that it failed to use testing methods that would comply with Japanese regulations due a lack of manpower, and also a failure on its part to invest in the necessary infrastructure. Suzuki's shares were down by almost 1% on the Tokyo stock exchange on Friday. Suzuki is the fourth-largest car company in Japan, after Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Earlier this year, Japan's transport ministry raided the offices of Mitsubishi Motors, after the carmaker admitted to falsifying its fuel economy data. The scandal led to the president stepping down, and rival Nissan Motor later stepped in to gain a controlling stake in the embattled company. Last year Volkswagen admitted to cheating emissions tests in the US. Authorities found the German carmaker was installing a cheating software in its diesel vehicles that could detect when the cars were being tested and would change emission levels accordingly to improve the results. The 55-year-old left Stoke City during the summer and succeeds Ian Holloway, who exited Selhurst Park on 23 October. Caretaker manager Keith Millen remained in charge for Saturday's 1-0 victory at Hull, with Pulis's first game coming against Norwich next weekend. Crystal Palace sit six points from safety and have been relegated in all four seasons they have played in the Premier League Pulis has never been relegated in 21 years as a manager but Palace sit in the Premier League's bottom three. The Eagles were promoted to the top flight via the Championship play-offs in May, but have never survived a season in the Premier League. They have only beaten Sunderland and Hull City this season, but the win at the KC Stadium secured a second clean sheet in as many matches after a goalless draw with Everton two weeks ago. During Holloway's final news conference as manager, Palace co-chairman Steve Parish said the club hoped to talk to Pulis, but it is understood the former Plymouth Argyle boss was initially cautious about taking the job. It is understood he wants to bolster the squad during the January transfer window to aid Palace's fight for survival. Media playback is not supported on this device There were rumours Wales manager Chris Coleman could be appointed before he committed his future to his country, with Iain Dowie and new Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka also linked with the role. Parish had also explored the possibility of appointing former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu, who is now manager of Dinamo Moscow. However, Petrescu said: "I have not been in talks with any club being under contract with another outfit. And I'm not set to do it in the future." Welshman Pulis was appointed Stoke boss for a second time in 2006 and two years later led them into the top flight after a 23-year absence. Despite not finishing lower than 14th in five seasons in the Premier League and guiding the Potters to an FA Cup final, he left the Britannia Stadium by mutual consent in the summer after being told the board wanted to take the club in a "different direction". Palace, who secured four points from 12 under Millen's temporary charge, are three points from safety. She has been nominated for the position of leader with the backing of a majority of the party's most senior elected representatives. Speaking on Tuesday, Mrs Foster said she looked forward to leading the DUP, if that was the party's wish. It follows deputy leader Nigel Dodds' decision not to run for the leadership. On Monday, Mr Dodds ruled himself out of the race to succeed outgoing leader Peter Robinson. It is understood East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson is still considering whether to run for the position. Mrs Foster said she had hoped to work with Mr Dodds as a team. "We will still hopefully work together as a team and that is certainly my wish for the future," she said. Mrs Foster said she believed she had both the "ability and vision to take this party forward into the next 100 years of Northern Ireland". Mr Robinson announced in November that he was standing down as party leader. In a tweet on Monday night, Mr Robinson said he had "received a valid nomination" from Mrs Foster for the post of DUP leader. "Arlene's nomination was submitted with the support of over 75% of those entitled to vote in the electoral college," he added. Mr Dodds said he wanted to concentrate on his work as head of the party at Westminster. He backed Mrs Foster, the Northern Ireland finance minister, "to take the party and Northern Ireland forward". Nominations for the post of DUP leader close on Wednesday An election (if there is one) will take place on Thursday 17 December. MrDodds said he had always believed that he would only put his name forward for the leadership if he were a member of the Stormont Assembly. He said he had gone on record to say that it would be a disadvantage to attempt to lead the DUP from Westminster. Mr Dodds said that in other circumstances, it would be "natural and a great honour to lead the party," however, in his circumstances, it would be "wrong" to put his own personal standing above what he believed were the best interests of the DUP. Having served as first minister on a temporary basis in both 2010 and 2015, Mrs Foster has already had a taste of leading Northern Ireland's Executive. A solicitor, Arlene Foster has made a steady rise through the DUP's ranks since 2004 and is currently the Stormont finance minister. She began her political career with the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), however, transferred to the DUP not long after she was first elected to the assembly in 2003. A key ally to Peter Robinson, Mrs Foster has extensive experience at the negotiating table and addressing news conferences. In November, Mr Robinson announced that he was to quit as Northern Ireland first minister and DUP leader after "stabilising" Stormont. Within a week of European Tour boss Keith Pelley making clear he wants to fight slow play, his counterpart at the R&A, Martin Slumbers, was holding a St Andrews conference on the issue. There is broad agreement that the sport needs to speed up and it seems the authorities appreciate the tone can be set by the professional game. There were a number of fascinating revelations emerging from the two-day Royal and Ancient pow-wow hosted by the governing body's head of rules David Rickman. It was revealed that 24 slowcoaches have been penalised shots in the history of the European Tour, among them Severiano Ballesteros, Jamie Donaldson and Nicolas Colsaerts. There have been no such penalties imposed in the last two years though which is being interpreted as a sign that the message is getting through. However the Masters and US Open winner Jordan Spieth nearly fell foul of slow play rules during the third round of this year's Open at St Andrews. The young American and playing partner Sergio Garcia were told to speed up by referee Kevin Feeney after falling out of position with the rest of the field. "Sergio made an effort," the European Tour official revealed. "On the ninth tee I said 'thank you Sergio for your efforts, but Jordan you have made no effort whatsoever, so you are on the clock'." The intervention had the desired effect in every sense. "When he was on the clock, Jordan went birdie, birdie, birdie and he came over and thanked me after saying it was effectively the kick he was needing," Feeney added. There are, though, several players who employ different modes depending on whether they are being timed. As soon as officials turn their attention elsewhere they slip back to their more familiar sluggish ways. This is not only selfish but a form of cheating and it is why I would like to see referees with every group at top professional events. There is surely enough money in the game to pay for the officials and, if not, find a watch sponsor to pay for them because they would play a vital role in timekeeping. Swift rulings would allow matches to continue without delay with those decisions being final, just as in other sports. There should be no time for second opinions to arrive on a buggy while you are trying to entertain and engage millions of viewers. Scottish Ryder Cup player Stephen Gallacher told the conference that he would like to see a system of random spot checks on timings. He says it would "create a little bit of fear." He also revealed that he has played in America with a golfer who carries a cheque book with him so that he can pay the fines he is happy to collect. Whenever I have discussed slow play with leading stars and officials there is strong agreement that the imposition of scorecard penalties is the only way to create an effective deterrent. Players develop pre-shot routines that leave nothing to chance. This is often down to the influence of mind coaches who seek to create the ideal mental state for every shot. They are given trigger points at which they turn on their game faces. This might be the moment they put on their golf glove - a first move in an elaborate routine designed give them the best chance of hitting the perfect shot. Never mind that they could have slipped on their glove while walking down the fairway and be ready to hit as soon as it becomes their turn. This is a bugbear of Ryder Cup winner Ian Poulter and former world number one Luke Donald has also been outspoken against rivals who manage their on-course time inefficiently. But there are many ways in which golf can speed up. Gallacher questioned why golfers should be allowed five minutes to find lost balls. "Why can't it be three minutes?" he asked. The way courses are presented has a role to play. There is a macho belief among players at all levels that deep rough and penal setups make for great golf when nothing is further from the truth. Aside from breeding a one dimensional "hack and hope" form of the game it makes for a miserable time spent searching for balls rather than enjoying the game. Quoted in the Scotsman newspaper, Stuart McColm, the course manager at the Castle Stuart course near Inverness, said: "We shouldn't be pounding on people hitting bad shots. "A good course architect thinks how to keep you in the game rather than walking with a golf ball in your pocket." There are plenty more aspects to be considered. The prevalence of "green books" to assist reading putting surfaces does nothing for the pace of play. Ultra-fast greens make putting more treacherous and time consuming than it should be. Limit the distance golf balls fly and courses can be shorter, taking less time to walk. Outlawing the practice of caddies lining up their players should be among rule changes aimed at making the game more time friendly. Should we be required to take the flag out of the hole for putts on the green? Why penalise someone for hitting the flag with a shot from on the putting surface? Why not make it simpler to play ready golf? What about making it easier to play out of turn to keep the game moving? These were among the many questions that were put forward at the Time for Golf conference at the home of the game last week. It was the first such gathering to tackle this issue for 12 years and it will result in a pace of play manual being published next spring. Along with the European Tour's avowed intention to eradicate slow play, it is another encouraging step in the right direction. The 30-year-old Russian's 15-month ban for using meldonium ends on Wednesday when she plays in the first round of the Stuttgart Open as a wildcard entry. French federation president Bernard Giudicelli said he would call Sharapova before the decision is made public on Facebook at 18:00 BST. Sharapova is a two-time winner at Roland Garros, which starts on 28 May. Giudicelli, who said he will discuss Sharapova's wildcard with French Open tournament director Guy Forget on 15 May, added: "The tournament is bigger than the players." The five-time Grand Slam champion practised on Wednesday morning for the first time since her ban, before her match against Italy's Roberta Vinci. Vinci has questioned the decision to give the Russian wildcards, but it has been defended by WTA chief Steve Simon, who said it is in keeping with how former dopers are treated in other sports. In addition to Stuttgart, Sharapova has been granted wildcards by the organisers of the events in Madrid and Rome. She does not have a world ranking after her points expired during her suspension and would need to reach the final in Stuttgart to be eligible for French Open qualifying. The Daily Telegraph reports that Sharapova is likely to be given a wildcard into qualifying at Roland Garros rather than the tournament's main draw. Meanwhile, the prize money for the French Open has been increased by 12% to 36 millions euros (£30.5m). The winners will win 2.1 million euros each, a 100,000-euro increase from 2016, with first-round losers earning 35,000 euros. The confirmation follows a series of divisive hearings during which Democrats attacked Mr Sessions' record on civil rights. Democrat Elizabeth Warren was silenced after recalling historic allegations of racism against Mr Sessions. The Alabama senator's nomination was among Mr Trump's most controversial. The vote largely followed party lines, with just one Democrat senator - Joe Manchin of West Virginia - voting for Mr Sessions. Mr Sessions' Republican colleagues in the chamber applauded him as their majority carried him over the line. He will now take charge of the Justice Department and its 113,000 employees, including 93 US attorneys. Addressing the chamber after the vote, Mr Sessions said: "There is no greater honour than to represent the people of Alabama in the greatest deliberative body in the world. "I appreciate the full debate we've had and thank those afterwards who found sufficient confidence to cast their vote to confirm me as the next attorney general. "I fully understand the august responsibility of this office." But Mr Sessions added that "denigrating people who don't agree with us is not good for our politics". During debates ahead of the vote, Ms Warren and other Democratic senators recalled criticism of Mr Sessions by Martin Luther King's widow, who opposed his nomination as a federal judge in 1986, alleging he had intimidated black voters. That nomination was rejected by a US Senate panel amid concerns over allegedly racist comments made by Mr Sessions, and remarks which appeared to be sympathetic to white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan. David Duke, the former leader of the the KKK, welcomed the confirmation, writing on Twitter: "Mr Trump's appointment of Bannon, Flynn and Sessions are the first steps in the project of taking America back." Ms Warren, who was temporarily banned from the chamber, wrote: "If Jeff Sessions makes even the tiniest attempt to bring his racism, sexism & bigotry into the Justice Department, he'll hear from all of us." At 70, Mr Sessions is the same age as Mr Trump and was an early supporter of the president. Mr Trump has lashed out on Twitter at Democrats stalling his cabinet picks, including Mr Sessions, who is only the sixth of Mr Trump's 15 nominees to be confirmed. The Alabama senator is widely seen as an inspiration for Mr Trump's anti-immigration policies, and his close ties to the president and special advisor Steve Bannon have raised concerns about his ability to be sufficiently independent from the White House. The confirmation follows a turbulent first fortnight for Mr Trump, during which the president has faced heavy criticism over his controversial travel ban and a raid in Yemen which killed one US Navy operative and a number of civilians, including children. The collision happened on the A470, between Church Street in Rhayader and the Llangurig roundabout, shortly after 11:45 GMT on Friday. Margaretta Jones, 77, and her grandson Ned Jones, from Capel Bangor, Aberystwyth, died at the scene. Vida Alford, 86, and Gillian Alford, 58, both of Shropshire, who were two passengers in the other car, also died. A 57-year-old man remains in hospital with serious injuries, Dyfed-Powys Police said. Specialist officers are supporting the families and the coroner has been informed. Sophie Lindley, who uses stabilisers, was cycling on Trent Road, Grantham with dad Dale, when they were stopped. Police accepted while cycling on pavements was illegal, officers should use discretion with young children. One cycling charity pointed out being under 10, Sophie is too young to be able to break the law. Mr Lindley said they regularly let Sophie cycle to school. "We stopped to look at some ducks when the officer pulled over and said she had to get off," he said. "He said 'The law is the law' and she was not allowed to ride on the path. "He said 'If I catch you put her on her bike further up the road I will turn around and confiscate the bike'. "I couldn't believe it. It's daft." Sophie's mum Emma Stephenson said she understood it was illegal to ride on the pavement. "But, it is ridiculous to think a four-year-old is not allowed," she said. "The most unbelievable thing is they were going to confiscate the bike." Lincolnshire Police apologised and said: "Safety is our priority and cycling on the pavement is illegal. "However, common sense obviously prevails and in the case of young children officers should use their discretion and offer the most appropriate advice for the circumstances." Roger Geffen, of national charity Cyclists' Touring Club, said the officer was "unfair" and "wrong". "The police officer has forgotten that children under the age of 10 are below the criminal age of responsibility so they can't break laws and can technically ride on the pavement," he said. "Everyone lets their children ride on the pavement. It is perfectly normal and not criminal." Mr Davis told MPs the "major criterion" was getting the best access for goods and services to the European market. "And if that is included... then of course we would consider it." But Brexit-backing Tory Peter Bone said "people would be absolutely outraged" if the UK continued to pay the EU. Later, in a speech to CBI Wales in Cardiff, Mr Davis sought to reassure business leaders that immigration controls after Brexit will not be imposed "in a way that it is contrary to the national and economic interest". On Thursday in the Commons, Labour MP Wayne David asked Mr Davis: "Will the government consider making any contribution in any shape or form for access to the single market?" Mr Davis replied: "The major criterion here is that we get the best possible access for goods and services to the European market - and if that is included in what you are talking about, then of course we will consider it." His comments prompted sterling to rise by 1% to $1.26 against the dollar. But Mr Bone told the BBC: "People will be absolutely outraged if we came out of the EU and then carried on paying them £15bn a year, £20bn a year, whatever the figure is - no I don't think it's going to happen." However, Chancellor Philip Hammond said Mr Davis was "absolutely right not to rule out the possibility that we might want to contribute in some way to some form of mechanism". He said: "You can't go into any negotiation expecting to get every single objective that you set out with and concede nothing along the way - it will have to be a deal that works for both sides." But prominent Leave campaigner and former Conservative cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith said Mr Davis had been simply not ruling anything in or out of the government's Brexit negotiations. "I don't think there's any way in which you can reach a deal where you can say 'I'll pay some money in and therefore you allow us access' because you might as well have tariff barriers," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One programme. 'Strange' negotiations And Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was sceptical about Mr Davis's suggestion. "The idea of paying for access? I'm not really sure what that means," he said. "If Europe puts tariff barriers against products coming from Britain, the government's going to pay all the tariffs - that sounds a very strange way of entering the negotiations when you're trying to get market access both ways. It doesn't sound a very well thought-out policy." In the early 1990s the European common market grew into the single market we know today. At its heart is a free trade area, which is a market where there are no tariffs or taxes on trade between countries. While its members can trade freely with each other, they also impose common tariffs on imports from non-EU countries. Being a member of the single market means a country gets the benefit of any trade deal struck between the EU and other countries - the flip side is that member states cannot set their own tariffs. But the EU's single market is much more than a straightforward free trade area, because it also includes the free movement of goods, people and capital. Crucial to the single market is a common framework of regulations that mean companies in countries such as the UK, France, Italy or Poland have to abide by common standards - whether they trade across the EU or not. That is to stop one business or country having an unfair advantage. Most countries in the single market also have a single currency - the euro - but the UK did not adopt it. Reality Check: Who has access to the single market? The prime minister's spokeswoman said the Brexit secretary had only been repeating government policy on leaving the EU. "What he said in the House this morning is consistent with what we have said... that it will be for the UK government to make decisions on how taxpayers' money will be spent," she said. "As we approach these negotiations we want to get the best possible access for British business to trade with, and operate within, the single market, while also taking back control of immigration." Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron accused the government of "sending mixed signals" and of being "in an absolute mess". He added: "How can the government claim they have a mandate for their Brexit deal when they don't even know what it is themselves?" Mr Davis confirmed that Article 50, which sparks the formal legal process for leaving the EU, would be triggered by 31 March, 2017 and said the government was seeking "a smooth and orderly exit" from the EU and was "examining all possible options, focusing on the mutual interests of the UK and the European Union". The Brexit secretary also defended Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who according to Sky News had privately told four EU ambassadors he backed free movement. Mr Davis said the comments were "at odds" with what he knew of Mr Johnson's views. "He believes very clearly - and he made this very clear in the Leave campaign because he was a much more major part of it than I was - that some immigration is useful. We all agree on that," he said. "That's not the same as thinking free movement of people as it now stands is a good idea. It's a problem." In a speech to business leaders in Wales later he said that "no-one wants to see labour shortages in key sectors" and that Britain "must win the global battle for talent". "As we take back control of immigration by ending free movement as it has operated before, let me also say this: We won't do so in a way that it is contrary to the national and economic interest," he said. Speaking from Rome, Mr Johnson insisted he had told the ambassadors during a breakfast meeting "that immigration had been a good thing for the UK in many respects - but it had got out of control and that we needed to take back control. I think you will find the record reflects that". At the UN General Assembly in New York, she said the UK would not "walk away from our partners in the world". She announced that hundreds of British troops will be sent to Somalia to help combat al-Shabaab jihadists. And she urged leaders to work together to tackle "the big security and human rights challenges of our time". Mrs May warned that people felt left behind by the "increasing pace of globalisation". In her first address to the general assembly, Mrs May said: "We must never forget that we stand here, at this United Nations, as servants of the men and women that we represent back at home. "And as we do so we must recognise that for too many of those men and women the increasing pace of globalisation has left them feeling left behind. "The challenge for those of us in this room is to ensure that our governments and our global institutions, such as this United Nations, remain responsive to the people that we serve. That we are capable of adapting our institutions to the demands of the 21st Century." Announcing the deployment of British troops to Somalia, Mrs May said that Britain had played a "leading role" in the fight against al-Shabaab. Some 30 training teams will be sent to Somalia, involving up to 70 troops at a time, and a new UK headquarters is to be set up in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. Previously, just 12 training missions had been planned, with two deployed at present. The plan involves £7m of funding to improve the skills of the Somali and African Union mission in Somalia (Amisom) forces. The UK will also use £20m of aid money to help return refugees to Somalia, spending more than half in Kenya which has been housing displaced Somalis. She said: "Since 2010, with huge support from across the region, and critically the commitment of Somalis themselves, al-Shabaab has been driven from all the major cities it used to control. "It is vital that as an international community we continue to support countries in the region that are contributing thousands of troops, and that we continue to build the capacity of Somali security forces." Mrs May - who also addressed the UN summit on refugees on Monday - said the organisation was "uniquely placed" to tackle war, terrorism, climate change, human trafficking and mass migration. "The biggest threats to our prosperity and security do not recognise or respect international borders," she said, adding: "And that if we only focus on what we do at home, the job is barely half done." Mrs May will also hold a series of face-to-face meetings with other leaders and take part in a summit on refugees called by US president Barack Obama. In his final address to the general assembly, President Obama said countries should do more to help refugees, "even when the politics are hard". "We have to imagine what it would be like for our family, for our children, if the unspeakable happened to us," he said. "And we should all understand that ultimately our world will be more secure if we are prepared to help those in need and the nations who are carrying the largest burden with respect to accommodating these refugees." Two activists who helped the migrants from Afghanistan, Sudan and Syria board the vessel have also been convicted. They were among a group of people who broke through a barrier at a protest to board the Spirit of Britain ferry. It comes as local authorities prepare to evict migrants from part of the camp in Calais known as the Jungle. About 1,000 migrants in the southern half of the camp have until 1900 GMT on Tuesday to leave. The BBC's Lucy Williamson says that none of those sentenced to imprisonment by the court in Boulogne will be spending Monday night in jail because they have all served their sentences while waiting for their trial in custody. Fines of €300 (£233) issued against the two activists have been suspended, our correspondent adds. A large banner strewn across the palace's Golden Gates reads: "20 years today, we remember the people's princess" and despite the rain, there is a steady trickle of people arriving to leave tributes. It is a more muted affair than in 1997, when a sea of flowers formed outside the gates after Diana's death. It was a moment when much of the country seemed united in grief - a time that her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, have said they struggled to understand. But the end of August marks two decades since the princess died in a car crash in Paris, prompting some people to pay their respects once more. In pictures: Diana, Princess of Wales "I followed her life and felt like I could really relate to her," says Tasha Jane, who has come to London from Australia to lay a single white rose, 20 years after she first laid blooms outside the princess's London residence. "It seemed like a fitting tribute, like the song," says Tasha, referring to the opening lines of Elton John's Candle in the Wind, which was rewritten in 1997 with the lines: "Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts". Tasha, a teacher from Melbourne, and her partner Jason Crane, are also travelling to Paris to lay flowers in Diana's memory. In France's capital, the Flame of Liberty statue has become an unofficial memorial to the princess. "She was such a fun, beautiful person, and a humanitarian," Tasha says. "I teach teenagers and the anniversary has got a new generation interested in her life." Tasha lived in London in the 1990s, and remembers Kensington Palace in the days after Diana's death as like a "fairyland". "When I was here before, the tributes just grew and grew, [there were] cards and roses as far as you could see," she says. Jason, whose father is from the UK, says he remembers Diana as "very glamorous - but with a mischievous side", and says he feels it is important to remember the princess for her charity work. Huddled under an umbrella with a bunch of sunflowers is Kareen, a teaching assistant from Tonbridge in Kent, who along with her partner Paul, from east London, recently laid tributes to Diana in Paris. The couple say they feel a personal connection to the princess, because they met on the day she married Prince Charles, on 29 July 1981. "Our anniversary is the same day as Diana's wedding - we met at a garden party in 1981," says Kareen. "It's been an emotional couple of weeks, with all these programmes about Diana." Today, large-scale public displays of mourning may not seem unusual, as terror attacks in London and Manchester draw people out onto the streets, but the public reaction to Diana's death was largely unprecedented. Paul recalls his "disbelief" at seeing crowds of people laying flowers outside the palace in 1997. "People were devastated," he says. "I should have brought roses - white roses," Paul adds, as he lays the sunflowers. "Diana was a person who was filled with sunshine so maybe it is fitting." Angela Silva, 66, has briefly left her London restaurant to leave a bunch of coloured roses, "not as big as the bouquet I left before, 20 years ago," she says. "I really did expect more people to be here, maybe more will come in the afternoon," she adds. Twenty years ago, Angela was among more than one million people who lined the route of Diana's funeral cortege from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey. "I stayed all night to be at the front, there were thousands of people," she says. She says her grandchildren - aged nine, 10 and 14 - all wanted to come with her but she told them to stay home because of the bad weather. "They love Diana," she says. "I think she still has meaning for young people, a lot of their parents will have told them about her and what she did." The palace and surrounding Hyde Park is a popular tourist destination, and several passers-by pause by the gates to read the tributes. One man hurriedly leaves a bunch of roses, saying only: "She was a lovely lady." Above the flowers, a rain-spattered banner shows pictures of Diana with her sons and the words: "Grandma Diana... Love always". A smudged note, signed by the Gould family, from Egham in Surrey, reads: "Still not forgotten after 20 years", while another letter says that her "two boys are like you in so many ways". Behind the closed gates are newly-planted gardens, which have been filled with Diana's favourite flowers: white roses, scented narcissi and a carpet of forget-me-nots. Her sons William and Harry, and the Duchess of Cambridge, have visited the White Garden, which has been transformed for the anniversary, in their own private tribute to the mother that so many strangers remain anxious to remember. Sharon Partington stood down after she was suspended by Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust following whistleblowing complaints last year. The trust said it was "obliged to complete the disciplinary process". Former chief operating officer Sheilah Finnegan, who has since retired, was cleared of misconduct. Chief executive Jonathan Parry was sacked last month amid the allegations, the details of which have never been revealed. The trust said it was required to continue with the disciplinary process due to the former staff members' seniority. In a statement, the trust said: "It was determined that the former director of human resources would have been dismissed as a consequence of gross misconduct had she remained in employment. "Ms Partington has the right of appeal against the decision." The disciplinary panel ruled that no action would have been taken against Ms Finnegan. The trust's deputy director of performance, Richard McCarthy, was cleared of misconduct at an earlier hearing. Chairman Sue Musson said she would like to "acknowledge the bravery of the individual who came forward and spoke out about their concerns". She said the "overriding objective" had been to handle the matter "appropriately and fairly". "Following this difficult time for everyone concerned, the trust now has an opportunity to focus on the future," she added. However, Southport councillor and local Liberal Democrat NHS spokesman Tony Dawson criticised the process. He said: "Two valued NHS employees who had given many years of service to the local hospital were publicly placed in the firing line and hung out to dry when they were apparently without fault. "Surely, the inquiry which now needs to be held is into the competence and actions of the people who decided to suspend the four managers in the way that they did originally."

In the first robbery, in Herschel Park, last Thursday, an 18-year-old boy and his friends were approached by six men on two motocross bikes. Three men, one with a knife, on one of the bikes, demanded their phones. Shortly afterwards, a woman and her children were approached in Upton Road by three men on a single blue motocross bike who grabbed her gold necklace. The first incident happened at about 15:00 BST. The men, believed to be riding a riding a black, red and white Suzuki motocross bike, escaped with two iPhones. Following the second robbery, at about 15:20, the blue motorcycle left in the direction of Lascelles Park. Det Con Daniel Spiers of Thames Valley Police CID said: "I would like to hear from anyone who was in Herschel Park or Upton Road at the time of these robberies, or anyone who may have seen two motocross bikes in this area on Thursday." He accepted a glass of fruit juice from a five-year-old girl. His move came a day after MPs expressed support for proposed changes to anti-corruption legislation. After nearly nine hours of debate, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told parliament the "sense of the House" was behind Anna Hazare's key demands. However, an expected vote on the proposals did not take place. Mr Hazare, 74, had vowed not to stop until a tougher bill was passed, but doctors have warned that his health is deteriorating rapidly. He has so far lost 7kg (15lbs) in weight and has refused medical advice to be put on an intravenous drip to help him rehydrate. Opening Saturday's debate in Delhi on the proposed amendments, Mr Mukherjee said India was "at a crossroads", with the focus squarely on the country's parliamentary democracy. Mr Mukherjee said that while there was support for Mr Hazare's proposals, a solution would have to be found within the Indian constitution. Meanwhile, governing Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi said he had "serious doubts" that a single bill would end corruption. Prison vigil for corruption crusader Biswas: Arrest complicates debate Mr Gandhi told MPs that the problem could not "just be wished away" and thanked Mr Hazare for "helping people to articulate this sentiment". "There are no simple solutions to eradicating corruption. But I have serious doubts that a single bill will end corruption. What we require is a set of effective laws," he said in a rare speech. In April, Mr Hazare called off a hunger strike after four days when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he could help draft legislation to create a Citizens' Ombudsman, or Jan Lokpal, an independent body with the power to investigate politicians and civil servants suspected of corruption. The final version of the bill was presented in early August, but Mr Hazare and other activists rejected it because the prime minister and senior judges would be exempt from scrutiny. This week, the government appeared to agree to the demand that the prime minister would be brought under the ombudsman's jurisdiction. Mr Hazare has also said parliament should come to an agreement on three more of his proposals: His campaign for the strengthening of the anti-corruption legislation proposed by the government has received widespread support, with tens of thousands of people attending protests across the country. India has recently been hit by a string of high-profile corruption scandals including a telecoms bribery scam that may have cost the government $39bn (£23bn), alleged financial malpractice in connection with the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games and allegations that homes for war widows were diverted to civil servants. Critics of the government say the scandals point to a pervasive culture of corruption in Mr Singh's administration. A recent survey said corruption in Asia's third largest economy had cost billions of dollars and threatened to derail growth. Leroy Fer opened the scoring from close range after Rovers keeper Jason Steele had missed Junior Hoilett's cross. Sebastian Polter had a shot well saved by Steele, while Shane Duffy had a header cleared off the line for Rovers. Both sides struggled to create chance in the second half, before poor defending allowed Akpan to head in Ben Marshall's throw-in at the far post. Akpan's late goal, his second since joining Rovers from Reading in August, means QPR are still without a win since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was appointed as manager on 4 December. Rangers were gifted their opening goal, as Steele left Fer the easiest of finishes when he rushed out to gather Hoilett's low cross and failed to gather in the ball. Duffy almost gave Rovers an unlikely equaliser on the stroke of half-time, but Matt Phillips reacted quickly to stop his header from Craig Conway's corner. The hosts rarely tested QPR keeper Joe Lumley in the second half, but the 20-year-old failed to deal with Marshall's long throw to gift Akpan an equaliser. Blackburn manager Paul Lambert said: "How we went down a goal, I don't know. All credit to the team, I thought the very least we deserved was to get something from it. "I was happy with them coming back. We've had a wee bit of a hard time the last few weeks and we're playing against a good side. "I thought it was no more than we deserved. It's a big point." QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: Media playback is not supported on this device "There were so many positives that really I should only look really at those positives and we need to build from those positives. If you keep performing like that, that win will come. "I'm not really that worried or nervous, I'm very proud of the boys and how they have performed. "They should have got more but football is cruel, you just need to make sure that the next time it is you that does it and keep on working." The agreement brings the price for each stealth fighter aircraft below $100m for the first time, the Pentagon said. The Pentagon says it will save around $728m compared with its last order. US President Donald Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the price of the F35 programme. Mr Trump tweeted in December that the costs of the project were "out of control". However, defence analysts have said that a subsequent discount, which Donald Trump announced at the end of January, was in line with what had been flagged by Lockheed and Pentagon officials for months. Lockheed Martin said on Friday: "President Trump's personal involvement in the F-35 program accelerated the negotiations and sharpened our focus on driving down the price." The F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons programme, costing about $400bn (£316bn). But the price per jet has been steadily declining as production increases. The US military will buy 55 of the jets, while 35 of the F35s will be sold abroad. The UK is to buy three of the fighter planes. Lockheed, the main contractor, and its partners including Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems, have been working on building a more cost-effective supply chain to fuel the production line in Fort Worth in Texas. Larry has been in residence at Downing Street since 2011, and Palmerston was brought in to keep rodents at bay in the Foreign Office earlier this year. Gladstone, who is thought to be 18 months old, is a former stray adopted from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home. Larry was one of the few post holders to survive Theresa May's government reshuffle in July. It was confirmed he would stay on after the departure of David Cameron, who took the opportunity in his final prime minister's questions to quash rumours he did not get along with the mouser. Relations between Larry and Palmerston are rumoured to have been strained, and there was speculation that Larry's recent trip to the vet was the result of one of their run-ins. But the latest feline appointment - who is named after former Liberal prime minister and four-time chancellor William Ewart Gladstone - signalled a willingness to stand up to No. 10. A caption on Gladstone's photo - taken of him in a cat carrier - reads: "The humans had to keep me in this cage in case I ran down the street and tormented some other mouser called 'Larry'. Personally, I've never heard of him." Asked why Gladstone, who was previously called Timmy, had been drafted in a spokeswoman said it was to "help control the mice problem in the 1 Horse Guard Road building". The Spain Under-21 right-back has signed a three-year contract with the Magpies, who were promoted back to the Premier League last season. "He has a lot of motivation because he has a point to prove," said Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez. Manquillo, 23, is Newcastle's fourth signing of the summer. He follows the arrival of winger Jacob Murphy from Norwich, midfielder Christian Atsu from Chelsea and defender Florian Lejeune from Spanish side Eibar. "I'm very happy to be here," said Manquillo, who made 20 Premier League appearances last season during a loan spell at Newcastle's rivals Sunderland. "From the first moment that Rafa Benitez called me I just knew that I had to come here, to such a big club." Manquillo started his career at Atletico Madrid, making his first-team debut in the 2011-12 season. He went on to make only a handful of appearances for the Spanish side before joining Liverpool in 2014 on a two-year loan deal. That was terminated the following year after playing just 10 games for the Reds and Manquillo then spent a season on loan at French side Marseille.

I'll show 'em," he told the Racing Post in his first interview since the accident. His wife Caroline said: "Our lives have changed enormously but I can look beyond his disabilities." John Thomas McNamara fractured two vertebrae in his neck after being thrown from his horse Galaxy Rock in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup on 14 March, 2013. He is at home in Limerick after he was discharged from the North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport, Merseyside, last year. "Of course there have been low days and the worst were when I was in hospital in Dublin because they gave me no hope. That just made me more determined and I said to myself this is not going to get me beat. I'll show 'em," he said. "The sheer number of visitors and the support from the public helped me keep going. All those people making the time to come to see me - it showed a few people liked me anyway. "Not being able to play with the kids is the hardest thing. And it always will be." McNamara, who is immobile from the neck down, can spend up to four hours at a time - although often less - off a ventilator and is helped by two carers around the clock. He moves around the family's stables in a wheelchair and retains his love for horses. "He has amazed me the way he has dealt with his total surrender of privacy and dignity," added Caroline. "John has accepted that this is the way it is. As long as he gets to the yard every morning and can immerse himself in his horses -- he leaves on the van at ten to eight in the morning on the dot - then he'll be all right." The 19-time champion jump jockey AP McCoy said he planned to visit his friend more often following his own retirement at the end of the season. "When you go to see him now he makes it easy for you, but I admit I find it's still so hard," said McCoy. "I can recall every detail of that day at Cheltenham and one image in particular sticks with me. I can still see his clothes hanging on his peg with his shirt on top, and realising he would never be coming back into the weighing room. That memory will never leave me. "And the next day at Cheltenham? Do you know, I just didn't want to be there. When I remember lads from the weighing room who have been killed, God rest them, and look at JT, of course it makes you think. "But he has three young kids, which makes a huge difference to your life, and Caroline is an amazing girl who just gets on with it. She is beyond words." The 30-year-old heptathlete gets the award for her services to athletics. Dame Jessica, who won gold at London 2012 Olympics and silver four years later in Rio, announced her retirement from the sport in October. Paralympic gold medallists Grace Clough and Will Bayley have both been honoured with MBEs. Mayor of Doncaster Roselyn Jones is to receive a CBE. Dame Jessica will be awarded her third World Championship after Tatyana Chernova was stripped of the 2011 title for doping. Clough is being honoured for rowing, and Bayley for table tennis. Both picked up a medal at the games in Rio. Former Barnsley FC goalkeeper and coach Norman Rimmington, who died this month, is to be posthumously awarded the British Empire Medal for services to football and the community of Barnsley. Mrs Jones, who became mayor in 2013, is to be given the accolade for services to local government. The firm was originally fined a record $5.2bn by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) but the two sides have settled on a lower amount. "This is the best outcome for the company," MTN executive chairman Phuthuma Nhleko said. The fine was imposed amid fears that militants were using the phone lines. Africa Live: BBC news updates The NCC confirmed in a statement that payments would be made by instalments over the next three years. The band were at the forefront of the Liverpool scene but never made it big. The tapes were recorded in March 1960, two years before Starr was poached by Brian Epstein to join The Beatles. Found in Storm's sister's cellar, the tapes will form the group's first and only album release later this month. Starr joined the group at the age of 18 in 1959, but the band got left behind during the Merseybeat boom in the wake of The Beatles' success. They only released a couple of singles, including one produced by Brian Epstein in 1964, but they failed to chart. Frontman Storm, born Alan Caldwell, was known for his gold lame costumes and on-stage charisma. He died in 1972 aged just 34. "Rory was a performer," his sister Iris Caldwell said. "He wasn't, like The Beatles, a brilliant songwriter. They called him The Golden Boy and Mr Showbusiness. "Rory was so far ahead of his time. He was doing glam rock then." Rod Stewart is among the artists thought to have been influenced by Storm's style, she said. Epstein did not give Storm a real shot at the big time because he "didn't want any major competition" for The Beatles, Caldwell believes. The tapes include tracks recorded at the Jive Hive club in Crosby, north of Liverpool, and at Storm's house, known as Stormsville, where bands including The Beatles would get together once clubs like The Cavern had shut at night. "I suppose these tapes have been in an old sealed box ever since [they were recorded]," Caldwell said. Author and Radio Merseyside presenter Spencer Leigh said the group were "crucial to the early years of Merseybeat". "Even though the playing is very rough and ready, they have tremendous presence and were probably considerably better than the Beatles were in March 1960," he said. Iris Caldwell's son Adam F, a Mobo Award-winning drum and bass DJ, said the recordings allowed a new generation to hear his uncle's style and personality for the first time. "The quality of the tape left a bit to be desired - it was over half a century ago - but the spirit and rawness suggest a whole scene waiting to happen," he said. "I am so proud that my uncle was, as has been suggested to me often, the father of the Liverpool sound." Storm's on-stage antics included climbing up to the high diving board during one gig at New Brighton swimming pool. "He had a cloak on and stripped right off to his little gold Speedos," Caldwell recalled. "He dived into the water, came up and carried on singing the song. "Another time, they had a box on the side of the stage. He made his entrance by jumping from the box onto the stage. He did manage to break a couple of ribs but he still finished the spot and then went off to hospital." Other than Starr and guitarist Lu Walters, whose whereabouts are unknown, the original members of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes have all passed away. The pairing of Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins led 3-0, before Mark Allen and Joe Swail levelled, but Trump's 93 in the decider put them through 4-3. The English duo come up against holders China B, with teenagers Yan Bingtao and Zhou Yeulong, as they defeated Belgium. Ding Junhui and Liang Wenbo of China A eased past Wales and face Thailand, who defeated Iran. Pereira held the position of sporting director at Italian Serie A side Fiorentina last season. The Reds, who finished 16th in the Championship in 2015-16, are without a manager after parting company with caretaker boss Paul Williams in May. "Forest has huge potential and I believe and hope I can contribute significantly in bringing the club back to the Premier League," said Pereira. "It is a big honour and, at the same time, a great challenge to work with such a historical and important club as Nottingham Forest." Pereira also worked as a CEO at Portuguese team Sporting Braga for 13 years, as they twice reached the Champions League group stage and the final of the Europa League in 2011. "I want to sincerely thank the chairman for offering this opportunity to me," he continued. "I respect deeply the history of the club but we have to look ahead and create the background for a new chapter of success, stability and victories. "Our focus is to prepare the team for the coming season and to fulfil our ambitions. We need the support of all Nottingham Forest fans to achieve our goals." The Pakistan and Afghan Taliban movements, al-Qaeda and less well-known militant outfits such as the Haqqani Network used the area to hold hostages, train militants, store weapons and deploy suicide bombers to attack targets in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today the militants have gone. Virtually the whole of North Waziristan is in Pakistani army hands. The army believes the defeat of the militants was one of the most successful anti-jihadist campaigns the world has yet seen. In two years of fighting the army lost 872 men and believes it killed over 2,000 militants. "Before 2014 North Waziristan was a hub of terrorist activities," said General Hassan Azhar Hayat, who commands 30,000 men in North Waziristan. After the army moved in "those who resisted were fought in these areas… the complete agency was cleared". But many militants managed to escape, slipping across the border to eastern Afghanistan to fight another day. Many are now operating there with impunity, some helping the Afghan Taliban in its battle against the government in Kabul while others attack targets in Pakistan. The latest group to establish itself in the area is Islamic State, although the degree of control exercised by Iraq-based Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over his supporters in Afghanistan is unclear. When the jihadists fled North Waziristan they left behind the apparatus that had helped keep their movement in power. Pakistani army officers today jokingly refer to one village, that was home to many senior militant commanders, as the Taliban's Pentagon, and they describe another where militants were trained as the Taliban Sandhurst. As they moved across North Waziristan, the army found prisons, a media centre hidden under a mosque, bomb-proof tunnels and a huge roadside bomb factory. With hundreds of bags of fertiliser and large blue plastic vats filled with foaming chemicals, the facility turned out thousands of bombs that were used all over Pakistan and Afghanistan. The closure of the roadside bomb factory, and others like it, has made a difference. Last year there were 441 violent jihadist attacks in Pakistan. That compares with 2,586 attacks in 2009. Across North Waziristan as a whole the army found 310 tons of explosives and more than two million rounds of ammunition. For many years, when it was accused of offering sanctuaries to the Afghan Taliban, Islamabad used to argue that it was unable to prevent militants moving into Afghanistan to launch attacks. It was impossible, Islamabad said, to control such a long, remote and porous border over which villagers with relatives in both countries moved freely. But now it is faced with the mirror situation - Afghan-based militants carrying out attacks in Pakistan and the army trying to control the border. The army says more than 1,000 forts have been built and sophisticated American radar equipment installed to monitor cross border movements. The situation at the border is complicated by the fact that, while Pakistan considers it to be a legitimate international border, Afghanistan has never accepted it as such. The battle for North Waziristan - like those for Mosul and Aleppo - has left widespread destruction. Many homes have been reduced to rubble. There are whole villages where no building has a roof on it. "When we came back we faced the problem of no electricity and water," said Saifur Rahman, who spent several months living in the nearby town of Bannu during the worst of the fighting between the army and the militants. But he had been determined to return. "This is our land. We love it and I don't care if the facilities aren't there. I will still come back." The army is now building infrastructure to tempt people to return. As well as new roads, there are brand new schools with facilities that rival anything on offer elsewhere in Pakistan. One of the recently constructed and very well equipped schools just outside Miranshah is currently completely empty but has places for 1,000 children when the families decide to return. Jihadist violence is not over in Pakistan. The state is not moving against some of the militant groups that concentrate their activities in Kashmir, Afghanistan and India. And Afghan-based militants from the Pakistani Taliban and other groups remain a potent force. A recent attack on a Sufi shrine in the province of Sindh killed over 80 people. Police in Karachi say they believe the attack was organised by Afghan-based militants. But for all their latent power, the militants in North Waziristan have been repulsed from their stronghold and the tribesmen are gradually returning to resume lives disrupted by conflict. Mark Beresford, of Offmore Road, Kidderminster, died in hospital on Saturday after paramedics were called to a house on Friday evening. Henry Lewis Jones, 22, of the same road, appeared before Redditch magistrates accused of killing the 55-year-old and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear at Worcester Crown Court in the next few days. But what if the manager cannot make it? German second-tier club St Pauli have offered a solution to such a dilemma. In the absence of boss Ewald Lienen, a masked man was used as they paraded new striker Marvin Ducksch. St Pauli - regarded as a cult club in Germany - posted an image of the mask along with a message reading "a one off" after fans began to ask questions. Ducksch, a 22-year-old signed from Borussia Dortmund, said he was looking forward to "playing in front of big crowds again". Meeting his new manager would be a start. Mark Woods has had Walnut since he was a puppy. Now 18 years old and "on his last legs", the dog is going to be put down on Saturday morning. But before his best friend's death, Mark wants to take him for a stroll on a beach in Cornwall and he wants company. Mr Woods who lives in Newquay said he is "flabbergasted" by the response to his social media appeal for people to join him on Walnut's last walk. More on Walnut's last walk, plus more Devon and Cornwall news. He said: "Sadly I am having to have Walnut euthanised on Saturday and so we will be having a last walk together on his beloved Porth Beach. "I would love it if dog lovers or owners and friends would join us for a celebration of Walnut." He said the reaction has been "incredible" with people from as far afield as Surrey and Derbyshire offering their support. The event is being shared on social media under #walkwithwalnut. Mr Woods has three other whippets but said Walnut "has got something about him" and they've been through an "awful lot together". That includes two marriages, three engagements and a move from London to Cornwall. He is taking Thursday and Friday off work so he can spend time with his much loved pet and give him the best possible send off. According to his owner, Porth Beach, which is closed to dogs during the summer months, is Walnut's favourite beach. Orkney's Dr John Rae is credited with finding the final part of the north west passage, around the top of North America. Born in 1813, he ended up being shunned by much of Victorian society, due to claims he reported about cannibalism. Permission has been granted for a plaque to be created in Westminster Abbey commemorating his achievements. Dr Rae signed up with the Hudson's Bay Company - when the fur trade in Canada at its peak - and charted vast areas of unmapped territory using his surveying skills. It was in his search for traces of Capt Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition of 1845 - when he and his entire crew died - that Dr Rae found himself condemned to obscurity. In 1854, he had recorded accounts from local Inuits, who said that some of Franklin's crew had resorted to cannibalism in a last desperate effort to stay alive. He reported his findings in confidence to the British admiralty - but they appeared in a newspaper. Franklin's widow - and much of Victorian society - was horrified at some of Dr Rae's findings. His reputation never recovered. The controversy overshadowed the fact that, during his searches for the Franklin expedition, Dr Rae had mapped out a navigable shipping route linking the north Atlantic to the Pacific. He died, in relative obscurity, in 1893. Canada's native Cree called him 'Aglooka' - meaning 'he who takes long strides'. A statue of Dr Rae was unveiled on the Stromness harbour front in Orkney last year. Explaining that Celtic assistant Chris Davies had refused a handshake, McGhee said there were "no problems" with Rodgers after the visitors' 4-3 win. He then added: "Some of the other staff are not really Celtic-quality in terms of their behaviour." Rodgers responded by saying McGhee's comments were "unfair". The Celtic boss went on to say: "My staff are exemplary in their behaviour. We know what we are representing. We have integrity." Rodgers was unhappy that the Scotland assistant boss had tried to interfere with his side's pre-match shooting practice. "He comes up into our warm-up before the game to ask our players to warm up in a different area," he said. "He shouldn't be doing that. I don't think that is very befitting of an assistant manager of a national team and manager of Motherwell." Fir Park captain Keith Lasley later told BBC Scotland that Celtic have been the only team not to comply with requests to not use the goalmouth prior to kick-off. "There is usually a set of goals next to the main goals for shooting drills," he told Off The Ball. "It might sound like a trivial thing, but the pitch has been pretty poor in recent seasons and now we've got it into a great state. It's just courtesy that you use the other area, so you're not ploughing up the goalmouth. "Every other club has done it. I think the groundsman politely asked them if they could move and that was declined. "Mark marched up and got involved for 30 seconds, which didn't go down too well." On his touchline snub from Davies, McGhee said: "I don't know his name actually - you [the media] have told me his name. He wasn't shaking hands with me. He seemed for some reason to be angry that they won. Explain that to me?" Rodgers was keen to focus on his side's comeback from 2-0 down in a remarkable game but was drawn further on the spat. "I said congratulations to the groundsman here before the game because the pitch is very good," he added. "But why can't we do our warm-up here at Motherwell? The one we have done in every stadium in the world we have been to so far this season. "So I don't know what the issue was there and maybe that's where it sparked from. "But that isn't the story of the game. The story is that my team were brilliant in the second half." The male victim was waiting for a fare in Thames Street with his window open when the attack happened shortly after 22:30 BST on Tuesday. A white flatbed van drove past and the taxi driver felt a "burning sensation" as the liquid hit him. The man washed the liquid away with water and was not seriously injured. Thames Valley Police said the driver found damage to his vehicle's window seal caused by the substance. Det Insp Jason Kew said he was "keeping an open mind" about possible motives. "This was a distressing incident for the driver," he added. "It was fortunate that he was not seriously injured." To get to this figure, Oxfam has taken figures from a Credit Suisse report, which looked at wealth distribution since 2000. There are two clear trends over that period. From 2000 until 2009, the proportion of wealth held by the wealthiest 1% fell. From 2010 until 2014 it rose. Oxfam has taken the figures since 2010 and used them to extrapolate what will happen in the coming years. Clearly, that is the methodology that will make inequality look the most severe. In fact, by 2014 the proportion of wealth held by the top 1% had not quite reached the level it was in 2000. Is it fair to assume that the trend of the last five years will continue? The collapsing price of oil may be bad news for some of the super-rich. But to work out what needs to be done if there is to be less inequality, we have to look at why that trend was reversed in 2009, which is a tricky question. Oxfam's report issued on Monday talks about the richest people spending a great deal on lobbying activities and now Oxfam has been talking to BBC News about wealthy people and big companies not paying enough tax. I have not seen strong evidence that that explains the big turnaround in 2009 and 2010. A trend since then that may be responsible is the growth in the value of financial assets, as a result of policies such as quantitative easing, that governments have been using to help their economies recover from the financial crisis. Oxfam provides a list of the world's billionaires, broken down by which sector they work in. Top of the list with 326 billionaires is finance, well ahead of real estate with 160, so the super-rich would be just the people to benefit from financial assets rising in value. Of course, when Oxfam refers to the top 1% wealthiest people in the world, they are not just talking about the super-rich, they are talking about 70 million people. You don't need a yacht or a ski chalet to join that group. You'd need assets, including property, worth $798,000 (£526,000), which would only just buy the average house in London. If you own a home in London and do not have much mortgage left to pay on it, then you may be part of the 1%. The report from Credit Suisse on which all this is based was an ambitious piece of work, but also carried caveats. Not all countries collect data that would allow researchers to analyse the distribution of wealth, and there are judgements that need to be made about the definitions used. For example, the people with the lowest wealth are not those with nothing, living in sub-Saharan Africa. It is those living in rich countries who are in debt and so count as having negative wealth. Should those people count as a negative figure in the research, or should they count as zero wealth? But the report's authors are confident that while the data "remains poor for many countries", the broad trends are still reliable. For Oxfam, a few percentage points here or there are probably not relevant in the assessment of whether inequality is unacceptably high, but insights into why the trend of inequality reversed in 2009 and 2010 would help with policy proposals. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton missed the first session and the start of the second with an engine problem but was still 0.373 seconds clear of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. His team-mate Nico Rosberg was third fastest after failing to get a clean run on the fastest tyres. The McLarens of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button were 16th and 17th. Alonso is taking part in his first race weekend of the year after missing the Australian Grand Prix two weeks ago on medical advice because of concussion suffered in a pre-season testing crash. Media playback is not supported on this device Hamilton's pace-setting time was immensely impressive in the light of a series of problems with the car. The world champion suffered an engine problem in the first session before setting a lap time and was told to switch off and park out on track because the team had no telemetry, which can help inform the team how much damage might be done by continuing to run. He missed the first part of the second session while Mercedes completed repairs but was called in again after just five laps because the team again lost all telemetry. In a difficult session for Mercedes, Rosberg failed to get a clean run while simulating qualifying on the medium tyres and ended up 0.055secs slower than Raikkonen. But BBC F1 analyst Allan McNish said the long-run times set during the race simulations in the final part of the session suggested Mercedes still had an advantage of between 0.7secs and a second over Ferrari. McNish said: "Ferrari are the best of the rest but the gap to Mercedes is exactly the same as it was two weeks ago in Australia. "Lewis Hamilton, despite all his problems, was able to bang in a lap time and it shows their dominant form." Vettel would almost certainly have been in the top three overall if he had not had his first lap on the mediums wrecked when the session was stopped because Manor's Roberto Merhi was beached in a gravel trap at Turn 11. The German then spun on his second attempt, at the same place as Merhi. There was encouragement for Red Bull after a difficult first race. Daniil Kvyat was an impressive fourth fastest overall, ahead of the Williams cars of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, but his race-simulation run was truncated when he hit trouble with his engine. However, it is likely Kvyat's pace was flattered by the Russian doing his run later than others, when there would have been more grip on the track. Team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was down in 10th place after managing only six laps. Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen was eighth fastest, ahead of Sauber's Marcus Ericsson. Lotus also had a troubled session. Pastor Maldonado, who ended up 11th fastest, saw his rear bodywork come loose on the straight and team-mate Romain Grosjean was 18th fastest after hitting engine trouble midway through the session. Malaysian GP practice results Malaysian GP coverage details Whenever I travel abroad, I feel duty-bound to dispel a few myths and preconceptions about my homeland. Over the years, one of the most common - especially among those from more tropical climes - is that of a snow-smothered Scotland. "That's the Highlands," I will generally say. "Down in the south, it is mostly rain." In a lifetime spent in Dumfries and Galloway, that has usually been the case. But, on one day exactly 20 years ago, I was proved wrong in quite dramatic fashion. The snows started steadily on the morning of Monday 5 February 1996. "It'll no lie," we said confidently. "It'll all be melted by the morning." History had shown us to be correct in those statements but this time the snow just kept coming and quickly settled across much of the region. At my place of work at the time, on the local newspaper in Dumfries, it gradually dawned on us that things might be a little different this time around. Those living furthest from the town were allowed to escape earliest but my own home was barely a mile from the office. But even that short distance proved one of the trickiest journeys I can ever recall. I abandoned my car at the end of the road, unable to make progress through a wall of snow. By afternoon, road travel was impossible in much of the region and even when snow ploughs could clear a route it quickly became blocked by abandoned vehicles. There was a first report of a bus carrying 40 passengers getting stuck in the snow and emergency rest centres were opened. At their peak, they accommodated about 2,500 people - many of them passing through the region on the A74(M). The snowfalls were the first real test of the Dumfries and Galloway's Major Emergency Scheme. A council report on the events of the time said the region was "effectively cut off from the outside world". At the height of the problems 12,000 properties, including some of the emergency centres themselves, were without power. The Met Office said the 50cm (20in) recorded at its Eskdalemuir observatory was the deepest level it had ever recorded in February. It is small fry, of course, compared with some of the major falls seen elsewhere. Nonetheless, it caused significant disruption and eventually, the army was called in to help get to the most vulnerable people and start with clean-up operations. It gave the region an eerily quiet air for a couple of days as most people had to give up on cars and resort to travelling on foot. Trudging through the snow - particularly on the first day after the falls - took particular effort with significant drifts in many places. Yet there was a certain camaraderie among those who did venture out. Complete strangers stopped you to talk about the weather conditions - so unusual for this sheltered corner of Scotland. There were fears, in the immediate aftermath, of further blizzards but they were fortunately blown further north and the feared impact of the thaw was mitigated by it being much slower than anticipated. As a council report put it: "Slowly the region got back to normal after five days of severe disruption." And I had to revise my version of how little snow we saw in Dumfries and Galloway.

In Drama, they know all about the crisis. Factories have closed, jobs have moved across the border to Bulgaria, and many people have upped and left. "When I came back here six months ago I was really surprised by how bad it was," says Yiannis Tsakiris, who bucked the trend by returning to Drama from Manchester in the UK last year. He's opened a coffee shop in what was a derelict plot in an old building on the town square. "When I registered a new business at the tax office," he says with a rueful grin, "even they told me I was crazy". "We sell Greek coffee for one euro, and we pay 43 cents in tax on every cup. It makes no sense." The sun is shining and people are sitting at tables outside the cafe enjoying some winter warmth. But the economic chill is proving hard to shake off. This is conservative small-town Greece - a long way from Athens. It's a traditional bastion of support for centre-right parties like New Democracy, which leads the outgoing government. But just down the road at Syriza's local campaign headquarters, supporters of the radical left coalition believe they can win even in a place like this, and certainly nationwide. "It's either Syriza or austerity," says Myrta Tourtouri, a young PhD student who is running for office as an MP for the first time. "We're building a new country, and a new economy and we're very happy about that." It all sounds good in theory, but there have been veiled and not-so-veiled warnings from politicians across Europe. Syriza, they suggest, could lead Greece out of the eurozone if it insists on writing off a large chunk of debt, and tries to change the rules of the game. "I don't think threats are an option," Ms Tourtouri says. "We're sending a message from places like Drama that this is what people want. It's a strong negotiating position, based on democratic support." At the local hospital everyone knows that years of huge cuts in public spending have hit the Greek health service hard. Undaunted, the local New Democracy MP, Dimitris Kyriazidis, is walking the corridors, canvassing support. It probably helps that his son is one of the doctors here. "Get well soon," he says to a slightly startled patient. "Make sure you get out by Sunday so you can vote." Mr Kyriazidis admits that austerity has created real hardship in the health service, but he argues that the old system was wasteful, and needed reform. He is dismissive of Syriza's plans to increase spending once again, on health, on education, on everything. "Syriza says they'll spend more money, but they don't tell us where they'll find it," Mr Kyriazidis says. "We'd like to spend more too. But right now we have to live within our means." "We have to be serious and responsible," he adds. "We shouldn't trick people or lie to them, no matter the political cost." Many Greeks still share his reservations, but there seems little doubt that more and more people are willing to give Syriza a chance. In a nearby village, Ilias Perintsalis spends his time making toys for his son in a workshop in his back garden. He is a stonemason by trade, but the work dried up several years ago as the crisis took a firm hold. Ilias comes from a family with decades of involvement in centre-right politics, but now both he and his elderly father, Kostas, feel betrayed. Both of them are intending to vote for Syriza. "We've been humiliated," Ilias argues. "All the old parties are responsible - they've destroyed our democracy." And while the election isn't over until all the votes are counted, Syriza is making ground by convincing people that it is now a viable alternative. In Drama it certainly feels like the stage is set for change. "It's been too far, too fast," Yiannis Tsakiris says of five years of austerity, as he rolls another cigarette. "A lot of people here feel they have nothing left to lose." "It rains a lot more in Manchester," he admits with a laugh, before becoming serious again. "Maybe I'll go back to the UK. I'm worried about the future, and I'm worried about my family." Since 1987, the Metropolitan Police (Met) said it had dealt with 750,000 documents, taken 8,854 actions, provided 6,180 statements, gathered 17,960 exhibits and interviewed 188 witnesses. The following shows the key dates in a case which, after six investigations, three years of legal hearings and an estimated £30m cost, remains unsolved. Daniel Morgan's body, with an axe embedded in his head, is found in the car park of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham. Six men are arrested over the murder but police find there was not enough evidence to charge any of them. An inquest at Southwark Coroner's Court gives a verdict of unlawful killing. Papers are again submitted to the CPS but no charges brought. The Met refers the case to the Police Complaints Authority (now the Independent Police Complaints Commission) after allegations against the police by Mr Morgan's family. The review by Hampshire Constabulary looks at "allegations that police were involved in the murder of Daniel Morgan". Three people are arrested by the force conducting the investigation. Two of them are charged with murder and one for perverting the course of justice. The Director of Public Prosecutions discontinues proceedings. The IPCC inquiry concludes without any evidence produced to support any allegation of criminal misconduct by Met officers. A covert investigation, Operation Two Bridges, finds information relevant to the case. Following the investigation, charges are brought in connection with an unrelated matter. A review by the Met's Murder Review Group finds new investigative opportunities and recommends the case should be re-investigated. The Met launches a new covert investigation, Operation Abelard. Police appeal for witnesses and information on the case in Crimewatch. Eight people are arrested during this period but all are released on bail. The Met submits evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for consideration. The CPS says there is insufficient evidence for a prosecution and all people previously bailed are released. The case is referred to the Met's Murder Review Group which concludes all lines of inquiry are exhausted. Another investigation, Operation Abelard Two, begins. Two men are arrested and bailed. A third man is arrested and bailed. James Cook and brothers Glenn and Garry Vian are charged with murder. Two other men are arrested, of which William John Rees is charged with murder, and the second with perverting the course of justice. The case against the second man was later discharged. A serving Pc in Southwark is arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office and bailed. The Pc's bail is cancelled and no further action taken against him. His arrest was not in connection with Mr Morgan's murder but in connection with the five other arrests. He is suspended and due to face a misconduct hearing, but resigns before that. A seventh man is arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice. He remains on bail. A woman is arrested and bailed on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. The woman is released with no further action taken. William John Rees, James Cook, Glenn Vian and Garry Vian are granted conditional bail pending a trial in November 2010. The judge imposes reporting restrictions on the case. James Cook is discharged. William John Rees and Glenn and Garry Vian are formally acquitted. The police and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are blamed in a report for the collapse of the trial. The report, carried out by both the Metropolitan Police and CPS, said three boxes of potential evidence were not disclosed to the defence and that several "supergrass" witnesses were not properly handled. Two names are set to dominate the theatre landscape over the coming months: William Shakespeare and Harry Potter. A wealth of productions marking the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death will be taking place across the UK, including high-profile offerings from Shakespeare's Globe and the RSC. Meanwhile, Jack Thorne's new play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will receive its world premiere in London's Palace Theatre in July, with previews from late May. The two-parter features an adult Harry (played by Jamie Parker), who now works at the Ministry of Magic, and his youngest son Albus Severus Potter. Noma Dumezweni, who recently stepped in at the last minute to replace Kim Cattrall in Linda at the Royal Court, will play Hermione Granger. Paul Thornley plays their old school friend Ron Weasley. The plays look set to spark the kind of Potter-mania that surrounded the release of the books and films about JK Rowling's boy wizard. Among the year's Shakespearean highlights is Kenneth Branagh's Romeo and Juliet - opening at London's Garrick Theatre in May - with Richard Madden and Lily James as the star-crossed lovers, and Derek Jacobi as Mercutio. The Branagh season also sees the return - in January - of Red Velvet, with Adrian Lester reprising his role as pioneering African-American Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge. Featuring everything from the bloodbath at the end of Hamlet to the poisonous asp in Antony and Cleopatra, Northampton's Royal & Derngate's 2016 season includes a preview of Spymonkey's The Complete Deaths which has its official premiere at the Brighton Festival in May. In April, two-time Olivier nominee Michael Pennington will play King Lear at the Northampton venue ahead of a national tour. Don Warrington will play another King Lear at Birmingham Repertory Theatre (19 to 28 May), directed by Talawa Theatre Company's Michael Buffong. At Shakespeare's Globe in London, the anniversary weekend on 23-24 April will see the return of a two-year world tour of Hamlet, which will have its four final performances back on the Globe's open-air stage after travelling to some 195 countries.

Oxford-based Rebellion said it is the biggest deal of its kind in 30 years and could bring "long-vanished" classic comics back into print. Characters from Tammy, Battle, Whizzer and Chips will now join the iconic Judge Dredd in the Rebellion line-up. The comics are in the Fleetway archive, which was sold by media group Egmont. The archive includes banned title Action, humour comics Oink! and Whoopee, comics aimed at girls like Misty and Sally, as well as World War One serial Charley's War. Rebellion's owners and founders, Jason and Chris Kingsley, previously bought 2000 AD and its sister publication The Judge Dredd Megazine from Egmont in 2000. Rebellion's head of book and comics publishing Ben Smith said: "I am delighted we have the opportunity to return these to print and develop new stories based on iconic characters." Publisher IPC launched 2000 AD in 1977 in the hope of using a science fiction comic to take advantage of Star Wars-inspired space mania. Since then it has won numerous awards and helped launched the careers of famous writers and artists including Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Mark Millar. Swansea swimmer Lewis Fraser won the 100m butterfly, adding to his earlier bronze in the 50m butterfly. Medi Harris also won her second medal of the games with bronze in the 200m backstroke. There was also a bronze in the girls' rugby 7s, as Wales beat Fiji 19-14 in the third-place play-off. Wales are now ninth in the overall rankings with seven medals in total. The crash involved a Peugeot van, a Vauxhall Zafira and a Porsche all travelling eastbound. It happened at about 13.30 BST on Monday, near the junction with the A1079 at Grimston Bar, North Yorkshire Police said. The Porsche driver, a man in his 40s, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released on police bail. Six people from Bradford - a man, a woman and their four children were in the Vauxhall. The woman and three children had serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The 11-year-old, from Bradford, was pronounced dead in hospital. The Porsche driver suffered minor injuries, as did the driver of the Peugeot van. The Peugeot and the Zafira were thought to have been stationary in heavy traffic, police said. Officers have issued an appeal to anyone who may have dash-cam footage to get in touch. The warning follows a rise in the popularity of drones and model helicopters as Christmas gifts. Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) said the aircraft could cause power cuts if they crashed into equipment. SHEPD also warned that damaged drones could injure pilots on the ground. Pilots could also be killed attempting to retrieve the toys from substation enclosures, it added. The Civil Aviation Authority warns that drones should not be flown within 150m of a built-up area. SHEPD head of operations Rodney Grubb said: "The model planes and drones that are on the market nowadays are really powerful and can fly really fast and high. "If one of them strikes a power line or crashes into a substation, it can potentially damage an important piece of equipment and cause a power cut, or even serious injury to the pilot. "If you've been given a drone or a model helicopter for Christmas, we want you to enjoy it in a safe environment where there is no risk of hitting power lines or substations." If a model aircraft or drone does fall into a substation, SHEPD is urging people not to go in after it "no matter how expensive it is". The electricity network operator wants people to contact its emergency service centre instead. Sarah Brennan, 36, from Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, gave birth to Eryn in September. She was born seven weeks premature, weighing 3lb 11oz (1.7kg). Mrs Brennan and her husband Mark have thanked the special care baby unit (SCBU) at Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, where Eryn spent three weeks. The couple had just been placed on the IVF waiting list when they found out Mrs Brennan was pregnant. But her waters broke in her 29th week of pregnancy and she spent two weeks being closely monitored in Singleton Hospital, Swansea. She returned home but had an emergency Caesarean on 30 September at Princess of Wales Hospital as the baby was in a breech position. Mrs Brennan, who works as a project manager at RAF St Athan, said: "Although Eryn was born nearly two months early she is a right little bouncer now. "You would never think she was a premature baby." Mrs Brennan's employer has donated £500 to the SCBU. Coyle has taken charge of Blackburn and Stewart has not ruled out working with his long-term colleague again. But the former Airdrie boss, who was in charge of the Diamonds from 2002 to 2006, may also pursue being a manager in his own right again. "I would never say never to anything," said the 50-year-old Scot. "When I was manager of Airdrie I was there for four-and-a-half years and I loved it. "It was a new experience for me because I was just moving from being a player into management but I genuinely loved it and I'd definitely look at doing it again. "Myself and Owen think we work really well together, we've had a lot of success together and if that opportunity came up, it would be fantastic. "I had three or four opportunities to go out on my own when I was working with Owen, but I just felt at that moment in time the two of us worked well as a partnership and I still believe we'll have success as a partnership in the future." Stewart has also worked with Coyle at St Johnstone, Burnley, Bolton and Wigan over the last decade since leaving Airdrie. He enjoyed his spell in Major League Soccer but, with Coyle, felt the time was right to return to the UK. "It definitely was a fantastic experience," he explained. "But there was only one reason why we left and that was family. Initially we were looking for our families to go out to the States but it just didn't happen. "The people at Houston were fantastic with us. They helped us settle in really well and they couldn't have done anymore for us. When it got to 17 months it just got far too much. "I probably learned more in 17 months there than I did in the last five or six years here as far as coaching and looking at and analysing different teams. "Nearly every player was new to us, you didn't know their strengths or weaknesses." Travelling can take its toll for MLS sides and the weather can also be hazardous. "We went up to New England last year and about 20 minutes into the game there was a lightning warning and when the sound goes off you need to go in," he added. "So, we went in and had an hour and 20 minutes delay. We then came back out and played the rest of the first half. "We then went in the dressing room at half-time only to be told there would be other lightning delays. I think we started the game at 19:30 at night and finished the game at 00:30. It's the longest game I've ever been involved in. "The travelling sometimes can be horrendous depending where you go. We went to Vancouver, it was five hours - Seattle, Portland something similar. It's not just that, there's a two-hour time difference as well. "When you go to Colorado and Real Salt Lake you've got to acclimatise to the high altitude and that definitely works as an advantage to them. "Teams coming to Houston encountered the heat and the humidity and we took that to our advantage as well, there is no doubt about it. "If you get a good result in the MLS away from home, it's a fantastic result because everybody has a better home record than what they've got away. We had a fantastic home record. I think we lost only two games at home in a year."

The yellow character was paraded at Firhill Stadium as part of a new deal with US investment firm, Kingsford Capital, thought to be worth £200,000. The mascot's quirky look soon saw thousands of comments and memes appear on social media sites around the world. While some backed Kingsley others admitted to finding it "terrifying". Stuart Drummond, who was the Hartlepool mascot, H'Angus the Monkey, and once even the town's mayor. told BBC Newsbeat Kingsley will bring shame on the good name of mascots. London-based American PR W1Girl tweeted: "Were I a child this would make me wet my pants". Thistle unveil 'terrifying' mascot Design and technology blog Gizmodo declared: "Partick Thistle's Kingsley is terror mascot-ified". The verdict of Irish design student Aaron Roles was: "Nightmares are made of this". Another tweet by shurelyshummishtake said: "Let's see who's brave enough to crack the 'Partick Thistle Nil' jokes now that Kingsley is on the scene". Numerous posts on Twitter have likened Kingsley to the infant Maggie from The Simpsons. Others thought of the baby's face in the BBC children's programme Teletubbies while a likeness to Mr Sneeze has also been noted. Numerous memes have also appeared - even one where Kingsley features in Fifty Shades of Gray. Not everyone is negative, however. Alistair Potter, deputy editor of The Metro website, tweeted: "It's an early declaration, yes, but Kingsley is the greatest sporting mascot of all time. Thanks Partick Thistle." Jd Wenzel's opined: "All hail Kingsley, the demented sun god of Scotland!" Kingsley was unveiled as a new mascot to mark Partick Thistle's new sponsorship deal with California-based firm, Kingsford Capital. The deal, for a minimum of two years, will see the Kingsford brand on the Jags' strips and Firhill Stadium. Glasgow-based artist Shrigley, a Thistle fan, had introduced the club to Kingsford Capital's manager, Mike Wilkins. Mr Wilkins, who has been described as an art aficionado, and Mr Shrigley, first met several years ago over dinner in San Francisco. The Californian later decided to support Thistle and made contact with the club's managing director Ian Maxwell. A formal sponsorship deal was established thought to be worth £200,000 over two years, meaning Kingsford's Shrigley-designed logo will now feature on the front of Thistle's home and away strips for at least the next two seasons. Mr Wilkins said: "I had been looking for an opportunity to get involved with something like this in the UK for a while but hadn't been able to find the right match. "When I got talking to David Shrigley about Partick Thistle it seemed like it could be the perfect fit. The next step for me was to speak directly to the club." Mr Wilkins said his dealings with the club had gone "really well" and helped convince him that "this was an organisation I very much wanted to be involved with". He added: "I hope that this relationship will become more than just your average sponsorship deal. "As a commissioner of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC, I understand the power of art to communicate a shared spirit. "It is very much like sport in that regard and, with David's help and genius, I hope we can bring something unique and new to an already fantastic club." Mr Shrigley said he was honoured to have been involved in the deal. "I can't wait to see my design on the front of the shirts and around Firhill and just hope the fans like what we're trying to do," he said. "It's safe to say we have a few surprises in store for the supporters and we're already in talks with a few other artists to arrange some pretty exciting giveaways over the course of the season." Thistle's managing director described the link-up with Kingsford as "a real coup". "It has been part of our long-term strategy to begin attracting new sources of funding to the club and this is a fantastic way to start," said Mr Maxwell. "We need to look at how to attract new people to football in Scotland, both in terms of funding and in terms of supporters, and some of the ideas that Mike and David have already brought to the table are really interesting. "Partick Thistle is much more than just a football club and I certainly hope that this partnership too will turn into much more than just a sponsorship deal in the weeks, months and years to come." Media playback is not supported on this device The former Baggies striker said the club offered him no support during an eight-week drugs ban, which came after "his drink was spiked" in a nightclub. But Pulis said there were no hard feelings towards the 23-year-old, who joined Stoke in January. "He left the club with me on good terms and I hope he does well," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy. "He's at a club that I've got a lot of good feeling for and a lot of passion for, and I hope they have a great time together. "West Brom have done fantastically well and we should spend more time talking about what we're doing at the moment, rather than about someone who has left," added Pulis. Stoke City manager Mark Hughes says Berahino's interview with BBC's Football Focus adds "a little bit more meat on the bone". "That's always been Saido's stance on how the drug was in his system and he's never wavered from that," added the 53-year-old. "A lot of people have been victim to that and that's always been his stance so there's no reason to disbelieve him." Berahino was sent to a conditioning camp in France in a bid to get him fit while at West Brom. Pulis stands by his claim that the striker was unfit and overweight. "When he was here we thought his fitness levels weren't what was required at that time," he said. "The great thing about it was Stoke wanted him, we were happy with the deal and Saido was delighted. As long as they don't finish above West Brom and beat us in the league, of course I want Stoke to do well." West Brom are eighth in the Premier League, seven points above Stoke who are 10th. On Saturday, the Baggies play at Manchester United, while the Potters have an away game at Leicester City. Watch the full Football Focus interview on BBC One on Saturday from 12:00 BST. Kiwi Gopperth crossed out wide and from a driving maul in between James Hook's try, as Wasps led 15-10 at half-time. David Halaifonua scored just after the break for the Cherry and Whites before South Africa international Willie Le Roux replied on his first start. Max Scott burst through to give Gloucester hope, but Gopperth's third and Christian Wade's try proved enough. Gopperth scored 25 of Wasps' points in a game where Gloucester kept in touch until the closing stages. Dai Young's side have gone six points clear at the top of the table and have now won their last 15 league games in Coventry, since Saracens were victorious in December 2015. After his debut as a replacement in the loss at Sale, winger Le Roux made his full debut for Wasps and showed some classy touches before he crossed from close range. The Cherry and Whites sit in ninth after the defeat, and have lost their last five away games in the Premiership. Wasps director of rugby Dai Young: "The last couple of weeks has rocked us a little bit, and how we responded to that bump in the road was always going to be a measure of where we are as a team. "We felt a bit of pressure today, and nerves and anxiety, which crept into our game a bit early on, but hopefully this win gets us back with a bit more belief and a smile on our face. "We scored in the dying seconds so it was really a one-score game, although I never felt we were going to lose it, and always thought we had a bit spare. "While we weren't outstanding today we found a way to win and put ourselves in a good position moving forward to next week." Gloucester director of rugby David Humphreys told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "I thought for large parts of the game were very good and we played some great rugby, with some great tries. "The last five minutes just before half-time cost us and those are the small margins against the very good teams. "When you're playing against a team with that x-factor that Wasps have we felt like every time we scored and got back in there, we conceded very quickly. "There was so much good in the game but to beat the best teams you have to cut down the errors." Wasps: Beale; Wade, Gopperth, Eastmond, Le Roux; Cipriani, Simpson; Mullan (capt), Taylor, Cooper-Woolley, Symons, Gaskell, Johnson, Young, Rieder. Replacements: Festuccia, McIntyre, Moore, Rowlands, Willis, Robson, Leiua, Bassett. Gloucester: Marshall; Sharples, Scott, Twelvetrees, Halaifonua; Hook, Heinz (capt); Hohneck, Hibbard, Doran-Jones, Savage, Thrush, Ludlow, Rowan, Morgan. Replacements: Matu'u, Orr, Afoa, Galarza, Kalamafoni, Braley, Trinder, Purdy. For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. Gerrard, 34, became free to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas team on Thursday and is believed to be wanted by clubs in the United States. The former England skipper, who made his Liverpool debut in 1998, will not move to another English club. Liverpool offered midfielder Gerrard a new deal in November and will make a statement on his future on Friday. Media playback is not supported on this device LA Galaxy president Chris Klein declined to comment on suggestions his club want to sign Gerrard, who scored two penalties in the 2-2 draw with Leicester City on New Year's Day. Jamie Carragher, Gerrard's former Liverpool and England team-mate, tweeted: "Sad day for Liverpool and English football. I think it's the right decision, all things considered." Match of the Day presenter and former England captain Gary Lineker tweeted: "One of the finest players to have graced the Premier League. A top, top player." Gerrard, born in the Merseyside village of Whiston, joined Liverpool's academy when he was nine years old, making his first-team debut as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers in November 1998. He replaced Sami Hyypia as club captain in October 2003 and led the club to the Champions League title in 2005, scoring his side's first goal as they came from three down to draw 3-3 against AC Milan and then win on penalties. Gerrard also won the Uefa Cup, two FA Cups, three League Cups, one Community Shield and two Uefa Super Cups. He won 114 England caps, having made his international debut in 2000, captaining his country for the first time in 2008 and leading them at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, as well as at Euro 2012. The midfielder retired from international football after England exited the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at the group stage. Speculation about Gerrard's long-term Liverpool future intensified following a newspaper interview in October in which he said he would join another club if he was not offered a new contract at Anfield. Reds manager Brendan Rodgers said on 1 December that the midfielder had been offered a new deal, at the same time dismissing reports that the pair had fallen out. Rodgers has said in recent weeks he wants to ration Gerrard's appearances in order to keep him fresh, leaving him on the bench for Monday's 4-1 Premier League win over Swansea. Gerrard was restored to the starting line-up for Thursday's match against Leicester and played the full 90 minutes. Taylor, who has won a record 16 world titles, threw at an average of 101.93 as he registered a speedy victory over Australia-based Platt. He will now face Kevin Painter, who he beat 7-6 in the final of the 2004 World Championship. "I think I'm cracking it and we've got a battle now," Taylor told Sky Sports. "For the first time in my career, I'm confident of winning it and that's rookie for me." Alan Norris beat John Michael 3-2, while Daryl Gurney secured a 3-1 victory over Jermaine Wattimena.

It is understood the driver in the white Ford Transit van was unhurt. The roads have now been reopened. IPhones account for about half of all stolen handsets and can be sold on for up to £250, according to the Met's gangs taskforce in Lambeth. The unit, which aims to tackle street robbery within minutes of it taking place, said offenders were traced three or four times out of 10. On Tuesday the Met launched a campaign to cut street robbery in the capital. It urges people to take steps to protect their valuables at a time of year when, according to the Met, there is historically a rise in this type of crime. Latest figures show the number of robberies and thefts in London increased overall last year, rising from 16,084 in December 2011 to 17,583 last month. Met statistics showed 56,680 mobiles - 28,800 of those iPhones - were reported stolen in London between April and September last year. This equates to 314 phones, including 158 iPhones, being stolen every day and accounts for about 70% of items taken in personal robberies. Last month 9,751 mobile phones were stolen in London. Det Ch Supt Simon Letchford said: "Having your personal possessions on show gives robbers a chance to make easy money. "Just being conscious of where you are and being careful about when you display your valuables can help you avoid being targeted." The gangs taskforce in Lambeth said using stop-and-search tactics they would track down the offender in about three or four cases in 10 - although the phone was not always recovered. The Met also revealed that the number of cases of people being robbed for jewellery in London rose from 2,440 in 2009-10 to 2,761 in 2010-11 and 3,589 in 2011-12. Police said young professionals out and about in the capital at entertainment spots or other public places were most likely to be victims of street robbery. 28 October 2015 Last updated at 11:32 GMT The Saudi ambassador in London has threatened "potentially serious repercussions" unless a more respectful discourse is developed, pointing out that his country is one of the UK's closest military allies in the Middle East and an important trade partner. So why does Saudi Arabia matter so much? BBC News explains its significance - in 60 seconds. Video produced by Mohamed Madi Both players would have been free agents this summer but the League Two side have triggered options to keep them at the club. Scotland Under-21 international Jones, 21, has scored nine goals for Crewe this season. Cooper, 20, has netted eight times in 47 appearances this term while also contributing nine assists. He hosted a syndicated TV show, The People's Court, for more than a decade, gaining an audience of millions for his private arbitration of real life small claims cases. Before his television career, Judge Wapner spent 18 years on the bench of the Los Angeles Superior Court. His son, David Wapner, said his father had died in Los Angeles in his sleep. He had recently been hospitalised with breathing problems. To appear on The People's Court, over which Judge Wapner presided from 1981-1993, the plaintiff and defendant had to sign a binding arbitration agreement. "Everything on the show is real," Judge Wapner told the Associated Press in 1986. "There's no script, no rehearsal, no retakes. Everything from beginning to end is like a real courtroom, and I personally consider each case as a trial." Judge Wapner became better known than the top judges on the US Supreme Court, many of whom were said to be fans of the show. He once settled a dispute between David Letterman and Johnny Carson on the latter's The Tonight Show. A truck owned by Mr Letterman had been towed away from a street in Malibu at Mr Carson's request, after he said it was an eyesore. The truck had damaged headlights when return to Mr Letterman, however, and Judge Wapner awarded him $24.95. The popularity of the TV court declined in the early 1990s, but flourished again from 1997 after the launch of Judge Judy, a show which Judge Wapner said he did not watch. Joseph Wapner received his law degree from the University of Southern California in 1948. He was awarded with the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart for his service during the Second World War. Wenjian Liu, a son of Chinese migrants, was killed with his partner Rafael Ramos on 20 December by a gunman with a grievance against the police. Speakers lined up to pay tribute at the service in a Brooklyn funeral home. In the street outside, hundreds turned their backs to a video screen when Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke. Many rank-and-file members of the New York Police Department (NYPD) resent Mr de Blasio's expressions of sympathy for anti-police protesters in recent months. The double murder by an African American gunman who claimed to be avenging black men killed by white police stunned the city. New York police commissioner Bill Bratton had urged officers to refrain from any further "act of disrespect", saying in a memo, "A hero's funeral is about grieving, not grievance." Mayor de Blasio told the funeral service: "All of our city is heartbroken today." Liu, 32, had lost his life while fighting for "all that is decent and good", he said. He paid tribute to a "young man who came here from China at the age of 12 in search of the American dream". Outside the funeral home, many uniformed officers could be seen turning their backs as the speech was relayed. Shortly after the policemen were shot, the head of the city's largest police union, Patrick Lynch, had lashed out at the liberal mayor, saying there was "blood on many hands". More than 20,000 officers attended Ramos' funeral on 27 December, and the sight of lines of police turning their backs marred the event for some. "The mayor has no respect for us," retired NYPD detective Camille Sanfilippo told the Associated Press news agency at Liu's funeral. "Why should we have respect for him?'' Patrick Yoes, a national secretary with the 328,000-member Fraternal Order of Police, said before the new funeral: "Across this country, we seem to be under attack in the law enforcement profession, and the message to take away from this is: We are public servants. We are not public enemies." The two policemen were shot following a wave of demonstrations over killings of unarmed black men by white police officers, beginning in the Missouri town of Ferguson last summer. There was anger in New York after a grand jury decided not to press charges against a white police officer over the death of unarmed black man Eric Garner, who was placed in a chokehold while being restrained by police officers. Mayor de Blasio had expressed solidarity with the protesters and had publicly wondered if his son, who is mixed-race, was safe from police. Some argue that such rhetoric helped to create an environment that encouraged violence against police. Funeral arrangements had been delayed so relatives from China could travel to New York. Liu's widow, Pei Xia Chen, said she had lost her "soul mate" and a "wonderful husband". His father broke down at the funeral as he described how his only child would telephone after every shift during his seven years in the force to reassure his parents he was safe. "You are the best son, you are the best husband," he said. "We are very proud of you, we love you forever." A vigil was held on Saturday in Chinatown where community members gathered to burn pieces of paper in honour of Liu, in keeping with Chinese tradition. The man who shot Ramos and Liu, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, killed himself in a subway station as police were closing in. Brinsley, 28, had a history of violence and mental instability. On the day of the shooting, he went on social media to say he was planning to kill police officers. The claim for £24,769,932, which needs to be validated, could result in the unknown ticketholder receiving the windfall as early as Monday. Camelot did not say if the winner was an individual or part of a syndicate, or where the ticket was bought. The winning numbers in Friday's draw were 3, 20, 28, 31 and 49, with Lucky Stars numbers 2 and 5. A National Lottery spokesman said: "After an unprecedented nine UK EuroMillions winners in 2015, it looks like the luck has rolled over into 2016. "We are delighted the latest big EuroMillions winner has come forward to claim their prize and, of course, the champagne is on ice ready to welcome them into the National Lottery millionaires' club." EuroMillions began in 2004 and the biggest prize in UK history was £161m, won by Scottish couple Chris and Colin Weir in 2011. The plane came down near Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire on Friday, killing the pilot and all three passengers. The airport reopened at 08:00 BST after it was shut over the weekend to allow for investigations. The Saudi Arabian embassy in London said it was working with the British authorities to repatriate the bodies. In a statement, the Saudi ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences to the Bin Laden family. The plane - an Embraer Phenom 300 - is reported to have belonged to an aviation firm owned by the Saudi-based family of the former al-Qaeda leader. The plane, which was arriving from Milan, Italy, crashed into a British Car Auctions site at the airfield, exploding on impact. The auction firm is contacting customers after about 30 vehicles were caught up in the blast. Hampshire police said it believed three of the dead to be the mother, sister and brother-in-law of the owner of the aircraft, all of whom are from the Bin Laden family. A force spokesperson said the Saudi Arabian nationals were visiting the UK on holiday. Police are carrying out a joint investigation with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). The airport, in Yateley, said the jet had crashed near the end of the runway while attempting to make a landing. Bees play a crucial role in the survival of many of the crops in our food chain - one in three mouthfuls of food depends on the pollinating insects, according to the British Beekeeping Association - but their numbers are significantly declining. A recent US report said that American beekeepers lost 44.1% of their hives between March 2015 - April 2016 - the highest rate of decline since the annual study began six years ago. There are a number of reasons for this dramatic fall. One is the deadly varroa destructor, a parasitic mite that feeds on bees, and can kill off a whole hive. At present, varroa infestations can be controlled, but not removed completely. Bee populations have also been killed by disease, and the use of certain pesticides and fungicides on crops. Together with the impact of varroa mites, this has also led to a big increase in colony collapse disorder - when worker bees abandon their hives. In the US the precarious situation has been made much worse since the summer, due to aerial spraying of insecticides to target mosquitoes that could carry the Zika virus. As the insecticides also kill bees, millions have died, wiping out whole honey farms. One report from South Carolina earlier this month said it looked as if the bees had been "nuked". But despite the continuing woes faced by beekeepers, a number of technology firms are trying to help. Bee Smart Technology aims to allow beekeepers to remotely monitor their hives, so that they can more quickly, and more easily, check whether there is a problem. Ivan Kanev, co-founder and chief executive, says: "We figured beekeepers don't really rely on modern technology. "The last meaningful innovation was the invention of the motorised vehicle so they could transport hives… so we decided to do something about it." Bee Smart, which has a research and development division in Mr Kanev's native Bulgaria, and a marketing team in California, has developed a small box of sensors that attaches to the frames in a hive. The system monitors a number of metrics including temperature, humidity, the colony's levels of activity, whether the queen is mating, and even the sound of the bees. Bee Smart also claims that its sensors can predict when a swarm is imminent. The box is battery operated and needs charging every three months. Data is sent via the cloud's data centres to Bee Smart, where it is processed, analysed and then sent to the beekeeper. Mr Kanev adds that in the US the beekeeping industry is big business, but is not predominantly about harvesting honey. "Here honey is a secondary thing for bee keepers, [instead] they rent out their bees for pollination services," he says. "They are transporting bee hives across the country to pollinate different crops." The almond farms of California, for example, which rely on honey bee pollination, will pay around $200 (£150) per hive for the service. Mr Kanev adds: "When you're transporting your beehive, as a beekeeper you might think of those as your assets - being able to remotely monitor their state is becoming very important." Bee Smart is set to launch a closed trial of its technology in the coming weeks, but Mr Kanev says that in tests so far there has been a "visible improvement" in beehive health, season after season. "The product is based around the idea that bees are critical for us and they are in danger," he says. In the UK Plan Bee is hoping to go one step further with a complete one-stop-shop for potential beekeepers when it launches in the next few weeks. Based in Motherwell, Scotland, it offers a monitoring service for the hives, complete with data analysis, powered by a credit-card sized Raspberry Pi computer. But Plan Bee does not want to exclude the human touch. "We'll provide the hives, the honey bees, and 28 visits a year to the beehive," said chief executive Warren Bader. "It's like garden maintenance but for bees." Fellow UK business Tumbling Dice is another firm looking to help beekeepers. It has developed an active vision system called Rana, which is currently being trialled by researchers in the US state of Utah. It also uses a Raspberry Pi computer to analyse individual video frames received from monitor cameras. The system can be programmed to track a specific event, such as when individual bees leave a hive. "This is more about looking at the foraging behaviour of the bees than the health of the hive," says Tumbling Dice founder Mark O'Neill. But what about efforts to tackle the varroa mite? Current treatments tend to involve chemicals, but one successfully crowd-funded scheme called Thermosolar Hives hopes to offer a hardware solution after raising more than $44,000. Invented by Czech scientist Roman Linhart, the Thermosolar Hive uses solar power to heat the inside to 40C for 150 minutes. He says this doesn't harm the bees, but will destroy the mites. The treatment then has to be repeated 10 days later to attack mites that return to the hive attached to bees who were out during the initial treatment. Mr Linhart, who has been a beekeeper for 25 years, and spent 10 developing the product, says his technology is preferable to the uses of chemicals, to which he says mites are becoming resistant. "Our [development] work took so long because we have tested it in different areas like high mountains, lowlands, cities, or regions with very hot summers," he told the Digital Trends website back in May. He also said he faced hostility from rivals. "There were some problems with company producing chemicals for varroa treatment, and some with people who are trying to breed varroa-tolerant bees," he added. "They were not very happy to see that something like our hive can disrupt their business." The Thermosolar Hive is due to start being delivered to buyers in January 2017. Responding to remarks by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Mr Trump told Fox News Radio the ban was "just a suggestion". Mr Khan has expressed concern that he would not be able to travel to the US under a Trump administration because of his Muslim faith. Mr Trump had offered to make an "exception" for Mr Khan. Mr Khan refused Mr Trump's offer, saying the New York businessman's views were "ignorant" and would make the UK and the US "less safe". Mr Trump proposed a ban on Muslims entering the US after attacks in Paris killed 130 people last year. The suggested ban has been widely criticised in the US and abroad but Mr Trump until now has stood by the proposal, saying it was needed to ensure US security. "It's a temporary ban. It hasn't been called for yet," Mr Trump said on Wednesday. "This is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on." Mr Trump has shifted positions in the past on a variety of issues only to change his stance days later. It's likely no coincidence that Donald Trump has softened the rhetoric surrounding his call for a sweeping ban on Muslim immigration into the US on the eve of his closely watched Washington meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan. When Mr Trump first unveiled his proposal, Mr Ryan's response was short and sharp. "This is not conservatism," he said. At the time Mr Ryan's voice was just one of many in the Republican establishment condemning what seemed an extremely controversial proposal from the New York businessman. Now Mr Trump is the presumptive nominee, and that Republican establishment has been moving - grudgingly - toward backing their new standard-bearer. Mr Ryan has been a holdout, however, saying he wants evidence that Mr Trump shares conservative values and principles. Mr Trump's latest rhetorical swivel could be an olive branch to the speaker - and, perhaps, a fig leaf allowing Mr Ryan to eventually offer his support. He has often given conflicting accounts on issues including his tax plan, abortion and transgender people accessing public toilets. This flexibility has led to concerns among Republican Party leaders about his candidacy. Top Republicans including House Speaker Paul Ryan have said they are not ready to support Mr Trump in the general election. Mr Trump will meet Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Mr Ryan and others on Thursday in an attempt to resolve differences. Also on Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney - who ran against President Barack Obama in 2012 - separately raised questions about Mr Trump's tax returns. Mr Trump has so far refused to release his tax records - a common practice among presidential nominees. Mrs Clinton has posted her past eight tax returns on her website. "It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service," Mr Romney said. Holmes' time of two minutes 32.96 seconds has stood since 2004, the year she won 800m and 1500m Olympic golds. "It will be tough, but I've everything going for me," said Muir, 23. "I'm in great shape, hopefully the pacing will be good for me, I'll have a home crowd and a quick track, so fingers crossed it will go well." Muir has broken two records already this year - the European 3000m indoor record and the British 5000m indoor record, the latter held for 25 years by Liz McColgan. Last summer, she broke Holmes' 1500m record at the Anniversary Games in London before beating her own time in Paris. She said of her 2017 feats: "I knew I was in great shape and it was just a matter of putting it on the paper. "We're still in the heavy training phase so hopefully by the summer I can sharpen up and be even quicker." Media playback is not supported on this device Muir's coach Andy Young told BBC Radio Scotland on Friday that she has been "looking great in training this week" and "she is more than capable of going inside that mark". In fact, Young reckons if things go well his charge could even lower Maria Mutola's world indoor mark of 2:30.94. "Assuming that the pacemaker is spot on and the rest of the competitors don't trip her up, I'm pretty confident that she should be able to get inside the British record," Young said. "Looking at how fast she was going on Monday the world record might just be a possibility too. "It's a mark of confidence as to how well she's been going that it's something we thought she could do and that it would create a bit of excitement, letting the crowd get behind her. "She has already broken so many British records over the past six to eight months, I think it's realistic. If I didn't think she was capable of it I think we'd have kept it under our hats." Young emphasised that Muir's main focus this season is the World Championships in London, and the 23-year-old would clearly love to hit peak form at the place where she first took the 1500m record. "It was extra special when I broke the 1500m record for the first time because that was in the Olympic stadium with a home crowd," she said. "I still can't believe I ran that time; it's pretty crazy quick. I'm delighted with it. "To be racing there again at the London World Championships is going to be so exciting because the crowd is phenomenal." While Muir relishes targeting a record, medals remain her priority. "For me it's always the medals," she said. "Breaking records is great but you always want the medals to keep in that cabinet." A site in Capenhurst, near Ellesmere Port, has been selected to store steel containers from 19 redundant vessels. The components, described as having "intermediate" radioactivity, were used to house the submarines' core reactors but no longer carry nuclear fuel. They will be stored by Capenhurst Nuclear Services and later disposed of. The firm said the project would create "potential future opportunities" for its workforce, but it was not clear how many jobs would be created. The submarines are currently stored at Devonport in Plymouth and Rosyth in Fife, but cannot be dismantled until the reactor components have been removed. Capenhurst was chosen from a shortlist of five potential locations, including Chapelcross near Annan, in southern Scotland. Aldermaston in Berkshire was selected as a "fall back" option. The radioactive parts will be stored until after 2040 when the UK's Geological Disposal Facility, designed for the permanent disposal of spent fuel and nuclear waste, is planned to come into operation. Defence Minister Philip Dunne said: "When submarines in the Royal Navy fleet reach the end of their lives, we need to dispose of them in a way that is safe, secure and environmentally sound. "We have worked closely with the local communities around potential sites to listen carefully to their views, and the opinions and feedback we received has played an important part in formulating our final decision. "With Capenhurst as our recommended site, we know that the radioactive waste will be dealt with properly and responsibly." A 46-year-old woman was assaulted in Hadleigh on Friday night in an area behind a chip shop in Angel Street. A 43-year-old Hadleigh man was arrested on suspicion of rape and taken to Bury St Edmunds police station. He was released on Sunday to return to the police station on 6 May. Police appealed for anyone with information to contact them. First Minister Alex Salmond and shadow Scottish secretary Margaret Curran were concentrating on the drinks industry. Campaigning has continued as polling suggested the pro-independence campaign may be closing the gap on its rivals. It comes ahead of voters going to the polls in the 18 September Scottish independence referendum. Tuesday is also the deadline for people in Scotland to register to vote. Mr Salmond was setting out his vision of the gains of independence for the food and drink industry on a visit to Eden Mill distillery and brewery in Guardbridge, Fife. "More and more people are waking up to the fact that Scotland has a strong and diverse economy on which we can build a more prosperous future with control of key economic levers," said the first minister. "Scotland is currently in the international spotlight like never before, but the huge publicity generated by a 'Yes' vote - and the transition to independence - will be the opportunity of a lifetime for our food and drink sector to extend its global reach even further." Ms Curran, who was visiting Glasgow's Tennent Caledonian Breweries, argued: "Around one million jobs in Scotland rely on companies based elsewhere in the UK and many more are with companies that rely on trade with England, Wales and Northern Ireland. "Young people across Scotland can't afford to have opportunities cut off. We want a strong Scotland backed up by a strong United Kingdom. Being part of the UK means that we can share our resources across the country." Meanwhile, the Yes Scotland campaign said support for independence had risen eight points in less than a month, pointing to a new YouGov poll indicating that, excluding "don't knows", 53% of those questioned planned to vote "No", while 47% would back "Yes". Yes Scotland chief executive Blair Jenkins, said: "This breakthrough poll shows that 'Yes' has the big momentum - it's an all-time high for 'Yes' support in a YouGov survey so far, and an eight-point swing from 'No' to 'Yes' in just three weeks. "We only need another three-point swing to achieve a 'Yes' for Scotland on September 18." However, Blair McDougall, campaign director of the pro-Union Better Together organisation, said: "The nationalists talk as if they are winning, but the truth is this is yet another poll showing the campaign for Scotland to stay in the UK in the lead. "We speak for the majority of Scots, but this poll confirms that if people want Scotland to stay in the UK then they need to vote for it." Mr McDougall added: "We need the silent majority who back a 'No' vote to do their bit, whether it's voting on the day, knocking on doors, making phone calls or speaking to friends and family, the silent majority should feel confident in speaking up." Negotiators, police and the Fire Brigade were called to the scene after being made aware of the incident at 21:15 GMT on Saturday. Scotland Yard said it was too early to know why the man had been on the roof. He was arrested at 05:00 GMT on Sunday and was taken to a central London police station. The roof has previously been targeted by campaign groups, including those opposed to a third runway at Heathrow and by Greenpeace. However, on this occasion it was not immediately clear if the man was protesting. BBC News correspondent Victoria Fritz, who was at the scene, said the man - who was wearing a grey jumper and dark trousers - had been pacing up and down between the buttresses of the building. Prior to his arrest in the early hours of Sunday, the police had been trying to talk to him and there were occasional muffled shouts from the roof, our correspondent said. Burton's film, based on Ransom Riggs' novel, took an estimated $28.5m (£22.1m) over the weekend. Peter Berg's Deepwater Horizon, about the 2010 oil rig explosion and starring Mark Wahlberg, came in second with $20.6m (£16m). Chess prodigy tale Queen of Katwe could only manage $2.6m (£2m). Its release was expanded nationally having made a limited debut the previous weekend. The Disney film, starring Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo, depicts the life of Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan chess prodigy who becomes a woman candidate master after her performances at the World Chess Olympiads. Last week's top film The Magnificent Seven slipped to third spot with $15.7m in its second week. The film, which stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt, is a remake of the 1960 western film of the same name.

"I want to teach everyone British sign language - the whole world." Faiza, 11, says: "If children learnt more sign, it would mean I'd try to play with them more. Communication would be easier. "If my hearing friends didn't sign, I would feel lonely and sad." For these deaf children at Blanche Nevile School in north London, helping hearing peers learn British sign language (BSL) is a chance to break down barriers and make new friends. Their school shares a site with Highgate Primary School, and the schools work in partnership so that deaf and hearing children can learn alongside each other. While BSL was recognised as a language in its own right 14 years ago, it is not included in the national curriculum in England. Now, an online petition set up by Wayne Barrow, who grew up with deaf parents, is aiming to change that. "I feel so passionate about this - growing up with deaf parents, I have seen the struggles and barriers of communication between them and other people," Mr Barrow says. "If we can teach kids some of the basic signs, such as directions, money et cetera, it would make a big impact on a deaf person's life." His views are backed up by children at Highgate Primary, who see the benefits of learning BSL. Ivy, nine, says: "It can help deaf children. Seeing everybody sign would make them happy, and it would be easier for them to communicate. "Sometimes, when it's really noisy at home, my sister and me start signing." Amelie, 11, says: "When you're older, if you were to go deaf or if you had a child that was deaf, it would be easier to remember your signs because you would have learnt it at a young age." Emma Illife, senior BSL teacher at Blanche Nevile, says using sign can help hearing people express themselves more freely. "They [hearing children] don't know about facial expressions, they don't know about pointing, it's kind of rude to be overly expressive - but it's the deaf way," she says. "I encourage the hearing children to be confident with developing their use of facial expression, body language and movement, it really helps with the clarity of their communication." The Department for Education in England has responded to Mr Barrow's petition, saying: "BSL was recognised as a language in its own right in 2003. "Whilst it is not a mandatory part of the curriculum, schools are free to teach it if they choose to do so." Of course the reality is that schools are busy places, and teachers already have their work cut out with a demanding new curriculum to get to grips with. While learning BSL may be a great idea in principle, it may not be practical for the vast majority of schools. Russell Hobby, general secretary of school leaders' union NAHT, says: "While we strongly believe that schools should be inclusive places to learn, it would not be possible to add BSL as a mandatory part of the national curriculum given the many other demands on schools' curriculum time. "Something else would need to be cut." But he adds: "Now, support for schools to provide it as an extra-curriculum option would be a promising idea." "It had never occurred to me that my child could be deaf, and what I went through following that discovery I can only describe as a form of grief." For Katherine Mount, finding out her new baby was deaf meant many of the hopes she had had for him were taken away. "I couldn't even sing to him at bedtime," she says. While she learnt BSL to communicate with her son, she found the absence of signing ability within the community made it difficult for both of them. "I became Ethan's window to the world, his interpreter, when all I really wanted was to parent him," Ms Mount says. " And can you imagine how frustrating that is for a young kid? "Every time he ever wanted to speak to any hearing child or they were trying to talk to him he had to look to his mother to translate." Ms Mount has signed Mr Barrow's petition, saying: "This would give real access to friendships and everyday stuff for kids like Ethan. "I can't tell you how much he has missed out on through other people's unfamiliarity with sign language." The petition currently has more than 21,700 signatures. A petition needs to have 100,000 to be considered for debate in Parliament. Should BSL be compulsory in schools? Join the conversation - find us on Facebook Video Journalist: Hannah Gelbart Officers said they were becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Farrah Fadli, 29, McKenzie Scullion, 10, and Eva Kerr, 4. Ms Fadli, who is also known as Farrah Gillespie and lives in Ayr, was last seen by one of her friends at about 11:00 on Wednesday. Police said her disappearance was out of character. Insp Jim Hendrie, said: "Farrah has never gone missing before and it is believed at this time that she may have gone missing with her two children, which is very concerning. "Whilst at this time we don't have any information that they may have come to harm, Farrah hasn't been in touch with anyone since Wednesday, which is out of character. "We're continuing inquiries to trace Farrah and her children, because as time passes, we are becoming very concerned for their welfare. "I would ask anyone who knows where Farrah is to contact police. It is imperative that we find her and her two children safe and well." Ms Faldi is 5ft 4in, of slim build with dyed blonde hair. Her son, McKenzie, is about 4ft 10in, of average build, with brown hair and blue eyes. Police said Eva was of average height and build for her age, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Ackermann reached his first century for Leicestershire off 149 balls before falling for 118 to Jeevan Mendis. Captain Cosgrove went on to make his 34th first-class hundred and reached stumps on 137 not out. Ned Eckersley added an unbeaten 77 off 69 balls in the final session as the visitors closed on 415-3. Eckersley and Cosgrove punished a tiring Derbyshire attack, putting on 139 in just under 20 overs, after Ackermann had shared a third-wicket stand of 175 with the skipper. Cosgrove, who passed 13,000 first-class runs in an innings which has contained 22 boundaries so far, is yet to lead his side to a Championship victory this season while Derbyshire are also winless. The NHS will cover the costs for women who had the implants fitted by the health service and who are anxious to have them removed, it added. The NHS will also remove the implants if the private clinic no longer exists or refuses the patient. Around 40,000 women in the UK have been fitted with them. It is thought 95% of women had the operation privately, 5% on the NHS. The French authorities have offered to pay for implants to be removed due to a high risk of them rupturing. Czech and German health authorities both recommended on Friday that women in those countries with PIP implants should have them removed. The UK review was ordered because of conflicting data about the risk of the implants rupturing and leaking non-medical grade silicone into the body. Implants 'are not fit for use' Q&A: Breast implants health scare PIP breast implants: Your stories 'Fuel additive in breast implant' The French authorities quoted a rate of 5%. The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) initially said the rate was 1% - in line with other implants. There were reports of rupture rates of 7% from one cosmetic surgery group, Transform. However, it says that rate was based on just seven out of 108 patients it fitted with PIP implants since 2005. Transform chief executive Nigel Robertson accused the MHRA of a failure in its duty to "monitor and routinely audit" the use of the implants. "The NHS and the cosmetic surgery industry used these products because they had been approved by the MHRA for medical use and carried a CE mark to that effect," he said. The agency must bear responsibility for the current situation, he added. But in response, the MHRA said the CE mark had to be authorised though an independent third-party organisation in all but the lowest risk products. It added: "The MHRA's key role is to monitor and investigate reports of device-related adverse incidents and take appropriate action to prevent their recurrence." The agency said it had continually monitored the safety of the PIP breast implants and immediately advised clinicians not to implant them once the French authorities informed them of the use of unauthorised silicone gel. It also said it commissioned toxicity tests on the gel, the results of which concluded there was "no safety issue" related to the material. The health secretary, Andrew Lansley, said: "The data available to the experts has not been good enough to enable them to give a clear recommendation of the risk posed by PIP implants." The review committee could not determine if the rupture rate was higher for PIP implants. However, it said it was "undeniably the case" that the implants were not medical grade and should "not have been implanted in women in the first place. "We have always recommended that women who are concerned should speak to their surgeon or GP. The NHS will support removal of PIP implants if, after this consultation, the patient still has concerns and with her doctor she decides that it is right to do so." He added: "We believe that private healthcare providers have a moral duty to offer the same service to their patients that we will offer to NHS patients - free information, consultations, scans and removal if necessary. The implants of NHS patients will be replaced. Private patients refused by their clinics will be able to have their implants removed by NHS surgeons, but will not be offered replacement cosmetic implants. The government said it will: "Pursue private clinics with all means at its disposal to avoid the taxpayer picking up the bill". Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, the NHS medical director who led the review, said: "On the basis of the information we have, we do not think it is necessary to recommend the routine removal of these implants. "But we understand that some women will be very concerned so we support the government's position that the NHS will support removal of PIP implants if the patient has concerns and with her doctor she decides that it is right to do so." Prof Keogh told BBC Newsnight the NHS "is offering something that is a much better solution... of informed, personalised decision making". A joint response by The Association of Breast Surgery, British Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, Federation of Surgical Speciality Associations and the Royal College of Surgeons said the announcement was welcome. "The news that all women who have received a PIP breast implant will be provided with support, and that all NHS patients will be offered monitoring, advice and remedial treatment if desired is welcome news. "Surgeons' organisations applaud those private cosmetic clinics who have committed to offer treatment to their patients free of charge and fully back the government call for the rest to follow suit. "This situation raises again the need for better regulation and surveillance for all surgical implants and the surgical profession believes mandatory databases should be the next step - not least because this issue has exposed poor record keeping." Sally Taber, the director of the Independent Healthcare Advisory Services, which represents the majority of private clinics, said 60% of the implants were fitted by four companies: Harley Medical Group, The Hospital Group, Transform and Linia Cosmetic Surgery. She said the companies were considering their position, wanted to examine how the measures would be paid for and were seeking further discussions with the Department of Health. Spire Healthcare says it will follow the governments recommendations. Its clinical director, Dr Jean-Jacques de Gorter, said: "We have a duty of care to our patients. "We believe all private providers should step up and deliver on their duty of care to patients. Every woman in the UK who has PIP implants should be given the right to discuss having them removed if they wish." Nuffield Health's group medical director Dr Andy Jones said: "Any patient who had a PIP implant in one of our hospitals can be assured that they will continue to receive the help and attention they need. "We believe that there is a strong case for the private healthcare industry to pull together to resolve this matter in the interests of all patients." Jacob Butterfield, who plays for Derby County, proposed to his girlfriend in March but celebrated their engagement over the weekend. Police were called to the party in Bardsey, West Yorkshire, following a report a 47-year-old man had been assaulted. The man was later treated in hospital. Det Insp Phil Jackson, of Leeds District CID, said: "At 2.28am on Sunday, police were called to a report of a 47-year-old man having been assaulted at an address in Bardsey. "The man was treated at hospital and discharged later that day. "A 26-year-old man, from Leeds, was arrested in connection with the incident and has since been released on police bail pending further inquiries." Mr Butterfield's fiancée, Hollie Jayne Dixon, works as a stockbroker, according to her Twitter profile. She tweeted about their engagement and posted a photo of her engagement ring in March. The footballer also tweeted a photo of his fiancée wearing her ring. Neither of them have tweeted anything since the party. Bannview Medical Practice is potentially at risk of closure after its last remaining doctor resigned. Other surgeries in the town have said they cannot take on any new patients for safety reasons. On Wednesday afternoon, the Health and Social Care Board sought to reassure patients, saying no official decision had been taken to close the practice. It said it was in talks with a potential contractor and that "high quality and safe GP services will continue to be provided" at the clinic after 13 January, when the current GP contract ends. Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie earlier described the situation as a "full-blown crisis in which patients have been left drifting" and appealed to the health minister to "take control of the situation". Following the board's assurances that the clinic would remain open, Mr Beattie welcomed what he described as a "last minute reprieve after a day of intense media interest in the plight of local patients". Bannview once had four full-time GPs tending to its 5,200 patients. But in October, only one remained - Dr Shauna Heanen - who has now also resigned. In an emotive letter, which was presented to the Stormont Health Committee and published in the Portadown Times, Dr Heanen said she simply "couldn't cope" with 12 to 14 hour working days with no breaks. "I often didn't eat until 9pm at night," she said. "One of the GPs went on maternity leave in March 2016 and then a GP partner left in August 2016. "This left me and one heavily pregnant GP trying to provide a service for 5,200 patients. We barely scraped by." Dr Heanen advertised for staff and locum GPs, but to no avail. When the only other GP in the practice left, she had 5,200 patients to tend to herself - almost quadruple the Northern Ireland average. Describing her last day at the clinic, after which she "left work in tears", she said: "I had done 40-50 phone calls to patients, two over-full surgeries, three house calls, 200 acute scripts, 150 blood results, hospital letters and a range of phone calls to various health professionals." Dr Heanen's fears for her patients were also outlined in the letter: "I have palliative care patients who are dying, patients who have cancer, patients with severe mental health problems and children on 'at risk registers' who will not have a GP in less than three weeks." Dr Arnie McDowell of the British Medical Association (BMA) explained that if the potential new contract does not come to fruition, the board will be faced with the prospect of taking over the practice itself - a situation which is "pretty much unprecedented in Northern Ireland" - or dispersing the patients between the other practices in the area, which he said is unlikely to work. "If the patients are dispersed, one or more of the other practices could end up in the same situation because they're already operating to full capacity," he said. "This is a very serious situation - one practice failing is bad enough, but if two or more do, it becomes a situation that will be impossible to manage. "But this is the result of a much wider problem - there just aren't enough doctors to step in at the minute." The six other GP practices in Portadown have written to the Health and Social Care Board expressing grave concern about the situation. "Currently, all practices are operating with a list size in excess of 2,000 patients per full time GP, which is the upper limit of quality and safety as advised by the BMA," they said in the letter. "Any additional workload will push all practices into an unsafe, unsustainable and potentially dangerous operating environment for GPs and patients." Upper Bann MP David Simpson welcomed "assurances from the Health and Social Care Board that the Bannview Medical Practice will not be closing". He added: "I appreciate that this is very worrying for patients who use Bannview, but also for our GP practices as a whole." Sinn Féin MLA John O'Dowd described the reports of closure as "scare mongering" and said the board are "pro-actively trying to bring a permanent solution to the issue and have an interim plan in place". Mr O'Dowd said he had been in contact with the health minister and discussions with a GP interested in taking over Bannview "are at an advanced stage". Although there are legitimate ways of using tax havens, most of what has been going on is about hiding the true owners of money, the origin of the money and avoiding paying tax on the money. If you are a wealthy business owner in Germany who has decided to evade tax, an international drugs dealer or the head of a brutal regime, the methods are all pretty similar. Mossack Fonseca says it has always complied with international protocols to ensure the companies it incorporates are not used for tax evasion, money-laundering, terrorist finance or other illicit purposes. A shell company has the outward appearance of being a legitimate business. But it is just an empty shell. It does nothing but manage the money in it, while hiding who owns the money. Its management is made up of lawyers, accountants or even the office cleaner, who do little more than sign documents and allow their names to appear on the letterhead. When the authorities try to find out who really owns or controls the money in the company, they are told the management does, but it is all just a front. Someone else is just paying them so they can hide their money from the authorities or in some cases their ex-wives. Shell companies can also be called "letterbox" companies, as they consist of little more than an address to post documents to. If you have a shell company, you don't want it based in London or Paris where the authorities can normally find out who owns it, if they really want to. You need an Offshore Financial Centre, or what is often called a tax haven. These are normally based in small island countries (hence the name), with a great deal of banking secrecy and very low or non-existent taxes on financial transactions. There are many such countries or authorities around the world, from the British Virgin Islands, to Macao, the Bahamas and Panama. Even in such places most of the financial services are perfectly legal: it is just the secrecy which also makes them very attractive to tax evaders and crooks the world over, especially if the regulators are weak or turning a blind eye. For that extra layer of anonymity and so that you can move large amounts of money around easily, bearer shares and bonds are an obvious answer. Every British £5 note has the words "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five pounds". That means if it is in your pocket it is yours: the person "bearing" or carrying the cash owns it, can spend it or do what they like with it. Bearer shares and bonds work in the same way, the person who has it in their pocket, briefcase or safety deposit box owns it. But they aren't worth £5. Bearer bonds normally come in nice round figures like £10,000. Very handy if you want to move vast amounts of money around and great if you want to deny ownership. If the bond is kept at a lawyer's office in Panama, who is to know whether it is yours, or even that it exists? This helps to explain why the US government stopped selling bearer bonds in 1982. They were just too easy for crooks to use. Money laundering involves cleaning "dirty" money so that you can use it without arousing suspicion. If you are a drug dealer, fraudster or, let's say, a corrupt politician you will have a lot of cash and no way of spending it or hiding it for a rainy day, without giving the game away. The money needs cleaning, so you can ship it to a dodgy firm in an Offshore Financial Centre and they might help you convert it into bearer bonds, owned by a shell company that no one knows about. You could also use it to buy a bolt-hole in London or the South of France in case of a coup, maybe pay the kids' school fees or fund a great aunt's shopping trips to Paris. One of the ways of punishing and trying to limit the power of notorious regimes around the world is sanctions. These can involve limits on the importation of military equipment or ammunition, bans on the exports of oil and other goods, and personal sanctions; closing the bank accounts of dictators and their friends, families and supporters. The British government currently imposes thousands of sanctions against countries, their businesses, banks and many named individuals. But the more onerous the sanctions on a regime the more money is to be made by breaking or busting them. Providing secret bank accounts for torturers and mass murderers, supplying weapons to one or even both sides in a civil war or funding the nuclear ambitions of isolated regimes. The profits are huge and, of course, lots of secretive bank accounts and shell companies in parts of the world where officials turn a blind eye, is key to making sanction busting profitable and safe. You can see the list of UK sanctions here. To try to stop people hiding money from the tax authorities the European Union introduced the European Savings Directive (ESD). Basically, banks in EU countries collect the tax due on bank accounts held by citizens of other EU countries. So you can't be an Irish person with a Dutch bank account and hope the Irish tax authorities won't find out about it or collect the tax owed. The ESD made it much more difficult to hide your money in Europe. It is interesting because when the ESD was being discussed and introduced there was a sudden increase in people who wanted to open bank accounts outside Europe, hence the surge of interest in places like Panama and the British Virgin Islands. The £250m jail will be built on the Welsh government-owned former Firestone site on the Wrexham Industrial Estate, creating 1,000 jobs. The closure of four prisons - Reading in Berkshire, Dorchester in Dorset, Blundeston in Suffolk and Northallerton in North Yorkshire was also announced. There are also plans to replace Feltham Young Offenders Institution in London. In north Wales, two sites in Wrexham had been shortlisted for the new jail - both on the same industrial estate - but the owners of one of them said last week it was out of the running. Neighbours divided over prison site The jail should be built by 2017 and worth £23m a year to the local economy. It will be a Category C prison used for inmates who cannot be trusted in open conditions but who do not have the resources and will to make a determined escape attempt. Secretary of State for Justice Chris Grayling said: "I can today announce that, following the assessment of several site options and subject to local planning approval, the new prison will be built on the former Firestone site in Wrexham. "Work will begin on-site next summer with the prison fully operational by late 2017. "The new prison will provide up to 1,000 much-needed jobs, great opportunities for local businesses and millions of pounds worth of construction opportunities. "It also provides north Wales with its first ever prison, offering an opportunity for offenders from the region to be closer to their homes." Earlier this week, the Howard League for Penal Reform said almost a quarter of all prisoners in England and Wales were kept in overcrowded cells in the year to April. Figures showed about 19,140 inmates on average were made to share a cell designed for one person. The closure of four prisons follows an announcement in January that six entire prisons were to shut plus one of the three amalgamated jails on the Isle of Wight. Figures published by the Ministry of Justice show that jails held an average of just over 85,000 prisoners between April 2012 and March this year. Locations in London and north west England, including Cumbria, had also been in the running for the super prison. But Wrexham's campaign to host the prison with the backing of other local councils in the region, paid off in June when the town was chosen. Two potential sites were identified at Kingmoor Park and the former Firestone rubber factory site, both on Wrexham Industrial Estate, which already provides work for 10,000 people. But the owners of Kingmoor Park said in August they have optioned a large section of its land to Wrexham Power, which hopes to build an £800m gas-fired power station. It left the former Firestone site as the only other option for the prison. The Welsh government said the 108-acre former Firestone site - supported by First Minister Carwyn Jones - was acquired by the then Welsh Development Agency in 1994 and was prepared for development shortly after. "Many of the older prisons in the UK are now outdated and in an unsuitable condition. "We can see so-called super prisons in the United States and other large countries, although those set for the UK are not on the same scale. "They are a way of making the whole prison system more efficient and over a long period costs will be cut. "The prisoners in Wrexham are not going to be very dangerous and there's no evidence the prison will become an overspill for the large prisons in Manchester and Liverpool. "People will not want a prison built next door to them and there will be opposition but unfortunately prisons are necessary in society. "One of the advantages will be the jobs the new prison will create. It will obviously need prison staff but there will be ancillary benefits as well - a large workforce on site while the prison is built. "There will also be the benefit of variety of prison services on site, such as rehabilitation programmes and back to work schemes. Often these services are dotted around various prisons and those conducting them have to travel. With this new prison all these services and staff should be on one site. "Having a prison in north Wales will also make it easier for families in Wales to visit loved ones. We are harsh on people who commit crime but they have families and if they have children it can be difficult for them." Dr Norris is based at Aberystwyth University It has been on the market for employment use "for a number of years". Welsh Secretary David Jones welcomed the announcement. He said: "The construction of this much needed facility will bring with it considerable economic benefits for local businesses, and create up to 1,000 employment opportunities across the region. "It will facilitate the rehabilitation of offenders by making them more accessible to their families, legal advisers and the probation service, enabling a smoother transition back into the community. "It will also benefit prisoner welfare by allowing Welsh speakers more opportunity to speak the language in an environment where its cultural significance is understood." First Minister Carwyn Jones said the announcement was a "big boost" for Wrexham. "The current arrangements whereby prisoners from north Wales have to serve their sentences in England are far from ideal," he added. "The Welsh government has long supported seeing a prison built in north Wales and I am very pleased that the benefits of having a prison in Wrexham have been recognised by the UK government. "We will work closely with the Ministry of Justice, local authorities in north Wales and other partners to ensure its success." It is not the first time a prison for north Wales has been considered but the Ministry of Justice dropped plans for a jail in Caernarfon in 2009.

Alan Hagan, of Kirkby, Liverpool, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 10 July. An as yet unnamed journalist has been summonsed to appear on the same charge. A 29-year-old health care trust worker from Liverpool was also arrested in the Met Police inquiry but will face no action due to insufficient evidence. The charge faced by Mr Hagan and the journalist accuses them of conspiring together to commit misconduct in a public office between 18 January 2008 and 29 August 2010. They were arrested by police as part of Scotland Yard's Operation Elveden, set up to investigate corrupt payments. The investigation is being run alongside two other inquiries - Operation Weeting, which looked at alleged phone hacking, and Operation Tuleta into claims of computer hacking and privacy breaches.

Police investigating alleged corrupt payments to public officials have charged a 47-year-old healthcare worker with conspiracy to commit misconduct.

Barnsley have signed Southampton defender Jason McCarthy for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.

Police said 270 drivers were found to be over the alcohol limit, 12 more than last year. Its operation ran from 27 November to 2 January. The figure includes motorists who were unfit to drive, or who were unable or refused to give a sample. ACC Alan Todd said said: "While the number of detections is slightly higher than last year, it's difficult to accept this situation as a success - we shouldn't be detecting anyone drink-driving." One motorist was found to be almost five times over the limit, he said. "It's disappointing that despite our warnings, a minority of people completely disregarded the safety of themselves and others by continuing this shameful and incredibly dangerous practice," he said.

The number of people in Northern Ireland caught drink-driving during the police's Christmas crackdown has shown a slight increase on last year.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Abernethy Road, near Newburgh, just before 07:00. The driver of a Volkswagen Golf was seriously injured and later died. Two men in a Toyota Hilux were taken to Perth Royal Infirmary. The road is currently closed and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Cymdeithas y Cymod, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, said it wanted to counter recruitment adverts for the armed services. But the body used to clear TV adverts, Clearcast, said it could breach rules banning political causes. However, an advert image has been cleared to run on S4C's online service. The fellowship said its 30-second film aimed to highlight the cost of war in money and lives. But it said the advert had been rejected for broadcast on live television because it was a matter of "public controversy". Mererid Hopwood, a member of the Fellowship's executive committee, said: "If peace is a matter of 'public controversy,' then war must belong to the same category. "And yet, the armed forces have been allowed to advertise regularly on S4C." Clearcast is the main company used by British commercial broadcasters to ensure advertisements meet strict rules on what can be promoted. Responding to the fellowship's claims, a spokesperson for Clearcast said it had considered the advert and the role of the society in light of rules drawn up by the broadcasting authority, the Committees of Advertising Practice (Bcap). "Rule seven of the Bcap code states that 'political' advertising-advertisers cannot advertise on television," said the spokesperson. "'Political' is very widely defined. It does not relate to the nature of the cause wishing to advertise. "On the face of it and after some discussion with them it appeared that a number of Cymdeithas y Cymod's activities, lobbying government etc, breached that rule but it is open to them to provide further evidence to the contrary." Clearcast said the same rules did not apply to video-on-demand services, which meant an advert could run on S4C's online channel. A spokesperson added: "As far as we are concerned the debate is in no way closed and if they wish to provide us with more evidence as to why they are not wholly or mainly caught by the rule, we would obviously be more than happy to consider it." In a statement, S4C responded: "In this case, Clearcast has not cleared the advert by Cymdeithas y Cymod for use on television. "S4C has shown an advert on behalf of Cymdeithas y Cymod on its website, as that is permitted under the rules on on-line advertising." The hosts took an early lead when Leandro Bacuna headed home a deep Albert Adomah cross. Jamie Ward then levelled for the visitors with an acrobatic volley from 12 yards out. Lloyd Dyer hit the post as Burton dominated the second half, but they were made to pay for their wastefulness when McCormack tapped home after Jordan Ayew's cross. Defeat was harsh on the Brewers, who had the better of the game after former Villa trainee Ward levelled before the break. They nearly salvaged a point in the last second when Mark Bunn produced a superb save from Tom Naylor's header. Villa, who improved once Ayew had replaced Mile Jedinak, remain unbeaten at home and are now 10th in the table. Nigel Clough's men have lost their last four league games and are two points above the relegation zone. Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce: "We were probably fortunate to win. We had the better chances but we found it a bit of a struggle. "I do not think anyone who watched the match will think differently. If we are going to go forward our football has got to be better. "We have tried to breathe a bit of life into the players. It has not been easy after the club had an awful start to the season. Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough: "We have produced some outstanding performances in our last four games which we have lost by the odd goal. "It is especially galling and we do not deserve it. But that is the ruthless nature of the Championship and we have to get on with it. "We forced their goalkeeper into a few saves, two very good ones late in the game. To come in at half-time at Villa Park having had more possession and more shots was very pleasing." Match ends, Aston Villa 2, Burton Albion 1. Second Half ends, Aston Villa 2, Burton Albion 1.

The risers were led by Acacia Mining, up 8.70% to 296p despite political tensions in its key market Tanzania where the government is attempting to reform the mining industry. Media playback is not supported on this device When the Uruguay striker bit the shoulder of Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a group game at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, it sparked a frenzy. Twenty months later, the drama has subsided. Suarez is now making headlines as one third of Barcelona's potent strike force. The 29-year-old will return to competitive action for his country in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Brazil on Friday, for the first time since receiving a nine-game ban. BBC Sport looks at his evolution during his absence. Even before the World Cup in 2014, Suarez was no stranger to controversy - or biting his opponents. At Ajax, the striker had chewed on PSV's Otman Bakkal. At Liverpool, he had done the same to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. During his time at Anfield, he also received an eight-game ban after being found guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra, then with Manchester United. The Chiellini incident stoked the fire. BBC Sport's story attracted a record 3.2m readers, while more than 107,000 tweets per minute were sent in relation to the incident. The UK's newspapers did not hold back in their condemnation of Suarez's actions. At first, the Uruguay camp went into lock-down and refused to accept the bite had happened. It was even suggested the whole event was an English media witch-hunt against the Liverpool striker. However, Suarez issued a statement four days later admitting he had bitten Chiellini and "deeply regretted" the incident. A four-month ban from footballing activity followed. Three weeks into his suspension, Suarez left Liverpool, with four years remaining on his contract, and made his £75m move to Barcelona. When Suarez was presented as a Barcelona player in August 2014, he revealed that he was seeking help from a psychologist to prevent him from biting in the future. Alongside this, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu said he had never had any doubt about signing Suarez, who the club had targeted for months, after his actions at the World Cup. "It's a classic way of responding to a crisis," according to brand expert Alun James, managing director at Four Communications. "When someone does something wrong in a public place, they go through an apology. You need to say 'I've let myself down', while getting others to put perspective around it. You then demonstrate action to improve the situation. "The thing to then do is keep out of trouble." Suarez completed his four-month ban and was finally able to make his Barcelona debut in a 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid on 25 October 2014. And soon, the La Liga club's now famous three-pronged attack was firmly established. Alongside Argentina's Lionel Messi and Brazil's Neymar, the trio - nicknamed MSN - led the Catalans to the treble last season with 122 goals in all competitions. This season, Suarez has added 43 goals to his own personal tally. And no biting to report. Perhaps. Suarez has addressed his controversial past in several recent interviews, and has said he wants to be remembered for his goals, rather than the "bad things". Speaking before Uruguay's game with Brazil in Recife, Suarez said: "I am going to have the same attitude. I will still run, still pressure, still argue but with moderation, like I am doing now at Barcelona." But will the general public be able to forget about his much-publicised past? "If he's playing well, they'll make allowances," says forgiveness expert Professor Ann Macaskill from Sheffield Hallam University. "This is a really talented guy, so people can rationalise this behaviour. People are also able to distinguish the crimes. Biting someone's shoulder is slightly ludicrous, whereas if someone's involved with a court case, that's more shocking and harder to forgive."

Burntisland and Methil in Fife and Arnish on Lewis have missed out on contracts supported by the Scottish government, unions have said. The sites operated by BiFab employ a total of 2,500 workers. Alasdair Allan, SNP MSP for the Western Isles, said the first minister's office was making arrangements for a meeting. The GMB and Unite said they have had to make repeated requests for a meeting with Ms Sturgeon. Mr Allan told BBC Radio Scotland: "I am happy to confirm that there will be a meeting between representatives of the workforce and the first minister. That is something her office is presently arranging." He said the yard at Arnish near Stornoway was an important and major employer in the area. A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The request for a meeting with the first minister has been received and will be responded to shortly. "The Scottish government will continue to do everything we can to safeguard jobs and ensure that in the current challenging times for the oil and gas and related sectors, we provide the support they need to continue to contribute strongly to the economy." The three yards build modules for the oil and gas industry. In February, Bifab held talks with Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Scottish Enterprise on how jobs at Arnish could be safeguarded during a downturn in the UK oil and gas industry. Aberdeen Coastguard received a mayday call from the two crew members of the Erin Wood at about 17:10 on Saturday to say it was taking on water two miles off Peterhead. The 24-metre vessel was in a collision with the Cyprus-registered Daroja. No one was injured. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has been informed. A coastguard statement said: "Aberdeen Coastguard requested the launch of Peterhead all-weather lifeboat and other vessels offered assistance. "The Erin Wood was taken under tow by a fishing vessel into Peterhead and the cargo vessel has also gone to Peterhead. "The Maritime and Coastguard Agency will be attending both vessels and an investigation is under way." The 36-31 loss at Franklin's Gardens left Saints seventh in the table, six points off fourth with four games left. It also meant a seventh straight defeat in all competitions against their East Midlands rivals. "You never say never, but I think that's what we're aiming for," Mallinder told BBC Radio Northampton. Northampton face a tough run-in, with away fixtures at top two Wasps and Exeter either side of a 'home' meeting with third-placed Saracens at Stadium:MK. The 2014 champions, who failed to reach this weekend's Champions Cup quarter-finals, conclude their season with a home match against Harlequins. "It's going to be tough, but that's the Premiership." added Mallinder. Former Northampton Saints team manager Lennie Newman on BBC Radio Northampton: I'm the eternal optimist but the defeat against Leicester means that's about it for Saints' top-four hopes. It's a tough run-in and I think it will go down to the final game against Harlequins for sixth or seventh. The story of Saints' season has been very up and down, with a lack of consistency and quite honestly putting their foot in their own mouth at times; it's annoying. McAree took up the post last October following the departure of Darren Murphy, having previously served as first team coach. The former Swifts midfielder led the club to a seventh-placed finish in the Irish Premiership last season. "It gives me confidence to know that the board have faith in what I'm doing," stated McAree. "Now it is my job to do my best for the club as we try to improve and target a major trophy." McAree has already secured the signatures of local players Christopher Hegarty and Seanan Clucas, both of whom came through the Dungannon United Youth set-up before going on to play cross-channel football. The bill, which received overwhelming approval, is in response to the latest round of US sanctions against Tehran. The US imposed sanctions after a ballistic missile test in January. Tehran says this violates the 2015 nuclear deal, which US President Donald Trump has called "the worst ever" and threatened to tear up. The Iranian legislation must pass a second vote before submission for final approval. Iranian MPs shouted "death to America" after Speaker Ali Larijani announced the result of the vote. Of the members present, 240 parliamentarians out of 244 voted in favour of passing the bill. It proposes that the government allocates an additional $260m for the "development of the missile programme" and the same amount to Iran's Quds Force, a branch of the country's Revolutionary Guards Corps, the official state news agency Irna said. Mr Larijani said the move was meant to counter Washington's "terrorist and adventurist activities" in the Middle East, AFP news agency reports. The 27-point bill will also impose sanctions on US military and intelligence officials in the region. Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Abbas Araqchi, said the new bill was not in violation of the 2015 agreement limiting the country's nuclear programme. The nuclear deal, between Iran and six world powers including China, Russia and the UK, is largely seen as the best way to prevent Iran getting a nuclear weapon. The agreement saw crippling economic sanctions on Iran lifted in return for the country restricting its sensitive nuclear activities. Mr Trump has recently backed away from his key campaign promise to withdraw from the nuclear agreement. Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned Mr Trump that he risks political suicide if he scrapped the nuclear deal with Tehran. A 53-page report has highlighted efforts to boost freight and passenger numbers as key drivers of success. The business review document also places importance on Prestwick's bid to become the UK's first spaceport. The Scottish government bought the struggling airport for £1 last year and later announced £10m in loan funding. The cash was committed towards operating costs, a repairs backlog and to make improvements to the terminal building. The long-term strategy has been based upon reports and recommendations from a senior advisor appointed by TS Prestwick Holdco Ltd, the holding company that was created by the Scottish government to buy shares in the airport and oversee its corporate governance. The strategic vision said the Ayrshire terminal's association with Glasgow, some 35 miles away, was its "best asset". A local campaign to change its name to Robert Burns International Airport, in recognition of the Alloway-born bard, would "damage the airport's business prospects, notably with inbound passengers", it said. The vision also confirms Prestwick's bid to be the site of the UK's first spaceport, which it said will be "the catalyst for transformational change". In the meantime, Prestwick faces some challenges including aged infrastructure, a maintenance backlog, a railway station in need of a £4.75m refurbishment, the need for a new primary radar within the next five years and Ryanair's expansion into Glasgow Airport. The vision also said Scottish airports were "disproportionally affected" by air passenger duty (APD) due to their geographic location and Prestwick is calling for changes to UK aviation policy leading to a reduction in or removal of APD. Prestwick chief executive Iain Cochrane said: "Our long-term vision for Glasgow Prestwick, which is shared by the Scottish government, is of a high-quality, exceptional value and vibrant aviation, aerospace and visitor hub. "We aim to ensure that it becomes the busy and prosperous strategic anchor for economic growth and delivery in Ayrshire and Scotland that we strongly believe it can be. "The document outlines the plans for investment, development and the optimum operating structure required to take the airport forward to achieve this long-term vision." Mr Cochrane said there was widespread acceptance that there was no "no quick fix solution" to problems faced by the airport. He said the possibility of Prestwick bidding to become the UK's first spaceport presented the airport with "another significant opportunity". Mr Cochrane said: "We satisfy - and in some cases exceed - all the essential criteria such as infrastructure, weather and airspace, and securing spaceport status would be the catalyst for transformational change at the airport - from boosting revenue from space-related flight testing, establishing an attractive modernised hi-tech image and bringing in visitors and tourists. "It will also bring significant economic benefits to both Ayrshire and Scotland. Our team is therefore firmly focused on winning the bid." Scotland's Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the aim was to transform Prestwick into "a successful and vibrant airport". She said: "The management team has built on the work of the senior advisor and this document outlines their investment and business development plans, as well as the operating structure that is being put in place to take the airport forward. "We have been clear from the start of this process that there is no quick fix for the airport but there are opportunities to improve in all areas of the business, from increasing passenger and freight traffic to putting forward a bid for the UK Spaceport programme. "We are confident there is a place for Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the evolving Scottish aviation market and look forward to seeing it grow and develop in the future." Scottish Labour's infrastructure spokesman, James Kelly MSP, said that a year on from its sale, "workers have no sense of what direction the Scottish government will take Prestwick Airport". He said: "Prestwick Airport is absolutely vital to the economy of the west of Scotland, supporting thousands of jobs. Yet despite the heavy investment of taxpayers money we are no further forward on how these jobs will be secured long term. "The SNP need to get their head out of the clouds. Workers in Ayrshire deserve a clear plan that will safeguard existing jobs and create more, not the Nicola Sturgeon International Airport." Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone said the report should be "the launch pad for a focused plan of action from the Scottish and UK governments" and urged First Minister Alex Salmond and Ms Sturgeon to make it "their top priority". "The UK Government's ambition to open a spaceport by 2018 is a tremendously exciting opportunity for Scotland and Prestwick stands in great shape to win the bidding process," he said. "We urge Scottish ministers to do everything in their power to support it." The 64-year-old, who is the king's only son, will succeed a much-loved monarch, assuming a role many in Thailand regard as semi-divine. But there are fears the new king will not have the same authority as his father. The crown prince's colourful lifestyle and the country's current political instability mean a smooth succession is not guaranteed. Thailand has strict lese majeste laws which protect the royal family from insult or threat. They have largely shielded the monarchy, including the crown prince, from public view or scrutiny. Most ordinary Thais know only a few details about who he is and how he lives his life. Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn was born on 28 July 1952 in Bangkok, the second of four children of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit. He studied at prestigious schools in England and Australia before undergoing military training in Australia. A military officer and pilot, his lifestyle and behaviour have at times been marked by scandal. He has been married three times, with his second and third marriages ending in controversial and very public ways. After his second marriage, he severed all ties to his former wife and disowned four children he had with her. He is thought to spend much of his time abroad. In recent years, the crown prince has tried to improve his profile with the Thai public. Last year, he led thousands of cyclists through the streets of Bangkok in two bike rides in honour of his parents. He came across as a loving and dutiful son - an image he will be hoping to project over the coming months. His public image is important because the king is traditionally seen as a guiding force in politics. With the military in control of the country after a coup two years ago, and Thai society politically polarised, some fear months of instability. Poland's Maciej Bodnar was caught in the final 300 metres in Pau, having led for the rest of the 203.5km route. German Kittel surged passed his rivals, with Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen second and Edvald Boasson Hagen third. Froome leads by 18 seconds overall from Italy's Fabio Aru and is 51 seconds ahead of Romain Bardet in third. Britain's Daniel McLay finished fifth in the stage, with compatriot Ben Swift in ninth. "It's perfect at the moment," said Kittel. "The race [for the green jersey] is not over but I've used all my chances that I've got so far." Quick-Step rider Kittel was the firm favourite to win in Pau, having claimed his fourth stage in imperious fashion on Tuesday. Once again the 29-year-old German had enough time to raise his arm aloft, signifying his five stage wins, as he coasted over the line, his rivals only able to draft in behind him. Kittel's team-mates Jack Bauer, Philippe Gilbert and the particularly impressive Julien Vermote all did extended turns at the front of the peloton late on to reel in Bodnar and hold off rival sprint trains. "When you're on your top level as a sprinter, it's like playing Tetris and you're just trying to find the gaps," said Kittel. "I've not made a mistake and again I could just jump from wheel to wheel. "It's really nice to give the team a victory because my team all worked hard - they're champions and they're killing it for me." Kittel is now just one behind the six stages won in 2009 by Britain's Mark Cavendish - who crashed out of this year's race - and could surpass that tally, with three of the remaining stages potentially ending in a sprint finish. Although riders in the breakaway will look to take victory on Stages 16 and 19, both of which feature several categorised climbs, it is tough to see anyone beating Kittel on the final stage sprint down the Champs Elysees. He also holds a likely insurmountable lead in the green jersey points competition, with a total of 335 so far, 133 ahead of Australia's Michael Matthews. With many riders aiming to have a relatively calm stage before the challenges of the Pyrenees this week, a three-man group of Bodnar, Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and Marco Marcato (Team UAE Emirates) were allowed to attack from the off and quickly establish a lead of four minutes. The peloton seemed to have the breakaway in check throughout, never permitting the gap to grow too large and a simple catch looked to be close when the gap fell to 30 seconds with 30km to go. However, the gap held for another 5km and Bodnar then attacked, leaving Backaert and Marcato behind and restoring his lead to over one minute. The sprinters' teams responded but Bodnar - a gifted time trial rider - drew on every reserve to still lead into the final kilometre only to be swept up with around 250 metres to go, eventually rolling over the line in 54th place. "I am disappointed because I was caught in the last 250 metres and it was my best day and I wanted to win for my team, for Peter Sagan [who was disqualified after stage four] and my dad who died two months ago," Bodnar told ITV4. "The last 20km was my best time trial but I'm not happy about today - I can be happy about my legs but not about the result." Team Sky's Froome was well protected by his team-mates throughout to easily claim the 51st yellow jersey of his career, moving him into fourth outright on the all-time list behind Eddy Merckx (96), Bernard Hinault (75) and Miguel Indurain (60). Britain's Simon Yates (Orica-Scott) also remains in the best young rider's white jersey but other general classification riders were caught up in crashes. Bardet, fifth-placed rider Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) and two-time champion Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo) all fell and had to be paced back to the peloton by team-mates. Fuglsang suffered two "very small fractures" according to his team, one in his left wrist, which he broke five years ago, and another in his left elbow. However, Astana stated that Fuglsang will start Thursday's stage 12 in spite of his injuries. The Dane's team-mate Dario Cataldo was forced to abandon after being caught up in the same crash, with scans later showing the Italian suffered a small fracture in his left wrist. While none of Froome's rivals lost time, they will be frustrated to have endured nervy moments on a seemingly benign stage before a summit finish on Thursday's stage 12. The 214.5km stage sees five categorised climbs in the final 100km and more than 3,000 meters of ascending should help shake up the general classification. Stage 11 result: 1.

Alan Jamieson has offered the service free to holiday cottage residents on his Kirkpatrick Durham farm. However, he says it has proved so popular that he would now like to run it as a "side business". In order to do so, he would need to get approval from Dumfries and Galloway Council's licensing panel. It is the first time the authority has dealt with an application of its kind. In his application, Mr Jamieson seeks a licence for himself and one other driver. He said he planned to offer trips of between one and four hours throughout the Stewartry area which would only take place in dry weather during daylight hours. He also stressed that, although not legally required, helmets would be supplied to all passengers. Police have been consulted on the plans and have requested that seat belts and guard rails should be fitted to the sidecars involved. That suggestion has been opposed by Mr Jamieson as he says they are exempt from seat belt legislation and could actually cause worse injuries in the event of an accident. The licensing panel will meet to decide the application on Tuesday. 5 October 2016 Last updated at 15:42 BST The cat found itself stranded on the ledge just outside a window - but couldn't get back in. It was spotted by a neighbour and rescue officers came and used a pole with a plastic loop to grab it! Officers below stood with a big blanket stretched out just in case things went wrong but luckily the cat was unharmed and reunited with its owner. Mary Mitchell O'Connor made the comment during a parliamentary debate on Thursday. She said she "met a number of people who are negotiating the Brexit deal for the UK". She added: "They do not know what they are doing and they do not know when they will be invoking Article 50." Mrs O'Connor was in London on Wednesday where she met Secretary of State for International Trade, Liam Fox, and the Secretary of State for Business, Greg Clark. Kelly Moseley, from Birmingham, endured 11 miscarriages each at about eight weeks before she contacted a miscarriage expert she had seen on television. Hassan Shehata discovered that Kelly's pregnancies were being attacked by "natural killer cells" present in her body and decided to treat her with hydroxychloroquine. Initially, Kelly continued to miscarry - including losing two babies at five months - before one year of taking the drug, she found out she was pregnant and Tyler was born in April 2013. He is now nine months old. Kelly had been trying for a baby since 2002 when she married her husband Alan. Even though all her family and friends begged her to stop trying after so many heart-breaking miscarriages, she refused to give up. When she saw Mr Shehata interviewed about his work helping women who had experienced recurrent miscarriages, she was encouraged and made contact with him. Eventually she was referred to the consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist's clinic at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust in Surrey. Mr Shehata and his colleagues had spent many years researching why some women's bodies reject pregnancies and their work was focused on natural killer cells which are present in everyone's white blood cells. He said: "We found that some women's natural killer cells are so aggressive they attack the pregnancy, thinking the foetus is a foreign body - and that's what was happening to Kelly. "Natural killer cells can be lowered by giving some women steroids - but for Kelly this didn't work so we tried an anti-malaria treatment which also lowers the immune system." Mr Shehata said Kelly was the first patient to receive this treatment, in tablet form, of the immune modulator drug hydroxychloroquine. Finally, she became pregnant with Tyler and although the pregnancy was complicated by pre-eclampsia, he was safely delivered at 28-29 weeks weighing just under 3lbs. "I still can't believe Tyler is here," Kelly says. "I just refused to give up hope and I hope our story encourages other women out there too. "I will never forget the babies I've lost but having Tyler makes it all worthwhile." Mr Shehata told BBC Radio 5 Live that he has since treated 10 to 15 women with the drug and found it had a 70% success rate. "It's important to say that it's not the holy grail, it's not for treating everyone. "But hydroxychloroquine has been shown to be very safe in pregnancy." Tyler spent a lot of time in a special baby care unit in Birmingham before he was allowed to come home, but he is now preparing to celebrate his first birthday in April surrounded by the whole family. A spokesperson from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said it was "interested" to hear that this drug could help women who suffer recurrent miscarriages, who tend to have problems with their immune system, but that it wasn't "standard practice". Jonathan Powell was speaking at the launch of a new loyalist community council on Tuesday. It has the backing of the three main loyalist paramilitary groups, the UDA, the UVF and the Red Hand Commando. They said they are "re-committing" to the 1998 Agreement and "eschew all violence and criminality". Who are the UVF? Who are the UDA? Reaction to loyalist initiative According to the book Lost Lives, between 1966 and 1999, the UVF and an affiliate group, the Red Hand Commando, killed 547 people. The launch of the council had been timed to coincide with the 21st anniversary of the loyalist ceasefire in October 1994. More than 50 people have been killed by loyalist paramilitary groups since their ceasefires. The vast majority of those were Protestants. Eight of them, all civilians, were Catholic. About half of the Protestants killed were linked to paramilitary organisations. Speaking on Tuesday, Mr Powell said it was the "last best chance" to include loyalists left behind by the peace process. He said: "Some may argue that these organisations should just disappear. The experience from around the world suggests that would be a mistake. Analysis Vincent Kearney BBC NI security correspondent Loyalist paramilitary organisations have insisted many times in recent years that their members are not involved in criminality. But the police have repeatedly said they are. There is evidence that members of the UDA and UVF have been involved in a wide range of crimes, including murder, drug dealing and extortion rackets. They have also been involved in serious rioting, particularly in north and east Belfast. The leaderships of the two largest loyalist paramilitary groups, and the Red Hand Commando, have now joined forces and pledged to "eschew all violence and criminality". They have said any members involved in crime will be disowned, and that the police should do everything they can to take them off the streets. Those involved in this initiative say it is about loyalists moving forward and playing a constructive role in their communities. The problem is that an independent assessment of paramilitary activity due to be published later this week is expected to paint a very different picture. It is likely to say members of the organisations remain heavily involved in a wide range of crimes. The big question is whether those senior figures who have pledged to oppose all violence and criminality can ensure that others follow the path they say they want to take. "Other violent groups would simply take over the names UVF, UDA and the Red Hand Commando and carry on with paramilitarism. "We really don't want to see a Real UVF and a Continuity UDA. "It is far better that the groups continue but there is no criminality; there is no violence; they continue in a civil fashion." The joint statement said the groups have "a desire to make a meaningful contribution to reversing this situation". An NIO spokesperson said the government is willing to give a cautious welcome to proposals aimed at moving different groups away from crime. On Monday, the UKIP MLA David McNarry said the loyalist move had been in preparation for 18 months and had taken so long to develop because the three paramilitary organisations had needed to consult their members. "I was totally amazed to find that membership stood at thousands of people," he said. "I respected their need to go and consult, and this is a result of that consultation. "There will always be people in these types of organisations who won't be happy - I happen to believe they're in a very small minority today." He also challenged the Provisional IRA to make a similar declaration of intent. Mr McNarry said Mr Powell had been persuaded to get involved because he felt loyalists had been left behind. Ms Le Pen upstaged her centrist rival earlier by turning up to speak to the workers as he met their union representatives a few miles away. Mr Macron, who is far ahead in opinion polls, is in Amiens, his home town, amid accusations of complacency. He got another boost when former President Nicolas Sarkozy endorsed him. François Fillon, the candidate of Mr Sarkozy's own, centre-right Republican party, was knocked out in the first round, leaving uncertainty over how party supporters would vote in the second. Opinion polls taken since the first round on Sunday suggest Mr Macron, candidate of the En Marche (On The Move) movement, will easily beat Ms Le Pen, who has temporarily stood down as leader of the National Front. % Emmanuel Macron % Marine Le Pen Please enable Javascript to view our poll of polls chart. Last updated April 25, 2017 The polling average line looks at the five most recent national polls and takes the median value, ie, the value between the two figures that are higher and two figures that are lower. This was a neat publicity coup for Marine Le Pen. As Emmanuel Macron was holding talks at the local chamber of commerce, the National Front leader made an unannounced visit to the picket line at the Whirlpool factory where she was greeted with enthusiasm by many of the striking workers. She told reporters there that Mr Macron's decision to meet union officials in the comfortable surroundings of an office - rather than come to the factory gates as she had - was a sign of someone who deep down was contemptuous of working people's lives. Mr Macron retorted that Marine Le Pen was cynically exploiting the situation for political ends and that it was more important to work out a long-term solution for the factory than to score cheap points in front of the cameras. The clash is symptomatic of a second-round campaign in which so far Marine Le Pen has clearly had the initiative. Some in Mr Macron's camp are urging him to up his game and not assume that his strong lead in the polls will necessarily endure. The Whirlpool household appliance factory in Amiens, in the rustbelt of France's industrial north, faces the threat of closure with outsourcing to Poland. Mr Macron earlier saw union delegates at the local chamber of commerce, with TV pictures showing them in discussion in a grey meeting room. Meanwhile, Ms Le Pen was having selfies taken outside the actual factory a few miles away. When he visited the actual factory, surrounded by journalists, he was booed and whistled. "There is no work!" a woman shouted repeatedly as he sought to address the workers. "It's important not to feed anger but to be up to meeting expectations," he told the crowd. "Of course there's anger in the country, there's anguish, there's a responsibility to take, that's why I'm here." Ms Le Pen, whose new campaign slogan is "Choose France", tweeted (in French) photos of her meeting the workers and said: "With me, their factory won't close!" She seeks to portray her pro-EU opponent as the candidate of "runaway globalisation", hoping to pick up votes from the extreme left despite her own far-right background. Leading members of the ruling Socialist Party have criticised Mr Macron, a former Socialist minister, for not fighting hard enough in the run-off campaign. "He was smug," Socialist Party boss Jean-Christophe Cambadelis told French radio. "He wrongly thought that it was a done deal. It's not a done deal." In a statement (in French) on Facebook, Mr Sarkozy said he would vote for Mr Macron and was retiring from politics himself. "I consider that the election of Marine Le Pen and the launch of her project will bring serious consequences to our country and to the French," he wrote. "I will therefore be voting in the second round of the presidential election for Emmanuel Macron. It's a choice of responsibility, which is not in any case a support for his project." Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland also told MSPs that a fatal accident inquiry would be held into the death. Mr Bayoh, 31, died in police custody after being detained following an incident in Kirkcaldy on 3 May. His family welcomed the comments and said they hoped the Lord Advocate would establish "the truth of what happened". Mr Mullholland told MSPs that further work was needed by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc), particularly into the cause of death, before the investigation was completed. "Having met the family on two occasions, I know the effect that this tragedy has had on them and they have borne their loss with great dignity," he said. "They are right to demand answers and a thorough, impartial and objective investigation is what they deserve." Mr Mulholland said he was confident this could be done "expeditiously without compromising thoroughness". He added that regardless of the decision on criminal proceedings, a fatal accident inquiry would be held because Mr Bayoh had died in custody. "A fatal accident inquiry will allow all the evidence to be presented in a court, open to the public and the media, to be rigorously tested by all parties represented at the FAI, including the family, and allow the sheriff to make findings in fact and recommendations in relation to Sheku's death in a judgement that will be available to all," he said. Aamer Anwar, the solicitor for Mr Bayoh's family, said: "The family have always known that there would be an FAI but they do not believe at this stage that this is a solution to the death in custody of Sheku Bayoh. "An FAI is, in essence, the bare minimum of what can happen, but at this stage it would be premature to predict the outcome of the investigations if they are truly robust and impartial. "It has been 19 weeks since Sheku's death and the family hope the Lord Advocate can provide them with the truth of what happened, because without that they know there can be no justice." The body of the 45-year-old was found inside a house in Kyle Court at about 02:00. A police spokeswoman said: "A post mortem examination will take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death, however, police are treating the death as suspicious meantime. "A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal." Mr Cameron fielded questions from 103 MPs in a mammoth session that lasted over two-and-a-half hours. Here is a pick of some of the contributions: The firm behind the voting system said turnout was at least one million fewer than the government figure. But the head of the election council hit back, calling it an "irresponsible claim, with unfounded estimations". President Nicolás Maduro has said that the new assembly will be inaugurated on Friday. The opposition see the assembly as an attempt by Mr Maduro to cling on to power. They boycotted the election and also held an unofficial referendum in which they said more than seven million Venezuelans voted against the constituent assembly. Turnout in Sunday's poll is seen as a key indicator of the level of support the government enjoys. The government said more than eight million people, or 41.5% of the electorate, had voted. "It is with the deepest regret that we have to report that the turnout numbers on Sunday 30th July for the Constituent Assembly in Venezuela were tampered with," the boss of Smartmatic, Antonio Mugica, told journalists in London. He said a full audit was needed to establish the exact number of voters but he said the firm estimated there was a difference of at least one million. But Tibisay Lucena of the election council accused Mr Mugica of trying to "raise doubt over the result of the election". Mr Maduro said the vote was free and fair and that it would not be tainted by "a company with its headquarters in London and its bank accounts in the United States". The opposition-controlled National Assembly has approved a request to open a criminal investigation into Smartmatic's claims. Separately, the Reuters news agency reported it had seen an internal memo from Venezuela's electoral authorities saying fewer than four million votes had been cast just two hours before polls closed. Venezuela's controversial vote explained Despite intense pressure at home and abroad, Mr Maduro is ploughing on with the constituent assembly. The first deputies for the new body have received their credentials, among them Mr Maduro's wife and son. Swearing in has already begun and the assembly's first sitting is due on Thursday. Mr Maduro says the constituent assembly, which has the power to rewrite the constitution and bypasses the National Assembly, is needed to restore order after months of crisis. The opposition is calling for fresh demonstrations with a march planned to coincide with the expected installation of the assembly. Venezuela remains in political and economic turmoil. Tumbling oil prices have hit social programmes hard and scores of people have died protesting against the government. But despite the unrest the government retains the crucial support of the armed forces. The 23-year-old had earlier taken 3-39 as the visitors piled up 307-7, with Richard Levi hitting 109 off 107 balls, Derbyshire's run-chase was boosted by a 168-run stand between Thakor and Billy Godleman, who was caught behind for 95. Thakor was run out for 130 with 23 runs still needed, but Derbyshire reached 309-4 with eight balls to spare. Gary Wilson struck the match-ending boundary off Azharullah in the penultimate over, but it was Thakor, who collected two sixes and 14 fours, who had laid the foundation for the victory. It was Derbyshire's first win of this year's competition, after their opening game against Durham was abandoned because of rain, while Northants have now lost two out of two. Thakor and Godleman's stand was a second-wicket List A record for Derbyshire against Northants, beating the 160 by current director of cricket Kim Barnett and Chris Adams on the same ground in 1995. Richard Buxton, chief executive of Old Mutual Global Investors (OMGI), described Brexit as "really bad news". He told the Guardian he feared the move could lead to a recession. Financial markets would remain volatile while the government negotiated an exit deal with the EU, Mr Buxton added. OMGI has managed funds worth £26bn for both institutional and individual investors. Speaking to the newspaper, Mr Buxton said the stock market had priced in a "pretty significant recession" for the UK given the slide in share prices of companies such as house-builders and banks. Shares in two of the UK's biggest house-builders, Barratt Developments and Persimmon, have fallen almost 30% and 25% respectively since 24 June - the day the referendum result was announced. "I think the economy is going to judder to a halt [or] have a mild recession, but I don't think it is going to be as severe as some of these shares are pricing in... The real economy is only going to gradually emerge over the next three to six months," Mr Buxton said. House prices are expected to fall across the UK in the next three months, a survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors has found. The new chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said the Brexit vote has "rattled" financial markets and that the UK economy will face challenges following the "shock" of the referendum outcome. Mr Hammond was facing "one of the most unusual economic environments I have known in my 30-year investment career", Mr Buxton said. He predicted the UK government would take steps such as cutting stamp duty on house purchases and fuel duty in the Autumn Statement to help compensate for the dramatic slide in the pound. Sterling was trading as high as $1.50 on the day of the EU referendum, but collapsed to as low as $1.28 in the wake of the leave vote. The currency is now worth just under $1.32, but several big banks predict the pound to fall to $1.25 or lower given the expectations of interest rate cuts and slowing economic growth. Mr Buxton said some OMGI clients had asked for their money back, but one big foreign client had increased its investments on the belief that the slide in sterling and falling share prices meant there were bargains to be had. However, many Old Mutual clients were still "slightly stunned" by the Brexit vote and were reluctant to take any action, he said. "That will fade over time, but it's how can we get out to people and say 'look, we do still think there are some amazing investment opportunities here'," Mr Buxton said. "Our mood here is we're glass half full people." Company chairman August Oetker was speaking ahead of a new book that studies the history of the family's links with the Nazis. His father, Rudolf-August Oetker, was a member of Adolf Hitler's Waffen SS. Rudolf-August Oetker ran the company, based in Bielefeld, northern Germany, after World War II and died in 2007. "My father was a National Socialist," August Oetker said in an interview with Die Zeit newspaper. "He didn't want to talk about this time. He said, 'children, leave me in peace'." He said his father, who had joined the Nazi party in the 1930s, had been influenced by his step-father, Richard Kaselowsky, who was a staunch supporter of Hitler and ran Dr Oetker before him. Mr Oetker said he welcomed the publication next week of the book Dr Oetker and National Socialism, written by a German historian and funded by the company. "I feel now we know the facts, now the fog has lifted," he said. Over the decades, many German companies have come under pressure to come to terms with their links to the Nazis and their actions during the 1930s and 1940s. The baby was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital in the early hours of 12 January suffering from injuries including a bleed to the brain. Jonathan Gerrard, 26, and Katrina Westworth, 22, both from Preston, are accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and child neglect. They are due to appear before Preston Magistrates' Court on 17 September. The girl, now nine months old, was treated at the Manchester Children's Hospital but has been discharged and is described as making steady progress, Lancashire Police said. Sharon Massey's home, on Ardgowan Street in east Belfast, was destroyed in the incident. Ms Massey bought a hoverboard for her daughter for Christmas. On Monday evening, Ms Massey was in the living room of the house with her baby granddaughter and two daughters, when the toy, which was charging, "burst into flames". "We heard an almighty bang and in a matter of seconds it was everywhere," she said. "The curtains caught, everything caught. We all just got up and ran straight out the door." Ms Massey's daughter Summer said the experience was extremely frightening. "I was so scared, but I just wanted to get [the family] out. Then we watched the house burn. It was shocking, but I'm glad we got out." Ms Massey said she has been left "devastated" by the destruction. "It's hard to believe [a toy] could do that much damage," she said. She said the hoverboard had only been used a few times since it was bought. "My wee girl brought it in yesterday to charge it. It was literally charging half an hour when it exploded. "There were bits flying everywhere. "But I'm just glad it didn't happen when we were lying in bed sleeping." A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said they received a report of the fire at 18:50 GMT and sent two fire appliances to the house. The spokesperson said the fire was being treated as accidental. The family has been staying with friends since the incident. A Belfast City Council spokeswoman said their environmental health department "has dealt with a number of calls about so-called hoverboards". She added: "We have been advising consumers against purchasing these boards as there is uncertainty around the product safety, and this is in line with advice already in the public domain. "In light of the safety concerns, many retailers that were selling these goods voluntarily withdrew them from sale; or the supplier withdrew the stock at source. "Anyone who has bought one of these items and is concerned about their child using it can seek a refund from the supplier/manufacturer. Our consumer advice staff can offer guidance on this. We will also investigate any complaints from members of the public about these items being sold in the Belfast area." A public inquiry began after developer Urbaser Balfour Beatty appealed against the council's decision to reject the Javelin Park scheme, near Gloucester. Opponents have highlighted issues including the size and cost of the 30-acre site and the environmental impact. The incinerator will treat up to 190,000 tonnes of waste a year. In 2013 county councillors voted to turn down plans for the facility, a decision which went against a recommendation by the council's own planners that it be approved. Gloucestershire County Council had already signed a contract with Urbaser Balfour Beatty to build the energy-from-waste plant. Nigel Moor, chair of Gloucestershire County Council's planning committee, said: "The committee robustly defended its decision to an independent inspector at the public inquiry last year. "However, we acknowledge today's announcement." The leader of Stroud District Council, Geoff Wheeler, said the decision was "a real disappointment". "However, we hope that the recent appraisal of alternative options by Gloucestershire County Council will see it review its intentions," he said. "Whilst permission has been given, they could still opt for a solution to deal with waste which maximises recycling, maintains flexibility and minimises the impact on the environment and taxpayers' purses." Gerald Hartley from campaign group GlosVAIN said he was "disappointed" with the decision. "It's going to be a massive Conservative carbuncle built on the fringe of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A carbuncle that none of the local communities want." Mr Hartley said campaigners would now consider whether to appeal against the decision by asking for a judicial review. "We'll also be considering putting it to the county councillors that it isn't too late to throw the contract out." Javier Peiro from Urbaser Balfour Beatty said he was "delighted" with the outcome. "We will be working with Gloucestershire County Council to make sure the project brings as many opportunities for the local people and the economy as possible and make a positive contribution to the effects of climate change," he said. The company said the incinerator will treat over 92% of the county's waste that would normally go to landfill, and generate enough electricity to power 26,000 homes. Ujjal Singh died from a knife wound to the neck after he was found in Lidiard Street, Crumpsall, on Monday. Naunihal Singh, 53, of no fixed address, has been charged with murder and will appear before magistrates later. A 37-year-old man, also held on suspicion of murder, has been bailed until February. Mr Singh's family paid tribute to him, praising "his ability to interact with his elders, his peers and also the younger generation". He leaves behind his wife, four children, nine grandchildren and a great-grandson. Newly promoted Rangers are at home to Hamilton, while last season's runners-up Aberdeen travel to St Johnstone. The first Old Firm derby of the season, following Rangers' four-year absence from the top flight, is scheduled for 10 September at Celtic Park. Inverness Caledonian Thistle host Highland rivals Ross County on the second weekend of the campaign. County and Caley Thistle meet again in the New Year fixtures, with Celtic travelling to Ibrox and Hearts taking on Aberdeen at Tynecastle. There will be a winter break after the New Year games, with the action resuming on 28 January. Celtic were scheduled to face Partick Thistle on 13 August but the champions will use an opt-out option for a friendly with Inter Milan to mark the 50th anniversary season of their 1967 European Cup triumph against the Italians. The champions are aiming to win their sixth consecutive Scottish title, with Brendan Rodgers the man charged with maintaining their domestic success. The former Liverpool boss was named as successor to Ronny Deila, who resigned at the end of the season after delivering two Premiership titles during his spell at the club but was undermined by failures in Europe. Rangers secured their Premiership place by winning the Championship, their third promotion in four years. Kilmarnock, at home to Motherwell on the opening weekend, retained their top-flight status by winning the play-off final against Falkirk. Hearts manager Robbie Neilson: "It's a great one to look forward to. It's what we want, big games. It's a great one for the players, a great one for the fans and one for us all to look forward to." Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "It's exciting, the start of a season always is. It's a chance to get some points on the board but all the clubs will think that. On paper, the second quarter looks a little trickier so it'd be good to get points on the board early if we can."

Peake was born in China in 1911 to British parents but returned to England whilst still at school. In the 1940s he moved to Sark where he wrote his famous trilogy. His book Mr Pye was also set in the island. Mr Kemp said it took 30 years to build the collection, which he began after being given the Gormenghast trilogy for his 18th birthday. Mervyn Peake timeline Source:The Mervyn Peake Estate "What you have to do in a collection is get as close as possible to the author, so the first edition, his first view of the story," he explained. "I am a fanatical completist, it means that regardless of cost if something exists by Mervyn Peake I have to have it," he said. Peake lived in Sark twice, the first time in 1932 at an artists' colony established by Eric Drake, and then he returned with his wife and children in 1946. Mr Kemp said: "I think he was taken by the landscape of Sark, there are a lot of little landscapes that he drew there. "I think he may have been frustrated as it was a conservative place, but he played on it and he and a friend went to Guernsey to get their ears pierced, which was unusual for men then."

Acclaimed bass player Kyle Eastwood and his band will play at the Gardyne Theatre on the opening night of the five-day event. Organisers said the audience should expect "slick modern jazz, blending swing, bop, and soulful funk". The festival runs from 18-22 November with gigs at a variety of venues in the city. Other performers during the week include the Red Stripe Band, Ian Siegal and the East Coast of Scotland young jazz musicians. Mr Eastwood is a double and electric bass player who has had a 17-year career in the music industry. The festival said he had released seven critically acclaimed albums and was also a composer and arranger. He has worked on several of his father's films, including Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino and Letters From Iwo Jima. Rose became the first English winner of the US Open for 43 years in 2013. The 36-year-old could have doubled his major tally at the Masters in April but lost out in a play-off to Ryder Cup team-mate Sergio Garcia. "I've played very well at weekends in majors since 2010 and maybe just need to position myself better," he said. "Then see where we go from there. Hopefully we can get our head around the course. "Attitude starts earlier on venues that some guys grumble about. Even at Merion in 2013, people weren't delighted with it. "It's a different type of golf course and the USGA obviously aren't scared to go to different venues, so you've got to accept it and play. "That's what pulled through for me in 2013; I remember being incredibly patient all week and also not buying into the score. "I set my strategy up by how I saw the course but I never pressed because and ultimately that's what paid off for me, that patience." Since his US Open victory, Rose has recorded five top-10 finishes in major championships, three of them coming in a remarkable season in 2015. The Englishman shot 14 under par in both the Masters and the US PGA, but won neither. And in this year's Masters, Rose was two shots clear with five to play at Augusta before Spain's Garcia triumphed in the play-off to take his first major title. "I can only say from the Olympics and the Masters, that was the calmest I've felt on a golf course in recent times," Rose added. "When I need it the most I can get into that mindset - it's almost a survival mechanism for me. I know I can't afford to get frustrated and lose my head. "The big situation forces me to stay a little bit more patient because I know how important it is. I have more incentive to be my best in those big events." The deserted Wiltshire village of Imber was cleared during World War Two and later taken over by the military. Vintage Routemaster buses have been used to take passengers to the village, for one day each year, since 2009. The area is normally closed to civilians as it sits in the middle of a Ministry of Defence training zone. Villagers were given a few weeks' notice to pack their bags and leave before the community was abandoned in December 1943. It was needed by the army to provide an exercise area for US troops preparing to invade Europe. In the 1970s, several empty houses were built for use by UK soldiers taking part in training exercises. St Giles Church, the only original building left intact, was also opened to visitors for the weekend. Taylor scored 154 off 97 balls in a thrilling 24-run win over Somerset to help Notts progress to the last four. The former Zimbabwe captain told BBC Radio Nottingham: "We want to field first before the beers kick in. "But whatever we do we will have to do it very, very well. If we are not on it 110% we can be found out for sure." Notts last won the trophy in its previous format as a 40-over competition in 2013, beating Glamorgan by 87 runs in the final at Lord's. The 21-year-old victim suffered leg, arm and head injuries when he was hit in Guildford by the van driven by Raymond Harms. Harms pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm, damaging property and dangerous driving at an earlier Guildford Crown Court hearing. He was jailed for a total of six years and four months. Harms, of Yew Tree Drive, Guildford, was also banned from driving for eight years and two months. Two other men from Guildford were also sentenced for their involvement in the attack in Bowers Farm Drive, Burpham on 12 May. Ian Vase, 29, of Pond Meadow, who pleaded guilty to affray, was jailed for six months. Shaun Ritson, 31, of Lime Grove, who admitted threatening behaviour, was given a 12-month community order including 120 hours' unpaid work. The charges also related to incidents that took place in Lawrence Close the same evening. Mr Cuomo led a delegation of business executives from New York state to the island where he held talks with the Cuban minister for external trade. He said that the isolation of Cuba had not worked. Relations between the US and Cuba have improved since the announcement in December that the two countries would work towards restoring diplomatic ties. US President Barack Obama and his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro, met earlier this month at a regional summit in Panama. Days after the meeting, President Obama recommended that Cuba should be removed from the list of states the US government considers to be sponsors of terrorism. A number of US officials and politicians have visited the Communist-run island since the thaw in relations was announced on 17 December, but Mr Cuomo is the first state governor to do so. He travelled with a delegation of New York-based companies which he said he hoped would become some of the first to operate in Cuba. Mr Cuomo also said engagement and full relationships were the best way "to have a dialogue on the issues that we agree with and the issues that we disagree about". The BBC's Will Grant in Havana says US politicians are keen to be seen in a country that was until very recently off-limits and to show their support for the move to normalise ties. Just 8.3 seconds after San Marino kicked off their World Cup qualifier with England on 17 November 1993, Stuart Pearce's under-hit backpass allowed Gualtieri to nip in and prod the minnows into the most unlikely of leads. "I will never forget that moment," Gualtieri told BBC Sport. "I had dreamt about it but I never thought it would happen. It was so hard for us to score against anybody, let alone a team as big as England." "The stage is set for England's last and decisive match in this World Cup qualifying group. England in red, San Marino in blue, England needing to win by a seven-goal margin and hope that Poland can do them a favour in Poznan against Holland. [Whistle sounds to start game.] I'm sure you're aware now what's at stake. And Nicola Bacciocchi the number nine picks the ball up straight away and San Marino launch the first attack, oh and a mistake by Stuart Pearce and San Marino have scored. I don't believe this." When I spoke to him this week, Taylor could not remember the name of the player who inflicted on him the final ignominy of his time as national manager, but he did not need reminding that the goal remains the fastest scored in a World Cup match - qualifiers or finals. With for the first meeting between the two nations since, I felt slightly guilty asking Taylor to relive some of the agony it involved - although it clearly hurt him a lot more at the time. Taylor told me: "When the ball went into the net, I looked up towards the sky and just said quietly to myself 'god, please tell me what I have done wrong'. "I can laugh about it now because that is a true story. Normally I would accept responsibility for every result, and every goal but, I mean, we were eight seconds into the game. I knew we would go on and win but you think to yourself 'what the hell is happening here?' "His name hasn't stuck in my memory but I can picture the goal as I'm talking to you now. I can see Stuart and David Seaman and the San Marino player slipping in and putting it into the net. I can see it happening, but I still can't stop it! "Good luck to the guy, though. I wish him well." England went on to win 7-1 in what was Taylor's last game in charge, with Ian Wright scoring four goals. But it was a hollow victory. To reach USA '94, England had been left needing to win their final game of a calamitous campaign by seven goals and hope Poland beat the Netherlands. The score at half-time in Poznan was 1-1 but Dennis Bergkamp put the Dutch ahead before the hour mark and Ronald de Boer's late goal extinguished all hope. Back in Bologna's Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, where San Marino played their home games, England were by now well on their way to a one-sided victory but the mood was bleak. "Nearly everyone in the ground was following what was going on in Holland's match," Taylor added. "In fact, it was difficult to stop people telling you what was happening. "So there wasn't any enjoyment to be had from our game. We had beaten San Marino 6-0 at Wembley so we put 13 goals past them in total but we had still only done what people expected and, of course, we knew the Dutch had won too so we were out no matter how many we scored. "It was a very hard trip and one of the worst aspects of it was that we flew back to Luton Airport and had to fight our way through the press and photographers. "We had no security and no-one to meet us and we had to get our luggage and fight our way to our cars on our own. You wouldn't have that now - it's a completely different world. "I was pushing against the photographers who were deliberately getting in the way of the trolley in the hope I would stop, but I kept pushing. I think I caught a few shins that day but, to tell you the truth, I was quite happy to because cameras were being shoved pretty much into my face." Taylor resigned six days later. Things were turning out rather more happily for Gualtieri, meanwhile, who got Pearce's shirt as a souvenir at the final whistle but did not speak to any of the England players because "they were all a bit angry". Gualtieri did not find out his goal was a world record until journalists told him after the game, and he did not realise he had made the front page of several British newspapers until he was sent a copy of the Daily Mirror, with the headline "End of the world" and his picture on it. England team: David Seaman; Lee Dixon, Gary Pallister, Des Walker, Stuart Pearce; Stuart Ripley, Paul Ince, David Platt, Andy Sinton; Ian Wright, Les Ferdinand. England scorers: Ince (21 mins), Wright (34), Ferdinand (38), Wright (46), Ince (63), Wright (78), Wright (90). He has had plenty of attention since then, too, including more than 270,000 views of his goal on YouTube. Gualtieri, who also owns a video of the game, last watched it about six months ago but he is expecting it to get plenty more viewings this week. Now 41 and a computer salesman in San Marino with a lot less hair than he had in 1993, he does not speak any English but, with his wife Caterina translating, I asked him how he became aware of what turned out to be an enduring fame - and a particular popularity with Scotland supporters. Tales that Scottish fans paid for his drinks on a night out when they came over for a European Championship qualifier against San Marino a couple of years later turned out to be an invention, but Gualtieri's brother did benefit from some Caledonian hospitality. "Over here, nobody really knew what was going on but in England there was a big fuss," Gualtieri explained. "Even now, some fans from around the world are always coming into my shop with pictures of me and shirts for me to sign. "And, when my brother went to Scotland on holiday, they found out who he was and bought him drinks and a meal too. But that was my brother, not me." When I ask him which player he used to compare himself to, Gualtieri describes himself with a laugh as "a poor man's Roberto Baggio". But, despite only ever being a part-time player, he is a full-time member of footballing folklore, and will stay that way even if his record is eventually broken. Vice-Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai said the prize was highly politicised and "a challenge to China's judicial system". Diplomats in Oslo said China's embassy had sent letters implicitly warning them not to attend the prize-giving. Liu was jailed in December for subversion after calling for sweeping political reform in China. China angrily condemned the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the dissident. It has said the award was tantamount to "encouraging crime". "The choice before some European countries and others is clear and simple: do they want to be part of the political game to challenge China's judicial system or do they want to develop a true friendly relationship with the Chinese government and people?" Cui Tiankai said. "What image do they want to leave for ordinary Chinese people? So, in my view, they are facing such a choice. They have to make the choice according to their own judgement," Mr Cui said. "If they make the wrong choice, they have to bear the consequences." A commentary published in Friday in the People's Daily, the Communist Party's flagship newspaper, described the prize as a Western political tool used to attack a rising China. The newspaper said the Nobel Prize has become wrapped up in ideology since the end of the Cold War and had become "a tool for Western countries to impose peaceful evolution on powers which do not meet their standards". Ambassadors in the city normally attend the ceremony, to be held on 10 December in Oslo City Hall. "We have received a letter which explains the Chinese position and which asks us not to do anything which could destabilise China," Olof Huldtgren, the deputy head of mission at the Swedish embassy in Oslo, told AFP. Mr Huldtgren said the letter did not explicitly warn against attending the ceremony, but that "the message is clear". A spokesman for the Foreign Office in London acknowledged the Chinese "have raised the issue with us". But the spokesman stressed: "It is the normal practice of the British ambassador to Norway to attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. The ambassador intends to attend this year." The Dutch foreign ministry said it had "taken note of China's concerns", but had told Beijing that the ambassador would be attending. It is not known who will pick up Mr Liu's Nobel prize on his behalf. In her first in-depth interview, Paris told Rolling Stone she was convinced Jackson's 2009 death was "a setup". The singer died from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol. His doctor Conrad Murray was later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. But Paris believes there is more to the story. "He would drop hints about people being out to get him," she said. "And at some point he was like, 'They're gonna kill me one day.'" Asked by interviewer Brian Hiatt if she thought her father was murdered, the 18-year-old replied: "Absolutely". "Because it's obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory... but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup." She went on to say "a lot of people" wanted her father dead, and that she was playing a "chess game" to bring them to justice. The teenager did not name specific people, and did not implicate Conrad Murray in her accusations. The youngster recently hit headlines for complaining about a Sky Arts comedy drama series, in which her father was played by white actor Joseph Fiennes. Writing on Twitter, she said she was "incredibly offended" by the show, and that the episode made her "want to vomit". Sky subsequently pulled the show. In her Rolling Stone interview, Paris spoke glowingly of Jackson's parenting techniques - describing him as a "kick ass cook" who "cussed like a sailor" - and dismissed speculation that he was not her biological father. "He is my father," she said. "He will always be my father. He never wasn't, and he never will not be. People that knew him really well say they see him in me, that it's almost scary. "I consider myself black," she continued, adding that her father would "look me in the eyes and he'd point his finger at me and he'd be like, 'You're black. Be proud of your roots.'" Paris was just 11 when Jackson died on 25 June, 2009. She told Rolling Stone she still wore an African bracelet her nanny had retrieved from his body that day. "It still smells like him," she said. Paris also revealed she had been sexually assaulted by a "complete stranger" as a teenager, and spoke openly about depression and her 2013 suicide attempt. "I was crazy," she said. "I was actually crazy. I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help." After a spell in hospital, she is now sober and only smokes menthol cigarettes (which carry their own health risks). She is pursuing parallel careers in modelling and acting, and says she shares her father's passion for environmental activism. Since the interview was published on Tuesday, Paris has taken to social media to ask for privacy. "I will not be answering any press regarding the Rolling Stone article whatsoever," she wrote on Twitter. "If you have questions then read it, it's crystal clear."

The 24-year-old was the subject of a bid from Aberdeen before Neil replaced Simon Grayson at Deepdale. May's career was derailed by a serious knee injury in November 2015 but Neil wants to keep the player he has worked with before. "I know the form he can get himself into - and we want him to get back to those levels," Neil told BBC Scotland. "He's had a horrendous time with injury and we're hoping to get him fit and firing. "He didn't get a lot of game time last season and I've already had a chat with Stevie. I want him to stay and fight for his place." Neil was a team-mate of May's when the striker was on loan at Hamilton Accies in season 2012-13, scoring 25 goals in 33 games. May, who has a year of his contract to run, suffered a knee ligament injury after eight appearances for Preston following his move from Sheffield Wednesday. He was sidelined until last February and scored once in five outings this term, starting just twice. "It will take a lot of hard work because he's been out for a long time but I believe we can get him there," added former Norwich boss Neil. "He's not a player I want to lose. We'll see how pre-season goes and give it a crack and see if he can force his way into our plans." Initially priced at $20 a share, they closed at $29.68. The company, which makes wristbands that track your calories and footsteps, raised $732m (£460m) from the share sale. Fitbit plans to use the money raised for research and development and possible acquisitions. Unlike many technology companies to list, the company is already profitable, making $131.8m in net income in 2014 with sales of 10.9 million devices last year. Fitbit's Woody Scal told the BBC that the company was just at the beginning of its journey. "There's tremendous innovation ahead in hardware and in what sensors can say about what the body is doing," said Mr Scal. "And then it's about taking that information and helping motivate people. The next step is guiding them to what they can do with that information." It is currently the market leader in the industry, according to the research firm IDC. However IDC, and others, warn that it faces stiff competition in the the form of Apple's newly-launched watch, as well as from Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, which makes the Mi-Band. "Demand from emerging markets is on the rise and vendors are eager to meet these new opportunities," said Ramon Llamas from IDC in a research note. "What remains to be seen is how Apple's arrival will change the landscape," he added. "The Apple Watch will likely become the device that other wearables will be measured against, fairly or not. This will force the competition to up their game in order to stay on the leading edge of the market." Julie Ask, mobile analyst at Forrester believes that Fitbit still needs to work out a way of generating sustainable revenue from services connected to its devices. "This battle will be won or lost by the company that can provide services that motivates the consumer to change their behaviour. It's not just the hardware that counts," she said. Fitbit is also facing two lawsuits from its rival Jawbone, which accuse Fitbit of stealing data and patents. It denies the accusations. The 18-year-old was attacked near Malvern Road and Beeston Road in Leeds at about 22:40 GMT on Friday. She was dragged into a garden and raped, suffering head injuries and a suspected broken hip in the assault. Police said they are looking for an Asian man in his early 20s with a slim build and dark receding hair, in connection with the attack. Det Ch Insp Elizabeth Belton of West Yorkshire Police said: "We believe this woman was standing at the bus stop close to Malvern Road, when she was attacked by the suspect. "She was approached by an unknown male from behind who assaulted her and dragged her into a garden close to the bus stop and subjected her to a serious sexual assault. "It has been a very nasty attack that has been sustained over some time. "The nature of her injuries are that she has suffered facial and head injuries and also a suspected broken hip. "We are now treating this as an attempted murder because she has been left there for dead." Appealing for witnesses, the officer added: "I think it is possible that someone will know [the attacker] as there was a considerable amount of blood that was at the scene. "It's possible that the person responsible will have had blood on their hands and possibly blood on their clothing." The victim has been taken to hospital to undergo surgery. Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.4% compared with the same period a year ago, Andrei Klepach said. The government has forecast the economy to expand by 4% this year. But Mr Klepach said the fresh data meant Russia would "be reconsidering the [2010] forecast for both industrial output and GDP upwards". "Economic growth continues, but it has not yet become investment oriented," he added. "The factors of growth remain fairly fragile with the exception of consumer demand." Russia was one of the countries hit hard by the global crisis, and its economy fell by 7.9% in 2009. First quarter growth in 2010 was 2.9% year-on-year. In the second quarter the economy grew by 1.1% from the January-March period, Mr Klepach said. Russia's statistical agency, Rosstat, will issue the official growth data in August. The US Department of Justice said it would seize more than $1bn (£761m) in assets allegedly bought with funds diverted from the state fund and alleged that "Malaysian official 1" received hundreds of millions of dollars from 1MDB. The individual, who was not named but was referenced 32 times, was described as a "high-ranking official in the Malaysian government". Many Malaysians believe that the reference is to Prime Minister Najib Razak and the term started being used as a replacement for his name on social media. Mr Najib has always denied all wrongdoing. #MalaysianOfficial1 quickly became the most trending topic on the Twitter in Malaysia on Thursday with thousands chiming in. Elsewhere, #1MDB, #Najib, Wolf of Wall Street and Jho Low, which were all linked to 1MDB, were all trending on Twitter. In this cartoon, a woman is seen asking a man, drawn in the likeness of Mr Najib if he wants to eat curry, with him replying that he doesn't want it as it's too spicy. In Malay, curry is commonly spelt as Kari, which also happen to be the acronyms for the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative (KARI), the name of a US unit established to curb high-level public corruption around the world. The 1MDB scandal has been described by the US government as the largest single action ever brought under KARI. Other users made light of the scandal in other ways. The Hollywood film Wolf of Wall Street was produced by a production firm co-founded by Mr Najib's stepson Riza Aziz, who has been named in the court papers While others implied there was another film going on closer to home that was much more interesting. References to pop culture lyrics were also involved. Malaysian cartoonist Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaque, known more commonly as Zunar, used a cartoon to make his thoughts known on the issue. The cartoonist was last year charged with nine counts of sedition and faces up to 43 years in prison. He says his cartoons are directed towards "fighting the tyranny and corruption of the Malaysian government". The cartoon shows a "domino effect" of the 1MDB scandal, according to Zunar. "The two cartoon characters below show [a] police chief and the public accounts committee chief," Zunar told the BBC. "They are supposed to take action, but instead they choose to be a bunch of lackeys. When things get worse, they run." "Even though the [Department of Justice] action only affects Riza and Jho Low, in my opinion, the domino effect will come to Najib and Rosmah [Mr Najib's wife], either legally or politically," he added. The 1MDB incident did not feature in the country's newspapers on Thursday, with The Star online, a local newspaper with a large online presence, running a story about organised crime as their headline. Bernama, which is the country's official news agency, reproduced a statement on their website by Malaysia's communications and multimedia minister in which he called 1MDB the subject of "unprecedented politically-motivated attacks" and said and that the law suit "has nothing to do with the Prime Minister". Users on Twitter were quick to pick up the apparent lack of news. In 2015, Malaysia blocked news websites and shutdown newspapers that had run articles on the corruption allegations surrounding PM Najib Razak. It also issued an arrest warrant for the editor of the Sarawak Report website who accused the country of "silencing free media". First year student De'Andre Johnson, 19, was initially suspended but was dropped from the team on Monday after prosecutors released the video. He was charged with misdemeanour battery after the incident on 24 June at a Tallahassee bar. The 21-year-old woman suffered bruising and swelling to her face, police said. Mr Johnson, a quarterback nicknamed "Mr Football", was a standout player at First Coast High School. He graduated early to play for Florida State, although he was not expected to become the starting quarterback in the coming season. Florida State has one of the top university football programmes in the US. Former quarterback Jameis Winston was the number one pick in April's National Football League draft. The security camera footage shows Mr Johnson and the woman arguing in a crowded bar. After the woman strikes Mr Johnson with her hand, he punches her in the face, throwing her off balance. Mr Johnson remains a student at Florida State. His family has hired Jose Baez, a prominent Florida defence lawyer. "While it is clear from the video that De'Andre Johnson was not the initial aggressor, his family wants to take the lead in helping him learn and grow from this experience," Mr Baez said. This year, perhaps more than ever, the ceremony will be about who says what as much as who wins what and who wears what. Five weeks on from President Trump's inauguration, with the nation divided over the US president and his policies, many Hollywood stars will feel the need to take a stand on the biggest stage of all. Meryl Streep got the ball rolling at the Golden Globes seven weeks ago. That made her even more of a hero in Hollywood, pretty much secured her an Oscar nomination and gave other actors licence to speak out too. It's likely that most of those who want to make a point won't mention Mr Trump by name, but will instead make thinly veiled references to him by talking about tolerance and inclusion. But Hollywood has a dilemma. The country is split, and Trump supporters already see celebrities - most of whom lined up behind Hillary Clinton - as an out-of-touch elite. In a recent Hollywood Reporter poll, two thirds of Trump supporters said they had switched off an awards show when the winners got political. Will making big political or moral pronouncements from the podium change anybody's minds? Or will they just make them turn off? If she could, she surely would. But she's the outsider to win best actress for Florence Foster Jenkins. The favourite is La La Land's Emma Stone, who said in November that Trump's election was a "chance for us to all unite and do the very, very best we can to speak out and be brave." Stone has shied away from speaking out much since, mostly limiting herself to saying how "the positive gift of creativity" can transcend borders in divisive times. Also in contention is Natalie Portman, who has also made her opposition clear. If she wins, perhaps she will repeat a speech she gave to a Women's March in January, in which she thanked Mr Trump for starting "the revolution". This was a reference to the fact he has galvanised a new movement demanding greater respect and opportunities for women. The Moonlight star and best supporting actor-elect delivered a powerful speech at the Screen Actors Guild Awards recently, first explaining how his film demonstrates what can happen when people are persecuted. Against the backdrop of Trump's travel ban, he went on to reveal that he converted to Islam 17 years ago and that his mother is a Christian minister - but that they put aside the differences in their beliefs, which are "not that important". Fellow nominee Dev Patel has said flying into the US in the midst of the travel ban uproar felt like "entering into a nightmare". Jeff Bridges has been more sanguine than most, urging Americans to "work together to make the most beautiful existence that we can". He's certainly more sanguine than Michael Shannon, a surprise nominee for Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals. Some think Oscar voters picked him partly because of his vitriolic statements about the President - like he "is going to destroy civilisation as we know it, and the earth", and that "if you're voting for Trump, it's time for the urn." Davis, who presented Meryl Streep with her honorary award at the Golden Globes, is going to win the best supporting actress Oscar - if you believe the pundits. It would be no surprise if the Fences star sends a strong message from the stage, although it may not be directly directed at Donald Trump. Backstage at the Globes, she said the identity crisis facing America was "bigger than him". Talking about "the true meaning of what it means to pursue the American dream", she said: "I think that we've fallen short a lot because there is no way that we can have anyone in office that is not an extension of our own belief system. So then what does that say about us?" Speaking at the Bafta Film Awards earlier this month, the best actor contender said he had spoken to Streep and praised her for her speech. "I told her how much her speech at the Golden Globes meant to all of us and how grateful I was that she did it and kicked in the door a little bit." The speech, he went on, "said it's okay to talk about these things and said it doesn't matter if we are actors, we have been given a microphone and we can speak out." His main challenger for the best actor award, Denzel Washington, was the victim of "fake news" when it was reported he was supporting Mr Trump during the election campaign. He denied it - though the experience seems to have made him more angry with the media for recycling such stories than with Trump himself. It is the Oscar host's duty to deliver an opening monologue that gently mocks the assembled glitterati while making humorous references to topical events. So expect there to be a lot of Trump in the opening address by Kimmel. Like every other talk show host, Kimmel has had a field day aiming barbs at Mr Trump on his nightly ABC programme. The Iranian director's A Separation won the best foreign film Oscar in 2012, and he is nominated again this time for The Salesman. But he has said he will boycott the ceremony in protest at Mr Trump's attempt to ban travel from Iran and six other countries - even if he is able to attend. Explaining his decision in a statement, he drew a parallel between "hard-liners" in the US and Iran who both frame the world through an "us and them" mentality. Voters could well make a point by giving his film the statuette - and it's likely you'll hear his name mentioned from the podium by other winners. Aside from the prospect of alienating half the country, there's another reason the winners may not get political. They only have 45 seconds each to deliver their speeches before the orchestra strikes up and drowns them out. That's barely enough time to thank your mom, dad, agent, all the other wonderful nominees who are much more deserving of this award and God - never mind make a profound political point that is going to heal the nation.

It follows concerns last year over staffing levels in the region, which meant some appliances in the north east of Scotland could not be used. The thirteen men and three women have spent the past 14 weeks training at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service College in Portlethen. They will now be deployed to stations throughout Aberdeen. The Easter Road boss remains adamant his side should have been awarded a penalty in the 2-2 draw with Falkirk. They need to win at Falkirk in Friday's second leg, but Stubbs says that would have been their approach regardless. "We all know it was a penalty, but it's gone, there's nothing we can do about it now," said Stubbs. "What we can do is put another performance in and get the result. "Anyone who thinks it wasn't a penalty makes themselves look a bit silly. But as far as we're all concerned, we move on. It's not going to be an excuse. "We've got another 90 minutes, potentially 120 minutes, to get the result, irrespective of what happened the other night. "Even if we were taking a lead into the game, our approach would be to go there and win. We know we're playing well and we know that we can create chances. "It's going to be a very difficult game, Falkirk have done great this season, they're well organised, have a very good team spirit and individual players who can hurt you." Across five meetings this season, the sides have drawn four times, with Hibs edging the only victory by a single goal. Despite a hectic run of fixtures, Stubbs has no new injury concerns ahead of the return fixture. Midfielder Marvin Bartley, who missed the first leg with a leg injury, also returns to the squad. Stubbs dismissed speculation linking him to the managerial vacancy at Blackburn, and insists he is relishing the pressure of the play-off games and Scottish Cup final, which could see Hibs play four games in the next 13 days. If Hibs prevail on Friday, they would face Kilmarnock in the first leg of the play-off final on Tuesday, 17 May, with the second leg the following Wednesday, 25 May, with the cup final against Rangers sandwiched in between. "Nothing will distract me," Stubbs said. "We've got, potentially, a huge 13 days left. "It could be a great 13 days and no matter if I'm getting linked with someone or the players are getting linked with someone, we're not going to lose our focus or lose sight of what we've wanted to achieve all season. "It's fantastic: cup final, chance of promotion, it doesn't get any better. How can I not be looking forward to that? "The players have responded magnificently and the play-offs have helped because they've taken our mind off the cup final. Nobody's thought about the cup final, and it's only 10 days away." Hibs' on-loan Celtic striker Anthony Stokes says coping with the pressure of the play-off games will be the same as dealing with an Old Firm match. "I always remember Neil Lennon saying to me after an Old Firm game, just focus on the football, not the occasion. It's the same with this," Stokes says. "Everybody knows what's on the line, but you've got to treat it as another game of football. "You need to keep your composure, be focused and not be nervous going into the game. "But it comes down to quality. The better football team wins nine times out of 10. "You can say what you want, you can have your talk off the pitch, but it comes down to who takes their chances on the night and who keeps their nerve." The 26-year-old from Teesside won the race in 6.50 seconds, ahead of fellow Briton Theo Etienne, who clocked a personal best of 6.56. Only Jamaica's Asafa Powell (6.49secs) has run faster than Kilty in 2016. Kilty will not defend his World Indoor title this month in order to focus on preparations for the Olympics. Andrew Robertson has been handed the second 60m spot alongside James Dasaolu, after he recorded a lifetime best 6.54s at the British trials last week. The 25-year-old from Manchester was picked ahead of Sean Safo-Antwi. The championships take place in Portland, Oregon and begin on 17 March. Andrew Benain approached a couple for drugs in a Birmingham street but police said the pair fled with his £80. In a rage, he chased them across a park in his vehicle, causing "catastrophic" leg injuries to the woman when she fell and he accelerated over her. At Birmingham Crown Court, Benain admitted wounding with intent. He also admitted dangerous driving. More updates on this story and others in Birmingham and the Black Country The actions of the 40 year old, from Oldbury, caused multiple fractures to the woman's pelvis and ruptured her bladder and bowel. Investigating officer Det Con Sarah Evans said the incident, on 25 September last year, could have ended in a murder inquiry as the woman was only freed when her partner dragged her away from the VW Touran. Nearby officers who went to the Ladywood park after hearing the commotion had to jump for cover as Benain drove around trying to escape before exiting through a wooden fence. He was arrested when police traced him to his home address. Ms Evans said: "In interview, Benain claimed he was asleep at the time of the incident and that he'd sold the Touran days earlier to a man he knew only as 'Slim'. "However, in the face of the evidence we presented he eventually changed his story and admitted being the driver. "This was an outrageous act and a gross over-reaction… he has now paid the price and will have plenty of time in prison to consider his actions. "I wish the victim well in her continued recovery." Healy has led the Blues to the Irish Premiership title, an Irish Cup triumph and a County Antrim Shield win in his first full season in charge. "We had our disappointments last year. I and the Board were frustrated wondering why we could not get players to come to Linfield," commented Healy. "Hopefully the season we have had will make my job a wee bit easier." "We need to start building something here and hopefully some new players will be announced soon. Players might start wanting to come to Linfield and we can bring quality players to this club." The new league champions have already been linked with moves for ex-Glentoran player Jordan Stewart, who has recently parted company with Swindon Town, as well as Portadown midfielder Robert Garrett. Crusaders, their rivals in the thrilling chase for the championship, have reached agreement with Portadown striker Mark McAllister. After Saturday's 3-0 Irish Cup final win over Coleraine, Healy agreed an extension to his contract with the club which will see him remain at the helm of the Windsor Park outfit until the end of the 2019-20 season. "I was fortunate to have a decent career in England and Scotland, fortunate to score the goals I did for Northern Ireland, but to be manager of Linfield and to win trophies is such a privilege. I'm chuffed to bits," added Healy. "We were runners-up last year in the three competitions that we have won this season and sometimes you have to feel the pain and the hurt so that when you do achieve success, it feels a wee bit sweeter. "Andy Waterworth will grab the headlines for scoring a hat-trick in a cup final and rightly so, but it has been a real combined effort." Waterworth received a further boost on Sunday when he was named Northern Ireland Football Writers' Player of the Month for April. The striker netted five goals during the month and then scored the treble which helped his side clinch the league championship by beating Cliftonville on the final day of the Premiership season. Yn y gynhadledd bydd cynrychiolwyr yn clywed galwad am ymgynghoriad ar y posibilrwydd o godi treth incwm i dalu am wasanaethau. Roedd tribiwnlys o'r farn bod Mr McEvory wedi torri cod ymddygiad Cyngor Caerdydd drwy fwlio a dangos diffyg parch at aelod o staff yr awdurdod. Dywedodd y tribiwnlys nad oedd wedi dwyn anfri ar swydd cynghorydd, nac ar enw da Cyngor Caerdydd. Dywedodd Mr McEvoy bod y broses yn ffars, ond yn ôl cadeirydd Plaid Cymru, Alun Ffred Jones mae'r mater yn un "difrifol iawn" ac y byddai'n cwrdd wyneb yn wyneb gyda Mr McEvoy yr wythnos nesaf. Ar ail ddiwrnod y gynhadledd wanwyn yng Nghasnewydd, bydd llefarydd economi Plaid Cymru, Adam Price yn galw am ymgynghoriad ar godi treth incwm er mwyn talu am wasanaethau cyhoeddus. Ymhlith y dewisiadau mae codi'r dreth o geiniog yn y bunt er mwyn gwario ar iechyd neu addysg. Dywedodd Mr Price: "Ry'n ni'n paratoi rhaglen o lywodraethu y byddwn yn ei chyflwyno gerbron pobl Cymru yn Etholiad 2021. "Fe fyddwn ni'n ymgynghori ar y cwestiwn allweddol o beth ddylen ni wneud gyda'r pwerau treth incwm newydd, a ni fydd y blaid wleidyddol gyntaf yng Nghymru i ystyried yn agored cael ceiniog ychwanegol yn benodol ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, sydd yn buddsoddi go iawn yn y newid i system integredig ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. "Fe fyddwn ni'n gofyn yr un cwestiwn am addysg hefyd. "Ceiniog o bob punt yn ychwanegol ar dreth incwm - beth allai hynny ei olygu yn nhermau ein hysgolion? "Ry'n ni'n gwybod o'r tro diwethaf yr oedd gennym ffigyrau cymharol bod £600 yn llai i bob disgybl yn y sector cynradd yng Nghymru o gymharu â Lloegr. "Pe byddwn ni fel cymdeithas yn penderfynu ein bod am gynnig system addysg o safon byd, a fyddai awydd allan yna i ddefnyddio'r pwerau treth incwm sydd gennym fel cenedl er mwyn gwneud hynny?" Yn ei haraith ddydd Gwener, dywedodd arweinydd Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood mai pleidleisio dros Blaid Cymru oedd yr unig ffordd i bobl Cymru fod â rheolaeth o'u bywydau eu hunain. Ymhlith y siaradwyr eraill yn y gynhadledd ddydd Sadwrn bydd yr Aelod o Senedd Ewrop, Jill Evans, ac Aelod Seneddol Arfon, Hywel Williams. They say more than 100 rallies have taken place across the country to oppose moves to tighten restrictions on gun ownership. Protesters say the moves breach their constitutional right to bear arms. The rallies follow the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut in December, which left 20 children and six teachers dead. That prompted calls for restrictions on gun use and a strong backlash from those who oppose them. President Barack Obama wants a ban on assault weapons and wider background checks on people buying guns. "I do not oppose all tightening of gun restriction laws," says Dustin Stockton, one of the organisers of Saturday's protests. "But what we will never accept is the government coming into our homes and demanding to know exactly what kind of weaponry we have for our natural right of self-preservation." At one of the protests, in Maryland near Washington, about 100 people gathered. Many wore T-shirts showing a rattlesnake and the words: "Don't tread on me!" The symbol has been adopted by the conservative Tea Party movement, which organised this show of opposition, the BBC's Ben Wright in Washington reports. In Sarasota, Florida, the Herald-Tribune news site estimated more than 50 people had attended. "It's one of my rights - one I'd die for," it quoted Terry Childers as saying. Others carried placards showing their support - including one with a picture of an assault rifle, reading: "Come and take it." The protests follow a week of calls for tighter gun laws. Some states have demanded mandatory liability insurance for gun owners. On Thursday, Vice-President Joe Biden gave a speech not far from Newtown, Connecticut, where last year's deadly school shooting took place. He said there was a "moral price to be paid" for inaction over gun control laws and criticised politicians "more concerned about your political survival" than the safety of America's children. While President Obama takes his campaign for the assault weapon ban and universal background checks to America's cities, his opponents are mobilising, our correspondent says. He adds that both camps are now fighting to capture public opinion and persuade politicians in Congress to back them. The Espad report for 2015 includes most EU countries, but not Germany or the UK, and data for Spain is incomplete. In 2015 "current smokers" accounted for 21% of those surveyed, and the highest total was in Italy (37%). In 1995-2015 those using alcohol in the past 30 days fell from 56% to 47%. Top in cannabis use were the Czechs (37%). That figure for Czech teenagers reporting a lifetime experience of cannabis was higher than the level in the US - 31% in comparable surveys. The average for cannabis use in the European countries surveyed was 16%. That was lower than the comparable figure for Spain - 27%. Cannabis was far more readily available than other drugs such as ecstasy or cocaine. The report found no correlation between anti-drugs legislation and the cannabis data. "Trends in cannabis use indicate an increase in both lifetime and current use between 1995 and 2015, from 11% to 17% and from 4% to 7%, respectively," Espad said. Espad is short for European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs. The results showed large differences in cannabis use among European countries, with an upward trend in Bulgaria, Greece, Poland and Romania, among others. The proportion of students who started daily smoking at an early age - before 13 - fell over the 20 years from 10% to 4%. Alcohol use among European teenagers remains high, the report said. But lifetime use in 1995-2015 fell from 89% to 81%. Nordic countries - but not Denmark - were among those with the lowest alcohol consumption among teenagers. High alcohol rates were found in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia and Hungary. New psychoactive substances (NPS) - not generally controlled under anti-narcotics laws - "seem to be more commonly used than amphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine or LSD," Espad says. NPS chemicals imitate the effects of illegal drugs. Students in Estonia and Poland (both 8%) were the most likely to have experiences with NPS. The European average was 4%. It was designed and constructed at Dounreay, near Thurso, in Caithness under the guidance of experienced tradesmen at the site. The box will be installed at Wick's Town and County Hospital Memory Garden. The garden was created to provide patients, including people with dementia, a peaceful space. Apprentice Mark Fraser designed the box during his placement in Dounreay's design office. Fellow apprentice Jimmy Budge carried out the majority of the build work with help from others. Carol Robertson, apprentice training manager, said: "The apprentices have produced an excellent piece of work. "You would have difficulty distinguishing between an original phone box and the one they have created." Dounreay is an experimental nuclear site which dates to the 1950s and is in the process of being decommissioned. Police said they were called at about 15:10 GMT to reports of a fallen tree at Bremhill near Calne. When they arrived, they found a man in his 70s with serious injuries. A spokesman said "early indications" showed the man was "electrocuted as he tried to clear the tree." He was pronounced dead at the scene. A Southern Electric Power Distribution spokesman said: "Earlier today we were, unfortunately, made aware of a fatality in the Melksham area. "We were called to the site and made the situation safe and although we cannot speculate on the cause we can say the police were on site with our team. We will continue to assist the police with their inquiries." The authority is using agency staff and contractors to help clear the backlog as the dispute enters its seventh week. Councillor Lisa Trickett, the city's environment boss, said the authority hoped to find a resolution to the "challenging" situation this week. The Unite union has warned the action could continue until Christmas unless a "fair deal" is negotiated. See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here Why are city refuse workers on strike? Ms Trickett, cabinet member for clean streets, recycling and environment, said a contractor had been brought in to carry out an evening collection at tower blocks. She added a number of agency staff were also being used, with the council facing a basic daily cost of £40,000 due to the action. "We will look for a resolution this week, we have opened the door and said join us for discussions at [conciliation service] Acas," she said. "We have agreement on some key areas, it is a case of the union coming and joining us and actually finding a way forward. "We have to get this bin service back. It's not just the bin service that's suffering, other public services are put at risk by the cost of this strike action." On Friday, the union said it was balloting refuse collection members to renew its industrial action mandate, which could result in more strikes after the present round ends on 21 September. The council said it was "very disappointed" by the warning and said Unite was "effectively holding the city to ransom". The conflict centres on restructuring plans that Unite says are threatening the jobs of more than 120 refuse collectors. The council says plans will modernise the service and save £5m a year. Fighter jets, helicopters and artillery have pounded rebel positions ahead of a feared full-scale assault within days. Tanks are trying to push into two key rebel-held areas, the opposition says. In Damascus, another vital battleground in the war, army sources said rebels had been pushed from a last stronghold. The rebels said they had withdrawn. Meanwhile, Iran is seeking the release of 48 Iranians kidnapped on Saturday. Iranian diplomats and Syrian state television blamed the abduction, which took place near the shrine of Sayyida Zainab in a suburb of Damascus, on "armed groups". Iran has now asked Turkey and Qatar, both of whom have good relations with the Syrian opposition, to help win the release of the Iranians who it says are pilgrims. Rebels claimed on Sunday that some of those taken were members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, according to al-Arabiya television. By Richard GalpinBBC News, on the Turkish-Syria border Early last week we started receiving reports from Syrian opposition activists that military convoys were heading for Aleppo from different parts of the country. An eyewitness described seeing tanks, artillery and troop transporters in one particularly large column. Now these army reinforcements have arrived, it seems the "big push" feared by the rebels is either already underway or about to start. On Sunday for the first time opposition sources say tanks are moving through the districts of Salah al-Din and Saif al-Dowla which lie on the main road into the city. Fighting is also reported near Aleppo's famous ancient castle in the heart of the old city. The government and rebels are squaring up for the most important battle of this uprising; whoever controls Aleppo can also dominate much of northern Syria. Separately, Syria's first astronaut is reported to have joined the opposition and fled to Turkey, the latest in a series of high-profile defections. Muhammed Faris met Free Syrian Army (FSA) commanders in Aleppo and gave them his support before crossing the border, the Turkish news agency Anatolia reported. The FSA is also reporting that three Syrian intelligence offices have defected. A spokesperson for the group said Colonel Yarab al-Shara and his brother Mohammed Kanaan al-Shara - who are from the same clan as Syria's Sunni vice president - and Colonel Yasser Ali Hajj have sought refuge in Jordan. Meanwhile, a British photojournalist who was kidnapped and wounded by Islamist militants in northern Syria has told the BBC up to 15 of his captors were from the UK. John Cantlie and Dutch photographer Jeroen Oerlemans were held at a camp for a week in July. The Syrian military has been steadily building up its forces around Aleppo, massing large numbers of tanks and other armoured vehicles as well as troops, in preparation for a much more intense attack, says the BBC's Richard Galpin on the Turkish border. There is already fierce fighting in and around the city as troops try to push rebel forces out from southern and eastern districts. The army is using tanks to try to break its way into the districts of Salah al-Din and Saif al-Dawla, which lie on the main road into the city, opposition sources say. Areas where rebels are entrenched have been bombarded by government forces and clashes have been reported in several areas, including in the heart of the old city. A spokesman for the rebels said they were continuing to push into the centre, moving towards the historic castle in the old city. Opposition sources said there was now fighting around the castle itself - but this has not been confirmed by independent sources. The rebels, who have also increased their numbers, are well dug in and continue to try to extend the territory under their control, our correspondent says. The biggest advantage for the government is the use of helicopters and fighter jets; but more troops will also have to fight their way into the city if they are to stand any chance of retaking it, and that will make it a much more even battle, he adds. Abdel Jabar Oqaida, a commander of the Free Syrian Army in Aleppo, told the AFP news agency that the restive Salah al-Din district had "come under the heaviest bombardment since the battle began" on 20 July. A senior government security official told the agency: "The battle for Aleppo has not yet begun, and what is happening now is just the appetiser... the main course will come later." The fight for the key strategic city has been intensifying over the last few days, with Syrian state television reporting that troops had inflicted huge losses on what it called "terrorist mercenaries" in Salah al-Din and in other nearby areas. In the capital, government forces claimed to have pushed out rebel fighters from their final stronghold in the city, the southern neighbourhood of Tadamon. Free Syrian Army forces withdrew, an opposition activist told AFP from Beirut. State media has reported that the whole of Damascus is now in government hands, almost three weeks after opposition forces launched a series of attacks there. Such reports are impossible to verify and the situation on the ground is changing fast. Activists say more than 20,000 people - mostly civilians - have died in 17 months of unrest. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will travel to Turkey on 11 August for talks on the conflict in Syria, the US State Department said. Mrs Clinton is adding the stop in Turkey to her lengthy tour of Africa. It said sending nude or explicit images of themselves on social media had become "normal" among teenagers. But it was leaving them vulnerable to exploitation or blackmail, it added. A campaign is being launched to give children and their parents advice if a child becomes involved in sexting. The NCA's centre for tackling abuse, Ceop Command, said it received an average of one report a day of a child protection issue linked to sexting. In some instances young people are targeted by strangers who attempt to blackmail them over images they have been tricked into taking. Other cases involve private messages between friends being forwarded to others or a user posting a picture of themselves on a website or social media with low privacy settings. Zoe Hilton, head of safeguarding at Ceop Command, said: "Something that has started out as relatively innocent or normal for the young people involved has unfortunately turned into something that is quite nasty and needs intervention in order to safeguard and protect the child. "The young person thinks they are sending it to someone they trust and actually that person turns out to be quite exploitative and not who they think they are." A spokesman for the NSPCC said sexting was a "huge problem" and can leave children "devastated". The Police Service of Northern Ireland is currently investigating the death of teenager Ronan Hughes, who apparently took his own life earlier this month. Superintendent Mike Baird said it was understood that the schoolboy from Co Tyrone "took his own life after he had been tricked into posting images on a social networking site". His family has since issued a plea for parents to start a conversation with their children about online safety. The NCA campaign aims to help parents deal with the problem of sexting and minimise the risks. Justine Roberts, chief executive of parenting website Mumsnet, said: "No parent wants their child to be exploited, hurt or bullied online, but some adults can feel a bit bewildered by the many different apps, sites and platforms, and by web-based scenarios that just didn't occur when they were growing up. "More hard information for both kids and parents, such as that being provided by Ceop, is always welcome as families negotiate the possibilities and pitfalls of new tech."

On the eve of Nigeria's presidential election, residents of the capital, Abuja, were rushing to shops and markets to stock up on everything from bottled water and bread to other essential supplies. This resulted in clogged supermarkets and queues at ATMs. I was told that in one bank you could not withdraw more than 100,000 naira (about $500, £340) from your account in the week leading up to the 28 March electoral contest between President Goodluck Jonathan and opposition leader Muhammadu Buhari. At one supermarket I went to, the shelves for bread were empty and there was a long queue of people waiting to get loaves being brought in hot from an adjoining bakery. All this frenzy was because of the fear that the poll could result in violence, similar to that seen after the disputed 2011 election when some 800 people died. The prospect of an upset in the 28 March election led many local and international groups to try to ease concerns of violence erupting by getting President Jonathan of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Gen Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to sign a peace agreement and to pledge that they will abide by the verdict of the electorate. The two candidates straddled the religious and regional fault lines in Nigeria, with President Jonathan a Christian from the south and Gen Buhari a Muslim northerner. The desperate campaign rhetoric had not improved the atmosphere with some highly provocative claims by the politicians. There was a flurry of international intervention - most notably by the US. President Barack Obama released a statement on the eve of the election reminding Nigerians that "to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done", echoing the mantra heard after the 1967-1970 Biafran civil war which threatened to break up Africa's most populous state. International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda also had a clip repeatedly broadcast on some television channels, warning that those responsible for hate crimes committed during the election could be tried at the ICC. On the day itself, the permanent voter cards and biometric card readers introduced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) helped to sanitise the election and made it difficult for the 100% voter turnout that used to occur in the past - and through which dubious figures used to be returned as votes. With supporters of the two main candidates heavily mobilised, the vote passed off generally peacefully in spite of some minor hitches. The one time when everyone in Nigeria held their breath was at the collation centre where results were being announced a few days later. A PDP agent and a former government minister, Godsday Orubebe, nearly disrupted the whole process by accusing the electoral boss of bias - a charge he dismissed after a tense few minutes that seemed like hours to most Nigerians glued to their televisions and radios that were broadcasting the whole drama live. Before the matter was defused, many Nigerians feared either a repeat of what happened in Ivory Coast in 2010 when the announcement of election results was halted and the result sheet was torn up live on television by a ruling party agent, leading to a brief civil war Or a repeat of the Nigerian situation in 1993 when a court halted the announcement of results and the military subsequently annulled the poll, leading to a prolonged political crisis in the country. When it emerged later that day that President Jonathan had called and congratulated the opposition candidate and conceded defeat, Nigeria erupted into celebrations several hours before the formal announcement was made by Inec that Gen Buhari had won the election by a margin of more than two million votes. It is a sad irony that the scores of deaths which followed were not as a result of political clashes, but the reckless way in which some people were celebrating the victory through dangerous driving and other stunts. And while some of the credit for the historic week must go to the electoral commission and to a president who found a redeeming feature in a generally lacklustre term in office, it was also the Nigerian people who were determined to show they had come of age. They are savouring the fact that they have broken the jinx that an incumbent cannot be defeated through the ballot box. These strengthened democratic credentials leave a sweet taste for Nigerians and should also be as a warning to the president-elect that it is no longer possible to take the voters for granted. Two Chris Noakes penalties put the Exiles 6-0 ahead at the break. Alex Lewington's try straight from kick-off at the start of the second half and Topsy Ojo's score three minutes later sent Irish well clear. Falcons hit back through Andy Goode's penalty and tries from Nili Latu and Marcus Watson, but the Exiles held on. With this pair of sides having finished in the two places immediately above bottom spot last season both were tipped to struggle again in 2015-16, and they went into their meeting in Berkshire with only one win apiece from eight games and occupying the bottom two slots in the table. A sparse crowd inside the Madejski Stadium were made to endure a cagey and try-less first 40 minutes, with two Noakes penalties the difference between the teams. But, while the opening period was short of action in either 22, Lewington and Ojo both touched down within four minutes of the restart as the contest quickly opened up. Latu then crossed in the corner and Goode, playing against the side for whom he signed in the summer but never played because of injury problems, landed a penalty to reduce the deficit. Watson's converted try, while Irish hooker David Paice was in the sin bin, dragged Newcastle back to within five points - but the Falcons could not force another score despite heavy late pressure and had to be content with as losing bonus point. London Irish head coach Tom Coventry told BBC Radio Berkshire: "I was squirming in my seat there with a couple of minutes to go. It was a tough game, both teams probably played with a lack of confidence. "We all played probably to not lose rather than go out there with a positive attitude and compete with the ball. "It ended up being a bit of a dire spectacle even though we had a 20-point lead at one stage. We're still not managing those big moments well enough. "I think it was our own doing that put us under pressure in the closing moments. We got the win, but we still need to be much better than that." Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards: "I feel sorry for (backs coach) Dave Walder in many ways. You look at the guys who are injured - we're probably lacking that little bit of X-Factor which you get with guys like (Alesana) Tuilagi, Sinoti Sinoti, Mike Delany, (Gonzalo) Tiesi, (Sonatane) Takulua and (Ruki) Tipuna. "We've got a full international backline which is out at this moment in time and even though we scored twice and created four more opportunities, we're still not scoring and converting as many as we want to. "London Irish didn't look like scoring (a try) other than on those two occasions and that was the disappointing thing."

Maria Boncza-Tomaszewska, Geoff Collier, Ken Crellin, Julie Maddrell and Mike Murley took an oath of allegiance and justice on Thursday. A government spokesman said the community volunteers were now ready to hear cases at Douglas court house. Deemster Doyle said they would play a "vital role" within the justice system. He added: "They all bring with them their individual strengths, experiences of life and their sense of justice and fairness. The justice system will be stronger for that. "The justices play a vital role at the sharp end of the administration of justice in this wonderful island. It is very healthy that members of the community are willing to actively engage in the administration of justice within the community." The spacecraft is expected to crash into the planet's surface at 20:26 BST on Thursday; it made its final powered manoeuvre on 28 April. After reaching Mercury in 2011, Messenger has far exceeded its primary mission plan of one year in orbit. It is only slowly losing altitude but will hit at 8,750mph (14,000km/h). That means the 513kg craft, which is only 3m across, will blast a 16m crater into an area near the planet's north pole, according to scientists' calculations. All of Messenger's fuel, half its weight at launch, is completely spent; its last four manoeuvres, extending the flight as far as possible, have been accomplished by venting the helium gas normally used to pressurise actual rocket fuel into the thrusters. The high-speed collision, 12 times faster than sound, will obliterate this history-making craft. And it will only happen because Mercury has no thick atmosphere to burn up incoming objects - the same reason its surface is so pock-marked by impact craters. During its twice-extended mission, Messenger (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) transformed our understanding of Mercury. It sent back more than 270,000 images and 10 terabytes of scientific measurements. It found evidence for water ice hiding in the planet's shadowy polar craters, and discovered that Mercury's magnetic field is bizarrely off-centre, shifted along the planet's axis by 10% of its diameter. Messenger traces a highly elliptical orbit around Mercury, drifting out to a distance of nearly twice the planet's diameter before swinging to within 60 miles (96km) at closest approach. To maintain this pattern in the face of interference from the Sun, it needed a blast of engine power every few months - but its fuel tanks are now empty. After circling the planet 4,104 times, Messenger made its penultimate pass at a distance of between 300 and 600 metres - one or two times the height of the Eiffel Tower - at about 13:00 BST on Thursday. "If you could see that, it would be a real spectacle," said Jim Raines, the instrument scientist on the craft's FIPS instrument (Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer) and a physicist at the University of Michigan. "It would cross the horizon in just a second or two, flying low overhead at ten times the speed of a supersonic fighter." The next time it swings back close to Mercury's surface, eight hours later, it will be curtains for Messenger; the impact has been precisely modelled using maps produced by the craft's own data. Mercury has towering cliffs left by its shrinking, wrinkling history, but the predicted path has Messenger missing these. "It's a pretty flat area of the planet," said Nancy Chabot, the instrument scientist on the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS), Messenger's twin cameras. "It's going to be a skimming impact." But it will leave a mark. "It will probably be an oblique crater... because the impact angle will be so shallow, so grazing to the surface. But at over 8,000 miles per hour, it's going to make a crater." The impact will happen on the side of the planet facing away from Earth. This puts the craft out of contact, and means it will probably carry more than 1,000 unseen images to its final, explosive resting place. MDIS can take hundreds of photos every day. Earlier this month, mission scientists released fresh images which superimposed years of spectrometry data about the chemistry of the planet's surface, illustrated by different colours, onto black-and-white images built up from thousands of smaller MDIS photos. The planet has been mapped and studied to a level of detail far beyond the original mission plan. Many of the results themselves have also been surprising. "A lot of people didn't give this spacecraft much of a chance of even getting to Mercury, let alone going into orbit and then gathering data for four years instead of the original scheduled one-year mission," said William McClintock from the University of Colorado Boulder, principal investigator on MASCS (the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer, another of the seven scientific instruments on board). "In the end, most of what we considered to be gospel about Mercury turned out to be a little different than we thought." Dr Chabot remembers the tension of processing the first image ever recorded by a spacecraft orbiting Mercury, back in 2011. She had only recently taken over as the instrument scientist on MDIS. "It was exciting but for me personally it was also a bit stressful," Dr Chabot, who works at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, told the BBC. "But then the first image came back and it looked amazing and beautiful, and we realised we were here at Mercury to stay. I take a lot of pride in that image." Despite being able to look back with pride, Dr Raines said this is still a sad day for Messenger scientists. "Pretty much all the instruments are still doing great, so that makes it a little harder," he told BBC News. But the mission was always going to be limited by the fuel needed to maintain its difficult orbit. "To be honest, I've seen this day coming for a long time and it's just one of these things that I've not been looking forward to. I'm really going to be sad to see it go." Follow Jonathan on Twitter He got a solid majority among MEPs in a secret ballot - 422 votes - and the support of 26 out of 28 EU governments. But British MEPs in particular - the UK Independence Party and the Conservatives - were vocal in their opposition to him. Mr Juncker, 59, based his claim to the EU's top job on being the Spitzenkandidat (lead candidate) of the centre-right European People's Party, which won the May elections. His election is seen as a triumph for the European Parliament, which pioneered the Spitzenkandidat procedure. It was an effort to make the European elections more relevant to voters and give the EU more of a "human face". But UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the parliament had usurped the right of government leaders to choose the EU's top executive. In the past that choice was made behind closed doors, and by unanimity, without a formal vote. Mr Juncker is a controversial figure, as a leading advocate of deeper EU integration, and is often called a "federalist". A veteran of Brussels deal-making, he headed the powerful Eurogroup - the eurozone finance ministers - at the height of the eurozone crisis, when crucial decisions were taken about austerity and bailout conditions. In a speech setting out his agenda for the EU on 15 July he stressed that the euro "protects Europe" and he praised former Commission president Jacques Delors, the man credited with launching the single currency. Mr Juncker was prime minister of Luxembourg from 1995 to 2013 and one of the architects of the euro. But according to Pierre Leyers, financial editor of the daily Luxemburger Wort, it is misleading to call him a "federalist". "He wants deeper integration, but not a European superstate," he told the BBC. Mr Leyers argues that coming from a tiny country has enhanced Mr Juncker's influence in the EU, odd though that may seem to people unfamiliar with Brussels politics. Luxembourg was a founding member of the community which became the EU and, sandwiched between France and Germany, "it had no choice but to try to be on good terms with its neighbours", Mr Leyers said. "So some Luxembourg politicians were always good negotiators and diplomats, to get France and Germany together." The drive for post-war reconciliation shaped Mr Juncker's political views. Early in his political career he worked for Prime Minister Pierre Werner, who helped to forge the Franco-German bond at the heart of the European project. Mr Werner came up with a plan for monetary union which was later developed by Jacques Delors. Mr Juncker went on to become one of the world's longest-serving democratically elected leaders. But some of his past remarks have raised eyebrows, suggesting a less than firm commitment to democracy. Ahead of the French vote on the European Constitution in 2005 he said: "If it's a Yes, we will say 'on we go', and if it's a No we will say 'we continue'". And in 2011 he said "monetary policy is a serious issue - we should discuss this in secret, in the Eurogroup... I am for secret, dark debates". His greatest EU challenge has been shoring up the eurozone since the 2008 financial crash, when Greece's colossal debts, and those of other struggling eurozone countries, threatened the very survival of the single currency. In a high-profile TV debate on 15 May Mr Juncker said he had worked "night and day" to rescue Greece. According to Mr Leyers, at the height of the crisis he was working 14 hours a day and that took a toll on his health. He is a heavy smoker. He is by far the most popular politician in Luxembourg, added the journalist at the Grand Duchy's leading daily. In the TV debate, Mr Juncker said it was now time for the EU to "replace debt by ideas" and achieve a digital single market, while ensuring "minimum social standards for workers". He also called for an EU-US free trade treaty. The negotiations are controversial, amid widespread European anxiety about powerful US corporations. Mr Juncker is a strong advocate of a European "solidarity" union - an EU that strives to raise living standards in its poorest regions and sectors. He has not explained how an EU-US free trade deal might impact on EU social protection policies, which currently cost the EU many billions through support for farmers and projects to help poor communities. He claimed that such a deal would give each European an extra 545 euros (£443; $742) - an exaggeration, according to a fact check by Eurovision, which hosted the debate. He has also defended the Common Agricultural Policy, saying agriculture employs about 30 million Europeans. But the UK government is among the many critics who say the CAP is wasteful and want more of the EU budget spent on digital technologies, research and investment in small businesses. Mats Persson, director of the Open Europe think-tank, says Mr Juncker is associated with the EU of the 1980s and 1990s, echoing a criticism attributed to Prime Minister Cameron. After an election that saw a surge in support for Eurosceptic parties, that connection with past EU policies may be a disadvantage, Mr Persson told the BBC. However, Mr Juncker is not vague about the political risks of taking tough economic decisions. He once said, "We all know what to do, we just don't know how to get re-elected after we've done it." Henry did not to return to his home at the castle following an afternoon display for visitors on Saturday. The castle said it was not uncommon for young birds of prey to spread their wings and fly off for a few days, but the public is being asked to remain eagle-eyed. However, people should not approach Henry, who is about a year old with a 6ft wing span. The eagle is not a danger to the public but for his safety, handlers have asked people to report any sightings to the castle. More updates on this and other stories in Warwickshire Henry is described as brown but does not yet have his full adult feathers and was last seen with a bell on his tail and wearing jesses - thin straps, usually leather, used to tether birds. "Our guests enjoy two birds of prey displays each day which can involve up to six birds being in the air at one time," the spokesman said. "Sometimes, the birds will decide to explore the local countryside for a while before returning to their home at the castle. Stanley, a white tailed sea eagle went missing during a show at the tourist attraction in 2012. But despite sightings and attempts to recapture him he has not since returned. The ceiling came down shortly before 20:00 BST at the Al-Miraj Banqueting Suite in Small Heath, Birmingham. Most of the people inside managed to escape but six people, including two girls aged nine and 10 and a young boy, had to be treated by paramedics. The 10-year-old suffered facial injuries caused by shattered glass and was taken to Heartlands Hospital. The nine-year-old girl and a woman in her 40s were treated for shock. A man in his 20s suffered leg pain and a man in his 30s injured his shoulder. The relative of a young boy who had been taken home later called 999 when he was suffering from shock and leg pain. He was taken to hospital. The event was arranged by the Al Ameen School in Birmingham and was to feature live performances from musicians and give out awards to pupils. A teacher answering the phone today said the school would be issuing a statement but added: "All the children are fine." Firefighters and paramedics searched the venue to see if anyone was trapped inside, but all were accounted for. West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman Claire Brown said: "Thankfully, everyone had managed to escape and there were no further patients found. "Whilst we treated six people following the incident, it was incredibly lucky that no one was more seriously or even fatally injured." This year the competition, which happens in Lincolnshire in the UK, was won by a team all the way from New Zealand. Nick Hornstein and Robbie Hollander travelled across the world to compete and they won gold! They took part in the Egg Throwing event which sees teams of two people throwing an egg as far as they can without breaking it. The pair managed to throw their egg a huge 81 metres, frying both their opposition and the old world record of 76 metres. Teams from England, Australia and Germany also participated in the games, but Julie Moens of Canada was the championships' most eggs-ceptional competitor. The Canadian won gold in both the Russian Egg Roulette and the Egg Catapult events. The Russian Egg Roulette challenge is probably the messiest of the lot. It sees two players take turns to pick from six eggs and smash them on their heads. The catch is that five eggs are boiled and one is raw - whoever avoids the raw egg is the winner! A young woman in a headscarf asks the name and district of a caller. So far so unremarkable, but this is a call centre with a difference. "Sometimes we receive calls from the Taliban," she tells me, "they call to tell us that there should be no election." This is where our reporters share stories beyond the daily conflict and politics of a country preparing for the most important poll in its recent history as foreign troops withdraw. We'll focus on the surprising while treating the familiar from fresh angles, combined with a street-level view of a country in transition.

On song, off message Struggling restaurants Russian chocolate Welcome to Afghanistan's "190" election hotline. Around 60 staff, juggling computer, mouse and headphones provide an everyday information service, from 07:00 in the morning to 20:00 at night advising on everything you need to know about the crucial 2014 presidential and provincial polls. The Taliban have threatened the election and everyone associated with it, so the building where they work is secured by guards and blast walls. Qais Safi, one of the mostly young workers manning the phones says that callers usually have practical questions. "People ask how they can get voting cards, who the presidential candidates and their deputies are, what symbols they use and what number they are on the polling papers." Because two-thirds of Afghans are thought to be illiterate, the logos chosen to identify candidates during the campaign and on ballot papers are important, and include anything from an oil lamp to a bulldozer. The call centre staff have been trained for three days, with more workshops to follow as the campaign unfolds. Syed Baryali Shuaib, the head of the centre, says they get 5,000 to 6,000 calls every day, and expects numbers to rise. But only 10% of callers are female. The Election Commission has other means to reach voters too: it produces TV and radio slots and installs roadside billboards. And in a country with almost 20 million mobile users, SMS texts have become as important as messages read out in mosques after Friday prayers. They are a 317-unit development in the Athletic Stores building on Queen Street and an 11-storey, 380-unit development on Little Patrick Street. The Athletic Stores scheme will involve retaining the building's facade and demolishing and rebuilding behind it. The Ulster Architectural and Heritage Society had objected to the scheme. It said a facade retention approach should only be used as a "last resort". However, the planners said that "on balance" the approach was appropriate and would not cause harm to the area's overall character or appearance. Belfast City Council's planning committee is due to make a decision on the applications at a meeting on Tuesday. A series of major student schemes, mainly close to Ulster University's Belfast campus, have been given planning consent in recent months. Philae, the first spacecraft to land on a comet, was dropped on to the surface of Comet 67P by its mothership, Rosetta, last November. It worked for 60 hours before its solar-powered battery ran flat. The comet has moved nearer to the sun since and Philae has enough power to work again, says the BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos. The Philae craft made three short contacts of about 10 seconds each at roughly 9.30pm on Sunday. The probe sent the message: 'Hello Earth! Can you hear me?" Scientists say they now waiting for the next contact. What is the Philae lander? Philae is designed to analyse ice and rock on the comet. The Rosetta probe took 10 years to reach the comet, and the lander - about the size of a washing-machine - bounced at least a kilometre when it touched down. Before it lost power, Philae sent images of its surroundings which showed it was in a type of ditch with high walls blocking sunlight from its solar panels. Its exact location on the comet has since been a mystery. The Grade II-listed building in the heart of the town was built in 1855 but has been unused for a decade. After securing £2.4m of Heritage Lottery Fund cash, the council plans to create a library and business hub. Following an ownership row, the council took it over in July 2016 and has announced work will start in January. Originally, the building housed assembly rooms and a court. However, it passed into private ownership about a decade ago and concerns were raised about its deteriorating condition as it fell into disrepair. After the council failed to find a solution with the owner, the Welsh Government successfully applied for a compulsory purchase order. Conservation work on the main structure and exterior of the building will now begin in the coming weeks. Anglesey council's planning portfolio holder Richard Dew called it an "ambitious project" which will preserve "a significant piece of Holyhead's rich history". The information was released during Monday's funeral service for Freddie Gray, which was followed by more street clashes between protesters and police. Gray, 25, died a week after sustaining serious and unexplained spinal injuries during his arrest. His death sparked daily protests about police force against African Americans. On Saturday the protests turned violent, with some elements confronting police officers and smashing cars. A statement released by police said that its Criminal Intelligence Unit learned "that members of various gangs including the Black Guerrilla Family (BGF), Bloods, and Crips have entered into a partnership" to target officers. Some protesters had warned on Saturday that the gangs would come together in this way, says the BBC's Aleem Maqbool. One man told him: "We gonna unify, you got Bloods, Crips, Muslims, BGF, you got everybody out here, you ain't never see it like this before. Everybody together just to go against these pigs [police]. Meanwhile, around 2,500 people are reported to have packed into the New Shiloh Baptist Church to pay their respects to Gray. President Barack Obama has dispatched three officials to the service. There have been some large, very peaceful protests in Baltimore since the death of Freddie Gray, attended by hundreds upset by what they perceive to be years of police discrimination and brutality. But in many respects they have been overshadowed by more violent displays by small numbers of angry young protesters. Over the weekend, as we watched young men hurling abuse, bottles and even spitting at police officers, we saw other demonstrators try to stop them and argue that only peaceful means would work. But those confronting the police told us they felt the only way to stop officers killing black men was to "make the police pay" and to harm them. They said the various gangs in the city would come together to make that happen until they saw a change, and felt they had got justice. Elijah Cummings, a member of the US House of Representatives, was one of the speakers. Looking at the heavy media presence, he said: "I'm used to a lot of cameras, I ain't seen this many cameras in a long time. "I put my nephew in the grave four years ago - blasted away, still don't know who did it," he told the crowd as he fought back tears. "We will not rest until we address this and see that justice is done," he said referring to Gray's case. On Sunday afternoon, mourners - many of whom did not know Gray - streamed into the funeral home for his wake. Some stood outside holding signs emblazoned with "We remember Freddie" and "Our Hearts Are With The Gray Family". The same day, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake appealed for peace after protests the night before turned violent. There were 34 arrests as peaceful demonstrations by about 1,200 people outside City Hall on Saturday afternoon got out of control. Small groups and individuals splintered from the main group, looting a storefront, tossing a flaming rubbish bin at police, and smashing police cars. Six police officers sustained minor injuries. The protests, the largest to date, were just one episode of near-daily demonstrations that have taken place since Gray's death. Gray lay in a coma for one week before his death, a week after police chased him through a West Baltimore neighbourhood and dragged him into a police van. Police say they arrested him after he made eye contact with officers and ran away. Officials have already accepted that procedures were not properly followed during the arrest. During the arrest and van ride, Gray asked for medical attention a number of times, but was refused. After a 30-minute ride with several stops, including one to place Gray in leg shackles, paramedics were called. Authorities have so far not explained when or how Gray's spine was injured. The Perpignan fly-half has not recovered from a bout of chicken pox and his bench place will be taken by Stephen Jones. Scarlets veteran Jones will extend his Welsh caps record to 105 if he takes to the field. Lock Alun Wyn Jones and captain Sam Warburton return from injuries for the encounter at Twickenham. A Wales statement read: "Although Hook is physically well it was felt that, in the best interests of the Welsh team and the opposition, he should be withdrawn from the game. "Whilst this decision has not been taken lightly, it was concluded that this was the most responsible course of action." Unbeaten Wales made three changes to the pack that started their 27-13 win over Scotland. Media playback is not supported on this device Hooker Ken Owens makes his first Wales start because Matthew Rees and Huw Bennett have calf injuries. Osprey Alun Wyn Jones will play his first Wales game since the World Cup, ousting team-mate Ryan Jones, who hands back the captaincy to openside Warburton. Warburton was forced to miss the victory over the Scots because of a dead leg. Alun Wyn Jones, who win his 60th cap, is back after recovering from a dislocated toe he suffered in training in November. Owens won the second of his two caps as a replacement in the victory over Scotland after making his debut from the bench against Namibia in the pool stages of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The Wales backline remains unchanged from that which started both victories so far in the Championship, against Ireland in Dublin and Scotland in Cardiff. Full Six Nations table The only injury concern in the backline had been George North's twisted ankle but the 19-year-old wing has recovered. "A fit again Alun Wyn Jones is selected based on his Rugby World Cup form and his experience as an international lock," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland. "He gave us a selection dilemma but it has been a great problem to have and, whilst Ryan Jones is particularly unlucky to miss out on this occasion, this is just that kind of competition for places we have been striving for. "Ken Owens has been waiting patiently for his chance and injuries elsewhere have meant he gets his opportunity this weekend and we are expecting him to take it." On the bench Osprey Richard Hibbard provides the hooker cover with Rees and Bennett both injured. Ryan Jones replaces Sale Sharks back row Andy Powell, with Justin Tipuric completing the forward replacements. Media playback is not supported on this device That means there is no place in the 22 for Aaron Shingler, who made an impressive Wales debut against Scotland. Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams and Scarlets centre Scott Williams are retained to provide cover for the backs along with recalled 34-year-old Stephen Jones. Meanwhile, Gatland has said Wales are not intimidated by the task facing them against England. Wales have won only once at Twickenham in the last 20 years - a 26-19 victory during the Grand Slam season of 2008 and have never completed any of their previous 19 Triple Crowns at the ground. "There is definitely not that fear factor now," Gatland told BBC Wales' Sport Wales. "If we go there with our heads right and get some quality ball, we have got a good chance. We are not afraid of going to Twickenham now, we are excited about it. "I expect England might have the attitude that if they can get four penalties, a try and conversion and get 19 points, and they can squeeze us, that might be enough. "It is a great challenge for us going to Twickenham as favourites. This young team has got to learn to accept that and deal with those expectations, because in Wales there is nothing in between - it is all or nothing. It will not be as mild as recent days but a pleasant afternoon in store weather-wise at Twickenham. With light winds and some sunshine, a very reasonable 11 or 12 degrees is expected. Full Twickenham forecast "There is only one consequence of being built up and that is you get quickly knocked down. We have got to make sure we keep our feet on the ground. "A lot of people are talking us up which is going to add to England's motivation, and we have got to handle that. "I have generally got fond memories of Twickenham [where he began his tenure as Wales coach with victory in 2008], but talking to some Wales players who played over the past 20 years, it was a bit different when they were fully loaded with [Martin] Johnson, [Lawrence] Dallaglio, Back and all the others."

The event has been called for Sunday evening in the city's Taksim Square. Authorities banned the march for third year in a row, citing security concerns after threats from far-right groups. Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey - unlike in many Muslim nations - but analysts say homophobia remains widespread in the country. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose ruling AK Party is rooted in conservative Islam, has denied wanting to impose traditional religious values, saying he is committed to secularism. But he supports Turks' right to express their religion more openly. He has been accused of growing authoritarianism in recent years. Lara Ozlen from the Gay Pride organising committee told AFP news agency: "It is obvious that a peaceful march is part of our constitutional right". "It's been known for years. Instead of protecting us, to say 'do not march' just because some will be disturbed is undemocratic," she added. Earlier, Istanbul's governor office banned the march, following threats from far-right groups to disrupt the event. The city officials also said they had not received a formal request to hold the march - a claim denied by the organisers. Last year, riot police fired tear gas and plastic bullets after transgender rights activists gathered in Istanbul - in defiance of a ban on marching. The Culzean field is expected to produce enough gas to meet 5% of the UK's needs when it reaches peak production. It holds reserves equivalent to about a quarter of a billion barrels of oil. Maersk Oil said its plans to develop the field were boosted by tax changes announced recently by the chancellor. The company said the project is expected to support an estimated 6,000 UK jobs and create more than 400 direct jobs. The field was discovered in 2008. Gas is expected to start flowing from the development in 2019 and continue for at least 13 years with peak production of 60,000-90,000 barrels per day. Three billion pounds of investment and 400 direct-employed British jobs: a lot of buck for not so much employment bang. The Culzean field is top heavy with the money required to unlock high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) gas. The economic impact is reduced by two other factors: half of that investment spend is not to be made in Britain. Danish-owned Maersk has ordered the gas platform topsides - three of them - from Singapore. The UK gets to fabricate the jackets (the legs for the topsides), the bridges between them, the power generation module and the flare stack. Aberdeen is getting some of that work. So are firms in Hartlepool and Lowestoft. And the tax revenue will be reduced by a range of incentives. HPHT technology was already given its own tax break, even before other fiscal carrots were dangled in the March Budget. Does this suggest that the worst of the industry downturn is over? No. Culzean is a gas field, and gas has not fallen as sharply as the oil price. And having been discovered in 2008, there was a momentum towards investment which was hard to stop as the industry slammed the brakes on investment. The key decisions for Culzean equipment were made in May last year, when prices were still riding high. From 2019, Culzean will help boost output from the North Sea and it should propel Maersk into the top five UK producers. There are other such fields being readied. But they're not replacing the depleting reserves. Only last week, Maersk joined the operators planning to close down platforms. The Janice field, which began producing in the late 1990s is now down to only around 7000 barrels per day. The company has applied for regulatory permission to close down the platform, with a likely loss of 200 jobs. What happens to the cluster of fields - Janice, James and Affleck - is yet to be made clear, but it seems likely two of them will shut down. Chief executive of Maersk Oil, Jakob Thomasen, said: "Culzean is an important development for the UK and also for Maersk Oil and our co-venturers. "We are pleased the field will support UK economic growth as well as extend understanding of HPHT development. "Culzean is the latest in a series of large investments by Maersk Oil in the North Sea where we are active in Denmark, Norway and the UK - reflecting our commitment to the future of the North Sea region." Andy Samuel, chief executive of the Oil & Gas Authority, said: "Maersk Oil and partners' £3bn investment to develop the Culzean discovery is excellent news for the UK during a period when the decline in global oil prices has created difficult operating conditions for this critical sector of our economy." News of the approval was also welcomed by Chancellor George Osborne, who visited Aberdeen. He said: "Today's announcement sends a clear signal that the North Sea is open for business. Already the UK's oil and gas industry supports hundreds of thousands of jobs across the country and this £3bn investment comes on the back of massive government support for the sector." Scotland's Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "Development of the Culzean field brings welcome investment, jobs and supply chain opportunities and, as the largest new field in a decade, it also demonstrates that there remain considerable opportunities to extend production for decades to come." However, he added: "We are extremely concerned that there are a large number of fields which may be forced to stop production prematurely - when there is a great deal of oil and or gas to be extracted." Deirdre Michie, chief executive of industry body Oil and Gas UK, said "Oil and Gas UK welcomes the development approval of the largest new field discovered in the UK North Sea in more than a decade. "This investment by Maersk Oil and its co-venturers is very encouraging at this challenging time for the industry and reinforces the fact that that the UK Continental Shelf continues to have much to offer." 5 August 2016 Last updated at 08:06 BST Plus, a robot with a neural network that can move and sing by itself. More at BBC.com/Click and @BBCClick. The last 12 months have seen UK acts setting the bar for Grammy nominations and making chart history in the US (no points for guessing which boyband). For some, meeting an idol was the most memorable moment of the year while for others it was all about awards season. Here are some of the UK's biggest acts' highlights of 2014. It's an obvious one for these boys right? Glastonbury headliners at last? Well, another show was just as big a highlight in 2014 for Tom, Serge and co. "The home show in Leicester and then Glastonbury," says Serge Pizzorno. "One was just like an emotional 10-year trip to play in front of that many people where we were born and inspiring the next generation of kids from our town. "And the weekend after was closing the greatest festival in the world, there's not really anything else to say." Actually, they had a few more things to say on the matter. "I've never quite been as high as that - for two weeks I was on the ceiling of every establishment I went in to," says the guitarist. "[It was] just pure emotion," said frontman Tom Meighan. "The summer was a wonderful time, I think it was probably the best year of us as a band, we won't ever top that forever, that was our moment." Ahhhh. Sam Smith certainly has plenty to choose from; this time last year, we hardly knew who he was. In fact this time six months ago, we still weren't entirely sure - (watch this nonsense for further explaination...) So despite having a number one album and single, and breaking America, his top moment is all the fun times he's having now he's a massive pop star. "I think one of the highlights would be the MTV VMAs," he explained. "I watched that as a kid every year and being there and performing, sitting in the seat I was sat in was very, very surreal." He was sat perched in between Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, with Ariana Grande and the Kardashians nearby and they all knew who he was. "It's really odd what's happened over there [America] in such a short space of time, it's incredible. "But do you know what? I do miss the UK when I am there and I can't wait to be back when I am gone." We miss you too. Foxes is another new artist who has had a stellar year and picked up a few famous fans along the way. Her highlight was supporting Pharrell Williams on tour and meeting a couple of other huge, sorry, gargantuan stars. "Supporting Pharrell, it was scary but it was an honour," she told Newsbeat. "To be on that for 30 days was just mind-blowing. I learnt so much, made so many friends. I am sad to not be on it now." As for Pharrell? "He was lovely, he treated me and my team like family," she explained. "It was just the most amazing tour to be on. I kept having to look around and be like, 'Oh my God there's Jay Z and Beyonce and Pharrell' and they are all there." Actual Beyonce? "I talked to her for about 15 minutes about make-up and I just didn't even know what to say," said Foxes. "She asked me what mascara I use and I felt really silly because it is like Beyonce, you probably have your own mascara and so it was a moment." He performed at the O2 arena in London, virtually on his own, while six different couples got engaged. He had another number one album, hung out with the cast of Friends, Taylor Swift and everyone else in the world and announced he'd perform at Wembley Stadium. But it was meeting his idol that really stood out for Ed Sheeran. So who is this musical hero Ed? "Van Morrison," he told Newsbeat. "Growing up as a kid, he was the person I listened to starting off, so being able to chat to him for two hours, it kind of made my job feel very, very surreal. "We chatted about music and what is happening now in the digital age. "From the looks of things on the media forefront people might not think anyone likes me. "So it's nice to see people I look up to and admire say good things." This time last year, Ella Eyre was that girl, with awesome hair and incredible voice on Rudimental's Waiting All Night. Now she is an artist in her own right, with a Mobo for best newcomer under her belt and her debut album on the way in 2015. But let's not forget, she already has a Brit Award to her name as Waiting All Night was named best British single and that is her highlight of 2015. "I was one of my first and biggest award ceremonies to be a part of," she said. "It is such a highlight for it to be so early on in my career to have won a Brit Award and to be performing on the first world streamed Brit Awards. "Also releasing my solo stuff after being known as a featured artist for quite a while now, it's just nice for people to know me on my own." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube. Media playback is not supported on this device Barclay is 30 years old and to say he's been around a while doesn't quite cut it. He was in his first Scotland training squad when he was only 18, he won his first cap when he was 20, he's been around the scene with his country for 12 years, or, put it another way, 40% of his life. "That's actually a bit scary," he says, overlooking Scotland's indoor training pitch at Oriam in Edinburgh. Then he recalls a line that somebody hit him with recently, a theory about Barclay playing through three generations of the Scotland team. It's a bit of an exaggeration - and no doubt was intended as a wind-up - but the truth is that Gordon Bulloch - who won his last cap in 2005 - was leading the team when Barclay first emerged as a teenager, then it was Scott Murray who was captain for his debut in 2007 - Murray's last season as a Test player - and, after that, Jason White, who hung 'em up in 2009. "I do feel like I've been around a long time. It's all I've ever done, it's all I've ever known since school." Saturday against Ireland will be Barclay's 50th start for Scotland and his 56th cap in all. He's not going to ape the line about this being Scotland's best squad since 1999, a thought which is in vogue right now. He says he doesn't care about that stuff. He's heard it before and it hasn't come off. "A lot of people say Scotland could be dark horses and, for me, it's quite embarrassing afterwards if you have said that and you don't win lots of games." So he won't say it. He'll talk about the class in the side, the game-breakers, the confidence he has in them putting their best foot forward, but this comparison with 1999? "The 1999 team only became the 1999 team when they won the championship. You get respect only when you win." Media playback is not supported on this device 'Schmidt teams are organised - they won't miss Sexton' Ireland's Johnny Sexton has been ruled out of Saturday's Six Nations opener at Murrayfield. It's a big deal, a very big deal. Sexton is world class. Paddy Jackson, his replacement, is a fine player who played fly-half when 14-man Ireland beat South Africa in Cape Town in the summer. But for all his qualities, Jackson doesn't possess Sexton's presence and influence. Sexton has played in four of the past five Six Nations meetings between the sides. That's four wins (and 15 tries) when he was in the Ireland team and one loss (and one try) when he was injured and Jackson was in place. Barclay is unmoved by all of this. He treats this news of a wounding blow to Ireland's chances with something approaching disinterest. He has years of experience of this stuff. False hope, false dawn, crashing fall. "Teams under Joe Schmidt are very organised. The guys coming in tend to know exactly what they're doing. You've got a guy there [Jackson] who played very well in the summer and who plays very well for Ulster. I don't think it will make too much difference." There's no wide-eyed innocence here. Barclay has been through the mill. A precocious youth who found everything easy in the beginning only to hit a wall in the autumn of 2012. In the next three years he won four caps, none of them in the Six Nations. He watched from a distance the championships of 2013, 2014 and 2015. Word came through from Llanelli about his coruscating form and his leadership. There was mystification that Scotland could keep losing Tests and yet still ignore a guy who was pulling up trees for the Scarlets. He got himself back in the frame ahead of the last World Cup only to fall out of it again. Five back rows were taken and he wasn't one of them. A sixth was required mid-tournament. He didn't get the nod then either. Missing the tournament was the biggest shoeing he ever got. Having missed so much does it mean more now? "When I was living in Scotland, I didn't take it [his Scotland place] for granted per se, but I felt like I was always in that bubble. Having had a couple of years of not being involved I feel like it's added to my career, mentally. I know it's not going to go on for ever, but you definitely want to make it last as long as you can." Since the return there's been the high of the victory over France in last year's Six Nations and the low of letting victory slip against the Wallabies in the autumn. Barclay was immense that day. The overall record doesn't make a pretty picture, though. In his Scotland years he has won 43% of his games. In the Six Nations it's five wins from 26. "I'm pretty embarrassed by that. It doesn't feel like that because we've toured well in the summer [a series win in Argentina and a victory against the Wallabies in Australia] or gone well over the autumn. It's disappointing. "Part of the reason why it was really enjoyable to come back into the team is because I think we can really go somewhere and I'd love to be part of it. There's some genuine talent around, some guys who are playing out of their skin, some guys who have been hunted by big teams and that's not always been the case. "There's some backs about it, isn't there? That back three [Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour and Sean Maitland] could mix it with anyone. There's a lot of options in the centre. Finn Russell has been tearing it up for Glasgow and Greig Laidlaw is steering the ship. There's a lot of promise. It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen, but it's exciting. "Outside of our group do people 100% expect us to do well? I don't know. People say nice things. Vern doesn't really care about that. You don't get anything for that, do you?" It's hard to over-estimate what the Scarlets mean to Barclay. By the time his contract is up he'll have been there for five years. He might even stay a while longer. The club looked after him when he needed looking after. They invested in him. The supporters backed him to the hilt in his wilderness years in Scotland. He's settled and happy with his wife and their two young boys. "There's a lot of good young players there and if they can keep hold of them they could be a very good team again. It feels like home. My eldest goes to Welsh pre-school. He loves it. Everything is in Welsh. "He comes home and says something and I record it and I send it to [Scarlets centre] Scott Williams or [hooker] Ken Owens and they say, 'Oh, he said this...' I've no idea. Or I'll bring him into the club sometimes and Scott will say something to him in Welsh and he'll say something back. It's bizarre. It's really strange." Going into the Six Nations last year the lack of championship victories in the Scotland squad was stark to the point of being gobsmacking. Russell, Mark Bennett and Jonny Gray had never won a Six Nations match and Seymour had won just one. Laidlaw and Barclay had won a meagre 15% of their championship matches, Hogg had won 16%, Ross Ford 18%, Alasdair Dickinson 20%. Richie Gray had the best percentage - 23% - with five wins from 22 Tests. Add in John Hardie and WP Nel, who hadn't yet played Six Nations rugby, and they were a side that were strangers to winning. The numbers are a little better now by dint of the victories over France and Italy. There's also the benefits of bitter experience. "We did a bit of analysis of it [the 35-25 loss to Ireland in Dublin last year]. We didn't front up. We weren't physical. We pretty much got steamrollered the first 30 minutes. You know what's coming and you've got to be physical. "That's one of Vern's big things - he doesn't want soft rugby, he won't stand for it. I'd be very surprised and disappointed if we were bullied. The first 30 minutes of the game last year we probably were. Look at the collisions. It's not a nice word to say about yourself - you can put any word you want on it - but, physically, we got outmuscled in the first 30." He is laid-back and softly spoken, intelligent and warm, but Barclay is constantly striving to be the warrior his team desperately needs him to be. Just five days after their Ulster final win over Derry, Donegal lacked the energy of the Dubs who killed the game off with a late Sean McMahon goal. The seven-point success at Breffni Park puts the Leinster title holders into their first final since 2014, when they won the last of their four titles. Dublin play the winners of the other semi-final between Kerry and Galway. The Dubs started strongly with Con O'Callaghan, Tom Fox, Glen O'Reilly and Aaron Byrne shooting them into a four-point lead inside the opening quarter. The Ulster champions' attempts to punish on the counter-attack were repeatedly thwarted by a well-organised defence, and it wasn't until the 24th minute that they registered their first score, a Michael Langan free. O'Reilly's second score was cancelled out by Michael Carroll, and at the break, Donegal trailed by 0-5 to 0-2. Dublin led by 0-5 to 0-2 at the break, but the Ulster champions adopted a more attacking approach and were rewarded with two points in the opening three minutes of the second half, Jason McGee and sub Niall O'Donnell trimming the deficit to a single point. Aaron Byrne's well-taken scores made it 0-8 to 0-4, with 40 minutes on the clock. Byrne won the free which he converted himself to further stretch the advantage, and Donegal went a quarter of an hour without a score, before Langan landed a free. Corner-back Darren Byrne got in on the scoring act as the Dubs turned the screw, and they put the outcome virtually beyond doubt when Sean McMahon pushed forward to take Cian Murphy's pass and rifle a shot into the roof of the net on 50 minutes. Dublin: E Comerford; D Byrne (0-1), C O'Shea, E Murchan; B Howard, S McMahon (1-0), C Murphy (0-2); A Foley, T Fox (0-1); G O'Reilly (0-2), A Byrne (0-4, 2f); C Basquel, D O'Brien, C O'Callaghan (0-1, f), D Gavin. Subs: C Sallier (0-1) for O'Callaghan (3 BC), A Elliot for Foley (21), D Spillane for Fox (36), A McGowan (0-1) for O'Reilly (47), S Smith for Sallier (56), S Clayton for Basquel (59) Donegal: D Rodgers; C Morrison, S McMenamin, B McCole; C Mulligan, D Ó Baoill, E Bán Gallagher; T McClenaghan, J McGee (0-1); M Carroll (0-1), S McBrearty (0-1), M Coyle; L Connor, M Langan (0-3, 2f), J Brennan. Subs: C Doherty for Coyle (14), N O'Donnell (0-2) for McBrearty (23), E O'Donnell (0-1) for Connors (37), R Carr for Mulligan (42), C McGonagle for McCleneghan (49), McBrearty for O Baoill (54) Referee: J Bermingham (Cork). Bunney gave the visitors the lead when he headed Joe Rafferty's cross beyond City keeper Ben Williams. Tony McMahon crossed for Rory McArdle to stab in Bradford's equaliser, but Bunney restored Rochdale's lead with a shot from just outside the area. Steven Davies headed in McMahon's corner to level the scores, while Grant Holt hit the post for the Dale late on. Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester: Media playback is not supported on this device "I thought the performance was good, it was more like the way we play. "It gives me a lot of belief looking at the last 15 games because we were excellent today. "We scored two really good goals and for the majority of the game we defended exceptionally well. "We created opportunities, so from the performance perspective, I'm really pleased, but I'm disappointed with the result." Jaber al-Bakr, who arrived in Germany as a refugee, was detained in a flat in the eastern city of Leipzig early on Monday. He had been tied up there. He had sought help from another Syrian, who alerted police after letting Mr al-Bakr sleep at his flat, reports say. The hunt began after police found very volatile explosives at Mr al-Bakr's flat in Chemnitz, south of Leipzig. In the initial raid in Chemnitz early on Saturday, Mr al-Bakr, 22, evaded capture as officers fired a warning shot in a botched attempt to stop him. "The methods and behaviour of the suspect suggest an IS context," said Saxony State Police chief Joerg Michaelis. He said the suspect had researched bomb-making on the internet. "It is reasonable to assume that an explosives belt was nearly ready, or had been prepared already," he said. Police found a detonator, explosives and a kilo of chemicals in the Chemnitz flat. Mr Michaelis said the substance appeared to be TATP, a homemade explosive used in the deadly jihadist attacks in Paris last year and Brussels in March. How Germany caught elusive 'bomb-maker' Security sources referred to Mr al-Bakr's apartment as a "a virtual bomb-making lab", and carried out a controlled explosion. German authorities feared a possible plan to target an airport in Berlin. As the search for the suspect broadened, a police commando unit arrested another man in Chemnitz, blasting open the door of his home. However, it was not until late on Sunday night that police were given a tip-off from another Syrian man living in Leipzig who had been contacted by Jaber al-Bakr from the city's main station. At 00:42 on Monday morning, police burst into the flat in the Paunsdorf area of the city and found the suspect already tied up, Germany's Spiegel website reported. Jaber Al-Bakr came to Germany in February 2015 and was granted asylum in November, German media say. He reportedly had links to the so-called Islamic State group. He is expected to be moved to the city of Karlsruhe later on Monday. Over a million irregular migrants arrived in Germany last year, many fleeing the conflict in Syria. The BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin says the latest incident will put pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel to reassure a nervous German public that her decision to allow such large numbers into the country has not endangered the country. A spokesperson for the German interior ministry said on Sunday: "We can't rule out in Germany such attacks that we've seen lately in France and Belgium." The Bavarian CSU, allied to Mrs Merkel's ruling centre-right Christian Democrats, called on Monday for stricter security reviews for asylum seekers. The party called on the government to focus "even more intensively" in scrutinising migrants for potential extremists. The 26-year-old made 35 appearances in the top flight for Angers last term, having previously played for Le Havre, Clermont and Olympique de Valence. "I hope to play many matches and help the club to the Premier League as soon as possible," he told the club website. The Championship club have added 10 new first-team players this summer.

Police said there were concerns for the 41-year-old's well-being. She is described as Asian, about 5ft 6in tall with a slim build and brown hair. She speaks with a north west English accent and sometimes wears glasses. Police Scotland said her black 4x4 vehicle was found parked in John O' Groats. The record, which recently passed the million sales mark in both the UK and the US, last topped the charts in September and, before that, in June. It has now spent five non-consecutive weeks at number one. In the singles chart, Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk claimed the top slot for a fourth week, while dance act Tchami had the highest new entry. The French producer saw his sparse, soulful club track, Promesses, arrive at number seven. James Bay, who was declared the runner-up in the BBC's Sound Of 2015 last week, also scored a new entry with the ballad Hold Back The River. The musician, from Hitchin, climbed from 80 to 36, the Official Chart Company said. US teen band Echosmith also made their Top 40 debut after their uplifting pop anthem Cool Kids rose to 39 from last week's number 60. But it was bad news for former X Factor judge Tulisa, whose comeback song Living Without You failed to breach the Top 40. The single had a strong start to the week, ranking 23rd in the midweek sales update, but dropped out of the countdown by the time the final figures were counted on Sunday. Similarly, the album chart saw no new entries in the quiet post-Christmas period. However, Australian pop singer Sia - who has written hits for the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna - saw her album 1000 Forms Of Fear leap from 72 to 15. The sales boost came in the week she unveiled a controversial new video, which sees actor Shia LeBeouf dancing, shirtless, alongside a 12-year-old girl. Some commentators claimed the video, for the single Elastic Heart, "smacked of child molestation", and accused the singer of promoting paedophilia. Writing on Twitter, Sia said she was sorry to anyone who felt "triggered" by the clip, in which the dancers were supposed to represent the two warring sides of her psyche. "My intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody," she added.

Mr Hunt spoke at a memorial service for William Mead, from Cornwall. William, from Penryn, died in 2014, after an NHS 111 call did not lead to him being admitted to hospital. Speaking at the private service in Truro, Mr Hunt said: "I as health secretary, the government, and the NHS let down William." He also accepted he had let down William's parents Paul and Melissa, who had organised the service at Truro Cathedral as a "thank you" to the local community for their support after their son's death. William's death raised doubts about how able NHS 111 staff were to identify serious medical conditions. Addressing the congregation, Mr Hunt said: "I've come here to say sorry. "This weekend William should have been enjoying beautiful Cornish sunshine with his parents. "We didn't spot his sepsis before it was too late." An inquest heard William's death could have been avoided if he had been admitted to hospital. His death also raised fresh concerns the condition was not being spotted or treated early enough. Mrs Mead, who was involved in creating an awareness campaign for the condition said: "There has been so many people involved in the campaign and they've been pivotal. "Without the government support, without the support of all the organisations we wouldn't be here where we are today and have made the changes we've made".

A boy who died aged one after NHS staff failed to identify he had septicaemia was "let down", Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt admitted.

The Finn met chairman Stephen Thompson on Tuesday following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership. United will now begin the search for a new head coach, with Raith Rovers boss Ray McKinnon an early favourite. "I would like to thank the players, staff and supporters," Paatelainen said after his departure was confirmed. "It has been a difficult winter and the challenge was huge but nevertheless I have enjoyed every day working for the club and with this group of players". Former Finland boss Paatelainen, whose contract ran until the summer of 2018, replaced Jackie McNamara in mid-October with United bottom of the table after just one win in their first 10 Premiership games. But he was unable to inspire an upturn in fortunes, overseeing just five wins in 25 Premiership matches before Monday's 2-1 defeat at city rivals Dundee sealed their relegation fate. United chairman Thompson apologised "unreservedly" to fans on Tuesday, promising "radical changes" in the "near future" to try to ensure a swift return to the top flight. United's next match is at Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Friday. The Tannadice outfit have placed Rovers boss McKinnon at the top of their wanted list to replace Paatelainen. But the Championship club have made it clear they will not welcome an approach for the former Terrors midfielder, at least while the club is involved in the Premiership play-offs. Raith face Hibernian in the first leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday. "We have not had any contact from Dundee United or any other club regarding Ray McKinnon," director Eric Drysdale told BBC Scotland "And should any be forthcoming it would be extremely unwelcome. Ray and the team are fully concentrated on the play-off matches against Hibernian and nothing will distract them from this." Media playback is not supported on this device Holyrood's environment committee said it was "deeply disappointed" with the national marine plan - which has taken five years to formulate. It aims to balance the oil and gas and renewable energy industries with the need to protect the environment. Ministers said they would respond to the concerns "in due course". The draft marine plan, published at the end of 2014, covers Scotland's sea areas out to 200 nautical miles and aims to protect and boost areas such as the energy industry, tourism and transport, while meeting the needs of the environment. 'Vague aspiration' But the cross-party environment committee's convener, SNP MSP Rob Gibson, said it was lacking in clarity. "The committee is deeply disappointed that a government plan five years in the making is simply not yet fit for purpose," he said. "Multiple uses are made of our marine environment, and increasingly these are coming into conflict, but the Scottish government's draft national marine plan does not provide a clear and concise set of policies that can be consistently applied by decision-makers and those using the marine environment. "There is a danger the plan in its present form will create conflict by having highly prescriptive actions in some areas, while setting out vague aspirations in others. "Simply put, instead of making the marine environment easier, it risks making it more difficult." Calum Duncan, convenor of Scottish Environment Link's marine taskforce, said: "Scotland's environment community have followed the development of the National Marine Plan closely. "It is a chance not just to ensure developments at sea are well co-ordinated and sustainable, but also to enhance the diminished health of our seas, which is the legal duty of Scottish ministers. "A good place to start is putting in place proper fisheries management in our marine protected areas (MPAs), but current plans allow scallop dredging and bottom trawling to continue across large areas of some MPAs." A Scottish government spokesman said its marine plan had won "widespread support" during its consultation phase, adding: "The plan provides clarity to developers and decision makers ensuring the protection of our precious marine environment." The spokesman said: "The Scottish government notes the committee's report and will respond in due course." The Korean Fair Trade Association said the firm had engaged in unfair business practices with its patent licensing and modem chip sales. It also said Qualcomm had abused its dominant position in the chip market. The California-based firm rejected the ruling and said it would appeal in court. According to the regulator, Qualcomm limited or refused access to vital wireless technology patents for rivals in Korea, hindering sales at companies such as Samsung. It also forced mobile phone makers into unfair agreements, the association said. This involved requiring handset-makers to purchase comprehensive wireless technology licences, even when they did not need or use them. KFTC secretary-general Shin Young-son said: "We investigated and decided on these actions because Qualcomm's actions limit overall competition." The regulator also ordered Qualcomm to renegotiate deals with its partners if requested. The company said it would appeal in Seoul's high court and disputed the scale of the fine, the largest handed down by the regulator. Qualcomm has faced scrutiny over its business practices in other countries. Last year it agreed to pay a $975m fine in China following an antitrust probe, while the European Union has accused it of anticompetitive behaviour. Regulators in the US and Taiwan are also investigating the company. MPs backed the renewal of the UK's nuclear weapons system, voting 472 to 117 in favour in Parliament. The SNP's 54 members opposed renewal, as did Labour's Ian Murray, Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael and independent MPs Michelle Thomson and Natalie McGarry. But Conservative MP David Mundell backed the renewal proposals. The vote, which was held late on Monday evening, means the UK government will press ahead with the manufacture of the next generation of nuclear submarines, which are based at Faslane on the Clyde. In a statement to parliament, Prime Minister Theresa May said it would be a "gross irresponsibility" for the UK to abandon its nuclear weapons. She added that the nuclear threat had not gone away, and "if anything, it has increased". Asked by SNP MP Ian Blackford what message she was sending to the people of Scotland, Mrs May said: "Fifty-eight of the 59 Scottish MPS will be voting against jobs in Scotland which are supported by the nuclear deterrent." Earlier Brendan O'Hara, the SNP's defence spokesman said "there was absolutely no evidence" the threat of nuclear attack had increased. He told BBC Scotland programme: "It would also suggest that 190-odd countries that don't have nuclear weapons somehow can't sleep safely in the beds at night. "It's nonsense - it's another extension of project fear. It's to whip up fear and to make a nation or a people feel insecure in order to secure you're own political ends." Since 1969, according to government documents, a British submarine carrying nuclear weapons has always been on patrol, gliding silently beneath the waves, somewhere in the world's oceans. The logic is to deter a nuclear attack on the UK because, even if the nation's conventional defence capabilities were destroyed, the silent submarine would still be able to launch a catastrophic retaliatory strike on the aggressor, a concept known as mutually assured destruction. The submarines, based at Faslane on the River Clyde, carry up to eight Trident missiles; each can be fitted with a number of warheads. Read more about the history of the UK's nuclear weapons system He said Trident was a "political weapon" designed to keep the UK on the "top tier of the world stage". The country's economy cannot afford both nuclear weapons and conventional defences, he added. "Either you bolster your conventional defences or you are a nuclear state," he said. "In which case, very quickly, your last line of defence becomes your first line of defence." The Labour party is split on the issue of Trident, with its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, opposed to renewal. Ian Murray, the former shadow Scotland secretary, said the split reflected similar attitudes in opinion across the country, and he welcomed Labour MPs being given a free vote on the issue. He said he would be voting against renewal as "all nuclear weapons are immoral". He said the risk of Scottish jobs being lost if Trident was scrapped was "something that has to be resolved". But he added: "I don't think that should be the driving force in determining whether or not we renew the Trident weapons system. I think this has to be an issue of conscience." Meanwhile, Mr Carmichael said he believed the UK should reduce its number of nuclear-armed submarines rather than scrapping them altogether. But he said the vote was a yes or no decision, and he was unable to support the proposals put forward by the UK government. Mr Carmichael said the requirement for the UK to have at least one Trident submarine at sea at all times was "out-dated", and that the UK should join together with other Nato countries to provide a nuclear defence. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the replacement of the four nuclear-armed submarines - at an estimated cost of £31bn - would help to protect the country from nuclear attack for 30 years. "We can't choose the threats that are out there nor can we predict exactly what they might be in the 2030s, 2040s, or 2050s," he said. "We have to prepare to deal with terrorism, with conventional threats by strengthening our armed forces and we have to be sure we can respond and deter any nuclear attack as well." He added: "We will continue to work for multilateral disarmament but meantime it is too dangerous a world to take the gamble of not modernising our own deterrent." Gary Smith, Scotland secretary for the GMB union, said politicians should consider the jobs that are tied into the renewal of Trident. He said: "Tens of thousands of jobs across the UK are dependent on Trident renewal and with that the building of the four submarines that's been promised. "And the issue really is whether those submarines will be built in the UK or whether they will manufactured and built in America. "And that's what politicians in Scotland should be focusing on here today - jobs and working class communities." Stephanie Meakin, from Crewe, lied about her mobility for 11 years - during which time she was also seen wading into the sea for baptisms and jogging to a bank. Recorder Mary Loram, at Liverpool Crown Court, said she was a "thoroughly dishonest woman". Meakin was sentenced to 15 months, suspended for a year. More updates on this and other stories in Staffordshire The court heard she legitimately began receiving Disability Living Allowance at the highest rate in 1995 due to severe back trouble, which had significantly improved by 2001. She denied dishonestly failing to notify a change in circumstances. The 51-year-old, of Springwell Close, was seen wearing high heels, walking up a steep hill and exercising her Rottweiler. She also went on a church mission to South Africa, during which she had a "luxury" visit to the Kruger National Park, and twice flew to see relatives in her homeland of the Philippines, jurors heard. "The evidence was overwhelming, but you persisted in the lie to the jury that throughout you were in crippling pain," Ms Loram told her. The court heard she was deeply religious and established the Church of Abundant Life in Crewe after moving to the UK to marry her husband. When department of work and pensions investigators raided her home, they uncovered a life insurance application form on which she stated that, apart from high blood pressure, she had no on-going health problems and exercised several times a weeks. Defending, Andrew Higginson said Meakin's daughter had since disowned her but her sons were standing by her. He said Meakin suffers from "widespread pain syndrome", depression, has mild to moderate disability and now lives with one of her sons. Sheku Ahmed Tejan Bayoh died after he was held by officers in Kirkcaldy in the early hours of Sunday. Police Scotland previously confirmed a female police officer was injured during the same incident but gave no further details. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner has launched an investigation into the matter. A PIRC spokeswoman said: "The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) has directed the Police Investigations & Review Commissioner (PIRC) to carry out an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of 31-year-old Sheku Ahmed Tejan Bayoh in Kirkcaldy on Sunday 3 May who had been detained by police shortly before his death. "A report on the PIRC's findings will be submitted to the COPFS in due course. "As this is a live investigation it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time." An appeal has been issued by the PIRC for witnesses who were in Hayfield Rd, near Hendry Road, Kirkcaldy between 07:00 and 08:00 on Sunday. The PIRC is keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed any incident in this area. Fife Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Garry McEwan said earlier: "This is a tragic set of circumstances and my condolences go to the man's family. "The investigation of deaths in Scotland is the responsibility of Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, who have instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to lead on this inquiry." Since the referendum vote there have been concerns that banks would reduce their staff and offices in the country. In a statement the banks and Chancellor George Osborne said they would work to ensure London "retains its position". However, they did not say whether this meant that they would keep the same number of jobs and offices in the UK. Ahead of the UK's referendum on the EU, Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan, said the bank could move 4,000 jobs out of the UK if the country voted to leave the EU. The banks signing the statement included JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, as well as the UK's Standard Chartered, which makes most of its profit in Asia. "Today we met and agreed that we would work together to build on all this with a common aim to help London retain its position as the leading international financial centre," the statement said. According to Aaron Klein, a fellow at Brookings Institute these statements are meant to "instil confidence during periods of market turmoil." "Yes, London will remain a financial services hub, as it has been one for a long time. But the size and scope of that hub could be very different depending on how things shake out with Brexit," he said. Other EU countries have shown signs of trying to attract these jobs to their cities since the vote. On Wednesday, France announced it would put in place Europe's most favourable tax code for expats. The banks and Chancellor Osborne acknowledged that London's role may have to change, but pledged to keep the city an attractive place to do business. "We will also work together to identify the new opportunities that may now become available so that Britain remains one of the most attractive places in the world to do business," the statement read. It brings the total number of newborns infected to 18, many of them were premature babies. One of them has died. The babies were being cared for in neonatal intensive care units in nine different hospitals and are said to be responding to antibiotic treatment. Of the three new cases, two are said to be likely with one confirmed, Public Health England said. All started displaying symptoms between Thursday and Saturday last week, but have only now been reported to Public Health England. Hospitals were alerted to the problem on Wednesday. The contaminated batches have since been withdrawn, although as they expired on Monday none should have been used since then. A total of 162 units of the feed were sent out from the contaminated batches to more than 20 hospitals. It is possible other cases will emerge as tests are carried out. The liquid feed is given direct into the bloodstream of babies as they cannot be mouth fed. It means symptoms start developing quickly. Public Health England and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) are investigating the outbreaks. The manufacturer of the feed, ITH Pharma, has said it was "saddened" by what has happened and was cooperating fully with the investigation. The cases have been reported at: The baby who died was being treated at Guy's and St Thomas'. The baby died on Sunday after being diagnosed the previous day. The investigation is focussing on the production of the batches on Tuesday 27 May. Speaking outside the company's north west London base, ITH Pharma managing director Karen Hamling said: "From investigations carried out so far, it would appear the potential contamination is linked to a single sourced raw material ingredient. "As a mother, as a pharmacist , as someone who has worked for 30 years in healthcare, inside and outside the NHS, I am deeply saddened that one baby has died and others have fallen ill from septicaemia."

Bottom-of-the-table London Irish have not won away from home in the Premiership since 28 February 2015. The Exiles welcome back Scotland duo Sean Maitland and Blair Cowan as the only changes from the defeat by Exeter. Leicester have lost their last three games in the Premiership, but have not lost four in succession since the 2003-04 season. Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester: "We are going to make the right choices at the right times and be more accurate. There is nothing wrong with how we are playing, it's how we are executing. "There is a bit of learning in that, but we have to learn very quickly. It is not acceptable that we keep making those errors three weeks on the trot. "We have to take our physicality to another level - and we did that at the weekend - but that should be a given. We need to be smarter and make better choices. We have done that in lots of games. Three poor results does not mean we are a poor team. "Sunday is a huge game and we have to win. It is now time to show some character." London Irish assistant coach Clark Laidlaw told BBC Radio Berkshire: "We're certainly having a real good look at preparation in terms of an away game. "We've talked a lot around how tactically we approach the game against Leicester. Getting the balance between kicking and gaining territory, as well as our attacking game. "It's been a long time between drinks (winning) away from home, but we're certainly working on getting our preparation and our tactics right. "The mentality has to be right away from home as Welford Road is a tough place to go."

Cruz was bidding to become the first openly gay boxer to win a world title. But the Puerto Rican carried no real threat and showed little ambition, allowing Flanagan to control proceedings from start to finish. On the undercard, Welsh light-middleweight prospect Liam Williams stopped game Hungarian Gabor Gorbics. Williams, 24, was supposed to have defended his British title against Ahmet Patterson, but the Londoner was attacked while on a training run and had to withdraw. Despite being a late replacement, the unheralded Gorbics was tough and willing but Williams' constant pressure began to take its toll in the middle rounds. In round eight, Williams dropped his opponent with a lethal left hook to the body and despite Gorbics hauling himself off the canvas, the referee waved the fight off. In 2012, Cruz became the first professional boxer to come out as being gay while still competing. The following year, he challenged Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight title but was stopped in the seventh round. After a quiet first three rounds, Flanagan found his range in the fourth, during which the challenger already looked resigned to his fate. Before the start of the sixth, Flanagan's corner pointed out to referee Steve Gray that Cruz was not throwing any punches back. Cruz was slightly more willing in the seventh but was dropped by a right hand in the eighth before Gray called a halt to proceedings. "Once I hurt him, he didn't want to know," said the 27-year-old Flanagan. "I think I'll have Christmas off and spend it with my family, because I've just finished a 15-year camp!" Flanagan was making the fourth defence of the belt he won last July and is now unbeaten in 32 pro fights. Flanagan would like to fight the winner of a proposed rematch between fellow Mancunian Anthony Crolla and Jorge Linares. Venezuelan Linares beat Crolla last September to secure the WBA lightweight title. However, Flanagan's next fight is more likely to be a mandatory defence against unbeaten Puerto Rican Felix Verdejo. Promoter Frank Warren said he had offered a fight to former Olympic champion Luke Campbell, who is guided by rival promoter Eddie Hearn. "They didn't reply, which tells you how much they want it," added Warren. Warren also said that Williams was ready to challenge for a world title, despite having only had 17 professional fights. Warren also promotes Liverpool's Liam Smith, who lost when challenging for Saul Alvarez's WBO light-middleweight title in September. But with Alvarez expected to move up in weight, Williams and Smith could possibly fight for the vacant belt in 2017. Also on the bill at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield super-bantamweight Kid Galahad won his third fight since returning from a drugs ban, stopping Nicaraguan journeyman Reynaldo Mora in three rounds. Former Olympian Tom Stalker was outpointed by Welshman Craig Evans, the first two fights between the pair having ended in draws. Birmingham's Tommy Langford beat Sheffield's Sam Sheedy via a split decision to secure the vacant British middleweight title. Ryan McAnespie and Daniel McKenna replace Vinny Corey and Kieran Hughes, who struggled to make an impact in last weekend's Clones defeat by Kerry. Even a win may not be enough to prevent Monaghan from being relegated. Donegal are not themselves safe in Division One but a win is likely to earn them a semi-final place. After two opening wins, Monaghan have lost their last four games to slide deep into relegation trouble while early Division One pacesetters Donegal go into the match on the back of three straight defeats. If Mayo, as expected, hand Down a seventh straight defeat at Castlebar and Cork avoid defeat against Kerry at Tralee, Monaghan will be relegated even if they beat Donegal. Matters are just as tight in Division Two with Cavan needing to avoid defeat by Galway at Breffni Park to secure promotion alongside Tyrone. Fermanagh need to beat the Red Hands at Enniskillen to be absolutely certain of avoiding the drop while Armagh may need a big win over Derry at the Athletic Grounds to retain their Division Two spot with bottom-placed Laois facing Meath in another big relegation clash at Portlaoise. Armagh will go down along with Meath if they both lose against Derry and Laois but a Fermanagh defeat plus wins for Armagh and Meath will see the Ernemen and Laois dropping to Division Three. Derry are not mathematically safe but anything other than a heavy defeat at the Athletic Grounds should be enough to keep Damian Barton's side in Division Two. Barton makes two change in personnel from the draw with Meath with Emmet Bradley and Niall Loughlin replacing Shane Heavron and Emmet McGuckin. A positional switch sees Mark Lynch moving from midfield to full-forward. Fermanagh showed tremendous battling qualities to earn a draw in Galway last weekend, in a result which did no favours to Armagh's chances of avoiding the drop. Niall Cassidy is suspended for Fermanagh after his dismissal against Galway so Marty O'Brien is drafted into the full-back. Pete McGrath has opted to make three other changes with the McCusker brothers Declan and Paul and Daniel Teague drafted in and Ryan McCluskey, Aidan Breen and Ruairi Corrigan making way. Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has kept faith with the side which earned a battling draw against Tyrone last week after hitting an injury-time goal. Defender Ronan McNamee is in the Tyrone team for Sunday's Division Two clash with Fermanagh after recovering from an ankle injury. The full-back replaces Padraig Hampsey in one of four changes made by manager Mickey Harte from the side that started against Armagh last weekend. Mickey O'Neill replaces Niall Morgan as Harte continues rotating his keepers. Barry Tierney is preferred at wing-back to Niall Sludden while Padraig McNulty is in for the injured Peter Harte. Harte has been ruled out by the shoulder injury which forced him out after just five minutes of the drawn clash with the Orchard men at Healy Park. The Red Hands have already secured promotion and a place in the league final, but they will be looking to extend an 11-game unbeaten run. Already-promoted sides Antrim and Louth meet at Corrigan Park in a dress-rehearsal for the Division Four final which will take place on Saturday, 23 April.

His lyrics had a profound effect on many people's lives - from meeting him on a beach on a Greek island, to bursting into tears in his presence. Here are some of your memories: Nick Garrie is a singer-songwriter who opened for Leonard Cohen in Spain in 1985. "He was a mentor and completely changed the way I sang. He told me I needed to listen to the audience. It's uncanny that I wrote about him only recently on my Facebook page. "He was wearing the black suit even then and was unfailingly polite and solicitous. He saw our little changing room and was horrified and moved us to his enormous dressing room. "After the show, which he said was his best ever, he asked me how I got to be number one in Spain. I said I didn't know and he said he didn't either. His albums just washed up on different seashores in Europe. "He came to the Spanish guitarist with some champagne. When I told him he didn't drink, he replied 'He does now' and poured it down his throat! "It's funny to think that the man with the golden voice taught me how to sing and listen to an audience." Denise Hayes in Stourport-on-Severn met Leonard on holiday on the Greek island Hydra. "It was the early 70s. He would sunbathe on rocks close to where I was with my friends. He'd quietly arrive with his towel, a book and sometimes a beautiful woman or two. "I was only in my early 20s and wasn't aware of how famous he was. As a joke, my older friends sent me to talk to him and ask him what he did for a living. "He took my interruption with good grace and - with a wry smile and a twinkle in his eye - said in his very distinctive languorous and low voice: 'Oh, I write a little, I sing a little'." Singer Leonard Cohen dies aged 82 Obituary: Leonard Cohen Stars pay tribute to Leonard Cohen Cohen's life in pictures Six of the best Leonard Cohen covers Video: Remembering Leonard Cohen Jordan Peers was 21 years old when he met Leonard Cohen in a Leeds supermarket four years ago. "I spoke to him and he was incredibly polite and humble. I'd like to say I said something deeply profound and meaningful to him but instead I cried and mumbled how much I loved his work. "He shook my hand gave me an autograph to give to my mother. I saw him play live the next day and he was incredible." Al MacDonald, in Largs, Scotland, who was an art student, took a photo of the singer when he was invited into his dressing room after his concert in Glasgow in 1970. "There was virtually no security back then. He was busy with his band and backing singers smoking and drinking. Leonard saw me, came over and introduced himself. "He wanted to know about me. I was in awe. It was like meeting God. I still remember his quiet charisma and gentle vibe. It was spiritual. "He was an incredible wordsmith. He put a lot of complex emotions in simple phrases. The man is a legend who touched many lives." Paul Baker, from Stenning in West Sussex, works for a company that arranges world tours and met Leonard when he was touring in Denmark. "I'm really sad to hear the news. I joined him for three sections of his world tour in 2012. You could not wish to meet a kinder, gentler and funnier man. "He invited me on board his tour bus and I chatted with him and the band, who all made me very welcome, on the way to the hotel in Denmark. "He had time for everyone, the fans waiting outside the hotel and the people at the airport. He was kind and polite beyond belief. He did not do 'celebrity'. A true gentleman in every way." Andrew Gryn attended an auction at Joe Morena's St-Viateur Bagel Shop in Montreal where Leonard Cohen was signing everything anyone requested. "The money raised was going to the Montreal Children's hospital Foundation. My collection of Leonard Cohen CDs was autographed and donated. I kept the vinyl. "As Joe and I said goodbye, Leonard got up and said 'Let me hold the door for you'. It might have been a normal act of a gentleman, but to the two of us it felt very spiritual and mystical. "May your body rest and your spirit fill the hearts of mankind. May you hold the door open for many a soul." Compiled by Sherie Ryder, UGC and Social News team The ex-UK prime minister told the BBC Syria had "virtually disintegrated" but there would have to be a political settlement there, involving Russia and other allies of the Assad regime. But the West must be able to negotiate from a "position of strength". David Cameron has urged more help for the "legitimate opposition" in Syria. It comes as the Russian defence ministry said it flew 20 air sorties in Syria on Tuesday, striking 12 targets of the so-called Islamic State. A US-led coalition has been conducting air strikes against IS in Syria and Iraq since September last year, which rights groups say have also caused civilian deaths. Syria's conflict between President Bashar al-Assad and various rebel groups began in 2011. It has left more than 250,000 dead and about half the country's population displaced. Speaking in New York after making a speech at the 9/11 museum about jihadist ideology, Mr Blair said it was "not acceptable that they (Russia) attack parts of the opposition that we see as acceptable, and who represent a majority of people in Syria" - an accusation strongly denied by Moscow. Where key countries stand: Who is backing whom Why? What? How? Five things you need to know about Russia's involvement What can Russia's air force do? The US-led coalition has failed to destroy IS. Can Russia do any better? Russian actions in Syria, Mr Blair argued, should be seen as an attempt to secure "leverage" ahead of negotiations about the future of the country and he said the US, UK and its allies could be doing more to shape the dynamics on the ground. "We have got to do everything we can and more to support those groups who are fighting them on the ground because you can't defeat them by air power alone. That is clear," he said. "What is important for the west, is that we are very clear that we are going to obtain our own leverage to have an outcome that is fair and reasonable." Mr Blair, who stepped down as a Middle East envoy earlier this year, said despite some progress in confronting Islamic State, the organisation was "far too powerful" and it was in the UK's direct national interest to throw its weight behind military and diplomatic efforts to rid Syria of its presence. "It is not simply to do with a struggle that is in a faraway country," he added. "The truth is now we have hundreds of thousands of refugees coming from Syria to Europe. "The first wave of this will be refugees. The second wave, I fear, will be terrorism and problems of terrorism arising out of what is happening in Syria. "And we have both got to deal with that problem which is the outcome of the crisis in Syria and to try and resolve the actual crisis in Syria itself." Also speaking on Tuesday, current UK Prime Minister David Cameron rejected claims that the UK would be prepared to back extremist groups opposed to the Assad regime and said he was willing to try again to work with Russia and Iran to identify an administration which could deliver a peaceful future for the country. "We are working with our allies - and frankly we have tried to work in the past with the Russians, with the Iranians and with others, and we must try again - to identify a team of leaders and a structure where Sunni, Christian, Alawite, Kurd can all feel that they will be properly looked after in Syria." "I knew nothing about drones," says Judith Sherman, the head of HIV for the UN children's fund, Unicef, in Malawi. But as she leafed through an in-flight magazine about pizza deliveries by drone in Mumbai, she had a eureka moment. "Drones could be used to solve the logistical challenge of swiftly delivering HIV/Aids care in rural Malawi," she thought. Two years later she is about to find out if she was right as important experiments get under way. The government says 10,000 children died of HIV-related illnesses in Malawi in 2014, which is the "equivalent to a school bus full of youngsters dying every week," according to Ms Sherman. A young child may get the virus from an HIV-positive mother during pregnancy or birth, or when the mother is breastfeeding, but drugs can reduce the risk of transmission. Only half of the young people with HIV have access to treatment, and their initial diagnosis is often delayed because of the poor state of the roads. Unlike adults, screening for the virus in children with HIV-positive mothers requires specialist laboratories that can do a sophisticated test. There are only eight of them in the country and for many people they are hard to access. With many Malawians living in remote villages, the blood samples from rural HIV clinics need to be transported by motorbike along what are little more than dirt tracks, and that is where drones could have a revolutionary effect - slashing the waiting time for the blood test result. California-based company Matternet has designed a drone as part of an experiment being conducted in partnership with Unicef. Just like mobile phones transformed healthcare in Africa more than a decade ago, drones could do the same for programmes to deal with HIV, ultimately saving lives. Instead of using motorbikes to transport blood samples, which often require a large batch to make the delivery costs worthwhile, Unicef and Matternet are testing whether deliveries could be more efficient by air. "This is the power of things that are unexpected," says Paola Santana from Matternet. "People didn't see them coming and then they change everything." She is a technology evangelist, clearly on a mission to share the fruits of scientific advance to solve logistical problems. The drone used in the test is less than a metre long and is programmed to travel along a designated route, passing predetermined way points, which are plotted using an app. No pilot is necessary, instead it requires a health worker with a password and a GPS signal on their mobile phone. At the swipe of a button the vehicle is airborne. It has already been certified as safe by Malawi's defence ministry, which has approved an air corridor for the drone's use. But in the months ahead, the team from the Silicon Valley will run tests to measure the drone's resilience, cost effectiveness and efficiency. "You put a payload box and a fresh battery on the drone," says Ms Santana, as she demonstrates how the device can carry up to 1kg (2.2lb) of dried blood samples in a compartment tucked under a battery. "You then open the app and select the location, you swipe and you hit take off." As the drone makes its maiden flight in Malawi in front of a group of invited guests, villagers lined the edge of a nearby maize field. They direct their their gaze skywards to view the humming electrical beast making its first ascent. Then burst into peals of nervous laughter. "I thought it was going to come crashing down onto my head," giggles one woman. They had already been told by village doctors that there was nothing to fear, and that no witchcraft was involved in levitating the drone. "They were frightened at first," medical assistant Joanna Mwale confesses. "These are traditional areas, they've seen aeroplanes but nothing like this." Malawi Health Minister Peter Kumpalume is an enthusiastic advocate, and he compares the launch to his days as a young boy flying toy planes fashioned from maize husks. He is not worried about safety, but does acknowledge that there are cost issues. The operating costs are minimal because electricity to recharge the battery is cheaper than diesel fuel for motorbikes, but each drone costs $7,000 (£4,900), so there needs to be a strong business case. The minister though is convinced of the drone's potential, and the logistical barriers can be overcome in a country where HIV rates among children remain stubbornly high, and one in 10 Malawians live with HIV. "It's specialist testing we do for youngsters. If you delay giving them treatment most of them don't live beyond two years old," Mr Kumpalume says. "So the earlier the detection and the earlier the intervention, the longer they live and become productive citizens of the country." The experiment is still in its early phase. The tests over the next week will measure the drone's performance with differing winds speeds, humidity and distance, and if the results prove positive, the experiment will be expanded. These so-called leapfrog technologies have a record of changing the way things are done, and in time, with enough financial commitment, drones could change the face of HIV programmes across Africa. Great grandfather Ron Walker was assaulted in April in Torquay, Devon, after being accused of running over a man's foot. He died last Wednesday. In an open letter to attacker Kevin Williams, Mr Walker's grandaughter Natalie Lynn had "lost his pride, dignity and trust in others". Ms Lynn, 41, wrote: "Because of you my grandfather's last few months were lived in pain and fear". "Because of you he became angry and confused. "Because of you we were by his side, while he died afraid." Mr Walker, served in Palestine and Suez, and as an MoD dog handler. Williams, 43, of Torquay, was jailed by Exeter Crown Court for 20 months after he admitted causing actual bodily harm. Ms Lynn said: "Ron Walker, or as I knew him Pop, was a humble man. He never liked to be the centre of attention and lived his life pretty anonymously, spreading cheer and happiness through Torquay with a smile or a sweet. "He was a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather and will be greatly missed." Devon and Cornwall Police said any decision on further charges would be made by the Crown Prosecution Service. Lord Hall said Dame Janet Smith's inquiry had rejected the evidence from the Radio 2 DJ. The veteran DJ, who has threatened to sue the BBC, said the report included an accusation he was among celebrities who "seduced" a 15-year-old girl. Mr Blackburn, 73, denies the allegation and says he was cleared of wrongdoing. In a statement, he accused the BBC of making him a "scapegoat" for its own "cover-up" of abuse. Dame Janet's report found the BBC had repeatedly failed to stop "monstrous" abuse by DJ Jimmy Savile and broadcaster Stuart Hall because of a "culture of fear". Lord Hall told a news conference in the wake of the report's publication: "My interpretation is that Tony Blackburn fell short of the standards of evidence that such an inquiry demanded." He said it was "one of the most important inquiries in the BBC's history and that has put an even greater responsibility on everyone who took part in that inquiry to co-operate fully and to be open". "So many survivors and witnesses have honestly and openly co-operated fully - and at great personal cost to themselves. "As Dame Janet has said, she's rejected his evidence and she's explained very clearly why. I have to take that extremely seriously." BBC 'missed chances to stop abuse' by Savile BBC bosses 'aware' of Stuart Hall's sex abuse Dame Janet Smith report: At a glance Savile report reaction In his statement released on his Twitter account, Mr Blackburn said the claim made in 1971 was quickly withdrawn. The girl at the centre of the allegation took her own life later that year. Who is Tony Blackburn? The son of a doctor from Guildford, Tony Blackburn was the first DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 when it launched in September 1967. He spent 17 years at the station and also presented Top of the Pops and was a weekly fixture on Noel's House Party. Prior to all that, he had broadcast on Radio Caroline South and then Radio London. After Radio 1, he was one of the launch presenters on Capital Gold. He has also hosted Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops as well as regular bank holiday specials for the stations. He has also had shows on BBC London 94.9, BBC Radio Berkshire, the Magic network, BBC3CR and KMFM. In 2002 he won the ITV reality TV programme I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! Mr Blackburn said that neither Dame Janet's report into Savile, nor the BBC, made any suggestion he was guilty of misconduct with the girl, nor did a coroner's inquest or a subsequent police inquiry. He says that, during her review, Dame Janet saw BBC records allegedly showing he was interviewed about the girl's diary by a senior BBC executive, Bill Cotton, and by a senior lawyer. The DJ says he repeatedly told the review that he was never interviewed by either man. He said in a statement: "They are destroying my career and reputation because my version of events does not tally with theirs." "Sadly what is happening to me now seems entirely in keeping with the past BBC culture of whitewash and cover-up." Speaking to the BBC News Channel, Dame Janet said both Bill Cotton and the senior lawyer said they had had conversations with the DJ. "[He] told me that no such conversation had taken place and this was not a lapse of memory on his part. They simply had not taken place and I rejected that evidence," she said. Fellow radio and TV personalities have backed Mr Blackburn on Twitter. Christine Hamilton, who spent two weeks in the Australian jungle with Mr Blackburn on the first series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, tweeted: "The BBC should be ashamed of themselves for sacking Tony Blackburn. Massive overreaction after lamentable failure over Savile and Hall." TV's Piers Morgan tweeted: "Fewer nicer guys in showbusiness than @tonyblackburn. BBC treatment of him after 50yrs of brilliant broadcasting is outrageous." Comedian Danny Wallace tweeted: "I know @tonyblackburn, and as far as I can tell, every bone in his body is decent." Tony Blackburn responded on Twitter, saying he was "overwhelmed and humbled" by the support from fellow broadcasters and listeners. Conservative Gary Streeter told the Plymouth Herald a group who parked their caravans in a local park were "a nuisance" and "intruders". He told the BBC his reference to the Mongolian invader was meant to question their status as a vulnerable group. "If people get upset by it, that's up to them," he said. The MP for Devon South West was commenting on a group which set up camp at Trefusis Park in Lower Compton, Plymouth. He was quoted in the Herald as saying: "They are as vulnerable as Ghengis Khan, most of them are as ethnic as I am, and all have permanent homes elsewhere in the UK." Mr Streeter told the BBC his comment was a reference to travellers having vulnerable ethnic minority status. He said he has called for this to be removed previously, and would continue to raise the issue in Westminster. Councillor Philippa Davey told the newspaper Mr Streeter's comments were "irresponsible" and he was making "sweeping judgements" in "comparing people to Genghis Khan". Mr Streeter claimed "they're not vulnerable, they're not ethnic, they all come from somewhere else in England". The 29-year-old spent two years on the staff at Old Trafford before a spell at local rivals Manchester City. He made his professional debut during a loan spell at Swindon and since then his clubs have included Millwall, Rochdale and Walsall. Grimes played against Southport last season, one of 17 appearances for National League rivals Barrow. The comic came under fire after joking she was dressed like a "bag lady" at February's ceremony. Following the criticism, he tweeted that she was a "dear friend" who had got the joke. The Baftas take place on 12 February 2017 at a new venue for the event, the Royal Albert Hall. It will be the twelfth time Fry has hosted the UK's biggest film ceremony, which has previously been held at London's Royal Opera House. Fry said he has not "slammed the door" on Twitter after last year's incident, but said the site had become a "stalking ground for the sanctimoniously self-righteous". Beavan, who won the Bafta for best costume design for Mad Max: Fury Road, came on to the stage in February wearing a black leather jacket, white t-shirt and dark trousers. Following her acceptance speech and once she had left the stage, Fry said: "Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to the awards dressed like a bag lady." But he posted a picture of the pair at a party later that night to show his comment had not been taken badly. Next year's ceremony will feature Cirque de Soleil, which will be in residence at the Royal Albert Hall at the time of the awards. Bafta chief executive Amanda Berry said: "I am thrilled we have the opportunity to work with Cirque du Soleil during its season at the Royal Albert Hall, and have no doubt that next year's ceremony will be all the more magical for this creative collaboration." Nominations for the Baftas will be announced on 10 January. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram at bbcnewsents, or if you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. Henry Bello had also been convicted of sexual assault a decade earlier, the New York Times reported. He opened fire with an assault rifle in the Bronx-Lebanon hospital, killing a female doctor and injuring six other people, five of them seriously. He then shot himself after attempting to set himself on fire, police said. Some New York newspapers quoted a doctor at the hospital as saying Bello had vowed revenge on his colleagues after he left. "We fired him because he was kind of crazy," Dr Maureen Kwankam told the New York Daily News newspaper. "He promised to come back and kill us then." In 2004 Bello was charged with sexual abuse and unlawful imprisonment after a 23-year-old woman said he had grabbed her crotch outside a Manhattan building, the New York Times reported. Bello walked into the 1,000-bed hospital at about 14:55 local time (18:55 GMT) with an assault rifle hidden inside his white medical coat, reports said. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the attack had been a "horrific situation in the middle of a place that people associate with care and comfort". Several of the injured are "fighting for their lives," he said. The attack began on the 16th floor and all the victims were shot on the 16th and 17th floors. An assault rifle was also discovered nearby, which a local politician separately said appeared to be a military-grade M16 rifle. Messages on social media spoke of doctors and nurses barricading themselves inside the building in the Mount Hope district. One patient in the radiology department, Felix Puno, tweeted: "Building is in complete shut down, I was in the middle of getting an X-ray when security alerted us to the active shooter situation." Garry Trimble, whose fiancée works at the hospital, said security was not good enough. He said: "I can walk through the back door with an employee. If the employee opens the door, I can walk in. I think every hospital should have one police officer at each entrance. They only ever do something when something happens." Bronx-Lebanon is a private, not-for-profit hospital that has been operating for 120 years. Shootings at hospitals are not common, but there have been several such instances in recent years. In 2015, a man entered a Boston hospital and asked for a cardiologist by name, shooting him dead when he arrived. During the investigation, it emerged that the man's mother had previously been a patient at the hospital. In July 2016, another man opened fire in a patient's room at a Florida medical centre, killing an elderly woman and a hospital worker. The suspect was later deemed to suffer from mental health issues, casting doubt over his competency to stand trial. In July last year, a patient at a Berlin hospital shot a doctor before turning the gun on himself. The city had also seen a shooting outside another hospital earlier in the year, in which no-one was killed. Based on the adventures of the loveable London litter-pickers, the 52, 11-minute shorts will air on the channel's pre-school segment Milkshake in 2015. "The time is right for it to gain a whole new following," said Jessica Symons, Channel 5's head of children's. Narrated by Bernard Cribbins, the original series first aired in 1973. Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco and the rest of Elisabeth Beresford's characters were revived on ITV in 1998. "There are audiences of new children and international audiences who missed The Wombles the first time around," said Mike Batt, who gave the characters chart success in the 1970s. The 64-year-old musician and producer owns a controlling interest in the rights to the Wombles through his Dramatico recording and entertainment label. According to Batt, the new series will resemble the stop motion animation of the original series with the added bonus of "great fur". The first Wombles book - inspired by Beresford's young daughter mispronouncing "Wimbledon" as "Wombledon" - was published in 1968. "What sets The Wombles apart is that they were ahead of their time, as the first recycling enthusiasts." said Genevieve Dexter, whose Serious Lunch company is co-producing the new series. "The relevance of the original themes holds strong and the messages therein are perhaps even more widely accepted today." An emotional crowd held a late-night vigil in Bangkok, and black-clad crowds are now returning to the streets. The king's body will be taken to the city's Emerald Temple later on Friday. The official mourning will last a year. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn is expected be the new monarch, but has asked for a delay in succession. The cabinet has declared Friday a government holiday, and flags are to fly at half-mast for the next 30 days. The government has also asked for people to wear black, and avoid "joyful events" during this period. News websites have turned their pages black and white, while tributes have been paid by leaders around the world. One person in Bangkok told the Associated Press: "There is no word to explain my feeling right now." "I lost one of the most important people in my life. I feel like I haven't done enough for him. I should have done more," said Gaewkarn Fuangtong. Thousands of mourners are expected to line the streets of Bangkok on Friday afternoon when the king's body is moved from Siriraj Hospital to the Grand Palace. The Crown Prince will conduct the bathing ceremony of the king's body - a traditional Thai Buddhist funeral rite - on Friday evening, said palace officials. King Bhumibol was seen as a stabilising figure in a country hit by cycles of political turmoil and coups. He was widely respected across Thailand, and thought of by many as semi-divine. He had been ill for a long time. When news of his death was announced on Thursday evening, many in the large crowds outside the hospital where he died broke down. The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Bangkok says the king was a national father figure, a beacon of stability in a divided and worried country. A more uncertain era has begun, he adds. The king's death comes as Thailand remains under military rule following a coup in 2014. The country has suffered from political violence and upheaval over the past decade, as well as a long-running Muslim separatist insurgency in the southern provinces which sees regular small-scale bomb attacks. Though a constitutional monarch with limited official powers, many Thais looked to King Bhumibol to intervene in times of high tension. He was seen as a unifying and calming influence through numerous coups and 20 constitutions. However, his critics argued he had endorsed military takeovers and at times had failed to speak out against human rights abuses. Although the prime minister said Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn would become the new monarch, he added that the official proclamation would be made at a later date. He said the crown prince had confirmed that he would perform his duty as heir to the throne, but had asked for time to mourn his father's death. The crown prince, who is 64, is much less well known to Thais and has not attained his father's widespread popularity. He spends much of his time overseas, especially in Germany. Profile: Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn Strict lese-majeste laws protect the most senior members of Thailand's royal family from insult or threat. Public discussion of the succession can be punishable by lengthy jail terms. Given the pivotal role the king has played in maintaining the balance of power in Thailand's volatile political environment, the succession will be a formidable challenge for the government, says the BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok. The letter to the prime minister has been signed by the heads of every state school in West Sussex, who argue they need £20m in emergency funding. They say the "distraction" of grammar schools cannot be a priority ahead of basic funding and staffing. The government has promised a complete overhaul of school funding in England. But the plans for a national funding formula, which would address inequalities in school funding, have been postponed. The head teachers, from more than 250 primary, secondary, special schools, academies and local authority schools in West Sussex, say that without £20m emergency transitional funding, ahead of the funding formula, they will have to make cuts. A group of pupils and head teachers will go to Downing Street on Tuesday to deliver the letter, which is also being sent to more than 100,000 West Sussex parents. The lack of progress on funding, they say, has meant "a crippling effect on our already dire financial position". The head teachers have told the prime minister that without extra funds there will be cuts to schools from next spring. This could include reducing school hours, bigger class sizes, not replacing staff and making teachers redundant. The head teachers have told the prime minister that schools have "no more fat to trim". "Schools are struggling to function adequately on a day to day basis, and, in addition, we are severely hampered in our ability to recruit and retain staff, work with reasonable teacher-pupil ratios and to buy basic equipment," says the letter. Jules White, head of Tanbridge House School in Horsham, said heads were not "sabre-rattling" and these were not empty threats. "We will look at every option to avoid such drastic steps," he said, but school finances were so stretched they would have to take such difficult decisions. Mr White said head teachers wanted the government to focus on the practical necessities before being "distracted" by policies such as expanding grammar schools. "There are fundamentals - finance and the supply of teachers. That's what we want the conversation to be about," he said. "If you want rapid school improvement, fund them adequately." Mr White said parents had been very supportive of heads' protests about funding. "Parents get the unfairness," he said. Schools in West Sussex have argued they are particularly disadvantaged by the current funding arrangements. They miss out on the higher funding levels available to inner-city schools, such as extra support targeted at deprivation and pupils who do not speak English as a first language. There is also a London weighting which increases spending on the capital's schools. For a secondary school of about 1,500 pupils, the heads say that a school in West Sussex will receive £2.7m less per year than a school in an "average" London borough. Even with an extra £20m, the West Sussex schools say they would still receive £200 per pupil per year less than the national average. The schools in West Sussex say they receive £1,800 less in per pupil funding than schools in inner London. The cumulative impact, say the West Sussex heads, is that over the past five years, "school age children in each London borough have, on average, received £1bn more school funding than their counterparts in West Sussex". The Department for Education said that school funding was at record levels - £40bn per year, including £2.5bn in pupil premium payments supporting disadvantaged children. But the department has said that the "current system for distributing that funding is outdated, inefficient and unfair". It means that "a school in one part of the country could receive over 50% more than an identical school with exactly the same children, simply because of an accident of history". Plans to overhaul school funding had been announced by the previous Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan. But the introduction of a national funding formula, due to begin from next year, has been postponed until 2018-19. Last year, the "least fairly funded" councils received additional funding, with West Sussex being given £930,000.

The code has been injected into the sites by cyberthieves, said Dutch developer Willem De Groot. He found the 5,925 compromised sites by scanning for the specific signature of the data-stealing code in website software. Some of the stolen data was sent to servers based in Russia, he said. In a blogpost, Mr De Groot said the attacks exploited known vulnerabilities in several different widely used web retailing programs. Mr De Groot is co-founder and head of security at Dutch ecommerce site byte.nl Having won access, the attackers injected a short chunk of obfuscated code that copied credit card and other payment information. Stolen data was being sold on dark web markets at a rate of about $30 (£25) per card, he said. His research found nine separate types of skimming code on sites, suggesting many different crime groups were involved. Mr De Groot said he had been investigating skimming since his own card details were stolen. His work revealed the first sites harbouring the malicious code in late 2015 but further research showed the skimming started in earnest in May 2015. By the end of that year about 3,500 sites had been compromised. Since then, he said, the number of sites had grown to 5,925 with some harbouring skimming code for almost 18 months. Victims included carmakers, fashion firms, government sites and museums. The code used to steal data steadily became more sophisticated and now makes efforts to hide itself and tackle more types of payment systems. "New cases could be stopped right away if store owners would upgrade their software regularly," wrote Mr De Groot. "But this is costly and most merchants don't bother." Mr De Groot said some stores had taken action to flush out the skimming code and patch their stores after he published a list of compromised sites. "I would recommend consumers to only enter their payment details on sites of known payment providers such as Paypal," he told the BBC. "They have hundreds of people working on security, the average store probably has none." By the end of the second quarter the hosts trailed 26-24 in Cardiff. But they took a 42-38 lead into the fourth quarter and increased the margin by a point to win 55-52. However, the Welsh team remain bottom of the 10-team table, but are now level on points with Team Northumbria while Sirens are fifth. The enormously powerful winds that blast Mount Everest relent for just a few weeks every spring. They are precious weeks that provide climbers with a chance to claim the greatest mountaineering "scalp" of them all - the world's highest summit. Those wishing to make the ascent must spend months preparing and thousands of dollars for a permit, even before they start. Then, on the climb itself, they have to brave all that the mountain can throw at them - bad weather, the effects of altitude, even the sight of the corpses of climbers who have died making the attempt. Four people died on their way down from the summit last weekend. Two hundred climbers are expected to make an attempt on the mountain this weekend, which is likely to be the last of this year's season. What is it about Everest that keeps them coming? "It is really quite simple - it's the biggest mountain in the world." Dawa Steven Sherpa runs one of the companies that guides climbers on the mountain. His words echo those of George Mallory, who summed up the allure of Everest before his fatal attempt to climb it in 1924: "Because it's there". That phrase has been described as the three most famous words in mountaineering, and the challenge proves irresistible to hundreds of climbers every year. "On the mountain itself, there are around 1,000 climbers at the moment - but it's a big mountain, and if you compare it with Mont Blanc, say, that's not very many", says Dawa Steven Sherpa, speaking to the BBC from Everest Base Camp. "The problem is everyone wants to go to the summit on the same day at exactly the same time." That is because climbers are keen to take advantage of perfect weather conditions, which could disappear at any moment and not reappear for months. On 23 May 2010, for example, 169 climbers reached the summit in a single day - more than the total number who had conquered the mountain in the 30 years following the first ascent in 1953. More than 3,000 climbers had reached the summit by the end of the 2010 climbing season. "We now have more than 50 years' experience of climbing this mountain. We know where to put the ropes, where people should put their feet. It's become a lot easier over the years", says Dawa Steven Sherpa. And this creates another problem - many of those testing themselves against Everest fail the test. "I think some people do underestimate it," says Rhys Jones, who in 2006 became the youngest British person to reach the summit. "There's a price tag on it, and they think, 'why wouldn't I be able to climb it? If I just pay enough, I'll be able to get up it'." Dawa Steven Sherpa agrees: "Many people do overestimate their abilities. They can be very fit - marathon runners, ultra-marathon runners, iron-man competitors - but they don't understand altitude, and they underestimate the mountain." For many purist mountaineers, the process of climbing Everest is becoming too commercial, too orchestrated and too reliant on external help. Reinhold Messner was one of the first people to climb Everest without oxygen, in 1978. "The route is prepared by hundreds of Sherpas. Extra oxygen is available in all camps, right up to the summit. People will cook for you and lay out your beds. Clients feel safe," he said in a newspaper interview. But Rhys Jones feels Everest will always be special, and won't ever be "just a treadmill". "Everyone is aware of the risks", he told the BBC. "They have all read the books, which tend to be about the disasters and the fatalities. "But actually, risk is part of the attraction - it makes it more of a test, it gives you more to aim for." A leaked Thai police memo says the information was passed by Russia's intelligence agency. More than 1.5 million Russians visited in 2013. But Thai police say they have not been able to confirm the presence of these Syrians and officials called for calm. Russia began air strikes against IS in Syria at the end of September. An IS-linked group also claimed it brought down the Russian airliner which crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsula in October, killing all 224 people on board. The Islamic State threat in south-east Asia Russia 'slowing IS down in Syria' Islamic State: Where key countries stand The leaked memo, marked "urgent" and dated 27 November, was from a commander of Thailand's Special Branch and was sent to police units. It says Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) had told Thai police that the Syrian militants had entered the country between 15 and 31 October to target Russians. Does IS ideology threaten Indonesia? IS moves into al-Qaeda's turf 'Terror act' brought down Russian airliner The memo reads: "They travelled separately. Four went to Pattaya, two to Phuket, two to Bangkok and the other two to an unknown location." The plan was to target "Russians and Russia's alliance with Thailand," it says. The memo calls for increased security around possible targets. Pattaya and Phuket are both popular resort destinations for Russian tourists, and Christmas and New Year are peak seasons. But Thai authorities said they had still to determine whether the Syrians had even entered the country. A deputy spokesman for the Thai police Songpol Wattanachai confirmed the memo was authentic, but added: "So far it's only intelligence news that still needs to be proved... we have no proof if they are here for real or not." National Security Council Chief General Thawip Netniyom said: "We have yet to find any unusual movement. Everything is safe, rest assured." Immigration Bureau commissioner Nathathorn Prausoontorn told Reuters news agency that of the 231 Syrians who had entered in October, only 21 remain and there were "no irregularities" among them. In August, a bomb at a Bangkok temple that killed 20 people was the first major attack on a tourist target in Thailand. Two Muslim Uighurs were arrested and charged, although authorities say they are linked to people-smuggling gangs, not Islamist militants. But the BBC's Southeast Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, in Bangkok, says there are outstanding arrest warrants for a further 15 suspects for that bombing who are still at large. There is a widely-held belief that it was carried out in retaliation for Thailand's controversial decision in July to repatriate more than 100 Uighur asylum seekers to China, he adds. The victim sustained a serious head injury when he was attacked in a car park off Castle Street early on Sunday. It happened at about 01:30 BST near the rear of a hotel. He is in a critical condition in Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital. The arrested man, who is 22, has been detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. Det Sgt Chris Wilkinson said there was "a large number of people in the area at the time" and he appealed for witnesses to assist the investigation. North Antrim MLA Mervyn Storey said people in the town had been "shocked" by the attack. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young man and his family at time," the DUP member added. "This was not the way the evening in Ballymoney should have ended, it is a tragedy for all involved." They could be at any one of the summer's music festivals. But this is the young farmers' area at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, in Powys, Mid-Wales. Despite the huge numbers of enthusiastic young people here, the average age of a farmer is 58. More than 60,000 new farmers will be needed over the next decade in order to provide enough food for the rest of us. Despite unemployment among 16-24-year-olds standing at just over one million, few consider a career in farming where a good one might earn up to £60,000 a year. This is partly because farming has an image problem. A survey of young children carried out by Careers in Farming and Food Supply showed the industry was perceived as "boring, repetitive and low-paid". In just one row of stands here at the Royal Welsh, fluttering banners advertise animal micro-nutrients and heavy machinery and offer a multitude of financial plans. This tiny area of the show demonstrates that agriculture has become an increasingly technical, complex and challenging industry. "You can use all sorts of skills as a farmer these days," says Christine Tacon, Chairman of UK Farming plc. Beyond an obvious passion for the outdoors, farmers also need to excel at logistics and planning as well nurturing "softer" skills, like people management. "Imagine you've hired 2,000 workers from various countries in eastern Europe. Getting them to work harmoniously together is going to be a challenge," explains Ms Tacon. The shortage of young farmers is also starting to worry big businesses. Fast-food chain McDonalds has also just launched a programme aiming to help young people into the industry. With an initial first-year investment of £1m, Farm Forward offers agricultural students a placement year working in every part of the supply chain. Source: Royal Agricultural Society of England report, 2009 "We will help them develop the blend of skills and experience that progressive, modern farmers want and need," says Brian Mullens, senior vice president of McDonalds UK. Many young people are also put off farming because they think you have to come from an agricultural family to succeed. "This absolutely isn't true," says Rachel Jones, from Farmers Weekly magazine. "People don't realise how much of a business farming is, you have to have an eye on margins and costs every step of the way. If you have really acute business and entrepreneurial skills there are opportunities out there. " In a bid to tempt some fresh meat into the industry, Farmers Weekly has launched Farmers Apprentice - a competition in which 10 people aged between 18 and 25 will battle it out in a farming "boot camp" for a week, carrying out some of the toughest tasks. Gareth Barlow grew up in Reading, and when his non-farming friends and family found out that his dream was to become a farmer, they tried to put him off. "They said there was no future in it and I'd never make any money. I guess I wanted to prove them wrong," he said. He has continued to add to the small flock of sheep he bought as a 17-year-old, and now has more than 500. Gareth also trained as butcher and has sold his meat to Michelin-starred chefs, like Marcus Wareing. "Farming has to be a business," he says. "You're a businessman first, then a farmer". He acknowledges that farming is not always the most glamorous of jobs, and can be very hard work. "You're working with and against nature," he says. "You have to be prepared to do anything, so if a ewe's having trouble birthing, you do have to get stuck in." The recent dairy protests highlight the challenges faced by small farmers in today's volatile markets. They also show how necessary it is to display good business acumen when negotiating prices with supermarkets. The National Farmers Union says cuts in the price paid to suppliers, combined with rising feed costs, could force hundreds of farmers out of business. However, Christine Tacon does not think that should put anyone off the industry. She says in the bigger agricultural companies, graduate trainees are paid upwards of £20,000, are given a vehicle and often a house. Alongside schemes like the Farmers Apprentice and Farm Forward, the industry is trying to do more to change the public perception of farming. Kevin Thomas, national director of Lantra, the sector-skills council for land-based and environmental industries, says: "A lot of career information is gained online, but we need to increase the opportunity for 13-14-year-olds to get a taster of working on the land. "It's about informing careers advisers and individuals to show that there is a career opportunity at all levels." If that does not persuade young people to think about career in farming, perhaps the industry could point to a new ONS survey which shows those who live and work in the countryside are happier than the rest of us. Richard Page, 69, who served for 15 years as a magistrate in Kent, was removed after he gave an interview to BBC News Correspondent Carolyn Wyatt. The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said his comments amounted to serious misconduct which brought the magistracy into disrepute. Mr Page said he would challenge the "illiberal and intolerant" decision. The JP, who served in Sevenoaks and Maidstone, sat on the Kent Central family panel. He was reprimanded in 2014 after he was found to have been influenced in an adoption case by his religious beliefs as a Christian but spoke about his views in the BBC interview on 12 March 2015. He told Ms Wyatt: "My responsibility as a magistrate, as I saw it, was to do what I considered best for the child. "My feeling was therefore that it would be better if it was a man and woman who were the adopted parents." A spokesman for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said he was removed because the comments "would have caused a reasonable person to conclude he was biased and prejudiced against single sex adopters". Mr Page, whose case has been taken up by the Christian Legal Centre. said: "I have made judgments on thousands of cases and in each case, have come to my decision based on the evidence, and the evidence alone. "It has only been a relatively short time that same-sex couples have been able to adopt and foster and there has not been time for a proper analysis to be carried out into the effects such placements have on the children's educational, emotional and developmental wellbeing. "To punish me and to seek to silence me for expressing a dissenting view is deeply shocking." The Christian Legal Centre's chief executive, Andrea Minichiello Williams, said: "To remove someone like Richard from the bench is modern day madness. "He has a lifetime of public service and expertise in mental health. "He is motivated by his Christian faith and a deep compassion for people." Professor Dylan Jones-Evans led a group examining concerns firms were not able to borrow the money they needed to expand and take on more staff. It found a "market failure" in available finance. The development bank, a first of its kind for part of the UK, could have a "significant impact" on small business. This is the third and final report by Dylan Jones-Evans, professor of entrepreneurship at the University of the West of England in Bristol, who led the expert panel set up by the Welsh government. Previous reports found that there was a gap of £500m a year between what businesses want to borrow and what banks are willing to lend. This followed the economic crisis that began in 2007 and reached its height a year later. The call for a development bank could spell the end of the road for the arms-length body, Finance Wales. Prof Jones-Evans says: "The current solutions being provided by Finance Wales, as a subsidiary of the Welsh government, will not be able to fully address the challenges in closing the widening funding gap for SMEs in Wales." He suggests integrating a substantial amount of its functions which could be done by either merging or amalgamating it with the development bank. "The government provision of access to finance is too important a priority to be left within the narrow remit of this institution that has failed to adapt sufficiently to changing market conditions, " he adds. Ultimately, the future of Finance Wales will be decided by the Economy Minister Edwina Hart. Prof Jones-Evans's other reports also raised questions about how well Finance Wales, which is publicly funded, was performing in terms of getting money to businesses and helping grow the Welsh economy. Figures last year also revealed that investments in firms from Finance Wales' main European fund had only resulted in 20% of the jobs they were expected to create. Although it has helped many businesses with financial support it has been criticised for charging high interest rates. The organisation says its loans are risk-based so it charges high rates where the risk is high. Prof Jones-Evans says high street banks need to be encouraged to lend to firms with the development bank "working with" rather than "crowding out" the private finance sector. The development bank could bring together loans, grants and business advice in one place. At the moment, companies can access different loans through the UK government, the Welsh government and Finance Wales. This is a major development in how the Welsh government supports businesses. Critics of the proposed development bank have raised concerns that it would be under the direct influence of the Welsh government as opposed to Finance Wales, which operates at arms-length from ministers. Monk has guided Swansea to three wins - away to Manchester United and at home to Burnley and West Brom. His side are second in the table behind Chelsea, who they face away on Saturday, on goal difference. "It's a honour and a privilege," said Monk, who dedicated the award to all the staff at the Welsh club. "These sort of awards means that as a group we are doing something right. "At this moment in time we want to try and keep this momentum and run going and hopefully we can continue that." Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Stoke's Mark Hughes and Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert had also been shortlisted for the award. As well as the three league wins, Swansea also tasted victory at the Liberty Stadium in the League Cup against Rotherham United. Monk said his players demonstrated different attributes in their three Premier League triumphs during August. "It was a very good team performance against Manchester United," said Monk. "Against Burnley, we had to show another side to our game where we had to really dig deep in the second half and show our defensive qualities. "Against West Brom we got on the front foot and in possession and scored some very good goals and created many, many chances. "All three games have had everything which is great to see but we have to keep improving and maintain that." Moses Kamara was left in tears after making the 3,000 mile (4,800 km) trip, only for the game to be cancelled. He had been invited by friends at the Manchester United Supporters Trust to watch the Premier League match. Now the group has offered to fund an extended stay for Mr Kamara. Members offered to pay for a later return flight home, so he can watch the Red Devils' rearranged clash with Bournemouth on Tuesday. And they are arranging a ticket for Moses to watch the team's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace at Wembley next week. The fan, who works in security, said "he cried a lot" when the match was cancelled. "I was so disappointed and I cried right away and people come around me and hug me," he said. "I come far away from Sierra Leone. I come to watch this match and it doesn't happen." "This is my first time in real life to watch Manchester live and it doesn't happen." An "urgent" inquiry has been demanded after a dummy bomb used in a security exercise resulted in the 15:00 BST kick-off match being postponed. Fans were evacuated and a controlled explosion was carried out on the device, which police said was accidentally left at the 75,000 capacity stadium. Ian Stirling, vice chairman of MUST, said: "When we heard the game was abandoned we had to tell Moses and the poor lad was distraught - being so close to the ground and not being able to go in, not knowing when he might get this chance again. "He's still distraught at not getting in to Old Trafford. That was his dream. But we're trying to do the right thing for a friend." Manchester United said it was refunding all tickets for Sunday's game and allowing ticket holders from both clubs to watch Tuesday's re-arranged game for free. The 25-year-old is hoping to take part in cycling and athletics at the Games and is world champion in both. However, she has been moved from the T37 category to T38, for less-disabled athletes, after medical tests in Italy on Thursday. Cox won T37 100m gold at last year's World Championships in Doha. She was a talented able-bodied sprinter before a stroke in May 2014 led to Multiple Sclerosis. Her best time in 2015 was 13.59 seconds, which made her quickest in the world among T37 athletes. But she would have been only eighth-fastest in the T38 category and the third-fastest Briton behind Sophie Hahn and Olivia Breen. This year, she has improved her time to 13.30, but that is still only fifth-fastest in the T38 rankings, which are headed by Hahn, who recently clocked 12.66 seconds. Cox will now race in the T38 category at the IPC European Championships, which start in Grosseto, Italy on Saturday. Her cycling category was amended on the eve of the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in March, but she still won gold in the C4 500m time trial. British Cycling appealed against the amendment, and she faces more tests later this summer. Cox is aiming to be the first GB athlete since Isabel Barr (later Newstead), who was successful in shooting and athletics in Seoul in 1988, to win medals in two sports at one Games. The Scottish government has pledged £2.5m towards the scheme. Scottish Borders Council was asked to allocate up to £3.5m. A report reckons the building could draw tens of thousands of visitors a year to the site, which is near to one end of the new Borders Railway line. It was approved by 21 votes to 10, ensuring the tapestry will be housed close to the railway's main terminus at Tweedbank, subject to planning permission. Councillor David Parker, leader of the council, said: "I am delighted that elected members have supported this project and we hope to provide a truly inspirational visitor centre that will act as a gateway to the Borders and encourage visitors not only to view the tapestry but to go to the many other visitor attractions throughout our region." Councillor Stuart Bell, executive member for economic development, said: "The business case and design of the proposed Tapestry Centre at Tweedbank was compelling and I have no doubt that we will provide a first class national and international attraction that visitors to the Borders will want to see." Officially the world's largest embroidered tapestry, the 469ft (143m) artwork uses 300 miles (483km) of yarn to depict 42 million years of Scottish history across 160 panels. It has toured around Scotland but the Borders, with its history in the textiles industry, has been keen to house it on a permanent basis. The total cost of constructing a building to host it - including a cafe, workshop and exhibition space - has been estimated at around £6m. A council report described it as a "unique opportunity" for the Scottish Borders to have an "exhibition of national significance" with ties to the region's textiles traditions. "It will provide a potential hub for local and international events," it added. "A location at Tweedbank has the opportunity to create a destination for the area with direct links to other local attractions such as Abbotsford House and Melrose Abbey," the report said. It said it could also link to the further development of the area and proposals for a Central Borders Business Park. Consultants forecast that it would bring money to the local economy and provide the equivalent of 17 full time jobs. Not everyone in the region agrees that Tweedbank, at one end of the Borders to Edinburgh railway due to open next year, is the best location. Some councillors in Hawick are unhappy that what they see as the capital of the area's textile trade was not given greater consideration. Conservatives were unhappy no attempt was made to source private investment before public money was committed. They warned services would suffer. Do you think the Scottish Borders should become the permanent home for the Great Tapestry of Scotland? And, if so, do you believe Tweedbank is the right location?

The parliamentary inquiry highlighted one online exchange - understood to have been on Facebook - the agencies did not have access to that MPs said might have enabled them to stop the attack. The soldier was killed in May 2013. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale drove into the 25-year-old before hacking him to death, near Woolwich Barracks, in London. Prime Minister David Cameron said the Intelligence and Security Committee report had raised "significant areas of concern". The committee spent 18 months examining the actions of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) regarding the two men and produced the most detailed report it has ever published. Adebolajo and Adebowale appeared in seven different agency investigations - for the most part as low-level subjects of interest - and the report identifies a number of serious delays and potential missed opportunities. They include: The report found the two murderers were in contact 39 times between 11 April and 22 May 2013 - including seven attempted calls and 16 text messages on the day before the attack. But "none of these text messages revealed any indication of attack planning or indeed anything of significance". The report's conclusion was "given what the agencies knew at the time, they were not in a position to prevent the murder of Fusilier Rigby". However, the committee flagged up an online exchange between Adebowale and an overseas extremist, which only came to light after the attack. In the exchange from December 2012, Adebowale expresses his intent to murder a soldier in a "graphic and emotive" manner. The report does not name the company that hosted the exchange but the BBC understands it was Facebook. Committee chairman Sir Malcolm Rifkind said the online exchange was "highly significant". "Had MI5 had access to this exchange at the time, Adebowale would have become a top priority," he said. "There is then a significant possibility that MI5 would have been able to prevent the attack." A Facebook spokesman said: "Like everyone else, we were horrified by the vicious murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. "We don't comment on individual cases but Facebook's policies are clear, we do not allow terrorist content on the site and take steps to prevent people from using our service for these purposes." By Gordon Corera, BBC security correspondent This remarkably detailed report finds fault with all three British intelligence agencies. Each made mistakes. Investigations were not prioritised, reports not passed on. And yet the conclusion argues that even with these in mind the attack could not have been stopped. The committee denies that it was generous in its conclusions. The signs are though that this report may be used as part of the government's push to gain more access to communications since it argues the strongest evidence came from a US internet company that did not pass on a crucial online exchange. The report did not lay the blame with the agencies but the "company on whose system the exchange took place". "This company does not regard themselves as under any obligation to ensure that they identify such threats, or to report them to the authorities," he said. "We find this unacceptable: however unintentionally, they are providing a safe haven for terrorists. " Sir Malcolm said even if the agencies had sought access - under a warrant - before the attack, the company might not have responded. "None of the major US companies we approached proactively monitor and review suspicious content on their systems, largely relying on users to notify them of offensive or suspicious content. "We also found that none of them regard themselves as compelled to comply with UK warrants obtained under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. "This is of very serious concern: the capability of the agencies to access the communications of their targets is essential to their ability to detect and prevent terrorist threats in the UK." The committee's findings were published the day after a warning by Home Secretary Theresa May about the level of terrorist threat the country faces, and a day before new counter-terrorism powers are published. BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said within hours of the report being published, it was being used to give the government support for the bill it wants to introduce to force internet companies to keep data available to police and intelligence agencies. "Adebowale had already been blocked from other internet service providers because his content was too extremist but this particular one did not report him," he said. Human rights group Liberty said the ISC had "shamelessly" spun the facts in order to shift the blame on to communications companies. BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said it had turned very swiftly from controversy over the role of the security agencies into a fully-blown political furore over the role of this committee and the government. "The committee is already facing accusations of glossing over failings of the security services," he said. "The Labour chairman of the home affairs committee wants to interview the security chiefs before his committee because he doesn't feel the intelligence committee has done a good enough job." He added that a senior Conservative MP on the intelligence committee had expressed concern that the report's criticisms of the internet companies had been leaked in advance. The prime minister had asked the committee to carry out the investigation following Fusilier Rigby's death. Responding to the report in the Commons, he announced £130m in funding to improve the agencies' capability to combat "self-starting" terrorists - also known as lone wolf attackers. He also said internet firms had a "social responsibility" to prevent their networks being used to "plot murder and mayhem". Adebolajo was sentenced in February to a whole-life term and Adebowale was jailed for a minimum of 45 years for the killing. They were 29 and 22 years old respectively when sentenced. The utility player, 31, will finish his on-field career with the Super League club and then take up a coaching role. Currently with New Zealand Warriors, Leulaui previously spent six years with Wigan, winning the Grand Final in 2010 and the Challenge Cup in 2011. "When I knew Wigan were interested, it was a no-brainer," he said. "With my wife being from Wigan and us having a new-born baby, I thought for my family it would be better for us to be back in England. "I've got a lot of close friends at Wigan and I really love the club and its history," he added. Of all the decommissioning over the next 25 years, more than half is likely to take place between 2019 and 2026. The estimate, from Douglas-Westwood, takes account of the fall in the price of oil. It suggested this will result in many oil fields in UK waters, including the North Sea, becoming uneconomic. Another consultancy, Wood Mackenzie, reported on Friday that, at recent prices, one in seven barrels of oil being produced in UK waters is at a cash loss. It said the UK is the country third most likely to see oil fields permanently shut down as a result of low prices. Canada and Venezuela have more production at a cash loss. Another assessment of the North Sea, by Company Watch and commissioned by the Financial Times, suggests that half of oil and gas companies with North Sea operations are now loss-making, with total losses for the past 12 months adding up to £6.4bn. The estimate for decommissioning 146 offshore platforms in the seven years to 2016 is part of forecast expenditure of nearly £35bn over the next 25 years. That could be reduced by nearly £5bn if techniques change and depend on so-called "super-heavy lift vessels", says Ben Wilby, of Douglas-Westwood. The first such ship in the North Sea - the newly-built, 48,000 tonne Pioneering Spirit - is currently being fitted with lifting gear at Rotterdam for deployment later this year. It can lift entire platform topsides or the steel jackets underneath, before taking them ashore for break-up and recycling of materials. That would be less expensive than more conventional cranes doing much of the work at sea, but the super-heavy lift vessel has yet to prove itself and win industry confidence. More information on Douglas-Westwood's forecast for North Sea decommissioning until 2040, is to be published early next week. It is expected to show that Norway's decommissioning programme will be delayed long after most British sector platforms have been scrapped. Around 80% of Norwegian expenditure on scrapping equipment will be between 2030 and 2040, it is forecast. "The time for many North Sea offshore oil and gas platforms to be decommissioned is fast approaching, with the oil price collapse bringing the commerciality of numerous fields into question," according to a preview of the report. "This is likely to lead to a large growth in the number of decommissioning projects planned, putting enormous amounts of pressure on the supply chain. If the industry is well prepared, there will be a major opportunities and rewards for participation in the sector." Another major concern for operators will be maintenance costs. Platforms that have finished producing will need work done on them every year to ensure that they comply with safety legislation. With the oil price low, these fields are no longer seen as viable, and permanent closure (or shut-ins, in industry jargon) is expected to be brought forward. Platforms would then be scrapped to avoid the annual cost of upkeep. Wood Mackenzie's report drew on data from 10,000 oil fields around the world. It found that one barrel in every 30 is being produced at a loss - in that production is more expensive than revenue. That rises to one in seven for the UK offshore sector. Wood Mackenzie calculates that some 220,000 barrels per day are produced at a loss, out of around 1.5 million in total. It says the global picture is of a low level of oil field shut-ins, despite the low oil price. Only around 100,000 barrels of oil per day have been lost due to such decisions. The analysts see producers as continuing to hope that the price will rise before abandoning reserves. But they said the UK is among the oil producing countries where the pressure to abandon oil fields will be highest. A previous report from Wood Mackenzie, published last September, forecast 150 UK field closures by 2020 even if the oil price returns to $85 per barrel. The price of the Brent crude benchmark has since plunged further, currently trading around $34, and much of the industry is adjusting to prices staying "lower for longer". Analyst Fiona Legate wrote that annual decommissioning spend would surpass oilfield development spending from 2019, and the full cost of scrapping offshore equipment could reach £54bn over the next 50 years. Her report said 30 North Sea fields had been shut in already, with five closures announced in the previous year, and that oil and gas companies had found the cost of decommissioning is turning out to be more expensive than expected. The victim was dragged along the ground by a robber in Hackney, east London, as he grabbed her handbag on 27 June. Detectives want to speak to Sanchez Edwards, 28, who has paranoid schizophrenia and went missing from the John Howard Centre on 17 May. The Met Police described him as a "dangerous man". He was admitted to the centre in Hackney on 29 January last year and later sentenced to an unrestricted hospital order under the Mental Health Act for assaulting a member of hospital staff. A Met Police spokesman said: "If you see Edwards then do not approach him but immediately call 999 or alert a nearby police officer." Detectives said the 92-year-old woman was pulled across the floor by the man as she walked to a medical centre in Nuttall Street. She eventually let go of the bag, which contained a £50 mobile phone, £100 in cash and a travel pass, because she was in so much pain, police said. Det Insp Paul Ridley said the "devastating psychological trauma of this victim is possibly the worst I have encountered". "From next week, Wednesday, he will start working with our team and he will be with us until January," Pellegrini told a press conference on Saturday. "He is working with the squad. He will fight for his position." The 36-year-old signed for New York City last month on a two-year contract after his release from Chelsea. Major League Soccer franchise New York City are owned jointly by Manchester City and baseball giants the New York Yankees, but their season does not start until March 2015. Manchester City plan to register the England international for both their Premier League and Champions League campaigns. "He knows we have a very good team, we have a lot of players in his position. He is one player more," Pellegrini said following his side's 5-4 defeat on penalties by Olympiakos in their latest pre-season friendly. Media playback is not supported on this device "We have a lot of games particularly with the Champions League - so he's very important for our team." Lampard has legendary status at Chelsea following 13 years at Stamford Bridge, his 211 goals in 649 matches making him the club's record scorer. Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin does not believe the midfielder's reputation will be damaged by a move to City, and Pellegrini ruled out any chance of sparing him a meeting against his former employers when the two sides meet at Etihad Stadium on 21 September. "He is a player for Manchester City and he will play every game he needs to play," the Chilean said. During his time at Stamford Bridge, Lampard was Chelsea's vice-captain and won the Premier League title three times and the Champions League and Europa League once apiece. The former West Ham player also helped the Blues win four FA Cups and the League Cup twice. On signing for New York City FC, Lampard said: "New York ticks all the right boxes for me. It's very exciting." Former Spain striker David Villa, 32, has also joined the MLS franchise but will spend three months on loan at Melbourne FC, Manchester City's Australian partner club. Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano said: "One of the reasons David Villa and Frank Lampard decided to come to New York is because they know who manages and who owns the club." Lampard, who won his 106th England cap during the World Cup in Brazil, said he would make a decision on his international career once his club future was finalised. At his official New York unveiling, Lampard said: "I'm going to keep fit, that's the main thing. How I do that is not clear yet. "I'm going to sit round with people at the club and sort that out." A number of MLS players have previously spent the US close-season on loan with Premier League clubs, including Clint Dempsey at Fulham, Landon Donovan at Everton, Robbie Keane at Aston Villa and Thierry Henry at Arsenal. Many businesses saw their operations blossom too. Among them, one stood out as a clear winner: Odebrecht group, which owns Latin America's biggest construction company. Under the leadership of chief executive Marcelo Odebrecht, whose grandfather founded the company, the group more than doubled in size and revenue in 10 years. It now has 181,000 employees in 21 countries. The company won contracts across the world - to expand the Caracas metro system, build a port in Cuba and carry out many infrastructure projects in Africa. When Brazilian presidents travelled abroad, Odebrecht executives were regular fixtures in the usual business entourage. But since June, both Mr Odebrecht and his company have suddenly turned toxic for politicians, as the business leader became the most high-profile executive to be arrested in the Petrobras scandal. On 29 July, Mr Odebrecht was formally charged with corruption and money laundering, and accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to senior officials at the state oil company Petrobras to secure lucrative building contracts. Now held in jail, he denies all the charges. The scale of the Petrobras scandal in the Brazilian economy is unprecedented. It has cost Petrobras alone $2bn (£1.3bn). The country's private construction sector was thrown into disarray. Presidents of all six of Brazil's top construction companies - with combined revenue of almost $10bn - are either behind bars or awaiting trial. They all stand accused of bribing officials in exchange for Petrobras contracts. This scandal is changing the way politicians and companies do business with each other. Odebrecht and other construction firms are big donors in Brazilian elections - for parties both in the ruling coalition and opposition. Their cosy relations with governments can be rewarding. During Brazil's boom years, construction firms benefited from loans given by Brazil's development bank BNDES with special interest rates well below the market rate. Odebrecht topped the list of BNDES loans - receiving $8bn, or 70% of the total money lent between 2007 and 2015. Prof Sergio Lazzarini, a teacher at Sao Paulo's Insper Business School, who wrote a book on state capitalism, says this marriage of convenience between construction firms and politicians has been historically encouraged by two factors in Brazil. "First there was little investigation into corruption practices. And second, when the government is more ambitious in its investments, it opens up opportunities for private businesses, who have more stimulus to influence the political scene," he says. As the Brazilian economy grew, the role of the state in the private sector increased too. In 2000, credit given by state bank BNDES accounted for 5% of Brazil's national output; that share grew to 12%, says Prof Lazzarini. Now, he argues, the relationship between construction firms and the state is turning sour. Founded in 1944 by Norberto Odebrecht 1953: Completed first project for Petrobras, an oil pipeline in north-east Brazil 1960s: Expands in south-east Brazil, building Petrobras main office building in Rio de Janeiro Also builds campus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Galeao International Airport (pictured above) and the Angra I Thermonuclear Plant 1970s: Wins first international contracts 1991: Odebrecht becomes the first Brazilian company to complete a public construction project in the US 2011: Named one of the 10 companies most admired by young Brazilians Today: 181,000 employees working in 21 countries Brazil's massive investigation into Petrobras is ending years of lax attitudes towards corruption. Also the Brazilian state is cash-strapped and is having to reduce the role of BNDES. Investing in politicians will be less rewarding for businesses, especially if Brazil reforms its election donation laws. The arrest of Latin America's top construction industry boss also has the potential to influence Brazil's political future. A prosecutor in Brasilia has launched a separate investigation into the relationship between Odebrecht and former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, known as Lula. The firm paid him to travel to countries including Cuba, Ghana, Venezuela, Portugal and the Dominican Republic after he had left office. The authorities want to know whether Lula illegally peddled his influence with global leaders to help Odebrecht gain contracts in those countries. Both Lula and the company vehemently deny any wrongdoing, saying the former president was hired to talk in business conferences. This investigation is being launched at a moment of turmoil in the Brazilian political landscape. President Dilma Rousseff has seen her approval ratings drop to record lows, and there are street protests calling for her impeachment - even though no legal argument has been presented against her. Many in the Workers' Party see Lula as the only possible politician who could defeat the opposition and keep Brazil's left in power, and there have been calls for him to make a comeback. The former president is a towering love-him-or-hate-him figure in Brazilian politics, but recent reports have taken a toll, and polls suggest his image has been tarnished. Under fire from all sides, Mr Odebrecht is fighting back from the small cell in the city of Curitiba where he is being held. Some of those involved in the Petrobras probe have struck plea bargains with the authorities, offering confessions in return for shorter prison sentences. But not 47-year-old Mr Odebrecht. He says he is determined to clear his company's name even if it means confronting the system. He is taking on the authorities, accusing them of turning the Petrobras probe into a "judicial reality TV show". Several days ago, a judge ordered Mr Odebrecht to explain some of his notes that had been seized in which he apparently referred to politicians both in government and in the opposition. Mr Odebrecht's lawyers said they would not explain anything to a judge with "merchant's ears". Before his arrest in June, Mr Odebrecht had defended Brazil's policy of promoting companies abroad with BNDES money, saying the support created jobs and wealth for Brazilians. Meanwhile, the company keeps on building, even with its boss behind bars. It is involved in some of Brazil's most ambitious projects, such as the Rio Olympics, the Belo Monte dam in the Amazon and procurement of the country's first nuclear submarine. As the case against Mr Odebrecht advances, there will be a lot more at stake than just his own future or that of his company. The 14-time Grand Slam champion and top seed won a first-set tiebreak and saved two set points in the second, but was beaten 6-7 (6) 7-6 (3) 6-4. "I lost an opportunity," Nadal said. "I have to accept it and keep working to try to change the dynamic." World number 45 Cuevas will meet the unseeded Guido Pella in the final. The Argentine won 6-1 6-4 against Austrian fifth seed Dominic Thiem, who beat world number five Nadal in the last four of the Argentina Open last week. The consecutive semi-final defeats for Nadal continue a disappointing season, which began with a first-round loss to Fernando Verdasco in the Australian Open. "I didn't win a title, so it wasn't a positive two tournaments," the 29-year-old Spaniard said. "I had my chances in both but I just have to look forward."

He has announced a review into why so few anti-microbial drugs have been introduced in recent years. Economist Jim O'Neill will lead a panel including experts from science, finance, industry, and global health. It will set out plans for encouraging the development of new antibiotics. The prime minister said: "If we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again." Mr Cameron said he discussed the issue at a G7 leaders meeting in Brussels earlier this month and got specific support from US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. It is hoped that the review panel's proposals will be discussed at next year's G7 summit, which will be hosted by Germany. "Penicillin was a great British invention by Alexander Fleming back in 1928," Mr Cameron told the BBC. "It's good that Britain is taking the lead on this issue to solve what could otherwise be a really serious global health problem." He said the panel would analyse three key issues: the increase in drug-resistant strains of bacteria, the "market failure" which has seen no new classes of antibiotics for more than 25 years, and the over-use of antibiotics globally. It is estimated that drug-resistant strains of bacteria are responsible for 5,000 deaths a year in the UK and 25,000 deaths a year in Europe. Chief Medical Officer for England Prof Dame Sally Davies has been a key figure helping to get the issue on the government and global agenda. Last year she described the threat of antimicrobial resistance as a "ticking time bomb" and said the dangers it posed should be ranked along with terrorism. She spoke at a meeting of scientists at the Royal Society last month which warned that a response was needed akin to efforts to combat climate change. Dame Sally said: "I am delighted to see the prime minister taking a global lead by commissioning this review. "New antibiotics made by the biotech and pharmaceutical industry will be central to resolving this crisis which will impact on all areas of modern medicine." Medical research charity the Wellcome Trust is providing £500,000 of funding for Mr O'Neill and his team, which will be based at their headquarters in central London. Antimicrobial resistance has been a key issue for Jeremy Farrar, since he became director of the Wellcome Trust last year. "Drug-resistant bacteria, viruses and parasites are driving a global health crisis," he said. "It threatens not only our ability to treat deadly infections, but almost every aspect of modern medicine: from cancer treatment to Caesarean sections, therapies that save thousands of lives every day rely on antibiotics that could soon be lost." Antibiotics have been an incredible success story, but bacteria eventually develop resistance through mutation. One example is MRSA, which has been a major threat for years in hospitals. It is resistant to all but the most powerful of antibiotics, and the main weapon against it is improved hygiene, which cuts the opportunity for infection to spread. Without antibiotics a whole raft of surgical procedures would be imperilled, from hip replacements to cancer chemotherapy and organ transplants. Before antibiotics, many women died after childbirth after developing a simple bacterial infection. Mr O'Neill is a high-profile economist who is best-known for coining the terms Bric and Mint - acronyms to describe countries which are emerging and potential powerhouses of the world economy. He is not, though an expert on antibiotics or microbes. But Mr Cameron told the BBC it was important to have an economist heading the review: "There is a market failure; the pharmaceutical industry hasn't been developing new classes of antibiotics, so we need to create incentives." Jeremy Farrar said: "This is not just a scientific and medical challenge, but an economic and social one too which would require analysis of regulatory systems and behavioural changes to solve them." Mr O'Neill will begin work in September and is expected to deliver his recommendations next spring. Last month antibiotic resistance was selected as the focus for the £10m Longitude Prize, set up to tackle a major challenge of our time. More than 560 MEPs voted in favour of the resolution, compared with 11 against. The motion was raised by Irish politicians criticising the Egyptian government's treatment of Mr Halawa. He was arrested aged 17 during a siege on the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013, and could face the death penalty. The possibility of a death sentence for Mr Halawa, who was a minor at the time of his arrest, was criticised by the resolution. The motion said that capital punishment for a minor was a violation of international human rights law. Egyptian authorities alleged that Mr Halawa attended two illegal protests 16 and 17 August 2013 during a family holiday. He has strongly denied the charges and said he was taking refuge from violent clashes between security forces and protestors in the Cairo mosque. Now aged 20, Mr Halawa's trial was postponed for the tenth time on 15 December. His case is being heard alongside 493 other defendants, a move that his legal counsel have said constitutes a violation of his human rights. His next trial date is 19 December. The European Parliament's resolution makes a number of criticisms of the Egyptian government's treatment of Mr Halawa. They include: The European Parliament said it was deeply concerned about the "unacceptable breach of basic human rights." Mr Halawa's solicitor said they were "delighted" at the European Parliament's move. "The resolution signifies the context of Ibrahim's detention against the wider backdrop of human rights abuses in Egypt, and the continuing failure to uphold the very basic human rights enshrined in international law," he said. Mr Halawa's legal team have raised concerns about his treatment during his time in custody, alleging that his human rights have been violated. They maintain that he endured torture, inhumane treatment and was denied access to his legal counsel. Mr Halawa was on a family holiday to Egypt when he and his three sisters were arrested during a crackdown on protestors in the country's capital. His sisters were allowed to return to Dublin in November 2013. Northampton Borough Council sold the statue of Sekhemka in 2014 to fund expansion of its museum. Ambassador Nasser Kamel, alongside campaigners in both countries, wants to save the statue for UK and Egyptian display. The embassy has suggested it purchases the artefact with a view to loaning it to the British Museum. The UK government, which has the power to grant an export licence, said any buyers have until 29 March to put up the cash. The ambassador told the Art Newspaper: "One idea is for the Egyptian embassy in London to own and then loan the statue for six months at a time to the British Museum in London and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo." The statue, believed to be of a high court official, dates from 2400-2300BC. The Save Sekhemka group said: "The ambassador's suggestion shows the level of anger the sale of Sekhemka aroused and commitment to keeping the statue in the public domain in the two nations." Culture Minister Ed Vaizey placed a temporary export bar on the limestone statue because it was considered to be the finest example of its kind anywhere in the world. The deferral period was granted to allow a potential purchaser in the UK to raise the money to buy back the statue. A Department for Culture, Media and Sport spokesperson said: "All interested parties have until 29 March to raise the funds to purchase the Sekhemka statue." Plaid Cymru said it wanted an "alternative vision" of banking that "does not abandon its customers". The party said a further 36 branches were expected to close in 2017. The Welsh Government said banking regulation was not devolved "but we expect banks to offer services to customers across Wales and to not disadvantage rural communities". AM Adam Price, Plaid's party economy spokesman, said a people's bank would be a "network of locally owned" banks similar to that seen in other European countries. "I think it's time for us to think of an alternative model... which actually uses the money which you and I put into our bank accounts," he said. "That's there then to flow out into lending to other local citizens and businesses so we can drive the future of our economy." Mr Price said there would be a role for the Welsh Government potentially through the planned Development Bank for Wales, "to act as a hub". A Welsh Government spokeswoman said: "As part of our work to improve financial services for businesses we are establishing a new Development Bank of Wales with a dedicated intelligence unit to better target financial services and advice for micro, small and medium sized businesses in Wales." In a debate on Wednesday, Plaid Cymru will call on Welsh ministers to examine the steps needed in regulations and new laws to set up alternative models of banking. The past few months have seen a steady stream of branch closures announcements. In January, HSBC announced nine branches were to close in Wales, while the previous month NatWest revealed it was shutting nine north Wales banks. In November, Lloyds Bank said it was shutting 10 branches. He was expected to plunge 12,000ft (3,658m) into Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent before addressing constituents. "It seems that I am too heavy to jump. Yet another tragic victim of this country's obesity epidemic," he said. Murray is contesting the South Thanet seat where he is taking on UKIP leader Nigel Farage in the general election. Mr Murray learned at the aerodrome that he was heavier than the 14st 7lb (92kg) limit. Dressed in his trademark burgundy blazer, he said he was unaware of his weight. "I'm a true British man - I neither cry nor weigh myself on scales. Those are my values," he said. In a statement, Murray, whose character is based around a love for all things British, said: "My life is being held back by health and safety gone mad. "Gone are the days that a British citizen could throw themselves out of a plane regardless of the risk. "I hope, however, that this settles once and for all the issue of whether I am a political heavyweight." He complained about being weighed on metric scales, adding they proved conclusively the "dead hand of Brussels" on the British way of life. Oxford-educated Murray launched a plan in January to reach Parliament. He pledged the UK will leave Europe by 2025 "and the edge of the Solar System by 2050". He promised to tackle crime by locking up all unemployed people and to stop people reaching the shores of "the greatest country in the world" by bricking up the Channel Tunnel. He also promised to introduce "1p a pint" but to keep crisps at the current price. PC Dave Wardell and his German shepherd Finn were attacked in Stevenage in October while responding to an earlier report of a robbery. The 16-year-old from London, who cannot be named because of his age, was found guilty of actual bodily harm against PC Wardell and criminal damage in relation to PD Finn. He will be sentenced next month. PC Wardell and Finn were attacked in the early hours of 5 October in Denton Road in the Hertfordshire town. 'I begged the vet to save my boy' More on this and other news from Hertfordshire The seven-year-old dog, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire dog unit, was stabbed with a 30cm (12in) hunting knife in the head and chest and underwent four hours of emergency surgery to save his life. Magistrates at Stevenage Youth Court heard the blade narrowly missed the police dog's heart. The officer's hand was stabbed and he was treated in hospital and released. A teenager from Lewisham, south-east London, was arrested and charged the following day. At an earlier hearing he admitted possession of a knife and an imitation firearm but denied attacking Finn and PC Wardell. Appearing at his one-day trial with his mother, the boy told magistrates he was acting in self-defence, fearing for his safety and being "bitten up" by the dog. PC Wardell broke down in court as he described the attack, and "the largest knife" he had ever seen. "I was in fear of my life, and in fear of Finn dying in front of me," he said. "Finn is one of the highest trained dogs in the police force, I wished neither Finn nor myself were in that garden, but we were." District Judge Jo Matson told the defendant she found his evidence "not credible or truthful". "Stabbing a dog you know to be a police dog and lunging a knife at a police officer were not necessary or proportionate," she said. The teenager is expected to be sentenced at court in Bromley, south London, on 6 June. PC Wardell and Finn have now recovered from their injuries, and returned to work together just before Christmas. PD Finn, now aged eight, retired from active duty at the end of March. Scans reveal that while memory champions' brains are nothing special in terms of anatomy, they do show changes in brain connectivity. What's more, neuroscientists were able to train people with ordinary memory skills to emulate the masters. The learners could remember lists of names at a time and showed similar brain connectivity patterns. "A good memory is something you could learn and you could train (for)," said lead researcher, Dr Martin Dresler, of Radboud University Medical Centre in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. "And if you use these strategic mnemonic training memory strategies you can really considerably increase your memory, even if you have a very bad memory at the start." The findings , based on brain scans of 23 world memory champions, are published in the scientific journal, Neuron. They are based on mnemonics, memory devices that help you recall lots of information, especially in the form of lists. Techniques include loci, or memory palace, an ancient method where you make an imaginary journey through a place you know well, such as a building, using each location as a visual prompt to store information. Neuroscientists studied the brains of memory champions, who excel at memorising vast quantities of information, from playing cards to names and faces. They scanned their brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which measures brain activity by detecting blood flow changes. They then compared their brains with those of people of a similar age who had similar IQs. The researchers found subtle differences in connectivity patterns across a large number of brain regions. However, no single region stood out. "There we learned that neurobiological differences between these world class memory champions and more or less normal control subjects appear to be quite widespread, distributed and subtle," Dr Dresler explained. The scientists then trained people with typical memory skills to see if they could improve. Some were given training in techniques used by memory athletes, others had memory training that did not include mnemonic strategies, while the rest had no training at all. After six weeks of training for 30 minutes a day, the subjects all had another brain scan. The researchers saw a big increase in memory powers for those given training used by memory athletes. They went from recalling an average of 26 to 30 words from a list of 72 to remembering more than 60. This group also showed changes in brain connectivity. "In a sense they really develop brain patterns that remind us of those of memory athletes," said Dr Dresler. "This specific pattern in brain connectivity appears to be the neurobiological basis of these increased and superior memory performances." Neuroscientist Dr Boris Nikolai Konrad had his own brain scanned for the research and trained the novices. He holds two world records for memorising hundreds of words, and names and faces, in a short time and is also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Despite this, he says he wasn't born with exceptional memory skills. "In school, I nearly failed because I couldn't remember English vocabulary," he told BBC News. "It took me a while to realise that there's something that helps me in memorising, particularly these memory techniques. "I really love sharing this idea that you can improve your memory because I still don't know why we don't teach this to kids, to people, much more, because in my opinion it is really useful." Prof Michael Anderson of the department of neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, who is not connected with the research, said we have known about the power of such methods since the time of the ancient Greeks. "Dresler and Konrad have not only elegantly illustrated how readily this superior memorisation ability can be trained, but also have taken the important step of identifying the changes in the brain that accompany it," he said. But he said the benefits of the training are likely to be restricted to cases in which people consciously apply the trained strategy. Thus, "it remains to be seen whether people experience global improvements in everyday memory". Follow Helen on Twitter. They flew from Buckingham Palace to the Norfolk estate by helicopter to start their Christmas break. The royal couple had been due to take a train on Wednesday to King's Lynn en route to Sandringham. But they remained in London due to their illnesses. On Tuesday, the Queen, 90, and the Duke of Edinburgh, 95, hosted a festive lunch for the Royal Family - a tradition they carry out before travelling to their private estate each year. Prince William was seen arriving with the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and three-year-old Prince George. The Queen's annual Christmas Day message, which is recorded in advance, is due to be broadcast on 25 December at 15:00 GMT on BBC One and BBC Radio 4. The palace announced on Tuesday that the Queen would be stepping down as the patron of 25 national organisations. Her patronages will be passed on to other royals, although she will still be patron of hundreds of other organisations. The royal ritual By Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent When it comes to ill-health, the royals and their advisers don't disseminate too much detail. The head of state and her husband, they argue, are entitled to the same privacy as any other individual. The heavy colds that delayed their departure from Buckingham Palace had clearly improved enough to allow the 90-year-old monarch and the 95-year-old duke to make the journey. They can now take part in the royal ritual, which was started by Queen Victoria, of opening presents on Christmas Eve. The nature of their recovery will be in evidence the next day when the dedicated tend to gather at Sandringham for a glimpse of the Windsors going to church. The Queen is normally driven there on Christmas Day. In the past, Prince Philip - even when recovering from serious ailments - has favoured walking the short distance from his wife's private Norfolk home. Read more from Peter Hunt. Earlier Prince Charles delivered BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day. He spoke out about the danger of religious persecution. Warning against a repeat of "the horrors of the past", the Prince of Wales said the rise of populist groups "aggressive" to minority faiths had "deeply disturbing echoes of the dark days" of the 1930s. Bashir Naderi, 20, had his deportation temporarily halted by a judge hours before he was due to board the plane in October. He has lived in Wales for 10 years after his mother paid traffickers to bring him to the UK. Girlfriend Nicole Cooper said the support had been incredible. "I do not think it will have a huge impact on his case, but it is helping us: it symbolises that it is not just us, as a family, that are fighting for Bashir," Ms Cooper told BBC Wales. "We didn't even know before this happened how people are treated, it has been horrifying to realise in such a horrific way that people go through this." Singers Cerys Matthews and Charlotte Church are among those who have signed the petition demanding Mr Naderi be allowed to remain in Wales. Mr Naderi, his girlfriend, family, friends and Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens handed over the 500-plus page document to a Home Office official in London on Friday. His solicitors are also hoping to submit his case for staying in the UK to the Home Office, but Ms Cooper said it could take up to three months for a decision to come back. "They are going to push the Home Office for a quicker decision - he has been waiting for this for 10 years," she said. "The last two months have just been the worst, the petition is something which is a more positive thing coming out of this situation." Mr Naderi, who celebrated his 20th birthday on New Year's Day, has lived in Cardiff since he was 10 but could be sent back to Afghanistan if his case is refused. The Cardiff and Vale College student recently told BBC Wales that he saw his father murdered by Taliban fighters outside his home when he was nine. "It happened right in front of me. If someone is being murdered right in front of you, you don't forget it," he said. After the death, his mother sold the family plot of land so her son could be smuggled out of the country and brought to the UK. He does not know whether she is still alive. Mr Naderi said he had no other family back in Afghanistan and feared for his own safety if he was forced to return. "I just want to stay in this country. This is my home town where I belong with my family," he said. Mr Naderi was arrested in October after reporting for a monthly sign-in at the Home Office and taken to a detention centre in Oxfordshire to await deportation. He was given an initial 14-day reprieve just hours before he was due to be forced on to a plane, after a judge ordered his release. He still has to report to the Home office every week while his case is being reviewed. "Every time I go in I am scared, I am frightened I am not going to come out again," added Mr Naderi. The Home Office said: "We do not routinely comment on individual cases." Gardaí (Irish police) supported by the Regional Armed Support Unit carried out a planned search on a house in the Crumlin area at about 19:00 local time. The heroin and a mixing agent were seized during the search. Other items including bagging equipment, weighing scales, documents and mobile phones were also seized. The arrested man is being held at Sundrive Road Garda Station.

The millionth finisher in the history of the race, which was first held in 1981, will cross the line on The Mall. The winners of the men's and women's races from 2015 - Eliud Kipchoge and Tigist Tufa - return this year. Live coverage on BBC One begins at 08:30 BST and there will be commentary on BBC Radio 5 live, as well as live text on the BBC sport website. As in many previous years, the field of elite athletes has a strong Kenyan presence. Kipchoge and Wilson Kipsang provided a thrilling finish 12 months ago, with Kipchoge out-sprinting his countryman up The Mall to win the men's race by five seconds. Dennis Kimetto came third to complete an all-Kenyan podium. All three are strongly tipped to be involved at the business end again on Sunday. In the women's race, Ethiopia's Tufa was a surprise winner ahead of Kenya's two-time champion Mary Keitany. They resume battle this weekend, with Keitany joined by high-quality compatriots Gladys Cherono, the winner of the 2015 Berlin Marathon, and Florence Kiplagat, who won last year's Chicago Marathon. Media playback is not supported on this device Runners may have to battle snow for the first time since the race was inaugurated in 1981. Forecasts suggest an icy spell is due to hit the capital over the weekend, but temperatures are not expected will not be low enough for any snow to settle. Still, that has not stopped one bookmaker offering odds of 100-1 for the race to be cancelled. While celebrities taking their place on the start line is nothing new, few will face the expectations of Dame Kelly Holmes. The only British woman to win two track gold medals at the same Olympic Games is 1-4 favourite to record the best time of the all the famous participants, ahead of former rugby union international Shane Williams, Games of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer and Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett. "I'm hoping I just run round but if I end up having to walk for whatever reason then I'm going to have to deal with that," said Holmes. "When I'm going down The Mall, I'll be sprinting like Usain Bolt and I'll be so proud of myself." Other celebrities taking part include Radio Two's Chris Evans, The Only Way is Essex's Bobby Norris and TV personality Judge Rinder. Media playback is not supported on this device Bedford grandmother Iva Barr, aged 88, is the oldest competitor in this year's race. She has been running marathons for "30-odd years" has took part in the first race in 1981. Her advice? "A good pair of shoes, nice comfortable clothes and start as slowly as you can - not much more than a fast walk - and then build it up from there." Twenty-seven officers were injured as they dealt with public disorder in east, north, and south Belfast, Newtownabbey and Portadown. In east Belfast, at least six blast bombs - homemade devices packed with explosives - were thrown at police. Since Friday, 71 officers have been injured and there have been 60 arrests. Police said some of the officers injured had suffered heat exhaustion as a result of the warm weather, heavy protective equipment and long shifts. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Secretary of State Theresa Villiers said: "We will not tolerate lawlessness on the streets of Belfast any more than we would tolerate it in any other UK city. "No stone will be left unturned in building the case for more arrests and more criminal convictions. "I am confident that for some that will mean that the next 12th of July holiday will be spent not out in the sunshine following the parades, but locked up in prison living with the consequences of their crimes." She said while the Orange Order's announcement of the suspension of its protest was welcome, it must now call it off completely. Of those arrested over four consecutive nights of violence, 32 have been charged. At about 19:00 BST on Monday, serious trouble began in east Belfast at a sectarian interface on the Newtownards Road. Officers fired two plastic baton rounds and deployed water cannon after they were attacked with petrol bombs, masonry and other missiles during five hours of sporadic violence in the area. Some of the blast bombs were thrown from the nearby loyalist Pitt Park area, according to police. A BBC journalist witnessed golf balls being thrown from the nationalist Short Strand area. The fourth night of trouble followed a controversial ruling by the Parades Commission, banning an Orange Order parade from marching past a sectarian flashpoint at Ardoyne, north Belfast on 12 July. In north Belfast on Monday evening, five officers sustained minor injuries after a pipe bomb was thrown at them on the Crumlin Road. Police said the device had been thrown from Brompton Park, in the nationalist Ardoyne area, at about 17:00 BST. The pipe bomb attack took place close to where up to 1,000 people were taking part in a loyalist protest against the parade ruling. A loyalist march walked to police lines along the Woodvale Road and then joined protesters at Twaddell Avenue. Police instructed that the march was an illegal parade and stopped it from going further. Elsewhere in north Belfast, there was trouble on the New Lodge Road, Woodvale Road and Mount Vernon areas. Eleven officers were injured when they were hit with masonry during rioting on the New Lodge Road. Two of them required hospital treatment. One officer was injured by masonry in Mount Vernon after trouble broke out after an earlier loyalist protest on the Shore Road. A car was hijacked and set on fire, as police cam under attack from petrol bombs and other missiles. In the south of the city, rival groups gathered close to Broadway and Glenmachan Street and a crowd of about 50 people threw stones at each other and the police. Petrol bombs were also thrown at North Queen Street, where a car was set on fire. Police said they had liaised with community representatives in north Belfast "in an effort to restore calm". In Portadown, nine officers were injured when they were hit with masonry, and two of them were taken to hospital. They were hurt during sectarian rioting in Corcrain Road, Charles Street and Park Road in the County Armagh town. A PSNI spokesman said officers were attacked by both sides, as fireworks, bottles and golf balls were thrown from opposing crowds. In County Tyrone, the A4 dual carriageway was closed during the early hours of Tuesday morning because a number of tyres had been set on fire. Traffic was diverted through Moygashel for several hours but the road has since reopened. Police in Londonderry dealt with a number of white line protests on the Glendermott and Limavady roads in the Waterside area on Monday night. Up to 90 people were involved in the protests, which took place from about 19:00 to 20:30 BST. They passed off without incident. During this period, police seized about 20 paint bombs in the city, believed to have been stashed by local youths. Police Service of Northern Ireland Superintendent Emma Bond, speaking about the pipe bomb in north Belfast, said: "We consider ourselves extremely fortunate that we are not dealing with a much more serious incident and that all of the officers were able to walk away from that situation unharmed. "We have appealed for calm in the area and I continue to do so. "I would appeal to anyone with influence in the community to exert it to ensure that the next few days pass off without incident." DUP assembly member William Humphrey said loyalist protesters had been demonstrating peacefully in the Twaddell Avenue area when the incident happened. He described the attack as an "attempt to injure and kill". Sinn Féin assembly member Gerry Kelly said the attack was "completely unacceptable" and "not supported by the vast majority of the community in Ardoyne". It emerged on Monday night that US Vice-President Joe Biden had expressed "deep concern at parade-related violence and attacks on police" in conversation with the Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson and the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. Matthew, who won the Women's British Open in 2009, features at the ANA Inspiration at Mission Hills Country Club, Rancho Mirage, California. The Scot was impressed with the low scoring in the Kia Classic, which was won by Lee Mi-rim on 13 under par - eight shots ahead of Matthew. "Women's golf is on the up, without a doubt," Matthew told BBC Sport. "It's definitely picked up a lot in the last 10 years. "There's been some great play, great scoring this year so far. Last week, the scoring usually is not particularly low in that golf course and the course was no different yet the scoring was super low. "Everyone's upping their game and I'll need to keep working away." Asked if she was relishing the challenge of keeping up, Matthew replied: "Yeah, absolutely." Of Mission Hills, the Scot said: "It's in great shape but it's what you expect here. "The fairways are good, the rough's thick. It's not ridiculous, once you get to mid-to-longer irons, it's a struggle. Obviously, key to try to keep it on the fairways because the greens are only going to get firmer. The greens are perfect. "I'm very excited. I've always enjoyed this course, enjoyed the place here. Very windy yesterday and today and I think, so they say, it's going to be windy Thursday, Friday so that'll be a challenge. "Everyone says you never get windy weather over here but I've played in enough wind over here. "In this kind of wind, these courses are kind of different - not designed for playing in very windy weather so it makes it more challenging. You can't run the ball up on as many holes as you can, perhaps, at home [in Scotland]." Catriona Matthew was speaking to Iain Carter Sabado Gigante, broadcast by Spanish language network Univision, will have its final show programme in September. The three-hour show drew more than two million US viewers on Saturday nights, and was also broadcast to more than a dozen countries in Latin America. It was created by Mario Kreutzberger, 74, a Chilean who plays the grinning presenter on the show, Don Francisco. No reason was given for the move but more details will be revealed on Saturday, an unnamed spokesman for the network told Associated Press news agency. The network said Don Francisco will continue to work on special programmes and a charity television event that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for disabled children. The show blends comedy, talent contests, interviews and human-interest stories and has been family viewing for decades. Over the years, US presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama have appeared as guests and singers Enrique Iglesias and Shakira have performed. "We join Mario's fans in wishing him all the best as he enters his next chapter", said Alberto Ciurana, president of programming and content for Univision. He called Kreutzberger "one of the most beloved and legendary entertainers in the world" and an "innovative and inspirational force in the television industry throughout his career". The "Together We Will" campaign is designed to address the low numbers of disabled people who regularly take part in sport or physical activity. A recent Sport England Active People Survey showed disabled people are half as likely to be active as non-disabled. Will Mellor, whose disabled sister died in 2013, is championing the initiative. The actor's sister had Marfan's syndrome, which affected her physically as well as impacting on her learning. "She sadly passed away in 2013 but I recall fondly how much we loved being active as a family together," he said. The campaign, which is organised by the English Federation of Disability Sport and eight National Disability Sports Organisations, also targets the friends and families of disabled people. It is also backed by Sport England. It will share first-hand experiences from people with a variety of different impairments and health conditions so others can learn from their stories, helping them to to choose activities they can enjoy. "I'm really looking forward to meeting our ambassadors and hearing their stories," added Mellor. "We can all make a positive change and support more people to reap the benefits of an active lifestyle." The campaign will run from July until September alongside a busy summer of sport, including the Olympics and Paralympics. For more information about Together We Will, visit the EFDS campaign page.

Mr Weston, from Nelson, Caerphilly county, was badly injured during the Falklands campaign. He said: "The Chilcot inquiry has been one of the worst episodes of political interference for any inquiry." Prime Minister David Cameron has expressed frustration about the delay and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the time taken was "getting beyond ridiculous". Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb called the delay "a disgrace". The inquiry is considering how UK forces came to participate in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its aftermath. Sir John said the two million word report would be finished in April and then given national security checks. Mr Weston, who suffered 46% burns to his body and face when the Sir Galahad came under fire in 1982, said: "It is an insult to the memories of every single person that died, every single family that suffered because of injury and because of death of their loved ones over there." The former Welsh Guard has echoed the frustrations of families about the time the publication has taken. Reg Keys, who lived in Gwynedd when his son L/Cpl Thomas Richard Keys died in Iraq, said he was "bitterly disappointed" with the publication date. Mr Weston added: "Whether Mr Chilcot can look at himself in the mirror in the morning and not feel ashamed, I don't know, but I think he should." Immigration New Zealand (INZ) said its website received 56,300 visits in a 24 hour period, an increase of almost 2,500%. The site has a daily average of 2,300 visits. Canada's immigration website also received a high amount of traffic on Wednesday, causing it to crash. Donald Trump secured a surprise victory in the presidential election. New Zealand Now's website, which contains information about living, working, studying and investing in the country, also saw a similar spike in traffic. "In the 24 hours up to 9am local time on Wednesday, NZ Now received 70,500 visits from the US compared to a usual daily average of 1,500 visits," said INZ marketing manager Greg Forsythe in a statement to the BBC. Online, some Americans expressed that their interest to move to New Zealand was a result of Mr Trump's victory. But not everyone from the country seemed to welcome Americans with open arms. Mr Forsythe added that some 7,287 registrations had been received from Americans in the past 24 hours as compared to a normal amount of 3,000 registrations. However, he added that these were purely "registrations of interest" and not visa applications. The 24-year-old Englishman, who was with Manchester United, Liverpool and Burnley as a youth, has signed a one-year contract at Fir Park. Sutton, who scored 13 goals last season, has joined St Johnstone. "I've asked for the number nine jersey as I like the pressure of expectations," said Fletcher. "I know the previous player wearing that number scored a lot, so my target is to not only match that but get more. "I'm a player who will work hard and I know where the goal is." Fletcher, who had spent spells on loan to Grimsby Town, Stockport County, Accrington Stanley, Crewe Alexandra and Yeovil Town, scored seven times in 32 appearances last season as York finished 18th in England's League Two. He finally left Burnley permanently to join York in 2013 but was out of contract and was released this summer. His arrival at Fir Park follows quickly after the addition of David Clarkson, the striker released by Dundee. Manager Ian Baraclough told his club website: "I've seen a fair bit of Wes and know exactly what he is capable of. "The club has also had him watched on several occasions and feel he is ready to add something different to our squad. "His game will suit the way we want to play and, along with David Clarkson, will add more competition. "This is just the beginning of the recruitment process though. "We've still got several more faces to come all across the park and we'll continue to work hard to do that as quickly as possible." The trial was stopped one week early in all 59 volunteers "as a measure of precaution", the University of Geneva Hospital said. The vaccine being tested is one developed by NewLink, and recently bought by Merck. There is currently no vaccine licensed for use to protect against Ebola. Two vaccines are currently being tested in humans in a number of countries. The side-effects in the Geneva trial were experienced by four volunteers. The hospital said human safety trials would resume on 5 January in up to 15 volunteers after checks had taken place to ensure the joint pain symptoms were "benign and temporary". "They are all fine and being monitored regularly by the medical team leading the study," the hospital said. Four trials of another Ebola vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline, in collaboration with the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, are also underway. The GMB Union claims Wood Treatment Limited is refusing to pay about 45 staff during the 30-day notice period for their redundancy. Four people are believed to have died in the fire on 17 July which reduced the mill in Bosley to rubble. Wood Treatment Limited said it would support employees "as best we can". A spokesperson declined to comment further on the union's claims. GMB Regional Officer Ray Carrick raised the grievance in a letter to the owners over the "non-payment of wages of staff during the current consultation period regarding potential redundancies". "These staff are still employees of your company," he wrote. "As such, they should be on continuous pay during this period." He added the failure to pay staff during consultation is "a breach of contract and an unlawful deduction of their wages and this will be vigorously challenged and pursued by the GMB." Referring to Wood Treatment Limited, one mill worker said: "It's just wrong... if they were my employees I'd be there, I would be sorting the stuff out. "I wouldn't be hiding behind the scenes and putting lawyers in front to mask what's going on." Michael Jones, leader of Cheshire East Council, said the owners of the company has the resources to help its employees. He said: "You've got a workforce traumatised, now is really not the best time to say to someone, 'you're not going to get paid again'. It's a little unnecessary. "I call upon the company to be a little bit more compassionate." The council has set up a drop-in centre in the village providing advice about employment and benefits. Temperatures reached 1,000C in the blast and it was described by rescuers as the "worst incident of its kind" in a decade. Four people unaccounted for after the blast were Derek Moore, 62, from Stoke-on-Trent, William Barks, 51, from Leek, Jason Shingler, 38, from North Rode, and Dorothy Bailey, 62. Will Barks, Derek Moore and Dorothy Bailey have been identified as victims. Other remains have been found. Jason Shingler, 38, is still missing. The Bosley Disaster Appeal Fund has raised more than £53,000 for the families of the victims and workers left without jobs. In a statement last week, Wood Treatment Limited said they "could not predict" when the factory will be operational again. An investigation continues into the cause of the explosion. Ruth Davidson of the Scottish Conservatives, Willie Rennie of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon and Jim Murphy from Scottish Labour will all take part. The Sunday Politics Scotland studio debate, presented by Gordon Brewer, will air at 11:35. It will be shown on BBC One Scotland. Elsewhere on the campaign trail, the Scottish Conservatives will focus on welfare, citing research appearing to show the Scottish public back them on the capping of benefits. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon will campaign in Paisley, where she will meet former Labour supporters who have moved to her party and set out an SNP "guarantee" to Labour voters. Scottish Labour will lead on pensions, warning full fiscal autonomy - which would see all taxes and welfare run by Holyrood and is supported by the SNP - would leave pensioners £1,000 a year worse off. Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie will challenge the SNP to abandon the "accelerated pathway" to another referendum, saying any uncertainty will damage the economy. What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election? Policy guide: Where the parties stand The two-car crash happened on the A937 at Marykirk in November 2013. Bojidar Katsarov was born after his mother was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. A possible case against one of the drivers, Chavdar Ivanov, was investigated, but the Crown Office said no further proceedings would be taken. A Crown Office spokesman told the BBC Scotland news website: "It is the duty of the Crown to keep cases under review. "After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances in this case Crown Counsel instructed that there should be no further proceedings taken." Mesut Ozil lashed the ball home from 12 yards for the Gunners' opener, before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drifted in from the right and scored with a low shot. Bournemouth played some slick football at times and had more attempts at goal, but their finishing was poor. Matt Ritchie was the chief culprit, with none of his five shots on target. Analysis: Why Arsenal should not fear defining month For Arsenal, who had not won in the league since 3 January, the relief was clear. They controlled the game with early possession before catching Bournemouth with a pair of swift strikes which rendered the contest a foregone conclusion. Ozil set the Gunners on their way with a powerful shot after Olivier Giroud had headed Aaron Ramsey's long pass into the German's feet. And Arsene Wenger's pre-match assertion that Oxlade-Chamberlain was in form and would offer good balance on the right proved prophetic when the winger came inside and his low shot went in via the far post. Again, Ramsey had a hand in the goal - the Welshman pulling the strings for the Gunners and giving Bournemouth a lesson in turning some eye-catching moves into ruthless attacks. Despite chasing the game in the second half, it took until stoppage time for Bournemouth to test Petr Cech, when the Arsenal keeper made a fine double save to deny Steve Cook and Harry Arter from low shots. Until then, it had been a succession of wayward pops at goal and intricate, but not incisive, approach play. Bournemouth should be applauded for their desire to pass the ball, create space and use the flanks but they lacked any presence up front. Lone striker Benik Afobe, who was signed from Wolves for a fee of about £10m, had scored in his last three games for the Cherries but failed to register a single effort on goal against his former club, before he was substituted after 76 minutes. Media playback is not supported on this device Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Sport: "We were slow out the blocks today, which is unlike us. If you give a team like Arsenal time on the ball they will punish you. "We were much-improved in the second half without getting that goal to put them under pressure. We kept going, kept fighting, and if we had got that goal back with say 20 minutes to go, it would have made for an interesting finish. We got into some really good positions without the cutting edge we have had in recent weeks." Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport: "We had a strong start, with good finishing and we controlled the game. We beat a good side, it was three difficult points but three very important points for us because we had not won for a while. "We lost a bit of our urgency in the second half. We lost the killer instinct to get the third goal and on top of that Bournemouth are physically a strong team."

Kent County Council (KCC) was found to have breached the teenager's human rights by failing to assess her, meet her needs or issue court proceedings. Council bosses disputed claims made against them but Mrs Justice Theis ruled in the girl's favour. The teenager's mother supported the damages claim against KCC. Mrs Justice Theis said the girl was placed into the temporary care of the council in December 2011 but bosses did not ask a family court judge to make decisions about her long-term future until November 2015. Lawyers representing the girl said KCC had breached her rights to respect for family life and to a fair trial enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. The girl was taken into care with her mother's consent because the mother was "unable to cope". In her ruling following a hearing in the High Court in London, the judge outlined a series of difficulties and said foster placements had broken down. She concluded that the council had acted unlawfully. Mrs Justice Theis said that in future the girl would stay in long-term foster care and remain in touch with family members. KCC accepted the findings and said it was regrettable the girl had experienced disruptions in terms of placement and social worker. "Happily she is now in a more settled position and we will continue to do our utmost to ensure that she receives the consistent levels of care and support she requires," said a spokesman. Figures show that 160 crimes involving under-10s were recorded by the force since 2011. However, anyone under the age of 10 cannot be legally held responsible for a crime. But the offence or allegation of a crime is still recorded by police. The figures, released after a Freedom of Information request, show that a six-year-old boy is believed to have raped a girl under 13 in 1997. The offence was registered in 2013. It was among four rapes recorded by the force in the last four years - the three other rapes involved suspects who were all aged nine. One of those took place in 1971, although it was recorded this year. Speaking on television, Gen Padrino said the plane had entered Venezuelan airspace near the Los Monjes archipelago on the Caribbean coast. The general alleged that the plane belonged to the US Coast Guard. But a US Coast Guard spokesman said none of their planes had been in the area at the time. "If there is an aircraft, it's not ours," Chief Warrant Officer Chad Saylor told Agence France Press news agency. He also called the Venezuelan allegation "unfounded". But Gen Padrino was adamant that the plane had "made circular search patterns and continued going southbound (...) violating Venezuelan airspace". Ties between the United States and Venezuela have improved since reaching a low point in March 2015, when the US imposed sanctions on a number of Venezuelan officials for alleged human rights abuses. However, Venezuela has repeatedly accused the US of meddling in its affairs. Critics of the Venezuelan government say that officials are trying to stoke patriotic fervour ahead of legislative elections on 6 December. President Nicolas Maduro said he would denounce what he called "unusual and extraordinary provocations" at the United Nations and other international bodies. "Venezuela won't be cowed, Venezuela is standing up and building its own political, economic and social model, and no one should meddle with that," he said. A new three-storey extension will provide six more gates and more space for shops and customs and immigration when it is finished next summer. Edinburgh Airport officials are expecting passenger numbers to go up by 16.5 million by 2021. The expansion is part of the airport's £220m capital investment programme. The extension will stretch from the existing gate 12 area, covering the old east end service yard, out to the Gogar Burn. Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport chief executive, said: "This is a major investment for the capital and Scotland and further establishes Edinburgh Airport as one of the most innovative and forward thinking airports in the UK. "We are Scotland's busiest airport and the fastest growing airport in the UK - and that demand is only going to grow with record numbers of passengers we expect to see passing through the terminal. "There have been times this summer where we've experienced busy periods that have impacted on our service and this investment in new facilities will ensure we have the infrastructure needed to handle more passengers and provide them with a positive experience whether arriving or departing. "As Scotland's gateway to the world, it's vital that we have first class infrastructure and we will continue to invest in that, creating more jobs, supporting the economy and opening up Scotland to the world." Nouri Maliki said "vital areas" of the city had been seized; some 150,000 people are believed to have fled. Troops fled Mosul as hundreds of jihadists from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) overran it. The US has said ISIS threatens not just Iraq, but the entire region. State department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the situation in Mosul, Iraq's second city, was "extremely serious" and that the US supported "a strong, co-ordinated response to push back against this aggression". Security sources also told the BBC on Tuesday that fierce fighting had erupted between Iraqi forces and ISIS fighters in a town called Rashad near Kirkuk, south-east of Mosul. In pictures: Iraqis flee Mosul How did Iraqi militants take over Mosul? In a televised announced, Mr Maliki said that security forces had been placed on a state of "maximum alert". He also said he had asked parliament to declare a state of emergency - which would broaden arrest powers and allow curfews to be imposed - and a "general mobilisation" of civilians. Analysis: Jim Muir, BBC News, Beirut Nouri Maliki, who is struggling to form a government in the wake of the April elections, has vowed to drive the ISIS "terrorists" out of mainly-Sunni Mosul in short order. He is unlikely to succeed soon. He made similar vows when Sunni militants took over Falluja, west of Baghdad, in January, and they are still there. It is not yet clear whether it is only ISIS involved in the Mosul takeover. In Falluja and its province, Anbar, Mr Maliki has clearly alienated many Sunni tribesmen and others, creating fertile soil for the radicals. Internet images of local youths and even children stoning Iraqi security vehicles as they fled Mosul suggest that the Shia PM is not popular there either. ISIS is also actively fighting in neighbouring eastern Syria to establish its control there, apparently aiming to straddle the border with an Islamic state. If Mr Maliki is to defeat the Sunni radicals, he may need the help of Kurdish forces from the north. That will come with a heavy price tag, and they have in any case so far refused. ISIS has been informally controlling much of Nineveh province for months and the past week has attacked cities and towns in western and northern Iraq, killing scores of people. After five days of fighting, they took control of key installations in Mosul, which has a population of about 1.8 million. On Tuesday, residents said jihadist flags were flying from buildings and that the militants had announced over loudspeakers they had "come to liberate Mosul". "The situation is chaotic inside the city and there is nobody to help us," said government worker Umm Karam. "We are afraid." Many police stations were reported to have been set on fire and hundreds of detainees set free. Iraqi parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi told journalists in Baghdad that "all of Nineveh province" had fallen to the militants who were now heading south towards Salaheddin province. He called on the Iraqi government and Kurdistan Regional Government to send reinforcements. Sources have told BBC Arabic that the tens of thousands of fleeing refugees are heading to three towns in the nearby region of Kurdistan where authorities have set up temporary camps for them. Kurdistan Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani issued a statement appealing to the UN refugee agency for help. Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) The Iraqi government is struggling with a surge in sectarian violence that killed almost 800 people, including 603 civilians, in May alone, according to the UN. Last year, more than 8,860 people died. Parts of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, and much of the nearby city of Falluja have been under the control of ISIS and its allies since late December, something that Mr Maliki has been unable to reverse. Also on Tuesday, the Turkish consulate in Mosul confirmed reports that 28 Turkish lorry drivers had been abducted by militants in Nineveh. Elsewhere, a double bomb attack targeting a funeral procession in the central town of Baquba killed at least 20 people, police said. Hull's Amy Johnson completed the journey from London to Darwin in 1930. To mark 75 years since her death, engineers from the University of Hull have worked with Glasgow School of Art to create a fully interactive digital 3D version of the pioneering pilot. It will be on display in Hull's Central Library as part of a festival celebrating her life and achievements. The "virtual Amy" was created using the same technology used in blockbuster Hollywood films. An actress was filmed using a motion tracking camera and her movements were transformed into the digital character. Rick Welton, the director of the Amy Johnson Festival, said: "The virtual Amy project showcases how the technology and engineering can be used to create something visually stunning. "The aim of the Amy Johnson Festival is to inspire people, especially women, to take an interest in engineering, as well as demonstrating how engineering blends with art and design." Amy Johnson was born in Hull in July 1903 and became an international celebrity after her 19-day flight to Australia. During World War Two she joined the Air Transport Auxiliary flying aircraft from factories to RAF airbases. She died in mysterious circumstances when her plane crashed in to the Thames Estuary on 5 January 1941. Her body was never found. Media playback is not supported on this device One of the most memorable moments of a very memorable summer in Rio came when Hollie Webb's winning penalty securing Great Britain a first Olympic hockey gold medal since 1988. And there's no doubting the impact it had on Wales' number one goalkeeper, Rose Thomas. "It was just incredible. I mean, stopping the news on BBC One, for hockey, that's just the goal," Thomas said. "You know you want it - and then you see them on the podium with a gold medal and you just think 'I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my life'," she told BBC Wales Sport. "You want to be there as well, sharing those moments, having that success." That was probably the feeling across the whole of Welsh hockey that night as not one male or female player from Wales had actually made the final GB squads. But that could change at Tokyo 2020 as Thomas is one of three Welsh players - Thomas, Sarah Jones and the men's team's Dan Kyriakides - to have been called up to the GB centralised programme this year. They'll be the first Welsh representatives in the GB setup since 2012 bronze medallist Sarah Thomas retired four years ago. "It's fantastic," said Sarah Thomas. "You always hope there would be more Welsh internationals involved in GB Hockey to have the experiences I had. "It'll give confidence to the other Welsh players and they'll think 'maybe I can get there too'." On paper, hockey in Wales has a long road ahead of it. Its women are ranked 32nd in the world - just behind Thailand - while the men lie behind Trinidad and Tobago in 34th. But those numbers don't tell the real story of the progress made in the last 12 months. For the first time, Wales's men and women have made it through to the second round of the World League, a vital qualifier on the road to World Cup qualification. Media playback is not supported on this device The women's tournament starts in Malaysia on Saturday, before the men head to Ireland in March. Both sides know good results could take them to the Commonwealth Games or even a World Cup. "That would be incredible," says women's head coach Kevin Johnson. "World Cup qualification for a country the size of ours would be an unbelievable achievement, but not insurmountable. "There's a desire and a motivation to be better here. I'm looking forward to seeing how far we can take this team." A key stop on the women's journey will be this summer's European Championships as it offers a rare chance to play at home. Cardiff is the host of the 2017 'B Division' Championships. If Wales make the final, they'd move up to international hockey's top table alongside England, Germany and Australia. The Wales men squad head to Glasgow for their European Championship and have the same end goal. "We haven't been in a place as good as this for a long, long time," explains men's head coach, Zak Jones, former Wales international. "We've got a proper strength and conditioning programme, more support behind the scenes. Even though the players aren't professional, we're definitely bridging that gap." Wales may not have had any players on the pitch in Rio, but don't think there hasn't been an impact on pitches back home. At Cardiff & Met - one of Wales's top club sides - membership is up 45%. At Gwent Hockey Club in Cwmbran they've had new goalkeepers join after watching Maddie Hinch's heroics in Brazil. But one of the challenges is making sure the facilities match the demand. "Hockey can't be played at a competitive level on 3G pitches so we've actually had to save a couple of Astroturf pitches," says Hockey Wales head of game growth, Debra Barker. "We're investing more into our clubs, but there's still work to do. "There are pockets where it's really strong and pockets in more rural areas where there are still issues with pitches." Inside Hockey Wales, they want to take Wales to the top table. But the final word has to go to the nation's last Olympic hockey player. "It's always going to be difficult," said Thomas. "We never have an enormous amount of players or funding. "But what we do have an abundance of is passion and determination. "With the girls starting the world league tournament in Malaysia this weekend, you'll see the determination and that element is really hard to teach. "So if we can do that and then build on our tactics and our fitness, I think we could become a really formidable team in the world." Kevin Hurley said the force had the highest rate of officers leaving in England. He wants the introduction of a "Surrey weighting", where police are paid more than the national rate. The Home Office said it would consider any recommendations made by the Police Remuneration Review Body. Speaking to BBC Surrey, Mr Hurley said: "We need to recruit 140 people this year and we've manage to recruit 32. "Additionally, our unplanned attrition has been 72 - it's therefore absolutely clear we are losing people quicker than we can recruit them. "All emergency services... are paid on national rates, but the cost of living is very different to Lincolnshire." There are currently 1,889 police officers in the force and 1,917 members of staff. Mr Hurley added: "You've got absolutely no chance whatsoever of buying a house in the county on police officers' pay." A Home Office spokesman said: "The Home Secretary will receive the first report of the Police Remuneration Review Body later this month and she will consider any recommendations it makes, including on regional pay. "Surrey Police officers can already be paid an extra £2,000 per year, at the discretion of the chief constable, as a south east allowance." Fans threw fake money at the 18-year-old during Italy Under-21s' 2-0 victory over Denmark on Sunday, and a banner referred to him as 'Dollarumma'. Donnarumma, whose contract expires next year, turned down a new deal last week. Milan chief executive Marco Fassone denied Raiola's claims. He added Raiola and his client's actions could have cost the club 100m euros. Raiola, speaking to the Italian media prior to Sunday's game, had alleged Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli had put pressure on Donnarumma by telling the goalkeeper he would "spend the season in the stands" if he did not sign. Raiola, who last summer brokered the deal that took Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba to Manchester United for a world-record fee, gave a briefing to three Italian outlets on Sunday, although the interview was not released until after Donnarumma had played. He alleged Milan had imposed a deadline of 13 June for Donnarumma to make a decision on the contract and treated him "like an asset". "I was wrong not to immediately stop this infernal machine - with that pounding we could not say yes," added Raiola. "We took a decision that we didn't want to take. It was nothing to do with money. We were threatened." Donnarumma broke into the Milan first team as a 16-year-old and has made almost 70 appearances for the club. "Gigio was initially convinced to stay at Milan, because at age 14 he chose those colours, after contacts with Inter Milan," said Raiola. "Now there is a genuine risk he could miss a year. His quality makes that improbable, but this is already on the verge of mobbing." Play was briefly halted during the first half of Sunday's European Under-21 Championship game in Krakow after supporters behind a goal threw fake dollar bills into the net. Italy Under-21 coach Gigi di Biagio said Donnarumma was not "unnerved" by the incident. He added: "He behaves as if he is 30 years old and he is capable of dealing with something which goes beyond football." In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Fassone said there were "no threats" from Mirabelli that Donnarumma would not play while his contract ran down. "Our position is clear - Donnarumma is not for sale, so will play next season at Milan," said Fassone. "But we cannot risk anything and we are obliged to look for another goalkeeper. "The bitterness here has to do with the unpleasant way the situation was handled - it could've been done without damaging the club, but by leaving like this, they have cost Milan 100m euros." He added that if Donnarumma reversed his decision and stayed, he would be welcomed with "open arms" by the club and eventually its fans. Sir John Leslie was presented with the Legion d'Honneur at the French embassy in Dublin on Monday. The 98-year-old is a cousin of Winston Churchill. During WW2, he commanded a section of the British Army in a battle to defend Boulogne Sur Mer from the Germans. He was captured and spent five years in a German Prisoner of War (POW) camp. Better known as Sir Jack, the veteran said he was accepting the award "on behalf of all soldiers from the island of Ireland who fought and died between the two great wars". He is a member of an aristocratic family that owns Castle Leslie in the Republic of Ireland, the County Monaghan stately home that hosted the wedding of Beatles singer Paul McCartney and Heather Mills in 2002. His grandmother was a sister of Churchill's mother, making him a first cousin once removed of the former British prime minister. Sir Jack joined the British Army when he was 21, enlisting with the Irish Guards in 1937, two years before WW2 began. During his time in POW camp, he risked his life to send a postcard to Churchill, asking his cousin to agree to a prisoner exchange in a bid to free some of his comrades who had become ill in captivity. After travelling the world on his release at the end of the war, Sir Jack returned to live at Castle Leslie in his 70s, when he became a regular visitor to County Monaghan nightclubs. The pensioner is famed for his love of dancing to rave music, and celebrated his 85th birthday in the world's biggest nightclub in Ibiza. Now just weeks away from his 99th birthday, he was presented with the Legion d'Honneur by the French Minister for Veterans and Remembrance, Jean-Marc Todeschini. The minster said Sir Jack epitomised "the friendship and the memory of the Irish soldier". "You said you were only doing your duty," said Mr Todeschini. "But it was far more than your duty that you accomplished because you committed your life for the survival of your country, of France, of Europe and of your comrades. "For me it is an honour to convey to you today, such a special day for Ireland, the eternal recognition of France." Adam Ingham, a director of Circus Zyair, said they will never perform that part of the act again. Ben Garnham, 37, from Blackwood, Caerphilly county, was taken to hospital after a backflip attempt by Benji the clown misfired. Mr Garnham met the clown in Carmarthen on Friday night after being given free tickets to the show there. The self-employed DJ told BBC Wales: "I'm glad I could meet Ben last night - I gave him a big hug just to reassure him, I don't have any animosity towards him and I've made a really good friend. "I never expected the video to get so big, I'm glad it did from the point of view of getting the safety message over - if it saved someone from being paralysed somewhere else in the future it can only be a good thing." The circus was also criticised for the way the clown and other circus staff carried Mr Garnham backstage. Mr Ingham said it was an "unfortunate accident and it shouldn't have happened". He said the circus always had at least two qualified first-aiders on hand and he "completely understood" the criticism of how Mr Garnham was removed from the ring. Mr Ingham said it was "obviously a panicked response from somebody who didn't know what they were doing". "We are all devastated. We would never wish this on anybody and we are very grateful that he is OK." The clown has been doing the back flip stunt for more than 10 years without any accidents, Mr Ingham added. The circus has reviewed its procedures and training and stopped audience participation. The incident, which involved about 10 people, happened in Mossvale Way, Craigend, at about 11:50 on Saturday. The victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment. His condition is not yet known. Police are trying to identify those involved and are appealing to local residents to contact them with any information. Det Juan Carlos Arias De Leon said those involved had been attending a party at a flat in the street. "At this stage, we don't know why the disturbance broke out," he said. "However, a young man has been seriously injured and it's imperative we find whoever is responsible. "Local people would have heard and seen this disturbance which took place around lunchtime on Saturday. "This area is heavily populated and I am appealing to anyone who has any information or knowledge regarding the incident to get in touch with us." The last time Tim Cook took to screens in the US, it was because of a looming crisis with the government over encryption. On Monday, it was because of a looming crisis on Wall Street. Last week, I reported on how Apple had suffered its first quarter of negative growth for 13 years. Since that news came out, Apple's stock price has been dropping, for eight consecutive days, the first time that's happened to the company since 1998. So naturally, Apple is trying to stem the flow. Mr Cook appeared on Mad Money, a CNBC show presented by the charismatic Jim Cramer. Mr Cramer presents his show like a sports broadcaster might, with sleeves rolled up and a shout-shout-shout interview style that is a rite of passage for America's top CEOs. It's arguably the toughest interview Mr Cook has ever subjected himself to - although that's not exactly saying much. Still, Mr Cramer was blunt: After a bad quarter, and warnings of another one on the way, is Apple on the way out? "I think that's a huge overreaction," Mr Cook replied. "We just had an incredible quarter by absolute standards, but not up to the Street's expectations, clearly." Concerns about the iPhone being "dead" are unfair, Mr Cook argued, as the mediocre (by Apple's standards) sales of the iPhone 6S range are only poor when put into the context of incredibly good iPhone 6 sales the year before. Mr Cook insisted that Apple wasn't losing its popularity with consumers. He made reference to Apple's impressive customer retention rates - if you're an iPhone user your far more likely to get another iPhone than head to another device from Samsung or similar. Which is true, but it's in hardware sales where Apple makes its serious money. So, if the iPhone is slowing, it needs another hit. "We're going to give you things that you can't live without that you just don't know about today," Mr Cook said. "That has always been the objective of Apple." He went on to suggest the company's newest line, the Apple Watch, was that hit. "I think in a few years we will look back, and people will think 'How could I ever thought about not wearing this watch?'" he said, adding that the Watch is only on sale in 14,000 stores worldwide, leaving plenty of room for growth. "We're still in learning mode," he added. "We're learning quickly. You'll see the Apple Watch get better and better." The question is whether Mr Cook's confidence was true faith in the product, or a brave face. The company still hasn't told us how the Watch is performing, but analysts suggest about four million smartwatches were sold in the first three months of 2016, up three million on this time last year. Apple Watch's accounted for just over two million of them. Pretty incredible by any other company's standards (Samsung has around 14% of the smartwatch market, for example) but minuscule compared to the 70 million iPhones shipped in the same period. So, if it's not the Watch, then what's next? "We don't talk about futures as a company," Mr Cook told CNBC. "We don't talk about products on the roadmap. I'm incredibly excited about things we're working on. I don't want to be more specific than that." Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC and on Facebook The Money Advice Trust, which runs the National Debtline service, said that less than a third of people it surveyed had a budget for the festive period. It added that a third would be borrowing to pay for Christmas costs. Various advice services say that building up a savings buffer is key to paying for expensive times of year. Selling unwanted items can also raise some last-minute cash, they add. "Money worries can have a huge impact on your life at any time - but the fact that they are putting Christmas at risk for up to five million people shows what an extremely difficult time of year this can be," said Joanna Elson, chief executive of the Money Advice Trust. "This is also, of course, a busy time of year - and it is easy to see why many people don't want to deal with financial problems in December. "However, our research shows there are millions of people worrying about Christmas finances who could benefit from seeking advice now, to start to resolve their financial problems. Three-quarters of callers to National Debtline tell us they feel less stressed as a result - and often that first step is the hardest to take." Recent research suggested that Christmas dinners and trees had been falling in price in real terms compared with previous years, but the Bank of England warned that "vigilance" was needed over levels of personal debt which have been accelerating recently. Matt Barlow, chief executive of Christians Against Poverty, said: "The average annual household income of our clients is around £14,000 so it takes very little to push people into a crisis situation and, sometimes, the pressure to spend at Christmas does just that." A government-commissioned school food review by two founders of the Leon restaurant chain says take-up is low at 43% despite huge quality improvements. Packed lunches are nearly always less nutritious than a cooked meal, say the authors of the School Food Plan. Revised food-based standards are to be tested and introduced from 2014. These are likely to replace the extremely stringent guidelines which control the regularity with which food groups and processed items are offered. The report describes the process by which they are applied as a "finnicky" one and claims staff need to use a computer program to implement them. It added: "Many caterers told us they spent hours fiddling about with recipes trying to make the computer say 'yes', only to see children make a mockery of their efforts by assembling a plate full of food that looks nothing like their efforts." The new standards will be applied them to maintained schools and all new academies and free schools, the Department for Education said. Head teachers are also being urged to lower the price of lunches to boost take-up. This might include providing subsidised meals for reception classes in primary schools and Year 7 classes in secondary schools, the report says. And there are calls for free meals to be extended to all primary schools, starting in the most deprived areas of England. The government says it will investigate the case for extending free school meals entitlement. The Department for Education ordered the review by restaurateurs Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent into the state of school meals in 2012 following strong criticism from TV chef Jamie Oliver, who earlier led a successful campaign to ban junk and processed food from school canteens. This resulted in tight nutritional guidelines and healthy eating policies in many schools for those bringing packed lunches. But in 2011 he claimed that standards were being eroded because academies and free schools were exempt from national nutritional guidelines. Education Secretary Michael Gove said: "What I'd like to see is more children eating school lunches and fewer having packed lunches, and more children feeling healthier and more energetic throughout the day." 'Turkey twizzler' Parents' angst over packed lunches Mr Dimbleby told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that school food had improved since the "dark days of the turkey twizzler," but that the proportion of children eating school meals was not high enough. He stressed that more than half of children brought packed lunches into schools but that around two-thirds contained crisps or confectionery. "The best schools, the schools with good food, find ways of making packed lunches the least exciting option," he added. If packed lunches were banned, schools would be able to provide better meals at a cheaper price, and this would help boost children's performance, he argued. Packed lunches are understood to be banned in just a very small number of schools, but the DfE insists it is possible and that many schools do not realise that. Mr Dimbleby later told reporters: "I would ban packed lunches if it was my school but I think there are other ways. There's a strong libertarian streak in the English and some head teachers might think that's a battle they don't want to fight." The review suggests that items such as sugary drinks, crisps and confectionery be forbidden from lunch boxes. In reality many schools already have healthy packed lunch policies banning such items. General secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers Russell Hobby said he felt it probably was not feasible for schools to ban packed lunches. He thought it was right, instead, to focus on making school meals more attractive in terms of cost and access as well as nutritional content, taste and presentation. He added: "It is hard for students to concentrate on learning when they haven't eaten enough or when they've eaten the wrong things. The benefits from investing in decent cooked meals are huge: better learning and better habits later in life; a calm and sociable lunch hall also sets a tone for the rest of the day." The Association of School and College Leaders general secretary Brian Lightman added: "While encouraging all students to eat a nutritious hot lunch is the right aim, it is not always feasible. Many hardworking families on relatively low incomes give their children packed lunches because they don't qualify for free school meals and the cost of a school dinner would be prohibitive." Labour said exempting academies had allowed junk food to "creep back" into schools and it urged the government to enforce food standards across the board. Shadow children's minister Sharon Hodgson said when the country was in the middle of a childhood obesity crisis, it was important that schools were doing their part to improve diets. "Labour vastly improved the quality of school food after Jamie Oliver's important campaign." But she accused David Cameron and Michael Gove of deliberately undermining that progress by exempting academies and free schools from Labour's rules. Labour also pointed out that academies and free schools set up between 2010 and Jan 2014 would be under no obligation to sign up to the food standards Other recommendations include: After-school cooking lessons for parents and children, more schools to have stay-on-site rules for break and lunch time, and for teachers to be encouraged to sit in the dining hall with children. And there is to be a £16m cash injection to boost the take-up of meals. The report comes as the obesity rate among children at the end of primary school has risen to almost one in five. Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, said all children in poverty should receive a free school meal and urged the government to use its planned consultation on the future of free school meals to make sure no child in poverty misses out. Linda Cregan, head of the Children's Food Trust, said: "The pledge of funding to give thousands of schools practical help with increasing take up is very welcome, as is investment to create new breakfast clubs in places where children are in greatest need. "At a time when so many families on low incomes are struggling with the costs of food, we look forward to progress on the commitments to look at extending free school meals to more children and the call for universal free school meals in all primary schools." Des McDaid, who has waived his right to anonymity, was giving evidence to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry. He had travelled from St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca in Derry to the Clontarf orphanage in Perth, when he was eight. He said there was a lot of brutality at the Clontarf home and a number of brothers sexually abused the boys. He said he was sexually abused by older boys, members of the Christian Brothers religious order and a lay teacher. Mr McDaid, who is originally from County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, told the inquiry: "The big thing I want you to remember is the helplessness." He said he was one of 16 boys shipped to Australia in 1953. Local authority homes: • Lissue Children's Unit, Lisburn • Kincora Boys' Home, Belfast • Bawnmore Children's Home, Newtownabbey Juvenile justice institutions: • St Patrick's Training School, Belfast • Lisnevin Training School, County Down • Rathgael Training School, Bangor Secular voluntary homes: • Barnardo's Sharonmore Project, Newtownabbey • Barnardo's Macedon, Newtownabbey Catholic Church-run homes: • St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca, Londonderry • Nazareth House Children's Home, Derry • Nazareth House Children's Home, Belfast • Nazareth Lodge Children's Home, Belfast • De La Salle Boys' Home, Kircubbin, County Down He said he was raped by an older boy at the Termonbacca boys home and he was abused by others in Australia. Using a video link from Australia, he said: "I had a lot more of it over here, from the Christian Brothers etc." Mr McDaid said he had traced his mother when he was 48 but he said he was worried she would not accept him. Her first words to him were: "Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me". The inquiry, sitting in Banbridge, County Down, heard that he is still in touch with his mother and will be visiting her next month. On Monday, the inquiry heard that 131 children from Northern Ireland, some as young as five, were sent to Australia as child migrants. The experiences of 50 of them will be heard by the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry (HIA) either by oral or written evidence. It is examining the extent of child abuse in religious and state-run institutions in NI from 1922 to 1995. Azhar Ahmed, 19, of Ravensthorpe, West Yorkshire, was charged with sending a grossly offensive communication. He told Huddersfield Magistrates Court he accepted the message had been "unacceptable" but had denied it was "grossly offensive". The judge said his comments were "derogatory" and "inflammatory". The six soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Lashkar Gah on 6 March in the deadliest single attack on British forces in Afghanistan since 2001. Sgt Nigel Coupe, 33, of 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, was killed alongside Cpl Jake Hartley, 20, Pte Anthony Frampton, 20, Pte Christopher Kershaw, 19, Pte Daniel Wade, 20, and Pte Daniel Wilford, 21, all of 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment. The offensive message, which said "all soldiers should die and go to hell", was posted by Ahmed just two days later on 8 March. Ahmed told the court he was only trying to make his point that many other deaths in Afghanistan were being ignored and added he had no idea it would cause so much upset. He said he replied with apologies to many people who commented on his Facebook page and when some told him they had lost relatives in Afghanistan he realised how serious it was. "That's when I realised it was unacceptable for them to see something so upsetting and distressing, to write something like that," he added. District Judge Jane Goodwin said Ahmed's Facebook remarks were "derogatory, disrespectful and inflammatory". He will be sentenced later. The Society to Sustain and Support the Rural Countryside has raised money to buy the Pwllhai site in Cardigan, Ceredigion, by selling shares. It wants to build a car park for 100 vehicles, and hopes to develop a community shop to promote local goods. The group said it would exchange contracts for the site next month. A campaign was launched in June to buy the old farmers' co-op and surrounding buildings. So far, 300 people have bought shares at £200 each. The share offer has also been boosted by a bank loan. The society, a not-for-profit consortium, has the backing of the town's chamber of commerce and Ceredigion AM Elin Jones. Other backers said the project would breathe new life into the town centre. Society chair Shan Williams said: "This has been a fantastic achievement with local people taking control of local issues. "Many people have bought shares for their children to invest in the their future and the town's." Treasurer Cris Tomos said shareholders could receive a 5% dividend from the project. The share offer will remain open until contracts are exchanged at the end of September. The 31-year-old Australian was forced to pull out of the second Test against New Zealand after suffering from back spasms and is set to have a "lengthy" spell on the sidelines after surgery. Siddle had signed a two-year deal to play County Championship and 50-over cricket from this season. Director of cricket Mick Newell said Notts will sign a replacement. "It's obviously disappointing, most importantly for Peter himself, and we wish him well for his recovery," Newell said. "An experienced overseas bowler is a key position for us and we're confident of signing a player of sufficient quality in time for the start of the season." Siddle took 37 wickets at 31.48 in his previous spell with Notts in 2014. He has played 61 Test matches since making his debut in 2008, taking an Ashes hat-trick in 2010 and claiming four five-wicket hauls against England. Cricket Australia physiotherapist David Beakley said: "He will now require a significant amount of time away from the game with a lengthy rehabilitation process. "While he is laid off with his current back injury, we will take the opportunity for Peter to have exploratory surgery on his left ankle to investigate and treat the cause of his ongoing ankle pain. "Once that surgery is complete we will have a better idea of his prognosis and likely rehabilitation time frame."

They took questions from an audience gathered at BBC Scotland's headquarters in Glasgow. The Reporting Scotland special came at the end of the first day of a two-day Holyrood debate on requesting a fresh referendum. The SNP government wants a second vote, the UK Tory government said "not now". Ms Hyslop said that Brexit had "changed everything" and that was why an independence referendum bid was back on the table. She explained: "We need to make sure that Scotland is in its best position to make sure, that we can take advantage of the things that are important to Scotland in terms of the type of country we want to have, in terms of our economy, but also from a democracy point of view. "It is really important that the people of Scotland have their choice bearing in mind it is 62% of people who voted to Remain. "The choice has to lie not with politicians and the first minister - the choice really has to lie with the people of Scotland at that time - and at that time it is 18 months to two years time when we know the terms of the content of the Brexit deal is available." Mr Tomkins acknowledged that the timing of a referendum was "really important". He said the agreement made in 2014 for the first Scottish independence vote accepted the need for a timetable that suited both sides. Mr Tomkins went on: "What happened last week could hardly be more different from that process of agreement we had in 2012 to 2014. Because what happened last week was the first minister of Scotland announcing some kind of unilateral demand that there had to be a second independence referendum. "I think Theresa May as Prime Minister of the whole of the UK, including Scotland, is absolutely right to say now is not the time to ask this question again." On the issue of Scotland's future Ms Hyslop said if the country was allowed to "drift" for the next two years it would definitely be out of the European Union. Although he campaigned for the UK to retain its EU membership, Mr Tomkins said he now wanted the best Brexit deal for the whole of the UK. In the Scottish Parliament earlier, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insisted that Scotland's future should be decided by the people who live in the country rather than being "imposed upon us". Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson claimed voters were "sick to death of the SNP's games" over independence as the pro-UK opposition parties argued that there was no appetite for another referendum just two and a half years after the first one. A second day of Holyrood debate on requesting a fresh referendum will take place on Wednesday with a vote of MSPs at 17:30.

The SNP's Fiona Hyslop and Conservative Adam Tomkins went head-to-head in a TV debate which looked at Brexit and a possible second Scottish referendum.

A small number of the firm's servers failed to handle the added second properly making them return errors. The problem meant that the sites of some of its customers were hard to reach in the early hours of 2017. The second was added to compensate for a slowdown in the earth's rotation and helps to co-ordinate time-keeping among nations that use GMT. In a statement, Cloudflare said that its engineers had fixed the problem within 90 minutes of it affecting its servers. Anyone falling victim would have got an error message saying servers could not be reached rather than seeing the page they wanted to visit. Content delivery firm Cloudflare acts as a go-between for websites aiming to speed up access to a site as well as stopping malicious traffic and attacks reaching that destination. It said that the problem affected about 1% of the requests its servers processed during the glitch period. A detailed analysis of why the bug emerged found that it was triggered by a mismatch between the time-stamps Cloudflare servers were expecting and the ones they actually got from the separate systems that keep time on the wider net. This caused an internal system to "panic" the firm wrote, causing the server errors. Most of the dead suffocated in thick toxic smoke after the man set fire to casino tables, officials said, but most of the eyewitness accounts describe the events before the fire and its aftermath. Bodies found after Manila casino attack Videos on social media showed people fleeing as several loud shots or explosions were heard. People at the scene said they had seen an armed man with his face covered. Patrons at the casino tried to hide or escape the resort building in any way possible. One eyewitness recounts there was a sudden commotion with people suddenly running towards his group. "We were a few metres away from the gunman. He was indiscriminately firing upwards but he was not shooting anyone," he said in a video posted by a local reporter on Twitter. He described gunman as "wearing a vest", adding that he couldn't determine what rifle the man was using. The first tweets from the resort itself describe the chaos at the scene with "people running and screaming". Shortly afterwards, the same Twitter user posted that "vehicles are now prohibited to enter @rwmanila premises" and described how "scary" it was. Most people at the scene and seeing the smoke over the hotel complex for a long time were not sure about what had happened, speculating about a possible terror attack. According to the Reuters news agency, a casino employee told DZMM radio that he heard several gunshots and saw people running up the stairs from the second floor. A maintenance worker from the casino told the same station that he saw a woman fall from an upper floor while trying to escape. "Several people were injured," he said. Local media have cited witnesses saying they hid in a VIP room on the second floor of the casino. Others reportedly broke a window and used a curtain to climb down from the second floor of the building. The victims are a British man and a Canadian and an American woman, said the Costa Rican authorities The catamaran was taking tourists to the Tortuga Island, on the country's Pacific Coast, when it was hit by strong winds and powerful waves. Survivors said they were given lifejackets shortly before the boat sank. "We were floating in the ocean. Many people were crying, screaming, asking for help," an unidentified woman told local television. The Pura Vida Princess was carrying 99 tourists and 10 crew when it sank some 15km (nine miles) offshore. The accident happened around 09:00 local time (15:00 GMT). "The captain started to turn the wheel to the left. There were pretty heavy seas and we started to take water on, apparently on the right side," said Todd Olson, a tourist from the American state of Kansas. "Within a minute it was flipped. Very fast, shocking," he added. Vice-President Ana Helena Chacon said 106 people had been rescued. She praised the work of the lifeguards, security ministry and the Red Cross. Earlier reports said two tourists were missing, but Ms Chacon said all the passengers and crew, with the exception of the three casualties, had been accounted for. "It's a sad day for our country, that receives so many tourists," she said. The British Foreign Office said it a statement: "We are aware of an incident on a boat off the coast of Costa Rica involving British nationals. We are in close contact with local authorities and are providing consular assistance." The Central American nation is considered one of the safest and most popular tourist destinations in Latin America. Some 2.4 million foreign tourists - most of them from the US - visited the country in 2013, according to Costa Rica's Tourism Board. 7 April 2017 Last updated at 15:54 BST The network has said that separate awards for best actor and actress will be replaced by "non-gendered" prizes. This means female actors like Emma Watson from Disney's Beauty and the beast will now be competing with male actors like Hugh Jackman from Marvel's Logan, for the best actor award. At the moment most big award ceremonies, like the Oscars and Baftas, still have separate categories for men and women. But some ceremonies like the Grammys have never had separate awards. Many people believe that men and women should be treated equally so there should be no need to separate the genders. Some people also believe that people shouldn't be defined by their gender and should get to choose which one they identify with. The company's chief executive, Herbert Hainer, said: "We will bring production back to where the main markets are." Adidas hopes the changes will help it to make new products available more quickly, as well as increasing net income by 15% a year by 2020. The firm is keen to stop rival Nike eating into its market share. It said it was testing automated production units that would speed up manufacturing and allow customers to personalise their purchases. However, the plan failed to make a huge impression on investors. Adidas shares traded slightly higher in Frankfurt. As part of the strategic business plan, called Creating the New, the company will invest in talent and marketing in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo. The company's executive board member in charge of global sales, Roland Auschel, said: "Global brands are created in global cities. If we win running in New York and Los Angeles, we will win running in the US." One marketing expert called the shift to strategic cities a sensible move. "Those areas are important because they are opinion leaders," said Vince Mitchell, professor of marketing at Cass Business School. Mr Mitchell added that swift production speed was the secret to the success of such High Street retailers as Zara. Adidas is trying to gain market share and rebound from a previous business plan that did not achieve its goals. In a blog on the company's website, Mr Hainer wrote: "We had to accept in late 2014 that we'd not met all our financial ambitions which we'd set ourselves in the light of the strategic business plan Route 2015 five years ago." The Hong Kong-born, Australia-bred batsman missed two months of the 2015 season with a dislocated shoulder when diving to stop a ball in the outfield. But Sunday's 85 off 57 balls in Dubai against the West Indies showed class. "It was a mature innings. Sam batted really well," said boss Dougie Brown. "Very measured. As measured as you can be in Twenty20. He showed what he can do, but we're not getting carried away because we already know he is a talent. "Without the shoulder injury which affected his throwing, he would have played some form of white-ball cricket for us last season." Fellow batsman Laurie Evans, who captained the Bears for Sunday's second of two T20 friendlies with the Windies, added: "Sam Hain batted really well against a high-quality bowling attack. "It was the sort of pitch where it was difficult getting in and he stayed there when we lost a few wickets and gave us something to bowl at." The Bears lost the game by three wickets at the International Stadium, on the back of Friday's 13-run defeat in the first game. After making 823 first-class runs in 12 matches at 51.43 as a teenager in 2014, even breaking Ian Bell's record as the youngest Bears centurion, he scored 547 in 10 matches at 36.46 last summer. Now he is fit again, England-qualified Hain will again be coming back onto the radar of James Whitaker and his fellow Test selectors. But Bears director of cricket Brown says that he is not the only youngster to have impressed in the Persian Gulf, "Sam is just one of a lot of guys pushing for places on the evidence of the two games against West Indies," added Brown. "Ateeq Javid and Josh Poysden bowled superbly against high-class batsman coming hard at them. "In both games our fielding was outstanding and in all departments our skill levels were exceptional at times. Games like these against international opposition can be very one-sided but that was far from the case. We pushed them close both times. In those sort of games it is about much more than the result, "It's about players getting opportunities and there were a lot of positives in there. We have got a lot of healthy competition for places and I'm sure that will only increase because the start of the T20 season in England is still quite a way away." Warwickshire's next assignment on their tour to the Persian Gulf is to travel to Sharjah to train ahead of a two-day meeting with Midlands rivals Worcestershire on Saturday and Sunday at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. America is Northern Ireland's number one overseas investor, with its firms employing about 23,000 people in NI. Mr Hamilton said he is "not concerned at all" about future US investment and jobs. During his campaign, Mr Trump pledged protectionist trade arrangements and to cut the US corporation tax rate. Northern Ireland is reducing its rate to 12.5% from 2018 to attract more overseas companies, including from America. "I think the US will continue to be a great, close friend," Mr Hamilton said. "They have been a great supporter of our economic progress down the years and I am absolutely sure Mr Trump will want to continue that." Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire also believed the outlook was "positive." He said: "When I was in Washington in September a number of US companies underlined their continued commitment to Northern Ireland. "We want to see that flourish and grow." There are 185 US firms in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland exports £1.5bn worth of goods to America a year, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs. Australia powered into the World Cup final with a 95-run victory over defending champions India in Sydney on Thursday. Kohli, who is the team's vice captain, went out after making just one run. Indians follow cricket passionately and millions of fans were disappointed by his poor show. As India's chase hit roadblocks and it became clear that India was losing to Australia, many fans started to vent their anger on Twitter and some began to target Sharma, who was present in the stadium, watching the match. But this anger was met with strong resistance from others on Twitter who felt it was wrong to blame the actress for Kohli's "poor performance". Tweets supporting the duo soon outnumbered those who made jokes about Sharma's presence in the stadium. Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, tennis star Sania Mirza, senior journalists and other users came to the defence of the couple. Former Indian cricket captain Saurav Ganguly also criticised those who blamed the actress for the team's defeat. "What wrong Anushka has done? She had only gone to see a cricket match like the families of other players. It is unfair to blame her for Kohli's performance. It is the immaturity of people," he told The Indian Express. Newspapers and websites have also published reports, criticising the "irrational behaviour by Indian fans". "Such extreme reactions only go on to show the misogynist character of Indian society where a woman is blamed for anything and everything that goes wrong with the man. Anushka just like millions of other Indians is a fan of cricket and her boyfriend is a star batsman in Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team," writes Senha Thakur on the CNN-IBN website. In an interview with the NDTV earlier in the month, Sharma had said "it's primitive to call me his distraction and blame me for his performance". Meanwhile, leading news channel Times Now and its editor Arnab Goswami are also being criticised for their harsh review of India's performance. The channel ran its shows with headlines like "Team India mess it up", "Team India #ShamedinSydeny, and "India disgraced in Sydney". Some Twitter users criticised the channel for being "sensational" and tweeted with their own hashtag #ShameonTimesNow.

Texan student Amber Vanhecke, 24, told US broadcaster ABC she had been stranded for five days in a remote part of Arizona. She was visiting the area to hike and got lost when her car ran out of fuel. When a rescue helicopter spotted her abandoned car last Friday, they found a note inside saying she had gone to try and get a mobile phone signal. Shortly afterwards she was seen "frantically waving" to get their attention. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a statement that she had alerted them with an emergency call but the line had dropped before her location was confirmed. She was treated at the scene for exposure and then transported to hospital. A DPS paramedic described the woman as "smart and prepared". "She had food and water in her vehicle for the trip," Edgar Bissonette told CBS. "Even though she was down to her last bit of water, it kept her going. When she left the vehicle, she left notes so we knew where to find her. She did everything right." The roots of the game date back to 1823 and are widely attributed to William Webb Ellis, a pupil at Rugby School. MP Mark Pawsey said this year's world cup offered a "great opportunity" for the local economy and a chance to celebrate the town's role in the game. He said hotels, restaurants and bars could all benefit. A fan zone is being set up in the town, showing world cup matches. The council is also backing a festival and investing in cultural events taking place alongside the tournament. Councillor Heather Timms, responsible for economy on Rugby Borough Council, said the authority was investing almost £1m in the town. She said it was part of a £5m investment to make sure Rugby was ready to welcome fans of the game. Mrs Timms said it was also important local children learned about the town's role in developing the sport. The Webb Ellis trophy visited Rugby as part of a nationwide tour ahead of the tournament's start on 18 September. Prospects Academies Trust said in May it would fold once it had found new sponsors for its six academies. The Department of Education (DfE) said it had now chosen the Wiltshire-based Malmesbury Trust to take over The Dean Academy in Lydney. The trust has one school left to offload - Gloucester Academy. In a letter to parents, The Dean Academy's principal David Gaston wrote that Malmesbury School was "outstanding" and has training school status "which means that they are equipped to provide support for staff development". He stressed there would no changes to The Dean Academy name, the school uniform or the staffing structure. As for Gloucester Academy, the DfE said it was continuing to work to appoint a suitable sponsor, although a National Union of Teachers (NUT) representative locally said he understood a new sponsor had been found and was in the process of applying for approval. John Pemberthy, NUT National Executive member and Gloucestershire division secretary, said: "I am pleased for the sake of the students and staff of these schools that they will hopefully feel a greater sense of security from these new arrangements, but the history of sponsored academies in Gloucestershire, which I have opposed from the start, is not a happy one. "Prospects, E-Act and AET have all taken on schools in the county but have failed to show any benefits in exchange for the top-slicing of the school budgets. "The NUT believes that many of these academies would be better off returning to local authority control." Deals to re-broker Prospects' other four academies - three of which were in Devon and one in East Sussex - were arranged by 1 December. Media playback is not supported on this device Foley, 42, was found dead in his Paris hotel room on Sunday morning, hours before Munster's scheduled Champions Cup match against Racing 92. "Talking to a lot people who know him better, he would never want us to say the game is secondary," said Munster director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, who added the decision was "not easy". "We don't want to miss this opportunity for him. It has been quite overwhelming and a testament to Axel himself that we are hearing from all over the world." Media playback is not supported on this device Post-mortem tests in France revealed Foley died of a build-up of fluid in the lungs caused by a heart condition. Munster players, staff and fans staged an emotional homecoming for the former Ireland star on Wednesday evening after his remains were flown to Shannon Airport from France. Those present as the cortege passed Thomond Park applauded and burst into song as the hearse made a slow journey to Foley's home town of Killaloe, where he will be laid to rest on Friday. Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss said Ireland captain Rory Best and a number of other players and officials from the province will attend the funeral "to honour a man, and to pay respects to the family of Axel". Foley, whose father Brendan also played for Munster and Ireland, represented the Irish province on 201 occasions and captained them to their first European Cup triumph in 2006. The number eight also won 62 Ireland caps and skippered his country on three occasions. After joining Munster's coaching staff following his retirement in 2008, Foley became the Irish province's forwards coach in 2011 - a role he briefly undertook with Ireland during the 2012 Six Nations - before graduating to head coach in 2014 after the departure of Rob Penney. Munster appointed South African Erasmus as the club's director of rugby in July, but Foley's job title remained head coach. Speaking alongside Erasmus, Munster captain Peter O'Mahony broke down as he described Foley's contribution to the club as "incalculable". "I'm not going to do him justice here. Personally, he meant a huge amount," said the Ireland international. "I haven't supported a Munster team that he wasn't involved in. The amount he's given the club, it can't be calculated." O'Mahony recalled Foley being as happy with the narrow win in his first game as a 60-point victory. "He was a man that wanted a Munster jersey win," he said. Sunday's scheduled match in Paris was postponed following Foley's death. The FTSE 100 index closed 84 points up at 6,984, a rise of 1.2% on the day. The pound dropped 1% to $1.284, and was down 0.8% at 1.146 euros. "There is still a great degree of uncertainty surrounding what Brexit negotiations will involve," said Ana Thaker, at broker PhillipCapital UK. Among the biggest risers on the London market were Intercontinental Hotels, up 3.1%; Travis Perkins, also up 3.1%; Anglo American, up 2.9%; and Schroders, up 2.7%. In the FTSE 250, shares in asset manager Henderson Group rose 17% after it said it had agreed to merge with US investment management company Janus Capital. The deal will create a company managing more than $320bn in assets and was described by both sides as a "merger of equals". The Law Society of Scotland said it had accepted an offer from Kenny MacAskill for a meeting next week. Defence solicitors boycotted the custody courts at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Paisley sheriff courts on Tuesday. The changes would see accused people with a disposable income of more than £68 contribute to their defence costs. Defence lawyers are also concerned about moves for solicitors to collect the money themselves, instead of the Scottish Legal Aid Board. The Scottish government believes the changes outlined in the Scottish Civil Justice Council and Criminal Legal Assistance Bill would cut Scotland's £98m annual criminal legal aid bill by £3.9m. Mr MacAskill said he wanted to keep the dialogue channels open after the strike action, which he said was "in nobody's interests". He said there had been instances where clients appeared in court unrepresented during the strike action, despite the availability of duty solicitors and public defence solicitors. He added: "This government is concerned that this strike action has arisen while our proposals on criminal legal aid contributions are still under discussion. "In recent discussion with the Law Society of Scotland, I offered to meet with bar associations to discuss and explain the current issues around criminal legal aid contributions and I am hopeful such a meeting can take place shortly. "While the Law Society is traditionally the negotiating body for the profession, I want to ensure that there is also the opportunity to have face-to-face conversations with the bar associations themselves about the reasons for the bill, why we are having to make these changes, and the bill's progression through parliament. "The strike action that has so far occurred is in nobody's interests." Following a meeting on Thursday evening between representatives from law faculties and bar associations, the Law Society of Scotland reiterated its position that the planned changes were "regressive, unworkable and unfair" but said the requested discussions with Mr MacAskill would happen. The body said the £68 threshold would mean people were forced to pay towards the costs of their defence "when they simply cannot afford to so". It also said the proposed system, which would see solicitors collecting in summary cases, was "impractical" and the Scottish Legal Aid Board was the body best equipped to collect contributions in all summary and solemn cases. A statement said: "The Law Society has now agreed to organise a meeting between the faculties and the Cabinet Secretary for Justice so these concerns can be discussed in detail. "The meeting is likely to take place early next week." Five cats and a dog were reportedly poisoned on Bryn Glas Road in Holyhead. One of the cats had to be euthanised after it had ingested anti-freeze. The RSPCA said it was not known whether the poisonings were deliberate, but so many incidents in one area was "particularly concerning" and asked people to be cautious. How far it ranged - over subjects as diverse as globalisation, the people who feel left behind, our spiritual and communitarian well-being - as well as the rather more obvious social media issues of fake news, polarisation and sensationalism. And secondly, that this letter could be described very fairly as a manifesto. It is not just a statement of where Facebook as a business is going. It is also a statement of the type of world Facebook believes it can help create. As such, it is political (although carefully crafted to contain no direct reference to the new US president). And when I interviewed Mr Zuckerberg, the same sense of political purpose was clear. And the same care not to reference Donald Trump. Of course, many will find talk of "connectedness", "community" and "bringing people together" very easy to dismiss. Here is a very rich man running a very powerful - and often controversial - company, who, one assumes, might find it hard to relate to the ordinary concerns of the ex-steel workers of Monessen, Pennsylvania, or the former pottery workers of Stoke in the west Midlands. But in an era of technology giants like Facebook which have so much "reach" - 28.5m users in Britain alone - the rebuttal is simple. Better that Mark Zuckerberg is public about his vision for his company - agree or disagree with that as you like - than the alternative of corporate silence. In my interview with him, I did push on taxes paid (or not) and privacy violations. Mr Zuckerberg answered that he wanted Facebook to be a "good corporate citizen". And on fake news it is clear that Facebook, and other technology giants, have been ill-prepared for the type of editorial controls necessary in an era when millions of people receive their news via their chosen "filter bubble" with little mediation. Facebook, Google and others have a central philosophy - act quickly to launch new products and then "iterate" if there is a problem. That has led to mistakes, which Mr Zuckerberg does admit to. This is a century when the most powerful are not simply the elected leaders or dictators of the world, but are the corporate leaders who can do so much to influence - and control - what billions of people experience every day. Speaking publicly about how they view that role is, for many, better than the alternative. We can then at least test his company, this global behemoth, against the standards Mr Zuckerberg has set himself. Does the Facebook founder want to be a politician? Particularly given that he sounds so much like one - and I mean that in the broadest sense, not pejoratively. Not yet, certainly. And maybe not ever. As the head of a company with 1.86 billion active users a month, he is probably well aware that he has plenty of power already. Confederate forces acquired hundreds of Clyde-built boats because they were fast, making them ideal for evading Union ships blockading Southern ports. The shipwreck off Oak Island, North Carolina, is a blockade runner called Agnes E Fry. The image, called a sonar mosaic, was made following work by divers, sonar experts and archaeologists. North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources has also released photographs of a deck light and what is thought to be the handle of a homemade knife recovered from the wreck. The sonar mosaic will help archaeologists plan for further exploration of the wreck site. Specialist divers from the Charlotte Fire Department and sonar experts from Nautilus Marine Group assisted archaeologists with the department of natural and cultural resources and the International Institute of Maritime Research to record the entire wreck site with a digital, sector-scanning sonar. Agnes E Fry was launched on the Clyde under a different name, Fox. It sank after running aground on 27 December 1864. Confederate soldiers defending the entrance of the nearby Cape Fear River were not thought to have salvaged the ship's cargo. Union forces blockaded Confederate ports in an effort to keep supplies from reaching the South, and to prevent the Confederacy from exporting cotton and other marketable items. Other Clyde-built ships acquired for blockade running included the Iona I. It operated on a Glasgow to the Highlands passenger route before it was purchased by Confederate agents. But it never reached the war as it sank in the Clyde near Gourock following a collision with another ship in 1862. The five-time Grand Slam winner has been banned by the International Tennis Federation for using a prohibited drug. Murray told BBC Radio 5 live that Sharapova's punishment made it clear "that there's not going to be any hiding place for drug cheats". Roger Federer said he supported a "zero tolerance" stance against doping. Sharapova, 29, was provisionally banned in March after testing positive for the heart disease drug meldonium - which became a banned substance on 1 January 2016 - at this year's Australian Open. Men's world number three Federer, who has won 17 Grand Slams, added: "It doesn't matter if they did it on purpose or not, I don't really see the difference. "You need to know what goes into your body, you have to be 100% sure of what's going on. If you're not, you're going to be damned. "Of course she's got the right to fight the case, like everybody else as well. I'm just for zero tolerance. "I stay by my word that we should be saving blood samples for 10, 15, 20 years to come, so you have to scare away the people who think they could cheat. "You have to scare them so they will not do it, so they could retroactively also be banned, and take away titles and so forth." Media playback is not supported on this device Sharapova has said she would appeal against the "unfairly harsh" ban. Murray said it would be "very tough" for the Russian to return to the pinnacle of her sport following the conclusion of her ban. "You can continue to train, to keep fit but losing match fitness... that's what helps you win," added Murray. "It will be very difficult for her to come back at 31, almost 32." Sharapova's former coach, Gabe Jaramillo, said the player would be determined to ensure her career ended on a good note. "She's so competitive and she's so smart that these two years or year-and-a-half, she's going to be working hard, she's going to stay in shape, she's going to be playing because she wants to come back," he said. "She doesn't want to leave the game with this thing over her head. I bet you she wants to leave the game on a good note and she is going to try her best to get back there again and, if I have to bet, I would bet that she will make it again. Because she's not going to give up." The socially-savvy First Lady is aiming to connect with young people on the popular app, where posts disappear within 24 hours. She hopes to use it to publicise her trip but her first post was a selfie. She also previewed her appearance on Late Late Show host James Corden's viral segment, Carpool Karaoke. Kelsey Donohue, who works in the Obama's communication office, announced the First Lady's debut on Snapchat in a Medium blog post. Followers can expect a glimpse of the First Lady's daily life, ranging from snaps of the White House Kitchen Garden to tips on staying active as a part of her Let's Move! campaign. The First Lady will also use her new account to showcase her upcoming trip, with guest appearances from actresses Meryl Streep and Freida Pinto in Africa. Mrs Obama's teen daughters Malia and Sasha will also accompany her on the trip. She maintains an active social media presence, with 4.58m followers on Twitter and 5m on Instagram. Parliament, which was in recess for the EU referendum, was recalled to remember Mrs Cox, 41, who was described as "perfect" by her family. Politicians are now at a memorial service at St Margaret's Church. Speaker John Bercow said the Commons had gathered in "heartbreaking sadness" but also in "heartfelt solidarity". A charity fundraising appeal set up in Mrs Cox's memory has now raised more than £1 million. As he led the tributes in a packed House of Commons, Mr Bercow said Mrs Cox had "outstanding qualities... she was caring, eloquent, principled and wise". "Above all she was filled with and fuelled by love for humanity. Devoted to her family and a relentless campaigner for equality, human rights and social justice," he added. Mr Bercow added: "An attack like this strikes not only at an individual, but at our freedom. That is why we assemble here, both to honour Jo and to redouble our dedication to democracy." Mrs Cox's husband, Brendan, and their two children were in the public gallery to hear MPs' tributes, along with Mrs Cox's parents Jean and Gordon, sister Kim and other family members. A white and a red rose were placed in Mrs Cox's usual place on the Labour benches. Speaking next, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told MPs, who were wearing white roses in memory of Mrs Cox: "We have lost one of our own and society as a whole has lost one of our very best." He said Mrs Cox - whose 42nd birthday would have been on Wednesday - had spent her life serving and campaigning "for other people" - at home and abroad - both in her charity work and as an MP. He called her death "an attack on democracy and our whole country has been shocked and saddened by it... and was united in grief". He appealed for "a kinder and gentler politics", saying politicians had a responsibility "not to whip up hatred or sow division". In her honour, he said "we can come together to change our politics to tolerate a little more and condemn a little less". Prime Minister David Cameron described Mrs Cox, the MP for Batley and Spen, as an "extraordinary colleague and friend", who was a humanitarian "to her core" who brought out "the best" in people. "She was a voice of compassion, whose boundless energy lit up the lives of all who knew her and saved the lives of many she never met." He said her killing was a "sickening and despicable" act and, like the speakers before him, offered condolences to her family. Mr Cameron added: "We pay tribute to a loving, determined, passionate and progressive politician, who epitomised the best of humanity and proved so often the power of politics to make the world a better place." Several MPs could be seen in tears as tributes were made from across the House to Mrs Cox as a charity worker, an MP, a wife and a mother. She was "struck down too soon", said Labour MP for Leeds West Rachel Reeves, who told MPs "it now falls on all of our shoulders to carry on Jo's work - to combat and guard against hatred, intolerance and injustice and serve others with dignity and love". Ms Reeves added, to tears, that Batley and Spen would go on to elect a new MP, "but no one can replace a mother". Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell said Mrs Cox was a "truly exceptional woman" whose "goodness and passionate dedication to humanitarian values has inspired us all." He said she would not want her death to change the "open and accessible relationship" MPs enjoy with their constituents, but she would want the UK to redouble its efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis, which he called "the greatest catastrophe of our age". For the Lib Dems, leader Tim Farron said MPs stood "united" to mourn the death of "an enormous figure in this House". He added: "The snatching away of a wife and a mother, hugely loving and hugely loved, is what has moved Britain to stand in collective grief this last few days." "A proud Yorkshire lass," was how Conservative MP Stuart Andrew remembered Mrs Cox. He said he would miss her "passion and conviction" but above all "her smile". Meanwhile, Stephen Kinnock, who shared an office with Mrs Cox, a friend for 20 years, said Mrs Cox gave "a voice to the voiceless and spoke truth to power" and exemplified the "best values" of Labour and the country. Echoing the sentiment of others, he said her legacy must be a politics of "hope note fear, respect not hate, unity not division". In very rare and emotional scenes in the Commons chamber, MPs broke in to applause in memory of the MP as they filed out of the chamber, many comforting each other as they wiped away tears. The MPs then proceeded to St Margaret's Church, alongside members of the House of Lords, to St Margaret's Church, where a short memorial service will take place for Mrs Cox. A church service was held in Batley and Spen on Sunday to remember the life of Mrs Cox, who was described as a "21st Century Good Samaritan". Mrs Cox's sister Kim Leadbeater has thanked the community for their support, saying it had "genuinely made a difference" and helped the family through some "dark times". Friends of Mrs Cox have announced plans for a public event in Trafalgar Square in London on Wednesday. There have also been calls for a memorial to be installed at Westminster to remember her. Mrs Cox is the first sitting MP to be killed since Conservative Ian Gow was blown up by the IRA in 1990. Thomas Mair, 52, from Birstall, faces charges of murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon in connection with the attack on Mrs Cox. He refused to give his correct name and did not reply when asked to confirm his address and date of birth at an appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday. When asked to confirm he was Thomas Mair at the Old Bailey on Monday, he replied: "Yes, I am." There was no application for bail and he was remanded in custody. He will appear at the same court for a preliminary hearing before Mr Justice Saunders at 10:00 BST on Thursday. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggested Ganoderma lucidum slowed weight gain by altering bacteria in the gut. The researchers suggested the mushroom could eventually be used in the treatment of obesity. Experts said the science was good, but putting mushroom extract in cans of cola would not help people lose weight. G. lucidum has traditionally been sold for "health and longevity" say researchers at Chang Gung University. They analysed the impact of the fungus on mice being fed a high-fat diet. Those on just a high-fat diet reached 42g after their first two months whereas mice that were also fed a high dose of mushroom extract reached only 35g. Mice were still much slimmer if they were fed a normal diet. In their report, the team said mushroom extract "may be used as pre-biotics to reduce body weight gain, chronic inflammation and insulin resistance [type 2 diabetes] in obese individuals." Although this would, they said, need further testing in people. The team in Taiwan showed that adding the mushroom to the mice's meals altered the types of bacteria living in the gut. Gut bugs are heavily involved in digestion and the release of energy, and some species are associated with slim people and others with fat people. The scientists showed that transplanting faeces from the mushroom-fed mice to other mice - known as horizontal faeces transfer - helped the recipient keep off the pounds. Prof Colin Hill, a microbiologist at University College Cork in Ireland, told the BBC News website: "I like the idea of some of these Chinese medicine stories coming back into science, I love the idea of revisiting traditional medicines. "The microbiome is certainly a key player in weight gain and weight loss, it's certainly involved in extracting energy from our food. "But no intervention will overcome someone drinking lots of fizzy drinks, there won't be a magic pill, no mushroom extract in a can of coke will help people lose weight." His re-election to the post almost a year later was not such a surprise but could prove even more momentous in terms of Labour's direction in the coming years and the future course of British politics. Seeing off the challenge of Owen Smith, who had the backing of the majority of Labour MPs, has made Mr Corbyn, for the time being at least, seemingly unassailable and increased the likelihood that he will lead the opposition into the next general election - scheduled for 2020. If that is the case, Mr Corbyn will be a highly influential figure during one of the most important political periods of the past 50 years - as the clock ticks down to the UK's exit from the EU following the Brexit referendum vote. To his critics, he is almost a caricature of the archetypal "bearded leftie", an unelectable throwback to the dark days of the 1980s, when Labour valued ideological purity more than winning power. But to his army of supporters he is the only honest man left in politics, someone who can inspire a new generation of activists, and make them believe that there is an alternative to the neo-liberal Thatcherite consensus that has let them down so badly. A fixture on the British left for more than 40 years, he has been an almost ever-present figure at demos and marches, a joiner of committees, a champion of controversial causes, a tireless pamphleteer, handy with a megaphone. But not even his most ardent admirers would have had him down as a future leader of Her Majesty's opposition. And not just because he believes in the abolition of the Monarchy. Corbyn's brand of left-wing politics was meant to have been consigned to the dustbin of history by New Labour. He belongs to what had been a dwindling band of MPs, which also includes Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, who held fast to their socialist principles as their party marched moved right - and into power - under Tony Blair. At the start of the 2015 leadership contest, after scraping on to the ballot paper at the last minute, thanks to charity nominations from Labour MPs who wanted a token left-wing candidate to "broaden the debate", he explained to The Guardian why he had decided to run. "Well, Diane and John have done it before, so it was my turn." Asked if he had taken some persuading, he replied: "Yeah. I have never held any appointed office, so in that sense it's unusual, but if I can promote some causes and debate by doing this, then good. That's why I'm doing it." He added: "At my age I'm not likely to be a long-term contender, am I?" That view was quickly revised as Corbynmania took hold. Something about the Islington North MP struck a chord with Labour leadership voters in a way that his three younger, more polished, more careerist, rivals patently did not. Despite, or perhaps because, of his unassuming, low-key style, he seemed able to inspire people who had lost faith in Labour during the Blair/Brown years and bring hope to young activists fired up by his anti-austerity message. His entry into the contest also prompted a surge in people - many from the left of the existing Labour membership - joining the party or paying £3 to become registered supporters. His perceived integrity and lifelong commitment to the socialist cause made him an attractive option to many left-wing voters jaded by the spin and soundbites of the Westminster political classes. Over the course of a year or so since becoming leader he has become something of a cult figure - ironic for someone who always insisted he didn't do personality politics and had never tried to cultivate a following among MPs. Instead of amusing anecdotes about youthful indiscretions, or tales of climbing Westminster's greasy pole, his political biography is dominated by the list of the causes he has championed and committees he has served on. He once confessed he had never smoked cannabis - practically unheard of in the left-wing circles he grew up in, but the mark of a man who is known for his austere, almost ascetic, approach to life. His frugality is legendary. He usually has the lowest expenses claims of any MP. "Well, I don't spend a lot of money, I lead a very normal life, I ride a bicycle and I don't have a car," he told The Guardian. Asked what his favourite biscuit was during a Mumsnet Q&A , he answered: "I'm totally anti-sugar on health grounds, so eat very few biscuits, but if forced to accept one, it's always a pleasure to have a shortbread." Jeremy Bernard Corbyn had an impeccable middle-class upbringing. He spent his early years in the picturesque Wiltshire village of Kington St Michael. When he was seven, the family moved to a seven-bedroomed manor house in the hamlet of Pave Lane, in Shropshire. The youngest of four boys, he enjoyed an idyllic childhood in what he himself has called a rural "Tory shire". Personal life: Lives with third wife. Has three sons from earlier marriage. Food and drink: A vegetarian who rarely drinks alcohol. According to The Guardian, his favourite restaurant is Gaby's diner in London's West End, where he likes to eat hummus after taking part in demonstrations in Trafalgar Square. Hobbies: Running, cycling, cricket and Arsenal football club. According to the Financial Times: "He loves making jam with fruit grown on his allotment, belongs to the All Party Parliamentary Group for Cheese and is a borderline trainspotter." He does not own a car. He is known for having an unusual hobby - an interest in the history and design of manhole covers. Culture: A lover of the works of Irish poet WB Yeats. His favourite novelist is said to be the late Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe, whose most famous work, Things Fall Apart, is about the tensions between colonialism and traditional societies. He is a fluent Spanish speaker and enjoys Latin American literature. His favourite films are said to be The Great Gatsby and Casablanca. His brother Piers, now a meteorologist known for denying climate change is a product of human activity, has described the Corbyn boys as "country bumpkins". Corbyn disagrees with his brother on climate change but they remain close. They both learned their politics at the family dinner table, where left-wing causes and social justice were a frequent topic of debate. Their maths teacher mother Naomi and electrical engineer father David were peace campaigners who met at a London rally for supporters of Spain's Republicans in the fight against Franco's fascists. Piers, who would go on to be a well-known squatters leader in 1960s London, was even further to the left than Jeremy. Both boys joined the local Wrekin Labour Party and the Young Socialists while still at school. Corbyn had begun his education at the fee-paying preparatory school, Castle House, in Newport, before moving into the state sector, after passing his 11-plus. He was one of only two Labour-supporting boys at Adams Grammar School, in Newport, when his class held a mock election in 1964. In an interview with The Sun, his friend Bob Mallett recalls Corbyn being jeered by his right-wing schoolmates: "Jeremy was the Labour candidate and I his campaign manager because at a middle-class boarding grammar school in leafy Shropshire, there weren't many socialists. We were trounced." Corbyn left Adams with two A levels, both at grade E, and an enduring hatred of selective education. "It was an illegal war and therefore [Tony Blair] has to explain to that. Is he going to be tried for it? I don't know. Could he be tried for it? Possibly," on the Iraq war. "Are super-rich people actually happy with being super-rich? I would want the super rich to pay properly their share of the needs of the rest of the community," on Channel 4 News. "He was a fascinating figure who observed a great deal and from whom we can learn a great deal," on Karl Marx to the BBC's Andrew Marr. "Without exception, the majority electricity, gas, water and railway infrastructures of Britain were built through public investment since the end of WW2 and were all privatised at knockdown prices for the benefit of greedy asset-strippers by the Thatcher and Major-led Tory governments," in his column for the Morning Star newspaper. "Some people say to me, are we still worried about Hiroshima. My reply is that the weapons were used specifically against civilians and while 'fireworks' compared to what is now available, killed and have killed for the past 59 years. Nuclear weapons have saved no lives, killed thousands and maimed many more and impoverished the poor nations who have them," on his website. "I started wearing a beard when I was 19 and living in Jamaica; they called me 'Mr Beardman,'" on winning the Beard Liberation Front's Beard of the Year award in 2002. He reportedly split up with his second wife Claudia after she insisted on sending their son Ben - now a football coach with Premier League Watford - to Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, in Barnet, instead of an Islington comprehensive. After leaving school, Corbyn spent two years in Jamaica, with Voluntary Service Overseas, something he has described as an "amazing" experience. Back in the UK he threw himself into trade union activism, initially with now long defunct National Union of Tailors and Garment Makers. He started a course in Trade Union Studies at North London Polytechnic but left after a series of arguments with his tutors over the curriculum. "He probably knew more than them," Piers told The Sun. A successful career as a trade union organiser followed, with the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union (AEEU) and then the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE). But his real passion was for Labour Party politics - and in 1974 he was elected to Haringey District Council, in North London. In the same year he married fellow Labour councillor, Jane Chapman, a university lecturer. Chapman says she married Corbyn for his "honesty" and "principles" but she soon grew weary of his intense focus on politics. "Politics became our life. He was out most evenings because when we weren't at meetings he would go to the Labour headquarters, and do photocopying - in those days you couldn't print because there were no computers,' she told The Mail on Sunday. "Jeremy is a saintly figure of enormous personal integrity. He is a man who lives his life according to his beliefs," former Labour MP Chris Mullin, speaking to Panorama. "If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won't be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election. It will mean rout, possibly annihilation", former Labour leader and prime minister Tony Blair. "The showbiz glitz of New Labour temporarily hid the hole where the heart of Labour was supposed to be. Now the 'Corbynites' (whoever expected to use that phrase?) are trying to hide that hole behind some old banners and a bloke with a beard," left-wing commentator Mick Hume. "There is something inherently virtuous about him, and that is a quality that can rally the support of a lot of people, and most importantly, a lot of young people," singer and activist Charlotte Church (pictured). "While most of his chums have all moderated their views, dumped their corduroy jackets and grey suits, shaved their beards and quietly cancelled their CND subscriptions, [he] has hardly changed a bit; he is the Fidel Castro of London N1," Telegraph journalist Robert Hardman. They shared a love of animals, they had a tabby cat called Harold Wilson, and enjoyed camping holidays together in Europe on Corbyn's motorbike. But fun was in short supply at home, recalls Chapman, who remains in touch with Corbyn and backed his leadership bid. During their five years together he never once took her dinner, she told The Mail, preferring instead to "grab a can of beans and eat it straight from the can" to save time. In 1987, Corbyn married Claudia Bracchita, a Chilean exile, with whom he had three sons. The youngest, Tommy, was born while Corbyn was lecturing NUPE members elsewhere in the same hospital. Twenty-five-year-old Seb has been helping out on his father's leadership campaign. The couple separated in 1999, but remained on good terms. Corbyn got married for a third time last year, to his long term partner Laura Alvarez, a 46-year-old Mexican fair trade coffee importer. In the bitter internal warfare that split Labour in the late 1970s and early eighties, Corbyn was firmly on the side of the quasi-Marxist hard left. A Labour man to his fingertips - he was no Militant "entryist" trying to infiltrate the party by stealth - he nevertheless found common cause with former Trotskyists such as Ted Knight, and joined them in their battle to push the party to the left. He became a disciple of Tony Benn, sharing his mentor's brand of democractic socialism, with its belief in worker controlled industries and state planning of the economy, as well as Benn's commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament and a united Ireland. Here is just a small selection of the campaigns Jeremy Corbyn has been involved with over the past 50 years. Nuclear disarmament: Joined CND as a schoolboy in 1966 Irish Republicanism: Organised Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams' visit to the Commons in 1983. Once employed Irish Republican dissident Ronan Bennett as a member of staff at Westminster Miners' strike: Invited striking miners into Commons gallery in 1985 who were expelled for shouting "Coal not Dole" Anti-Apartheid: serving on the National Executive of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and was arrested in 1984 for protesting outside South Africa House Palestinian solidarity: A member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and campaigns regularly against the conflict in Gaza Miscarriages of justice: Worked on on behalf of the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six, who were eventually found to be have been wrongly convicted of IRA bombings in England in the mid-1970s Animal rights: Joined the League Against Cruel Sports at school, became a vegetarian at 20, after working on a pig farm Iraq war: Chaired the Stop the War coalition Gay rights: Spoke out in 1983 on a "No socialism without gay liberation" platform and continued to campaign for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights Corbyn was never seen as a great orator like Benn, or a firebrand like miners' leader Arthur Scargill, but he worked tirelessly behind the scenes, his trousers stained with purple ink from the copying machines that produced the pamphlets and newspapers that were the lifeblood of the British Left in the pre-internet era. He ran the London Labour Briefing newspaper, which helped propel Ken Livingstone to power on the Greater London Council. He was elected to Parliament in 1983, to represent his home patch of Islington North, a seat he has held ever since and where he has increased his majority from 5,600 to 21,000, and as a back benchers was by most accounts a popular and hard-working MP. The Bennite faction that Corbyn belonged to was already in retreat, following their leader's failure to capture the deputy leadership of the party in 1981. After fighting and losing the 1983 election on arguably the most left-wing manifesto it had ever put before the British public, with its commitment to renationalising the utilities just privatised by the Thatcher government, pulling out of the EU, nuclear disarmament and the creation of a "national investment bank" to create jobs, Labour began the painful process of "modernisation" that led to the birth of New Labour. And Corbyn would spend the next 32 years on the backbenches fighting a rearguard action against his party's abandonment of the radical policies and values contained in the '83 manifesto in the name of electability, under Neil Kinnock, John Smith and, most notably, Tony Blair. Corbyn might have hailed from the same North London district as Blair and entered Parliament in the same year but that is where the similarity ended. He abhorred Blair's embrace of free market economics and did his best to be a thorn in the younger man's side throughout his time in Downing Street, although Blair's large majorities ensured the damage was barely noticeable. He would always vote with his conscience, rather than be dictated to by the party whips. It earned him the accolade of being Labour's most rebellious MP, defying the party managers more than 500 times. It also meant he and his allies became increasingly isolated, with their views and interventions ignored by the mainstream media and most of their colleagues on the Labour benches. Blair's dire warnings that Labour would face "annihilation" if it elected Corbyn during the leadership contest were met by Corbyn with a suggestion that his predecessor as Labour leader should probably face trial for war crimes over his role in the Iraq war. Corbyn and his comrades - unlike their modernising colleagues they would use the term without irony - routinely attached themselves to any cause that felt like it would strike a blow against British and American "imperialism" or the Israeli state. Internationalist in outlook, they would proclaim solidarity with socialist campaigns and governments in places like Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador and attack US policies that, in Corbyn's view, enslaved the Latin American world. He incurred the wrath of the Labour leadership early on his career when he invited two former IRA prisoners to speak at Westminster, two weeks after the Brighton bomb that had nearly killed Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. Later on it would be his willingness to share platforms with representatives of Hamas and Hezbollah that would put him at the centre of controversy. When challenged, he insists he does not share their views but that peace will never be achieved without talking to all sides. He may have been largely sidelined in the House of Commons, respected but too much of a known quantity to have an impact, but Corbyn's stature and profile outside Parliament continued to grow. He chaired the Stop the War Coalition and became a leading figure in the anti-austerity movement, which began to attract large crowds of young activists eager for something to believe in and to take the fight to then Prime Minister David Cameron. Still, no one gave Corbyn a prayer when he entered the contest to succeed Ed Miliband as Labour leader, with bookmakers offering a price of 200-1. His elevation to rock star status, among the crowds who flocked to his leadership campaign meetings, must have been as much of a shock to Corbyn as it was to his opponents, but he never showed it. He carried on, just as he always had, railing against inequality, talking about hope, promising to renationalise industries, tax the rich and scrap Trident, and wearing the same white, open-necked shirt with pens sticking out of the top pocket. Only now people were listening. During that leadership campaign Jeremy Corbyn is understood to have rejected pleas from some supporters for him to stand aside, having made his point and injected new life into Labour's left, to leave the field clear for a younger candidate who might have more electoral appeal. He appeared determined to make a go of the leadership. Many "moderate" shadow cabinet members returned to the backbenches rather than serve under him but he was able to put together a top team that reflected a broad range of opinion within the party. He sought to bring a new approach to leadership, adopting a less confrontational and more conversational tone at Prime Minister's Questions and generally refraining from either sound bites or photo opportunities - to the exasperation of what his supporters call the "mainstream media" and the derision of some commentators. The coalition behind Mr Corbyn held together for nine months, despite growing discontent among Labour MPs who had never wanted him as leader and could not accept either his style of leadership or his policies. The EU referendum brought things to a head. Corbyn, who had been a Eurosceptic as a backbencher, was accused of mounting a half-hearted campaign to keep Britain in the EU and of not appearing to care too much that his side had lost. Labour MPs, some of whom had been plotting to topple Corbyn at some point, saw this as the chance to make their move to try and force him to stand down, amid fears they would be wiped out at a snap election they expected to follow the referendum with him as leader. He faced a mass walkout from the shadow cabinet and then a vote of no confidence, which he lost by 172 votes to 40, as Labour MPs - enemies and previously loyal shadow ministers alike - urged him to quit. He refused to budge, pointing to the huge mandate he had received from Labour members and arguing that he had done better than many had expected in the electoral tests he had faced since becoming leader. MPs selected Owen Smith, a former member of his shadow cabinet who claimed to share the same left wing values, to take him on in another leadership election. So Jeremy Corbyn, the reluctant leader who had to be persuaded to stand in 2015, now found himself fighting to hold on to a position he never expected to hold, this time as favourite rather than as outsider. And, back on the campaign trail among his own supporters, he seemed to rather enjoy himself. As was the case a year earlier, thousands of people flocked to hear Mr Corbyn speak at rallies across the country - 10,000 turned up at a single event in Liverpool - as he sought to tap directly into grassroots support for his message as a counterweight to the perceived hostility of the "mainstream media". In an unconventional campaign which saw him endorsed by UB40 but vilified by JK Rowling, the only genuine moment of discomfort came during "traingate" - when his claims that a train was so "ram-packed" that he had to sit on the floor came into question after Virgin Trains released footage showing him passing empty seats. Mr Corbyn's re-election has strengthened his position, with signs some of his critics are willing to serve under him again despite their differences. But it remains to be seen whether his commitment to reach out to his opponents and focus squarely on winning the next election will act as springboard to a new phase of his leadership or prove only a temporary respite in what some have said is an existential battle for control of the party. Helsinki lead Finland's Veikkausliga with one loss in 16 games and scored 18 goals in their last five wins. But after Woolfe's cross-shot put Nomads ahead just before half-time, Helsinki could find no way through against a fine defensive effort. The Welsh side take their slender lead into the return leg on Thursday 6 July. The winners will face Moldovan side Dacia Chisinau or Shkëndija of Macedonia in the second qualifying round. Connah's Quay Nomads manager Andy Morrison told BBC Wales Sport: "It's a staggering performance and result, I am immensely proud of the lads. "It's a fantastic night for Connah's Quay and Welsh football. "I said before the game we had to respect this team. They have won six out of six and scored 20 goals and only conceded one goal, so they were flying in their league. "A lot of their players were being watched by European clubs. That team have aspirations of getting to the Europa League [group stage]. "But we don't fear anyone and that's the identity of this club. "When they walked off the pitch our lads had earned their respect... they were doing cartwheels in Uefa headquarters when they drew us, because we were probably the lowest ranked team in there." "They have had a wake-up call and it's going to be a hell of a game at their place. "It's going to be a massive ask but our lads have shown enough tonight and there is enough fight to go over there with no fear. "It's half-time. The preparation will be better this week looking at the game but we have also lost the element of surprise with the opposition. "It adds pressure on them though because they know if they lose that game it's an horrendous result for them with the history they have had in European football. "They have dominated Finnish football for two or three decades and are in Champions League or Europa League every year, so they are under pressure. "We will create problems and score a goal. We need to because you can't keep a team like that out for 180 minutes. "We showed last year we can get a goal away from home because we are very good in the final third with our set plays." Michael Macdonald, 30, fell in South Uist as he walked home from a friend's house at 02:00 on 27 November 2011. He is now seeking £20,000 damages from Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The local authority is contesting the action. Mr Macdonald, who at the time worked as a chef at the Lochboisdale Hotel on the island, said it was so dark on the night the accident happened that "if you put your hand up in front of your face you couldn't see it." He said he had gone to visit a friend after work, and was walking home when he realised he had left his keys at his friend's house. As he turned around, he caught the edge of a kerb and fell. Mr Macdonald said he was left hanging onto the lamp post after the accident before people came to help him, as he couldn't stand. Mr Macdonald, who now lives in Bornish, also on South Uist, said he had been expecting the street lights to be on. He had been living in Lochboisdale for about two years at the time of the accident, and claimed that normally the lights would stay on all night. He said there were no signs informing people that the lights were going off, and explained that had he known they were, he would have taken a torch. Mr Macdonald said he was "very sure" that the accident would not have happened had the lights been on. He said he still suffers stiffness and swelling following the fracture to his ankle. The counsel said the court may hear evidence that the council had taken the decision to save money by switching the lights off, despite the fact that the council knew "or ought to have known" that Lochboisdale had a population of about 300 residents. The court heard that staff and customers at the hotel might use the street in question after midnight, and also that the Barra ferry occasionally came in after that time. The judge hearing the action, Lord Matthews, was told that damages had been agreed at £20,000 if liability was established. Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar is contesting the case, which continues. Media playback is not supported on this device Murphy, who played under McCall for two years at Motherwell, could win his first cap against Denmark on Tuesday. Several wide attackers block his path to a berth in Gordon Strachan's squad. "If you're playing better than the other guy, regardless of how many caps he's got, you're fresh and taking on board the way we want to play, the door's open definitely," said McCall. "I think there's an opportunity - if you go in there and make an impression with Gordon, be it in training or round the place and in games." McCall believes the 26-year-old Brighton winger can make an impact, particularly if he does not allow his naturally unassuming personality prevent him playing a significant role in the team. Murphy will compete with the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Ikechi Anya, Shaun Maloney, Matt Ritchie, Steven Naismith and Matt Phillips for game-time. "Certainly in training he was fantastic," continued McCall. "The thing with Jamie - he sometimes doesn't believe in himself. He's got all the ability, old snake-hips. "He's a quiet lad. You try to get him to demand the ball from senior pros like Scott Brown or Shaun Maloney and the more training went on, the more he was doing it. "That's what you want. When you meet up you don't want people to be in the their shell." Murphy has scored six goals in helping Brighton to challenge for automatic promotion to the English Premier League and McCall feels the route he has taken has helped his progression as a player. "The improvement I've seen in Jamie - I think it was good he went to Sheffield United, I think that was a good stepping block but he's then got another move," added the coach. "I think sometimes boys coming from Scotland down to England - can you go to a club where you're going to play regularly? Jamie's done it well and who's to say he can't go higher? "With the progress he's making, I speak to people who see Brighton a lot and Jamie's been doing well and I'm really pleased with what he's done over the last couple of days. "And he should be confident. He's playing at a top level, for a good side who are aiming to get into the Premier League." Murphy himself is confident in his own ability to impress, despite a modesty that can be mistaken for nervousness. "I'm enjoying it while I'm here," he said. "I'm trying to do the best I can and try and prove to everyone I deserve to be here and hopefully I'll be involved on Tuesday. "The manager obviously thinks we deserve to be here so it's up to us to prove him right. "I've been doing well [at Brighton]. It's a tough league but I've managed to score some goals and I've played most of the games as well. We've got a good chance of getting promoted so we've got a big end to the season coming up. "I've scored a few goals in the last couple of months so the manager's obviously taken note and brought me in so it's up to me to keep trying to score goals and play well." Hendrie joined the Hammers from Hamilton for an undisclosed fee in July 2015, having made 117 appearances for the Scottish club. The 21-year-old, who has won three caps for Scotland's under-21 squad, has yet to feature for West Ham's senior team. Hendrie could make his debut for the Shrimpers when they visit Peterborough United on Saturday. "I spoke to his former manager, Alex Neil, to ask about the type character we're bringing in," manager Phil Brown told the club website. "He says he's a solid character, reliable, got bags of energy and probably his biggest asset will be his legs, as he can run all day. "He brings a lovely left foot to the party, as Ben Coker does, so he's got a great opportunity to get his career going in England at Southend United."

Abdelsalam al-Mahdawi was abducted at traffic lights on his way to work. It is not known who was behind the attack. Interior Minister Ashour Shwayel promised to find the officer and the perpetrators, news agency AFP reported. Libyan authorities have been struggling to provide security since the Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011. Last November, Benghazi's police chief was assassinated in a drive-by shooting. More than a dozen other security officers were killed last year in Benghazi, the city where the uprising began. AFP news agency quoted a security official as saying that the investigator "had many enemies". "He had files on everyone - Gaddafi loyalists, hard-line Islamists and common criminals," said the unnamed official. A group of police officers has staged a protest against the kidnapping. One held a banner asking: "Where are the men of Benghazi?" There has been a series of attacks against diplomatic missions and aid agencies in the city. They included a deadly assault on the US embassy in Benghazi in September last year. There have also been attacks against Sufi shrines and mosques. Witnesses say the attacks were carried out by militant Islamists. From 1 January 2014, restaurants may only serve olive oil in tamper-proof packaging, labelled to EU standards. The Commission, the EU's executive branch, says the move will protect consumers and improve hygiene. But critics have accused the EU of unwarranted meddling at a time of economic crisis. A Pew Research Center poll released on 13 May showed positive views of the European Union are at or near their low point in most of the eight countries surveyed. European Commission spokesman Oliver Bailly said the olive oil regulation would benefit consumers. "We are just making clear that when you want to have olive oil of a certain quality in a restaurant, you get exactly the one you are paying for," he told a news briefing in Brussels. But London restaurateur Sam Clark criticised the ban. "This will affect us. It is about choice and freedom of choice. We buy our oil, which we have selected from a farm in Spain, to serve our customers," he told the Daily Telegraph. Olive oil is a frequent target of food fraud, with cheaper oils being sold in its place to unwitting consumers. The EU's largest producers of olive oil - Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy - are among those hardest hit by the economic downturn. Alan Hepper, an MOD engineer, was giving evidence at the inquest into the death of 11-year-old Francis Rowntree. He said there was limited testing on rubber baton rounds before their introduction in July 1970. Francis, known as Frank by his family, was shot by a soldier with a rubber bullet in west Belfast in April 1972. He died in hospital two days later. That same year, accident and emergency doctors at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital had wanted to publish their findings in the British Journal of Surgery, but were told by a scientific adviser to the Ministry of Defence that it would not be in the public interest. The information pointed out that 80% of inpatients hit by the rounds had injuries to their head and neck. It also suggested that Frank Rowntree had been hit from two to three yards. 'Tumbled in the air' It suggested that soldiers must be made aware of the consequences of using the weapon, that it could kill, blind, or seriously injure some organs. The tests on potential wounding by the baton rounds had been carried out at the Defence, Science and Technological Laboratory, Porton Down, Wiltshire, by firing them in controlled circumstances at sheep. The court heard also that tests showed that the batons tumbled in the air and often hit their targets side-on, although they could also hit end on, causing rather more injury or damage. Mr Hepper, who works at Porton Down, agreed with a barrister for the Rowntree family that the chances of a target being struck end-on increased if a round was fired within 5-6 metres. It is thought that Frank Rowntree was struck from close range. Mr Hepper told the inquest that the effect and accuracy of the rubber baton round was tested more after its initial introduction. 'Far too dangerous' He also said that the amount of gunpowder used was increased twice in a bid to make it more accurate. A wooden baton round had been tested but quickly deemed to be far "too dangerous" and was never used operationally here. The rubber baton round was then developed at the request of Army HQ in Northern Ireland to provide an option between small-arms fire and the use of CS gas. The kind most commonly used by the Army in April 1972 was 15cm long, and fired with 55 grains of gunpowder at a speed of about 160mph. Mr Hepper showed the court some of the weapons that might have been used to fire such a round during a riot. The court heard it was most likely that a weapon called a "federal riot gun" would have been used by the Royal Anglian Regiment in April 1972. At one stage, the weapon was brought to the front of the courtroom for the coroner to see, and then closely examined and handled by barristers and members of the Rowntree family, including Jim Rowntree, the brother of Frank. It later emerged during cross-examination that in 1971 there were 16,752 baton rounds fired, and in 1972 there were 23,363. The rounds were designed to simulate a hard blow with a fist or a rigorous blow by a baton, but able to be caused by a soldier from a distance. It was recognised in the scientific papers at the time that the targets in Northern Ireland would most likely be teenagers and young adults. By December 1972, Army documents acknowledged that very serious injuries could be caused when rubber baton rounds struck the head or face. It emerged that an independent report compiled in 1982 observed that some rounds had been tampered with by soldiers in the past, with batteries or coins added to the case with part of the rubber round removed. There have been allegations that Frank Rowntree was struck with a battery. Mr Hepper agreed that whilst the testing of the baton rounds followed scientific principles, it was limited, hurried and piecemeal before the initial deployment of the weapon in July 1970. Durango resident Ron Cornelius awoke to find his Subaru SUV crashed at the bottom of the hill at the end of his driveway. "Usually, I don't get up at 5 o'clock unless there is a bear driving a car down the street," he joked to the Durango Herald newspaper. Two or three bears get stuck in cars each week in the area, officials say. The black bears have been searching for food inside cars because their typical food supply was decimated by a late season frost, La Plata County Sheriff's office spokesman Dan Bender told the BBC. Some bears have even learned to open car door handles, Mr Bender said, but added that this is the "first time they attempted to drive off with the car". The bear was not able to start the car, he explains, but at some point the bear must have released the gear, causing it to roll backwards downhill, crushing Mr Cornelius' mailbox. Mr Cornelius and his wife initially suspected robbers, but the actual culprit became clear after they look looked inside and viewed all the damage - plus the fresh bear excrement. The back window had been shattered, the radio was ripped out, and the steering wheel was pulled completely off the shaft. "It would have taken a human being hours to do what this bear did in a couple minutes," said Mr Cornelius. Local officials advise that people always remove food from their cars, and keep the doors locked. Kersten England has accepted an offer to become the chief executive at Bradford Council. She said she was proud of the six years she had spent in York and would "always want the best" for the city. Councillor David Green, leader of Bradford Council, said the appointment still had to be approved at the council meeting on 19 May. Ms England tweeted she was "very sad to leave the brilliant people and place that is York". Mr Green said: "The chief executive at Bradford Council is one of the biggest officer jobs in local government." The council employs about 20,000 people and currently has a budget of about £400m. It is not known when Ms England would start her new role. Tony Reeves the former chief executive left Bradford Council in 2014. The assembly bought the 19th Century property in the east of the city 13 years ago for £9m. While it remained unsold, it cost the assembly an estimated £400 a day on security and maintenance. It was recently advertised at £1.25m. It is understood the property will be used as a private residence. The Grade B listed building was bought for £9m in 2001 to provide extra office accommodation for the assembly. But it was later deemed unfit for that purpose. Ten years after it was bought, the property was put on the market with an asking price of £2.5m. It was not sold and the price was dropped. Last year, the Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt suggested Ormiston House might provide a venue for a new international trauma centre. But now the assembly has confirmed it is working to agree the sale of the property. A spokesperson said a new owner would take possession of the site when legal work was concluded. Neither the assembly nor the estate agent involved would comment on the identity of the buyer or the purchase price. The average weekly bill for security and repairs at Ormiston House is around £3,000. The assembly bought the property from the Police Authority, the predecessor of the Northern Ireland Policing Board. At the start of this year, security costs at Ormiston had come to £885,641, while maintenance and running costs added up to £371,379. Professional fees relating to repairs and maintenance added another £250,015 to the total bill, while a further £212,466 was spent on professional fees for development and planning. The property was previously owned by the shipbuilder Sir Edward Harland who remained there until 1887, when it was acquired by his business partner William Pirrie, who later became the chairman of Harland & Wolff. Shortly after Lord Pirrie's death in 1924, Harland & Wolff came into sole ownership of the property, selling it in 1928 to Campbell College, which held it until the mid-1970s. Robbie Brady robbed Michail Antonio of the ball and curled in a shot before Wes Hoolahan drove in a close range effort to put the home side 2-0 up. But Dimitri Payet slotted in for the Hammers after Victor Moses had a shot parried into his path. Payet then pulled the ball back for Mark Noble to steer in a shot and complete West Ham's comeback. Media playback is not supported on this device Hammers substitute Emmanuel Emenike had a great chance late on when he got on the end of an Andy Carroll flick on but he trapped the ball instead of diverting it towards goal and allowed keeper John Ruddy to gather. In a frantic finale, Nathan Redmond had a shot blocked by keeper Adrian, while a Norwich corner was also cleared from the Hammers goalmouth. Relive Norwich's dramatic draw with West Ham Follow reaction to Saturday's games Norwich were 3-1 up against Liverpool recently but contrived to lose 5-4 and they were at it again when it came to throwing away points from a winning position. At 2-0 up, they should have been easing to victory against a West Ham side that had suffered key injuries having been taken to extra-time in a midweek FA Cup replay win over Liverpool. However, when they needed cool heads, the home side capitulated as they lost their organisation and discipline. While the nature of the draw may feel like a defeat for the Canaries, they moved up one place and out of the relegation zone on goal difference following Newcastle's 5-1 thrashing by Chelsea in the later kick-off. "It is the same old story," said Brady. "We can't let teams back into the game when we have a two-goal lead." West Ham improved with the introduction of winger Victor Moses, whose powerful run forward and parried shot led to his side pulling a goal back. The goal breathed new life into the Hammers and, with Payet starting to have more of an influence, they finished the game stronger and equalised through Noble. "We were just thinking about getting the next goal [when we were 2-0 down]," said Noble. "They have had a tough time here at Norwich and we knew if we could get the goal it would be hard for them." Both league games between the two sides this season have now finished 2-2 and, while West Ham salvaged a point, they dropped a place to seventh in the Premier League after being overtaken by Southampton. Norwich manager Alex Neil: "We created good opportunities and it was a better performance than we have had recently. But from 2-0 up at home and with the way the game was going we should have seen it out. Media playback is not supported on this device "We will take a lot from the performance but we are disappointed we let a lead slip." West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "We are never happy with a point, we are not buzzing. But when that point comes after being 2-0 down it gives us confidence and satisfaction. "After Tuesday night (the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Liverpool) when we played 120 minutes, to show that kind of strength, resilience, character and quality makes us happy." Former Norwich striker Chris Sutton said he felt his ex-club would go down if they did not get a win against West Ham. He added: "I just think if you look at Liverpool when they were 3-1 up and lose, two goals up today, this will do Norwich so much damage psychologically." West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is keen for his side to go all out in the FA Cup and their next game sees the Hammers face a trip to Blackburn on Sunday, 21 February (14:00 GMT) in the fifth round of the competition. Norwich are not in action until Saturday, 27 February, when they visit Leicester in a 15:00 GMT kick-off. Match ends, Norwich City 2, West Ham United 2.

It is the highest honour that the city can bestow on an individual, and was first awarded in 1886. In 2008, councils set out to formalise who could be recognised with the title, demanding that recipients must fulfil at least one of the following criteria: Unlike freeman honours awarded in cities such as London, the Cardiff title is purely honorary, without any special privileges. In London, being given the freedom of the city historically bestowed the right to herd sheep over London bridge, to go about the city with a drawn sword, and if convicted of a capital offence, to be hung with a silken rope. In addition to individuals receiving freedom of the city, several organisations have also been recognised: Danns, 34, has made 21 appearances for the Shakers this season. Portuguese Correia, 22, has signed at 18-month contract, with a one-year option, having scored 11 goals this season for Northern Premier League North side Radcliffe Borough. Both players could feature against Colchester on Saturday. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page or visit our Premier League tracker here. The show will open in Southampton in October next year and tour across the UK and Ireland, before closing at London's Hammersmith Apollo. The production, which scooped two Tony Awards, features Green Day's music. "We can't wait for our friends across the pond to see the musical," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said. The production features the hit songs Boulevard of Broken Dreams, 21 Guns, Wake Me Up When September Ends, and the title track, American Idiot, from the band's Grammy Award-winning album. "We're excited to be bringing the US stage production of American Idiot to the UK and Ireland," said Armstrong. "We played to some of the most insane crowds when we toured the album there." The show's producers are hoping that the UK adaptation of the show will eventually transfer to the West End. In 2010, the Broadway show scooped the Tony Awards for best scenic design of a musical and best lighting design. It was also named the winner of the best musical show album at the Grammys earlier this year. The production opened at California's Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009, before moving to Broadway, where it remained for a year. Reviews were positive with Charles Isherwood, from The New York Times, calling the musical "thrilling" and The Stage's Mark Shenton describing it as "probably the most most compelling new musical of the Broadway season". Tickets for the UK tour are due to go on sale on 9 December. Needing to progress to remain on the World Snooker Tour, White, 54, lost 10-7 to fellow Englishman Jack Lisowski. White, a six-time runner-up at the Crucible, may need to enter May's Q School to regain a full tour card. In 2014, former world champions Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry were offered wildcards after losing their places. White, who has won 10 rankings events in his career, finishes outside of the world's top 64 after defeat at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. Two-time runner-up Matthew Stevens and former world number six Ricky Walden also lost in qualifying for the World Championship, which starts on 15 April. The 20-year-old was attacked near the Revolution Bar in Renfield Street at about 00:25 on Saturday 18 March. She was approached by the male attacker while she was sitting in a doorway, waiting for a taxi. Detectives believe the man in the photographs may have information that will help them with their inquiries. Det Con Paul Houston, of Police Scotland, said the streets were busy with people celebrating St Patrick's Day when the incident happened. "A young female has been left in a state of shock and distress having been assaulted following a night out with friends," he said. "This was a terrifying attack that took place in Glasgow city centre which left her deeply upset. "The city centre was busy with St Patrick's Day revellers and I'm appealing for the identification of this male as we believe he may be able to assist with the ongoing investigation." He urged anyone who recognised the man to contact police. The man in the images is white, aged between 20 and 30, and about 5ft 8in tall. He is of slim build and has brown hair. He was wearing a light-coloured jacket with a black cardigan or waistcoat and a white shirt underneath. He was also wearing dark trousers and distinctive trainers, with a white rim and white toe, possibly Converse. He was last seen walking north on Renfield Street at its junction with Bath Street. Policemen are being trained to use the weapons, despite concerns over their safety for crowd control. Abhishek Jorwal, chief of police in Haryana's Jind district, told the BBC that the slingshots "were made after a lot of research and development". The "specially-designed" slingshots would be in addition to batons, tear gas and other weapons currently in use. Mr Jorwal said the "idea is to avoid the use of lethal weapons against the protesters". "Officers have been instructed to use slingshots and tear gas shells, and keep guns and bullets as the last option." Marbles and chilli balls, packed in small bags carried by the policemen, will be used as ammunition for the slingshots. "Marbles and chilli balls won't cause any permanent damage but will pack enough punch to push protesters back," he said. Handmade weapons, such as slingshots, are rarely used as a weapon by security forces in India. But the use of non-lethal weapons, such as pellet guns, in trouble-hit areas such as disputed Kashmir has resulted in serious injuries to protesters and bystanders. Correspondents say there are concerns marbles and other objects fired from police catapults could also badly injure civilians. The untitled DreamWorks film is being produced by Spielberg who is also said to be considering a directing role, according to Variety. Hanks and Spielberg have previously teamed up for Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me if You Can and The Terminal. The new project is about real-life US lawyer James Donovan, who was enlisted by the CIA during the Cold War. Hanks will play Donovan, who had to negotiate the release of a pilot captured when his U2 spy plane was shot down over Russia. DreamWorks has declined to comment, but the film is thought to be one of several directing projects being considered by Spielberg, who is already producing the film along with Marc Platt. Other possibilities are Robopocalypse and the historical drama Montezuma, from American Gangster and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo writer Steve Zaillian. Spielberg won a best director Oscar for his 1998 World War Two epic Saving Private Ryan, which also saw Hanks nominated for his role as Captain John H Miller. Hanks is currently shooting indie film A Hologram for the King, based on the novel of the same name by Dave Eggers. Figures for July show 83.2% of patients waited less than 4 hours before being admitted, transferred or discharged. It was slightly down on the 83.3% figure in June, and still well below the 95% target. Fewer patients waited longer than the maximum 12 hour target than in June, but the Welsh Government said: "We know there is more work to be done." In July, 2,277 patients - one in 40 - spent more than 12 hours in urgent care units compared to 2,296 in June, although the Welsh Government's target states nobody should wait that long. A&E departments were busier in July than in June, with patient numbers up nearly 3,000 over the month to 89,265. A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "While there was a reduction in the number of people waiting over 12 hours in departments when compared with the previous month, we know there is more work to be done by Local Health Boards and key partners. This includes improving patient flow. "We continue to focus on delivering a whole system approach to unscheduled care, so that patients have better experiences and outcomes." Welsh Conservative health spokeswoman Angela Burns criticised the fact that the number waiting longer than 12 hours was still a thousand more than in July 2015. "There are a number of things which have contributed to this rise - too few hospital beds, difficulties in accessing GP appointments; and closing minor injuries units to name but a few," she said. "Today's figures are further evidence of the Labour-led Welsh Government's mismanagement of our healthcare system. "How much longer should our hardworking NHS staff and patients have to pay the price for that failure?" The 21-year-old could make his debut in the Euro 2016 qualifier with Slovenia at Wembley on 15 November. Berahino, who was born in Burundi, has scored seven goals in 10 Premier League matches for the Baggies this season. Michael Carrick, Stewart Downing and Theo Walcott are also included in a 26-man squad for the Slovenia game and friendly in Scotland on 18 November. Manchester United midfielder Carrick was left out of Hodgson's squad for the World Cup in Brazil and has only just returned from an ankle injury he suffered in the summer. Winger Downing, whose last cap came in May 2012, has earned a recall after impressing for West Ham this term. Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is recalled to the squad after recovering from a knee injury that kept him out for 10 months. Hodgson said Berahino, who has scored 10 goals in 13 England Under-21 appearances, had been in contention for the recent qualifiers against Estonia and San Marino. "He was obviously in our minds but we didn't choose him because of the importance of the two Under-21 qualifiers against Croatia," said Hodgson. "But this time they only have a friendly match, so there's no reason to pass over his credentials yet again." Hodgson added there was "never a realistic possibility" of picking Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge for the squad. He is suffering from a calf problem and has not played since he strained a thigh muscle just before England's clash with Switzerland in September. "We were hoping, of course, to get him back, but it hasn't worked out," Hodgson said. "I have left a message for [Liverpool manager] Brendan [Rodgers]. The message was that it is pretty obvious that Daniel is not fit, and Brendan's not rung back to counter that he actually is." Club-mate Glen Johnson has been left out even though he returned to action last month following a thigh injury. If he plays against Slovenia, Wayne Rooney will earn his 100th cap. England are top of qualifying Group E, having won all three games. Slovenia are second, with two wins and six points. "They have a lot of players who play for top clubs in Europe," Hodgson said. "We regard them as a very serious rival." Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Ben Foster (West Brom), Joe Hart (Manchester City). Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), Chris Smalling (Manchester United). Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Stewart Downing (West Ham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), James Milner (Manchester City, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Andros Townsend (Tottenham), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Theo Walcott (Arsenal). Forwards: Rickie Lambert (Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Welbeck (Arsenal), Saido Berahino (West Brom). Media playback is not supported on this device The Wales and Exeter prop has been suspended for eight weeks, but Baxter says he did not mean to make contact with the England front-rower's face. "I'm very confident there is no intent there," Baxter told BBC Sport. "Should you get lengthy bans for incidents with absolutely no intent? It's hard to say you should, isn't it?" The suspension means Francis will miss the rest of the regular Premiership season as second-placed Exeter try to make the play-offs for the first time in their history. "I feel a bit sorry for him," said Baxter. "I feel a bit annoyed for us as a club because these charges of reckless behaviour are all well and good, but the reality is if someone is entering a ruck and trying to hit with the shoulder, they've got to make contact with something, with their hands and with their arms. He added: "If it's someone's face with no intent, then it's a ban. If it's someone's leg or shoulder or arm with exactly the same intent, it's nothing. "As much as we've got to be mindful of player welfare, which is hugely important, I do think when we talk about some of these things that we need to be careful that two people can commit exactly the same action and one means nothing and is just clearing out a ruck, and another is an eight-week ban, and the intent to do things is exactly the same."

The world is doing less well than the IMF anticipated even six months ago. Growth is too low, unemployment too high, the recovery is feeble and we face the prospect of long term mediocrity if policy makers don't get their act together soon. Add to that a slew of international hotspots - from Ukraine, to the Middle East and now Hong Kong - which she told me the IMF is watching closely for any ripple effects, and it's clear the effects of the 2008 financial crash are far from over. Christine Lagarde was talking to the BBC's Katty Kay for World News America The Reds value the England international, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Real Madrid, at £50m. The 20-year-old joined Liverpool from QPR in 2010 and is under contract until 2017, but has rejected the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal. Boss Brendan Rodgers said last month he expected Sterling to stay at Anfield for the remainder of his current deal. The bid comes a day after City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak pledged to invest in players this summer. "You will see us in the market bringing in high-quality individuals that fit within what we are aspiring to," he said. Media playback is not supported on this device "We want a squad which is able and has the capability and quality to win the Premier League, to compete and win the Champions League and be able to go all the way in two cup competitions in England." City and England goalkeeper Joe Hart believes his club are planning to buy British this summer to avoid breaking Uefa competition rules, which require a quota of home-grown players in each squad. Hart is the only Englishman left in the City first-team squad following the departures of Frank Lampard and James Milner. "With home-grown rules, it will be top of their list to bring in English players or to promote some of the young lads," he said. Sterling was an influential figure as Liverpool came close to winning the Premier League in 2013-14, eventually finishing second to City. But the Merseysiders struggled this season, finishing sixth. Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said Sterling had the chance to become the club's "number one player" by staying at Anfield. Sterling was booed by sections of the crowd at last weekend's international in Dublin as England drew with Republic of Ireland. Aside from the links with City, new Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitezhas admitted he "admires" Sterling. Former Reds striker John Aldridge has criticised Sterling's agent Aidy Ward, who said last month that his player would not sign a new deal at Anfield even it was worth "£900,000 a week". Aldridge told BBC Radio 5 live: 'The way he has gone about handling the situation with Raheem is pathetic. He is better off where he is and his agent should see this. I feel sorry for the lad." On Sunday, Singapore will stop in its tracks as it hosts its sixth race around a 5.067km track that straddles the harbour of Marina Bay. BBC Sport takes a look at what needs to be done to make one of the most glamorous races on the calendar run smoothly. A 25,000-strong workforce begin preparations in May, four months before the race is due to take place. In a process rather like assembling the world's biggest Scalextric set, all race-related infrastructure will be taken out of a 38,000 square metre storage facility tucked away in eastern Singapore. There are thousands of items including concrete barriers, fences, cables, temporary bridges, ticketing booths and portable toilets. In total, 4,395 safety barriers and 10km of debris - or 'catch' - fencing need to be erected. A polymer modified binder, which was laid on the track surface to offer vehicles 20% more grip, is inspected and necessary repairs carried out to ensure it is fit for Formula 1. The lifespan of the road is expected to be extended more than five years beyond that of a normal road surface. A week before the race, 650 tonnes of F1 equipment belonging to race teams will arrive by air and sea freight. On the Wednesday before the race, the first of a series of gradual road closures begins in the Marina Bay area. A complete closure takes place at least an hour before each session, with access restricted to vehicles with the relevant passes. After a final round of inspections, at 03:00 local time on Friday morning, the Marina Bay Street Circuit is officially open for F1 business. Road restrictions are gradually lifted once the race is over on Sunday, with the final road reopening to traffic in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The rest of the temporary infrastructure - barriers, advertising hoardings, buildings - begin coming down almost immediately after the race, but the process is only completely finished up to a month after the race. In the first few years of hosting the race, work would go on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But in recent years, with experience, the majority of the workforce do normal five-day, 40-hour weeks. But organisers say they still only have a month or so off before they have to start planning for the following year's race. The race requires 108,423 metres of power cables, 240 steel pylons and approximately 1,600 light projectors, all of which must be installed over a period of three months. Formula 1 feels like a bubble, a strange parallel world, at the best of times - but that goes double at the Singapore Grand Prix. The night-race schedule means most people working at the race stay on European time, which is seven hours behind Singapore. So you eat dinner in the middle of the night, go to bed as the sun is coming up and wake up in the mid-afternoon. Though it sounds surreal it works surprisingly well, but it does mess with the mind in curious ways - the most obvious being that there seems to be more time in the day than at other races. The power requirement is 3,180,000 watts with an illumination measurement of around 3,000 lux - effectively four times brighter than floodlights in most football stadiums. The entire track, including the run-off areas, has to be lit consistently. The lighting system used needs to minimise glare and reflections from wet surfaces or spray from cars should it rain. And should one of the 12 twin-powered generators that creates the electricity fail, a substitute generator will kick in as a back-up. Each generator has its own dedicated engineer, waiting to solve any problems immediately. Apart from the track, organisers have to fill 700,000 square metres of public space with entertainment for paying fans. Last year, with a budget of £2.5m, there were 40 groups of entertainers, from bands to acrobats, performing on six temporary stages. Fans need to be fed, so six to 10 days before the event, various vendors are allowed into the circuit to set up stall while 15 security companies are taken on to ensure the event runs safely and smoothly. To ensure fans can get around the park easily, shuttle services, taxi stands and underground tunnels - the circuit goes over the top of six subway stations - are available. The Marina Bay Street Circuit is the second slowest 23-turn circuit on the calendar after Monaco, with an average speed of 172kph. Approximately 46% of the lap is taken at full throttle, compared with over 75% at Monza. Singapore by night is a shimmering cityscape of tropical beauty, which each year turns into an arena of physical hell F1 drivers The twisting layout is hard on the brakes, while the gearboxes also take a beating, with around 80 gear changes per lap. Drivers will complete 61 laps in the race - in 30C heat and 70% humidity - which takes a little under two hours to complete. A change to the circuit this year is at turn 10 - dubbed the Singapore Sling. The original layout, a three-turn chicane, was seen as dangerous by drivers with Kimi Raikkonen crashing there in 2008 and Lewis Hamilton describing it as 'the worst corner in Formula 1'. This year, it has been turned into a single-apex left-hand bend and, without the chicane, lap times are expected to be lower. Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel: "I think it's one of the toughest races of the year, so to win is an amazing moment and you feel you deserve the champagne! It's a very long race; the full two hours so the race just seems to go on forever. The circuit itself is a killer because there are so many bumps, there's no room for mistakes." McLaren driver Jenson Button: "I remember the first time we raced at Singapore [in 2008]; it seemed incredible to think that we could hold a Formula 1 race at night. I must say, the thrill and novelty of racing through spot-lit streets is just as intense for me today as it was when we first raced there - it's a unique spectacle, and one that I think is brilliant for F1. In fact, the Singapore Grand Prix is one of the wonders of modern sport." Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen: "I really like going to Singapore. It's a great place to be, I love the local food, and I don't mind the unusual times we run in the car as it means I don't have to get up so early. I have some unfinished business after my three grands prix there so far, as I enjoy the circuit but have not yet had a podium." Fernando Alonso may have led from start to finish to claim his second win on the Marina Bay circuit three years ago, but his battle with the hard-pushing Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel makes this a classic Singapore Grand Prix. The race had gone 35 laps largely incident free until Lewis Hamilton - just five points off the top of the drivers' standings going into the weekend - was eliminated from the race following a crash with then championship leader Mark Webber. After that, the focus was very much on the front of the pack as Vettel upped the ante on Alonso. The German kept himself around one second behind the Ferrari for the closing quarter of the race, and closed markedly over the final two laps. Just one mistake by Alonso would undoubtedly have let Vettel in to snatch victory, but the Spaniard kept his nerve to cross the finish line just two tenths of a second ahead of the Red Bull. The former PSNI chief officer, who retired at the end of March, has been awarded a CBE for her services to policing and the community. Bangor skier Kelly Gallagher, who won Britain's first ever Paralympic winter games gold medal, will receive an MBE. In all, 95 people from NI have been awarded honours. Ms Gillespie, who is originally from north Belfast, had been a police officer for more than 30 years. In 2004, she became the first woman to be appointed a Chief Officer (Assistant Chief Constable) in the history of Northern Ireland policing. She became Deputy Chief Constable in 2009. Among those awarded OBEs are Howard Hastings, for services to tourism and hospitality, and Neil Morton, principal of Portora Royal School in Enniskillen. Mr Hastings, chief executive of the Hastings Hotel group, said the award was a "great recognition for the tourism and hospitality sector". Mr Morton said he was "honoured beyond honour". "Coming to Portora has to be the highlight of my career, and that has extended for 12 years now. "It's an absolutely outstanding school, it serves a wonderful community, the students are first rate and my colleagues, those who teach, many of them are much more deserving of any honour than I am because of their commitment to their subjects, their pupils and their communities."

Queen's ambulance service medal (QASM) - Robert Francis Orr Visually impaired skier Gallagher said the honour was at the same level as winning gold last year. Her guide, Charlotte Evans, will also receive an MBE. The 29-year-old said: "It's absolutely surreal. It's the most beautiful honour that could be bestowed on Charlotte and I. "It's something really special for the two of us to share and be awarded. I'm so delighted." She added: "I'm so surprised nobody else has found out about it, because normally I can't keep a secret. The only people who knew were my mum and Charlotte." Others to receive MBEs include Eveleigh Brownlow, president of Portaferry and District Lifeboat Guild, and Councillor Sammy Brush, for services to the community. Cllr Brush has served on Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council for 21 years. Joe Hyland, chief executive of Belfast's SOS Bus, and John Tully, chief executive of last year's World Police and Fire Games, have also received MBEs along with an air-traffic controller at City of Derry Airport, David Reeves, and Deirdre Breen, branch manager at Lurgan Library. Chef and broadcaster Jenny Bristow has been awarded a British Empire Medal and said it was a "wonderful surprise". "It's really special to me," she said. "Over the years what started as a career of just simply cooking and showing people how to cook simple good food, now in Northern Ireland is addressing so many issues, such as obesity and all the fabulous food that we have here. "To have this endorsement on top of that work, that's just really very special and I'm just so excited." Four PSNI officers have been awarded the Queen's Police Medal, while Robert Orr, the area manager for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, has received the Queens's Ambulance Medal. Projections give her more than 60% of the vote, compared with just over 35% for her rival, Bernie Sanders. Mrs Clinton is now less than 30 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination, according to an Associated Press count. On Sunday Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders both campaigned in California, ahead of Tuesday's primary. Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders are in a dead heat in California, but delegates in the state are awarded on a proportional basis. Five other states also hold Democratic primaries on Tuesday, including New Jersey. In all, 694 delegates are up for grabs. Even if Mrs Clinton loses in California, she may still secure her party's nomination and take on the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Although they take part in the primary process, residents of Puerto Rico and other US territories are not entitled to vote in the presidential election. The star of stage and screen is to host public tours of the London locations seen in the film in which he played Richard III more than 20 years ago. The film, directed by Richard Loncraine, was set in an alternative fascist 1930s England. Locations included St Pancras station, Battersea Power Station and the building that is now Tate Modern. "I've always thought it might be fun to take a bus tour around the sites of Richard III," Sir Ian said at the BFI on Monday. "You would watch snippets of the film sitting in the coach and then arrive at the actual location and see it." The bus tour is part of the BFI Presents Shakespeare on Film season, which runs in April and May to mark the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death. Sir Ian is spearheading the project, which is billed as the BFI's biggest ever programme of Shakespeare on screen in the UK and across the world. A screening of Richard III, with a post-film on-stage discussion between Sir Ian and Loncraine, will be simulcast across UK cinemas on 28 April. The 1995 film's starry cast included Dame Maggie Smith, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Dame Kristen Scott Thomas, Robert Downey Jr and Dominic West. "What a cast we had!" Sir Ian said. "Half of Downton Abbey is in it. I was thrilled when Maggie, who is only a little bit older than me, agreed to play my mother." Other highlights of the Shakespeare on Film programme include: BFI head curator Robin Baker said the bus tour had been Sir Ian's idea and the details of the route were still being worked out. "The BFI has never done a bus tour - it's a definite first," he said.

He gave up his banking job one year later to dedicate himself fully in his new ambitious venture. The young entrepreneur wants to prove that quality shoes can be made in his country. Heel The World, which currently has 13 full-time employees, has built a website to take orders and relies heavily on social media for marketing.

Wenger's team play Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. He said: "It raises questions that we have to answer on Wednesday night. I still think we can win the league because mathematically it is possible." The 5-1 defeat at Anfield was only the fourth time in Premier League history that Arsenal have conceded five goals or more in a single game, but the second time this season The Frenchman's side were four goals down inside 20 minutes against Liverpool. Martin Skrtel finished from two set-piece deliveries to give the Reds a cushion after 10 minutes and Arsenal, buoyed by the return of midfielder Jack Wilshere from injury, failed to muster a response. Raheem Sterling joined Skrtel in scoring twice, while Daniel Sturridge also hit the net for a rampant Liverpool before Mikel Arteta pulled a goal back from the penalty spot. Watched from the stands by owner Stan Kroenke, the Gunners suffered their first away defeat since the 6-3 drubbing by title rivals Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in December. And Wenger said his "whole team" failed to perform at Anfield. "It is always what you make of a defeat that decides your future. We have a lot to answer and a lot of answers to find," he added. "It is perhaps better I don't talk too much and get on and respond well against Manchester United on Wednesday because I include myself in that performance." 12 Feb - Man Utd (away) 16 Feb - Liverpool (home) FA Cup 19 Feb - Bayern Munich (home) Champions League 22 Feb - Sunderland (home) After United's visit to north London, Arsenal face Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round next weekend, before a Champions League last-16 game against Bayern Munich. The run of fixtures, with key players such as Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott sidelined with injury, has been billed as crucial in Arsenal's season - and Wenger expects more from those available than was on show on Merseyside. The 64-year-old added: "The performance overall was poor on concentration and pace and our defensive stability was very poor. We always looked vulnerable defensively so it is congratulations to Liverpool. They were the best team and we were very, very poor. "We conceded two early goals on set-pieces and then you are in a position where you have to come out but we knew we had to be focused and at that kind of level. Our overall performance was just not good enough. "We are very disappointed but let's not lose our confidence and belief that we can do it." The California-based private-hire company had urged its users to oppose suggestions that had included a ban on apps being able to show where their nearby available vehicles were. The idea had been put forward following complaints from black-cab drivers about "unfair competition". Uber has celebrated the "victory". However, the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) said there had been a "missed opportunity". Other rejected measures included: Uber's drivers may still be inconvenienced by a new proposal. The Mayor, Boris Johnson, has asked Transport for London (TfL) to investigate whether all private-hire drivers should lose their exemption from the city's congestion-charge scheme. That would mean they would have to pay £11.50 to drive in a central zone on weekdays. TfL launched a public consultation into the private hire trade last September. It said it received 16,000 responses. The organisation still plans to adopt some of the other proposals it made including: TfL said a final decision on the proposed changes would be made on 17 March. Uber now has more than 25,000 drivers using its service in London, roughly matching the number of black-cab drivers. "We're pleased Transport for London has listened to the views of passengers and drivers, dropping the bonkers ideas proposed last year like compulsory five minute wait times and banning showing cars in apps," said a spokesman for the app. "It means Uber can continue to keep London moving with a convenient, safe and affordable ride at the push of a button." However, a spokesman for black-cab drivers had mixed feelings. "There are 93,000 private hire vehicles at the moment and that's soon to be 120,000," Steve McNamara, LTDA's general secretary, told the BBC. "They are a major contributor to congestion, so it's good common sense that they should have their exemption from the charging zone removed. "But what's happened [with the dropped proposals] is that Uber's power in Whitehall, Downing Street and beyond has put enormous pressure on Transport for London, and we've seen TfL's genuine desire to regulate private hire vehicles curtailed by the political pressure put upon it." Taxi drivers are not, however, giving up their fight. Some of them are organising a crowdfunding campaign to pay for a legal case that they hope will result in Uber's London licence being withdrawn. The effort has raised just over £48,000 of its £600,000 target so far. The lawsuit comes as the ride-hailing company is trying to restore its reputation amid a series of scandals. Uber chief Travis Kalanick has said he will take leave from the firm after a review of management and practices. Other top executives have also left and Uber has pledged other changes. Uber: Travis Kalanick's rollercoaster reign In December 2014, a 26-year-old Delhi woman, who has now moved to Texas and has filed the case anonymously, was raped by Uber driver Shiv Kumar Yadav. Yadav was subsequently sentenced to life in prison. As well as the criminal case, the woman had sued Uber, settling out of court. However, she filed a new suit in the US on Thursday after reports emerged that Uber had investigated the complaint, obtained her medical records and speculated that she made up the claims to hurt the firm's business. She has alleged that Uber violated her privacy and defamed her character. An Uber spokesperson said: "No one should have to go through a horrific experience like this, and we're truly sorry that she's had to relive it over the last few weeks." The lawsuit names Mr Kalanick, and former executives Emil Michael and Eric Alexander. Mr Alexander left the company last week after US reporters asked questions about the incident. Department for Education data shows 10% of nursery staff earn less than £7.20 an hour the minimum for over-25s. The Family and Childcare Trust says the government must ensure the nurseries it subsidises do not flout the law. But a group representing private, voluntary and independent sector nurseries rejected the trust's claims. Ellen Broome, deputy chief executive of the Family and Childcare Trust, said nursery workers cared for and educated the next generation and deserved decent pay. "But instead they are being exploited and paid illegal poverty wages. This cannot be right," she said. She urged central and local government to act immediately to make sure that every childcare worker was paid a decent wage and that taxpayers' money did not go to employers who broke the law. "High quality childcare does not come on the cheap," she added. The trust took data from the DfE's childcare provider survey published last month. It then took figures on the total number of childcare workers from research carried out by the Institute of Education in London. But the Pre-Schools Learning Alliance, which represents private, independent and voluntary early years settings, said: "The DfE survey that this claim is based on began collecting data in March 2016 - the month before the National Living Wage was actually introduced." It is clear, however, from the published survey that the data collection went on until July. The Pre-Schools Learning Alliance said: "No childcare provider should be paying their employees less than the national minimum or living wage, and it is of course right that any instances of this happening are investigated and dealt with appropriately. "However, we completely reject the claim that such breaches are happening on anywhere near the scale that the Family and Childcare Trust are suggesting, and our analysis of the same DfE data indicates that any such suggestions are both misleading and irresponsible." It said: "There's no doubt that low pay in the early years sector remains a significant problem, and one that the government has turned a blind eye to for far too long," said the Pre-School Learning Alliance. "However, reports like this do little to help the situation. Instead of unfairly and inaccurately criticising 'greedy childcare providers', we should be looking to address the issue of chronic underfunding, the real cause of low pay in the sector." But the Family and Childcare Trust said it was surprised that little action appeared to have been taken against those employing staff at low rates of pay. Twenty-two childcare providers have been subject to enforcement action from Revenue & Customs for non-payment of the minimum wage. A Department for Education spokesman said: "Our model agreement clearly sets out that if providers do not comply with their legal obligations, councils can terminate their funding to deliver our childcare offers." It has recently invested an extra £1bn a year to fund free hours entitlements for three- and four-year-olds and some two-year-olds at nurseries in England. Under the deal, Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) will provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services to four offshore assets and two onshore facilities. The five-year contract includes an option for two one-year extensions. It is the second major oil sector deal Wood Group has picked up this month. In mid-March, the Aberdeen-based company won a contract from Statoil worth more than £40m to expand and upgrade a Norwegian gas processing plant. Under the Total deal, WGPSN will continue to provide services for Total's Alywn, Dunbar, Elgin and Franklin platforms and the St Fergus Gas Terminal. It will also support the Shetland Gas Plant, the onshore receiving facility for Laggan/Tormore, which will start production later this year. WGPSN UK managing director Dave Stewart said: "Our knowledge and in-depth understanding of this key client's needs, and our strong commitment to working safely, collaboratively, innovatively and efficiently to maximise productivity of these assets, helped us to secure this contract." Ho Lye Toh was a teenager who could lift weights of up to 100kg (220lb). Now 92, she might be Singapore's most famous nonagenarian after her remarkable life story surfaced in an article earlier this year and enraptured the city. Her father was Ho Peng Khoen, a school teacher and former Malayan weightlifting champion. In 1941, he made a decision that changed her life. "I was 14 and I fell sick quite often, sometimes so bad that I would pass out. So my father decided I should begin exercising to build body strength," Madam Ho said. "He was the reason I got started on weightlifting. He taught me how to press and pull weights and dumbbells and I did that every evening after I came back from school." Her father doted on her, motivating her with small presents during training sessions. "He would tell me that if I could increase the weights by five pounds, I'd be given 10 cents, which was a lot of money back then." He kept adding to the weights and she would try her best to lift them, just to earn more money, until she was happily lifting 100kg before she turned 20. As Madam Ho's confidence grew, her father decided to enter her and her sister into the Miss Singapore beauty pageant, which was organised at that time by a local sports club. "I don't know why I won! But I took first place and my sister came in second," she said. She is at pains to add that in those days she curled her own hair and wore face powder costing only 20 cents. "Singaporean girls today are all quite skinny and modern; very different compared to the contestants of my time," Madam Ho recalls. She and her sister were among a handful of local girls in the pageant. The rest of the contestants were Europeans and the audience was made up of mainly Australian and British soldiers. The contest rules were "simple" and only involved a body examination by a doctor, to determine if the costumes fitted properly. There were also no interviews or prizes, "only a sash," she remembers. Madam Ho earned the title of Miss Singapore three times during her teenage years. Her sister also went on to win other beauty pageants. But then World War Two came and Japanese troops captured Singapore, a British colony at the time, in 1942. During the three-year occupation, most Singaporeans lived in fear of the Japanese military police and life changed dramatically. "I was about 21 years old then and we had to stop all activities because of the war so I was made to stay at home," she said. Her father invited Japanese soldiers to dinner in an effort to befriend them to ensure they did not make trouble for the family. There was also pressure from the family to marry her off but her father resisted, vowing that if troops took his daughters away, he would kill them. But the family's fear was so intense that her mother burned her treasured pageant prize - her Miss Singapore sash - in case it attracted unwanted attention. "It's gone now. But at least I still have photos to remember it by," she says with a rueful smile. She then joined the beauty contest again for "one last time" in 1948. "My boyfriend at the time told me not to keep entering because I would always win! So I stopped after that and my sister won." Alyssa Woo, who first uncovered Madam Ho's story in April, says she was amazed at how the story spread and gathered popularity. "What I wanted to say was that the beauty standards during Madam Ho's time and now are very different and she is living proof of timeless beauty - even at age 92," Ms Woo told the BBC. "I also hoped that her story would teach our generation that speaking to older people is actually very interesting and we shouldn't write them off so easily." Today, Madam Ho enjoys spending her time playing mahjong, travelling and most especially doting on her 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, who have even set up a dedicated Facebook page which she uses occasionally. The family also recently celebrated her 92nd birthday last month, by paying tribute to her era with a 1920s-themed dinner. "She doesn't think like a 92-year-old woman," said her grandson Adrian Wong. "She still views herself as being very much independent and healthy and we are all very proud of her for doing all that she has been doing all these years." Her granddaughter-in-law Madelaine attributes Madame Ho's longevity to her active past. "I truly believe it's her weight-lifting, that's something very unique to her." The Duke, who is 91, has been recuperating at Balmoral after spending several days in hospital in Aberdeen with a bladder infection. Organisers were concerned Prince Philip would not be well enough to attend. The Gathering, held at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park, is seen as the biggest event in the Highland Games calendar. It has a long history, stretching back in its modern form nearly 200 years. The Duke accompanied the Queen, who is patron of the Games, to watch traditional events, including the tossing of the caber and the tug of war. Prince Philip spent five nights at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a "precaution" after a recurrence of a bladder infection he had in June. Last weekend, the Duke made his first public appearance, since leaving hospital on 20 August, when he attended a church service at Crathie Kirk. In June he was admitted to hospital with the same infection the day after braving cold, wet and windy conditions on the royal barge for several hours during the Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames. Prince Philip spent five nights in London's King Edward VII Hospital and missed some of the key celebrations of a special bank holiday weekend marking the Queen's 60-year reign. Northern Irishman McIlroy, 26, mixed five birdies with three bogeys to go 10 under for the tournament, which has been affected by fog delays. American Rickie Fowler, ranked sixth in the world, tops the leaderboard after shooting 65. Joost Luiten of the Netherlands carded a 68 and is two shots off the pace. The fourth round is due to be completed later on Sunday. The announcement was made as Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premiered on US TV on Wednesday on the Syfy channel. It ended with a piece of space shuttle hurtling towards April, played by Tara Reid, and the caption: "You decide if #AprilLives or #AprilDies". Sharknado 3 will premiere on Syfy in the UK on Thursday. As the film reached its cliffhanger, a voice-over informed US fans they would find out the outcome of the Twitter vote and April's fate in a fourth instalment of the franchise. "Now's your chance to be part of Sharknado history," it said, "You decide if April lives or April dies. "Her fate will be revealed in Sharknado 4. Because we're not done yet!" Reid confessed the twist came as a surprise to her too, telling the Hollywood Reporter: "That was a shocker! I didn't expect that!" "I think that's going to be a big turning point for the franchise. It gives it some excitement, and it's giving the fans a chance to interact. "No matter what happens, I'm proud to be a part of this phenomenon." After the first two films saw a tornado of sharks hitting first LA and then New York, Sharknado 3 sees the action moving to Washington and Florida. The made-for-television disaster film also stars Ian Ziering as Fin and David Hasselhoff as Fin's dad, as well as cameos from Jerry Springer, Bo Derek and former X Factor stars Jedward, who recorded the theme song. The Sharknado franchise has taken social media by storm, with the first two films generating more than a billion tweets between them. Sharknado producer, Chris Regina, hopes this latest stunt will prove just as engaging. "I'm hoping that we're going to break the internet this time with the "April lives, April dies" at the end," Regina told Hollywood Reporter. "I think it's going to be precedent-setting. I can't think of an instance where another network has done something of that nature at the end of an event. Hopefully it's a TV first." But despite fans' interest in the franchise, it has yet to win over the critics. "Having now watched "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" I find myself in the position of having to write about it. And I am not sure which is worse, really, or even how to proceed," said Robert Lloyd, writing in the LA Times. The Telegraph's reviewer Michael Hogan found the film, "so self-referential and in-jokey that the franchise is in grave danger of eating itself." He added: "It frequently felt more like Victoria Wood's wobbly-setted soap spoof Acorn Antiques than a proper production." IGN's Matt Fowler writes that it is "often shockingly awful" and concludes: "Sharknado 3 is bad, as it should be. As it must be. "I only wonder how much time we're all willing to devote to something that's now totally awful by demand." Fans can vote for what they want to see happen in Sharknado 4 on Twitter or on Syfy's dedicated website. Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! airs on Syfy in the UK at 22:00 BST on Thursday 23 July.

The US rapper says the song, used in the 2014 advert by the National Party, was an unlicensed version of Lose Yourself, one of his biggest hits. But the party's lawyers argue it was not actually Lose Yourself, but a track called Eminem-esque which they bought from a stock music library. The case began on Monday, with the two tracks played in court. A lawyer for Eight Mile Style - a publishing group representing the artist - said Lose Yourself was "iconic" and "without doubt the jewel in the crown of Eminem's musical work". The 2014 advert featured shots of rowers and a voiceover urging people to "keep the team that's working" and return the National Party to office at the coming election. The backing track, Eminem-esque, was strikingly similar to Lose Yourself, which appeared in Eminem's 2002 film 8 Mile. It had the same insistent driving rhythm, though did not feature any words. The track had been taken from a library made by production music company Beatbox. Songs which sound similar to famous tracks - but different enough to avoid breaching copyright - routinely feature in free-to-use commercial music libraries. But Eight Mile Style lawyer Gary Williams said the use of the song had been a breach of copyright. He told the court that emails showed some in the National Party campaign team had raised copyright concerns at the time, but decided the composer, not them, would be liable. That was "just wrong, in law" Mr Williams said, according to the New Zealand Herald. Mr Williams said permission had only very rarely been given for use of Lose Yourself. "When licensed, it can command in the millions of dollars. That's how valuable it is," he said. The National Party denies being responsible for any copyright infringement. Defence lawyer Greg Arthur said copyright was "not in any way proven by the name given to a piece of music". The case is expected to continue for six days.

Eminem has taken New Zealand's governing party to court over a music track it used for a campaign ad.

The Trussell Trust said on average people needed 1.7 referrals, suggesting 35,000 individuals received help. From April to September its food banks gave out 60,458 three-day emergency supplies, a rise of 17% on last year. Delays in receiving benefits was the most common reason cited for financial hardship. About 28% of recipients said this was the reason they were in difficulty, the same proportion as last year. The percentage of referrals due to benefit changes dropped from 18% to 16%. The proportion of those referred due to low income increased from 18% to 21%. The trust's Scotland network manager Ewan Gurr said he was worried low income would become a bigger problem in the coming months. He said: "Difficulties related to welfare benefits are still driving the majority of people to our Scottish food banks but now one in five of those referred is on a low income. "Among that number is a growing body of people in low paid employment who are simply unable to make the pay cheque stretch far enough when crisis hits. "The increasing instability of the oil, gas and steel industries has already led to significant numbers of people being made redundant and figures revealed in the last week also show that unemployment has risen in Scotland while decreasing in the rest of the UK." The trust said it also feared a repeat of last year when low income referrals increased sharply in December as fuel costs became an extra drain on household finances. Reacting to the figures, SNP MSP Kevin Stewart said they were "alarming". He added: "The figures also show that UK government benefit changes and delays continue to be the most common reason for people seeking emergency food aid. "While Tory ministers have their head in the sand on the issue, the Scottish government recognises this link and is spending almost £300m over three years to mitigate Tory social security cuts. "That any government would consider further cuts to the incomes of the poorest families in our society in the face of such clear evidence of rising poverty is appalling - yet George Osborne is set to plough ahead with £12bn more social security cuts." A UK government spokesman said: "Our reforms have secured record employment, a near record number of job vacancies and a growing economy. "We maintain a strong social safety net and continue to spend around £80bn on working age benefits. "We know that the reasons for food bank use are complex and overlapping and it is spurious to claim that it is driven by changes to welfare. "Work remains the best route out of poverty and thanks to this government's long term economic plan thousands of people are experiencing the dignity of a job, the security of a wage and the peace of mind that comes from supporting your family, many for the first time." In terms of food donated, the figures revealed Scotland was second only to the north west of England. When populations were compared, the statistics also suggested that a disproportionately high number of people were being referred to food banks in Scotland compared to other parts of the UK, the trust said. Scottish Labour's equality spokesman Neil Findlay said: "In a country as wealthy as Scotland it is unacceptable that more than 60,000 people had to rely on food banks over the last six months. As winter approaches, the need for extra support is only going to increase. "These figures should act as a wake-up call to both of Scotland's governments. After eight years of the SNP in office, and more than five years of the Tories, the gap between the richest and the rest in Scotland remains unacceptably high." The Trussell Trust describes itself as a charity "motivated by Christian values." Its 50 Scottish food banks are part of a network of 425 across the UK. Everyone who comes to its food banks is referred by a professional such as a social worker, health visitor or schools liaison officer.

Food bank use in Scotland has increased to record levels, with more than 60,000 referrals over a six-month period, according to a charity.

Number five Chase was bowled by seamer Callum Taylor, who also removed opener Kraigg Brathwaite for a patient 61 as he ended the day with 2-33. Jermaine Blackwood scored 59, adding 116 with Chase for the fifth wicket. The three-day match is the first of three before West Indies start a three-Test series against England at Edgbaston on 17 August. The bridge, which crosses the River Thames, opened in September and allows cyclists and pedestrians from Caversham to access Reading Station and the town centre. Residents can vote for one of four names until 21 March. The 400ft (120m) bridge was met with a mixed response from cycle campaigners who wanted a dedicated lane for cyclists. The bridge, which was funded by Reading Borough Council, is made of 455 tonnes of steel and has a mast which was imported from the Netherlands. Councillor Tony Page said: "The new bridge is already established as a key landmark for Reading. "The shortlist of names selected reflects public feedback received, both before and after the bridge opened. It includes both historical names, as well as names which reflect the bridge surroundings." The winning name will be announced at a council meeting on 22 March. The 6' 4" centre-half was released by Crewe at the end of last season. A former Histon team-mate of current Dons' players Jack Midson and Gareth Gwillim, Mitchel-King suffered back and hernia injuries last season. The 27-year-old, who can also play in midfield, underwent an extensive medical before Wimbledon completed the signing. Mitchel-King made 147 appearances for Histon, and was a member of the side that beat Leeds United in the FA Cup in November 2008. After moving to Crewe in June 2009 he was made captain, and made 46 appearances before injuries interrupted his progress. Wimbledon have also confirmed they have taken up contract options on forward Luke Moore and defender Fraser Franks. The 39-year-old is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. Mr Carson was shot dead in his house in Walmer Street in the Ormeau Road area last week. Earlier on Tuesday, two west Belfast men appeared in court charged with Mr Carson's murder. Michael Smyth, 37, from Ardmonagh Gardens, and David Smyth, 32, from Monagh Drive appeared at Belfast Magistrates Court. A judge was forced to clear the court for a time as police were called in to restore order and move members of the public out during the hearing. There was shouting when the defendants appeared. When the court resumed the two defendants were remanded in custody to appear in court again via video link later this month. Poppy Smart said she reported workmen at a site in Worcester to police after being regularly singled out over the course of a month. Builder Ian Merrett, who admitted wolf-whistling at Ms Smart, said "no harm was intended" by his actions. West Mercia Police said it was a matter for the men's employers. Mr Merrett said harrassment accusations had been "blown out of all proportion". "It's always been part of it [the trade]," he said. "No harm was intended. It's all got out of hand, no offence meant. "I can understand her comments. Some girls don't mind it, some girls do. "I may have annoyed her, I've maybe upset her a bit, but as far as harassment goes, if she'd come up to me or one of the other builders and said 'I don't like it, can you stop it', I'm sure we would have taken that into consideration." Ms Smart said she had faced whistles and cat-calls from several builders over a few weeks and "eventually it got to the day where I had enough". She said it was time the "culture was brought up to date" and that she found the behaviour "intimidating and distressing". Mr Merrett said he had come forward as other builders, many innocent, had been unfairly shown on television and in news reports. He said the contractor had told employees to stop whistling and the call had largely been respected. "I've been on building sites since I was 18. Loads of people used to do it [wolf whistle]," he said. "If you were sat there with your mates in the sun having a fag and a nice bit of totty walks past, yeah we used to wolf whistle and we never got into trouble for it." However, he said he would now think twice about doing it again after the "hassle". Up to 14 administrators and head teachers were marched barefoot through the town of Comitan after they defied a strike. A faction of Mexico's teacher's union, the CNTE, allegedly placed signs around their necks saying they were traitors. Many of them had their heads shaved while crowds of people watched. The ombudsman, Luis Gonzalez Perez, said protests needed to remain within the law. Mexico's Education Secretary Aurelio Nuno said he would ensure those responsible were punished. The Teachers Union have accused "agents of the state" of infiltrating their ranks to discredit their strike action. The BBC Mundo correspondent in Mexico, Juan Paullier, says these type of incidents are not unusual in Mexican education. Last year alleged members of the CNTE shaved the heads of teachers in Chiapas because they had opposed their strike action. The CNTE has been on strike in Mexico City since 15 May and has been conducting a series of protests. It opposes education reforms introduced in 2013 which include new measures to evaluate teachers. Liam Williams, Scott Williams, Jonathan Davies and Leigh Halfpenny all missed the loss to the Springboks with injury. Wales failed to convert early pressure at Twickenham and were beaten 23-19 after Fourie du Preez's late try. "I'm convinced if Wales would've had Liam Williams and Scott Williams they would have scored," said Davies. Centre Scott Williams was ruled out after being injured during the Pool A win over England, while full-back or wing Liam Williams had his participation ended by a foot injury in the defeat by Australia. Both are unlikely to recover in time to play any part in the 2016 Six Nations. Coach Warren Gatland also lost centre Corey Allen and wing Hallam Amos during the pool stages, while centre Davies, full-back Leigh Halfpenny and scrum-half Rhys Webb were pre-World Cup casualties. Halfpenny, Davies and Liam and Scott Williams have scored 33 tries between them for Wales. Gatland refused to use the long injury list as an excuse for his side's exit, but former fly-half Davies said the absence of key backs deprived Wales of the "killer instinct" needed to punish the best teams in the world at crucial moments. "We had to score tries when we had two men extra [against Australia in the pool stage]," he said on BBC Wales' Scrum V programme. "We were slightly one-dimensional because of injuries. "Liam Williams, Scott Williams and Leigh Halfpenny stay out wide and stretch defences and would have scored tries. "Irrespective of the scrum and the penalties, we were depleted and that's the reason we didn't win." Media playback is not supported on this device Saturday's defeat means Gatland has lost 28 of 30 games against South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. While acknowledging Wales have closed the gap on the southern hemisphere's dominant forces, former Wales flanker Martyn Williams believes a chasm remains when instinctive creativity is needed. "The game plan has been what it is for so long. That's got its strengths and weaknesses," he said. "The strength is all the players know what's expected of them and they get it every time. The downside to that is sometimes when you need to think outside the box, like when we had 15 against 13 against Australia, you've got to react on the field. "We sometimes struggle with that. If we are going to take that next step I'm sure the coaches and the players will look at it." Gertrude Hill, 92, and Gwendoline Snell, 85, of Devon, lost up to £80,000 having invested money with ex-financial adviser Lee Chapman, Exeter Crown Court was told. Mr Chapman, 49, his brother Mark, 51 and Marc Payne, 43 face multiple counts of fraud-related charges. The three men deny all charges. The Chapman brothers, from Merton in North Devon, and Mr Payne, from Swimbridge, are accused of luring eight elderly people to invest £558,000 in worthless companies with links to Lords Cricket Club. Mrs Hill, from Torrington, was too frail to give evidence in person but the jury was played a video of her police interview. The court heard she invested sums of £30,000 and £38,000 and at one stage was driven to her building society by former Prudential financial adviser Lee Chapman to take money out. Mrs Hill said: "I trusted Lee with my life. I had known him for years and he always wrote out my cheques for me. I invested in the company because he asked." Mrs Snell, from Westward Ho!, said she knew Lee Chapman from his days as "the man from the Pru" and when he asked her to invest money she agreed. She said Mr Chapman wrote cheques, which she signed, and on one occasion drove her to her bank to take out £500 in cash to invest. In total, she invested £17,721 but her two daughters succeeded in getting £5,000 back after going to Mr Chapman's home to confront him. The trial continues. Tens of thousands of Cubans attended the ceremony, as well as world leaders. Raul Castro vowed to honour the socialist principles and goals of the revolution led by Fidel, who died on 25 November aged 90. He also announced that Cuba would ban naming any monuments or roads after Fidel Castro, at the request of the late leader. "The leader of the revolution strongly opposed any manifestation of cult of personality," said Raul Castro. No statues or busts of Fidel will be erected in Cuba, he said. The urn with his ashes will be interred on Sunday in Santiago, known as the birthplace as the Cuban Revolution. It arrived on Saturday in Santiago, after a four-day journey from the capital, Havana. Large crowds shouting 'Long live Fidel!" and "I am Fidel!" greeted his funeral cortege through the streets of Santiago. The leaders of Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia have attended the ceremony. "All of us who love Fidel, who is a father to us. He cleared a path for us and the people will follow him," Tania Maria Jimenez told Reuters. She was among thousands of Cubans watching as the urn with Mr Castro's ashes was driven past the historic Moncada barracks in Santiago. Fidel Castro was part of the small group of revolutionaries who launched an attack on the barracks on 26 July 1953. The attacked failed, but it was considered the first act of the revolution that would depose the US-backed government of Fulgencio Batista on 1 January 1959. Opinion on Fidel Castro, who ruled Cuba as a one-party state for almost half a century, remains divided. Supporters say he returned Cuba to the people and praise him for some of his social programmes, such as public health and education. But critics call him a dictator, who led a government that did not tolerate opposition and dissent. Raul Castro took over when his brother's health deteriorated in 2006. Fidel Castro's ashes will be placed in the Ifigenia Cemetery, where Cuban independence hero Jose Marti is buried. It follows a row over the deployment of armed officers on routine patrols. Ch Supt Julian Innes, the area's divisional commander, told BBC Scotland: "I make most of the local decisions that take place here. "But there are some standards across the whole of Scotland that, quite rightly, the senior management team will make." Scotland's eight police forces merged into Police Scotland in April 2013 and critics claim that fears about centralisation and a loss of local accountability following the amalgamation are becoming a reality. Councillors in the Highlands have criticised the police for deploying armed police on regular patrols. Meanwhile, in Dumfries and Galloway, there are concerns about an increase in stop and search methods as well as more licensing restrictions on events like the Wickerman Festival. However, senior officers say all policy decisions can be reconsidered to take account of regional conditions and concerns. "Things are different across Scotland and, if we use the firearms as an example, the amount of officers that are deployed routinely using firearms here is completely different to other parts of Scotland where the threat and risk is different," insisted Ch Supt Mr Innes. Highland Council last month asked Police Scotland to review its decision to arm officers in its area. A small number of specially-trained officers in the area have been routinely carrying side-arms since before April last year. Cllr David Alston, Highland Council depute leader, said: "It runs so contrary to the real improvements in our society, the reductions in violence. "Why, at the point when there is less violent crime in the Highlands than ever before, should we suddenly have armed police on the streets? It simply doesn't make sense." Concerns that the nature of policing is changing were echoed by Cllr Finlay Carson of Dumfries and Galloway Licensing Board. "I know there were fears initially that, when Police Scotland came into force, we would get Central Belt policies applied across the country and it would appear that these fears have come true and we're seeing Strathclyde policing policies imposed in rural areas - something that we didn't really want to see." Hugh Blaise O'Neill, 62, had previously admitted indecently assaulting 13 mainly new female recruits, when he was medical adviser to Norfolk Police. The police assaults took place between 1991 and 2001. O'Neill had been jailed for 12 years in January 2015 for raping two girls between 1995 and 2002. Prosecutors at Norwich Crown Court said there had first been complaints of assault made by police recruits in 1993 following medical examinations. For more on this and other stories visit the BBC Norfolk Live page Kate Davey, prosecution counsel, said little was done by Norfolk Police, and O'Neill, of Tasburgh near Norwich, carried on abusing females in a "gross and repeated" breach of trust. She said: "A number of recruits had spoken to each other and to the authorities about what happened. "Dr O'Neill was told about the claims in 1993, but no further investigations followed. "It speaks volumes about his attitude that... he carried on abusing women for another nine years." The force began investigating the crimes against its officers after O'Neill was jailed for the other offences, which related to two girls under the age of 14, but were not connected to his work as a GP at Horsford Medical Centre. Sentencing him to the additional three years, Judge Anthony Bate said: "You are a disgrace to an honourable profession." Michael Claire, defence counsel, said his client "continues to deny all matters, but has his own reasons for pleading guilty". Norfolk Police said another force would carry out a professional standards investigation. Outside court, Det Supt Kate Thacker said: "There are strong feelings among the victims and we will seek to support them." The 28-year-old West Bromwich Albion forward has been struggling with a leg injury. Robson-Kanu's place is taken by uncapped 17-year-old Swansea City winger Daniel James. Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn had earlier pulled out of the trip to because of a calf injury. Woodburn, 17, was replaced in the 23-man squad by another uncapped player, Marley Watkins. Watkins, who has agreed a move to Norwich City from Barnsley, had been part of Wales' recent training camp in Portugal. Swansea's James was a member of the Wales Under-20 side which played at the Toulon Tournament and scored the winner against Bahrain. Serbia are top of Group D, four points ahead of third-placed Wales with five games remaining. Forward Gareth Bale and defender Neil Taylor are suspended for the game against Serbia, while defender James Collins and midfielders Andy King and Jonny Williams are injured. Goalkeepers: Wayne Hennessey (Crystal Palace), Danny Ward (Liverpool), Owain Fon Williams (Inverness Caledonian Thistle) Defenders: Ashley Williams (Everton), Chris Gunter (Reading), James Chester (Aston Villa), Ben Davies (Tottenham Hotspur), Jazz Richards (Cardiff City), Joe Walsh (MK Dons), Tom Lockyer (Bristol Rovers), Gethin Jones (Everton) Midfielders: Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Joe Ledley (Crystal Palace), Emyr Huws (Cardiff City), Dave Edwards (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Joe Allen (Stoke City), Lee Evans (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Harry Wilson (Liverpool) Forwards: Tom Lawrence (Leicester City), Daniel James (Swansea City), Sam Vokes (Burnley), Tom Bradshaw (Barnsley), Marley Watkins (Norwich City) The Giants took the lead when Jermaine McGillvary touched down but the visitors fought back through Junior Sa'u's try and six points from O'Brien. Alex Mellor went over twice for the Giants but O'Brien scored twice himself to keep the visitors in control. Ukuma Ta'ai slid over for Huddersfield before Josh Jones powered over to secure the win for Salford. Jones' try was perhaps the most impressive of the night, the former St Helens man getting over the line despite the efforts of six Huddersfield defenders. Huddersfield will be disappointed not to have added to their opening-day win over Widnes but they came up against a Salford defence in fine form. The visitors lost 26-16 at home to Wigan in their first game of the season but kept the Warriors out for the whole of the second half and built on that at the John Smith's Stadium. Chairman Marwan Koukash confirmed to the BBC after the match that half-back Todd Carney, who was granted a visa on Thursday, should be in the country on Sunday. Huddersfield: Gaskell, McGillvary, Cudjoe, Mellor, Murphy, Brough, Brierley, Ikahihifo, Hinchcliffe, Ta'ai, Lawrence, Ferguson, Rapira. Replacements: Wakeman, Leeming, Roberts, Clough. Salford: O'Brien, Johnson, Welham, Sa'u, J. Carney, Lui, Dobson, Kopczak, Tomkins, Mossop, Jones, Griffin, Flanagan. Replacements: Krasniqi, Tasi, A. Walne, Wood. Referee: James Child. Flowers have been left and candles lit in remembrance to the victims. On Friday morning, a large crowd gathered in the city centre near the site of the attack and held a minute's silence. Afterwards, the crowd chanted "No tenim por" which means, "We are not afraid". The city's famous football club, FC Barcelona, has said it was "deeply saddened" by the attack. The players and staff also held a minute's silence before training. Lionel Messi added: "There are many more of us who want to live in a world in peace, without hate." Several famous buildings all over the world have lit up to show their support for the people of Spain. New York City's One World Trade centre lit up in the colours of Spain's flag, red and yellow. In Paris, the capital city of France, the Eiffel Tower turned off its lights in support of Barcelona. In the UK, Prime Minister Theresa May has said that her thoughts are with the victims and "The UK stands with Spain against terror." Flags are being lowered across Europe, including these ones flying at half mast outside the Spanish Embassy in London. Scrum-half Nicole Cronin gets her first start at senior 15-a-side level while Mairead Coyne and Katie Fitzhenry also come into the backs. The Irish pack shows four changes, with Ciara O'Connor, Ciara Cooney, Sophie Spence and Ciara Griffin included. Hosts Ireland started the tournament with an exciting 19-17 win over Australia. "We had a really tough game on Wednesday and, while we came away with the win, there a number of areas in which we need to improve," said Tierney. "Japan are going to throw everything at us. They are fit, they like to move the ball wide and they are quick to the break down. "We have made a number of changes to the side from the Australia game with a view to giving some players a rest from what was a physical game. "But we also want to give the other members of the squad an opportunity to show what they can do against a fast and agile Japanese team." Commentary on Ireland's pool matches will be on the BBC Sport website The pair had to settle for second behind American duo Anne Haeger and Briana Provancha after being penalised. "It's been a challenging week," said the 27-year old from Dinas Powys. "We had to turn on and off in concentration... and I think we've proven we're really good at that and we can take that forward to next year." Mills and Clark's won silver at London 2012, and their performances have ensured Britain will have a boat in the 470 class at the Rio Olympics. In June, they won the 470-class at the World Cup regatta in Portland. However, the final crews will not be confirmed until next year. The British pair were leading going in to Sunday's race, but made a mistake at the start and impeded another boat. They then compounded the error when completing the wrong number of penalty turns and had to serve another penalty, something Mills admitted was "a mess". She added: "We made some massive errors off the start line, infringed somebody so had to do turns and then didn't do the right amount of turns so had to do another penalty. "We were so far behind at that point and a very strong left hand track it would seem that there was no way back into the race unfortunately. "We're just very disappointed with our execution and are very frustrated. "It's particularly disappointing as we had an otherwise really great week in Rio. "It's a really tricky place to sail and we dealt with it as best we could to be ahead going into the medal race. "We've said a lot that ultimately it is going to come down to the medal race next year so that's something we need to look at. "It's kind of like a 100m final - you can win the semis and it doesn't matter much if you don't perform in the final." Sister Clare Theresa Crockett, 33, from the Long Tower area of the city, was one of six killed when a school collapsed in Playa Prieta. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake left at least 480 people dead, more than 4,000 injured and 231 missing. The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust has been working with the authorities in Ecuador on behalf of the family. "We have been working with a repatriation company and we know that Sister Clare is now with the undertakers," said Colin Bell from the Trust. "It's only now a matter of getting the paperwork done and getting a flight as soon as possible." Sr Clare and another Irish nun, Sr Thérèse Ryan from County Limerick, were part of the Home of the Mother order. They had been teaching guitar and singing with five young women postulants, who were entering the religious order, when the earthquake struck. It is believed that they were running out of the building and were trapped on a stairway. Sr Clare was killed along with the five postulants. Mr Bell set up the trust after the death of his 26-year-old son, Kevin, who was killed in a suspected hit-and-run in New York in June 2013. The trust has been in contact with Sr Crockett's family who he said are anxious to see her body brought home. "They are realistic in the fact that the country is in turmoil and it's really in the hands of the Gods. "Paperwork can take four to five working days but I am hopeful that she will be home in a week. "This is my first case in Ecuador and I've never dealt with a case where there has been such a disaster and the country isn't working as normal," Mr Bell said. Sister Clare was a fan of karaoke who dreamt of stardom before she joined a religious order. The Kingstone Press Championship side said in a statement the club will "very shortly be unable to fulfil its financial obligations". It said it had sought insolvency advice as there was a "very real prospect" the club could "cease to exist". It said the situation was a result of several factors, including the loss of a significant investor. Mark Aston, the club's head coach, said: "There is still potential here. "It breaks my heart, it's not easy at the moment." The Eagles, a part-time side since 2000, went full-time this season in a bid to win promotion to the Super League but missed out on a place in the qualifiers. A club spokesman said: "The club was totally committed to achieving the goal of playing Super League football once again this year, but due to a complex set of reasons including the strong competition in the league we have seen our best efforts fall short. "As it stands today, the club is working incredibly hard to ensure it can honour all of its financial commitments in order to see the current season through and also to attract investment and funding from the business or sporting community. "We will do everything in our power to make sure that this wonderful club lives to fight another season and secures its long-term future." He said the club was in "advanced discussions" with prospective investors and was talking with Sheffield City Council about the club moving in to the city's Olympic Legacy Park. The side, one of the founder Super League clubs, has been playing its home fixtures "on the road" since the closure of Sheffield's Don Valley Stadium in 2013. Rifath Shaarook's 64-gram (0.14 lb) device was selected as the winner in a youth design competition. The 18-year-old says its main purpose was to demonstrate the performance of 3-D printed carbon fibre. Rifath told local media his invention will go on a four-hour mission for a sub-orbital flight. During that time, the lightweight satellite will operate for around 12 minutes in a micro-gravity environment of space. "We designed it completely from scratch," he said. "It will have a new kind of on-board computer and eight indigenous built-in sensors to measure acceleration, rotation and the magnetosphere of the earth." The satellite has been named KalamSat after former Indian president Abdul Kalam, a pioneer for the country's aeronautical science ambitions. His project was selected in a challenge called Cubes in Space, organised by education company idoodle with support from Nasa and the Colorado Space Grant Consortium. Newcomer scientist Rifath comes from a small town in Tamil Nadu and now works as lead scientist at Chennai-based Space Kidz India, an organisation promoting science and education for Indian children and teenagers. The KalamSat is not his first invention: at the age of 15, he built a helium weather balloon as a part of nationwide competition for young scientists. At least five people were killed and more than 30 were hurt in the blast near a government building on Saturday. The nationalities of the dead are Israeli, American and Iranian. Brendan Ward, Irish Ambassador to Turkey said two adults from the Irish-Algerian family were slightly hurt, but their three children escaped injury. Mr Ward told the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ that the family was on the final day of a holiday in Turkey when they were caught up in the explosion. He said the two adults were treated in hospital but have since been discharged. "I understand that they are leaving [Turkey] this evening on their flight back to Britain where they live. Their injuries were relatively minor," Mr Ward added. "Thankfully, one of the embassy's staff was in Istanbul and was able to facilitate them through translation and completing formalities with the police and the hospital." Mr Ward said terrorism "remains a problem" in large cities in Turkey and said advice was available on the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs website for anyone planning to travel to the country. Earlier, the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan said he was "deeply saddened" by the "horrific" attack. In a statement, he said: "I have spoken to Ambassador Brendan Ward in Turkey and can confirm that we are aware of a number of Irish citizens among the injured. "An embassy official is on the ground in Istanbul to provide consular assistance. "Anyone with concerns for Irish citizens please ring 01 4082000 or Embassy Ankara on 0090 312 4591000. If you are in the area, please follow the instructions of the police and local authorities." On Sunday, Turkey's interior minister said the suicide bomber belonged to so-called Islamic State (IS). Saturday's attack in Istanbul - Turkey's largest city - happened at about 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT). Dave Edwards appeared to have won the game with a strike from a tight angle in the 90th minute, but Floyd Ayite headed in four minutes into added time. Kortney Hause had headed Wolves ahead but Fulham responded with strikes from Stefan Johansen, Ayite and Tom Cairney. Two goals in nine minutes from Matt Doherty and Ivan Cavaleiro brought Wolves level before a last-gasp finale. Following on from new boss Paul Lambert's first victory since he took charge, at QPR nine days before, Wolves made a good start when Hause headed home Helder Costa's far-post corner on 22 minutes. But Stefan Johansen levelled from inside the Wolves box 10 minutes later, with a first-time right-foot shot into the top-left corner. Fulham then struck twice more in the space of three minutes, Ayite climbing at the far post to head back across goal, before Cairney's superb volley into the top corner from the edge of the box. Nouha Dicko touched on Conor Coady's cross on 65 minutes for Doherty to give Wolves hope before Cavaleiro burst into the box nine minutes later to equalise. Wales international Edwards then thought he had won it when he shot into the roof of the net from a narrow angle at the far post. But Fulham had the final word, as Ayite struck from inside the six-yard box, squeezing his second goal of the game past debutant home keeper Harry Burgoyne, who was deputising for the injured Carl Ikeme and Andy Lonergan. Wolves, who climb back up a place to 19th, ended their run of four consecutive home league defeats, while Fulham, who have lost just once in six games, are up to 9th. Wolves head coach Paul Lambert: "It's not often you will see those types of games. It was exciting and I'm proud of the way we came back. We've got to be stronger defensively but we look a threat going forward. "It's heart-attack material. But that's why you play the game and that's why I have got back into it. "The crowd here are a major factor. They were unbelievable for us. They were great. If we turn in performances like that week in, week out, this will be a great place. "We were up against a really good side but, in the second half, we were outstanding. We need a little bit of help in January, there's no two ways about it - a bit of know-how - but we have a young, talented team." Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic: "I am not thinking about going up or staying in the league. I am thinking how we are going to fix our problems. "We led 3-1 and then we were losing. We controlled many things and we can score some goals, but we can be more clinical. "We didn't kill the game and we suffered for that. We didn't manage our situation very well especially in the last half an hour. "Wolves, with very simple football, created so many problems and, in this situation, we have to be more solid. We have to improve and not show our weaknesses." Match ends, Wolverhampton Wanderers 4, Fulham 4. Second Half ends, Wolverhampton Wanderers 4, Fulham 4. Goal! Wolverhampton Wanderers 4, Fulham 4.

"I'm delighted, this is a massive club with great tradition," said Snodgrass, who scored seven times in 20 Premier League games for Hull this season. He becomes West Ham's second signing this month after the arrival of defender Jose Fonte from Southampton. The Hammers saw off competition from Burnley and Middlesbrough to sign Snodgrass, and boss Slaven Bilic could hand him his debut in the home league match with Manchester City on Wednesday. "The owners and the manager are trying to build something here and I just can't wait to get started," added Snodgrass, who joined Hull from Norwich in 2014 for a fee in excess of £6m. "I feel this is a club with real ambition, with the new stadium, great players and a manager of his calibre at Premier League level. "The club has had a few good weeks with results and if I can add to that, great. I'm just looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting started." Snodgrass made just three outings after joining Hull before he suffered a career-threatening knee injury at QPR on the opening day of the 2014-15 season that kept him out of action for 16 months. He recovered to play a significant role in the Tigers' promotion from the Championship last season before starting this season in superb form, hitting the winner in the opening-day victory over champions Leicester and rescuing a point with a last-minute free-kick at Burnley. Hull then triggered a one-year contract extension to tie him to the club until the end of the 2017-18 season. He is the second high-profile exit from the KCOM Stadium in January following Jake Livermore's £10m move to West Brom. Hull boss Marco Silva had been reluctant to part with Snodgrass, with the club 19th in the Premier League, but has promised to bring in three or four more players before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Lord Ballyedmond, who was one of Northern Ireland's richest men, and the three other people on board, all confirmed as male, died at the scene. One of the victims was Declan Small, 42, from Mayobridge, County Down. It is not known what caused the crash but witnesses reported fog in the area at the time and said the helicopter came down very soon after taking off at about 19:30 GMT. A spokesman for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch said it would be sending a team to the area. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has been contacted by Norfolk Police for assistance. The helicopter has been confirmed as an Agusta Westland AW139. Supt Dave Marshall, of Norfolk police, said: "Police, along with our emergency service colleagues and the Air Accident Investigation Branch are now working towards the dignified removal of the four bodies, which is expected to take place this afternoon, full examination of the scene and opening roads as quickly as possible. "The cordon is in place to keep areas sterile and allow the investigation to be carried out sensitively and safely." Tributes have been paid to Dr Edward Haughey, who became Lord Ballyedmond of Mourne when he was created a life peer in 2004. He was a leading industrialist and owned veterinary pharmaceutical firm Norbrook Laboratories in Newry, County Down, and had a range of other business interests. As well as being a member of the House of Lords, he was a former member of the Irish senate. Ulster Unionist peer Lord Reg Empey, who has known the Haughey family for 25 years, said: "Lord Ballyedmond was one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland and indeed these islands. "He brought high-quality employment opportunities to this country during its darkest days. "This tragic accident has cut short the life of a man who had still much to give. The family circle will be numbed by the tragedy." Ulster Unionist Stormont assembly member Danny Kennedy said he was stunned to hear of his death. "He will be sadly missed throughout the business community in Northern Ireland and wider afield. I offer my deepest sympathies to Lady Mary and the children." South Down SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie said he was unique. "He was a major employer in the County Down area and invested a lot of money. "He got up and at it and he possessed those attributes required to make you a successful businessman, but he also was a major employer and a lot of families had connections with him through that." In December 1996 a helicopter owned by Lord Ballyedmond crashed on Carlingford Mountain in the Republic of Ireland killing three people. It was en route to his Rostrevor home. Gillingham is a small village in the south of Norfolk with a population of about 650. Norfolk Police said the crash site would remained cordoned off during the day while examinations of the scene were carried out. The site of the crash is about 45 miles from where four crew members died when a US military helicopter crashed on a training mission in a nature reserve in Cley next the Sea, Norfolk, in January. The Pensions Regulator said the club did not put eligible workers into the government's workplace pension scheme, which started in October 2012. It warned that employers who remain non-compliant could face being taken to court. The club has been contacted for comment. On Thursday, the regulator published a list of companies ignoring automatic enrolment duties. The system aims to ensure employees, who are not in a company pension scheme, either join one or join an alternative such as the National Employment Savings Trust (Nest). Charles Counsell, the regulator's executive director of automatic enrolment, said: "Employers who wilfully refuse to become compliant should be in no doubt that we will take enforcement action against them, as these lists show. "Automatic enrolment is not an option, it is the law." Nicola Sturgeon viewed the damage in Newton Stewart, while Prince Charles and the Duchess of Rothesay visited flood victims in Aberdeenshire. Hundreds of people spent the night in temporary accommodation after the storm caused major flooding and transport disruption across Scotland. The body of a kayaker in his 50s has been found in the River Findhorn. He went missing on the stretch of water in Moray on Wednesday. Ms Sturgeon said the impact of the flooding on people's lives had been "devastating". She added: "On the other side of that, the response has been heroic. "Emergency services, volunteers, members of the public, the council, working together. There's a sense here of real community spirit. "But there's a long recovery road ahead for some of the people I've been speaking to. "One of the reasons I'm here is so that I can see it for myself, so we can make sure we are doing everything we reasonably can to help people with that recovery." Prince Charles and Camilla were said to have made a "spur of the moment" visit to a soup kitchen and barracks in Ballater. About 200 properties in the village were affected by floods. Streets in Aberdeen and Brechin were among those evacuated late on Wednesday as river levels rose. The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful is now open following a landslide. Drivers had been forced to take a 50-mile diversion after 200-300 tonnes of debris crashed onto the road. Forecasters said more rain was due on Thursday but it would be far lighter. At the height of the storm, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency issued two severe flood warnings, for Whitesands in Dumfries and the Tweed in Peebles, which have now been lifted. At the height of the storm, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency issued two severe flood warnings, for Whitesands in Dumfries and the Tweed in Peebles, which have now been lifted. A Muslim charity team from Blackburn, Lancashire, which normally responds to international disasters, has arrived in Dumfries to offer assistance. A spokesman said they had been "heartbroken" when they had learned of the impact of the storm on Scottish communities. All First TransPennine Express train services from Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh were cancelled after a viaduct north of Carlisle was seriously damaged in the storm. Scottish Hydro said its engineers had restored electricity supplies to most customers in Ballater and the surrounding area by Thursday evening. However, the company said the power would have to remain off for the worst affected properties pending safety inspections. A spokesperson said: "The water level has to fall sufficiently for our engineers to carry out a safety survey of our electrical equipment that is needed to deliver power to a property. "Only after this survey, can repairs be carried out." The Scottish government's emergency committee has been meeting regularly to help co-ordinate its response to the flooding crisis. Environment Minister Aileen McLeod told BBC Scotland government was making as much money available as it could for the clean-up and recovery. She said: "The deputy first minister has activated the Bellwin Scheme, which provides support to local authorities to assist with immediate and unforeseen costs of dealing with the latest flood damage. "Obviously, we are committed to helping communities get back on their feet as quickly as possible. "The deputy first minister also announced in his draft budget for 2016/17 an additional £4m for the local authorities that were hit by the storms and flooding earlier this year." Sepa's duty hydrology manager Pascal Lardet said the impact of recent rainfall on river systems across the country had been "truly extraordinary", resulting in "record water levels". He said: "We estimate it may be the highest river level on the Dee since 1928. "It's the record on the Cree for water level in Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway, since 1963." Some flood warnings were lifted late on Wednesday but rising water levels in the north east, especially on the River Dee, forced more evacuations. In Aberdeen, residents were forced to leave their homes in Riverside Drive. Homes in River Street in Brechin were also evacuated. Drivers were shocked to see part of the A93 west of Ballater collapse into the water as they drove along it. More than 100 people spent the night at Victoria Barracks in Ballater after being evacuated from their homes. Millie Begg told BBC Scotland she was "relieved but shocked" to be carried into a police boat after officers had gone into her loft to retrieve her cat box. Referring to the flood waters, she said: "I've never seen anything come so quickly. It was just a torrent." Aberdeenshire Council said many of those affected were able to stay with friends or relatives but about 100 were spending the night at the barracks. In Aberdeen, the Norwood Hall hotel was used as rest centre for people forced from their homes. The Aberdeen coastguard rescue team said it had helped to evacuate a care home. Ch Insp Richard Craig, of Police Scotland, said: "We would like to remind the public to avoid affected areas and to obey road closure signs. The roads are closed for a good reason and failure to obey these closures put you and emergency services at unnecessary risk. "Members of the public should also avoid walking in flood water, no matter how shallow, as many man-hole covers have lifted and the water may be contaminated. "Local authorities have sandbags available for residents whose properties are affected by flood water." In the Borders, dozens of firefighters rescued 25 people from a Peebles nursing home on Wednesday. Emergency services were called just after 15:00 to the home in Tweed Green on the banks of the Tweed, and the evacuation was competed at 00:16 on Thursday. Dumfriesshire MSP Elaine Murray said the clean-up work would really start when the water levels dropped. She said: "If people can lend a hand, with their rubber gloves on and their wellies on and their brush to help clean up, I think that would be much appreciated by the people who have been affected. Efforts were also due to be made to recover a Stagecoach bus which became stranded in deep water at Dailly in South Ayrshire. Twelve people, including two children, were rescued from the bus. Ten were airlifted by a Royal Navy helicopter from the vehicle while a further two people were taken off the bus by boat. The four men, six women, a seven-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl were taken to a local community centre to be assessed by medical staff. Phyllis Young was on board the bus when it got into difficulty, and told BBC Scotland: "The water came in the bus, it came up and up and got to the windows and was just like big waves. "You could see the current - it was very, very scary. "We moved up to the back of the bus because the seats were higher. I actually sat on the ledge at the back. Some people were standing on the seat grab bars. My feet and legs were in the water the whole time. The whole of the front lower section of the bus was completely covered with water." A Stagecoach spokeswoman said the road was open to traffic at the time the bus was making the journey from Girvan to Ayr. Eamon Lynch, 39, from Wesley Street in Derry admitted a series of road traffic offences in the city in 2010. The father-of-eight's criminal record now stands at 472 convictions, including almost 300 driving offences. At Londonderry Crown Court, Lynch was given a 28-month prison sentence, half of which he will serve in custody. He also has previous multiple convictions for burglary, assault, forgery and drugs offences. Judge Piers Grant said Lynch's record was "appalling" and contained the most significant number of convictions ever to come before him. On Wednesday, the court was told Lynch was seen driving a car that struck two parked cars, two years ago. The owner of one of the cars recognised him. Lynch ran off and was later seen walking across Craigavon Bridge by the police. As they approached him, he threw a set of keys into the River Foyle. He was arrested and when breathalysed was found to be more than twice the legal limit. At the time he had been disqualified from driving until 2023. The court was told Lynch absconded from Northern Ireland to live in Donegal last year where he committed seven further road traffic offences. Judge Grant imposed a 28-month jail sentence and told Lynch he would serve 14 months in custody and would be on licence for the other 14 months. Companies like this raised vast sums on the promise that the worldwide web would change everything. Then, in the spring of 2000, stock markets collapsed. Some economists had long been sceptical about the promise of computers. In 1987, we didn't have the web, but spreadsheets and databases were appearing in every workplace - and having, it seemed, no impact whatsoever. The leading thinker on economic growth, Robert Solow, famously quipped: "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics." It's not easy to track the overall economic impact of innovation but the best measure we have is something called "total factor productivity". When it's growing, that means the economy is somehow squeezing more output out of inputs, such as machinery, human labour and education. In the 1980s, when Robert Solow was writing, it was growing at the slowest rate for decades - slower even than during the Great Depression. Technology seemed to be booming but productivity was almost stagnant. Economists called it the "productivity paradox". For a hint about what was going on, rewind 100 years. Another remarkable new technology was proving disappointing: electricity. Some corporations were investing in electric dynamos and motors and installing them in the workplace. Yet the expected surge in productivity did not come. 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy highlights the inventions, ideas and innovations which have helped create the economic world in which we live. It is broadcast on the BBC World Service. You can find more information about the programme's sources and listen online or subscribe to the programme podcast. The potential for electricity seemed clear. Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan independently invented usable light bulbs in the late 1870s. In 1881, Edison built electricity generating stations at Pearl Street in Manhattan and Holborn in London. Within a year, he was selling electricity as a commodity. A year later, the first electric motors were driving manufacturing machinery. Yet by 1900, less than 5% of mechanical drive power in American factories was coming from electric motors. The age of steam lingered. A steam-powered factory must have been awe-inspiring. The mechanical power came from a single massive steam engine, which turned a central steel drive shaft that ran along the length of the factory. Sometimes it would run outside and into a second building. Subsidiary shafts, connected via belts and gears, drove hammers, punches, presses and looms. The belts could even transfer power vertically through a hole in the ceiling to a second or even third floor. Expensive "belt towers" enclosed them to prevent fires from spreading through the gaps. Everything was continually lubricated by thousands of drip oilers. Steam engines rarely stopped. If a single machine in the factory needed to run, the coal fires needed to be fed. The cogs whirred, the shafts span and the belts churned up the grease and the dust, and there was always the risk that a worker might snag a sleeve or bootlace and be dragged into the relentless, all-embracing machine. Some factory owners did replace steam engines with electric motors, drawing clean and modern power from a nearby generating station. But given the huge investment this involved, they were often disappointed with the savings. Until about 1910, plenty of entrepreneurs looked at the new electrical drive system and opted for good old-fashioned steam. Why? Because to take advantage of electricity, factory owners had to think in a very different way. They could, of course, use an electric motor in the same way as they used steam engines. It would slot right into their old systems. But electric motors could do much more. Electricity allowed power to be delivered exactly where and when it was needed. Small steam engines were hopelessly inefficient but small electric motors worked just fine. So a factory could contain several smaller motors, each driving a small drive shaft. As the technology developed, every workbench could have its own machine tool with its own little electric motor. Power wasn't transmitted through a single, massive spinning drive shaft but through wires. A factory powered by steam needed to be sturdy enough to carry huge steel drive shafts. One powered by electricity could be light and airy. Steam-powered factories had to be arranged on the logic of the driveshaft. Electricity meant you could organise factories on the logic of a production line. Old factories were dark and dense, packed around the shafts. New factories could spread out, with wings and windows allowing natural light and air. In the old factories, the steam engine set the pace. In the new factories, workers could do so. Factories could be cleaner and safer - and more efficient, because machines needed to run only when they were being used. But you couldn't get these results simply by ripping out the steam engine and replacing it with an electric motor. You needed to change everything: the architecture and the production process. And because workers had more autonomy and flexibility, you even had to change the way they were recruited, trained and paid. Factory owners hesitated, for understandable reasons. Of course they didn't want to scrap their existing capital. But maybe, too, they simply struggled to think through the implications of a world where everything needed to adapt to the new technology. In the end, change happened. It was unavoidable. Mains electricity became cheaper and more reliable. American workers become more expensive thanks to a series of new laws that limited immigration from a war-torn Europe. Average wages soared and hiring staff became more about quality and less about quantity. Trained workers could use the autonomy that electricity gave them. And as more factory owners figured out how to make the most of electric motors, new ideas about manufacturing spread. Come the 1920s, productivity in American manufacturing soared in a way never seen before or since. You would think that kind of leap forward must be explained by a new technology. But no. The economic historian Paul David gives much of the credit to the fact that manufacturers had finally figured out how to use technology that was nearly 50 years old. Which puts Robert Solow's quip in a new light. How Diesel's engine changed the world Battery bonanza: From frogs' legs to mobiles and electric cars Rise of the robots: What advances mean for workers How the lift transformed the shape of our cities By 2000 - about 50 years after the first computer program - productivity was picking up a bit. Two economists, Eric Brynjolfsson and Lorin Hitt, published research showing that many companies had invested in computers for little or no reward while others had reaped big benefits. What explained the difference was whether the companies had been willing to reorganise to take advantage of what computers had to offer. That often meant decentralising, outsourcing, streamlining supply chains and offering more choice to customers. You couldn't just take your old systems and add better computers. You needed to do things differently. The web is younger still. It was barely a decade old when the dotcom bubble burst. When the electric dynamo was as old as the web is now, factory owners were still attached to steam. The really big changes were only just appearing on the horizon. The thing about a revolutionary technology is that it changes everything - that's why we call it revolutionary. And changing everything takes time and imagination and courage - and sometimes just a lot of hard work.

Tunny machines helped to unscramble Allied interceptions of the encrypted orders Hitler sent to his generals. The rebuild was completed even though almost no circuit diagrams or parts of the original machines survived. Intelligence gathered via code-cracking at Bletchley underpinned the success of Allied operations to end WWII. Restoration work on Tunny at the museum in Bletchley was re-started in 2005 by a team led by computer conservationists John Pether and John Whetter. Mr Pether said the lack of source material made the rebuild challenging. "As far as I know there were no original circuit diagrams left," he said. "All we had was a few circuit elements drawn up from memory by engineers who worked on the original." The trickiest part of the rebuild, he said, was getting the six timing circuits of the machine working in unison. The Tunny machines, like the Colossus computers they worked alongside, were dismantled and recycled for spare parts after World War II. The first Tunny machines were built following the work in 1942 of mathematician Bill Tutte. Plans were drawn up for it after analysing intercepted encrypted radio signals Hitler was sending to the Nazi high command. These orders were encrypted before being transmitted by a machine known as a Lorenz SZ42 enciphering machine. Prior to the creation of machines to do the code-breaking, the orders were broken by hand in what was known as "The Testery". Bill Tutte's analysis enabled the development of the Tunny machine which effectively reverse-engineered the workings of the SZ42 - even though he had never seen it. The first machine built to capitalise on Tutte's analysis was called Heath Robinson and the more reliable and faster Colossus machines followed soon after. Tunny worked alongside the Colossus computer, which together with input from the Testery, calculated the settings of an SZ42 used to encipher a particular message. These settings were reproduced on Tunny, the enciphered message was fed in, and the decrypted text was printed out. By the end of WWII there were 12-15 Tunny machines in use and the information they revealed about Nazi battle plans helped to ensure the success of D-Day. "We have a great deal of admiration for Bill Tutte and those original engineers," said John Whetter. "There were no standard drawings they could put together," he said. "It was all original thought and it was incredible what they achieved." One reason the restoration project has succeeded, said Mr Whetter, was that the machines were built by the Post Office's research lab at Dollis Hill. All the parts were typically used to build telephone exchanges, he said. "Those parts were in use from the 1920s to the 1980s when they were replaced by computer-controlled exchanges," he said. Former BT engineers and workers involved with The National Museum of Computing have managed to secure lots of these spare parts to help with restoration projects, said Mr Whetter. The next restoration project being contemplated is that of the Heath Robinson machines, which were used to find SZ42 settings before the creation of Colossus. That, said Mr Whetter, might be even more of a challenge. "We have even less information about that than we had on Tunny," he said. The upturned hull of the Cemfjord - which was carrying cement - was spotted by a passing ferry on Saturday and later sank. No trace of the crew was found despite an extensive search operation. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said a fixed wing aircraft was conducting a search. The Cemfjord crew consisted of seven Polish nationals and one Filipino. A minute's silence for the victims will be held at midday (11:00 GMT). Police are continuing a huge manhunt for a suspect caught on CCTV shortly before two bombs exploded at Zaventem airport on Tuesday morning. An hour later another blast tore through a metro train near the Maelbeek station. So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it was behind the attacks and warned that more would follow. Live updates What we know so far Why was Brussels attacked? Crisis information Eyewitnesses recall explosions In pictures: Brussels explosions Full coverage Meanwhile, the US state department has urged US citizens of the "potential risks" of travelling to Europe. A statement said terror groups were planning "near-term attacks throughout Europe, targeting sporting events, tourist sites, restaurants and transportation". Tuesday's blasts came four days after the capture in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam who investigators say was involved in last November's terror attacks in Paris. Abdeslam is due to appear before a pre-trial court in Brussels on Wednesday. Hundreds of people crowded into Place de la Bourse late into Tuesday night, lighting candles and placing flowers in a vigil for the victims of the attacks. Many cities around the world illuminated their landmarks in the colours of the Belgian flag in a show of solidarity. Raids took place in Brussels and across Belgium on Tuesday as anti-terror police sought those linked to the attacks. They issued a wanted notice for a man seen walking with two other suspects at the airport just before the blasts at a check-in hall. He was pushing a luggage trolley with a suitcase thought to have contained a bomb that did not explode. The two other men are presumed to have died after detonating suicide devices. They were wearing a black glove on the left hand, possibly to hide the devices. The third man was wearing no glove. The explosions happened in quick succession shortly after 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and the other bomb was found and destroyed in a controlled detonation. A taxi driver who had reportedly driven the three suspects to the airport gave police an address in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels where another explosive device and an IS flag were among items recovered. Police helicopters hovered over the city late into the night as the search operation continued. About an hour after the airport blasts on Tuesday morning, another explosion struck the Maelbeek metro station near EU headquarters. The cause of the blast has not been confirmed but IS said it too was a suicide bombing. Police said about 20 people died on the metro train and about 14 at the airport. Belgium has raised its terrorism alert to its highest level. Transport across Brussels was paralysed after the explosions but some services later resumed. The airport is unlikely to reopen for several days. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said Tuesday was "a day of tragedy, a black day" and urged citizens to show "calmness and solidarity". World leaders have sent condolences and messages of solidarity. US President Barack Obama called the blasts "outrageous attacks against innocent people" while the 28 EU leaders - in a joint statement - said the bombings were an "attack on our open, democratic society". The Arkansas Parole Board has recommended mercy in the case of Jason McGehee, who was convicted of torturing and killing a teenager. It will now be up to Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson to decide whether the 40-year-old escapes lethal injection. The unprecedented series of executions within a 10-day period starting on 17 April is due to a drug expiring. The state's supply of midazolam, a sedative used in its three-drug lethal injection cocktail, will be useless after this month. Lawyers for the prisoners say the "assembly-line" of four double lethal injections is unconstitutional. The lawyer for McGehee, John Williams, said his client was only 20 at the time of the offence and "his near-perfect record in prison has impressed many people". Two of his co-defendants received lesser sentences despite being equally or more culpable, said Mr Williams, who asked the governor to commute the sentence to life without parole. Johnny Melbourne, whose 15-year-old son of the same name was beaten to death by McGehee, had asked the board to reject clemency. "John didn't have this. Even though he was begging for his life and was hurting. He didn't have this and he begged for his life too. He didn't have y'all." The parole board has already turned down clemency requests from four of the other men scheduled to die in the 10-day period later this month. No US state has put eight inmates to death in such an accelerated way since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Like many US states, Arkansas has struggled to find the drugs it needs to carry out executions. Its last was in 2005. Bruce Ward - Strangled teenage shop clerk Rebecca Doss Don Davis - Condemned for the execution-style killing of Jane Daniel as he burgled her home Stacey Johnson - Murdered Carol Heath, who was beaten, strangled and had her throat slit Ledell Lee - Bludgeoned Debra Reese to death with a tyre iron her husband had given her for protection Jack Jones - Condemned for the rape and murder of accounts clerk Mary Phillips, and the nearly fatal beating of her 11-year-old daughter Marcel Williams - Raped and murdered Stacey Erickson, after kidnapping her from a convenience store Kenneth Williams - Murdered farmer Cecil Boren during an escape from prison where Williams had been incarcerated for murdering cheerleader Dominique Hurd Jason McGehee - Jailed for the death of 15-year-old John Melbourne, who had been his friend Jayne Ludlow's team beat the hosts 2-1 on Thursday, but fell victim to the game's only goal on Sunday. Portugal replacement Claudio Neto struck in the 68th minute to break the deadlock. Wales went on tour to prepare for the Women's World Cup qualifying campaign, which begins in the autumn. England, Russia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kazakhstan will be Wales' group one opponents. Wales' final warm-up game, against Netherlands, will take place on Saturday, 8 July. Ludlow's substitutions in the opening game included a senior debut for Wichita FC forward Peyton Vincze. Team: Laura O'Sullivan, Rhiannon Roberts, Sophie Ingle (capt), Gemma Evans, Hayley Ladd, Bronwen Thomas, Kayleigh Green, Angharad James, Loren Dykes, Natasha Harding, Chloe Chivers. Subs: Hannah Miles, Charlie Estcourt, Nadia Lawrence, Claire Skinner, Shaunna Jenkins, Georgia Evans, Emma Beynon, Melissa Fletcher, Emma Gibbon, Peyton Vincze, Ffion Morgan.

Some 25 beds were closed last week but Ward Five - the elective orthopaedic ward - has now reopened. All non-urgent routine procedures were also cancelled. The trust's Medical Director Dermot Hughes said the hospital was continuing to deal with infection, prevention and control issues. Beds also remain closed across the hospital as a result of nursing shortages, and some inpatient care work has had to be postponed. The Western Trust said any patient whose appointment was postponed would be offered an alternative date. Some 42 of 302 routine operations scheduled last week had to be postponed, while 260 went ahead as planned. All procedures at the Day Case Unit, all urgent cases and all cancer surgery would continue to take place, said the hospital. Dr Hughes said: "To address nursing levels we are sourcing additional staff from bank lists and nursing agencies. "The Western Trust also has an enhanced recruitment process to attract registered nurses to our hospitals and recently recruited over 100 nurses due to qualify in September 2017. "They have been offered permanent employment." The situation at the hospital is being reviewed on a daily basis.

Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry is continuing to deal with challenges resulting from a vomiting bug and staff shortages.

B&Q said sales at its established stores fell 5% in the three months to July amid a drop in demand for garden furniture and other summer products. The fall dragged shares in B&Q owner Kingfisher down 4.1%, making it the biggest faller on the FTSE 100. Meanwhile, Homebase reported a similar drop in quarterly sales under its new Australian owner. George Salmon, an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "It looks like Kingfisher isn't alone in having difficulties in the UK. "The group's flagship B&Q chain saw like-for-like sales fall 4.7%, which is similar to the 4.3% fall at Bunnings UK, the new owner of Homebase." As well as the Bunnings DIY chain, Wesfarmers also runs the supermarket chain Coles and the Kmart and Target chains in Australia. Sales of summer products dropped nearly 11% at B&Q, partly because customers bought more of those items during the warm spring. Kingfisher said it remained cautious about the economic outlook for the UK in the second half of the year. However, its other DIY chain, Screwfix, continued its stellar run, with sales at existing stores rising 10% in the period. Homebase's results were partly dragged down by its transition under its Australian owner. Bunnings UK, which bought Homebase for £340m last year, is changing the DIY retailer's discounts and rebranding more stores under the Bunnings name. In the first financial year since acquiring the chain, Bunnings UK booked a £54m loss on revenue of £1.2bn. Bunnings Group managing director Michael Schneider told analysts it was braced for a "long slog" in the UK. "The opportunity for the Homebase stores is going to be more clarity and consistency in execution," he said. "There's no silver bullet."

The UK's two biggest DIY chains, B&Q and Homebase, have both reported a slide in sales this summer.
