Nicholas Smith, 66, of Malestroit, France, carried out the assault on a pupil at Chetham's School of Music between 1976 and 1978. He was arrested by detectives investigating historical sexual abuse at music schools in Manchester. Smith was sentenced to eight months in prison at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. The court heard that Smith's victim went to police after the death of violinist Frances Andrade in January 2013. Mrs Andrade had accused former Chetham's choirmaster Michael Brewer of sexual abuse and took a fatal overdose after learning the jury in his trial was instructed to find him not guilty of several charges. Brewer was jailed for six years for five counts of indecent assault. Smith's victim, who knew Mrs Andrade at school, told police her death was like the "curtain of a stage lifted". The court heard the assault by Smith, when his victim was 15 and he was 30, took "minutes" but ruined her life. Police said the attack took place while the girl was staying with Smith and his wife at a cottage in Derbyshire. Smith's barrister Neil Usher said the 66-year-old's "reputation lies in ruins". "He has gone from being a celebrated and much sought-after conductor here and abroad to being unemployable [and] friends who held him in high regard will not look at him again." Jailing Smith, Judge Peter Lakin said he had "breached the trust placed in you in a most serious way". He said Smith's victim had been "highly vulnerable". "When you were alone with her, you cynically took advantage of her vulnerability and subjected her to a deeply unpleasant and frightening ordeal. "You pushed her to the ground, dragged her clothes up and then fondled and kissed her exposed breasts. "This was a forceful sexual assault by someone in authority." Speaking after the hearing, Det Ch Insp Jamie Daniels said he could "understand why people have drawn comparisons between Michael Brewer and Nicholas Smith". "Smith, like Brewer, took advantage of a homesick young girl in a location away from school grounds while she was isolated and vulnerable." CBI president Paul Drechsler will tell the group's annual conference on Monday that ministers should "get on" with it. In July the Airports Commission published a report backing a third runway, saying it would add £147bn to the economy and 70,000 jobs by 2050. A final government decision is expected by the end of the year. Mr Drechsler will also tell the business group that he welcomes a move by Chancellor George Osborne to launch the National Infrastructure Commission to oversee £100bn of spending on infrastructure projects. "The commission is a chance to end the cycle of politicisation and procrastination that has plagued British infrastructure for decades," he will say. "However, we must not duck infrastructure decisions which must be made right now. "On airport capacity, we need strong political leadership and decisive action from government. Britain needs that new runway, so let's get it built." The issue of Heathrow's expansion has been a long-running and contentious issue. In 2009, while in opposition, David Cameron ruled out Heathrow expansion, saying "no ifs, no buts". The Airport Commission's recommendation in July was criticised by competing airport Gatwick, and by London Mayor Boris Johnson, who has argued for a whole new airport. Earlier this month, it was revealed that the most senior member of the civil service in the UK, Sir Jeremy Heywood, wrote to government ministers in the run up to the party conference season, warning them against speaking out about the matter. Environmentalists and residents who live near the flight path of the proposed third runway have also campaigned against it. On the subject of Europe, Mr Drechsler will tell the 1,000 delegates at the CBI's London event that he hopes the UK will remain part of a reformed European Union. "The majority of our members think that, on balance, the advantages of EU membership outweigh the disadvantages. "And when we see the reforms the prime minister achieves and expects to achieve over time, we will ask you again for your views. "Of course we know that Europe is far from perfect. New regulation must be a last resort, not a first response." Momos, steamed meat or vegetable dumplings, are often associated with Tibetan and Nepali cuisine. Ramesh Arora, from Indian-administered Kashmir, wants them banned for causing "life-threatening diseases". He says they contain the food additive MSG which many Indians believe to be harmful. However, some global studies have shown that monosodium glutamate is not as unhealthy as it is made out to be. Reaction to Mr Arora's campaign has ranged from amusement to outrage. Mr Arora has reportedly been campaigning against momos very seriously. The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that he has been speaking about the supposed bad effects of momos for at least five months. But it's not just momos that have him worried. Mr Arora says Chinese street food - also popular with Indians - is also full of MSG and can cause illnesses like stomach cancer, migraines and obesity. Many Indians are aware that these foods contain MSG flavouring, but this has clearly not deterred them from eating them. The Food and Drug Association (FDA) in the US says the addition of MSG to foods is GRAS, or Generally Recognised As Safe. Mr Arora has also met the state health minister, Bali Bhagat, in an effort to convince him to ban the offending foods. But for thousands of hungry Indians, there seems to be no move to take them off the streets just yet. Council elections take place in May for every local authority in Wales - but do you think you have what it takes to be a councillor? Maybe you're angry about bin collections, or the way the local school is performing and you want to shake things up. You might think your local authority is doing a great job and you want to sign up to continue the good work. Well, now is your chance, because in May, Wales will go to the polls for local authority elections. That's why some councils are holding taster sessions, to explain more to wannabe councillors about what the role entails. But if Denbighshire council's session at the Nova Centre in Prestatyn on Wednesday night is anything to go by, some authorities have their work cut out simply getting people through the doors. Excluding organisers and council staff, only six people turned up to the meeting. One of those is already a serving councillor and another was there simply to support his wife, who is interested in standing in the election. This was the third of four sessions Denbighshire is running, and turnout has not been good. About seven turned up to a meeting in Ruthin, and even fewer at the session in Rhyl. The council is hoping more will be encouraged to attend their final session in Denbigh later this month. Denbighshire's chief executive, Mohammed Mehmet, told those present on Wednesday that turnout had been better at similar events held in 2012. "The turnout to the roadshows has not been overwhelming," he said, but added: "I'm not too concerned about that. If we have people present who are seriously thinking about it, and this is useful, then five or six people is okay." Asked if the fact they are holding these sessions signifies there is a shortage of people willing to put themselves forward, Gary Williams, Denbighshire's head of legal, HR and democratic services, said: "I don't think there's a shortage. We fill all the seats. "But we are keen to encourage as many people as possible to want to take part, and the idea of these evenings is to give people the information to enable them to make a considered decision as to whether or not it's the right thing for them." Barry Mellor, who represents the east ward of Rhyl, was just months into his role as a county councillor when floods struck the town in 2013. He told the audience this was an example of how varied work as a councillor can be. "That was a baptism of fire, to come in as a councillor six months before that... 140 houses were devastated.... by probably nine o clock that evening we'd relocated everybody out of those 140 houses." Prospective councillors also need to be prepared to give their own time and open their doors to strangers, he said. "I've got somebody coming round to my house tomorrow night to discuss a business venture. If I can help, I will." Incredibly "proud" to be a councillor, Mr Mellor admitted you need "thick skin and heavy shoulders" to perform the role well. And the one quality you need above all others? "Honesty. All I believe, is if you get asked to do something and you can't do it, explain to the people you can't do it, and they appreciate that much more." The sessions provide information on allowances and salaries. The basic allowance is currently £13,200 a year, which is due to rise by £100 after May. Other allowances are available for certain roles with added responsibilities. If they are successful and get voted in, councillors receive iPads and IT support, will be trained on subjects ranging from how to chair meetings, how to improve questioning skills and - a relatively new addition to the councillor's skillset - how to use social media. The importance of appropriate behaviour in public office was also stressed. One useful anecdote on the night explained how "running down the street stark naked wearing a Red Indian head dress" is probably not the way to win any favours with the ombudsman. The audience was told that even if they decide against running for the county elections, town and community councils are finding it "really difficult to get people to stand", and would welcome new blood. Andrea Tomlin, from Prestatyn, attended the meeting with her husband, because she is interested in "getting a little bit more involved in my community". However, she said: "I have definitely been swayed that county council isn't for me at the moment due to the time commitment I believe it demands of you. With having my own business and working full time in it I don't think I could dedicate the time that that role deserves." However, she is considering standing for Prestatyn town council. On the low turnout on the night, she said: "It doesn't surprise me, it disappoints me, because I just feel that there are so many people out there with thoughts and ideas and opinions on things in their own local community, on their own local streets. This is a good forum for them to be able to do that and they are not taking that opportunity. "And it feels to me as if the same old, same old people might be coming through again, which is why I might consider getting involved this time." France's 12th seed Kristina Mladenovic complained about a "damaged" court in her second-round defeat on Thursday. Following his four-set win against against Fabio Fognini on Centre Court, Andy Murray said the court conditions were "not as good as previous years", while Jamie added they "weren't good." Italian Fognini went further, saying they are "really, really bad". Temperatures have reached 30C in the first week at Wimbledon, with little rain. Head groundsman Neil Stubley said: "Obviously we're dealing with the extreme heat, which we're not used to every single Championships. "There's not a doubt in our minds that the courts will be as good as they need to be for the end of the Championships." The first week of last year's tournament was affected by bad weather, with organisers forced to schedule matches on the middle Sunday. At one point in Friday's third-round match, a return from Fognini bounced on the baseline underneath Andy Murray's racket. "There's quite a few spots on the court, just behind the baseline and just in front of the baseline, where there are quite big lumps of grass, almost like little divots there, which I don't remember really being the case before," defending champion Murray said. "I don't think the court is in as good a condition as previous years. "I don't know if it's anything to do with the weather that they've had over the last few weeks and months. It's been pretty hot, pretty extreme conditions. Not much rain." The 30-year-old is back on Centre Court against Frenchman Benoit Paire on Monday. And he added: "The court, when I played the first match, was great. I think it's just getting a bit beaten up early. A few of the players have said that about some of the outside courts as well." Mladenovic twisted an ankle in the warm-up and damaged a knee during her defeat by American Alison Riske on court 18. She said both players wanted to stop after only two games "in case something bad happened". Jamie Murray was knocked out of the men's doubles in the second round on Friday on court 18. He told the Times: "Wimbledon think they're the best tournament in the world, so they need to be held to those standards, and I don't think that this year the courts were [of] as high a standard as they could have been." Despite his strong criticism, Fognini agreed that the hot conditions had caused the problem, saying: "They do the best that they can. It's not their fault. I think this year was really sunny days, so the grass is not really good like the last years." Stubley added: "The players have their reasons why they're saying they're more slippery. I don't know if there's been more slips this year or whether it's just a couple of high-profile ones. "We listen to players, because their feedback is important. But the data shows to us those courts that are in question are within range of the other courts, and they are within the range of previous years." Cooler temperatures are forecast for the second week, but there is currently no rain predicted. Norman Jones, 81, of Pentre Halkyn, said he could not explain what happened and put it down to his dementia. Pleading guilty by letter, he apologised and said this crash made it clear he is no longer fit to drive. Magistrates, who are considering a driving ban, adjourned sentence for two weeks for Jones to be present. The incident happened shortly before 11:00 BST on 7 December, 2013, in Mold town centre. Prosecutor Shaun Bartlett-Evans said ten pedestrians were injured when Jones's Citroen Picasso entered the pedestrian section of the high street during the twice-weekly market, which was busy with shoppers. Witnesses described how the defendant, with his wife in the passenger seat, came down the high street and overtook two cars which were parked at the traffic lights. With the engine said to be revving, he pulled out to avoid hitting the cars ahead, drove through the junction and careered into the pedestrianised area where the market was being held. The vehicle collided with market stalls and pedestrians. Three women were injured; one suffered serious leg injuries which resulted in seven pins being inserted and may require a knee replacement; a second broke her leg and ankle while a third suffered broken ribs, an ankle injury and bruising. Six other women and a man were also hurt. In his letter pleading guilty, Jones, who previously has a clean driving licence, said he had been diagnosed with memory loss and dementia some 18 months ago. He said he was still at a loss to understand what happened and could only assume that it was associated with his medical condition. He has since given up his licence. Magistrates said that it was a serious matter with a high degree of culpability, there were serious circumstances surrounding the case and the defendant was needed in court to be sentenced. The team have struggled in the first four races, with a best result of fifth place for Jenson Button in China. Button said he was "pragmatic" about the upgrade's potential impact. He said: "There'll be elements that work, elements that perhaps work in a different way than anticipated and elements that don't work. That's life." McLaren ended last season with the fastest car, with Lewis Hamilton and Button winning the last two races of 2012. McLaren have accrued just 23 points after the first four races of 2013, compared to 92 at the same time in 2012 But they chose to make major design changes for 2013 while most other teams evolved their previous cars, and its aerodynamics have not worked as expected. The car has been suffering from a lack of downforce and poor ride and McLaren were so desperate to make some progress after the first two races that they introduced some new parts for the third race in China without them going through the team's normal rigorous simulation process. Button said he hoped that running the car again on the Circuit de Catalunya, where two of the three pre-season tests took place, would give McLaren fresh insight into the car. "It's been difficult for the team to make consistent progress in the first four races," he said, "but I think returning to a circuit where we undertook two of the pre-season tests will give us a useful benchmark for our progress so far. "There's been a lot of talk about the importance of next weekend's upgrades but, as with every upgrade, they're simply part of the series of continuous improvements that are made across the season." He added: "Of course, I'm hopeful that it'll move us a step closer to the destination." Team principal Martin Whitmarsh said only that the team were "pushing ahead to develop MP4-28 and will be hoping for a productive weekend that will allow us gather a useful data set for the races ahead". Mr Choudary, 48, from Ilford, east London, was bailed last Friday when he appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from Belmarsh Prison. A judge said Mr Choudary had found someone to stand surety of £15,000. At an earlier hearing he indicated he would plead not guilty to the charges. Another man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, is also accused of inviting support for so-called Islamic State (IS). He remains on remand but has been granted bail in principle on the same conditions, should a suitable individual be identified to offer surety. Both men have already spent months on police bail following their arrest last September. They were remanded in custody after being charged in August. The charges against Mr Rahman, from Whitechapel, also in east London, and Mr Choudary relate to social media activity between 29 June 2014 and 6 March 2015. Mr Rahman has also indicated he denies the charge. Mr Choudary and Mr Rahman are due back in court for a plea and case management hearing on 11 December, with a provisional trial date set for 11 January 2016. The trial is scheduled to be heard by a High Court judge and is expected to last three to four weeks. The very future of the African elephant, the largest land animal on Earth, could be at risk. Last year saw the highest number of large seizures of illegal ivory for more than two decades. From Kenya to Zambia, African law-enforcement and conservation authorities are facing a continuing battle with the poachers. And it is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where governance is at its weakest, that the elephant population is being hit hardest, with thousands of elephants killed each year. Conservationists have recorded steep declines in population and fear fewer than 20,000 of the region's forest elephants remain in the Congo basin. Panorama: Ivory Wars - Out Of Africa, is broadcast on BBC One, Thursday 12 April at 21:00 BST Or catch up later via iPlayer In Kinshasa, the capital of DRC, poached ivory is openly on sale at large, unregulated markets. While traders were wary of being filmed by a BBC TV crew, a Chinese undercover reporter working for Panorama quickly attracted the attention of sellers, using the Chinese word for ivory to good effect. The reporter was offered whole raw ivory tusks in one market, including one giant piece about 1.5m long for $10,000 (£6,000). Tom Milliken, who monitors and campaigns against the illegal trade in ivory, was not surprised at Panorama's findings. "These markets are patronised by ex-pat communities and Chinese business," he said. "We've been in the market in Kinshasa where we've estimated the ivory from more than 200 elephants has been on the tables for sale on a single day," he said. Poached ivory from Congo or other countries is often shipped out via Kenya. Despite policing efforts, nearly 85% of ivory seized from around the world that could be traced had come from or passed through East Africa, much of it via the international airport at Nairobi. Kenyan officials are in no doubt of its destination. "Ninety per cent of all the people we have arrested at the airports ferrying ivory are Chinese," said Julius Kipng'etich, director of the Kenya Wildlife Service. "The destinations of all contraband ivory are always neighbouring countries around China." Until the middle of last year Malaysia had not made a single large ivory seizure in nearly a decade. But there have been several large seizures since then, amounting to six tonnes of ivory that would have come from approximately 700 dead elephants. But Malaysia is just one of a number of staging posts for the ivory. Most is on its way to China where it has been traded and treasured for centuries and remains available legally because of an internationally sanctioned deal. A 1989 ban rules out international trade, but in 2008, China and Japan were allowed to make a one-off purchase of legally sourced African ivory, provided there was proper regulation of the domestic market. Every ivory shop has to be officially registered with the authorities and every item on display is supposed to have its own identification card so that every piece of ivory can be tracked after sale. But Panorama had no difficultly buying ivory without certification at one of the state-approved shops, licensed by the authorities to sell ivory, that exist in a number of Chinese cities. At the Friendship Store in Guangzhou, a BBC undercover team found many items with no accompanying certificate on display. The team bought a necklace clasp from the shop which cost around £15, but the shop did not issue an ID card with it, making it impossible to prove that the ivory was legal. The findings are in line with other reports on ivory sales in China including by ivory trade expert Dr Esmond Bradley Martin. "What we found in Guangzhou was that 63% of the items did not have the proper identification." "Now the regulations also say… you need to have it close-by to the individual piece. We found that that wasn't always the case." According to the Friendship Store, all its ivory products complied with regulations, and they had all the necessary paperwork on the day we filmed. Away from the legal shops, Panorama was also able to access ivory in China on the black market. One dealer offered 15 items of ivory worth nearly £50,000, which she said could be delivered within 24 hours. The biggest single item she had on sale was an uncarved tusk, priced at £4,000. No direct link has yet been found between the legal sales and increased killings or trade. But campaigners fear the existence of a legal trade is helping to provide cover for a much more extensive black market. The decision to allow further legal ivory into the country in 2008 made the situation worse, according to Grace Ge Gabriel, from the International Fund for Animal Welfare. "We have found that every one legal activity comes with nearly six illegal trading activities. So this domestic market provides opportunity for people to launder illegally obtained ivory," she said. In a statement, the Chinese government said it had a "consistent and firm position to fight against the illegal trade of ivory". It said possible individual breaches should not be used to deny "the efforts and progress China has made". The debate over the legal ivory trade is set to be reignited later this year when more African countries are expected to put in requests to sell stockpiled ivory. Supporters say countries that properly protect their elephants should be allowed to profit from them. "It's vital that local people and the countries where elephants are present in large numbers get a benefit, economic benefit from the use of ivory," said Robin Sharp, of the European Sustainable Use Specialist Group But opponents argue further sales will fuel demand and fear that China's booming economy means there will be an ever-growing market. "What is at the heart of the illegal killing of elephants in Africa? Money," concludes Dr Bradley Martin. Securing the future of Africa's elephant will mean not just beating the poachers but also tackling black-market sales on the other side of the world in China.

The visitors beat Zulia 2-1 in the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo in their first ever Copa Libertadores tie, South America's main regional tournament. The win puts them top of Group 7. Chapecoense only won promotion to Brazil's top division in 2014 but they surprised everyone when they reached last year's Copa Sudamericana final. They were on their way to the first leg of that match when the plane went down near the Colombian city of Medellin. Only six people on board survived, including three players: goalkeeper Jackson Follmann, defender Neto and winger Alan Ruschel. Chapecoense included Neto and Ruschel in their squad for Tuesday's match. Harcourt Developments lost the contract for the Esplanade Quarter in 2009. The firm is attempting to take Senator Philip Ozouf and the States of Jersey Development Company (SOJDC) to court. The SOJDC said the agreement was terminated after the firm was not forthcoming when asked for evidence it could finance the development. The firm said it signed an agreement in 2007 making it the preferred development partner to build 400 homes, offices and a public garden on the Esplanade Quarter. Harcourt began the process of initiating legal action last year. In a preliminary hearing in the Royal Court, Solicitor General Howard Sharp, representing Senator Ozouf, argued the minister and the States had the final say over whether the development would go ahead. The company's lawyers argue the agreement at that stage was binding. Further legal arguments are due to be heard in two weeks before Bailiff Sir Michael Birt decides whether it will go to court. In 2012 the Jersey Development Company released plans for an international finance centre on the site with work due to start in 2013. Allen made breaks of 51, 53 and 122 in his comfortable victory over the English amateur on Tuesday. Five-time world champion O'Sullivan clinched a 4-1 win over his English compatriot David Gilbert. Current world champion Mark Selby, Judd Trump, Liang Wenbo and Alfie Burden also progressed to the last 16. Luxury ocean liner the Queen Mary 2 has rescued lone yachtsman Mervyn Wheatley after he issued a mayday. A massive storm, which saw 15m waves and 60-knot winds, left a number of yachts in trouble. The boats are competing in a transatlantic race hosted by the Royal Western Yacht Club (RWYC). A Cunard spokesman said that the QM2 was involved in a rescue operation "at the request of the US Coastguard". Mr Wheatley is now on board the QM2, is said to be safe and well and is now on his way to Halifax. One race yacht sank, and another lost its mast. The race began on 29 May. The Canadian Armed Forces says a fourth yacht has also declared an emergency but it is not known if this vessel is part of the race. The transatlantic race involves 22 boats made up of solo sailors and crews of two, racing race from Plymouth to Newport, Rhode Island in the US. The RWYC said it has been liaising with coastguard teams and says everyone is now safe. Mr Wheatley, 73, scuppered his yacht Tamarind after it was knocked sideways and a porthole was smashed sending water flooding into the boat. His wife Penny said the yacht was knocked over during a hurricane on Friday at about 02:00 BST. "He was down below when the mast went under water. "It meant everything was thrown across the cabin and he thinks some plywood went through the porthole and in came the water." She also said he scuppered the boat so it would not be a danger to other shipping. "He is fine, just tired. He has never lost another boat. The last 36 hours have been a nightmare, because she could have gone down with him on board. "There's no way he would have survived on a life-raft in those conditions." John Lewis, race director for the RWYC, told the BBC that three race competitors gave off emergency signals, and a further two needed help from the Canadian coastguard in Halifax. "I've been involved with these races for 25 years now, and this is the most extreme low depression going across the Atlantic at this time of year. "So it's very unusual, but these are professional sailors, they're used to arduous conditions but not really a once in a lifetime storm like this one." The captain of Queen Mary 2, Chris Wells, said Mr Wheatley had been found in "big seas" with high waves, and was brought aboard via the ship's rescue boat. Mr Wells added: "He is very happy to be here. I think he will have a much more leisurely and luxury transit to the other side of the Atlantic than he would have done in his 38-foot boat." A spokeswoman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said an RAF C-130 Hercules aircraft had been sent from the UK to help by providing top cover and communications assistance. Tarun Vijay, of the ruling BJP, was speaking to al-Jazeera about recent attacks on African nationals in India. African envoys have called the incidents racist in nature. But defending India, Mr Vijay said: "If we were racist, why would we have the south? Why do we live with them? We have black people around us." The comments triggered an immediate response on Twitter, with many south Indians asking if Mr Vijay was implying that the rest of India "chose" to live with them. Much of the outrage stems from the fact that there have been historical tensions between northern and southern Indians, based on language, culture and even skin colour. Mr Vijay quickly tried to carry out some damage control on his Twitter account, saying that he had "framed" the sentence badly and adding that Indians were victims of the "racist British". What he was trying to say, he said, was that Indians had fought racism and had "people with different colour and culture" but did not have any racism. However, Mr Vijay's attempts to explain did not seem to convince too many people, who continued to ridicule him. A spokesman for the party admitted that Mr Vijay could have "worded the comment differently". Mr Vijay was talking to al-Jazeera about attacks last month in Greater Noida, near Delhi, on a number of Nigerian nationals. Five Nigerian students were attacked by crowds, while another was beaten by a mob inside a shopping mall. Police say five people have been arrested over the violence and India's Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has promised an "impartial" inquiry.

"We continue to learn from incidents like that," said Twitter's director of public policy for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Sinead McSweeney. "If you stop learning, you stop providing a good service to your users." Ms McSweeney was talking with Newsbeat's technology reporter Johathan Blake. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube In 2014, Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, was summoned to Rome to become chief of the Vatican's finances, a new position created by Pope Francis in the wake of scandals at the Vatican Bank. But Cardinal Pell left another scandal behind him, and the anger over widespread sexual abuse of children by members of the Catholic clergy continues to rage in Australia. The cardinal was once again under fire this week over his refusal, on medical grounds, to return home to front the Royal Commission which is investigating how various institutions responded to the child abuse allegations. Tall and imperious, seen as aloof and arrogant by detractors, the 74-year-old has repeatedly faced allegations from abuse victims of a cover-up. These include that he was involved in moving notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale around parishes rather than reporting him, and that he attempted to bribe one of the victims of the now jailed priest to keep quiet. Cardinal Pell, who studied at Oxford and was a promising Australian Rules footballer in his youth, has repeatedly denied all allegations, while expressing regret for abuse victims. The cardinal is not facing any criminal charges, but critics say the publicity surrounding abuse which happened on his watch has made his Vatican position untenable. It was a biting satirical song from Tim Minchin, one of Australia's best known comedians, that propelled Cardinal Pell's refusal to return to Australia back into headlines this week. Minchin calls the cardinal a litany of names, among them "coward" and "pompous buffoon". He ends by challenging Cardinal Pell to come home, if not "by a sense of moral duty", then perhaps to "sue me". The lyrical assault was criticised by some. Jesuit priest and human rights lawyer Father Frank Brennan told broadcaster ABC that openly mocking a key witness risked turning the commission into a laughing stock, which would damage victims. But the song was well-received elsewhere and has been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube. All proceeds from it are being donated to a public funding drive that aims to send up to 15 witnesses, including abuse victims, to watch Cardinal Pell's testimony in Rome. That funding drive, launched by presenters from Australian television show The Project, has now raised more than A$175,000 ($125,000; £87,000). The cardinal was moved to hit back, saying there had been "a great deal of incorrect information". "Cardinal Pell has always helped victims, listened to them and considered himself their ally", said a statement released by his office on Thursday. "As an archbishop for almost 20 years he has led from the front to put an end to cover-ups, to protect vulnerable people and to try to bring justice to victims." "The cardinal is anxious to present the facts without further delays. It is ultimately a matter for the royal commission to determine the precise arrangements for the provision of evidence by the cardinal in Rome." The cardinal has already been before the commission twice, appearing first in person regarding a single case of abuse in Sydney, and then giving evidence by video link from Rome into a second Melbourne matter. Then last June he was called to give evidence a third time at hearings in Ballarat, a city of 100,000 people just outside Melbourne that was allegedly a hotspot of Catholic church sexual abuse. Explosive allegations have arisen from the city where Cardinal Pell was a priest from 1973-83, at one stage living in a presbytery with Ridsdale. The cardinal initially said he would be willing to attend the commission, but later his lawyers said he was too unwell to fly to Australia due to a heart condition. Commission chair Justice Peter McClellan in December rejected a bid that Cardinal Pell be allowed to give evidence via video link and said he should testify in person, comments which drew applause from victims at the commission hearing. But last week Justice McLennan bowed to further medical evidence from lawyers. The cardinal is slated to begin three days of evidence by video link on 29 February. Despite Minchin's taunts of cowardice, Cardinal Pell's critics are not expecting to see him back in Australia anytime soon.

The team handed out an undisclosed punishment to Rosberg, likely to be a fine, while agreeing to let them continue racing for the world title. They have been warned another similar incident "will not be tolerated". While Rosberg apologised to Hamilton in a statement on Friday, his British team-mate responded by admitting "we have both made mistakes". The two drivers collided on lap two of Sunday's race as Rosberg attempted to overtake Hamilton at the Les Combes chicane. Rosberg's front wing hit Hamilton's left rear tyre, damaging the wing and giving Hamilton a puncture which eventually caused the 2008 world champion's retirement. Rosberg recovered to finish second behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, moving into a 29-point championship lead over Hamilton with a maximum of 200 still available over the remaining seven races. The incident was the culmination of ever-building tension between the two over the preceding 11 races. It was a consequence of Rosberg wanting to prove a point to Hamilton that he would not be intimidated in wheel-to-wheel racing, after being forced to back out of passing moves in previous battles in the Bahrain and Hungarian Grands Prix. But in the meeting on Friday Mercedes head of motorsport Toto Wolff and executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe made it clear such actions were unacceptable and laid down strict guidelines for future racing between the two. The statement said: "During the meeting, Nico acknowledged his responsibility for the contact that occurred on lap two of the Belgian Grand Prix and apologised for this error of judgement. "Suitable disciplinary measures have been taken for the incident. "Mercedes-Benz remains committed to hard, fair racing because this is the right way to win world championships. It is good for the team, for the fans and for Formula 1. "Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team's number one rule: there must be no contact between the team's cars on track. "They remain free to race for the 2014 FIA Formula 1 world championship. Rosberg released a statement on Friday on his Facebook page, issuing a further apology. He said: "After meeting with Toto, Paddy and Lewis, I wish to go a step further and describe it as an error of judgement on my part. "The number one rule for us as team-mates is that we must not collide but that is exactly what happened. "For that error of judgement, I apologise to Lewis and the team. I also want to say sorry to the fans who were deprived of our battle for the lead in Belgium. "Lewis and I have been given clear instructions about how we race each other. "As drivers, we have a clear responsibility to the team, the fans of the sport, our partners and Mercedes-Benz to deliver clean racing. We take that responsibility very seriously." Hamilton then issued his own Facebook statement, which said: "Nico and I accept that we have both made mistakes and I feel it would be wrong to point fingers and say which one is worse than the other. "What's important is how we rise as a team from these situations. We win and we lose together and, as a team, we will emerge stronger. "There is a deep foundation that still exists for me and Nico to work from, in spite of our difficult times and differences. "The fans want to see a clean fight until the end of the season and that's what we want to give them." The Orchard men led by four points after 50 minutes but let their lead slip as they had Mark Shields and Aidan Forker dismissed in the second half. Laois had Paul Kingston sent-off in the latter stages for a second yellow card. Matthew Fitzpatrick's second half goal proved a mere consolation as Antrim suffered a 0-23 to 1-7 trouncing at Offaly, their second defeat in a row. Playing against a strong breeze, the Saffrons trailed 0-9 to 0-4 at the interval and they fell further behind in the second half, their deficit 13 points by the finish. Antrim were forced to play the last 10 minutes with 14 men after having substitute Jack Hannigan black-carded. Graham Guilfoyle (2), Fitzpatrick (2), Paddy McBride, Ryan Murray and CJ McGourty pointed for the Ulster county. Niall Donoher scored a first half goal for Laois as they went in level at 1-4 to 0-7 against Armagh, the home side's points coming from Stefan Campbell (2), Oisin O'Neill (2), Rory Grugan, Forker and Stephen Sheridan. Jamie Clarke and Niall Roland were among the scorers in the second half as Kieran McGeeney's side built up a four-point lead despite having Shields red-carded for a second yellow. Donal Kingston's 57th-minute penalty brought Laois to within a point at 0-14 to 2-7 by the 57th minute and those three late points proved decisive for the visitors as Forker and Kingston were both sent-off. The result will come as a further disappointment to Armagh as they let a six-point lead slip to draw with Sligo in their opening match of the campaign last week. Antrim lost to Tipperary at Thurles in their first fixture last weekend.

The FSA has so far been among the rebel groups targeted by Russian strikes which have drawn Western criticism. Russia is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It has been bombing targets in Syria since last month and says it is primarily hitting IS positions. But Western powers say most of the air strikes have hit the FSA and other factions backed by the West and Gulf states. In a TV interview, Mr Lavrov said that the refusal of the US to co-ordinate their anti-terrorism campaign with Russia had been "a big mistake". The foreign minister said that in addition Russia was ready to support the FSA, but was hampered in doing this because the US was refusing to provide information about rebel and IS positions. He said that a "correct understanding" of developments in war-torn Syria was emerging among Western politicians amid Europe's migrant crisis. The interview was recorded before talks on Friday with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Vienna. The transcript was released on Saturday. Mr Kerry said the talks had been "constructive" and that an expanded round of negotiations could take place next week. On Thursday, President Putin suggested the Syrian regime could be ready to work with some rebel groups against IS. Mr Putin said President Assad had agreed to the idea on a recent visit to Moscow. The US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all support rebel groups fighting the Syrian government. Russia backs President Assad, whose visit to Moscow on Tuesday was criticised by the US. Why is there a war in Syria? Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory. Who is fighting whom? Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other. What's the human cost? More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe. How has the world reacted? Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes. The entrepreneur and star of BBC's The Apprentice tweeted that one of his Twitter "racial abusers" was convicted at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. He added that the "level of abuse was so great I had to ask for help". The court said the 17-year-old, from Preston, Lancashire, admitted sending racially aggravated communication and was handed an eight-month referral to a youth offender panel. He was also told to pay £85 costs, a £15 victim surcharge and £100 compensation to Lord Sugar at the hearing on Wednesday. In a series of tweets, Lord Sugar, who lives in Chigwell, thanked Essex Police for "tracking him down". Responding to a follower who said "surely the police have better things to do", he said: "They do but the level of abuse was so great I had to ask for help and am truly grateful something had to be done." Lord Sugar himself was investigated by Merseyside Police in 2013 after being accused of posting a racist message on Twitter, but it said "no criminal offences" had taken place. The Swans' dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool lifted them off the foot of the Premier League table. Head coach Clement says they have to consolidate that performance against Saints at the Liberty Stadium. "We have to keep our performances going at home and trying to back up an away win with three points," he said. "This game is more important than the Liverpool game. "It has lifted the mood. A lot of people in the city will have seen it and there is a real belief and most importantly the players have it, I can sense it in them. "They believe that something special can be done this season." Southampton are 11th in the Premier League, place and nine points better off than 17th-placed Swansea. Clement admits it is odd to be playing on the final evening of the January transfer window. But he is happy that striker Fernando Llorente will still be a Swansea player on 1 February. The Spain international has scored seven goals in his last 11 appearances while being linked with a move to leaders Chelsea. Clement revealed that Llorente's two goals in the win at Liverpool in their last Premier League outing persuaded the 31-year-old to stay in south Wales. Asked if he was convinced Llorente was going to stay in January, Clement replied: "No, not always. "But after that game he had at Liverpool, he felt good. "We're happy with him so when both parties are happy, there's no need to move. "Of course, it (interest) can put questions in a player's mind, but in my conversations with him he has been happy here. "He has seen how the team is starting to play and he is very important to us." Swansea expect to complete the signing of Ghana international Jordan Ayew from Aston Villa on Tuesday, with defender Neil Taylor moving in the opposite direction. The deal will also see Villa receive a fee which could rise to £5m. But Swansea are now unlikely to sign a central defender. There was interest in Benfica's Argentina international Lisandro Lopez, but a loan move for the 33-year-old has been ruled out. Media playback is not supported on this device In the first of a two-part interview - the second of which will be broadcast at 02:00 GMT on Saturday - the 41-year-old American lifted the lid on one of the most high-profile stories in sporting history. Oprah Winfrey: Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? Lance Armstrong: "Yes." Was one of those banned substances EPO? "Yes." Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance? "Yes." Did you ever use any other banned substances such as testosterone, cortisone or Human Growth Hormone? "Yes." In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope? "Yes." Was it humanly possible to win the Tour de France without doping, seven times? "Not in my opinion. that generation. I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture." For 13 years you didn't just deny it, you brazenly and defiantly denied everything you just admitted just now. So why now admit it? "That is the best question. It's the most logical question. I don't know that I have a great answer. I will start my answer by saying that this is too late. It's too late for probably most people, and that's my fault. I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times, and as you said, it wasn't as if I just said no and I moved off it." You were defiant, you called other people liars. "I understand that. And while I lived through this process, especially the last two years, one year, six months, two, three months, I know the truth. The truth isn't what was out there. The truth isn't what I said, and now it's gone - this story was so perfect for so long. And I mean that, as I try to take myself out of the situation and I look at it. You overcome the disease, you win the Tour de France seven times. You have a happy marriage, you have children. I mean, it's just this mythic perfect story, and it wasn't true." Was it hard to live up to that picture that was created? "Impossible. Certainly I'm a flawed character, as I well know, and I couldn't do that." But didn't you help paint that picture? "Of course, I did. And a lot of people did. All the fault and all the blame here falls on me. But behind that picture and behind that story is momentum. Whether it's fans or whether it's the media, it just gets going. And I lost myself in all of that. I'm sure there would be other people that couldn't handle it, but I certainly couldn't handle it, and I was used to controlling everything in my life. I controlled every outcome in my life." You said to me earlier you don't think it was possible to win without doping? "Not in that generation, and I'm not here to talk about others in that generation. It's been well-documented. I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture, and that's my mistake, and that's what I have to be sorry for, and that's what something and the sport is now paying the price because of that. So I am sorry for that. I didn't have access to anything else that nobody else did." Usada issued a 164-page report. CEO Travis Tygart said you and US Postal team pulled off the most sophisticated, professional and successful doping programme sport has ever seen. Was it? "No. It definitely was professional, and it was definitely smart, if you can call it that, but it was very conservative, very risk-averse, very aware of what mattered. One race mattered for me. But to say that that program was bigger than the East German doping program in the '70s and '80s? That's not true." What was the culture? Can you explain the culture to us? "I don't want to accuse anybody else. I don't want to talk about anybody else. I made my decisions. They are my mistakes, and I am sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I'm sorry for that. The culture was what it was." Was everybody doing it? That's what we've heard. Was everybody doing it? "I didn't know everybody. I didn't live and train with everybody. I didn't race with everybody. I can't say that. There will be people that say that. There will be people that say, 'OK, there are 200 guys on the tour, I can tell you five guys that didn't, and those are the five heroes', and they're right." How were you able to do it? Walk me through it. Pill deliveries, blood in secret refrigerators… how did it work? "I viewed it as very simple. There were things that were oxygen-supplying drugs that were beneficial for cycling. My cocktail was EPO, but not a lot, transfusions and testosterone. "I thought, surely I'm running low [on testosterone following the cancer battle] but there's no true justification." Were you afraid of getting caught? In 1999 there was not even a test for EPO... "No. Testing has evolved. Back then they didn't come to your house and there was no testing out of competition and for most of my career there wasn't that much out-of-competition testing so you're not going to get caught because you clean up for the races. "It's a question of scheduling. That sounds weird. I'm no fan of the UCI but the introduction of the biological passport [in 2008] worked. "I'm paying the price and I deserve this. That's okay. I deserve it. "My ruthless desire to win at all costs served me well on the bike but the level it went to, for whatever reason, is a flaw. That desire, that attitude, that arrogance." When you placed third in 2009, you did not dope? "The last time I crossed that line was 2005." Does that include blood transfusions? No doping or blood transfusions in 2009… 2010? "Absolutely not." Were you the one in charge? "I was the top rider, the leader of the team." If someone was not doing something to your satisfaction could you get them fired? "No. I guess I could have but I never did. I was the leader of the team and the leader leads by example. There was never a direct order. That never happened. We were all grown men and made our choices. There were team-mates who didn't dope." One former team-mate, Christian Vande Velde, told Usada you threatened to kick him off the team if he didn't shape up and conform to the doping programme? "That's not true. There was a level of expectation. We expected guys to be fit to be able to compete. I'm not the most believable guy in the world right now. If I do it I'm leading by example so that's a problem. "I view one as a verbal directive and that didn't exist. I take that. The leader of the team, the guy that my team-mates looked up to, I accept that 100%. I care a lot about Christian but when you go on to other teams and show the same behaviour..." Were you a bully? "Yes, I was a bully. I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative and if I didn't like what someone said I turned on them." Is that your nature - when someone says something you don't like, you go on attack? Have you been like that your entire life - 10-years-old, 12-years-old and 14-years-old? "My entire life. Before my diagnosis I was a competitor but not a fierce competitor. When I was diagnosed, that turned me into a fighter. That was good. I took that ruthless win-at-all-costs attitude into cycling which was bad." How important was winning to you and would you do anything to win at all costs? "It was win at all costs. When I was diagnosed (with cancer) I would do anything to survive. I took that attitude - win at all costs - to cycling. That's bad. I was taking drugs before that but I wasn't a bully." To keep on winning it meant you had to keep taking banned substances to do it? Are you saying that's how common it was? "Yes, and I'm not sure that this is an acceptable answer, but that's like saying we have to have air in our tyres or we have to have water in our bottles. That was, in my view, part of the job." When you look at that do you feel embarrassed, shame, humble, tell me what you feel? "This is the second time in my life when I can't control the outcome. The first was the disease. The scary thing is, winning seven Tour de Frances, I knew I was going to win." Was there happiness in winning when you knew you were taking these banned substances? "There was more happiness in the process, in the build, in the preparation. The winning was almost phoned in." Was it a big deal to you, did it feel wrong? "No. Scary." It did not even feel wrong? "No. Even scarier." Did you feel bad about it? "No. The scariest." Did you feel in any way that you were cheating? You did not feel you were cheating taking banned drugs? "At the time, no. I kept hearing I'm a drug cheat, I'm a cheat, I'm a cheater. I went in and just looked up the definition of cheat and the definition of cheat is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe that they don't have. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field." But you knew that you were held to a higher standard. You're Lance Armstrong. "I knew that, and of course hindsight is perfect. I know it a thousand times more now. I didn't know what I had. Look at the fallout." What do you mean by you 'didn't know'? I don't think people will understand what you're saying. When you and I met a week ago you didn't think it was that big? How could you not? "I see the anger in people, betrayal, it's all there. People who believed in me and supported me and they have every right to feel betrayed and it's my fault and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologise to people." You never offered it [performance-enhancing drugs] to them [team-mates], suggested they see Dr Michele Ferrari? "There are people in this story, they are good people, we've all made mistakes, they are not toxic and evil. I viewed Dr Michele Ferrari as a good man and I still do." Was he the leader and mastermind behind the team's doping programme? How would you characterise his influence on the team? "No. I'm not comfortable talking about other people. It's all out there." David Walsh of the Sunday Times in London said your relationship with Ferrari immediately dialled suspicion on you. Can you see that relationship was reckless? "There were plenty of other reckless things. That would be a very good way to characterise that period of my life." What about the story [masseuse] Emma O'Reilly tells about cortisone and you having cortisone backdated - is that true? "That was true." What do you want to say about Emma O'Reilly? You sued her? "Emma O'Reilly is one of these people I have to apologise to. We ran over her, we bullied her." You sued her? "To be honest, Oprah, we sued so many people I don't even [know]. I'm sure we did." When people were saying things - Walsh, O'Reilly, Betsy Andreu [wife of former team-mate Frankie Andreu] and many others - you would then go on the attack for them, suing and know they were telling the truth. What is that? "When I hear that there are people who will never believe me I understand that. One of the steps of this process is to say sorry. I was wrong, you were right." Have you called Betsy Andreu? Did she take your call? Was she telling the truth about the Indiana hospital, overhearing you in 1996? Was Betsy lying? "I'm not going to take that on. I'm laying down on that one. I'm going to put that one down. She asked me, and I asked her not to talk about it." Is it well with two of you? Have you made peace? "No, because they've been hurt too badly, and a 40-minute [phone] conversation isn't enough." [With] Emma you implied the 'whore' word. How do you feel about that today? Were you trying to put her down? Shut her up? "I don't feel good. I was just on the attack. The territory was being threatened. The team was being threatened. I was on the attack." This is the clip I just cannot reconcile [winning speech after seventh Tour de France win]… What were you trying to accomplish there? "I've made some mistakes in my life and that was a mistake (standing on podium after winning 2005 Tour de France and saying "believe in miracles"). Were you particularly trying to rub it in the faces of those who came out against you and say they were lying - were you addressing them? What were you saying that for? "That was the first year they gave the mic to the winner of the Tour and I was wondering what I was going to say. That just came out. Looking back at it now, it looks ridiculous." You said dozens of times in interviews you never failed a test. Do you have a different answer today? "No I didn't fail a test. Retroactively, I failed one. The hundreds of tests I took, I passed them. There was retroactive stuff later on." What about the Tour de Suisse [in 2001]? "That story isn't true. There was no positive test. No paying off of the lab. The UCI did not make that go away. I'm no fan of the UCI. You made a donation to the UCI and said that donation was about helping anti-doping efforts. Obviously it was not. Why did you make that donation? "It was not in exchange for help. They called and said they didn't have a lot of money - I did. They asked if I would make a donation so I did." Many people feel the real tipping point was [former team-mate] Floyd Landis's decision to come forward and confess? "My comeback didn't sit well with Floyd." Do you remember where you were when you heard Floyd, a former team-mate and protege, was going to talk? "I was in a hotel room (upon hearing Landis would reveal details of Armstrong's doping). Floyd was sending text messages about his interview. I finally said 'do what you have to do'. He went to the Wall Street Journal with the story." Did you rebuff him, would you say you rebuffed Floyd? Did you rebuff him after he was stripped of his Tour win, did you just blow him off? "Up to that point I supported him when he tested positive. I tried to keep him on my team because he knew what others didn't. I didn't shun him." So that was the tipping point. And your comeback was also a tipping point. Do you regret coming back? "I do. We wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't come back." You would have gotten away with it? "Impossible to say, there would have been better chances but I didn't." Did you not always think this day was coming? Did you not think you would be found out at some point, especially as so many people knew? "I just assumed the stories would continue for a long time. We're sitting here because there was a two-year criminal federal investigation." When the Department of Justice dropped the case, did you think 'now finally it's over, done, victory'? You thought you were out of the woods; the wolves had left the door? "I thought I was out of the woods. And those were some serious wolves." What was the reaction when you learned Usada was going to pick up the case and pursue the case against you? "My reaction was to fight back. I'd do anything to go back to that day. I wouldn't fight. I wouldn't sue them. I'd listen. I'd say guys, granted I was treated differently to other guys. Treated differently in that I wasn't approached at the same time as other riders. "They gathered all of the evidence and they came to me and said what are you going to do? Going back I'd say 'give me three days. Let me call my family, my mother, sponsors, foundation' and I wish I could do that but I can't." Will you co-operate with Usada to help clear up the sport of cycling? "I love cycling and I say that knowing that people see me as someone who disrespected the sport, the colour yellow. If we can, and I stand on no moral platform here, if there was truth and reconciliation commission - and I can't call for that - if they have it and I'm invited I'll be first man through the door." When you heard that [former team-mate] George Hincapie had been called to testify by Usada, did you feel that was the last card in this deck, the last straw? "My fate was sealed [by George]. If George didn't say it then people would say 'I'm sticking with Lance'. George is the most credible voice in all of this. We're still great friends. I don't fault George. George knows this story better than anybody." The first part will be shown again on the Discovery Channel at 20:00 GMT on Friday. The BBC Sport website will have a special live text commentary during the second broadcast at 02:00 GMT on Saturday.

Hygiene concerns about Cats, Cakes and Coffee were raised shortly after it opened in Leicester in August. A hygiene rating of one means "major improvement necessary". But owner Lisa Rivers insisted she was only given the low rating because of a paperwork problem, and closed the cafe due to her own ill health. "The cats are all back at their home, and happy and healthy," said Ms Rivers. "The rating of one was given purely because I didn't have the paperwork on the premises on the day the environmental health visited." Leicester City Council, which inspected the cafe, received several reports from concerned members of the public. Dominic Shellard, vice chancellor of De Montfort University in Leicester, tweeted that he was "very disturbed" when he visited the cafe describing an "overpowering smell of cat faeces". But Ms Rivers insisted the cafe was hygienic and the cats were happy. The charity Cats Protection has concerns about cat cafes, and said there are "welfare implications of having a number of cats in a limited space with groups of people unknown to them coming and going throughout the day". The world's first cat cafe is thought to have opened in Taiwan in 1998, and the concept then became popular in Japan. The idea has spread around the world in recent years, with cat cafes in Paris and London attracting long waiting lists. The rare native species is under threat of extinction due to cross breeding with feral and domestic cats and habitat loss. The three kittens, born at the end of April, are part of a conservation breeding programme. It aims to build up a sustainable population to boost the long-term prospects for the species. Captive breeding forms part of the Scottish Wildcat Conservation Action Plan unveiled in September 2013. Scottish Natural Heritage and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland said it was necessary to conserve the cats. They are among 30 organisations backing the action plan. However, the project has been criticised by the Captive Animals' Protection Society. It instead supports the use of the the Wildcat Haven, a 500 square mile area that covers parts of the Ardnamurchan and Morvern peninsulas.

Wales travel to Dublin on 24 March for a pivotal match against Group D leaders the Republic of Ireland, who they trail by four points in third place. "I'm not at all worried," said Coleman. "Anybody sensible looking at him, he never does that. I don't even know what happened. But he is a human being and sometimes you do something and regret it." Bale's red card against Las Palmas was his first since he was dismissed in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 defeat by Stoke City in October 2008. His furious reaction to a push from Viera was in startling contrast to his usual placid demeanour. And although Bale is frequently a target for robust challenges from opponents, Coleman does not believe Wales' talisman is affected by attempts to unsettle him. "If you look at his past he has been kicked from pillar to post, so I won't be worried," he added. "I remember when we played Scotland and some ex-Scottish player said 'He can't play if he hasn't got any legs'. "I looked at that and thought, 'Does he really seriously think that is going to bother him?' If you look and see where he is playing, under the pressure, in the spotlight, week in, week out, so whatever the opposition have got planned for him, he's seen it before and dealt with it before." Kathy Wiles, who was due to stand in the 2015 Westminster election, said she wanted to highlight the dangers of using children in political campaigns. Her initial tweet was responding to a picture showing children at the demo wearing pro-independence T-shirts. Ms Wiles has apologised and resigned as a candidate for the seat of Angus. The Labour Party said it would swiftly get a replacement. Ms Wiles posted the contentious Nazi picture in relation to a social media debate about a protest outside BBC Scotland on Sunday afternoon about the corporation's coverage of the independence referendum. She was responding to a photo from the protest which showed children standing underneath a promotional banner for pro-"Yes" blog Wings Over Scotland. Replies to the tweet likened the photo to the Hitler Youth, to which Ms Wiles responded with an image showing children gathered around a swastika. Ms Wiles was criticised by the father of two of the children in the protest photograph. He tweeted: "How dare you compare my children to the Hitler youth, despicable." Ms Wiles apologised through her Twitter page @KathyWforAngus on Tuesday morning, writing: "I tweeted a picture on Sunday which has caused offence for which I apologise unequivocally. "My intention was to make a point about the dangers of using young children in political campaigns, not to make any inference about those in the photo." She has since deleted her account. Scottish Labour later confirmed it had accepted Ms Wiles's resignation as a parliamentary candidate. A party spokesman said: "We believe that Kathy Wiles has taken the right decision to withdraw in Angus and we will move swiftly to get another candidate in place. "The debate about Scotland's future should be held in a respectful and positive way and we will take robust and immediate action if any of our members fall below these standards." Daniel Kelley, from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, pleaded guilty to hacking at the Old Bailey. Judge Paul Worsley warned Kelley that, despite having no previous convictions, jail time was "inevitable" and that he should "prepare" himself. Personal data belonging to nearly 157,000 customers was stolen from TalkTalk in October 2015. Earlier, a 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, was sentenced after a separate hearing at Norwich Youth Court. Kelley admitted hacking into TalkTalk's systems to get customer data and also demanding a payment of 465 bitcoins. That amount of the digital currency is currently worth £286,295. He also pleaded guilty to further charges including blackmail and money laundering. Kelley has been bailed until his sentencing, scheduled for 6 March 2017. Email addresses and bank details were taken after the firm's website was breached, an incident that TalkTalk later said had cost it £42m. A total of six people, all aged under 21, have been arrested as part of the police investigation into the matter. Reacting to the prosecutions, a TalkTalk spokesman said: "The Metropolitan Police and the CPS have worked hard to find those responsible for the cyber attack, and we are pleased that their investigations have led to two successful prosecutions. "We hope that this outcome will encourage other companies to inform their customers and the police quickly when they are attacked." In October, the Information Commissioner's Office imposed a record fine of £400,000 on TalkTalk for poor website security. Kelley's hacking offences involved TalkTalk and half a dozen other organisations. One of those organisations included a Welsh further education college, Coleg Sir Gar, where Kelley was a student. Targeting his college's website with a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack interfered with a local hospital nearby, the court heard. This had the effect of delaying the return of medical files to doctors. "We are relieved that the perpetrator of these attacks has been brought to justice and wish to thank the police for their excellent support throughout this difficult period," said Mike Williams, the college's assistant principal for planning, information and finance. He has joined as an overseas signing, rather than on a Kolpak deal. The 34-year-old will play in the County Championship and One-Day Cup games and then is expected to be included in the South Africa squad to face England in their four-Test series this summer. Cook has played nine Tests for his country after his debut against England in January 2016, when he hit a century. "Ever since I was a young boy, watching my dad (Jimmy Cook) play for Somerset, I always dreamed of one day playing county cricket," he said. "Now in linking up with Durham I am getting to live out that dream." Durham were relegated from Division One of the County Championship over financial issues last season and will start the campaign with a 48-point deduction. About 20 pupils from Port Talbot's Eastern Primary School learnt juggling and other skills from performers in Cardiff. The circus responded after the school asked for a workshop to help build pupils' self-esteem and confidence. Teaching assistant Leighanne Palmer said the school was "overwhelmed" when they agreed. Julie Davies, also a teaching assistant, said wellbeing was "highly important" to the school and they had hoped to find a way to build the children's social skills and emotional literacy. The circus responded to a letter asking for its stars to give the children some hints on performing. Callum, 10, of Year 6, said: "I've never been to a circus before, so it's been really fun to learn things like skipping and juggling." And Carys, 11, of Year 6, who wants to be doctor when she is older, said her favourite exercise had been the skipping - but for an eccentric reason. "If you're on a stage you can actually jump more quietly than on normal ground," she said. The pupils made the visit at Cardiff City Stadium, where the circus is running part of its nationwide tour. Ms Palmer said the experience had been "absolutely fantastic". "It hit home when we asked the children before they came how many children had seen the circus and no-one had. That was very poignant to us." Jenia Didyk, 28, who performs on the Ukrainian double swing, said the event was like a "prize" for the performers. "It was very fun and I think maybe in the future some [of the children] may be professional artists," he said. Mr Wells resigned on Monday saying he wanted to help his wife Grace "during her fight for life". Police are investigating the incident which happened during an election canvas by Mr Wells in County Down. "To me he was trying to say sorry for upsetting my partner, not what he said," the woman added. She added: "Even if he was to try and apologise again, I don't think I would accept it let alone my partner because I don't understand what he wants to apologise for." It is believed the Police Service of Northern Ireland is trying to establish if an offence has been committed with regard to the incident. The woman, who says she is a DUP voter, was interviewed for BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme on Monday alongside her partner's daughter. They wish to remain anonymous. The women said they had a great deal of sympathy for Mr Wells and his wife however they felt the opinions he voiced were inappropriate for a public representative. One of the women claimed Mr Wells, who was doing door-to-door canvassing in Rathfriland on Saturday, had called at their house, and during a conversation was critical of their lifestyle. "He came over to the fence and he was smiling and he was talking and my partner had apparently said 'no I'm not voting for you because I have seen your views on the television and I am a lesbian'," she said. "He said 'well I don't believe in your lifestyle choices'. "And my partner explained they weren't choices, this was just the way she was." "She went into the house and told me what had happened and was upset about the issue. I rang her daughter. "My partner has mental health issues so she couldn't really comprehend what he was saying. "He said to me he didn't like the lifestyle choices and it was wrong but that was all he said." Her partner's daughter said she then made contact with Mr Wells in the street after being told her mother was upset. She said Mr Wells had said he thought her mother was joking but she had said "this is no joke". "So he said 'what will happen if I go down and apologise to her?' I said 'I don't know you can go and try whatever'," she added. She said Mr Wells mentioned lifestyle choices a number of times and was "adamant" he did not agree with "those lifestyle choices". The woman's partner said Mr Wells had then called at their home in a bid to apologise. "He came on to the property after being told a number of times he was not welcome and I ran out and guided him back down the path and said I told you not to be on this property," she said. "And he said 'I really just want to apologise, if you won't take my apology can I not at least apologise to your partner's daughter, where does she live'." The woman's daughter said Mr Wells had also called at her home. She said Mr Wells was at her house "for about 10 minutes" but she did not answer. "About 10 minutes he stood knocking and knocking and knocking," she added. Mr Wells resignation follows his remarks at a hustings where he linked same-sex relationships to child abuse. He later apologised for those comments. He is a Westminster candidate for the DUP in the South Down constituency. The other candidates in South Down are Felicity Buchan of the Conservatives, Chris Hazzard of Sinn Féin, the UUP's Harold McKee, Henry Reilly of UKIP, the SDLP's Margaret Ritchie and Martyn Todd of the Alliance Party. Lacey made 72 appearances for the Glovers after joining them from Luton before the 2015-16 season. The 23-year-old is Gillingham's first signing since former manager Peter Taylor was named director of football. The Gills finished 20th in League One this season, just one point above the relegation zone. "We offered him a fantastic deal to remain at Huish Park but he wanted to play at a higher level," Yeovil boss Darren Way told the club website. "We wish him all the best in his career."

The Australian bank is expected to demerge 75% of Clydesdale to its shareholders. The remaining shares will be sold in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) in February. Clydesdale said last week that trading in the three months to December was in line with expectations. NAB, which bought the business in 1987, said it planned to quit the 177-year-old Scottish bank in 2014 after facing a consumer backlash over methods used to sell loan insurance. Clydesdale shares are slated to be listed on the London stock exchange on 2 February after final pricing on the same day. The Australian lender also said it may choose not to proceed with IPO or proceed with a smaller offering, in which case it would retain some ownership in the bank. Australia's major banks are seeking to raise cash by issuing shares and selling non-core business units after new rules require them to have a greater amount of cash in reserve as a buffer for their loan books. The annual "pull a pine" event invites volunteers to remove pines from heathland in Purbeck, Dorset, and take the tree home. Organisers RSPB Arne said removing the pines was "essential" to maintaining the nature reserve as part of its conservation efforts. The site is made up of open heathland and old oak woodland. It is home to Dartford warblers, who nest in the heather, nightjars and up to 22 species of dragonflies. The moon's unusual appearance is the result of a rare coincidence. It appears larger than usual because it is at its lowest point in its orbit around the Earth, while its reddish tint is the result of an eclipse. Here is a selection of images from around the world, including some sent in by BBC News website readers. Until a late-race car problem forced him to retire, the Spaniard was on course to secure an unlikely point for a team that, even some insiders will admit privately, is in crisis at the start of the 2017 Formula 1 season. Pre-season testing had gone so badly for McLaren that it looked like they would struggle not to be on the back of the grid. After some hasty work on reliability by Honda and improvements to the car, Alonso qualified 13th. For much of the race in Melbourne, he was in 10th place, valiantly holding off Esteban Ocon's Force India, which had a 27km/h advantage on the straight. McLaren racing director Eric Boullier described Alonso's drive as "prodigiously impressive". The same could be said of many of his races in an under-powered McLaren over the last two years - such as his fifth places in Monaco and the USA last year, or his drive to seventh from last on the grid in Belgium. Results that helped McLaren secure sixth place in the championship. In two separate news conferences over the weekend, Lewis Hamilton expressed his regret that Alonso was not racing at the front, saying he "deserved it", as one of the best drivers on the grid. As Hamilton said: "It would be great to have Fernando up there but it doesn't look like it is going to happen any time soon." Indeed it doesn't. While Alonso's achievements at Albert Park amount to positive progress in the context of McLaren-Honda's dire pre-season, they are a long way from the ambitions of this once-great team and its still-great number one driver. This was the year the McLaren-Honda alliance was supposed to finally hit its stride after two difficult seasons. Alonso spent much of last year saying how the change in regulations gave McLaren a chance to close the gap on Mercedes, and Honda promised it would make a big step forward with its engine. Even as recently as the launch of the McLaren car in late February, Honda F1 boss Yusuke Hasegawa was expressing his hope that the redesigned Honda engine would match the performance of Mercedes' 2016 power-unit by the start of the season. It has not worked out that way. Pre-season testing was beset by difficulties, Honda getting through at least five engines in the course of eight days. Alonso said the engine had "no power and no reliability". There were several problems, but a couple of fundamental ones: a major vibration that was either breaking the engine, or damaging ancillaries enough to make it shut down; and less power than last year's engine. Informed estimates put its deficit to the new Mercedes engine at somewhere between 120-160bhp. The vibration problem is severe enough that Honda should, in one way, be applauded for the progress it made in enabling Alonso, at least, to run a pretty much normal weekend. The same could not be said for his new team-mate Stoffel Vandoorne, but that's another story. But while the engine ran relatively reliably, it still badly lacked performance, and it is clear that patience is running out, the partnership close to breaking point. While expressing the need for improvement, Alonso was mostly sanguine about the situation in his public appearances over the course of the weekend. But there were still glimpses behind the mask. He sat stony faced in the team's post-qualifying news conference, until the question of how he motivated himself to go through another season like this was brought up. Where's your head at, he was asked? "I expect a big change in the team, a big reaction," he said. "We will not be 13th all season. Or I will not be." The message was clear. Sort it out, or I'm off. The big question is what happens next. BBC Sport revealed two weeks ago that McLaren had made an initial approach to Mercedes about a potential engine supply in the wake of the problems in testing. This despite a "multi-year contract" with Honda. It was notable at the Australian Grand Prix that when asked about this development, McLaren racing director Eric Boullier neither denied it, nor made any attempt to play down the potential of the team splitting with Honda. "Obviously we are looking at every option to recover and catch up," Boullier said, "because we are definitely not in the position that we were expecting to be and we want to be." Hasegawa admitted: "We are having a strong pressure from the team and from the drivers. We try to keep improving." Self-evidently, McLaren's decision to talk to Mercedes, even if only briefly, means the team's senior management are considering whether they should try to get out of their contract with Honda. Which means they must have doubts about whether the Japanese motor giant will ever be able to provide a competitive engine during the life of their partnership. Honda contribute something in the region of $70m a year and free engines to McLaren - close to a net $90-100m when the cost of buying a customer engine is added. Asked how it felt about the team talking to a rival, Hasegawa said: "This is just a rumour." Challenged that it was a fact, he said: "I don't know. I don't care about that. The thing we have to do is keep concentrating." On the subject of potentially changing engines, Boullier said: "I am not going to comment on these kind of discussions. It is a private discussion we have with Honda to recover, considering all options. "We are responsible for McLaren and Hasegawa-san is responsible for Honda. As partners we try to help each other and support each other because the key secret is to be as integrated as possible." His answer did little to diminish the belief that McLaren are at least considering trying to find a way out of their contract with Honda. The question is why they would think that was a good idea. On the face of it, it sounds like one. On a simplistic level, it would seem logical that if a Mercedes engine was plugged into a McLaren, the car would be much more competitive. Boullier claimed during winter testing that McLaren would win if it had a Mercedes engine. On a simple calculation of the minimum power deficit, a Mercedes engine might potentially make the McLaren in the region of two seconds quicker. Alonso was 3.2 seconds off the pace in qualifying. So changing might - at best - put McLaren about sixth or so on the grid. But there are wider considerations than that. For a start, where would the missing money come from? McLaren are run by very rich men - the Bahraini royal family is a 50% shareholder and 25% shareholder Mansour Ojjeh is a billionaire. They could easily fund the shortfall if they wanted to - but that situation is sustainable for only so long. McLaren's new executive director Zak Brown is the best sponsor-finder in the paddock. But in a difficult market, finding income worth $70m a year for a team struggling to score a point, even if he can sell it on the idea of switching to Mercedes is not going to be easy. Beyond that, customer Mercedes engines is not a long-term strategy. Red Bull buck the trend, but it is widely accepted in F1 that if a team wants to win the title, it has to have a works engine partnership. And no other Mercedes customer team are close to the factory outfit's performance, despite the regulatory requirement to provide identical engines. That's because F1 cars are complex pieces of machinery. The Mercedes car is designed around the Mercedes engine, which is built after conversations between the two arms of the team. The customers get what they are given and do not have the same opportunity for integration. Then there is the question of how McLaren would get out of its Honda contract. Honda is showing no signs of wanting to quit. It sees F1 as a long-term project. If McLaren sought a way out, Honda might acquiesce. But the company would be highly unlikely to pay any money in the form of compensation. It might even take offence, and sue McLaren. A case Honda has vastly more resources to fight than the team. Once out of its Honda contract, McLaren would then need to look for another works engine partner. Yet not only are no other car companies expressing an interest in F1, but any approached would surely look at the way McLaren have treated Honda and wonder whether they were a team with which it was wise to get involved. The perceived risk in persevering with Honda is that it might never manage to produce a competitive engine, and that by the time it realises this and pulls out of F1, McLaren will be in such dire straits that the company would be on its knees. But McLaren already have a relatively limited sponsor portfolio, with Honda providing the bulk of their income beyond official prize money. And if Honda did quit in, say, three years' time, the rules mean that one of the remaining engine companies would be obliged to supply McLaren then - so it is arguable they would be no worse off than they are now. The alternative ending is that McLaren use this situation as an opportunity. They can hope that their public flirting with Mercedes wakes Honda up to the need to do a better job. They could apologise privately, express their commitment to the partnership's success, and offer to work ever more closely together with Honda reach the standards required. And they could redouble their collective efforts to making it so. Whether Alonso would hang around in that scenario is another question. But, brilliant though he is as a grand prix driver, McLaren have much bigger problems than that right now. The Bahrainis, Ojjeh and Brown have some serious thinking to do. And any decision they make requires wisdom and long-term strategy, not short-term tactical opportunism. Home skipper Michael Raynes was stretchered off early on with a head injury in a scrappy first period. Carlisle broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when Charlie Wyke slotted home from eight yards following a nicely-worked free-kick. The home side then doubled their lead when Wyke's effort found Alex Gilliead, who drilled home from 12 yards. The Children's Laureate is a well known writer of children's books who promotes and encourage children's interest in books, reading and writing. A new one is chosen every two years and he takes over from author Malorie Blackman who held the post before. Chris Riddell has written and illustrated his own books. But he's also worked with many other popular children's authors such as Michael Rosen, Neil Gaiman and Quentin Blake. He says his mission for the next two years is to encourage "drawing every day" and he wants kids to doodle more. "There comes a point where children decide that they can't draw. I want to say, 'don't stop drawing - carry on, and do a sketch a day. I think stories can grow out of the visual. It can be an engine for literacy." Chris Riddell said "I'm interested in illustration in all its forms. Not only in books for children but in posters, prints and performance, as a way of drawing people into books and stories." He also says school libraries are very important. "School librarians play such an enormous role in bringing children to books they are going to enjoy. It's a magic alchemy when that works." The payout - the largest class action settlement in Australia - was over the deadliest of the Black Saturday fires, which killed 173 people in 2009. Thousands sued a power company and others for negligence over the fire. The settlement does not include any admissions of liability. The case centred on the most deadly blaze on Black Saturday, 7 February 2009, when wildfires swept across several areas in the state of Victoria. This particular fire, in the Kilmore East area north of Melbourne, killed 119 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes. A 2009 Royal Commission found that the fire began when an electricity line failed between two poles. Contact between the live conductor and a cable stay supporting the pole caused arcing that ignited vegetation, the report said. The plaintiffs accused SP AusNet of failing to adequately maintain its power lines. They also sued Utility Services Corporation Ltd, the line maintenance contractor, and the Victoria state government's Department of Sustainability and Environment for inadequate prevention measures. Earlier this year, the group was awarded a settlement of A$497.4m ($467m, £274m), of which SP AusNet is expected to pay A$378.6m. The settlement - which includes the state government - does not come with any admission of liability by any of the parties. The agreement needed the final approval of the court, which was given on Tuesday. Carol Matthews, who lost her son, Sam, in the fire, told the AFP news agency that the Victoria state Supreme Court's approval was "a huge relief". "Nothing will ever replace what we have lost, but today we have been vindicated for standing up for our rights," the agency quotes her as saying. The deadline for members of the public, interest groups and institutions to send their proposals to the Smith Commission closed at 17:00 on Friday. Provisional numbers showed it had received 14,000 emails and letters from the general public. And it had received more than 250 submissions from institutions. The commission, headed by Lord Smith of Kelvin, is currently considering greater autonomy for the Scottish Parliament in the wake of September's "No" vote on Scottish independence. Lord Smith said: "When I accepted the invitation to lead the commission I was determined to make sure that the public and Scotland's civic institutions would have the chance to have their say. "I believe we have undertaken a broad ranging programme which has been as extensive as it was possible to achieve in the time available. "I have been delighted by the response and want to thank the many individuals and organisations who worked hard to make substantial and thoughtful submissions." He said the political parties would have the chance to reflect on the submissions before any decisions are made. Lord Smith added: "They will be given full access to all submissions and we will shortly hold a dedicated session of all-party talks to discuss them." Trade unions, charities and industry bodies have made submissions and Lord Smith has held a number of meetings around the country to discuss the proposals. The commission was set up after David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg made a vow in the run-up to the referendum that there would be further substantial devolution if Scotland rejected independence and stayed in the UK. But Lord Smith - who recently chaired the organising committee for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games - has stressed it is not solely the three main Westminster parties who will be involved in the negotiations. The SNP are represented on the Commission by Finance Secretary John Swinney and MSP Linda Fabiani; Labour by Holyrood finance spokesman Iain Gray and Westminster shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont; the Conservatives by former Scottish leader Annabel Goldie and academic Professor Adam Tomkins. The Liberal Democrats are represented by former Scottish secretary Michael Moore and ex-Scottish leader Tavish Scott; and the Scottish Greens by co-leaders Patrick Harvie and Maggie Chapman. Under the timetable already agreed for reform, an agreement on recommendations for what new powers should be transferred north has to be reached by the end of November, with draft legislation produced by the end of January 2015. This would then be implemented by whatever party wins next year's general election. Chi Onwurah, who represents Newcastle Central for Labour described the find as "upsetting". The image was stuck to a cupboard in a communal kitchen in an MPs' building opposite the House of Commons. It shows an elderly man, with the message: "Just £3 from you could clothe and feed this 12-year-old Syrian child for a week". Ms Onwurah tweeted: "Upset someone in Parliament thought it funny to display this in the communal kitchen over the weekend." The shadow business and energy minister said she would be writing to the Serjeant at Arms of the House of Commons. She said: "If it was in a building where the public goes it would have been offensive, but it could have been anybody. "Here it must have been someone who has a parliamentary pass, who lives or works here. "It was sellotaped onto a cupboard above the kitchen sink, not just left lying around for someone to have a chuckle over - it was definitely there to make a point. "There are obviously challenges around migration in Europe with the war in Syria, it's so upsetting in itself, and frustrating in terms of what we can do. "But these are human beings, not to be demonised, reduced to a meme. "If people want to have a laugh or a joke they should do that in their own office, this is a working space. "I do find it offensive, I don't want those attitudes in my working environment, and shouldn't have to see that when I go to make a cup of coffee, or tea." Sullay Kaikai blasted in for the home side after visiting goalkeeper Luke Daniels dropped a first-half corner. Kyle Wootton levelled for Scunthorpe from 12 yards before Paddy Madden intercepted a backpass to net his 19th goal of the season for the visitors. However, Akpa Akpro's cross from the left drifted in after Daniels was distracted by Andy Mangan. His first League One goal in almost six months stretched Shrewsbury's unbeaten league run to seven games, nine points clear of the relegation zone while Scunthorpe drop to 13th. Shrewsbury Town manager Micky Mellon told BBC Radio Shropshire: "You have to say the result is frustration and relief for us. The players have rallied. It was a fantastic fightback from the lads. We have shown different qualities yet again. "We didn't keep the ball in the second half and too many 50-50 decisions went against us from the referee. It was just foul after foul and that made it difficult for us. "It's a big result for us and we have to work very hard to get results. We have to respect the point, but this is a massive learning curve and the future is looking good for this football club. "We have battled on and we have picked up a really useful point against a very good side." Scunthorpe United manager Nick Daws told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "To concede in the 95th minute is always disappointing but that's how long the game lasts. I certainly wouldn't have argued if we had scored in that time. "We're frustrated and disappointed but it just goes to show you can't switch off and you can't allow opportunities into your area and not keep clean sheets all the time. "It's another point to the tally, keeps the unbeaten run going, one defeat in 10, and we've got work to do from now and working towards next week against Chesterfield. "It was unfortunate but the effort in the second half to get back in the game was exactly what we asked for and exactly what we expected." Mervyn Jones was an assistant chief constable at West Midlands Police whose team supported the public inquiry. Mr Jones said he did not know officers' statements had been changed until a week after the inquiry began. A detective said he was told to remove criticism of South Yorkshire Police. Ninety-six Liverpool fans were fatally crushed in the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield on 15 April 1989. The following week the government announced a public inquiry into the disaster, chaired by Lord Justice Taylor. It asked West Midlands Police to run the investigation. Mr Jones led the police inquiry team, which at its height had 432 officers working on it. South Yorkshire Police (SYP) asked its officers to write self-taken accounts of what they had experienced on the day, which they expected would remain confidential and only be seen by its legal team. But Mr Jones asked for the recollections to be sent to his team to avoid the need to interview hundreds of officers who had been involved. The jury at the new inquests in Warrington, Cheshire, has heard how SYP had the statements reviewed by lawyers and amended by a police team before sending them off to the West Midlands team. Mr Jones told the court the first he heard about that process was on 23 May 1989, around a week after the public inquiry had started to hear evidence. A detective reported to him that he had received an anonymous phone call from someone claiming to be an SYP officer. The caller told the detective that his statement had been "altered during the vetting procedure" and he and some of his colleagues were concerned at what was happening. Mr Jones told the jury: "I was extremely disturbed. As I recall... I went to see Andrew Collins QC [counsel to the Taylor Inquiry] and others, to acquaint them with what had been said. "I was extremely concerned that this was something that I thought was inappropriate and should not be taking place." Mr Jones said inquiry lawyers were "quite relaxed" about what he told them of the anonymous call. The accounts officers had given were "not statements under caution", he said, and the lawyers told him "what matters is what will be said in the hearings before Lord Justice Taylor". He added: "I don't think there was any feeling that there was a potential miscarriage of justice going on at that point because they were recollections that were being presented, not statements of witnesses." Mr Jones also said he had a conversation with South Yorkshire's chief constable Peter Wright about the phone call. Mr Wright, he said, was "short to the point of being abrupt" and was "not in the mood to discuss it any further". A letter that Mr Jones wrote to Mr Wright about it went unanswered. The jury also heard how the officer who had reported the anonymous phone call to Mr Jones wrote in a memo he had told the caller that the review and amendment of SYP statements was an "accepted procedure". Mr Jones said "that was not the policy of West Midlands Police in relation to South Yorkshire Police" and that it was not an explanation "I would have expected he would have made". Former Det Ch Insp Alan Foster, who was working in SYP headquarters in April and May 1989, also gave evidence. Ch Supt Don Denton asked him to join the team amending the accounts. In his police statement Mr Foster recalled being shown a document outlining police legal advice. He said that the document listed the "features" which were "non-evidential", including "officers' opinions, speculations, expressions of emotions and personal feelings, and criticisms of individual senior officers and the police organisation". Nick Brown, a barrister representing 75 of the families whose relatives died in the disaster, asked: "As far as you understood them, your instructions were to remove anything from those accounts which amounted to criticism of individual senior officers or of the police organisation - the police and the policing generally at Hillsborough - correct?" Mr Foster said: "All I was trying to do was accord with the legal advice I was given." The inquests are due to resume on Tuesday BBC News: Profiles of all those who died Stephen Yabsley, 53, was arrested after the attack in Kingsbridge, Devon, in May. The two Devon and Cornwall Police officers were left with arm injuries when they responded to reports in Retreat Close of a man making threats. Both officers required surgery but the injuries were described by police as non-life-threatening. During the attack, a stand-off lasted for about four hours before Yabsley was arrested. Yabsley, who is in custody and had been facing attempted murder charges, also admitted one count of affray. He is due to be sentenced at Plymouth Crown Court on 10 December. The drugs were recovered in the north-western Galicia region, and are thought to have been be bound for a smuggling ring in the southern Costa Del Sol. It is the largest seizure in the region for 17 years, police said. Spain is a major entry point into Europe for drug smugglers from South America. Giving details on the latest raid, police said "12 people were detained including those transporting the merchandise, who were Spanish, and the sellers and buyers of the drugs, who were Dutch and British respectively". Of those arrested eight are Britons, the Sun newspaper reported. Last month Spanish police discovered more than a tonne of cocaine disguised as wood and charcoal arriving on a shipment from Colombia. In November, they announced the arrest of British man Robert Dawes, accused of running Europe's largest drug-trafficking network. "If I only ever did one [programme], it would be that one," she told the Radio Times, calling the 90-year-old nature broadcaster "a total, pure highlight". Young admitted she had fallen "a little bit in love" with Sir David during his fourth appearance on the show in 2012. First aired in January 1942, the show marks its 75th anniversary on Sunday. Former England captain David Beckham will be marooned on the show's imaginary desert island in this weekend's edition. More than 3,000 guests have been on the show since it was first broadcast on 29 January 75 years ago. Young revealed the show takes pains to put its guests at ease as they name the records they would take with them were they ever to become castaways. They included ensuring a bottle of vodka was on hand when former Smiths frontman Morrissey appeared on the programme in 2009. "We had it on good authority that Morrissey drinks neat vodka, so we made sure we had a bottle," Young revealed. The broadcaster said she had a shot of vodka poured for her when the singer requested one - though she did not actually drink it. She also said she wore "an open-neck silk ladies' shirt" when tech billionaire Bill Gates was on the show, as he "always wears an open-neck shirt". "I try and make my castaway at ease," continued the 48-year-old. "Once people relax, they're more likely to open up." Research conducted by the Radio Times shows that pop has overtaken classical music as its guests' most chosen genre. Where 56% of the playlist was classical in 1942, the percentage was only 21% in 2016. Pop, in contrast, made up 28% of the records chosen by that year's castaways. Last year, for the first time, the Beatles became the band most chosen by the programme's celebrity guests. Sir David first appeared on Desert Island Discs in 1957 when it was hosted by Roy Plomley. The veteran broadcaster went on to be a castaway again in 1979 and 1998 before joining Young in January 2012. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Paul Costa, from Falkirk, produced and supplied the drug from more than 100 plants grown at the Emotion Karting centre in Ayr between 2013 and 2015. The 35-year-old was caught after police raided the site and found high powered lamps and other "gardening equipment". He was convicted following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow and will be sentenced next months. The court heard that the large crop of cannabis plants had a value of up to £100,000. Costa had denied being responsible - despite police finding numerous cannabis related web searches on his computers. Police also found his fingerprints in the area where the drugs were and his DNA on a juice can. When they searched his computer, they also discovered a number of YouTube videos had been watched - including "how to properly dry cannabis". A leaflet for a hydroponics company was also seized. He claimed it was him who found the farm and was in the process of trying to catch the culprit when detectives raided the complex. However, jurors rejected that and convicted him of producing and supplying the drug between February 2013 and February 2015. The court heard Costa was effectively "second in command" at Emotion. His boss Manoj Deo had also faced the same allegations, but prosecutors dropped the accusations during the trial. The bodies of Julie Hill, 51, and her mother Rose, 75, were discovered at a property in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, at 22:10 GMT on Friday. Christopher Whelan, 20, will appear at Chesterfield Justice Centre on Tuesday charged with their murders. Julie Hill's dog, thought to be a terrier, is missing from the house, police say. Mr Whelan, of Dransfield Road, Sheffield, was arrested the day after the women's bodies were found by police and paramedics. Derbyshire Police said Julie Hill lived at the address in Station Road, while her mother lived in Sheffield. Anyone with any information, or anyone who knows the whereabouts of the dog, is asked to contact Derbyshire Police. The 1MDB fund was set up in 2009 to pay for major new economic and social developments in Malaysia. Last year, Swiss authorities opened an investigation into 1MDB after it amassed more than $11bn (£7bn) of debt. Switzerland's attorney general said on Friday there were "serious indications that funds have been misappropriated from Malaysian state companies". The full background to the 1MDB scandal Malaysia PM in the clear? Some of the money, the office of Michael Lauber said, had been transferred to Swiss accounts held by Malaysian former public officials and current and former public officials from the United Arab Emirates. "To date, however, the Malaysian companies concerned have made no comment on the losses they are believed to have incurred," the attorney general's statement said (in German). Mr Lauber called on Malaysian authorities to give full judicial assistance to their Swiss counterparts. A Swiss investigation into 1MDB was opened last year, citing "suspected corruption of public foreign officials, dishonest management of public interests and money laundering". In a statement on Saturday, 1MDB said it "remains committed to fully co-operating with any lawful authority and investigation", but had not yet heard from any foreign legal authorities. Regulators in the US and Hong Kong are also reported to be investigating 1MDB. The fund's advisory board is chaired by Prime Minister Najib Razak, who launched 1MDB soon after taking office in 2009. Last July, Malaysia's then-Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail linked a donation of $681m (£478m) made to Mr Najib's account with companies and bodies which had ties to 1MDB. Mr Patail was replaced, and, after an investigation, his successor last week cleared Mr Najib of corruption saying that the money was a personal donation by the Saudi royal family to the prime minister's private bank account. "I am satisfied that there is no evidence to show that the donation was a form of gratification given corruptly," said Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali. Most of the money was later returned, he said. Malaysia's anti-corruption commission said it would seek a review of the attorney-general's decision. It follows a joint inspection of services by the Care Inspectorate and Healthcare Improvement Scotland. It looked at how well health and social work services by the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership delivered personal outcomes for older people. Across nine "quality indicators", four were found to be "adequate", four were "weak" and one was "unsatisfactory". Inspectors looked at how services work together to deliver services to older people, and how far they help people to be independent, safe, as healthy as possible and have a good sense of wellbeing. Inspectors said the way services supported people was "very complicated" which "staff and older people struggled to understand and navigate". Performance against some national indicators, for example how quickly people ready to leave hospital can do so, was poor, although new teams had been introduced to assess people's needs and support them better. Inspectors found that when people received services, they were generally of good quality and made a positive difference. But too many older people and carers were unable to get help until their needs became critical. Although inspectors found ambitious plans in place to improve the experience for older people, they said there was "substantial work to do to improve access to services. It was not uncommon for older people to wait for lengthy periods before getting the support they needed. They added: "There were weaknesses in the ways older people had their needs assessed and in the way their care was planned." Inspectors said the ways in which adults at risk of harm were protected needed to improve significantly. The report makes 17 recommendations. Rob McCulloch-Graham, Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership's chief officer, said: "We accept the contents of the report, but also acknowledge the inspection was carried out just prior to the partnership completely reorganising its services based on four localities across Edinburgh. "Many of the concerns highlighted within the report had been previously identified by the partnership and work was already being progressed to address through the partnership. "After the preliminary inspection results, we established an improvement team which has already produced positive results, almost halving the number of people waiting for care within their homes and reducing hospital waiting times by around 20%. "This report pulls no punches and there are clear lessons to be learned." Karen Reid, chief executive of the Care Inspectorate said: "This report lays out clearly what is working well and what needs to improve. "Where older people and carers did receive services, these were generally of good quality and made a difference. "However, older people are not getting the right support at the right time, delivered by the right people. "We know new strategies are being put in place to help people leave hospital more quickly, but the partnership needs to support older people much earlier on, preventing them having to go into hospital wherever possible. "The leadership team must plan and deliver services in an integrated way, ensuring people's needs are understood early and met well." Robbie Pearson, chief executive of Healthcare Improvement Scotland said: "Although the partnership achieved good outcomes for some older people and their carers, too many people had poor experiences and poor outcomes. "The partnership needs to strengthen care at home. Our inspectors found examples of older people being admitted to hospital because their carer was unable to continue caring, when they could have been supported to stay living at home. "We now require an action plan detailing how the partnership will take the necessary steps to improve experiences for people. We will continue to work with them to sustain and embed improvement and will return to the partnership in 12 months to review progress." Up to 4,500 other rank and file soldiers could be dismissed, they say. A Nigerian military source confirmed the dismissals to the BBC, but would not give an exact figure. The army was widely criticised when the Islamist group Boko Haram captured vast areas in the country's north-east last year, despite a military emergency. The Nigerian army, with military backing from Chad, Cameroon and Niger, has now recaptured most of the area in the north-east which the group had seized, but sporadic attacks and violence have continued. Africa news updates Why Boko Haram remains a threat Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists? Many of the dismissals are thought to be connected to the fall of Mubi, the second largest town in Adamawa state, one of three states under the state of emergency. Boko Haram insurgents captured the town in October after clashes with government forces. One of the soldiers who has been dismissed, and was present at the fall of Mubi, told the BBC Hausa service that soldiers were simply following orders from their commanders, who had told them to retreat from the town because they lacked adequate weapons to take on the militants. "We weren't given an opportunity to defend ourselves. I've spent 20 years in the service of the Nigerian army, I've never been accused of any offence," said the soldier, who did not want to be named. It is expected that the soldiers who have been dismissed will not receive any extra payment or pensions because of their low rank and are not entitled to defend themselves in a military court, the BBC Hausa's Bashir Sa'ad Abdullahi reports from the capital, Abuja. A military official, who did not want to be named, told the BBC that video footage taken during the fall of Mubi showed soldiers fleeing Boko Haram, providing proof of their cowardice. Nigeria's incoming President Muhammadu Buhari may review the death sentences of 66 soldiers separately convicted for refusing to fight Boko Haram, according to their lawyer. About 1.5 million people have been displaced and hundreds more abducted since the group launched their violent uprising in 2009. More than 15,500 people have been killed in the fighting. The group is still holding many women, girls and children captives including 219 schools girls it kidnapped from a school in Chibok in April last year. The chancellor's friend, MP Stephen Hammond, said Mr Hammond planned to set out an "intellectual framework" to bring the economy back to surplus. But this would not be achieved until the economy has been stabilised after the uncertainty of the Brexit vote. The Autumn Statement is on Wednesday. Stephen Hammond said the chancellor would use his more flexible approach to allow for some extra spending on infrastructure. But this will be targeted to ensure it produces a return. Stephen Hammond added that he expected the chancellor to deliver a "steady-as-she-goes" Autumn Statement with no rabbits out of the hat in the style of his predecessor and Gordon Brown. The chancellor wants the Autumn Statement to return to its original purpose as the lower profile of the two "fiscal events" of the year with major tax changes left to the budget in the spring. The Treasury prompted speculation over the summer that it would adopt a looser fiscal policy - covering tax and spending - when the chancellor formally endorsed one of Theresa May's main pledges in the brief Conservative leadership contest. This was to abandon George Osborne's target of achieving an overall budget surplus by the time of the next election in 2020. This would mean that public spending would no longer outstrip incoming revenue. In his BBC Newsnight interview, Stephen Hammond said the chancellor will make clear in his Autumn Statement that he is still committed to achieving fiscal discipline and to achieving a surplus. But he will avoid setting a specific target date. The former transport minister, who has known his namesake for 25 years but is unrelated to the chancellor, told Newsnight: "I think the Autumn Statement will see him reacting to the events, suggesting that some of the tight targets set out by George which looked feasible at the time, to be fair, now must be more uncertain because of the progress of the economy. "But intellectually the framework remains the same - that we intend to achieve a fiscal surplus within the life of the next parliament." Stephen Hammond said that the chancellor believes it is right to adopt a more flexible approach to give the Treasury and the Office for Budget Responsibility time to assess the extent of the impact of the economy EU referendum. He said: "We live in very uncertain economic times. The fact that two or three months of relatively good economic news has come through does not mean by any means this economy is going have an easy ride after Brexit. "So I think his statement about looking at the surplus targets and softening slightly them reflects that there is still quite a lot of uncertainty about the progress of the economy. "But underlying that you will see Philip put in place fiscal disciplines that do ensure the economy comes back to surplus." The chancellor is also expected to make clear next week that he sanctions a mild loosening of the purse strings to allow for infrastructure spending which could include so-called infrastructure bonds. But this will be within a strict fiscal framework. Stephen Hammond said: "Anyone who thinks Philip Hammond is going to be Keynes has probably misunderstood his economic philosophy. "But what it will be is accepting that there are things the government can and should do to ensure the economy continues to prosper in difficult times. "Some of that is slowing down a little bit on fiscal discipline. But it means ensuring that the progress to budget surplus is still there. "Some of it is ensuring that the projects you spend are there and can generate jobs but there is value for money and its proven business case." The Autumn Statement will mark a departure from the approach taken by George Osborne in another key area - the chancellor will adopt a steady-as-she-goes approach. There may be some modest measures, possibly a freeze in fuel duty and measures to encourage saving, aimed at the key group of voters identified by Downing Street - the so-called Just About Managing people (JAMs). But major tax changes will have to wait until the Budget. Nicholas Watt is political editor for BBC Newsnight - more on this story on the programme at 22:30 GMT on BBC Two Economists had predicted the US Labor Department would report an increase of about 180,000 new jobs. However, the unemployment rate fell to 6.6%, the lowest level since October 2008. The jobless figures will raise concerns that, after strong growth in the second half of 2013, the US economic recovery is beginning to lose its steam. US stock markets shrugged off the news - with shares on Wall Street rising in early trading. By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service Economics correspondent A disappointment but not a disaster, was how one American economist put it. 113,000 is certainly rather disappointing. The workforce and the population in the US are growing so the economy needs to add new jobs to keep up. How many is uncertain, but the most recent figure is in the range of economists' estimates. In short, the US could do with faster job creation to get unemployment down and entice back the people who have given up looking for work. Those people are not counted as unemployed. For sure, the unemployment rate is a lot better than in the dark days of the recession: 6.6% of the workforce now down from a peak of 10% in 2009. But here's another important figure, the percentage of the population (over 16 years old) in work: between 62% and 63.4% in the years before the crisis, but below 59% now. Getting America back to work is unfinished business. The unemployment rate is calculated from a different survey to the jobs figure - known as non-farm payrolls. The rate is based on a survey of households, while the jobs figure is based on a survey of employers. December's surprisingly weak payrolls figure was revised up only modestly to 75,000, from 74,000. The construction industry, most vulnerable to the impact of bad weather, added 48,000 jobs in January, indicating that while the weather may have been responsible for December's weak figures, it does not appear to have been a factor in January. Manufacturing hiring also picked up, adding 21,000 jobs. Another positive factor from the report was that more Americans started looking for, and found, work. But there were declines in hiring in retail, utilities, government, and education and health employment. Earlier this week, an unexpectedly weak manufacturing report raised concerns about the strength of the US economy and sent the Dow Jones tumbling by 326 points. However, analysts were not too despondent about the latest numbers. "We think the employment market is improving, but will do so in fits and starts," said David Carter from Lenox Wealth Advisors immediately after the numbers were released. "Today, the ugly headline number will negatively impact markets, but there are enough positive indications that ultimately the market will move higher over time." Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business, said: "It is an improvement but a number this soft does feed worries about slowing US growth. The report fans uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's next move. "Anyone looking for an alibi can point to the weather; it does not derail hopes of faster US growth and further Fed tapering," he added. But one of the members of the Federal Reserve, Richard Fisher, told the broadcaster CNBC that the bank wouldn't be swayed by one month's numbers, blaming the weather for the weak report. "I will say this about the rest of our committee, they are not swayed by a single number. They are thoughtful people," he said. The US Federal Reserve has started withdrawing its extra support from the economy - a process known as tapering - after judging that the economy was improving, citing stronger jobs growth as one of the factors. The central bank had been spending $85bn a month buying bonds, but has now reduced that to $65bn a month. The unemployment rate is now very close to 6.5% - the level at which the Fed said it would start to consider an increase in interest rates, although most analysts agree a rate rise is still a long way off. It ruled that the bill was passed by MPs in December without the requisite quorum and was therefore illegal. Homosexual acts were already illegal, but the new law allowed for life imprisonment for "aggravated homosexuality" and banned the "promotion of homosexuality". Several donors have cut aid to Uganda since the law was adopted. Ugandan government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo said the government was still waiting the attorney general's advice about whether to challenge the ruling in the Supreme Court. He added that the ruling showed to Western donors that Uganda's democracy was functioning very well and that they should reinstate any aid they had cut. The Ugandan authorities have defended the law in the past, saying President Yoweri Museveni wanted "to demonstrate Uganda's independence in the face of Western pressure and provocation". Uganda is a deeply conservative society where many people oppose gay rights and the sentence for homosexual acts has always been life imprisonment. Earlier drafts of the anti-homosexuality act made it a crime not to report gay people - which would have made it impossible to live as openly gay - but this clause was removed. However the legislation that was passed in parliament was "null and void", the presiding judge at the Constitutional Court said, as not enough lawmakers had been present to vote on the bill. The law, which was signed by President Museveni in February, toughened up existing laws. Lesbians were covered for the first time and those found living in a same-sex marriage could have been sentenced to life imprisonment. The challenge to the law was brought by 10 petitioners, including academics, journalists, both ruling and opposition MPs, human rights activists and rights groups. "The retrogressive anti-homosexuality act of Uganda has been struck down by the constitutional court - it's now dead as a door nail," the AFP news agency quotes prominent journalist Andrew Mwenda, one of the petitioners, as saying. The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the capital, Kampala, says supporters of the anti-gay laws have been angered by the ruling of the five judges. They wonder whether their decision has anything to do with the president's visit to Washington next week for the US-Africa Summit, she says. In June, the US imposed sanctions on the East African nation, including travel restrictions on Ugandan officials involved in serious human rights abuses. The White House also cut funds to a number of programmes it is running with the Ugandan authorities. Several European nations - including Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden - had earlier cut aid. Pastor Martin Ssempa, a vocal backer of the anti-homosexuality legislation, told the BBC his supporters would be asking parliament to investigate the impartiality of the judiciary. Our reporter says if the state does not challenge the ruling it could re-table the bill in parliament where the ruling National Resistance Movement holds the majority in the house. What's more, Mr Bush could be creating the equivalent of a campaign finance battleship that lasts beyond this particular election - or uses its prodigious weapons in support of another candidate, if Mr Bush were to get knocked out of the race early. According to multiple press reports, the former Florida governor will fund the bulk of his campaign infrastructure - television advertising buys, opposition research, voter outreach, position papers - through Right to Rise, the political action committee that will exist independent of his formal campaign apparatus. The reason for this is that "official" campaigns are limited in the amount of money they can raise. So-called "super Pacs", on the other hand, can amass unlimited amounts from corporations, unions and individual donors with the deepest of pockets.* There's a drawback to all of this, of course. Technically, super Pacs like Right to Rise must operate independently of presidential candidates. Any co-ordination between the campaign and a Pac is illegal. Defining co-ordination, however, can be tricky. If Candidate X's team announces publicly that it'd really like to have television advertising in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, and X's super Pac starts running spots the following day … well, that's all just a legally permissible coincidence, right? Another convenient loophole is that, until candidates officially announce, they can work with whatever super Pac they want. Mr Bush is far from alone in setting up these Pacs. Virtually every major candidate, and even most minor ones, have established something similar - with varying levels of funding success. Mr Bush is, however, leading the Pac pack, with an estimated $100m in the bank. And it's Mr Bush and his supporters who are currently pushing the envelope in exactly how much of its campaign operations can be handled externally. Overlooked in all of this talk of a Bush juggernaut, however, is the possibility that Mr Bush's prodigious independent political treasury could outlive his candidacy. Last week was rough on the nascent Bush campaign, with the candidate repeatedly stumbling on questions of whether the Iraq War was a mistake. Mr Bush, at best, appeared a bit rusty on the stump. Others argue that his ties to George W Bush, his presidential sibling, will create an open wound on his candidacy. Mr Bush continues to show weakness in his poll standings, as well. He trails or is effectively tied in many early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire and is among a handful of candidates jostling for top tier status in national polls. There's the not insignificant possibility, then, that Mr Bush's candidacy could falter. As the old sales parable goes, no matter how you package it, sometimes the dogs just don't like the dog food. Republican voters might never warm to the Florida governor, no matter how much he spends. If that's the case, Mr Bush could get knocked out of the race but still have tens of millions of dollars (or more!) in his Pac. And the thing about an "independent" Pac is, if Mr Bush is done, that money could go just about anywhere, says Larry Noble, senior counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a public interest watchdog group. "He could pretty much do anything he wants with it," says Noble, whose group has filed a federal complaint over the legality of Mr Bush's co-ordination with his super-Pac during his "non-candidacy" period. "He could turn it into a non-profit or keep it going as a super-Pac to keep his name in play." About the only thing Mr Bush couldn't do, Moble says, is give the money directly to a political campaign. But Right to Rise could certainly partake in the same sort of "uncoordinated" support for someone else as it had been designed to provide for candidate Bush. What if, for instance, fellow Floridian Marco Rubio were the fortunate beneficiary? He was, after all, Mr Bush's supposed protege in the Florida legislature, a man he helped support as speaker of the state House of Representatives. Sealing the Republican nomination for Mr Rubio might not be a bad Plan B for ex-candidate Bush. Mr Bush could, in effect, become a Republican kingmaker surpassing even billionaires like the Koch brothers and Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who are already being relentlessly courted by presidential suitors. Once upon a time, in the not-too-distant political past, the endorsement of a defeated candidate was largely symbolic. Even when, say, John Edwards backed 2008 Democratic winner Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton early in the primary season, there were no guarantees his voters would follow his lead. And any delegates a candidate accrued through primary victories were usually released to vote their conscience. An endorsement did bring the possibility of campaign infrastructure - strategists and grass-roots organisers - going to the receiving candidate, which could prove handy down the road. But if anything, ex-candidates were a fund-raising drag, as they often would condition their support future on assistance in retiring their campaign debt. Now, however, an endorsement could come with a financial windfall, making it all the more valuable. Want a choice appointment in a Scott Walker administration? Mr Bush may have millions of reasons why he'd make a good pick. Then again, says Noble, Mr Bush could decide to sit on most of the money, saving it for another day and another campaign. The former governor is only 62 years old. There might be another play for the presidency or some other political office in the cards. "For the most part, these people are very reluctant to give up control over their money that could be used to help them," Noble says. "Because it really could be a formidable war chest in the future." And then there's Mr Bush's son, George P Bush, who was just elected as Texas land commissioner and is considered a rising star in the state's Republican circles. He's even helped fundraise for his father's super Pac. Someday, a well-heeled Right to Rise committee could be used to "independently" advance his career - a political trust fund, as it were. That's all part of the brave new world of 2016 campaign finance. The race is becoming as much a contest of committees as it is a battle between actual flesh and blood candidates. And no matter which individual politician ends up winning or losing, the committees likely will keep chugging along - an enduring legacy to a candidate, or even a candidate's heirs. There are only winners where big money is concerned. (*An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that super Pacs are not bound by federal disclosure requirements imposed on traditional campaign donations. They are. Jeb Bush has a separate organisation, Right to Rise Policy Solutions, classified as a "social welfare" non-profit. It employs several of his advisors and does not have to disclose its donors.) 1 June 2017 Last updated at 12:56 BST Although kids aren't able to vote, the decisions made in the election will have a big impact on the lives of all children across the country.

The ambitious bid would see matches played on both sides of the Irish border, taking in both rugby union and gaelic games venues. Ireland has been mulling over the idea for over a year, looking to replicate the successful 2011 New Zealand event. Varadkar will seek approval from cabinet colleagues on Tuesday. "It's probably the biggest event a country like Ireland could do, we're too small for the Olympics and the Fifa World Cup and for that reason it would engender enormous national pride," Varadkar told an International Rugby Board conference. "The second thing is that even during the very difficult times of the Troubles, rugby in Ireland was a unifying sport. "For us in Ireland, it would just be a symbol of how far we've come from the bad times to the better times now." South Africa, hosts of the hugely symbolic 1995 rugby World Cup and 2010 soccer World Cup, have also indicated that they plan to make a bid. France, hosts as recently as 2007, have also expressed an interest in the 2023 edition. Dublin has been working with the Northern Ireland executive on the proposal and also has the backing of Ireland's Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), meaning it can use stadiums like the 82,300-capacity Croke Park. Alongside Croke Park, there are another 10 gaelic grounds as big or bigger than the second-largest rugby stadium in the country, Munster's Thomond Park, although many will need major renovation to stage an international tournament. In addition to Croke Park and Belfast's Casement Park, the other GAA grounds which would be part of the IRFU's bid are Pairc Ui Chaoimh, the Limerick Gaelic Grounds, Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney and Galway's Pearse Stadium. The GAA had to ask its members earlier this year to allow the stadiums to be opened up to other sports which it had previously done eight years ago. In 2005 the GAA changed its rules to permit rugby and soccer to be played at Croke Park while the old Lansdowne Road was being upgraded. Varadkar said it could potentially boost the ailing economy by as much as 800 million euros ($1.1 billion) with hundreds of thousands of fans coming to the country. The World Cup will be hosted by England in 2015 and then Japan in 2019, the first time the tournament will be staged outside either Europe or the southern hemisphere powerhouses of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. "We see this is as having great potential for Ireland as an island and for the sport itself," said Irish Rugby Football Union Chief Executive Philip Browne, who has been working on the bid since 2011 alongside the two governments.

Ireland will consider launching a bid to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup this week, the country's sports minister Leo Varadkar confirmed on Monday.

Ministers will carry out new work on the environmental and health implications of the controversial gas drilling technique. Full control over fracking is due to be devolved to Scotland after May's general election. In the meantime, consent for unconventional oil and gas developments will be refused on planning grounds. The announcement by Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing came a day after the boss of the Grangemouth chemical plant said the UK must embrace shale gas. Tom Crotty, from Ineos, said high energy prices were damaging the industrial sector. Find out more.... UKOOG, which represents the onshore oil and gas industry, said the sector would boost Scotland's economy. But environmental group WWF Scotland said fracking, where gas is extracted from rock, should be ruled out completely. In the US, extensive use of the process has revolutionised the energy industry. But opponents have said it causes earthquakes, pollutes water supplies, and could lead to inappropriate development in the countryside. Mr Ewing said Holyrood ministers had taken a "cautious" approach to fracking, while the UK government had sought to develop it "quickly, at any cost". He announced: Mr Ewing told the Scottish Parliament that would all "take time", adding: "Given the importance of this work, it would be inappropriate to allow any planning consents in the meantime. "I'm therefore announcing today a moratorium on the granting of planning consents for all unconventional oil and gas developments, including fracking." Ken Cronin, chief executive of UKOOG, said Scotland faced having to import most of its gas from less stable countries in the coming years. He added: "Onshore gas and oil will benefit the Scottish economy, not only directly, with jobs created through oil and gas extraction, but also indirectly, as oil and gas is a critical raw material for the chemicals industry at facilities such as Grangemouth." But WWF Scotland director Lang Banks said: "There is overwhelming public opinion in favour of cleaner forms of energy and a sufficient body of evidence why unconventional oil and gas are neither good for people or the planet." Labour's Lewis Macdonald said his party had outlined a list of conditions in the UK parliament which would need to be met before fracking could take place, many of which fell under Scotland's responsibility. 'Political posturing' "The Scottish government needs to do much more if it is to meet public concern about this issue," Mr Macdonald said. Conservative MSP Murdo Fraser said the SNP government was more interested in "political posturing" than making decisions based on scientific evidence. He added: "The Scottish government would rather play politics than take decisions in the best interests of the Scottish economy." Liam McArthur, of the Liberal Democrats, said: "It's been fascinating to watch Labour and the SNP try to outdo each other in sounding sceptical about fracking, which they both support." Green MSP Alison Johnstone welcomed the Scottish government's move, but added: "A moratorium is only a delay or a suspension." On Monday, MPs overwhelmingly rejected a House of Commons amendment calling for a fracking moratorium by 308 votes to 52. The UK government has agreed to tighten the restrictions on where the process can take place, with an outright ban on the activity in national parks, sites of special interest and areas of national beauty. Full powers over fracking are to be devolved to the Scottish Parliament, after the Smith Commission on strengthening Holyrood recommended it should get control over onshore licensing and mineral access rights. A spokesman from the Department of Energy and Climate Change said: "Any decision on whether shale developments can occur in Scotland is and always has been a matter for the Scottish government. The Scottish government has substantial control of onshore oil and gas activities through planning controls and environmental regulation as these are devolved. "The government continues to carefully consider applications received as part of the 14th onshore licensing round. These include applications for licences in Scotland."

The Scottish government has announced a block on planned fracking operations, pending further inquiries.

Southern's 07:16 BST service from East Grinstead to London Bridge usually has more than double the passengers it was designed to carry. The Department for Transport (DfT) data showed 1,366 people typically crammed into 12 carriages designed for 640. The DfT said improvement works were under way as some customers had "not received the service they deserve". Lianna Etkind, of the Campaign for Better Transport, said: "Overcrowding continues to make passengers' lives a misery. "People are rightly angry they pay more in fares year after year, but never get a seat, and have to stand crammed into someone else's armpit. "With such high levels of overcrowding, the government cannot expect people to pay for yet another fares hike in January." Jacqueline Starr, managing director of customer experience at the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators and Network Rail, said they "understand passengers' frustration when they can't get a seat", but additional carriages cannot be added to the train. The DfT said when the Thameslink Programme is completed next year there will be extra services on routes south of London to boost capacity. A spokesman added: "Rail passenger journeys have more than doubled in the last 20 years. We are committed to improving journeys and we are delivering more trains, more seats and quicker journeys to meet this record demand. "We are investing £40bn in our railways and by the end of 2019 we will have more than 3,700 new carriages on the network. "We know some passengers have not received the service they deserve, and we continue to work with the industry to cut journey times and crowding, improve reliability and deliver more frequent services." The figures relate to standard class passengers on weekday services in autumn last year. A study found those that produced food were the ones most likely to deliver "win-win" scenarios. Urban green spaces managed by local people were more likely to be preserved for future generations, they added. The scientists have created an "allotment of the future" as part of Manchester's City of Science festival. "The production of food and the degree to which sites were cultivated for food was catalytic for the overall benefits from ecosystem services," explained Matthew Dennis from the University of Salford's Ecosystem and Environment Research Centre. "It was a nice way of looking at it, that the more effort to cultivate an area for food, the more overall benefits are gained from the site." Dr Dennis highlighted some of characteristics of successful "collectively managed spaces". "We are talking about have some sort of leadership, such as a community champion or a gatekeeper," he told BBC News. "Very often the sites are secure, they are established, and they have regular opening times. People then know that they can go there, be safe, and have a sense of ownership. "There have been examples of greening or growing things in much more public spaces - inside parks or on road verges for example - but they tend not to do very well as there is not that sense of ownership or place, the community is not able to get a sense of pride from it. "It is strange really because once you put a fence around something, give it a name and a shed, then it belongs to the community and it thrives. This is what I have found anecdotally rather than statistically." Research has shown that green urban sites such as allotments, community garden, or cemeteries, can make a major contribution to sustaining urban biodiversity. They offer insect-friendly habitats, which improves pollination for plant species, and attract predators such as birds etc. This biological diversity also makes the space more appealing for people, said Dr Dennis, and reinforces the value of the area to the wider community. Allotments have long been a part of the urban landscape, from wartime "dig for victory" campaigns to post-war austerity and rationing. The activity has seen a surge in recent years as people have looked to reconnect with their food. Many local authorities now have waiting list of people wanting to get their hands dirty. Since the UK's first city farm opened its gates in 1972, the movement has been growing steadily with more than 120 city and school farms, and in excess of 1,000 community gardens. These are ones listed by the charitable Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens. However, the emergence of urbanisation and a growing awareness of the merits of food and nutrition security has led to a new form of growth in the city. Another researcher from the University of Salford, Michael Hardman, is looking at the rise of urban agriculture - large-scale urban commercial farms. He said the development of urban agriculture was displaying the hallmarks of a movement that extended it beyond a "foodie fad". "Only a few years ago, you had people involved in allotments and community gardens but a lot of the projects that are starting now are more than just a fad or just for recreation, there are serious business models behind some of these," he told BBC News. "In Salford, they are building an urban farm in the middle of a huge regeneration development and that is going to have more of a commercial focus." Dr Hardman cited a string of other examples of commercial urban farm ventures in North-West England, ranging from Liverpool to Stockport. "It is almost becoming mainstream. We are seeing more and more local authorities, such as Brighton, buying into the idea and embedding it into the planning processes." Global estimates show that we now live in an urban world, with the majority of people living in cities rather than in rural locations. By the middle of this century, 60% of all humans are projected to call towns and cities home. This means that urban areas are going to have to play their part in terms of delivering food and nutrition security. However, Dr Hardman says there is no expectation that it will replace rural agriculture. "One of the main challenges is finance," he observed. "While it is relatively easy to set up a community garden or allotment, the large-scale urban agriculture - the things that make a real difference, such as urban farms or things that embrace the more technical aspects, funding is very scarce. "Our research has shown that a lot of the urban farming projects around the UK are relying on grants or they are working with charities, so they are always looking for the next application to put in a bid somewhere else. "Others are just self-funded, so they are relying on volunteers all the time. It is not a rosy picture at all at the moment. He suggested: "What we need is more businesses and more innovative people to get on board and push the practice forward as much as possible." As part of the City of Science festival in Manchester, researchers have been inviting people to consider how the "allotment of the future" will look. "We have got everything down there, from conventional growing all the way through to hydroponics, which are quite quirky systems that allows you to grow in smaller spaces," Dr Hardman explained, "as well as showing how it is possible to grow mushrooms in used coffee granules."

He was due to stand trial in August on five charges after downloading publications from so-called Islamic State. But police confirmed he pleaded guilty and was sentenced at the Old Bailey. Documents downloaded by Saunders on his phone included advice on carrying out lone attacks and detailed instructions on making improvised explosive devices. An investigation found he also carried out online research into knives and the manufacture of incendiary devices. Police said this gave them "a worrying indication of his mindset at that time" and they were concerned about "the potential direction of his behaviour". He was arrested in a joint investigation by the Yorkshire-based North East Counter Terrorism Unit and Wales' Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit. At London's Old Bailey, he pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. Assistant Chief Constable Jon Drake of South Wales Police said: "Extremism and radicalisation is something that we continue to be constantly vigilant about. "Saunders was arrested as part of a pre-planned and intelligence-led operation between counter terrorism officers here in Wales and in the north east and it is through this effective partnership working that he was apprehended, which prevented him going on to commit even more serious offences and putting the public in danger." The Moran Inquiry looked at the circumstances surrounding distribution of tickets for the 2016 games. The inquiry began last year following the arrest of Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) president Pat Hickey. The report said the seller appointed by the OCI, Pro 10, was not genuine and provided a "chaotic service". Led by retired judge Carroll Moran, the report also said the inquiry had been frustrated by a lack of co-operation from key players. Pro10 was appointed after another reseller, THG, was rejected by the Rio organising committee. THG was the authorised ticket reseller for the OCI at the Olympic Games at London in 2012 and Sochi in 2014; it was intended by Marcus Evans, who owned THG, and Mr Hickey that it would be the authorised ticket reseller again at Rio 2016. Marcus Evans is a businessman who, as part of the Marcus Evans Group, owns Ipswich Town Football Club. However, in May 2015, the Rio Organising Committee for the Olympic Games rejected the application of THG for this position. The Moran Report stated that Pro10 seemed to be little more than a cover for THG - and that Pro 10 was not fit for purpose. "It might appear that the appointment of Pro10 was to disguise the continuing involvement of Marcus Evans and THG in the sale of tickets in Ireland for the Rio Olympics," it said. "The invocation of the "right against self-incrimination" by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), THG, Pro10, and Mr Hickey created a major obstacle." "Failure by so many principal participants to engage with the inquiry has imposed a major impediment in the preparation of this report." The inquiry referred to a TV interview with Mr Hickey broadcast by RTÉ on August 11 2016, in which Mr Hickey said the OCI severed links with THG after the Sochi Games in 2014. Judge Moran said that Mr Hickey's account was "difficult to reconcile" given the volume of e-mails between Mr Evans and Mr Hickey which were seen by the inquiry. Judge Moran described Mr Hickey's presidency of the OCI as "autocratic" "His style of leadership was characterised by strong personal control over decision making. He did not seek the engagement of the executive committee in decision making," the judge said. "He presented the decision as a fait accompli. It was an autocratic style of leadership. "It allowed for a situation where there was an over dependence on the power of one individual, an unhealthy situation in any organisation." Brazilian authorities charged Mr Hickey with facilitating ticket touting, forming a cartel and illicit marketing. He denies the charges. A non-statutory inquiry into the issue was established last August, set up by Shane Ross, the Irish minister for transport, tourism and sport. Last week, Mr Ross said he could not comment on the report ahead of its publication. "I'd ask everybody to read it and make up their own mind and not depend upon the selective leaks that appeared in the newspapers," he said. A spokesman for the department said: "In the interests of due process, neither the department nor the ministers will be commenting on the detail of the Moran Inquiry Report, or any matter relating to the inquiry, until after the publication of the report." Europe started paying for the storage of pig meat in March after Russia banned EU food imports in response to sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine. It was intended to take surplus stock out of the market and stabilise prices. The Ulster Farmers' Union says the volume of meat in storage now equates to almost 800,000 pigs. That is about half of Northern Ireland's annual production. The UFU is worried about what will happen when the storage scheme ends and that meat comes back on the market in the summer. The union says a reduction of around a fifth in the price paid for pork since last June is already forcing some farmers in Northern Ireland out of business. Spokesman Jonny Cuddy said: "While there are many factors behind this fall in prices, the big problem is the imbalance in supply and demand as a result of the Russian trade embargo." He said Russia accounted for around a third of EU pigmeat exports and that trade had been shut down by the sanctions. Farmers are worried that the stocks of meat will be released during the summer, traditionally a time when prices rise due to demand for things like barbecues. If that happens they claim it could depress prices at what should be the most profitable time of the year for them. Ms Davenport, 54, has announced she will leave her role in April after four years in the job and over 30 years in the police service. She was appointed in 2013, becoming the first female to hold the top role within the Gloucestershire force. She said being chief constable had been "not only the highlight of my career but the greatest possible honour". Originally from North Yorkshire, Ms Davenport started her police service with West Mercia Police. After a short spell at the Home Office in 2005 she was appointed Assistant Chief Constable of Staffordshire Police, and in May 2007 transferred to the West Midlands where she led intelligence and neighbourhood policing. She has been the national lead for roads policing in England and Wales for eight years, was vice president of the British Association for Women in Policing (BAWP) and was awarded the Queen's Policing Medal in 2016. Nakhon Chompuchat, who is representing two Burmese men accused of the murder, said the victims' friends "should know many things" about what happened. The bodies of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found on a beach in Koh Tao on 15 September. Suspects Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, both 21, are awaiting trial for the killings amid criticism of the police case. The migrant workers from Myanmar - sometimes known as Burma - could face the death penalty if found guilty. BBC south-east Asia correspondent Jonathan Head said prosecutors were ready to put the men on trial, two months after their arrest. Under Thai law suspects can be held for a maximum of 91 days before facing formal charges. Our correspondent said: "Despite the claim by the Thai police that they have built a perfect case against the two Burmese defendants, the prosecutor has rejected the police dossier several times, saying it needed improving." Officers in the country have been accused of poor collection of evidence, reluctance to investigate influential families on Koh Tao and allegations they tortured the suspects to get confessions. Mr Chompuchat said he was appealing to any friends of Miss Witheridge, 23, from Hemsby or Mr Miller, 24, from Jersey, who may have information to come forward. "Their friends should know many things about this to prove the true situation," he said. But the lawyer claimed witnesses were scared to come forward, adding that he had also requested information from a British police team which travelled to Thailand to observe the investigation, and from the British pathologists who examined the bodies after they were repatriated. Post-mortem examinations found Mr Miller died from drowning and a blow to the head, while Miss Witheridge died from head wounds. The two men accused of the killing are also charged with conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to rape and robbery. Failure to seal off the crime scene after the killings and early claims by the police that no Thai person could have committed such a crime have attracted criticism. Mr Zaw's mother has said her son is being made a "scapegoat" by police and the case has been fixed. Media playback is not supported on this device "It's like shooting at a CD from the halfway line of a football pitch," she explains. "I love it because it's very ordered - there's a routine to it.

Mr Rennie claimed the nationalists were too focused on holding a second independence referendum. He also said the Conservatives had put the unity of the UK under strain with the EU referendum. Mr Rennie told delegates: "With the blow of Brexit and the threat of another Scottish independence referendum it means that divisive constitutional politics remain at the centre of our national debate. "It is a dismal scene that has been visited upon us by the Conservatives and the SNP. Stalled investment, uncertain future for EU citizens, divided families, split communities, economic instability, tensions between the nations of the UK. "This is the work of the terrible twins of divisive politics." Mr Rennie said the Liberal Democrats offered a "progressive, optimistic and outward looking" alternative. He pointed to recent election wins by his party in Fife, Edinburgh and the Northern Isles, telling delegates the Lib Dems were "tearing up the script". He added: "If we leave progressive politics to the SNP, then that will fail. "If we leave the campaign for Scotland's place in the United Kingdom to the Conservatives it will fail too. "That is why we need the Liberal Democrats." The 41-year-old American's arrest, combined with hours spent in the cells of Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, represents another low in his troubled life. This was someone who had it all. No-one has ever dominated golf in the way Woods did between 1997 and 2008, no-one has made more money out of the game. Back then, as a supremely gifted 32-year-old, he commanded the perfect profile with a beautiful young family. Sport's first billionaire seemed on course for golfing immortality as he stood just five majors short of the great Jack Nicklaus' record haul of 18. Then came his first brush with the law through the careless driving that sent his Cadillac Escalade into a water hydrant on Thanksgiving night in 2009. The fallout was devastating as it became apparent that he had been a serial adulterer. His marriage crumbled; his public image was left in tatters. Nevertheless, Woods carefully rebuilt his career and standing. Never again did he land a major but he climbed back to the top of the world rankings in 2013. Thereafter, it was his failing body that brought him down. In April, he had a fourth back operation having played only 10 tournaments in the past two years. Woods last blogged about his health on 24 May. He wrote that the surgery had relieved pain and that he hadn't "felt this good in years". He claimed the outlook for a return to competitive golf was "positive" but that he was not in a "hurry". "I want to play professional golf again but I'm not looking ahead," he said. "I can't twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals." Very few people have ever properly known what goes on in Woods' life. He jealously guards his privacy in his Florida home close to the Jupiter location where he was arrested. What is known is that he has already set his sights beyond his playing career with the launch of Tiger Woods Ventures, which operates under the label TGR. "TGR is my chapter two - my way of building a legacy that's about more than birdies and bogeys," he has said. Promoting the business project, his website states: "Led by Tiger's vision and inspired by his commitment to excellence on and off the golf course, TGR unites its namesake's ventures in a focused mindset, a precise method, and an ongoing pursuit of mastery. "Together, we're working to give everyone the opportunity to define excellence for themselves." It is a mission statement completely at odds with his current predicament. Corporate America tends to take a dim view of such misdemeanours. We wait to see how his golf sponsors will react. Long-term supporters Nike stood by the former world number one during his previous fall from grace and is likely to remain loyal. It is harder to judge whether Taylor Made - his club provider - will be as forgiving. Woods is supposed to be doing everything he can to regain the fitness to wield its products. Being arrested at 3am on a drink-driving charge does not fit with that programme. But Woods' challenge now is no longer just about returning to full physical fitness - indeed that may yet prove impossible. With this arrest, it is now about repairing an already reconstructed public image that will be so vital to his post-playing career. One look at that mugshot tells you how a big a test this is going to be. Community Housing Cymru (CHC) said it could affect their ability to borrow money and to build new homes. Ministers in Wales are looking into whether to change the law to resolve the issue. But the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said there is no impact on the borrowing constraints of the groups. At the moment not-for-profit housing associations are considered to be in the private sector and can borrow as much money as they can afford, within certain regulations. But CHC fears if finances were overseen by the UK Treasury the associations' levels of borrowing could be restricted, meaning they would not be able to built as many houses. Stuart Ropke, Chief Executive of CHC, said: "This may appear to a lot of people as an accounting exercise but the reality is that it could have serious consequences for housing associations and thousands of families on housing waiting lists who are in desperate need of somewhere to live." The Newport-based ONS said it had made the reclassification for housing associations in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland "purely for the purpose of economic statistics". "ONS uses agreed international rules to assess whether organisations should be classified to the public or private sector, based on whether government has control of, or liability for, the organisation in question," ONS head of public sector, Derek Bird, said. "This has no direct impact on the ownership, management structures or borrowing constraints of the organisations concerned. "It is for the devolved governments, rather than ONS, to consider the impact this classification decision may have on budgeting and fiscal management." CHC called on the Welsh Government to intervene so that Welsh housing associations can continue to behave like businesses. A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are exploring a legislative solution to the issue of reclassification, and housing associations can be confident that it will be resolved. "This means they will be able to continue to borrow from the private sector in order to help us achieve our target of 20,000 affordable homes in this Assembly term." Part of Wallasey in Merseyside was closed earlier as the procedure was carried out to help with the investigation. Father-of-two PC Phillips, 34, died on 5 October when he was hit by the vehicle. Clayton Williams, 18, has been charged with murder and a trial has been scheduled to take place in March 2016. He is also accused of attempting to wound another officer, aggravated theft of a motor vehicle and burglary. The Wallasey Docks Link Road was closed from 11:00 GMT from the M53 to the roundabout where Wallasey Bridge Road and Poulton Bridge Road begin. The roads were expected to reopen from about 12:00. Four other people have been charged with offences in connection with PC Phillips's death. Alexander Ciccolo, 23, has had history of mental illness and had recently become "obsessed with Islam," an acquaintance told the FBI. In Mr Ciccolo's apartment FBI agents found a pressure cooker, chemicals and "attack planning papers". Pressure-cooker bombs were used in the Boston marathon bombings that left three dead and dozen hurt. According to court records, Mr Ciccolo told the acquaintance he was "not afraid to die for the cause" and called Americans "disgusting". Mr Ciccolo came the FBI's attention after a Facebook profile connected to him praised Islamic State (IS) militants and he wrote that he wanted to fight for the group. An FBI informant later talked with Mr Ciccolo and learned he planned to carry out attacks on behalf of IS in multiple US states. He eventually decided to target universities, the FBI said. Mr Ciccolo had purchased bomb making materials, but also sought to acquire to guns to carry out his attack, the FBI said. Agents arrested Mr Ciccolo on 4 July after he tried to buy weapons from the informant. "The defendant ordered and took delivery of four firearms ... to use during his plan to kill innocent people," the Department of Justice said in a statement. Scarlett Worth, who is 11 years old, is nervous about the prospect of returning to Manchester after she witnessed the aftermath of the bomb that killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena on 22 May. Scarlett had attended the concert with three friends and their mums. "Ariana always makes me laugh, she's so confident. I loved hearing her play "One Last Time"," she said. But having been at the arena on the night of the attack when she first got back to her home town, Hartlepool, she cancelled her tickets to other concerts. Her mother Vicki explained: "She's definitely changed since then. She's walked around looking sad and quiet, when normally she's so bubbly." When she heard that Grande was holding a benefit concert on Sunday to raise funds for the victims of the attack, Vicki decided the sooner her daughter went back to a crowded and noisy place, the faster her recovery would be. "We were inside when the bomb went off. Scarlett told me she keeps hearing the noise now. We had an awful time," Vicki said. "We want to take the girls to show they don't need to be afraid. "Getting them out there will prove they can have a nice time again and get them over some of their fear," she explained. Scarlett and her friends decided to go. "We said 'let's be brave' - I thought it would make me feel not scared to do the things I love". Grande promised free tickets to the One Love Manchester show for all those who were at her concert. But after Vicki applied for seven tickets for the girls and their mums, she was told that a maximum of six would be issued. Then on Thursday evening, Vicki was told that she was entitled to three tickets only. Some people who bought tickets from online market sites or ticket touts faced issues around validating that they were the original purchasers. Ticketmaster reports that more than 10,000 people have falsely claimed they were at the scene of the attack in order to get free tickets. But Vicki bought their original tickets directly from Ticketmaster and says she applied well before the deadline for free tickets. On Saturday morning Vicki was told by Ticketmaster there were no free tickets left. Faced with choosing who to give tickets to and who to leave behind, Vicki decided it was fairer if none of the girls attended the concert. "It's just impossible for us to go now. None of us would leave anyone else out," she said. "This is going to knock them back again. "Scarlett's been sleeping in my bed since the attack, so it was great to see her a bit excited again. "We could have been part of something that would support everyone but now we can't go. "It's not fair to leave the girls in suspense. Scarlett cried when I told her we're probably not going." Other families are affected too. Lucie Wright, from Macclesfield, applied for eight tickets but has only received four. "It's frustrating that they put tickets up for sale before authenticating our claims. "My kids are greatly affected, this is needed to get them back to a concert. Will I have to pick which children can go?" she said. A spokesperson for Ticketmaster told the BBC: "Everyone who bought a ticket from Ticketmaster should get a ticket for the benefit concert. About 12,000 of 14,000 claims have been processed and people who have not yet received their tickets will definitely receive their tickets on Saturday". Steven Mcallister made his victims "carry out appalling acts through fear", police said. The 52-year-old was found guilty at Birmingham Crown Court of controlling prostitution for gain and controlling sexual exploitation of a child. Mcallister, of Cowles Croft in Yardley, was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years He was also be placed on the sex offenders register for life. Read more on this story and more from across Birmingham and Black Country West Midlands Police said Mcallister had targeted several girls and women aged between 17 and 21. He tried to ingratiate himself with local community groups in an effort to disguise his activities. But he was arrested in 2013 after some of the women spoke out. After the sentencing, Det Con Katrina Sands praised Mcallister's victims' "incredible bravery" for reporting the crimes. "This so-called community do-gooder controlled the girls by threatening to harm their families if they didn't do as he ordered," she said. "He subjected them to physical abuse, including punching and head-butting them, but worse was the shocking degrading sexual acts he made them perform on him." The boy - who cannot be named because of his age - is also charged with seven counts of attempted murder. Four people were killed and several injured after the shootings at La Loche Community School and another location. Friday's attack in the remote community was "every parent's worst nightmare", Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said. At a news conference on Saturday, Grant St Germaine from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the suspect would appear in court next week. "The days and weeks are going to be difficult as we come to terms with the impact of what has happened in our community," he said. "It's a sad and difficult time and no words will take away the pain and sorrow of what has happened." The RCMP said Dayne Fontaine, 17, and his brother Drayden, 13, were shot dead in a house. The gunman then went to the school, killing teacher Adam Wood, 35, and 21-year-old teaching assistant Marie Janvier. The suspect was later disarmed and arrested. The motive behind the shootings is unclear. Witnesses at the school described screaming and more than half a dozen shots. The RCMP said officers were called about "an active shooter" at 13:00 local time (19:00 GMT) and detained the suspect 45 minutes later. "Words cannot express my shock and sorrow at the horrific events today in La Loche," Brad Wall, the premier of Saskatchewan, said in a statement. About 900 students attend La Loche Community School for kindergarten through to grade 12 (the last year of secondary school). "I ran outside the school," Noel Desjarlais, a Grade 10 student, told CBC. "There was lots of screaming, there was about six, seven shots before I got outside. I believe there was more shots by the time I did get out." La Loche is a mainly aboriginal community of about 3,000 people. It is located nearly 900km (600 miles) north-west of the provincial capital, Regina.

Colombia v Ivory Coast, Group C (19 June, 17:00 BST) BBC Sport expert Mark Lawrenson: "Colombia were very impressive in their opening win over Greece, and they set a great tempo against potentially awkward opposition. Their preparation for this tournament must have been spot on. "These are the best two teams in the group and this has the feel of a game they might both be thinking it is important not to lose." Lawro's prediction: Colombia 1-1 Ivory Coast Uruguay v England, Group D (19 June, 20:00 BST) "Much has been made of the damage that Luis Suarez can do to England, but he has not played since 11 May and, although he might now be injury free, he can be nowhere near match fit. "I am backing England to win, and I don't think they have got to change too much from their defeat by Italy, although I would play Wayne Rooney in the number 10 position because you want his quality involved in crucial areas. "England need to switch on more when they don't have the ball but, against Italy, they played it around nicely, did not lump it and carried a real attacking threat. I still think they will get out of the group." Lawro's prediction: Uruguay 1-2 England Japan v Greece, Group C (19 June, 23:00 BST) "Greece did not look up to the task against Colombia and I have a feeling Japan will have too much energy for them as well. If Japan can cope with the physicality of the Greeks, then I think they will win." Lawro's prediction: Japan 1-0 Greece How to follow: Watch live on ITV, listen on BBC Radio 5 live, live text commentary on BBC Sport website. Wayne Rooney is under the World Cup microscope and on Thursday the eyes of a nation - if not the world - will be on the England striker. We say "striker", but much furore has surrounded Roy Hodgson's use of the Manchester United player on the left. Will he play? Where will he play? Former Three Lions frontman Alan Shearer and ex-England manager Graham Taylor say the 28-year-old should be deployed centrally, while his former team-mate Gary Neville believes Rooney will cope with the "drama" and criticism. In 93 international caps, Rooney has hit 39 goals. No-one in England's squad can rival the tally, and one more will make him the country's fourth-highest goalscorer of all time. Over to you, Wayne. No pressure. Daniel Sturridge may have scored his first World Cup goal against Italy, but in Diego Godin he will face arguably the stand-out defender of European football in the past 12 months. Godin, leggy and uncompromising, could not have dreamt of winning a Spanish title when he left Villarreal for Atletico Madrid in 2010. But four years later, the 28-year-old has won La Liga, the Europa League and the Spanish Cup. Godin is no giant, but he is a threat in the opposition's box, as he showed when heading home the goal that secured Atletico the league title this year. He will not relish the wriggling, speedy conundrum Sturridge presents, but the Liverpool striker will need to be at his best to get anything out of a player seemingly at his professional peak. England have never conceded two goals or more in three successive World Cup games before. They conceded two against Italy on Saturday and four against Germany when they were knocked out of the 2010 World Cup. England have scored in each of their past eight World Cup encounters with South American sides. Wayne Rooney is yet to score a World Cup goal. England's match with Uruguay will be his 10th game, if he plays. Ivory Coast have failed to score in only one of their seven World Cup games (0-0 v Portugal in 2006), but seven of their 11 goals in the competition have arrived after the 60th minute. Greece have failed to score in six of their seven World Cup games. Only against Nigeria in 2010 did they manage to find the net, with Dimitris Salpingidis and Vasilis Torosidis scoring in a 2-1 win. Keisuke Honda has been involved in four of Japan's past five goals at the World Cup (three goals, one assist). He is the country's top scorer in the competition (three goals). Greece have conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game at the World Cup, the highest ratio amongst the 32 teams involved in this tournament. Uruguay might not be fancied to reach the World Cup final in 2014, but they won the tournament the first time it was staged, in 1930. At home, in front of a crowd in the region of 100,000 at the Centario Stadium, they beat Argentina 4-2 in the final. After a pre-match row over which ball to use, it is believed the Argentine ball was used in one half and the Uruguayan ball in the other, leading some to say this was the source of the phrase "a game of two halves". Uruguay, who also won the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, drew with hosts and eventual winners England 0-0 in the 1966 World Cup opener. Sao Paulo - where Uruguay take on England - is Brazil's largest and most populous city. It is also the country's most diverse city, with more than 100 ethnic groups represented and the largest number of Japanese descendants outside of Japan. The city is home to some of the country's biggest companies, and to its main cultural and gastronomic scene. However, it also has some of the worst crime statistics in the country.

The prize has only been given out since the 2013-14 season, but five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi had not won any of the previous 22 awards. The Argentina skipper, 28, has finally claimed it after scoring six goals in five La Liga games in January. Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has won the award twice since it was introduced in September 2013. Atletico Madrid pair Diego Godin and Antoine Griezmann, along with Real Sociedad striker Carlos Vela, have also won it twice. Messi is only the second Barcelona player to win the award following Neymar's success in November. He scored a hat-trick against Granada, netting further goals against Athletic Bilbao, Malaga and Atletico Madrid, as La Liga leaders Barcelona won four of their five league matches in January. It sits 2,000ft up at the base of the ski-slope in the Cairngorm mountains. Almost a third of public payphones in Scotland have been earmarked for removal because fewer people are using them. BT said the traditional red phone box had been removed from its consultation process after concerns from the local community. Bill Lobban, vice convenor of Highland Council, said: "This is a very sensible decision by BT and follows pressure from the local community. "The box has been extensively used in the past and is essential for emergency use. "People claim when they come off of the hill that they have mobile phone service, but if they can't get a signal, it's important they have another option." A spokesman for BT told the BBC: "We listen carefully to any community concerns and have already, for example, removed from the consultation the payphone at the ski-slope in the Cairngorms. "Where concerns are raised to us through the local planning authority, we will not remove the payphone." BT is consulting on plans to remove about 1,500 phone boxes Scotland-wide. The firm said usage had declined by more than 90% over the last decade as the popularity of mobile phones surged. Of about 4,800 payphones in Scotland, fewer than five calls were made from 1,280 of them over the past year. Ash Carter told the BBC it was an "important part of the deterrent structure of Nato" and allowed the UK to punch above its weight. MPs are expected to vote this year on whether to back government plans to renew the UK's four Trident submarines. Labour is currently reviewing its support for the weapons. Renewing the Trident fleet, which is due to become obsolete by the end of the next decade, is estimated by the government to cost £31bn, although opponents claim the final bill will be far higher. Asked whether the UK should be investing in a new fleet of submarines amid stretched defence resources, Mr Carter replied unequivocally that it should. He said Trident aided the UK's "special relationship" with the US and helped it "continue to play that outsized role on the global stage that it does because of its moral standing and its historical standing". "It's important that the military power matches that standing and so we're very supportive of it," he said. Mr Carter said the UK and US each had independent authority to use Trident but were "dependent upon one another industrially". "We depend upon the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom depends on us, that's part of the special relationship," he told the BBC. "We build joint strike fighters together, we build Trident missiles together." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a longstanding opponent of nuclear weapons and has commissioned a review by shadow defence secretary Emily Thornberry. But some of the party's MPs and peers have threatened to resign if it reverses its decades-long support for the missiles. Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham, who backs renewal, recently indicated it may be "impossible" for Labour to reach an agreed position on Trident. The US defence secretary was asked about Ms Thornberry's suggestion that underwater drones could be able to detect submarines in future, making them vulnerable to attack and obsolete. Mr Carter, who this week attended a meeting with Nato defence ministers in Brussels, said the ability of submarines to "operate stealthily" was proven. "We are, in fact, making large investments in undersea forces because of their survive-ability, as well as their power," he said. 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. Four UK submarines carry up to eight Trident missiles; each can be fitted with a number of warheads. A guide to Trident and the debate about its replacement Ibrahim Afellay marked his 30th birthday by giving Mark Hughes' side a half-time lead as he headed in Marko Arnautovic's cross. Bojan Krkic doubled the lead early in the second half with a fine solo goal. But Sigurdsson pulled one back with a shot on the turn that wrong-footed keeper Jakob Haugaard, and Paloschi's deflected strike earned a point. Relive all the action from the Britannia Stadium here Follow all the reaction from Saturday's Premier League games It has not been a good few days for Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin, who has had to deal with widespread reports that Brendan Rodgers will return to the club to take his job at the end of the season. There was little sign that things were about to improve for Guidolin, as his side were second best for the first hour. However, two substitutions by Swansea's boss changed the game, with the lively Jefferson Montero causing all manner of problems down the left, and Paloschi snatching the equaliser. It was the Italian striker's second goal for the club since his £8m move from Chievo in January and, although it came with the aid of a deflection, it was no less sweet for that. There was a degree of sweet revenge on Hughes for Guidolin too. The Swansea coach's Vicenza side had been denied a place in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup by a dramatic goal by Hughes for Chelsea in 1998. This time, the Italian had the final word, and Swansea - who have reached 37 points - are surely safe from relegation. With Stoke's first-choice goalkeeper Jack Butland ruled out for the rest of the season - as well as Euro 2016 - after breaking his ankle on England duty seven days earlier, this was a chance for Jakob Haugaard to impress. The Dane, signed from Midtjylland last summer, made his Premier League debut, but did not have the most auspicious of afternoons. He flapped at one early corner, sending the ball high into the air with a punch that made next to no distance, and looked less than comfortable under pressure. Haugaard should really have kept out Sigurdsson's goal, which gave Swansea hope. The keeper may have been unsighted as the Iceland international turned to score from the edge of the penalty area, but the shot was well within his reach - and the scorer confirmed afterwards that it had not been deflected. Hughes has assembled a terrific squad at the Britannia Stadium; one that is well on course for their highest league finish since 1975 despite a raft of injuries. They have, though, developed a frustrating habit of slipping up just when their momentum looks set to carry them into contention for a place in Europe. Stoke lost to Southampton in their previous home game, when a win would have taken them to within a point of sixth place and, having won at Watford before the international break, they passed up another great chance to progress here. Afellay's opening goal was the least Stoke deserved for their first-half superiority and, when Bojan added a well-taken second by ending a mazy run with a precise low shot, the match should have been won. Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin: "I am very happy because it's not easy coming into the Premier League. I saw, for example, what happened to Remi Garde at Aston Villa. We are seeing it with Rafa Benitez at Newcastle. It is not easy for anyone in our job to come in during the season. Media playback is not supported on this device "I hope to see my team play well in the last weeks of the season. I saw my team play with solidarity and enthusiasm and collaboration and focus. This is an important message for us. I am very proud today." Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "I thought we were good value at 2-0. We created the vast majority of the chances up to that point and could have had more goals. Media playback is not supported on this device "But 2-0 isn't the easiest of leads to protect. Maybe we got defensive when they got the goal. They got the second goal from their second shot on target. One of Swansea's players was in an offside position for it, and we've been in to see the officials. But we don't get too many of those decisions." Stoke will attempt to revive their Europa League challenge when they visit Liverpool a week on Sunday (16:00 BST), the day after Swansea bid to reach the 40-point mark by beating Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium (15:00 BST). Former Chelsea head of scouting Congerton and Rodgers previously worked together at Stamford Bridge. The Welshman also worked as a coach with Liverpool and the Welsh FA and held director roles at Hamburg and Sunderland. "I have got a great relationship with Brendan," said Congerton. "He's worked for two of the biggest clubs in world football in my eyes - Liverpool and Celtic. "I am sure that he is going to have other opportunities to go other places but I hope, like myself, that he is here for many years to come." Congerton will head up recruitment of players and the scouting network, domestically and abroad. He described last summer's capture of Moussa Dembele as "a marvellous signing", with the 20-year-old Frenchman netting 32 goals since joining Celtic from Fulham, including three in the Champions League group stage. "Let's hope there's many more of those to come in the future," added Congerton. "There's a lot to offer a young player here. "Our priority is Scotland and Glasgow. "You've always got to supplement that. We'll be looking everywhere. We have a network in place already. The guys have done great there and I will look to expand and add to that." Ireland's McKillop won his heat in 2:07.59 as he held off France's Louis Radius by 0.29 seconds. The overall heats standard suggests McKillop will face a battle to maintain an unbeaten Paralympic record which stretches back to 2006. Canada's Liam Stanley was the fastest qualifier with heat two in 2:05.89. Stanley, second behind McKillop in the 1500m at last year's Rio Paralympics, was expected to be the Glengormley athlete's main challenger in both the 800m and the metric mile at the championships. However, Tunisia's Abbes Saidi and heat three winner Australia's Deon Kenzie were also marginally faster than McKillop in the qualifying races in the London Stadium. Nevertheless defending champion McKillop, who has run under two minutes for 800m on numerous occasions in able-bodied competition, will still be a strong favourite in Sunday's final. McKillop and his Irish team-mate Jason Smyth will be expected to earn gold medals within 15 minutes of each other on Sunday evening. Smyth will compete in the T13 100m, final shortly before McKillop's race, providing he comes through Sunday mornings heats in the sprint. County Londonderry athlete Smyth, who turned 30 recently, has never been defeated during a Paralympic career which began in 2005. Both McKillop and Smyth will also defend their 1500m and 200m titles later in the championships. Meanwhile, Niamh McCarthy clinched Ireland's first medal of the championships as she took silver in the F41 discus final on Saturday morning. The Cork woman's medal matched her silver at last year's Paralympics in Rio and improved on the bronze she won in the World Championships in Doha two years ago. McCarthy, 23, produced a best throw of 26.17m in the fifth round. The recently-relegated club announced their intention to build in Cosgrove, Northamptonshire, last August. The new plans have been lodged with South Northamptonshire District Council and the club hopes to request planning permission later this year. A Facebook page has been set up by people opposing the plans. The campaign group says the proposals will "undoubtedly have huge consequences and impact" on the landscape. MK Dons said they had analysed comments made about the initial proposals and had looked to "incorporate those views in order to improve the project". They have pledged that a full consultation with local residents and "other stakeholders" would be carried out. South Northamptonshire District Council said it was not yet known if an environmental impact assessment (EIA) would have to be carried out. Owen and Karl Oyston sued supporter David Ragozzino over posts on a message board on Another View From the Tower. The posts included "lurid allegations of a sexual nature" and allegations of "fraudulent and corrupt behaviour", a High Court hearing was told. Judge Stephen Davies ruled the claims were of a "defamatory nature". Mr Ragozzino was "passionately aggrieved" about the way the club had been run, the judge added. He had protested against them in person at matches and on the internet. The 32-year-old previously denied libelling the Oystons and was supported by dozens of Blackpool fans at an earlier court hearing. Judge Davies said Mr Ragozzino had "consented to judgement being entered against him". "They [the claimants] accept that Blackpool FC's supporters are entitled to express opinions about such matters, in vigorous terms if they so wish," the judge said. "All of the allegations of sexual misconduct are appalling and must be viewed as extremely serious. "The allegations of fraud and corruption against Karl Oyston are also extremely serious. "Both Owen Oyston and Karl Oyston are entitled to aggravated damages." Benjamin Waterfield, 17, died after Calvin McRobb, 20, lost control of his Citroen C2 on the A947 Dyce to Newmachar road in March last year. McRobb, of Cove, admitted causing his friend's death by driving carelessly. Sentence at Aberdeen Sheriff Court was deferred. "There is one common theme in all of these reforms. It's going to be America First," he said in a broad-ranging speech in New York. Here is his plan for the first 100 days: Mr Trump has pledged to appoint judges who will uphold the Constitution and thinks "radical" judges that could be appointed by Hillary Clinton would "virtually abolish" the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. There is a vacancy in the Supreme Court because former justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative, died earlier this year. Mr Trump has said undocumented immigrants in the US take jobs that US citizens could have. Controversially, he has also said repeatedly - although not in this speech - that he would build a wall on the southern border that Mexico would pay for, to stop Mexico's criminals and rapists from coming to the US. He also wants to ban Muslims from entering the country in an attempt to prevent terrorism, a move that has provoked fierce criticism from within his own party. Mr Trump has said there should be less regulation of energy production and that the US should drill more for oil and gas. He said the country's energy potential remains "untapped". Mr Trump has called Obamacare a disaster and that he pledges to repeal and replace it. He says it is a job-killer and ineffective. Obamacare, which is actually the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is President Barack Obama's signature law and aims to extend health insurance to those in the country that do not have it. He has threatened to raise taxes on US-based companies that have moved operations overseas, like Pfizer, Ford and Nabisco. He said lowering taxes for all - businesses and people - would create millions of new jobs. Mr Trump declared in his New York speech, wrongly, that the US has the highest taxes in the world. Politifact says it is actually ranked near the bottom among OECD countries. His tax plan would not raise taxes on the top earners in the US. He said Mrs Clinton ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund and that she is responsible for the death of American diplomats in Benghazi, and that she was a destabilising force in the Middle East. Mr Trump has also criticised her use of personal email while working as secretary of state. Mrs Clinton said the speech was "more hypocritical lies and nutty conspiracy theories". Trade deals with other countries are "killing" the country, he has said, and that he will defend the US against countries that "cheat" on trade like China. Reece Thompson gave the visitors a lifeline by tapping in at the back post after four minutes, but Richie Bennett headed Barrow back on level terms seven minutes later with his fifth goal in his last six games. The hosts seized control through a superb solo effort from Shaun Beeley, who weaved his way past two defenders on his way to lashing in from close range after 40 minutes, before Jordan Williams made it 3-1 two minutes before the break. North Ferriby, who missed a penalty through Connor Oliver late on, had needed to win all their remaining matches and hope other results went their way to avoid relegation.

A fabulous opening strike from Henri Anier - a former Motherwell player - ignited United hopes. They were doused, however, on the stroke of half time by an equaliser from Marvin Johnson. The same player set up Louis Moult to tap home a second-half winner, his 17th goal of the season. It leaves United isolated at the bottom of the Premiership with Kilmarnock still eight points ahead of them with nine games remaining. United had yet more goalkeeping bad luck inflicted upon them. After the loss of Eiji Kawashima, his replacement Lius Zwick failed to recover from an injury sustained in training and Mixu Paatelainen had to turn to Michal Szromnik. And just to make things interesting the manager made two changes in his back three. Szromnik produced what was a remarkable save with just four minutes gone. Cadden crossed and Scott McDonald should really have scored from just three yards out, but somehow the replacement goalie stopped the ball on the line. Add Dixon's sizzling shot at the other end, a great run and shot from Marvin Johnson which rattled the post and it was clear that the wet surface was adding to the zip of the game. The early game was peppered with chances and a goal had to come. And so it did after 21 minutes. It was a sensational strike from Henri Anier, found by a John Rankin pass. The former Motherwell hero took a fine first touch and a thunderous second to drive the ball beyond Ripley. It really was a top class finish from the Estonian, dismaying the fans who once roared him on. It was a thrilling opening half and seconds before it ended Motherwell produced an equaliser. Josh Law floated a free kick into the box and Johnson met it with a looping header which seemed to take an age to beat the desperate, out-stretched fingers of Szromnick. It triggered an outbreak of tangible relief from the home support. And what they did see was an outstanding display from Johnson featuring dazzling footwork and electric pace which lit up the night. He even hit the bar in the second-half. With 65 minutes gone he tormented United again with a run to the line and a cut back for the easiest of tap ins for Moult. Again the old curse of slack defending let the Tannadice club down. Gavin Gunning was the culprit this time. It was a bad defeat for United who started so well. They are not lost souls yet.

The Dutch giants trailed 2-0 on aggregate when Nicklas Bendtner scored. But they led on away goals after Amin Younes and Lasse Schone both scored in the space of two second-half minutes. However, Samuel Adegbenro - who also fired home in the first leg - netted twice in the last 10 minutes to send the Norwegians through. Ajax, who lost to Nice on away goals in their Champions League qualifier earlier this summer, have failed to win a European game in a season for the first time since 1990-91, when they did not compete. AC Milan beat Shkendija of Macedonia 1-0 to complete a 7-0 aggregate win and qualify for the group stage after three years out of European competition. Marseille went through 4-1 on aggregate after a 3-0 home win over Slovenians Domzale. Athletic Bilbao are also in the groups, after beating Panathinaikos 1-0 and 4-2 overall. Vardar became the first Macedonian side to reach the group stage of a European competition after a 2-1 win at Fenerbahce, secured a 4-1 aggregate victory.

"Although I am still able to compete with the best drivers, at some point it is good to say goodbye," said the 43-year-old German. "During the past month, I was not sure if I still had the motivation and energy which is necessary to go on. It is not my style to do something that I'm not 100% for. "With today's decision, I feel released from those doubts. In the end, my ambition to fight for victories and the pleasure of driving is nourished by competitiveness."

"Schumacher in his pomp was undoubtedly one of the very greatest racing drivers there has ever been, a man who was routinely, on every lap, able to dance on a limit accessible to almost no-one else. Sure, the competition in his heyday was not as deep as it is now, but Schumacher performed miracles with a racing car that stand comparison with the greatest drives of any era. Victories such as his wet-weather domination of Spain in 1996, his incredible fightback in Hungary in 1998, his on-the-limit battle with Mika Hakkinen at Suzuka that clinched his first title in 2000 were tours de force. " Read Andrew Benson's blog After three years away from the sport, he made a comeback with Mercedes in 2010. However, he has managed just one podium finish in three seasons, in June. "We did not achieve our goals to develop a world championship-fighting car, but it is also very clear that I can still be very happy about my overall achievements in the whole time of my career," added Schumacher. "In the past six years, I have learned a lot about myself. For example, that you can open yourself without losing focus, that losing can be both more difficult and more instructive than winning. "Sometimes I lost this in the earlier years, though you appreciate what you are able to do and that you are able to live your convictions and I was able to do so." Speculation that Schumacher would retire at the end of the season first surfaced at the start of September, when Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone told BBC Sport that the German was quitting the sport. World championships: 7 Race wins: 91 Seasons in F1: 19 Points scored: 1,560 Points finishes: 220 Podiums: 155 Schumacher insisted on Tuesday he remained motivated for Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix, where he will drop 10 places on the Suzuka grid after being penalised for crashing into the back of Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso during the Singapore Grand Prix. However, he admitted Hamilton's move to Mercedes helped him decide to retire. "I was in the picture when the negotiation was going on, but I didn't want to decide, I was not sure," said Schumacher. "Sometimes in life your destiny will develop by itself, without any hard feelings and without any regrets. "We all know Lewis is one of the best drivers we have around and I cross fingers that we will have a successful future." Schumacher would not be drawn on what he plans to do after the season ends, saying his focus is on the remaining races. Media playback is not supported on this device "There are six races to go, that's what comes next," he said. "Whatever comes afterwards, we'll see. "I have options - and you know some of the options - but we will decide when the time is there." Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn has already suggested there may be a position for Schumacher with the German manufacturer. "We would like him to stay involved with Mercedes," Brawn told BBC Sport last week. "There is a lot of things he can contribute - perhaps on the racing car side but certainly on the road car side - and I think that is something he would enjoy a great deal." China would pursue steady policies and seek to boost domestic demand, he said. He was speaking ahead of the start of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit. All countries in the region, he said, shared a responsibility to maintain peace and stability. "The world economy today is recovering slowly, and there are still some destabilising factors and uncertainties," President Hu told businessmen in a speech before the summit. "The underlying impact of the international financial crisis is far from over. "We will work to maintain the balance between keeping steady and robust growth, adjusting the economic structure and managing inflation expectations. We will boost domestic demand and maintain steady and robust growth as well as basic price stability." US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged countries in the region to lift more barriers to free trade in the Pacific. American officials say they would welcome a more active Russian role in the region. "Fostering a balanced and stable economy is a challenge too sweeping and complex for countries to approach in isolation," Mrs Clinton said. "If we do this right, globalisation can become a race to the top, with rising standards of living and more broadly shared prosperity." Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is hosting the summit, has expressed concern about the world economy, and particularly Europe's debt crisis. "The recovery of the global economy is faltering. We can only overcome negative trends by enhancing the volume of trade... enhancing the flow of capital. It is important to follow the fundamental principles of open markets and free trade," he said. "The priority goal is to fight protectionism in all its forms. It is important to build bridges not walls." Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she was leaving the talks early to return home after her father died.

Mr Modi began his two-day visit on Wednesday with a private dinner with Mr Putin. These talks have been held annually since 2000 and hosted alternately between Moscow and Delhi. Russia and India were close allies during the Cold War, but recently the relationship has become more complex. Bilateral trade between the two countries stands at $10bn (£6.74bn) and Russia is India's second largest defence supplier. But earlier this year, India was reported to be displeased with Russia for selling attack helicopters to Pakistan and Russia was unhappy with India for choosing French Rafale fighters and American Apache attack helicopters over Moscow's defence products. Mr Modi's visit is seen as a chance to work on the personal chemistry between the two leaders, and to reset relations between their countries, says the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow. India has become an even more important market for Russia since the West imposed economic sanctions, our correspondent says, adding that Moscow is looking to sell India its sophisticated S400 anti-aircraft systems. A deal to manufacture military helicopters and build further nuclear power plants in India could also be signed. Last year, Russia announced it would help India build at least 10 more nuclear reactors. It has already built in a nuclear reactor in Tamil Nadu state. The two countries have outlined an "ambitious vision" for nuclear energy and agreed that the new reactors would be built over the next 20 years.

Indian PM Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to hold talks, with a firm focus on defence and nuclear energy co-operation

On Saturday, Jake Quickenden is set to play for his new eighth-tier club Ossett Town at Sheffield FC in the FA Cup preliminary round in front of around 200 people - a world away from his life as a reality television star, singer and model. "I get more nervous playing football than I do when I'm up on stage performing in front of thousands," the 28-year-old X Factor singer and 2014 I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! runner-up told BBC Sport. "It doesn't matter if I'm walking out on the pitch in front of 10 people or 100. I know I'm going to get stick and there's going to be a big meaty defender dishing out a couple of cheeky elbows. It's OK though, I can look after myself." A former Scunthorpe United youth team player, Quickenden's hopes of playing professionally for his hometown club ended when he broke a leg at the age of 16. He went on to play in Australia and, after returning to England, turned out for non-league Frickley Athletic and Bottesford Town before taking a break from football to concentrate on his music and television career. He was in the 2012 and 2014 editions of the X Factor and, three years ago, appeared alongside former Premier League player Jimmy Bullard in the reality television game show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! where he finished second behind four-time superbike world champion Carl Fogarty. Quickenden joined Northern Premier League Division One North Ossett in July although he had already made his mark with the Yorkshire part-timers at the end of last season. An online vote to find the best goal of the 2016-17 Northern Premier League campaign saw Ossett's Martin Pembleton - Quickenden's close friend - tied with Frickley Athletic's Curtly Martin-Wyatt. Pembleton then ran out clear winner after Quickenden urged his 497,000 followers on Twitter to vote for his friend. "Football was my first love and I decided recently that I wanted to get back to a decent standard and test myself," added Quickenden. "I don't want to be picked just because I'm on television. I want to earn my place in the side. "I don't get treated any differently in the dressing room. "I got lots of stick for turning up to a pre-season game in a tracksuit. It was pink. Once all the banter had died down a few of the lads quietly asked me later if I could get them one. "I haven't had to sing to them yet, I'm sure that will come, but I've heard their attempts in the dressing room. Let's just say it wasn't for the faint-hearted." Ossett, whose average gate is around 150, are captained by Alex Peterson, 22, who has experience of playing in the Championship for Doncaster Rovers in 2013-14. Victory at Northern Premier League Division One South Sheffield - the world's oldest football club - will leave the Ossett, founded in 1936, four wins from a first ever appearance in the FA Cup first round. "If I play it'll be my first appearance in the FA Cup," said Quickenden. "My friend Jack Muldoon was involved in Lincoln City's run to the quarter-finals last season. That was a fantastic story and I'd love to help Ossett go on a good run." All the FA Cup preliminary round fixtures Read all the FA Cup preliminary round stats When the 2018 FA Cup final takes place at Wembley on 19 May, Paul Bastock will be celebrating his 48th birthday. After more than 1,100 league games, 20 moves and 17 different clubs, Bastock will become one of the oldest players in the modern era to play in the FA Cup when he turns out for Corby Town on Saturday. The goalkeeper made his Football League debut in 1988 aged 17 for Cambridge United and his prolonged career has seen him share a dressing room with former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne and ex-Manchester United striker Dion Dublin. "I remember my debut like it was yesterday," Bastock said. "It was a goalless draw at Colchester in 1988. John Beck gave me £25 after the game to go and have some beers for keeping a clean sheet. "I pocketed the money because I was teetotal at the time." Bastock's long career started at Coventry City where he secured an FA Youth Cup winners' medal in 1987 - the same season the Sky Blues beat Tottenhham 3-2 in the FA Cup final. He has had three spells at St Albans City, a stint in Malaysia, while no-one has played more games for Boston United than Bastock. Some of his 679 appearances for the Pilgrims came after they won promotion to the Football League in 2002. "Our first game up was against Bournemouth. It was a 2-2 draw but after that we went one way and Bournemouth went the other - and now they're in the Premier League," he added. Two years later, Boston announced Gascoigne as their new player-coach. "You had to pinch yourself that Gazza was in the dressing room," added Bastock. "He was brilliant with the youth team, organising fitness programmes and passing on his experience, but he was having his own battles." Eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One South Corby, who reached the third round in 1965-66, travel to Norfolk to face Isthmian League Dereham Town. David Bell, who has played in the Championship for Luton Town, Leicester City, Norwich City and Coventry City, is player-manager of the Steelmen. So could Bastock carry on playing past 50? "This is definitely my last year playing but I've been saying that for the last 10 years," he said. "Some of the other players are 30 years younger than me. It's funny seeing their faces in the dressing room. They're like 'here comes grandad!" Media playback is not supported on this device He turned out for Newcastle United in the Champions League and once commanded a reported weekly wage of £30,000, but Titus Bramble is now playing for nothing at a club whose average gate last season was 85. Four years after playing in the Premier League, 35-year-old Bramble is set to make his second appearance for ninth-tier Stowmarket Town in the FA Cup preliminary round against Romford on Saturday. "Some of my players are Titus' school friends," Stowmarket boss Rick Andrews told BBC Sport. "He's giving something back to football. I'm sure Titus has done quite well out of the professional game. He works as an academy coach at Ipswich Town and he wants to play with his old school friends. "It's a bit like the perfect storm. A number of permutations have come together and this is an arrangement that works for everyone. We'll enjoy Titus for as long as he is here." Bramble made his debut in Stowmarket's defence against Felixstowe and Walton United in the Eastern Counties Premier Division last Saturday - his first competitive game since playing for Sunderland in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on 30 March, 2013. Stowmarket were winning 3-2 when the Ipswich-born player was substituted after 71 minutes. They lost 4-3. Bramble made 292 Premier League appearances over a 13-year period for Ipswich, Newcastle, Wigan and Sunderland as well as commanding transfer fees totalling £6m. Sir Bobby Robson, Martin O'Neill and Steve Bruce were among several managers he served. Former Ipswich, Peterborough and Livingston defender Scott Mitchell also plays for Stowmarket, who have never reached the FA Cup first round in their 134-year history. Lee Norfolk, the first player from New Zealand to play in the Premier League when he appeared for Ipswich in 1994-95, is part of the coaching team. The home tie with Isthmian League North Romford will be played at nearby Ipswich Wanderers as work is being carried out on Stowmarket's pitch. The preliminary round is the second of six qualifying rounds before the first round proper on 4-5 November. A total of 185 teams advanced from the extra preliminary round two weeks ago, with an additional 135 entering at this stage to make 160 ties. Winning clubs at this stage will receive £1,925 each, while one match per round through qualifying will be streamed by BBC Sport. The tie between South Shields and Bridlington Town will be live (12:30 BST) on the BBC Sport website. South Shields play in the eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One North and their team includes 36-year-old Argentine midfielder Julio Arca - veteran of 149 Premier League appearances for Sunderland and Middlesbrough. Bridlington play in the ninth-tier Northern Counties East Premier Division and are managed by Curtis Woodhouse, the former Sheffield United and Birmingham City midfielder who went on to have a career as a professional boxer.

He's been watched on television by millions, performed on stage in front of thousands at Wembley Arena, and has nearly 500,000 followers on Twitter.

Ahmed Shaheed, the special rapporteur on Iran, expressed concern at what he said appeared to be a new crackdown on freedom of expression and the media. The recent arrests of five journalists were particularly worrying, he said. They have been accused of taking part in an "infiltration network linked to hostile Western governments". The journalists - including Afarine Chitsaz, Ehssan Mazandarani, Saman Safarzai, and Issa Saharkhiz - were detained by plainclothes members of the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence units on 2 November. More than a dozen other journalists and social media activists have also reportedly been summoned for interrogation by the Iranian authorities. "The government of Iran should not silence critical or dissenting voices under the guise of vague and unsubstantiated national security concerns," Mr Shaheed said. Iran has international obligations to allow and protect the right to a free press and access to information, he stressed. David Kaye, the UN special rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, noted that the detention and harassment of journalists was increasing as February's parliamentary elections approached, in a repeat of the run-up to the 2013 polls. "Public participation in any electoral process is virtually impossible if the media and civil society are so frequently affected by arrests and prosecution," Mr Kaye said. The UN experts urged Iran to release all journalists who have been arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested for their peaceful exercise of fundamental rights, including the Iranian-American Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian. Mr Rezaian, who has been detained for more than 15 months, was last month found guilty of espionage by a Revolutionary Court after a secret trial. The Iranian authorities have provided no details on the exact nature of the conviction, which the Washington Post and the US government have denounced. The Italian competition authority said it had had complaints from consumers and businesses about the website. It has launched a separate investigation to see if agreements booking sites Expedia and Booking.com hold with hotels are preventing consumers from getting better deals. Trip Advisor has defended its business. "It is important to note that Trip Advisor fights fraud aggressively and we are confident in our systems and process," said a spokesman. "Every single review goes through our tracking system, which maps the how, what, where and when of each review. "Unfortunately every major service industry has to confront the challenge of fraud, but ultimately, if people didn't find the reviews on our site helpful and accurate they wouldn't keep coming back." Expedia said it was "convinced it is acting in full compliance with all applicable laws". Booking.com has yet to comment. Trip Advisor is a highly influential site, where a volume of positive or negative reviews can strongly affect tourism businesses. The Italian competition authority will try to establish whether Trip Advisor has sufficient measures in place to detect reviews made by people who had not visited the place in question. The watchdog also said it was looking at whether Trip Advisor did enough to distinguish between content submitted by travellers and posts paid for by hotels and other travel businesses. In a separate investigation, booking websites Expedia and Booking.com are to be investigated over clauses they put in place for hotels that are listed on the sites. "The analysis centres on clauses applied by Booking and Expedia that prevent hotels from offering better prices and conditions through other online services and, generally, any other booking system (including hotels' own websites)," the watchdog said. "The authority believes the use of such clauses by the main two platforms on the market may significantly limit competition." The announcement comes in the same week that Italy launched an investigation into Google, Apple, Amazon, and games publisher Gameloft over "free-to-play" games. The watchdog said it had concerns that the games did not make it clear how much it may cost to progress in the game. "Consumers could wrongly believe that the game is entirely free and, in any case, that they would know in advance the full costs of the game," the watchdog said. "Moreover, insufficient information seems to be provided to consumers about the settings needed to stop or limit the purchases within the app." In 2014-15, 92.3% of children had the jab to protect them from measles, mumps and rubella. The Health and Social Care Information Centre said the figure was 92.7% in the previous year - which was the highest level of coverage ever achieved. Some parts of the country had less than 80% of children immunised against the infections. The target rate is 95%, which is enough to prevent the diseases spreading in a community. A completely discredited health scare linking the MMR jab to autism led to immunisation rates plummeting a decade ago. Between 1996 and 2004, vaccination rates fell from around 92% to 80%. The dramatic fall led to an "unvaccinated generation" susceptible to the infections which culminated in the biggest measles outbreak in England for nearly two decades when nearly 2,000 cases were reported in 2012. Coverage had been increasing every year since 2007-08 and eventually reached record levels before the latest dip in vaccination rates. Dr Mary Ramsay, the head of immunisation at Public Health England, said it was "pleasing" that MMR coverage was still high. She added: "We urge all parents to check that their children are up-to-date with their vaccinations and to contact their GP as soon as possible if they are unsure so that no child misses out." However, the overall figures hide huge variation. Parts of the West Midlands and the north of England were immunising more than 95% of children. While in some London boroughs and the south east the figure was below 80%. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have figures above 95%. Measles is a highly contagious disease characterised by a high fever and a rash. In one in 15 cases it can lead to severe complications, such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain, and can be fatal. Dr David Elliman, an immunisation expert for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "It is disappointing that uptake of NHS immunisations have not continued to rise, however the falls are very small. "This could be read as children not receiving the vaccination or alternatively, it could be a lack of data collection linked to considerable pressures on staff working in the NHS. "In view of the considerable upheaval that the NHS is going through, it's a credit to staff that we haven't seen bigger falls in uptake." Every four years since 1983, the question has been asked in India with a mixture of hope and uncertainty. Put like that, the answer is always "yes" for, of course, any of half a dozen countries can win. India's success in 1983 democratised cricket in two ways - by introducing a policy of rotating venues and giving other teams the confidence to aspire for victory. The three tournaments following 1983 saw three different winners; India, as co-hosts were expected to win at least two of them, but Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka came through. Since their second win in 2011, India have played 95 one-day internationals (before the start of the tri-series in Australia), won more matches (57), and scored at a better rate (5.57) than any other team. Only Sri Lanka have played more games (112). The format - every team playing every other in two pools and then the top four from each qualifying for the quarterfinals - means that India can afford one or two bad results and still make the grade, unlike in 2007 when they were under pressure after losing to Bangladesh and failed to make the knockout. When the World Cup was first held in the subcontinent, India and Pakistan were placed in different groups in the fond hope that they would meet in the final. Later, with an India-Pakistan encounter generating the biggest television audience and public interest, no matter where it is played and at what stage, the administrators took the pragmatic step of having these countries in the same group, so at least one clash between them was guaranteed. India's pool comprises South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and UAE. A quarter-final slot seems assured. Two good matches thereafter and they are in the final. All very simple and encouraging on paper - an argument which holds good for the top half a dozen teams. But cricket matches are not played on paper, and that is where India's problems surface. On bouncing Australian wickets and seaming New Zealand wickets, India may not inspire confidence. But this is a team which has for years now divorced its non-performance abroad in the longer format from its intensity and confidence in the shorter ones. That only four players from their Cup-winning side four years ago survive is indication that this team, under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is younger and carries less baggage. Only Dhoni, 33, and Stuart Binny, 30, are out of their 20s. In Virat Kohli, they have one of three finest batsmen in the format today. Rohit Sharma, world record holder with a stunning 264 in an ODI, is a different player from the one whose concentration lapses in the course of a Test innings. Suresh Raina is world class in this format, a long way from the batsman who struggles in Tests, and finished with a pair in his last outing. A batting line-up thus: Shikhar Dhawan, Sharma, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane (or Ambati Rayudu), matches the best in the world. Once again it is the bowling that will cause concern. Ravichandran Ashwin, a 2011 survivor - along with Dhoni, Raina and Kohli - will probably be the spearhead since the fast men haven't been inspiring. Yet, the likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami and Bhuvaneswar Kumar are different bowlers when there is only a maximum of 10 overs to deliver, wicket-taking is not a major concern, and plenty of rest is guaranteed. In any case, unlike Tests which are won by bowlers, one-day matches are won by batsmen, and here India are well served. With Ravindra Jadeja still recovering from injury, and some others showing signs of tiredness following exacting tours of England and Australia, fitness may be a key concern for India. The tri-series in Australia (England are the other team) will provide some answers, but the batting will have to deliver in every match to make up for the weaknesses in bowling. A tall order, but not impossible. Australia, four-time winners, playing at home must start top favourites. South Africa, who have, since their debut in 1992 picked up the tag of "chokers" will, once again, try to shake off that image. They have the team for it. No side has been in the semifinals more often than New Zealand's six. This has been a terrific year for them, and they have been one of the most consistent one-day teams. Any of them can win. Pakistan and Sri Lanka complete the top six candidates. Suresh Menon is Editor, Wisden India Almanack Guildford Crown Court heard Steven Miles stabbed Elizabeth Thomas to death before cutting up her body with saws in his bedroom. He was arrested at the scene in Amy Road, Oxted, Surrey, on January 24. Jurors heard Miles, 17, who admitted murder, had a fixation with the lead character in the US series Dexter. He was given a life sentence and told he must serve at least 25 years before being considered for release. The teenager told his family that a voice in his head named Ed told him to kill someone. He used tools from his father's tree surgery business to cut up his girlfriend's body before wrapping her dismembered limbs and placing them in bin bags. When Miles' sister returned to the family's flat about an hour after the murder, he told her "Ed made me do something bad." Psychiatric experts told the court "Ed" was likely to be a manifestation of anxiety, rather than schizophrenia, said BBC South East Home Affairs correspondent Colin Campbell. Miles had some narcissistic personality traits and showed signs of being on the autism spectrum, and the court was told it was these traits that are likely to have caused the anxiety, he added. The court was told Miles had a fascination with horror movies and had wanted to copy the actions of Dexter, the main character in an American TV series about a police forensics officer who is also a serial killer. Prosecutor Philip Bennetts said Miles' parents, Emma and David Miles, had referred him to his GP and mental health services after he began to self harm in April 2012. After missing an extended period of school and undergoing support for his condition in October 2013 he was judged as having made good progress and was discharged by the mental health services. One of his previous girlfriends told police he had described how he was going to kill someone and that on one occasion he tried to strangle her for a matter of seconds. Judge Christopher Critchlow said: "This is a case of the utmost gravity, the horrific features of which are rarely heard in any court. "Nothing this court can say or do, no sentence this court can impose can alleviate the pain suffered by Elizabeth Thomas' family for death in such a terrible manner. There must be a life sentence." Elizabeth's family described her as a "kind, caring, loving and gentle girl". She grew up in West Wickham, south-east London, and had been studying at Oxted School for her A-Levels at the time of her death. Correction 9 October: This story has been amended to reflect more detail of the psychiatric reports on Steven Miles. Developers want to build another 12 turbines at Fallago Rig near Lauder. Opponents to the original 48-turbine scheme had to admit defeat when the Court of Session rejected their bid for a judicial review of its approval. Planning officers have advised the council to tell the Scottish government it does not oppose the extension. Developers also want to extend the life of the current wind farm as part of their application. It would allow the entire 60 turbines to run for 25 years if the second phase became operational. A report to the council has recommended that, on balance, it should not object to the scheme, subject to a string of conditions. It said that due to the location and design of the turbines and their integration with the existing wind farm, the proposals would meet the local authority's planning policies. Planners added that extending the life of the current wind farm was "pragmatic" and should also not be opposed. However, a community council in the area expressed "outrage and disbelief" at the recommendation. Lammermuir Community Council chairman, Mark Rowley, said it seemed "incredible" given the council's previous opposition to the wind farm. "This is a unique case where planners are not being asked to consider hypothetical plans but, to consider re-consenting a wind farm that can be seen and visited," he said. "We are urging our councillors to visit the area, to assess the effects themselves and then maintain SBC's previous position that a wind farm here is unacceptable and to see the additional adverse effects it would impose on the Southern Upland Way and iconic viewpoints such as the Twinlaw Cairns. "There is simply no need for an additional wind farm here or for the existing one to be extended." The gelding is owned by former Wales rugby union fly-half Nicky Robinson, ex-England captain Mike Tindall and his former Gloucester and England team-mate James Simpson-Daniel. The 10-year-old suffered the injury while finishing eight lengths behind Many Clouds in this year's race. "It's too early to say whether he'll make it," said trainer Michael Scudamore. Former Wales Under-20 flanker Scudamore added: "It's a race against time. "He's coming along well and we're hoping to have him back for next year's National, but it is going to need everything to go right between now and then. ''He ran so well in the race last year to finish third so it would be lovely to go back there again." Monbeg Dude won the Welsh National in 2013 and has secured more than £260,000 in prize-money after being bought by Tindall for just £12,000. Scudamore added: "The Dude has been our flag-bearer for the last few years - we had been really looking forward to trying to get him back there again.'' It happened at St Joseph's on the Greystone Road some time between midnight and 02:00 GMT. Roisin Tracey, the school's principal, said 50 iPads and about 30 laptops were stolen during the break-in. She said the school was left with no option but to close for the day. "One of the windows has been kind of ripped off and left on its hinges and another one in my office has just been completely destroyed," she said. "We did have to close because the CSI police officers had to come in through the building and look for fingerprints and do all that kind of evidence search." She said parents of pupils had offered to help with the clean-up of the school and it would reopen on Thursday. Police have appealed for anyone with information about the burglary to contact them. The report by Baroness McGregor-Smith said the economy could receive a £24bn annual boost if businesses stamped out ethnic inequality. It found that people from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds were still often disadvantaged at work. But the government has ruled out legislation on such a breakdown, opting for a voluntary approach instead. "The time for talk on race in the workplace is over, it's time to act", said Baroness McGregor-Smith, whose report was commissioned by the former business secretary Sajid Javid. Her year-long review found that employment rates amongst people from BME backgrounds were 12% lower than for white counterparts. They were more likely to work in lower paid and lower skilled jobs despite being more likely to have a degree, and just 6% reached top-level management positions, the report found. Baroness McGregor-Smith said the UK had a structural, historical bias that favoured certain individuals. "We spoke to a lot of junior people in organisations. They don't think that this agenda is changing", she said. One of her main recommendations was legislation to make firms with more than 50 workers publish a breakdown of their workforce by race and by how much they are paid. "If we don't see a surge of people taking that up because they have too many other priorities well then fine, we'll legislate," she said. "That's my recommendation". Firms should draw up five-year diversity targets and nominate a board member to deliver them, she said. She also wants to see diversity as part of public procurement guidelines. And her report claims that tackling barriers to progression could boost GDP by 1.3%. "The consequences of continuing to do nothing will be damaging to the economy and to the aspirations of so many," she said. Baroness McGregor-Smith was one of the first Asian women to lead a FTSE 250 company. She ran the outsourcing group Mitie for nearly 10 years until she stepped down as chief executive in 2016. She said that overt racism does still occur in workplaces, but she highlighted unconscious bias as being more pervasive and potentially more insidious. Only 74 FTSE 100 companies replied to her call for data for the report. She said that she was shocked that only half of those were able to share any meaningful information. Last year the Equality and Human Rights Commission said that the life chances for young minority ethnic people were "the most challenging for generations". A study by the TUC also found that Black, Asian and minority ethnic workers were a third more likely than white workers to be underemployed. Responding to the McGregor review, the TUC's general secretary Francis O Grady said that "without government action, racist discrimination at work won't simply disappear". "Ministers must act on the report's recommendations, including requiring companies with over 50 employees to publish data on race and pay." Business minister Margot James said: "Outdated attitudes or lack of awareness about ethnicity in the workplace must be challenged." "The economic benefits of harnessing untapped talent is huge and I urge employers to implement these recommendations to ensure everyone can reach the top of their career - whatever their background." But the minister ruled out new laws on firms. "We believe ... the best method is a business-led, voluntary approach and not legislation as a way of bringing about lasting change," she said.

Referees will also have powers to halt play if they have concussion concerns. Teams already have a "free" temporary interchange of players which is not counted in their allocation if the player is then fit to return. The Rugby Football League has also reduced video referee appointments to one per game. Also included in the four new rule changes rolled out by the RFL is a clarification of the eight-point try law, which will now see the additional penalty kick goal awarded only for an challenge on a player "in the act of scoring a try". Off-the-ball tackles on dummy runners or players not involved with play can still be dealt with by a referee but do not come under the eight-point try law. The concern behind allowing medical staff to keep radio contact with physios on the field is the desire to avoid footballing messages being passed onto players. To combat this, the equipment must operate on a different frequency not accessible to coaching staff, kit must be checked by match commissioners and the units must be marked with green tape. These rules will be implemented at reserve-grade level to test their relevance and suitability in professional rugby league: At least 30 sports, including football, covered up samples involving more than 1,000 athletes between 2011 and 2015, according to the McLaren report. The Mail on Sunday has said Fifa was investigating if Russia's 2014 World Cup squad were part of the programme. However Fifa says no players from the competition returned a positive test. "Fifa has simply confirmed that, in close collaboration with Wada [World Anti-Doping Agency], it is still investigating the allegations involving football players in the so-called McLaren report," said a spokesman from world football's governing body. "However, Fifa did not refer to any particular players, since it cannot comment on the status of ongoing investigations." The second of two McLaren reports, led by Canadian law professor and sports lawyer Dr Richard McLaren, was published in December 2016. It alleged that Russian authorities assisted athletes taking banned drugs by swapping their positive samples for clean ones. But Fifa said that samples taken from players at the 2014 World Cup, including the full Russian squad, were sent to a Wada-accredited laboratory in Lausanne, Switzerland. It added that the same procedure is being applied for this year's Confederations Cup, which is being held in Russia as a dress rehearsal for the 2018 World Cup. "As far as the Fifa Confederations Cup is concerned, every participating player has been tested through blood and urine in unannounced controls," added Fifa. "Both the results of the unannounced and the post-match tests have been negative so far." Russia went out at the group stage of the 2014 World Cup after two draws and a defeat. Media playback is not supported on this device Professor McLaren confirmed that 33 football players, including some foreigners, were listed in his report, although no other details were revealed with information passed on to federations and regulatory bodies. "There have never been and will never be any problems with doping in our football - our team are permanently being tested, they undergo doping tests after every match," Russia's deputy prime minister Vitaly Mutko told TASS news agency. The McLaren reports looked into allegations made by Dr Grigory Rodchenkov, a director of the anti-doping laboratory at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014. The first McLaren report said positive drug tests were secreted through "mouse holes" and swapped for clean negative ones. Wada recommended all Russian competitors be banned from Rio 2016, but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) left it up to individual sports' governing bodies to decide. Only the International Association of Athletics Federations enforced a blanket ban, which is still in force for this summer's World Athletics Championships in London. She was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome at the age of two, which caused her body to age eight times faster than normal, and she died in her mother's arms on 2 April. Turquoise was one of the teenager's favourite colours and she was brought to All Saints Church, in Sidley, East Sussex, in a tiny coffin of the same colour. Friends and family, lead by her mother Kerry, walked behind the hearse for the short distance from her home. Kerry Okines and Hayley's two older sisters, Stacey and Charlotte, then carried the coffin into church. Hayley's two chihuahua puppies were also taken in to the funeral service. Some of the mourners had travelled from the US, Holland, Belgium and Portugal to pay their last respects. The Prince of Wales led the tributes to Hayley, dubbed the "100-year-old teenager", in a letter sent to her parents and read out in church, describing her as "an inspiration to millions". Prince Charles recalled how he had met her at the Children of Courage event in Westminster Abbey in 2004, and was "deeply impressed by her incredible spirit and her infectious love of life". Hayley's younger sister Ruby sang a song called You're Free, before telling the congregation that "she could not have asked for a better sister". In an emotional tribute, Mrs Okines then spoke of her "little chick" who had made her "the proudest mum in the world". "You are the reason why I got out of bed in the morning and managed to put one foot in front of another." Hayley's father Mark spoke of his "very special girl" in a poem read out in church. Speaking afterwards, school friend Rachel Blackmore, 16, recalled how she "lit up the room" every time she entered it. Another friend, Connie Barton, 15, added: "We had loads of sleepovers, and did lots of girly things together, and were always giggling." The funeral service was followed by a private cremation. In a phone call on Tuesday, Mr Obama informed Mr al-Sisi that F-16 fighter jets, missiles and M1A1 tank kits would be delivered. The aid was put on hold in the wake of a military coup in 2013. Egypt is part of an Arab offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen, and also fighting Islamic State in Libya. In October 2013, the Obama Administration said it would halt the delivery of some large military systems to the Egyptian government until it saw advances towards democracy. But on Tuesday, the president said the jets, missiles and tank kits will resume. Apache helicopter deliveries restarted in December. He also assured the Egyptian leader that he would continue to support the $1.3b (??876.8m) in aid that the US government gives to Egypt annually. "The president explained that these and other steps will help refine our military assistance relationship so that it is better positioned to address the shared challenges to US and Egyptian interests in an unstable region, consistent with the longstanding strategic partnership between our two countries," the White House said in a statement detailing the call between the two leaders. The statement went on to say that Mr Obama expressed his concerns about human rights abuses in Egypt. The aid comes as Egypt has tried to take a leading role in forming an Arab military alliance to fight terrorism in the Middle East. On his website, he said that his staff of 170 could "take off whenever they want for as long as they want". He added that there was no need to ask for approval, nor say when they planned to return, the assumption being that the absence would not damage the firm. Mr Branson said he was inspired by his daughter, who read about a similar plan at the online TV firm Netflix. "It is left to the employee alone to decide if and when he or she feels like taking a few hours, a day, a week or a month off," wrote the billionaire. "The assumption being that they are only going to do it when they feel 100% comfortable that they and their team are up to date on every project and that their absence will not in any way damage the business - or, for that matter, their careers!" He added that he had introduced the policy in the UK and the US "where vacation policies can be particularly draconian". If it goes well there, Mr Branson said he would encourage subsidiaries to follow suit. "We should focus on what people get done, not on how many hours or days worked. Just as we don't have a nine-to-five policy, we don't need a vacation policy," he wrote. The blog is an excerpt from a forthcoming book. Virgin Group employs more than 50,000 people around the world and operates in more than 50 countries. Mr Branson started the company in 1970 and it has gone from a mail order record company to having businesses in telecoms, travel and financial services. The RMT union is planning two further days of strike action in an ongoing dispute with ScotRail over driver-only trains. Labour urged Humza Yousaf to meet the parties in a bid to end the stalemate. Transport Scotland said the minister had already engaged with both sides to find a solution. The RMT plans to hold two further 24-hour strikes, on Sunday 24 and 31 July, after the failure of talks through the conciliation service Acas. Labour's transport spokesman Neil Bibby said: "Rail passengers have already faced significant disruption this summer due to infrastructure work on the Queen Street tunnel and Glasgow Subway causing delays and cancellations. "The new UK transport secretary said resolving the dispute on Southern Railways was his 'top priority'. The SNP government should start to take seriously the real concerns of ScotRail staff and get a grip of this situation." The RMT opposes any extension of driver-only trains and wants guards to be in control of operating doors, which it claims is a safer system. But ScotRail has said 59% of customers already travel on a train where the doors are safely opened and closed by the driver, and that a second person would always be scheduled to be on board trains to help customers. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "Everyone wants to see an end to these strikes, Scotland's rail passengers most of all. "The minister for transport and Transport Scotland officials have engaged with both sides throughout to find a solution, which we still believe lies in meaningful discussion. "To this end we would call on both parties to get around the table and find a way to end these strikes once and for all. "The Scottish government's resilience committee has met regularly since this period of disruption began to ensure that proper planning and contingency measures have been in effect to minimise disruption for passengers." Transport Scotland said it had been assured by ScotRail that over 80% of services would run as normal this weekend. Passengers are advised to check the ScotRail strike information web page before they travel. The ELN was reacting to a demand by government negotiator Juan Camilo Restrepo for the release by Thursday of a man held hostage by the ELN. Mr Restrepo said the talks would not begin if the hostage was not released. The two sides have been engaged in an armed conflict for five decades. Government and ELN rebel negotiators announced back in March that they would open formal peace negotiations. How significant is Colombia's ELN rebel group? The talks, originally scheduled to start in May, were delayed after the ELN rebels failed to meet the government's demand that the guerrillas stop kidnapping people. After the ELN made a commitment not to carry out any more kidnappings, the two sides set a date of 27 October to start formal talks in neighbouring Ecuador. But with only two days to go to the meeting in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito, the issue has flared up again. Mr Restrepo said on Monday that unless the ELN released the man who is believed to be their last remaining hostage, the talks would be off. "If Odin Sanchez isn't released safe and sound between now and Thursday, the conditions will not be in place to begin the public phase of the negotiations," Mr Restrepo told Colombian radio. Odin Sanchez handed himself in to the rebels in April in exchange for the release of his brother Patrocinio. The former governor of north-western Choco province, Patrocinio Sanchez, was held by the rebels for almost three years and had fallen ill when his brother suggested the swap. Patrocinio Sanchez said on Monday that he opposed the ultimatum given by the Colombian government as he said he feared it could put his brother in further danger. The government is struggling not only to salvage the peace talks with the ELN but also a deal struck with Colombia's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc). The Farc and the government signed a peace deal last month but the agreement was rejected by Colombians in a popular vote on 2 October. Farc and government negotiators are now trying to reach a new agreement which is acceptable to those who voted "no". More than 260,000 people have died in Colombia's armed conflict which has pitted left-wing rebels against right-wing paramilitaries and the security forces. The Team Sky rider cracked on the brutal uphill finish, finishing seventh, and Italy's Aru pounced to take the race lead by just six seconds. Bardet climbed to victory on the 214.5km stage to move third overall. Colombia's Rigoberto Uran was second on the stage, followed by Aru and Froome's Team Sky team-mate Mikel Landa. "It was a tough day for me in the final metres and my team-mates had done such an amazing job," said Froome. "But I didn't have the legs to finish it off, it's as simple as that. No excuses. I just didn't have the legs on the final kick." British champion Steve Cummings made a long solo break on the 50th anniversary of the death of compatriot Tom Simpson but was caught inside the final 10km on the penultimate climb. Britain's Simon Yates moved up to sixth overall after finishing ninth on the stage and retains the best young rider's white jersey. Media playback is not supported on this device For the majority of this first day in the Pyrenees - the second longest stage of this year's Tour - Team Sky successfully employed their familiar tactic of sitting at the front of the peloton, keeping the pace just high enough to neutralise attacks by defending champion Froome's rivals. All seven of Froome's remaining team-mates were still in place at the foot of the highest climb of the day - the 'hors categorie' Port de Bales - before Landa and fellow Spaniard Mikel Nieve guided their leader into the final few kilometres. New Zealand's George Bennett attacked in the final kilometre and although Landa reeled him in, Aru then kicked. He distanced Froome as Uran and Bardet bridged the gap before the Frenchman found enough power to haul himself up a section with a gradient of 16% to win. Uran and Aru followed two seconds later but Froome was still struggling in visible pain behind, eventually losing 22 seconds to stage-winner Bardet and with it the yellow jersey to Aru. Whether Froome's style simply did not suit the punchy 2.4km final climb, or whether there are issues with his form this year, remains to be seen. Having won his first Tour stage at La Planche des Belles Filles on stage five, Aru now has the first yellow jersey of his career. The Astana rider closely marked Froome throughout the stage - albeit a little too close when he followed the Briton and Nieve off the road as they overshot a corner at the foot of the Peyresourde, only to easily catch back up - and attacked with just enough road left to take the overall lead. Aru's Astana team have been considerably weakened, however. Dario Cataldo abandoned after a crash on stage 11 and Jakob Fuglsang could follow, having had to battle to finish stage 12 after suffering two fractures in the same crash that forced his team-mate out of the Tour. Bardet - bidding to become the first French Tour winner since Bernard Hinault in 1985 - finished a distant second to Froome in last year's Tour but has shown more attacking intent in this edition, epitomised by the words, "Take the risk or lose the chance," printed on the top tube of his bike. Cannondale-Drapac rider Uran was impressive in finishing second but he and Bennett were later given 20-second time penalties for taking bottles in the final 10km. After a frantic scramble for position early on, a group of 12 riders broke clear, including Team Dimension Data's Cummings - an expert in long, solo victories from breakaways, having won Tour stages in this manner in both 2015 and 2016. The group gradually thinned until just Cummings and Belgium's Thomas de Gendt remained, before the Briton attacked to pass over the summit of the Port de Bales alone, only to be caught on the Peyresourde. Cummings may look to get in a breakaway again, with stage 19 in particular a potential target. Friday's stage 13 is a short but mountainous 101km route from Saint-Giron to Foix, taking place on Bastille Day. French riders are almost duty bound to attack on their national day and with Bardet's descending skills, could he win the race into Foix and make it back-to-back stage wins? Stage 12 result: 1.

Jane Ross fired wide in the second half and was later denied by goalkeeper Laura O'Sullivan after Lisa Evans had fired against the bar. With no goals in 90 minutes, the play-off tie went to spot-kicks and Frankie Brown scored the decisive kick. There was an inevitable air of anti-climax following the group games and it did not help that the Scots had several players out with injury. Six of Anna Signeul's usual starting line-up, including Kim Little, were not even on the bench. A further four, including Evans and Ross, did not start, leaving central defender Ifeoma Dieke, who was captain for the day, as the only regular in the starting XI. Wales chose a strong team but after coming close in the third minute, when Rachel Rowe forced goalkeeper Shannon Lynn to make a good block with her leg, they failed to take advantage of Scotland's makeshift line-up. Signeul's injury woes continued when a stretcher was called for Rachel McLauchlan as she lay injured after only 10 minutes, but the Hibernian right-back, making her first Scotland start, was able to continue. However, Hibs captain Joelle Murray was replaced by Brown after 32 minutes. Left-back Smith came closest to scoring midway through the first half, her fine 30-yard shot touched over by O'Sullivan. Substitutes Ross and Evans altered the dynamic of the game after the break and Ross had a great chance to score her 50th Scotland goal but slipped the ball wide. Evans then rattled the frame of the goal and Ross's attempt to net the rebound was blocked. The Manchester City striker continued in pursuit of the landmark goal but was just over with a shot from 20 yards. Substitute Fiona Brown crossed for Lizzie Arnot, who could not direct her header past O'Sullivan with the clock ticking down. Evans, and then Ross - twice - in stoppage time, again came very close before full-time. Hayley Ladd and Amina Vine were unsuccessful with their penalties for Wales while Scotland's Caroline Weir had her spot-kick saved before Brown converted to settle the tie. Scotland: Lynn, McLauchlan, J Murray (Fr Brown), Dieke, Smith, L Ross (Fi Brown), Weir, Crichton, Arnot, Cuthbert (J Ross), C Murray (Evans). Wales: O'Sullivan, Harding (Miles), Ladd, Ingle, Gemma Evans (Vine), Georgia Evans, Fishlock (James), Rowe (Thomas), Beynon (Estcourt), Lawrence, Green (Fletcher). Referee: E Urban (Hungary). Scotland captain Ifeoma Dieke: "The pitch was bad, you couldn't play football - we tried, but it wasn't our best game. The tiredness definitely showed. "Games against the Home Nations are always going to be more of a battle than football. They battled, we battled. "In the second half we played better and had some good chances. It was also our first clean sheet of the tournament so I guess that's pleasing. "It was also good practice for going to the Euros because you never know if we're going to get to a situation like this with penalties. "It was good to finish off the 10 days with the win and there have been a lot of positives from the tournament, including so many players getting game time. That's going to stand us in good stead." Last month, an electoral college of 47 people, including all the bishops in Wales, met over three days to vote on a confidential candidates list. But it ended with no result as none of the candidates received the two-thirds majority needed. On Tuesday, the bishops will consider new nominations which were put forward in a consultation. Under the terms of the Church's constitution, the responsibility of filling the vacancy following the first failed vote falls to the Bench of Bishops. The Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, John Davies, who is president of the electoral college, had called for a "wide-ranging" consultation involving both the laity and the clergy. From that, the bishops will now consider the names put forward as potential candidates. The election follows the retirement of Dr Barry Morgan at the end of January. The British rider attacked his main rival Alberto Contador around 7km from the summit finish at the end of the 242.5km race - the longest of the Tour. He quickly caught Colombian rider Nairo Quintana, who made his move earlier and then rode clear with 1.2km left. Froome won by 29 seconds to extend his lead over Bauke Mollema and Contador. Media playback is not supported on this device The Team Sky rider, who also won the mountain-top finish on stage eight in a similarly dominant fashion, strengthened his grip on the race leader's yellow jersey as he beat Mollema, who is second in the overall standings, by one minute, 46 seconds and third-placed Contador by 1'40". Dutchman Mollema, who rides for Belkin, is now 4'14" behind Froome, while Saxo-Tinkoff's Contador is 4'25" back with six stages remaining in the three-week race. Froome said: "My main objective was to get more of a buffer on the general classification riders but I didn't see myself winning the stage. "I expected Quintana to go further out than he did but I wasn't expecting it to be that hard to catch him and when I did I thought he was going to win the stage. "But in the last two kilometres he started fading - I didn't really attack, he just couldn't hold my wheel. "This climb is so historic and means so much to this race, especially in the 100th edition of the race." "That was a fantastic victory by Chris Froome and one you don't see very often these days. "The race leader, if he is going to go on the attack, generally does it in the last kilometre or so to gain a few seconds whereas this was a real demonstration by the best climber in the race. "It was a good move by Nairo Quintana because it is better to ride up the mountain at your own pace and although I knew Froome would attack as soon as he caught him, the Colombian benefited because they then rode together. "Froome showed he is not frightened of Quintana, who is an excellent climber, and I wouldn't rule out seeing the Movistar rider on the podium in Paris - he should love next week's double climb of Alpe d'Heuz. "Team Sky will be pleased with Richie Porte's performance - he looks like he's got over whatever was troubling him in the Pyrenees and he will be a great help to Froome in the Alps - although I can't see anyone catching the race leader now." Listen to the stage 15 podacst on BBC Radio 5 live The ascent of Mont Ventoux achieved notoriety on 13 July 1967 when it claimed the life of Britain's first world road race champion Tommy Simpson, who died close to the summit after taking a cocktail of amphetamines and alcohol. Hopes of a French winner on Bastille Day rested on the shoulders of Sylvain Chavanel after the Omega Pharma-Quickstep rider raced clear of a breakaway group of nine riders as they hit the bottom of the final climb. The 34-year-old, who has won three Tour stages, opened up a lead of 90 seconds over the main bunch but he was slowly reeled back in and caught with 12km of the climb remaining. Euskaltel's Mikel Nieve had already made his bid for glory and he was soon joined by Quintana and the pair opened up a gap of 45 seconds on a group containing Contador, Froome and his team-mate Richie Porte. Australian Porte continued to pace Froome until the British rider accelerated with 7km to go. Contador was unable to match Froome's burst and quickly dropped back. Quintana moved away from Nieve but soon had Froome for company. The Team Sky leader tried a couple of attacks but his Movistar companion was equal to them until he finally cracked inside the final 1500m of the race, leaving Froome to race to the finish on his own. Monday is a rest day and racing resumes with stage 16 on Tuesday - a hilly 168km race from Vaison-la-Romaine to Gap. Results of stage 15: 1. Chris Froome (GB) Team Sky 5:48:45" 2.

It will look at the relationship between natural resources, human intervention and the physical realities of thousands of years of landscape management. American aerial photographer Alex MacLean took the pictures last month. "Wales is extremely interesting to photograph from the air," said Mr MacLean, who will be one of the keynote speakers at DCFW's Landmarks conference. "Unlike America, which I have spent a lot of time documenting from the air, there is a clear delineation between town and country, as opposed to the US, where you get more of a suburban sprawl, randomly spilling into the countryside. "It's also clear that many settlements in Wales require you to get into your car to drive for basic provisions, such as groceries, and this infrastructure is one of the many signs of the way we live to have left its mark on the landscape." They are expected to ask for the new charges when Mr Madsen appears in court in early September. Ms Wall was last seen alive on 10 August as she departed with Mr Madsen on his self-built underwater vessel. On Wednesday a headless torso found in waters off Denmark was identified as belonging to Ms Wall. DNA from the torso - which had been weighted down with metal - matched that on Ms Wall's hairbrush and toothbrush. Mr Madsen initially said he had dropped her off safely near Copenhagen, but then said she died in an accident and that he had "buried" her at sea. He denies killing Ms Wall and was initially charged with negligent manslaughter. Danish police believe Mr Madsen deliberately sank the 40-tonne submarine hours after the search for Ms Wall began. Her partner had reported that she had not returned from the trip. Part of her remains were found on a beach south of Copenhagen on Monday. Ferouz Myuddin, who is 11 months old, was born in Brisbane when his mother was transferred to hospital from a refugee detention centre on Nauru. A judge backed the government's earlier ruling that the baby was an "unauthorised maritime arrival" so could not claim refugee status. Lawyers said he and 100 similar babies could now be sent to Nauru. The hearing comes as the federal government considers amending the Migration Act to retrospectively declare all babies born to asylum seekers who arrive by boat as unauthorised maritime arrivals, irrespective of whether they were born on Australian soil. If the amendments are passed, babies born to asylum seeker parents in Australia will have no right to apply for a permanent protection visa and should be transferred offshore. Ferouz's family are Muslim Rohingyas who said they fled to Myanmar (also known as Burma) to escape persecution. They landed on Australian territory in September last year and were taken to the off-shore processing centre in Nauru. Ferouz was born prematurely after his mother was taken to hospital in Brisbane because of concerns over her pregnancy. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison had previously denied Ferouz a protection visa - which allows refugees to live permanently in Australia - on the basis that he had arrived on Australian territory by sea illegally. Australia asylum: Why is it controversial? His parents then appealed to the Federal Court but after examining how the family had entered Australia, Judge Michael Jarrett backed the government view. He said the rule was intended to discourage people smugglers. Lawyer Murray Watt said he was advising the Myuddin family, currently staying in a detention centre in Darwin, to appeal. "This is a ludicrous decision given he was born here in Brisbane's Mater Hospital and he even has a Queensland birth certificate," ABC News quoted him as saying. He said his firm - which is representing the families of 100 babies born in Australia to asylum seekers who arrived by boat - would be seeking assurance from the government that the families will not be moved to Nauru until the appeal is heard. Mr Morrison welcomed the ruling, saying it has "always been the intention of successive governments that children born to illegal maritime arrivals, are taken to have the same status as their parents," ABC News reports. Ferouz's family are also applying for citizenship for him as a "stateless" migrant, saying that as a Rohingya he is denied citizenship in Myanmar. Children born in Australia to non-citizens or non-permanent residents can automatically get citizenship but only once they turn 10 and have spent most of their life in Australia. Australia has been clamping down on asylum seekers, particularly those who arrive by boat. Last month Australia signed a controversial deal with Cambodia to resettle refugees in the South East Asian nation. It also reintroduced temporary visas for refugees, which allow for the refugees to be sent home after a period of time if conditions in their home country are judged to have improved. Australia's High Court is also hearing a separate challenge over 157 asylum seekers from Sri Lanka who set out from southern India and were intercepted by Australia security in July. They were held on a customs ship at sea for a month, initially in secret, Their lawyers argued they were illegally detained, but government lawyers said the decision was made under existing laws. The court on Wednesday said it was reserving its decision, with a ruling not expected for some time. Usually the latter of those points is the one to happen without note, but League Two side Wycombe Wanderers have decided it was time to go bold. Really bold. Their new goalkeeper kits, in particular the tie-dye-like home strip, has gained immediate cult status for the sheer in-your-faceness. And it is in no way accidental. "I wanted to try to create a target area to draw opposition players' eyes to," said Chairboys goalkeeping coach and chief designer Barry Richardson. "The modern-day goalkeepers are a lot bigger than they used to be, so it's a no-brainer to design something with big, bright, bold colours because it just makes big goalkeepers even bigger." So where did his inspiration for the kit come from? "I had a kaleidoscope as a kid," said Richardson. "I remember looking at it and it drew my eyes into the middle. "With all of the sparkly colours, you could see them all on the peripheral, but your eyes are always drawn to the centre." Richardson, 47, acts as back-up to first-choice Scott Brown at Adams Park, the man lucky enough to model the kits in official photos. "You're always looking for that extra 1% and hopefully this can help us in one way," said Brown. "It's definitely the best kit I've had. You get the standard ones, a home one and away one and they're identical. It's usually a green one and a yellow one and these are totally different." According to Richardson, the reaction from Wycombe's strikers has already proved how worthwhile the design is. He continued: "What the strikers have said straight away was that 'I don't look at the goalie, he doesn't distract me'. Straight away, those are the sort of answers you want because you're already affecting their heads. They're thinking about it now. "There are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and goalkeepers conceding goals. So if we can concede less and it preys on a few people mentally, they're thinking 'I'll show them and stick it in the top corner', we've already affected them." Several express concern at Mr Trump's claim that the election will be rigged and at his threat that he may refuse to accept the outcome if he loses. These concerns are summed up succinctly by a headline in France's Le Point: "Trump can no longer win, but can refuse to admit defeat". Spain's El Mundo says that Mr Trump's aggressive attitude during the debate "once again made Clinton a winner 'by default' over her rival". The paper adds that Mr Trump's suggestion that he could refuse to accept the election result is likely to overshadow the remaining days of the campaign, and predicts that his remark will not help his cause. Massimo Gaggi comments in Italy's Corriere Della Sera that Mr Trump is now "one step away from the abyss". Mr Gaggi writes that it had earlier seemed that Mr Trump could not do his campaign any more harm. However, "on Wednesday night Trump managed it, openly threatening to provoke an institutional crisis without precedent by refusing to accept defeat if Hillary beats him". In Germany, Christoph von Marschall writes in Berlin's Tagesspiegel that "We are used to such things... from states with authoritarian governments. But not from western democracies!" He is in no doubt over who emerged as the winner of the debate: "Trump is not an equal partner when it comes to objective argument. He can only curse and rant - and dole out insults." The pattern is repeated in the Middle Eastern press, with many papers seeing Mrs Clinton as now having a clear lead over her rival. The UAE's Al-Bayan daily says that "Clinton surpasses Trump", while the Libyan news website Al-Mostakbal declares: "Clinton ahead of Trump three weeks before elections". A commentary by Hesham Melhom in Lebanon's Al-Nahar focuses on Trump's "unfounded" allegations that elections will be rigged against him: "Trump is trying to prepare himself for losing, intimidate the Democrats and spread a climate of tension to dissuade voters from going to the polls". Boaz Bismuth writes in the Israeli daily Yisrael Hayom: "There is no doubt that the road to the White House today seems easier for Hillary Clinton." However, a gloomy analysis in the left-of-centre Israeli broadsheet Ha'aretz says that even if Trump is heavily defeated in the election, "the darkness is already here... liberal democracy is under attack." The Russian business channel RBC TV says the debate "was again won by Hillary Clinton", an opinion shared by the Gazeta.ru news website. "Clinton demonstrated her iron self-control", it writes. "Trump... lost all his energy. He kept silent more often and attacked less." The pro-Kremlin business website Expert Online thinks the two candidates fought a draw: "A great majority of polls still show that Clinton is beating Trump... But Trump is obviously winning on social networks." Russian TV station, Rossiya 24, focuses on the mention of President Putin: "It took Hillary Clinton less than 30 minutes to once again accuse Russia of committing cyber attacks against the USA and Donald Trump of liking the Russian leader", it reports. China's Global Times says that the candidates' final encounter "looked more like a fight than a debate" .

The northern distributor road (NDR) is planned to run from Postwick on the A47 and circumvent the east and north of the city, to connect with the A1067. Norfolk County Council says delays and increased outlay for environmental factors have raised the cost to £178m. It has asked the government to pay £15m and will propose paying half of the shortfall itself, at a council meeting on 2 September. The council says the previous budget of £148m was "based on 2013 prices", and that "construction cost inflation and unavoidable design changes" had bumped up the price. "The rise in price is largely due to delays as central government reviewed all major infrastructure projects in the early years of the coalition government," the council said. "To secure development consent, higher and more costly standards are now required in the design of drainage systems, wildlife protection, landscaping and environmental measures. "These include an additional £1m to be spent on bat barns and crossings." The project, which opponents say will not solve traffic problems but will "damage the quality of life" for local people, was granted development consent in June. George Nobbs, Labour leader of Norfolk County Council, said: "It's hugely disappointing that delays beyond our control have caused increased costs and I think it's right that we press the government to do what's right by Norfolk and meet us half way." A spokesman for the Department for Transport said: "We are currently considering an application from Norfolk County Council and a decision will be made in due course." Joy Robson, 51, from Skye, died after a rally car crashed at the Snowman Rally near Inverness in February 2013. She had been watching the motorsports event with her son Dean. He told the FAI that they had tried to move from where they were standing because they felt it was becoming dangerous, but it was too late. The FAI at Edinburgh Sheriff Court was shown video footage of the moments leading up to the crash, with cars getting closer to spectators. The same inquiry will also examine the deaths of three people - Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan and Len Stern - at the Jim Clark Rally near Coldstream in the Borders in 2014. On Wednesday, a rally driver told the hearing how his car somersaulted out of control before hitting Ms Robson at the Highlands event. Graeme Schoneville said he hit a rock on wet gravel before the car rolled off the forest track. Giving evidence on Thursday, Mr Robson said he saw a car coming down the track which looked like it was losing control before his mother was hit. The 25-year-old, from Skye, said he and his mother were standing with others up the track from a hairpin bend. Watching footage recorded by another spectator, he said: "We thought the position we were standing in was no longer safe as cars were coming down the hill and coming closer and closer. "We made the decision at that time to move, but unfortunately it was too late. "As the track was getting more ripped up, the cars were sliding a lot closer and closer to us. It was in that moment we started thinking, 'this is actually quite dangerous'." He said he and his mother moved from where they were standing and planned to leave the rally stage as there was "potentially a hazard in every direction". When the accident happened, he said he had started moving down the track and thought his mother was right behind him. Mr Robson said he heard a car coming and turned round to see it looked like it was "potentially going to crash", and he moved into the trees at the side of the track then fell down a hidden dip. He said: "It was only a split-second. She would have been behind me. I thought she was following me. "I could hear trees crunching, screams and shouts. I looked to see where my mother was and saw that my mother was on the floor. There was a tree hanging over her." Mr Robson told the inquiry how others helped him lift the tree off his mother and said he felt it was a "long time" before paramedics arrived. He said: "She was in and out of consciousness, screaming and shouting and then passing out." Mr Robson said his mother was taken to an ambulance and was successfully resuscitated two or three time before a fourth attempt failed and a doctor informed him she had died. The inquiry continues. Having survived for 20 overs without scoring a run to take England to the brink of an unlikely draw against Sri Lanka at Headingley, England's number 11 was dismissed by the penultimate ball of the match. Feeling he had let down his team, when asked about his efforts by Michael Atherton at the post-match presentation, he could barely get a word out. Three weeks later at Trent Bridge, the only man in danger of crying was India captain MS Dhoni as Anderson played a starring role in a morning of barely believable mayhem. A year and a day after Ashton Agar's heroics on the same ground, Lancashire's Anderson scored 81 runs - the highest score by an England number 11 - and with Joe Root put on 198 to set a new record for a 10th-wicket Test partnership. And to the utter delight of a packed Saturday crowd at one of Test cricket's most atmospheric venues, a match that had appeared moribund for three days was brought kicking and screaming back to life. By the time Anderson was out soon after lunch to bring the England innings to an end, his achievement was the talk of social media while the odds on him becoming Sports Personality of the Year were slashed from 100/1 to 25/1. BBC football host Gary Lineker tweeted his congratulations from Brazil, while former England captain Alec Stewart joked that England had discovered a new all-rounder. "I never thought I was capable of getting a score like that," admitted Anderson afterwards. "There were a couple of mix-ups running between the wicket, when I set off and got sent back, but on the whole we did it really well. Joe is a young lad but he played it with great experience. "He talked me through every ball of my innings, and I talked him through most of his as well. I enjoyed every minute of it. "It was disappointing at Headingley, you do have those moments, but that makes you want to cherish these moments even more." There had been little sign history was beckoning when Anderson, 31, had walked to the crease to join Yorkshire's Root on Friday evening, with England on 298-9 in reply to India's 457. And even though the pair survived to add 54 before the close, it was bowling rather than batting that Anderson was practising on the outfield on Saturday morning. When he reached 35 it was his highest Test score and when he passed 37 it was his best effort in 168 first-class games. By the time he brought up his half-century with the first pull shot of his innings and possibly his career, it was his top score in all competitive cricket - beating an unbeaten 49 scored opening the batting for Burnley in the Lancashire League. By now, Anderson was in such unchartered territory he looked totally lost as to how to celebrate his landmark. Eventually, matters were taken out of his hands by Root - who walked up to his team-mate and engulfed him in the sort of bear hug that is usually reserved for Test match victories. "Joe came down the wicket and said 'milk it'," added Anderson. "I didn't really know what that meant so I just did the round with the bat. I've seen people point at the dressing room so I did that as well." In some ways, it was a victory of sorts for beleaguered captain Alastair Cook, who had been pilloried by pundits and supporters for his lack of imagination when India's final pair had amassed 111 on day two. There is nothing more headache-inducing to a Test captain than a last-wicket partnership, but this time it was Dhoni who was reaching for the pain-killers. At one point, when Murali Vijay showed all the mobility of a chest of drawers to miss a pretty simple chance, Dhoni was so livid he ran off the pitch, bringing the drinks break forward by 10 minutes. When the India skipper crowded men around Anderson's bat, the batsman simply improvised to loft the ball over the infield, at one point clearing the slips with a deft uppercut for four. And when Dhoni pushed back his men to encourage Root to take singles, the Yorkshire batsman simply declined to run - a tactic that prompted pantomime boos from the crowd. With Test Match Special statistician Andrew Samson struggling to keep up with all the milestones, Anderson went past John Snow's 59 not out to set a new record for an England number 11 before the partnership reached 130 to eclipse England's all-time best, set by Tip Foster and Wilf Rhodes in 1903. When lunch was delayed by half an hour, it was ostensibly to give India time to take the final wicket. In fact, it merely gave Anderson and Root the time to write themselves into the record books. Their 164th run brought yet another ovation and the biggest cheer of all from the crowd, many of whom had probably been here a year ago to watch debutant Agar and Phil Hughes break the previous record of 151. During the interval, all the chat was about whether Anderson could get the 19 runs needed to become the first number 11 to reach three figures. And perhaps the opportunity to reflect on his achievements proved Anderson's undoing as, soon after the resumption, he edged Bhuvneshwar Kumar to slip to bring an unforgettable partnership to an end. "I'm disappointed not to get a 100," admitted Anderson. "I should have left that one but I gave it the kitchen sink and managed to get an edge. Joe got all the luck today with playing and missing. "I'd imagine that is the closest I will get to a 100. You never know, but I very much doubt I will get anywhere near that again." As one member of the press box pointed out Anderson had now scored more Test runs in 2014 than Cook - his one-time mentor in a buddy system for tail-enders - the 31-year-old sprinted back to the dressing-room to get ready for his day job. And it didn't take long for his mood to be transformed as Matt Prior dropped an early chance off his bowling to reprieve first innings centurion Vijay. In an instant, it was back to the old Jimmy Anderson: eyes narrowed, shoulders rounded, scowling and sinister as he returned to his mark. A grumpy fast bowler for ever. But a batting hero for a day.

Yahya Jammeh is accused of withdrawing the money via a state telecoms company. A court has ordered all his remaining assets in The Gambia to be frozen. Mr Jammeh flew into Equatorial Guinea after 22 years in power. He lost an election in December and only agreed to step down after regional powers sent in troops threatening to force him out. Luxury cars and other items were reportedly loaded on to a Chadian cargo plane as Mr Jammeh left the country. The amount was initially suggested to be more than $11m (£8.8m) by Interior Minister Mai Ahmad Fatty then an aide to new President Adam Barrow. But on Monday, Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou said that Mr Jammeh had withdrawn $50m between 2006 and 2016. He accused Mr Jammeh of directing the "unlawful withdrawals" from accounts held at The Gambia's central bank, linked to state-owned Gamtel either "personally or under his instructions". Mr Tambadou said a court order had frozen or temporarily held 88 accounts and 14 companies linked in some way to Mr Jammeh - amounting to all the politician's "known assets" remaining in The Gambia, as the country's new administration sought to prevent him "liquidating or dissipating" anything further. It has also been reported livestock, cars and properties have been seized. Three of his cousins have been arrested after selling his cattle. Mr Tambadou said the discoveries were "just a tip of the iceberg". Mr Jammeh has been out of contact since he left The Gambia and has not responded to the allegations.

The Gambia's former president stole "at least" $50m (£38.4m) from the state before he left the country in January, the justice minister has said.

The 28-year-old joined them from Welsh Pro12 rivals Scarlets in September 2012 amid a back-row injury crisis. He has since made more than 100 Dragons appearances, earning a reputation as a dogged performer. "I see a bright future for the Dragons with the number of talented youngsters coming through to play for the region," said Cudd. Dragons head coach Kingsley Jones, a former Wales open-side, said: "Nic has always been one of the most relentless and committed players in the squad who exudes humility and respect to all he associates with, hence it's no wonder why he is a fan favourite and so well-respected by his peers and opposing teams." Mikhail Kennedy put the visitors ahead early on in his professional debut. Karlan Ahearne-Grant doubled Charlton's lead from the spot after a foul on Kennedy in the box after the break. Ahmed Kashi added a spectacular third and Igor Vetokele made it four, before Jermaine Anderson headed a late goal for Peterborough. Former Scotland forward Commons, 33, had an emergency loan spell at Hibs last season and is now a free agent after leaving Celtic. "A lot of people know that me and [Hibs head coach] Neil [Lennon] really get on," Commons told BBC Radio Scotland. "But not only that, I really enjoyed my time at Hibs. It's a good time to be a part of the league." When asked on Sportsound whether Hibs was his likely next move, Commons said: "I said on a station the other day that, you know, it is in the pipeline. "I think what they're doing at the minute, along with the likes of Hearts and Aberdeen, they're really investing in this league and investing in players to make them better and try to bridge the gap between them and Celtic." Commons, who previously worked with Lennon at Parkhead, scored twice in five appearances for eventual Championship winners Hibs over December and January but did not feature for Celtic in season 2016-17, having scored 91 goals in 226 appearances for the club, winning five league titles. "I feel like it's the light at the end of the tunnel now," Commons said of his recovery from back problems. "I've had 12 months of really frustrating lows where I've had four epidurals. The next one was always going to be, 'right, this one should sort it out, you should be okay now'. But the problem never went away so the only outcome was an operation. "It's been three weeks now since I've had the back operation. I'm still just doing the basics and hopefully I can get the green light sooner rather than later so I can get back in the gym and get back on the training field and do what I do best. "Everything went well so I'm feeling a lot better. I'll not know just yet until I'm out there playing. "You want to be playing, you want to be going out at the top of the level that you're capable of. "If I can get back playing football then that would be ideal. You don't want to be hanging up the boots when they've not really been dirty." St Mary's in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire hosted 1,378 specimens, 124 more than last year - thought to be the then largest in the country. The festival, which raised £20,000 for charity in 2015, started with 100 trees 14 years ago. Not all the trees are real with one made of miniature beds and another of a rotating ladder and twisted metal. This year's festival will raise money for Home-Start and for the restoration of the church which will take most of 2017. Organiser Ian Neal said: "We've got a lot more artificial trees [than previously] but there's a lot of intrigue really. A roofing company made a tree totally out of their materials." Each tree is made by schools, community groups, organisations and companies from around Melton and further afield including one from the USA. From January, the church will be closed while the floor is raised, heating installed, a new sound system built and the organ - once played by Sir Malcolm Sargent - is getting a £150,000 overhaul. The creative arts service at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow is throwing open its doors this week to figures from the worlds of art and healthcare. They say exploring creativity can give people a measure of control back in their lives, at what is a difficult time. "I just got the taste of it," says John Jones of his art classes. His chalk picture of a seaside scene reminds him of day trips to the seaside when he was younger. It is partly a work of memory and partly imagination. The 54-year-old has been a day services patient at Glasgow's Hospice since early 2015 and it has helped him rediscover a love for art. A couple of his pieces hang on the walls of the art room and he has begun drawing at home too. The time spent in the light of this north-facing room is important to him. He says: "It's relaxation and doing something different. It keeps your mind occupied and away from things. Your mind is not centred on anything other than what you're doing." The art service was initially started in 2003 from a table in the corner of a room, now they have their own space where pictures cover the walls and there is a table full of pencils, chalk and paper. They also run services for families and carers. "When we meet people they've been given a difficult diagnosis and they've maybe lost a sense of control," says Jeni Pearson, an artist working at the hospice. "But in here they're completely in charge of every mark that they make. "It also allows them to discover new things and I think that's really important within palliative care, that there are opportunities for people to continue to learn and continue to grow as a person and discover new things about themselves." As well as drawing, patients and their families can print, sculpt, make music and write. The idea of inviting figures, including artists working within healthcare and palliative care professionals, is to promote interest and awareness. "A lot of patients come to a nurse-led clinic for anxieties and worries and fears about the future, about their family," says Jane Miller who is education facilitator and clinical nurse specialist at the hospice. "When they come into an art room, that all goes, they stop thinking about their disease and are just in the moment." Many people who start doing something creative at the hospice have never done anything like it before and that can mean the people taking part really surprising themselves. "There's a real energy in the room and you just get this sense that there's this really positive thing happening," concludes Jeni Pearson. US stock indexes pared slight losses at the opening bell to finish largely flat in cautious trading. The Dow Jones dropped 6 points at 19,884. the Nasdaq also lost 6 points at 5,636, while the S&P 500 rose 1 point to to 2,280. Non-farm payroll data is expected to show that US employers added 170,000 jobs in January. The unemployment rate is forecast to remain at 4.7%. Among individual stocks, Facebook fell 1.8% with profit figures overshadowed by a court ruling against its Oculus division. Among other large companies reporting earnings, shares in US oil producer ConocoPhillips finished slightly higher after it reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss. Ralph Lauren dropped 12.3% after the company said chief executive Stefan Larson would leave following differences with the company's founder and chairman. And digital imaging company Shutterfly fell 15.6% after reporting a 30.6% tumble in quarterly profits. Of 481 regular on-air presenters at the BBC, Sky, ITN and Channel 5 who are over 50, just 26 of them are female. The report was compiled by the Older Women's Commission, which was set up by Labour's shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman. Ms Harman said the figures showed "a combination of ageism and sexism... that doesn't apply to men." The figures showed that 30% of TV presenters are over 50, a figure that roughly corresponds to the 34% of the UK population aged 50 and above. Of the TV presenters aged over 50, however, 82% were men. When it came to the TV workforce both on and off screen, only 7% are women over the age of 50. Miriam O'Reilly, who successfully sued the BBC for age discrimination after she was dropped as a presenter on Countryfile, said the figures "raise the obvious questions of where have all the older women gone and why did they go? "Was it their choice to leave their jobs, or was it a decision forced upon them?" Following O'Reilly's case, a report by the Creative Diversity Network found that TV viewers were largely satisfied with the portrayal of different age ranges in the media But it showed some concern across all age groups about the lack of middle- and older-aged women on television. Harriet Harman said it was an "encouraging first step" that broadcasters had been open in providing the statistics. The Labour deputy leader owill be holding a round table with broadcasters in the House of Commons on Thursday. Campaign officials were informed on Friday that the Bush payroll is being reduced by 40%, with nearly all of its staff accepting pay cuts. Headquarters in Miami will also be cutting costs, with officials taking jobs elsewhere for lower pay. The campaign defended the decision and said the shifts would help Mr Bush in New Hampshire, Iowa and other states with early voting. Mr Bush, who has been banking on his last name and his standing as an establishment Republican, is struggling to keep up in a crowded field that is being led in polls by anti-establishment names like businessman Donald Trump and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson. In the third quarter of this year, Mr Bush raised $13.4 million (£8.7 million), a much lower amount than the early days of his campaign. He has about $10.3 million left. Mr Bush is not the only Republican this campaign cycle to reduce or cut staff salaries. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker did so, too, and closed his candidacy shortly after, as well as former Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has dropped out. So what does the announcement mean for Mr Bush's campaign? It's never a good sign when a presidential campaign has to start cutting staff and budget, said Dr Alan Abramowitz, a professor of political science at Emory University. That is especially true for a candidate like Mr Bush, who wanted to raise enough money initially to "frighten other candidates out of the race," he said. "That obviously didn't happen," he said. "The fact that he's been doing so poorly in national polls and early [voting] states is a pretty bad sign." So the correct move is to re-focus efforts on states like New Hampshire, because if he loses there, the campaign is in trouble, Mr Abramowitz said. But despite that strategy, cutting costs does not look good. "You're seeing donors, establishment and business Republicans, very worried about his performance and starting to go elsewhere," he said. "It's definitely a bad sign for Bush ... one of several bad Bush signs." Figures from third-quarter filings Normally, a leading candidate would raise visibility, improve fundraising and increase the size of staff as the nominating campaign goes on - not cut staff early on, said Paul Herrnson, a professor of political science at the University of Connecticut. "Cutting staff at this point in the game is not a positive," Mr Herrnson said. "When a campaign shrinks, it has to take action, which happens regardless of what other candidates are doing." Some Republican donors, seeing that the polls are being dominated by Mr Trump and Mr Carson, may give more money now, anticipating those frontrunners both may lose popularity over time. Others may be more wary after hearing the staff-cutting news. "Some may see the campaign as stalled and decided to step back and wait and see what happens," Mr Herrnson said. In the background are super PACS, which raise millions but cannot directly contribute to the campaign. Right to Rise USA, a super PAC supporting Mr Bush, ran about 1,800 television ads this week, while the official Jeb Bush campaign ran zero. Some have said the cost-cutting news should not be over-interpreted and it is not necessarily a bad sign. Mr Bush's camp has realised that the strategic playing field has changed, and is changing its ways to follow suit, said David Rehr, a professor at the George Washington University School of Political Management. "It was prudent to adjust spending to the reality of the landscape, and to have a business-like approach to management of cash flow," Mr Rehr said. Expectations for Mr Bush were higher than what has played out, so fundraising is becoming harder, and expenses must be adjusted, he said. "He's playing for the long haul," Mr Rehr said. "He doesn't want to be Rick Perry." Mr Perry's campaign ended when his fundraising dried up. While re-organising finances may be a good business move, how does it actually look to the average voter? It may have an impact on Mr Bush's momentum, but Mr Rehr is not so quick to write him off yet. "You never want to appear like you're retreating or constricting… but none of this really matters," Mr Rehr said. "When Iowa or New Hampshire comes, no one is going to think about October's Bush reduction in salaries." The fire broke out on Wednesday afternoon behind wood panelling in the arcade building. The metal skeleton has survived. Chief fire officer Des Pritchard said the outgoing tide and low water pressure had hampered crews, but their hard work had "paid off". Eastbourne MP Stephen Lloyd said he was confident the pier could be repaired. "It's still very much still standing, and I'm very hopeful and confident that it will be reopening next year and be back in business," he said. He said the extent of the damage could not be compared with piers in Brighton or Hastings, which both suffered more significant blazes. No-one was injured and the fire is not being treated as suspicious. Eastbourne Borough Council leader David Tutt said he understood the fire had been started by an electrical fault. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said the cause was "unexplained" and the investigation was due to take "a number of days". Mr Pritchard said: "Pier fires are very difficult to fight because there's only one way on to the pier from the land side. "Our crews worked tremendously well and whilst some of the pictures in the media show what might be a scene of devastation, our crews managed to save two thirds of the pier." He said most of the hotspots had been extinguished overnight, with RNLI lifeboat crews assisting. BBC Sussex reporter Simon Jenkins Looking towards the pier, if you start on the outer pavilion that's absolutely fine. You move back along it and then you come to effectively a skeleton of steel and twisted iron. It's a blackened hulk of twisted metal. People are shocked, people are concerned and they're coming down to check if the rest of it is still here. Kay Healy, who works at the History Bear Collection on the pier, said the attraction was very busy when the fire alarm went off. "When we walked towards the front of the pier there was smoke coming out of the arcade," she said. "The pier was packed... it took five minutes to get people off. "There was no panic, no-one running, just walking." She said it took at least 30 minutes before bystanders to see the flames. "When we went to the other side of the pier, we realised how serious it was," Ms Healy said. "The fire crew was trying to smash the roof in to get the hoses in and then all of a sudden the flames came from everywhere. It was horrendous." Anthony Wills, director of the National Piers Society, said getting funds to repair it could be a challenge. "The problem with Eastbourne Pier is that it's privately owned. "It's owned by the people who own the piers at Blackpool so they're not eligible for Lottery money in the way that Hastings has been," he said. "Hastings has received a Lottery award of £11.5m towards the £15m estimate for rebuilding. That is a major hurdle." Mr Lloyd met with the pier's owners, business leaders and councillors to discuss the blaze and its aftermath earlier. Darren Weir, chairman of the Eastbourne Hospitality Association, said the organisation was setting up a pier benevolence fund for staff who might be temporarily out of work It would also help to find out if there are any temporary jobs available for displaced staff, he said. BBC weather presenter Michael Fish, who was born in the town, tweeted: "Devastated. My childhood up in smoke. Eastbourne's pier must be rebuilt. It was the most attractive in the country." "Baldy", as she became known, was captured "for her own safety" in a park in Dunstable in November. The squirrel's total lack of fur and fluffy tail were thought to be genetic. Staff from wildlife hospital Tiggywinkles, where Baldy was being treated, confirmed she died from natural causes. A spokeswoman for the Aylesbury hospital said Baldy died before the results of a biopsy came back, but it was "likely" the cancer was the cause of her death. Read more on this story and others from Beds, Herts & Bucks Bedfordshire Wildlife Rescue, which saved the squirrel in November, wrote on its Facebook page on Wednesday: "I have sad news about the bald squirrel from Grove Park, Dunstable, I'm afraid. "Tiggywinkles took the squirrel in for us and have been amazingly kind and helpful. They carried out tests to see if her baldness could be cured, but very sadly the tests showed skin cancer." Dozens of people have paid tribute to Baldy on social media. One wrote: "Poor little thing. Lovely to know there are good people out there and she died in comfort. RIP little squirrel." Another said: "So glad she was rescued before all of the last week's freezing weather hit. Bless her. Climb free little squirrel." West Midlands Ambulance Service said it was called to the A423 Oxford Road in Princethorpe at about 21:15 BST on Saturday. The motorcyclist suffered "multiple traumatic injuries" and he was confirmed dead at the scene, the ambulance service said. The car driver and his passenger, a boy, did not require hospital treatment. More than 27,000 people signed a petition against the proposed Midland Pig Producers (MPP) farm near Foston. The Environment Agency said the questions concerned the facility's air filtration system. MPP said it did not meet the first deadline because the independent expert chosen to analyse data was unwell. The Environment Agency said the new deadline was now 30 April. A spokeswoman for MPP said: "The Environment Agency requested some additional information which we are happy to provide. "However, unfortunately, the independent expert who has been asked to undertake analysis of our data has been unwell, meaning that we could not provide the requested information by 31 January. "Therefore we requested and were granted a short extension." Dominic West, who starred in US crime drama The Wire, and chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, both oppose the project due to its size. The petition was set up over fears for the welfare of the animals. MPP had said the proposed farm will protect welfare standards and, thanks to sophisticated filtration systems, neighbours will not be affected by smells or pollution. European Commission said it had "unconditionally approved" Peugeot's move to buy the European division of General Motors (GM). It said it had concluded that "the transaction would raise no competition concerns in the relevant markets". Vauxhall employs 4,500 people in the UK at plants in Ellesmere Port and Luton. Elsewhere in Europe, Opel employs about 33,500 staff in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Spain and Italy. GM agreed the sale of its European division, on which it has not made a profit since 1999, to Peugeot in March. In 2016 it lost $257m (£206m), making it the 16th consecutive loss-making year for GM in Europe, bringing its cumulated losses on the continent since 2000 to more than $15bn. The deal will mean that Peugeot becomes Europe's second-biggest carmaker, after Volkswagen. It will enable the firm to boost its presence in the UK and to re-enter the US market, which Citroen left in 1974 and Peugeot exited in 1991. In its statement, the European Commission said that in terms of the manufacture and sale of motor vehicles, the two firms had a combined market share of more than 40% in only two national markets, Estonia and Portugal, for small commercial vehicles. "In the other affected markets, the market shares remain small," it added. "The Commission investigation also showed that the merged entity will still face strong competition from manufacturers such as Renault, Volkswagen, Daimler, Ford, Fiat and various Asian competitors." After the customary references to Margaret Thatcher and Robert Peel, she mentioned someone not usually held up in the pantheon of Tory pin-ups - the great Birmingham political figure, Joseph Chamberlain. Perhaps we shouldn't have been too surprised, her co-chief of staff and most trusted adviser Nick Timothy (a Brummie), is known to be an enormous fan. So much so, he wrote a book about him. But who was Joseph Chamberlain? Chamberlain was a maverick, a Victorian chameleon. Arguably he was Britain's first truly modern political figure, an industrialist and businessman who made his way to the cabinet. He was certainly the first major politician to forge his career in local government. Although not a Brummie by birth, he made the city his adopted home. The son of Unitarian parents, he built a profitable business manufacturing screws in the city but was not impressed by the conditions in which his workers had to live. After 30 years of rapid industrial expansion, Birmingham was choking on its own filth. The centre was a convoluted warren of factories, slums and grime. Rival water and gas companies competed with each other mercilessly and yet had each singularly failed to provide the population with a reliable water or power supply. Chamberlain changed all of that. In just three short years as mayor, he transformed the city from an oversized slum to one of the most advanced cities in the world. He took the gas and water supplies into city ownership and provided its residents with the cleanest and most effective water and power supplies anywhere in the country. He ploughed the proceeds into new housing, sewers and civic buildings, a new museum and art gallery, a grand boulevard to rival any street in Paris - today's Corporation Street - and a university. He was the man who built Birmingham. So, an admirable figure for an incoming Tory prime minister to laud? Well, sure, save for the minor detail, that he wasn't a Conservative. Chamberlain started his political life as a Liberal but split from party over the prime minister William Gladstone's policy of Home Rule in Ireland. An avowed imperialist, he took a sizeable cohort of his party's MPs with him, forming the Liberal Unionists. Eventually, the Liberal Unionists and the Conservatives merged, forming the Conservative and Unionist Party - the name remains today. Theresa May referenced this in her speech, reminding the audience of her party's full name. This was of course a signal of her commitment to the union between the different countries of the United Kingdom, but it was also a nod to something else - the political and intellectual tradition Chamberlain epitomises, the union between Conservatism's upper class base and the working people of Britain. Chamberlain and the Liberal Unionists changed the Conservative Party. They brought with them a focus on the working class and policies that would appeal to them. The Tory Party before Chamberlain hadn't just been a party of the aristocracy and shires, Disraeli had been instrumental in extending the right to vote to many more working men, but without Chamberlain, they wouldn't have had that rich seam of municipal conservatism and social reform on which to draw. Chamberlain was instrumental in persuading Tory prime ministers Lord Salisbury and Arthur Balfour to engage in a number of important social reforms which helped the Conservatives attract new working class support. The Liberal Unionists gave them access to part of the electorate with whom they otherwise would have had little resonance - the skilled working class. The working class Tory remained an important part of the Conservative coalition which went on to govern Britain for 66 out of 100 years of the 20th Century. In the 1990s and 2000s, however, that support eroded. Even in the 2010 and 2015 elections, the Conservatives struggled to appeal in urban Britain and to a significant proportion of the population who felt "left behind" by globalisation and free-market economics. As the recent Brexit vote demonstrated, that part of the electorate is growing and angry. Theresa May and Nick Timothy appear to be stealing some of Chamberlain's clothes and approach in an attempt to win them back. But this would be quite a shift. Chamberlain does not sit within the tradition of free market, laissez-faire economics and enthusiasm for globalisation to which the Tory party has been committed since the days of Margaret Thatcher. He was a full-throated economic interventionist, called a "gas and water socialist" by his enemies on the right. He took profit-making private enterprises into public hands, declaring that "profit was irrelevant". It's difficult to imagine any Conservative politician from the last 40 years saying the same. Moreover, he was a protectionist, arguing for tariffs on goods from all countries outside of the British Empire. And what would a Chamberlain approach mean in practice? Well we've already seen hints of it from the new PM. An industrial strategy, the government intervening in markets to protect certain industries; workers on company boards; economic protectionism - note her delay of the Hinkley Point project - a reduction in immigration and a greater focus on devolution of powers to cities and local government. Chamberlain never became prime minister but he and his sons, Austen and Neville dominated politics in Birmingham and the Conservative Party up to the Second World War. He split with the Liberal Party over Ireland, and the Tories over trade, but nonetheless, he seems to be back in vogue. But if Chamberlain really does prove to be Mrs May's inspiration, then Tories across the country should brace themselves for a bit of a shock. Because he really would represent the biggest intellectual shift the party has made since the mid-1970s. Churchill said of Chamberlain that he was a politician who "made the weather". If Theresa May is serious about reawakening this strand of Conservative thinking, she may well yet do the same. Lewis Goodall was reporting for BBC Newsnight. You can watch his report here Craig Young was the star bowler for the Warriors as he took five wickets to prevent the Lightning from retaining the trophy in front of their home fans. Stuart Thompson top scored as the Warriors passed their victory target in the final over. Elsewhere, the Northern Knights beat the Munster Reds by 55 runs. Young removed Andrew Balbirnie and Simi Singh in his opening burst, and returned to dismiss George Dockrell, Eddie Richardson and Peter Chase - finishing with excellent figures of 5-22. The Lightning were struggling on 62-6 in the 12th over before Lorcan Tucker staged a mini-revival to salvage a score of 118 all out. Despite the early departures of the Warriors' David Rankin and Irosh Samarasooriya, the result was never in doubt. Stuart Thompson top scored with 43 from 49 balls before captain Andy McBrine struck the winning boundary from the first ball of the last over. At Middle Road, the Northern Knights ran out convincing winners over the Munster Reds. James Shannon top scored with 67 runs from just 31 balls as the Knights set an imposing target for 210 for the Reds. The visitors recovered from the first ball departure of Jamie Grassi but the end of Jack Tector's knock of 31 spelt the end of their chances. The Warriors victory means the T20 trophy will now go down to the final round of games with Lightning still needing a point from their trip to Cork to secure a third successive title. The Warriors will travel to the Knights hoping for a slip-up by the defending champions. Northern Knights v Munster Reds at Carrickfergus Northern Knights: 209-5; J Shannon 67, C Dougherty 42, G Thompson 37 Munster Reds: 154-9; S Grobler 41 no, J Tector 31, N Smith 2-22 Northern Knights won by 55 runs Leinster Lightning v North-West Warriors at Merrion Leinster Lightning: 118-10 (19.3 overs); L Tucker 44, C Young 5-22, A McBrine 2-23 North-West Warriors: 119-3 (19.1 overs); S Thompson 43, G Kennedy 38 no North-West Warriors won by seven wickets The urge to demonstrate is the urge for mutual reassurance. When terrible things happen, first we rush for shelter. Then we re-emerge to show each other that we are all still alive. It is probably what cavemen did when the sabre-toothed tigers passed by. This week in Paris, many people felt the instinct to hasten home. Murder stalked the streets. At one point on Thursday we heard that the Kouachi brothers were driving back to town. There were police marksmen at the city gates. Something primal said: Stay with your loved ones. But then it was over. And now the urge is to come back on to the streets and to reclaim the land. That is what it has felt like through the extraordinary scenes of Sunday. People have made the comparison with the Liberation demonstrations in 1944, and it is apt. It is apt not just in terms of numbers, but also in how at that moment too French men and women were putting down a marker: France is ours. But people demonstrate also because they are afraid. People demonstrate for causes that they feel are under threat. Demonstrating reveals our insecurity. We demonstrate because we want the hope that comes from knowing there are others who feel as we do. In France, national unity was the theme of Sunday's monster rally. But by the logic of demonstrations, national unity is therefore not nearly as secure as the outpouring of mass emotion would tend to suggest. If you want a sobering counterblast to the dominant mood, have a look at the "Je ne suis pas Charlie" Facebook page. It has received more than 21,000 likes in the last few days. The mainly Muslim French people who have given a thumbs-up to the page are not supporters of violence. The vast majority have no truck with the Kouachis and Coulibaly. But they also make clear they will not take part in a national movement that backs people who insulted the Prophet Muhammad. Over and again they express their anger at what they see as double standards: Why so much fuss over 17 dead when thousands have died in Gaza and Syria? Why is it all right for Charlie Hebdo to mock Islam when the controversial comic Dieudonne M'bala M'bala is prosecuted for mocking Jews? Why is one defined as "inciting hatred" and not the other? Then there are the schools in the high-immigration banlieues where the minute's silence on Thursday in memory of the Charlie Hebdo victims was interrupted by pupils or not observed at all. France-Info - the national news radio station that normally plays down dissent in the banlieues - ran an extensive report on it, with quotes from distressed teachers. And if you really want to be shocked, there is a "Je suis Kouachi" hashtag which was briefly trending on Twitter on Saturday. All of which only goes to prove that there are many French men and women who feel their primary attachment is to Islam, not to the Enlightenment values of post-18th Century Europe. They feel a constant sense of humiliation, and where they can, they strike back. Normally in petty acts of insubordination. But sometimes in terror. So France is not united, and the danger is real. But that is why demonstrations matter. People take part because they work. Seeing such vast numbers of people - of all faiths and backgrounds - united behind a single idea was indeed a moving and uplifting experience. At the end of a horrid week, morale is back. For a time at least, we are reassured. The Labour candidate retained his seat with 89,749 votes - his nearest rival was the Conservative candidate Tony Harper with 56,105 votes. The overall turnout for the Nottinghamshire PCC election was 21.8%. Nottinghamshire County Councillor Jason Zadrozny, who is accused of historical child sex offences, lost his £5,000 deposit after getting only 7,164 votes. He announced his candidacy in the PCC elections following a court hearing, claiming the allegations were a "politically-motivated attack". Mr Tipping was previously Labour MP for Sherwood in Nottinghamshire from 1992 to 2010. He said he was "really excited" to serve as PCC for a second time, having first been elected in November 2012.

It comes as the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said not enough people are switching their current accounts. After an 18-month study, the CMA concluded that only 3% of customers moved account in 2014. The government said consumers should have better access to their personal data, to help them change supplier. And it launched a public consultation, to see how switching rates can be improved. In the last 12 months, the number of people in the UK switching their bank account has fallen by 14%, according to figures. In the year to September 2015, the Current Account Switching Service (CASS) said 1.03 million had changed provider. That is little more than were switching before September 2013, when the seven-day switching service was launched. The CMA previously said that only 8% of consumers had switched accounts in the last three years, compared with 45% of consumers who had switched car insurance provider. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) published new "principles "for switching, including: Most of the large banks already offer a service known as Midata. This enables account holders to see a summary of all their transactions, as well as the charges they have paid. Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Nationwide, RBS, Santander and Tesco Bank provide such downloads to their customers. The data can then be used on a price comparison site, Gocompare, to make switching easier. In addition, Tesco Bank tells customers what interest they would have earned, had they put their money in a savings account rather than leaving it in a current account. Consumers are now being asked for their own ideas on how switching could be improved. The consultation ends on 4 December. Tomkins has not played for nine months after suffering a knee injury playing for New Zealand Warriors. The 27-year-old, who agreed his return to Wigan for a fee of over £200,000 in April 2015, will be in the squad for Friday's game against Hull FC. "I'm glad it's finally come to the time to get my boots on and get out there," he told BBC Radio Manchester. "I've been training now with the boys for three or fours weeks. The last week has been full training and once you're in that and feel good it's tough to not put your hand up and play. "The first few months were very tough - obviously when I signed back last year I didn't think I'd be sitting on the sidelines. "It ended up doing a bit of helping out with Lewis Tierney at full-back and that gave me a bit of a focus, but the last month has flown by once I started training." Tomkins spent two years at NRL side Warriors, but cited homesickness as one of the factors for his return to Super League. "I'm realistic," he added. "I'm not going to be coming out on Friday and be absolutely flying and in my best form. "It's not the case of as soon as you're fit you're in your best form, that might take a while, but I can certainly add something to the team, I'm not going to be a weak link." The property in Penn Road completely collapsed in the blast, suspected to have been caused by a gas leak. The woman, who was trapped for about two hours, suffered cuts, bruises and a broken ankle and was taken to hospital. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said the woman was "extraordinarily lucky" not to have been seriously hurt. One man who lives nearby said: "Our house just shook - we woke up immediately and my partner was screaming and we thought there was something a lot closer. We heard sirens going off for about 30 minutes. "It took me a second to work out what had happened, I walked down to have a look, and I could see the two other houses - but the house wasn't there. It was just rubble." Two neighbours and a taxi driver who witnessed the explosion as he was driving past, were treated for shock. There is debris on the street, which has been shut between Lonsdale Road and Claremont Road. Emergency services advised the public to avoid the area. Fernando Paolo and colleagues used 18 years of data from European radar satellites to compile their assessment. In the first half of that period, the total losses from these tongues of ice that jut out from the continent amounted to 25 cubic km per year. But by the second half, this had jumped to 310 cubic km per annum. "For the decade before 2003, ice-shelf volume for all Antarctica did not change much," said Mr Paolo from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, US. "Since then, volume loss has been significant. The western ice shelves have been persistently thinning for two decades, and earlier gains in the eastern ice shelves ceased in the most recent decade," he told BBC News. The satellite research is published in Science Magazine. It is a step up from previous studies, which provided only short snapshots of behaviour. Here, the team has combined the data from three successive orbiting altimeter missions operated by the European Space Agency (Esa). The findings demonstrate the value of continuous, long-term, cross-calibrated time series of information. Many of Antarctica's ice shelves are huge. The one protruding into the Ross Sea is the size of France. They form where glacier ice running off the continent protrudes across water. At a certain point, the ice lifts off the seabed and floats. Eventually, as these shelves continue to push outwards, their fronts will calve, forming icebergs. If the losses to the ocean balance the gains on land though precipitation of snows, this entirely natural process contributes nothing to sea level rise. But if thinning weakens the shelves so that land ice can flow faster towards the sea, this will kick the system out of kilter. Repeat observations now show this to be the case across much of West Antarctica. "If this thinning continues at the rates we report, some of the ice shelves in West Antarctica that we've observed will disappear by the end of this century," said Scripps co-author Helen Amanda Fricker. "A number of these ice shelves are holding back 1m to 3m of sea level rise in the grounded ice. And that means that ultimately this ice will be delivered into the oceans and we will see global sea-level rise on that order." Prof Fricker was speaking on this week's Science In Action programme on the BBC World Service. Various studies have now confirmed that the land, or grounded, ice in Antarctica is losing mass. Esa's current polar observing spacecraft, known as Cryosat, recently reported that the continent's ice sheet was diminishing at a rate of 160 billion tonnes a year. Cryosat found the average elevation of the full ice sheet to be falling annually by almost 2cm. It is thought that all this thinning is predominantly the consequence of warm water getting under the floating ice at the continent's margins to melt it from below. This warmer water appears to be being drawn towards Antarctica by stronger westerly winds in the Southern Ocean. But the precise drivers at work and their scale are poorly understood. And until scientists get a better grasp of some of these issues, their ability to project future change will be limited. Prof David Vaughan is the director of science at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and was not involved in the Paolo paper. He commented: "We need three components: we need to understand the changes in the grounded ice; how the floating ice is behaving; and finally how the oceanographic conditions under the floating ice have changed. With those three things, we have the basis for building really good models. Ten years ago, we didn't have any one of those elements. Today, we've made good progress on two, but on the oceanographic side we're only just beginning." BAS recently placed moorings in the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica to gather data on ocean conditions. In the same sector, BAS also sent a sub under the floating shelf ahead of Pine Island Glacier to better understand how water moves under the ice. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The report by Save the Children says it is impossible to be completely certain how she caught the virus. However, it said the different safety protocols used for removing visors and goggles, was the most likely explanation. Ms Cafferkey made a full recovery after being treated in London. An independent panel, led by Public Health England, reviewed the case. Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children, said: "We will never be 100% sure how Pauline contracted Ebola, but the independent panel found that it is most likely, though not conclusive, she acquired her illness while working at the Ebola Treatment Centre at Kerry Town in Sierra Leone. "Working under such intense and challenging conditions, however, cannot be without risk. "Although there is no conclusive evidence, the panel suggests that Pauline's use of a visor, within a context geared to the use of goggles, was the most likely cause of her contracting Ebola." Visors are recommended by the World Health Organization, and are used by the UK Ministry of Defence. Save the Children uses goggles. The full report said both options were equally safe. However, there are key differences in the way the different types of protective equipment are safely removed. Ms Cafferkey had been trained to use a visor before being re-deployed to the Save the Children centre, but was not able use their goggles "because she could not get them to fit properly," the report said. Mr Forsyth said 'action might not have been taken quickly' enough to identify any problems. But he said lessons have been learned. Speaking after being discharged from the Royal Free Hospital, in London, Ms Cafferkey, from Cambuslang, in South Lanarkshire, thanked staff who she said had saved her life. She told the BBC: "I am just happy to be alive. I still don't feel 100%, I feel quite weak, but I'm looking forward to going home." However, she said she was "definitely frightened" having witnessed the virus first hand in Sierra Leone. "Obviously at the back of my mind I had seen what could happen and what could potentially happen to me." Ms Cafferkey was treated with blood plasma from an Ebola survivor and an experimental treatment drug closely related drug to ZMapp, which UK nurse Will Pooley was treated with after he contracted Ebola. Touching photos captured at last October's WellChild awards showed the prince embracing Ollie Carroll, six, who has Batten disease. The rare condition means he is unable to speak or walk, but his parents said he "found the strength" to throw his arms around Prince Harry at the bash. They spent an hour "making memories" at Great Ormond Street Hospital earlier. Ollie, from Poynton, Cheshire, and his family, said they would "treasure" the experience forever. A Kensington Palace spokeswoman described the reunion at the London hospital on Tuesday as a "private visit". The occasion was not an official engagement. Ollie and his sister Amelia, who also suffers from Batten disease, were in the hospital getting treatment. Writing on their Facebook page, Ollie's mum Lucy said he and his sister had been granted access to a pioneering treatment for CNL2 Batten Disease and she had written to the prince to tell him they "finally had some hope". "We thanked him for giving our son the strength to stand when we thought this was no longer possible," she said. "On Tuesday whilst at Great Ormond Street Hospital getting treatment, Ollie and Amelia got a very special personal visit from Prince Harry. "For an hour Prince Harry sat with us talking and playing with our children, laughing and making memories. "The love, the support and the laughter within that treatment room will stay with us forever." The prince is patron of WellChild, which provides specialist care and support for chronically-ill children. Slowing growth in China, collapsing oil prices, and now a bear market in shares all contribute to a scary scenario. Despite the odd short-term respite, stock markets in the UK, France and Japan have now dipped by more than 20% since their peak in April last year. The value of companies quoted on the FTSE 100 has fallen by no less than £396bn since then - that is, more than £6,000 per person in the UK. "As markets globally enter bear territory, we have started to see panic creep into the market," says Adrian Lowcock, head of investing at AXA Wealth. "This can cause investors to act irrationally and increase volatility in the short term." So how much are ordinary people affected, and if you are affected, how much should you worry? Even if you don't own shares directly, most workers in the UK now pay into an occupational pension scheme, thanks in part to the government's auto-enrolment programme. Such schemes are mostly - but not totally - invested in shares. The value of such schemes will have fallen significantly, and for those in defined contribution schemes, eventual pay-outs will look significantly smaller than they did nine months ago. That will be a problem if you are about to retire and you need to use your pension fund to buy an income immediately. If you can, experts advise holding off buying an annuity, for example, until share prices recover. "You might be better served drawing an income from your fund in the short term, or looking to other savings," says Tom McPhail of Hargreaves Lansdown. For example, Hargreaves Lansdown calculates that someone buying an annuity with a £50,000 fund would now get an annual income £433 lower than if they had bought it last April. If you are some way off retirement, there may be no need to worry. Unless capitalism itself is under threat, markets will recover - eventually. Those who still pay into a final-salary scheme will not be affected at all, as such schemes promise a particular annual income. However, collapsing share prices could further threaten the viability of such schemes, should they persist. Members could be asked to increase their contributions as a result. In any case, many pension funds will not have been hit as badly as the FTSE 100, with its bias towards oil and mining companies. The following areas have performed much better: In other words, although most pension funds will have lost some of the value of your savings, many will not have lost as much as the headlines suggest. Slowing growth in China, and fears that its currency has further to fall, constitute one reason for the current turmoil. There is good reason for that: China has been responsible for half the world's growth since the financial crisis. Indeed, falling Chinese demand is one factor behind the collapsing oil price, which itself has hit the value of companies such as Shell and BP, in which so many pension funds are invested. But some experts already think that the pessimism may have been overdone. "For instance, the global economy is growing around 3%, and whilst China's economy - which is the focus of so much of the recent sell-offs - has slowed, there's still growth, strong consumption, and indeed the world's second-largest economy does look relatively stable," says Nigel Green, chief executive of the advisory De Vere Group. As far as oil is concerned, Bob Dudley, the boss of BP, expects prices to rebound this year to as much as $50 a barrel. It takes a brave investor to buy oil shares now, but even if they don't go up in value, they are currently paying high dividends. If Shell were to maintain its payout, for example, new investors could make a 9% return. BP's dividend is currently more than 7%. In principle, investors are usually advised to buy - not sell - shares when they are cheap. But equally, experts say it is hard to call the bottom of the market. Yet for those paying into pension funds on a regular basis, it is worth noting that you are currently buying shares cheaply anyway. This is known as dollar/pound cost averaging. Losses you make on having bought shares expensively in the past should be matched by the better value you are getting now. "Long-term stock ownership is, typically, the best way to create and grow wealth for investors," says Nigel Green. "Stock markets can be fairly predictable over long periods of time." If small investors do want to dip their toe in the water, Jason Hollands, of Tilney Bestinvest, thinks markets in Europe and Japan offer the best value, largely because their central banks are likely to introduce further stimulus for their economies. "Both regions are already printing money, but are nowhere near their target rates of inflation, and therefore there is a real prospect of them stepping harder on the accelerator, which would support asset prices," he says. Overall, Nigel Green offers four top tips: Two British nationals were among the injured, a spokesman confirmed. There are also concerns for David Dixon, an IT programmer from Nottingham, whose family said had not been seen since the attacks. Friends said Mr Dixon has lived in Brussels for 10 years with his partner and their young son. He travelled to work every day on the city's Metro, but has not answered his phone or made contact since the explosions. His partner Charlotte Sutcliffe spent the day driving from hospital to hospital in Brussels trying to find him. Twin blasts hit Zaventem airport at about 07:00 GMT on Tuesday, with 11 people reported killed. Another explosion at Maelbeek metro station near EU headquarters an hour later left about 20 people dead. Brussels police have issued a wanted notice for a man seen pushing a luggage trolley through the airport. Security at ports, airports, Tube and major railway stations in the UK has been stepped up. David Cameron condemned the attacks, which have been claimed by so-called Islamic State, and warned of "a very real terror threat" across Europe. Specialist police from the UK have been sent to Brussels to help with the investigation. The prime minister will chair a second Cobra security meeting to determine the UK's response to the attacks on Wednesday morning. The Foreign Office said embassy staff were "providing consular assistance to two injured Britons and are ready to support any further British nationals that have been affected". Britons in Brussels were told "to remain alert and vigilant, and stay away from crowded places". An emergency number for those worried a relative may have been affected has been issued - 020 7008 0000. Latest updates on Brussels attacks What we know so far In pictures: Brussels explosions Why was Brussels attacked? Full coverage The UK's most senior counter-terrorism officer, Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, said increased police activity in the UK was a precaution and not in response to any specific threat. In London, he said, the Met Police were putting more officers on duty to carry out patrols at key locations. Home Secretary Theresa May said security checks at UK borders were being increased "to ensure public safety and provide public reassurance". She told MPs there would be more searching of vehicles and greater use of search dogs. The Belgian flag is being flown at half mast above Downing Street. Mr Cameron chaired an emergency Cobra meeting to determine the UK's response to the attacks, and said Britain would do all it could to help the Belgian authorities. "These are appalling and savage terrorist attacks and I've just spoken to the prime minister of Belgium to give our sympathies and our condolences to the Belgian people," Mr Cameron said. "They could just as well be attacks in Britain or in France or Germany, or elsewhere in Europe and we need to stand together against these appalling terrorists and make sure they can never win." Mr Cameron said UK authorities were continuing to review information coming in - and would raise the terror threat level if there was information of a direct threat. The terror threat level has been at "severe" since August 2014, meaning an attack is highly likely. By BBC home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds Airports are generally designed around a clear security "line" after which people pass into the "airside" area - in effect a security bubble. This protects the aircraft as much as the airport. The Brussels bombs were detonated outside the bubble, in the terminal before the security check. Passengers will wonder why there are no security scanners at the door of the airport, or the entrance to the car park. Should we move the line of security? The problem is that this simply moves the place where the queue forms. And queues are the ideal soft target for a terrorist. Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, often cited as the world's most secure, relies on profiling. Passengers are closely watched and intensively questioned about who they are and where they are going. Some experts swear by it, but it has been criticised as "politically incorrect". Meanwhile, the UK government stresses the importance of good intelligence. But even if it was possible to fully protect air travellers, there are plenty of other places where crowds gather, which could be targeted instead. Read more: Airport security under the spotlight The attacks come four days after Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Paris attacks, was captured in Brussels. The Belgian federal prosecutor said it was "probably a suicide bomber" who struck the airport. Police in the UK have appealed for any British nationals who were in Brussels and may have images or footage of the incidents to come forward and assist the investigation. They have set up a website where images and videos can be uploaded. In the latest developments: Gary Carter, 36, a freelance rugby league reporter from Manchester, was found with head injuries outside Bethnal Green station on 6 November. The Met Police said they were called to an altercation between two men. James Flanagan, 35, of Kentish Town, north-west London, pleaded guilty at magistrates court on Saturday. More on this story and news from London He was released on bail and will be sentenced on 24 November at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Mr Carter's wife, Gemma Carter, had tweeted: "Pray for my husband #rflfamily", referencing his role within the rugby league community. She also thanked well-wishers for their "amazing support during this very difficult time" and added "[I'm] praying @GaryCarter_1979 will pull through". A 22-year-old man who was also arrested in connection with the incident on suspicion of affray towards attending paramedics, has been released on bail. After England's 9-2 defeat to New Zealand at the nearby Olympic Stadium on Saturday, national coach Steve McNamara sent a message to The Sun reporter. "The England team sends its best wishes to him and his family and hope he makes a full and speedy recovery," he said. Texas native Bakari Henderson, 22, was brutally attacked after he left a bar following a dispute, police said. Six Serbian nationals, a 34-year-old Greek and a 32-year-old British national of Serbian descent were detained after CCTV footage emerged. A seventh Serbian tourist is also being questioned, Greek news agency ANA said. Mr Henderson suffered severe head injuries in the attack at the coastal resort of Laganas, and was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital. Witnesses reportedly told police he angered one of the bouncers when he and his friends tried to take a selfie with a waitress. Footage later obtained by the police shows Mr Henderson being attacked by a group of men outside a shop. The suspects are accused of beating Mr Henderson and leaving him unconscious in the street. Police have reportedly ruled out racism or nationalism as a motive for the attack. Mr Henderson's friend, Travis Jenkins, earlier told ABC News that it was unlike him to get into a street brawl. "Bakari was not one to act aggressively like that," Mr Jenkins said, adding: "He was always the one who was the peacemaker." Mr Henderson graduated last month from the University of Arizona with a degree in business finance and entrepreneurship. His family said they were "devastated" by his death. "Bakari loved spending time with family and friends, travelling and meeting new people," a family statement said. "He was a big thinker and enjoyed coming up with new business ventures. Bakari was an inspiration to all he met." The recent graduate was in Greece working on a photo shoot for a new clothing line, according to his family. Mr Henderson's family is working with the US state department to recover his body while a GoFundMe page to help the family with the costs involved in "bringing back the body of Bakari and all funeral expenses" has raised nearly $60,000 (£46,000) of its $80,000 target. Ex-Ulster winger and Scotland winger Simon Danielli, 37, is accused of assaulting his estranged wife, Olivia, and damaging her i-phone. Meanwhile, the former model and mother-of-three has been charged with damaging Mr Danielli's luxury car. Both cases have now been adjourned until 18 October. The Edinburgh-born rugby player faces two counts of common assault against Mrs Danielli, as well as a charge of common assault against Michael Browne on 11 March 2015. Mr Danielli, of the Coaches, Holywood, was not obliged to attend the brief hearing in Newtownards on Tuesday and detail of the allegations against him were not discussed in open court. He made 32 appearances for Scotland and 78 for Ulster before retiring in 2012 due to a back injury. Olivia Danielli, 29, had been due to go on trial for damaging his car on 9 August last year. However, the case against the former model and mother-of-three was adjourned in September, given the charges against her estranged husband. Mrs Danielli, from Marino Station Road, Holywood, is the daughter of one of Northern Ireland's wealthiest men, property developer Seamus Jennings who, in 2012, was said to be worth £67m. At one stage, she was also accused of assaulting the 6ft 2in ex-international winger, but that charge was later dropped by the prosecution. The Public Prosecution Service had initially directed that there would be no case against Mr Danielli, but that decision was reversed. The Commons health select committee wants local areas in England to deliver "joined-up" care, health and housing. Funding pressures were reducing older people's quality of life, MPs added. The government said "urgent reform of the care and support system is needed", and that it was creating the conditions for more integration. The committee's report said that the Health and Social Care Bill - currently making its way through Parliament - would not simplify a fragmented system in England. Rather than the current system of multiple funding sources, the MPs are calling for a single local body with the power to commission health, support services and housing. The precise model would depend on local circumstances, they suggest. The committee says in its report: "Despite repeated attempts to 'bridge' the gap between the NHS and social care... little by way of integration has been achieved over a 40-year period. "These separate systems are inefficient and lead to poorer outcomes for older people." Evidence was cited in the report that services which worked together to help keep older people well could potentially save the NHS £2.65 for every £1 spent by, for example, avoiding emergency admissions to hospital. The committee visited projects which had successfully integrated care in Torbay, Devon, and Blackburn, Lancashire. However, the report points out that the care trusts that had pioneered integration in these areas are due to lose their commissioning functions under the controversial Health and Social Care Bill. The MPs acknowledged that the government was putting extra money into social care in England - but said they had still received a "weight of evidence" which pointed to funding pressures and service cuts. The government's commitment of an extra £2bn a year for social care by 2014/15 was "not sufficient to maintain adequate levels of service quality and efficiency", the report claimed. In a hearing with the committee, Health Minister Paul Burstow denied there was any gap in social care funding. The Conservative MP and former Health Secretary, Stephen Dorrell, who chairs the committee, said: "This government, like its predecessors going back to the 1960s, has stressed the importance it attaches to joined-up services. "Growing demand, coupled with an unprecedented efficiency challenge, makes it more urgent than ever before to convert these fine words into fine deeds. "It is impossible to deliver high quality or efficient services when the patient is passed like a parcel from one part of the system to another. "We recommend that the government should place a duty on the new clinical commissioning groups and local councils to create a single commissioning process for older people's services." Ministers in England are due to publish a White Paper on social care in the coming months. The committee is calling on the government to implement the findings of the independent Dilnot Commission, which last year recommended a system in which the costs of care for individuals were capped. MPs warned though that the future of social care should not be "dominated by a debate about the technical details of funding". They said carers needed more support - but this was too often not identified by staff such as GPs and social workers. The King's Fund think tank estimates that 890,000 people are not receiving the care services they need - a figure which is disputed by ministers. A senior fellow at the King's Fund, Richard Humphries, said: "Delivering integrated care must assume the same priority over the next decade as reducing waiting times was given over the last. "The committee is right to stress that a more ambitious approach is needed to achieve this based on co-ordinated commissioning and pooled budgets. "We think this could go a stage further by moving towards a single assessment of the funding needs of the NHS and social care in future spending reviews." The shadow care minister, Liz Kendall, said: "Far from focusing on what older people and their families really need, the government has instead wasted 18 months on its disastrous NHS reorganisation. "As the committee points out, some of the best examples of integrated care have been achieved by Care Trusts, which will be swept away by the government's own Health and Social Care Bill." Mr Burstow said: "Integrated care should be the norm. That's why we asked the NHS Future Forum to specifically work on this issue. They told us there is no single silver bullet when it comes to integration. "What we have already done and continue to do is create the legal and financial conditions for more integration." Officers were seen entering a tenement block in South Tay Street in the city centre at about 11:00. Details of the the man's identity and age have not yet been released by Police Scotland. A Tayside Division spokeswoman said: "Police Scotland is carrying out enquiries in relation to a sudden death of a man. There do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances." The misconduct cases were among those detailed in a leaked internal email, sent to all FBI staff and published online by CNN. They ranged from the "unprofessional conduct" of texting nude images, to more serious theft and gun offences. The unnamed agents involved were either suspended or dismissed. In one case, an employee used a personal mobile phone to send nude photographs to several other employees. The report said the incident "created office gossip" and "adversely affected the daily activities of several squads". In another incident, a staff member used an FBI-issued Blackberry to send explicit text messages to a second staff member, while another was disciplined for emailing nude pictures of herself to her ex-boyfriend's wife. Another agent was suspended for 14 days for paying for a "sexual favour" while visiting a massage parlour. Other violations included committing fraud, mishandling evidence, shop-lifting and making unauthorised use of the FBI database to search for information on friends and family. One agent was suspended for taking an FBI motorcycle for a joyride, while another was disciplined for carrying his gun while drunk. In one stand-out case, an employee was sacked for unprofessional conduct after he was found to have bugged his boss's office. The report said the employee hid a recording device in the office and searched through his supervisor's paperwork. The FBI said the regular emails to staff on disciplinary issues were designed as deterrence. "We're hoping (that) getting the message out in the quarterlies is going to teach people, as well as their supervisors ... you can't do this stuff," FBI assistant director Candice Will said, in an interview with CNN. "When you are given an FBI Blackberry, it's for official use. It's not to text the woman in another office who you found attractive or to send a picture of yourself in a state of undress. That is not why we provide you an FBI Blackberry." The 24-year-old was riding a yellow Suzuki motorbike on the A706 near Linlithgow when it went off the road at about 10:25. He is being treated at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. The road was closed for about 90 minutes for a crash investigation. PC Mick Turner, of Police Scotland, urged witnesses to come forward. PC Turner said: "This collision has resulted in the rider being taken to hospital with serious injuries and I would urge anyone who saw the motorcycle prior to the incident, or was on the A706 near to Linlithgow around this time and may have witnessed the collision, to contact us immediately."

China wants the yuan to become an alternative global reserve currency to the US dollar. Last year, Beijing and Tokyo agreed to promote the direct exchange of their currencies to cut costs for businesses and boost bilateral trade. China and Japan have the world's largest foreign exchange reserves. "For China, the move is linked to its efforts to internationalise the yuan," said Zhang Yongjun of the China Centre for International Economic Exchanges. "Allowing foreign investments in its debt market will make the yuan more accepted internationally." China does not allow foreign investors to freely purchase government bonds. Beijing has also maintained a tight control over foreign investments in yuan-denominated assets. In an indication that it was willing to loosen its grip, last month Beijing allowed E Fund Management, one of China' s largest asset managers, to offer its Hong Kong customers the option of investing in the yuan directly by buying stocks and bonds on the mainland. However, the scheme has an investment quota of 20bn yuan ($3.2bn; £2bn), which many observers say limits its reach. While the move to allow Japan to purchase its bonds is another major step, analysts said that Beijing needs to loosen its controls further if it wants the yuan to be recognised as a reserve currency. "It will only truly be an international currency if foreign central banks can freely buy and sell it according to their needs," Michael Pettis of Peking University told the BBC. "So far what we have are inter-government agreements which are just cosmetic." However, some analysts said that a global role for the yuan could only be achieved if the Chinese currency became fully convertible. They said such a move would require China to open up its financial and capital markets, something that Beijing has been reluctant to do. "It is difficult to have an international acceptance for your currency if you cannot put it in and take it out of the country with relative ease," said Patrick Chovanec of Tsinghua University. Mr Chovanec explained that if China opened up its capital markets, it may make it difficult for Beijing to simultaneously control exchange and interest rates as it does now. "This means it makes it harder to use the yuan as a policy tool," he added China's currency policy has been a contentious issue. China's major trading partners have accused Beijing of keeping the value of the yuan artificially low in a bid to boost its exports. While China has allowed the yuan to appreciate against the US dollar in recent months, it has warned that a sudden rise will not only hurt its export sector but also have a negative impact on its overall economy.

China has given Japan the go ahead to buy $10bn (£6.4bn) of government bonds as Beijing tries to create a more international role for its currency.

You have to admire the way South Africa fought back to a position where if one hairline decision - the potential stumping of Jonny Bairstow, when England were 147-6 - had been given out they would have been favourites to win the game. South Africa captain Hashim Amla did exactly the right thing - he thought about what England's openers would least like to do, which was bat for half-an-hour at the end of day four, and he stuck them in. They survived those six overs but to lose Alastair Cook in the second over of the day, followed by a brilliant catch by Chris Morris to end Alex Hales' innings, meant suddenly South Africa were away. No team has ever lost a Test match having scored 600 in the first innings, as England did. It would have been an outstanding performance from South Africa to win the game, although it has still been a very good one to draw it. It has been an unusual match but one of the great positives about Test cricket is that it doesn't follow a set pattern, and any five-day game where the fate is still undecided by tea on the last day can't be a bad one. There was a huge number of runs scored to start with - 1,415 in total, with both teams passing 600 in their first innings. But you cannot dismiss a Test match after three days just because there are a lot of runs scored in it. There are reasons for that - brilliant batting, poor bowling, poor fielding lapses. It is about so much more than a 22-yard pitch. It is about human frailty and confidence and pressure. This wasn't an impossible track to get wickets on. Just ask James Taylor, who nearly had his head taken off from a length. There was enough there to keep the bowlers interested, which is just what you want from a Test match. It went through on the first day - Morne Morkel with the new ball was a handful - then it flattened out and South Africa played very patiently. Finally, it all comes down to the pressure of the situation at the end. That is classic Test cricket. South Africa were very poor in Durban. But now Amla, Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers have all scored runs and they look like they will be a bit of a handful. I like the look of Morris. He has something about him as a bowler, he is a brilliant fielder and he can bat. Dane Piedt keeps taking wickets and Kagiso Rabada looks a good prospect. They will fancy themselves to have a chance in Pretoria on the harder, bouncier pitches at 5,000ft altitude. It is a different game up there and it will be a challenge for England. But there is a break now and a chance for England to get over this game, get up to Johannesburg and acclimatise. They will put this game away and work on things. They are still 1-0 up with two to play and will start in a confident frame of mind. Those who aren't around the South African team may be surprised by Amla's resignation as captain, especially as he scored a double hundred and has his form back. On the face of that, it seems a surprising decision. But he isn't a man who necessarily enjoys being captain and has resigned before from the role in first-class cricket. I suspect he had had enough and his decision was made before he scored his double hundred. The question is whether the South Africa players will lose any momentum as a result of this. I don't think it will have a negative impact. De Villiers will be a very capable captain. He is a strong leader and tactically he is probably more astute than Amla, who was always undemonstrative as captain. They now have a liberated Amla in form, which might be rather dangerous for England. Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Phil Dawkes

England had to dig very deep to draw the second Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

Lysanda Wajsowicz faces nine allegations relating to her time working from the Fairwater Health Centre, Cardiff, between 2009 and 2012. In one case, parents were later arrested on suspicion of neglect. Ms Wajsowicz, who retired in 2012, was not present at the Cardiff Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing on Monday. Opening the fitness to practice hearing, Claire Parry for the NMC said concerns were first raised in October 2011, when two children aged under 10 visited GP Sara Wilson with cases of scabies. But Ms Parry said Ms Wajsowicz failed to make contact with the family after this and in January 2012, both parents were arrested on suspicion of neglect because of the living conditions. She said the father was subsequently also arrested on suspicion of abusing another child. An investigation by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board found Ms Wajsowicz had been involved with the family for more than two years. She had noted on one visit in 2009, "flooding in the kitchen, the house littered with rubbish and dirt and grease in the kitchen". The family had also been subject to a number of public protection referrals, with a history of marital stress, domestic violence, post natal depression and low income. "The registrar should have taken appropriate steps to make sure the children were safe and their needs were being met," Ms Parry said. Other allegations include a delay in providing a care plan which put a child at significant risk of harm before they moved into a refuge with their mother. She is accused of offering no supportive contact to a woman whose ex-partner was subject to a restraining order or a couple who were planning to separate because of "financial constraints". Allegations also include failing to send patient notes to a new practice, failing to discuss with a mother the risks of domestic abuse to a child and failing to carry out follow-up visits. Ms Wajsowicz was "a very experienced health visitor" according to Ms Parry. She offered reasons such as being on annual leave, having a student health visitor with her or being too busy, the hearing was told. Ms Wajsowicz had been part of a team of three which regularly dealt with safeguarding issues. But Ms Parry said one member raised concerns about staffing levels and left her role. The hearing is expected to continue until Thursday. County made a blistering start and Craig Curran headed Christopher Routis' free-kick past goalkeeper Joe Lewis. Curran headed over minutes later, and as Aberdeen improved Mark Reynolds volleyed them level. The Dons were relentless in their pursuit of a second goal and Shay Logan headed them ahead, but Jim O'Brien hit the bar as County finished strongly. All eyes were on Aberdeen debutant Stevie May, with Ross Draper also beginning in the Ross County side after completing his move from Inverness Caledonian Thistle. However, the route to three points came from the unlikely source of two defenders for Derek McInnes' side. What is perhaps most impressive about the Pittodrie side is the quality and depth they now possess. Ryan Christie, Nicky Maynard and Adam Rooney all started on the bench. County looked very impressive in the opening stages and were rewarded immediately, taking the lead within 80 seconds. Routis floated in a wonderful free-kick from the left which Curran expertly glanced into the corner. Curran went close again with another header but they relinquished control and were eventually punished. Their equaliser was a stunning volley from centre-half Reynolds who positioned himself on the edge of the box before dispatching a clearance home in style. They dominated much of the second half with Greg Stewart, Greg Tansey and May all going close before they inevitably went ahead. Gary MacKay-Steven got to the byeline and dinked a cross to the back post, where Logan arrived to nod home from a couple of yards. Logan has now scored 14 goals for the Dons, six of them coming against Ross County. The visitors did get a late break before seeing out the win, though, when County's O'Brien cracked a fierce long-range drive off the bar. A total of three points from a difficult opening two games is a decent return for Ross County, but manager Jim McIntyre must have hoped more were coming after their opening here. Media playback is not supported on this device Ross County manager Jim McIntyre: "The first 15 minutes I was really pleased, we really got at Aberdeen. But after that we were guilty of gifting the ball away. "In the second half we were flagging, maybe the extra-time in midweek had an effect, but it's no excuse, we're a fit team. "Aberdeen are a top side. You need to defend well when you come up against good teams and I felt we did that. In the main the boys gave it everything they had, they just didn't have the bit of extra quality." Media playback is not supported on this device Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "If you're going to lose a goal, lose it in the first minute. It was a gift. "The onus was on us to grab the game. We started to get our game going. Second half, I thought we took charge of the game. Our willingness and determination to make the game go our way was evident in the winning goal. "I thought Stevie May, other than scoring, had a fantastic debut. He was a constant threat, he dropped off, looked after the ball, played on the shoulder. He never gives centre halves a minute." Aberdeen striker Stevie May: "It was a tough start for us, we should have started much better but we got the job done. "We've got four players in attacking positions there that can play every single place, intertwining. It's only going to get better. "I don't think competition is ever bad, especially in the numbers we've got and quality we've got in the squad. It speaks volumes for the club and ambition of the club. It's always healthy. "It's a good start from my point of view." Match ends, Ross County 1, Aberdeen 2. Second Half ends, Ross County 1, Aberdeen 2. Attempt missed.

Extensive air, sea and land searches were carried out over two days between Llandudno's Great Orme and Rhyl. Mr Hughes's body was discovered just before 17:30 BST on Sunday at Kinmel Bay. A 12-year-old Cassius Clay was inside with friends, looking for "free candy and popcorn". When he emerged to find his bike gone, Clay was directed to the basement of the building and the Columbia Training Centre, where police officer Joe Martin was in charge of the boxing programme. Martin advised Clay he had better hone his punching skills before setting off in pursuit of the thief. How fate finds a way. Follow live reaction and tributes Fifty years on, I was sent to Louisville to report on the non-title heavyweight contest between Mike Tyson and Britain's Danny Williams. It was staged at the Freedom Hall, where the man who would become Muhammad Ali had made his professional debut in October 1960. Before Tyson-Williams, the chief-support contest featured Ali's daughter Laila. As she sauntered to victory, the capacity crowd chanted "Ali, Ali" and it was easy to close the eyes and wander back in time... During fight week, Ali's brother Rahman, born Rudolph Clay, accompanied me to the old family home in the west end of the city. As we stood on the concrete pathway leading up to 3302 Grand Avenue, reminiscences flowed as easily as his big brother's combinations. "We had two bedrooms, Mum and Dad in one, me and Cassius in the other," he said. "And we used to play marbles right here on the path. "I remember when he came home from the Olympics (after winning light-heavyweight gold in Rome in 1960). Crowds everywhere. Man, it was like Mardi Gras." We knocked on the door and the young girl who was living there with her family told us how her school friends wanted to do their homework at the house so they could boast about being at Ali's place. Tyson was beaten by Williams in four rounds in a colossal upset. In betting terms, Williams had been given as much chance as a 22-year-old Clay against Sonny Liston in Miami in 1964. After beating Liston, Clay changed his name - and his sport. His news conferences became almost as eagerly-awaited as his fights. Access to television was increasing around the world and he embraced the medium to maximum effect. Cameras and microphones became his best buddies. By 1971, when he fought Joe Frazier in the "Fight of the Century" at Madison Square Garden in New York, 300 million people felt the need to tune in via closed-circuit screens in theatres, halls and cinemas across the planet. His philosophy was simple: whether they paid to see him win or to get sparked, his only concern was that their cheques did not bounce. Media playback is not supported on this device Boxing was a discredited, almost discarded sport when Ali intervened. The early 1960s featured reports from the Kefauver Commission in the United States which detailed the widespread influence of the Mob and the proliferation of fixed fights. The scandals were compounded by two high-profile deaths in world titles fights, involving the Cuban Benny Paret in 1962 and the American Davey Moore a year later. The Oscar-winning screenplay writer Budd Schulberg was a lifelong boxing nut and felt compelled to pen this lament in January 1964: "Boxing is at the crossroads. Either it lifts itself or is lifted by some standard of conscience and regard for the boys on whom it feeds, or it will be nine, 10 and out, having lost through apathy and inhumanity its right to survive." A month later, Ali became world heavyweight champion for the first time. When I interviewed the former US President Bill Clinton for the BBC in 2011, shortly before Ali's 70th birthday, he articulated the significance of the breakthrough: "People had moved away from boxing. It was a huge deal in America in the 1940s and 1950s and then they wrote it off. Then here comes Muhammad Ali, first as Cassius Clay, looking like a ballerina in the boxing ring, reminding people it was a sport. "He made it exciting and meaningful again. He was entertaining and when he was younger he was always mouthing. He made it part theatre, part dance and all power." Ali's allegiance to the Nation of Islam, also known then as the Black Muslims, cut him adrift from many erstwhile supporters and there was a celebratory mood when he was stripped of his world title in 1967, having refused to serve with US Armed Forces in the Vietnam War. "It could have destroyed him but it didn't, because people realised he had been very forthright and he was prepared to pay the price for his convictions," said Clinton. "On balance, he won more admirers than detractors." Schulberg explained to me some years ago how Ali's stance on Vietnam had been so prescient. In an interview recorded during an Arturo Gatti fight week in Atlantic City, New Jersey, he politely requested we take up residence at a favourite haunt of his, an Irish bar just off the boardwalk. Reflecting on Ali's exile from the ring, which lasted three and a half years, Schulberg said: "The perception of him changed from a man who reflected the mood of his generation to someone who shaped it." Another important factor in rebuilding the perception of Ali was his bravery - and later humility - in defeat, when beaten for the first time in his career in the aforementioned showdown with Frazier. The enforced absence from the ring had had an enervating effect on Ali's movement and speed. Without the dancing feet, he was like the bird without wings. The best heavyweight in history might be the one we never got to see, the Ali of 1967-70. Even so, his claims to the accolade of The Greatest are unrivalled. No other heavyweight fought and beat opponents of the calibre of Frazier, George Foreman, Sonny Liston and Ken Norton. And three of them he beat twice. His performance, less heralded, against Cleveland Williams in Houston in 1966 might just be the best exhibition of heavyweight boxing ever assembled. Three rounds of artistic violence. And what must also be included in any debate about all-time rankings is the boxer's impact within and beyond his sport. Again, Ali belongs at a table for one. The Rumble in the Jungle, the Thrilla in Manila and the Fight of the Century were straplines for nights so big they spawned songs, books and documentaries. "They weren't fights, they were happenings," Ali's great friend Gene Kilroy told me in a BBC documentary in 2002. Kilroy was luckier than most. He was there. In recent years, I've been fortunate to sit close by as Usain Bolt and Floyd Mayweather, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis all pulled rabbits from a hat. But those experiences I'd trade in for a night at the fights with the kid who lost a bike and found a calling. There are so many countries involved, so many complications in these talks, it's easy to lose the big truth. This is the best chance David Cameron has of getting a new deal with the European Union - there could always be another summit, more talks, more negotiations but there's no guarantee the terms would get any better for the UK. One senior UK diplomat told me: "The deal is as cooked as it is going to get". Failing tonight might not just mean the best terms and conditions slip away, it would also be fraught with political risk. Losing this moment jeopardises his chances of holding a public vote in June. Months more of fractious negotiations would clog up the government's time and focus, and remember ministers believe the longer this process goes on, the harder it will be for them to win the referendum. There would be more time for those arguing to leave the union to organise their campaigns. By offering this referendum on the basis of a renegotiation he chose, David Cameron has manoeuvred himself into this distinctly risky political position. He never planned to be the prime minister who wanted to expend significant time and energy on the EU, and he certainly does not plan to be the prime minister whose actions led to the UK leaving the Union. But what happens in the next few hours may well shape his political legacy. Portora Royal School and Collegiate Grammar School (CGS) are now set to close at the end of the current school year. A new co-educational school, Enniskillen Royal Grammar School, will then open in September 2016. Initially, the school will operate on a split site, but there are plans to build a single new school. It is expected that the new school will be built at the current Portora site, but this has not yet been confirmed. A year 10 student at Collegiate Grammar School, whose past pupils include the First Minister Arlene Foster, had challenged the decision by the Education Minister John O'Dowd to approve the plans. The student claimed that no economic appraisal of the proposals had been carried out and that there would be significant transport problems arising from a split site. However, Mr Justice Colton said that: "in reality the challenge was brought not by the pupil but by the leadership of the CGS as part of their 'determined and ongoing opposition' to the proposal to close their school". He rejected the challenges to the Department of Education's plans, and refused the application for judicial review. In his judgement, Mr Justice Colton acknowledged that: "the decision will come as a great disappointment to all of those associated with the CGS", but said the minister's decision was "neither irrational nor unlawful." The principal of Collegiate Grammar School, Elizabeth Armstrong, said they would need time to consider the judgement. "We are disappointed at the outcome, but our focus will continue to be the young people of County Fermanagh and the surrounding area, whom it is a privilege to serve," she said. Established in 1618, Portora Royal School counts Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett among past pupils. Its current principal, Neil Morton, had previously told the court that: "the proposals and campaign against the amalgamation has pitted neighbour against neighbour". Following the court's decision, he said that he was delighted that the interim board of governors for the new school, "will now be able to continue the very good work that they have already done to establish a new school". Education Minister, John O'Dowd, also welcomed Mr Justice Colton's decision. "I believe this decision is the right one for the young people of Enniskillen and I wish all those tasked with taking these plans forward well as they establish the new school," he said. Enniskillen Royal Grammar School will be a co-educational grammar school with an enrolment of around 900 pupils. Mr Justice Colton said that all current pupils at Collegiate Grammar and Portora Royal would be accommodated at the new school, and that any reduction in admissions would be gradual. However, he also said that the split site arrangement should not be permanent, and that it would be "nothing short of a scandal" if a new school was not built. VisitScotland will follow it up with promotional activity in Germany early next year. It said the route - officially opened by the Queen last week - had received coverage by media worldwide. It hopes it can "breathe new life" into the economies of Midlothian and the Borders and help Scotland as a whole. Mike Cantlay, who chairs VisitScotland, said the start of services was "not only a historic moment for Scotland" but also "a truly global affair" with an audience of millions. "The magical Scottish Borders is one of Scottish tourism's greatest assets with its rich heritage and beautiful and inspiring landscape," he said. "The Borders Railway, which delves deep into Sir Walter Scott country, presents a huge opportunity for Scottish tourism to breathe new life into the area, touching on every industry, business and community." Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown said the railway would "open up a unique and iconic part of the country to visitors". "Having been there myself at the official opening on Wednesday to sample the atmosphere and feel-good factor I have no doubt that the new line will serve as a catalyst for major investment in the area," he said. "Not only is the Borders Railway a success by the scale of its ambition, but also for bringing together communities, councils, and government to deliver a challenging infrastructure project both on time and on budget. "Such vision and collaboration means that the Borders has become a symbol of the renaissance of our railways in Scotland." Danny Cusick, who chairs the Borders Railway Blueprint Leaders Group, said it hoped to "maximise the economic benefits" of the new rail connection between Edinburgh and Tweedbank. A ScotRail Alliance spokesperson added: "There's a great buzz about the Borders Railway, particularly after such a successful opening weekend, with more than 2,500 journeys last Sunday alone - the first day of passenger rail services to and from Tweedbank. "We're pleased to be working with Scottish Rail Preservation Society to run our first-ever steam trains. "These are proving popular with customers and helping boost the Borders economy. "Due to the huge demand, we added extra carriages to 16 of our 17 Borders steam trains, with these additional tickets selling out within a week." The clash took place in the southern Jolo island late on Wednesday. The army said Abu Sayyaf was holding several tourists who were kidnapped from a resort in September. Abu Sayyaf is the smallest but also the most radical of Islamic separatist groups in the Philippines, and often carry out kidnappings for ransom. Philippine army spokesman Maj Filemon Tan told reporters that soldiers had fought about 300 militants, who later fled into the interior of the island. "This is part of our focused military operation to free foreign hostages held by the Abu Sayyaf," he said. In September two Canadians, a Norwegian and a Filipino were kidnapped from a resort in Samal Island, also in the south of Philippines. A video emerged the following month purportedly showing the hostages, which came with a message from militants demanding an end to artillery attacks and calling for negotiations. The Philippine army has said it will not negotiate and military offensives will continue. Last month Abu Sayyaf militants beheaded a Malaysian captive, reportedly due to a breakdown in negotiations for his release. But until a dramatic stunt on 26 June involving a gun and a hardcover book that left Pedro dead, there was little indication in their videos how far they were prepared to go in order to attain online celebrity. The couple from the US state of Minnesota had been uploading videos for less than two months documenting their everyday lives. Though they had filmed some minor pranks - Monalisa dusting a donut with baby powder before feeding it to Pedro, for example - they seemed relatively harmless. In one video filmed in a hospital, they learn their new baby is going to be a boy. "Imagine when we have 300,000 subscribers," Monalisa pondered in a video uploaded at a fun fair on the day Pedro was killed. "People will be like 'oh my god, hi!'" Now she faces a second-degree manslaughter charge over a reckless stunt that was said to be her boyfriend's idea to boost their profile. She fired a Desert Eagle handgun from close range, as he held an encyclopaedia in front of his chest. He had experimented previously and thought the thick book would protect him, but the couple's three-year-old child and nearly 30 onlookers watched as she fired a fatal bullet. Since YouTube launched in 2005, it has attracted people willing to do things on camera for a slice of minor online fame. But in 2012, the company made it easier for contributors to obtain a chunk of the advertising revenue they generate from videos. Studios were created and grants given out to groom a stable of stars who need to make fresh, compelling content to keep the clicks - and advertising dollars - rolling in. They are often media personalities in their own right, with agents and slickly produced videos. Hundreds of thousands of others, like the Minnesota couple, sit below them and are trying to gather followings. Many have little success. But the rewards of becoming one of the few who make it big can be a huge motivation to keep trying. (According to Forbes, the top 12 highest-earning YouTube stars made a combined $70.5m from June 2015 - June 2016.) And while stunts are merely one genre of an extremely diverse landscape of videos made by YouTubers - from cooking to comedy and music to beauty - they do get millions of views. Dr Arthur Cassidy, a British psychologist specialising in social media, says videos of dangerous stunts can inspire teenage copycats who "haven't got the cognitive function to figure out this could be very fatal". "It's perceived as being 'fun' or 'exciting' or 'high-risk'. Anything that is high risk is intriguing, gets adrenaline going and sets up highly competitive game playing within the fraternity of late adolescence." But what the Minnesota couple tried to film is "one of the most horrific cases" he has come across. Fears that young people watching from home could try it, but with a less powerful weapon to see if it could work, are "salient and highly profound", Dr Cassidy says. Doing dangerous things for online attention is nothing new. In 2011, Australian Acton Beale fell to his death after trying to "plank" on the balcony of a seventh floor flat in Brisbane. The planking craze - which involved people lying down straight-bodied in unusual, but mostly safe, places - was largely confined to still images uploaded to Facebook. But the Australian case signalled how a growing internet "stunt" culture for attention could lead to tragedy, and since then several online trends have reportedly caused deaths worldwide. Of course, YouTube has no borders, and stunt videos from anywhere can go viral globally. Russia's Interior Ministry recently launched a "safe selfie" campaign in response to a growing local culture of amateur daredevils filming their stunts. In one video watched by millions of people, Alexander Chernikov lights his trousers on fire and jumps off a nine-storey building into the snow. These kinds of stunts make the antics of TV pranksters from a pre-YouTube era, like those of the MTV reality show Jackass, seem tame. Critics say that YouTube, owned by Google, needs to do more to take down videos of extremely dangerous stunts. The company said it was "horrified to learn of the tragedy in Minnesota" and that its thoughts were with the family. No video of the incident is believed to have been uploaded. A spokesperson told the BBC that it removes content flagged by users that breaks its rules. Its policy on harmful and dangerous content says it draws the line at content "that intends to incite violence or encourage dangerous or illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death". Examples of what would be banned include videos depicting "bomb making, choking games, hard drug use, or other acts where serious injury may result". Would you play captain Wayne Rooney in attack or midfield? Or would you not start with him at all? Is there room for Jamie Vardy? And what about Harry Kane?

Who do you think should start at Euro 2016? Step into Roy Hodgson's shoes and pick your XI - and then share it with your friends using our brand new team selector. Chief football writer Phil McNulty England's central defence will be their biggest problem at Euro 2016 having had failings against quality opposition exposed in recent years. And yet Hodgson has decided to sacrifice one central defender to add to his resources further forward. Everton's Phil Jagielka is left out while Manchester United's Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill of Chelsea and Everton's John Stones are selected. Hodgson has covered himself with Tottenham's Eric Dier. He is likely to start as a holding midfield player but is also the central defensive cover. A gamble. In attack, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has the chance to be the squad's "bolter" - but he will have to produce something special in the pre-Euro 2016 friendlies to unseat any of the established names. The 28-year-old also carried the flag for Wales at the closing ceremony. Hours earlier he won the road race in dramatic fashion, suffering a puncture on the last lap. "There's a couple of scripts I think none of us would have written before the Games, but this was one to top them all," said Davies. "To have a star like Geraint Thomas... a truly global sporting icon, to represent Wales and actually deliver the gold medal on the very last event... it couldn't have been better really. " Thomas' gold was Wales' 36th medal for Team Wales at Glasgow 2014, surpassing their pre-Games target of 27. It is the most medals Wales have won at a Commonwealth Games. The previous best was a haul of 31 at Manchester 2002, but more gold medals were won there by Welsh competitors. They have achieved their target despite a torrid build-up dominated by high profile pull-outs. Rhythmic gymnast Frankie Jones secured six of Wales' medals including the first gold of the Games. She was awarded the David Dixon Award at the closing ceremony. It is given to the outstanding athlete of each Games based on their performance, fair play and overall contribution to their team. It was an award Davies said was fully deserved. "Fantastic. On the back of Frankie's success over the years a new rhythmic programme is now flourishing in our country," he said. Judoka Natalie Powell won Wales' second gold. Jazz Carlin became the first Welsh woman in 40 years to win a gold medal in the pool at the Games with Georgia Davies another swimming gold medallist. Davies said that Team Wales were always confident they would do well despite the "negativity" which plagued the Welsh camp before the Games. "We were always confident," said Davies. "What we didn't know was the actual medal tally, what it was going to be. "The drop outs at the beginning and the whole negative headlines just cast a little bit of a shadow. "The shadow has now been blown away by the Scottish wind. "There's no vindication needed. It's just glory I think for all the athletes and coaches and the hard work they've done for four years, if not more." Chair of Sport Wales Laura McAllister hopes Welsh success in Scotland will increase participation in sport. "It's been an incredible 11 days of competition, which has been capped by a truly stunning gold medal for Geraint Thomas," said McAllister. "We've witnessed tremendous achievements which will live long in the memory. Wales has a bright future ahead and we expect to see a ripple effect in terms of sports participation too. "To secure this record medal haul - without three world champions and an Olympic silver medallist - is outstanding. "We want to be in a position where we are supplying an increased number of athletes to Team GB for Rio in 2016 and building on that experience for the next Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast in 2018." The handwritten notes, carried by an aide to Conservative MP Mark Field, included "what's the model? Have your cake and eat it" and "unlikely" in reference to the EU single market. They were photographed after Mr Field and his aide left a meeting with the Brexit department at 9 Downing Street. The government said the notes did not reflect its Brexit position. "These individual notes do not belong to a government official or a special adviser. They do not reflect the government's position in relation to Brexit negotiations," a spokesman said. The notes, held by Mr Field's chief of staff Julia Dockerill, were captured on a long-lens camera by photographer Steve Back. "Difficult on article 50 implementation - Barnier wants to see what deal looks like first," they note, in an apparent reference to the lead EU negotiator Michel Barnier. "Got to be done in parallel - 20 odd negotiations. Keep the two years. Won't provide more detail. We think it's unlikely we'll be offered single market," they also say. Among the reaction from other EU members, Luxembourg PM Xavier Bettel said of the UK stance: "They want to have their cake, eat it, and get a smile from the baker, but not the other things... there are European values which cannot be separated. No cherry-picking." The BBC's assistant political editor Norman Smith says the government's response, playing down the picture's significance, underlines just how "awkward" it is, because it does seem to be of a view held "within" the Brexit department. "The real damage is that phrase 'what is the model? Have cake and eat it.' The damage is the way that will be read by other EU countries," he says. It is not known who Mr Field - a vice-chairman of the Conservative Party and MP for the Cities of London and Westminster - was meeting, or if the page of scribbled notes being carried by his aide is definitely an account of talks at the department handling Britain's departure from the EU. The notes appear to suggest that a transitional arrangement - which would allow the UK continued access to the single market after Brexit while it negotiates a new trade deal - is also unlikely. "Transitional - loath to do it. Whitehall will hold onto it. We need to bring an end to negotiations," the paper reads. The government's private Brexit planning has created a public vacuum, into which inky handwritten scrawls from an MP's assistant are easily drawn. The notes are suggestive of a position broadly similar to what's become known as a "hard" Brexit - out of the single market, a deal for specific sectors (tougher to get for services than manufacturing), and a deal done in two years (no transitional agreement to cushion the changes). And having the cake while wanting to eat it too - reflective of Boris Johnson's famous phrase meaning the desire to have free trade without accepting imposed immigration, or freedom of movement. But one huge caveat: We don't know whose view - or views - are reflected in these notes. It is clear there are significant differences of opinion on Brexit strategy across government - not least between the EU exit department and the Treasury... and in the vacuum we don't know who will win the debate. The document also says it is "unlikely" the UK will remain in the single market, and that a transitional arrangement, immediately after Brexit, will not happen either. It says a deal on manufacturing should be "relatively straightforward", but one on services will be "harder" to achieve. And in what appears to be a reference to the negotiating team the government will encounter in Brussels, the document says: "Very French. Need fair process guaranteed." The government has refused to reveal details of its Brexit negotiation strategy in advance, saying it will not offer a "running commentary". Debate has focused on the level of access the UK could secure to the single market, and whether this would come at the price of greater immigration controls. For Labour, shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer called for the Government "to come clean, to end this unnecessary uncertainty and publish a clear plan for Brexit". "These disclosures are significant because they suggest that the Government is not even going to fight for the single market or customs union in the negotiations. If that is the case, there are huge implications for the economy, for businesses and for jobs in the UK," he said. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said: "If this is a strategy it is incoherent. We can't have our cake and eat it and there is no certainty on the single market. This picture shows the Government doesn't have a plan or even a clue." The soldier, from the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was killed in Woolwich, south-east London in May. Drummers escorted the cortege to Bury Parish Church, with onlookers applauding as it passed. A service then took place for the family ahead of a full military funeral and private committal on Friday. The father of one had served in Afghanistan and was a drummer for the regiment. Ahead of the cortege, soldiers from his regiment marched and veterans carried regimental flags. Floral tributes carrying the words "brother", "son" and "husband" accompanied his coffin draped in the Union flag. An honour guard of soldiers from his regiment will remain with Fusilier Rigby's body overnight inside the church. Police and councils have urged people to line the route once his body leaves the church on its way to Middleton Cemetery on Friday. Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons on Wednesday, David Cameron said: "We should all pay tribute to drummer Lee Rigby for his service to our country. "We should also pay tribute to his family, to all the pain and difficulty that they are going through, and I am sure it will be a very fitting service, a very moving service on Friday and the whole country will be mourning with them." Michael Adebolajo, 28, from Romford, east London, and Michael Adebowale, 22, from Greenwich, south-east London, are accused of Fusilier Rigby's murder. Mr Adebolajo is also accused of the attempted murder of two police officers and possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to believe that violence would be used. David Smart, 53, who was one of two marshals at the scene of the crash, said the "wee boy" was pulled out from under the vehicle. Mr Smart said: "He seemed a wee bit shaken. I was pretty surprised he was OK." Another spectator, Joy Robson, of Skye, was injured and later died. The rally car had earlier struck a rock and somersaulted off the track. Minutes earlier, the events organisers had brought the rally to a halt due to concerns for spectators. However, the car that crashed was one of a number still racing on the track. Mr Smart told the fatal accident inquiry (FAI) in Edinburgh: "I was in the trees on the right hand side when there was a change of engine noise and I heard a loud bang. "I looked up and and could not initially see where the car was then saw it in the air." The marshal said he shouted to a colleague to "get an ambulance". Mr Smart said: "People were screaming. I ran up there. The car was on the ground, lying on its four wheels. "Some folk were around the driver's side and someone said 'there's a wee boy trapped under the car'. I think it was the father. "Three guys came up and lifted it up. His legs and from the waist down were sticking out the passenger side of the car. The boy was pulled out. He seemed a wee bit shaken." He added: "I opened the passenger door and asked if the co-driver and driver were okay and although they were a wee bit shaken, they said they were fine." Mr Smart said it was then he noticed a woman under the car. He said: "A doctor arrived and I told him there was a woman under the car and thought she was critical". A joint fatal accident inquiry is being held into the death of Mrs Robson as well as the deaths of three people - Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan, both of Barrhead, and Len Stern, of Bearsden - at the Jim Clark Rally near Coldstream in the Borders in 2014. Earlier on Wednesday, the event's deputy clerk of course said Snowman "suffered" from large crowds. Mr Campbell, 52, told the inquiry that social media and TV coverage had increased the popularity of the sport. He told the FAI at Edinburgh Sheriff Court: "The Snowman suffers most with the number of spectators who come to watch it. "It's a very busy event. It depends upon the weather on the morning of the rally. Diehard fans will come to the race regardless of the conditions. "However, people who've started following the sport in recent years may decide to go if the weather is fine." Mr Campbell told the hearing that marshals at the Snowman Rally sometimes had to help spectators stand in safe areas. He said that experienced fans had developed a knowledge of where they could stand in relation to a rally race track. Mr Campbell also said that some people did not have that understanding and staff at rallies had to tell them where they could stand. He said: "You are your own safety officer. Common sense should come into it but sometimes people need help or encouragement to move them to into safe areas." Mr Campbell told the inquiry that he had acted as a marshal at previous rallies and had moved spectators who he thought were standing in inappropriate areas. He said his tactics for getting people to move on depended upon their manner. He said that most people responded to requests. Mr Campbell added: "A lot of the time, people just need some gentle encouragement. You just need to say 'would you move please'. Sometimes you have to be more forceful with them. "Most folk are compliant." The inquiry also heard of his concerns about overhanging trees and the width of the road. He said the trees prevented spectators from being able to move back. Crown lawyer, advocate depute Andrew Brown QC, asked Mr Campbell if he had seen the rally programme. He replied that he had not and was told by Mr Brown there was a section in it which said "where to see the action", but it had not been specific about the area involved in the fatal accident. There were signs around the course warning that rallying could be dangerous, but Mr Campbell said he could not remember if there had been any "prohibited signs", which were designed to ban spectators from entering the area. Mr Campbell said the course had large portions of higher ground, considered a safe place from where to watch a rally, but they were further from car parks and people tended to go to the first place they came to. Mr Brown asked: "They follow the herd. Behave like sheep?" Mr Campbell replied: "Yes". Mark Stewart QC for the Highland Car Club pointed out that some people had walked a considerable distance up a hill, despite the programme telling them there was a shorter walk. Rally marshal David Smart said he had encouraged people to go to a sensible position further up the track. One young boy was seen filming the cars but despite repeated requests to move did not. Other spectators also ignored requests to move on. The inquiry also heard that 2013's Snowman Rally was run "to the letter" of the Motor Sports Association's best practice and the event's safety plan operated as it should have. The hearing was told that at 10.28 minutes and 37 seconds there was a call to stop the rally and at 10.29 and 23 seconds the rally was stopped. The crash happened at 10.32 and three minutes later the incident was reported. Within less than one minute medical assistance was requested and within 30 seconds it was dispatched, the hearing was told. All this happened in the middle of a forest said Mr Stewart. The inquiry continues. The visitors fell to 14-4 as Mitchell Claydon (3-73) and Darren Stevens (3-60) each struck twice to dismiss the top four batsmen for only nine runs. However, Marshall and George Hankins (45) helped Gloucestershire rebuild before Calum Haggett bowled Hankins. The away side closed on 296-9, with Marshall caught off Claydon for 112. Jack Taylor's impressive start to the year with the bat continued as he made 52 in a century seventh-wicket stand with Marshall, before the pair were dismissed in consecutive overs in the final session of play. Graham Ovenden, from Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, abused children he produced paintings of, in the 1970s and 1980s. District judge Elizabeth Roscoe later ordered destruction of paintings and photos she judged to be indecent. Ovenden was jailed in 2013 after his suspended sentence was found by the Court of Appeal to be "unduly lenient". Judge Roscoe accepted the decision would "invite the wrath of the art world". And speaking in the Lords, independent peer Lord Clancarty said this "unprecedented judgement has disturbing implications" and it had "huge implications" for the "freedom of expression of many contemporary artists". Following Ovenden's conviction, the Tate removed more than 30 prints from its online collection. Labour's Shadow Culture spokesman Lord Stevenson said: "Is the government really saying that it's alright to criticise totalitarian regimes elsewhere for destroying art, but we're not prepared to take action within ourselves?" Internet Safety Minister Lady Shields said the government cannot interfere with the decision of the court, but said the artist can appeal against the judgement. She said: "There were works of art in this collection that were relating to the individual specifically that were child sexual abuse images, and you would agree that those should definitely be destroyed." Ovenden was convicted at Truro Crown Court of six counts of indecency with a child and one of indecent assault. At his trial, a jury cleared him of three counts of indecency and two of indecent assault. The event takes place on two sites - Chelmsford in Essex and Weston Park on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border. The site enjoyed some good weather on Sunday, a day after it was blasted by high winds and pouring rain. Fifteen people were arrested for drugs offences, and 1,218 people were treated for injuries, said West Midlands Ambulance Service. More about the V Festival clear-up operation Andy Redhead, one of the organisers, said there were "more people than the last couple of years" which made it a "great event for our 21st birthday". A clear-up operation is underway by volunteers who will donate camping equipment left behind to countries that need aid. Police say a man was restrained and disarmed after opening fire in the lobby of the Family Research Council at 10:45 local time (14:45 GMT). The guard was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm and is in stable condition, police said. The Family Research Council opposes gay marriage and abortion. An FBI spokeswoman said there had been an altercation between the suspect and guard before the shooting, although it is not clear what caused the attack. "We don't know enough yet about him... or mentally what he's thinking," said James McJunkin, assistant director of the FBI's Washington DC field office. One law enforcement official said the suspect had made a negative remark about the organisation's work, before opening fire on the guard, the Associated Press reported. A visitor to Washington was asking a police officer for help with a parking meter outside the building as the situation unfolded. As the office door opened an officer repeatedly shouted "Put the gun down, put the gun down," Amy Biondi said. "Next thing you know there are police officers swarming the area." Isle of Wight Council says it is introducing the 40p return charge for the Cowes Floating Bridge in "response to the national austerity agenda". The charge, which will begin on 20 July, was agreed by councillors in February, despite protests and a social media campaign. Motorists already pay between £1.30 and £7.50 to use the crossing. Travel will continue to be free for concessionary bus pass holders and under-19s but other users will pay 40p for a return trip. Tickets will initially be available from ferry staff but a mechanised system will be introduced in February 2016, the council said. A smartcard-style system will be launched later this year and those not obtaining a smartcard will have to pay 70p return. Isle of Wight Council has implemented £14.5m of budget cuts for 2015-16. Economy and tourism councillor Shirley Smart said: "It is well known that the council is under severe financial pressures and we must do all we can to raise income from services for which we do not have a statutory requirement to provide." The 38-year-old ferry linking Cowes and East Cowes, known as Cowes Floating Bridge, is due to be replaced. The council said the charges would help fund the new vessel. The service has been in operation since 1859. Gypsy Kings Café in Commercial Road, Portsmouth, was issued with a closure notice on Tuesday and ordered to close for three months on Thursday. Police were granted an order by magistrates under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. PC Dan McGarrigle said he believed anti-social behaviour in the area was related to the sale of "legal highs". He described them as "psychoactive substances". "The anti-social behaviour related to this premises has had a detrimental effect on the local community and has had a negative impact on individuals, families and businesses," he said. Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire Constabulary worked together to secure the closure of the shop. Simon Hayes, Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, said: "The magistrates have made the right decision here to close the Gypsy King's head shop. It sold products that endanger the lives of anyone who takes them. " "These substances should not be available at all, let alone on our High Streets." Former Watford trainee Isaac joined the Iron in 2013, making 164 National League appearances for the club. Details of the length of the 24-year-old's contract have not been disclosed. "We're pleased to sign him as he had a lot of offers from other National League clubs," Woking manager Anthony Limbick told the club website. This is the era of the "super manager" in the English top flight: Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, Arsene Wenger, Antonio Conte, Pochettino and Guardiola. And although Bielsa's trophy cabinet might be on the light side, arguably none of them can claim to be more influential in football than the 62-year-old former Chile and Argentina boss, who is now head coach of Lille in France. "My admiration for Marcelo Bielsa is huge," Guardiola says. The Manchester City manager travelled to Argentina in 2006 to seek out his advice about becoming a coach and the two have been close ever since. "He makes the players much, much better and he helped me a lot with his advice." "I am pretty sure his influence at Lille - their club and their players - will be huge. Amazing. I am pretty sure of that." Spurs boss Pochettino was born in the Argentine village of Murphy, north of the capital Buenos Aires. He first came into Bielsa's orbit when he was 14. "He is like my football father," says the 45-year-old. "We are a generation of coaches who were his disciples," he told SFR Sport. "How he feels football, the passion he has for football, I think we all took that from him." Jorge Sampaoli [Argentina boss], Diego Simeone [Atletico Madrid manager], Gerardo Martino [Atlanta United boss] and Sevilla head coach Eduardo Berizzo all cite Bielsa as a major influence on their style of management. At the age of 18, central defender Pochettino won the Argentine title with Bielsa's Newell's Old Boys in 1991 and reached the final of the Copa Libertadores the following season, losing to Sao Paulo on penalties. It was a stunning achievement for a modest club. Bielsa tasked the players at the club with scouting the opposition and asked them to present their reports in front of the squad. In an age before the internet, he told them to read three newspaper reports of their previous game, as well as sports weekly El Grafico. Bielsa is seen by many fans and journalists as a mysterious figure because he never gives interviews, only pre and post-match news conferences. He is also unpredictable. Last year he resigned as head coach at Lazio after just two days in charge. And the year before that he walked out of Marseille after the first game of his second season. But can he really be considered as one of the best coaches in the world when his trophy collection is relatively small? Three league titles in his native Argentina and an Olympic gold medal in 2004 with the national team don't compare to the greats of the game. And there are a number of disappointments in finals. He managed the Copa America runners-up in 2004 [Argentina] and both the Europa League and Copa del Rey runners-up Athletic Bilbao in 2012. Guardiola though, feels that's irrelevant: "We are judged by that - how much success we have, how many titles we have won but that is much less influential than how he has influenced football and his football players." "Still, I didn't meet one guy, a former player who speaks no good about him. They are grateful about his influence on their careers in football." So what makes Guardiola and Pochettino rave about Bielsa? And what is he really like to play for and work with? World Football has been to Lille to find out more about the manager nicknamed "el loco" [the crazy one]." Pre-season has been very different for the Lille players this year. Not only did they work at the training ground but they also lived there. Bielsa asked for about 20 "bungalows" to be built at their Domaine de Luchin headquarters. "We started pre-season on 19 June," says Lille winger Anwar El Ghazi. "The first two days were tests and after that it was hardcore. We trained at 10am and second training was 6:30pm. We eat here, we sleep here and we do everything here. "They're small bungalows, just a bedroom, air conditioning and electricity, that's all. If you want to take a shower you go to the changing room and we have a room with Playstation and table tennis. "The coach said we had to be a family together and when you're eating together, sleeping next door to each other, you become a family. We are like brothers now." Bielsa was attracted to Lille by the vision of two men, the owner Gerard Lopez [ex-president of the Lotus F1 team] and the former vice president of Barcelona Marc Ingla, who is now director general of Lille. Ingla played a big part in the appointment of Guardiola as head coach at Barcelona in 2008 and working with Bielsa is bringing back memories. "He reminds me of Pep Guardiola sometimes in the way that he has an extreme intensity," said Ingla. "Playing at extremes always generates stress in the systems but I think it's good to push everybody and every single point or lever that can make us better. The players, the club or the infrastructure at the training ground." El Ghazi said: "He is a little bit different, he can be very aggressive and shout at people but then he'll be very quiet. "He pushes everybody to the limit, for example my body fat used to be 10% or 11% and now it's 8%. "We train a lot, it's very physically and mentally hard. "You do the kind of actions that you do on the pitch. We train like a realistic game, like passes you would do during matches, those type of things. Training is very different to what I experienced when I was playing at Ajax. We don't do position games and we don't do a lot of matches during the training sessions." Bielsa is famous for his obsessive use of videos to prepare for matches and it's something he has already brought to Lille. Man City's new left-back Benjamin Mendy - who played under him at Marseille - sums this up best. "He made me devour videos like never before," Mendy told Onze Mondial. "To begin with he put me in front of the videos and I'd fall asleep. But he was happy! I was shocked. "After a while I stopped sleeping and told myself 'go on, I'll watch two minutes of this thing after all.' "After that he talked to me, I talked to him and we'd go over moves together. He told me, 'see, that's why I let you sleep. You slept, you slept, you slept but the day you decided to watch you got interested on your own. If I'd pushed you to watch you wouldn't have been interested'... Marcelo is just too good." When he arrived at Athletic Bilbao it is said he watched all of their matches from the previous season, making reams of notes on every single game. And after joining Marseille there were even reports that he watched all of their games from the previous season up to 13 times. Bielsa's Chile teams caught the eye with their 3-3-1-3 formation and attacking football, pressing high up the pitch. In March 2012, Manchester United fans applauded Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao off the pitch after a stunning performance in the first leg of a Europa League last-16 tie. "With Marcelo in charge we shouldn't be shy in saying we want to put together the greatest football, with the greatest coach for what we're trying to do," Ingla says. "That's a spectacular, offensive, winning style and we believe he can be the greatest executor of our plan." "We want to excite the crowd and surprise the crowd with spectacular pressing football." The average age of Lille's first XI in their first game of the season was just over 23. The oldest player on the pitch was only 26. Bielsa has cast aside older, experienced players such as Vincent Enyeama and Rio Mavuba to give younger players an opportunity. It's something that's had a big influence on Pochettino's philosophy. "We went for Marcelo because he is the best coach to develop young talents to their maximum potential," added Ingla. "It was a natural fit for our vision. He can be the greatest executor of our plan." In 2014 at Marseille, he said this about a 19-year-old Mendy: "You may think I'm joking, but Mendy will be one of the best full-backs in the world." Mendy cost Man City £52m. Meanwhile Pochettino says Bielsa spotted that he had the potential to be a top footballer when he was fast asleep. He'd arrived at the family home at 2am and asked the Spurs boss' parents if he could see their teenage son's legs. Bielsa then announced he was signing him for Newell's because he looked like a footballer. "Yes, that was the reality," Pochettino told Sport Magazine. "I woke up in the morning and my mum explained the story. I said: 'Yeah come on, it was in your dream. What did you drink before you went to sleep?'" Michael Beckwith, 44, died from his injuries following the assault in Barrack Lane, Harwich, last July. Joseph Smith, 18, has been on trial for murder at Chelmsford Crown Court alongside two other defendants accused of the same offence. He has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies murder. Rebecca Ryan, 22, and Scott Swift, 27, also deny murder. Read updates on this story and other Essex news The prosecution alleges Mr Beckwith was lured to a remote part of Harwich by his ex-fiancee, Ms Ryan, on 31 July last year, before suffering 17 blows to his head, arms and legs. He died on 2 August. The court heard his relationship with Ms Ryan, whom he had met while working at Connolly Care Home in Weeley - a residential home for mental health patients - had ended a few days before the attack. Ms Ryan, of Hilltop Rise, Weeley, and her former boyfriend Mr Swift, of Station Road, Dovercourt were charged with murder on 5 August alongside Mr Smith, of Canning Street, Harwich, who was 17 at the time. A married couple, Triston and Enderlein Biddlecombe, both of East Street, Harwich, are accused of assisting an offender. They deny the charges against them. Ms Ryan is also charged with perverting the course of justice for falsely claiming she had been a victim of the attack on Mr Beckwith. The trial continues. They brought hay and feed to the animals stuck on an island on Lough Beg near Toome. Three animals were dead. A further 10 were still alive. It is believed they had come to the island on a causeway when the lough level was low. They became stranded when winter flood waters running off Lough Neagh raised the level. Members of the community rescue service based at Portglenone took supplies to the island on Thursday. Norman Worthington said they had received a call to alert them to the presence of the horses. The animals seemed to be in decent condition and some attempt had been made to feed them with hay. But the ground had been badly cut up and the horses were standing in up to 10 inches of mud. The dead animals have been covered with heavy plastic. The welfare of horses is now a matter for councils under law. Mid Ulster Council said it had received a complaint and was investigating. Perhaps it was the iterative nature of Kezia Dugdale's questions, repeated not once, not twice, not thrice but….what comes next? Quice? Whatever the provocation, Nicola Sturgeon seemed just a mite exasperated during questions at Holyrood today. She questioned the auditory capacity of a fellow MSP - not once, but…..oh, don't start that again, skip the loop. Then there was her response to the token opening question posed by Ruth Davidson. You know the sort of thing. "When will you next meet the Tsar of all the Russias?" Thus allowing a supplementary: "When you encounter the Tsar, will you explain why hospital waiting times in Auchtermuchty have shown such pitiful variation?" Ms Davidson followed her usual format. When would the FM next meet the Secretary of State for Scotland? Ms Sturgeon positively barked: "Tonight!" Not looking forward to the evening, eh, Nicola? Not, I would guess, a trip to the theatre to see Mary Poppins. Nor, from the sound of it, a chatty evening at home with a tube of Smarties and the latest box set of Borgen. Ruth Davidson looked temporarily taken aback. Still, she rallied to ask the FM about tax. The sign at Scotland's border, she said, should not read "Higher Taxes Now". What did she want instead? "There be dragons?" "United for the Cup?" No, it seems she wanted something along the lines of: "Scotland will continue to offer broad equivalence to the fiscal structure as set out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon George 'Gideon' Oliver Osborne MP." Ms Davidson generally renders that as "you won't pay more in Scotland than in England." Ms Sturgeon chose to depict it as pusillanimity over the new tax powers. Earlier, though, she had faced broadly the same charge herself, from Labour's Kezia Dugdale. Ms Dugdale noted that up with the Chancellor's tax plans, Labour would not put. Would the FM say the same? Then she added the challenge: "Yes or No". There is nothing more calculated to rile a nuanced politician. Actually, catching your hand in the car door comes close. As does learning that the chippie has run out of white pudding. But still the "Yes or No" dichotomy tends to irk. It irked sufficiently on this occasion that the FM bluntly advised her interrogator to "dispense with the mock indignation." Simply then drily then irritably then angrily, Ms Sturgeon said again….and again…and (see above) that she would set out the detail of her tax plans early next week. But she said, again repeatedly, that she wasn't a fan of the Chancellor's scheme. And thus wouldn't do it. So what might we expect from the Scottish government - or, being pedantic, the SNP, given that we are notably close to an election? Not an increase in the standard rate. Ms Sturgeon has decried that as penalising the poor, even with Labour's proposed rebate (which the FM says is useless……no, it isn't…..yes it is…no it…). So that's a non-starter. She told me last week in a pre-conference interview that she was pretty sceptical about increasing the very top rate from 45p to 50p (for those earning more than £150k). That was because it raised relatively little in Scotland and top earners tended to be flexible. They could declare their income elsewhere, dodging that extra top rate - and depriving Scotland of all their tax contribution, not just a portion. So it seems that is unlikely - even although it must be politically tempting to match Labour's top rate rhetoric. In the same interview with me, she acknowledged that it would be an option to decline to apply an increase in the 40p threshold to Scotland. So that looks decidedly in prospect. Either leaving the threshold alone or perhaps increasing it in line with CPI inflation - which would be a tiny increase, thus dispensing with a sizeable portion of the accompanying tax cut. People in Scotland would thus pay more than people elsewhere in the UK - but only if they were on the upper rate, as redefined for Scotland alone. For the Liberal Democrats, Liam McArthur questioned how the FM intended to maintain services such as education while eschewing the 1p overall tax rise. Plainly, Mr McArthur was seeking to depict himself as thinking of Our Children's Children's Children. Ms Sturgeon appeared to favour another Moody Blues album. A Question of Balance. David McLean, 31, and Ryan Gilmour, 25, were acquitted after a jury returned not proven verdicts at Edinburgh High Court. The court had heard that PCs Deborah Lawson and Robert Fitzsimmons were "repeatedly struck" by a Nissan Qashqai in Glasgow's Banner Drive last October. They were seriously injured and required hospital treatment. The court heard that PC Lawson thought she was going to die as the vehicle was driven towards her. She was dragged 14.5m after the men allegedly refused to get out of the car to speak to the officers. The car was then driven towards her as she lay injured on the ground before her colleague, PC Fitzimmons, pushed her out the way. Mr McLean and Mr Gilmour were arrested after their DNA was found on the Qashqai, which had been set fire following the incident. A purse containing a driver's licence and bank cards which belonged to a woman who had the same surname as Mr McLean was also found in the vehicle. But defence lawyers argued that the DNA evidence did not prove that their clients had committed the crime. Both men were told they were free to go after the jury took just over an hour to reach its verdict following the trial. Friends and family members of the two men were told to keep quiet by the court after the verdicts were returned. They started cheering and clapping loudly as one supporter shouted "good decision". NHS England and Public Health England have launched a campaign to help the vulnerable stay well and out of A&E. Tips include setting a thermostat to no lower than 18C, wrapping up warm and consuming hot meals and drinks. There were 43,900 excess winter deaths in England and Wales in 2014/15, the Office for National Statistics says. The Stay Well This Winter campaign also urges those eligible for the flu vaccination to have the injection and encourages those suffering from a cough or cold to get early help from a pharmacist. It says: "Food is a vital source of energy, which keeps your body warm. Try to make sure that you have hot meals and drinks regularly throughout the day and keep active in the home if you can." There were 27% more deaths in winter in 2014/15 compared with the rest of the year, figures from the Office for National Statistics show. The majority were among those aged 75 and above with around 36,300 excess winter deaths among that age group. Research shows people with health conditions such as heart disease, lung problems and dementia are also more likely to die in winter. Professor Keith Willett, medical director for acute care at NHS England, said many A&E visits over winter are due to problems "which could have been avoided" if medical advice had been sought earlier. He added: "The NHS is here to help, but there are important things we can all do to take care of ourselves during the winter months. "It is vital that the most vulnerable people take preventative steps to keep healthy and stay well."

Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny had invited Mrs May to give a speech to TDs (MPs). "My understanding is that the Prime Minister's schedule will not allow that to happen and I am not in control of that schedule," Mr Kenny told the Dáil. Mrs May and Mr Kenny are expected to discuss Brexit during the Dublin visit. Mrs May would have been only the second UK prime minister to speak before the Dáil. Tony Blair addressed the Dail in 1998, the first speech to the parliament by a UK prime minister since 1922.

Prime Minister Theresa May is unlikely to address the Dáil (Irish parliament) on her visit to the Republic of Ireland later this month.

Sr Clare Theresa Crockett, 33, who was from Derry's Long Tower area, died when a school collapsed in Playa Prieta. The 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed at least 480 people, and left more than 4,000 injured and 231 missing. Shauna Gill said that it was a tribute to her sister that people were still so interested in her story a year after her death. "Over the past year we have had a lot of support from people," Ms Gill told BBC News NI. "Clare was always happy and loved life. "To think that a year on people are still writing about her is unbelievable." Sr Clare and another Irish nun injured in the quake, 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 they became trapped on a stairwell as they ran out of the building.

A memorial Mass has been held for a Londonderry nun who died in an earthquake in South America a year ago.

The Sunderland fan, six, was diagnosed with a rare cancer aged 18 months old and went on to become "best mates" with his hero, striker Jermain Defoe. After the announcement of his death by his family on social media, thousands took to Twitter to offer condolences. In a statement, Sunderland Football Club said: "Bradley captured the hearts and minds of everyone at our club." The England football squad, for which Bradley was also a mascot, tweeted: "There's only one Bradley Lowery." Alan Shearer tweeted: "So sorry that little @Bradleysfight has passed away. An inspirational life cut way too short. Thoughts with his amazing family & friends RIP." Gary Lineker, who hosted the Sports Personality Of The Year awards at which Bradley was a special guest, tweeted: "Terribly sad to hear that little Bradley Lowery has passed away. A warrior and an inspiration to the end. RIP Bradley." In its statement, Sunderland FC said: "[Bradley's] heart-warming friendship with players and staff alike epitomised the impact this wonderful little boy had on everyone he met. "He had a special relationship with Jermain Defoe and their feelings for each other were evident for all to see. Jermain, naturally, is heartbroken. "Bradley's story not only touched our club and our fans, but also the wider football community. Football can be a powerful force for good and our sport came together to embrace Bradley's fight in a unique way. "We would like to extend our sincere thanks to every club and fan who supported Bradley in recent months and showed such warmth and kindness to the Lowerys - we are truly grateful." Everton FC donated £200,000 to a cancer treatment fund when Bradley was mascot for the match between the club and Sunderland. Chairman Bill Kenwright said: "We are so privileged to have known him... and will always be proud that he chose us as his second club. "We send our loving thoughts to his family... plus those who were inspired by him throughout the world of football." Newcastle United tweeted: "Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Bradley Lowery and all who supported him throughout his brave battle." Former Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, whom Bradley scored the Goal of the Month against in January, tweeted: "RIP little man. You will be sadly missed." The world governing football body, Fifa, tweeted: "Today, the football world lost one of its bravest fans. Rest in peace, Bradley Lowery." There were also tributes from the world outside football. Durham Cricket Club tweeted a video of the crowd applauding his memory ahead of its game against Lancashire. Aintree Racecourse - which honoured him on Grand National Day - tweeted: "Very sad to hear that Bradley Lowery has passed away. Our thoughts are with family and friends." Julie Elliott, Labour MP for Sunderland Central, tweeted: "Bradley packed so much into his short life. My thoughts are with his family & friends on this very sad day. RIP Bradley Lowery." Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tweeted: "Heartbreaking to hear that Bradley Lowery has died. I'll never forget images of Defoe & Bradley when he was Sunderland and England's mascot."

Tributes have poured in from across the world for Bradley Lowery, who has died from terminal cancer.

However, as the Arab Spring blew through the region, turmoil rocked the Yemeni capital and Luke began to document the events around him. The British-born US citizen had only been in Sanaa for two weeks when he captured this image of a wounded young protester being taken to hospital by his friends. Then an amateur photographer, Luke told the BBC how it unfolded: "I was standing by at the anti-government protesters' camp while the afternoon prayers were performed. Gunfire crackled nearby, quieting the surrounding air; and wounded young men were soon rushed past by men with agitated faces." He soon began working for local publications the Yemen Times and the National Yemen, and his material appeared on international news outlets. His photos documented the country's political developments and anti-government protests, but also captured the impact of conflict and hardship on the lives of many Yemenis. 22 August 2013 With widespread attention very recently focusing on embassy closures and security threats, I strongly feel that such a glimpse as this photo essay provides can serve to balance such attention with the true-to-life interests of Yemen's citizens. Yemen isn't the most difficult place to live in. Always something to make you smile, you just sometimes have to step outside and find it. I actually feel pretty fortunate, as I'm the only foreigner I know of working directly and regularly in connection with the National Dialogue Conference. But soon enough, I need to depart and spend some time with my mom! I'm sure I will return to the Middle East - and with regards to Yemen, it's pretty much a must. It's an emptying thought, imaging rooting yourself so firmly in a place, only to never return. So return I should, return I must. He also continued contributing to the BBC's coverage of the fast-moving events, providing vivid eyewitness accounts and sending pictures. He produced a series of dramatic photo galleries from Yemen, saying "it means so much for people here to know that their story is being heard/seen". He stated his desire to capture through his images the "themes of daily life, political crises and whatever else has made the two-year period [2011-2013] both incredible, difficult and unprecedented - yet somehow hopeful - for Yemeni citizens". A lot of blood was shed during the conflict, and Mr Somers described how the smell of death remained on his clothes long after leaving the makeshift hospitals where he took images like this. In August 2013 - a month before he was kidnapped from a street in Sanaa - he told the BBC: "I'm still in Yemen, though I plan to depart fairly soon." His last photo gallery for the BBC - reporting on the National Dialogue Conference - appeared in September 2013 - just days before his abduction. Mr Somers, 33, was born in the UK, but moved to the US with his mother when he was seven. He visited the UK regularly to visit his father, who was based in Deal, Kent. "Luke's taste for travel grew early on in life," Mr Somers' stepmother, Penny Bearman, said in a statement. "As a young man he worked salmon fishing in the Arctic, lived for a time in Jamaica, witnessed riots in Cairo and moved to Yemen in 2011," she said. She described him as "a talented photographer with a sensitivity for people", who had helped tell "the stories of communities in war-torn areas". "I think Luke would have wanted issues of extremism and terrorism to be addressed by stepping up the dialogue instead of resorting to conflict between nations," she added. One of Mr Somers' friends, who is based in Yemen, told the BBC he was "one of the kindest and most dedicated people to Yemen I have ever met." She added: "He was very soft spoken, never got angry and he really cared about the Yemeni people, the common man in Yemen and their struggle." Media playback is not supported on this device The Welsh Premier League side have won 27 games in a row and broke Ajax's 44-year-old record for most consecutive top-flight victories, when they beat Cefn Druids 2-0 on Friday. The Saints have a two-week break before facing Newtown on Saturday, 14 January. "We want to come back fresh again and we want to win every game we can," Harrison told BBC Radio Wales. "They've obviously got a fantastic attitude and mentality of winning. "We'll come back and start again, almost, and go on a fresh run again of five or six games of wins again and it'll push us into the thirties." Scottish fifth-tier side East Kilbride thought they had broken Ajax's record earlier in the season, but the record can only be set by teams playing in their country's top-tier. A legendary Ajax side that included Johan Cruyff and Johann Neeskens set the previous benchmark of 27 games unbeaten in the 1971-72 season, but Harrison is keen not to draw too many comparisons. "We're not comparing ourselves to Ajax in any way shape or form," Harrison continued. "On a personal and domestic level, it's a fantastic achievement to be up there with them. We're not comparing ourselves to them, but in its own right the achievement shouldn't be frowned upon." On stage, recent major productions of Hamlet and King Lear featured predominantly black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) casts, but according to some in the industry, "you can walk onto a building site and see more diversity than in the average theatre". Paapa Essiedu, who is currently the Royal Shakespeare Company's Hamlet, says theatre is "caught between two worlds at the moment". "There's a lot of positivity about how we see our present and future and that's all good, but I still don't see or feel that impact. "What is required is for people to be more bold and more adventurous in what they back." In Manchester, the Royal Exchange's King Lear saw veteran actor Don Warrington take the lead, something which he says "should not be in any way startling". Yet many reviews drew attention to his race, which Warrington says is "an indictment of where we are". He says while conditions have improved since he began his acting career almost 50 years ago, that anyone wants to discuss his casting shows there is still a "problem". "There's a higher visibility, but the question is about the quality of that visibility and the quality of the parts. "I don't think that is where it should be." Hamida Ali, the acting union Equity's equalities and diversity organiser, shares Warrington's unease. "One of the things we remain concerned about is how surprised we might be when we see a black actor in a lead role, not just in Shakespeare, but in general. "It says something in itself that that remains something of note." She says there is definitely "a consensus that there is a problem, but what the cause is, who is responsible and what the solutions are is perhaps more in debate". The production of Lear was put on with Talawa, a theatre company set in the 1980s "in direct response to the lack of creative opportunities for actors from minority ethnic backgrounds". Artistic director Michael Buffong says three decades on, there is still "a rapid need for change". "What we need is different people to reflect different aspects of the same world, otherwise we have this very narrow viewpoint." Essiedu agrees theatre needs to be "more diverse about the stories we're telling and the people that are telling them". "By doing that, there will be more opportunity for a more diverse group of actors. "We're in 2016 in an international, multicultural, integrated society and we've got a responsibility as artists to reflect that in the work that we create." Matthew Xia, an associate artistic director at the Royal Exchange, says far from getting better, theatre has "gone backwards in so many ways". "It's not just about the art, it's also about the organisational structure. "In the majority of organisations, the moment you get to the leadership, it drops right down with regards to proportionate representation of the cities that they are working in. "It's beyond me, because you can walk onto a building site and see more diversity than you can see in what is meant to be the liberal end of the work spectrum." Buffong says, as a result, there is a need to "change the gatekeepers, because that's where the power is". "You can cast two black actors in a play and go 'wow, we've got two black actors' but that's not really the same as having a story from a particular point of view. "Just because there is a black actor on the stage doesn't necessarily mean it's your story." Dawn Walton, the founder of Sheffield's Eclipse - which uses "the Black British experience to create new work that will enrich the canon of British theatre" - agrees. "There is a belief in theatre that what is on stage is what needs to be diverse, so cross-casting is always where people go - casting a black whatever - but if that solved it, we'd have beaten this in the 1970s. She says theatre boards need to change because "they're very much into doing the same thing over and over again... but the country has shifted". "The institution is becoming less and less relevant because it doesn't represent what goes on right outside its doors." Xia says theatre is "still at a place where actors of colour are expected to play peripheral characters unless the play is explicitly dealing with race, which is ridiculous". "The human experience is so much broader than that. "I've heard quite scary things said by directors which shows a lack of understanding about roles and who can play what. "Ultimately, people are always going to represent their world on stage, so if their world has been monocultural, it's highly likely that's how the work will be rendered." The "diversity of theatre generally is an issue", according to Arts Council England's director of theatre, Neil Darlison. "I think theatres are aware of it and if they're not, they should be, because ultimately it's going to affect their business." However, he says there are some positive signs, "particularly in metropolitan centres, where the diversity of people working in organisations and running them is better than it was". "They're starting to reflect the stories of the inhabitants of the city." Warrington believes direct action is needed to effect change. "We have to wake up our consciences and we can do that by having a deliberate policy, so that it becomes part of everyday life. "It has to become something we do." Buffong adds that he is "in favour of anything that gets an instant result". "Targets, quotas, ringfencing money - I'm in favour of making it happen now. "The idea of more initiatives and training is so over. There's a wealth of people who just need the opportunity to work." Ali says those opportunities may be hampered by the law, which "in some ways" supports equality, but also has grey areas. "There are exemptions from the duty not to discriminate where appropriate and casting is one of those. "If you are casting for realism purposes or because of the way a character is written, that is permitted, so you could argue that exemption has worked against progress. "I understand that we're talking about an artistic process, but we must recognise it is an industrial one, and decisions made have an impact disproportionately on working opportunities. "It's a difficult and thorny question because there are pros and cons on both sides." Essiedu believes the answer may be a simple one. "We mimic what we see, so we need to put that in front of people to get that machine started. "I'd never seen a black actor performing the lead in a Shakespeare play until I was 18 and I saw Chiwetel Ejiofor doing Othello in the Donmar Warehouse. "Because I hadn't seen it, I didn't think it was possible and I didn't explore that avenue. "People from whatever background are only going to be inspired to write or perform if they see it. "If you've got an artistic director who is willing to try and fail, then you're going to get a wider palette of works. "Some of it will probably be terrible, but some of it will be unbelievably brilliant." Hamlet is in cinemas from 8 June and at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon 13 August. The women, from Brazil and Germany, posted on the Gumtree website that they wanted a lift from Adelaide to Melbourne, reports say. Police will allege in court that the man took the women to a remote beach near Salt Creek, south of Adelaide, where they were raped and beaten. One of the women remains in hospital in Adelaide, two weeks after the attack. The accused man was arrested at Coorong National Park on 9 February. Details including his identity, vehicle and alleged actions during the crimes have been suppressed by court order. Reports said the women, in their 20s, were rescued after they managed to escape and run off in different directions. One was recaptured, but the other ran screaming from sand dunes towards a group of fishermen, witnesses said. "She ran straight to the car yelling. She opened the back door, jumped straight in and like, 'get me out of here, get me out of here. He's going to kill us all'," fisherman Abdul-Karim Mohammed told 7 News. The second woman was found barely conscious and unable to speak, the fishermen said. The accused man is expected to face court again in April charged with attempted murder, unlawful sexual intercourse without consent, and kidnapping. Workington Town's Derwent Park joins other illustrious host venues such as Liverpool's Anfield and the London Stadium, now home to West Ham. BBC Sport explains how this west Cumbrian town came to be included, and why league is so prevalent in that part of the world. The origins of rugby league are key to its popularity in west Cumbria. In the late part of the 1800s teams in the north drawn from Cumbrian shipbuilders, Lancastrian textile workers and the pitmen of Yorkshire could literally not afford to adhere to the Rugby Football Union's 'amateur' ethos, which outlawed any payments to players. Players injured during matches, who could not work, would not be paid, nor would those who had to miss work to play, and as such the great schism came with the birth of the Northern Union and a new code of rugby in 1895. That breakaway, the early incarnation of league, allowed clubs to reimburse players for their services, and as such those towns and cities along the 'industrial belt' of England came to embrace the game, giving league its unique geographical spread. Some of rugby league's most famous characters, such as Douglas Clark and Dick Huddart, hailed from the old Cumberland and there are traces of Cumbria's lineage throughout the current Super League, in Kyle Amor, Brad Singleton and Ben Harrison. Workington Town and Barrow both lifted Challenge Cups in the 1950s featuring stars such as Gus Risman, Ike Southward and Willie Horne and before the move to the summer game, Cumbrian clubs produced players to represent Great Britain at the highest level. While the history is rich, the current fortunes of Cumbrian club rugby league are not quite so fruitful. All three teams - Workington, Whitehaven and Barrow - will play in the bottom tier, after relegation for Town and Haven. Town's drop has coincided with a reshuffle behind the scenes with a new chairman, in former player Garry Mounsey, and a new head coach in Dave Clark. "There's no doubt that relegation in isolation is a massive disappointment for the club and the fans," Workington director Malcolm Allison said. "However, what it has done is allow us to reassess things, bring together a wider board of directors and review the structure of the club both on and off the field. "The fact that we can look forward to an international match between Scotland and New Zealand is a real tonic for the fans of the local area." Initially there were plans to create a new purpose-built stadium for the 2013 World Cup, but when that fell through Workington was handed host status, developing a bond between Scotland and Cumbria that has since been reinforced. Head coach Steve McCormack has his own links to the area with his successful spell in charge at Whitehaven, while players such as Brett Carter, Brett Phillips and Callum Phillips have worn the Bravehearts colours as Town players. "It's been good to us, west Cumbria has been really good for Scotland," Scotland boss Steve McCormack told BBC Sport. "We played our pool games there in the 2013 World Cup, got a great victory against Tonga and a good performance against Italy. "Then we played Wales in the European Cup the following year and won then, so we're undefeated there and it would be nice to do that again against the Kiwis." The European Commission has also proposed that the programming must be given "good visibility". It says there are cultural benefits to the move, which would affect Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. However, one expert suggested the new rules might not have as much impact on what was on offer as intended. The call is part of a proposed update to the 28-nation bloc's Audiovisual Media Services directive. Other measures include: "The way we watch TV or videos may have changed, but our values don't" said Gunther Oettinger, commissioner for the digital economy. One industry watcher said that many of the online platforms already met the proposed quota requirement because they carried so much BBC and other British-made material. But even if the UK leaves the EU, and its programmes no longer counted, it would not necessarily mean lots of additional content from other countries would have to be commissioned as a result. "This is driven by the core problem that the EU identified 40 years ago, that the Hollywood studios and other US producers dominate global box office and broadcasting because they have scale that cannot be achieved in a fragmented EU," said Alice Enders, from the media consultancy Enders Analysis. "It does send out an important signal to Netflix and others. "But let's face it, the online services could meet the 20% quota by loading up themselves with lots of rubbish French, Italian, Spanish and whatever content. "Or they could simply remove some of their lesser-watched non-EU material." EU rules already oblige TV broadcasters to: But since audiences are spending increasing amounts of their time watching on-demand services, the EU civil service thinks the new measure is required. "This will have a positive impact on cultural diversity and bring more opportunities for European creators," it says. On-demand platforms would have to ensure at least a 20% of the catalogue they offered to EU subscribers was made up of "European works" and that this content was given prominence on viewers' screens. This would not be enforced centrally from Brussels. Rather, individual countries would have the right to demand the likes of Netflix and Amazon invest in local productions and/or buy the rights to EU-made shows and films. The companies could be given the option of either making the investments themselves or paying a levy into a fund that would then be shared out. The commission says the platforms could make sure the content was visible by making it easy for users to search for European-made productions, ensuring it appeared on their front pages and streaming trailers. The European Commission acknowledges there could be a problem for smaller providers. For example, it would be hard for Crunchyroll, a service that specialises in Japanese anime, or KorTV, which streams South Korean content, to meet the requirement. As a result, it is proposed a mandatory exception be made for companies with "a low turnover and low audiences, as well as small and micro-enterprises". Netflix said it was against quotas, but was already investing in local content. "Our members around the world love European programming, that's why our investment in European programming, including Netflix original titles created in Europe, is growing," said a spokesman. The company recently started streaming Marseille, its first European-produced "original" TV series. And in November, it will premiere The Crown, a series about Queen Elizabeth II, which was filmed in the UK. It has also formed partnerships with European broadcasters to co-produce other shows. It is also worth noting that the Commission acknowledges 21% of the films offered by Netflix are currently classed as being from the EU. Amazon has yet to comment. The company would potentially be less affected as, at present, Germany and the UK are the only EU countries where its video-streaming subscription service, Prime Video, is available. But it is already making local shows, including the drama series Ripper Street, the forthcoming The Grand Tour - a car-themed show featuring the former hosts of Top Gear - and Wanted, a German-language thriller. The revised directive still needs to go before the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers. And even if it is adopted, local regulators would still have to enforce it. Existing requirements affecting broadcasters are not always strictly adhered to. Officials from the Denver Art Museum and the Cambodia government marked the handover in a ceremony in Phnom Penh. Called the Torso of Rama, the headless sandstone statue dates back to the 10th Century and was taken from the Koh Ker temple during Cambodia's civil war. The museum acquired it 30 years ago, and said it only realised it was looted after recent discussions with Cambodia. "We are joyful with the torso of Rama returning home," government official Yim Nolson was quoted as saying by AFP news agency. But the 62-inch (158m) statue is still missing its head and other body parts and Cambodia is currently appealing to museums and art collectors to return the missing portions. The Denver Art Museum said it had acquired the statue in 1986 from a New York gallery. It had earlier told the Denver Post that it realised that the piece may have been stolen in 2013 when Cambodia identified it as one of several artworks taken from the country during the civil war in the 1970s. It said it was contacted last year by the Cambodian government which provided additional facts that led to the statue's return. In January a French museum returned a 7th Century Hindu statue head to Cambodia 130 years after it was taken. The Welsh team arrived with hopes of a place in either the main competition's quarter-finals or the second-tier Amlin Challenge Cup last eight. But Taku Ngwenya's hat-trick and tries by Benoit Baby and Iain Balshaw ensured defeat for the visitors. Hooker Richard Hibbard scored the Opsreys' try in the second-half. Biarritz remained in the hunt for a place in the latter stages of either European competition, their fate resting on games later in the day. With number eight Imanol Harinordoquy and scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili directing their efforts, the hosts were able to control key parts of the opening period. The visitors had few answers when the two French stars were probing and orchestrating the home side's efforts. With Adam Jones anchoring their scrum, the Ospreys were able to largely dominate in that area. And for Wales coach Warren Gatland, there were no further injury worries to add to those surrounding fly-half Rhys Priestland and flanker Dan Lydiate from the previous day's European action. But that was of little consolation for being out-played in almost every other facet of play. Yachvili was instrumental in giving Ngwenya the time and space to score the opening try after five minutes, the number nine adding the conversion. Media playback is not supported on this device The Ospreys had opted to give Eli Walker a chance in the number 11 jersey and put Shane Williams on the bench. And there was a lesson for Walker to learn when he was caught out in defence by full-back Balshaw, who drew the defender before releasing Ngwenya for his second try in the opening 10 minutes. Yachvili again converted and almost conjured a try for Harinordoquy with a clever cross-kick only for Dan Biggar to get his foot to the ball in time. The home scrum-half added a penalty in the 25th minute and wing Williams entered the fray as full-back Barry Davies left it as half-time approached. There were more replacements for the visitors at half-time, but scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i lasted only five minutes before being sin-binned for a dangerous tackle. In his absence the hosts found enough space to send wing Benoit Baby over and Balshaw was next to the line, also before Fotuali'i returned. A rare line-out mix-up allowed Ospreys' replacement hooker Richard Hibbard to crash over from close range. But Ngwenya completed his hat-trick as he left number eight Jonathan Thomas in his wake, Yachvili again converting. Ospreys director of rugby Scott Johnson: "We knew it was going to be a hard day at the office because they started so well and us so poorly. "When you have got that sort of tidal wave coming at you, it's hard to stop." Biarritz captain Imanol Harinordoquy: "We played some of our best rugby of the season to win a European quarter-final. "We're happy with the result because we knew the Ospreys are a strong team. They beat us narrowly in Swansea but this made up for that defeat." Biarritz: Balshaw; Ngwenya, Gimenez, Traille, Baby; Peyrelongue, Yachvili; Barcella, Heguy, Marconnet, Thion, Carizza, Lauret, Guyot, Harinordoquy (capt).

President Trump's outburst on Friday - that the US military was "locked and loaded" ready to deal with North Korea - came just hours after his Defence Secretary James Mattis attempted to cool tensions by saying that diplomatic efforts were succeeding. Here are some of the other mixed messages we've heard since North Korea's second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test on 28 July. What Trump said: President Trump was pleased when the UN agreed new sanctions against Pyongyang. But he has also stressed the military option was open. On Tuesday, he boasted about America's military might and warned of "fire and fury" if North Korea threatened the US. Then, after North Korea said it was preparing missile strikes on the US island territory of Guam, he took it up a notch again - saying the regime of Kim Jong-un should be "very, very nervous". He said the regime would be in trouble "like few nations have ever been" if they did not "get their act together". What other officials said: Despite Mr Trump's tweets, many in his team have played down the prospect of war. Shortly after Mr Trump's comments on Guam, Gen Mattis cautioned that armed conflict would be "catastrophic" and insisted diplomacy was bearing fruit. "The American effort is diplomatically led, it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results," Gen Mattis said. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has also told reporters: "I think the president's made it clear he prefers a diplomatic solution." He argued that Mr Trump's words were designed to encourage dialogue with Pyongyang "by ensuring North Korea understands what the stakes are". Mr Tillerson has previously stressed the importance of sanctions - warning that any nation that provided economic or military benefits to the North was "aiding and abetting a dangerous regime". What Trump said: President Trump has praised China in the past, saying it is "trying hard" to rein in North Korea. However, in recent months, he has repeatedly criticised Beijing for continuing to trade with Pyongyang. "So much for China working with us," the US president tweeted the day after North Korea claimed to have tested its long-range missile. At the end of July, he again said he was "very disappointed" with China for not doing enough to stop North Korea's weapons programme. "They do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk," he wrote on Twitter. What others said: Back in June, Gen Mattis had praised Beijing's efforts to restrain North Korea's missile and nuclear activity. And on 2 August, Mr Tillerson said: "We certainly don't blame the Chinese for the situation in North Korea." What Trump said: The president has ratcheted up his rhetoric, warning that if North Korea attacks Guam it should expect "big, big trouble". "If he [Kim Jong-un] utters one threat in the form of an overt threat... with respect to Guam or anyplace else that's an American territory or an American ally he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast." However, he has also struck an optimistic tone, saying: "Hopefully, it will all work out... nobody loves a peaceful solution better than President Trump." What others said: Secretary Tillerson has sought to assure Americans there is no imminent threat, despite some of the strong words from his boss. On Wednesday, he said the situation had not changed dramatically in recent days and that Americans "should sleep well at night". However, top Trump aide Sebastian Gorka told BBC News that Mr Tillerson was not actually speaking for the White House. "You should listen to the president," Mr Gorka said. "The idea that Secretary Tillerson is going to discuss military matters is simply nonsensical. "It is the job of Secretary Mattis to talk about military options." Sometimes Mr Trump's officials appear to disagree with each other too. Mr Tillerson struck a conciliatory tone after Pyongyang tested a second ICBM in July and claimed it could hit the US west coast. "We do not seek a regime change, we do not seek the collapse of the regime," he said. "We're not your enemy." However, just days later Gen Mattis warned North Korea that its actions could usher in the "end of its regime and the destruction of its people". The Pentagon chief also said Pyongyang would be "grossly overmatched" in a war against the US and its allies. Mr Abbott made the comments in London, where he was speaking at the second annual Margaret Thatcher lecture. He said "misguided altruism" was "leading much of Europe into catastrophic error". Under Mr Abbott, Australia introduced border controls that stopped migrant boats reaching the country. Hundreds of thousands of people have now fled conflicts in the Middle East - mostly Syria - and sought asylum in European countries. The UN says most arrivals are not economic migrants, but people fleeing war and persecution. Most are arriving by boat before walking across Europe. In his first major speech since being ousted by his party, Mr Abbott said: "No country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself." He was speaking to an audience of ministers and members of the governing Conservative party at London's Guildhall. "There are tens - perhaps hundreds - of millions of people, living in poverty and danger who might readily seek to enter a Western country if the opportunity is there," Mr Abbott said. "Who could blame them? Yet no country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself. "This is the risk that the countries of Europe now run through misguided altruism," Mr Abbott said, according to a copy of his speech. Strict border controls were a key policy of the Abbott government but attracted international criticism, particularly for the use of off-shore detention centres. Mr Abbott has credited them for saving the lives of migrants by dissuading them from making perilous sea crossings. He urged European leaders to emulate the policy of turning back boats. "It will require force; it will require massive logistics and expense; it will gnaw at our consciences - yet it is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe and quite possibly changing it forever," he said. Australian asylum: Why is it controversial? Mr Abbott also said many of the people currently displaced throughout Europe were economic migrants. "The Australian experience proves that the only way to dissuade people seeking to come from afar is to not let them in," he said. Cyclone Yvette is expected to make landfall in Australia's northwest over the Christmas weekend. Meteorologists have issued a severe weather warning, predicting wind gusts of 160km/h (100mph), heavy rain and possible flash flooding. The cyclone has been preceded by a dust storm in the region, a major mining centre. Refrigeration mechanic Dan Carey said clouds the colour of "iron ore" rolled over his town of Port Hedland. "It feels like the calm before the storm at the moment," he told the BBC. "I've tidied up and got everything under cover." Yvette is forecast to become a category two cyclone by the time it makes landfall. Neil Bennett, from Australia's Bureau of Meteorology, said it would be a "powerful system". "This particular stretch of the coastline is one of the most cyclone-prone areas in the world," he said. Cyclone Stan, the only tropical cyclone to reach mainland Australia this year, slammed into the same region in January. The category two system forced the closure of the export hub at Port Hedland for almost 48 hours. Mining companies BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals Group evacuated most of their port workers before the storm. Stuart MacLeod, 43, admitted attacking Michael Gibbons, 37, to the danger of his life in Bernadette Heron's flat in Glasgow on 17 November 2014. Mr Gibbons accidentally hit Ms Heron with the hammer while trying to open her locked flat door. MacLeod attacked him after assuming this was deliberate. The High Court in Glasgow heard the victim was left with horrific injuries. Jailing MacLeod, judge Bill Dunlop QC told him: "I can understand how you misjudged the situation, but your reaction was grossly excessive. "The consequences for your victim have been horrific." The court heard Mr Gibbons, who suffers from epilepsy and learning difficulties, moved to a council flat in Springburn in May last year. One of his neighbours was Ms Heron, who knew MacLeod and invited him and Mr Gibbons to her flat. About 19:30, Mr Gibbons wanted to leave the flat and Ms Heron could not find the keys. Mr Gibbons became anxious and was given permission to use a hammer to break the lock on the front door. He struck the door several times and accidentally hit Ms Heron on the head. MacLeod, who had been sleeping, awoke to find Mr Gibbons with a hammer in his hand and Ms Heron covered in blood. He grabbed the hammer from Mr Gibbons and hit him on the head with the claw end then repeatedly kicked him as he lay on the floor. The court heard that Mr Gibbons suffered severe brain injuries and requires 24-hour care and is unlikely to be able to live independently. MacLeod, from Easterhouse, Glasgow, was originally charged with attempted murder, but the Crown accepted his plea to the reduced charge. Data from the World Cancer Research Fund suggests that 20,000 cases of breast cancer and about 19,000 cases of bowel cancer could be stopped each year with small changes in lifestyle. In 2013, there were more than 351,000 new cases of cancer in the UK. The WCRF said 84,000 could have been prevented. Head of research Dr Rachel Thompson said simple changes to diet and lifestyle could make "a huge difference" in the battle against cancer. "Even minor adjustments, like 10 to 15 extra minutes of physical activity each day, cutting down on alcohol, or limiting your intake of high calorie foods and sugary drinks, will help decrease your cancer risk," she said. She said that after cutting out smoking, being a healthy body weight was the most important thing people could do to cut their risk of getting cancer. "There is strong evidence that being overweight or obese increases the risk of 10 cancers," she said. The link between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of developing cancer is well known, and this new data looks at preventable cases in 13 of the UK's most common cancers. For example, among men, 9% of cases of advanced prostate cancer could be prevented every year if men were not overweight or obese. Lung cancer cases could be cut by 15,000 (33%) by getting people to stop smoking. And 38% of breast cancer cases could be prevented, particularly in postmenopausal women, by increasing physical exercise and reducing body fat. The WCRF also said that 2,200 cases of kidney cancer and 1,400 cases of pancreatic cancer could be prevented if people adopted a healthier lifestyle. Prof Kevin Fenton, director of health and wellbeing at Public Health England, said the UK was currently behind on cancer survival rates compared with other European countries. He said one major factor was that cancer prevention was not in the public consciousness. "The link between tobacco and cancer is widely known and readily accepted by the public, but many are not yet fully convinced that healthy eating, regular exercise and not drinking alcohol, can lower your cancer risk." Away from the excitement in France, it has gone almost unnoticed that European football's domestic competitions begin this week, Welsh champions The New Saints face Tre Penne of San Marino in the Champions League. Bala, Connah's Quay and Llandudno represent Wales in the Europa League. The clubs will be hoping to to emulate the success of the national team as they prepare for this week's first leg games. Bala Town will be appearing in the Europa League for the third time in four seasons when they face Sweden's AIK Solna away in the first qualifying round first leg on Thursday. Colin Caton's side won both their home legs in the previous two campaigns but narrowly missed out on progressing to the second qualifying round after away defeats to opponents from Estonia and Luxembourg. They face their toughest test to date this year, having been paired with the Stockholm-based club, who are seasoned European campaigners. "We haven't failed to score in any of the games we've played in European competition, which is a massive plus," manager Colin Caton told BBC Wales Sport. "We've got to tighten up at the back and shut up shop when we're away from home and give ourselves a fighting chance. "The odds are stacked against us but we won't be phased by anything." Caton's preparations for the game in Sweden have been aided by the Football Association of Wales' analysis team, who are currently with the national side at the Euros in France. "They've sent all the information over to us," Caton added. "They've helped us out at a busy time and we'll analyse it once we get over there." Europa League first qualifying round, first leg: AIK Solna v Bala Town, Tele2 Arena, Stockholm, Thursday, 30 June, Kick Off: 17:30 BST When Andy Morrison took over at Gap Connah's Quay last November, the club were struggling at the wrong end of the Welsh Premier League table. But the former Manchester City player oversaw a revival which culminated in the Nomads finishing fifth, their highest ever place. And a 1-0 win over Airbus UK Broughton in the play-off final in May secured their place in Europe for the first time in their history. "It was a special day and will live long in the memory but that's gone now," said Morrison, in his first managerial role after a stint as Airbus UK assistant. "We need to give a good account of ourselves in Europe. We're not kidding ourselves as we know it's going to be a huge ask. "I'm sure our goalkeeper is going to have to be on the top of his game." Stabaek will be Quay's first ever opponents in European and Morrison says the pressure will be on the Norwegian side. "Nobody will expect us to take anything from it," Morrison added. "There will be no glory for them in beating us. It will only be shame on them if they don't get the result against us so that will add massive pressure." Europa League first qualifying round, first leg: Gap Connah's Quay v Stabæk, Belle Vue, Rhyl, Thursday, 30 June, Kick Off: 17:15 BST MBi Llandudno qualified for Europe for the first time in their history at the end of their first season in the Welsh Premier League. Alan Morgan's side finished third and qualified automatically for the Europa League after Airbus UK Broughton failed to beat TNS in the Welsh Cup final. The Seasiders have been handed a tough draw in the first qualifying round, facing Swedish giants IFK Göteborg over two legs. But manager Morgan is undaunted by the prospect of playing the two-time Uefa Cup winners, with the first leg away from home. "I've said to the lads they've got to take it all in but we're there to try and go through to the next round," Morgan said. "I said in May that if we ever had a big team, IFK Göteborg were the team I would like to have. "They've got history and are a massive club but we're going to give a good account of ourselves and give it a good go." Although Llandudno will be making their debut, Morgan gained European experience during a spell as player at Rhyl and assistant at Bangor City. Europa League first qualifying round, first leg: IFK Göteborg v MBi Llandudno, Gamla Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, Thursday, 30 June, Kick Off: 17:30 BST Violet Grace Youens died after being struck in St Helens, Merseyside. Dean Brennan, 27, from Prescot, is due before Liverpool magistrates accused of assisting an offender, motor theft and being a passenger in a stolen car. Police are trying to trace another man, aged 23, who was thought to be in the car and is believed to to have left the country shortly after the crash. Violet's grandmother, Angela French, who was also hit by the car when it mounted a pavement in Prescot Road on Friday, remains in a serious but stable condition. A third man, aged 23 and from Prescot, arrested on suspicion of being a passenger in a stolen vehicle, was released pending further inquiries, Merseyside Police said.

Mr Trump, reported to believe climate change is "mostly bunk", has threatened to withdraw from the UN climate deal. Environment Minister Nick Hurd admitted the Trump victory was "a very big rock chucked in the pool". But he said the world - including the UK - would continue working to curb emissions without the US if necessary. Mr Hurd also stressed that it was impossible to be sure at the moment exactly what Mr Trump's policies would be. Mr Trump's supporters say rules on climate and energy are stifling business. Details of his climate policy are not yet clear, but his team has talked about boosting coal, opening new oil pipelines, and allowing mining on public wilderness or drilling in the Arctic. Mr Hurd told the cross-party Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee that President Obama had led the way in partnership with China towards the Paris climate deal at the end of 2015. Its commitments, agreed to by almost 200 countries, included: Mr Hurd told MPs: "The progress that's been made in terms of the momentum behind the international process and the seriousness [with] which this is taken - not just by governments but by the private sector and capital markets - [means] we're in a completely different place. "We have seen a step change in momentum. "The Trump election is a challenge to that, but there has been a gear change in 2015-16, and it's very hard to overstate the importance of the Paris agreement - if countries do what they say they want to do." He said the private sector was now mostly supportive of the low-carbon economy, and wanted to seize the economic opportunity it offered. The move in this direction globally was now irreversible, he said. The key was to drive down the cost of the transition. Mr Hurd said the UK government would keep its commitment to long-term CO2 targets and its long-delayed emissions reduction plan would be published before the end of March. Mr Hurd admitted the UK was lagging in its plans for cleaning up heating and transport. He said: "We have seen the future of transport, and the future is electric." But he acknowledged that the government needed to do more accelerate the pace of change. Questioned on climate change and Brexit, he said many questions were unresolved: Follow Roger on Twitter @rharrabin The collision happened just before 09:00 BST and the woman, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene. City of London Police shut the Bank junction for four hours and said the cyclist's next of kin were being told. She is the eighth cyclist to die on London's roads this year. Transport for London (TfL) said every death was "one too many" and it was "committed to making all roads safer for everyone". Leon Daniels, from TfL, said the organisation's "deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends" of the cyclist who "tragically lost her life". "Every death on London's road is one too many and we are committed to making all roads safer for everyone," Mr Daniels added. "We will do all we can to help assist the police and the local highway authority as they investigate this terrible incident." On Friday, a 50-year-old cyclist died after colliding with a car in Harrow. Other cyclist fatalities in recent months include 32-year-old Esther Hartsilver, who was killed in a crash in Camberwell, and designer Moira Gemmill who died in a collision with an HGV close to Lambeth Bridge. Last year a total of 13 cyclists were killed on the city's roads and 14 died in 2013. Statistically, the number of cyclist injured or killed on London's roads has fallen. TfL figures released earlier this month show 432 cyclists were seriously injured or killed on the roads in 2014 - the lowest level since records began. London Cycling Campaign's (LCC) chief executive, Ashok Sinha, said the group was "deeply saddened" to hear of the news. "Without knowing the precise circumstances of today's tragedy, fatalities like this underline how urgently we need proper, protected space for cycling, especially at junctions," he said. The campaign group, which said seven of the eight cycling deaths in London this year have involved HGVs, with construction lorries being the main type of vehicle involved, is calling for safer lorry designs to be adopted. It described the six-way junction at Bank as a "dreadful throwback to a past, car-dominated era". Darren Johnson, Green Party member of the London Assembly, said delays in making junctions safer - such as plans to improve Lambeth junction, consulted upon in 2012 as part of the Mayor of London's Better Junction program - were "costing Londoners lives". He said "again and again" plans were discussed and safety improvements were "shelved". "The result is that dangerous junctions stay dangerous and inevitably someone dies, or is seriously injured," he added.

Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, told reporters she was "happy" to be home. "She can go on for many more years," he said of his 93-year-old partner. Gabor had been expected to spend a week in hospital after undergoing hip replacement surgery on 19 July. But her condition began to deteriorate after the operation, forcing her to remain longer than originally anticipated. Her husband said Gabor was "not a young chick" and had been "scared" during her extended stay in hospital. He knew his wife was "in good shape", however, when she "started flirting with the guys who took her home". Gabor - who appeared in such films as Moulin Rouge and Touch of Evil - is partially paralysed and uses a wheelchair following a car accident in 2002 and a 2005 stroke. The Hungarian-born actress was taken back to her Bel-Air mansion on Wednesday in an ambulance that formed part of a four-car convoy. Sgt Harmit Bahra was awarded more than £200,000 when he won a 2014 employment tribunal against Bedfordshire Police. He claimed he was passed over for promotion and victimised while serving with the force between 2007 and 2010. The police watchdog said the conduct of 11 officers and four staff involved in the case was being investigated. Follow live updates on this story and other Bedfordshire news The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said its investigation had reached a "critical and significant stage" and "serious allegations" had been raised "against a large number of officers and staff throughout Bedfordshire Police". Of the 15 people being investigated, 10 are retired or no longer serving with a police force, two are working for other police forces and three remain at Bedfordshire - one of these three is a serving police officer the other two are police staff. The original investigation involved 10 officers and staff but has been widened to include more people. Deputy Chief Constable Mike Colbourne said referring the matter to the IPCC was "only right". "We will not tolerate any type of discrimination and work hard to ensure our workforce treats each other and members of the public with dignity and respect in line with the policing code of ethics at all times," he said. The bill, approved by both sides of the upper house late on Thursday, is one of several measures introduced to fight violent extremism. Attorney-General George Brandis said the laws would apply in "very limited circumstances". At least 90 Australians are believed to be fighting with militant groups such as the so-called Islamic State. About half of them are thought to be dual nationals. Australia is increasingly concerned about the impact on its domestic security of those who support or fight with militants in the Middle East. Mr Brandis said on Friday: "Dual nationals who engage in terrorism are betraying their allegiance to this country and do not deserve to be Australian citizens," he said. He told the senate it was "a significant piece of legislation which will enhance Australia's counterterrorism architecture". The laws do not allow for anyone to be left stateless. The government had amended the bill, introduced to the lower house in June, to increase its chances of surviving an expected challenge in the Australian High Court. Australian Constitutional experts had said the bill was flawed, according to ABC. But Mr Brandis said the legislation was "as strong as we can make it from a constitutional point of view". An independent senator and the Greens party had previously suggested the move could further expose Australians to attacks overseas. "Do we just give up, revoke their citizenship and then let them free range with their sick, twisted minds to do damage to Australians and to other innocents abroad?" said independent senator Nick Xenophon. Greens leader Richard Di Natale said it would be better to jail militants in Australia. "Ultimately we think the safest place for Australian citizens who have been convicted of violent acts, who are indeed criminals, is in custody here in Australia, not roaming the international stage," he said. The FTSE 100 was down 33.96 at 7006.96 The biggest riser was Associated British Foods (ABH), up more than 3% after investment bank Goldman Sachs changed its rating on the stock from "sell" to "buy". Pump maker Weir Group gained 3% on positive news from North America's shale gas producers. An upgrade by broker Credit Suisse also helped boost Weir's share price. The broker said the stock's 17% "underperformance" over the year-to-date made it an attractive option for investors. Another 3% riser was mining company Fresnillo, as it recovered some earlier losses over the week. Among the FTSE 100's biggest fallers were supermarket Morrisons, down 3% and International Consolidated Airlines also down almost 3% despite the Irish parliament - as expected - approving its plan to take over Aer Lingus. On the currency markets, the pound was down on earlier weak UK economic growth data, although it trimmed losses. It ended down 0.27% against the dollar at $1.5273, and down 0.51% against the euro at €1.3954. However, the investment would be for an assembly line with the capacity to produce 250,000 engines a year. That is a third of the number of engines produced now. To win the investment there would need to be a change to working conditions to make it more competitive, according to a letter to workers seen by the BBC. A final decision will be made by Ford in Detroit in July. Meanwhile, Ford has announced that it is opening a new plant in India. The Gujarat plant will have an initial annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles and 270,000 engines. Ford's UK headquarters will not confirm that the Bridgend recommendation has been made nor that workers have been given a letter outlining the proposals. Ford Bridgend currently makes 250,000 engines a year for Jaguar Land Rover which will end in 2018. Its also makes 500,000 petrol engines a year for its own cars but production of that generation of engine is expected to come to and end in the next few years. The Welsh government has confirmed that it has been talking to Ford about a £15m financial package to help it attract the investment to build the next generation of engines. The Ford Bridgend plant opened in 1980 and has fought fierce competition to win successive investments in the past worth more than £2.8bn. The company says its presence supports around 10,000 jobs in south Wales. It makes petrol engines for Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and up until the end of this month Volvo. Work on the new 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine started last year alongside the larger 1.6-litre version. Back in 2013, the company said it produced 3,400 engines a day or one every 24 seconds off the busiest line. It exports to Spain, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Belgium and the USA. The new Dragon petrol engine from around 2018 will replace what is currently being produced. Bridgend is in effect competing with Ford's other engine plants in Valencia in Spain, Cologne in Germany and Craiova in Romania to make the new design engines. More than 200,000 homes are still affected after the discovery of a parasite at a treatment works left residents boiling water since 6 August. Tap water in 80,000 homes was declared safe to drink on Thursday. Parts of Blackpool, Chorley and Preston have been given the all-clear. Gary Dixon, customer services director for United Utilities, said: "We hope to get the warning lifted for the rest of our customers by the end of the coming week." If people have been using their water supply regularly there was no need to flush their system, he added. Water was treated with ultraviolet light to kill the microbial parasite cryptosporidium, and United Utilities said it had assessed hundreds of test results after discussions with Public Health England. The water company has faced criticism about the length of time it has taken to lift the restrictions. It has promised automatic compensation for those affected, although it has not said how much. Public Health England said there had been no confirmed cases of sickness linked to the water supply. Former Director of Public Health in the North West, Prof John Ashton, told BBC Radio Lancashire: "When this started, United Utilities said it would be all sorted within a few days. "One of the concerns that I have is that the duty to the shareholders is of more concern to them than the duty to the public, so there are questions to be asked about how they've handled this incident. "We need a proper picture of where the problems are and we have a right to know. "It's a fundamental public health necessity to have safe drinking water in your house." A statement on the United Utilities website said: "We are now able to lift the boil water advice in [several] postcode areas. "For those still subject to the boil water advice, please continue to boil your water for drinking, brushing teeth and food preparation until we let you know you can stop." It also advised people to check for their postcode on the website or ring the company helpline on 0800 9127241. The 302ft (92m) long aircraft, which is part plane and part airship, nosedived after a test flight at Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire on 24 August. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said the line was hanging free after a first landing attempt had failed. No-one was injured in the accident. At the time of the incident, Airlander's developer, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), said the craft had "experienced a heavy landing and the front of the flight deck sustained some damage". The crew, however, were "safe and well". The AAIB report into the incident stated that ground crew had told Airlander's pilot the mooring line was about 50ft (15m) long, but it was in fact 155ft (47m). The rope became entangled in power lines near the airfield as the pilot attempted a second landing. "The encounter contributed to a high final approach", investigators said. The craft was about 180ft (55m) over the landing site and was "reluctant to descend naturally". The pilot attempted to manoeuvre the aircraft to a nose-down position to bring its mooring line within reach of the ground crew but it "suddenly pitched further down to about 18 degrees and started to descend," the report stated. "There was insufficient height in which to affect a full recovery and the aircraft struck the ground." Repairs were carried out on the cockpit and earlier this week HAV said these were complete and Airlander was undergoing "an extensive test phase prior to its next flight". A new landing system, which will allow it to return to ground from a greater range of angles, and a redesign to allow easier recovery of the mooring line, are among changes that have been made since the crash, the company said. Airlander 10 in numbers Wilson, 30, allegedly made illegal contact with Kruis in the second half of his side's 30-10 defeat on Friday. Kruis, 26, has been cited for biting Wilson during the same incident. The pair, who were both in England's 2015 World Cup squad, will face a Rugby Football Union panel on Tuesday. Kruis was an ever-present during England's Six Nations Grand Slam-winning campaign this year, but Wilson is yet to feature under new head coach Eddie Jones. Hosts Bath had England back Anthony Watson sent off for a dangerous tackle on Saracens full-back Alex Goode during Friday's match at The Rec. The Blue, Black and Whites, who also had scrum-half Chris Cook sin-binned, are investigating reports one of their supporters entered the referee's room to confront the match officials after the game. Saracens wing Chris Ashton, playing for the first time since a 10-week ban for making contact with the eyes of Ulster's Luke Marshall, scored two tries. True, Sir John Major is not the only former Tory leader familiar with being pressured, perhaps held hostage by the Eurosceptics in his party. Or indeed, the only Conservative leader ever to have been challenged by his party's preponderance to "bang on" (to use David Cameron's phrase) about Europe. But arguably his experiences as the leader during bruising encounters with the "bastards" mean his words of warning might hold some value for the current prime minister. For Theresa May, also an unflashy leader who was propelled to No 10 by a surprising political moment, Europe will be defining in a way no others could even have anticipated. In Sir John's carefully calibrated speech tonight, there are plenty of messages for her, some of which may be welcome, some not. First off, having campaigned to stay in the European Union, with sober warnings particularly about the consequences for the Northern Irish peace process, it's no surprise that Sir John says that in his view, Brexit will be a "historic mistake". It is notable, although again not surprising, that he cautions that the UK will be a diminished diplomatic force in the world after we walk away from the EU, with a warning too that we will be less useful to our most important ally the US as a consequence. Also, even as the PM who lived through the Commons trauma of trying to deliver the Maastricht Treaty, it is logical that he calls for Parliament to have a full role in shaping the negotiations over our place in Europe. What may be harder for No 10 to dismiss is Sir John's obvious political concerns about how the public are being treated in the months after the referendum decision. Despite insisting he has no desire to be in politics now, he makes very pointed criticism of the atmosphere around the debate, warning that voters are essentially being misled saying: "People have been led to expect a future that seems to be unreal and over-optimistic. "Obstacles are brushed aside as of no consequence, whilst opportunities are inflated beyond any reasonable expectation of delivery." In his first public comments since the vote, the former prime minister is offering what he describes as a "reality check". And he sounds alarm bells too about the tone of the debate, saying Brexit's "cheerleaders" have shown "contempt" to Remainers, shouting down dissent "against our traditions of tolerance". While he is not seeking to be unhelpful to the government, Sir John plainly has doubts about Number 10's handling of the process so far - the "rosy confidence" being offered to the British people. And in the depths of his speech there is another warning for Theresa May about the Tory MPs she has worked so hard to keep on side - "today they may be allies of the prime minister, the risk is that tomorrow they may not". Might Theresa May face her own "bastards" one day? In recent weeks, with Theresa May determined to keep the Tory party together, and Labour struggling to stay united, the momentum has most certainly been with those celebrating our journey toward the exit door. Ministers, even those who were ardent Remainers, privately sound increasingly optimistic about the prospects of doing a deal. But Sir John Major is not alone in having fundamental concerns. And his voice is harder for the government to dismiss, as they did Tony Blair a couple of weeks ago. One senior figure even told me some of the talks behind closed doors have been a shambles, and raised concern that the government, all of us, are a long way from understanding the full implications of the decision. Yet with almost the only political pressure on her coming from the right, Theresa May has decided to emphasise the opportunity, not the risks. The government is well aware that things could go wrong, but one minister told me "we all have to discover the reality together, when the rubber hits the road". Robert Christie died on 7 June 2014 after the accident on a family friend's farm on Ballynaloob Road in Dunloy. His father, Robert Christie senior, was left critically ill but made a partial recovery. The coroner extended her deepest sympathy to the child's parents. She said the death had again brought to the fore the risks arising with slurry tanks. "I hope by highlighting this tragedy no other family will have to endure what they have had to go through with the death of poor Robert," the coroner said. Robert Christie Snr told the inquest he and his son, who was known as Bob, had gone to crush grain at a neighbour's farm that Saturday morning. The farmer, Robert Brownlow had asked Mr Christie if he would assist him with attaching the slurry pump in the shed. Mr Brownlow said this was a normal procedure but that due to his age and health he was no longer "able to do it myself". "I knew there was a danger, but there had been no problems doing it in the past," he said. Mr Christie said he lifted the covers in the shed and reversed the tractor in. "I attached the pump and saw Bob had got into the tractor cabin with me," he said. "With the tractor straddling the two slats I turned on the pump and sadly that was my last memory of that day." The father and son were found collapsed on the floor of the shed about four feet apart about 30 minutes later by Mr Brownlow who called for help. A postman who was in the area at the time moved Bob from the shed into the house. Despite extensive efforts by neighbours and emergency services he showed no signs of life. He was airlifted to hospital in Belfast but medical staff were unable to resuscitate him. In his report, David Lowe from the Health and Safety Executive said it was likely that both father and son lost consciousness at speed. He told the inquest that he believed Mr Christie, in seeing his son in difficulty, went in closer to the tank to help. "Precautions must be followed when dealing with slurry and in this case many of them were, Mr Lowe said. "The slurry tank was particularly full and the initial stages of agitation (where the gases are mixed) the gases are the most potent." The HSENI guidelines recommend that once the pump is started you remain out of the area for at least 30 minutes. "Also there was very little movement in the air that day which left limited ventilation and led to this catastrophe," Mr Lowe added.

Former Celtic and Everton defender Stubbs took over from Terry Butcher last summer and led Hibs to second place in last season's Championship. However, the Easter Road side missed out on promotion via the play-offs. "Supporters would agree that they have seen a lot of positive changes over the past year, and I know there is a lot more to come," head coach Stubbs said. John Doolan and Andy Holden will continue to assist Stubbs in what he describes as "the work in progress". "I think most supporters would agree that whatever disappointments they have suffered in recent seasons are behind us. We are on the right track now, we're trying to play a winning and exciting brand of football that they want to see and be part of," he added. "We made decent progress last year, this season we all know we need to get promoted. "This is football, so there will be setbacks along the way. It's how we react to those setbacks that will eventually determine how successful we are. If we buckle and fight amongst ourselves we will lose. If we stick together and show our collective commitment, we will win. I'm confident that we can win." Chief Executive Leeann Dempster said: "This is a tremendous demonstration of our ambition at this club. We have a really talented management team, and their desire to stick with us shows that they understand we are determined to get this club back to the top. "Supporters wanted to see that commitment, and Alan, John and Taff [Andy Holden] have all shown their own determination to restore this club to the upper end of Scottish football, where it belongs."

Alan Stubbs and his coaching team have extended their contracts until the summer of 2017.

Councillor Bill Barker and Wisley Golf Club have reported safety concerns - as well as disruption to walkers. Mr Barker said children saw the damaged structure as a challenge, and golf club boss Wayne Sheffield said people were using wire cutters to remove fencing. Surrey County Council (SCC) said talks were under way on replacing the bridge. Mr Barker said storms in December 2013 turned the River Wey into a raging torrent which undercut the embankment and left the bridge on one of the county's most busily-used footpaths slumped and on its side. Notices at the site said the bridge could remain closed until August 2016, he added. But he added: "Any imaginative child looks upon this as a challenge." He said walkers had used a private bridge owned by Wisley Golf Club as an alternative, but said action should have been taken after two years. The club's chief executive said: "There's obviously frustration from walkers. We understand that and we'd like to help more but obviously health and safety-wise it's a big concern with golf balls flying around." The club is keeping a tee closed because access will be needed for bridge repairs. An SCC spokesman said: "We have been involved in initial discussions with the golf club and Environment Agency to work out how the old bridge can be removed and the new structure put in place, and these are ongoing." He said replacing the bridge would cost up to £400,000, and work would start as soon as funds were found.

A footbridge that was damaged in severe floods nearly two winters ago has still not been repaired and is unsafe, a councillor has said.

The claim: There are more border crossings in Ireland than on the whole of the EU's eastern border. Reality Check verdict: This is true - there are 137 land border crossings to the east of the EU, compared with 275 between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. "There are over 300 miles of border between the north and south of Ireland," he said. "And there are more border crossings on this island than there is between the European Union and all the countries to the east of it." It is hard to find a precise figure for the number of land border crossings in Ireland, because there is no definitive view of how major a track or path has to be before it counts as a border crossing. A reasonable figure, though, comes from a website called BorderCrossingMemories.com, which has an interactive map showing the location of 275 crossings. During the Troubles, only 20 of them were open. What makes the border particularly tricky is that some roads cross the border several times, especially around Fermanagh. This is in stark contrast to the eastern border of the EU. On the border between Poland and Ukraine, for example, looking at a map there are only 11 crossings on a 330-mile border and most of them are on major roads. Information about the EU's eastern border comes from Frontex, the European border and coastguard agency. It measures the land border as being 6,000km (3,720 miles) long, covering the borders between EU member states and Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and Russia. It cannot give a figure for the number of roads crossing that border, but it sent a link to a list of borders in EU states. The list was prepared as part of the establishment of the Schengen passport-check-free zone that runs along much of the eastern border of the EU (although not all - Romania, for example, is an EU member but not part of Schengen). So the Romanian borders are based on just counting from a map. Frontex does not consider the borders with Turkey to be part of the eastern border, although if they were counted there are two land borders with Greece and four between Bulgaria and Turkey (those also counted on a map). So that gives a total figure of 137 land border crossings, about half as many as there are in Ireland, despite being 12 times its length. Read more from Reality Check Follow us on Twitter Scotland skipper Greig Laidlaw says his side will employ the tactic of singling out Murray used by Glasgow in the recent European game against Munster. However, Best believes such an approach will only spur on Murray. "Conor wants to make sure the pressure that will be on tomorrow, that he rises to it and it spurs him on," said Best. "He just wants to perform on the day and rise to the occasion. "What Scotland will or won't do, that's what they've been discussing in their team hotel for the last two weeks. "All we can do is make sure that as a pack of forwards, we create a platform for him." Best added that Murray, as a world-class British & Irish Lions number nine, is used to dealing with the kind of pressure which he will face at Murrayfield. "The pressure on the nine, the pressure on the box-kick, it's something that a quality player like Conor expects. He expects them to pressure him around that area." Ireland start this year's Six Nations without injured playmaker Johnny Sexton but skipper Best has backed his Ulster team-mate Paddy Jackson to control the Edinburgh contest. Lions star Sexton is also a doubt for Ireland's second game against Italy next weekend so Jackson occupies the number 10 jersey after starting in Ireland's last game - the win over Australia in late November. "With Paddy and Johnny (Sexton) we have two really, really good out-halves. "It's Jacko's chance now to have a go at it. "He's played the majority of the Tests in the last 12 months. So he's ready to perform." "The poppy, an iconic feature of the rural Tasmanian landscape, has been developed as a tribute to those who fought in World War One," the Rupertswood Farm in Hagley wrote on their Facebook page. The maze has been created in a field of sorghum, a grass crop which is used for food and animal fodder. It opens to the public on 21 February. "It's probably more to reflect all of the people who fought in the First World War," farmer Rowan Clark told ABC News in Australia. "We grow poppies on our farm, it's our main crop so we thought it was a good fit." Mr Clark and his wife Anna used GPS technology and a ride-on mower to create the design. They believe the maze would grow to up to eight feet (2.5m) high. "Hopefully at the opening, it will probably be about four, five feet high, and then it'll get even bigger after that. I think at the end of last year, our crop maze was about seven or eight feet high," he said. After the attraction closes, the sorghum crop will be baled for silage. Last year the pair designed a maze in the shape of a tiger, which more than 2,000 people are thought to have visited. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The Sunday Times has reported the London Marathon was won seven times in 12 years by athletes who have recorded suspicious blood scores. "We are disappointed when we have been doing more than anyone to fight doping in our sport," Bitel told BBC Sport. "This is about the IAAF's failure to take effective action." Bitel added that London Marathon organisers would be discussing the Sunday Times allegations with the IAAF. The claims of widespread doping were made last week by scientists Robin Parisotto and Michael Ashenden, who analysed blood tests from athletes which were accessed by the Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR. But the IAAF has criticised the pair over the allegations and in a statement said the report "contains a number of seriously incorrect assertions". On Friday, Russian Liliya Shobukhova, who won the London Marathon in 2010 and was runner-up in 2011, had her results since 2009 annulled for doping. Bitel says race organisers will now be taking court action to recover £500,000 prize and appearance money paid to the Russian in 2010 and 2011. "Those athletes that have been caught have only been caught because of tests at the London Marathon," he added. "The IAAF needs to do more to stop people from starting who have blood values which are out of the normal range. "But we never get these results even though we are paying tens of thousands to get athletes tested - only after the IAAF finally take action are we made aware, but by then it is too late." In a statement, Bitel said that: In response, an IAAF spokesman said, "All the marathon organisers had a thorough explanation of what the ABP (Athlete Biological Passport) was when the IAAF engaged in joint blood testing with them. "They accepted from day one not to receive the results as they are not competent to act upon the values and the concept of the ABP is based on a series of values, not just a single value. "In four years of co-operation they have never asked to see any results and they do not pay for all the testing." Hyypia, 41, has signed a two-year contract having been out of work since he quit as Brighton boss in December 2014 after just six wins in 26 games. He takes over from Urs Meier, who was sacked on 3 August shortly after a 3-2 home defeat by city rivals Grasshopper. Hyypia also had a spell in charge of German club Bayer Leverkusen but was sacked following a poor run of results. Hyypia, who won 105 caps for Finland, was a Champions League winner at Liverpool in 2005, and was also part of the team who secured a historic FA Cup, League Cup and Uefa Cup treble in 2001. He made 464 appearances in a decade at Anfield, and won seven player of the year awards in his homeland between 1999 and 2008. Volunteers pushed a bed, representing a hospital trolley bed, about 20 miles (32km) from Dunbar Hospital in Thurso to Wick's Caithness General. About 600 people gathered in Wick to greet the bed's arrival. NHS Highland said it was aware of local concerns but added that millions of pounds were being spent on services. The bed was pushed by teams in a relay, with each group taking turns to push it for a mile. The protest was organised by Caithness Health Action Team. Public concerns about the level of health care available in the far north - Caithness and Sutherland - are long standing. Last year, a review of NHS Highland's performance heard public fears that care in the area was "on the brink of meltdown". Bill Fernie, a Highland councillor for Wick, said the support for Sunday's bed push was "very impressive". He told BBC Radio Scotland: "Five hundred to 600 people turned out to greet the final team and then march to the hospital. "It was all about the Caithness people's concerns about what is happening with health services in the far north." NHS Highland said it was aware of the bed push which it said reflected "ongoing concerns, some of which we understand, but in general we don't recognise the cuts in services they are referring to". In a statement the health board said: "The budget is significantly overspent for Caithness and this is because we have been maintaining services where it is safe to do so. "Caithness General Hospital is getting a multi-million pound upgrade. We now have consultant surgeons and physicians regularly rotating and working in Caithness General. "We have also been able to make a number of key local appointments including three rural practitioners and two advanced nurse practitioners. These are all significant investments." The health board said interim measures on the grounds of safety were in place for maternity services. The statement added: "These will remain in place until we know the outcome of our local reviews. We hope to be in position to report on the findings later this year, and our priority will be around safety. "Perhaps the bed march can be a positive catalyst for us all to redouble our efforts to work together to deliver as much safe care as locally as possible." But after floods wreaked havoc across Northern Ireland, the school has turned their field into County Fermanagh's newest canoe polo venue. Students took on their teachers in a game of canoe polo played in kayaks on Thursday. The pupils had the bragging rights after winning that match 4-2. They celebrated by dunking their teachers and capsizing their boats. Water levels on the pitch are currently two to three feet deep. Teacher Colin Lyons said there was "banter" between the staff and the students in the lead up to the game. "The pupils have benefited from six weeks practise, the staff have some experience and inexperience." Mr Lyons said that a number of safety precautions were in place for the match. "There's a good flush of water from Lough Erne through there, which means the water is clean and safe," he said. Mr Lyons said the only concerns around the match related to the cold. Flooding has affected how Devenish College students travel to school each day. "A lot of the pupils are from rural areas so it has been quite difficult to get in," Mr Lyons said. "Thankfully people have been able to find a way, people in Fermanagh have been quite resourceful in finding ways of getting people back into schools." The announcement followed weeks of intensive efforts to unite the movement behind the man who succeeded Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar. Following the announcement of Omar's death in July, Mullah Mansour was quickly installed as the new Amir ul-Mumineen, Commander of the Faithful. The decision was initially opposed by some of Mullah Omar's followers. The new emir's main challengers were Mullah Omar's brother and eldest son - until now relatively unknown, who questioned the way he was appointed. But both eventually pledged loyalty to Mullah Mansour. "Mullah Yaqoub, the son and Mullah Manan, the brother of Mullah Omar, swore their allegiances to the new leader in a splendid ceremony," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told the BBC last week, without revealing the location of the gathering. "Now the movement will continue in a united manner." In recent weeks, hundreds of Taliban commanders, fighters and clerics travelled in and out of Pakistan to try to overcome the open divisions. Reports from the Pakistani city of Quetta near the Afghan border said the consultations required local supporters to host hundreds of Taliban in mosques, madrassas and private houses, and organise transport and supplies. The task of unifying the movement appears as yet incomplete with some senior figures still threatening to disobey Mansour and run their own faction and their own insurgent attacks. The effort put into overcoming the early challenge to Mullah Mansour's leadership suggests how important it was for the movement to preserve unity. Waheed Mozhda, a Kabul-based expert who used to work in the Taliban foreign ministry before they were driven from power in 2001, says the group realises that unity is key to their survival. "Their enemies are stronger than they are and therefore they know that if there are differences they will be wiped out," Mr Mozhda says. Barnett Rubin, a leading US expert on Afghanistan, says the Taliban have been bound together by a coherent ideology that has so far prevented any splits. "The Taliban were founded to put an end to factionalism and there is a strong presumption against it," says Mr Rubin, "Everyone follows the commands of the emir. There have been dissident individuals who left or were expelled from the organisation, but once they were expelled or left, they lost all influence." The BBC spoke to a number of experts on the Taliban to build up a picture of how the group operates under its new leader. Mullah Mansour as the emir heads a strictly organised command structure with two deputies. One of these is Sirajuddin Haqqani, a leader of the Haqqani network which has been blamed for some of the most violent attacks inside Afghanistan. Sirajuddin Haqqani is wanted by the US who have offered a reward of $5m for his arrest. The layer below is formed by an 18-member leadership council, the Rahbari Shura. It has just been expanded to 21 under Mullah Mansour, according to the Pakistani writer Rahimullah Yusufzai, who says that the leadership belongs almost entirely to Afghanistan's Pashtun ethnic group. "Only two members are non-Pashtun, an ethnic Tajik and an ethnic Uzbek from northern Afghanistan," he says. "Besides that an overwhelming majority of the Rahbari Shura members are from the southern provinces of Kandahar, Uruzgan and Helmand, known as the heartland of the Taliban movement and its birthplace." The leadership council oversees around a dozen commissions - effectively the ministries of the Taliban. Borhan Osman of the respected Afghanistan Analysts Network, AAN, says the military commission is the most important, running the insurgency. "The head of the military commission is a person equivalent to a defence minister in a country." On the ground the insurgency is run by a network of regional commanders and shadow governors in the different provinces of Afghanistan, Mr Osman says. In parallel to the insurgency, the Taliban run a political commission with an office in Qatar, set up as an international point of contact to facilitate initial peace talks. With the leadership thought to be based in Pakistan and commanders and fighting units scattered over many different Afghan provinces, communication is a major challenge, BBC Urdu's Islamabad bureau editor, Haroon Rashid, says the main consideration is keeping sensitive information safe. "The best and safest option for them is through 'word of mouth'," he says. "But they have also been communicating through written letters. I have seen some letters in North Waziristan's main town of Miranshah which suggests that written letters were the most popular way of communicating." Borhan Osman says field commanders and shadow governors will use electronic methods too. "While the provincial governor may not be himself talking to one of his commanders, one of his aides might do it, using all this code language, maybe talking on the phone and also increasingly now on walkie-talkies when they are close by in the same area." Some of the names used for the Taliban leadership council, such as the "Quetta Shura" suggest a firm base in a specific location, but Borhan Osman says such terms are misleading. "It's a name for a mechanism rather than for a headquarters," he says. "They meet at the home of one of the members or supporters. The next day they meet in another town." Haroon Rashid agrees that it would be wrong to think of the Taliban as an organisation with a firm infrastructure. "They survive on the bare minimum," he says. "They remain on the move all the time. Pakistani seminaries and mosques have remained their favourite place to operate from." The Taliban have traditionally relied on donations from sympathisers in the Gulf. But some experts say that such "foreign aid" has dwindled. "I have the impression that this source has decreased as the focus of global jihad is now back in the Arab world itself," says Barnett Rubin. "Inside Afghanistan the main income seems to come from protection rackets and tolls, bribes or taxes collected or extorted from commercial and other traffic." Mr Rubin says that some Taliban also own businesses in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. "The Haqqanis have a large business network in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, including the sale of honey. And of course everyone in Afghanistan who controls land that grows poppy or roads over which opiates are transported makes money from protection and extortion of the drug industry." The potential of Afghanistan's national resources has also not been lost on the Taliban. The ex-Taliban official Waheed Mozhda says that the group added a special branch to its finance committee to deal with mining just last year. "The committee leases those mines under the Taliban's control to people and companies," he says. The Afghan government consistently claims that its neighbour Pakistan is supporting the Afghan Taliban, something Islamabad rejects. "Pakistan officially denies it has any control whatsoever over the Afghan Taliban," says Haroon Rashid. "But there is hardly any denying the fact that Pakistan has influence on them and has contacts." Barnett Rubin says that claims the Pakistani security services, the ISI, have close connections have some credibility. "It is quite possible that many Taliban operations are directly run by ISI or ISI contractors embedded with the Taliban," he says. "This was the case during 1994-2001." Mr Rubin says that Pakistan may use the Taliban to further its strategic interests in Afghanistan: "Pakistan wants to use the pressure of Taliban operations in Afghanistan to prevent consolidation of a pro-Indian or pro-Pashtunistan government. They have said so. But implicitly they are offering to stop the Taliban insurgency if those demands are met." Pakistan of course has its own insurgency to deal with at home, the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), as well as al-Qaeda affiliated groups. Observers say that while links to the Afghan Taliban exist, this amounts to little practical co-operation. "The TTP has pledged allegiance to Mullah Omar and by default [they] would be transferring that allegiance to Akhtar Mansour," according to the AAN's Borhan Osman. "But even from the beginning it was more of a symbolic solidarity. The TTP is a completely different organisation, with a different ideology, different goals, different mechanisms. It's the same as with al-Qaeda. It pledged allegiance to the Taliban, but that is just symbolic solidarity." One potential rival to the Afghan Taliban has emerged with some insurgents in Afghanistan declaring allegiance to the Islamic State group which claims a presence in some parts of the country. But observers say these are mainly disgruntled fighters. "Some Taliban with grievances against the leadership and who found it impossible to organise factions, instead left the organisation and joined IS," says Barnett Rubin. There are still some challengers to the new emir's authority. One prominent field commander in southern Afghanistan, Mullah Mansour Dadullah has accused the new leader of being a puppet of the Pakistani intelligence service and there have been reports of clashes between his supporters and mainstream Taliban fighters. But despite these challenges, the AAN's Borhan Osman thinks there is no sign that the Taliban are seriously weakening. "The fight is going [on] as intensive as ever. So we don't see any changes on the ground, so far at least." A man appeared in court last week charged with the murder of Janet Commins, 15, in Flint, as well as rape and sexual assault. Janet's body was found on a school playing field on 11 January 1976. Eileen Commins said she had been "very moved" by flowers laid at the town's Gorsedd stone circle. The meeting on Thursday morning comes as Mr Barnier prepares for the second round of negotiations between the UK and EU next week. He will also hold talks with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Carwyn Jones, the Welsh first minister. But speaking on Wednesday, he stressed that Brexit negotiations would only be done with the UK government. Mr Barnier said: "I have always made clear that I will listen to different points on view in the British debate. "Of course, I will only negotiate with the UK government." He also called on the UK to offer more clarity on its position on the "divorce bill" financial settlement with the EU - which estimates have put at anywhere between €60bn to €100bn (£53bn to £89bn). UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told MPs earlier this week that the EU can "go whistle" for any "extortionate" final payment. Mr Barnier said there were also major differences between the EU and UK on the rights of EU citizens living in Britain as well as on the "divorce bill". He said those issues - along with the nature of the future border with the Republic of Ireland - must be dealt with before future UK-EU trade could be discussed. Ms Sturgeon, Scotland's first minister, has consistently called for the Scottish government to have a "seat at the table" for the Brexit negotiations. She has also called for a "short pause" in the Brexit process so consensus can be built across the UK on the best way forward. The first minister wants membership of the European single market and the customs union to be at the heart of the process. But Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted the UK will be leaving both. The UK government has also previously rejected Ms Sturgeon's calls for the Scottish government to be involved in the Brexit talks, and for Scotland to keep its single market membership even if the rest of the UK leaves. But it has pledged to "consult" with the UK's devolved administrations during the Brexit process. Speaking ahead of Ms Sturgeon's meeting with Mr Barnier, the Scottish Liberal Democrats urged her to push for an acknowledgment that Brexit can be cancelled and that the British people should have the final say on whatever deal is negotiated with the EU. New Mills, who play in the eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One North, had lost all of their league and cup games this season. But on Tuesday night the Derbyshire club drew 2-2 with Witton Albion to earn their first point of the campaign. "I just hope it can be a springboard for the rest of the season," said manager Garry Brown. In front of a crowd of 218 at Witton Albion's Wincham Park in Northwich, New Mills twice led through Darryl Mason. But goals from Danny Andrews and Rob Hopley earned the home side a draw as the Millers earned a point for the first time since 11 April, 2015. "We have got rid of that duck," Brown, the club's fourth manager since June, told BBC Sport. "The 'worst team in England' tag had driven me. I know we are not and I think we can still surprise a few people this season. New Mills is no longer a place to get easy points. "It was a fantastic performance and just what the lads deserve." Christopher Hopkins, 41, is said to have targeted three alleged victims between 2006 and 2013. They included an under-age girl, a 17-year-old girl and a Merseyside Police colleague, Preston Crown Court heard. Mr Hopkins, of Whickham Close, Widnes, Cheshire, denies five counts of sexual assault. The married father also denies one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, and one count of misconduct in a public office. Opening the prosecution, Richard Haworth told jurors: "The Crown's case, in a nutshell, is that he was unable to contain his sexual urges and all of these alleged offences were committed to satisfy his predatory sexual nature." The first complainant was aged between 13 and 15 when Mr Hopkins visited her home address after she had been reported missing. While alone together in the kitchen, the court heard, he commented that she looked old for her age and effectively "gave her the once over" as he looked her up and down. Mr Haworth said the complainant felt "intimidated" when Mr Hopkins asked her for a kiss. She went to give him a kiss on the cheek but the defendant turned and kissed her on the lips, the jury was told. The next alleged victim was a work colleague, the court heard. Mr Hopkins is said to have approached her desk at the police station and twice suggested they could have a sexual liaison - offers she rejected, the court heard. The third complainant, who was 17 at the time, was given a lift home by Mr Hopkins in his marked patrol car as she walked from a friend's house. Mr Haworth said he drove her to a secluded location and parked before engaging in "sexually explicit" conversation. The defendant also allegedly arranged over the internet to meet a man for sexual activity when he should have been on duty. The trial continues. It left the former Ryder Cup captain from Northern Ireland on six over par overall, with the cut at two under par. Starting on the 10th, Clarke began his second round steadily but then had a double bogey on the par-four 16th and dropped another shot at 17. Martin Kaymer of Germany leads the tournament on 12 under par. Rafa Cabrera Bello of Spain is on 11 under par, with Paul Dunne of Ireland one of three players a shot further back. Wicklow man Dunne picked up four shots on his first nine, including an eagle on the 18th hole. He finished with a six-under-par 66 to lie on 10 under along with England's Tommy Fleetwood and Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand. Vardy, 28, grabbed his fifth of the season as the Foxes - bottom at the start of April - made it seven wins in nine games. Marc Albrighton doubled the Foxes tally, before Leonardo Ulloa, Esteban Cambiasso and Andrej Kramaric added further goals after the break. QPR's Charlie Austin, also called-up by England, headed a consolation. Media playback is not supported on this device It was a fitting end to the season for Nigel Pearson's side, who had already achieved the seemingly impossible and secured Premier League football for a second successive season. Pearson's team were bottom of the table and seven points adrift at the beginning of April but have picked up 22 points from the last nine games to avoid relegation and a return to the Championship. For Chris Ramsey, meanwhile, in his first game in permanent charge of QPR, it was proof that a major rebuilding job is required over the summer as he prepares for life in the second tier. Media playback is not supported on this device QPR were simply outclassed by a Leicester side that were in party mode from the first whistle and dominated throughout. Vardy - named in Roy Hodgson's England squad for the games against the Republic of Ireland and Slovenia next month - opened the scoring on 16 minutes when he pounced on an error by QPR keeper Alex McCarthy, who spilled a tame-looking effort from Riyad Mahrez. Albrighton, a threat all afternoon, ran unchallenged into the area to ram home Jeffrey Schlupp's cross and make it 2-0. Foxes top-scorer Ulloa notched his 13th of the campaign, though he did not know much about it - Wes Morgan's deflected shot hitting him in the chest and going in - before crowd favourite Cambiasso drilled in a fourth. Austin salvaged some pride for the visitors by rising beautifully to head in Joey Barton's cross. Vardy and Cambiasso departed to a standing ovation before substitute Kramaric pounced on yet another defensive error by the visitors to complete the demolition. Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson on Jamie Vardy's England call-up: "Being called up is a reflection of his development as a player and of the sort of team he has played in. If you are going to break into the England side you need to be playing exceptionally well - but also your team-mates need to be playing well as well." On Esteban Cambiasso's future: "It is unbelievable that he has been able to perform at the level he has in a side that has not always been able to produce winning results. He has been a big part of us retaining our status. I hope he stays but he needs time to reflect." QPR boss Chris Ramsey: "We are in the position we are because we haven't had the quality to takes chances when they come and because we've made too many errors in defence. Everybody here wants to look to the future and to start putting plans in place to get back to where we want to be as a club." The final day of the Premier League season, as it happened.

Chairman Blane Dodds is to submit proposals to funding partners in a bid to realise the project. "It's important to capitalise on the momentum we have just now in British tennis," Murray told BBC Scotland. "There's a lot of positive stuff going on. "We haven't been in this position for a very long time, so it's a good opportunity to try to inspire some kids and get more of them into the sport." Andy, 29, ranked second in the world, won his third Grand Slam title this year at Wimbledon and made it back-to-back Olympic golds, while Jamie, 30, is fourth in the doubles rankings, also with three majors to his name. On the plans for more indoor facilities, Murray added: "While we are still playing and still visible, it's probably a good time. "Me and Jamie won't be playing forever. I've maybe got three or four more years at the top level. Maybe Jamie, at doubles, can go on a bit longer. "The more facilities the better. The weather in Scotland isn't great and it can be expensive to play indoors. Hopefully, they follow through on that promise."

The defence ended with a 3-2 semi-final defeat to Argentina in Glasgow at the weekend, with the siblings continuing their unbeaten record in doubles. "It's an unbelievably hard competition to win," said Murray, who was troubled by a thigh strain in Sunday's singles win over Guido Pella. "Argentina, who are in the final now, are trying to win for the first time and they've had great players for a very long time. "I think it has brought more fans into tennis. When we are playing as a team and playing for your country, the players and fans are passionate. "The atmosphere at the ties is incredible and people enjoy that. It's something different from week-to-week tour life." Find out how to get into tennis in our special guide. Murray, who played on each day against Argentina, including a marathon singles loss to Juan Martin Del Potro, will go ahead with a charity exhibition match in Glasgow on Wednesday but stressed that he is in need of a break after a punishing schedule. Prior to his surprise quarter-final defeat against Kei Nishikori at the US Open, he had a run of reaching seven consecutive finals, winning the Rome Masters, Queen's, Wimbledon and the Olympic singles. Murray is due to play in Beijing, Shanghai and Vienna before ending the season with the Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour Finals in London but may now alter those plans. Corrie Mckeague, from Dunfermline, Fife, vanished from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September. Officers have located images of the individuals, believed to be the same people shown in previously-released images, who are yet to be identified. The images were captured in the market town between 03:15 and 05:20 BST. On Monday, it emerged Mr Mckeague is due to become a father. The 23-year-old, who is based at nearby RAF Honington, was last seen at about 03:25 BST at a loading bay area known as the "horseshoe". He was seen walking alone after a night out with friends from the airbase. More than 1,000 hours of CCTV footage has been looked at since his disappearance. Suffolk Police said they wanted those captured in the images to get in touch. Det Supt Katie Elliott said: "It should be stressed that these are just potential witnesses and it's possible they may not be aware that they may be able to assist. "We need to identify all those on the released images as we are trying to rule out all possibilities and therefore we do need to speak to you." Shares in the tech giant only rose a modest 0.6%, but it was enough to break through the barrier. Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French presidential election and strong US corporate results have calmed the markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 36 points, or 0.17%, to 20,975. The S&P 500 fell 2.4 points or 0.1% to 2,396, while the Nasdaq index rose 17 points or 0.29% to 6,120. The Vix, Wall Street's "fear gauge", hit 9.56 points, the lowest since late 2006, a day after closing at its lowest level in over two decades. A falling Vix typically indicates a bullish outlook for stocks. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose to its highest in a month, while gold prices fell, indicating a shift in investor preference for riskier assets. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals jumped more than 25% after the company posted its first profit in six quarters. Endo International, Office Depot and Marriott also rose after reporting better-than-expected quarterly earnings. A piece of equipment failed at an electricity substation near Lenadoon. An investigation is under way. Witnesses described hearing a bang and flash of light in the sky at about 23:15 BST. Many people believed it was an explosion. Three Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue crews were called to the scene. Sarah McClintock, NIE, said a fault had caused a dip in power. "Equipment failure could cause a bang and a flash which we believe is what people saw last night," she said. "There was nothing sinister involved. It was a piece of equipment that failed in one of our sub stations and that would have caused the flash and could also have caused the dip in power that we have seen." Ms Hamilton was elected as a list MSP for the South of Scotland in 2016, but hopes to win the constituency seat vacated by Tory colleague John Lamont. The Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire by-election will be held on 8 June, the same day as the snap general election. Ms Hamilton's list seat remains with the Conservatives, with Michelle Ballantyne next on the list. She leads the Conservative group on Borders Council, so a decision on whether she takes up the Holyrood seat will not be taken until after Thursday's council elections. The Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire by-election was triggered by the resignation of Mr Lamont, who is contesting the corresponding Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk constituency in the Westminster election. He is seeking to unseat the SNP's Calum Kerr, who has the slimmest majority in Scotland of 328 votes or 0.6% from the 2015 vote. Also contesting that election are former Labour MP Ian Davidson and Lib Dem Caroline Burgess. Meanwhile in the Holyrood seat, which Mr Lamont held with a majority of 23.4% in 2016, Labour have put forward Sally Prentice and the Lib Dems are standing Catriona Bhatia. Günther Oettinger was highly criticised for comments including: "Stupidity is something you can only partly save people from." He will become the EU's digital economy and society commissioner in November. One MEP, Julia Reda, laid into the commissioner: "The statement is unbelievable," she said. In a blog post, Ms Reda - who represents the Pirate Party - said: "The person applying to be in charge of shoring up trust in the internet so that Europeans do more business online, just blamed people whose personal data was accessed and spread without authorisation. "He placed the moral blame for that crime squarely on the victims rather than the perpetrators." Ms Reda posted a video of the meeting on YouTube. When asked by the BBC to clarify his comments, Mr Oettinger said: "Everybody has a right to privacy. The EU Commission wants to make cloud computing safer." Asked if he would like to apologise for, or expand on, his comments, Mr Oettinger's spokeswoman told the BBC: "No." Mr Oettinger was speaking during a meeting in Brussels on Monday. He was referring to the leak of intimate pictures featuring more than 80 famous women, including actress Jennifer Lawrence and pop star Rihanna. Members of the 4Chan message board first posted the images, which appeared to have been obtained by accessing private cloud storage accounts. Before making the comments Mr Oettinger said he was being "semi-serious". After hesitating, he went on to say: "The fact that recently there have been an increasing number of public lamentations about nude photos of celebrities who took selfies - I just can't believe it. "If someone is dumb enough as a celebrity to take a nude photo of themselves and put it online, they surely can't expect us to protect them. "I mean, stupidity is something you can not - or only partly - save people from." Critics of Mr Oettinger's view have pointed out that while the images were technically "online", they were in fact kept private - the images were stolen from private cloud accounts belonging to the celebrities. Ms Reda said: "By making a mockery of what he should recognize as a serious problem and by doing it in this aloof and insulting tone, Günther Oettinger is seriously calling into question whether he is qualified for the job of shaping our digital society for the next five years." Der Spiegel said the comments demonstrated that Mr Oettinger had "no clue about current events and issues at the core of his new resort". Follow Dave Lee on Twitter @DaveLeeBBC After today's announcement that 800 jobs are being created in Solihull, global brand director John Edwards said: "We're only going to build in China for the Chinese market. "Our job is to keep our three factories in the UK buzzing." The Gaydon-based firm has released record global sales figures for 2012, showing sales in China rose by 70%. The firm sold 71,940 vehicles in China last year, meaning it has now overtaken the UK to become JLR's biggest market. In November the Indian-owned company announced a deal to complete a car plant near Shanghai by 2015, allowing it to manufacture vehicles in China for the first time. Last month it also emerged that JLR is considering building cars in Saudi Arabia. Jaguar Land Rover recorded sales in 177 countries for 2012 and currently exports 85% of production from its factories in Birmingham, Merseyside and Coventry. Mr Edwards added: "We're looking to build our workforce in Solihull, but it's not just about Solihull. Gaydon, Whitley and Castle Bromwich are all good places to be at the moment." He said the manufacturer continues to have "significant growth ambitions" and is looking to expand markets in Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. "China's very important, it's the biggest car market in the world and it's our fastest growing market," Mr Edwards continued. "We grew by more than 70% in China last year. "But it still only accounts for 20% of our volume. "One of real success factors is that we're a global business. "We export 85% of our production from the UK and we go the world over." Rachael Eade, from the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS), said people living in China Russia and India "really want to buy premier goods". Ms Eade said: "They will still be making cars in Britain for the foreseeable future. "Part of the reason is the overseas buyers like to be able to drive cars that are designed and made in the UK." The news of the job creation at JLR would have a big impact on the local economy in the West Midlands, according to Ms Eade. She said: "Every job created at Jaguar Land Rover, or any other vehicle manufacturer, equates to two or three in the supply chain. "Smaller local companies are being encouraged to invest in new factories, new technologies and new machinery. "MAS wants to help companies to get ready to up their speed and their ability to produce and get the goods to Jaguar Land Rover ready to build cars." Linda Carson was walking her dog on Muirhouse Road, in the Muirhouse area of Motherwell, when she was struck by a silver Ford Mondeo at 20:12 on Sunday. Emergency services attended but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said inquiries into the crash were continuing and appealed for anyone who saw the incident or was in the area at the time to get in touch. It is believed thieves took a safe from The Bungo Bar and Kitchen on Nithsdale Road at about 06:30 on Monday. In a statement on social media, The Bungo said two men broke in the back door and carried the safe from the office into a car in the back lane. Police Scotland confirmed they were investigating the robbery of a four-figure sum of cash. The restaurant's statement said: "Bad news from the Bungo- we got burgled at about 6.30am yesterday morning. "Two men broke in the back door and got into the office where they managed to lift the whole safe and make away with it into a car in the back lane. "If anyone saw anything can they please contact us or go directly to the police on 101. "There must have been quite a lot of noise as they had to use a crowbar to get in. "Please share with other locals." The Welsh Government says it wants to improve exam results and aspirations of those who need extra support. Lifelong Learning Minister Alun Davies has said the current system is "no longer fit for purpose". But some teaching unions have said they have "serious concerns" about the new bill and are waiting to see the full details of the planned legislation. If passed, the Additional Learning Needs and Educational Tribunal (ALNET) Bill could come into force by 2019. Last year, 23% of pupils with ALNs achieved five GCSEs compared with 59% of all pupils in Wales. In September, the Children's Commissioner for Wales criticised the current process for assessing children with ALNs and said the planned new legislation was "a one in a generation opportunity". As part of the bill, a single system - called an individual development plan - will replace "statements" which currently address the needs of an individual aged up to 25. The bill would also replace two terms known as "special educational needs" and "learning difficulties and/or disabilities", from which the current "statements" take their names. Nearly a quarter of learners in Wales experience some form of additional learning need during their early years or education, according to the Welsh Government. However, following the draft consultation on the new laws over the summer, several teaching unions flagged worries about the legislation. A joint statement by the ATL, NAHT Cymru, UCAC and UCU unions said ALN "must be properly funded, with prevention of cuts by local authorities to ALN budgets". The unions also demanded that educational establishments must have access to specialist services, such as psychologists and speech therapists, and that the all-important assessment process was made clear. UCAC said it welcomed the bill in general but wanted more assurances for Welsh speaking pupils. Plaid Cymru education spokesman Llyr Gruffydd welcomed the bill and said his party would "work to ensure it offers the strongest possible support" for children and young people with additional learning needs in Wales. He added: "The current system for supporting those with special educational needs is based on a model that was introduced over 30 years ago. It's no longer fit for purpose and reform is long overdue." Darren Millar of the Welsh Conservatives said his party also welcomed the bill, saying: "We look forward to scrutinising the legislation to ensure that it addresses key concerns around staffing capacity, finances and access to professionals for those who need them." Mustafina won with a score of 15.900 to add a gold medal to the silver and bronze she had already won in Rio. Victory took the 21-year-old's tally of Olympic medals to seven after she won four on her debut at London 2012. Madison Kocian of the United States won silver with a score of 15.833 with Germany's Sophie Scheder taking bronze with 15.566. The International Gymnastics Federation only announced on 4 August, the day before the Games started, that 20 Russian gymnasts had been cleared to compete in Rio. This was the first women's gymnastics gold medal in Rio not be won by the United States. All along the streets of north Kensington, eyes are fixed on the blazing shards of Grenfell Tower. In the gaps between houses, members of the public mingle with journalists from across the world, all watching flames still visible in the upper storeys of the block. Every so often debris lifts from the tower and floats off into the air. Overhead a police helicopter thrums, while an acrid burning smell is carried by the breeze. Large groups of residents have congregated near the police cordon, many clutching the few belongings they managed to grab when they were evacuated. In the shadow of the blackened building, some lie on the grass. They look like they're catching some lunchtime sunshine, except their possessions are scattered around them. One man has an electric guitar casually slung over his shoulder. "I had to grab it," he says. Two girls wearing pyjamas and dressing gowns walk past dragging suitcases. "It's unbelievable," says one woman who sits against a wall. "I saw people jumping out of windows. I heard their screams." Another cries out, having learnt the fate of somebody who was in the tower. People rush towards her to give her comfort. "It's a lot to take in. It's very emotional. I'm still shaking here now," one man says. Elena Maravilla, who has lived in the area for 40 years, stands with her husband in the shade of a tree, hoping for information about friends in the tower. She was evacuated from her flat and is in limbo, waiting for details about when they can return home. "We saw the flames. It was scary, everyone was shouting. It was suddenly gone." The mood has an almost post-apocalyptic air. Though the estate is humming with emergency services, there are pockets of silence as people take in the night's events. Some have headed to the evacuation centre at St Clement's Church where a constant line of people pushing trolleys full of water and food continue to arrive at the front door. One of those generous donors is Felix Mosey, who went to the supermarket and bought water, fruit and sandwiches. He is just one of many who have offered to help. "It's my area and I wanted to play my part," he says. "It's shocking what has happened, but the community has come together."

The 21-year-old was given five years of probation last August and six months of community labour after pleading guilty to assaulting pop star Rihanna. Seen recently in the film Takers, Brown has been cleaning roads and removing graffiti in his home state of Virginia. During a brief court hearing, Judge Patricia Schnegg said he had been "working diligently" on his duties. "Out of thousands of probationers, no one has done a better or more consistent job than you have," she said on Thursday. "I really want to commend you for taking responsibility and for actually working diligently to complete all the things the court has required of you." Brown has almost completed the domestic violence counselling he was required to undertake as part of his sentence. "Obviously he's gratified and he's working hard to live up to everyone's expectations," said his lawyer, Mark Geragos. Brown was arrested in February 2009 after attacking Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, on the eve of the Grammy Awards. The singer, whose hits include Run It! and Kiss Kiss, later said he was "very sad and very ashamed" of his actions. Gurney, whose previous best in the tournament was the last 32, lost the opening set but won the next three. The Londonderry man missed five darts to secure victory and Welshman Webster fought back to level at 3-3. Gurney prevailed 3-1 in the deciding set and he will meet world number one Michael van Gerwen on Friday night. Webster won the first set 3-0 before struggling on the doubles and Gurney capitalised to take control of the match at Alexandra Palace. Gurney clinched a tight second set 3-2 before winning 3-2 and 3-0 to leave the 30-year-old just one set away from victory. However, it was Gurney's turn to miss doubles and Webster won the next two sets by a 3-2 scoreline. Gurney failed with a sixth attempt to seal it before finally seeing off Webster 3-1 in the final set. "I'm really relieved to come through," Gurney told Sky Sports. "I should have won it earlier by 4-1 or 4-2 - my darts to win the match were dreadful." Discussions have taken place over the prospect of arranging a match in Kiev next March. "We're hoping that will be one of the [friendly] games," said Wales assistant manager Osian Roberts. "It's quite obvious to see the similarities with Russia so we're trying to mirror the games in the tournament with the preparation games." The fixture has an obvious attraction for Ukraine too, given they will face Northern Ireland in Group C in France next summer. Russia will be Wales' final Group B opponents in Euro 2016 on 20 June in Toulouse, following games against Slovakia (11 June) and England (16 June). Wales' preparations for the finals began with a 3-2 loss to the Netherlands at Cardiff City Stadium in November. There are two friendly dates designated in March, with a final warm-up match likely to be staged at the end of May, preferably at home. Ukraine booked their place in the finals by beating Slovenia in the play-offs. They finished third in their group behind Spain and Slovakia. "It's important that the friendly games are a useful exercise for us in preparation for the summer," added Roberts on BBC Radio Wales. "Ukraine would be a perfect preparation game for us, no doubt about that." Wales and Ukraine have met twice before in 2001, with both games ending 1-1 during the 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign. The incident happened on Gilmerton Dykes Avenue, Edinburgh, between 05:00 and 07:00 on Monday. Nobody was injured but damage was caused to the property. Police said they would have an increased presence in the area over the next few days. A 24-year-old man was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday. BBC News has learned that the vehicle will be go on display in the Science Museum in London in early 2017. The Russian Soyuz TMA-19M craft has been refurbished, but is still slightly singed from re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Major Peake told BBC News that he was "absolutely delighted" to hear his spacecraft would be brought to the UK. "Hopefully it may act as an inspiration for the next generation of scientists and engineers," he said. "Flying into space is a huge privilege but it also comes with risk and one of the highest risk areas are launch into space and re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. "The Soyuz spacecraft is designed to protect the crew from these harsh conditions. So you get very attached to your spacecraft because it definitely does save your life." Britain's first astronaut, Helen Sharman, said she hoped the acquisition would have an inspirational effect. "I think it is a tremendous thing to have Tim's capsule. Not just a Soyuz capsule - but it is Tim's. And the fact that we know that our astronaut was actually inside it - he physically sweated inside that suit, he looked outside of that window and saw what it was like to re-enter Earth's atmosphere - it really provides us with the link to our own astronauts," she told BBC News. The space suit used by Ms Sharman on her mission to the Mir space station in 1991 is on display at the Science Museum. She said that it was important to have real artefacts that had actually been in orbit for people in the UK to view. "Even now, 25 years after my space flight, people want to touch me even though every cell in body has probably regenerated," she said. "It is really significant (having Tim's Soyuz in the UK). It is not a mock up, it is not a simulator, it is not someone else's Soyuz. The fact that our own astronaut actually did things inside provides us with a connection to human spaceflight. "It might only be psychological as it will look very similar to other Soyuz spacecraft that have actually re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, but it's not - this is Tim's." The Science Museum's group director, Ian Blatchford, said he hoped that the museum's acquisition would help inspire future generations. "It is a great honour to be here to officially acquire the first flown human spacecraft in the Science Museum Group collection, one which allowed Tim Peake to make his historic journey to the International Space Station which we plan to share with the public," he said. Ms Sharman said that seeing the spacecraft would make children believe that they too might be able to follow in Tim Peake's footsteps. "I think that is the whole point about all this - the fact that someone else sat in that seat. Well you know what? So can they," she said. "Astronauts might be well trained - but basically we are just people, like everybody else. And there are many other people we hope will be inspired - if not to go into space themselves one day, to think about the science that enables astronauts to go into space and make the world a better place." Follow Pallab on Twitter On Sunday, Home Secretary Amber Rudd refused to say whether the pledge - which was in the 2010 and 2015 Tory manifestos - would be repeated. But the BBC understands it will definitely be in the 2017 manifesto. The target, set by David Cameron in 2010, has never been met and recent figures put net migration at 273,000. The Conservative manifesto, setting out the party's policies if it wins 8 June's general election, is expected to be published next week. Questions had been raised about whether the migration target would be in it after Culture Secretary Karen Bradley said that immigration was "not about putting numbers on it" but about ensuring Britain had the skilled workers it needed. Asked whether she agreed with her colleague, Ms Rudd told BBC Radio 5 live's Pienaar's Politics: "It's too early to say. "I appreciate you want to push me on this but we are going to have to wait until the manifesto comes out." Pressed on the issue again, she added: "That's why we're having a new manifesto. It's not going to be identical to the last one. "We're setting it out for hopefully for a five-year term. We've got a lot to think through to work out what's the best way to deliver on our priorities." She added: "My personal view is, we need to continue to bring immigration down. "I want to make sure that we do it in a way that supports businesses - you know we're ending freedom of movement when we leaving the European Union. "So the situation from that time the [2015] manifesto... has changed because we're leaving the European Union, so it's right that we look at it again." Net migration is the difference between the number of people arriving into and leaving the UK. BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said he understood that the "tens of thousands" target would definitely be in the 2017 manifesto. Speaking on a campaign visit last month, Theresa May, who was Ms Rudd's predecessor as home secretary, told the BBC: "We want to see sustainable net migration in this country. "I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands." The Conservatives have promised new migration controls after the UK leaves the EU, when freedom of movement rules will no longer apply, but they have yet to set out the precise model they would adopt. Labour says it accepts that the principle of the free movement of people - which EU leaders say goes hand-in-hand with single market membership - would have to end after Brexit. But shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer has said new immigration controls should not be the "overarching priority" as the UK leaves. UKIP has said that Mrs May's failure to reduce net migration to under 100,000 while she was home secretary suggests that she could yet "back slide" on delivering Brexit. He told the US Senate's Foreign Relations Committee: "We set out to dismantle [Iran's] ability to build a nuclear weapon and we achieved that." Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio told him the deal was "fundamentally flawed". Congress has until 17 September to approve or reject the deal. Meanwhile, Iran's president has also been defending last week's agreement, which was the result of nearly two years of intense negotiations with the P5+1 group of world powers - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany. Hassan Rouhani, in a speech broadcast live on television, said the deal represented "a new page in history" and was wanted by the Iranian people. Under the deal, Iran must curb its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Tehran has always insisted its nuclear ambitions are peaceful and energy-related. A good deal, for now? Iran: Now a business opportunity? Six key points about the nuclear crisis Mr Kerry told the committee hearing that the US administration came to the negotiating table with one clear objective - to address the issue of nuclear weapons. Under the terms of the deal, he said Iran has agreed to: Mr Kerry said that if Iran failed to comply with the agreement "we will be able to respond accordingly by reinstituting sanctions all the way up to the most draconian options that we have today". Turning on his critics, he said any suggestion of a "better deal, some sort of unicorn arrangement involving Iran's complete capitulation" was "fantasy, plain and simple". "The choice we face is between an agreement that will ensure Iran's nuclear programme is limited, rigorously scrutinised and wholly peaceful - or no deal at all." But Mr Kerry - who appeared at the committee hearing along with fellow negotiators, the Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew - faced scepticism from some senators. Bob Corker, the committee's Republican chairman, opened the meeting by telling Mr Kerry he had been "fleeced". Marco Rubio said the deal was "fundamentally flawed" and would "weaken our national security and make the world a more dangerous place". Iran would still be able to build long-range ballistic missiles "that know only one purpose and that is for nuclear warfare" and would provide billions "to a regime that... directly threatens the interests of the United States and our allies", Mr Rubio said. Separately, two Republicans have complained that Congress has not been given access to "side deals" stuck between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency, which allegedly relate to the inspection of a key military site as well as past military activity. White House spokesman Josh Earnest rejected the suggestion they were "some sort of side deal", saying the agreements were critical to the overall deal. But he did admit that the details of the agreements could not be made public because it involves sensitive nuclear information. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) told the BBC that evidence of a nationwide surge in such incidents is "anecdotal but not a fantasy". The nonprofit group said many of the attacks were linked to supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. It comes after the FBI reported a 67% rise in anti-Muslim bigotry last year. Senior SPLC fellow Mark Potok said it has created an online form for victims to report hate attacks. It added that it was also monitoring social media and news reports of hate incidents. The group said its new tracking method had found "on an anecdotal level [the increase in hate attacks] has been obvious". "An awful lot of these crimes are directly linked to the Trump campaign in the sense that graffiti was left or words were shouted that directly invoked Trump," Mr Potok added. The Southern Poverty Law Center has also been critical of Mr Trump's decision to appoint a right-wing media executive to the role of chief White House strategist. The group accused Stephen Bannon of being "the main driver behind Breitbart [News] becoming a white ethno-nationalist propaganda mill". Nevada Senator Harry Reid took to the Senate floor on Tuesday to cite the SPLC figures. He said Mr Trump's election had "sparked a rise in hate crimes and threats of violence". He added that "overwhelmingly the hateful acts are anti-Muslim, anti-Hispanic, anti-African American, anti-woman, anti-LGBT, anti-Semitic and anti-Asian". Meanwhile, the Massachusetts Attorney General has set up a hotline for citizens "to report bias-motivated threats, harassment, and violence". Maura Healey, an openly gay Democrat, took action after reading reports from around the country of "conduct that imperils safety and civil rights". The New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, has also established a statewide hotline due to an "uptick in recent reports of discrimination, bias-motivated threats, harassment and violence". "Any acts of discrimination or intimidation will be met with the full force of the law," the governor said in a statement. Hate crimes were also being reported north of the border in Canada, although it is not clear if they have anything to do with the US election. Canada's right-wing extremists The Toronto Police hate crimes unit is investigating after signs urging people to join the "alt-right" were posted around town. The posters began "Hey, white person" and directed people to join white nationalist groups. In Ottawa police are also investigating after a swastika was spray painted on the door of a local Jewish community centre.

Doctors had earlier suspended all treatment for Gen Contreras, 86. He had been sentenced to 500 years in jail for human rights abuses. Victims' families say Dina was behind more than half the cases of murder, disappearance and torture under the Pinochet government. Gen Contreras was one of the main architects of Plan Condor, a co-ordinated campaign of political repression and assassination by military governments in the southern cone of South America which is said to have killed tens of thousands of people across the region. Gen Contreras had been in the military hospital in Santiago since the end of last month. A presidential decree in 2009 announced that on his death, he would not receive any military honours. Questions have been asked by left-wing parties as to why he was not deprived of his rank of general when first sentenced.

Manuel Contreras - who headed Chile's intelligence service, Dina, during the government of Augusto Pinochet in the 1970s and 80s - has died in a military hospital in the capital, Santiago.

King's College London Mathematics School was started in Lambeth two years ago, and pupils have been finding out their A-level and AS results. With all students at the school receiving either A* or A in maths, there has been plenty of celebrating. Some of the students spoke to BBC News after they learned of their grades. In spite of having a two-hour journey from Leicestershire each day, Henry Sinclair-Banks says he "doesn't think twice about the commute. I love this place". He received his AS marks this year and averaged four A grades. "I'm happy as it means I can apply for the things I want to apply for," he said. Henry said he first realised he loved maths when he was about six years old after doing a quiz at school. "I was very good at it and I enjoyed it as well. That was a defining moment for me." All being well, after his A-levels he says he will "probably go down the academia route". Living in Morden, 40 minutes away, Zoe Loughton has less of a journey in but is equally enthusiastic about the school. "Because it is a maths school, the environment is amazing as you are surrounded by similar people and the facilities are really good," she said. Zoe said she only decided to do maths after receiving very good results in her further maths GCSE. "Ever since then, I knew I wanted to be at this school", she said. She said she was "really happy" to have received an A* and two As, and was off to Bristol University in autumn to study engineering and mathematics. Having received an A*, an A and a C in her A-levels, Nathalie Moore has decided against going to university but is taking up an engineering apprenticeship instead. She said she thought it would be better "learning the skills as you go along on the job", rather than "forgetting stuff you learn during the first year at uni". Nathalie hopes to follow in the footsteps of the man who created the company she is joining, Sir James Dyson. "Hopefully I'll become an inventor one day; that's the dream anyway," she said. Riu Kawashima received an A* and two As in his A-levels, which he said he was "rather pleased" about. "If I went to my local school, I think my results would have been very different," he said. He said he was looking forward to studying maths at the University of Durham in October. "I'll just see how it goes after uni", but in the meantime, "we're planning to go to the park to celebrate," he said. Mick Schumacher, 18, will drive demonstration laps in a 1994 Benetton car, a family spokeswoman said. His father took his first race victory at the circuit on 30 August 1992 before going on to a further 90 race wins and seven world titles. Schumacher, 48, suffered serious head injuries in a skiing accident in 2013. He has not been seen in public since. He retired in 2006 in after two world titles with Benetton in 1994 and 1995 before five titles in a row with Ferrari from 2000 to 2004 - clinching his seventh world title at Spa. He made a comeback in 2010 with Mercedes but was unable to replicate his earlier success. Schumacher family spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said it was not possible to use the race-winning 1992 Benetton for the demonstration because of mechanical and insurance issues. Mick Schumacher is currently racing in European Formula Three. The Owls had the better of the first half, with Fernando Forestieri thundering a shot against the woodwork from 30 yards out. Sam Clucas hit the post for the hosts after the break before Tigers defender Curtis Davies headed just wide. Forestieri was shown a late red card, his second in a week, after being given a second yellow card for diving. The former Italy Under-21 international seemed to be harshly done by as replays showed Hull defender Michael Dawson did impede the Owls forward. The dismissal means Forestieri has now been sent off in successive appearances, having been shown a red card at Preston on 20 February, and he will now serve a two-game ban. It was a second draw between the two sides this season and there was little between the teams for most of the game. Steve Bruce's side improved after half-time but Forestieri's red card came too late to have any real impact on the course of the match. Hull manager Steve Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside: Media playback is not supported on this device "In the grand scheme of things, we'll take the point but we're disappointed we didn't get the three. "In the second half in particular, we were the dominant side but we missed the opportunities we had. "There comes the frustration because we've created chances, we've played well enough, and it just wasn't our night in front of goal." Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It was a good point. They started to move the ball well in the second half and we had more problems then. (On the red card) "I think it was a bad decision. You can see from the reaction of the players and the Hull player apologised to the referee. It was a big mistake. "There's nothing I can do about it because we can't appeal against it." Match ends, Hull City 0, Sheffield Wednesday 0. Second Half ends, Hull City 0, Sheffield Wednesday 0.

The visitors conceded a calamitous goal after two minutes when Adam Lockwood passed to keeper Steven Drench, but the ball bobbled over his foot and in. Drench later kept out Jai Reason's shot and a James Constable's effort to redeem his early howler. James Hurst scored from a free-kick to restore parity in the second half. Guiseley remain in 18th place in the table, a position they have held for the last nine matches. Eastleigh slipped a place to seventh and are two points outside the play-off places. Sobriety tags, GPS tracking and tagging as an alternative to remand would be used in Scotland for the first time. Sobriety tags, which respond to the ethanol levels in a person's sweat, are among the pilots to be announced. They would be used as an alternative to prison for those who offend under the influence of alcohol. The changes will require new regulations and legislation. Under the proposals, other pilots will be announced in the next couple of months. All the proposals have been recommended by the expert working group on electronic monitoring, which was created by the Scottish government two years ago. Tagging has been available in Scotland for almost 15 years and used predominantly to confine offenders to their homes overnight as an alternative to prison or under early release from jail - referred to as Home Detention Curfew. There are currently more than 1,000 offenders tagged in Scotland. But under the proposals, in future, tagging will be used as an alternative to remand in prison and as a condition of bail. And GPS tracking will be used for the first time to monitor certain offenders' movements. Another option is "voluntary" electronic monitoring for offenders willing to work with agencies to try to stop shoplifting, housebreaking and gang involvement. The report also calls for monitoring alongside social work support. Robert Johnson has been tagged more than once. On one occasion he was sent to Barlinnie prison for drugs offences and released early on Home Detention Curfew. Now 35, he says he has grown up and that he has not offended for more than two years. He says that being tagged gave him the time and opportunity to re-connect with friends. He has now started up a café with some of them. "When I was in prison I was ashamed and embarrassed and I didn't want my children to see me there in a place like that. "Every dad wants to be superman to their children and I didn't want them to see me there, to see me exposed. "Being at home with a tag and being able to spend time with my family and start looking at education and work, and being with my children, money can't buy something like that." He added: "In prison you're left in your cell for 23 hours a day locked up with not a lot to do and the chances are if you do do something it's not going to be something worthwhile. On Home Detention Curfew you can be home with your family and your children and start rebuilding your life." Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said he wanted Scotland to look to the system used in the Netherlands which focuses on outcomes and support. He hopes the extension of tagging will form part of extensive changes to the whole penal system. "Rather than just deciding on what kind of electronic monitoring they're going to use, they work out what they're trying to achieve first of all and then look at whether electronic monitoring would help to achieve that aim," he said. "And it could be different types. It could be GPS or the radio system which we have at the present time. We want to focus on outcomes. "The report highlights that we could use electronic monitoring in a much more effective way, for example, for individuals remanded into custody." Angela Smith, service director at G4S Monitoring Technologies & Services in Scotland, said the new system would mean that the numbers of offenders tagged across the country in the future could be "unlimited". "This is not a soft option. It is a restriction placed not only on offenders but also on their families," she said. "But it does allow them to stay with their families and maintain their jobs and keep relationships together." In England and Wales electronic monitoring has faced some controversy with a number of high-profile cases in which tagged offenders have been caught committing further crimes. In 2010 a man wearing an electronic tag in Manchester was left dead in his flat for weeks before his body was found. Stirling University criminologist Hannah Graham said: "England and Wales have had some issues and scandals with their uses of electronic monitoring, whereas Scotland's approach has stayed fairly simple, stable and small in scale. "The expert group's recommendations imply Scotland will take a more European approach, learning from the Dutch and Scandinavians as leading examples of how to use electronic monitoring well. "There's evidence to suggest this is a better and bolder direction for us to pursue. "But it's difficult to predict how much the use of tagging will increase because this depends on whether these recommended changes are embraced by decision-makers such as sheriffs, some of whom barely use it currently." She added: "There's an acute need to reduce Scotland's disproportionately high prison population - making better use of electronic monitoring within community sentences offers one way of trying to do this." Mike Nellis, Emeritus professor of law at Strathclyde University, previously worked as a social worker with young offenders. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland radio programme that tagging should be used in conjunction with other services. "The technology by itself is very limited if you're trying to change any type of behaviour. Certainly, if we're talking about people with alcohol problems, they have to have the services to help them deal with their alcohol problems." He added: "Some people are given a sense of self-discipline by having to wear the alcohol monitoring device or indeed any other form of electronic monitoring devices, and I think part of the art of using electronic devices wisely and well is to help people to understand that this is something that they can use to assist them on their journey of desistance." Scottish Conservative justice secretary spokesman Douglas Ross said there was a place for electronic tagging but he could not accept the "creeping expansion" replacing custodial sentences for serious criminals. He said: "We saw in recent weeks how some rapists have been escaping jail and instead handed community sentences. "That's an indication that, when the Scottish government insists on an alternative form of punishment, it inevitably gets used on the wrong people. "In order to retain public confidence in tagging, this expansion will have to be monitored exceptionally closely." Scottish Labour's justice spokeswoman Claire Baker said Scotland has one of the highest prison populations in Europe and called for credible and robust alternatives. "However, for tagging to work both the courts and the general public must have confidence in it as an alternative," she added. "Without that we will still see people sent to prison on remand or for short sentences. "Therefore the Scottish Government must ensure that electronic tagging is fully resourced and monitored, yet with cuts to the budgets of the police, our courts, and local authorities, this will be challenging."

Niall Barr, of Teeling Grove, Dunmurry, County Antrim, is charged with trying to break into three shops in Lisburn. The High Court was told the 30-year-old climbed on the shop rooftops after watching a documentary on free-running. The sport, also known as parkour, involves jumping and climbing on walls and buildings in urban areas. Mr Barr's defence barrister told the High Court in Belfast that his client's explanation was "almost comedic", but said the accused had a long-standing alcohol problem. The court heard that CCTV operators spotted Mr Barr on shop roofs in Bow Street in Lisburn city centre on 25 April. A prosecution barrister said police were called and found the accused was drunk and struggling to form sentences. "He explained that he was participating in the sport of parkour, also known as free-running," the barrister told the judge. However, when the CCTV footage was examined, the recording allegedly showed him trying to break into a bookshop, a women's clothes shop and a health food store. Mr Barr was arrested at work the next day and provided a statement "that he had been practising parkour, took a spasm in his back and was looking for an easier way down from the roofs", the prosecution said. When police asked him if he was affiliated to any free-running clubs or groups, the accused made no comment, the court heard. His defence barrister said Mr Barr was fuelled by alcohol when he scaled the buildings. "He said he had watched this documentary the night before... and he decided to embark on this exercise," the barrister told the judge. "It was not a case that he was involving himself in any attempts to burgle. "He got up on the roof of this building, took a pain in his back and was trying to get back down." The judge granted a request for bail but ordered Mr Barr to abide by a night-time curfew and electronic monitoring. He also imposed an alcohol ban as part of his bail conditions. William Sangster, 19, from Auchnagatt in Aberdeenshire, died after the crash on the A950 New Pitsligo to Mintlaw road in November 2014. The driver, Adam Youngson, of Mintlaw, admitted causing Mr Sangster's death. Scott Neil, of Stuartfield, admitted driving another car at excessive and inappropriate speeds. Sentence at the High Court in Edinburgh was deferred. The court heard that moments before Youngson's car hit a tree, the car being driven by Neil came close to the back of Youngson's red Ford Fiesta. Youngson reacted by accelerating away from Neil's car. However, Neil then broke the speed limit to keep up with Youngson. Youngson - who ignored requests from his passengers to drive more carefully - lost control of his vehicle, causing it to leave the road. Mr Sangster was a back seat passenger in Mr Youngson's car. Firefighters had to cut him free, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Judge Lady Wolffe deferred sentenced until 1 June. She said: "It is important for me to be fully informed about all the circumstances concerning this incident." Youngson's defence counsel Shahid Latif told the court that he would reserve his mitigation to the sentencing hearing. He added: "My client at this stage wishes to offer his sincere apologies to the family, friends and anybody who has been affected by the death of Mr Sangster." Neil's defence counsel Gavin Anderson also told Lady Wolffe that he would give his mitigation at the sentencing hearing. Mr Sangster's family previously described him as a "larger than life character" and said he would be "sorely missed." The ministers, meeting in Japan, said they opposed "any intimidating coercive or provocative unilateral actions" that could increase tension. China claims almost all the South China Sea and areas of the East China Sea, angering neighbours who have competing claims. It has also been reclaiming land. Experts say satellite images of the reclamation work could indicate that China may be steadily militarising the islands it is creating or expanding. The foreign ministers of the G7 group of industrialised nations - US, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan - did not explicitly mention China in their statement. But they called on all states to "refrain from such actions as land reclamations" and building outposts "for military purposes" that could risk stability or change the status quo. Disputes should be solved "in good faith and in accordance with international law," they said. In his response, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang reiterated China's belief it has a legitimate claim to the territory. He urged the foreign ministers to "stop making irresponsible remarks and all irresponsible actions, and truly play a constructive role for regional peace and stability". And it's no secret that the Home Office budget is one of the departments in Whitehall that is not protected from the overall cuts. Following the Paris attacks, political concern over policing numbers has become acute. A document, prepared at the request of the government's emergency committee in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, spells out some of the potential consequences of further cuts to the police budgets. And for the Home Office, and the chancellor preparing his set piece statement for next Wednesday, it makes awkward reading. We've seen key paragraphs of a restricted document prepared this week titled, "Implications of the Paris Attack for UK Police Preparedness". The document suggests that further cuts to police budgets would have very serious implications for the authorities' ability to respond to multiple terrorist incidents because of the reduction in police numbers. The document cites concerns over "surge capacity" - the need to mobilise large numbers of officers and resources in the event of a serious attack, warning that it will "reduce very significantly across the country unless a different funding settlement is found". These concerns, outlined in a letter to the home secretary, copied to the Treasury, Number 10 and the security services, are on top of existing worries about reductions in neighbourhood policing. The document, dated 15 November, says: "It would be remiss of me not to highlight the impact further reductions in police force numbers would have on our ability to manage terrorist incidents of this magnitude, particularly if spread simultaneously across a number of geographical locations. "Police forces across England and Wales have already seen a reduction of 40,000 officers and further losses will severely impact our surge capacity, which is heavily geared and will reduce very significantly across the country unless a different funding settlement is found. "A Met view is that a 5-10% CSR cash reduction should keep officer reductions at 2,000 or fewer which will be manageable. Other forces' positions vary, but the overarching concerns are the same. These considerations are of course in addition to the need to sustain neighbourhood policing to maintain local trust and intelligence flows." Expectation in Westminster is that the cuts to the police budget may be more than 20%, more than double what this official document suggests is viable to keep numbers at the level required in the event of an attack. The concerns outlined in the document go beyond the specific budget allocated to counter terrorism. The chancellor and the home secretary met today to try to finalise the spending plans for the Home Office, their second such meeting this week. The government has committed to protecting the counter terrorism budget. David Cameron said at Prime Minister's Questions this week: "We rightly protected counter terrorism in the last Parliament and we will protect it again in this parliament." But it's clear that the concerns go far wider than the specific budget allocated to fight terrorism. And, as in so many regards, the Paris attacks are having an impact on politics here too.

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

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

League One Bradford stunned Premier League leaders Chelsea, Championship side Middlesbrough won at champions Manchester City and League Two Cambridge United held Manchester United to a draw. And that was just in round four. This weekend's fifth round sees Bradford attempt to eliminate Sunderland and Championship side Blackburn host Stoke, before League One Preston tackle 11-time winners Manchester United on Monday, So how should a team of aspiring giant-killers approach a game against a higher-placed opponent? What are the ingredients that go into creating a great Cup upset? We asked six giant-killers - Shrewsbury's Nigel Jemson and Kevin Ratcliffe, Wrexham's Mickey Thomas, Hereford's Ronnie Radford, Sutton's Tony Rains and Millwall's Mark Beard - exactly what it takes. We also spoke to two men - Mark Lawrenson (Liverpool) and Robbie Savage (Leicester) - who know what's like to be on the receiving end. Tony Rains, scorer of the first goal as Conference side Sutton United beat First Division Coventry City 2-1 in 1989: "There was such a massive lead-up to the game. Once we got the draw, things turned around from our normal non-league build-up with the media attention and that disrupts any form of natural environment you normally have. That can feel really strange. You're not doing a lot of training and eventually you have to pull the plug with everyone and get out on the field and try to prepare for the game." Media playback is not supported on this device Ronnie Radford, whose goal helped Hereford beat Newcastle 2-1 after extra time in a third-round replay in 1972: "There was such a frenzy surrounding the tie. The original match was postponed twice because of the weather. After the 2-2 draw in that game all of our players went back to work. There was no pressure on us - we were part-time - and then the replay was called off three times, and Newcastle had stayed in Worcester the whole time. They had to deal with the boredom of it all." Nigel Jemson, scorer of both Shrewsbury goals as the Third Division side knocked out top-flight Everton 2-1 in 2003: "I got a text from Mark Bright before the game - I used to play with him at Sheffield Wednesday - and he said that somebody was going to be a hero, and why shouldn't it be me? That always sticks in my mind. "The gaffer, Kevin Ratcliffe, got us revved up for the game, we prepared properly and it was like our cup final. We went into it with confidence we could pull off a draw but as the game continued, we deserved it 100%." Mickey Thomas, who scored as Fourth Division strugglers Wrexham stunned Arsenal 2-1 in 1992: "It was number one in the football pyramid against number 92. It brought people from everywhere in the town together and the atmosphere was electric." Kevin Ratcliffe, Shrewsbury manager as they beat Everton: "When big clubs come to places like Gay Meadow, you are taking their players out of their comfort zone. Their training ground is better than your ground, and their training pitches are much better than the one you play games on. "It is the way that modern Premier League players are brought up as well now - they have always had those brilliant facilities. Very few of them have had to change in a Portakabin or in the toilets. Media playback is not supported on this device "Then they come to a little old stadium like Gay Meadow and the changing room is tiny, and the pitch is a bit bobbly as well. That does not sway the game your way, but every bit of advantage helps when you are playing against players who are better than yours." Radford: "When the Newcastle game went to a replay, their striker Malcolm Macdonald said the next game would be different. Well, it was different in every way. The atmosphere was amazing and the noise of the crowd was relentless for the whole 90 minutes. It must have been a daunting thing for Newcastle." Mark Beard, scorer as First Division Millwall won 2-0 at Premier League Arsenal in a third-round tie in 1995, then beat Chelsea on penalties after a replay in round four: "We took a massive crowd of about 7,000 to Arsenal, so it created quite an intimidating atmosphere. "That was fantastic, but when we played Chelsea at The Den… I've never experienced an atmosphere like that. It was crazy. "They talk about the big derbies abroad like in Italy and Turkey, where the fans are so passionate, but this game was exactly the same. It was unbelievable - for the 120 minutes, everywhere you looked there were fans screaming at you." Mark Lawrenson, whose Liverpool side were held to a 1-1 draw by Third Division York in 1986 before winning the replay after extra time: "We should not have played the first game at York when we did because it had snowed and the pitch was frozen. I knew the groundsman, the late Brian Foster, who had worked at my first club Preston. I remember talking to him before the game - I said 'you've been in the referee's ear to get this on' and he just started laughing. "The pitch was dodgy, which made a big difference because we tried to play football and play our usual game. We should have just lumped it but, with Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush up front, we didn't really have anyone to lump it to." Ratcliffe: "Wayne Rooney played for Everton but we were not worried about him - we were more worried about Tomasz Radzinski's pace up front for balls over the top. We were not bothered about Rooney turning and running at us because the pitch would not allow him to have the touch that he wanted to - it meant their players had to take one or two extra touches and slowed them down." Media playback is not supported on this device Robbie Savage, whose Leicester team were sixth in the Premier League when they were beaten in the quarter-finals by Second Division Wycombe in 2001: "What happened in that game is why people should take nothing for granted in football. "When we drew Wycombe at home, a lot of us at the club thought we were through to the semi-finals already. We expected to turn up and win and that was part of the problem. There is no excuse for what happened." Radford: "It's amazing what pressure does to people. Newcastle had seven or eight internationals, Malcolm Macdonald was one of the best players in England and they had won the FA Cup six times. But come the kick-about before the game, the slope of the pitch…" Lawrenson: "There were ways of making us uncomfortable. A lot of the time lower teams would try to bypass our midfield by playing the long ball and if they had a couple of big and strong strikers up front, you could sometimes feel as if we did not have enough of the ball, and then we struggled because we could not get Dalglish, Rush and those sorts of players into the game. "Then the tackles would be flying in too because the lesser team would be well up for it, and the referee would let things go. Your aim, especially if you were playing away, would be to get an early goal because it would silence the crowd. If we scored first then the smaller sides very rarely came back at us. "The longer they are in the game, the more confidence their players get and you only needed one or two of your team-mates to suddenly think that you are in a bit of trouble, and then you are struggling." Beard: "We scored an early goal after about 10 minutes and it settled us down a bit. It especially settled me down because I was only 20 at the time, and it gave us lots of confidence." Rains: "Once the match started we tried to stick to a game-plan, which wasn't to go gung-ho. We needed to come through the first 15 minutes without conceding and that's what we did. As the half developed we came more into the game." Media playback is not supported on this device Beard: "We had really good team spirit, but also lots of good individual players who, as it proved in time, were probably more suited to the Premier League than the Championship. Alex Rae had a good career and went on to play in the Premier League, Mark Kennedy went to Liverpool for £1.5m and we had Kasey Keller, an unbelievable goalkeeper. We had players who went on to do things in their careers and that combined with our belief and togetherness." Jemson: "We played really well. I had played against Everton before from being in the Premier League so I knew what to expect and the experienced players like myself, Mark Atkins and Ian Woan gave the inexperienced players the confidence they needed to go out there and put a show on. "Everyone performed that day. When you play against a team like Everton, you have to be on top of your game and just hope they are having an off-day, and that proved to be." Rains: "When you have something at stake that was that big, something that had only been achieved five or six other times in history [a non-league team beating a top-flight side], you do anything to hold onto it. The final whistle was something we remembered and enjoyed for the rest of our lives." Thomas: "Wrexham beating Arsenal caused a bit of an earthquake in the football world - I'm told that Chelsea fans were singing my name at Hull and Spurs fans, who hated me from my Manchester United days, even chanted because they enjoyed the fact I had knocked Arsenal out. Media playback is not supported on this device "All of the Arsenal lads were really respectful after the game. I'd asked for David Seaman's gloves before the game, and he was true to his word. He even waited outside the dressing room for me. Fair dos to him." Beard: "After the game, as normal, Arsenal striker Ian Wright was a bit agitated. He wanted to fight the world - I think he had a little argument with Alex Rae and Andy Roberts and then he carried on into the tunnel and then into the bar. He didn't like losing. "After that, the next day was surreal. I was on the train going somewhere and I was on the back page of every newspaper and I was getting spotted by people who weren't Millwall fans." Rains: "After we had beaten Coventry and I had scored, myself and the other scorer, Matt Hanlan, got plucked out to do different things in the media. The weirdest one was going on Wogan. It was completely non-football orientated. He was not poking fun, but he was asking questions about if we had made the changing rooms cold, and did we pick up our money in our boots? It was a fantastic experience but it was a bit weird." Media playback is not supported on this device Ratcliffe: "I took a phone call on the Monday morning from Everton boss David Moyes to apologise because he never stayed behind for a drink after the game as he was fuming about his team. He said he had watched a video of the game and he was sorry because he did not realise how well we had played and that we had deserved it. It was a nice touch for him to say that. "We only won one of our remaining 22 league games after the Cup tie and ended up being relegated out of the Football League. "It is amazing what a cup run can do - sometimes it can spur players on to bigger and better things, or it can make them think they are better than they are. I think one or two of them thought they were better than Shrewsbury and should have been playing at a higher level." Savage: "Things were never the same again. Losing to Wycombe left a massive hangover for the rest of the season and it was the beginning of the end for Peter Taylor as Leicester manager. "Before that Cup defeat we were in the top six of the Premier League and had beaten Liverpool 2-0 the previous week. Afterwards, we lost eight games in a row." A record crowd of 9,000 is expected at the event on the Raehills Estate near Beattock from 8 to 11 June. Supt Irvine Watson said everyone involved had put in a "huge amount of work" to ensure it would be another "tremendous festival". He said police would be working in "all areas of the venue" with stewards to "keep everyone safe". ''Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, including the community that gathers for the weekend at the Eden Festival," he said. "We want people to have fun and enjoy what is sure to be another excellent festival. "Security is constantly under review at all our major events in Dumfries and Galloway." He said police worked closely with organisers to ensure there was "appropriate security" at every event. "At the same time we want those attending the festival to look after themselves, have respect for others and be mindful that what is against the law in Scotland is also against the law within any festival venue in Scotland," he said. "Police Scotland will adopt the same pro-active approach to the dealing and misuse of drugs at the Eden Festival as we do across the rest of Scotland." He added that part of the condition of entry to the festival was that New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) - also known as "legal highs" - were not permitted on the site. Stephen "Aki" Akinyemi died after a fight with businessman Arran Coghlan at the latter's Cheshire mansion in 2010. Mr Coghlan was cleared of his murder. A fresh inquest heard Mr Coghlan was acting as a peacemaker in a row which involved a man called Philip Atkinson. David Mason QC told London's Royal Courts of Justice: "They both had Porsches with the number plate 'Aki'." Mr Coghlan told a previous inquest in 2011 that Mr Akinyemi pulled a gun on him and that it went off during a struggle. At the time, Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg recorded an open verdict, saying he had "difficulty" accepting Mr Coghlan's version of events. At Monday's hearing, Mr Mason, representing Mr Coghlan, claimed that Mr Akinyemi was at Mr Coghlan's home because he was "upset that another man was using the same nickname". Mr Akinyemi's brother John told the inquest he did not think his brother would have been "bothered with that" and said the only reason he wanted to see Mr Coghlan was simply because "he was his friend". He said he did not know whether his brother carried weapons. Coroner Bernard Richmond QC asked whether he would be shocked if the inquest heard that weapons had been discovered. Mr Akinyemi replied: "It would be a bit of a shock but, generally speaking, nothing shocks me. It would be something I have learned." Stephen Akinyemi was arrested in connection with the murder of Chinaedu Iheagwara, 34, in 2002. When pressed about any comments his brother had made about this shooting and his arrest, John Akinyemi repeatedly said: "I cannot remember." He later said: "He made out like he was being troubled for something he did not do and he did not want to talk about it." After Mr Coghlan was initially accused of murdering Stephen Akinyemi, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charge because it could not prove Mr Coghlan, who suffered stab wounds, was not acting in self-defence. It was the third time he had been cleared of murder. In 1996, he was cleared of murdering alleged gangland enforcer Chris Little, who had been shot dead at the wheel of his Mercedes two years earlier. In 2001, another drug dealer David Barnshaw, 32, was kidnapped, forced to drink petrol and burned alive in the back of a car in Stockport, Greater Manchester. Mr Coghlan was acquitted of leading the gang that tortured and killed him when it emerged that police failed to pass on important information about another possible suspect. The inquest continues. The iPlayer service was out of action over most of the weekend thanks to problems with the database behind the catch-up service. The faults also meant only a simplified version of the BBC's homepage was shown, while online video and audio clips were also disrupted. A BBC spokesman said it was "pretty confident" the faults were now cleared. "BBC iPlayer, BBC iPlayer Radio and other parts of BBC Online that were affected by problems over the weekend are now up and running," he said. "Our teams continue to investigate the problem to ensure this doesn't happen again." He added: "We will be publishing more details about the problem in due course on the BBC's internet blog." The duration of the outage led reporters to question BBC boss Tony Hall about the problems on a day when the corporation unveiled its annual report. Mr Hall said that he would look into the cause of the problems and added: "99.9% of the time the iPlayer works very well". While the iPlayer was not working the corporation put out statements via Twitter apologising several times for the inconvenience. The apology did not mollify many people who strongly criticised the BBC about the length of the disruption. The problems for the iPlayer and many other sites started on the morning of 19 July when engineers noticed that there was a "severe load" on the servers underlying the video-on-demand system. In addition, reports reached the BBC that viewers were getting slow response times for some services or were seeing errors saying a programme or clip was not available. Soon after the BBC noticed, messages were also received from network engineers at internet service providers (ISPs) including Virgin Media, which were also logging problems with the iPlayer and other BBC video traffic. Later in the day, the service became unavailable via the web and through smartphone apps. Internal logs of the incident and how it was handled showed that database administrators, network engineers and system analysts were all called on to see if they could diagnose the problem and fix it. Work continued throughout the weekend to try to stabilise the servers and database supporting the iPlayer and many other BBC services. The final fixes for the problems were expected to be applied on 21 July when the vast majority of people should be able reach the web-based video services as normal. The BBC said it would issue a statement when it knew more about the cause of the glitches. The blaze, close to Gypsy Lane, Swindon, started just before 01:00 BST and at one point more than 50 firefighters were on site. People living nearby were earlier urged to keep their windows shut because of thick plumes of smoke caused by the blaze. Crews are expected to be on site for much of the day. Station manager Gareth Evans said the fire affected a mound of metal which he described as about 15 sq m big and originally about six metres high. "That's burnt down now," he said. "Metal burns with a very, very intense flame so there is the potential for temperatures in excess of 1,000C in that part of the fire." Mr Evans said the blaze produced "vast quantity of smoke" which could be seen all over the town. "I don't know what's in that smoke but please close your windows and stay indoors and don't breath the smoke," he added. A spokesman for European Metal Recycling confirmed the fire started at its Swindon depot early on Saturday. He said: "While we investigate the cause, we would like to apologise to the local community and businesses for the inconvenience this incident may have caused." Twelve people including Mr Urban died in the attack on a Berlin Christmas market on 19 December. Mr Urban, who was also stabbed, was hailed a hero amid reports that he had prevented further deaths. But doctors have ruled out that he was conscious, says Bild newspaper. The conclusions of Mr Urban's post-mortem examination say he was shot in the head between 16:30 (15:30 GMT) and 17:30 and lost a lot of blood, the paper reports. His boss and cousin said he had lost contact with him at around 16:00. The attack on the market at Breitscheidplatz took place just after 20:00, and he may still have been alive at the time in the passenger seat although not capable of grabbing a steering wheel, Bild adds. Mr Urban, 37, had parked the 40-tonne lorry in Berlin, waiting to unload a consignment of steel beams the following day. A petition calling for him to be given a posthumous award had attracted some 38,000 signatures by Tuesday. Tunisian-born Anis Amri, 24, was eventually shot dead by an Italian policeman near Milan on 23 December, after he had travelled from Berlin through France. A video was released of him pledging allegiance to the head of jihadist group Islamic State (IS). Investigators are trying to find out if he had accomplices, and CCTV footage has emerged of him at Lyon-Part-Dieu station, before he apparently boarded a train via Chambery on his way to Milan. He was identified by his backpack, French media said. "He was on his own on the footage," a source was quoted as saying. What is not clear is how Amri travelled from Berlin via France without being spotted by police. Rail tickets bought in cash were found on his body. Police have produced a picture of Amri at Milan central station, three hours before he pulled a gun and fired at two police officers who had stopped him for a routine check outside Milan. They have pieced together his journey first to Turin, then by another train to Milan, where he took a coach to the north-eastern suburb of Sesto San Giovanni. Italian policeman Cristian Movio, who was shot in the shoulder by Amri, has told Italian media he is now able to move "without too much pain". Officials are trying to find out if the gunman was in contact with anyone in Italy and what his next destination was. Amri had around €150 (£128) in cash, according to reports, and no food or extra clothing in his backpack. One theory is that he was aiming to take a bus to the Balkans or southern Italy. Italy has beefed up security because of the risk of revenge attacks. A senior official in Italy's department of public security, Maurizio Vallone, warned that it was the "first time a terrorist has been killed in Italy... we have to be particularly careful to take every possible means of self defence". Three people are being held by the Tunisian authorities, including a nephew who had contact with Amri via the social media app Telegram. Amri's request for asylum in Germany had been turned down and although he had been designated by authorities as a potential risk, they had lost track of him. He was classed as a "gefaehrder", considered to be a serious risk but without concrete evidence for it. German authorities have given the status to 549 people. Amri moved to Germany in 2011 after four years in jail in Italy for a series of offences. Italy and Germany both tried to deport him to Tunisia but were unable to because he did not have valid papers. He was reportedly a follower of Abu Walaa, an Islamist preacher held in Germany on suspicion of recruiting for IS. The attack and the failure to detain Amri in Germany has prompted calls for greater security and video surveillance. The ruling Christian Democrats' sister party, the CSU, wants convicted extremists to wear electronic tags. And the head of Germany's association of towns and municipalities has called for the use of greater CCTV, in a country that has traditionally shied away from widespread video surveillance of its citizens. The man, in his 40s, was acquitted last year at a retrial. He has been charged with breaching the terms of the order by refusing to give police the Pin to his phone. He accused North Yorkshire Police, which declined to comment, of "sour grapes" in applying for a sexual risk order after the case. The order requires him to disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison. The case is due back in court on 14 July ahead of a hearing on 19 August, which will decide whether to grant police's application to make the interim order permanent. Sexual risk orders were introduced in England and Wales last year and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm - even if they have never been convicted of a crime. They are civil orders imposed by magistrates at the request of police. The man, who said the complainant had consented to sex, was cleared of rape after being held on remand for 14 months. His trial heard he had an interest in sado-masochistic sex. Speaking after an adjourned hearing at York Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, he said the order had devastated his personal life and "contravened his human rights". "I had more freedom in prison," he said. "I'm in a state of shock, I cannot believe this is how the justice system works." He said there was "no prospect" of a relationship at the moment. He said: "Can you imagine, 24 hours before sex? Come on. He gave the example of chatting to a woman and saying: "There's a nice French restaurant I'd like to take you to, but first the police are just going to come around for a little chat." "Knock, knock, knock, this is the police, (Mr X) is subject to a sexual risk order and is considered to be potentially dangerous... then they leave." The order was extended in January for four months by York magistrates after it was initially imposed in December in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. It declares the man "must disclose the details of any female including her name, address and date of birth... at least 24 hours prior to any sexual activity taking place". It also contains restrictions on his use of the internet and mobile phones and requires him to inform officers of any change of address. During his rape trial, jurors heard that the man had visited a fetish club with an ex-partner. The jury also heard evidence from a doctor with whom he had discussed his past. He claimed the doctor had misunderstood a discussion of fantasy for a confession, which police later seized upon. "Thank God 50 Shades of Grey came out when it did, it helped my barrister normalise that," he said. Ricky Tynemouth was a passenger in a Vauxhall Corsa which left the A196 near South Farm, Choppington, at about 19:30 BST on Wednesday. The 17 year old, from Guidepost, was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other boys, both 17, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Northumbria Police arrested the 18-year-old driver on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

The Brixham Express between Brixham and Torquay is advertised as a "custom built catamaran", but is currently a small fishing boat. A Torbay councillor said handing out subsidies for the service was "verging on the ridiculous". The firm said it was still waiting to get a safety all-clear on the vessel. Read live updates on this story on BBC Local Live as it develops Brixham Ferries won the contract in 2014 to supply the year-round service as part of Torbay Council's green travel plan which promised the catamaran. The service started in November 2014 with a number of large hired vessels, but since last April it has been using small fishing boats. According to a Freedom of Information request by the BBC, a total of £540,000 in government subsidies was given to the firm by Torbay Council in January and April 2015. Steve Darling, leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the Conservative-controlled council, said: "The service is not all singing and dancing so I can't understand why any subsidy has been handed out." Torbay pleasure boat operator John Jones said: "We have always treated the Brixham Express as a bit of a joke but to get more than £500,000 for a service which is not what was promised is no joke." A Torbay Council spokesperson said no subsidy had been paid to the company since April last year because it had "not been able to comply with the vessel specification" in the contract. Mary O'Driscoll, of Brixham Express, said the catamaran was waiting for a safety certificate in Donegal, Ireland, from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). There had been "inexplicable and significant delays", she said, and the firm had "lost out heavily because of this long delay". The MCA said it was "awaiting confirmation that the noted defects have now been rectified".

A ferry firm has failed to deliver a promised 100-seat catamaran more than two years after it started a route subsidised by £540,000 of public cash.

Police Scotland said officers stopped and detained two men on Saracen Street, Glasgow, at about 19:05 on 22 December. A 43-year-old man became unwell and was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he died on Boxing Day. The Crown Office has asked the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to carry out an independent investigation into the circumstances.

An investigation is to be carried out after a man died on Boxing Day - four days after being detained by police.

The opposition accused the government of misusing public funds, calling for a review by the chief auditor. PM Tony Abbott has refused to deny allegations that officials handed over thousands of dollars to people smugglers trying to reach Australia. The UN has expressed its alarm at the allegation, if indeed true. It said UN staff had received reports that the crew of the boat had been given thousands of dollars last month by an Australian naval vessel to turn around to Indonesia. On Saturday, the Indonesian government said that if Australia did pay to turn a boat full of asylum seekers back to Indonesia, it would mark "a new low" in its handling of immigration. Foreign ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir also said Australia was on "a slippery slope" with regard to its push-back policy. On Monday the Sydney Morning Herald reported that opposition Labor leader Bill Shorten had written to the auditor general to request an investigation. The auditor general, if he takes up the case, can only review the financial propriety of the use of public funds. What happened on the boat? The migrants - from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka - were reportedly heading to New Zealand and are being held on the remote Rote island about 500km (310 miles) north-east of Australia. They told police that an Australian navy ship intercepted them at sea, and an immigration official on board paid them each A$5,000 ($3,900; £2,500) to turn back to Indonesia. Local police chief Hidayat told AFP news agency: "I saw the money with my own eyes. This is the first time I'd heard [of] Australian authorities making payments to boat crew." The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Radio New Zealand reported similar allegations from passengers. What Tony Abbott's boat rhetoric is really about Ministers in the Australian government have come out with varying responses. Some have denied the allegations, others refused to comment, while Immigration Minister Peter Dutton at first denied the allegation but then said the government did not comment on specific cases. The leader of the Green Party has asked police to investigate whether bribing people smugglers would be in breach of Australian or international law. Although the controversy continued through the weekend, the government has denied acting illegally.

Pressure is growing for an inquiry into whether Australian officials used tax payers' money to turn back a boat carrying asylum seekers.

The wild child of contemporary music, he delighted in pushing the boundaries to the extent that some of his earlier works were described as unplayable. But he later became an establishment figure and was appointed as Master of the Queen's Music from 2004 to 2014 - the musical equivalent of poet laureate. Maxwell Davies, later known simply as Max, was born in Salford on 8 Sep 1934, the son of a factory worker. He became an authentic musical prodigy as a child. One of his earliest musical experiences was being taken to see a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers when he was just four. Shortly afterwards he began taking piano lessons. He was 12 when his first composition was broadcast by the BBC's Children's Hour. At Leigh Grammar School his interest in music wasn't encouraged, but Davies didn't let that hold him back. He studied independently, taught himself A-level music and reputedly astonished his examiners by demonstrating that he had memorised not only Beethoven's violin concerto but the composer's symphonies as well. He duly won places at both the Royal Manchester College of Music and Manchester University, where he teamed up with three other future composers, Harrison Birtwistle, Elgar Howarth and Alexander Goehr. They were known as "the Manchester School" and set out to frighten the horses. One of Maxwell Davies's earliest compositions, a String Quartet, was submitted to the Society for the Promotion of New Music but rejected as unplayable. In due course he became immensely prolific as a composer, and rarely predictable. Many of his early works were lurid, noisy, brutal and cacophonous. They were first performed by the Pierrot Players, later renamed Fires of London, an ensemble he founded with Harrison Birtwistle though the pair later fell out. His music parodied and distorted medieval and Renaissance music or popular dance tunes, especially foxtrots. In one work a soprano singer dressed in a red nun's habit screamed through a loudhailer. Another work featured a dancer and a solo cello. Some people hated them and the composer found the criticism deeply hurtful. Performances of his work were sometimes punctuated by cries of "rubbish" and "shut up" from the audience. Many walked out of the premiere of Worldes Blis at a BBC Prom in 1969 although Sir Peter had his revenge. Before the second performance he put it about, "mischievously" he said, that he had revised the work, though in fact he had not. The critics said how much better the revised version was. Another controversial early work, Eight Songs for a Mad King, combined monologues spoken, shrieked and gabbled by the mad George III with fragments of Handel's Messiah. Madness was a frequent theme in his early work, along with religion (or at least the religious music of the past) and the rejection of authority. Yet these uncompromisingly modern works went hand in hand with something more approachable. Between 1959 and 1962 Sir Peter was head of music at Cirencester Grammar School, and began writing the first of many works for children. Throughout his life he remained interested in music education and in composing works for the young. Some time around 1970 he began to mellow. He made his first visit to Orkney, where he eventually went to live in 1971, first in a remote cliffside house on the island of Hoy and then on the even more remote island of Sanday. The islands had a profound effect on his music. "There is a wonderful soundscape of sea and gull noises and the wind in the heather, which has always stayed with me," he once said. "I didn't consciously set out to mirror them but they got in there." " I remember when I was writing the first symphony these extraordinary flute chords came through, and I didn't realise at the time but yes, those were the seagulls that I was hearing all the time." He discovered the work of the Orcadian poet and novelist George Mackay Brown. Soon he was writing a series of symphonies, incorporating Scottish tunes in his works, setting Mackay Brown's poems to music and developing one of the author's novels into an opera. He established long-term relationships as composer and conductor with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic, writing many pieces with individual players in mind. And while some of his work was as jagged as ever much of it became more conventionally melodic and so more popular. This more approachable music included his scores for two films directed by Ken Russell, The Devils and The Boyfriend, in 1971, the Violin Concerto of 1985, and one of his best-known works, An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise, which features Scottish and Orcadian folk tunes and bagpipes and was written in 1985. His most frequently-heard piece is probably Farewell to Stromness, a haunting lament for solo piano which is part of a musical "protest work", The Yellowcake Revue, first performed in 1980 when a uranium mine was planned in Orkney. In all he wrote ten symphonies, several operas (including Taverner, Resurrection, The Lighthouse and The Doctor of Myddfai as well as The Martyrdom of St Magnus), two full-length ballets (Salome and Caroline Mathilde), 14 concertos and a cycle of string quartets. There were religious and semi-religious works like Ave Maris Stella and a setting of the Roman Catholic Mass for Westminster Cathedral, many of which use the medieval plainchant which had fascinated Sir Peter since his student days. And there were several lighter works like Mavis in Las Vegas, inspired by his visit to the city and his detestation of the commercialisation of modern society. In 1986 he was knighted and in 2004 he was appointed Master of the Queen's Music. In 2008 his financial affairs made the news when his long standing business managers, Michael and Judith Arnold, were charged with stealing almost £450,000 from him over a period of more than 15 years. Critics did not always like much of the music Peter Maxwell Davies wrote after 1970, decrying it as unadventurous and "safe". He claimed the criticism did not worry him. "I have been criticised a lot for writing in different styles and different kinds of music," he said. "I've been called a prostitute. Fine. In that case, so was Mozart." He used to say he felt driven to compose, however difficult his music sometimes was to listen to. "When you have a creative urge, you can't stop writing," he told the Guardian. "I feel that I want to tell people how it is to be PMD, and I do hope my music reflects something of the spiritual values and helps people to understand their own musicality, their own spiritual development, and that it means something to people's spiritual lives. "This is terribly important to me. I would hate not to have my pieces played. I would hate not to be able to communicate: it's a love of people, I think, as basic as that." And to the question, did he know who he was? he replied: "Every piece of music that I write, whatever its style, is a step on the way to finding out. No, I don't know, but when I've written the next quartet or the next choral piece or whatever it is I'll be that much closer to finding out." "And I hope in a way that I can never give you an answer in words, because I might stop writing music."

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, celebrated for his prolific and often unpredictable compositions, has died aged 81.

While promising a fierce fight to the end, IS prepared the way in its propaganda for its military defeat in the city. The group began to shift its messaging in May 2016 amid losses in its Iraqi and Syrian heartland, saying that victory was not determined by territorial hold but persistence in faith. It emphasised its enduring ideological reach, insisting that the group was invincible even if it faced what it portrayed as temporary setbacks on the ground. IS cited a military official as saying the group had begun readying for its battle to defend Mosul from the first day it captured the city, suggesting the group knew its hold on the city could never last. Following the launch by Iraqi forces of the operation to recapture Mosul in October 2016, IS has played up the strength of its affiliates in other countries. It recently suggested that the capture of parts of the city of Marawi in the Philippines by pro-IS militants in May was reminiscent of its capture of Mosul, indicating that the symbolic centre of its so-called "caliphate" could be revised. The group noted that a precursor had lost control of areas of Iraq in 2007 but resurfaced much stronger. IS has demonstrated its ability to carry out attacks in various parts of Iraq outside Mosul, with a current offensive near Qayyara to the south of the city diverting attention from its crumbling "caliphate". It has issued multiple calls for attacks worldwide, and in June claimed a third attack in the UK and its first attacks in Iran and Israel. In the course of the battle for Mosul, IS has often said the city would prove to be a graveyard for its enemies. But on 7 July it described Mosul's Old City as a graveyard for thousands of civilians, blaming their suffering on US-led coalition bombardment. This served its narrative depicting an alleged global war against Sunni Islam. IS used the destruction in Mosul - including the landmark Great Mosque al-Nuri and Hadba minaret, reportedly orchestrated by the group itself - to serve its own ends. It boasted about the fierce resistance its members had put up in the city over almost nine months, against an array of powerful enemies. It also gloated about the material and human cost visited upon its foes. In a recent recognition of its demise in Mosul, the group said it planned to apply lessons derived from the protracted battle to future fronts in its unending war. These are just some of the ways its media spins victory out of military defeats. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.

So-called Islamic State (IS) made a success story of its triumphant capture of Mosul in 2014, and it will seek to create one out of the loss of the city to Iraqi forces.

The claim: The UK will continue sending money to Brussels after Brexit. Reality Check verdict: The UK's deal to leave the European Union is likely to involve a final payment. How much that is and how long the UK will get to pay it will be decided by the negotiations. Continuing payments will probably also be needed if the UK wants to continue to be involved with programmes such as EU funding for science or to retain preferential access to the single market. Whether this is the case will be decided in the Brexit negotiations, but there are different types of payments that the UK could be expected to make to the EU. Firstly, there is likely to be a one-off "divorce bill", which is expected to cover any outstanding payment commitments from the UK to the EU budget. The second type of potential payments relates to money that the UK could be asked for if it wants preferential access to the single market after it has left the EU. In October, the FT suggested that the UK could be presented with a divorce bill from the EU of about €20bn (£17bn). This week, it tripled its estimate to about €60bn. Whatever the final sum, a significant part of it will be made up of the UK's share of outstanding EU budget commitments, which is money that has been committed by the EU to specific programmes but that has not yet been paid out. The European Commission has previously likened such commitments to the payments made to a construction company, which get paid only according to the progress it has made on its work. For example, a science research project may receive EU funding over a long period of time, well beyond the year in which the funding commitment was first made. We do not yet know how the UK will contribute to such payments after it has left the EU. The same goes for the UK's future payments towards the pensions of EU civil servants, which will probably constitute another part of the Brexit divorce bill. Whether or not the UK will settle the final bill in instalments over several years or through a lump-sum payment will likewise be subject to negotiations. The European Commission told the BBC that it "will not speculate on any issues related to the outcome of the UK referendum before the notification of Article 50 is made". In addition to the divorce payment, the UK might decide to continue contributing to the EU budget in return for certain benefits such as preferential access to the single market. Norway and Switzerland both have significant access to the single market and they pay money to the EU for the privilege. Clearly, if the UK decided it wanted to trade just on WTO rules then it would not have to make such contributions. But there are other programmes such as EU funding for research or the European Investment Bank that the UK might want to continue its involvement with, which would involve making financial contributions.

In the Ely area of the city, Tvrdon used his white Iveco van to mow down people walking children home from school as well as attacking three people with a car crook lock and running over a mother and daughter at a petrol station in Leckwith. Eye witnesses reported Tvrdon driving aggressively and erratically around the west of the city, driving towards oncoming traffic and swerving across lanes to mount kerbs in an effort to run over innocent people. He killed one woman and injured 17 people, including police officers and seven children, in five locations: •At Crossways Road, at the top of the busy Cowbridge Road West road in Ely, a woman, 29, was wounded, along with a boy, nine, who suffered arm and leg injuries and a girl, eight, who had a head injury. •Minutes later, at the Ely Reptile Centre in Cowbridge Road West, Adam Lewis, 24, his partner Annie Jones, 22, and their daughter, two, were hit. The mother had leg injuries, her daughter had facial injuries and the father had minor injuries. •Next, Karina Menzies, 31, and two children, Eillie, eight and Tiana, 23 months, were knocked over outside Ely Fire Station. Ms Menzies died, while Ellie had a head injury. Her toddler was taken to hospital for observations. •Then outside shops in Grand Avenue in Ely, a woman, 32, received multiple injuries, while a 10-year-old girl had an arm injury and a 12-year-old girl injured her back. •Finally, at Asda petrol station, three people were attacked with a steering lock at the Asda petrol station at Leckwith retail park, with the victims suffering minor injuries. •Also at the petrol station, a mother, 49, and daughter, 27, were hit by the van, suffering multiple injuries. Tvrdon began the mayhem in a black Renault Clio, which he was seen to be driving recklessly along Western Avenue, a major commuter route in Cardiff. He drove to the car park of the West End Social Club in Cowbridge Road West, where he switched to his van. His ex-girlfriend Lisa Davies, who lived nearby, appeared quickly on the scene, standing in front of the van to prevent him driving off. She could not stop him. Now at the wheel of his three-tonne van, Tvrdon started on his eight mile rampage. Thirty minutes later, a spree of horror had unfolded stretching emergency services to the limit. Panic spread through the city as worried residents phoned loved ones or took to Facebook and Twitter to warn people to stay inside. Seconds away, Karina Menzies was walking with two of her young daughters past Ely fire station on the way home from school when, without warning and watched by horrified onlookers, Tvrdon drove at them. He veered across two lanes of traffic and aimed directly at them. Ms Menzies saw the van coming, screamed and tried to push one of her children out of the way as it hurtled towards the pavement. She was struck by the vehicle before it turned around and ran her over again. A witness described how Ms Menzies was semi-conscious and her children were calling out for their mother. She later died. Onlookers on a bus started shouting and jumped off to try to help, with some ringing 999 to report the number plate of the vehicle. A BMW driver drove off chasing the departing van but was unable to stop it. The A&E department at the University Hospital of Wales closed its doors to anyone not involved in the incident and those with non-emergency conditions were asked to stay away. Meanwhile, police were desperately trying to catch Tvrdon. He drove along Grand Avenue, a dual carriageway in a large residential area in Ely, where sub-postmaster Shady Taha, 29, had just served two girls and a young woman who had left his shop. "All of a sudden I heard a bang. I looked out and across the road - one girl was on the floor and the other girl was screaming," he said. After driving to Culverhouse Cross, Tvrdon drove along the Cardiff Bay link road to Leckwith retail park, where shoppers reported hearing a commotion at the Asda petrol station. Tvrdon was attacking three people with a steering wheel lock. He then got back into his van and when 49-year-old Jill White tried to remonstrate with him, he ran her over. When her 27-year-old daughter, Rebecca, ran to help her mother, he hit her too and dragged both women under the van along the forecourt and towards a lay-by before driving off. Motorist Sarah Pryor Leckwith, witnessed the incident. "It was an awful sight," she said. "I had a small girl in the car, I had to distract her and point at something away." Angharad Davies, who was heading for a coffee with her baby and two-year-old daughter, added: "I saw a van and there was a man chasing it and asking people to stop the van." Tvrdon was eventually arrested by officers at 15:57 near the Merrie Harrier pub at Llandough on the outskirts of Cardiff. The windscreen of his van was smashed and covered in blood. He attempted to resist the arresting officer, assaulting him with a crook lock. In turn, Tvrdon was sprayed with CS gas. The trail of destruction left a community in grief and shocked the rest of the country. In all, South Wales Police said there had been 44 emergency calls asking for police and ambulance and 100 eyewitness statements. In the days that followed, Welsh Secretary David Jones passed on the thanks of the prime minister to emergency and health services as well as his sympathies to those affected. Locals paid their respects to Ms Menzies by leaving flowers outside the fire station, while a packed service at the Church of the Resurrection in Grand Avenue heard how the incident had "broken the heart of the community". It was also announced that trust funds would be set up to help the family. Ms Menzies' brother Craig later revealed that she had "saved the lives" of her two children in the incident. But for many in the community, the mental and physical scars of that Friday school run in October will take a long time to heal. Tvrdon, who has paranoid schizophrenia, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at Cardiff Crown Court. He also admitted seven counts of attempted murder and other charges including three counts of grievous bodily harm with intent, and was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act. The crash on the A6 in Disley, Cheshire, near Lyme Park took place shortly before 05:30 BST, Cheshire Police said. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital to be assessed. There are no further reports of injuries. Engineers have been sent to assess the damage. 20 November 2015 Last updated at 07:01 GMT She is a cancer nurse in Gaza's main hospital, Al-Shifa.

Officer said the "unprovoked" attack took place at about 01:30 on Sunday morning. The two men, believed to be aged between 20 and 40 years old, hit their victim on the head before running off. The 20-year-old had left the club and was heading towards Goosecroft Road to look for a taxi when he was assaulted. He was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital for treatment, but has since been discharged. Sgt Murray McKenzie said: "From the information we have gathered at this stage of out inquiry, this appears to be a completely unprovoked attacked. "The suspects are unknown to the man and it is not clear why they chose to carry out such a vicious assault. "We are currently carrying out various lines of inquiry including reviewing the local CCTV network but today I'm asking anyone who saw this incident or has any information that can assist with our ongoing investigation to come forward immediately." Joshua Strickland "illicitly" drank alcohol he had brought on to the flight in July. The 21-year-old also threatened a family and a member of cabin crew on the Jet2.com flight from Leeds Bradford to Larnaca, Cyprus, Manchester Magistrates' Court heard. He is due to be sentenced on 25 August. Strickland, of Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft. The court heard when the member of staff attempted to calm him down, the defendant "began to punch the seats". He was previously fined £12,000 by the airline and banned for life after the flight was forced to divert to Manchester Airport. Earlier this week Jet2.com published a code of practice on disruptive passengers following collaboration between airlines, airports, the police and retailers. The Supreme Court is hearing a four-day appeal by the UK government against a High Court ruling that it had to get MPs' approval to start the process. The Welsh view will be put on Thursday. Wales' Counsel General Mick Antoniw said he was seeking to uphold democracy and the rule of law. The UK government claims Prime Minister Theresa May can invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to launch the formal two-year process of leaving the European Union using crown prerogative - powers used by ministers that do not require the permission of MPs. But Mr Antoniw has argued starting this process would "modify the competence of the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government". The Pontypridd AM said a rule called the Sewel Convention means Welsh ministers should be consulted over Westminster decisions on devolved matters. However, the UK government rejected this argument in a written submission to the Supreme Court ahead of the hearing beginning on Monday. It stressed that the "conduct of foreign relations", including those with the EU, were not devolved to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The submission added: "The tortuous attempt by the Counsel General ... to generate some relevance of EU law to s. 154(2) of the Government of Wales Act, on interpretation of devolved legislation, is a telling sign of the paucity of his examples." Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has said he hoped the Welsh Government was not getting involved in the Supreme Court appeal as a means of trying to block Brexit. He pointed out that a majority of people in Wales, and across the UK, had voted in favour of leaving the European Union. But speaking to BBC Radio Wales on Monday, Mr Antoniw said: "This isn't anything to do with the referendum - it's nothing specifically to do with Brexit or the merits of de-merits of it. "What this is about is the correct constitutional process for making significant constitutional change," he told the Good Morning Wales programme. "We've had developing for the last 300 years a series of constitutional rules which basically say Parliament is sovereign, Parliament makes the key decisions, and the royal prerogative cannot be used to overturn legislation, the rights of individuals or parliamentary democracy." The news comes after micro-engraver Graham Short was spotted in Bath last month, prompting speculation he had spent it in the city. Mr Short told BBC Radio Bristol he would presenting it to Bath's Jane Austen Centre as a framed gift. He said it would mark the 200th anniversary of the author's death. Mr Short, who lives in Birmingham, said he originally visited the centre to learn more about Jane Austen as felt he "really ought to know more about her life than I do". He added he would be returning to Bath on 18 July to hand over the engraved note. He said: "It will be framed with glass on the back and the front so you can see through it." David Lassman, from the centre, said it is currently in discussion over how best to display it. He added: "We're overwhelmed with the gift, which we hope will raise the centre's profile. "It's particularly poignant it will be presented on her anniversary." Mr Short initially engraved 5mm portraits of Jane Austen on four £5 notes, making each worth thousands of pounds. One of the four notes was spent in a cafe in Blackwood, south Wales, the others somewhere in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. So far, three have been accounted for. Jane Austen was an English novelist born in 1775 whose books were set among the English middle and upper classes. The Channel Island, which has a population of around 100,000, is hoping to follow Gibraltar and take part in European Championship qualifiers. Jersey is currently classed as a county by the English Football Association. Under Uefa rules, non-sovereign nations cannot be members, but the Jersey FA said earlier this summer it was hopeful of changing the European football governing body's mind. In May 2013, Gibraltar, which is a British Overseas Territory, was accepted as a full member of Uefa, European football's governing body. Gibraltar is the smallest Uefa member in terms of population, behind San Marino (just over 32,000), Liechtenstein (approximately 37,000) and the Faroe Islands (just under 50,000). While Jersey is self-governing, it is a crown dependency of Great Britain, with the Queen as head of state. However, the island is already recognised as a nation in its own right by the International Cricket Council, and its team reached the final qualifying tournament for the World Twenty20 this summer. There are two Jersey-born players currently playing in the Football League - Ipswich striker Brett Pitman and Rochdale midfielder Peter Vincenti - while former Scunthorpe United and Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough grew up in the island. The island's most famous player is undoubtedly Graeme Le Saux, who won 36 caps for England and the Premier League title with Blackburn Rovers, as well as playing for Chelsea and Southampton. Jersey's footballers currently play in the island's league, the Jersey Football Combination, and take on Guernsey in the annual Muratti vase clash every year. The island also competes in the football competition at the biennial Island Games and has a side in the FA Inter-League Cup, which they won in 2012, allowing them to represent England at the Uefa Regions Cup the following year. Many are losing their properties to debt collectors or live in fear of having their homes given to creditors. Thirty-two-year-old Hazel Mhembere, who lives in the dormitory city of Chitungwiza, 30km (18 miles) south of the capital, Harare, suffers this daily anguish. She and her husband, Tafadzwa Chingandu, lost their jobs last year. Both of them worked at a local bank, both lost their jobs and both had taken out loans. "Due to the circumstances of us losing our jobs, we could not meet the requirements to pay off our existing salary-based loans - supposed to be paid off over a period of two years," says Ms Mhembere. Now the $1,500 (£1,160) debt is proving hard to settle and they endlessly receive letters of demand despite having pleaded with the bank. Farai Katsande, president of the Zimbabwe Banks and Allied Workers Union, says the issue of debt among his members is a major cause of concern as the unemployment rate now stands at about 90%. "In Zimbabwe, [once] you get out of employment, there is very slim chance, if any chance at all, that you will get alternative employment." The stress is also affecting their health, with Mr Chingandu now needing hypertension medication. Their ordeal is mirrored across the nation. According to the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), between 25,000 and 30,000 workers have lost their jobs since a July 2015 Supreme Court ruling which allowed employers to terminate contracts without giving any benefits or redundancy payments, as long as their workers were given three months' notice. ''We have nasty incidences happening as a result of the Supreme Court ruling. Our members, that include those of banks, have been dispossessed of their properties," says Japhet Moyo, ZCTU's secretary-general. "We have had incidences of high levels of stress among our membership and many are under medication. It's a big crisis." Ten factors in Zimbabwe's economic slump: Ms Mhembere's fears about her husband's health are shared by many Zimbabweans. Private hospitals fees are out of reach for her. Public hospitals, where services have deteriorated but still need to be paid for, are reportedly also chasing patients who have defaulted on paying their debts. Their job losses have had other ripple effects. "We have got an extended family that has been benefitting from us being at work," says Ms Mhembere. "We were paying their rentals and were looking after their three children's school and day-to-day needs." The couple are themselves now surviving on handouts and doing, for example, laundry, but the money is not enough to cover daily needs. "My parents are very much worried. They always try to help even when you do not ask for help. "My mother is a retired teacher; old and cannot do anything on her own. I have the responsibility to look after her." "Tafadzwa [a qualified reconciliation clerk] is now doing menial jobs at an industrial area. He has to off-load stuff for warehouses," says Ms Mhembere. "At times when he gets a job as a driver, he can take a couple of weeks driving people around so that we can pay our utility bills." Defaulting on utility bills has become common and Michael Chideme, Harare City Council's spokesman, says the city is owed $500m by residents, the government and the business sector. "This issue is not going to end; almost 50% of Harare residents owe some kind of debt to a service provider," says Mfundo Mlilo, director of the Combined Harare Residents Association. More on Zimbabwe's crisis Mr Mlilo says some Harare residents who have not had water for 15 years still get bills from the city council as there are fixed charges. The city has no capacity to monitor all the water metres and check whether or not they are working - customers who refuse to pay their bills are considered debtors. Ms Mhembere, a former customer service employee, cannot fathom why her life has taken a turn for the worse. What breaks her heart the most is not being able to meet the needs of her 11-year-old daughter, Chido, who gets ridiculed in front of other students at her state-run school if her fees are not paid on time. "We can only pay so much at a certain time. She's made to stand up with the other children [whose parents have not paid] by the headmaster. "Then they start asking the children why they haven't paid their school fees." It is a common complaint - Stewart Mutanga, a hotel administrator who lives in Harare's high density suburb of Kuwadzana, says he has received a last warning from his children's school demanding payment. "It looks like a very small amount [$40] but currently I cannot afford to pay." The letter, written by lawyers representing the council-run school, said he should pay the debt within seven days with interest - failure to do so would mean the case would go to court and he would have to pay the legal costs. So even for those who are formally employed, the average wage is so low it cannot cover outgoings. And company closures and retrenchments continue because of the economic problems. "Some of our members have run away to their rural areas in fear of having their properties taken," says Mr Moyo. For Ms Mhembere, leaving Chitungwiza is not on the cards - yet. They are living in a house that belongs to her sister-in-law who lives abroad. "We cannot settle the loan without any money. "I am just thinking if they [the bank] do come and want repayment of their loan, I would just let them take some of my property [such as furniture and electronic goods] to cover for it." Follow us on Twitter @BBCAfrica, on Facebook at BBC Africa, on Instagram at bbcafrica or email africalive@bbc.co.uk Swindon were relegated to League Two and are without a manager following the departure of head coach Luke Williams. An approach for Mansfield boss Steve Evans was denied and after missing an appointment deadline Power admits the process is taking longer than expected. "We hoped to have something a bit closer than we are by this time," the 44-year-old told BBC Wiltshire. Williams won just 20 of his 75 games in charge of the Robins and left the club along with first-team coach Ross Embleton and sports scientist Mike Cooper after their 22nd-place finish in League One. Partick Thistle boss Alan Archibald and former Queens Park Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have been linked with the job, but Power is still searching. He said: "[The shortlist] is down to three [people]. But the club is changing direction this season, all the responsibility regarding players coming in and out and everything really will be down to the manager - so it's important we get the right one in. "We're trying to look for people with experience that can get us out of this league and knows players at this level." Swindon ended their five-season stay in League One six points from safety and Power believes poor recruitment was to blame for their relegation. "Last season it was very evident that we didn't do the recruitment properly," he said. "I feel that next season we need to go down a more traditional route and that's what we're going to try and do." However, the former Norwich and Bradford forward is confident the club can use their resources better next season. "Obviously next season we'll have one of the highest budgets, if not the highest budgets [in the league]," he added. "There are a lot of advantages - the manager will take 100% control of the football side. There's a blank canvas there for the right person to get on with the job." Swindon will take a "completely different direction next year", according to Power, who aims to get the club back into League One "by hook or by crook." Part of that change will come in the club's structure, with Tim Sherwood's role as director of football set to be scrapped. "I think that in all likeliness, when the new manager comes in, that Tim will move on," Power said. "Tim just needed to come in, evaluate what we had at the football club and what we needed for the [January] transfer window. "That was always going to be his role and that's what he did. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way and we are where we are." The referendum was held on Sunday in Saint-Apollinaire, a town of about 5,000 located just outside Quebec City. Provincial rules meant only 49 people were eligible to vote; the nays won 19-16 and one ballot was rejected. The cemetery was proposed by the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre, which was the site of a shooting that killed six people and injured 19 in January. "We never thought people could oppose the installation of a cemetery," the centre's president Mohamed Labidi told Radio-Canada. "What are they afraid of?" The Islamic cultural centre had purchased a plot of land in a wooded area next to an existing cemetery after the shooting. The only Muslim cemetery in Quebec is in Laval, hours from Quebec City. The town's decision to oppose the cemetery has led to an outcry amongst Muslims and civil-rights advocates across the country and may lead to a human rights complaint, Mr Labidi said. The mayor of the town supported the cemetery and has said he fears his town's reputation has been hurt. "They do not know these people so they base their decisions on hearsay," Mayor Bernard Ouellet told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Opponents went door to door to gather signatures to call for the referendum, since building the cemetery would require a minor zoning change. A provincial law allows referendums to be held on zoning matters, with only people who live in the affected area eligible to vote. That meant only 49 people in a town of 5,000 were eligible to vote, and only 36 people cast ballots. "We need cemeteries that welcome everybody, no matter their religion, where they are from, their skin colour, their culture. You have to think about that because in 20 years it is going to be a problem," opponent Sunny Létourneau told the CBC. She says she only supports non-denominational cemeteries. The Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service (SCTS) closed 10 sheriff courts across Scotland between November 2013 and January 2015. In response to a Freedom of Information request, the service said the former Dornoch Sheriff Court had been sold. However, the service said it had "disposed" of three other courts. Haddington Sheriff Court has been given free to East Lothian Council. In exchange, the SCTS said it would receive rent-free office accommodation from the council. It is understood the rooms would be made available to the courts when a vulnerable witness needed to give evidence by video-link. Peebles and Rothesay courts operated in buildings which were leased from local authorities. Those agreements have been terminated. The SCTS said it paid a total of £20,198 in annual maintenance costs on the six former courthouses that remain in its ownership Plans to close 10 sheriff courts and nine justice of the peace courts were drawn up by the SCTS and approved by the Scottish government in April 2013. It was estimated that the changes could save the courts service about £1.3m annually and a one-off initial saving of £3m. Court chiefs said they hoped to complete a "free transfer" of the former Cupar Sheriff Court to Fife Council in the new year. Like Haddington, the SCTS would be entitled to rent-free office accommodation under the agreement. The court service said it was also in talks with Scottish Borders Council about a similar arrangement of the old Duns Sheriff Court building. However a spokeswoman for the local authority has ruled it out. She said: "As this would have incurred additional pressures on the maintenance budget, we are no longer in talks with them [SCTS] about taking on the former court building." The SCTS also revealed that local community groups have expressed interests in acquiring their properties in Arbroath and Stonehaven. Dingwall Sheriff Court building is on the market and the former Kirkcudbright Sheriff Court is in the process of being sold. A spokesman for the court service said their Shaping Scotland's Court Service report, which was published in 2013, identified significant benefits from reorganising the courts estate. He added: "The report also confirmed that disposing of former court buildings would take a number of years to complete, but we are in fact ahead of our expected disposal schedule. "Through a combination of lease termination, open market sale, public owner transfer and potential transfer to community ownership the disposal of these buildings is benefiting local communities." 7 October 2016 Last updated at 15:29 BST He was at the scene of a fire which broke out at a disused commercial building in Holbeck on Friday. Ten fire engines were called to the scene on Whitehall Road at 12:42 BST. No-one was injured in the incident. Ince, 23, had a loan spell with rivals Nottingham Forest earlier this season. Rams head coach Steve McClaren said: "To bring someone of Tom's calibre in is a real coup for us." Lingard, 22, has made one appearance for United and McClaren added: "He is an exciting talent and someone that we are looking forward to working with." The midfielder had loan spells with Leicester, Birmingham and Brighton and his only first-team appearance for the Red Devils came against Swansea on the opening day of the season, when he was substituted with an ankle injury. McClaren continued: "He strengthens the attacking options that we can call upon and given we've lost Jordon Ibe and Johnny Russell in the last few weeks, it was important to strengthen in that particular area of the side." Ince, who was named Football League Young Player of the Year in 2013, began his career as a trainee at Liverpool and had a loan spell at Notts County under his father Paul Ince. The England Under-21 international moved to Blackpool in 2011 and spent three years at Bloomfield Road, while also spending four months on loan at Crystal Palace, before a permanent move to Hull in July 2014. "He knows what the Championship is all about and has made a real impact in the division before," said McClaren. "We hope that he can have an influence on our side for the rest of the season." The two missiles, with a range of 490km (305 miles), were fired from the western city of Nampo into the sea east of the Korean peninsula, the South Korean military said. The drills, involving tens of thousands of troops, always anger Pyongyang. It traditionally shows its displeasure with missile tests and louder rhetoric. Seoul and Washington describe the military exercises as defensive in nature. North Korea calls them a rehearsal for invasion. Key Resolve, a largely computer-simulated exercise, lasts 12 days and Foal Eagle, which has ground, air and sea components, lasts eight weeks. In a statement, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles, fired early on Monday, were probably Scud Cs or Scud Ds. The military remained "vigilant against any additional launches", it said. Defence Minister Kim Min-seok vowed a stern response to any provocation. "If North Korea takes provocative actions, our military will react firmly and strongly so North Korea will regret it in its bones," he was quoted as saying by Reuters. Earlier in the day the North Korean military condemned the joint exercises as "undisguised encroachment" on national sovereignty. Aggression should be dealt with by "merciless strikes", it said in a statement carried by KCNA news agency. In 2013 the joint exercises led to a prolonged surge in tensions, with North Korea threatening pre-emptive nuclear strikes and cutting a military hotline with the South. Drills in 2014 passed off relatively quietly, however. In January North Korea said it would offer a moratorium on nuclear testing if the joint exercises were cancelled. The US rejected this suggestion as an "implicit threat". North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests, in 2006, 2009 and 2013. Six-nation talks aimed at ending its nuclear programme have been stalled since early 2009. The invasion of the "aggressive" plant was raised in the Dáil (Irish parliament) by the colourful County Kerry politician, Michael Healy-Rae. He claimed "we are losing the war" against overgrown rhododendrons in Killarney National Park. He also said the park's deer population had "exploded" in recent years. The Kerryman claimed the park was being neglected by the authorities and pleaded with Regional Economic Development Minister Michael Ring to allocate more resources to its maintenance. "The rhododendron situation in Killarney National Park has become so bad that nothing short of calling in the army is going to put it right," said Mr Healy-Rae. Rhododendrons are a non-native shrub that can grow taller than 25ft (8m) if they are not controlled. Mr Healy-Rae requested a Dáil debate on the issue, in which he warned the plants were "taking over completely, despite programmes of work over the years to cut them". The minister admitted that the management of the "aggressive rhododendron is a long-standing, ongoing programme in the national park". However, Mr Ring rejected the suggestion that the government had neglected the public facility or its flowery foreign foes. "My department has invested heavily in tackling this invasive species, the control of which is difficult, costly and labour-intensive," he said. Mr Ring added that more than 700,000 euros (£590,000) had been spent on rhododendron clearance in Killarney National Park over the past six years. He said this work had made "significant inroads into the problem". The minister added that his department was working on an "updated strategic rhododendron management plan" and had appointed a "specialist" to assist with the shrub situation. In respect of the exploding deer, Mr Healy-Rae referred to a 2008 study which he said was the most up to date he could find. This research, he said, showed red deer numbers had "increased by 565%" over a 30-year period while and the sika deer population had risen by 353%. Mr Ring said staff from his department are "currently undertaking a cull of deer" in the national park. The cull, which is due to end next month, followed a "comprehensive survey" on the park's deer population carried out at the end of last year. Mr Healy-Rae is not the first person to issue warnings over the Republic of Ireland's rhododendron invasion. In 2014, a couple in their 50s had to be rescued after they became trapped in a "treacherous" rhododendron forest. It took search teams five hours to reach the couple in the Knockmealdowns Mountains, on the border between County Waterford and County Tipperary. The film adaption of Roald Dahl's story The Big Friendly Giant was partly shot on Skye and Orkney. David Broder said: "Scotland provided The BFG with very dramatic mountain and island locations that became our Giants Land, a place of wonder and awe." VisitScotland hopes the film will boost tourist visits to Skye and Orkney. Mr Broder said the Scottish government, along with public bodies and charities, helped the film's production team to shoot scenes on the islands. He said: "We received great help from Creative Scotland, Scottish ministers, RSPB Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and the friendly, helpful residents of Skye and the Orkney Islands." Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, said cinema played an important part in encouraging tourists to come to Scotland. He said: "With 40% of visitors to the UK inspired to come here after seeing a location on film or on television, the appearance of Skye and Orkney in Steven Spielberg's latest movie can only be great news, not only for the islands themselves, but for Scottish tourism as a whole." Tourism Secretary Fiona Hyslop added: "Our island communities serve as a unique backdrop for TV and film productions, with dramatic landscapes and seascapes. "These movies shine a spotlight on some of Scotland's greatest assets, icons and hidden gems, which helps attract tourists to our island and rural communities." Tourism body VisitBritain has already promoted The Storr, a geological feature of the landscape in Trotternish, Skye, used for the film, in its campaign called Oh My Giant Britain (OMGB). The BFG opened in the US on 1 July and in the UK on Friday. Skye is a favourite with film-makers and provided backdrops for Stardust, which starred Michelle Pfieffer, big budget sci-fi Prometheus, Snow White and the Huntsman, Keanu Reeves' film 47 Ronin and the latest film adaption of Macbeth. Last month it emerged that the production team behind The BFG were helped by Highland's Council's small tourism and film unit with its inquiries about locations on Skye. The 20-year-old Netherlands Under-21 defender joined the Blues from PSV Eindhoven in July 2009. He has made fleeting first-team appearances for Chelsea, with just three starts in eight outings to his name since his arrival. But he has gained experience during loan spells at Coventry, Newcastle and Leicester in recent seasons. He ended the current campaign on loan with the Foxes and made 12 appearances for the Championship side managed by Sven-Goran Eriksson. SAG Team rider Salom was taken to hospital and underwent surgery after the crash at turn 12 on Friday. "It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Luis Salom," MotoGP said in a statement. "Despite the best efforts of the trauma team, he passed away at 16:55 local time." British MotoGP rider Scott Redding wrote on Twitter: "My love and heart is with Luis Salom and his family. We lost another great rider. RIP Luis." Spanish Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso wrote: "Such terrible news. Such anger and sadness. Rest in peace, rider. A huge embrace to Luis Salom's friends and family." Danny Kent, the British Moto3 world champion wrote: "RIP Luis Salom, such a sad day. You'll be missed. Love to you and family." Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, winner of 14 Grand Slam titles, wrote: "Very sad news. Although words can't bring comfort in times like this, all my support goes to Luis Salom's family and friends." British MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow wrote: "So saddened of what happened today in Barcelona." Following a meeting of its Safety Commission, MotoGP said Sunday's race at the Circuit de Catalunya will still go ahead, but with a revised track configuration. Officers were called to Wandsworth Prison in south London at 07:35 BST on Monday to reports a male prisoner was dead in a cell, Scotland Yard said. The man, who has not been formally identified but is believed to be in his 60s, was pronounced dead at hospital at 08:52 BST. A man in his 40s, also a prisoner, has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A post-mortem examination is to take place in due course, a Yard spokesman said. Wandsworth, a category B prison, is the largest in the UK and one of the biggest in western Europe, and can hold more than 1,800 prisoners. The Scotsman writes that Mr Salmond led his party "from a minority movement into an election-winning political machine". The newspaper says there is "little doubt" Mr Salmond's deputy, Nicola Sturgeon, is favourite to succeed him as leader. David Torrance, analysing the impact of Mr Salmond on Scottish politics, says he is "perhaps the most significant politician to emerge from Scotland in the past three decades". In coverage of the referendum result, political correspondent Scott Macnab writes that "women and older voters were the secret weapon" that helped the "No" campaign win. The Herald runs with a quote from Mr Salmond's speech, in which he said "the dream shall never die", on its front page. The paper describes the announcement as "dramatic" and speculates that local government minister Derek Mackay and Humza Yousaf, the minister for external affairs, may also stand for the leadership. Columnist Iain Macwhirther writes of the resignation that Mr Salmond "was astute enough to realise that his time had finally come." The newspaper also writes that there is anger in the Labour party over plans to restrict what Scottish MPs can vote on at Westminster. And it has a pullout of analysis and results from Thursday's vote. The Daily Record, on its front page, describes Mr Salmond as "beaten but unbowed", running with a picture of the first minister with his wife Moira after they left his official home in Edinburgh, Bute House. The paper's political editor David Clegg says Mr Salmond "took the cause of Scottish nationalism to unimaginable victories" before Friday's "agonising defeat". Among tributes in the paper is one from Colin and Chris Weir, the euromillions winners who donated large sums to the "Yes" campaign. The paper also carries a pledge from Labour leader Ed Miliband that he will deliver more powers for Holyrood. The Scottish Sun splashes with a mocked up Looney Tunes image, with the headline "Nats all folks". The paper says Mr Salmond was "close to tears" during the announcement, which came after a "crushing referendum defeat". The paper, in its editorial, describes the first minister as "true colossus". And in a personal tribute, Ms Sturgeon says the "personal debt of gratitude" she owes Mr Salmond "is immeasurable". The paper also covers trouble in Glasgow's George Square on Friday night, saying hundreds of unionists clashed with police and "Yes" supporters. The Courier runs with the headline "Salmond steps down", The Express says he fell on his sword and The Daily Telegraph writes that the First Minister decided to "throw in the towel". A number of the UK papers cover the result of the referendum too. Proposed changes to government across the UK following the referendum result are also causing controversy. The Times says that there is deadlock in moves towards further devolution, while The Independent describes the United Kingdom as "disunited". The Guardian writes that the battle for new powers has now moved to England, with Labour and the Conservatives differing over who should vote on English laws. Mike Samwell, 35, was fatally injured as he tried to stop thieves from stealing his car from outside his home in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. Ryan Gibbons, 29, from Chorlton, appeared before Salford and Manchester Magistrates' Court. He was remanded in custody and is due before the crown court on Tuesday. Mr Gibbons, of Steven Court, Egerton Road South in Chorlton, is also charged with burglary and aggravated vehicle-taking. A 15-year-old boy, from south Manchester, who was arrested on suspicion of murder and burglary has been bailed pending further inquiries. Two men, aged 20 and 21, who were arrested on suspicion of murder and burglary have also been bailed. Former submarine officer Mr Samwell, was asleep with his wife Jessica in their Cranbourne Road home when intruders struck in the early hours. Police believe he was run over by his car, a black Audi S3, which was taken and later found damaged about three miles away from the house. Ten birds died at Exmoor Zoo over the course of two weeks. It is suspected the birds, some of which had lived at the zoo for more than 20 years, died of avian malaria. Post-mortems have been "inconclusive". Curator Danny Reynolds said: "The migrant birds bring it over, and because the penguins have grown up in a coastal environment they can't cope." More on penguin deaths, and news from Devon and Cornwall. Internal investigations are ongoing, with blood and tissue samples still under examination. Mr Reynolds said that, after the first death, zoo staff suspected a fungal disease may have been the cause but it later emerged something more serious was affecting the birds. He added: "Had we realised early on, we may have been able to administer anti-malarial drugs. "For those who hadn't already contracted the malaria, it may have saved them." The French striker opened the scoring on 74 minutes after both sides had lost two players to injuries. Alaves equalised through Victor Laguardia shortly after referee Mateu Lahoz limped off with a calf problem. However, Ben Yedder backheeled Vitolo's cross past the keeper in the 89th minute to move Sevilla up to second. Alaves midfielders Kiko Femenia and Daniel Torres were both forced off the pitch inside the first half hour. Samir Nasri - on loan from Manchester City - and Luciano Vietto were then replaced for Sevilla shortly after the break, before substitute Ganso set up Ben Yedder's first goal. The fourth official replaced Lahoz for the final stages of the game as Laguardia tapped in a corner to level the scores. Ben Yedder, who scored the deciding goal in Sevilla's Champions League clash with Lyon on Tuesday, again proved the difference with a crisp finish. Match ends, Sevilla 2, Alavés 1.

Ryan Belfon, 31, of Stapleton Road, Ilkeston, is also accused of criminal damage, assaulting a police officer and fraud offences, Derbyshire Police said. He appeared at court on Thursday and has been remanded in custody. He will next appear at Nottingham Crown Court on 15 June. Updates on this story and more from the East Midlands A legal wrangle means they are "highly unlikely" to move into their new stadium as scheduled for 2017-18. The Premier League club may have to find an alternative venue while construction work is carried out. Plans for the 56,250-capacity stadium, next to their current White Hart Lane ground, are being challenged by the landowners. Progress on the project appeared to take a big step forward in July when a compulsory purchase order of land was approved. But a Spurs statement issued on Wednesday said that decision was being challenged in the High Court and the club fear they will not able to move into the new stadium for the start of the 2017-18 season. "The club has revised its construction programme in order to take the shortest possible time to construct," said the statement. "This now therefore involves the club moving away from the Lane during construction for a period of one season, to start at the beginning of a season in order to comply with Premier League rules. "We are currently undertaking due diligence on alternative stadium options." The stadium would be built as part of a development that would also include the land their current home (capacity 36,240) stands on. In 2011, Tottenham lost out to West Ham in a bid to move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. The venue - which will be the Hammers' home from the 2016-17 season - is reportedly among alternatives, together with Wembley and Milton Keynes Dons, being considered for the time away from White Hart Lane. But with West Ham established as the prime tenant, it is thought the Olympic Stadium is not a front-runner in the search for a temporary home. The decision to merge the Town Hall and Westgate markets in Mansfield was taken by the district council. Some traders believe the merger will mean a drop in footfall. The move includes £100,000 in improvements to the existing Town Hall marketplace, including better stalls and signage. Under the changes, street market traders on Westgate will join up with the stallholders on nearby Town Hall Square. Executive Mayor Kate Allsop said she wanted the town to have "a bustling marketplace" with many new traders. But market trader Steve Louth said: "We can't afford to drop any takings - it has happened before and that is why the market is half empty." Westgate stallholder Sue McFarland added: "This will put us - me and plenty of others - out of business. We will not survive down there." The move will also include a reduction of trading days from six to five days a week to allow special events and concerts. Ms Allsop said: "I think that in six months' time you'll be looking back and saying what a brilliant move. "If you pull all the market together, it makes more of a market. People like that feeling of bustle and it will be very, very pleasant in Mansfield." She said there would 20 cost-free stalls available for new and first-time traders for 12 months. Stall prices will increase from April 2016 with rates ranging from £6 to £26 a day. James Lovelock told Radio 4's Today programme he was "shocked" at the lack of coverage so far. His views were echoed by Professor Sir Brian Hoskins, who said there had been a "total lack" of vision on the issue. Prof Hoskins said tackling climate change would be "key" to ensuring prosperity in the future. Mr Lovelock, the creator of Gaia theory, told Today: "I'm shocked because it is a key thing that they should be talking about. In a way we are fiddling while Rome burns and we certainly could be looking at a lot of suffering and a lot of unpleasantness." He said former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, as a scientist, was the one politician who "fully understood the issue". "She understood very well and got us thinking the right way", he said. "But there has been no politician since that has been able to do that." Prof Hoskins, director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, said politicians had failed to adopt a long-term approach. He told Today: "It seems that when we get to the discussions it all goes down to the lowest level of what's going to make someone happy for next five minutes and the politicians seem to think that's going to buy their votes." The main political parties have failed to set out distinct visions on the issue, he added. "I can't say that I can see any big difference in the statements they have been making just recently," he said. "This is an incredibly important year for the world, setting the framework for where the world is going in the next 30 years. And yet we don't hear that." Murrayfield's capacity to darken the mood is well established, but this past year has seen the picture change a little. Meaty wins against Argentina, Ireland and Wales. The best showing in the Six Nations in a decade. More tries than in any year since 1999. A world ranking of five for the first time ever. Mark Dodson, Scottish Rugby's chief executive, doesn't have much hair, but the bit that's there was on fire for the early years in the job when debt and rancour ruled against a backdrop of a game, and a business, in crisis. Dodson doesn't exactly come in the door at Murrayfield every morning singing Hakuna Matata, but things are better than they used to be. Ian McGeechan ran out of support and gave up his post as Scotland coach without so much of a murmur of protest from fans. Matt Williams, his replacement, was run out of town. Frank Hadden lost authority long before his exit. Andy Robinson lost it spectacularly after defeat by Tonga and resigned the next day. Vern Cotter's departure was unique. He was serenaded out the door. All of Murrayfield applauded him on that final Six Nations Saturday against Italy. The big man, for whom expressing emotion is akin to pulling teeth, almost cracked amid the love-bombing. Dodson had a dilemma last summer. He knew that Glasgow's Gregor Townsend was being coveted by foreign clubs and he also knew that Cotter hadn't committed in writing to staying on until the World Cup in 2019. He felt he had a decision to make. "I'm very proud of Vern, he's done a terrific job," says Dodson. "He's held in high regard by the players and you could see that from the finale he was given. But last summer, when the decision was announced, we were in a delicate place. We had the best young Scottish coach in Gregor, and we also had a successful Scotland coach in Vern. "When I came here I promised the board that I would develop Scottish talent and I had, in Gregor, an outstanding Scottish coach. It was the time for me to make that decision and bring Gregor into the national fold. "Gregor knows all these players, he's actually brought through a lot of them. We're going to build on the successful foundations that Vern has laid in place and I think Gregor will take the team on to the next level. "There's gambles in professional sport all the time, but what we've done here is bring through the right guy at the right time." They might have made the quarter-final of the European Challenge Cup, but Edinburgh remain a project stuck in the starting stalls. As a Pro12 team they are again in the midst of a failed season, sitting ninth in the table having lost 14 of their 18 league games this season, a dismal run that cost Alan Solomons his job earlier in the campaign and which did for Duncan Hodge's chances of succeeding him. Richard Cockerill will become their new coach in the summer. Dodson doesn't sugar-coat how dismal Edinburgh have been. Since the beginning of the Pro12 they have finished eighth, 11th, 10th, eighth, ninth and they'll be either ninth or 10th again this season. "Winning is everything and it's very difficult to get momentum unless they're winning consistently and what Edinburgh have done is win inconsistently," he says. "They've had wonder games against Stade Francais and Harlequins and made a European final (in 2015), but their bread and butter is the Pro12 and they've failed to deliver. "We had to put our foot on the ball and regroup. We got Richard. He had to think really clearly about coming to Edinburgh and he had offers in France and England. This is a guy who has won three Premierships. He's chosen to come here with his family and that says a lot about his belief in what we can do. "I'm not interested in the shooting star performances. They have no interest for me. Edinburgh have to start winning Pro12 matches. "I'm in touch with Richard about two or three times a week. He's built successful sides so he understands what's required. He won't make any snap judgements on anything until he gets here. He wants to see what it looks like. The SRU board are very clear that Edinburgh have to be successful - and they have the resources to be successful." Glasgow and Edinburgh exist under the same umbrella, but as organisations they're poles apart. Dodson reckons that Glasgow are three years further down the road. He says there's no vast difference in budget between the two. The extras that Glasgow get have been earned on the back of their considerable success. If they win their Champions Cup quarter-final against champions Saracens on Sunday, another £300,000 will be deposited in the SRU account. It would be a massive upset against a frighteningly good side, but Glasgow have won respect all around Europe. They travel in hope - and in huge numbers. More than 5,000 fans are heading south; an unthinkable number only a few years ago. "There will be a lot of nervous people down in Barnet on Sunday," says Dodson of the Saracens faithful. "And it's a testament to Glasgow - 5,000 travelling supporters is an extraordinary number. Their brand is growing all the time and we need to respond to that. "We have to get Scotstoun bigger because we have the capacity 7,300 there for nearly every game this season and we could probably have sold 10,000 for some of the bigger games. "We have to find a way of increasing capacity, we have to offer people in Glasgow who haven't been to a rugby game a way of coming to see us. We don't own the stadium, but our partners have been super-supportive so far. We're talking to them about how we can make it bigger and more permanent and they've been terrific. "Hopefully over the next 12 months we'll be able to see more seats in that stadium. It's front and centre on our minds." Dave Rennie, the celebrated Kiwi, will replace Townsend at Scotstoun next season. To say that his capture is a coup wouldn't be over-stating it. Rennie coached the New Zealand Under-20s to three straight World Championship wins from 2008 to 2010 and the won back-to-back Super Rugby titles with the Chiefs in 2012 and 2013. He'll have current Scotland attack coach Jason O'Halloran as his assistant. It's a seriously impressive coaching ticket. "If you talk to people who have played under him and people who have coached with him, this is a very special guy," Dodson explains. "Myself and Scott Johnson (SRU director of rugby) went to Cape Town to talk to him while the Chiefs were playing the Stormers. We said, 'Don't talk to anybody else, talk to us, this is our plan.' Nobody saw it coming." A mountain of business had to be done to keep many of Scotland's marquee names from being lured away to England and France. Some, like Josh Strauss, are leaving, but Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Alex Dunbar, WP Nel and others have signed new deals. The SRU have also negotiated the capture of Huw Jones for Glasgow. Smart work, that. "It cost us financially, but players are buying into the Glasgow story and what we want to do with Edinburgh," adds Dodson. "Instead of just being told about it, they can see the changes, they can see that Glasgow are at the business end of Europe and have a coach of the calibre of Dave coming in. They can also see that Edinburgh is starting to have a different coaching outlook for the future with investment going into Myreside. "We had to pay more to keep them in Scotland, no question about it, but we didn't pay as much as these players could have achieved by going elsewhere. Each of the major guys could have got hundreds of thousands pounds more at other clubs than what they've settled for here. There was real money out there for those players. They've decided to stay here rather than go in search of gold. That's a testament to the players." Some of these players are going to be touring new territory from 2020. A deal just thrashed out has put Scotland back among the elite nations in summer tour terms. The next decade has been mapped out, but the details haven't yet been published. Scotland, though, will tour New Zealand, South Africa and Australia for two and three-Test tours in those years, an undertaking they backed away from previously. "We've got Scotland back on the tier one schedule, which is the best thing for the country," says Dodson. "We'll still be touring tier two nations but this means a lot more games against the top teams in the summer and it also means that they are going to come here more often." The Times says it has "evidence of an organised drugs culture" similar to the one in Russian athletics. Earlier this month, Russian swimmer Yuliya Efimova was suspended after testing positive for meldonium. Russia's athletes are currently banned from international competition. Fina said it had taken a "particularly robust approach" to Russia after a World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) independent commission report exposed widespread doping practices in Russian athletics. It pledged to investigate any new doping claims "substantiated by evidence". The Russian Swimming Federation has rejected the allegations that it was covering up positive tests for doping among its athletes, R-Sport news agency reported. Fina has previously announced that the world's best swimmers will face up to seven anti-doping tests in the run up to August's Rio Olympics. Wada said it was aware of the claims that appeared in The Times and added that the allegations come at a time when "trust in clean sport is already in a perilous state". It said it had already written to Fina, with Wada president Craig Reedie adding: "There is no doubt that today's disturbing assertions of orchestrated doping in Russian swimming should be scrutinised." British Swimming chief executive David Sparkes said the sport is taking a "strong position" on doping, shown by the number of cases reported.

And yet, for women across France, it has huge importance: it is the moment they effectively stop being paid for 2016, thanks to the gender pay gap. And this year, many were determined not to let it go unnoticed. On Monday, French women were urged to quietly pack their bags and walk out of their offices at the appointed time to unite in their call for equal pay. In France, the gap between men and women's average hourly wage was 15.1% in 2010, which, feminist group Les Glorieuses calculated, means a woman will work 38.2 days more than a man for the same salary. And that, they say, is not on. Rebecca Amsellem, founder of Les Glorieuses, which launched the campaign, told the BBC: "To be really honest, I knew there was a huge difference between the pay - but I thought the difference would maybe be 10 working days, not a month-and-a-half." Ms Amsellem had been inspired to do the maths after reading how Iceland, a country considered a world leader in gender equality, still has a pay gap of 14%. For the last 11 years, women in Iceland have been walking out on 24 October at the time they should leave every day if they were to be paid the same hourly-rate as their male counterparts. In that period in the Nordic country, the time has moved from 14:08 to 14:38. If the pace continues, it will only take another 52 years for them to be able to leave at the same time as men - an unacceptable length of time, according to Gylfi Arnbjörnsson, president of the Icelandic Confederation of Labour. He told Iceland's national broadcaster: "No-one puts up with waiting 50 years to reach a goal. It doesn't matter whether it's a gender pay gap or any other pay gap. "It's just unacceptable to say we'll correct this in 50 years. That's a lifetime." In France, it appears a parallel sense of injustice has inspired activists to adopt the symbolism of Iceland's precisely timed protests. More than 10,000 women have indicated their interest in joining the movement on Facebook, and the hashtag "7novembre1634" has been trending in France, with hundreds sharing cartoons and memes highlighting the issue. Others write just one word: "Egalite." The movement even has the backing of two government ministers, and has landed on the front page of a French national newspaper, Liberation. "Support for the #7novembre16h34 movement: the struggle for equal pay must be by the whole of society," tweeted education minister Najat Belkacem. "Do not wait for 2186!" But France is far from the worst offender in Europe when it comes to the gender pay gap. In neighbouring Germany the gap was 22.3% in 2014, while in the UK it stood at 20.9%, according to Eurostat. The average pay gap across Europe was 16.7%, with the largest in Estonia, where it was measured at 28.8%. Whether Iceland and now France will inspire more movements remains to be seen. Ms Amsellem is just happy it has provoked a discussion in her home country. "What I am happy about is that feminist issues are still burning issues in people's minds," she said. "But it is crazy to think that in 2016, we still need to fight for these things." John Kerr, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, was asked by the boy's mother to look after the child on 6 November 2015. On leaving a pub and returning to the house after a one-hour absence, Kerr found police had been alerted after the tearful child had called 999. Kerr admitted wilfully abandoning a child in his care in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury. Paisley Sheriff Court heard that the boy dialled 999 after he could not find Kerr. The seven-year-old was tearful when he told an emergency operator that he only had his pets for company. Officers went to the property and were able to re-assure the schoolboy before one climbed in through a window and comforted him. Kerr later returned under the influence of alcohol and claimed he had gone for food for the child. He later conceded he had visited a bar and had stayed away longer than he had intended. Dortmund, who beat Legia Warsaw and Darmstadt 6-0, took the lead when Raphael Guerreiro fired home before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made it 2-0 when his strike looped in. Wolfsburg's Daniel Didavi pulled one back but Ousmane Dembele tapped in to restore the two-goal advantage. Aubameyang slid home his second and Lukasz Piszczek headed in the fifth. Dortmund have nine points after four games - along with two other teams with 100% records, Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin, who face each other on Wednesday. Eintracht Frankfurt moved up to fourth with their third win from four games - a 2-0 win at Ingolstadt. Freiburg'sNils Petersen scored the winner against Hamburg, who suffered a third straight defeat which left them third from bottom. Freiburg are ninth. Hoffenheim drew for a fourth successive league game with a 1-1 draw at Darmstadt. Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric's goal for Hoffenheim was cancelled out by Denys Oliinyk's effort in the 92nd minute. Hoffenheim are eighth in the Bundesliga, with Darmstadt in 14th. The hosts collapsed after lunch to a series of reckless shots and were bowled out for 223 to hand the tourists a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Joe Root (66) and Moeen Ali (39) gave England hope with a partnership of 101 to take them to 173-4, 146 short of their target. But after Moeen fell to the last ball before lunch, Matt Prior, Ben Stokes and Root were all out to pull shots in a disastrous 14 minutes of self-destruction as seamer Ishant Sharma took 7-74 - the best figures by an India bowler in England. The match ended when James Anderson was run out by Ravindra Jadeja, whom he is charged with pushing and verbally abusing during the first Test at Trent Bridge. It was India's first away victory in 16 Tests, a sequence dating back to 2011, and their first at Lord's since 1986. The defeat was England's seventh in nine matches, while 10 Tests without a victory is their worst sequence since 1992-93. Cook, who has scored a record 25 Test hundreds for his country, is averaging only 16 in four Tests this summer. He insisted he will not resign despite calls from former skippers Michael Vaughan and Alec Stewart to remove the captaincy from him. Cook's team have frequently squandered promising positions with bat and ball, not least when they reduced India to 145-7 on a green pitch on Thursday, only for the tourists to recover to 295. The manner of defeat raised echoes of England's 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia, when their performances became increasingly ragged as the series went on. England's latest collapse was all the more galling given the hope Root and Moeen had inspired in the morning session. After a patient first hour, Root took the attack to India with three fours off an over from Sharma to bring up his fifty off 122 balls. But, on the stroke of lunch, Ishant fired a fierce bouncer at Moeen, who took his eye off the ball and gloved it to short leg. What followed was little short of farcical as England fell into the most obvious of traps by taking on the short ball and picking out the men in catching positions. First, Prior pulled Ishant straight to deep midwicket, then Stokes top-edged to the same position for his sixth duck in 10 England innings in all formats. Root was the next to lose his head as he hooked into the hands of deep backward square leg to leave England eight down. Stuart Broad gloved a short ball down the leg side and the collapse was complete when Anderson pushed into the off side and was comfortably run out by a direct hit from his nemesis Jadeja. Listen to Geoffrey Boycott and Jonathan Agnew review the second Test on the Test Match Special podcast. Leicestershire Police said they were called to the house in Glazebrook Road, Leicester, at 11:00 BST on Tuesday. The force is treating the death as unexplained and said enquiries were ongoing to "ascertain the exact circumstances". The detained pair, both aged 35, are currently in police custody. Sandy Hamilton is accused of causing the deaths of Giovanni Coppolaro, 85, and his wife Maria, 83, on the A73 in Newhouse on 27 July last year. The 35-year-old, from Larkhall, denies the charge and another of driving without insurance. At the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lord Boyd set Mr Hamilton's trial for April next year. It is alleged that Mr Hamilton overtook a lorry on a bend when it was unsafe to do so and collided with an oncoming car in which Mr and Mrs Coppolaro, who were from St Ives, Cambridgeshire, were passengers. Mr Coppolaro died in Wishaw General Hospital on 27 July last year. His wife died there on 15 August last year. Gennaro Coppolaro, the driver of the car the couple were travelling in, was severely injured in the crash. Open-side flanker Warburton, out since 30 April, replaces the injured Dan Lydiate and is one of five changes to the team beaten by England last month. Second row Alun Wyn Jones will win his 100th cap for Wales at Eden Park. Prop Gethin Jenkins, hooker Ken Owens and lock Bradley Davies return, as does centre Jonathan Davies. Wales have not beaten the All Blacks in 26 matches since 1953. Ross Moriarty retains his place at blind-side flanker, while uncapped flanker Ellis Jenkins is named on the replacements' bench after being called into the squad following Lydiate's injury. Jones, who has also won six caps for the British and Irish Lions, becomes Wales' fifth centurion. Jenkins replaces Rob Evans at loose-head prop, Owens comes in for Scott Baldwin and Bradley Davies takes Jake Ball's place. Jonathan Davies, who comes in for Scott Williams, missed the defeat at Twickenham because he was on Top 14 duty with Clermont Auvergne. "We are under no illusions how tough the Test series will be against the back-to-back world champions but the players are also aware how important this tour is," head coach Warren Gatland said. "It's an opportunity for a couple of boys to start and we are bringing in experience with Gethin, Ken and Bradley. "In the midfield it's nice to have that experienced combination back and the players who move to the bench will still have an impact on game day." New Zealand are unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994 and the match will be their first since beating Australia 34-17 in the 2015 World Cup final. Head coach Steve Hansen has named a side showing six changes from that victory at Twickenham in October. Wales team to face New Zealand: Liam Williams (Scarlets), George North (Northampton Saints), Jonathan Davies (Clermont Auvergne), Jamie Roberts (Harlequins), Hallam Amos (Newport Gwent Dragons), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Rhys Webb (Ospreys); Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Ken Owens (Scarlets), Samson Lee (Scarlets), Bradley Davies (Wasps), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Ross Moriarty (Gloucester), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues, captain), Taulupe Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons). Replacements: Scott Baldwin (Ospreys), Rob Evans (Ospreys), Tomas Francis (Exeter Chiefs), Jake Ball (Scarlets), Ellis Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Gareth Davies (Scarlets), Gareth Anscombe (Cardiff Blues), Scott Williams (Scarlets). The 27-year-old scored one and made another before limping off in the 80th minute at Stamford Bridge. Speaking after the match, interim Blues boss Guus Hiddink said Costa had been "in a lot of pain" - although it is unclear how long Costa could be out. Chelsea next play away to Premier League leaders Arsenal in a 16:00 GMT kick-off on Sunday. Spain international Costa has scored five goals in five games for Chelsea since Dutchman Hiddink was appointed in December. He was their top scorer last season with 20 goals as Jose Mourinho led to the club to a Premier League and League Cup double, but had scored just four times before the Portuguese was sacked. Sergio Aguero's penalty, after Raheem Sterling was fouled by Patrick van Aanholt, gave City an early lead. But Guardiola, who left England keeper Joe Hart out of his starting XI, saw his new side concede to Jermain Defoe. City made few chances, but snatched an 87th-minute winner when debutant McNair headed into his own net. It had been 195 days since City announced Guardiola would succeed Manuel Pellegrini at Etihad Stadium, and results stagnated during that period, with five wins from last season's final 15 Premier League games leading to a fourth-placed finish. Guardiola, 45, arrived in Manchester with six league championships to his name - three each from his spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich - and brings an expectation he will guide City to a first Premier League title since 2014. But any hopes of an instant revolution were curtailed by a lethargic performance that lacked creative spark, despite dominating possession against a side that only avoided relegation in their penultimate game last season. And, while City may have required good fortune for the decisive goal - McNair heading in Jesus Navas' cross at the back post, it provides a winning platform for Guardiola, who was lacking injured first-team players Vincent Kompany, Samir Nasri, Nicolas Otamendi and new signings Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan. Hart's absence from the starting line-up is the most eye-catching decision of Guardiola's early days at City, and will raise the question whether the 29-year-old's 10-year stay at Etihad Stadium could be coming to an end. The former Shrewsbury player has made 347 appearances for City, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups and 63 England caps, but Guardiola opted to start with Willy Caballero. The Argentine made a notable stop from a point-blank Defoe effort, before the striker slid home a cool finish. Midfielder Yaya Toure was left out of the squad altogether, but the influential Ivorian may have been saved for Tuesday's first leg of the Champions League qualifier at Steaua Bucharest. John Stones, a £47.5m summer signing from Everton, looked composed at the heart of City's defence alongside Aleksandar Kolarov, and fellow debutant Nolito put in an enthusiastic performance on the wing. Sunderland's preparations for the new season were torn apart by manager Sam Allardyce's decision to leave for the vacant England job, but his departure opened the door for Moyes' return to the Premier League. The Scot's reputation was knocked by a difficult year as Manchester United boss, followed by an equally chastening 12 months at Real Sociedad. But he could well be liberated by the shift in pressure from replacing the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford to starting out at a club looking to improve on last season's 17th-placed finish. Three of Moyes' four summer signings featured, Donald Love starting at right-back, and Adnan Januzaj and McNair coming off the bench, but the latter's debut will be remembered for the own goal he scored just three minutes and 35 seconds after coming on. Despite rarely seeing the ball, Sunderland restricted the hosts' chances and will be buoyed by the quality of their goal - Defoe scoring in his 16th Premier League season by slotting home from a Jack Rodwell through-ball. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "It was tough for everybody and that is why people say the Premier League is tough. We were constant and we deserved the victory. "All of the new signings were a team so we fight. We spoke many times what we should do like a team - this is just the first step. "But, of course, for the new people, new manager, new players to start winning helps to believe in what we are doing." Media playback is not supported on this device Sunderland boss David Moyes: "You couldn't deny that City were the better team because of the players and the football they played but we did everything we could to make their football difficult for them. "For long periods we did a great job at it, but it is disappointing that we gave away the second goal. "But I can't be critical of the players because they did a great job defensively and all-round really - just disappointed we didn't get a point."

Wight wrote books which inspired the film and TV series All Creatures Great and Small. The statue cost £60,000, including £25,000 left in a will to the World of James Herriot museum in Thirsk. Museum director Ian Ashton said fundraising would continue for a fund for people working with animals. The James Herriot books were loosely based on Alf Wight's own experiences as a young vet working in rural North Yorkshire. Mr Ashton said: "The aim of the James Herriot Legacy Fund is to provide bursaries for people wishing to embark on a career concerning the welfare of animals, and for whom the James Herriot stories may well have been an inspiration." "It began with a very generous bequest by the late Mr Thomas Blinks who lived in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, and was a life member of the Friends of the World of James Herriot. "Fundraising is now a continuous part of our activities to ensure that the vets and veterinary nurses of the future can apply for support from the Legacy Fund." Alf Wight's children Jim Wight and Rosie Page said their father would be "proud" to be associated with the legacy fund and the statue was a "fitting tribute". It was installed in the garden at the World of James Herriot in Thirsk, on what would have been the 96th birthday of Alf's wife, Joan. His books were followed by two films in the mid 1970s, and the BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small from the late 1970s to the early 80s. And it seems the music streaming service is keen to oblige him, after it posted on its careers page a vacancy for "President of Playlists." The job ad says applicants should have "at least eight years' experience running a highly-regarded nation". It also calls for "a friendly and warm attitude, and a Nobel Peace Prize". Spotify CEO Daniel Ek gave the commander-in-chief a heads-up on Twitter, writing: "I heard you were interested in a role at Spotify. Have you seen this one?" before linking to the affectionate ad. While the posting does not name Mr Obama, it nods to his best-known buzzwords, saying Spotify is "full of hope, and always open to change". The "What you'll do" section says the candidate will identify new playlist ideas, "from a playlist for shooting hoops with your friends, to the perfect warm up playlist for addressing the nation about health care legislation that bears your name". "Ever had Kendrick Lamar play at your birthday bash?" it asks - "We'd love to hear about it!" Lamar joined Mr Obama at his 55th birthday, and the president has called him his favourite rapper. The advert also takes a swipe at President-elect Donald Trump, saying the President of Playlists must "attend daily briefings", and "analyze data and performance of playlists ... using all available intelligence". Mr Obama has been sharing playlists of his favourite music via Spotify since 2015, including tracks by Nina Simone and Bob Marley, and - for Christmas 2015 - Mariah Carey's seasonal super-hit All I Want for Christmas Is You. Spotify is a Swedish company, and according to Natalia Brzezinski - wife of the former US ambassador to Sweden - the president told him last week: "I'm still waiting for my job at Spotify... Cuz' I know y'all loved my playlist!" She posted about the encounter on Instagram, adding that Mr Obama loves Sweden and plans to visit again "really soon". It is not currently known what the 44th president will do when he leaves the Oval Office. Community activism and teaching have been mooted, while he has ruled out being a Supreme Court judge. In interviews, he has said he wants to help nurture the next generation of Democrat leaders - and ideally run an NBA basketball team. On Wednesday, he will perform a Budget encore. No chancellor has given a speech to a Conservative majority since November 1996, so this time he can expect a more rousing reception from the House. Will this be his chance to try out some new material in front of a favourable audience or will he simply repeat his best bits from the pre-election Budget in March. The likelihood is there will be a bit of both. So, how will this affect you? Critics of the chancellor's performance in March said there was not enough detail on how he was going to cut £12bn from the annual welfare budget in two years, as part of a bid to balance the books. The total welfare bill is £220bn. That includes benefits, tax credits and the state pension. Some £120bn of that is spent on pensioners, about £95bn of which are pensions and universal benefits that the Conservatives have vowed to protect. So, most of the £12bn of cuts will have to come from the £100bn that goes to those of working age. "He's announced about £2bn [of cuts] and we know nothing about where the further £10bn are coming from," said Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) on the day after the March Budget. "He will have to implement some significant cuts in some significant benefits." The first year of a new Parliament may be the most well-timed opportunity, politically, for Mr Osborne to outline where the axe will fall. This is expected to include cuts to: The prime minister has spoken about the "merry-go-round" of subsidising low pay with tax credits. This may be an example of "pitch rolling" - preparing the ground for a new policy. The changes to the benefits cap will extend a pledge in the Conservative party's election manifesto. Housing benefit was also outlined in the party's election programme. The Budget could include an incentive for businesses to improve the salaries of low-paid workers, to compensate for the blow of tax credit cuts. Plans to scrap part of the UK's main sickness benefit, Employment and Support Allowance, are being considered, a leaked Whitehall paper seen by the BBC suggests. In addition to the welfare cuts, there will be an estimated £30bn cut to unprotected government departments. There may be some more detail about this in the Budget ahead of a spending review. The impact is likely to be job losses in the public sector, and potential changes to workplace benefits for these employees. The Conservative manifesto pledged a change to the amount that the wealthy can put tax-free each year into their private pension pots. This is likely to mean that anyone earning £150,000 a year will be able to put £40,000 a year into their pension. Those earning more will see the maximum contribution level fall on a sliding scale, down to £10,000 for those earning £210,000 a year. Mr Osborne said in the build-up to the Budget that local authority and housing association tenants in England who earn more than £30,000, or £40,000 in London, will have to pay a larger amount in rent. There have been a lot of announcements in Mr Osborne's previous Budgets and Autumn Statements that people can account for in their personal budgets. These include: A plan for a fully flexible cash Individual Savings Account (Isa) was announced in the last Budget but required consultation with providers. This will allow savers to take money out, and put it back in later in the year, without losing any of their tax-free entitlement. This is scheduled to be introduced in the autumn. Following an update the function is now available only on the more expensive Windows 10 Enterprise version, as well as the Education edition. Many firms try to prevent staff from downloading additional software as it can cause problems with existing programs and affect productivity. Microsoft said it had made the change "by design". "Windows 10 Enterprise is our offering that provides IT pros with the most granular control over company devices," the tech giant said in a statement. "Windows 10 Pro offers a subset of those capabilities and is recommended for small and mid-size businesses looking for some management controls, but not the full suite necessary for IT pros at larger enterprises." John Harrison, owner of Harrison IT services, said the change could cause problems for small businesses. "Users like to change settings or try to install software by themselves. If they don't know what they're doing or don't have the appropriate experience, they can cause all kinds of issues," he said. "You are going to have to educate staff, tell them not to use the Windows Store unless it really is relevant to the business. How do you manage that policy?" In September 2015 there were 669,000 apps on the Windows Store, according to Microsoft's own figures. Microsoft says there are 300 million devices using Windows 10 one year after its launch. On 29 July, a free upgrade offer for Windows users with earlier versions of the operating system will come to an end. It took the top spot having made more than £34million, part of the UK and Ireland's total box office takings of £1.1billion. A close second was The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which took £33m. The lovable bear Paddington also hit the charts. It was the second biggest British film last year, taking £28m to date. Despicable Me 2 took the top spot in 2013 with takings of £47.4m. Middlesbrough, who finished fourth in the Championship, are bidding to return to the Premier League after a six-year absence. Norwich City, who came third, are attempting to bounce back at the first attempt. The match is known as the 'most lucrative game in world football' because of the money a team can earn from being in the Premier League. I really hope Norwich win after all they did come 3rd. I'd love to see them go back to the Premier League were they belong. Dominic, Norwich, England I'm a season ticket holder at Middlesbrough and I'm going to the game today. I'm so excited and can't wait and definitely think Boro should win. They were in the top two all season and were unlucky not to go up automatically. Up the Boro! Isaac, Middlesbrough, England This chat page is now closed. Thanks for sending in your comments. Cardinal Pell has emphatically denied the charges. At the Vatican, it's being seen as a punishing body-blow to the reputation and credibility of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal Pell, 76, is a former Archbishop of Sydney who now resides inside the Vatican. He was summoned to Rome by Pope Francis in 2014 to try to sort out scandal at the Vatican Bank, and to reform a particularly messy situation in Vatican finances. Three years ago, the cardinal pleaded health reasons for refusing to return home to face questioning at a public hearing by a Royal Commission set up to investigate allegations of child sex abuse inside Australian institutions such as churches, schools and sporting groups. However, he agreed to answer questions by video link from Rome, vigorously denying any wrongdoing, although arousing some public criticism over a surprising analogy that he offered. He likened the Catholic Church's responsibility for child abuse to that of a trucking company for the behaviour of its employees. "If a driver picks up some lady and then molests her," the Cardinal said, "I don't think it is appropriate, because it is contrary to the policy [of the company] for the ownership, the leadership of that company, to be held responsible." The Australian Trucking Association, representing 170,000 local truckers, said it was "deeply insulted" by his remarks. The cardinal has been granted a leave of absence by Pope Francis to return to Australia to defend himself in court in Melbourne on 18 July. A Vatican statement said that Pope Francis "...has appreciated Cardinal Pell's honesty during his three years of work in the Roman Curia, is grateful for his collaboration, and in particular, for his energetic dedication to the reforms in the economic and administrative sector". It went on: "The Holy See expresses its respect for the Australian justice system that will have to decide the merits of the questions raised. "At the same time, it is important to recall that Card Pell has openly and repeatedly condemned as immoral and intolerable the acts of abuse committed against minors; has cooperated in the past with Australian authorities (for example, in his depositions before the Royal Commission); has supported the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors; and finally, as a diocesan bishop in Australia, has introduced systems and procedures both for the protection of minors and to provide assistance to victims of abuse." At a news conference Cardinal Pell told reporters: "There has been relentless character assassination for months ... I am looking forward finally to having my day in court, I am innocent of these charges, they are false. The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me." The decision by Australian prosecutors to take Cardinal Pell to court comes at a particularly significant moment in Pope Francis' four-year reign - his handing over this week of red hats to five new "princes of the church". Pope Francis is selecting new church leaders - and perhaps his own successor - from clerics of a very different mould to that of his predecessors. In fact, he emphatically told his new cardinal appointees not to consider themselves "princes" but "servants of God and the people". Instead of promoting to top positions in the church former administrators of great metropolitan Catholic dioceses around the world, like Cardinal Pell (who has already submitted his resignation having reached the compulsory retirement age of 75), Francis is increasingly choosing new cardinals from among bishops in countries "on the periphery" as he puts it. Four of the five cardinals he appointed this week come from countries - Laos, Mali, El Salvador, and, surprisingly, predominant Lutheran Sweden - that have never had a representative among the Sacred College of Cardinals, the elite churchmen who alone have the power to elect future popes. A church dominated for centuries by Italians in particular, and Europeans in general, is reconfiguring itself to reflect the real and diverse world of the 21st century. The CPS had looked at four sexual abuse claims against the late TV presenter and DJ, all dating back to the 70s. Mr Starmer said he would also consider how the CPS could refer cases to other agencies when charges were dropped. The NSPCC said it had received 161 calls about allegations against Savile and had passed details to police. The charity said it had also received 105 contacts, unrelated to the Savile case, from adults about abuse they suffered when children. In other developments: The Met Police has launched an investigation into the star - who died last year aged 84 - and says more than 200 potential victims have been identified. The CPS has said charges were not brought over a file covering four possible cases of abuse against Savile - submitted by Surrey Police in 2009 - because the alleged victims' unwillingness to support police inquiries made a conviction unlikely. Director of public prosecutions (DPP) Mr Starmer, whose principal legal adviser Alison Levitt QC will conduct a review into those cases, said in a statement there were "obvious problems" in proceeding in such cases. This was particularly true where there was no forensic evidence "and only very limited, or even in some instances no, witness evidence, particularly in relation to allegations which date back a number of years", he added. He said the decision not to prosecute was being re-examined "out of an abundance of caution". And he said he would be discussing with the attorney general whether the CPS "should adopt a policy of referring cases to other relevant agencies, such as social services, where an allegation is made but cannot be proceeded with for evidential reasons". Shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry welcomed the DPP's decision but said "any review should be independent of the CPS in order to command public confidence". Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said: "The Director of Public Prosecutions specifically is going to consider what more can be done to alert relevant authorities where there are concerns that a prosecution is not taken forward. "The government will do everything it can do, other institutions must do what they can do, to make sure that we learn the lesson of this and it can never happen again." He said the allegations "and what seems to have happened are completely appalling and, I think, are shocking the entire country. "These allegations do leave many institutions, perhaps particularly the BBC, with serious questions to answer - I think, above all, how did he get away with this for so long?" The BBC has launched two independent inquiries related to Savile - one into whether there were any failings in the management of the Newsnight investigation, and one into the culture and practices of the BBC during his time there. "It's very important that the BBC makes clear these inquiries can go where the evidence leads, they'll have access to all the paperwork and they will be able to be truly independent and get to the truth on behalf of all the victims of Jimmy Savile," Mr Cameron told MPs. In a third review launched by the BBC, an expert will look at sexual harassment claims and practices at the corporation. Meanwhile, the BBC's editorial policy and standards director David Jordan has said that a controversial blog post written by Newsnight editor Peter Rippon about the dropped investigation was not "signed off" by senior staff. In the 2 October blog post - later described by the corporation as "inaccurate or incomplete" in some respects - Mr Rippon said the story would have been stronger if it could have shown institutional failings, which it had failed to do. His rise to fame and the allegations against him "We know that [BBC head of news programmes] Steve Mitchell was consulted about the blog, or rather it was shown to him, but he doesn't sign it off in any sense," Mr Jordan told BBC Radio 4's Media Show. He said the editor of a programme was "expected to know what's in the investigation he has commissioned or wants to run". "So there's nothing unusual about that, it's very straightforward, you ask the editor to account for it, the editor accounts for it. "Unfortunately, on this occasion some mistakes were made in the way in which he accounted for it." Conservative MP Ann Main has tabled a Commons motion calling for the Leveson Inquiry into press phone hacking to be extended to scrutinise the BBC. The new law requires models to provide medical proof of their weight, and for adverts to state if an image has been altered to make a model appear thinner. Supporters of the bill believe images of extreme thinness are to blame for eating disorders in young girls. Critics say the legislation should have focused on health not weight, as some models are naturally very thin. Models in Israel are now required to have a body mass index (BMI) - a calculation based on a ratio of weight to height - of no less than 18.5. They will need to have an up-to-date doctor's report certifying their weight when they go for jobs. Publications will have to specify if the image of a model has been manipulated to make them appear thinner. Around 2% of girls in Israel aged between 14 and 18 have severe eating disorders - a rate similar to other developed countries - anthropologist Sigal Gooldin is quoted by the Associated Press as saying. Rachel Adato, the Knesset member who pushed for the bill, said she hoped the law would encourage the promotion of a more healthy body image. "Beautiful is not underweight, beautiful should not be anorexic," she said. The fashion industry has long been blamed for encouraging anorexia and bulimia among girls of an impressionable age by its use of very thin models on catwalks and in magazines. Adi Barkan, an Israeli model agent and fashion photographer who helped Ms Adato promote the bill, said action needed to be taken. "I look (back) 15 to 20 years ago, we shot models (sized) 38. Today it's 24," he said. "This is the difference between thin and too thin. This is the difference between death and life." But Eli Edri of the Roberto Models Agency told Haaretz newspaper that the BMI index on which the law is based was "arbitrary" and "not appropriate for every model", some of whom are naturally thin and cannot gain weight. "I know many models who are totally healthy girls who might be disqualified because of the law," he said. "Such a law would disqualify them without determining whether they are really sick or not." Top Israeli model Adi Neumman has said she would fail to qualify for jobs under the new legislation as she has a BMI of 18.3, even though she eats well and exercises. The facility at The Hive in Finnieston, opposite Lewbowskis, will also house a food market and cafe. The proposal was given the go-ahead despite objections from neighbouring properties. It will be built over two years. The council has approved plans to form a new produce market and craft centre, constructed using re-purposed ISO shipping containers, on a vacant industrial lot in Finnieston. The application was submitted on behalf of Joe Mulholland, owner of The Hive and The Hidden Lane development - a community of over 100 studios in Finnieston where artists, designers, musicians and others work. The approval comes despite objections from neighbours, who raised concerns about the aesthetics of using stacked shipping containers, as well as fears about noise levels and crowding. Mr Mulholland said he believed those objecting to the new pedestrianised market would come round to the idea, because he was using quality materials and working with high-profile artists to "beautify" the containers - including Scots painter Alasdair Gray. The developer told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Initially, people were against the idea of the Hidden Lane. "But then when it happened, people were coming up to me in the street saying: 'thank you for what you have done for this area, you've really changed it.'" A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "The council's Planning Applications Committee considered all aspects of this application, including representations from local residents." It is anticipated that the development will be open daily between the hours of 08:00 and 22:00. Finnieston, which has an industrial past, was named as the hippest place to buy a house in Britain in a top 20 list by The Times last year. According to Right Move, the average price of a house in the up-and-coming area, often described as the "Shoreditch" of Glasgow, is £167,501 Pacific NorthWest LNG announced the project would not proceed "amidchangesin market conditions". Canada authorised the project last September despite concerns over its potential contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The major energy project would have seen LNG exported to emerging Asian markets. The cancelled initiative was one of the largest resource development initiatives in the country. Tuesday's decision was made by Petronas, the Malaysian oil and gas company leading the project, as well as its partners. "We aredisappointed thatthe extremely challenging environment brought about by the prolonged depressed prices and shifts in the energy industry have led us to this decision, said Anuar Taib, chairman of the Pacific NorthWest LNG board said in a statement. Mr Taib also said Petronas and its partners will continue to develop natural gas assets in Canada. The C$36 bn ($28bn/£22bn) project would have seen a natural gas liquefaction and export terminal constructed on British Columbia's northern coast, as well as a new pipeline. The terminal would have been built on Lelu Island, which sits at the mouth of the Skeena river near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. There were worries over the potential threat to an important salmon habitat alongside concerns over greenhouse gases. The controversial project sparked protests by some of the First Nations in the region. Other communities supported the LNG terminal because it would have injected millions of dollars into the local economy and created jobs. OxVox, The U's supporter group, confirmed it had begun "constructive and positive discussions" with Firoz Kassam about buying the 12,500-seater stadium. Mr Kassam bought the club in 1999 for £1 and sold it in 2006 for £2m, but retained ownership of the stadium. He said he is open to the "principle" of community ownership. Oxford United chairman Darryl Eales said he had made three bids to buy the stadium, two of which were rejected while another was "still on the table". He said: "My plea is now to make swift progress. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the by the end of the season, sooner if possible, that the stadium ownership is resolved for the long term." Mr Kassam said: "I am happy to confirm the principle, after discussions with OxVox, that the target for the stadium is that it should pass into community ownership for the future security of the football club and the benefit of the local community." Chairman of the supporter's group Jem Faulkner welcomed the news. He said: "Everything is all still at a very early stage and there is much detail to work through, but the willingness of all parties to talk openly and discuss the possibilities gives us great cause for optimism." The Yellows enjoyed one of their most successful seasons last year after reaching the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, beating Premier League side Swansea in the FA Cup third round by 3-2, and gaining promotion to League One. Repeated sell-out crowds led the club to put in planning permission to erect a fourth stand at the ground. Oxford City Council approved plans last month for 735 new seats, bringing the ground's overall capacity to 13,235. This process has to move pretty quickly. The Indian company is looking for another buyer but it's very difficult to see how that's going to work. Tata is also looking at what's going to happen with the UK Government and its involvement. There's been a lot of talk about part-nationalisation - but that almost flies in the face of what successive governments have done. I'm not sure we're going to see one company coming in and buying up all of Tata's operations. We might be looking at parts appealing to certain companies. Liberty Steel has been talked about, which has opened up in Newport. But steel-making from scratch - which employs a lot of people in Port Talbot - is an expensive process which uses up a lot of energy and it's difficult to see who's going to come in and potentially buy that. Tata may look towards selling parts of the business. Shotton is very successful - one part of the business not included in this rescue package because it was doing very well - and parts of Llanwern are very successful. You may also see bits of Port Talbot which are very successful being sold off. But that idea of making steel from scratch as happens at Port Talbot when producing steel in China is so cheap and Russia as well is selling steal cheaply around the globe, it's very difficult for any potential buyers. We've heard about the potential of the UK Government underwriting a management buyout. That would need not just the £100m investment we heard about in the turnaround package but underwriting that £1m loss a day at Port Talbot until that could be turned around. But if you look at what Tata is saying, it talks about the survival plan being unaffordable, the assumption as being risky and the delivery of it highly uncertain. So it's difficult to see how it's going to progress. For those 750 workers already being made redundant as a result of the plan - that process is ongoing. That leaves well over 6,000 Tata workers in Wales. We also have to remember there are a lot of other companies, from engineering firms to cafes and shops which rely on the work around Port Talbot who will be affected. Kamal Ahmed: The economics of steel? Pretty bad Oscar's free-kick put the Blues ahead before Andre Ayew stabbed a close-range equaliser after keeper Courtois had kept out Bafetimbi Gomis's header. Federico Fernandez put Willian's cross past his own keeper before Courtois was sent off after bringing down Gomis. New signing Asmir Begovic came on but failed to stop Gomis's spot-kick. Swansea played with an extra man for more than half an hour but could not make the most of the advantage. The dangerous Gomis had the ball in the net but was ruled offside while Jefferson Montero, who was excellent throughout, forced a fine save from Begovic. Much has been made of Chelsea's failure to attract a box-office name from outside the Premier League this summer. Even Jose Mourinho, who signed a new four-year contract on Friday, has warned of the danger of standing still yet neither of his two main close-season buys started the game. Diego Costa did, despite his manager claiming in the build-up that the forward was a major doubt, but the Spain international rarely looked like scoring, let alone repeating his hat-trick in the corresponding fixture last season. The champions contributed to a high-tempo, entertaining game but did not look like a side that won the league by eight points last season. Even before Courtois's dismissal, Swansea had more shots than the hosts and were lively throughout, full of enterprise and in Montero had the best players on the pitch. It does not get any easier for Chelsea, with last season's nearest challengers Manchester City next up. It is no secret that the champions have been trying to strengthen their defence, with Everton's John Stones a target. There are still another three weeks before the 1 September deadline but, if Chelsea's current defence was trying to persuade Mourinho not to strengthen the back four, they failed. Ayew, Swansea's new signing from Marseille, took his goal well but the Chelsea players were slow to react after Courtois kept out Gomis's powerful header. Swansea finished eighth in the table last season, a campaign which started with a fine 2-1 win at Manchester United. Media playback is not supported on this device They managed to do the double over Louis van Gaal's side - as well as Arsenal - and they look as though they will again cause problems for clubs with serious title ambitions. Garry Monk has brought in four players over the summer, with Andre Ayew looking a shrewd signing after scoring on his first Premier League start for the club. Yet it was the familiar face of Montero who really impressed at Stamford Bridge, the Ecuadorian winger a constant menace throughout as he teased and tormented Chelsea's defence. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "They didn't have chances against 11. The team was playing very, very well in the first half. In the second, in one minute, it was a penalty, red card and the goal - 2-2. Media playback is not supported on this device "If you have 10 men and are winning you can defend well and try to find a strategy but to play with 10 men and try to win the game is more difficult. I would say we were the best team with 11 players and with 10 we fought hard, some fighting at the limit of their condition." Swansea manager Garry Monk: "I thought our performance warranted at least that point. We went for it and showed our attacking prowess." On the red card: "It is a goalscoring opportunity. The letter of the law is that it is a red card and we got what we deserved today." Jefferson Montero was at the Copa America tournament in Chile for Ecuador during the summer and has not had a full summer's rest since 2011. You would not have known it at Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old was at his threatening best and used his pace to cause problems. He was also not shy to test Courtois or Begovic. Match ends, Chelsea 2, Swansea City 2.

The migrant described as "very angry" walked into a police station on Monday and made the claims after a decade in the city, police said. He was arrested in what police said was a "strange incident". Greater Manchester Police's city centre team tweeted the man had been handed over to immigration staff. The man was later de-arrested following immigration checks. He said the departments of health, employment and learning, enterprise and policing would also benefit. The executive agreed the budget for 2015/2016 on Friday. However, three of the parties, the Ulster Unionists, SDLP and Alliance, all voted against. It was passed with a majority of 9-4, with support from the DUP and Sinn Féin. An extra £150m is being given to executive departments, compared with the spending set out in the draft budget, which was published in the autumn. The budget will be officially unveiled in the assembly on Monday. Mr Hamilton told the BBC's Sunday Politics that the executive had been able to make "strategic allocations" to departments the public viewed as priorities. "It's fair to say that the lion's share of that £150m, and in fact the biggest single allocation will go to the department of education," he said. "That's in response to not only our desire within the executive to see a high quality education system, but also the consultation that was there, that was put out in the response that has come back from the public and the concern that there was that the classroom would be hit." The finance minister also welcomed the fact that ministers had agreed a budget. "I think the fact that we have been able to agree a budget and agree that budget well in advance of the deadline of doing it by the end of January, with two weeks to spare, is an achievement particularly when you consider where we have come from," he said. "The fact that we have been able to find another £150m to put into the budget, to put into key frontline public services and also to underpin economic growth and to get agreement on that, I think it's something we should be welcoming." Police cordoned off an area of woodland in Barton-on-Sea after the remains were discovered by a member of the public on Tuesday morning. They have been monitoring the scene around Long Meadow off Willow Walk, but have only just given any information about the investigation. A spokeswoman for Hampshire Constabulary said no further details were available. An eyewitness said there had been a "continual" police presence, with seven police vehicles and a helicopter as well as investigators in white overalls on the scene. The base in Merchant Street is in need of repairs, and has restricted access for those with impaired mobility. SPA members are being asked to approve proposals to relocate to Aberdeenshire Council's Buchan House premises in the town. The building would be disposed of, along with the police office in Cruden Bay. Meanwhile, an SPA meeting will also hear that plans to close the Aberdeen police control room and transfer calls to Dundee are on track. The move is part of Police Scotland's cost-cutting plan to centralise control rooms. The state department rejected claims by Tehran that Shahram Amiri, who surfaced at a Pakistani embassy building, had been abducted by US agents. Mr Amiri vanished more than a year ago. In June, three videos apparently showing him - and containing contradictory information on his whereabouts - emerged. Profile: Shahram Amiri Timeline: Shahram Amiri mystery He said in the first that he had been kidnapped by US and Saudi agents, in the second that he was living freely in Arizona, and in the third that he had escaped from his captors. On Monday evening, he arrived at the Iranian Interests Section of the Pakistani embassy in Washington, which handles Iranian affairs in the US capital. Iranian media say Mr Amiri had worked as a researcher at a university in Tehran, but some reports say he worked for the country's atomic energy organisation and had in-depth knowledge of its controversial nuclear programme. By James ReynoldsBBC News, Washington There is very little to suggest that 2209 Wisconsin Avenue in Washington is home to employees of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iranian Interests Section is on the ground floor of an anonymous office block and displays no flags or symbols. A crowd of journalists is near the front door. A man tells me he's Iranian and asks what's going on. I tell him that a controversial Iranian scientist is inside - and may be heading back to Iran. "He's crazy," the bystander concludes. At the time of his disappearance, he was thought to be on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. US TV network ABC reported in March that he had defected and was helping the CIA by revealing valuable information about the Iranian nuclear programme. But earlier this month, Tehran said it had proof that Mr Amiri was being held in the US. State department spokesman PJ Crowley said: "He has been in the United States of his own free will and obviously he is free to go. "In fact, he was scheduled to travel to Iran yesterday, but was unable to make all of the necessary arrangements to reach Iran through transit countries." There are no direct flights from the US to Iran and the two countries have no diplomatic ties. Mr Crowley added that Mr Amiri had informed American authorities that he wished to leave the US - which seems to confirm that American officials have been in touch with him. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters at a news conference that Mr Amiri had been kidnapped during the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and taken to the US against his will. He said Mr Amiri should be allowed to return home "without any obstacle". US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Mr Amiri was free to go, and highlighted the case of three young Americans held by Iran since July 2009 and accused of illegally entering the country. "These are decisions that are his alone to make," she said. "In contrast, Iran continues to hold three young Americans against their will, and we reiterate our request that they be released and allowed to return to their families on a humanitarian basis." Mrs Clinton also mentioned the case of Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who disappeared in Iran in 2007. With the score at 0-0, McHugh was dismissed for a challenge on Don Cowie after 53 minutes. Hearts soon scored through Alexandros Tziolis' deflected strike and Esmael Goncalves added a late double. "It's never a red card in a million years," McGhee told BBC Scotland. "It's an embarrassment as far as I'm concerned. That has cost us the game." Last week, Motherwell had Scott McDonald dismissed in the 2-0 defeat by Rangers and the Fir Park club's appeal against the dismissal was rejected by Thursday's Scottish FA disciplinary tribunal. "We'll be appealing it all right," said Scotland assistant coach McGhee of referee Andrew Dallas' decision to dismiss McHugh. "It's another £500 into the SFA coffers and we'll probably get it turned down, but we believe it's right. "I think every single player on the pitch is astonished. All of our players certainly were. He won the ball and caught him with his trailing foot. It's ridiculous. A shocking decision. "They got a flukey goal with a big ricochet, but we were still the better team at that stage, then they counter attack and get the second. The scoreline does not reflect the nature of the game. "I'm proud of the effort and embarrassed by the sending off." Hearts head coach Ian Cathro said of the challenge: "In the moment of it, it did not look like a particularly nice tackle. But, without seeing it again, I can't really comment on it strongly one way or the other." It was a second Premiership win for Hearts this week, following Wednesday's 4-1 defeat of Rangers. "We felt we needed to speed up our possession and force more of our attacks down the sides, so we made changes at half-time," Cathro added. "From then on, we started to be more threatening. "Overall, we controlled most things quite well. "It's nice for Goncalves [to get his first goals for the club] and it shows the supporters how much he loves scoring. "He gave good work for the team and, collectively, it's been a very positive day for us." St Johnstone, like Rangers, will be at home for the first leg when they welcome Lithuania's Trakai. Northern Ireland's Crusaders were paired with Latvia's Liepaja, while Ballymena United and Coleraine are away first to Norway's Odds and Haugesund respectively. Bangor City will play Denmark's Lyngby. Fellow Welsh side Bala Town were paired with Liechtenstein's FC Vaduz and Connah's Quay Nomads take on the Finnish club HJK Helsinki. Ties will be played on 29 June and 6 July. Aberdeen, who were runners-up to Celtic in the Premiership, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup, enter the competition in the second qualifying round, which takes place early on Monday afternoon. More to follow. The full-back is out of contract with the French Top 14 side this summer. Toulon have made an offer reported to be worth £750,000 per year. Halfpenny is set to announce an extension to his current deal for at least another season after the club's European Champions Cup quarter-final against Clermont-Auvergne on Sunday. The Welsh Rugby Union and Blues have offered the 28-year-old British & Irish Lion a national dual contract (NDC), but Blues chief executive Richard Holland admitted it is "unlikely" Halfpenny, who joined Toulon from the region in 2014, would accept. Media playback is not supported on this device Among the stumbling blocks was the length of the NDC with Halfpenny seeking a 28-month deal while the WRU were only willing to offer either a two or three year contract. Halfpenny, who has played 74 times for Wales and scored 668 points, has also since been linked with a potential move to Bath for the 2018-19 season. Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal is eager to keep the club's top points-scorer for a fourth season but agreed to delay contract talks until after the Six Nations. Halfpenny had a week off following Wales' controversial climax to the Six Nations Championship against France in Paris, in which he scored all of Wales' 18 points in their defeat. On Sunday he will make his first appearance for Toulon since January in their European tie. Wales prop Aaron Jarvis is named on the bench for opponents Clermont. Boudjellal previously told BBC Wales Sport: "He is like Jonny Wilkinson, he is a very special player and he makes his own decisions. "We have spoken before but I don't know yet his decision."

The Edinburgh club clinched the Championship title with a 3-0 win at home to Queen of the South. And Hibs continue their Scottish Cup defence with a semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden next Saturday. "The players can be very proud of what they have achieved, the cup win and now promotion, it's heady days for us," Lennon told BBC Scotland. "We were favourites going into the league and, to be fair, they have lived up to the billing. "We've got a semi-final to prepare for as well, and we want to be competitive in that one, defending the trophy." Match report: Hibernian 3-0 Queen of the South The title win, with three games to spare, brings to an end a three-year period in the second tier. "Hopefully we won't be back here for quite a while," said Lennon, who took over from Alan Stubbs in June last year. "I came in at a good time, off the back of the cup win," added the former Celtic and Bolton boss. "Stubbsy left us a really good foundation to build on." Lennon, 45, won three league titles and two Scottish Cups when in charge at Celtic. When asked how this achievement compared, he replied: "It's up there. I had some great days at Celtic - great scenes - and this is just as good. "It's nice to have a promotion on the CV. "It's a great feeling personally and you can see what it means to people like George Craig [director of football] and Leeann Dempster [chief executive]. "There's plenty of work still to be done but the players should enjoy themselves today. "They were fantastic today; that's what they are capable of producing." Long-serving full-back Lewis Stevenson played in the side that was relegated via the 2014 play-offs and missed out at the semi-final stage of the play-offs in the past two seasons. "It's been a long three years and I'm just glad we are finally over the line," said the 29-year-old. "I've been here through thick and thin and it's times like these that make it worthwhile. "There were dark times when I thought we'd never get back and I'm just glad to be part of it. "I know it's been a kind of sticky run recently but the boys have been amazing this season and we did it in style today." Steinhoff said Poundland would be a "complementary fit" to its expansion plans in the UK and the rest of Europe. Poundland operates more than 900 stores across the UK, Ireland and Spain, and employs 18,000 people, but recently announced falling profits. Steinhoff owns 40 retail brands in 30 countries, including Bensons for Beds and Harveys in the UK. Steinhoff has already built up a 23% stake in Poundland, and last month made an informal approach to buy the firm, which was rejected. Last month, Poundland reported a fall in full-year profits as it admitted the integration of 99p Stores, which it bought in September last year, had placed a "strain" on its business. Steinhoff is paying 222 pence per share for Poundland. The discount retailer's share price had fallen from 418p in February 2015 to below 200p before the deal was announced. Poundland chairman Darren Shapland said: "The Poundland board believes that Steinhoff's all-cash offer presents Poundland shareholders with an opportunity to realise their shareholding at a certain and attractive price." The pound has also dropped about 15% against the rand since Steinhoff made its approach for Poundland in June. "The weak pound makes this all the more attractive for the South African retailer," said Neil Wilson, analyst at ETX Capital. "Expanding its operations in Europe should act as a useful hedge against rand volatility and exposure to South Africa's stagnant economy." Shares in Poundland, based in Willenhall in the English West Midlands, rebounded 12% to 220p on Tuesday following news of the deal. Steinhoff has been trying to increase its exposure in Europe this year. The purchase of Poundland comes after an unsuccessful attempt to buy Argos owner Home Retail Group, when Sainsbury's ended up as the successful bidder. Steinhoff also failed in an attempt to buy French electronic goods retailer Darty which lost out to French retail chain Fnac. Analysts said the outlook for Poundland and other discount stores in the UK looked bright given that the vote to leave the EU is expected to dent economic growth. "Prospects look good for Poundland," said Jonathan Pritchard, retail analyst at Peel Hunt. "A possible consumer downturn plays into discounters' hands as consumers looking to save cash trade down." However, the fall in sterling's value may force Poundland into a change of strategy, and ultimately to drop the single price point it trades on, in favour of becoming a general discount store chain like Home Bargains or B&M. "It operates on wafer-thin margins, so in the medium term, their strategy may be to look for a wider product range to offset the fall in the currency," said Greg Bromley, senior analyst at Verdict Retail. But he added that any such move was unlikely to happen within the next year, and that it would present opportunities to rivals. Staffordshire Police said material relating to the deaths of 214 patients between 2005 and 2009 was reviewed. Deputy Constable Nicholas Baker said there were "no grounds" for a criminal investigation against any individual clinician or manager at the trust. He said this did not detract from the "appalling care" many suffered. For updates on this and other Staffordshire stories The review was set up in 2013 and led by a panel which included the South Staffordshire Coroner and the Crown Prosecution Service. Mr Baker said "a direct result of this work" had been two successful criminal prosecutions against Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust. He said without the review it was "highly unlikely" the trust would have been prosecuted for the deaths of Ivy Bunn, Lillian Tucker and Gillian Astbury. The now defunct trust was fined £500,000 last December for "basic" blunders linked to the deaths of the three elderly women, as well as the death of 89-year-old Patrick Daly in 2014. Mr Baker said the review had involved an "extensive examination" of material relating to the 214 deaths. "That there were no grounds to support individual criminal investigations does not detract from the appalling care that many patients suffered during the period of this review; patients and their families were badly let down by the trust, and some of its clinicians and their management," he said. "We believe the improvements made to the way different agencies work together, the regulatory and reporting framework, and the systems in place to report deaths in healthcare settings to appropriate authorities has strengthened the system considerably since the original tragedy." Stafford Hospital, which is now County Hospital, was at the centre of a £6m public inquiry into care failings. A new NHS trust was set up in 2014 to run the hospital and Royal Stoke University Hospital. The advice, drawn up by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, features on a list of 40 treatments that bring little or no benefit to patients. The list is part of a campaign to reduce the number of unnecessary medical treatments. Patients are also encouraged to ask more questions about procedures. Medical experts from 11 different specialties were asked to identify five treatments or procedures commonly used in their field that were not always necessary or valuable. These have been used as part of the Choose Wisely campaign to highlight the need for patients and doctors to talk frankly about how health issues should be treated. The advice includes: The current list of treatments will be added to every year. The academy says there is evidence that patients often pressure doctors into prescribing or carrying out unnecessary treatments and the NHS is also coming under increasing pressure to reduce over-medicalisation - in other words the medicines and treatments it prescribes. For some time now, GPs have been advised to cut back on prescribing antibiotics to patients. The academy says patients should always ask five key questions when seeking treatment. Prof Dame Sue Bailey, chairwoman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, told the BBC: "Some of these treatments can be quite invasive, time-consuming; there are simpler and as-safe options, so why wouldn't you? "Because I think what we've got is a culture of 'we can do something, therefore we should do something' and we need to stop and reflect and decide what is the best option for the patient in their individual circumstances." Cwmbran's Griffin Place Communications went into liquidation in August, with the loss of 120 jobs, despite receiving £600,000 of public money. Director Stephen Wigg blamed staff for having too many "duvet days", but then set up in nearby Blaenau Gwent. The Welsh government told BBC's The Wales Report it considered the business' viability before investing. However, questions have been asked over why Mr Wigg received the cash after his previous Essex-based company AAC Media was also wound up in 2014. Mr Wigg blamed the failure of the Cwmbran business on staff having "too many duvet days" and "getting drunk". But former employees have now questioned the Welsh government's decision to back him. Katherine Kennard said the work ethic was good with Cwmbran staff putting in extra hours, saying the decision to close and open up a new business nearby "just doesn't add up". Another former employee, from Cwmbran, said she was furious at being labelled "lazy". "I'm extremely angry," the 30-year-old said. "I'm going to get branded as lazy, when I was turning up for work on time even though I hadn't been paid for five days. "I've never had a sick day - or a duvet day." A creditors meeting earlier this year showed Griffin Place Communications owed nearly £2m, while the new business - Griffin Place Media Limited - which he set up in Ebbw Vale in August, has since closed. Finance expert Gerry Holtham questioned if giving grants, rather than loans, is a good idea in terms of trying to create jobs. Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies said there is "a real case to answer" over the process undertaken before the money was awarded. "Of course there is an element of risk with anything you make available, but when you have directors, such as in this company who have a track record... you really do have to ask the question, what due diligence was done?" he said. A Welsh government spokesman said it received a funding application from Griffin Place Communications in July 2014, with plans for 300 jobs, of which 121 needed Welsh government financial backing. The spokesman said it considered the management's previous experience and the viability of the business before investing in it. He added: "The Welsh government has registered its interest with the liquidator in order to recover as much of the outstanding debt as possible." Paint was thrown at the property in Roden Street, causing damage to a window, some time between 21:00 BST on Friday and 02:30 BST on Saturday. The house was empty at the time and no-one was injured. Insp James Murphy appealed to anyone with information about the attack to contact officers on the non-emergency number 101. It ruled that the education minister's approval to close Clintyclay Primary was "infected" by incorrect information that the school had financial problems. It means minister John O'Dowd must take a fresh decision on the future of the school in Dungannon, County Tyrone. The legal action against the closure was brought by the parents of a pupil. The couple claimed the court verdict would inject new confidence into the entire community. Clintyclay had been the first Catholic school in Northern Ireland to attempt a switch to integrated status, where children of different faiths would be educated together. Delivering his ruling at the High Court in Belfast, the judge focused on how the mistaken belief that the school was facing cash problems had featured in the move towards closure. He said the mistake may have originated from a Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS) parish review which was fiercely disputed by the school and parents. "In fact, not only was it not in financial difficulties, it had a budget surplus," the judge said. However the error occurred, it made its way into the decision-making process, the judge concluded. The CCMS had proposed that that school should close after its enrolment dropped below 30 pupils. An alternative proposal advanced by the school's Board of Governors to change its management to grant-maintained integrated status was rejected. At the time of his announcement last October, the education minister said enrolment numbers meant it was no longer sustainable. Due to this long-term situation transformation to integrated status was not regarded as a feasible option. But seeking to judicially review the minister's announcement, a barrister for the parents said the decision should have been deferred until a full assessment of the transformation option was carried out. The judge said Clintyclay's attempt to transform its status could have "a galvanising impact" on the integrated sector. "The minister was faced with the possibility of saving an educationally successful and obviously much-loved school at the epicentre of its (local community)," he told the court. Such an outcome would also have been a "groundbreaking" boost for integrated education. "The minister clearly and mistakenly made both important decisions on the basis the school was under financial stress," he said. "It's also clear that the advice given to the minister was infected by the erroneous CCMS report and by this material financial inaccuracy." Quashing the closure decision, the judge added: "The problem for the respondent in this case is there never was any financial or budgetary difficulties." Outside court Gerard Cunningham, who brought the legal challenge with his wife Breda, described the verdict as a fantastic boost in their efforts to keep Clintyclay open. Mr Cunningham, whose daughter attends the school, said: "We're delighted. This is going to put new confidence back into the school and the whole community." Their lawyer, Setanta Marley of KRW Law, said: "We are pleased that the minister for education's decision was quashed on the basis that he relied on erroneous information. "He missed an opportunity to transform the first ever Catholic school in Northern Ireland (to integrated status)." The accident happened some 16km (10 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu. The bus was carrying tourists to Gorakhpur from Kathmandu. Accidents are common in Nepal's mountainous regions largely because of poor road conditions, badly maintained vehicles, reckless driving and overloading. Police officer Tejendra told the Associated Press news agency that the bus veered off the Prithvi highway and plunged nearly 1,000ft (300m) before landing in a river. He said the injured had been taken to different hospitals in Kathmandu. In November, 47 people died after a bus crashed into a river in western Nepal. And in October, an overloaded bus in the west of the country plunged off a road into a gorge, killing at least 29 people. Most of the passengers were travelling to meet their families to celebrate a Hindu festival. Chase, 31, has made five appearances for the Vikings since the initial temporary move, having been told he was not part of Castleford's 2018 plans. In addition, Widnes have signed hooker Danny Walker to a new four-year contract after his first-grade breakthrough this season. Head coach Denis Betts said: "The deals represent a real statement of intent." New Zealand-born Chase was the 2011 Man of Steel, has played for the Tigers, Salford, Leigh and now Widnes, as well as representing England at senior level. In contrast, Walker, 18, is at the opposite end of his career, with just six professional appearances to his name. "Rangi has made a big impact since his arrival, contributing well both on and off the field," Betts added. "He has exceptional abilities and, as an international standard half-back, adds real quality to the team. "Danny is one of the most promising young players in the Super League. His commitment to a four-year contract shows his belief in what we are building at the Vikings." The 29-year-old Northampton player, who has been banned for a total of 54 weeks for offences such as gouging, biting and striking, succeeds Chris Robshaw. "Dylan is an honest, hard-working bloke and I admire his aggressive and uncompromising approach to playing rugby," said England coach Eddie Jones. Hartley said it was "a huge honour" to be named England captain. Capped 66 times, Hartley became the youngest ever Premiership captain in 2009 when he took over the role at Saints. He has been sidelined with concussion and a rib injury but started for Saints in Saturday's European Champions Cup win over Scarlets. Harlequins flanker Robshaw, 29, was captain for the past four years but came in for heavy criticism during England's poor World Cup campaign. Hartley has revealed he thought his England career might be over after he missed the World Cup because of suspension. Media playback is not supported on this device He added: "I'm really excited about the challenge ahead but, in reality, leading this squad of players will not fall just to me. "There are a number of guys in this squad who will all have important leadership roles to play so we can take this team forward." Jones, who replaced Stuart Lancaster, added: "I have every faith he will lead the team tactically and passionately. English rugby is indebted to Northampton to have produced such a fine player." Former England hooker Brian Moore says Hartley's appointment is a "big risk", but England international James Haskell backed the "abrasive" Hartley as someone who will "command respect". BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter Chris Jones: "Since being appointed England coach, Eddie Jones has made it clear he will do things differently to Stuart Lancaster, and the appointment of Hartley as captain is a clear indication of this. "Jones wants to build an aggressive, dominant and confrontational pack of England forwards, and he will hope Hartley can spearhead this, especially given there is a feeling England were 'too nice' during the World Cup. "Clearly Hartley's disciplinary past will be an issue, and this move will be seen as the first substantial gamble of Jones' tenure. However Hartley's supporters will argue his track record in an England shirt is a good one, and he showed his leadership credentials when captaining his club Northampton to the Premiership title in 2014." The governor of the state, Kamala Beniwal, has given her assent to the new law after keeping it on hold for more than two years. Gujarat has witnessed many incidents of people dying after consuming poison alcohol. The government says the law will deter those involved in the illegal trade. Gujarat is the only state in India where alcohol is totally prohibited by law. The state legislative assembly passed the new stringent bill after scores of people died in one incident in 2009. But the governor refused to sign it into law. Correspondents say she wanted the provision of the death penalty to be dropped from the bill, but the state government did not agree. It was then referred to the central government for "legal opinion", and the governor gave her approval only after getting the nod from Delhi. The law will also allow the authorities to impound and auction vehicles used for transporting contraband. Illegal alcohol - commonly called desi daroo or country-made liquor in Gujarat - is usually sold in 200ml plastic pouches for 10 rupees (20 cents) each. The majority of the consumers are poor, daily wage workers. The pouches are transported into the state's main city, Ahmedabad, by couriers on motorcycles and scooters. Sometimes they slip into the state capital carrying jerry cans containing the alcohol. The alcohol is then sold from shantytown shacks which dot the city. Local residents and journalists allege that the police are on the take and collect "protection money" from the dealers. Gujarat's toxic liquor is usually spiked with methyl alcohol and industrial spirits which can lead to fits, vomiting and death. The teenagers returned from the 2015 World Scout Jamboree at the weekend. One of them - Brodie McMaster - was treated at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, and has returned home. Health Protection Scotland said all close contacts had been identified and were being prescribed antibiotics. Scouts Scotland said it was keeping everyone fully informed and supported. The negotiations will be held in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. The talks follow the success of four years of negotiations with Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc, which signed a peace accord in December. President Juan Manuel Santos says he now wants to achieve "complete peace" in Colombia. The talks are going ahead after the rebels agreed to free a former congressman it had been holding as hostage. ELN peace talks: What are the challenges? The ELN, or National Liberation Army, is Colombia's second largest rebel group. On Monday, it released a soldier it had been holding hostage for two weeks. The soldier, Freddy Moreno, was handed over to delegates from the International Committee of the Red Cross in Arauca province. The talks were due to begin at the end of October. But they were delayed as the government refused to go sit down for formal negotiations while the rebels still held Odin Sanchez, a former congressman. Mr Sanchez was released last Thursday, after 10 months in captivity. The rebels had demanded that in exchange the government pardoned two of its members serving time in Colombian jails. The two sides struck a deal and the two ELN members were released on Saturday. The two who have been released are expected to serve as rebel negotiators at the peace talks in the Ecuadorean capital, Quito. The ELN was founded in 1964 with the stated aim of fighting Colombia's unequal distribution of land and riches, inspired by the Cuban revolution of 1959 The government reached a peace agreement with Colombia's largest rebel group, the Farc, in December, after four years of negotiations in the Cuban capital, Havana. Members of the Farc have been gathering in "transition zones", where they are to demobilise and lay down their weapons under the supervision of United Nations monitors. The last of the Farc rebels are expected to reach the designated demobilisation areas by Wednesday, government officials said. The Manxman slipped 26 seconds behind Dimension Data team-mate Edvald Boasson Hagen on Wednesday's third stage. But the Norwegian punctured 8km from the end of the 189km fourth stage to drop to fifth, 19 seconds off the lead. His compatriot Alexander Kristoff won Thursday's stage to climb into fourth place, nine seconds behind Cavendish. Kristoff beat Belgian Greg van Avermaet - who is second overall - in a sprint finish, with 2013 winner Cavendish fifth in a reduced bunch. Intermediate and finish-line time bonuses are available on the final stage, and could yet determine the overall outcome.

One post by Police Scotland's Stirling division, saying someone found on a shop roof used the game as an excuse, got over 7,000 retweets in 24 hours. Police Scotland confirmed that the tweet was a joke. The official police accounts have become known for posting cheeky humour amongst police updates. The Twitter account covering Glasgow North used the Pokemon slogan 'gotta catch 'em all' to refer to the apprehension of four people. The phrase 'Pokemon Go' has now been tweeted over 15 million times across the world The game, which comes in the form of a mobile app, combines reality with gaming and requires players to walk around outside to find Pokemon. Scottish Fire and Rescue Service also used the trend to encourage people to test their fire alarms. Jokes aside, Ayrshire Police Division relayed a safety message to those taking part in the gaming craze. The 20-year-old centre-back is yet to make his debut for the Blues but has been a regular for the club's under-21 side over the last two seasons. "Dion has to force his way into the side but this move will be good for his development," Shots manager Garry Waddock said. "The physical demands of the league will be a learning curve for him."

He wants licence fee payers to have a greater say than politicians. Lord Hall said there has been a "major change" over the past 20 years which has made the foundations of the BBC's independence "weaker". The government has yet to comment. "When I was working in news and current affairs in the '90s, the independence of the BBC was protected by a set of quiet customs and traditions," he said. "Back then it was Willie Whitelaw who'd provided us with the certainty of a 15-year Charter, underpinning our independence by allowing us stability through the political cycle. "When I returned to the BBC as director general, I was struck by a major change. The foundations of the BBC's independence had become weaker. The traditions and informal arrangements which protected it had been eroded." He cited the decision to fund government programmes such as digital switchover, rural broadband and local TV as examples of how the licence fee should not have been used. He also suggested recent licence fee settlements have been decided behind closed doors without a "full process". Future licence fee negotiations should, he said, be made with the input of licence fee payers possibly by an online vote. The speech to the Cardiff Business Club comes in the midst of negotiations for the corporation's next 10-year charter. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is reviewing the size and scope of the BBC and what sort of programming the corporation should provide. One key part of the process is deciding who should oversee and regulate the corporation. The current system, a BBC Trust, is both a watchdog and also the decision-making body controlling the size and strategy of the corporation. Lord Hall, echoing the current BBC chairman, Rona Fairhead, said the roles should be split and the BBC should for the first time have an external regulator. He also said the new BBC Charter should not say what programmes the BBC should be allowed to make nor should they be told to back away from output or ventures deemed to be too promising or popular. "If, having cut our money, the charter also cuts our creative freedom to reinvent our services, or our commercial freedom to make up the shortfall... Letting this happen would not just have unintended consequences for the BBC, but for the UK's creative economy as a whole. "Some might think, for example, that a call for us to focus only on content sounds reasonable. But 10 years ago that kind of prescriptive regulation would have prevented the BBC from investing in Freeview or creating the iPlayer. And it would have meant none of the ripple effects of that investment, which helped to create a new market for video-on-demand and benefit all players." And he added that the suggestion, made by some, that the BBC should renew its charter every five years would be a "sword of Damocles" in which the BBC's existence could be threatened at every election. Instead, he called for the charter period to be extended to 11 years, which would take it out of the electoral cycle and that any changes to the system should only be changed in Parliament with a two thirds majority and a vote by licence fee payers. The 34-year-old centre-back rejoined the Gunners from Lincoln Ladies in January 2014, having previously played for Arsenal between 1999 and 2002. She helped the north London side win the FA Women's Cup in 2014 and 2016, and the Continental Cup in 2015. Stoney scored one goal in 18 appearances in Women's Super League One this year. Arsenal finished third in the table after winning 5-3 at Liverpool on Sunday. "I'm sorry I never got the chance to say goodbye" tweeted Stoney, who was appointed an MBE in 2015. "But I would like to say a big thank you to my team-mates and all the amazing fans for all your support. "Looking forward to my next chapter." Oxford's town crier Anthony Church had claimed he was a "regimental sergeant major" and wore a Falklands medal. Mr Church, 63, said he had been "very stupid" and apologised to genuine members of the armed forces. He has resigned from his position as Oxford town crier and from the same role in five other places. Mr Church, 63, whose voice could reach 118 decibels, had attended town crying events around the country and even appeared on television making bogus claims about his background. But allegations he had fabricated his military career surfaced on the internet on Sunday. He told BBC Radio Oxford: "When I became town crier, when people questioned me about my background I stupidly told them I am an ex-serviceman... that is absolutely not true. I have never served in the military." Mr Church admitted buying medals to wear but said the British Empire Medal he donned had belonged to his father, an RAF pilot He added: "It was very stupid and I categorically now apologise to everybody who has served in the forces. It was never my intention to cause any distress or upset. "I made a mistake, I told someone I'd served and it's been going on from there. I can't apologise enough for the hurt and distress it has probably caused people." He added that he was "absolutely distraught". "How can I stand on a street corner and have people come up to me? People will probably feel, with hindsight, that I have misled them," he said. As well as standing down from the Oxford job, Mr Church has resigned as town crier for Wallingford, Chipping Norton, Banbury, Daventry and Thame. Banbury Town Council chairman Kieran Mallon said his actions were "disgraceful". "To wear medals and decorations you are not entitled to is morally wrong and disrespectful to those who served," he said. Helen Stewart, town clerk of Thame, said she had accepted the resignation of Mr Church, whom she described as "well liked and jovial". "It's very unfortunate. We can't understand what compelled him, but the consequences will have a significant effect on him and his future," she said. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Abdallah Saied gave the Pharaohs the victory. The result means Egypt are two points clear at the top of Group E. Ghana are already in danger with just one point so far, but with four more qualifiers to come. Egypt's first goal came from the penalty spot after Black Stars defender Harrison Afful brought down Mohamed Trezeguet two minutes before the break. Roma's in-form winger, Salah, struck his spot-kick firmly into the middle of the goal to put his side ahead. Salah had also come close after 25 minutes with an effort from close range but Ghana came back strongly after half-time, with Egypt's 43-year-old goalkeeper Essam Al Hadari making key saves from Christian Atsu just after the hour mark and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu in the 79th minute. Saied then scored on the counter attack with five minutes to go to ensure the victory as Egypt bid for a first World Cup spot since 1990. In the play-off for a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Ghana hammered Egypt over two legs to qualify for a third successive finals appearance. Uganda are second in the group, two points behind Egypt, following their 1-0 win over Congo Brazzaville in Kampala on Saturday. Democratic Republic of Congo regained first place in Group A on goal difference from Tunisia after a 2-1 comeback victory over Guinea in Conakry. The match was won through two goals in quick succession during the second half from England-based attackers. Neeskens Kebano from second-tier club Fulham equalised on 54 minutes and Everton's Yannick Bolasie snatched the winner two minutes later. Seydouba Soumah had raised Guinean hopes of a first group win by converting a 23rd-minute penalty. DR Congo and Tunisia have six points each and Guinea and Libya are pointless in the only group where two teams have won both their opening two matches. Only the five group winners will qualify to represent Africa at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It will fund new excavations, marine mapping and landscape modelling at the islands off Pembrokeshire and the Llyn Peninsula in Gwynedd. The research aims to help safeguard the sites from the risk of climate change and minimise the impact on local economies. Sites in Ireland will also benefit. The five-year EU-funded project will also support plans for future climate change management and look at the longer-term changes to Wales and Ireland's coasts. It will also provide training to encourage the development of tourism opportunities in both areas. The project will be led by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, along with Aberystwyth University, the Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland and Geological Survey, Ireland. Exclusive footage and testimony from the east of Iraq's second city, recaptured in January, reveals how the extremist group persecuted women and religious minorities and tried to control all aspects of people's lives. However, the videos also show how schools and cafes are reopening and shops restocking with previously banned products. Journalist Ghadi Sary captured the scenes after returning to the city three years after exposing the brutality of life under IS in secretly-filmed videos for the BBC. While Iraqi security forces have reclaimed most of Mosul, part of the west remains under IS control. WARNING: This article contains disturbing details about violent acts. The videos, filmed in March on mobile phones, show how some aspects of women's lives are returning to normal, with shops starting to sell clothes and cosmetics once again. However, women living in the city describe how the legacy of IS rule remains.

The girl had come down to the small neighbourhood shop to buy some sweets when IS militants approached her. The girl, chatting innocently to the old shop owner, was asked by the militants where her home was. She pointed it out before running and hiding. Her parents come to see what was going on and the IS fighters lectured them about how their daughter was violating Sharia law by being alone with the seller. Even this innocent young girl was not allowed to enjoy her childhood and go and buy sweets. Mosul from above: 360 aerial view Mosul: The story so far After a long debate, the fighters decided the girl's punishment was to be bitten or pinched in her face or on her hands by the women of the Hisba [the religious police], or the more adequately described "monsters of Hisba". The terrified mother begged them to punish her instead of her young daughter but there is no room for discussion with IS. The child was punished in front of her screaming mother. The monsters aggressively and repeatedly beat her and pinched her. The child was screaming until she passed out and her heart stopped. The wailing mother completely lost her mind when she saw her child die in front of her. The whole neighbourhood went mad in fear for our children after that day. Reem, 27, Al-hadbaa neighbourhood: My father was quite protective of us growing up, and during the two-and-a-half years of IS rule, he worried about where we were, so we were homebound for most of the time. It felt like living in prison all this time, and our outings we extremely rare. Once, I was walking down the street when I started stumbling because of the way our faces were constantly covered by black fabric. IS fighters saw me and started following me. This only made me run faster and stumble even more - like a prisoner escaping some death sentence. I managed to make it home that day, but that feeling never left me. I constantly have nightmares about being followed by those men, and I wake up completely terrified and exhausted. Even after liberation I still have those nightmares. Our lives under IS were empty and boring as we were locked in our homes. They shut down our universities and wrote on the front door: "A woman's kingdom is her home". Unnamed female resident: Schools, universities and education in general were the biggest losers of the dark rule of IS. Most of those institutions were shut down, and education under IS was focused on teaching jihad and combat techniques. Women and men were separated and women were told to completely cover up. Women suffered the most under IS as many had chosen to stay at home throughout all the years they had been controlling our city. The city itself was one large prison. Life for the city's residents was changed beyond recognition under IS. Footage reveals how the city's closed university was badly damaged. However, residents are trying to restart classes.

My father worried we would be severely punished if we were caught in possession of one at our home, so we had to remove it. But after several weeks of staying at home under almost total lockdown - we were left jobless and without any university or other activity since IS had taken over - we eventually grew bored and decided to set it up again. We did it in a way that was not obvious to those looking in from the street, by locating it on the roof behind some water tanks. A few days later, we heard loud knocking and yelling on our street and we knew the Hisba [religious police] had come, so I ran upstairs to dismantle the dish. As soon as I peeked my head out, I heard a voice shout, "Come down we saw you", and I realised they had agents peering in from higher rooftops. At that point some men knocked on our door and started dragging my father outside. I ran quickly and pushed them off. As a result, I was taken away along with many men from my neighbourhood. I was then locked up for nine sleepless nights. We rotated between standing and sitting in our overcrowded cell. I was then put in front of a judge who was younger than I was and clearly couldn't read or write. He sentenced me to be flogged 60 times. They asked me which part of my body I would choose, but I didn't understand the difference, so I said the upper part. They tied me down and started flogging the upper part of my body. Every time I screamed in pain they would start again from zero. It felt like an eternity until my ordeal ended. I felt my life was ending I was in so much pain. Tamarra, 25, English literature graduate: My father works for Iraqi intelligence and the last two years have been spent in full-on psychological war with IS. When we didn't leave Mosul, we started hiding within the city and my father was arrested on nine separate occasions. The first time they took him away for three days, which felt like three years. He was told by a judge that he was going to be put before a "blood judge" [an IS executioner], but they subjected him to immense torture and then released him. We were so happy when he was released. All was over, my dad was standing amongst us again. But they [IS militants] were back within days, and the disappointment returned as we lived another three nights of horror. At that time, we were all showing signs of depression. Our house was looted by IS and then it was bombed by international coalition air strikes. We had to move to the top floor of my uncle's neighbouring house. A few days later the door bell rang again, and when my young cousin Ahmed went to open the door, IS fighters grabbed him and asked him about my father's whereabouts. Ahmed told them he wasn't there, but they beat him up and climbed up the stairs to where we were. They threw my dad on the ground. The female religious police were cursing at us, even at my poor old grandmother in her wheelchair. One of the women in the religious police was being really violent to my grandmother. She strip-searched her and left her without clothes. They then took my father away. It has been months since I laid eyes on him. I have cried till my tears ran dry. The day that my father was longing for has happened. We were liberated, but he wasn't there to witness it. Ahmad, 28, Al-Arabi neighbourhood: I stopped going out. I was sick of seeing people punished all the time by IS. They made a point of rallying everyone whenever someone was punished, beaten or even beheaded. People were accused of all sorts of crimes - adultery, conspiring with security forces and other excuses they used to subdue people. I was already out of work by that point so I decided to stay at home. But only two days later the power went off and the neighbourhood back-up generator failed to kick in. I figured the guy in charge had forgotten to switch it on, so I decided to go and check it out. As I was leaving, my eight-year-old nephew decided to come along. He was also stuck at home because his school was closed. We didn't want him learning in the IS-controlled schools. As we approached the generator, I noticed many people had gathered around it, but I quickly spotted the IS fighters there too. They had forced the generator owner to shut it off, just so that people would come out and gather around and watch their heinous crimes. I regretted coming out that day and I blame myself for allowing my nephew to be exposed to the awful scenes that I know he will never forget. IS imposed strict controls over economic activity during their three-year rule. One grocery shop owner describes how he had to cover up faces and flags on products while the militants were in charge. Residents say images on baby milk and nappies also had to be hidden. Mosul SYRIA IRAQ Grocery shop restocks Qadisiya Grocery shop restocks Qadisiya Mosul SYRIA IRAQ Baghdad IS Kurdish forces Mosul Mosul SYRIA   Grocery shop restocks Qadisiya IRAQ Baghdad IS Kurdish forces Mosul Unnamed female resident: Trade was very difficult under their rule, as IS increasingly gave traders a hard time and set impossible rules for them to follow. IS enforcers would set the type of goods traders were allowed to sell. The first thing they did was to ban the import of beef and chicken and forced everyone to rely on local produce. They also forbid men from trading in women's cosmetics and accessories. Those caught breaking that rule were flogged and fined. They also ensured that any wrappers that featured a man or a woman's face were covered. It was the same with pictures showing women's hair or babies. Even baby milk and nappies had to be covered up because of that. When news of the "battle of liberation" was announced, IS fighters were confused, and they intensified their harassment of people by raising prices and issuing tough rules. They even banned satellite dishes and started publishing their own audiovisual publications through their own channels. They were spreading rumours about their victories and their so called "conquest" of liberated cities. They were going door-to-door searching for mobile phones and having one was punishable by death. Churches and mosques have been destroyed by IS, as well as people's homes. Residents have spoken about how empty houses were looted - especially those belonging to Christians. Mosul SYRIA IRAQ Church of Mary destroyed Nabi Yunus mosque attacked Church of Mary destroyed Nabi Yunus mosque attacked Mosul SYRIA IRAQ Baghdad IS Kurdish forces Mosul Church of Mary destroyed Mosul SYRIA IRAQ Nabi Yunus mosque attacked Baghdad IS Kurdish forces Mosul Hamza, 32, Al-Jazaera street: After IS entered the city, they raided churches and some mosques and looted whatever they found in them. They used the furniture from some of the churches at some of their so-called media points, where they disseminated their propaganda. IS militants were looking all across town for empty houses to loot and where they could confiscate belongings, especially the houses of Christians who had fled the city. They also looted the houses of Muslims who had fled calling them apostates and seized their property. People tried to protect these houses by lodging members of their own family in them and pretending the houses were still occupied. One of my neighbours was given the key to his Christian friend's house before he fled town. One day, armed men showed up to confiscate the house, so my neighbour told them that this house is under his protection and safekeeping, and that if they [IS] respected the Prophet, they should respect the concept of protection. They let him be that day, but they kept coming back. Once they took him away to be flogged but he never yielded. He eventually convinced them he had bought the house for his son, and he kept it until the liberation, when he handed the key back to his friend who came to check on his house.

The crash happened just before 10:00 BST close to junction 13 for Stroud. A spokesperson for Action for Children, which chartered the coach, said 25 children aged between 11 months and eight years had been on board. Christopher Nice from the CPT, which represents operators of UK buses, said: "All the passengers were discharged last night and the coach company was able to transfer them back to West Bromwich. "The only person who remains in hospital is the driver who has sustained some shoulder and rib injuries, although they are not believed to be too serious." Mr Nice said the vehicle would be checked by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency "to see if there were any problems". He added the coach driver was due to be interviewed to try to find out what led to it overturning and ending up in a ditch. The coach, carrying 53 people, had been taking a group of youngsters from a children's centre in Sandwell on a trip to the beach in Weston-super-Mare. It was operated by Stourbridge-based Prospect Coaches. Five adults and one child were injured. The southbound carriageway of the motorway was closed for several hours after the crash. Barinder Kaur, who was on board with her two children, said people "started screaming" before the coach left the road. "The coach started to shake then it just turned over. My eyes were closed. I hit something and when I opened my eyes there was broken glass and blood everywhere." A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said an investigation was continuing. They brave the elements 24 hours a day to protect the memorial from nationalists who have vandalised it, denouncing the opposition politician as a traitor. The pictures and candles have also been swept away by city cleaners in the dead of night after police detained those standing guard. "They're still battling Nemtsov after his death," Nadir said this week, brushing snow from bunches of flowers with a paint brush. "But it's no use," the activist believes. "People just bring more flowers, more photos and more icons." Boris Nemtsov was shot in the back as he walked home late at night last 27 February in a killing that shocked Russia. His political allies believe it was meant to terrify them into silence. A former deputy prime minister once mooted as a successor to President Yeltsin, Mr Nemtsov was a reformer and a democrat who became fiercely critical of Vladimir Putin. On what was to be his last night alive he had been at the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, calling on listeners to join a protest rally that weekend. In typically feisty form, he accused Russia's president of launching an illegal war with Ukraine, prompting Western sanctions and an economic crisis. Certain that his murder was politically motivated, Boris Nemtsov's family and friends argue the official investigation does not dig deep enough. Five men from Chechnya were captured quickly and face trial later this year as the suspected contract killers. "But what about those who organised the murder and promised the money?" the lawyer for Boris Nemtsov's family, Vadim Prokhorov, wants to know. The accused have ties to people in the inner circle of Chechnya's strongman leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the lawyer wants them questioned. Instead, investigators have identified the driver of an interior ministry battalion deputy commander as the supposed mastermind of the murder - but he has vanished without trace. His supposed motive and access to funds are unclear. "It means real steps to the inner circle of Ramzan Kadyrov were blocked," Mr Prokhorov argues, fearing a cover-up. The Chechen leader himself has denied any link to the killing, suggesting Mr Nemtsov's allies look closer to home. Meanwhile, the self-declared "loyal foot soldier" of President Putin has taken to social media to denounce Kremlin critics as jackals and traitors. In January, Mr Kadyrov posted a video of one of Boris Nemtsov's closest allies in the sights of a gun. The target, Mikhail Kasyanov, took it as a direct death threat. Not long after, a man slammed a cake into his face in a restaurant yelling that he was the "shame of Russia". "There are a lot of changes [since Nemtsov died]. But all to the worse. The threats are growing," Mr Kasyanov told the BBC, linking the rising tensions to the approach of parliamentary elections in autumn. "The problems in the economy help people see Russia is heading in the wrong direction. "That's why the authorities are so nervous and angry, and encourage these hooligans to prevent our activity," he argues. Earlier this month, Mikhail Kasyanov was forced to break off a campaigning trip to Nizhny Novgorod after he says his colleagues were attacked and threatened. The next day, nationalist groups rallied outside the hotel where he was due to appear. "Go to the USA or Brussels. That's where they pay you!" a bearded speaker urged Mr Kasyanov, addressing the small, flag-wielding crowd. Other slogans called for ideological enemies to be purged and the crowd chanted 1-9-3-7, the year that Stalin's Great Terror reached its height. "We are sure the West wants a revolution here but we won't let it happen," one speaker insisted. "Our country backs Vladimir Putin!" "Of course I'm worried," Mikhail Kasyanov admitted, after his early return to Moscow. "People don't feel secure at all." Whoever pulled the trigger, or paid for his murder, Boris Nemtsov's supporters also blame the climate of hate they say has built up here. They date its roots to Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and the patriotic fervour whipped up in its wake. Critics of that policy were viewed as traitors. Zhanna Nemtsova remembers warning her father that it was a dangerous moment. "I told him we probably should leave and he said we should wait. He was very optimistic," the politician's daughter recalls. "He told me one day he could be in prison, he was ready for that. But he wasn't ready for death at all," she added. Three months after her father's murder, Zhanna left Russia for her own safety. She has now begun her own battle from abroad, for justice. "I think I owe it to my father, I think it's my mission to have this investigation and I think it's important for Russia," Zhanna told the BBC. "Because if there is no resistance, then these awful things will go on." Yevi Ilangakoon - originally from Sri Lanka but living in Whitstable - was diagnosed with myelofibrosis in 2009. The condition causes scar tissue to develop in the bone marrow, affecting its ability to make healthy blood. Mr Ilangakoon's "only hope" is a bone marrow transplant but despite searching worldwide registers, his medical team have been unable to find a 100% match. He said: "I can manage to go on like this for a few more years just on medication but with a stem cell transplant there is a 55% chance that within three to five years I would be cured 100%." The rare condition - which can progress into leukaemia - only affects about 1 in every 100,000 people. The family's plight has attracted the attention of Sri Lankan cricketer Mahela Jayawardena, who helped to raise awareness on social media - but they have still had no luck. Mr Ilangakoon's son, Yovaan, said this was mainly due to the South Asian community being under-represented on bone marrow registers. He added: "From the entire register only 4% are from a South Asian background and only 3% are from an Afro-Caribbean background. "It doesn't mean to say that any other background can't be a match for my dad or anybody else but the tissue type is more likely to be from a South Asian background." Mr Ilangakoon said a recent bone marrow biopsy showed his condition had progressed and was "very aggressive". His wife Andrea added: "He is losing weight quite rapidly at the moment which means now it is imperative he finds a donor." Sarah Rogers of the Anthony Nolan charity added: "At the moment we find a perfect match for about 60% of Northern European patients who need a transplant, but that drops to around 20% for any patient of ethnic minority." With the situation becoming increasingly desperate, Yovaan Ilangakoon is appealing for people to sign up as donors online. He said: "Donating your stem cells is as simple as donating blood." The ozone hole that appears annually over Antarctica has also stopped growing bigger every year. The report says it will take a decade before the hole starts to shrink. Scientists say the recovery is entirely due to political determination to phase out the man-made CFC gases destroying ozone. The study was published by researchers from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). "International action on the ozone layer is a major environmental success story... This should encourage us to display the same level of urgency and unity to tackle the even greater challenge of tackling climate change," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. Dr Ken Jucks from the US space agency Nasa told BBC News that humans "have started to do the right thing in order to convert the atmosphere back towards what it was before the industrial revolution started". Scientists cannot be absolutely certain yet that the hole will heal itself. Prof David Vaughan from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) said that test results from his organisation would throw extra light on the WMO's findings. "We have to be a bit cautious, but this does look on the face of it like some very good news," he told BBC News. "Our own data from the Antarctic will take a few weeks to process but we hope to confirm the findings. If it's accurate, it underlines the potential power of international agreement." The good news on ozone comes in the wake of bad news on the gases fuelling climate change. The WMO said this week that atmospheric greenhouse gases had reached a record high. Tackling a gas like carbon dioxide (CO2) which is central to so many facets of human life is of a completely different order to reducing a few chemicals for which substitutes can be found. The 1987 Montreal Protocol that banned or phased out ozone-eating depleting chemicals, including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) once widely used in refrigerators and spray cans, would prevent two million cases of skin cancer annually by 2030, according to UNEP. It would also help prevent damage to wildlife, agriculture, peoples' eyes and immune systems, the agency added. The WMO say ozone should recover towards its 1980 level by mid-century, or slightly later for Antarctica, where it gets dangerously thin every year between mid-August and November or December. It says progress could be improved by as much as 11 years if existing stocks of ozone-depleting substances - many of them stored up in old fridges and fire-extinguishers - were destroyed. Cpl Joshua Hoole, 26, of Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie, died on 19 July while training for the Platoon Sergeants' Battle Course at an infantry training centre. Dyfed-Powys Police investigated the death of Cpl Hoole, who collapsed after finishing an eight-mile (13km) course. He was a member of the Rifles regiment at ITC Catterick. His grandfather, John Craig, told BBC Wales the family had been informed by officers of the conclusion it was natural causes. He died on what was the hottest day of the year so far, when temperatures in the Brecon area peaked at just above 30C (86F). Shortly after he died, Morag Craig, his aunt, described him as "absolutely fantastic" and with a "heart of gold". Cpl Hoole, who was due to get married and be the best man at his brother's wedding, was described by his grandfather, John Craig, as a "beautiful grandson" and a "super fit boy". Maj Dean Murch, officer commanding The Rifles, 1st infantry training battalion, said at the time his colleagues were "utterly devastated", and his family had "lost a son, a brother, a fiancé and a very special friend". Police have referred the matter to the Powys coroner. Researchers have found evidence for a landmass that would have existed between 2,000 and 85 million years ago. The strip of land, which scientists have called Mauritia, eventually fragmented and vanished beneath the waves as the modern world started to take shape. The study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Supercontinent Until about 750 million years ago, the Earth's landmass was gathered into a vast single continent called Rodinia. And although they are now separated by thousands of kilometres of ocean, India was once located next to Madagascar. Now researchers believe they have found evidence of a sliver of continent - known as a microcontinent - that was once tucked between the two. The team came to this conclusion after studying grains of sand from the beaches of Mauritius. While the grains dated back to a volcanic eruption that happened about nine million years ago, they contained minerals that were much older. Professor Trond Torsvik, from the University of Oslo, Norway, said: "We found zircons that we extracted from the beach sands, and these are something you typically find in a continental crust. They are very old in age." The zircon dated to between 1,970 and 600 million years ago, and the team concluded that they were remnants of ancient land that had been dragged up to the surface of the island during a volcanic eruption. Prof Torsvik said that he believed pieces of Mauritia could be found about 10km down beneath Mauritius and under a swathe of the Indian Ocean. It would have spanned millions years of history, from the Precambrian Era when land was barren and devoid of life to the age when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. But about 85m years ago, as India started to drift away from Madagascar towards its current location, the microcontinent would have broken up, eventually disappearing beneath the waves. However, a small part could have survived. "At the moment the Seychelles is a piece of granite, or continental crust, which is sitting practically in the middle of the Indian Ocean," explained Prof Torsvik. "But once upon a time, it was sitting north of Madagascar. And what we are saying is that maybe this was much bigger, and there are many of these continental fragments that are spread around in the ocean." Further research is needed to fully investigate what remains of this lost region. Prof Torsvik explained: "We need seismic data which can image the structure... this would be the ultimate proof. Or you can drill deep, but that would cost a lot of money." Assembly election campaigning has been suspended for the crisis recall after Tata Steel UK went up for sale. About 6,000 Welsh jobs are under threat, including more than 4,000 in Port Talbot. The assembly meeting comes after tycoon Sanjeev Gupta was linked to a potential purchase of the plant. Opening the assembly session on Monday, Mr Jones said: "I have one simple message for the people of Wales and the UK government - these plants cannot close." The first minister said it emerged at the weekend that it was not the European Union holding the UK back, "but the other way around". Mr Jones said he would support UK government ownership if necessary while a buyer was being found. AMs banged their desks in support when he ended his statement by saying he wanted the assembly to tell steelworkers: "We stand beside you, shoulder to shoulder." Responding for the Welsh Conservatives, leader Andrew RT Davies said it was "vital" that domestic steelmaking capacity was kept, while acknowledging "international whirlwinds" surrounding the industry. He added that the proposed M4 relief road in south Wales "could contribute demand for Welsh steel". Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said there were "serious questions for the Welsh Government to answer", accusing ministers of being slow to act. She said nothing should be off the table, including temporary nationalisation, a joint venture or a permanent public stake. Mr Jones responded by saying a joint venture should be considered but it would need UK government involvement. He added that Tata had at no time told the Welsh Government it would close its plants. During the session the first minister confirmed a package of support worth more than £60m that had been available for Tata "remains on the table". It was made up of a commercial loan plus cash for environmental improvements and for skills and training. Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams spoke of a need "to see what steps we can take to make the plants as attractive" for a buyer as possible. The industry was "too good to let fail", she added. The meeting was being held in the old assembly chamber in the Ty Hywel building in Cardiff Bay, as the current Senedd chamber is being refurbished. Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Welsh Assembly buildings in Cardiff Bay ahead of the meeting. Steelworker and Unite union rep Matthew Pearcy said the recalling of the assembly was a "really positive sign" which gave a "glimmer of hope". But he added: "I think the Welsh Assembly are limited on what they can achieve. "It's really down to the UK government to stand up and show us that they mean the words that they have said." Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said the UK government "stands ready and waiting to support any potential investor" with the cost of taking on the Port Talbot works, such as pensions and power bills. Following a steel industry taskforce meeting in Cardiff Bay on Monday, he said: "There are no guarantees on anything in relation to this. We will do whatever we can." Mr Cairns said he could not disclose how much public money could be involved in the middle of commercially confidential negotiations, but confirmed he had spoken to Mr Gupta about a possible takeover. The Welsh Government's Economy Minister Edwina Hart said she wanted to avoid "fragmenting" the steel industry, with Tata's British assets being "cherry picked". UKIP Wales leader Nathan Gill called for the UK government to set up an emergency task force to cut energy costs for industry. But he claimed European Union rules restricted the scope of UK and Welsh ministers to help the steel industry, and accused the first minister of "political grandstanding". "It's all very well Carwyn Jones calling an emergency meeting of the assembly and caterwauling about public ownership, but simply passing the plant into public ownership does not solve any of the problems," he said. "All it does is instead pass the culpability of the £1m loss per week onto the taxpayer, from Tata Steel." Tata has other Welsh plants at Trostre, Shotton, Llanwern and Newport, while UK plants in Rotherham, Scunthorpe and Corby are also affected. Trade unions representing Tata Steel workers across the UK have called on the prime minister to take personal charge of the rescue talks. Union officials from the threatened plants meeting in London accused Business Secretary Sajid Javid of "taking his eye off the ball", and called on David Cameron "to get a grip" of the negotiations. A photo has emerged apparently showing a hole has been cut into the wall of the Grade II* listed building, on which the Spy Booth artwork was painted. On Thursday it was confirmed it was being removed, but the council warned that planning permission may be needed. The work, depicting men "snooping" on a telephone box, appeared in April. Councillor Colin Hay, of Cheltenham Borough Council, said Q Scaffolding had been warned that listed building consent was required if work was being done to the fabric of the building on the corner of Fairview Road and Hewlett Road. He said: "If they breach that they're in trouble. It's quite a serious offence. If they're making a hole then they're removing the fabric of the building. "If you're taking a large part of the wall out that would be a serious breach of listed building consent. It's a criminal offence. "They can be given a stop notice if they're carrying out some work, and then they really do have to stop." On Thursday John Joyce, from Q, confirmed that the property's owner had contacted street art collector Sky Grimes to sell the piece, a week before Banksy confirmed that he had painted it. He said the artwork was due to be removed over the weekend, ahead of it going on show at a London gallery for a month on 4 July. According to English Heritage the maximum penalty for carrying out work to a listed building without listed building consent is "two years' imprisonment or an unlimited fine". The organisation's website states: "In determining the fine a judge must have regard to any financial benefit which has accrued or appears likely to accrue to the wrongdoer so as to deny them any benefits." However, campaigners trying to stop the Banksy being removed say that in fact the wall belongs to the county council. Retired chartered surveyor Phil Jones said the mural was on a wall which was formerly part of a house which was bought by the county council to be demolished for road improvements in the 1960s. He said: "64 Hewlett Road was acquired by the county council in about 1962 for a road improvement. It was terraced with 159 Fairview Road which means the wall in between is a party wall. Logically 159 owns to the middle of the wall and 64 owns the [external] side of it, to the middle." In response, a Gloucestershire County Council spokesperson said the council "has no claim to the wall". At the beginning of June, Banksy admitted painting the artwork, which is situated three miles from the government communications headquarters, GCHQ.

Police said four flag poles were damaged during the incident in the Diamond area. It was reported shortly after 03:00 BST on Sunday. The Orange Order has described the theft as "a deplorable act". Adam Spiers, director of Michael Spiers jewellers in Taunton said Timpson's staff had been "fantastic". The men got away with five watches and drove off. But police chased the car, which eventually crashed about 70 miles away near junction 15 on the M4. Five men have been arrested on suspicion of robbery. Two other people were treated for minor injuries in the crash, which involved four vehicles, including a police car. The jewellers was attacked on Wednesday morning by men who pulled up outside in a car and tried to smash their way in using sledgehammers. Mr Spiers told BBC Points West: "Our neighbours next door, Timpsons, unbelievably all rushed in, frightened them all, they all ran off. They are fantastic, all credit to them." Martin Hill, from Timpson, told the programme they had "just kind of heard the noise, rushed in, saw the women in distress. Just acted.. it was all good." The car is thought to have headed up the M5 and was chased by police as it got on the M4 heading east, eventually crashing near junction 15 at around 1130 GMT. The collision closed two lanes of the M4 near junction 15. The stand-off at HMP Highpoint on 12 May came the day after a second hostage incident at the same prison and an inmate attack with a bladed toilet brush in Staffordshire. The first - which took place on 11 May - involved a prisoner taken hostage inside a cell. Both episodes, which ended without injury, are now under investigation. Live: Leaked prison report revealed hostage situation The three incidents were revealed in an internal prison report seen by the BBC. On 12 May, five staff members were taken hostage in an office by a prisoner armed with a weapon. Three officers were quickly released. The inmate demanded a transfer, to be re-categorised and taken off the prison wing. Prison Service Gold Command, the national group convened during serious incidents and disturbances, was deployed and the prisoner surrendered. The incident was also reported to police. The previous day, staff had found four prisoners barricaded in a cell, and when they were able to see in, they saw one was tied up with a sheet over his head. The prisoners surrendered five hours later. Also on 11 May, a prisoner used a toilet brush studded with razor blades to slash and stab another inmate at HMP and YOI Swinfen Hall, Staffordshire. The attack was filmed on a mobile phone smuggled in, the prison service said. The victim suffered deep gashes to his head, face and ear before staff intervened and he was taken to Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham. Prisons Minister Andrew Selous said: "Our prison system needs reform, which is why we are giving governors greater freedoms to innovate to find better ways of rehabilitating offenders. "We have to ensure prisoners can be rehabilitated so they are no longer a danger to others." RichardRocks is inspired by both Shakespeare's Richard III and Al Pacino's 1996 film Looking for Richard, according to its producers. Swedish musical theatre star Fred Johanson will play Richard III, with the rest of the roles cast in London. A service to mark the reburial of King Richard III took place at Leicester Cathedral last week. "Don't expect this Richard to be a hunchback with a bad haircut," said writer Maria Robsahm. "Our Richard is a manipulative Machiavellian prince - a modern psychopath. "Externally he is charismatic, handsome and witty. It's inside - morally and psychologically - that he's distorted. "He knows how to get what he wants, whatever the cost," Robsahm continued. "He sees the people around him either as a means to an end or as obstacles to be removed." RichardRocks is scheduled to run from 3 October to 7 November at the People's Palace, an art deco theatre in London's East End. It will feature 35 original songs by Peter and Maria Robsahm and will be directed by Staffan Aspegren. "RichardRocks is something out of the ordinary - both artistically and technologically," said Peter Robsahm. "The show's music combines heavy rock with beautiful harmonies of a more classical cut." Richard III, the last English king to die in battle, was killed at Bosworth Field in 1485, bringing an end to the Wars of the Roses. His remains were found under a car park in Leicester in 2012. An average 1.9m viewers watched Sunday night's episode of the motoring show - 8.6% of the available audience. ITV attracted the biggest audience of the night, as an average 6.6 million viewers tuned in to see France's 5-2 win over Iceland in Euro 2016. BBC One's Antiques Roadshow, which also overlapped with Top Gear, was watched by an average of 3.9 million. The overnight figures measure how many viewers tuned in to the live broadcast - and do not take into account those who have watched the show on catch-up services such as iPlayer. Audience data suggests viewers tend to watch live events such as sports matches as they are being broadcast, whereas entertainment programmes can often pick up extra viewers via on-demand services. Top Gear: Do overnight TV ratings matter? Sunday evening's Top Gear was about 800,000 down on last week's average of 2.7m - and just over half the number that watched the series launch. The episode received lukewarm reviews, but some critics said the show had improved over the course of the series. Digital Spy said: "Instead of an episode which was about 10% enjoyable like the premiere, they're now up to about 60%." "When the right people - Matt LeBlanc, Rory Reid, Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz - are front and centre, there are moments where Top Gear feels like it has found its feet." The new series was the first since the departure of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. The trio exited the programme after Jeremy Clarkson punched a producer. Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc were later signed up to front the show. Writing in The Telegraph, Amy Blumson said: "The presenting team need time to bond, and those new to the studio were just warming up as the series came to a close." "The new Top Gear series has shown glimmers of promise, but like the nippy Porsche 911 R in the final episode, they often disappeared over the horizon as soon as Chris Evans starts shouting." The Guardian's Stuart Heritage said: "Despite the personnel changes, Top Gear remains a beautiful television programme to look at." But, he suggested, some elements of the show such as The Stig and the celebrity interviews should be abandoned. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The proposed 50m (164ft) deep pool at the University of Essex would be far deeper than NASA's own 12m (40ft) deep training pool in Houston. If it goes ahead, the project is expected to cost £40m. The pool would simulate the microgravity of outer space and deep sea environments. The university's development partner Blue Abyss said the pool could be used for human spaceflight research programmes, environmental monitoring, training in advanced commercial diving techniques, marine and human physiology research and aerospace development. The world's current deepest pool is the Y-40 diving pool in Montegrotto Terme, Italy, which is 42m (137ft) deep. John Vickers, managing director of Blue Abyss, said: "All the ingredients are here; the location near to Stansted Airport and the North Sea offshore industry via Harwich; a superb campus site and an excellent research base within the University's academic departments." University of Essex registrar Bryn Morris said the pool idea, on the Knowledge Gateway research and business park, fitted in "very well" with the university's "strengths". An international commission is looking to safeguard a massive section of the Ross Sea, home to penguins, petrels and killer whales. The proposed marine protected area (MPA) would ban fishing and drilling in a region dubbed "the last ocean". Experts say it could set a precedent for other areas of the high seas. Consisting of 24 countries plus the European Union, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) was established in 1980 with a mission to protect the common resources of the Southern Ocean. While Antarctica itself is protected by the Madrid Protocol which declares the region a "natural reserve, devoted to peace and science", the surrounding waters have increasingly become the focus for commercial fishing fleets, attracted by vast quantities of krill and toothfish. One of the first attempts to limit these activities came from the UK which proposed the creation of the South Orkney Marine Protected Area at CCAMLR in 2009. While this was successful in limiting fishing in an area of some 94,000 sq km around the South Orkneys, attempts since then to give protection to much larger bodies of water around Antarctica have become bogged down in political disputes. At the end of negotiations last year, Russia was seen as the one country holding out against a consensus on the Ross Sea. Other proposal for MPAs in East Antarctica and the Weddell Sea are also on the table this year but there is a growing belief that Russia will support the Ross Sea option this time round. President Putin has designated 2017 as the Year of Ecology and the country has recently expanded an MPA around Franz Josef Land in the Arctic. "People have come into it feeling very positive that this could be the year," said Cassandra Brooks, a phd student at Stanford University who has recently published a study on the workings of CCAMLR. "Despite the US and Russian tensions in other parts of the world, historically countries have worked wonders in the Antarctic and I hope this will be a case where we see science and diplomacy working." While the Ross Sea, its shelf and slope only comprise 2% of the Southern Ocean they are home to 38% of the world's Adelie penguins, 30% of the world's Antarctic petrels and around 6% of the world's population of Antarctic minke whales. The region is important to the rest of the planet as the upwelling of nutrients from the deep waters encounter currents which carry them around the world. Krill are a staple food for species including whales and seals, and their oil is critical for salmon farming. However there are concerns that overfishing and climate change are having significant impacts on their numbers. The current proposal, introduced by New Zealand and the US, would see a general protection "no-take" zone where nothing could be removed including marine life and minerals. There would also be special zones where fishing from krill and toothfish would be allowed for research purposes. "Right now, 24 countries and the EU are negotiating what could be the first-ever large-scale marine sanctuary in international waters," said Mike Walker, from the Antarctic Ocean Alliance, a coalition of environmental campaigners. "An agreement would be an historic move to protect the ocean," he said. One of the key questions in the negotiations is how long the MPA should last. China is on the record as stating it believes that 20 years is long enough. Many conservationists say this is far too short, given the lifespan of creatures that life in the Ross Sea, such as whales. "We'll see what it is," said Cassandra Brooks. "It will have value for the times it's in place but can it meet its objectives in such a short duration? That's something that a lot of people are worried about." One of the other big concerns that could halt the Ross Sea proposal is the fact that it might set a precedent for other high seas negotiations around the world, such as in the Arctic and in attempts by the UN to develop a new marine biodiversity treaty. "For some states it comes down to economics, for others it is about setting a precedent," said Cassandra Brooks. "For others it might be cultural, a lot of people might say that MPAs are a very western thing so there could be some breakdown there. "I am optimistic, sometimes it just takes time and the political window of opportunity - are we in that? It remains to be seen." Follow Matt on Twitter @mattmcgrathBBC and on Facebook. Jeremy Hunt told the Daily Mail said he wanted to see a clampdown on such practices and would seek to introduce wording into agreements making it clear people could still whistle-blow. But fellow Tory MP Stephen Barclay has claimed the move may not go far enough in dealing with a lack of transparency. The use of the clauses in the NHS is thought to have been widespread. In the last five years, more than 400 compromise agreements outlining special severance payments for departing NHS staff have been approved by the Department of Health. But the department has said it does not know the extent to which payments were tied to clauses stopping recipients speaking out about any problems of patient safety or care. Mr Hunt told the Mail a "culture of openness and transparency" was at the heart of trying to drive up NHS standards. He said: "There has been a culture where people felt if you speak up about problems in the NHS you didn't love the NHS. Actually it's exactly the opposite. 'We are now saying we won't approve any [compromise agreements] with a confidentiality clause that prevents people speaking out about patient safety or patient care. "We will make sure there is a specific clause in them saying that nothing in them can prevent people speaking out." By Nick TriggleHealth correspondent The health secretary's stance sounds good in theory, but the practice of implementing it could prove difficult. Gagging is a complex subject. Severance agreements are just as common in the NHS as any other industry. When someone leaves employment over a dispute, it is understandable that both sides may wish to keep the reasons confidential. Hence lawyers are brought in to draw up a contract. But it is already against the law to stop whistle-blowing over a safety issue. This was made clear by the 1998 Public Interest Disclosure Act. But something seems to have been going wrong within the health service - as the recent controversy has shown. Gagging clauses may have been inserted in some contracts, or staff may have felt intimidated and unable to speak out because of the process they have been through. Either way Jeremy Hunt wants to see this tackled. But the problem is that while the government does sign off some agreements, it doesn't vet them all. Mr Barclay, a member of the Commons public accounts committee, has sought to uncover how much public money has been spent on compromise agreements. While welcoming the announcement, he told the BBC that other severance payments to staff made through a different process, known as judicial mediation, may not be covered by the new rules. This process does not involve the Treasury or the Department of Health, Mr Barclay said. He added: "The gagging clauses had a chilling effect. In essence it put the legal risk on the whistleblower to prove they were complying with the public interest disclosure act. That's really what led a lot of people to keep quiet. "It is unclear whether payments made through judicial mediation will be covered by the announcement today. "Parliament still doesn't know how much has been paid through judicial mediation and whether any changes will be made in terms of gagging clauses in those arrangements." The move by Mr Hunt follows the scandal surrounding Stafford Hospital, where hundreds of patients are believed to have died after receiving poor care. "Mid Staffs happened because there was a culture of covering up problems," Mr Hunt said. "We need to encourage front-line NHS employees who see problems to come forward, in the first instance to tell their own institution about them, but then having the ability to go beyond that if they don't think anything is being done about their concerns." In the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal, the government has announced the creation of a new post of chief inspector of hospitals from autumn this year. Mr Hunt said: "The chief inspector will examine lots of different areas, but one third of the entire score for a hospital will be based on patient experience - the extent to which patients would recommend your hospital to friends and family, the extent to which your complaints procedure actually listens to people. "In too many places hospitals think that patient care is something you do when you have done everything else." Fourteen trusts in England are currently being investigated for high death rates. Controversy over gagging clauses has particularly focused on one of them, United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust (ULHT), after its former chief executive, Gary Walker, broke a gag to speak about his 2010 dismissal and concerns over care. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Walker - whose case was dealt with through judicial mediation - complained about "a culture of fear, a culture of oppression" within the NHS. "These are big problems," he said. "And if you consider that the people that have been running the NHS have created that culture of fear, they need either to be held to account or new people need to be brought in to change that culture." Kelly Clarke, 45, was arrested after police seized a large quantity of diazepam tablets in north Belfast. Three men were also arrested after searches on Thursday at locations in the city and Stoke-On-Trent in England. Ms Clarke, of Ardoyne Road in Belfast, was charged with conspiracy to supply class C drugs. She appeared before the city's Magistrates Court today also facing a charge of being concerned in the supply of diazepam between 1 August last year and 16 April this year. Detectives from the PSNI's Organised Crime Branch carried out the searches with assistance from Staffordshire Police. A detective opposed bail on the grounds that there was a risk the accused would re-offended. But a defence barrister argued that his client was a carer for two children and had no previous drugs convictions. He said it would be "intolerable" for her to be kept in custody for months while phone analysis is carried out as part of the investigation. The judge banned Ms Clarke from using mobile phones or contacting any of the co-accused. She is due back in court next month. Meanwhile, police are continuing to question other individuals arrested in the operation. One of them, a 22-year-old man, was returned to Northern Ireland from England, where a large quantity of cash and other items were seized. St Mirren's game against Lowland League side Spartans was called off "due to a problem with the under soil heating". Beith Juniors' Bellsdale Park pitch was also deemed unplayable for their match at home to Greenock Morton. Albion Rovers v Queen of the South and Clyde v Arbroath also fell foul of the weather after pitch inspections held on Friday afternoon. Stirling Albion v Wick Academy was called off late on Friday, with East Fife v Edinburgh City, Stranraer v East Kilbride, Brechin City v Ayr United and Formartine United v Annan Athletic all postponed after pitch inspections on Saturday morning. Queens' trip to Coatbridge has been rescheduled for Tuesday 29 November, while Arbroath's match in Cumbernauld will be played on Tuesday 6 December, both with a 19:45 GMT kick-off. West of Scotland Superleague side Beith will now play host to their tie on Saturday 3 December with a 13:30 kick-off. It means that Morton's Championship game away to Raith Rovers has been postponed, with no date for the rearranged league match having been announced. Morton said in a website statement: "The majority of the Bellsdale Park playing surface has been frozen since Wednesday despite the junior outfit putting covers down." St Mirren and Spartans will attempt to play their game on Tuesday, with a 20:00 kick-off. The Paisley club said in a website statement: "We are investigating the cause of the problem and will meet with our insurers next week to see if the repairs are covered under our policy of insurance." Rugby Park, Kilmarnock, will host the draw for the fourth round of the cup on Monday at 18:35. The Premiership club have been chosen to mark the 20th anniversary of the Ayrshire club winning the 1996-1997 Scottish Cup. They defeated Falkirk 1-0 in front of more than 48,000 spectators at Ibrox Stadium to end a 68-year wait to lift the famous trophy for a third time. Martins has scored 43 goals in 84 appearances for Seattle Sounders since joining the MLS side in March 2013. His form in the US earned him a recall to the Super Eagles squad after more than two years' absence. He has also attracted admirers in England, with Aston Villa making an approach for the player, according to Martins. The striker says he rejected the approach from the Premier League's bottom side. Bournemouth, former club Newcastle, and Sunderland are all also reportedly interested in him. "I love the English Premier League and you never know what can happen in football," Martins told BBC Sport. "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but I will never say never when it comes to going back to England. "When I left Newcastle, I never forgot all about England and when the chance to return with Birmingham City on loan came, I took it." Martins burst into the international limelight at Italian side Inter Milan before switching to Newcastle in August 2006. He scored 35 goals in his three seasons with the Magpies. The striker, who has also had spells in Germany, Russia and Spain, will be remembered for scoring Birmingham City's winner in their 2-1 Carling Cup final victory over Arsenal in 2011. - the club's first silverware since 1963. "People still talk about it everywhere I go," he said. "Birmingham City fans truly appreciate my contribution there. "I've won trophies elsewhere but that one was special to the club. You get the same feeling at every football club but in England. Football is very powerful. "I enjoyed some amazing times in England and I will never close the door on a possible return." Seattle Sounders' pre-season begins on 22 January. The English Premier League's January transfer window, meanwhile, closes on 1 February. Martins has scored 18 goals in 41 international appearances for three-time African Champions Nigeria and was voted Africa's most promising talent in 2003 and 2004. Patients will be transferred to Lisnaskea. Local politicians say this will mean longer journeys and waiting times for appointments. Temporary cover was provided when the former GP retired in June 2016. However, despite the post being widely advertised within the UK and Republic of Ireland no one applied to take on the contract. At the time, the Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) advised that "patients should not be unduly concerned as final arrangements are still being confirmed" and said "quality medical services will be maintained in Roslea." But in an update this week the HSCB confirmed that the surgery would close and patients transferred to the Maple Healthcare practice in Lisnaskea . However, the board has plans for a new Health and Care Centre in Lisnaskea. Sinn Féin councillor Thomas O'Reilly said patients had been "seriously misled" when they were told last year that the surgery in Roslea would be retained. He described the situation as "a disaster" for people in rural areas who have no access to public transport. "People at the extremity of the Roslea practice say it will be a 35-mile round trip for them to visit their doctor now in Lisnaskea," he said. He claimed the practice in Lisnaskea was "already oversubscribed" with people having to wait "maybe a couple of weeks for appointments". He told BBC News NI that the GP crisis in Fermanagh has been "flagged up and has been talked about for years" and said more needs to be done to attract doctors. Mr O'Reilly believes the decision to close rural surgeries will place additional pressures on out-of-hours GP services and A&E and "the cost has got to outweigh in the long term the investment that should be put in to retaining the GP services in local areas". The disappointing fourth round left the Cavan woman on three under, which meant she missed out to Sophie Lamb as the best amateur at the tournament. English golfer Lamb carded a 69 to end on six under, three ahead of Maguire. Maguire was well placed after three rounds as a two-under-par 70 had left her tied 22nd on three under. However her challenge for a top-20 finish never materialised as bogeys on the fifth and ninth, along with a double bogey on the 17th, saw her drop down the leaderboard. Korea's IK Kim held off a brilliant challenge from England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff to claim a maiden major title. Kim saw her six-shot overnight lead cut in half thanks to a superb run of scoring from Shadoff, who followed a birdie on the second with five in a row from the sixth and another on the 13th. The 29-year-old from Northallerton then birdied the 17th to close the gap to two and parred the last to complete a 64, equalling the course record set on day one by Michelle Wie and matched by Inbee Park in round three. However, Kim, who famously missed a one-foot putt to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship - now called the ANA Inspiration - in 2012, was able to par the final five holes for a closing 71 and winning total of 18 under par. And it will not make for comfortable reading for the chief executive of the FCA, Martin Wheatley. I am told there are two major criticisms. Firstly, that the FCA should not have made a major policy announcement via a briefing to a single journalist at The Daily Telegraph. You can read the subsequent story that followed that briefing - about a review off "rip-off pensions" going back decades - here. And secondly that the FCA was achingly slow to announce more details to the market despite the Telegraph story leading to plunging share prices across the insurance sector. Aviva, Prudential and Legal & General all suffered. Investors became fearful that the FCA review of pensions' policies going back to the 1970s could lead to an insurance sector version of the Payment Protection Insurance scandal that has left banks facing billions of pounds of costs. It wasn't until well into the afternoon that the FCA clarified the position - more than six hours after trading had opened on the London Stock Exchange. The review was actually far more benign, and would not mean millions of pensions' policies being subject to scrutiny to see if they were actually value for money. "This was clearly not the FCA's finest hour," Mr Wheatley admitted at the time. What gave the report in The Telegraph authority was not just the journalist who wrote it - the respected Dan Hyde (a reporter I used to work with when I was business editor of The Sunday Telegraph) - but the fact that it had a direct quote from Clive Adamson, the director of supervision and a member of the FCA's executive committee. He was quoted as saying: "We want to find out how closed-book products are being serviced by insurance companies, as we are concerned insurers are allocating an unfair amount of overheads to historic funds. "As firms cut prices and create new products, there is a danger that customers with older contracts are forgotten. We want to ensure they get a fair deal. As part of the review we will collect information to establish whether we need to intervene on exit charges." This appeared to raise the possibility of retrospective action going back 30 years if the pension provider could not prove it had acted in the interests of the customer. It wasn't until mid-afternoon that the FCA clarified the position, a delay that led one insurance chief executive to describe the situation to me as ridiculous. "This had the effect of creating a disorderly market," the executive said, describing the briefing as "factually incorrect". The FCA clarification said: "We are not planning to individually review 30m policies, nor do we intend to look at removing exit fees from those policies providing they were compliant at the time. "This is not a review of the sales practices for these legacy customers and we are not looking at applying current standards retrospectively - for example on exit charges." I am told - embarrassingly for the FCA - that Mr Adamson did not approve the quote attributed to him despite it coming from the FCA officially. That raises significant questions for the communications team at the FCA. Adding to the feeling of a regulator without a firm grip on its own announcements was the fact that when the Telegraph story broke, Mr Wheatley was travelling back from a work trip in Asia. I am told he didn't arrive back in the office until "mid-morning", as insurers clamoured for more information. The wider ramifications became clear to the chairman of the FCA, John Griffith- Jones, when he received a letter from the chancellor the following week. "As you know, I am profoundly concerned about the events of last Thursday and Friday," George Osborne wrote. "A pre-briefing of information about a forthcoming FCA review appears to have caused considerable disruption in the trading of insurance shares." For a financial regulator, disrupting the market is about as bad as it gets. "These events go to the heart of the FCA's responsibility for the integrity and good order of the UK's financial markets, and have been damaging both to the FCA as an institution and to the UK's reputation for regulatory stability and competence," Mr Osborne continued. Andrew Tyrie, the chairman of Parliament's Treasury Select Committee, described the watchdog's actions as an "extraordinary blunder". Mr Wheatley - who once famously said he would "shoot first and ask questions later" - and Mr Griffith-Jones both have serious questions to answer. They have already announced a restructuring at the FCA which you can read about here. Tomorrow, the FCA will need to make it clear to the financial services sector it regulates, how - precisely - it will ensure that this mess doesn't happen again. For a nation about to mark the centenary of the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman soldiers, it was both a diversion from a sombre anniversary and a chance to raise the profile of the event internationally. The final, high-profile moment of their visit did not involve sisters Kim and Khloe, but Kim Kardashian's husband and rapper Kanye West, who gave a concert in the capital Yerevan late on Sunday and jumped into a lake mobbed by fans. The free gig was the defining moment of the tour, for Richard Giragosian of the independent Regional Studies Center in Yerevan. "For a country like Armenia, with closed borders and lacking in diversity, this was an important opportunity for young Armenians to embrace an American rap star and for him to embrace them," he told the BBC. Armenian TV channels went as far as dubbing him "our nation's son-in-law". From the moment they arrived on 8 April, Kim and Khloe, Kim's husband Kanye West and their daughter North West were mobbed by fans and paparazzi, as they documented every step of their way on social media. The following day they were guests of Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, and immediately Kim Kardashian drew attention to the centenary of the mass killings in World War One on social media, writing #NeverForget on her Instagram account. Friday brought the most poignant moment of the trip, when the sisters laid flowers at Yerevan's genocide memorial on the outskirts of the capital. "What was surprising was that their visit alone did more in terms of international publicity and putting a spotlight on the centenary than the government could ever have done." says Mr Giragosian. "We have an influx of foreign visitors next week, so the fact the Kardashians came earlier resulted in doubling or even trebling international media coverage." Armenia says up to 1.5 million people lost their lives as the Ottoman Empire fell apart in 1915-16, although Turkey says the number was far fewer and rejects the term genocide. Thousands were massacred, while many other victims died of starvation and thirst when they were deported en masse to desert regions. Pope Francis, in the presence of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, angered Turkey on Sunday by speaking of the tragedy as "widely considered the first genocide of the 20th Century". The Yerkir website in Armenia praised both the Pope and the Kardashians for "doing the same job", in boosting efforts to have the killings recognised as genocide. The Kardashians, whose late father's family came from Armenia, are part of a large diaspora estimated at more than eight million, with big populations in Russia, the US and France. Armenian media were largely thrilled by the celebrity visit, with public TV devoting an eight-minute report to the visit, which included a trip to the family's ancestral home at Gyumri. But not everyone was impressed. Pro-opposition paper Zhamanak complained that every issue in Armenia was being viewed through the prism of the Kardashians. But while Armenia is set to return to normality, the Kardashians' trip is not yet over. The next destination to witness their inimitable style is Israel. Brown's announcement last week he would tour in December sparked criticism on social media and an online petition. The Federal government said on Thursday it was reviewing Brown's visa application in light of his conviction. Australia's Minister for Women, Senator Michaelia Cash, said the government was not afraid to "say no". "People need to understand, if you are going to commit domestic violence and you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character that we expect in Australia'", Senator Cash said. Her comments were made at a press conference in Melbourne where Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced a national domestic violence prevention program. The review of Brown's visa follows the government's decision earlier this year to refuse a visa for world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather on similar grounds. Mayweather had been booked for dinner and nightclub appearances in Sydney and Melbourne in January. The 37-year-old American has a criminal record, which includes serving two months in jail in 2012, after pleading guilty to an assault on his former partner in front of their children. The video, published by The Sun, shows Johnson, 29, apparently talking to other inmates at HMP Moorland about his child sex abuse case and victim. The former Sunderland and England midfielder was jailed for six years in March 2016 for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. A spokeswoman said: "An investigation is under way." The Prison Service spokeswoman also said measures to "find and block illegal mobile phones" were being "stepped up". She added: "Those who break the rules will be punished and can face extra time behind bars." In the video, Johnson said he felt he had received a tougher sentence because of his celebrity status. He also said he hoped to resume his football career abroad after leaving prison. Rape Crisis in the North East said it was concerned about the effect the publication of the video could have on Johnson's victim. A spokeswoman said his comments showed "arrogance and a lack of remorse". Johnson, who lived in Castle Eden near Peterlee, County Durham, played for Middlesbrough, Manchester City and Sunderland, and represented England 12 times. Martin Hall renovated the shed in Monmouth after seeing its potential due to the views of the Black Mountains. The £275,000 renovation is now up for the gold medal for architecture at the National Eisteddfod. Architects Hall and Bednarczyk said the barn was "abandoned for several decades and in a rundown state". The gold medal recognises architectural excellence and the winner will be announced during the festival in August. Barnsley's Sam Winnall headed narrowly wide before Marley Watkins forced Wigan goalkeeper Adam Bogdan into a save. Yanic Wildschut wasted Wigan's best chance when he scuffed a shot straight at goalkeeper Adam Davies. Adam Hammill and Conor Hourihane had chances for the hosts, but Wigan kept out their opponents to claim a draw, which saw them drop a place to 23rd. Joyce suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Reading in his opening game, but despite a better showing from his side against the Tykes, they dropped a place after Blackburn's 3-2 win over Brentford. The result was Barnsley's third consecutive draw and the second game in a row in which they have failed to score. Winnall, Watkins, Hammill and Hourihane all came close, while Adam Armstrong also had a header ruled out for offside in the second half. The hosts nearly won it in injury time, but substitute goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen dealt with Hourihane's effort after David Perkins did well to block Hammill's shot. Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom: "My only sort of criticism would be that we didn't work the keeper enough today. "I thought we controlled the game from start to finish and we're disappointed we didn't get the three points there, definitely. Today showed how far as a club we've come, against a team that came up with us and romped our league. "Their set-up and line-up, playing without a striker, a centre-midfielder at right midfield and the first sub is a left-back, so that shows that they came here paying us the utmost respect, trying to nullify us, which they did." Wigan manager Warren Joyce: "I thought we did deserve the point. The way we defended, the way the lads put their bodies on the line second half, I thought it would be a travesty if we didn't get something out of the game. "I think if you take out the first three minutes from Reading, it wasn't too dissimilar from a lot of things that happened today. "It's a really tough place to come here, I've been here watching a lot of games. You know how good the crowd is here, what type of football they play, so we knew it was going to be tough today so I'm pleased." Match ends, Barnsley 0, Wigan Athletic 0.

Zebre led 6-3 at the break, with Edoardo Padovani kicking two early penalties before Billy Burns responded with the boot for Gloucester. Mark Atkinson went over for Gloucester after Zebre's Federico Ruzza was sin-binned early in the second half. Fly-half Burns landed penalties either side of Dries van Schalkwyk's late try to seal victory for the trophy holders. The victory meant Gloucester progress as the only team in the competition with an unblemished record. Only five of the starting XV that secured top spot in the group and safe passage to the last eight with victory against La Rochelle seven days earlier retained their place for the trip to Parma. There was no room for Matt Kvesic, the only Cherry and Whites player included in Eddie Jones' new-look England squad, for the last group game. Worcester, who lost 35-11 to La Rochelle on Friday, finished bottom of Pool Four, 16 points adrift of Gloucester. Gloucester scrum coach Trevor Woodman told BBC Gloucestershire: Media playback is not supported on this device "I don't think it was about getting a try bonus point, it was really about coming out here and getting the victory. You hear coaches say they would sooner win ugly and that was certainly the way of it today. "It was good that we showed character at the end to be able to get back in the game, get ourselves in front and finish it off. Was it pretty ? Not really, but it doesn't need to be all the time. "This has been a period where we've been able to rest a lot of players so they'll be fresh and ready to go. There's no LV Cup this year, and we now have 10 Premiership games in a row and over 10 weeks we'll need the whole squad. It's going to be a big battle and it'll pretty much decide where we are at the end of the season."

The web firm was alerted to the breach by security experts seeking computers vulnerable to the recently discovered Shellshock bug. Shellshock is a flaw found in many widely used versions of the Unix operating system. Although the Yahoo servers were vulnerable to Shellshock it said attackers used a different vulnerability to get at the machines. In a statement, Yahoo said that early on 6 October it isolated several servers that it had been informed were vulnerable to compromise via Shellshock. They were identified as being vulnerable by security researchers scanning servers around the net seeking those running software susceptible to Shellshock. If exploited, the Shellshock bug would allow attackers to run commands as if they were in control of that machine. "After investigating the situation fully, it turns out that the servers were in fact not affected directly by Shellshock, but by a minor bug in a parsing script," said Yahoo in a statement. The vulnerable servers were used by Yahoo to provide live sports updates and news feeds to users. Added Yahoo: "After a comprehensive investigation, we have found no evidence that user information was affected by this incident." In a separate statement released to the Hacker News wire Alex Stamos, security chief at Yahoo, said: "This flaw was specific to a small number of machines and has been fixed, and we have added this pattern to our code scanners to catch future issues." Millions of machines are believed to be vulnerable to Shellshock and security firms have found some cybercrime groups using it to take over machines they then organise into a single network that can be used to send out spam or to carry out other attacks. A congress should have taken place last month but was postponed indefinitely by Fifa on the grounds of carrying out integrity checks on current and potential SLFA members. Last week, the Ministry gave the SLFA until 14 August to hold a congress to pave the way for elections, after the mandate of the current SLFA administration - led by Isha Johansen - came to an end on 3 August. Fifa has responded to the Ministry's latest demand. "It does not reflect the agreed road map which was initiated in order to address the conflicts and problems in Sierra Leone football," Fifa said. Football's world governing body also repeated its directive that any ordinary congress should not be held until integrity checks are carried out on all current and potential SLFA members. As such, Fifa warned the Ministry that the SLFA should manage its affairs "independently" and asked the sports Minister, Ahmed Khanou, "to abstain from taking any decisions contrary to this established process, particularly through the imposition of an ordinary congress on the SLFA." A Fifa task-force is set to meet in mid-September to address the issues, and Fifa says it is still "committed to working with the Sierra Leone government, the SLFA and all goodwill organs (notably the National Sports Council) to bring sanity to football in Sierra Leone." Media playback is not supported on this device The Barcelona forward netted a fierce opener, but Ahmed Musa equalised within 80 seconds with a curling finish. Messi made it 2-1 before the break with a 25-yard free-kick, but Musa grabbed his second after bursting through. Marcos Rojo scored Argentina's winner, knocking in a corner with a knee. The result means Argentina finish top of Group F with three wins from three games, while Nigeria qualify in second with four points after Iran failed to defeat Bosnia-Hercegovina. Nigeria will face France in the last 16 in Brasilia next Monday, while Argentina take on Switzerland a day later in Sao Paulo. They progressed after another goal-laden World Cup match. It only took three minutes for the deadlock to be broken as Messi smashed home after Angel Di Maria's effort came off a post. The celebrations had barely died down when Nigeria levelled. Midfielder Michel Babatunde - who was later stretchered off with a wrist injury - fed the ball into the left side of the area for Musa, who shifted to his right before curling in. Media playback is not supported on this device It was the first time in World Cup history that two opposing teams had both scored inside the first five minutes. The forwards on show continued to expose the fragility of both defences, but it was not until stoppage time in the first half that the next goal arrived. Messi, who moments earlier drew an exceptional save from Vincent Enyeama with a free-kick, struck a set-piece over the wall and beyond the reach of the Lille goalkeeper. It was the 27-year-old's fourth goal in three matches at Brazil 2014, having scored just once in his first eight World Cup appearances. Nigeria knew Bosnia-Hercegovina had taken an early lead against Iran, the African team's rivals for qualification, but they did not sit back and were level again within two minutes of the restart. Musa was the goalscorer again, the CSKA Moscow forward playing a one-two Emmanuel Emenike before slotting the ball past Sergio Romero. Argentina pressed once more, with Di Maria twice forcing Enyeama to make good stops. But the Nigeria goalkeeper was beaten when defender Rojo used his knee to convert a corner from the left. A desperate Di Maria was thwarted again by Enyeama in the closing moments, as the match ended in the same thrilling manner in which it began. Match ends, Nigeria 2, Argentina 3.

Glamorgan managed 140-6 after a poor start, with teenager Aneurin Donald hitting 51 off 38 balls in their only significant innings. The experienced Ravi Bopara and David Masters conceded just 18 runs each in their four-over spells. Donald's half-century was his first in the competition, sharing a 56-run stand for the third wicket with Colin Ingram (26). But Glamorgan lost momentum as they lost wickets regularly, with only Chris Cooke (23 not out) adding late runs. Steyn saw Bopara dropped off his first ball but then conceded a volley of boundaries to Ryder in his second over. When Ryder was caught off Dean Cosker, Tom Westley took over the initiative with 41 off 29 balls and Essex were comfortable victors. Glamorgan now face Hampshire on Friday 3 June, with Essex away to Somerset on the same night. Glamorgan bowler Dale Steyn told BBC Wales Sport: "You saw the first ball go straight at slip, it's a different way if that's taken and the night can change quite quickly then. "Unlucky tonight, but happy to get out there and get the cobwebs out. It would have been nice to win but we were probably 20-30 runs short with the bat. "It's always difficult to rock up on a Sunday and play your first game on a Wednesday, it's finding your feet quickly and hopefully Friday night will be a lot better." Essex captain Ravi Bopara said: "In the first game we had Surrey 80 for six and should probably have closed it out, but the bowlers showed up today big-time. "140 is not easy to chase but the way Jesse played upfront really took the game away from Glamorgan. "Dale Steyn's a world-class bowler and he'll always be a threat, but if you go out with that in your mind you don't play your own game, you've got to concentrate on your own strengths." All the main parties appear to have been influencing voters with so-called "dark ads" - tailored messages visible to certain audiences. The SNP and Lib Dems used ads focusing on pensions while the Conservatives and Labour targeted users in key seats. The data, gathered by 'Who Targets Me' and the Bureau Local, is not exhaustive and relies on volunteers. Last month the UK's Information Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, launched an investigation into political adverts on social media and the "potential impact they have on an individual's privacy". Traditionally the battle for votes has taken place in the open via billboards and pamphlets, knocking on doors, and pressing the flesh. But in recent years there has been a significant increase in political advertising on social media platforms like Facebook. According to the Electoral Commission, political parties spent a combined £1.3m on targeted Facebook advertising during the 2015 general election. 32,000,000 Estimated UK Facebook users £1.3m UK-wide advert spend £29,502 Conservatives in Scotland £7,153 Labour in Scotland £5,466 Scottish National Party In Scotland the SNP spent £5,466, the Conservative and Labour parties forked out £29,502 and £7,153 respectively. Just one year later in the 2016 Holyrood election, overall spending on Facebook ads increased by a third in Scotland with Labour alone nearly trebling their outlay. And the appeal is obvious to political parties seeking to dent the SNP's stranglehold on the majority of Scottish constituencies. Unlike traditional campaigning methods, advertising on social media means fewer boots are needed on the ground, and it allows parties to get a bigger bang for their buck in terms of eyeballs reached. With an estimated 32 million users in the UK - many of whom will specify their age and gender, their ethnicity, where they live, as well as their interests and affiliations - Facebook is a gold mine of personal data. This information allows parties an unprecedented opportunity to splinter their message - to tailor, tweak, personalise and craft their messages to very specific niches of the electorate. But, unlike traditional posters or pamphlets, political adverts on social media are "dark" in the sense that only the intended audience will see the advert - our neighbours may very well see a different advert from the same party. The ads are extremely difficult to monitor and regulate because they appear on an individual's news feed rather than on public pages. Ultimately only Facebook knows who is being shown what - but privacy obligations combined with commercial interests mean that information is not publicly accessible. BBC Scotland was given exclusive access to a data set by the "Who Targets Me" group, which is collaborating with the Bureau Local - a part of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism. For the first time we get an insight into the world of so-called "dark advertising" and how Scottish voters specifically have been targeted. The data shows that the party has run at least 18 unique adverts to date which have been seen 133 times across 36 constituencies. These adverts: The SNP did not respond to requests for comment on this story. Ads were run by different branches of the party - but only two of the seven seen by volunteers were sponsored by the UK party. The data reveals these messages were seen 14 times across seven Scottish constituencies. The data: The Scottish Conservatives declined to comment on the number of adverts run, or their social media strategy. The data shows that Labour had run at least 31 unique adverts to date, which have been seen 71 times across 26 constituencies. These adverts: A spokesman for the Scottish Labour Party acknowledged that Facebook was an "increasingly valuable campaign tool". He added that the party had recently launched an advert which "directly targeted tens of thousands of Tory and Lib Dem voters in marginal seats across the country as part of a major new Facebook campaign, using the most up-to-date campaigning software". According to the data the bulk of views - or "impressions" - were of adverts posted from the UK Liberal Democrats (206) - and leader Tim Farron's own Facebook account (33). These adverts: The Scottish Liberal Democrats did not respond to requests for comment on this story. Mark Shephard, a senior lecturer in politics at the University of Strathclyde, has researched the use of social media during the referendum and the 2015 general election. He said he was "extremely worried" about the increase in political advertising on Facebook, Dr Shephard said: "I think we're headed into a time of compartmentalization, a time when we're being fed a specific line. "I think that's quite dangerous because it's important in a civilised society that we all see and debate, and are privy to, the same kinds of information and we can all then make informed choices." Dr Shephard added: "And we already see with the manifestos, how they can be disaggregated into lots of different policy positions. "So depending on your interest you can be targeted with the particular thing that might matter for you, but it's also important to know what else you're voting for. "You might be most interested in what the dashboard in a car looks like, but you probably should pay attention to whether the tyres are pumped up, and whether the engine is running well." Amid such concerns, the UK's Information Commissioner announced an investigation into political adverts. While primarily focused on last year's EU referendum campaign, Ms Denham has stated the review will also examine adverts used during this election campaign. A spokesman for the Electoral Commission said it was "continually developing" its understanding of online political ad campaigns, including through live monitoring. He added: "We will report after the election on campaign spending, and on what changes to the regulatory regime may need to be made for future polls." But "Who Targets Me" developer Louis Knight-Webb believed there was a shortfall between the watchdog's current regulations and rapidly developing technologies. He said: "Party political broadcasts are highly regulated but the internet is really quite lawless and I don't think the regulators have been quick enough to catch up." Mr Knight-Webb added: "If I isolate a group using the 'big five' personality traits and I work out for example that you are a neurotic person, I could send you a video of your house getting burgled, playing on your fears, and you may end up supporting that party. "That's an extreme example, but it's something that could happen." In the week the election was announced, "Who Targets Me" co-founders Sam Jeffers and Louis Knight-Webb created an extension for the Chrome web browser that could be downloaded and installed by the public. This extension can grab meta-information - the message, date, numbers and types of reaction - from any political adverts it detects on the volunteer's Facebook news feed. The tool reports not only any adverts to the user, but it also records it in a central repository. To date, more than 10,000 people across the UK - 705 volunteers from all but one of Scotland's constituencies - have installed the extension, making the "Who Targets Me" dataset the largest of its kind. What are the caveats? The relationship with the board and fans has been fractious at the League Two side with a number of protests over how the club has been run. Trust chairman Steve Rowland met with Oyston to personally invite him. "We are quite surprised as we have been trying for some considerable time to engage with the Oystons," said BST deputy chairman Christine Seddon. She told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It's never too late so at least he's accepted our offer now and he's going to come and speak to the fans directly and hear from the fans what it is that they want." After their one-season stay in the Premier League in 2010-11, the Seasiders have suffered back-to-back relegations and are in the fourth tier for the first time since 2000-01. BST launched a £16m bid to buy the Tangerines in July 2015 but Oyston, whose son Karl is Blackpool's chairman, eventually ended those takeover talks. "I believe the fact that so many fans have had enough - season ticket sales are very poor indeed - and many fans have vowed they will not come back until the Oystons have left," added Seddon. "I hope he's suddenly realised we're not kidding because the football club, the fans and the local community are suffering terribly because of this stand off - it's a terrible state of affairs." The event will take place at 12:30 BST at Hilton Hotel, North Promenade in Blackpool.

Lady the osprey has laid almost 70 eggs and reared 50 chicks at Loch of the Lowes. The 29-year-old female, thought to be the oldest breeding raptor in the world, was spotted at the site near Dunkeld at 06:49. Thousands of people watch her every year on a Scottish Wildlife Trust webcam. Staff and volunteers at Loch of the Lowes had been on the lookout for Lady, who migrates to Scotland each spring after spending the winter in Africa. She was identified after the sighting using close-up images of her plumage and eye markings. Lady has already begun courtship with her regular partner - known as Laddie - and wildlife centre staff are hopeful the pair could again produce chicks this season. Scottish Wildlife Trust ranger Emma Rawling said everyone at the centre was "thrilled" to see Lady return. She said: "She is a very old bird and for her to undertake another successful migration is testament to just how special she is. However, it does demonstrate the conservation success story of the species as a whole. "To think that ospreys were extinct in Britain just over a century ago really brings home how accomplished the concerted effort of conservation has been in that time. "The questions now are whether she will breed, if any eggs will hatch and whether any chicks fledge." The trust operates a special Ospreycam on their website for bird watchers to follow Lady's progress. Ospreys were extinct in the British Isles between 1916 and 1954, but it's estimated there are currently between 250 and 300 nesting pairs in the UK.

An osprey has returned to a Perthshire nature reserve to breed for the 24th consecutive year.

Sasikala Natarajan was an aide of late chief minister Jayalalitha. Though she has never held public office, the ruling AIADMK party said last week that she would be the southern state's next chief minister. But the state was plunged into uncertainty after the acting chief minister revolted against her. Indian law bars convicts in corruption cases from contesting an election for a period of six years after completing a jail sentence. Tuesday's ruling against Sasikala brought a four-year jail sentence, meaning she will not be able to run for office for 10 years. Sasikala: The 'new mother' of Tamil Nadu politics Jayalalitha successor 'forced to quit' The corruption case, dating back to 1996, centred on accusations that Sasikala held assets disproportionate to her known sources of income. Jayalalitha was also accused of the same offence. The case was tried in neighbouring Karnataka state and the defendants were convicted in 2014, but later acquitted on appeal, a decision which the Supreme Court has now reversed. Jayalalitha, one of India's most influential and colourful politicians, died in December, before a final verdict was reached. The court ordered Sasikala to surrender immediately to authorities in Karnataka, where she will serve her prison sentence. The verdict is a big blow to Sasikala, who was claiming the support of a majority of Tamil Nadu's lawmakers to become chief minister. She has been shut away in a resort along with more than 100 legislators, trying to consolidate her support. Indian media reports say police have entered the resort to arrest her. Acting Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who alleges he was forced to resign to make way for Sasikala, is likely to now stake a claim for the post. Images from Chennai (Madras) showed supporters of Mr Panneerselvam celebrating the verdict. News of Sasikala's appointment as the chief minister had also generated outrage on the ground. Never given any formal role by Jayalalitha in the party or the state government, Sasikala's role was always that of aide and confidante. But analysts say her proximity to power allowed her and her extended family to wield huge influence. Sasikala's influence over Jayalalitha also became the source of intense media speculation and tabloid gossip.

India's Supreme Court has convicted the head of the ruling party in Tamil Nadu state of corruption, ending her attempts to become chief minister.

Independent MSP Margo MacDonald's End of Life Assistance Bill aimed to make it legal for someone to seek help to end their life. Ms MacDonald, who has Parkinson's disease, claimed there was wide public support for the legislation. But the bill was defeated by 85 votes to 16 with two abstentions. MSPs were allowed a rare free vote on the bill, rather than on party lines, and it was supported by a number of members from across the Holyrood parties. It is not illegal to attempt suicide in Scotland but helping someone take their own life could lead to prosecution. The End of Life Assistance Bill would have allowed people whose lives become intolerable through a progressive degenerative condition, a trauma or terminal illness to seek a doctor's help in dying. It also proposed a series of safeguards which would prevent abuse of the legislation. Ms MacDonald said it was important to allow terminally ill people some dignity. Speaking at MSPs debated the bill in parliament, she added: "The idea of assisting someone to achieve a peaceful death, within the law, in accordance with what that person considers to be a dignified fashion, is alive and well." Ms MacDonald also attacked the "Care not Killing" alliance of 50 groups, including faith-based organisations, which campaigned strongly against the bill. End of life Assistance (Scotland) Bill Some critics have claimed it could have led to Scotland becoming a "suicide tourism" destination, along with other countries where the practice is legal, such as Switzerland. There have also been concerns it could fail to safeguard frail, elderly people. Holding up a piece of literature linked to the group, she said: "I'll cut to the chase and condemn as unworthy and cheap, the contribution made by the publishers and authors of this catalogue of linguistic contortions, headed 'Care not Killing'. "This postcard was distributed through churches and caused alarm among frail, elderly and disabled people." Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said she was opposed to the bill, adding the Scottish government's view was that it did not support a change in the law. She said: "I personally find myself particularly concerned and fundamentally concerned about the difficulty I think would always and inevitably be present in determining that someone choosing to end their life had not been subjected to undue influence." During the debate, MSPs from all parties spoke out for and against the bill. Labour MSP Michael McMahon described it as "dangerous and unnecessary", while the two Green MSPs - Robin Harper and Patrick Harvie - said current laws were unclear and "served nobody". Lib Dem MSP Ross Finnie, who convened a special Holyrood committee set up to scrutinise the legislation reiterated its conclusion that it was "not persuaded that the case had been made to decriminalise the law of homicide as it applies to assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia". In England, the director of public prosecutions previously indicated it was unlikely that legal action would be taken against those who assist the suicide of friends or relatives who have a settled and informed wish to die. However, no such guidance has been given in Scotland. MSPs are also currently considering a separate bill to strengthen palliative care for the terminally ill, although Holyrood's health committee has questioned the need for legislation to improve services. The rejection of the bill came after Lord Falconer launched an inquiry into assisted dying in the UK, insisting it would be "an objective, dispassionate and authoritative analysis of the issues".

The Scottish Parliament has rejected plans to give terminally ill people the right to choose when to die, despite claims they were widely backed.

The British number three lost 6-3 6-3 4-6 6-3 to Czech Vesely at Roland Garros on Wednesday. The 27-year-old then clarified earlier comments suggesting he might switch allegiance back to Slovenia. "I really want to play for Great Britain and I'm still hoping," he said. "I haven't really thought anything outside of that." Bedene became a British citizen in 2015 but has been unable to overturn a ban preventing him from representing Great Britain in the Davis Cup. After his first-round win on Monday, he said he hopes to play at the Olympics and to do so players must be available for the Davis Cup. "I read a few interviews, and I don't actually remember what I was saying because I get nervous," he added. "But until it looks like it's done, it's not done yet for me." Great Britain Davis Cup captain Leon Smith said: "As a player of course you want to the play at the Olympics - that's why we want to help and get him available for selection as those players already in the team are." Bedene's French Open campaign ended with defeat by Vesely over two hours and 52 minutes. The world number 52 started sloppily and, while he was able to win the third set, he had no answer to the tall Czech. The pair played out a 13-minute final game, but Vesely went through when Bedene hooked a cross-court shot narrowly wide. World number one Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund are now the only Britons left in the tournament. "I fought really well and I'm proud of that but disappointed to lose, especially after I thought I was better in the fourth set," said Bedene. "I have to learn from it, especially when those first two sets weren't great. "Then I played well and started to show myself that if I can play my game. I can beat those guys." The personal banking website is not allowing customers to log on, while business accounts are running slowly. On Tuesday afternoon, HSBC said it was getting closer to solving the problem, which affected online accounts for up to nine hours on Monday. A spokesperson said it was "a complex technical issue within our systems". The bank is running tests across its servers to try and identify the exact problem, and said that its IT team had been working "non-stop" since yesterday to find a solution. HSBC said it was not a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack and was not caused by anything external. "This is not a cyber-attack or any other malicious act," said John Hackett, HSBC's UK chief operating officer. The bank said its mobile app for personal customers was still functioning. In total, HSBC has 17 million account-holders in the UK. Business customers were experiencing "significantly reduced capacity", with all services running much more slowly than normal, the bank said. Customers of HSBC's subsidiary, First Direct, are not affected. HSBC said that no customers would lose out as a result of the issue. "Any fees customers incur as a result of this outage period will be waived," said Mr Hackett. Nevertheless, angry customers took to Twitter to complain. One described the situation as "shocking disgraceful customer service". Others said they had been charged a £5 daily overdraft fee, but were unable to put money into their accounts. Sam Middleton-Bray, from Hampshire, said she had had difficulty getting information about what was happening. "It's incredibly frustrating and we're not getting a lot of information from HSBC other than their brief messages on Twitter. Their website says to call the 0345 number, but I called it yesterday three times and got an engaged tone," she told the BBC. One or two customers complained that the mobile app was not working either, despite HSBC's assurances. HSBC was hit by a previous IT glitch in August 2015, which prevented 275,000 payments going through just ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend. One senior MP called on the boss of the bank to make sure such failures are not repeated. "The frequency of these failures across the financial services sector suggests a systemic weakness in IT infrastructure. This is concerning." said Andrew Tyrie, the head of the Treasury Select Committee. "I will be asking the chief executive of HSBC, and the regulators, for an explanation of these failures and action taken to sort them out. They just keep coming." HSBC customers affected by the problem are being advised to use the automated telephone banking service, on 03457 404 404. Business customers should call 03457 60 60 60. Those with business accounts are usually restricted to transferring a maximum of £10,000 via telephone banking, but this limit has been raised to £100,000. Otherwise, customers should go to their local branch, HSBC said. The Severn Rivers Trust will create a fish pass on the Teme at the Mill Street weir in Ludlow. It will increase the spawning potential for Atlantic salmon, which can currently only cross the weir in very high water flows, the trust said. Trout, bullhead, eel, grayling and dace will also benefit from the pass. The pass is a Larinier design, which is a set of baffles or plates on a slope shallower than that of the existing weir, meaning the fish can swim up it. It will give fish access to a further 85km (53 miles) of river above the weir. Chief executive Tony Bostock said it was "a fantastic opportunity to greatly increase all fish species throughout the Teme catchment". The funding has been provided by Sita Trust, which awards grants through the Landfill Communities Fund. The company said the fall in sterling since the EU referendum, had boosted exports, enabling it to cut prices. Asos, which targets people in their twenties, now has more than five million active customers in the UK. Profits for the six months to the end of February rose by 14% to £27.3m. Sales hit £889.2m, a rise of 31%. UK retail sales rose by 18% and international sales leapt by 42%. "As a net exporter, sterling weakness has created a FX tailwind for the business which has enabled investment above previously planned levels into both price and proposition," said chief executive, Nick Beighton. As a result, Asos said it expected full-year retail sales to rise by between 30 and 35%. Previously it said it expected sales to go up by 25-30%. However, its gross profit margin fell because of the price cutting, and its full-year profit before tax is predicted to be "broadly in line with market consensus". Its shares fell by more than 6% in early trade, before recovering some ground. At lunchtime they down by nearly 4%. Asos now has a total of 14.1 million active customers worldwide, up from 10.9 million in February of last year. It sells more than 85,000 products all over the world. As well as the UK site, it also has local websites in the US, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia and Russia. In February, its websites were visited 127 million times. "Things have been pretty bleak for the UK's High Street retailers recently, which may be in part due to the sustained success of online giants like ASOS," said George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. "ASOS' market cap now exceeds that of several FTSE 100 companies. However, with plenty of untapped potential across Europe and the US, the king of the AIM market [a junior stock market] has plenty of gas left in the tank, and looks set to continue its impressive record of double digit sales growth for years to come," he added. Signed letters from the world champion boxer were slipped under the door of the players' hotel rooms, the morning of the 2002 championship final. Hugh Campbell had been recruited as part of the Armagh coaching staff in 2002 by manager, Joe Kernan. Despite no prior background in Gaelic games, Hugh specialised in sports psychology. After reading "The Fight", by Norman Mailer, a book which documented the build up to the famous Muhammad Ali and George Foreman fight in 1974, Hugh began using Ali's quotes and stories throughout the season to inspire the players. He said: "At the time Ali was a huge underdog and most thought that Foreman would be too strong for him. "So much so, that they actually feared for his safety. "Ali, however, had a contrasting attitude and was even dancing in the changing room moments before the fight. "Like Ali, Armagh at the time were huge underdogs and were seen to always fall at the final hurdle having lost a few semi-finals in the previous years. "I wanted to get it through to them that it was just a label and often used Ali as an example of overcoming it." Hugh, however, didn't want to 'sicken' the players about Muhammad Ali and chose his moments carefully when to refer to him. When Armagh made it to the final, he thought it would be a 'massive boost' if he could get Ali to somehow deliver them a message. "My next door neighbour is a TV producer and she got me the number of Ali's organisation", he said. "I didn't have much hope in him actually replying but figured it was worth a shot and gave them a ring. "They were incredibly warm and helpful, so I put together a portfolio about Armagh, sending them newspaper clippings, photos and a jersey to try to give them an idea of how big an event it is, as I know they wouldn't hear anything about it over there. "When they rang to tell me that they would send letters to each player with Muhammad Ali's signature, I was electrified. "The evening before the match I didn't tell the players about the letter as I wanted to surprise them in the morning, but in my presentation I did ask say 'If Ali was here in his prime right now, what do you think he would say to you?' "Amazingly one of the players thought the letter was a joke and threw it in the bin, before realising it was real and had to go rummaging for it." The coaching staff didn't want the letter to become a sideshow and distract the players, but simply give them the boost they needed. They took extra care to do everything discreetly and that's why the Armagh backroom staff got in touch again in 2003. "Ali sent another letter the following year", Hugh added. "Once again, we made it to the final and he sent us another letter saying that we defied the critics by being the defending champs. "When we lost, Ali's wife rang me to tell me that he wanted to know what happened and to deliver a personal message to me. "That message was 'keep going' and they later sent me back the jersey I had sent them, this time with Ali's signature and I have it proudly hung up and framed." Steven McDonnell, who kicked the winning score in 2002, said: "Ali is the greatest sports person of all time, you just have to look at boxing then compared to now to see the difference he made. "As a sports fan, I always have been interested in the man, but when the coaches, Hugh Campbell and Des Jennings, started using his quotes and stories to motivate us throughout the 2002 season, I really started to get inspired by him. "Joe Kernan identified our weaknesses as well as our strengths and a big weakness he saw was a lack of belief in ourselves. "Ali always believed that he was the greatest and we wanted to be the greatest. "His letter helped us believe that we were. "I have a lot of jerseys, medals and memorabilia collected over my career but that letter certainly has the most sentimental value." The 'Greatest' had experienced GAA sports first hand in 1972, during his visit to Dublin. He received lessons from Kilkenny hurling legend, Eddie Keher, but said: "They look pretty rough these football and hurling players - I think I'll just stick to boxing." The man's daughter, seven, is in a stable condition after the incident at Killowen Primary School in Lisburn. It is understood that school staff used a defibrillator on the man, 36, and he was resuscitated at the scene. He was taken to Lisburn's Lagan Valley Hospital before being moved to the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald. The children were taken to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and are thought to have suffered burn injuries. Fiona Douglas, the school's principal, said that staff and parents treated the family before the emergency services arrived. "Following this all other pupils, accompanied by staff, went safely to nearby Laurel Hill Community College, where they were collected by parents," she said. "The thoughts of the entire school community are with the family at this time." According to the school's website, a sports day was held on Tuesday for children aged four to seven. Parents arriving to pick up their children were visibly distressed by what had happened. The school will be closed on Wednesday. Social Democratic and Labour Party councillor Pat Catney said people were "stunned" by the news of the injuries to the family. "This is an absolute tragedy" he said. "We have to think of the family. "I'm thinking of the young father and the children who were injured as well. "There's no preparing for an incident of this nature - it was just one of those freak, tragic accidents that has stunned me and shocked me." Mr Catney praised police and the ambulance service who had "responded very quickly". He also paid tribute to parents and teachers at the school who had helped to direct traffic and ensure that children were able to leave safely. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it arrived seven minutes after receiving a report just before 14:00 BST that a man had been struck by lightning. It said people should "remain very vigilant when they are out and about" due to the possibility of more thunderstorms. The hosts had been sanctioned for crowd trouble during a derby against Lyon in February. Referee Ruddy Buquet sent the players to the dressing room in the 16th minute, with the fans finally leaving the stadium quietly after 15 minutes.

A win for the visitors would have taken them above Ayr United into second but Joe Cardle's strike condemned them to a sixth straight loss. Cardle netted the winner when he converted from Ryan Wallace's pass. The Pars go up to the Championship having finished 18 points clear, while Peterhead will take on Ayr in the promotion play-off semi-final. A new book claimed the then home secretary failed to support plans to curb EU immigrants coming into Britain. It claims Mrs May urged Mr Cameron not to demand an "emergency brake" in 2014 for fear of upsetting other EU leaders. But supporters of the prime minister say she wrote to Mr Cameron twice to make the case for such a measure. Iain Watson, BBC political correspondent, said sources close to Mrs May had now taken the "unusual step" of releasing details of private correspondence between her and Mr Cameron. Our correspondent said those close to Mrs May had calculated it is "politically important to rebut the suggestion that she took a softer line on immigration". According to the book - All Out War, by Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman - Mr Cameron had wanted to push for a so-called emergency brake as part of his EU renegotiation. Such a measure could have convinced voters he would be able to reduce immigration if Britain remained in the EU, it argued. However, the book claims the former prime minister was persuaded against doing so by Mrs May and then foreign secretary Philip Hammond, now the chancellor. Analysis, BBC deputy political editor John Pienaar "Lily-livered May" are not words Downing Street wants to see in the same headline in a national newspaper. Not ever. Seeing them as the prime minister embarks on a nerve-testing game of chicken with European leaders, as she tries to negotiate new relationships outside the EU, was guaranteed to have Theresa May and her team choking on their cornflakes. Team May could simply not afford to leave unchallenged the suggestion she baulked at the idea of seeking an "emergency brake" on EU migration for fear of upsetting the German chancellor. Satisfying the public demand for a tough line on migration - the single greatest influence underlying the vote to leave the EU - will be tough enough. Any suspicion the prime minister lacks the stomach for the fight could make that task far harder. So the rebuttal was swift. Read more Mrs May feared demanding such a measure would upset German Chancellor Angela Merkel, it says. Mr Shipman quoted an aide to Mr Cameron as saying: "Hammond spoke first and argued we just couldn't do something that would receive an immediate raspberry in Europe. "Theresa said very, very little, and simply said that we just couldn't go against Merkel." The book said a "visibly deflated" Mr Cameron was said to have turned to one official and said: "I can't do it without their support. If it wasn't for my lily-livered cabinet colleagues...." However, according to details released by Mrs May's camp, she twice wrote to Mr Cameron - in November 2014 and May 2015 - arguing for an emergency brake. The first letter came a week before Mr Cameron was due to give a key speech on Europe. In it, she is said to have proposed an emergency brake as part of a series of measures to rebalance the rights of citizens to move within the EU. Sources said she argued it would allow national governments to act in the best interests of their resident populations. In the second letter, she is said to have argued that an emergency brake was crucial to cutting numbers and convincing the public the government was capable of policing its own borders. Sources close to the prime minister have defended their decision to release details of the letters, but said they would not be publishing them. One source told the BBC: "We are not going to attempt to justify our media strategy. We are very happy to explain the facts." They also pointed to articles from 2013 and 2014 in which Mrs May called for reforms to freedom of movement. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Tim Shipman said his account was based on the testimony of two aides to Mr Cameron. He added: "Everything Downing Street are putting out is wholly consistent with what I've written and they are not in any way disputing the details of what happened in that meeting." It comes after a second book - by former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver - claimed Mr Cameron felt "badly let down" by Mrs May during the EU referendum campaign. Sir Craig said the former home secretary failed to back the Remain campaign 13 times and was regarded by some as "an enemy agent". However, former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith urged Remain campaigners to "get behind Theresa May instead of carping". "Craig Oliver's is one of a growing number of foolish attempts by ex-government Remainers who lost to shift responsibility for their failure. "The grown-up thing for them to do, instead of carping, is to show some humility and get behind Theresa May as she seeks to get back control of migration with the EU as we leave," he said in a statement. John O'Dowd had planned to introduce new legislation that would give parents more control over when their children began their primary school education. However, he has now said there is not enough time to pass the legislation before the next assembly elections. Campaigners who lobbied for the change have criticised Mr O'Dowd's "U-turn". They include the campaign group, ParentsOutLoud, and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) education union. Mark Langhammer of ATL said: "This move by the minister beggars belief. We were told by his department a few months ago that the preparatory work on the legislation was well advanced. "Officials have also detailed to us the key legislative changes which the department believes need to be made - and those appear to be few in number and very straightforward." "This simple and highly popular measure would have benefited thousands of children and improved educational outcomes," Mr Langhammer added. At present in Northern Ireland, children who reach the age of four on or between 1 September and 1 July in the same school year, have to start school at the beginning of the next school year. Children whose birthdays fall between 2 July and 31 August in the same calendar year have to start school in the September following their fifth birthday. Brenda Pierse, whose son Emmet is due to celebrate his fourth birthday in June, said he is not ready to start school. Emmet's birthday falls two weeks before the 1 July cut-off point, meaning he will have to begin primary school in September. Mrs Pierse said her son is already struggled at the pre-school centre he is attending. She said Emmet would benefit far more from a further year in a pre-school setting, as opposed to starting formal school. She added that she was "bitterly disappointed" that the proposed legislation has been postponed. In a statement, the minister said: "Given the limited assembly scrutiny time available, it is not likely this legislation could be passed in the current assembly mandate. "I have had to prioritise legislation being brought forward focusing on the commitments I have given at Stormont House and to my assembly colleagues. "I understand there will be some disappointment, however, the current consultation provides an important starting point and will help inform the interim guidance which I intend to publish in the coming months," Mr O'Dowd added. Arconic said it was discontinuing sales of Reynobond PE for tower blocks due to "issues" identified by the fire, which is feared to have killed at least 79. The government said 75 buildings in 26 council areas had now failed fire safety tests - every one tested so far. Theresa May said councils need to speed up tower block safety tests in England. Communities and Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid said all hospitals and schools had also been asked to carry out "immediate checks". He said the fact all tested samples had failed the so-called combustibility test underlined the "vital importance of submitting samples urgently". "The testing facility can analyse 100 samples a day and runs around the clock. I am concerned at the speed at which samples are being submitted. "I would urge all landlords to submit their samples immediately," Mr Javid told the House of Commons. Four more Grenfell fire victims' inquests have been opened and adjourned, including that of a boy aged five. The body of Isaac Paulos, who lived with his family on the 18th floor, was found on the 13th floor, Westminster Coroner's Court was told. A preliminary cause of his death was given as "inhalation of fire fumes". The inquests of Mary Ajaoi Augustus Mendy, 54, her daughter Khadija Saye, 24, and Mohamednur Tuccu, 44, were also opened. Questions about the cladding used on Grenfell Tower, in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, were raised in the days after the fire. Engineering and manufacturing company Arconic later confirmed Reynobond PE (polyethylene) - an aluminium composite material - was "used as one component in the overall cladding system" of the block. The material has a plastic core, which it is feared may have helped accelerate the spread of the fire. In a fresh statement, the firm said it had stopped sales of Reynobond PE for tall buildings, citing concerns about the "inconsistency of building codes across the world". Following the Grenfell Tower fire, issues have arisen "regarding code compliance of cladding systems", it added. Cladding from as many as 600 tower blocks across England is being tested for safety. Housing minister Alok Sharma told the BBC Radio 4's Today Programme some councils were acting "very quickly". Mr Sharma added: "People should not wait for the checks to come back from these (tests). "They should act now, get the fire service in, check the buildings that they think may be affected, put in place mitigation measures, if required, or, as in the case of Camden, if they need to evacuate, that needs to happen." Insulation and cladding taken from Grenfell Tower failed preliminary safety tests last week. Despite the prime minister promising to rehouse all of the tower block's residents within three weeks, Mr Javid says this might not be possible. "For example...some of the families have first asked for something in Kensington as close as possible to where they lived but then when they have been shown the home and they see the tower and what is left of it, they have changed their minds and quite understandably said, 'Look, we would like to have some other options,'" he said. Mr Javid added the government was working at the residents' pace and promised they would be made offers of housing within the three week time period. Over the weekend, Camden Council moved to evacuate 650 flats from four tower blocks in the Swiss Cottage area, after London Fire Brigade had raised concerns about cladding, gas pipe insulation, and fire doors. Mr Javid told MPs more than 1,000 fire doors were missing from five blocks in the Camden borough and a number of stairways were not accessible. Some 103 households are currently refusing to leave the tower blocks, the BBC understands - an increase on Saturday when 83 households remained. The apparent increase suggests some families have returned home since the weekend despite the warning. Residents on Colonsay have been intrigued by the three carcasses with some suggesting they could be polar bears washed down from the Arctic. But scientists at the Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme said they were more likely to be marine animals. They said decomposing blubber has a fur-like appearance. The Friends of Colonsay Facebook page has carried a series of photographs of the remains, which look like they are covered in dirty white fur. The group speculated on the possibility of the remains being those of bears, but has since acknowledged the scientists' explanation. Inverness-based SMAS carries out examinations of whales, dolphins and other large marine animals found washed up on Scottish beaches. On the Colonsay discoveries, it said: "We have had a number of these sort of cases over the years, and are confident that these are highly autolysed cetacean carcases. "The 'fur' referred to is decomposing blubber, which becomes stringy in appearance as the lipids from the blubber are drained into the sand. "Once the bones are exposed we may be able to identify these animals to a species level with help from the experts at the National Museum of Scotland." The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which has three polar bears at its Highland Wildlife Park, has also said it did not believe the remains to be those of bears. Six years ago, RSPB Scotland did an April Fool's Day joke about a polar bear being washed up on the Isle of Mull to highlight concerns about climate change. Though not reaching as far as Scotland, polar bears are known to stray far from their usual range. Earlier this year, a polar bear was shot dead in northern Iceland, the first such incident of its kind since 2010. The female bear came within 500 metres of an inhabited farm before it was shot by a marksman. Some 2,000 girls in the city are thought to be at risk of FGM, which can cause fatal blood infections, urinary incontinence and chronic pain. It is illegal for British nationals or permanent residents to be taken to another country for the procedure. However, girls are regularly taken abroad to undergo FGM during the summer. FGM is carried out in more than 28 countries, including those in Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa, including Somalia and Sudan. According to the city council, Bristol is thought to have the UK's third largest Somali population, outside London and Birmingham. Aiding and abetting the crime can lead to 14 years in prison, but there is yet to be a prosecution in the UK. Dave McCallum used to lead the public protection unit of Avon and Somerset Police and is a trustee of Integrate Bristol, a charity that helps young people from other countries integrate and adapt. He said: "The whole process needs to work for the police to get the information they need to act upon. "Members of the community have not been passing this on as they really ought to." Nimco Ali, co-founder of campaign group Daughters of Eve, agreed communities were not reporting FGM. She said the organisation worked to try and make senior figures in the public sector take the problem seriously. "The onus falls on the public sector as opposed to waiting for those who are perpetuating the crime to report the crime themselves," she said. "The community haven't changed their position on FGM, they say it's something they're going to carry on doing." The woman, 19, was found at City Warehouse ApartHotel on Great Ancoats Street, Manchester, at about 06:30 GMT. Greater Manchester Police said they are concerned about any others who may have taken the pills and have advised them to seek medical attention. Supt Stephen Howard said: "Even if you took it some hours ago this pill could be seriously harming your health." The charges relate to alleged "historical" incidents, police in the Australian state of Victoria said on Thursday. The allegations were made by more than one person, said Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton. Cardinal Pell has consistently and vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The Vatican treasurer, who is based in Rome, will be required to face the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 18 July, police said. Representatives for the Catholic Church in Australia did not immediately return a request for comment. Victoria Police made the decision to charge Cardinal Pell after receiving advice from prosecutors last month. Deputy Commissioner Patton said police "process and procedures" had been no different from any other investigation. "Cardinal Pell has been treated the same as anyone else in this investigation," he said. Details of the allegations were not revealed. The charges were served on Cardinal Pell's legal representatives in Melbourne on Thursday. Smith's debut In The Lonely Hour passed one million sales in the UK in the past 24 hours, according to the Official Charts Company. Nielsen Music confirmed that Smith had sold a million copies of his record in the US on Wednesday. In America, only Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and the Frozen soundtrack have passed the million mark this year. In The Lonely Hour is the second album to pass a million sales in the UK this year after Ed Sheeran's X, which achieved the figure in November. Sam Smith told OfficialCharts.com: "Officially sold one million copies of In The Lonely Hour. To say I am ecstatic is a huge understatement. "Thank you so much to every single person who has purchased my album." 2014 is also the first year since 2011 when more than one album has passed one million sales in the UK. In 2011, Adele's 21 and 19, Michael Buble's Christmas and Bruno Mars' Doo-Wops & Hooligans all passed the mark. In The Lonely Hour became the fastest-selling debut album of the year in the UK when it went straight in at number one on the Official Albums Chart in May with first week sales of 102,000. It spent a second week at the top before returning for another fortnight 12 weeks later. Sam Smith's album includes number one singles Money On My Mind and Stay With Me, as well as Top 10s I'm Not The Only One (number three) and Like I Can (nine). Tracks downloaded from his album total 2.48 million, have been streamed 87 million times and viewed on video streaming sites in the UK 48 million times. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Weeks after details of the US Prism programme first leaked, some of the details of what it entails have been confirmed but others have yet to be clarified, and may not do so for years to come. What is Prism? A surveillance system launched in 2007 by the US National Security Agency (NSA). A leaked Powerpoint presentation, dated April 2013, states that it allows the organisation to "receive" emails, video clips, photos, voice and video calls, social networking details, logins and other data held by a range of US internet firms. One of the slides names the companies as: Microsoft and its Skype division; Google and its YouTube division; Yahoo; Facebook, AOL, Apple and PalTalk - a lesser known chat service owned by AVM Software. The presentation says the programme costs $20m (£13m) a year to run and is designed to overcome earlier "constraints" in the NSA's counterterrorism data collection efforts. Details of the initiative were first published by the Guardian and the Washington Post newspapers on 6 June. Late that day the US director of national intelligence confirmed the initiative's existence and declassified some information about it. James Clapper said that there were "strict, court-imposed restrictions" on how the data was handled and that only a "very small fraction" of the information was ever reviewed as most of it was not "responsive" to anti-terrorism efforts. A 1978 law - the Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act (Fisa) - had set out the conditions under which a special three-judge court would authorise electronic surveillance if people were believed to be engaged in espionage or planning an attack against the US on behalf of a foreign power. Following the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration secretly gave the NSA permission to bypass the court and carry out warrantless surveillance of al-Qaeda suspects and others. After this emerged in 2005, Congress voted to both offer immunity to the firms that had co-operated with the NSA's requests and to make amendments to Fisa. The relaxation to the rules, introduced in 2008, meant officials could now obtain court orders without having to identify each individual target or detail the specific types of communications they intended to monitor so long as they convinced the court their purpose was to gather "foreign intelligence information". In addition they no longer had to confirm both the sender and receiver of the messages were outside the US, but now only had to show it was "reasonable" to believe one of the parties was outside the country. Details of the programme were leaked by Edward Snowden, a 30-year-old who had formerly worked as a technical assistant to the US Central Intelligence Agency. He has since been charged in the US with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence. Mr Snowden initially moved to Hong Kong, but its government says he left the city voluntarily on 23 June. There have been conflicting media reports about where he has gone. Officials say that Prism cannot be used to "intentionally target any US citizen, any other US person, or anyone located within the United States". According to the Washington Post, the NSA identifies suspect communications using search terms designed to give it a 51% confidence rating that the target is foreign. The paper says the queries are then checked by the FBI to ensure no US citizen is named as a target. Once this is done and a suspect identified, it says that anyone that person has contacted or been contacted by can also become subject for review and then, in turn, everyone in the inbox and outbox of this extended group may also be targeted. On 20 June the Guardian published a document spelling out the precautions the NSA is supposed to take to minimise the risk of inadvertently examining data about US citizens and residents. It says that if officials discover details about US persons they should either pass them onto domestic law enforcement or destroy them "at the earliest practicable point". The exception to this is if the data is encrypted. But some experts have questioned whether such safeguards are effective. "The only way you can be reasonably be sure that somebody is a resident of a particular country from their email is to go and read all of their stuff," says Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory. "The NSA appears to be claiming magical powers for itself with claims it can search automatically through large numbers of webmail inboxes and pull out the right material, because even the webmail companies have said in most cases they can't figure out the nationality, residence and domicile of a user without getting a person to look through their stuff." Even assuming the NSA checks are adequate, that still leaves overseas residents who use services provided by the named tech companies as potential targets. President Barack Obama has sought to offer reassurance by saying US security services are not "rifling through the ordinary emails" of German, French or other citizens, but are rather following a "circumscribed, narrow system". One of the leaked slides says that "collection [of data was] directly from the servers" of the US tech firms. Initial reports suggested that the NSA did in fact extract the data via special equipment they had installed on the companies' computers which acted as a "back door". However, the tech firms issued statements denying that they provided "direct access". The New York Times then suggested that the companies had created the digital equivalent of "locked mailboxes" - secure areas on their networks onto which they copied the requested files for the agency to inspect. However, Google later denied this in an interview with Wired magazine. It said it had complied with court-ordered requests by either sending data over secure FTP (file transfer protocol) - an encrypted transmission sent from its computers to the authorities' - or by physically handing over the information "in person". The other tech firms have not been as specific. Although several of the tech firms involved said they had never heard of Prism before the newspaper reports, they have provided limited information about how they handle national security requests. Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo and Facebook have all published figures giving a rough indication of the total number of requests they have received from law enforcement agencies over a period of time. However, they say they are not able to provide a figure for Fisa-related requests alone as this data remains classified. By contrast, Google declines to provide an aggregated figure saying this would mark a "step back" for its users. The firm already sub-divides the different kinds of government requests it receives into different groups - including the number of national security-related letters received from the FBI. Its figures do not include requests from the NSA. It says to do so would involve "lumping together" the Fisa requests with those related to other cases which it says would be less transparent. Security researcher Ashkan Soltani has posted a blog saying there are still five key unanswered questions about Prism: NSA director Keith Alexander says that his agency's communication surveillance programmes have helped prevent more than 50 "potential terrorist events" since 9/11. He adds that at least 10 of those had been set to take place in the US, but says that some details need to remain classified to ensure the efforts remained effective. President Obama adds that: "You can't have 100% security, and also then have 100% privacy and zero inconvenience." The Guardian says it has obtained official documents that state "special programmes for GCHQ exist for focused Prism processing" - suggesting that spies at the UK's Government Communications Headquarters are making use of data sourced from the US tech firms. The newspaper says that in the year to May 2012, the British agency was able to generate 197 intelligence reports as a result. These would normally be passed on to the MI5 and MI6 intelligence agencies, it says. Foreign Secretary William Hague says that law-abiding citizens have "nothing to be worried about". The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg adds that there are "exacting checks and balances in the way in which all intelligence agencies access information". But Labour's shadow defence secretary Douglas Alexander says the government needs to be more open about the subject. Professor Alan Woodward, a cybersecurity consultant who has worked for the UK government, suggests at the very least it should put limits on how long the information can be stored. "Regimes do change and you don't want your data to be misused by any future government," he says. "The key to that is how long the data is kept for. The reassurance needs to be that the data is not kept for any more than a reasonable amount of time - perhaps a couple of years." Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee says it will receive a full report on the matter from GCHQ shortly and will then decide what action to take. The EU's justice commissioner, Viviane Reding, says she has concerns that firms complying with Prism-related requests might be handing over data in breach of European citizens' data privacy rights. As a consequence the US has agreed to set up a joint working group to examine the issue. China's government says it is "gravely concerned" by other recently disclosed US "cyber attacks" on its citizens. The country's official news agency, Xinhua, says the affair proves the US is the "biggest villain in our age" while the South China Morning Post accuses Washington of "hypocrisy". However, Russian President Vladimir Putin says that this kind of surveillance is "becoming a global phenomenon" and a practical way to fight terrorism. Freedom Watch, a Florida-based activist group, is suing various government agencies and the tech companies involved, claiming that Prism violates the US constitution. But the White House says that the programme is legal under the Fisa amendments first passed by Congress in 2008 and then renewed in 2012. These are not due to expire until 2017. There have, however, been suggestions that US firms could face lawsuits in the EU for complying with the requests. The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has issued a statement saying: "Aspects of US law under which companies can be compelled to provide information to US agencies potentially conflict with European data-protection law, including the UK's own Data Protection Act." Finland's communications minister Pia Viitanen has also raised concerns. However, researchers at the University of Amsterdam suggest that national security exemptions mean the firms have a valid legal defence. Far from it. The Guardian has published details of another Fisa-sanctioned programme which demanded US phone network provider Verizon hand over phone records belonging to millions of its customers to the NSA. The US director of national intelligence says this was limited to "telephony metadata" including the numbers dialled and length of calls but not the contents of the conversations. Even so, the American Civil Liberties Association has filed a lawsuit against the government claiming it was in breach of the US Constitution. The leaked Powerpoint slides also point to a separate effort to collect "communications on fibre cables and infrastructure as data flows past", in other words as it travels across the internet. The Guardian has reported that GCHQ is doing something similar as part of a project codenamed Tempora, and says the agency is storing collected data for up to 30 days. Germany's justice minister describes the claims as "nightmarish". And Reuters has reported that the US government is now the biggest buyer of malware, noting that the NSA declines to comment on its own role in buying such tools because of the "sensitivity" of the topic. Richard Cox - a security specialist who previously worked in the UK's telecoms industry - warns the appearance of being over-zealous could prove self-defeating. "Trust is vital - if the intelligence agencies appear to be overstepping the bounds of trust then there will be distrust," he says. "We need greater oversight of the mechanisms being used so that we know they are being used in accordance with the law and so that we don't have to restrict officials' capabilities which might harm our security." Several websites have published advice on how to avoid Prism's reach. Suggestions include: But the University of Cambridge's Prof Anderson says the NSA can still overcome such measures. "It won't break the encryption, but will put malware on your phone or laptop," he says. "If you come to the attention of the NSA it will simply compromise the end devices." Security consultant Prof Woodward agrees a certain amount of paranoia is justified, but adds that concerns need to be put in context. "You should assume other countries are trying to spy on you - that's what they do," he says. "Because of the way the internet has developed much of it is based in the States, so Americans have a prime opportunity. "One of the comforts that the British have about the Americans and vice-versa is that we've been working hand-in-glove since 1946 sharing the material. "But this doesn't mean the British intelligence services can get round local legislation and go to the Americans for information they've gathered on a UK citizen. "That is still illegal. If they want information collected by an ally they still have to go through the legal process." The 23-year-old has made 19 appearances in all competitions for Michael Appleton's side this season, scoring one goal. Ruffels, a former Coventry City trainee, was previously out of contract this summer. The U's travel to Luton Town on Wednesday in the last four of the EFL Trophy. The proposals for North Wales Hospital in Denbigh have been put forward by Prince's Regeneration Trust. Denbighshire council won a compulsory purchase order earlier this year from the site's owners amid concerns about the Grade II-listed building. Freemont (Denbigh) Ltd is expected to retain ownership until early 2017. Subject to the change of ownership, Denbighshire council plans to hand over the former Victorian asylum to North Wales Buildings Preservation Trust. It will operate as a not-for-profit organisation raising the money to preserve the listed buildings on the site via its "enabling development" plans, with profits made from the sale of new properties elsewhere on the site. Freemont bought the hospital site in 2003 following its closure in 1996. Planning permission was granted in 2006 for a redevelopment scheme but it has since expired and no work was carried out. In 2015, the council spent £900,000 on emergency repairs in a bid to protect it from deterioration. Freemont, which is based in the British Virgin Isles, had opposed the compulsory purchase, while Ayub Bhailok, speaking on the company's behalf, called the latest plans "flawed and unsustainable". On Wednesday, Denbighshire council's planning committee approved the latest proposals. Ward councillor Colin Hughes said the development would "be very good for the town", bringing an increase in residents and visitors. "The importance of this development to the future of Denbigh is immeasurable," he said. "Nothing has happened here apart from deterioration in the last 21 years," he added, referring to the building itself which, he said, had played a large part of people's lives in the past. "As it is now it is absolutely useless to us." The killings by members of the Parachute Regiment took place in Ballymurphy over a three-day period in August 1971. A preliminary inquest hearing has been scheduled for 30 November. But it will not be completed unless the Coroner's Courts service is given additional funding. The decision to prioritise the Ballymurphy deaths follows a review of more than 50 so-called legacy inquests, involving more than 90 deaths in some of the most controversial incidents of the Troubles. They include killings by police officers and soldiers, and others where there are allegations of collusion. The Lord Chief Justice, Sir Declan Morgan, has written to the families of the Ballymurphy victims informing them that their inquest is deemed to be at an advanced stage of readiness. Those killed included a mother-of-eight and a priest. A solicitor representing the families has welcomed the scheduling of a hearing date, but stressed that this does not mean the inquest will be completed at this time. "The families have received notification that the inquest has been prioritised by the Lord Chief Justice," said Padraig Ó Muirigh. "However, he was very clear that this doesn't mean that the inquest can be completed at this time. "He warned earlier this year that legacy inquests can't be completed unless extra funding is made available and that position hasn't changed." The decision means the Ballymurphy inquest will be among the first to be heard if the Stormont Executive or Westminster government agree to a request from Sir Declan Morgan for additional funding for the coroner's court service. The Lord Chief Justice has drawn up a five-year plan to hear all outstanding legacy inquests. It has been estimated that the cost would be at least £10m. His request for additional funding has been blocked by First Minister Arlene Foster. The BBC revealed on Thursday that lawyers acting for families of more than 30 people killed in some of the most controversial incidents of the Troubles have launched legal action in an attempt to have the funding released. They are seeking a court order instructing the Stormont Executive, department of justice and Westminster government to give the Lord Chief Justice the resources he has requested. A hearing for a judicial review application has been listed for 14 December. The impressions were made when some of our distant relatives walked together across wet volcanic ash. Their makers, most likely Australopithecus afarensis, appear to have had a wide range of body sizes. Scientists say this gives clues to how this ancient species of human lived. Australopithecus afarensis is one of the longest-lived and best-known early human species. The fossil of "Lucy", a young adult female who lived in Ethiopia 3.2 million years ago, is perhaps the most famous individual. The newly discovered footprints may have been made by a male walking with smaller females. "This novel evidence, taken as a whole with the previous findings, portrays several early hominins moving as a group through the landscape following a volcanic eruption and subsequent rainfall. But there is more," said lead researcher Prof Giorgio Manzi, director of the archaeological project in Tanzania. "The footprints of one of the new individuals are astonishingly larger than anyone else's in the group, suggesting that he was a large male member of the species. "In fact, the 165cm stature indicated by his footprints makes him the largest Australopithecus specimen identified to date." In 1976, preserved footprints thought to be made by Australopithecus were discovered at a site in Laetoli, Tanzania. At 3.66 million years old, they are the oldest documented bipedal footprint trails. Now, the discovery of a second set of footprints has been revealed in the journal, eLife. "Now that we've found a new set of footprints it opens up a completely different window and there could be a number of new possibilities to study what is a photograph in time of the everyday life of this species," said Jacopo Moggi-Cecchi of the University of Florence. The tracks were found during excavations for a museum only 150m south of the original discovery. The researchers, based in Italy and Tanzania, think the two sets could belong together, giving clues to the lifestyle of Australopithecus. "A tentative conclusion is that the group consisted of one male, two or three females, and one or two juveniles, which leads us to believe that the male - and therefore other males in the species - had more than one female mate," said Dr Marco Cherin, director of the school of paleoanthropology at the University of Perugia. The finding of a male perhaps walking with several females could mean their social structure was "closer to a gorilla-like model than to chimpanzees or modern humans". In gorillas, one male and a number of females form a mating and child-rearing group. The study also raises questions about how human feet were made for walking. Australopithecus were capable of walking upright on two legs, but we don't know how much they resembled modern humans in the way they walked. Prof Robin Crompton of the University of Liverpool, who is not connected to the study, said the latest footprints will give more information, once statistical work is done. "Some people have argued that they have a slightly different gait, but I don't think there's any good evidence for that," he told BBC News. "If humans have been walking the same way as we do now for more or less 3.65 million years, and human ancestors - in another genus - Australopithecus - then that's really fairly exciting."

One report said Malian soldiers fled the attack; another said troops fought back and clashes lasted several hours. The militants have been fighting the Malian army for a number of years. The latest phase of the insurgency began after a French-led military intervention in January 2013, aimed at driving out Islamist militants from towns they had seized in northern Mali and declared to be an "Islamic state". The French military action dispersed but did not destroy the extremists and sporadic attacks have continued. Nampala is about 550 kilometres (340 miles) north-east of the Malian capital, Bamako. A defence ministry spokesman said the army had sent reinforcements to Nampala, following the latest attack. There were conflicting reports on whether the militants had subsequently been expelled or were still present in the town. The mayor of the neighbouring district of Diabaly, Oumar Diakite, said seven soldiers had been killed. A military source at the United Nations mission in Mali put the number of deaths at five. He said the identity of those killed had not been confirmed but "they were all wearing military fatigues". The attack came less than a month after Mali confirmed it had freed four Islamist militants in exchange for the release of a French hostage, Serge Lazarevic. Mr Lazarevic was seized by armed men in Mali in 2011 and had been the last French hostage in the region being held by al-Qaeda-linked militants. Those released in the prisoner exchange included two Malian members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) who allegedly took part in Mr Lazarevic's abduction. The other two militants released were believed to be a Tunisian and a man from Western Sahara. Amber Rudd told the Home Affairs Select Committee the inquiry must "look at the historic element of these abuses". She also said that criticisms from the inquiry's former chairwoman, who wrote to the committee, were "not correct". Justice Lowell Goddard's letter said the inquiry should focus on current child protection and future changes. The inquiry was set up in 2014 and announced that 13 initial investigations would look into allegations against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces, public and private institutions and people in the public eye. It has been beset by problems, and last month Dame Lowell became the third chair to quit the inquiry. Giving evidence to the committee, Ms Rudd said there would be no review of the inquiry's terms of reference. "Understanding what happened is so important to getting right what we think is going to help now and in the future," she said. Asked why she thought Dame Lowell had stepped down from her role, Ms Rudd said she believed "ultimately she found it too lonely, she was a long way from home". "I never met her, so I can only conclude from what she set out in the letter that she knew what she was doing, because I thought that the letter was pretty well informed about what the issues were and really show that she cared about the issues. "But she did set out in the letter that she didn't feel she could actually deliver on it," she said. MPs raised a number of questions about the truth of some of Dame Lowell's criticisms, which included saying the inquiry was under-resourced and that she had felt she did not have enough independence in her role. Ms Rudd said it was "incorrect" of Dame Lowell to suggest that the inquiry had suffered from "operational difficulties" and a lack of resources, because the inquiry had spent less than it was allocated last year and returned about £2.5m to the Home Office. "The Home Office and the now-prime minister were always determined to ensure that there were sufficient resources available," she said. Ms Rudd was also asked to respond to Dame Lowell's comments that she had been "handicapped by not being given a free hand to recruit staff". The home secretary said the chairperson could "appoint who they want to the inquiry" and encouraged the committee to put the issue to Dame Lowell "if you feel it is of such importance". Professor Alexis Jay, Dame Lowell's replacement, will be able to reassure the public and survivors, Ms Rudd said, because she is confident the chairwoman aims to "proceed with pace, clarity and confidence" and does not want the inquiry to "go on endlessly". Ms Rudd added Prof Jay would be paid "substantially less" than the £500,000 a year paid to Dame Lowell, and she promised to disclose the new chairwoman's salary to the committee as soon as it was finalised. The BBC understands Apple removed the products as part of a wider switch to favour smart home devices compatible with its own HomeKit platform. However, Apple continues to sell the Thermostat in the UK and across Europe. Nest is owned by Google, which is developing rival technologies to link "internet of things" kit together. The search firm announced in May that it was working on Weave - a library of common commands - and Brillo - an Android-based operating system for IoT machines. Nest's Thermostat can already be controlled via its own iPhone or Android app. The division also promotes its own "Works with Nest" programme, which allows third-party products to communicate with the devices. Mercedes, LG, Whirlpool and Philips are among firms that have taken advantage of the access this grants to Nest's application programme interfaces (APIs) - the code that controls how different software programmes interact with each other. By contrast, Apple is promoting HomeKit - its own platform that lets users control and co-ordinate the use of smart home devices via its voice-activated virtual assistant Siri. The firm requires accessory-makers to prove they have adopted tough encryption standards before it will certify them, and has designed the system to limit the collection of data about who used what and when. "HomeKit introduces a new way for you to control supported devices in your home... and we've taken great care to make sure that the convenience this enables doesn't come at the expense of your privacy," Apple's website states. The first products to support the standard began going on sale recently, including a thermostat made by Ecobee and a light dimmer switch from Lutron. A spokesman for Apple declined to comment about its US sales restrictions, which were first reported by Mashable. Nest's Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detector has also been removed from sale. But a spokesman for the firm said it expected Apple to stock a next-generation version soon, despite the fact it would not be HomeKit certified. This may be because there are no similar alarms yet available for Apple's platform. In an interview before Apple's move, Nest's chief executive told the BBC he was confident his firm was already doing enough to protect people's privacy. "We're taking very much a cross-platform approach," said Tony Fadell. "Through the Works with Nest programme and the protocols that we use inside, it's going to be a very robust thing. "At the end of the day though, customers do not buy platforms, they buy products first and foremost. "So, anybody who is selling a product-like platform or trying to convert you on a platform, they're not going to be successful because that's not where customers start." Read more of Tony Fadell's interview with the BBC Buchanan, 25, joined the Scottish Championship club after being released by League One outfit Dunfermline. He made 36 appearances for Athletic after joining from Airdrieonians last summer. Gallagher, 24, follows Aitken from Stranraer, where he has spent his whole career, playing 44 times this term. Both players have signed one-year contracts with the Sons, who appointed Aitken on Wednesday to succeed Ian Murray, who moved to St Mirrern last week. A 36-year-old male cyclist was thrown from his bike after being struck from behind while travelling west through Eaglesham onto Moors Road on Monday. He was treated in hospital for back and leg injuries and later discharged. Police said a 78-year-old man had been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences. Tripp was born in Canada but represented Germany, where he coached Eispiraten Crimmitschau before agreeing a deal with the Glasgow outfit. And he has ambitious plans to make improvements to his pool of players. "I've had a lot of conversations with friends and people I know - I've got a big list, but there are still plenty of players out there," Tripp said. "I've got an idea of who I want but whether I can get them or not will be the story at the end. You can't always get what you want, but if we can, then it's a bonus." Tripp, 40, spent 12 years in Germany and is excited by what awaits him in Glasgow. "Braehead wanted someone young with good hockey knowledge and I was looking for another challenge," he said. "I had some opportunities in Germany as well, but when this one came up, it was one I wanted to jump on and take advantage of." Hampshire, 14 points adrift at the bottom of the table, closed on 319-6 after new opening pair Jimmy Adams (86) and captain Will Smith (67) shared 160. Michael Carberry, batting at four, made 48, while Barry McCarthy took 2-73. England all-rounder Ben Stokes, on his return from knee surgery, was named in the Durham side but did not bowl. For the hosts, in the chasing pack behind leaders Lancashire, a disappointing day that began with asking Hampshire to bat after winning the toss was compounded by the loss of opening bowler Chris Rushworth to a hamstring injury. In his absence, the medium pace of Keaton Jennings made the breakthrough, enticing an edge from ex-Durham skipper Smith, leading Hampshire in the absence of James Vince on England duty, to end the opening stand. Adams drove McCarthy to mid-wicket five overs later, but Hampshire continued to progress - Tom Alsop and the recalled Adam Wheater also passed 40, the latter in a stand of 74 in only 15 overs with Carberry. They took 28 off five overs delivered with the second new ball, but three wickets for 21 runs at the end of the day gave Durham some late solace. He told MPs this would be "an appropriate means of indicating our sentiments" during the occasion. There was a "profound dignity through silence," Mr Bercow added. The silence will last throughout events on Wednesday, covering the procession from Westminster and the ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral. The chiming of Big Ben, the name often used to describe the Great Bell, the Great Clock and the Elizabeth Tower - clock tower - in the Palace of Westminster, is one of London's most famous sounds. It has not been silenced as a mark of respect since the funeral of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1965, although it was out of action for repairs for a period during the 1970s. In a statement to the Commons, Mr Bercow said he had received "direct and indirect representations" over the best way for Parliament to mark the funeral of Lady Thatcher, who died last week aged 87. He added: "I've considered all of these, but I concluded that the most appropriate means of indicating our sentiments would be for the chimes of Big Ben and the chimes of the Great Clock to be silenced for the duration of the funeral proceedings." Mr Bercow also said: "I believe there can be a profound dignity and deep respect expressed through silence." Responding for the government, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said it was a "very dignified and respectful gesture on behalf of Parliament". "As you know, Lady Thatcher held Parliament in very great reverence in her time both in this House and in the Lords," he said." Lady Thatcher's children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, said they appreciated the "great honour". The former prime minister has been accorded a ceremonial funeral with military honours, one step down from a state funeral. A military rehearsal of the procession took place in central London during the early hours of Monday morning. On Wednesday, Lady Thatcher's coffin will travel by hearse from the Palace of Westminster to the Church of St Clement Danes - the Central Church of the RAF - on the Strand. It will then be transferred to the gun carriage and taken in procession to St Paul's Cathedral. The film - in which Sir Anthony Hopkins made his first appearance as serial killer Hannibal Lecter - was one of 25 new additions announced. Others include Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, classic Disney animation Bambi and Charlie Chaplin's The Kid. The titles were chosen from 2,228 films nominated by the public. Every new addition must be considered "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant in order to be added to the registry. Other additions include the 1979 Sally Field film Norma Rae, Robert Rodriguez's 1992 debut feature El Mariachi and the 1953 version of War of the Worlds. They are joined by such lesser-known titles as A Computer Animated Hand - a one-minute film made in 1972 that is one of the earliest examples of 3D computer animation. The oldest entries are silent films dating from 1912. One documents the pre-World War I child labour reform movement, while the other is a farce starring comic actor John Bunny. Gump, which in 1995 won Hanks his second Oscar for best actor, is the most recent of the new additions. "These films are selected because of their enduring significance to American culture," said James H Billington, who has been the US Congress librarian since 1987. "Our film heritage must be protected because these cinematic treasures document our history and culture and reflect our hopes and dreams."

She follows a distinguished line-up of thespian (male) talent that stretches all the way back to the sci-fi favourite's first episode in 1963. William Hartnell was the first actor to play the Doctor, appearing in the BBC show from 1963 to 1966. Hartnell, who died in 1975, had previously appeared in TV's The Army Game and Carry On Sergeant, the first Carry On film, in 1958. When ill health forced Hartnell to relinquish the role, the Doctor regenerated - for the first time - into Patrick Troughton. Memorably scruffy and eccentric, Troughton spent three years travelling time and space before stepping down in 1969. When the raffish Jon Pertwee became the third Doctor, he also became the first to be seen on television in colour. His tenure, which ran from 1970 to 1974, saw the Time Lord exiled to Earth and working with Unit, aka the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Pertwee's time with the show also saw the first of the popular ensemble stories in which previous Doctors appear alongside the current one. Broadcast over December 1972 and January 1973, The Three Doctors saw him joined by Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell in what would be the latter's final acting engagement. When Pertwee moved on in 1974, Tom Baker moved in - and would become the longest-serving Doctor to date. Deep-voiced, curly-haired and eternally long of scarf, his seven years in the Tardis earned him legions of fans who were delighted anew in 2013 when he popped up at the end of a 50th anniversary special. When Baker finally stepped down from the role in 1981, his shoes were filled by the fresh-faced Peter Davison. The boyish actor spent three years as the Fifth Doctor before taking his leave at the end of the show's 21st series. Davison's tenure coincided with Doctor Who's 20th anniversary, celebrated by a feature-length special that saw him joined by Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton. The First Doctor also made an appearance, with Richard Hurndall filling in for the late William Hartnell. Tom Baker opted not to return for The Five Doctors, which covered over his absence by incorporating material from one of the actor's unbroadcast adventures. Similar subterfuge was required for this 1983 photo shoot, which saw Hurndall, Davison, Pertwee and Troughton joined by an unconvincing Baker mannequin. Davison's departure opened the door for another Baker to take controls of the Doctor's time-travelling police box in 1984. Colin Baker (no relation of Tom's) spent less than three years in the role, with his appearances limited further by an 18-month hiatus in production. Though Baker had limited time to enjoy the Tardis, he did get the chance to meet one of his predecessors when Patrick Troughton returned - for the third time - in 1985. The Two Doctors marked Troughton's final reprise of his signature role. Some years later, his sons David and Michael would both make Doctor Who appearances. Scottish actor Sylvester McCoy took over from Colin Baker in 1987 and played the Doctor until the show's axing in 1989. Michael Grade - the controller of BBC One at the time - was no fan of the programme, which was looking increasingly threadbare and cheap-looking in the face of glossier cinema fare. Some feel, though, that this period in the show's evolution has been harshly judged. An attempt was made to revive Doctor Who in 1996 with a TV film that saw McCoy regenerate into Paul McGann on American soil. It was hoped the special would spawn a TV series but it never materialised, making McGann's tenure the shortest of all the Doctors. In 2005 Doctor Who regenerated into the ambitious, well-financed property it is today. It also introduced a new Doctor in the form of Christopher Eccleston. To the disappointment of many, the Salford-born actor chose to make only one series of the rebooted show. His departure was confirmed only days after his debut episode was broadcast. Eccleston's exit saw David Tennant join the show, with his first full episode - The Christmas Invasion - shown on BBC One on Christmas Day 2005. Tennant's amiable style and enthusiasm made him a popular choice for the role, which he finally relinquished on the first day of 2010. The spate of junior Doctors continued with the casting of Matt Smith, who was just 27 when he made his debut as the Time Lord's 11th incarnation. His four years in the role, which coincided with Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, saw the programme both maintain and bolster its renewed popularity. Doctor Who's 50th anniversary in 2013 was marked by The Day of the Doctor, a feature-length special in which Matt Smith's Time Lord was joined by David Tennant's version of the character. The Day of the Doctor also introduced a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor, known as The War Doctor and played by Sir John Hurt. Peter Capaldi was no stranger to the Doctor Who universe when he was cast as the Doctor in 2013. A lifelong fan of the show, he appeared in an episode of the programme in 2008 and also had a role in its spin-off Torchwood. His hawkish features brought a new intensity, and maturity, to the Tardis from the moment his first full episode was broadcast in August 2014. Capaldi's most recent adventure saw him briefly joined by the "original" Doctor, played on this occasion by David Bradley. Bradley will return in this year's Doctor Who Christmas special. Bradley's appearance was a pleasing one for Whovians after his role as William Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time, a 2013 dramatisation of the show's early years. Jodie Whittaker has been named as the 13th Doctor and the first ever woman to play the role. She will make her debut on the sci-fi show this Christmas when Capaldi regenerates.

Fernandez's first goal for the club was impeccably timed, with Swansea moving 10 points clear of the Premier League drop-zone. "This game was massive for us," Fernandez said after his Liberty Stadium winner. "This was a very important moment for us, now we are able to relax a little." Since losing to Sunderland at home, Swansea have accrued 17 points from a possible 30. "This is a very good step, now we rest and focus on another seven finals," Fernandez explained. "We are not safe yet, we need maybe a point or three more points and to stay calm in the last weeks." Fernandez's first goal for the club might have been a case of child's play as the father-to-be celebrated in a pregnant pose with the ball up his shirt. Fernandez had not scored in his previous 57 Swansea appearances since joining from Napoli in August 2014. But the Argentina defender got lucky when Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan missed Gylfi Sigurdsson's 53rd-minute free-kick and the ball rolled into the net off his right shoulder. "I was going to stop but the ball hit me on the shoulder," said Fernandez. "It was what we needed, it is a goal and you take the chance to score. "Me and my girlfriend Florence are waiting for our first child in September, so it is a very emotional time. "I told her I would celebrate like that if I scored. So it was perfect. "Defending is my job and keeping a clean sheet is what is important. "But to get a goal like that was a special moment, because what is important is that the club stay another season in the Premier League." Aamir Liaquat Hussain had accused liberal activists, bloggers and journalists of blasphemy and treachery. He and the Bol television channel which broadcasts his show have until the end of the month to say sorry to those he accused - or be taken off air. Such allegations can incite murder in Pakistan, where blasphemy is a crime that can result in the death penalty. Even the suspicion of blasphemy has seen victims attacked and in some cases lynched by mobs. Many say Aamir Liaquat courts controversy as a way of gaining popularity. His recent outbursts are seen as a tactic to catapult a nascent news channel into the public eye. As a televangelist, he has been popular with Pakistan's increasingly conservative urban housewives and his shows have topped the ratings in terms of advertising revenue. Geo TV has been one of his recent targets, as have been a number of journalists, authors and left-wing social activists, some of them linked to Geo. He has accused these people by name of offences that range from blasphemy to treachery and fornication. So far, Bol TV's management has been able to fend off efforts to take the programme off air. Can it continue to do so? For now, it seems Aamir Liaquat either stands by his words and risks a ban or he tenders an inglorious apology and lives to fight another day. The regulating body, Pakistan Electronic Media Authority (Pemra), has been investigating Mr Hussain since January after it received hundreds of complaints against his show, Aisay Nahi Chalega (This is Not Acceptable). Among others he accused were five liberal bloggers who went missing for several weeks after criticising the military. Bol TV went to the courts and won the right for the programme to stay on air. The channel now has until the end of March to pledge in writing that it will not broadcast hate speech in future. It must also pay a fine of 1m rupees (£7,600: $9,540) within 15 days. Aamir Liaquat, a former lawmaker, was criticised in 2013 for handing out babies to childless couples during a live TV broadcast. He insisted at the time that the move was aimed at saving abandoned infants and was not simply an attempt to boost his ratings. Aamir Liaquat, who describes himself as "truly a legend" on his website, said: "We were already top of the ratings before we gave away a baby. We took these children from the garbage, from the trash, and delivered them to the needy people." In September 2008, Aamir Liaqat dedicated an entire programme to exploring the beliefs of the Ahmadis, a sect who identify themselves as Muslim and follow the teachings of the Koran but are regarded by orthodox Muslims as heretical. In it, two scholars said that anyone who associated with false prophets was "worthy of murder". Within 24 hours of the broadcast, a prominent member of the Ahmadi community was shot dead in the small town of Mirpur Khas. The three-time world heavyweight champion, a cultural icon, is back home after being discharged on Tuesday night, a family spokesman said. Bob Gunnell said the 72-year-old had made a full recovery and his family thanked everyone for their support. Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, after quitting boxing. He appeared in public at a ceremony in September in his hometown of Louisville for the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards. The name of the hospital where Ali was treated has not been disclosed. Alun Williams, 47, died from a heart attack after being wrapped in cling film and PVC tape during the bondage session, Canterbury Crown Court heard. Richard Bowler, 35, and David Connor, 23, of Sturry Road, Canterbury, deny manslaughter through gross negligence. A post-mortem report said the wrapping had caused Mr Williams to dehydrate. The court had heard that Mr Williams, a head chef for P&O Ferries, would meet men online for sex and that he had an interest in mummification and bondage. He had visited the men at the flat, in East Street, Dover, where Mr Bowler, who suffers from cerebral palsy, and Mr Connor, his informal carer, were then living, the court was told. Mr Williams died on 20 August 2013. Mr Connor told the court Mr Bowler had told him Mr Williams had asked to be wrapped in cling film. The post-mortem report concluded that Mr Williams had been under the influence of drugs at the time of his death. The veteran actress played a struggling mother in the 2016 movie Ma' Rosa, forced to sell drugs in order to make ends meet but who then gets caught in a web of police corruption. She has described the film as a drama that showed "how Filipino families coped and survived, in spite of poverty". Speaking at the awards ceremony a tearful Ms Jose said she did not expect to win. But her win is timely. This is a portrayal that will strike close to home for many in the Philippines, who have just overwhelmingly voted in the maverick mayor Rodrigo Duterte as president on an uncompromising platform of fighting crime and a brutal stance on drug dealers. "The movie digs deep into the heart and soul of Filipinos because her children are forced to endure not only losing their mother but also the sole breadwinner of the family, a situation common in many households," said Ricky Lo, an entertainment editor and columnist in Manila who reviewed the film for the Philippine Star. "Rodrigo Duterte has delivered many hard promises and vowed to minimise, if not, wipe out drug dealers and addicts -what you see in the film. At the same time, it also focuses on what it's like to be poor in the Philippines and brings into sharp focus corruption in the government and the oh-so-slow grind of justice." The film was shot before Duterte declared his intentions of running for president, but this win has highlighted just how potent an issue this is for the country. Jose was already a huge soap star in the Philippines but for this role she underwent a dramatic transformation, taking on the guise of a shopkeeper who turns to drugs to feed her four children. "The biggest challenge for me was not to act. Especially since I am coming from television shows where I play loud and campy characters," she told reporters. But perhaps part of the irony, given that Duterte was elected on an implacable stance against such dealers, is the empathy with which she plays the role. "She delivered a very moving performance and you can't help but be touched by the way she acts, the story will move you as it draws you in on what it's like to survive on the Manila streets." Manila-based movie blogger Daniel Abbey, described the movie as "a cold, hard look at what it means to be poor" in the Philippines. Back in her homeland, there was no short of high praise for Ms Jose's big win. "It's no secret that the Philippines has an amazing pool of creative talent," said Mr Abbey. "This particular recognition at Cannes is sweet, not just because it's a first for us but because we get to showcase our talent to a wider audience." Social media users also tweeted their delight at the win. "Congratulations to Tita Jane, Ms Jaclyn Jose, for her well-deserved win as best actress at Cannes," tweeted Jake Ejercito using the local term for aunt. "Your talent has always been world class." Atom Araullo expressed his excitement: "Amazing win for Jaclyn Jose and a first for the Philippines!" Yusf Pirot, 16, of Arnold in Nottingham said he wanted to show the world that not all Muslims were terrorists. "The reason I wanted to do it was because I grew up in a society where I was being called a terrorist nearly every day," he said. A video of his hugs has attracted millions of views on social media. Another video of a blindfolded Muslim man asking for hugs in the aftermath of the Paris attacks has also gone viral. Yusf said: "This idea was in my head for a long time - I wanted to send a message out to the world and tell them that I am a Muslim - there are 1.7bn of us in the world that doesn't mean that every single one of us is a terrorist. "Deep inside I do care - and it hurts me. "I was really shocked and surprised. I thought it would be a normal video and ... not a big deal. I was like 'wow'." He said he decided to stage his hug event after hearing about the terrorist attacks in Paris: "I was shocked - why would anyone want to hurt another human being … why would they kill innocent people for no reason? "When I was blindfolded I heard a few people saying negative things - one person said to his friend what would happen if I punched him in the face?" The teenager said "some brainwashed people think it is alright to go and blow themselves up … not all Muslims think the same way". Wendy Feargrieve of Calverton, who stopped to give Yusf a hug, said: "He was blindfolded and he couldn't see who was going up to him and what they were going to do. I walked up to him... and he put his arms around me and I told him he was very brave to do what he was doing." Yusf's older brother Salam, who arrived with his family from northern Iraq in 2007, told the BBC: "We are proud of him and what he did." The Falcons led 24-0 at half-time and Ryan found Julio Jones to score a 73-yard touchdown after the break. Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns for the Packers who lost their second NFC Championship game in three seasons. The Falcons will play either Pittsburgh or New England in the Super Bowl on 5 February in Houston at 23:30 GMT. The Patriots hosted the Steelers in the late game, which kicked off at 23:45 GMT on Sunday. The Falcons reached their second Super Bowl - they were beaten by the Denver Broncos in 1998 - with a clinical display in their final game at the Georgia Dome. Ryan completed 27 of 38 passes to throw for 392 of the 493 offensive yards they racked up. He picked out Jones for nine of those completions as the pair combined for 180 yards and two touchdowns. "We played great in all three phases," said Ryan, referring to their dominance on offence, defence and special teams. "We showed up. We did exactly what we've been doing all year. It feels really good." Jose Eduardo dos Santos has been in power in the oil-rich country since 1979, making him the world's second-longest serving president. He is not contesting this election - Defence Minister Joao Lourenco is standing for the governing MPLA party. His main challenger is expected to be Isias Samakuva, from the MPLA's rival in the 27-year civil war, Unita. Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories Is Angola's Dos Santos really giving up power? Under Angola's voting system, people are choosing both the candidate and party in the same election. Analysts says the MPLA, which has been in power since independence from Portugal in 1975, is likely to win. In the previous election, the Casa-CE alliance gained the third most seats. It is led by Abel Chivukuvuku, who split from Unita. Voters queued for the opening of polling stations this morning in Angola's capital Luanda. The elderly were let in first to decide who will replace President Jose Eduardo dos Santos. There is a relaxed mood in the business district of the capital city and everyone has the day off as polling day is a public holiday. The opposition Unita party won 18% of the vote in the last elections. Analysts will be watching closely to see whether the opposition is able to increase its share of the vote this time around. Opposition alliance Casa-CE says up to 20 of its election observers were arrested last night in Luanda for protesting. They were demanding their accreditation to observe the voting, which they had not been given. Protest was banned by the government during campaigning, but the last day of campaigning was Monday. It is not clear if they are still in custody or the exact nature of their charges. The BBC's Mayeni Jones in the capital Luanda says the young have very different priorities to their elders as they head to the ballot box. The emphasis has previously been on stability, following the civil war, which only ended in 2002. But young people have been telling the BBC that they want one thing - jobs. They blame what they refer to as simply "the crisis" for the lack of employment. Critics of the government say rampant corruption means the country's oil wealth did not spread beyond the ruling elite. After the war, Angola was one of the fastest-growing economies in the world because of its huge oil reserves. But when global oil prices dropped two years ago, it affected the whole economy. Given that the majority of the population is below 35, this demographic has a lot of voting power and its demands could be key, our correspondent says. "You need to promise jobs, you need to promise housing, you need to promise study for their children," says political analyst Dalvan Costa. "I think they will decide the outcome of the election." Although Mr Dos Santos is standing down as president, he will remain the head of the MPLA, while his children also hold several key positions.

General Sir Nicholas Carter said his institution should "accept everyone in an inclusive way". He has told hundreds of men and women at Sandhurst to project a "no tolerance" message against prejudice. A recent survey suggested almost 40% of servicewomen had received unwanted comments of a sexual nature in the past year. The report, based on a survey of 7,000 soldiers and commissioned by the Army, also found 13% of women questioned had had "a particularly upsetting experience". Gen Carter told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the Army recognised "the world was moving on, and the Army had to move with it". Asked if he was trying to turn the Army into a "politically correct brigade", he said: "No, I'm not arguing for political correctness, what I'm arguing for is to live by our values and standards and to accept everyone in an inclusive way. "I think there is a risk we will lose sight of our ultimate goal, which is to close with and kill the Queen's enemies, and we have to have that at the forefront of our mind, but equally we cannot accept unacceptable behaviour." According to government statistics, over the past few years the proportion of women in the UK forces has been rising across all three services; the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force. In July 2014, there were 15,780 women serving across the armed forces - or 10% of the total number of personnel. Gen Carter also said the Army had a "problem" with the lack of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) soldiers. He admitted there were not enough soldiers from such backgrounds, and wanted to include more, because he wanted "more talent". "We are on a journey here and I'm making a commitment personally as the head of this institution to try and change that," he said. "Give me time - the effort is there and we are going to do something about it." Soldiers from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups make up just over 10% of the Army's 87,000 regular personnel, slightly less than the proportion in the wider population, but many come from Commonwealth countries, not the UK. Peter Whittingham scored from the penalty spot and a fine individual goal from Kenneth Zohore earned the points for Neil Warnock's side. The result was a blow to the play-off hopes of Preston who had lost just once in nine away games before the defeat. The Bluebirds have pulled 11 points clear of the relegation places at the other end of the table and are 15th. The visitors came closest to open the scoring early on when Jordan Hugill was just inches away from forcing home an Aiden McGeady cross. But it was the Bluebirds who took the lead on 18 minutes when Daniel Johnson brought Junior Hoilett down in the box. Whittingham stroked home coolly from the spot for his 97th goal in a decade at the Welsh club. Just 10 minutes later Warnock's men doubled their advantage thanks to Zohore. The Danish striker surged forward from the halfway line, beating three Preston players before dinking the ball over the advancing Chris Maxwell in the Preston goal. It was the perfect way for Zohore to celebrate his 23rd birthday. Preston almost got a goal back when Ben Pearson forced a good save from Allan McGregor, but then Cardiff saw Hoilett divert a Sean Morrison header onto the bar on the stroke of half-time. Despite early Preston pressure at the start of the second period, Zohore almost scored again on the break on 63 minutes, but this time Maxwell made the save. With striker Jermaine Beckford brought on at the interval Preston pushed to cut the deficit, but found the Cardiff defence, marshalled by the impressive Sol Bamba, in uncompromising form. Warnock's side held out with the minimum of fuss to earn three home league victories on the bounce for the first time in two-and-a-half years. Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock told BBC Radio Wales: "It was comfortable, quite professional. We could have been a bit more greedy and got a few more goals. "It showed how far we have come really. In every area it was pleasing. "You're only as good as your forwards and I thought they were all a threat. Midfield did well too. It was a pleasing night." Preston North End manager Simon Grayson: "It was a disappointing performance and Cardiff haven't worked too hard for it tonight. "We've based our success on being hard to beat and playing attractive football, but we didn't do that. We didn't get anything out of the game and that's what we deserved. "You can't give teams easy goals. We should've managed the game better but we have to accept it, move on and be better." Match ends, Cardiff City 2, Preston North End 0.

And yet the greatest political impact will come more from George Osborne's Spending Review and Autumn Statement than perhaps from David Cameron's decision to extend airstrikes over Syria or Labour's uncertainty over how to respond. Clearly the security crisis prompted by the Paris attacks will not be solved overnight and will give a greater security edge to political debate for years to come. Not for nothing are ministers talking of national security in the same breath as economic security. But the decisions the chancellor makes over how the state spends four trillion pounds of taxpayers' money over the next five years will have greater political resonance when voters go to the polls in 2020. Mr Osborne has two problems to solve on Wednesday. First he has to mitigate his planned £4.4bn cuts to working tax credits which were thrown out by the House of Lords. The chancellor is promising some transitional relief, perhaps by introducing the cuts more gradually or targeting fewer claimants. But he has competing economic and political pressures. If the Chancellor reduces his tax credit cuts, he will have to cut other benefits elsewhere to avoid breaching his self-imposed legal cap on the amount of money the government spends on welfare. Many MPs expect him to make up the difference by targeting housing benefits instead - perhaps by making claimants pay the first 10%. The risk is that Mr Osborne might end up hitting the same people who would have felt the brunt of the tax credit cuts. And that's not the only dilemma. The chancellor needs to soften the tax credit cuts enough to satisfy worried Tory backbenchers and repair the Tory narrative, namely that the party is supposed to be supporting working people rather than reducing their incentives to work. But at the same time Mr Osborne also needs to press ahead with the cuts so he can both avoid accusations of a U-turn, and also ensure that the pain is not delayed till the end of the parliament when he hopes to be leading the Tory Party into the next election. The Spending Review is a five-year projection of government spending. In effect, it decides how £4 trillion of taxpayers' money will be spent by setting caps on government departments. Deep spending cuts are expected as Chancellor George Osborne seeks to balance the books. Explained: Which government departments will be affected? More: BBC News Spending Review special report Problem two for the Chancellor is the impact of spending cuts on the police. On Sunday's Andrew Marr show Mr Osborne strongly indicated that planned cuts to police numbers will go ahead. Now in normal times this would be just another spending reduction that he would have to defend as part of his plans to eliminate the deficit. But these are not normal times and after the attacks in Paris, he will be under some pressure to avoid accusations that he is letting down Britain's guard at a time of increased threat. So Mr Osborne is emphasising his plans to increase counter-terrorism spending, beef up our cyber defences, and spend more on special forces. But the Home Office has one of the larger Whitehall budgets and the chancellor needs to cut spending somewhere. And as with tax credits, the concerns are not just felt on Labour benches: many Tory MPs have warned of late about the potential impact on neighbourhood policing which they argue is needed to combat the threat of terrorism. But all the signs are that Mr Osborne will stick to his argument that fewer police has not meant a rise in crime in recent years, in fact quite the opposite. The bottom line is that finding another £20bn of cuts to public spending will not be easy. It amounts to about a 25% cut for unprotected departments by 2020. The chancellor hinted on the Andrew Marr show that he might even have to water down his target of achieving a £10bn surplus by 2020, something he would be loath to do. He argues, normally, that if you cannot run a surplus after almost a decade of growth, you never will. But when so much spending is being cut, a surplus of this magnitude might be seen by some as a luxury the government can ill afford. As for Labour, after a few weeks of dysfunctionality in response to the Paris attacks, the Spending Review provides the party with the welcome relief of finding some issues around which they can unite. However much they are at odds over the party's broader economic policy, Labour MPs and Jeremy Corbyn are at one in their opposition to cuts to tax credits and police numbers. Two longer term questions will hang over this week's financial announcements. First, this might be the last Spending Review where quite so much government spending is protected from cuts. The blessed quintet of untouchable budgets comprises health, schools, defence, state pension and overseas aid. That amounts to about a couple of hundred billion pounds a year. When spending elsewhere is facing such stringent cuts, people might begin to ask tougher questions and ask why these departments should be exempt from the same financial discipline. This is particularly true of health spending which the chancellor is being encouraged to boost in an attempt to smooth over the row with junior doctors over pay. Second, this might be the Spending Review that finally marks the moment when austerity gains real political saliency. That might sound an odd thing to say after so many years of pain. But over the last parliament, spending cuts were opposed by Labour and other opposition parties but did not appear to change many voters' minds at the general election. Now, as the cuts bear down harder on budgets that are already tight, it might be possible that people will begin to notice that their parks are less well tended, their streets dirtier, their library opening for fewer days, their street lights on for less time, their bus service less frequent, their local care home closing. And if that happens, as we have seen with tax credits, the politics can suddenly get tricky. So there are some tough choices to be announced on Wednesday that will shape politics for years to come. George Osborne may privately be quite content that the political debate will move swiftly on, probably the next day, when the prime minister makes his case for sending RAF jets into Syria. At the very least, those pesky policy wonks from the Institute for Fiscal Studies will get less airtime to mark the Chancellor's homework, as they traditionally do the day after every fiscal event. Tracey Woodford, 47, was found dead in the Rhondda Cynon Taff town in April after being reported missing. Christopher Nathan May, 50, from the Graig area of the town, denies murder. Cardiff Crown Court heard on Wednesday he may have used his butchery skills to dismember Ms Woodford's body. Her severed head was found on a ledge in an "underground chamber" 138m (453ft) inside a storm drain near Pontypridd Rugby Club. Part of her lower torso was also discovered in the drain. "The defendant carried a body part and the head from his flat, through part of Pontypridd, entering a dark tunnel and walking into it for 138m - a significant distance," Roger Thomas QC, prosecuting, told the jury. "You may want to ask: What is going on in this man's mind?" "What's the purpose of displaying the head in that manner?" he added. "It's a very strange thing to have done with it." An expert said the way the body had been dismembered showed whoever had done it, had some "skill and knowledge". The prosecution claimed a witness said Mr May instructed him on how to cut and bone animal carcasses when he had worked in a butcher's shop 30 years ago. "It seems that his experience in butcher shops has been put to use on a human body," Mr Thomas said. He said the cause of Ms Woodford's death was pressure to her neck. However, she suffered many of her injuries while putting up a "desperate but ultimately unsuccessful struggle to save her life", he added. The jury has been told some of the evidence during the two-week case would be "distressing", after hearing how police found remains of Ms Woodford in a bathroom at the flat where the accused lived. She had been reported missing for three days by her family, after last being seen drinking at the Skinny Dog pub in Pontypridd. The jury was told there was a "sexual motivation" for the killing and the dismemberment. It also heard claims Mr May had mentioned in the pub that he "loved redheads" in the days before the killing, and that his affection stemmed from his sincere love for his daughter. Skinny Dog barmaid Rebecca Williams told the court she knew Mr May and had often given him lifts home from the pub. Ms Williams said: "He was a polite gentleman. I never had to say bad words to him at the pub. I never had to stop his drink." She said those at the pub used to call Mr May "little legs" due to his short height. Mr Thomas told the jury earlier in the trial the defendant claimed he either acted in self-defence, it was an accident or he lost self-control. But addressing the court on Wednesday, he said there could only be one conclusion about the killing, and that it was "a perverted sexual desire that manifested itself violently that night". The trial is continuing. The result had begun to seem beyond doubt as judge Theodor Meron analysed the failings of his colleagues in The Hague tribunal's trial chamber - but there was still drama and tension. Finally, in the equivalent of stoppage time, he confirmed what one news agency called "a rare victory for Serbs" at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Momcilo Perisic, the man who led Yugoslavia's army in the mid-1990s, would be acquitted on all charges and released. His convictions - for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity in Sarajevo and Srebrenica - and his 27-year prison sentence were overturned. The former general responded with nothing more than a twitch of his left eye. But his compatriots may feel entitled to be somewhat less restrained. Recent verdicts at the ICTY have left many Serbs with the impression that the tribunal delivers nothing more than victor's justice - jailing Serb defendants while allowing crimes against Serbs to go unpunished. Just three months ago the same appeal chamber, chaired by the same judge, sparked outrage in Serbia when it quashed the conviction of two Croatian generals, Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac. They had previously been found guilty of deliberately targeting civilians during the offensive known as Operation Storm in 1995. Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Serbs fled Croatia en masse. Many are still without permanent homes or jobs and have been unable to recover the property they left behind. The appeal chamber's verdict left them without justice as no-one else has been convicted of crimes against Croatia's Serb minority. The retrial of Kosovo's former Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj, brought another acquittal last November. With a prosecution case riddled with holes, the verdict came as no surprise. But it left Kosovo Serbs in a similar position to their Croatian counterparts. Just two weeks later, the ICTY found a Bosnian Serb commander, Zdravko Tolimir, guilty of genocide for his part in the Srebrenica massacre of 1995. This was justice for the thousands of victims, but coming so soon after the other two verdicts it reinforced the feeling among many Serbs that the tribunal was weighted against them. But the Perisic verdict may help to restore faith in the neutrality of the special court. Serbian human rights activist Natasa Kandic told the BBC that it was an important judgement for all Serbs. "They will see the ICTY is not just trying to prove that Serbs are criminals. They will say the ICTY has proved that Serbia does not have state responsibility for the atrocities in Sarajevo and Srebrenica," she said. But Ms Kandic still has concerns about the way in which the verdict was presented. "The judgement didn't mention the victims. We need additional instruments to gain justice for the victims. This judgement doesn't mention them - 8,000 dead people - where is the justice for them?" Campaigners like Ms Kandic see this as the real failing of the ICTY. For all its aims of providing international-standard justice to the people of the former Yugoslavia, it has provided precious little in the way of reconciliation. From a Serbian point of view, the Perisic verdict adds credibility to the tribunal's other decisions, which have put many ethnic Serbs in jail. But long-term reconciliation in the region may require more than just a judicial process. The Swans, bottom of the Premier League, are hopeful of completing a deal early this coming week. Clement, the former Derby boss and current Bayern Munich assistant, has been in talks with Swansea to become the club's third manager of the season. He was sacked by Derby in February after eight months in charge and was interviewed by Swansea before Bob Bradley's appointment. Clement is likely to be at Selhurst Park on Tuesday when Swansea visit Crystal Palace. He has emerged as the frontrunner for the job in recent days, after Wales boss Chris Coleman, former Manchester United assistant Ryan Giggs and former Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett were also linked with the post. Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer on Match of the Day "It's hard to have sympathy with Swansea. It looks like they'll go back to the old principle of hiring a coach. "It's going to take a miracle from Paul Clement if he's the man to save Swansea." The harbour ultimately owns the land in the area which is leased to Titanic Quarter Ltd under a "master agreement." The court heard "the meaning and operation" of that agreement has been in dispute since at least 2011. The dispute partly concerns the terms under which the harbour should share the cost of infrastructure work. Titanic Quarter Ltd's barrister, Michael Humphreys QC, said his clients have a claim of £9m for disputed infrastructure fees. The firm has previously said it was having difficulties advancing new projects with Belfast Harbour under the master agreement. It described these difficulties as "the most significant impediment to the group's future progress". A temporary exhibition centre opened at Titanic Quarter last year but a number of other projects have not been started despite having planning permission. Those include two film studios which received permission in August 2014. Friday's hearing dealt with preliminary matters and a full hearing is expected to take place later this year. This is the full statement to the inquests from his son, Craig Fitzsimmons. His sister, Dorothy Griffiths, also provided a pen portrait of her brother to the inquest. Vincent Michael Fitzsimmons was born to Bob and Joan Fitzsimmons in Liverpool on 30 January, 1955. He had an elder sister, Dorothy, and a younger brother, Robert. Dad went to school in Liverpool before moving to the United States of America with his parents at the age of 13. He lived there for three years before returning to the UK, settling in Winsford shortly afterwards. Profiles of all those who died In 1973, dad met mother, Susan Bukojenski, whom he courted for three years until they were married in 1976 at the Northwich registry office. I was born in 1980, and was my parents' only child. Unfortunately, mum and dad divorced in 1987, but dad still spent a lot of time with me. I understand it was a difficult time for both my mum and dad, but they both assured me I was not too affected by the divorce. Dad moved and went to live in Ashton-in-Makerfield. He would come and pick me up from home on a Friday night after work and I would stay with him at the weekend. He would take me home either on a Sunday night or early on a Monday morning. I loved going to stay with him because he would always make sure that there were treats for me. He used to take me to the cinema and swimming at the weekends. Dad was larger than life, as far as I was concerned, and could do no wrong in my eyes. I loved him so much. He had a zest for life. He was friendly, outgoing and full of fun, and he was a very popular person, having lots of friends. He loved music and there was always music in our house. I was so lucky to have him as my dad. I was just nine years old when he died. Dad was extremely hard working and he was very ambitious as well. He worked at Linpak Mouldings for 16 years. During his time, he had worked his way up from being an operator to charge hand and eventually to being a supervisor. He even went to college to complete a managerial course as he knew that this would enable him to get more promotions. Dad used to encourage me to pay heed and listen to what the teachers told me at school, as he was always telling me a good education was so important. He was always very patient with me when I was doing my homework. He helped me with my reading and spelling. I was impatient with my schoolwork, but my dad used to sit with me until I completed it. He encouraged me all the time to take care with my homework. We both loved sport. Well, I suppose I got my love of Liverpool from my dad. He was an avid supporter of Liverpool and he used to take me to the Kop, lifting me up so that I wouldn't miss any of the match. We spent many happy hours watching, listening, talking and indeed playing football. If I close my eyes now, I can see my dad playing football. He used to take me with him when he went training. Dad had a season ticket for Liverpool Football Club for the year 1988-89. I was lucky enough to attend several games with him during that year. I know he tried his hardest to get me a ticket for the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough, but he couldn't get me one. When dad died, it left a huge void in my life. I suppose I never really got over the fact that I lost my dad so suddenly and in such an awful way. I have missed his love, support and advice over the years. He was not present on the day that I got married and the birth of his first grandchild. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers says liquid air can compete with batteries and hydrogen to store excess energy generated from renewables. IMechE says "wrong-time" electricity generated by wind farms at night can be used to chill air to a cryogenic state at a distant location. When demand increases, the liquid air can be warmed to drive a turbine. Engineers say the process to produce "right-time" electricity can achieve an efficiency of up to 70%. IMechE is holding a conference today to discuss new ideas on how using "cryo-power" can benefit the low-carbon economy. The technology was originally developed by Peter Dearman, a garage inventor in Hertfordshire, to power vehicles. A new firm, Highview Power Storage, was created to transfer Mr Dearman's technology to a system that can store energy to be used on the power grid. The process, part-funded by the government, has now been trialled for two years at the back of a power station in Slough, Berkshire. More than hot air The results have attracted the admiration of IMechE officials. "I get half a dozen people a week trying to persuade me they have a brilliant invention," head of energy Tim Fox told BBC News. "In this case, it is a very clever application that really does look like a potential solution to a really great challenge that faces us as we increase the amount of intermittent power from renewables." Dr Fox urged the government to provide incentives in its forthcoming electricity legislation for firms to store energy on a commercial scale with this and other technologies. IMechE says the simplicity and elegance of the Highview process is appealing, especially as it addresses not just the problem of storage but also the separate problem of waste industrial heat. The process follows a number of stages: IMechE says this process is only 25% efficient but it is massively improved by co-siting the cryo-generator next to an industrial plant or power station producing low-grade heat that is currently vented and being released into the atmosphere. The heat can be used to boost the thermal expansion of the liquid air. More energy is saved by taking the waste cool air when the air has finished chilling, and passing it through three tanks containing gravel. The gravel remains cool until it is needed to restart the air-chilling process. Highview believes that, produced at scale, their kits could be up to 70% efficient, and IMechE agrees this figure is realistic. "Batteries can get 80% efficiency so this isn't as good in that respect," explains Dr Fox. "But we do not have a battery industry in the UK and we do have plenty of respected engineers to produce a technology like this. "What's more, it uses standard industrial components - which reduces commercial risk; it will last for decades and it can be fixed with a spanner." In the future, it is expected that batteries currently used in electric cars may play a part in household energy storage. But Richard Smith, head of energy strategy for National Grid, told BBC News that other sorts of storage would be increasingly important in coming decades and should be incentivised to commercial scale by government. He said: "Storage is one of four tools we have to balance supply and demand, including thermal flexing (switching on and off gas-fired power stations); interconnections, and demand-side management. Ultimately it will be down to economics." Mr Dearman, who also invented the MicroVent resuscitation device used in ambulances, told BBC News he was delighted at the success of his ideas. He said he believed his liquid air engine would prevail against other storage technologies because it did not rely on potentially scarce materials for batteries. "I have been working on this off and on for close on 50 years," he told BBC News. "I started when I was a teenager because I thought there wouldn't be enough raw materials in the world for everyone to have a car. There had to be a different way. Then somehow I came up with the idea of storing energy in cold. "It's hard to put into words to see what's happening with my ideas today." John Scott, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), added: "At present, pumped-hydro storage is the only practical bulk storage medium in the British grid. "However, locations are very restricted," he told BBC News. "In the future, if new storage technologies can be deployed at a lower cost than alternatives, it would benefit the power system." A spokesman for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) said it would shortly launch a scheme to incentivise innovation in energy storage. Other grants are available from Ofgem. Follow Roger Harrabin on Twitter: @RogerHarrabin Ten men have been detained in connection with the incident, which happened early on Saturday morning. But none of them resemble the six alleged attackers who were caught on CCTV burgling the convent before the 74-year-old nun was raped. The nun is being treated in a Kolkata (Calcutta) hospital. Monday's protesters - ranging from schoolchildren to elderly people - held banners with slogans such as "Save Women" and "Save India". Similar demonstrations have been reported in other parts of the country. A BBC correspondent in Kolkata says the rape case and recent attacks on churches have made Indian Christians feel insecure, although it is not clear whether the assault on the convent was sectarian. The attackers ransacked the convent school in Ranaghat and stole money before raping the nun in the convent itself. The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has promised swift and strong action against those involved. The special police service of the state, the CID, has taken over the investigation. Christians prayed and lit candles during Monday's vigil. Kolkata Archbishop Thomas D'Souza said in a statement that it was important to ensure that "an inhuman act" like this should not take place again. "It has brought a lot of shame and pain to all concerned". The police are investigating reports that the attack on the nun could have been an act of revenge. The Calcutta Telegraph reports the convent had received threats after the recent expulsion of a pupil. "The principal of the school called me up and sought police protection. After receiving the complaint over the phone, I took the initiative of sending policemen there. The policemen rushed there and dispersed the troublemakers," senior police official Rajarshi Mitra told the newspaper. Father D'Souza said the assailants in Saturday's attack stole money from the school, vandalised the chapel, broke open the tabernacle and took away the ciborium - the sacred vessel used during Mass. Christian groups have recently held protests in the capital, Delhi, saying they are being targeted and demanding better protection. Some highlight a series of recent attacks by vandals on churches in the city. Concerns over rape are particularly high in India at the moment after the government banned a BBC documentary earlier this month that featured an interview with an unapologetic rapist. Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to the blaze in a newsagents at Maidstone East railway station at about 20:00 BST. Operator Southeastern said the line had since reopened but there may be delays. Passenger James Richardson, from Charing, Kent, said he saw smoke coming from the roof of the station when his train arrived there at 20:00 BST. "They made everyone get off the platform," he said. "The fire brigade came and were trying to put it out." During the fire, train services did not run between Ashford and Otford. Helen Grant, MP for Maidstone and The Weald, tweeted: "Shocking to hear news of fire at Maidstone East Train Station which is next door to my constituency office. I await further updates." On Thursday, Bank of England governor Mark Carney hinted at the likelihood of an interest rate cut, aiding borrowers and hitting savers. Then on Friday, Chancellor George Osborne cleared the way for an easing of further austerity. That makes it far less likely that the UK's vote to leave the EU may lead to additional tax rises or spending cuts. Mr Carney told business leaders in a speech at the Bank of England that a deteriorating economic outlook meant "some monetary policy easing" would be required in the summer. The Bank's main tool of monetary policy is its key interest rate which already stands at a record low of 0.5% and has done since March 2009. Another part of the toolkit is quantitative easing, or, in effect, money printing. A rate cut to 0.25% by the Bank of England would take around £20 a month off a typical £160,000 mortgage. "If the Bank of England base rate is reduced again, fixed and tracker rates will get even cheaper. Mortgage rates have been consistently lowered over the last few years for all types of borrowers as the lenders try to tempt more borrowers into action," said Aaron Strutt, of mortgage brokers Trinity Financial. Others say there is a chance that fixed rates, having dropped already, might not automatically follow a Bank rate fall. Many industry commentators are expecting a slowdown in activity in the UK housing market as potential buyers and sellers, and mortgage customers, take a wait-and-see approach. A rate cut would bring further pain for savers who have been receiving little interest since the financial crisis. The average cash Isa (an Individual Savings Account) pays 0.67% interest, according to Bank of England figures. Savings income is likely to drop even further were there to be a drop in the Bank rate. "Although for many years now there has been a marked separation between the Bank of England base rate and rates offered on savings accounts, we would expect to see many providers using a drop in the Bank of England base rate, or even the suggestion of it, as an excuse to drop savings rates further," said Anna Bowes, of rate tracking service Savings Champion. Osborne 'to abandon 2020 budget surplus target' How will Brexit affect your finances Markets shift after Carney speech What has Brexit done to the economy? Mr Osborne, in his speech, is abandoning a plan to achieve a budget surplus by 2020. This could allow for more borrowing to mitigate any negative economic effects of uncertainty around the referendum result. Practically for UK residents, this means less immediate need to increase taxes and make further spending cuts if national income does decline as some expect. Recent years have seen a string of austerity measures, not least a cap on public sector pay rises, which were driven by this surplus target. The greater government debt that was expected following Mr Osborne's decision would still have to be paid off in the long-run, warned Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. "Spending will eventually be lower, or taxes higher, than would have been the case had the referendum vote gone the other way," he said. Other aspects of our finances have been affected by Brexit in the week following the vote. The movements in the markets - initially a big fall followed by a stronger recovery - means the average pension pot investment is stronger than a week ago. Clearly, this is only on paper, and becomes a financial reality when that pension part is cashed in or converted into an annuity, or retirement income. Some providers have cut the rates available on annuities following the referendum, making the offer less generous, in what is a one-off decision. Officers were called at about 23:40 BST on Thursday following reports that a gun had been fired in the Marsh area. The 24-year-old local man was found injured in Waverley Terrace and was taken to hospital with head injuries, West Yorkshire Police said. Two men, aged 23 and 22, have been arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. Det Sup Simon Atkinson said the man's condition was "serious but not considered to be life-threatening". ''At the present time we are treating this incident as a targeted attack," he said. ''We believe the man was shot as he was travelling in a car with two other men on Heaton Road. The suspects are thought to have been in another vehicle when the firearm was discharged. "The other passengers in the vehicle were not injured in the incident." Rovers went in front after 17 minutes when Lewis Vaughan fed the striker, who expertly lobbed Jamie Langfield. After the break two goals in two minutes sunk the Saints' challenge as Vaughan broke from a corner to tee up Ross Callachan. McManus intercepted a through-ball ahead of Langfield and left the goalkeeper stranded for Raith's third before Ryan Hardie's consolation. Match ends, Raith Rovers 3, St. Mirren 1.

Manager Brendan Rodgers now has two trophies in his debut season, following League Cup success in November, and has a Scottish Cup semi-final with Rangers to look forward to. Unbeaten in all domestic games, the Celtic class of 2016-17 are already in record-breaking form. Here are a few of the key numbers behind their successful league defence. No Scottish champions have gone unbeaten since the 19th Century. Celtic (1897-98) - P18 W15 D3 L0 - and Rangers (1898-99) - P18 W18 D0 L0 - both managed the feat, but those campaigns were less than half the duration of the current one. In the SPL/Premiership era, Celtic lost once in their 2013-14 and 2001-02 successes. In season 1967-68, both winners Celtic and runners-up Rangers were beaten just once. The longest unbeaten league sequence in the modern age is 32, set by Celtic in 2003-04. The current side have played 30. Celtic set a remarkable record of 62 unbeaten league games from 1915-17, although that is some way behind Steaua Bucharest's 106 (1986-89). The previous record was SEVEN set by Rangers in 1928-29 and equalled by Celtic in 2013-14, both over 38-game campaigns like this one. Paris Saint-Germain set a new European mark last season when they finished 31 points clear in Ligue 1, bettering the 29-point margin of victory Celtic managed in 2013-14. Rodgers' side are currently 25 points ahead of Aberdeen in second place. The Scottish record is 103 points, set by Celtic in 2001-02, Martin O'Neill's second season in charge, with Rangers 18 points adrift. Only Welsh side Barry Town AFC have completed a top-flight campaign with more; 105 in 1996-97 and 104 in 1997-98. Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the other European sides to have hit 100 or more in a term. If Celtic can keep on winning, there are a possible 110 up for grabs this time. Celtic will need to average three goals a game over the home stretch to reach the 105 they scored in 2003-04. The current league average is 2.7 goals per game without a single blank return. In 1966-67, under the legendary Jock Stein, Celtic netted 111 goals in 34 Division One games, returning an eye-watering 196 in all competitions on their way to a domestic treble and European Cup glory. This record can only be equalled if Craig Gordon doesn't let another goal in. Between them, Celtic pair Fraser Forster and Lukasz Zaluska kept 25 Premier League shut-outs in 2011-12. England keeper Forster established a league record of 13 consecutive clean sheets, with the run finally ending on 1,256 minutes. Celtic have conceded 18 goals in their 30 league games so far. Close but no cigar. This season's run came to an end with a 1-1 draw at home to Rangers on 12 March. The record stands at 25; set by Celtic in 2003-04. The European best belongs to Benfica, with 29 across two seasons from 1971-73, while Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb managed 28 from 2006-07. Scott Sinclair banged in a hat-trick against Hearts to overtake team-mate Moussa Dembele by one in the Scottish Premiership scoring charts. They each have a long way to catch the SPL/Premiership era record of 35 set by Celtic hero Henrik Larsson in 2000-01. Motherwell's William MacFadyen 52 goals in 1931-32 may never be beaten. Again, Celtic are chasing a record of their own, with 33 games won in the 2001-02 season. A 100% run from here on in would take the champions to 36. If Celtic were to go on and lift the Scottish Cup, it would be the club's fourth domestic treble. Rangers hold the world record with seven clean sweeps. Still some way to go to reach the Old Firm benchmark of NINE set by Celtic (1965-74) and equalled by Rangers (1989-97) and nowhere near the European best of 14, held jointly by Latvians Skonto Riga and Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar. And where did Rodgers' reign begin? That's right, with a 1-0 defeat away to the Red Imps in July, a result widely seen as the worst in the club's history. That seems like a long time ago now.

Celtic wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title with Sunday's 5-0 victory at Tynecastle.

The Mayor of London accused the government of having no clear strategy just two months ahead of a deadline to formally trigger the UK's exit from the European Union (EU). Mr Khan said a "muddled Brexit" would be as damaging as a "hard Brexit". The Department for Exiting the European Union has yet to respond to the mayor's speech. In his speech to business and political leaders on Thursday, night the Mr Khan said: "It's deeply concerning that we still appear to have muddled thinking at the heart of government. "The only thing that would be as damaging as a hard Brexit would be a muddled Brexit. "And - unfortunately - it looks like that is where we are heading unless there's a change in tact and direction from our government." The Mayor said a negative Brexit impact for London would hit the whole country. "If the proper agreements aren't negotiated and we don't get the necessary transitional agreements in place, there'll be serious knock-on impacts on our future - with jobs and billions of revenue lost," he said. "Revenues used to deliver public services and much, much more. "This would hit the entire country, not just London." Downing Street has previously said the prime minister will give a speech next week "setting out more" on the government's Brexit plans. Theresa May's official spokeswoman said: "She will be making a speech on Tuesday, setting out more on our approach to Brexit, as part of preparing for the negotiations and in line with our approach for global Britain and continuing to be an outward-looking nation."

A "muddled" Brexit would cost London heavily in terms of jobs and investment, Sadiq Khan has warned.

General Thomas Waldhauser, head of US Africa Command, said there had been half a dozen attacks in the last month. About three million Somalis face food insecurity and a national disaster was declared last month. Piracy was rampant off the Somali coast until increased patrols by European naval forces contained the problem. US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis expressed concerns about the resurgence of Somali piracy during a visit to the American military base in Djibouti. Mr Mattis suggested commercial vessels should consider stepping up onboard security to guard against attacks at sea, saying the situation is being monitored but there was no plan of an immediate response. One reason for the increase in the attacks is famine and droughts in the region, as some of the vessels targeted were carrying food and oil, Gen Waldhauser told a press conference. "The bottom line is there have been a half dozen or so [incidents]," he said. "We're not ready to say there is a trend there yet but we'll continue to watch." The number of attacks peaked in 2011 before dropping to zero, mainly as a result of naval patrols and improved security measures by shipping companies. Last month, an oil tanker was hijacked by suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia, the first such hijacking in the region in five years. The vessel was en route from Djibouti to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, and was then diverted towards the port of Alula in the semi-autonomous Somali region of Puntland. Some of the men who are blamed for the attacks deny the allegations of piracy, saying they are fishermen who suffer from foreign trawlers fishing illegally in the area. Somalia is one of four countries in Africa and the Middle East identified by the United Nations as currently at risk of extreme hunger and famine. The humanitarian crisis is the result of drought that has been partly caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon which has affected east and southern Africa but all four countries are also suffering from conflict. Readers agreed and voted its "tranquil forests, astonishing wildlife, wonderful beaches, lochs and streams" as holiday destination of the year. Now a strategy is poised to be adopted to build on that reputation for the next five years. But what are the points it hopes to draw on to attract people to Dumfries and Galloway? £330m Tourism value target (currently £300m) 2.6m Visitor numbers (currently 2.43m) 7,300 Direct and indirect jobs (6,969 at present) The draft strategy highlights a number of potential "growth sectors" for tourism in south west Scotland. They include what it calls "nature based tourism" including attractions like the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and the Dark Sky Park in Galloway Forest. Outdoor activities and arts, culture and heritage are also seen as key areas alongside the likes of food and drink. Another aim of the strategy is to make the region the "leading rural year-round festivals and events area in Scotland". It already boasts a number of high-profile attractions like the Big Burns Supper, Spring Fling, Wigtown Book Festival and Wickerman Festival (although that is on a break this year). It will host a stage of the Tour of Britain in September, as it has on numerous occasions in the past. The region is also home to a wide range of smaller events and festivals. The goal is to "build better awareness" of these in order to boost visitor numbers and overnight stays. A wishlist of infrastructure requirements for making the area "fit for purpose and for customer needs" is also included in the document. Broadband to meet the needs of rural trade, mobile phone network access and better signposting are seen as vital aspects of building the region's reputation. Improving transport, attracting inward investment and creating and maintaining countryside access are also high on the agenda. Colin Smyth, who chairs the council's economy, environment and infrastructure committee believes the ambitious targets for Dumfries and Galloway's tourism can be achieved. "Tourism is recognised within our economic strategy for the region as one of the main drivers," he said. "The spend of visitors in the region has broken the £300m mark last year and that supports somewhere in the region of 6,000 to 7,000 jobs. "So it is absolutely crucial to the local economy but we want to build on the achievements that we have had so far." He said they wanted to build the reputation of the region as a place where people could enjoy the "fantastic natural beauty and events and festivals" it has to offer. The 21-year-old, who was the reserve driver for Mercedes in 2015, takes the first of two vacant Manor seats. Wehrlein won the DTM German Touring Car Championship in 2015 and has experience of driving F1 cars in testing. "Pascal is a sharp driver with a very promising future," said Manor boss Stephen Fitzpatrick. "We've chosen a driver with the talent and hunger to match our ambitions." Wehrlein, who has a deal with Manor for the entire season, said: "Manor Racing is a great place for me to start my F1 racing career. I'm very pleased to be here. "It's a small and totally focused team and I soon hope to know everyone. "Though it's my first F1 season my aim is to help Stephen and the guys achieve their goals. It will be a tough challenge but I think we should be able to challenge for points along the way. It's going to be good fun." Wehrlein also thanked Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff, who helped engineer the move as part of Manor's new engine partnership with Mercedes. Alexander Rossi and Will Stevens, who drove for Manor in 2015, and Indonesian rookie Rio Haryanto are all in the frame to partner Wehrlein. Wehrlein's opportunity for increased experience in F1 comes amidst uncertainty over the future of Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, whose contract expires this year. Wolff has said he will make no decision on Rosberg's future until he has seen the first part of the 2016 season. If Rosberg continues his current high level of performance and the relationship between the German and three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton remains manageable, Mercedes are likely to retain Rosberg, at least for one more year. But giving Wehrlein some experience increases their options. They are also keeping an eye on Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, both of whom are under contract to Red Bull beyond the end of 2016. Verstappen's deal runs until the end of 2017, while Ricciardo's lasts for a year longer. They have struggled at the back of the grid since entering F1 in 2010 but have undergone a major restructure in an attempt to improve. Team founder John Booth and president Graeme Lowdon left at the end of last season after agreeing future plans with Fitzpatrick, who saved the team from oblivion by buying it in early 2015. Fitzpatrick has recruited experienced former McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan as racing director to run the team. He has also brought in leading technicians Pat Fry and Nikolas Tombazis, design engineers sacked by Ferrari at the end of their winless 2014 season. The research reported lower sales and turnover, with poorer profit growth. Those taking part in the study expected turnover to increase by only 1% in the next 12 months. The business monitor is conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and Grant Thornton UK. It found year-on-year profit growth has fallen from 6% in the second quarter of 2014, to 3.3% in the latest figures. There has been a similar trend in sales volumes and turnover, with export growth being especially hard hit. ICAEW Scotland President Andrew Hewett said: "It is disappointing to once again see a drop in confidence amongst Scottish businesses, particularly when it takes us into negative territory. "This is part of an ongoing decline in confidence in Scotland, which can perhaps be attributed to ongoing uncertainty. "The aftermath of the referendum, the run up to the general election, the forthcoming Holyrood elections and the possibility of an EU referendum combine to mean that there is, potentially, an even deeper degree of uncertainty in Scotland than there is elsewhere in the UK, a feeling which is reflected in Scottish confidence levels." The research found companies were scaling back on recruitment plans. The number of employees was reported to have increased by 0.7% over the past 12 months. The UK figure for the same period was 2.2%. Companies in Scotland expected their workforce headcount to increase by just 0.3% over the next year. The monitor pointed out that, with Scotland's greater dependence on the public sector, UK government plans to cut spending will combine with a slowing of private sector job creation to "impact dramatically" on the Scottish labour market. Grant Thornton UK managing partner in Scotland Kevin Engel said: "This significant drop in confidence north of the border is naturally concerning, particularly given Scotland is the only part of the UK showing such a marked negative trend. "The quarter examined covers the pre-election period, which could go some way to explain the downward shift in confidence. "However the Scottish business community is historically resilient. Now is the time for that tenacity in the face of challenging conditions to come to the fore to resist the potential dip in economic performance that may follow." The 12th minute looked like it might prove pivotal as Chester goalkeeper Alex Lynch saved a one-on-one with Jamie Allen before Kane Richards went straight down the other end and headed in from Elliott Durrell's cross. The Blues built on their good fortune and James Alabi nodded home at the back post from a Ryan Lloyd corner to make it 2-0 on the half-hour. However, the Sandgrounders dominated the second half to salvage a draw. Andrai Jones eventually ended Lynch's stubborn resistance, crashing in a shot from 25 yards to reduce the deficit to 2-1. And then, with time ebbing away, Ben McKenna worked the ball to Jamie Allen, who volleyed past Lynch from outside the box. Report supplied by the Press Association.

Reel Cinemas has signed a 15-year lease with St Modwen, the developer behind plans for a large retail complex. The move has angered London and Cambridge Properties, the owners of the town's existing shopping centre, which is threatening legal action. But West Lancashire Borough Council said blocking the move would be a "betrayal" of local people. Reel Cinemas is the anchor tenant in the plans which will see 100,000 sq ft of new leisure and entertainment as well as improvements to public spaces and a new high street. Managing Director Naveen Suri said: "We are 100% committed to the scheme and we will deliver a cinema to Skelmersdale." A spokesman for London and Cambridge said it was disappointed with the move. "The St Modwen's scheme has caused confusion and doubt for operators, who would need to invest significantly and need absolute assurance that there will not be a competing scheme on the doorstep," said a company statement. But Councillor Frank McKenna, from the Labour-led council, said stopping the plan would be a "betrayal of the people of Skelmersdale as this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity". He added: "We've had many, many promises in the past, never been able to deliver on them - this will be delivered as long as London and Cambridge stand aside and don't take this to judicial review." If the plans go ahead, it will be the first cinema in Skelmersdale since the Empire closed on Elson Road in the 1980s. Utility back Anscombe, 24, played the final 25 minutes of the Blues' 34-26 Challenge Cup loss at Harlequins. "I got a taste of it in terms of being part of the squad for the last Six Nations," he told BBC Wales Sport. "It would be nice to get on the field after the World Cup success and failure at the same time." Anscombe had ankle surgery after Wales' World Cup quarter-final exit to South Africa. The New Zealand-born player also started at full-back in the group-stage loss to Australia after making his debut as a replacement fly-half in a pre-tournament friendly against Ireland. He could be in line for another appearance at full-back against Ireland in Dublin in February if Liam Williams is not fit, despite being seen more as a fly-half by his region. "There's a lot of competition for places in that [Wales] team, that's really helped with the performance of that team over the last couple of years" said Anscombe. "Liam's a quality player and he's coming back from that foot injury, and Hallam [Amos] certainly showed what he can do [in his try-scoring return for the Dragons]. They've got their options." Blues head coach Danny Wilson has no doubt that Anscombe is ready for a Six Nations role. "It was just great to get him back on there," Wilson said. "I thought he looked good picking different options in our attacking game that he hasn't had much time to fit into. "Like all these boys, it'll take a bit of time to get the lungs and legs going at that kind of intensity but we all know what kind of quality player he is." Wilson is hoping that Wales captain Sam Warburton can make his return from an ankle injury against Calvisano on Friday. "I'm hoping that Sam will come through this very short week's training and if he does, and passes the relevant tests, he'll be available for selection on Friday." Cardiff Blues will have to win well against the Italians and hope that other results go their way to have any chance of a quarter-final place in Europe's second-tier competition. Williams was criticised by a section of the travelling fans when he replaced goalscorer Ajose after 75 minutes. Vale, who were 2-1 up at the time, won the game 3-2 to move above the Robins. "Luke getting pelters when I got took off surprised me a bit. I'm not (Cristiano) Ronaldo, I'm allowed to be subbed," he told BBC Wiltshire. "A player can't come back from a fatigue-based injury and play 90 minutes the next week. It was meant to be 60 so I think Luke pushed me a bit playing me for 75." Former Manchester United trainee Ajose has scored three goals in seven games since returning to the County Ground on loan from Charlton. Despite back-to-back defeats leaving them four points adrift of safety, the 25-year-old is confident the Robins can avoid relegation to League Two. "We probably need to win half our games to stay up. It's still in our hands, we've just got to put some wins on the board," he added. "We've got enough quality to beat anyone. We just need to find the consistency." Wales Stronger in Europe argues EU membership keeps Britain safer, stronger and more secure. The group, which says it has cross-party support, held its first meeting in Cardiff on Monday. It is the Welsh arm of Britain Stronger in Europe, which includes former Plaid Cymru leader Lord Wigley on its board. Meanwhile BBC Wales has confirmed that its director Rhodri Talfan Davies would step away from any involvement in BBC coverage of the referendum campaign due to his father's involvement with Wales Stronger in Europe. "I believe nothing should be allowed to detract from the quality of our journalism or risk endangering the trust of our audiences," he said in an email to BBC Wales staff. Colonies of several hundred ants show consistent differences in the way they behave, just like individual people do. Certain behaviours go together - for example, a colony that explores more widely for food also tends to respond more aggressively to an intruder. Such a colony has a more "risk-taking" personality and this was more common in the north, where the climate is colder. "I'm really interested in why personalities exist," said Sarah Bengston, a PhD student at the University of Arizona who led the research. Her study is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Ms Bengston explained that although we know most animals have personalities, we do not yet understand why these evolved. "Sometimes individuals behave differently from one another, and when they do that repeatedly through time, we say that they have a personality." As such, there is nothing to stop a colony of insects from having a personality - as Ms Bengston found when she tracked how colonies behaved up and down the western US, both in the wild and when she bundled them up and watched them in the lab. Once back in the lab, whole colonies of 200-600 ants could be filmed inside transparent containers, and the videos analysed to measure things like the level of physical activity and aggressive behaviour. But some measurements, such as how far the ants would go foraging for food, had to be done in the field. To gather this data, Ms Bengston followed thousands of ants in the great outdoors, mostly in pine and juniper forests. She tagged them with pink fluorescent powder and chased them through the leaf matter on her hands and knees. "I've done an awful lot of crawling," she told the BBC. "It can get a little tedious but it's also a lot of fun, because you get to see a lot of natural behaviours that we wouldn't necessarily see in the lab. "I spend a lot of time looking slightly like a crazy person on the side of hiking trails." Other research has shown that collective properties, like how much the ants explore, or their aggression levels, can vary from colony to colony. But this is the first study that has measured multiple "dimensions" of personality - and found that some of them group together. "We found that there was a trade-off in foraging effort, versus nest defence," Ms Bengston said. Both of these behaviours relate to how the colonies handle risk. "Some colonies are much more happy to take risks in their daily activities, while other colonies are a lot less likely to take risks." Furthermore, there was a shift in these personality traits across the north-south range of the colonies studied, from Washington to Arizona. This suggests that the environment is an important factor in determining a colony's personality. The study does not reveal exactly what it is about the change in latitude that produces different colony behaviour, but Ms Bengston suspects that the long northern winter plays a role. "We suspect that it might be related to the time that they have to reproduce," she said. "In the more northern climates, the snow pack melts pretty late and then they have a very short window in which they need to acquire all of these resources, to reproduce. So they might have to take more risks in order to do that." Follow Jonathan on Twitter The Gunners had numerous chances but were unable to break down a resilient Saints side, who have now gone four games without conceding. Away keeper Fraser Forster was superb, making a string of impressive saves, including two to deny Mesut Ozil. Arsenal are now winless in four league games and drop to fourth in the table, five points behind leaders Leicester. Arsene Wenger's side are also now two points behind both second-placed Manchester City and north London rivals Tottenham, who are third and have a superior goal difference. Worryingly for the Gunners boss, who opted not to recruit another striker in the recent transfer window, his side have now gone three Premier League games without scoring. The result is further proof of the resilience Ronald Koeman has instilled in Southampton, who won 1-0 at Manchester United 10 days ago and are seventh in the table after picking up 10 points in their last four matches. On Boxing Day, Arsenal lost 4-0 at Southampton - their only truly heavy defeat of this league campaign and a result that cost them the chance to go top of the Premier League at Leicester's expense. The Foxes' victory over Liverpool on Tuesday meant that Arsenal would not have gone top even with a win over Southampton, but this will be just as frustrating a result as the one they suffered at St Mary's. Credit must go to Koeman's side for their defensive display but that does not excuse the Gunners for their pedestrian start and the chances they missed. Ozil should have scored twice in the first half but Forster was alert and nimble to block his close-range shots and in the second half a host of players had good opportunities, including Olivier Giroud, who had a shot and header tipped away, and Laurent Koscielny who headed over from six yards out. Alexis Sanchez was typically lively in his first league start since the end of November, but was also unable to find a way past the Saints keeper as the Gunners made it three games without a goal for the first time since February 2009. It is no coincidence that Southampton's recent resurgence and newfound resilience began with the recovery of Forster from injury. Prior to the England keeper's return, the Saints had lost eight of 10 games in all competitions, conceding 19 goals, but have since kept three clean sheets in winning three and drawing the other of their four matches. On the evidence of his stellar performance at the Emirates, the 27-year-old will be challenging Joe Hart for a starting spot in the England team at this summer's Euro 2016. During the course of the game he made 10 big saves and dominated his area. In front of him, Jose Fonte and Virgil van Dijk were also superb, keeping the physical Giroud at bay while Victor Wanyama and Oriol Romeu restricted the space available to Ozil, Sanchez and Joel Campbell, who was later replaced by the equally anonymous Theo Walcott. The only negative in Southampton's performance was their inability to make the most of their chances to attack, with Sadio Mane particularly wasteful in a performance that stretches his run of games without a goal to 10 in all competitions. Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "We put the energy level in and created chances. I cannot fault the team on that front. It is not only luck. I don't believe too much in luck. We feel disappointed and guilty. In a game like that when you create chances you want to win. We had the chances to win it. But their keeper kept them in it. "You have to always think the opponent will play well and despite that still score. We had all kind of chances and it looked like it would come. But sometimes you lose these games." Media playback is not supported on this device Southampton boss Ronald Koeman: "One point away at Arsenal is a good result. To get a good result you need to be lucky and we had that on our side. We had good defending and great goalkeeper. But we needed to create more. "He is a fantastic goalkeeper. Sometimes you think you can't score because he is massive. Maybe today was his best performance. We are happy he is the keeper of Southampton." Arsenal are away at Bournemouth in the Premier League next Sunday, while Southampton host West Ham the day before. The Tykes led on 38 minutes when Barnsley defender Marc Roberts headed in from close range. But Blues buckled after home midfielder David Davis was red-carded for his second booking on 71 minutes. Davis's former Wolves youth team-mate Winnall then cashed in, scoring twice in the final six minutes. Barnsley took the lead seven minutes from the interval when Davis was booked for a foul on Sam Morsy and Roberts found the bottom corner after getting his head on Conor Hourihane's resulting right-wing free-kick. Off-colour Blues had a penalty shout on Lukas Jutkiewicz turned down before he became part of a double substitution on the hour which brought on Greg Stewart and Che Adams. But Barnsley twice went close, Hourihane putting his curling shot just over and Tom Bradshaw's shot being tipped over by home keeper Tomasz Kuszczak, before Davis was sent off, following his foul on James Bree. Winnall was then twice set up by Hourihane to head home, on 84 and 87 minutes, to end Barnsley's poor run, earning them their first win in five games, while Blues lost at St Andrew's for the first time in eight league matches. Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett: "We were not good enough, although 3-0 flatters them. We had opportunities and caused them problems. You could see that they had not won for a while and they were determined to do something about it. "We have not played well in the last three or four games. We got results, but didn't play well enough and, against Barnsley, it was a culmination of not playing well. "We have lost four games in 18 matches, so there is not too much wrong, but against Barnsley we were nowhere near that level." Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom: "For the last two weeks we have been working really hard on set-pieces. It is important and it paid off against Birmingham. "We have only had one defeat in six games. We've only had two matches this season when we have not been in the game. "This is the level of performance you need to be successful in the Championship. Sometimes you have to admit that is not good enough against some teams with the quality they possess." Match ends, Birmingham City 0, Barnsley 3. Second Half ends, Birmingham City 0, Barnsley 3.

The vice president said "America needs to go big on infrastructure" investment. Rail infrastructure in the US lags many other developed countries, particularly in terms of high-speed trains. The new trains, which Amtrak expects to begin running in 2021, will have initial speeds of up to 160mph, but will be capable of speeds up to 186mph. "We need these kinds of investments to keep this region - and our whole country - moving, and to create new jobs," said Mr Biden. America's Northeast corridor, which includes Washington, New York City, and Boston is one of the country's busiest route networks. Amtrak recorded 11.7 million riders along that route in 2015 - its highest number on record. "The Northeast corridor is a national economic engine that carries a workforce contributing $50bn annually to the national GDP," said New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. They were taken while the vehicles were parked overnight outside Caernarfon ambulance station in Gwynedd over the Easter weekend.

It urged anybody with information to contact North Wales Police. Ashurst, 24, has made 17 league appearances, scoring four tries for Iestyn Harris's side this season. He joined the Red Devils from St Helens in October 2011 and joins Craig Hall and Mickael Simon in James Webster's squad at Belle Vue for next term. "I'm excited for a new challenge," said former Chorley Panther Ashurst. "Webbo [Webster] really sold the club to me and the work ethic that is in place there - and I'm just looking to come and work hard and do my part for the squad." Media playback is not supported on this device Adam Morgan gave the National League North hosts the lead from 30 yards and then added his second from close range. Morgan volleyed home for his hat-trick, before the League One Dons scored three in three minutes through Tom Elliott, Dominic Poleon and Tyrone Barnett. Elliott headed in his second in added time to send the Dons into round three. AFC Wimbledon had only reached the third round once before - losing 2-1 to Liverpool in 2014-15 - and they appeared to be set for a surprise exit from this year's competition when former Reds trainee Morgan scored a spectacular opener inside the first 60 seconds. Curzon Ashton, who are only four points above the relegation zone in National League North and were bidding to reach the third round for the first time, looked to be cruising through when 22-year-old Morgan added two further goals either side of half-time to extend their lead. But the Dons were handed a lifeline when goalkeeper Hakan Burton failed to make contact as he tried to punch a corner clear, allowing Elliott to convert from close range, with Poleon's second goal a carbon copy of the first. Tyrone Barnett's header then brought the visitors level, before Elliott took advantage of more poor defending from a free-kick to complete a dramatic turnaround and spark jubilant scenes in the away end. Media playback is not supported on this device Despite seeing their hopes of a potentially lucrative third-round tie against Premier League opposition end in the space of 15 minutes, Curzon Ashton manager John Flanagan said his side will "soon recover" from the defeat. "Adam Morgan's scored a hat-trick and he's not on the winning side, but at the end of the day, I don't feel any worse for him than I do for any of the others because they've all put absolutely everything in," he told BBC Radio Manchester. "I'm really proud of everybody, they've done a great job. We've entertained, we've contributed to a really good game of football and made it exciting. "I'm sure everybody in the area was shouting for us and they were probably as gutted as us when that final goal went in." Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley also paid tribute to the Dons' opposition, admitting that he did not think his side would recover after falling three goals behind. "I thought their third goal could be the killer blow but I've got a set of boys in there who don't give up, who fight for everyone, and once we got back to 3-1 I knew we would have enough chances," he said. "Part of me feels very, very sorry for Curzon because I thought they were absolutely incredible - they counter-attacked brilliantly and scored some good goals." Ex-Coventry and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin: "When you're in a situation, when you're that far ahead - both in goals and quality - you've got to shut up shop. They were basically in the hat. But their defending was terrible, there was no leadership. "The players have just got to dig in and pull their sleeves up and do whatever it takes. But for 15 minutes they switched off and got punished. "To come back like that, to show the resilience and the belief in each other, regardless of who the opposition is, that's something Wimbledon will remember for the rest of their lives too. The manager didn't panic, the players didn't panic and they felt they were still in the game." Former Wigan and Reading forward Jason Roberts: "I feel so sorry for them. People like Adam Morgan, who was at Liverpool, had an opportunity to show his quality and he did that and scored a hat-trick - but nobody is going to remember that now because they lost the football match. "In sport you have moments that'll live with you forever - and the Curzon Ashton manager John Flanagan knows he'll be talking about that for the rest of his life."

After asking for clemency because of his mother's serious illness, the fierce critic of the Kremlin was freed suddenly after being given a pardon by President Vladimir Putin. He was flown to Germany where he announced he would stay out of politics and would not return to Russia unless he was sure he could leave again. Analysts have suggested that Khodorkovsky was singled out by Mr Putin when he came to power in 2000 as president and set about breaking the hold of the much-loathed oligarchs who had flourished under his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin. Whatever his influence in business circles, he was never a popular figure with the Russian public, who identified him with the country's chaotic move to a market economy in the 1990s, when tens of millions were left impoverished. Supporters of Khodorkovsky, 50, seek to portray him as the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. Khodorkovsky had made his fortune - estimated by Forbes magazine to be more than $15bn (£9.72bn) - from the controversial privatisation of Soviet state assets. A native of Moscow and the son of two engineers, he had studied at Mendeleyev Chemistry Institute and began his career as a loyal Soviet-era Communist Party member, running a computer import business under the wing of the party's youth movement (Komsomol) in the 1980s. In 1987 - four years before the fall of the USSR - he founded what would become Menatep, one of post-Soviet Russia's first private banks. He made his first millions in the 1990s when the bank acquired massive amounts of shares in companies that were privatised for bargain prices. Fertiliser firm Apatit was bought in 1994, later becoming the focus of the initial trial against Khodorkovsky and his business partner, Platon Lebedev. His business empire, prosecutors later claimed, was little short of a gangster operation and Apatit shares were alleged to have been picked up illegally via the use of umbrella companies. In 1995, Khodorkovsky acquired Yukos at a state auction at the knockdown price of $350m. It had come close to folding but now Yukos became Russia's second biggest oil company, pumping one in every five barrels the country produced. It began publishing its accounts to international standards and was soon seen as one of Russia's most transparent, well-run companies with international investors clamouring to own shares. Khodorkovsky even served as deputy fuel and oil minister during Yeltsin's presidency. He was first arrested in October 2003 on charges of tax evasion, fraud and embezzlement. Jailed in 2005 for eight years, he was tried again two years before his release date on further charges of embezzlement and money laundering. He is due for release in August 2014. His lawyers maintained the charges against him were trumped up, carried out on the orders of senior figures in the Kremlin who objected when his activities strayed into the political arena. Khodorkovsky had provided funding to nearly all political parties, including the communists, and acquired the rights to publish the prestigious Moskovskiye Novosti newspaper. He also hired a well-known investigative journalist critical of Vladimir Putin. He had made no secret of his support for the liberal opposition to Mr Putin. When asked about Khodorkovsky on live television before the second trial verdict was read out, Mr Putin said simply, "a thief should be in jail". The European Court of Human Rights also criticised the trials yet rejected claims they were politically motivated. Yukos filed for bankruptcy in 2006 while Khodorkovsky was serving his first sentence at a Soviet-era labour camp in the Chita region of eastern Siberia, 4,700km (3,000 miles) east of Moscow. He was moved in 2011 to a prison camp in Karelia, near the Finnish border. In August, when his prison sentence was reduced and an early release date was set for 2013, he continued to insist that the cases against him had been fabricated. In an address to the court by video link, he argued that the judiciary was being manipulated by politicians. "Whether we are talking about elections or business affairs or even mutual relations in matters of faith, the words 'a criminal case has been initiated' are key," he said. In an interview for BBC News earlier this year, Khodorkovsky's mother Marina said: "Because our courts are unfair, it is hard to stay strong. But people need to be honest, tell the truth and speak out. They should not be afraid." After 10 years in custody, and with his business empire gone, it is questionable how much influence Khodorkovsky would have in Russia again, were he ever to return. The name means "mines" - a reference to the coalmines that once employed so many, but have now shut. On the edge of town is a tiny, crumbling Soviet-era museum about the history of the coal industry and the glorious miners of the River Don. Today, the museum has been turned into an aid centre. Inside there are volunteers packing clothes, food and medicines for people fleeing the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Local Cossacks are co-ordinating the relief effort. A deputy Cossack commander called Andrei draws my attention to an old map of Rostov region and eastern Ukraine up on the wall. It dates back more than a century. "This all used to be our land, the land of the Don Cossacks," Andrei tells me, pointing to Ukraine's Luhansk region. "This is our common history, it's our people. That's why we're helping." It's not just the Cossacks who've been remembering the past. Russian politicians - including the president - have been publicly stating that what is now south-east Ukraine was, under the Tsars, a Russian region called Novorossiya. It helps explain why some Russians have been providing more than just humanitarian aid to those across the border. About 80km (50 miles) from Shakhty, in the Russian city of Rostov, I talk to Yuri. A long green mask and dark glasses hide his face. He's agreed to this midnight meeting to tell me about his group's activities. Via the internet, Yuri has been recruiting Russians to fight in Ukraine on the side of separatist rebels. He says it's to protect the people of Novorossiya. On its website, the group recently advertised for tank drivers, helicopter pilots and for people who know how to operate rocket launchers. Kiev has identified this organisation and its website as one of the main recruiting grounds for Russian fighters in Ukraine. "There is a saying," Yuri tells me. "You can't do good without using your fists. Sometimes it's necessary to take up arms to protect those who need defending. We call it 'armed charity'." The group says it was their volunteers who led the attack on Donetsk airport last month. During the fierce battle, the insurgents suffered heavy losses. Later more than 30 bodies were repatriated to Russia. "Different categories of people become volunteers," Yuri explains. "They can be young people or much older. During the battle for Donetsk airport, one of the volunteers was 56 years old. He showed everyone how it should be done. The country can be proud of people like this. "Some of the volunteers are quite well off, they've giving up the good life to do this. Others have nothing to lose." Yuri denies that the Russian government backs the volunteers, or that they receive weapons from the Russian army. How, then, does he explain reports of separatist fighters riding Russian tanks? "Russian tanks are like Kalashnikov rifles, you can find them all over the place even as far away as Thailand," Yuri says. "They're very popular for armed conflicts. Yes, they're made in Russia. But who knows how they got there?" Moscow has repeatedly denied sending troops or military hardware across the border. But Western governments maintain that among the fighters in eastern Ukraine are professionals funded, equipped and supported by Moscow. What's more, in recent days Nato and Washington have accused Moscow of massing troops on the border. "Unfortunately, there is mounting evidence that shows a build-up of Russian military forces near the border with Ukraine," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Friday. "Contrary to the statements by Kremlin officials we do not see any evidence that the Russian military units arriving to the region are connected to any type of border security mission…. We will not accept any use of Russian military forces under any pretext in eastern Ukraine." It's not only Russian volunteers who have taken up arms. At a hostel near Rostov I meet a group of Ukrainian citizens, who've fled the violence. Most of the people here claim to have male family members who've stayed behind in eastern Ukraine to become militants. They blame Ukrainian government forces for the deaths of civilians. Robert tells me about his son who has become a rebel in their home town of Luhansk. "I hope my son kills 2,000 of those Kiev bandits," Robert says. "If he does, I'll build a statue to him. He'll be my hero." Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko believes his peace plan can end the fighting. But that won't be easy. This conflict has opened a Pandora's box of nationalist sentiment and hatred which may now be difficult to control. Vaughan Gething said "institutional abuse" found at Glan Clwyd Hospital's Tawel Fan unit was not typical of the NHS care received by patients. Families said patients at Tawel Fan were treated like animals in a zoo. But a north Wales AM said people lacked confidence that Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board was being brought to account. The health board has apologised for the "inexcusable and unacceptable" treatment. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have repeated their call for an inquiry into the NHS in Wales. Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies told BBC Sunday Politics Wales there had been "a long line of failures on behalf of Betsi Cadwaladr health board". He said: "It's important now that Welsh government, instead of wringing their hands, actually step in and take decisive action to address these shortfalls." 'It was probably a mistake keeping him in there' Asked if the findings were damaging for Labour, Mr Gething said: "I think that families affected by what happened in Tawel Fan will take real exception to people trying to use what happened there as somehow a party political failing or a party political triumph on one side or another. "This is about families who've been let down by a service that could and should have served them and their loved ones properly and in this case it did not. "That stands in stark contrast to the regular pattern of care that people receive day in and day out right across Wales. "I think any minister in this department of any political party would be appalled as I am as to what happened and would have a clear expectation that the health board properly address in a timely manner the failings that have been revealed and laid bare for the wider public to see." Liberal Democrat AM for north Wales Aled Roberts said people in the region "were getting pretty alarmed with regard to the regularity of these reports with regard to failings within our health system up here". He added: "I don't think at the moment the people of north Wales have sufficient confidence that the health inspectorate and the Welsh government in particular are actually holding this health board to account." The formal adoption papers for Jacob came through last month, after he had already been living with his new family for a year and a half. Scott, a senior manager for Adoption UK in the east of England, said the couple were initially approached to foster Jacob, as social workers were struggling to find a family for him. This was not part of a formal foster-for-adoption scheme - but Scott and Tristan quickly decided to apply for adoption. "It was sheer coincidence that he happened to fit with the structure of our family," said Scott. Jacob was over seven years old before he met his permanent family - so he had quite a lot of history to come to terms with, some of it disturbing. Part of the adoption process has been to ensure there is enough on-going support for Jacob in his new family. But, according to Scott, Jacob is thriving and has "changed beyond recognition" in the 18 months he has been with them. He has moved from a school for children with behavioural difficulties to mainstream education and has been able to "close some of the chapters on his previous life". The family are planning a big party to formally welcome Jacob. Life was not without its challenges - sometimes there was friction between the three boys, "but that is part and parcel of being a parent - it's a bit like a conventional family having to adjust to a new baby", said Scott. Both Scott and Tristan admit to having "fought like cat and dog" with their own siblings as children, and this has helped them accept the challenges of parenthood. "The thing I have come to accept is that there is never a normal day," said Scott. "Socially and emotionally, they all have to face challenges every day. "That's just life with children. We just suck it up and get on with it. The Constitutional Chamber of the Salvadorean Supreme Court declared illegal the appointment of Security Minister David Mungia Payes. He is one of the main architects of the truce, which was agreed in March 2012. Gang leaders gave a news conference in jail criticising the court's decision. The Supreme Court also ruled on Friday that the government must replace the country's police chief, Francisco Salinas. The court says both jobs must be held by civilians. The two men are army generals. The decision put the lives of Salvadoreans under risk as it threatened the future of the non-aggression pact agreed last year, the gang leaders said. But they renewed their commitment to carry on with the ceasefire, provided it was backed by the security authorities. President Mauricio Funes says he disagrees with the ruling but will accept it. "I have no doubt that behind the arguments of the court is a very clear anti-military bias," said Mr Funes in his weekly radio address. He promised to appoint replacements in the next few days. LA gang culture Leaders representing the Mara Salvatruchas (or MS-13) and 18 Street gangs said they hoped the new security minister and police chief would support the truce. MS-13 and the 18 Street gangs were created in the 1980s in Los Angeles in the US by poor, mostly illegal, immigrants who had escaped from the civil war in El Salvador. When the conflict ended, with a peace treaty signed in 1992, many of those already in jail in the US were expelled and deported to El Salvador, exporting LA's gang culture to Central America. El Salvador's neighbours, Honduras and Nicaragua, also saw an increase in gang violence. In March 2012 the two gangs agreed to a ceasefire, mediated by the Catholic Church, which has sharply reduced the number of murders in El Salvador. Murder rates have dropped dramatically since the gangs agreed to stop killing each other last year, the government says. The gangs continue operating in several American cities. Last year, the US Treasury designated MS-13 as a "transnational criminal organisation". South African sides Cheetahs and Southern Kings are set to join the league for the 2017-18 season. Derbies are likely to be protected even with a split, but Williams says the league should not complicate matters. "I think you should just go with a league. I know there's extra games to be played, but just play each other home and away," Williams said. "It'll be so confusing if you've got two conferences, two of seven and working out who plays who. "We've got to keep all our Welsh derbies, because they're the games that bring the crowds in." Former Cardiff Blues open-side Williams, who won 100 Wales caps and played four British and Irish Lions Tests, admits that the Pro12 does have to change to survive. "Ultimately it's all about money... you're up against two absolute juggernauts of league in the Aviva and Top 14, England and France respectively," the 41-year-old told The Friday Night Social. "The Pro12 needs to look at other revenue streams because it's not quite working as it is. "The South Africans... will be stronger than the Italian teams and in fairness the people in charge of the Pro12, it's not a knee-jerk reaction it's something they've gone through and obviously the numbers work. "If someone is a casual supporter then it will bring a little bit more spice into the league. "If I was a player I'd definitely be excited about that prospect, something different and another test." Tens of thousands of NHS nursing and doctor posts are vacant. The statistics, obtained by the BBC, show the scale of the NHS recruitment crisis. Health unions blame poor workforce planning, but officials say the NHS has more staff than ever before. Data from a BBC Freedom of Information request shows that on 1 December 2015, the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland had more than 23,443 nursing vacancies - equivalent to 9% of the workforce. In comparison, the average vacancy rate across the UK economy from November to January 2016 was 2.7%, according to the Office for National Statistics. The figures - which include 106 out of 166 trusts and health boards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - also revealed: There are many reasons for the large number of vacancies in nursing and doctor posts on hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. One simple reason is that more posts now exist, but the number of trainees has not kept up. In the wake of the 2008 financial crash, nursing places were cut, although they are now on the way back up. The BMA suggests it takes around 15 years between a medical student starting out at university and becoming a consultant so planning the NHS workforce supply and demand is a complicated process with a long lead-in time. But there are also increasing pressures on the health service right across the UK which the NHS is having to respond to - a growing population that is older and sicker, with more complex health needs. In plain language "complex health needs" means more than one thing going on at a time, so an elderly person might be having to cope with arthritis, diabetes and heart problems. But one other important factor is the "Francis effect" - the report by Sir Robert Francis into the scandal at Stafford Hospital identified a shortage of nurses as a key factor in the poor care of patients. Trusts in England in particular have been under pressure to recruit more staff. But when there is a shortage of qualified nurses they have resorted to expensive agency staff and that in turn has led to a growing financial crisis. Vacancy rates in Scotland are published quarterly and so comparable figures are not yet available. In England, many hospitals are having to rely on expensive agency workers to make up the shortfall in staff. That has been identified as a key factor driving a growing financial crisis within the health service. 69% of UK trusts are actively recruiting abroad for doctors or nurses 23,443 nursing vacancies in England, Wales & Northern Ireland 9% vacancy rate for nurses 6,207 doctor vacancies 7% vacancy rate for doctors One solution to the staff shortage adopted by many trusts is employing doctors and nurses from overseas. The BBC also asked trusts and health boards across the UK whether they were actively recruiting staff from abroad, and in this case Scottish hospitals were also able to answer. The figures show more than two-thirds - 69% - of all NHS trusts and health boards are seeking staff overseas. And in just England and Wales, the figure is nearly three-quarters of all trusts and health boards - 74%. Some are travelling from as far afield as India and the Philippines. Maca Fernandez Carro is a nurse who is originally from Bilbao in Spain, but has worked at Royal Bolton Hospital since 2014. She told BBC Radio 5 live: "There was no opportunities for us back home. The options were having a three-month contract [in Spain], or coming here with a permanent position. "Nursing is so different back home. When we qualify [in Spain] we are expected to do all the techniques that over here you'd need extra training [for]. "So we do a four-year degree, instead of a three-year one, so we have an extra year in which we train the technical part of nursing. "Even though we are really under pressure, and really, really stressed - I like working for the NHS." Matthew Hopkins, who is the chief executive of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that employing more agency workers compromised patient safety and care. "The difficulty with running a relatively high vacancy rate is it does inhibit the ability to provide the best care for our patients," he said. "We have to supplement our staff with agency workers who are not part of the team on a regular basis and therefore the quality of teamwork, which we know has the biggest impact on patient care and patient safety, is compromised." Ian Cummings, the chief executive Health Education England, told the same programme the nursing shortage in the NHS had been partly caused by "quality failings" - such as the Mid Staffs scandal. "The quality failings in the NHS have caused our regulators and hospitals to look very carefully at how many nurses they need to deliver safe and high quality care. "So the hospitals, for roughly the same number of beds compared to three years ago, now have a need for 24,000 more qualified nurses," he said. Meanwhile, the Royal College of Nursing and the British Medical Association blame poor workforce planning for the problems hospitals are having in finding qualified staff. Janet Davies, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "Nursing posts are often the first target when savings need to be made, leading the NHS to find itself dangerously short and having to spend more on agency staff and recruitment from other countries." A spokesman for the doctor's union the BMA - which is currently locked in a dispute with the government in England over a new contract for junior doctors - said: "Poor workforce planning means we aren't producing enough doctors and sending them to the right areas," he said. However, in a statement, the Department of Health in England said: "Staffing is a priority — that's why there are already over 29,600 extra clinical staff, including more than 10,600 additional doctors and more than 10,600 additional nurses on our wards since May 2010." But the statement also acknowledged that "much more needs to be done", and said the government was "changing student nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals funding to create up to 10,000 more training places by the end of this Parliament." A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "There are now more doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics and dental staff working in the Welsh NHS today than there were 10 years ago. "We will continue to do all we can to support recruitment initiatives proposed by health boards and trusts and to address recruitment and retention at a national level." Viewers in England can see more on this story on Inside Out on BBC One at 19:30 GMT. Metrolink tickets are set to rise by an average of 6% next year, with some fares rising by 7.3%. The Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority said fares had been frozen for the past two years, and trams and track had been improved. But local MPs Graham Stringer and Tony Lloyd said the rise was "unjustified". Mr Stringer, Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton, and Tony Lloyd, Labour MP for Manchester Central, tabled a House of Commons motion saying the decision was taken "without any consultation and at a time when services have been disrupted because of the extension of the Metrolink system". They are calling for immediate consultation on the issue. The rise means an adult peak-return fare will increase by 20p and a peak-return for a child by 10p, in the majority of cases. An annual season ticket for an adult, from Altrincham to Manchester, will go up from £875 to £930. A spokesman for the transport authority said the rise is lower than the change in the Retail Prince Index (RPI) in the past two years. Councillor Ian Macdonald, authority chairman, said: "We have considered the latest fare changes, which come into effect in January, in detail and believe that they represent value for money, while also ensuring that the network can continue to compete with other types of transport in offering popular, good quality services." He said the authority had considered a request by Mr Stringer for public consultation but said they thought it was not appropriate. "It is our role to ensure that we balance Metrolink revenues against the growing costs of running, improving and expanding the network, he added. "For passengers, there is no ideal time to increase fares but we can assure them - and Mr Stringer - that any change will always be the least it can be." The bank intends to axe clerical roles in Scotland, Wales and south-west England. It is understood about 20 branches face closure, although the bank has not confirmed details. RBS, which is 73% owned by the taxpayer, has cut around 1,350 posts out of a workforce of 12,000 staff in its branch network since mid-March. The move is part of the bank's plans to slim down from a sprawling international bank to a UK-focused lender. RBS currently operates nearly 1,100 RBS and NatWest branches. The lender said its strategy reflected the changing nature of how customers use banks. It said branch counter transactions had fallen by 43% since 2010, while digital usage had jumped by 400% over the same period. A spokesman for RBS said: "Banking has changed significantly over the last few years and the way people want to interact with us is also changing. "We have to continually adapt to meet our customers' needs and to ensure we remain viable and relevant both now and in the future. "We review our branch network regularly to make sure the services we provide are appropriate for each local community, based on customer usage and other ways to bank in the local area. "Where we do have to make the difficult decision to close a branch we will always tell our staff and customers first." He added: "Any reduction in roles is clearly difficult news for staff affected by these changes. "We are doing everything we can to support them, including seeking redeployment opportunities wherever possible and ensuring that compulsory redundancies are kept to a minimum." RBS boss Ross McEwan said at the bank's annual meeting last week that the "heaviest restructuring" of the bank will be behind it by the end of the year as it presses ahead with cost-cutting plans. RBS reported a first-quarter pre-tax loss of £968m last month - more than double last year's figure of £446m. In his first interview since the collision, Morgan said he still suffered "headaches and nosebleeds" as a result of the collision. And he choked back tears as he recalled the day he learned his friend, James "Jimmy Mack" McNair, had been killed. A Wal-Mart truck crashed into the back of Morgan's limo in June 2014. He was left in a coma for two weeks, with a traumatic head injury, a broken leg, nose and ribs. Prosecutors allege the driver had not slept for more than 24 hours. Morgan settled a legal case against Wal-Mart last week for an undisclosed sum. The supermarket chain previously reached an agreement with the family of Mr McNair, 62, who grew up with Morgan in New York. "I'm happy that Wal-Mart stepped up to the plate in a tremendous way, and they took full responsibility," the 30 Rock star told Matt Lauer on NBC's Today Show. "I'm happy they looked out for Jimmy Mack's family." Clutching a cane, Morgan said he had been "up and down" since the crash, but his daughter, son and fiancee, Megan Wollover, "keep my spirits up". He explained he did not learn of McNair's death until he emerged from the coma. He later found footage of his fellow comedian's funeral online and "lost it for about a week." "He was a loving man and he was a warm man," Mr Morgan said through tears. "He was a good man. It's just hard for me to see that he's gone. That's it. "Bones heal but the loss of my friend will never heal." Asked if he hoped to return to the stage, he replied: "I love comedy. I'll never stop loving her. And I can't wait to get back to her, but right now, my goal is just to heal and get better. "Because I'm not 100% yet. I'm not. And when I'm there, you'll know it. I'll get back to making you laugh. I promise you." Media playback is not supported on this device Doncaster, promoted as WSL 2 runners-up, make their top-flight return after being controversially demoted in 2014.

Official figures show that only the North East and Scotland saw smaller house price rises than London over the past 12 months. House prices rose 1.5% in London in the year to the end of March, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. A year ago, prices were going up by nearly 15% year-on-year in the capital. That was still slower than the peak in April 2000, when annual house price growth in London was 28.3%. The recent slowdown in house prices will be cheered by potential first-time buyers, who have seen property values rise at a much faster rate than interest on savings. The shift is not just in London. In March, house prices were lower in every nation and region of the UK compared with the previous month except for Wales (up 1.4%) and the West Midlands (up 0.3%). Across the UK as a whole, the ONS said house prices were down 0.6% compared with February, meaning the average home cost £215,848. This typical property value has remained relatively static for 10 months. In the year to the end of March, house prices were up 4.1% on average across the UK. The value of semi-detached homes were rising at the fastest rate (up 5.3%), with the prices of flats rising slowest (up 3.5%). "It is now abundantly clear that the housing market is in its softest patch for several years," said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, pointing to early indications of a significant fall in prices of new-builds. "Looking ahead, it is very hard to see growth in central London prices recovering, given that valuations look stretched, the financial sector is facing an uncertain post-Brexit future and volatility in sterling is undermining property's safe-haven appeal for overseas investors. "Across the rest of the UK, house price growth looks set to remain dampened by sluggish growth in wages and the loan-to-income limits imposed on lenders." Sarah Beeny, owner of estate agent Tepilo, said: "Homeowners should not worry about a crash as the chronic shortage of properties available - the main reason sales transactions are down - will ensure prices remain buoyant."

London private rental prices grew by 1.4% over the same period. Where can I afford to live? Twenty foreign tourists, an Indonesian guide and four crew were on board when the boat foundered near Sangeang Api, a volcanic island off Sumbawa. Ten people were rescued initially and another 13, including all the crew, were found alive early on Monday. They are being treated in hospital for trauma and dehydration as a search continues for the remaining two people. The Indonesian military has joined the search to find the two remaining tourists, a Dutch man and an Italian woman. Speedboats and a helicopter have been deployed, but authorities say rescue efforts are hampered by bad weather and high waves. Officials said the incident took place when the boat, sailing from Lombok island to Komodo island, hit a wave that was 3m high and crashed into a reef. It sprung a leak and sank. Rescue officials told agencies that the second group were found together by fishermen. Some of them were in a lifeboat while others were floating in their lifejackets. The survivors were now recovering in Sape city in Sumbawa, they said. Survivors said that as the boat started sinking, some got into a lifeboat which could only take up to seven passengers. Others climbed onto the roof of the boat which had not yet completely sunk. They eventually split into two groups when it became clear that there were not enough lifeboats nor communication tools to call for help. One group decided to swim six to seven hours to reach Sangeang Api, while the others stayed with the lifeboat. French survivor Bertrand Homassel was in the first group. He told AFP: "We were 5km (three miles) from the coast and there were many big waves separating us from the coast. People started to panic and everyone took the decision to swim to the closest island." After spending the night on the island by eating leaves and drinking their own urine, that group was rescued by a passing boat on Sunday. The other survivors who stayed with the lifeboat, who were rescued on Monday, were in the water for about 40 hours. Dutchman Jan van Ommen said people took turns to spend time in the lifeboat and float in the water with their lifejackets. "So we had this system, and in the beginning it was not easy... but later on the system went on, and we changed and changed," Mr van Ommen told AFP. The other tourists came from the UK, Germany, Spain, and New Zealand. The UK Foreign Office says two British nationals were hospitalised following the incident. The BBC's Alice Budisatrijo in Jakarta said the boat was on a three-day journey through some of Indonesia's most picturesque islands. Boats are the main form of transport in some parts of Indonesia, but accidents are common because of poor safety standards. There is no known antidote to the drug, the chief neuroscientist at the hospital in Rennes said. Of the five men in hospital, three could have permanent brain damage, Gilles Edan added. Reports that the drug is a cannabis-based painkiller have been denied by the health ministry. The trial, which involved taking the drug orally and has now been suspended, was conducted by a private laboratory in Rennes. The experimental drug was manufactured by the Portuguese company Bial. All those who volunteered for the trial have been recalled and the Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation. Health Minister Marisol Touraine pledged to "get to the bottom... of this tragic accident". "I was overwhelmed by their distress" she told reporters. "Their lives have been brutally turned upside down". By James Gallagher, health editor, BBC News website This is the bitter price of the new medicines we take for granted. Testing such experimental drugs, at the cutting edge of science, can never be completely risk-free. The safety and effectiveness of these drugs are rigorously tested in animals. The risks are low but there must still be a leap of faith when they are tried in people for the first time. This trial has been taking place since July without such major events being reported. Generally in Phase I trials the dose is increased slowly over time, which could be why the side-effects are appearing now. The hospitalised men started taking the drug regularly on 7 January and began showing severe side-effects three days later. Three of the volunteers are now facing a lifetime of disability in this "accident of exceptional gravity". It is a high price to pay, but thousands of people do safely take part in similar trials each year. The trial was conducted by Biotrial, a French-based company with an international reputation which has carried out thousands of trials since it was set up in 1989. In a message on its website, the company said that "serious adverse events related to the test drug" had occurred. The company insisted that "international regulations and Biotrial's procedures were followed at every stage". According to the health ministry, the adverse effects occurred on Thursday. Trials typically have three phases to assess a new medicine for safety and effectiveness Has drug trial safety improved? German medics challenge new EU clinical drug trials Why some new drugs cost so much The study was a Phase I clinical trial, in which healthy volunteers take the medication to evaluate the safety of its use, the ministry said. Before any new medicine can be given to patients, detailed information about how it works and how safe it is must be collected. Clinical trials are the key to getting that data - and without volunteers to take part in the trials, there would be no new treatments for serious diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and arthritis. Every year around the world thousands of people take part in clinical trials but incidents like this are very rare, the BBC's Hugh Schofield reports from Paris. New EU regulations to speed up clinical drug trials and streamline testing procedures across the 28-nation bloc are due to take effect in 2018. 1908 - Bosnia-Herzegovina annexed to Austria-Hungary. 1914 - A Bosnian Serb student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinates the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.

Three men were arrested by police in County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland on Thursday morning. A fourth man, a 27-year-old, was detained by the PSNI on Thursday night. The couple who live in the house are both PSNI officers and were at home at the time. Police said the attack was a "clear attempt to murder" officers. The man arrested by the PSNI has been taken to Antrim police station for questioning. The device was discovered at Glenrandel in Eglinton in the early hours of Thursday morning and fifteen houses were evacuated. "The violence was wrong on all sides and I've said so all along," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show. "My whole point was that if you were to bring about a peace process, you weren't going to achieve it by military means." He said his message was "there was never going to be a military victory so there has to be a political dialogue". Mr Corbyn said that at the same time he was making himself "very unpopular with some people through my preparedness to reach out to the republican tradition in Ireland", the government was also holding secret talks. He said the Northern Ireland peace process was a "great achievement". Asked about his support for a united Ireland, he said: "It's for the Irish people to decide - my view is historically, yes, and I'm very much on the record about that. "Quite honestly, the peace process has brought about a huge step forward - there is a lot of cross-border agreement, there are a lot of cross-border institutions. "You go to Belfast, you go to Dublin - people travel back and forth all the time. The governments are in touch with each other every hour of every day on different issues. "There is a sense that there is one island of Ireland." Mr Corbyn was speaking in Brighton ahead of his first annual conference as party leader. Democratic Unionist Party MLA Arlene Foster said Mr Corbyn had been a "cheerleader" for "those who wished to break up the United Kingdom by force". "So few people, either in Northern Ireland or the rest of the United Kingdom, appear to believe the revisionism and excuses offered about his actions in the past," Northern Ireland's acting first minister added. Labour's shadow Northern Ireland secretary Vernon Coaker told BBC Radio Ulster's The Sunday News programme the party's policy "remains the same" as it was prior to Mr Corbyn's election as leader. "[Our policy] will build on the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent agreements," he said. "We have no wish and we will make no effort to change that, notwithstanding Jeremy Corbyn's remarks in the past or his repetition of one or two of those." Outrage has flared after a video of the director speaking in 2013 re-emerged. In it, he admitted he did not fully prepare Maria Schneider before shooting the infamous "butter scene" because he wanted her to feel real "humiliation". He has now insisted she knew about the scene in advance and that her "rape" by Marlon Brando's Paul was simulated. The scene from Bertolucci's 1972 film sees Brando's character use butter as a lubricant while forcing himself upon Schneider's Jeanne. In a 2007 interview, Schneider said she had felt "humiliated" and "a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci". The actress, who died in 2011, blamed the film, the reaction and her instant fame for her subsequent drug abuse and suicide attempts. In the 2013 video that reignited the controversy, Bertolucci said he and Brando came up with the idea of using butter on the morning the scene was shot. He said he had been "in a way horrible to Maria because I didn't tell her what was going on, because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress". The video shows him admitting he felt "guilty" but that he did "not regret" how he went about filming the scene. Schneider "hated me for her whole life" as a result, he continued. Evan Rachel Wood was among those to express outrage at his comments, calling the situation "heartbreaking and outrageous". "The 2 of them are very sick individuals to think that was ok," the Westworld actress wrote. "To all the people that love this film - you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man," actress Jessica Chastain tweeted. "The director planned her attack. I feel sick." "I will never look at this film, Bertolucci or Brando the same way again," wrote Captain America star Chris Evans. "This is beyond disgusting. I feel rage." In a statement on Monday, the 76-year-old director said he wanted "for the very last time to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding". "We wanted her spontaneous reaction to this improper use [of the butter]," he said. "The misunderstanding arises from this. "People thought, and think, that Maria was not informed of the violence she was to suffer. False! "Maria knew everything because she had read the script, in which it was all described. The only new thing was the idea of the butter. "It was this, I learned many years later, that upset Maria, and not the violence that was in the scene and was envisaged in the script of the film." In her 2007 interview, Schneider said the scene in question "wasn't in the original script". "The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea," she told the Daily Mail. "They only told me about it before we had to film the scene and I was so angry. "I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script, but at the time, I didn't know that. "Marlon said to me: 'Maria, don't worry, it's just a movie,' but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears."

The European Court of Justice ruled that a lifetime ban may be justified in member states if no effective detection techniques exist within the country. The ECJ said countries must establish if such donors were at high risk of acquiring infectious diseases like HIV. Simon Hamilton said patient safety was the sole reason for NI keeping its ban. Restrictions put in place in the UK in the 1980s to prevent the risk of HIV contamination were lifted in 2011 in England, Scotland and Wales. In Northern Ireland, the Stormont health minister at the time, Edwin Poots, said he was maintaining the ban on the basis of ensuring public safety. His decision was challenged in the High Court in Belfast in 2013, where a judge said Mr Poots did not have the power to keep the "irrational" ban. Mr Poots has lodged an appeal in an attempt to have the verdict overturned. That appeal hearing is scheduled to being in October. Mr Hamilton, who has taken on some responsibilities of the health portfolio after current minister Jim Wells announced he was resigning, said he would take a detailed look at the European court's ruling. "Patient safety is of paramount importance - it was for no other reason that the decision was taken," he said. "If those circumstances change as a result of facts and evidence that are presented, I think we would want to take a look at that, but at this moment in time, patient safety has to be the most important thing we have in our minds." In the UK, a lifetime ban on gay men donating blood was introduced in the early 1980s as a response to the Aids epidemic and the lack of adequate HIV tests. However, it was lifted in Britain in 2011 after a government panel said the latest medical evidence suggested the ban could no longer be justified. The government's Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs said there had been advances in the testing of donated blood which had significantly reduced the chance of errors, and had reduced the size of the "window period" after infection during which it is impossible to detect the virus. It meant men who have not had sex with another man in the past 12 months were allowed to donate. The Republic of Ireland is amongst a number of European countries that maintain a lifetime ban on gay men giving blood. The Irish government is currently considering whether to introduce a one-year deferral instead. Speaking after Wednesday's judgement, Irish Minister for Health Leo Varadkar said: "Any decision will be guided by medical and scientific evidence and best international practice. "I do not see this as an equality issue. "We must always remember that the risk being taken is by those who receive blood, not those who donate it." The 26-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman hit 1,108 Championship runs at an average of 92.33 as the Headingley side retained their title in 2015. He is with the England side for their winter tour of South Africa. "It is great news that Jonny has signed on. He has been a big part of our success in the last few years," said director of cricket Martyn Moxon. "He is maturing and is an integral part of what we do. His best years are yet to come. I have great admiration for Jonny and his talents. I hope he can fulfil his full potential in the coming seasons." Bairstow, who has 20 Test caps for England, added: "We had a tremendous season in Championship cricket, lifting the title for a second successive season. "It is great to be part of a culture where winning and being successful is at the heart of what drives the team on." Meanwhile seam bowler Jared Warner and all-rounder Matthew Waite, both 19, have signed two-year junior professional contracts having graduated from the club's academy. A disabled woman was rescued from her flooded home at Monument Road, in Woking. Crews were also called to about 30 other premises in Woking, West Byfleet and Reigate. Part of the Shah Jahan Mosque, in Woking, flooded, where some events for children have been cancelled. Head Imam Hafiz Saeed Hashmi said at least one hall would be reopen for Friday prayers. Surrey Police said "many" roads were flooded and warned motorists to drive with "care and courtesy". Several roads around Maybury were closed and diversions set up. Bombs and booby traps have been slowing their advance, army officials say. Troops and Sunni tribal fighters were about 500m (550 yards) from the main local government office. They have taken control of several districts since launching the operation five days ago. The mainly Sunni Arab city, about 55 miles (90km) west of Baghdad, was captured by IS in May. Its fall was seen as an embarrassing defeat for the army. Iraqi officials say troops have managed to enter Haouz area - one of the most important IS strongholds in the centre of Ramadi that includes the main offices of the Anbar province administration and the police directorate. Joint operations command spokesman Brig Yahya Rasool told Reuters news agency US-led coalition air strikes "helped detonate explosive devices and booby-trapped houses, facilitating our advance". A police captain, Ahmed al-Dulaimi, spoke of "fierce battles" that had killed many IS militants. At the launch of the operation on Tuesday, the Iraqi army said it expected up to 300 militants inside the city centre to be dislodged within days. But there is concern for the civilians they have reportedly taken prisoner. Sources in Ramadi said on Tuesday that the jihadists had carried out raids and mass arrests in an attempt to prevent an uprising in support of the government offensive by the thousands of people living in districts under their control. The operation to recapture Ramadi, which began in early November, has made slow progress, mainly because the government has chosen not to use the powerful Shia-dominated paramilitary force that helped it regain the northern city of Tikrit to avoid increasing sectarian tensions. IS has lost control of several key towns in Iraq to government and Kurdish forces since over-running large swathes of the country's west and north in June 2014 and proclaiming the creation of a "caliphate" that also extended into neighbouring Syria. A notoriously violent Islamist group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq. It has declared its territory a caliphate - a state governed in accordance with Islamic law - under its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. IS demands allegiance from all Muslims, rejects national borders and seeks to expand its territory. It adheres to its own extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam and regards non-believers as deserving of death. IS projects a powerful image, partly through propaganda and sheer brutality, and is the world's richest insurgent group. It has about 30,000 fighters but is facing daily bombing by a US-led multinational coalition which has vowed to destroy it. More on Islamic State They lived on Cleenish Island on Upper Lough Erne as part of a project that became known as "homes for heroes" for ex-servicemen who survived the Great War. All but one of the homes were abandoned as the soldiers struggled to adapt to island life and returned to the mainland. For many years, the houses stood derelict, their slate roofs and stone walls slowly being taken over by vegetation, and the lives of the men who once lived in them were forgotten. Almost a century later, their relatives have been traced by a local history group. They returned to the island to plant a commemorative oak tree with soil brought from Messines Ridge where the Irish regiments fought. Flemish Diplomat Nic van der Marliere said it was important to remember "the men who returned from hell and then lived here together in these beautiful and peaceful surroundings. "For them, the war didn't end in 1918. The consequences endured for many years after that." Marion Maxwell from Bellanaleck local history group which has been researching the soldier's stories said: "When we first found out the names of the men, they were just names on a page. "As we have researched each one I would say one of the things we have found out is that there wasn't one of them who hadn't had some traumatic experience during the war." Jenny Crawford's grandfather, Francis Suttle, lived in one of the houses on Cleenish Island, said it was "very moving" to meet the other families. "There is a bond and you could feel that bond with them and it was really lovely and I was very privileged to be here," she said. Neil Armstrong, curator of the Inniskilling Regimental Museum at Enniskillen Castle, only discovered a few weeks ago that he had a personal connection to the Cleenish Island project. One of the servicemen was his great, great uncle, Henry Carruthers, and he had mixed emotions coming to the island for the first time. "You look around and we have got the most beautiful idyllic landscape that you could ever imagine. Yet what a contrast from the hell that he must have experienced and the loss of his two brothers as well." Cherwell District Council's planning committee turned down the proposal for homes and a doctors' surgery on land in Adderbury. The authority said it had identified enough building land for the next five years, meaning there was no need to release another site for development. The village has had more than 180 new homes approved since January 2014. The council said concerns had been raised that the development of 98 homes, west of Banbury Road, would "harm the rural area by breaching the urban limits of the village and obstructing views of the Grade I-listed church of St Mary". Planning councillor, Michael Gibbard, said: "With a five-year land supply now in place, this pressure has been alleviated and we can assess applications using our own guidelines, as opposed to those set by the government. "As such, we do not consider this to be a suitable site as it would not only cause significant harm to the character of the area by developing open countryside but would result in the village losing yet another field to housing." President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said the Falklands were "Nato's military base" in the region. British troops regained control of the archipelago after a 74-day war in which more than 900 people died. Argentina claims sovereignty of the islands it calls Las Malvinas. The new note is worth just under $7 (£4). On one side, it displays a map of the islands in the white and blue colours of the Argentine flag. "We live in a changing world. I have endless confidence that we will recover these islands," Ms Fernandez said during a ceremony at the Casa Rosada presidential palace. "The colonial enclaves always end up being recovered, sooner or later," she added. Ms Fernandez said that Britain had installed long-range missiles on the island, which represented a potential threat to South America. "The British government does not reveal what the military budget is for the Falklands. That is a pity in a country where 20% of the young people are unemployed. "It would be good if England was less dedicated to war and more to its own people," said Ms Fernandez. She also renewed calls for Britain to join negotiations on the future of the Falklands. But UK Prime Minister David Cameron has said that there would be "no negotiation" over the islands' sovereignty. In March 2013, residents in the Falkland Islands voted overwhelmingly in a referendum in favour of remaining British. Just three residents out of 1,517 were against remaining British. Mr Cameron said the vote in favour of staying a British overseas territory was the "clearest possible result". Argentine forces invaded the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982 but surrendered after just over two months of fighting. A total 255 British and about 650 Argentine servicemen were killed in the fighting, along with three Falkland civilians. The first half ended 8-6 to Saints as a Dom Peyroux try and Mark Percival goals cancelled out Kelly's opener. Percival extended the lead after Hull's Jansin Turgut was sent to the sin-bin. However, Carlos Tuimavave crossed to drag the hosts back in front with an eight-point try and Kelly's second on the hooter capped it. Saints prop Alex Walmsley slid in to challenge Tuimavave in the act of scoring, a penalty-conceding act which led referee Phil Bentham to offer the chance of an eight-point try with two goals which Marc Sneyd converted - in turn taking his tally to 500 points in Hull colours. Hull are yet to truly hit the heights they reached last season, but this was a third win in four games for Lee Radford's side, and showed the virtue of adding the mercurial Kelly to their ranks. The Australian half-back is one of several former Hull KR players to cross the city and although there were potential concerns about his arrival given his suspension by Rovers last season for failing to return from Australia in time, his on-field value was evident. His skills at the beginning and end of the game brought impressive tries, though the real spark for the game was Turgut, whose arm to the face of Walmsley ignited a fairly flat game into life in the second period. Saints showed glimpses of their qualities, notably through half-back Theo Fages, Percival and James Roby, but they remain without a win since their opening week victory against Leeds. Hull head coach Lee Radford told BBC Radio Humberside: "I thought it was a real physical, tough game, they came with a lot of desperation, having lost last week but I thought we matched their intensity like for like. "I was over the moon with how we defended for a full 80-minute period, our defence has been huge and good all season. It's one of our benchmarks. "Fluency will come and it was reward at the end for Albert Kelly, his push and genuineness was great for us." St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham: "If that was a penalty try, you're giving them every single week. That's two weeks in a row. We're getting some real tough calls. "I thought we were immense. If we had same effort the last two weeks, we win those games comfortably. "We were a bit clumsy with the ball in the second half but I can't fault the effort. I'm really pleased we got a really good response. There are a lot of good signs." Hull FC: Shaul; Fonua, Tuimavave, Griffin, Talanoa; Kelly, Sneyd; Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Manu, Minichiello, Thompson. Replacements: Green, Washbrook, Turgut, Matongo. St Helens: Makinson; Owens, Morgan, Percival, Swift; Fages, Wilkin; Walmsley, Roby, Douglas, Taia, Peyroux, Knowles. Replacements: Amor, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Walker, Lee. Referee: Phil Bentham (RFL). The company is expanding existing customer service centres, with 800 additional posts in Manchester, almost 150 in Newark, more than 150 in Stoke-on-Trent and about 100 in Glasgow. Its third-party customer service partners will create another 600 jobs in Newcastle, nearly 200 roles in the west of Scotland, and 100 in Cardiff. It comes days after it announced hundreds of job cuts at its Newbury HQ. The firm said the jobs would improve the quality of service for its 18 million UK customers and was part of a wider, three-year, £2bn investment programme in network and services. "These new, skilled roles will make a real difference to our customers and a real difference to the communities that are the focus of our customer services investment," said Vodafone UK chief executive Nick Jeffery. Last October, regulator Ofcom fined Vodafone £4.6m for "serious" breaches of consumer protection rules, its largest fine for a telecoms operator. The regulator said Vodafone had misled pay-as-you-go customers, charging them for top-up credit but "providing nothing in return". It also found Vodafone had broken the rules on handling customer complaints. Vodafone said at the time it was "determined to put everything right". At present Vodafone has around 12,500 members of staff in the UK. It has 3,700 workers in its UK customer care operation, with 2,450 of those in-house and 1,250 with other partners. "Vodafone is one of our country's great international success stories and it's fantastic this global organisation is demonstrating its confidence in the UK by creating new jobs across the North, in the Midlands, in Scotland and in Wales," said Karen Bradley, secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. On Friday Vodafone announced hundreds of redundancies at its Newbury headquarters. The mobile phone company, which employs 4,500 people at the site, said the decision was being made to "simplify" its business structures. It said those working in project management, managerial and functional roles were at risk. These included the murder of staff and students and the destruction of buildings in bomb and arson attacks, in countries including Pakistan, Nigeria, Colombia, Somalia and Syria. This stark account of violence against education between 2009 and 2013 has been published by a coalition of human rights groups, aid organisations and United Nations agencies. The Education Under Attack report, published in New York on Thursday, reveals the extent to which education has been subjected to deliberate acts of violence. These are not cases of schools and their staff "just caught in the crossfire", says Diya Nijhowne, director of the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack. "They are bombed, burned, shot, threatened, and abducted precisely because of their connection to education." There were 9,600 attacks worldwide, with incidents recorded in 70 countries, with the worst problems in Africa and parts of Asia and South America. There was a pattern of deliberate attacks in 30 of these countries, where such violence was used as a "tactic of war", said Ms Nijhowne. These figures do not include the type of school shootings carried out against pupils and staff at Sandy Hook in the US in 2012. The country with the greatest number of attacks was Pakistan, with the most common assault being the blowing up of school buildings. Colombia was the most dangerous place to be a teacher, with 140 murders and thousands of death threats. For school pupils, Somalia was the country where children were most likely to be pressed into becoming soldiers. Syria's conflict has seen deadly attacks at universities in Aleppo and Damascus and there were high levels of attacks on students in Yemen and Sudan. The perpetrators have included government forces, armed insurgents, terror groups and criminal gangs. They have committed murders, abductions and intimidation. The shooting of Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai by Taliban opponents of girls' education in 2012 focused global attention on such attacks on education. But this study shows that this was far from an isolated case and that staff and pupils have been singled out for deliberate violence in many different conflicts and ideological battlegrounds. This week in north-east Nigeria at least 29 teenage boys were killed in a massacre at a boarding school. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group opposed to western education, is suspected of carrying out the attack. The Education Under Attack report says that 30 teachers were shot dead in Nigeria last year, including some in front of a class. Attacks on education can be a proxy for other conflicts, such as trying to undermine a government symbol or trying to promote a political, religious or ideological message or to terrorise another community. In Afghanistan and Pakistan there have been violent attacks against the education of women. Or else targeting students can be a way of pursuing a sectarian dispute. In Burma, also known as Myanmar, last year, a Buddhist nationalist mob set upon boys from a Muslim school, hacking dozens to death. In 2010, in Iraq an escorted convoy of Christian students travelling to university were the victims of a car bomb attack. There can also be more specific campaigns. In Mexico there were six bomb attacks on universities by a group opposed to nanotechnology research. Teachers in Colombia have faced violence from armed groups, including rival paramilitary forces and criminal gangs. As community leaders they are targeted by groups wanting to intimidate local people or to recruit school pupils into armed gangs. The impact of violence can reach beyond the individual victims. Terrorising academics and students in university can destroy the research capacity of an economy, warns the report, and trigger the departure of highly-skilled young people. Intellectual curiosity and free speech, necessary in academic life, can be undermined by the threat of violence, with fear prompting "self-censorship" and a brain drain to other safer countries. There are also concerns about armed groups occupying educational premises, using them as barracks or training bases or sometimes as detention centres or even places of torture. In 24 of the 30 countries worst affected by attacks on education, there were cases of schools being taken over by military forces. This also puts buildings at risk from attacks from opposing forces, says the report's lead researcher, Brendan O'Malley. In Somalia, the report says, schools have been used as firing positions and faced incoming rockets, while the classrooms were still being used by pupils. The study calls for the creation of "safe zones" around schools and wants combatants to recognise the need to protect places of education. Mr O'Malley says a positive step would be a common agreement "not to use schools for military purposes". There are also calls for a clearer path for investigating and prosecuting the perpetrators of acts of violence against schools and their staff and pupils. As well as the loss of life, violent conflict is one of the biggest causes of a loss of education. About half of the 57 million children without access to any school place live in areas disrupted by war and violence. "It's not just the killings that spread fear and blight lives. The relentless destruction of schools in some areas of conflict is depriving whole cohorts of children of an education," says Mr O'Malley. "There is a knock-on effect on social and economic development in places that can least afford to be held back. "Where the government lacks the capacity or will to repair damaged schools, the effects can be felt for years after the attacks have happened." The festival of music, theatre, comedy and arts returns to Suffolk on 17 July. Melvin Benn said yoga was a natural addition to the line-up. "I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to say working class people don't do yoga, but yoga absolutely reinforces our middle class credentials and I've no qualms about that at all," he said. Mr Benn, who created the festival nine years ago, said he had wanted to offer yoga sessions in the campsites at Henham Park "for a while". "I think a lot of people will be pleased," he said. The Black Keys, Two Door Cinema Club and Damon Albarn are the musical headliners for this year's festival, with Jack Dee, Alison Moyet and the Royal Shakespeare Company also on the bill. The festival will have the theme of "secrets and lies", inspired by CIA whistle-blower Edward Snowden. This will involve a series of political debates held across the weekend along with artistic interpretations of the theme, including a ballet performance highlighting how dance would be used to express the secrets of the royal household in mediaeval times. The deputy governor of Ghazni province Mohammad Ali Ahmadi said one militant blew himself up at the prison gates, allowing others to force open cells. The attackers were well-organised and wearing uniforms, he said. It is the third time since 2008 that hundreds of Taliban inmates have escaped from an Afghan prison. Both Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid and the deputy governor confirmed that three of the attackers had been killed. The deputy governor said seven police officers were injured and only 80 prisoners were left inside the prison. Both Mr Ahmadi and the Taliban said the escapees included a number of local Taliban commanders, as well as many other fighters. Of those freed, the interior ministry said 148 had been jailed for attacks on security forces, while 207 had been convicted for other crimes. Only three prisoners had been recaptured so far. Mr Ahmadi did not reject the possibility the attackers had had help from inside the jail. He told the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide in Kabul that one of the attackers who had been killed was a former inmate who had been released. The massive overnight jailbreak in Afghanistan's volatile Ghazni province is yet another reminder of the many challenges faced by the Afghan government. Monday's prison break has happened at a sensitive time for the government, which will complete its first year in office in a week's time, amid questions over its ability to improve security and the economy. The Taliban will use the attack as a way to boost morale for its fighters, who are divided over succession to founder Mullah Mohammad Omar. It will also add to concerns among ordinary Afghans about the state's hold on security. Local officials told the BBC that as the attackers had made their way through the jail, the prisoners did not initially realise the attackers were Taliban because of their uniforms. The jail is about 5km (three miles) outside Ghazni city, about 120km from the capital Kabul. In 2011, nearly 500 prisoners - including many Taliban insurgents - escaped from a jail in Kandahar city, after a tunnel hundreds of metres long was dug from the outside. But Bilic says there was "no way" West Ham were going to sell the 28-year-old in the January transfer window. The former Newcastle and Liverpool striker has scored six times in 12 Premier League appearances for the Hammers despite an injury-hit campaign. "He is one of our best players and we want to keep him," said Bilic. "Chinese clubs send their representatives over to investigate. They were watching other players, but they fell in love with Andy. The club didn't try to sell him." Bilic says Carroll heard about the interest and was no doubt "flattered by it", but that it had not been discussed. Former Hammers defender Bilic rejoined the club as manager in 2015 and has 18 months to run on his current deal, but cited ex-Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri as an example when suggesting he was not stressing about his contract at the minute. He said: "The way I see it. I'm very happy. I have a contract and I am very happy. I don't think that much about it. "I wouldn't lie, yes, it would be nice but I have a year-and-a-half contract and there's no difference when you consider what happened to Ranieri. The biggest one and the best one. "Who has the safest job? We would all say Ranieri. Everyone would have said that. Ranieri. And then what happened with that? So I'm not that bothered about that to be fair." West Ham finished seventh in Bilic's first season in charge, but a move to London Stadium and the loss of influential playmaker Dimitri Payet to Marseille have contributed to a difficult second term. Bilic said: "Well it was a hard season, but every season is hard. I consider this season as a great season for me individually for the team and club. "This season we experience negative things, we moved the stadium, the training ground, a very strange pre-season. And then we were hit of lots of injuries, some positions we didn't have any players. "To come out of that in such a good way, of course we want to improve but it looks pretty good now. It makes you stronger. It's different if you are eighth, ninth and 10th and stay there. This way you enjoy it and it gives you more experience for the future." West Ham face Premier League leaders Chelsea on Monday, having knocked them out of the EFL Cup in October. And Bilic is a fan of Blues boss Antonio Conte. He said: "I'm surprised how good they have been. I was expecting him to have a strong impact because he had it at Juventus. "I watched Juve quite a lot and I was studying his game. I didn't know because no-one knows. "I expected him to do great long term and it is a surprise they are 10 points clear. Conte is a great manager, he done it at Juve, he done it with Italy. A brilliant manager of course. "It [the title race] is still very open. Many, many points. If they slip up, which you can in every game, other teams need to be ready." It follows a stand-off between the GMB union and another security company, Showsec, over union recognition, which threatened to derail the event. Labour's General Secretary Iain McNicol announced the party had signed a deal with OCS Group. The firm is the existing supplier of security at the Liverpool ACC venue. Mr McNicol added: "We look forward to working together on what will be an excellent event." A question mark had been hanging over Labour's annual gathering, which gets under way in just over four weeks' time, after G4S said it was now too late for it to step in and organise protection arrangements. Labour's ruling National Executive Committee voted last year to ditch G4S over claims the firm was linked to Israeli prisons. The GMB objected to the only firm to bid for the contract to provide security at this year's conference, Showsec, saying the company had refused to sign a union recognition agreement before the event. In an effort to avoid the conference being picketed by GMB members, Labour approached G4S only to be told by the firm it could not step in and provide security. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had earlier insisted the conference would go ahead. Asked if he accepted the situation looked "messy", Mr Corbyn said: "Many things are complicated in life. We'll sort this out. Don't worry about it, the conference will take place." The result of Mr Corbyn's leadership battle with Owen Smith will be announced on the eve of the formal start of the conference. In a statement issued after the party's announcement it had secured a security provider, Showsec said it withdrawn from its bid for the contract. A spokesman said: "As a company which puts the welfare of our staff ahead of commercial gain, we no longer consider the operating environment for our security delivery to be conducive to a positive experience for our staff, especially given the tone of some of the comments made by the GMB union." The actress said she was delighted to revive the role of Jenny, comparing it to "bumping into an old friend". Co-star John Thomson said the time was right to revisit the show as there was currently a "great need for nostalgia". Eight new episodes of the comedy drama, which ended in 2003 after five series, will be broadcast this autumn. Following the ups and downs of three 30-something couples, more than 10 million people tuned into the final episode, which featured the funeral of central character Rachel, played by Helen Baxendale. The new series will show how life has treated friends Jenny and Pete, Karen and David and widower Adam in the intervening years, as they experience middle age and life as the parents of teenage children. Ripley thought it might be hard getting back into character, but discovered: "Within a minute, it was the same. "It was like stepping back in time. We've got a shorthand when we work together, all of us, which is incredibly handy." She joked that meant they "didn't have to do any of the polite" stuff when they were reunited on set. "You can just go in and say, 'I've got a banging headache, my menopause is giving me gip'," she quipped. Thomson said "the timing couldn't be better" to revive "something so feel-good" as Cold Feet. "The world isn't in a great place at the moment, and there's a great need for nostalgia, to look back at the days when things seemed okay," he said. Hermione Norris agreed it was "comforting" to see the old characters back together again, but admitted she had been initially uncertain of reprising the role of Karen. "It's that thing in life - you think 'Don't go back, just move forward'," she said. "It was so of its time and it was so loved, I thought maybe it should be left as I didn't want to do anything that would have undone that." She said the show's creator, Mike Bullen, had persuaded her it was not a remake, but rather a case of "revisiting these characters in this chapter of their life" - and revealed Karen uses dating app Tinder in the new series, showing how technology and dating has moved on. Norris said she did not re-watch any old episodes before filming started, saying: "It was amazing how much I'd forgotten - I couldn't remember how many children David and I had." She also said she felt strange not to have Baxendale there, adding: "I missed Helen hugely - because Rachel was Karen's best friend. I really felt her absence. It's like it would be in real life, if you've lost a really good friend." Ripley joked there would be no "shower" moment for Rachel - referring to the scene in US soap opera Dallas when character Bobby Ewing returned, with his death the previous year explained away as a dream. She added Baxendale was "happy" with the show going on without her, saying: "She's cool with it." Norris also said she "loved" working with people her own age on the show: "I really appreciate being with my own generation. As an actor, and as Karen. I find as a woman, I love being older. The weight of experience - you just don't have that as a 30-year-old." Robert Bathurst said of his decision to return as David: "It's all very much down to the script. I wouldn't have done it for the sake of it." He said the secret of the show's success was that it has "never been about anything - it's about ordinariness", adding: "It's about people and how they rub along together." Bathurst also hopes the new series will "stand alone" and attract a new generation of fans. Among the new cast members is BBC Radio 1 presenter Cel Spellman, who plays Adam and Rachel's teenage son Matthew - last seen as a baby in the final episodes of the previous series. He admited it was "daunting" to join the hit show - and that he "binge-watched" the box set to prepare for the role. "I started to realise why the show was so successful," he said, adding that his mother was a huge fan who "pecked his head" for details of the new storylines. But Mrs Spellman and Cold Feet fans - will have to wait a bit longer to find out what's in store for the characters, with show bosses keen to avoid any spoilers before it begins.

The woman, who has not been formally identified, was discovered in the grounds of Harlescott Junior School just before midnight on Sunday. A post-mortem examination was unable to establish the cause of death. Officers have now been given more time to question two men and a woman on suspicion of obstructing the coroner. A £282m relief road at junction 6, by the National Exhibition Centre, could be the end for Pairc na hEireann, home to Warwickshire Gaelic Athletic Association. The site was built up with money raised by the Irish community which bought the land in the 1950s. Treasurer Martin Grogan said Highways England was "taking memories away". Mr Morgan, who has also played at the club during his 30-year association, said: "This is home to Gaelic sport in Britain. Full stop. More updates on this and other stories in Birmingham and the Black Country... "There's no other complex as big as this outside Ireland. It's prime location and we're not going to move from here." Nearly every weekend, hundreds of people play hurling, camogie and Gaelic football there. Three options for the route are being considered by Highways England and a dual carriageway link to the west of Bickenhill would pass right through the association's land. Option one: Option two: Option three: Highways England said the junction has almost reached capacity and the upgrade is needed to ease the severe congestion and prepare for the arrival of a new HS2 station, which will also see traffic grow. A spokesman said it was considering responses to a public consultation and decision had been made yet. "We are in touch with the club and will keep them fully informed. "As with all of our schemes, we would do everything we can to minimise its impact on the environment, local communities, local businesses, road users and residents." On Friday night, Labour took Kensington and Chelsea by just 20 votes following a third recount. The party had earlier won Battersea, Croydon Central and Enfield Southgate. The Liberal Democrats also had a resurgence in south west London with Sir Vince Cable and Sir Ed Davey both returning to parliament. The Tories have managed to win 21 seats. Labour's Emma Dent Coad's victory in Kensington was the final result to be returned in the 2017 General Election. She beat Tory incumbent Victoria Borwick, the city's former deputy mayor, who had a 7,000 majority in the 2015 election. Justine Greening was one of the Conservatives to be returned to Parliament, although her majority was vastly reduced from more than 10,000 to about 1,500. Zac Goldsmith won Richmond Park back from Lib Dem Sarah Olney with a majority of only 45. Labour was already dominant in London, having won 45 seats in 2015, compared with 27 for the Conservatives and one for the Lib Dems. Marsha De Cordova defeated former junior minister Jane Ellison in Battersea, while Tory housing minister Gavin Barwell lost his seat to Labour's Sarah Jones. Bambos Charalambous defeated David Burrowes in Enfield Southgate by 4,355 votes. Labour also won comfortable majorities in marginal seats such as Ealing Central and Acton, with Rupa Huq increasing her majority from 274 in 2015 to nearly 14,000. Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, who took over Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's former seat in Tooting, also increased her majority from 5.3% to 26.6%. During her victory speech, the A&E doctor said the result was "a clear message to Theresa May" as Labour gained 48 seats across the capital. The Lib Dems saw Sir Vince Cable defeat Conservative Tania Mathias to regain his Twickenham seat. Sir Ed Davey also took Kingston and Surbiton from the Tories, while fellow Lib Dem Tom Brake managed to hold on to Carshalton and Wallington with a 2.7% majority. However, Simon Hughes' attempt to return in Bermondsey and Old Southwark ended in failure as Labour's Neil Coyle retained the seat. Sophie Sotello, 46, quit her job as an office manager 15 years ago to educate her children. She was convicted last year for failing to comply with a school attendance order for her youngest son, Gabriel. The case was bought by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea but Ms Sotello appealed the conviction and won her case at the Old Bailey. All three of her children, including her 20-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter, were home-schooled but this case was about the education of her youngest. Judge Richard Hone QC led the appeal panel and dismissed the original City of London Magistrates' Court conviction. He directed that school attendance should stop. Outside court, Ms Sotello said: "I knew right was on my side. My kids learned to quote Churchill - 'If you're going through hell, keep going'." But the borough's lawyer, Sue Obeney, told the court the legal affair would not have been necessary had matters been addressed 18 months ago. Ms Sotello had refused to "engage" with officers and made threats, such as saying her company would charge £5,000 for her to attend a meeting, said Ms Obeney. Ms Sotello said she "had nothing against" the schools in Chelsea, but said: "It's simply that school is not the right fit for every child." She said she had a "co-parenting agreement" with her husband, who works as a deputy director at Sotheby's, as they go through a divorce. The former manager said she had also taken her oldest son, now 20, who she described as musically "gifted", out of school after he was "smacked on the wrist every time he touched the piano".

The project to revamp Saundersfoot has already been awarded £463,500 in European regional funds, as well as £200,000 in tourism development cash. The rest of the funding is being met by the Harbour Commission. Deputy Minister for Culture, Ken Skates, opens phase one - the new harbour decking area - on Wednesday. The project also includes a new slipway, sea wall, visitor pontoon and dry boat racking facilities. The harbour project is the first part of a £4m scheme to boost tourism and jobs in the town. Mr Skates said: "Saundersfoot harbour has long been recognised as one of the jewels in the crown of Pembrokeshire. "This development will help establish a reputation for the harbour as a high-quality international marine destination and make it an iconic tourism destination for Wales." A rugged, mountainous country, with lush valleys to the south and north, it is Central Asia's poorest nation. Tajiks are the country's largest ethnic group, with Uzbeks making up a quarter of the population, over half of which is employed in agriculture and just one-fifth in industry. A third of Tajikistan's population is under 14 years of age. The Tajik language is very close to Persian, spoken in Iran, and to Dari, spoken in Afghanistan. Tajikistan profile - home Read more country profiles Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring The five-year civil war between the Moscow-backed government and the Islamist-led opposition, in which up to 50,000 people were killed and over one-tenth of the population fled the country, ended in 1997 with a United Nations-brokered peace agreement. Tajikistan's economy has never really recovered from the civil war, and poverty is widespread. Almost half of GDP is earned by migrants working abroad, especially in Russia, but the recession in 2009 threatened that income. The country is also dependent on oil and gas imports. Economic hardship is seen as a contributing to a renewed interest in Islam - including more radical forms - among young Tajiks. Tajikistan has been accused by its neighbours of tolerating the presence of training camps for Islamist rebels on its territory, an accusation which it has strongly denied. Tajikistan has relied heavily on Russian assistance to counter continuing security problems and cope with the dire economic situation. Skirmishes with drug smugglers crossing illegally from Afghanistan occur regularly, as Tajikistan is the first stop on the drugs route from there to Russia and the West. Russia maintains military garrisons in Tajikistan and in 2004 took back control over a former Soviet space monitoring centre. These developments were widely seen as a sign of Russia's wish to counter increased US influence in Central Asia. Economic ties with neighbouring China are extensive. China has extended credits and has helped to build roads, tunnels and power infrastructure. Chinese firms are investing in oil and gas exploration and in gold mining. Twins Ethan and Joe Paragreen, aged 10, left their pumpkins on their doorstep in Oakham, Rutland, on Saturday. But half an hour later, mother Melanie realised they had disappeared and tweeted PC Joe Lloyd. PC Lloyd said the praise for his actions has been "humbling". Updates on this story and more from Leicestershire PC Lloyd said, in his 15 years with Leicestershire Police, he had never heard of anyone stealing a pumpkin. "I thought it'd be a nice thing to do," he said. "I didn't even think about it. "I read the tweet, replied saying: 'That's terrible', was driving to work and was a bit early, so I popped into the local shop [to buy the pumpkins]." After enlisting the help of his colleagues, PC Lloyd dropped off the carved and lit pumpkins on Sunday. Melanie Paragreen, 45, and her sons discovered the spooky surprise after returning from a friend's house that evening. "I really feel Joe and his team deserve all the praise they get," she said. "At first we thought the pumpkins had been returned, but we realised the carvings were different and then I got a message from Joe. "It was such a lovely gesture - it's policing at its best." Colin McSweeny, 59, of Thornton Heath, south London, was found guilty of murdering 24-year-old Sean McSweeny. The Old Bailey heard the former fireman bludgeoned his son with a scaffolding pole because he had suggested moving out with his five-year-old daughter. McSweeny, who planned to dispose of the body in the River Thames, must serve a minimum of 14 and a half years. The court heard Sean told his parents of his plans to move out of the property he shared with them, but they were concerned about the safety of his daughter if she went with him. McSweeney said they argued in the garage and his son turned around holding golf clubs and shouting at him. He told the Old Bailey: "I [thought I] was going to be killed... I just struck him. I heard his last words were 'oh lord' then he fell to the floor." McSweeney said he washed his son's face and spent the evening in his house with a police officer friend, Sarah Lavington, who had been invited to help celebrate his wife's 60th birthday. Later that night, he bundled Sean's body into the boot of his car and drove to Deptford Wharf where he planned to dispose of the body in the River Thames. After deciding against dumping his son's body in the river, his vehicle was stopped by police who found Sean's body in the boot. Ground investigation operations are to be done between Inverness and Gollanfield and Gollanfield and Auldearn, near Nairn. Transport Scotland said work was scheduled to begin on 26 June and could last until November. It said there could be traffic restrictions over the next few months. The restrictions will include short sections of road controlled by temporary traffic signals. Of a total of almost 1,000 investigation locations, only 36 of these will take place near the A96 or other side roads, said Transport Scotland. A spokesman said: "This ground investigation is needed to get important information on the existing ground conditions in the vicinity of the A96 between Inverness and Auldearn as we progress our plans to dual the road. "Although the vast majority of the work will not require any traffic management, a small fraction of investigative work will take place beside the carriageway. "We would thank road users and local communities in advance for their patience during any short duration traffic management operations which may be required as the works progress." The spokesman added: "The contractor will closely monitor the operation of the small amount of traffic management that is required to ensure that delays are kept to a minimum. Anna Swabey, 25, from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, was given three months to live in 2015. Shortly after, she met Andy Bell, 26, on a dating app. The pair were due to marry on Saturday in the Yorkshire Dales. Miss Swabey launched a fundraising appeal for Brain Tumour Research which has raised more than £70,000. Her mother, Linda, said: "Our darling Anna would have been so proud to see how her story has touched so many people around the world. "We have been overwhelmed at the messages of love and the donations which have been made in our daughter's memory. "Many have come from people she never met but who have been affected by her story." Mrs Swabey added: "We are determined to continue the work she started. If there is one good thing to come of this tragedy, we hope that Anna will have achieved her fundraising goal in order to help others." Following her diagnosis, Miss Swabey described her treatment in a blog she called Inside my Head. In her final post on 8 July, she said chemotherapy had left her feeling unwell but added her spirits had been lifted by her hen party in York. But what do the other EU countries think? The German government says the draft is an "ambitious package" of proposals, and it is now "looking at the package in all its details". It says it will try to play a constructive role in the negotiations that follow. However, France says there need to be some limits on the proposals. According to government spokesman Stephane Le Foll, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told colleagues: "We must stay within the current treaties and there can be no interference from non-eurozone countries in the eurozone. Poland's President Andrzej Dudahas previously indicated that he would not agree to any final deal unless the proposals to let the UK suspend social payments to migrants were acceptable to him. However on Wednesday, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said parts of the draft deal seemed "beneficial" because they "would not affect people who have already migrated to Britain - they will not lose any social benefits". The Czech Foreign Minister, Tomas Prouza, has told the BBC he thinks "the UK does have a case of many people coming in and needing to change its social system." "But what is also important for us in this deal is that it's not changing the rules for those already working in the UK, where they have been contributing to the system." Finland's Prime Minister Juha Sipila said that his country "can live" with the package proposed by Mr Juncker, while Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders said the draft "paves the way for an agreement in the European Council". There have also been lively responses from the European Parliament, which debated the draft measures on Wednesday. Belgian MEP and former Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said Britain would be "a dwarf" without Europe. "We Belgians, we know that we are dwarfs, but maybe they're going to know it also." However, he added that the EU needed the UK as well: "Europe without Great Britain doesn't count; is not a counterweight against China, against Russia, against the United States." "Putin wins in this game if Britain leaves. He likes the idea of a divided Europe." German MEP Rebecca Harms from the Greens/European Free Alliance group urged members to think about what the EU had achieved. "We came from war, we achieved peace," she said. Italian MEP Gianni Pittella, of the centre-left S&D group, argued: "The UK outside the EU is weaker. We need to be able to speak clearly about the advantages that UK citizens get, because of the continued membership in the European Union." German MEP Gabriele Zimmer from the left-wing GUE/NGL criticised the draft proposals, describing any opt-out for the free movement of EU workers as "the idea of the social union being buried". "There is added value for UK citizens if they stay. Not just interests of financial markets should be taken into account." Meanwhile, Polish MEP Zdzislaw Krasnodebskim, from the right-wing ECR group, told the BBC that EU workers should be treated fairly. "According to all statistics the Poles are very successful in Great Britain, so I do not see why they shouldn't be paid the same benefits as a British worker." France's Marine Le Pen from the eurosceptic ENF group dismissed all the negotiations as "merely theatre". "The Brits have had enough of the EU. Finally the EU will be seen for the charade it is and people will get sovereignty back," she said. European commentators have been expressing reluctant acceptance of the EU reform deal tentatively agreed with the UK. The negotiations are being widely depicted as a largely sham process designed to help David Cameron to convince sceptical Britons that he wrung painful concessions from the EU. "The show can begin," Arnaud Leparmentier writes in France's Le Monde of the negotiations, which he says are about "nothing of substance". In Poland, which has been vocally opposed to restrictions on benefits for EU migrants, the Gazeta Wyborcza daily says keeping Britain in the EU should be seen as Poland's overriding concern, even at the expense of Poles working in the UK. "No matter how brutal but effective this is, it is worth sacrificing part of their benefit rights in Britain in order to save the EU from Brexit." EU press resigned to UK deal 'show' Police said the accident, which involved a Renault van and a Mercedes van, happened at 11:15 on the A75 near Eastriggs, in Dumfries and Galloway. The 67-year-old female passenger in the Mercedes was pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger, a 38-year-old woman, was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary by ambulance. Her condition was described as stable. The 67-year-old driver of the Mercedes was taken to the same hospital to be treated for a chest injury. The two male occupants of the Renault were taken to hospital as a precaution. Inquiries are continuing into the cause of the crash and any witnesses have been asked to contact the police. Aldren Tomlinson, who worked at King George Hospital in Ilford for 15 years, was sacked on 10 February despite agreeing to pay for the meal later. His employers, Sodexo, restored the 45-year-old's job on Thursday morning. A spokesperson said they "received an appeal, reviewed the situation and offered the employee reinstatement". The decision came an hour before a protest was due to be held outside the hospital in support of Mr Tomlinson. The NHS worker was dismissed for theft of company property after asking canteen staff if he could delay paying for his breakfast because he had left his wallet at home. The canteen staff member who served him claims he did not hear Mr Tomlinson properly. Mr Tomlinson, from Forest Gate, said he had trouble sleeping after being branded a thief and had been seeking counselling. "To see so many people feel my pain and feel my struggle" helped him through what was a "very difficult time" he told BBC Radio London's Vanessa Feltz Breakfast Show. "Without these people I don't know where I would be. I cannot thank listeners enough." He said was "looking forward" to returning to Sodexo, a private company that provides staff for the NHS, on Monday. Michael Dooley, organiser for the GMB, which had arranged the hospital protest, said: "GMB welcome the common sense decision to reinstate Aldren to his job as hospital porter." An appeal hearing against his sacking was scheduled to be heard next week. The 55-year-old vegetarian had planned to perform at Reykjavik's Harpa concert hall but axed the date, saying it declined to observe his stipulation. "I love Iceland and I have waited a long time to return," the former Smiths frontman told the True To You fan site. "But I shall leave the Harpa Concert Hall to their cannibalistic flesh-eating bloodlust." Morrissey is scheduled to play six UK dates next month, beginning at the Nottingham Capital FM Arena on 13 March. The singer published his autobiography last year and is currently working on his debut novel. Dean Bowditch tapped in for the Dons before Rob Hall doubled the lead with a cross that evaded everyone. Will Grigg added a quick-fire third from the penalty spot before Hall scored a fourth with a deflected effort in a spectacular first half. Hall completed his hat-trick before Jay Simpson grabbed a consolation goal and Dele Alli struck the Dons' sixth. MK Dons remain in third in League One, and are eight games unbeaten, while Orient slip into the relegation zone with three games left to play. Media playback is not supported on this device MK Dons manager Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio: "We knew the enormity of the challenge, we knew we had to win here today. "I think all of the players deserve a special mention, because I thought they were outstanding. It was a really good afternoon. "We have to be in that winning mentality, where we want to win in everything that we do. It's a phenomenal run we're on, we're seven or eight now unbeaten. "If we end up on 91 points and don't go up I think it would be quite remarkable, it's important now that we refocus our minds totally on Doncaster." Media playback is not supported on this device Leyton Orient captain Nathan Clarke speaks to BBC London 94.9: "I'm lost for words unfortunately, we came here off the back of some good results and good team performances but we did so many things wrong. "As players we haven't just let ourselves down, we have let a good number of our travelling fans down - we need everyone to stick together. "As professionals that shouldn't happen and we need to put this to one side. With only three games left we can't dwell on this." An elephant that gives tourist rides has killed its handler in Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls National Park. Enock Kufandada was looking after several domesticated elephants when one of them charged at him on Saturday. No-one saw the elephant attack but they heard the screams and trumpeting of the elephant, Brent Williamson from the tour operator told the BBC. The elephant has since been put down. "I heard him screaming and crying for help, but it was just for seconds," an unnamed eyewitness told Zimbabwe's Newsday newspaper. "I then rushed to check on him and that is when I met the elephants walking on the road and I spotted Mbanje [the elephant] following from behind covered with blood all over. "My blood went cold and I already knew what I was about to witness… he was torn apart, all body parts were ravaged." According to the Chronicle newspaper, Mr Kufandada's son went to the scene of the accident on Sunday and "helped pick up some body parts that were scattered all over the place". The tour operator, Adventure Zone, describes the rides it offers on its website as "elephant back safaris" where tourists "get close to these giants and interact with them". It adds that "each elephant is under the charge of a handler - the trips are lead by a professional guide, who is armed and carries a first aid kit and handheld radio". Their statement said the truce did not include so-called Islamic State (IS) and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front. World powers agreed on 12 February that a truce would come into effect within a week, but that deadline passed and scepticism remains over the new plan. On Sunday 140 died in bombings in Homs and Damascus as the violence continued. More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed in the conflict which began in March 2011. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe. History of the conflict - how the civil war has spread Mapping the war - the shifting territorial gains Separately, Syria's government has called a parliamentary election for 13 April. The last was in 2012 and they are held every four years. The White House said that President Barack Obama had phoned his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at Mr Putin's request to discuss the efforts to establish the cessation of hostilities. After their phone call, the joint Russian-US statement was released. The truce applied to "those parties to the Syrian conflict that have indicated their commitment to and acceptance of its terms", the statement said. This excluded IS, Nusra and "other terrorist organisations designated by the UN". Air strikes by Syria, Russia and the US-led coalition against these groups would continue, the statement read. It said that armed opposition groups taking part would have to confirm their participation by midday on 26 February. Russian and Syrian planes would halt any attacks on the armed opposition groups. Russia and the US will work together to "delineate territory where groups that have indicated their commitment to and acceptance of the cessation of hostilities are active". The deal also sets up a communications hotline and calls for a working group to monitor ceasefire violations. Syria's main opposition grouping, the High Negotiations Committee, said it would accept the truce, but its commitment was conditional on the lifting of sieges, an end to attacks on civilians, the freeing of prisoners and the delivery of aid. US Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed the deal, saying: "If implemented and adhered to, this cessation will not only lead to a decline in violence, but also continue to expand the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian supplies to besieged areas." Russia and the US back opposing sides in the war; Moscow is President Bashar al-Assad's strongest ally. On Saturday, President Assad had said he would be ready for a ceasefire, if what he termed "terrorists" did not take advantage of the lull in the fighting. But he had previously cast doubt on the success of a truce. Government forces, backed by Russian air strikes, have been making advances against rebels around the northern city of Aleppo. Analysts say there will be huge scepticism about the possibility of an effective ceasefire, given the current fighting and failure of the first deadline. Air strikes will continue and it is unclear whether Kurdish forces, which have been making ground in the north, sparking artillery fire from Turkey, will abide by any truce. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said fighting and air strikes continued unabated on Monday, with IS fighters attacking the army's main supply route between Damascus and Aleppo. Islamic State militants said they carried out the attacks in Homs and Damascus on Sunday. Russia said the attacks were aimed at "subverting attempts" to reach a political settlement. On Monday, a spokesman for the US-led coalition fighting IS in Syria, Col Steve Warren, said he believed that IS was "beginning to lose". He said the number of Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria, previously placed at between 19,000 and 31,000, was now between 20,000 and 25,000. "They have been able to replenish their forces at roughly the same rate as we've been able to kill their forces. That's hard to sustain," Col Warren said. Meanwhile, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria reported its findings on Monday. They include: The 20-year-old scored twice in 19 appearances for the League Two promotion chasers earlier this season. He returned to Palace in January and went on to make his first Premier League appearance in February, coming off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Swansea City.

Prof Ken Caldeira, of Stanford University, presented research at a major conference on the climate risks and impacts of geoengineering. These techniques have been hailed by some as a quick fix for climate change. But the impacts of geoengineering on oceans, the water cycle and land environments are hotly debated. They have been discussed at a meeting this week of 12,000 scientists in Vienna. Researchers are familiar with the global cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, seen both historically and even back into the deep past of the rock record. With this in mind, some here at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly have been discussing the possible worldwide consequences of pumping sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to attempt to reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet. Two hundred years ago this month, the huge volcano Mount Tambora erupted in Indonesia, throwing tonnes of gas and ash into the stratosphere. Are ideas to cool the planet realistic? Maybe as much as 100 million tonnes of sulphur dioxide aerosols spread as a blanket around the globe, acting like a planetary sunshade. Global temperatures plummeted, and across America and Europe 1816 became known as the year without a summer. Such global cooling processes, but managed in a geoengineering solution, have been touted by some as a possible mechanism to extricate the planet from its path towards a warmer future. Solar radiation management would use stratospheric sulphate aerosols to dim the Sun. Using a variety of climate models, Ken Caldeira, from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California, has investigated the likely consequences of such geoengineering on agriculture across the globe. His research shows that while dimming could rapidly decrease global temperatures, high CO2 levels would be expected to persist, and it is the balance between temperature, CO2, and sunlight that affects plant growth and agriculture. Exploring the regional effects, he finds that a stratospherically dimmed world would show increased plant productivity in the tropics, but lessened plant growth across the northerly latitudes of America, Europe and Asia. It is easy to see how there might be geopolitical shifts associated with changes in regional food production across the globe. "It's probably the poor tropics that stand to benefit and the rich north that stands to lose," said Prof Caldeira. But what if geoengineered sulphate aerosols were, nonetheless, deployed and then a large volcanic eruption like Pinatubo in the Philippines took place? Three such eruptions occurred in the last century so the scenario seems likely. Hannele Korhonen, of the Finnish Meteorological Institute, suggests that the climate impacts could be quite unexpected. Her results indicate increased temperatures in the Southern Ocean and in northerly latitudes, as well as the mid-Pacific, but cooling in African and Asian mid-latitudes. Regional weather patterns would still change, as they did after Tambora in 1816, with similar widely felt disruption. "Deploying solar radiation management methods would lead to a completely new climate state with enhanced greenhouse effect and reduced solar radiation," said Korhonen, adding: "There are great uncertainties, related especially to the regional climate impacts of solar radiation management." Commenting on the results, Helene Muri, of the University of Oslo, said: "These modelling experiments have highlighted the new risks associated with solar radiation management. The safest option is, of course, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aim for a more sustainable way of living and managing the planet." It is not at all obvious what the other consequences of global geoengineering approaches might be. For example, Patrick Applegate from Pennsylvania State University, reported that solar radiation management may yet fail to prevent sea-level rise from melting ice sheets, which respond on much longer time scales than the temperature effects of solar shielding. Aside from being ineffective in stemming sea-level rise, solar radiation management - according to results from Jerry Tjiputra at Bergen University - would lead to increased ocean acidification in the North Atlantic. These results also suggest that climate engineering could not offer a long-term solution, with the world eventually being in the same place, by 2200, as it would reach without any geoengineering interventions. Asked whether he believed solar radiation management would be deployed, Prof Caldeira responded: "A lot has to do with how bad climate change will end up being. Humans are quite adaptable as a species. "On the other hand, projections for summers in the tropics suggest almost every summer will be hotter than the hottest summer yet on record, associated with crop failures. There is the possibility that there would be widespread crop failures in the tropics in the summer. "The only thing a politician can do to start the planet cooling is solar geoengineering. If a catastrophic outcome does occur, the pressure to deploy a scheme could be overwhelming. "Research into this is an act of desperation on the part of scientists. People see the greenhouse gas concentrations increase and are looking for other ways to reduce environmental risk." The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is due to publish its latest findings on Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust on Wednesday. But sources have told the BBC the CQC will recommend the trust goes into special measures. Neither the trust or CQC would comment ahead of publication of the report on Wednesday. The trust runs the Royal Sussex hospital in Brighton and the Princess Royal in Haywards Heath. It means the leadership of the trust will be rated as inadequate and it is expected a number of other serious issues will be highlighted by inspectors. The CQC will demand such issues are sorted out quickly. After its last inspection in June 2015, Brighton's A&E was rated as unsafe. The trust has been consistently one of the worst performers in England on a number of key performance indicators. In particular, it's A&E department has seen a consistent rise in the number of people coming through its doors. The trust is also struggling financially with a potential deficit at the end of this financial year of more than £70m. This will be another blow for staff, who were praised in the last CQC report for their care and commitment. The trust is currently in the middle of a £480m redevelopment and has said changes have already been made to address concerns raised in previous inspections. Reuters made the allegation on Tuesday, saying Yahoo had created special software to comply with a classified directive. The tech firm said the article was "misleading" but did not explicitly deny that it had carried out such an order in the past. Privacy rights campaigners have raised concerns about its alleged behaviour. The EU's lead data regulator is also looking into the matter. "The article is misleading," said Yahoo's statement. "We narrowly interpret every government request for user data to minimise disclosure. "The mail scanning described in the article does not exist on our systems." Yahoo is in the process of selling its main business to Verizon Communications in a $4.8bn (£3.8bn) deal. Some analysts have suggested the telecoms firm might seek to pay less in light of the news agency's article and an earlier revelation that about 500 million Yahoo accounts had been hacked in 2014. Reuters reported on Tuesday that three sources had told it that Yahoo had scanned all incoming emails for a string of characters on behalf of either the FBI or the National Security Agency (NSA). Although Yahoo had previously challenged other requests for data, Reuters said it had decided to comply this time as it thought it would lose. The report said the firm had installed a program to carry out the task in early 2015, but Reuters was unclear about what information was actually handed over and did not say if the software was still in use. The report appeared to contradict Yahoo's transparency report, which said that the US had requested data from tens of thousands of its members' accounts in 2015, rather than hundreds of millions. Yahoo initially said only that it was a "law-abiding firm" that complied with US laws. Other tech firms were more explicit. "We've never received such a request, but if we did, our response would be simple: 'no way'," said Google. Facebook said it had "never received a request like the one described in these news reports from any government and if we did we would fight it". Microsoft added it had "never engaged in the secret scanning of email traffic". And Twitter said: "We've never received a request like this and were we to receive it we'd challenge it in a court." Neither the NSA nor the US Department of Justice has commented on the claims. But the office of Ireland's data protection commissioner said it was making enquiries. "Any form of mass surveillance infringing on the fundamental privacy rights of EU citizens would be viewed as a matter of considerable concern," it said in a statement. Internet rights campaigners also raised concerns. "This is the first public indication that the government has compelled a US-based email provider - as opposed to an internet-backbone provider - to conduct surveillance against all its customers in real time," blogged the Electronic Frontiers Foundation. "The story explains that Yahoo had to build new capabilities to comply with the government's demands, and that new code may have, itself, opened up new security vulnerabilities for Yahoo and its users. "We read about new data breaches and attempts to compromise the security of internet-connected systems on a seemingly daily basis. "Yet this story is another example of how the government continues to take actions that have serious potential for collateral effects on everyday users." Amnesty International has also been critical. "For a company to secretly search all incoming emails of all its customers in response to a broad government directive would be a blow to privacy and a serious threat to freedom of expression," said Sherif Elsayed-Ali, the organisation's head of technology and human rights. He added that citizens should only trust services that provide end-to-end encryption, a technology that scrambles the contents of a message so that only its sender and intended recipient can return it to its original state. The group says people suspected of having ties to IS have been publicly humiliated, tortured and beaten. Iraq's special forces paused in their advance on eastern districts of Mosul on Wednesday to comb the streets for any remaining IS fighters. IS overran the city in June 2014. Meanwhile IS released audio purportedly from its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, calling on its fighters to hold their ground and fight against the "enemies of God". Wednesday was the 17th day of an operation to re-take the city. The Iraqi army is working alongside Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, Shia militias and Sunni Arab tribesmen, with air and ground support from the multinational coalition against IS. It is the Sunni tribesmen - specifically the Sabawi Tribal Mobilisation - who are alleged to have been involved in revenge attacks over the past couple of weeks, as they move through liberated villages. According to reports from witnesses interviewed by Amnesty, some suspected IS sympathisers were put on display inside poultry cages in the middle of a roundabout. A fighter made each of them leave the cage in turn, saying: "what are you? Say you're an animal, say you're a donkey." Other fighters, who witnesses said had no visible commanders, arrested dozens of people, beat one man's face with cables, tied suspects to car bonnets and drove them through villages, held people in abandoned homes and handed a group of detainees bearing marks of torture to the Iraqi armed forces. Lynn Maalouf from Amnesty said there was a "dangerous culture of impunity in which perpetrators of such attacks feel they have free rein to commit crimes and go unpunished". She said: "Only those legally sanctioned to detain and interrogate suspects must be allowed to do so. The authorities must rein in the tribal militia fighters responsible and bring them to justice in order to prevent such crimes being repeated in the ongoing Mosul offensive." The Iraqi army has been trying to consolidate its most recent gains in the offensive by combing the streets of the recaptured Kukjali district for any remaining IS fighters. A BBC journalist says they are moving with caution, amid fears of ambushes, secret tunnels and booby traps. The military says that six IS fighters were killed inside a tunnel during the operation. Elite Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) troops retook the eastern Kukjali area and reached the more built-up Karama district, on Tuesday. The BBC's Ian Pannell, who was travelling with them, says those militants who chose to stand and fight were killed while others fled deeper into the city. About 1.2 million civilians live in the city. The Norwegian Refugee Council aid agency has warned that their lives are "in grave danger" due to the fighting. Some have fled to a camp for internally displaced people, east of Mosul. On Wednesday a senior CTS officer told the Associated Press that troops were moving from house to house to ensure the safety of civilians, while waiting for reinforcements before attempting to push closer to the city centre. There are thousands of IS fighters in Mosul. The government plans to ask retailers to cover up displays of cigarettes from next year to protect children. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said "glitzy designs on packets" attracted children to smoking and it made sense to look at "less attractive packaging". Health campaigners praised the move but smokers' group Forest said there was no evidence plain packaging cut smoking. The Department of Health is considering the idea of asking tobacco firms to put only basic information and health or picture warnings on their packets. Making the cigarette packets a plain colour would protect children from taking up smoking in the first place, it suggests. It would also help support people who are trying to give up smoking, the department said. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said it was time to try a new approach. Send us your comments "The evidence is clear that packaging helps to recruit smokers, so it makes sense to consider having less attractive packaging. It's wrong that children are being attracted to smoke by glitzy designs on packets. "We would prefer it if people did not smoke and adults will still be able to buy cigarettes, but children should be protected from the start. "The levels of poor health and deaths from smoking are still far too high, and the cost to the NHS and the economy is vast. That money could be used to educate our children and treat cancer," Mr Lansley said. "We will shortly set out a radical new approach to public health in a White Paper." Martin Dockrell, director of policy and research at Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), said the industry calls packaging "the silent salesman". "They use it to seduce our kids and mislead smokers into the false belief that a cigarette in a blue pack is somehow less deadly than a cigarette in a red one. "By helping smokers who want to quit and protecting our children from the tobacco ad men this will be an enormous leap forward for public health, perhaps even bigger than the smoking ban," he said. "The government accepts that packaging and tobacco displays influence young people, so there is no time to waste. It may take years to pass a new law on plain packs but the law on tobacco displays is already on the statute books and comes into force next year." Dr Alan Maryon-Davis, professor of public health at Kings College London, said: "It's a very welcome statement from the health secretary and a good example of how the government can help people choose a healthier way of life by 'nudging' rather than nagging." But Simon Clark, director of Forest, a lobbying group that opposes smoking bans, described the move as a "cheap publicity stunt". He said: "There is no evidence that plain packaging will have any influence whatsoever on smoking rates. Also, the policy is designed to discriminate against smoking and stigmatise the consumer, which is totally wrong." Recent research published in Tobacco Control showed that putting tobacco out of sight in shops not only changes young people's attitude to smoking, it also does not result in retailers losing money. The £600,000 Cathkin Braes Mountain Bike Trails has a 5.5km circuit and will be free to use by the public before and after the 2014 games. It is suitable for all abilities and has mixed terrain, such as moorland, woodland and hillside bedrock. The trail was designed by Phil Saxena, the man behind the Beijing Olympic mountain bike course. He worked on the project with a team from Glasgow City Council. Councillor Archie Graham, executive member for the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow City Council, said: "Mountain biking is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and there has already been huge interest in these trails from riders in the city and much further afield. "Even before they were finished, everyone from elite athletes to local kids were visiting the site and trying out each new challenge. "This is a really exciting addition to Glasgow's top class sporting facilities - and, like all of the council venues that will be used during the Games, it is open to the public more than a year before the Opening Ceremony." After last year's jihadist atrocities in Paris, claimed by so-called Islamic State (IS), it emerged that many of the killers had also been on French anti-terror watch lists. There is a database called the S list (S standing for "state security") containing 20,000 names, of whom 10,500 are suspected jihadists. Not all of them are under electronic surveillance. Besides jihadists there are also other political extremists and even hooligans, France's Le Figaro newspaper reports. The suspects are given various threat levels. A traffic policeman who identifies an S list suspect during a routine check has a duty to alert the intelligence services and report on the suspect's companions. The suspect can be arrested on the spot if an arrest warrant has already been issued for him or her. 80,905 total number of prisoners 10,957 of those are tagged electronically 20,000 total on French S list - thought to pose a security risk 10,500 on the S list have links to Islamist groups Former President Nicolas Sarkozy, who leads the right-wing opposition party The Republicans, has called for all suspected jihadists on the S list to be electronically tagged. After the jihadist murder of an elderly priest in a Normandy church on 26 July, The Republicans also called for S list suspects to be detained. One of the alleged killers, 19-year-old Adel Kermiche, had been wearing an electronic tag, but a judge had reportedly allowed him free movement on weekday mornings. He had tried twice in 2015 to get to war-torn Syria, where IS is based, and was awaiting trial on terror charges. With him for the church attack in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray was Abdel Malik Petitjean, also 19, who had also tried to reach Syria and been turned back. He was on the S list as a suspected jihadist but had not been required to wear a tag. What we know about French church attack Timeline: Attacks in France Last December, a top French court, the Council of State, warned the government that detaining suspected jihadists without evidence of a crime would violate their human rights. Such a measure would also show the suspects that they were on a watch list - undermining the surveillance effort, it was argued. "It's a problem of quality, rather than quantity," said Alain Bauer, a French professor of criminology. "The challenge is to prioritise the most dangerous cases and analyse them better," he told the BBC. A French parliamentary report on 5 July called for a major revamp of the intelligence services, after an analysis of last year's Paris attacks which killed 147 people. The head of the inquiry, judge and politician Georges Fenech, said French intelligence was aware of the jihadists before the attacks, but the services had failed to exchange information about them. There were also some operational failures, including the way the Bataclan concert hall siege was handled, he said in the report (in French). The elite RAID anti-terror force should have gone to the Bataclan, instead of the city's BRI "anti-gang" force, he said. Mr Fenech called for a new national anti-terror agency to be set up, answering directly to the president, to co-ordinate operations and collate data from the various intelligence services. It would be modelled on the US National Counterterrorism Center. According to Frank Foley, a counter-terrorism expert at King's College London, "there are too many French agencies with similar missions, overlapping and competing with each other". He said there was rivalry between the DGSI intelligence service and the police when the DGSI took charge of counter-terrorism, following the September 2001 attacks on the US by al-Qaeda. The Paris attacks also highlighted the urgent need for more intelligence exchanges among European partners - in this case France and Belgium. A major difficulty for France and other countries targeted by jihadists is the diversity of the criminals' profiles. According to Mr Bauer, the idea of "lone wolf" jihadists who "self-radicalise" is misleading. "What's new is the range of different jihadists," he said. The Nice beachfront attacker, who mowed down 84 people on 14 July with a massive lorry, did have a different profile from the Paris jihadists, some of whom had trained with IS in the Middle East. French faith leaders in security call Calls for French intelligence shake-up The jihadists stalking the French Riviera A state of emergency has been extended until the end of January 2017. It widens the powers of police to keep suspects under house arrest, to conduct searches and to break up groups posing a security risk. In November, President Francois Hollande announced extra staff to deal with the terror crisis: 5,000 extra police; 1,000 more customs and border guards; 2,500 new justice officials and 9,200 army jobs saved from being axed. Following the Normandy attack, he also urged "patriots" to sign up as reservists and said a new National Guard would be formed from reserve forces. But extra numbers can only go so far to tackle a multi-faceted problem. The government recognises that the profiles of suspected jihadists vary a lot - nearly 30% are women or girls and nearly 25% are "recent converts". In many cases petty crime and social marginalisation already blight suspects' lives in the deprived suburbs (banlieues). What drives individuals to commit mass killings? How Britain has been kept safe for a decade A government anti-terror website (in French) says 2,147 people in France are known to be linked to Iraqi or Syrian Islamist groups. Dealing with those who return from the war zone "is a major challenge", it says. Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said 1,000 of that total visited the war zone and 898 "showed an eagerness to go there". France has started isolating zealous jihadist recruiters in prisons, to stop them radicalising fellow prisoners. About 20 were singled out at Fresnes prison, and five special prison wings will be built to house radicals convicted of terror offences. But prison overcrowding is a problem, stretching France's prison staff. On 1 July the total number of prisoners was 69,375, and another 11,530 were under house arrest, most of them subject to electronic surveillance. Prison numbers are more than 10,000 above the official capacity. French prisons fertile ground for Islamists If someone is asking the UK for protection as a refugee because they've converted to Christianity, should they know the answer? The all-party parliamentary group on international religious freedom says asylum claims from converts to Christianity are being dealt with unfairly precisely because of questions like these. It says that too often officials are asking about Bible trivia, rather than probing what someone really believes. And this "lack of understanding of religion and belief" is leading to the wrong people being rejected - meaning they could be forced out when they have genuinely been persecuted. Mohammed, an Iranian asylum seeker convert, is fighting to stay in the UK. His claim was rejected following his asylum interview. "One question they asked me was very strange - what colour was the cover of the Bible," he says. "I knew there were different colours. The one I had was red. They asked me questions I was not able to answer - for example, what are the Ten Commandments. I could not name them all from memory." When someone turns up for an asylum interview, the assessors have to decide whether what they're told adds up to a reasonably likely account. The caseworker doesn't have to be sure of every detail and in the case of religious claimants, the guidance says they're not required to ask anything other than "basic knowledge questions". But why shouldn't the Home Office, which runs the asylum system, reasonably expect claimants to know basic facts from the Bible? "The problem with those questions is that if you are not genuine you can learn the answers, and if you are genuine, you may not know the answers," says Baroness Berridge, who heads the parliamentary group behind the report. "When the system did move on to ask about the lived reality of people's faith, we then found that caseworkers, who are making decisions which can be life or death for people, were not properly supported and trained properly." There are no official figures on asylum claims on religious grounds but anecdotal evidence suggests the vast majority are probably former Muslims who have turned to Christianity. Another large group of claimants are members of the Ahmadi Muslim sect who are persecuted in Pakistan. Rev Mark Miller, who has a large congregation of Iranian converts in Stockton-on-Tees, has advised the Home Office on how to handle such claims. Many of his congregation will have first experienced the faith in secret meetings in private homes. "The asylum assessors have a real challenge on their hands," he says. "If you've come to faith in an underground house church, where you've been able to borrow a New Testament for a week and have encountered the risen Lord Jesus, you're not going to know when the date of Pentecost is. "They should be trying to understand the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge," he says. "They should be asking questions that help them to understand why someone has left behind the faith of their upbringing and the faith of their family." But isn't it still possible to play the system? Can't anyone just pretend to have found God? Mohammed in Yorkshire, like others, was baptised in Greece on his way to Britain. Recent mass conversions in Germany, have fuelled fears that it's just a big scam. Wilson Chowdhry of the British Pakistani Christian Association says he's had occasional suspicions of bogus converts - people who attend services until they've convinced the Home Office they're genuine. But he says that they are a rare sight for two reasons: there are so few converts in the first place and those who do switch can face awful prejudice in their own communities. "If you take Pakistani Christians, they're among the most severely persecuted for apostasy [the act of abandoning Islam]. There are other ways of trying to stay in the UK - you would not choose to be persecuted in your own community here, as well as at home. "I believe that there are still some suspicions [in the global church] about whether someone has converted genuinely - and when many do convert they receive little support." The Home Office is studying the parliamentary group's report. It hasn't formally commented yet other than to underline that the guidance is regularly reviewed to take into account the views of religious groups. It has no plans at present to record figures for asylum applications by converts because many claims rely on a combination of complex or overlapping factors. As for Mohammed, if he's asked again what makes a Christian, what will he tell officials? "To know whether someone is a real believer or not, you have to look at the fruit in their lives," he says. "The fruit is love and humility... when people come here wounded and in fear and trembling, what they most need is to receive love." JWST is regarded as the successor to Hubble, and will carry technologies capable of detecting the light from the first stars to shine in the Universe. Paramount in that quest will be a large primary reflecting surface. And with a width of 6.5m, JWST's will have roughly seven times the light-collecting area of Hubble's mirror. It is so big in fact that it must be capable of folding. Only by turning the edges inwards will the beryllium segments fit inside the telescope's launch rocket. The observatory is currently under construction at the US space agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. When in recent months engineers stuck down the segments to their support structure, each hexagon had a cover on it. Only now, as the engineers prepare to move to the next stage of assembly, have those covers been removed to reveal the full mirror. Shortly, the secondary mirror, which is at the top of the black extension poles will be collapsed into a flat configuration. Then, the whole edifice will be flipped 180 degrees. This will permit the engineering team to attach JWST's instruments behind the main mirror. These can be seen in a raised cage off to the left. Leaving such a sensitive surface exposed even for a short time may appear risky. The fear would be that it might get scratched. But the European Space Agency's JWST project scientist, Pierre Ferruit, said that was unlikely. "The main danger is to get some accumulation of dust. But it's a cleanroom so that accumulation is very slow," he told BBC News. "They need to rotate the telescope to get access to the back, and the protective covers were only resting on the mirror segments, so they had to be removed before the rotation. "When the mirror is upside down, the exposure to dust will be much less, and I doubt anyone will be allowed to walk underneath." Once the integration of mirror and instruments is complete, the telescope will be sent for environmental testing. It will be shaken and blasted with sound to mimic the rough rocket ride to orbit. Assuming that goes well, the whole train - mirror and instruments - will ship to Nasa's Johnson Space Center in Texas for some final deep-chill testing. This will be conducted in the giant cryo-vacuum chamber built to accommodate the 1960s Apollo hardware. Once that work is done, engineers must attach the spacecraft bus, which incorporates elements such as the flight computers and communications system. Finally, James Webb will be given an immense deployable visor - the structure that will shield its delicate observations from the Sun's light and heat. JWST is a joint venture between the US, European and Canadian space agencies. Each of the partners has supplied instruments for the observatory. A key additional role for Europe is to launch the telescope. An Ariane rocket will be used. It will be the launcher's most valuable ever payload. The full life-cycle cost of the JWST project is expected to approach $10bn once all the partners' contributions are taken into account. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos The RMT said the strike was being held over threats to jobs, services and safety from the introduction of the new Hitachi Intercity trains. The union said it had not received the assurances it required from FGW. The first Hitachi trains will run on the Great Western main line from 2017 and the East Coast main line from 2018. FGW railworkers held a 48-hour strike earlier this month over the same dispute, causing disruption to tens of thousands of commuters. The operator runs train services between London Paddington, south Wales, the Cotswolds, the Thames Valley region and the West of England. Union members, including guards and platform attendants, will walk out for 24 hours on 23 August and for 72 hours from 29 August, while members who work on maintenance will strike on 29 August and 31 August. All of the strikes will begin at 00:01 BST and end at 23:59. RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "Despite strenuous efforts by our negotiators, we have not been able to secure the kind of progress required in the key areas of jobs, services and safety for us to reach an agreement. "As a result we have no option but to put further action on. "The fact remains that if it is good enough for East Coast, using the same trains, to meet the very basic assurances sought by this trade union then it is good enough for First Great Western as well." The RMT said it had received a "lack of assurances" over job protection for engineers. The union added it was also concerned the role of guards and platform staff would be diluted by plans for drivers to operate train doors. It also criticised the proposed removal of buffet facilities from trains. The RMT said it had received these assurances over plans to introduce similar trains on the East Coast. The new Hitachi Class 800 Super Express trains are being introduced under the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) and will eventually replace the Intercity 125. They are capable at running up to 140mph and will first be rolled out on routes between London Paddington and Oxford, Bristol and south Wales. An FGW spokesman said the new trains would have more seats and deliver faster and more frequent journeys for passengers. He said: "Our plans mean more train managers on board our trains, not less. "The key issue remains, that we want the driver to close the doors, which is fundamental to our ability to run the faster, more frequent services customers should expect from a 21st Century railway." "This method has been used safely across the UK rail industry for decades." The spokesman said FGW would hold conversations with the RMT later this week. The 14-time major winner, playing in his first European Tour event after a back injury, faces missing successive cuts after struggling at Torrey Pines. "I was trying to hit shots and I wasn't doing a good job," said Woods, 41. "I could have shot something near even par if I would have made some putts but I made nothing." Starting his opening round on the back nine, Woods got off to a poor start as he found a bunker and bogeyed the par-five opener. He dropped another shot on the 12th before his approach shot fell short of the 18th green and rolled back into the water, leading to his third bogey of the day. Woods, who returned to action last December after 15 months out following surgery, had a three-putt bogey on the fifth and missed par from five feet on the sixth. Woods insisted he had not suffered an injury setback despite climbing awkwardly out of a greenside bunker early on and grimacing as he walked off the tee on his 16th hole. "No, I wasn't in pain at all," Woods said. "I was just trying to hit shots and I wasn't doing a very good job. At the end I finally hit some good ones but the damage had already been done." Spain's Garcia said his seven-under-par 65 was "a nice way to start; a good solid round". He holed six birdies and an eagle to lead by one from Chile's Felipe Aguilar and South Africa's George Coetzee, with England's Ian Poulter a shot further back after a 67. Project chairman, Bertrand Piccard, piloted the vehicle from Muscat in Oman to Ahmedabad in India, crossing the Arabian Sea in the process. Tuesday's journey took just over 15 hours. The distance covered - 1,468km - set a new world record for a flight in a piloted solar-powered plane. The vehicle has another 10 legs ahead of it over the course of the next five months. Included in that itinerary will be demanding stretches when the craft has to fly over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Piccard is sharing the flying duties with project partner and CEO, Andre Borschberg, who made Monday's inaugural trip from Abu Dhabi to Muscat. Solar Impulse arrived in Ahmedabad in darkness, its wings illuminated by LEDs, and its propellers driven by the energy stored in its batteries. The plane had left Muscat at 06.35 (02:35 GMT) and put its wheels down at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 23.25 local time (17:55 GMT). Preparations are already under way for the next leg to Varanasi in northeast India, although mission planners say that will not be for another four days, at least. The time will be spent carrying a campaigning message on the topic of clean technologies to the local Ahmedabad people, and the wider Indian population. The Solar Impulse project has already set plenty of other 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 - they take it in turns to fly solo - 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. The Solar Impulse venture recalls other great circumnavigation feats in aviation - albeit fuelled ones. In 1986, the Voyager aircraft became the first to fly around the world without stopping or refuelling. Piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, the propeller-driven vehicle took nine days to complete its journey. Then, in 2005, this time was beaten by the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, which was solo-piloted by Steve Fossett. A jet-powered plane, GlobalFlyer completed its non-stop circumnavigation in just under three days. Andre Borschberg is a trained engineer and former air-force pilot, he has built a career as an entrepreneur in internet technologies. Bertrand Piccard 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 has become 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 It is being designed to stop wildlife, particularly elephants, on Mt Kenya from destroying crops on nearby farms. On completion it will be about 400km (250 miles) long, stand 2m (6ft 6in) high and extend a metre underground. The charity building the fence, Rhino Ark, believes it will take five years to complete. "It is going to encircle 2,000 sq km (772 sq miles) of indigenous forests on the mountain, and a source of many, many rivers and outflows in all directions from the mountains," Colin Church from Rhino Ark told the BBC. According to the charity, it is being done in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service and with the support of the Kenya Forest Service. Mt Kenya, at 5,199m, is Africa's second highest peak and the mountain and its forest were designated as a World Heritage site by Unesco in 1997. The fence, which will have five electrified strands, will discourage wild animals from straying from the mountain's forests and devastating crops on the small holdings on the other side of the fence. It discharges a shock, but not one that endangers people or animals. Building the first phase of the fence, which will be 50km long, has already begun and is expected to be completed by the beginning of 2014, Rhino Ark says. Minister of Finance Njeru Githae is to drive a post into the ground to officially inaugurate the project on Friday. BBC Africa analyst Martin Plaut says the scheme may seem wildly optimistic, but Rhino Ark has already fenced in the Aberdare mountains, which provide water for Kenya's capital, Nairobi. That fence took 12 years to complete. But with government support and finance, Mr Church believes the Mt Kenya project, expected to cost about $11.8m (£7.4m), should be much faster. The charity raises $1m a year from a sporting event - the Rhino Charge - an off-road motorsport competition that has been held in Kenya every year since 1989. He said his team was preparing for his inauguration and he urged Mr Jammeh to respect the will of the electorate. The election commission declared Mr Barrow winner of the 1 December poll. Mr Jammeh has launched court action to annul the result after initially accepting defeat. His security forces have seized control of the election commission's headquarters in the capital, Banjul. The Gambia has not had a smooth transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1965. Mr Jammeh first seized power in a coup in 1994, and many of his critics have been jailed or forced into exile. Mr Barrow, a property developer who was the candidate of a coalition of seven opposition parties, defeated him by four percentage points. In the interview with the BBC's Umaru Fofana, Mr Barrow said Mr Jammeh's move to annul the election had come as a surprise. Mr Jammeh had phoned to congratulate him soon after the election and had stated that "our system is the best" and "nobody can rig" the elections, Mr Barrow said. He ruled out a recount or re-run of the election: "We are not supporting anything as at now. Our position is very very clear. I'm president-elect. We advise the president to cooperate." Asked about his inauguration, Mr Barrow said: "We have a team that is working on our inauguration. We are working on it; on the 18th, I'm the legal president of this country." Mr Barrow told the BBC Mr Jammeh would not be prosecuted if he stepped down because his government would focus on "truth and reconciliation". Mr Jammeh "should feel secure" because "he is a Gambian", Mr Barrow added. "If South Africa can reconcile [after the racial system of apartheid ended in 1994], I see no reason why Gambians cannot reconcile. We are not saying prosecution; we said truth and reconciliation." Mr Barrow added that he feared for his safety but had the "support of the whole world". "That puts me in a strong position and I'm a very strong character. I have faith in God." Mr Barrow rejected suggestions that foreign troops should intervene to help him take power. According to the electoral commission's final count: Results were revised by the electoral commission on 5 December, when it emerged that the ballots for one area had been added incorrectly, swelling Mr Barrow's vote.

She was found in a burning first-floor bedroom in Brynards Hill in Royal Wootton Bassett but could not be saved. Police have not released her name yet, though a man, believed to be her husband, escaped the fire and was treated for smoke inhalation. The fire is thought to have started accidentally in the early hours and an investigation is ongoing into the exact cause. The BBC Springwatch presenter tweeted his opposition to the plan to shoot the pied wagtail at a Great Yarmouth branch of the supermarket chain. A Tesco spokesman said repeated efforts to free the bird which posed a "hygiene" risk were unsuccessful. The shop had been granted a licence to shoot the bird by Natural England. The Tesco spokesman said the pied wagtail moved into the Great Yarmouth shop a few weeks ago. He said: "In spite of repeated efforts to free the bird including laying down traps, deploying nets and opening windows, we have been unsuccessful. "Our goal is always to release any birds which have found their way into our stores, while ensuring we maintain our high standards of hygiene." •It is a long-tailed black and white bird •It is 18cm (7in) long and weighs 21g (0.74oz) •When standing still it can be seen wagging its tail up and down •It frequently calls when in its undulating flight •It gathers at dusk to form large roosts in city centres •The species can be found across the UK Source: RSPB and BTO Mr Packham said he was "horrified" at news the bird would be shot on Sunday night because "there are experts at the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) who could catch this bird". A Tesco spokesman said the company would now "continue to try to release the bird over the next few weeks" and would liaise with the BTO, which is based in Thetford, Norfolk. Mr Packham then tweeted: "The guns are stood down. Result." Natural England said it could grant licences to shoot birds where there was a serious health risk to humans, provided it does "not harm the conservation status of the species". In 2012, it granted licences to shoot 1,332 birds on public health and safety grounds. The organisation said it "must be satisfied that all reasonable non-lethal methods... have been tried and proven ineffective before a licence to remove the bird is issued". The signatories, who include Radio 1's Huw Stephens and rugby referee Nigel Owens, wrote to David Cameron saying S4C had already faced cuts. S4C said it had lost 36% of its income since 2010 when the cost of most of its budget was shifted to the licence fee. Culture Secretary John Whittingdale has said it was reasonable to expect S4C to make the same cuts as the BBC. The group's letter, which was also co-signed by presenter Sian Lloyd, singers Caryl Parry Jones and Dafydd Iwan, and British Jamaican poet Benjamin Zephaniah, said S4C made a "priceless contribution to ensuring a prosperous future for Welsh, the oldest living language in Britain". Jamie Bevan, chairman of the Welsh Language Society, said: "The letter reflects the strong support for the channel. "Welsh is a treasure for so many people across the British Isles, it would be a blow to the cultural wealth of the world if S4C was threatened further." Benoit Paillaugue's four penalties put the French side in control early on. But two tries in nine minutes from Luke Wallace and Nick Easter saw Harlequins turn around a nine-point deficit and lead 15-12 at half-time. Jack Clifford and Danny Care scored tries after great driving mauls, while Ollie Lindsay-Haugue and Chris Robshaw also went over in the second half. Montpellier, whose coach Jake White has said he is interested in the vacant England job, led early on through three successive Paillaugue penalties. But the hosts were back in it when a great play from the lineout - after Evans had superbly landed a kick in the corner - saw Wallace sneak over from five metres out. Evans missed the conversion attempt but was successful after Easter nipped in to score to help the home side to a three-point lead at the break. A terrific driving maul saw Clifford go over and Evans added the conversion to score his 2,000th point for Harlequins. Care then went over after another impressive driving maul to secure Quins a bonus point, while replacement Ollie Lindsay-Haugue raced in under the posts And Kyle Sinckler's clever deft touch set free Robshaw for Harlequins' sixth try and ended Montpellier's six-game winning streak against English sides. Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Hopper, Sloan, Visser; Evans, Care (capt); Marler, Ward, Jones, Matthews, Twomey, Clifford, Wallace, Easter.

Julie Wadsworth, who has told her trial she is body conscious, starred in the "Naughty but Nice" calendar posing as Lady Godiva in one shot. She and her husband Tony are on trial at Warwick Crown Court accused of assaulting seven boys in the 1990s. Mrs Wadsworth accepts having sexual encounters with "young men" but has repeatedly denied they were children. Giving evidence in her defence on Thursday, Mrs Wadsworth claimed she still suffered low body confidence. But Miranda Moore QC, prosecuting, suggested she had "courted publicity". She asked: "You would have photographs taken as what I would describe as saucy poses, wouldn't you?" Asked about the charity calendar, Mrs Wadsworth said "it was a Children in Need calendar called 'Naughty but Nice', sold to listeners to raise donations". Mrs Moore asked: "You were somebody who was very happy to do a Calendar Girl-style calendar, and weren't body conscious at all as long as it passed the standards of the BBC?" The defendant replied: "It was no different to that [Calendar Girls], it was not salacious at all." The couple previously worked for BBC Leicester and Birmingham-based BBC WM. Complainants have claimed they were approached and propositioned by Mrs Wadsworth wearing white stockings near woodland, while Mr Wadsworth allegedly kept watch. Mrs Wadsworth said she hated white stockings, but did own a pair of long white socks worn in a "Jennifer Aniston-style" as "a bit of fun" at Christmas. However, when presented with prosecution evidence, she also accepted wearing "a dress and stockings" for her and her husband's Late Show BBC programme entitled "Julie's Christmas Stocking". Mrs Wadsworth was then asked about alleged sexual activity in the woods with a male she claimed encountered the married couple while they were "petting" in the trees. She said: "We didn't say no, and when he walked forward we accepted that it was all of the moment, of sexual arousal. "We were in a situation, he came forward and it happened." Mrs Wadsworth later claimed she was a "victim" of the process, adding: "The reason I use the word victim is because I am being victimised for something I did not do." Asked about another encounter involving what the prosecution claim were three children, Mrs Wadsworth accepted the incident happened but denied they were underage. She said: "No, they weren't boys, they were men - I can tell by the way they looked, they were 17 or older." The couple, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, deny five counts of outraging public decency which allege they engaged in sexual activity "against a tree" in view of others between July 1992 and June 1996. Mrs Wadsworth, has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges of indecent assault, while her 69-year-old husband denies nine counts of the same offence. In its first results since floating, Snap said the number of daily active users rose just 5% to 166 million compared with the last three months of 2016. That was two million fewer than expected, but 36% higher than the same period last year. The news sent shares tumbling more than 20% in after-hours trading in New York. Snap's adjusted loss of $188.2m was about $10m higher than analysts had expected, while the net loss soared to $2.2bn from $104.6m due to costs associated with the IPO earlier this year. Revenue rose 286% for the quarter to almost $150m, but was also short of forecasts by about $9m. By Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter Investors weren't expecting much - and they were still bitterly disappointed. Huge losses, poor growth, and no strong sign that the company has anything enticing enough up its sleeve to fight off Facebook's competition. Snap chief executive Evan Spiegel said its low daily active user numbers were due to not bugging users with constant notifications and updates. I don't buy that, and investors shouldn't either. Snapchat is among the most intrusive apps on your smartphone. Not only does it alert you to new messages, it evens tells you to when someone is typing. Enough already. What Snap needed today was some big announcements about exclusive content with media companies. There wasn't one. On the conference call, one investor asked for some examples of what might be coming in the future - a chance to be optimistic. Mr Spiegel didn't give him one. Snapchat isn't going anywhere fast - it has plenty of money in the bank. But Facebook, with its aggressive copying of major features, has Snapchat on the ropes. Evan Spiegel, co-founder and chief executive, said on a conference call the company had been working on performance improvements and promoting its Android app, which could offer more growth globally compared with Apple's iOS. "We still have a lot of work to do, but we are excited by the amount of progress we have made in such a short time," he said. Asked if he feared Snap would be crushed by Facebook, Mr Spiegel replied: "You have to get comfortable with the fact that people are going to copy you if you make great stuff. Just because Yahoo has a search box, it doesn't mean they're Google." Many analysts remained sceptical of Snap's long-term prospects. Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki tweeted: "Snap user growth is almost zero. Losing $50 mil a month. This is so poorly run. Run and hide. This is worse than Twitter." Snapchat launched in 2012 as a mobile app that allows users to send photos that vanish within seconds. On their first day of trading in New York in March, Snap shares closed 44% higher at $24.48, valuing the company at $28bn. The $3.4bn it raised made the float the richest US technology company listing since Facebook five years earlier. The shares closed at $22.98 on Wednesday, but are likely to sink on Thursday following the 23% fall in after-hours trading to $17.65. The 27-year-old is part of the Pakistan ODI squad touring England and recently scored 152 in a ODI against Ireland, as well as 58 off 30 balls in the match with England at Trent Bridge. He will be available for all of Leicestershire's T20 campaign. "Sharjeel is a powerful hitter who will offer another option," chief executive Wasim Khan said. "We have been watching him closely this summer, where he has caught the eye with his dynamic ball striking." At Christmas, she had been diagnosed with a sarcoma, a rare cancer, in her shoulder, and it had spread. But now she is making the most of the summer, with her husband, Michael. "We've been to garden centres, local villages and even made a trip to Hayling Island," says the 69-year-old. "You have to be careful not to push yourself too much, but I want to make the most of the time I have left." How has she defied medical opinion? Good care and personal determination have obviously played a key part. But so has the help she has received from the local hospice service. Jenny is one of 5,000 people cared for each year by Phyllis Tuckwell, a hospice group that covers West Surrey and North East Hampshire. Contrary to popular opinion, much of the service operates out in the community. The actual hospice building, in Guildford, looks after 350 patients a year, but an estimated 1,600 will receive help at home over the next year. And several hundred more will be helped via the day centre service. Jenny receives daily visits from the community team's nurses and therapists. They help with personal care, but are also there to talk and lend support - and this can prove invaluable. A few weeks ago, Jenny mentioned she had started experiencing a tingling feeling in her fingers. Her hospice nurse immediately recognised something could be wrong, and scans were ordered that confirmed a tumour was pressing on her spine. Jenny has since had radiotherapy to slow its growth. Fiona Stamp, who coordinates the hospice's at-home team, says it aims to give people as good a "quality of life as possible and a good death". "We are in a very privileged position - we are there with people when they are at their most vulnerable," she says. "The people we see are amazingly courageous, it's an honour to be there to help them." But despite playing a crucial role, the hospice movement remains very much a charitable enterprise. Hospices care for 120,000 people a year - treble that if you count the family members they support. That is about a fifth of people in the final year of life. But only a fraction of their £1bn-a-year funding comes from the health service. For adult hospices, it is about a third. For children's, less than a fifth. A survey released this week by Hospice UK and Together for Short Lives suggests nearly a fifth have had their NHS funding cut, with half seeing it frozen. Where services have seen increases, they are being asked to take on extra work. Collectively, hospices need to raise £1.9m a day to stay afloat. It means hospices have to take on a huge amount of "extra- curricular work". Phyllis Tuckwell runs 19 shops as well as organising a host of fundraising events, including a dancing competition, fun runs and music festivals. Marketing and communications head Tony Carpenter says: "Our turnover is £9m, and we only get £1.8m from the NHS. "It means we are always under pressure to make sure we are raising enough money. "But we do get fantastic support from the community. "We employ about 220 staff but have nearly 1,000 volunteers on our books." Hospice UK policy director Jonathan Ellis says this is typical of the situation facing many hospices up and down the country. "NHS funding for hospice care is still very hit and miss, with sweeping variations across the country." He believes change is needed. "As NHS funding comes under increasing pressure, we need a fairer, more sustainable system in place and we need this introduced soon. "Failure by the NHS to act will be storing up huge problems for how our society supports terminally ill and dying people in the future." But at the moment this seems unlikely. A spokeswoman for NHS England describes the role played by hospices as "invaluable", but says the amount of funding given would remain a decision for local managers. Hospices, it seems, will still be left - largely - to fend for themselves. Buzzfeed, which was valued at $850m, says it will use the money to offer more content, expand its video production unit and open more offices around the world. Chris Dixon partner at Andreeson Horowitz said, Buzzfeed had emerged "as a preeminent media company". Buzzfeed attracts an average to 150m users a month. The website started life in 2006 as an aggregator of light-hearted lists, videos and quizzes which people would share on social media. Its slick layout and colloquial made it a hit with young people - and perhaps bored office workers - who simply had to find out "which celebrity cat should be your BFF". Recently it has started to focus more on current affairs. It hired a team of journalists and now blends its irreverent style with hard news. The Buzzfeed audience is growing and 75% of hits come via social media referrals, either by Facebook, Twitter or Pintrest. The site gets roughly four times more viewers per month than the Times and was valued more than three times higher than the Washington Post which was bought by Jeff Bezos for $250m this year. In a blog, Chris Dixon explained that his company invested in Buzzfeed because it is "disruptive" - it's changed the landscape of online media. One of the reasons its been able to do that is because it understands the the way the internet works. All of the content is available on and formatted for mobile, targeting people who browse while standing in a queue or travelling to work. One of the big things the company is planning to do with this cash injection is to put more resources towards Buzzfeed Motion Pictures, its video unit based in Los Angeles. It will concentrate on producing videos which could be anything from six seconds long to a one hour documentary. Buzzfeed's videos are already incredibly popular and often get picked up by mainstream media sites - like this one which looked at "What Men Are Really Saying When Catcalling Women" Who knows, one day we may even see the movie version of ''23 Ways To Have The Coolest Locker In School''. Police said the group, from Bedfordshire, were all in the same car. They have been named locally as Tracy Houghton, 45, from Dunstable, and her two sons, Ethan, 13, and Joshua, 11, along with an 11-year-old girl. Thames Valley Police declined to comment on reports Ms Houghton's partner was driving behind in a separate car at the time of the crash on the A34 in Berkshire. A 30-year-old man from Andover, who was driving one of the lorries involved in the crash, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has been bailed until 5 October. A man flown by air ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford is receiving treatment for serious injuries. A further 11 people sustained minor injuries, according to Thames Valley Police. Sam Difalco, a friend of the family, told the BBC: "She was outgoing, devoted to her kids. She was a lovely lady. It is devastating. It's terrible." A spokeswoman for Central Bedfordshire Council, where Ms Houghton worked, said: "This terrible news has come as a great shock to everyone who knew Tracy, who worked within our financial services team based in Dunstable. "Tracy worked directly with our customers and was a dedicated and highly professional member of staff." Her team leader, Gary Muskett, said: "Tracy was a hugely likeable and bubbly person who was much admired by her colleagues, many of whom saw her also as a dear friend. "Our thoughts and condolences are with her family." The crash happened between Chieveley and East Ilsley at about 17:10 BST on Wednesday, causing a six-mile tailback on the northbound carriageway. Thames Valley Police said the northbound carriageway reopened at about 06:30, while the southbound carriageway was closed for about five hours. Speaking at the scene on Wednesday night, Insp Andy Storey said: "It's big scene, a massively tragic scene, and very difficult for officers to deal with. "The four who died were in the same motorcar. The stretch of the road the accident occurred on is an uphill section and we are looking at the speed of the vehicles involved." Carolyn Jamieson's 10-month spending spree came to an end when police were called to investigate a failure to pay her mother's nursing home fees. The 60-year-old admitted embezzling £12,000 at Dumfries Sheriff Court. She was made the subject of a community payback order, with a condition she carry out 120 hours of unpaid work. The court was told that Jamieson, of Dumfries, committed the offence at the town's Goldielea Care Home, and elsewhere, between April 2013 and February last year. Solicitor Matthew Pumphrey said there was no suggestion that Jamieson's mother, who has since died, was left short of anything that might be needed and the nursing home fees were now being repaid. Tulsi Gabbard said on Wednesday she had talked to Mr Assad during a recent trip to Syria, and was "ready meet with anyone if there's a chance it can help bring about an end to this war." Democratic Congress leaders had not been notified of the trip in advance. Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger called it "a shame and a disgrace". "In no way should any member of Congress, should any government official, ever travel to meet with a guy that has killed 500,000 people and 50,000 children," said Mr Kinzinger who, like Ms Gabbard, is an Iraq War veteran. The trip left experts wondering if Ms Gabbard, a representative from Hawaii, had violated legislation prohibiting unauthorised individuals from speaking to governments in dispute with the US. The US has accused the Syrian government of deliberately targeting civilians and the two countries have no formal diplomatic relations. "I have no knowledge of the trip," Nancy Pelosi, the top House Democrat, said on Thursday. "She hasn't reported or brought anything to our office as far as I know." In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Ms Gabbard said that she had not initially planned to meet Mr Assad during her visit. "When the opportunity arose to meet with him, I did so, because I felt it's important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian people, about their suffering, then we've got to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we could achieve peace," she said. After her week-long visit to Syria, Ms Gabbard submitted the "Stop Arming Terrorists" bill, which is designed to halt US support for Syrian rebel groups. In a statement on Wednesday she urged the US to "end our war to overthrow the Syrian government and focus our attention on defeating al-Qaeda" and the so-called Islamic State. Under former President Barack Obama, Mr Assad was repeatedly referred to as a "war criminal" by US lawmakers. Media playback is not supported on this device Van Gaal's side laboured to a 1-0 FA Cup third-round win over Sheffield United - failing to score a first-half goal for the 10th home match in a row. "There just seems to be an acceptance of bad performances," Scholes, 41, told BT Sport. "Every time you come to Old Trafford you see negative football." Manchester United are fifth in the Premier League but have scored just 12 goals in 10 home matches. By the time Wayne Rooney netted an injury-time winner from the penalty spot against the Blades, thousands of fans had already left the stadium in what appeared to be a show of disapproval. Their team did not register a shot on target until the 69th minute, and that was greeted with ironic applause. "The players looked bored themselves," Scholes said. "There's no spirit, there's nobody having a go at each other, there's no smiling, there's no entertainment. "I think even Van Gaal on the bench looks bored, but he'll come out and say he's happy. "People need digging out sometimes. You need to make something happen." While Van Gaal's side avoided a replay thanks to Rooney's late penalty, Scholes said the performance was unacceptable. "They didn't create a chance and had to win a game against a League One side with a penalty in the 94th minute," said the former England midfielder, who made 718 appearances for United. "In my eyes it's not good enough." Van Gaal, who has been criticised by fans for his possession-based approach, defended United's performance. "It's always difficult to play against such an opponent with 10 or 11 players behind the ball," he said. "It's more easy to defend than attack and at the end we got the penalty but it was a deserved penalty. "We won this match and that's the most important thing." Sri Lanka's cricket board said preliminary investigations suggested the motorcyclist was "flung into Mr Kulasekara's path" when he lost control while trying to overtake a bus. It added the player was bailed "pending completion of the investigation". Kulasekara, 34, retired from Tests in June to focus on limited-overs cricket. He played three times for Sussex in the T20 Blast this season. The Scottish Parliament Information Centre and the Fraser of Allander Institute noted that social care funds were being used to show an increase in both the council and health budgets. The Tories said this was a "double counting con" by the finance secretary. The government said the budget would give councils extra spending power. Meanwhile Scottish Labour claimed the budget had become a "total shambles" after revised funding allocations had to be sent out to councils. A political row broke out over the draft budget as soon as it was announced by Derek Mackay, with opposition parties claiming council funds had been cut despite Mr Mackay claiming a £240m boost for local services. The core grant for councils was reduced in the budget, but the government argued this was more than offset by funds for local services such as schools and health and social care partnerships, along with potential increases to council tax - although it is down to individual councils whether to raise taxes. A budget briefing by the impartial Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Spice) pointed out that £107m of social care funds cited by the government for local services were "already included in the health budget totals". This means the same funds have been used to contribute to a growth in both the health budget and the local services budget. The Fraser of Allander Institute, an economic think tank based at the Unviersity of Strathclyde, said this was "highly controversial". They wrote: "The funding for this actually already appears in the health budget lines - indeed it is fundamental to the government's commitment to increase the health budget in real terms. "But the government often double counts this as spending on local services. Clearly this isn't right, it either has to be one or the other. "There can be some justification for the additional £107m being viewed - in part - as resource for local services as a large chunk will be used to support the living wage for social care workers in local authorities. "But if this is the case, then the money should be deducted from the health budget line and thereby reduce the level of investment in that major manifesto commitment. You cannot have it both ways." The Scottish Conservatives said the government had been "found out" over a "double accounting con". Finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said Mr Mackay had "signed off on the kind of creative accountancy that would make Fred Goodwin blush". He added: "NHS money has been double counted as cash for local councils. And the SNP has simply banked 3% council tax rises everywhere in Scotland, even though this is for local authorities to decide." Scottish Labour meanwhile highlighted revisions to funding allocations sent out to councils over the weekend. The party's deputy leader Alex Rowley said: "The SNP's budget has now become a total shambles. It's bad enough that SNP ministers are cutting £327m from local services, but to have to correct their own figures to individual councils within a few days is farcical." A Scottish government spokesman said: "The 2017/18 draft budget local government finance settlement figures, taken together with the opportunity to raise additional council tax, provide a package of measures that confer additional spending power to support local government services of £241m or 2.3% based on the local government finance settlement presentation. "In addition to their core grant, councils will receive their share of £120m for schools, £107m for social care and £111m in additional revenue from reform of council tax bands." The academy, on Martingale Way, Lawley, is expected to cater for 201 pupils and is due open in January 2016, three months later than first announced. It will be sponsored by REAch2 WM Academy Trust, one of the largest primary-only academy trusts in the UK, Telford and Wrekin Council said. The school will provide "much needed places for local children in a growing community", a council spokesman said. It is the last in a series of 13 schools secured through Labour's Building Schools for the Future programme, which was scrapped four years ago by the incoming coalition government. The council has said the school, which will have a playing field and community facilities, could eventually cater for about 420 pupils. Zakuani, a Democratic Republic of Congo international, has agreed a one-year contract at Sixfields. The 30-year-old, who was a £1m signing for Fulham from Leyton Orient in 2006, left Peterborough in May after seven years at the club. McCourt, 20, has signed a two-year contract having been released by Barnsley earlier this month. The Liverpudlian came through the youth ranks at Leicester City and made his professional debut on loan at Torquay United in 2013. "Gaby is a huge character and is an excellent addition," manager Rob Page told the club website. "For a central defender he is an excellent age, he has only just turned 30, but he has a wealth of experience playing in League One and the Championship and that is important for us. "We now have four senior central defenders in the squad and they will provide excellent competition for each other. I am looking forward to pre-season, to getting down to work and giving the players the opportunity to show me and the rest of the staff what they can do." On McCourt, who made just two substitute appearances for Barnsley after joining them in January 2015, Page said: "I think he will fit in well, he is a player with a lot of potential with a fantastic attitude and is someone who I think is very talented. "He will provide competition in central midfield and has had a taste of playing at this level both at Port Vale and Barnsley and that will stand him in good stead."

The flooding has closed roads and busy train services between Aberdeen and Dundee are cancelled because the rail line has been shut due to flooding. Some areas have had power cuts and more than 30 schools in Aberdeenshire are shut because of the weather. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued two severe flood warnings for the area, whilst more rain and snow is predicted across Scotland. Positive parental and friendship group influences are key to cutting drop-out rates, according to Arizona State University research. The researchers interviewed vulnerable students at a Chicago high school. Parents' influence fell if pupils had too much contact with other disaffected students, the researchers found. The researchers spoke to 125 pupils, aged 15 to 18, at a school with one of the worst drop-out rates in the city and analysed their records. They concluded that students' academic achievement was directly related to the level of parental involvement "more than any factors". But they also found that if vulnerable students had too much contact with peers with a negative view of education, "the effect of parental involvement on the dynamics of dropouts becomes negligible". In the United States, most students are expected to finish high school in 12th grade, aged 17 or 18. Anyone who leaves without finishing is termed a "dropout". In 2012, more than 3 million students dropped out from high school, says the paper, with higher rates among low income groups, including Hispanic and African American communities. This means around 17,000 students drop out daily and 31 million people could be high school drop-outs by 2022, say the authors. Being a dropout means lower earnings and greater reliance on welfare and has a knock-on effect on the wider economy, says the paper. "This is a problem we can't afford to accept or ignore," according to President Obama in 2010, quoted in the paper. The 125 students were asked about parental involvement and peer influences, including numbers of friends who had dropped out and these friends' attitudes to school. According to the study, almost half "were in frequent contact with individuals who think that attending school is a waste of time". The study found that if vulnerable students were identified early and parents increased their involvement, their numbers of disaffected friends would fall. But if intervention was left until until students were actively failing at school, attempts at parental guidance were futile. The researchers advise schools with high drop-out rates to encourage vulnerable students to mix with a wider group of pupils, not just other vulnerable or failing pupils, while fostering parental involvement. "Then they can achieve sustained reduction in the number of dropouts," they conclude. The study is published by the Royal Society in the journal Proceedings A. The change will come into force in September and the council hopes it will save £2.16m a year. Under the new system, children aged three will now be offered free part-time nursery care but will not get full-time education until age four. An earlier plan for the changes had led to a High Court hearing by parents. The High Court ruled the initial consultation process used by the council had been unlawful. It was revealed in December the authority had to pay £144,000 for the legal costs of nursery campaigners. Following the high court decision, the council, which is trying to save £70m over four years, then reintroduced the plan under a different consultation process and the cuts were approved. The change to raise the age for full-time education to four brings the RCT in line with other councils in Wales. Council leader Andrew Morgan said: "Following an extensive consultation process, cabinet today took the difficult decision to amend funding arrangements for nursery education. "We made clear at today's meeting that if it were not for the harsh financial realities we face, we would not be considering this option. "The difficult decision we have taken today will contribute over £2m in savings as we strive to close the initial budget gap faced of £30m." Thousands of people raced through gallons of mud at Drumlanrig Castle near Thornhill at the weekend. They were taking part in the annual Tough Mudder event. It saw participants run through ice cold water and navigate around 20 obstacles in a course designed by British special forces. Described by organisers as "the toughest event on the planet", the extreme endurance challenge was the brainchild of Will Dean and Guy Livingstone and regularly takes place in the UK, US, Australia and Canada to test fitness, stamina, mental strength and camaraderie. Mr Lewis has been AM for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney since the first assembly elections in 1999. On Friday, he said that "nothing is forever" and he wanted to spend more time with his family. A former teacher, he took over as education minister following the resignation of Leighton Andrews in 2013. He had previously been culture minister, and stood unsuccessfully for the Welsh Labour leadership in 2009. Announcing his decision, Mr Lewis said it had been an "incredible privilege and honour" to represent the community in which he grew up. He said: "Nothing is forever. I became an AM at the age of 35 and I feel now is the time to move on - for me and the constituency. I'm looking forward to seeing more of my family and seeking out fresh challenges." First minister Carwyn Jones said: "Huw has that rare quality for a modern politician of wearing his heart on his sleeve. "He's always fought hard for the causes he believes in, and he's done great work to help regenerate and transform his home constituency." His decision follows that of nine other Labour AMs who are standing down. These include presiding officer Rosemary Butler, Keith Davies, Edwina Hart and Gwenda Thomas. The others are Christine Chapman, Jeff Cuthbert, Janice Gregory, Gwyn Price and Sandy Mewies. The plane crashed in the French Alps on March 24 with 150 people on board. Investigators say co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the plane after locking the pilot out of the cockpit. Experts have spent six weeks conducting DNA tests on the remains. "The 150 death certificates can now be signed, as well as the 150 burial permits," said Brice Robin, Marseille's city prosecutor. Mr Robin had previously said it was Mr Lubitz's "intention to destroy [the] plane", which was flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf. Among the victims was a group of 16 students, 14 girls and two boys, and two of their teachers, from Joseph-Koenig school in Haltern, western Germany. They were travelling back from a Spanish exchange programme on the Germanwings flight. The victims were from 18 countries, including Australia, Argentina and Japan, but most of those on board were either Spanish or German. The plane took off from Barcelona just after 09:00 GMT on 24 March. It made its last contact with air traffic control half an hour later, before descending over the following ten minutes. The Airbus plane crashed in a remote region at 09:41GMT. On 26 March, French investigators said information from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) found at the crash zone revealed that Mr Lubitz had taken over the controls of the plane and sent it into a dive intentionally. A full investigation report is expected to be completed in a year. Hundreds of jobs have been under threat since January, when TI announced the phased closure of its Greenock plant. The semiconductor firm plans to move production to "more cost-effective" sites overseas over three years. Texas Instruments Task Force chairman Stephen McCabe said there had been interest from two prospective buyers. Mr McCabe, who is also leader of Inverclyde Council, said: "With the Texas Instruments Greenock plant being actively marketed, there have been two businesses interested in examining the site. "This is very hopeful news that there is some interest being expressed by potential buyers within the industry. "A note of caution is clearly required. This is a very specialised industry with a limited number of businesses operating globally." News of the potential buyers was raised at the last meeting of the task force, which is supported by the Scottish government, national agencies and local and national politicians. About 365 people currently work at the Greenock facility. The jobs affected are in manufacturing, engineering, support and management. That's how David Luiz's defending was described by former England right-back Gary Neville in 2011. It was a label that seemed to stick - unfairly, according to some - and was used by many fans to deride the Chelsea defender. Five and a half years later, perception about the 29-year-old centre-back - who rejoined the Blues in August after a two-season sojourn at French side Paris St-Germain - appears to have changed. Certainly it has among his peers, who selected the Brazil international in their Premier League 'all stars' after a successful first season back at Stamford Bridge. Luiz's shock return to Chelsea was first mentioned early on deadline day on 31 August, gathering pace throughout the day, before the £34m deal was eventually confirmed in the final hour before the window closed. Not everyone was convinced by the signing, despite Luiz being part of a PSG side who won back-to-back trebles in France. "He has been a liability for PSG more than anything else," French football journalist Julien Laurens told BBC Radio 5 live on deadline day. "I can hardly remember four games where he was actually good. He had some shockers. "He hasn't improved since leaving Chelsea. He's probably coming back a worse player than when he left." However, Luiz's fellow professionals believe he has returned a better player on the evidence of his 28 starts during Chelsea's title push. Compared with his first spell between January 2011 and May 2014, the Blues have certainly improved with him in their side. They have a higher win percentage, have scored more goals and conceded fewer, and have gathered more points on average. This season Luiz has helped Chelsea keep 12 clean sheets in the Premier League - only team-mates Thibaut Courtois and Cesar Azpilicueta, along with Tottenham trio Eric Dier, Hugo Lloris and Kyle Walker (13) contributing to more. And, while his first spell at Stamford Bridge was blighted by rash decisions and the odd mistake, he has cut these heart-in-mouth moments out of his game. The Brazilian has not made a single error leading to an opposition goal this season, while he has only made two errors leading to shots - a tally which 71 other players have either equalled or made more errors than. "The mistakes we saw - which were limited in the first place anyway - we are not seeing any of them now," BBC Sport analyst Pat Nevin said. "In Britain we tend to pick out big mistakes - every centre-half makes mistakes. Everyone got on a roll with David Luiz because he is that different and special." Chelsea's pursuit of the title, which appeared almost a foregone conclusion for several weeks until their lead shrank to four points last weekend, has been built on solid defensive foundations - of which Luiz has been a key pillar. And that has led to many previous critics, including Gary Neville, to change their opinion in recent months. "His decision-making has been far better in terms of not being as rash," the former Manchester United defender said. "I have to say he looks more mature. He's not getting distracted by the sideshow stuff on the pitch like he did before. He looks to me to have a really good focus." Luiz's return did not initially go to plan, however. The Blues conceded five goals in his opening two games - defeats by Liverpool and Arsenal - although the Brazilian could not be made entirely culpable for those losses. Then came Antonio Conte's tactical masterstroke which changed the fortunes of both Chelsea and Luiz. Switching to a three-man backline, with Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso operating as wing-backs, shored up the defence and brought Luiz plaudits from Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker. Eventually... Chelsea deciding to end their search for John Terry's replacement with the re-signing of Luiz was also met with an element of doubt by the BBC's chief football writer Phil McNulty. "While undoubtedly talented, he had proved himself something of a liability defensively for both his clubs and his country, Brazil. And, like many others, I have been surprised by the scale of his success at Stamford Bridge this season," he said. "Conte has brought added concentration and discipline to Luiz's game, while also playing with a three-man defensive system that offers the Brazilian greater security and licence to play with the freedom he enjoys." Luiz's inclusion in this season's PFA team of the year was announced on Thursday, representing the first time he has been honoured by his fellow professionals in England. After joining Chelsea in January 2011, the former Benfica man clearly did not have enough time to force his way into the end-of-season gongs. In his first full season, he helped the Blues win the Champions League and the FA Cup, although a poor league campaign - finishing sixth under Roberto di Matteo after he replaced the sacked Andre Villas-Boas in March - meant no Chelsea player was deemed good enough to make the league's best XI. Team-mates Juan Mata and Eden Hazard made the cut in 2012-13 as Chelsea finished third under Rafa Benitez, but there was again no place for Luiz. This season he is one of four Blues players chosen by their fellow professionals, with Luiz and centre-back partner Gary Cahill's inclusion down to their team's defensive strength. As the news of Luiz's impending return to Stamford Bridge grew on transfer deadline day, it was met by some fans using #bbcfootball with scepticism and, to a degree, more derision. Josh Earl: The David Luiz deal is laughable, overrated, unreliable and an all round loose cannon, decent free-kick taker that's about it. Mark Mackintosh: Emergency, send the psychiatrist round to Mr Conte urgently!! David Luiz....REALLY??? Richard Larque: Have Chelsea forgotten how poor at defending David Luiz is? Great hair mind. Shane Daly: David Luiz back to Chelsea. Both Manchester clubs are rolling on the floor laughing right now. A donkey at a thoroughbred race. Joe Wedgwood: Would 100% prefer Matt Miazga to the walking calamity that is David Luiz....Conte, have you gone potty? Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing. But not everyone was convinced his return was going to be a disaster... Joe Borko: Koulibaly would have been a panic buy, not David Luiz. Luiz will be a great asset. D.Tee: David Luiz. One of my favourite players. Full of verve! Will make Chelsea stronger. No doubt. Darren Long: Great to have David Luiz back! Time to take our title back. And alongside Luiz winning over many of the pundits, he has also convinced BBC Sport readers of his worth. More than 40% of users picked the Chelsea defender when they selected their own Premier League team of the year - only narrowly the second most popular centre-back after Spurs' Toby Alderweireld. The pairing of Luiz and Alderweireld was selected in just under 50% of all teams picked. So what has changed for Luiz? Very little, according to Nevin. The former Chelsea winger believes it is not simply because of Italian manager Conte or his tactics. Nevin believes it is down to the 29-year-old growing in experience and maturity. "I think the understanding of him is better and people are taking their blindfolds off slightly," said the former Scotland international. "He's still the same player. "It helps playing three at the back - but that would help anyone. With two people around him, his ability to read the game and pass becomes more obvious. "Every centre-back you ever see does not peak until he is 27 or 28, they are very few centre-backs, and you look back through history, that were absolutely brilliant at 23 or 24. "Yes, he's improving but he's on the same improvement curve as every other centre-back." Chelsea v Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final is live on Saturday, 22 April on BBC One from 16:50 BST and on BBC Radio 5 live from 17:15 BST, along with live text commentary online. Media playback is not supported on this device The 22-21 loss marked the Blues' warm-up for their European Challenge Cup quarter-final away at Gloucester. "To come to Leinster, lose by one point with two clear-cut opportunities to win is something to be proud of," he said. Meanwhile, Wales prop Gethin Jenkins returned after more than three months out with a bicep injury. Jenkins' arrival as a second-half replacement could not halt a string of scrum penalties in Leinster's favour, however, which proved crucial to their victory along with a series of line-out steals. The Welsh side came close to causing an upset as scrum-half Tomos Williams, twice, and replacement back-rower Sion Bennett finished off three long-distance moves before wing Tom James came close to a fourth with five minutes left. "We certainly struggled at the scrums today, we went into the game with a tight-head [Anton Peikrishvili] who had a back issue, that surfaced quickly and we got very disjointed in that area," Wilson added. "Having said that, we defended against huge pressure, and we scored three great tries off turn-over. "So there's a lot of positives in there, but the difference was that power game they can play." Wilson could also take heart from a powerful performance by Wales wing Alex Cuthbert, who was discarded from the national side after the Six Nations defeat against England. "Hopefully that'll do him the world of good in terms of confidence, and do us all good going to Gloucester next weekend for a big quarter-final" Wilson told BBC Wales Sport. With no automatic Champions Cup spot for the Challenge Cup winners, Wilson's side are now almost certain to be one of four teams in a play-off for the last top-tier place in Europe, along with English, French, and Pro12 opponents. "We've still got a lot to play for this season, and we'll go into next week excited about playing for silverware," said centre Steve Shingler. "I'm looking forward to Gloucester after that performance, it's total confidence we can go there and do a job. "They've got a lot of quality, they've got backs who can carve any team up so we'll have to be sharp in defence. "They're similar to us, they've had an up and down season, they've turned some big teams over and lost others they should have won, so it'll be all to play for." Both Gloucester and Cardiff Blues are eighth in their respective leagues ahead of their Kingsholm clash on Saturday, 1 April. He scored 12 goals in 23 games for the Bees after returning from a loan spell with Spanish club Eibar in January. The 25-year-old joined Brentford from Celta Vigo in 2014, and has made 74 appearances for the club. Brentford finished 10th in the Championship table this season, 16 points outside the play-off places. Figures obtained by BBC News through a Freedom of Information request show an 80% rise to more than 9,000 clampings a month. The DVLA says it has stepped up enforcement to send a message to drivers that they have to pay. But some people complain they forgot to renew because they didn't have a disc on the windscreen to remind them. Joanne McCusker, a nurse from Salford, came home after a 13-hour shift to find that her car had been clamped. "I think it's awful," she says, "In all my years of driving, I've missed one payment and that was only since they've removed the tax disc." Joanne had to pay £340 before she could get the clamp removed. The charges can rack up even higher than that. There is a £100 release fee on the first day, then the vehicle is taken to the car pound, where the fee doubles to £200. Add to that a car pound charge of £21 a day and a possible Late Licensing Penalty of £80 -- and, of course, the tax you owe. After seven to 14 days, depending on the state of the car, they can send it to be crushed, broken up or sold. The big increase in clamping has coincided with the DVLA farming out the work to a private firm, NSL, whose job is to scour each UK postcode area twice a year for untaxed vehicles. Its 75 clamping vans are equipped with cameras and the DVLA's database. They can identify the non-payers by checking number plates as they drive by. "The law is that you pay your tax," says the DVLA's chief executive, Oliver Morley, "The vast majority pay with no problem at all." But there seems little doubt that the big increase in clampings is partly the result of people forgetting to pay without the paper tax disc to jog their memory. The data obtained by BBC News through a Freedom of Information request shows that there were 5,100 a month over the six months up to October, 2014, when the disc was abolished. However, in the latest six months, up to October this year, the average shot up to 9,200 a month. Oliver Morley points out that car owners are sent reminders, either to their home address or by email. But mix-ups can happen when people move or switch emails. That's what was behind Joanne McCusker's clamping. She moved and never received the reminder. Her family had informed the DVLA that the addresses on their driving licences needed to change, thinking that all the DVLA's records would be updated at the same time. But they were wrong. "I think it's a bit heavy-handed. There could be another way, I'm sure, rather than have it clamped," Joanne says. "It is very unfair - I was quite shocked and upset." Lewis Powter was reported missing by authorities at HMP Hollesley Bay after failing to appear for roll call at 20:00 BST on Sunday. The 30-year-old, who was serving an indeterminate sentence for grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, was last seen at 18:50 BST. Another inmate, Paul Oddysses, 49, absconded on Saturday afternoon. Suffolk Police said Powter - who has a Dennis the Menace tattoo on his right arm - had connections with the Cambridgeshire area. He is described as white, about 5ft 10ins tall, of medium build, with brown hair, blue eyes and is clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a blue jumper with a white t-shirt, blue jeans and white Ralph Lauren trainers. On Saturday, Hollesley Bay contacted Suffolk Police just after 13:00 BST reporting Oddysses had left the premises. He was serving a life sentence for attempted robbery and robbery with a firearm. He has connections in the Hertfordshire and Essex areas and is known to frequent Enfield in North London. Brian Claassen, of March, Cambridgeshire pleaded guilty to assaulting the girl at Lifestyle Portraits Ltd in Swindon town centre in 2016. Claassen, 40, also admitted possessing 166 indecent images of children. He was jailed for three years and four months at Portsmouth Crown Court. Det Con Mark Harris of Wiltshire Police said: "Without the questioning nature of this young girl, who told her mum and dad in the first place, and the help and support her parents have given our investigation team, it's possible Claassen's activities could have gone undetected. "Instead, their vital evidence has led to a guilty plea and sentence." Cash earnings rose to 5.84bn Australian dollars ($4.15bn; £2.71bn), but that was below forecasts of about A$6.3bn. The bank also announced it would sell most of its life insurance business and that its demerger from its UK business should be finalised by early next year. NAB is one of the country's big four banks, and the largest by assets. The lender's Sydney-listed shares closed down 2.2% following the results. The cash earnings number strips out some one-off accounting items and is the bank's preferred reporting measure. NAB's net profit came to 6.34bn Australian dollars ($4.5bn; £2.97bn) for the period - a rise of 19.7% for the year to September compared with a year earlier. Australia's big banks are regarded as highly profitable and include the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, ANZ and Westpac. The big four lenders came out of the global financial crisis relatively unscathed, but are now facing tighter regulatory controls. The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has told the country's lenders to increase the amount of capital they put aside in order to protect their mortgage businesses. In its annual results announcement on Wednesday, the NAB said that it would sell 80% of its life insurance business to Japan's Nippon Life Insurance Company - one of the world's leading life insurers. The lender's shares were halted from trade on Tuesday ahead of pending news of the "material transaction". The insurance arm sale was worth $2.4bn, the bank said, and represented "an attractive long term partnership with a high quality partner". The banking giant also said it was "pleased to confirm" the demerger and initial public offering of its UK Clydesdale Banking Group - which chief executive Andrew Thorburn said was expected to be completed in early February next year. "This follows the completion of the Great Western Bank (GWB) sell-down, the finalisation of the life reinsurance transaction, and the sale of most of our UK commercial real estate portfolio," Mr Thornburn added. The sale of the UK business, which had been underperforming, was in line with the lender's strategy to focus on its Australian and New Zealand operations, it said. The men were sentenced to more than 40 years in prison. A third man accused of masterminding the attack was acquitted. Jose Claudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria do Espirito Santo da Silva, were shot dead in a forest reserve in the northern state of Para. The couple were known for campaigning against illegal logging in the Amazon and had faced numerous threats. The police said the couple had been opposing the eviction of rural workers from land owned by a local farmer. The farmer was found not guilty of arranging the killings by the judge in Maraba in northern Brazil on Thursday. However, two other men - Alberto Lopes do Nascimento and Lindonjonson Silva Rocha - were imprisoned for 45 years and 42 years respectively. At the time of the murder, police said two gunmen hid in the forest early in the morning and shot the couple as they slowed down to cross a bridge on a motorbike. The campaigners had lived in the town of Nova Ipixuna for 18 years. A sister of Mr Silva, Claudelice Silva, told Globo TV in Brazil that they had many enemies. "There were a lot of people who wanted them dead because they constantly denounced environmental crimes," she said. Local authorities say they often reported on the illegal activities of loggers and cattle ranchers in the region. The Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, ordered a federal police investigation at the time, and the authorities promised to increase protection for environmental activists most at risk. A group that keeps a tally of land-related threats and deaths, the Catholic Land Pastoral, said last month that illegal logging and the resulting conflicts were responsible for most of the 32 murders of local activists last year. It said most of the murders were carried out by gunmen hired by loggers, ranchers and farmers to silence protests over illegal logging and land rights in the Amazon rainforest. The New Zealander takes charge of Scotland for the final time on Saturday, when Italy visit Murrayfield at the end of the Six Nations campaign. "He's certainly leaving Scotland in a better state than he found it," said Nicol of Cotter's three-year reign. "He has brought reality and a belief with the improvements he's made. He was so close to a World Cup semi-final." Cotter will switch to French Top 14 side Montpellier in the summer, with Gregor Townsend moving to Murrayfield from his role as head coach at Glasgow Warriors. "The team is playing better, the players have developed in his three years and he's done a great job, in my opinion," the former scrum-half told BBC Radio Scotland. "Let's just ignore what happened at Twickenham last Saturday (the 61-21 defeat to England) because if Scotland win tomorrow this will have been a great Six Nations. "Potentially, with results elsewhere, we could finish second, which would be a fantastic result. "Gregor Townsend will be taking over with a really good squad, good age demographic. They are playing really good rugby and they can play even better. I think the future is very bright." Nicol believes the Scotland players will be motivated to rediscover the form they showed in the home wins against Ireland and Wales and the 22-16 defeat by France in Paris. "They'll be desperate to go out and prove to themselves, to the coaches, to the Scottish public, that what we saw at Twickenham was not the real Scotland," he said, looking forward to the match against the Azzurri. "I'll put the England game down to a very bad day at the office, but I expect us to get back to the levels we showed in the first three games, playing with attacking prowess, with a bit of bite in defence and tactically being spot on. "I expect a different Scotland to what we saw last week." The Norholm lost engine power at about 20:00 on Sunday and was drifting towards the coast in a westerly gale. The Stornoway coastguard helicopter was scrambled in case the four-man crew had to abandon ship. But the Lochinver lifeboat - which also went to the scene - managed to hold the Norholm off the shore. The Thurso lifeboat is now also on its way to provide assistance along with the coastguard tugboat Herakles. The body of Trevor Hadlow, 70, was discovered at an address in Capstone Road, Gillingham, on Tuesday morning. His family said: "Trevor was quite a character, who enjoyed the outdoor life. He was always willing to help out friends and neighbours." The teenager, from Sheerness, has been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates in Medway on Monday. He has also been charged with attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving. The additional charges related to an incident in High Street, Eastchurch, on 8 July in which a traffic warden was injured, Kent Police said. Anne Walden, 101, who was an undergraduate from 1932 to 1936, returned to campus to visit the D'Arcy Thomson Zoology Museum. The visit also marked a return to her birthplace in Balfour Street, now the site of student accommodation halls. Mrs Walden taught at the university following her graduation in 1936. She was captain of the athletics team as an undergraduate and graduated with first class honours in zoology and mathematics. Mrs Walden's son Neil, who accompanied her on the visit, said: "Eighty years ago, my mother was awarded the Carnegie Grant, which is really the main reason she was able to go to university in the first place. "She had a remarkable time here and it really set her off into a career working in museums where she ultimately met my father. "It has been three years since we have come back to the university but it is always a pleasure to see the changes here and in the city, and the recent changes are very impressive." Mrs Walden has donated her degree classification, photographs of the university college and other documents of her experiences in Dundee to the university archives. BST have not attended home matches at Bloomfield Road this season in protest at the ownership of the Oyston family. Blackpool will secure a return to League One if they beat Exeter. "I'm really torn here as this is the first play-off final I've not been to for over a quarter of a century," said BST chairman Steve Rowland. He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Sadly, the majority of fans won't be going this year but we'll still be hoping the team wins, obviously. "I think they'll be lucky to get 5,000 fans going to the game. The majority will be watching in pubs." When contacted by BBC Radio Lancashire on Friday for the amount of tickets sold, Blackpool said more than 5,700 had been purchased so far. By contrast, when the Tangerines were at Wembley for the 2010 and 2012 Championship play-off finals they reportedly took over 30,000 fans for each game. Protests about how owner Owen Oyston and his son, chairman Karl, are running the club took place outside Bloomfield Road before their final home game of the season against Leyton Orient, as well as a joint protest in January with Blackburn supporters before their FA Cup tie. In 2011, Blackpool fans were contemplating life back in the second tier after a one-season stay in the Premier League, only being relegated on the final day of the campaign at Manchester United. Since then, the Seasiders spent three seasons in the Championship and then suffered back-to-back relegations to drop to League Two for the first time since 2000-01. "If they do win and get promoted it won't change the position, the majority of people will not be buying season tickets next season," added Rowland. "The Oystons need to understand this and if they really have the best interests of this club, the community and the town at heart, they'll put the club up for sale." For Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer, the final on Sunday is already a significant date in the diary. "I'm reliably informed it is my wedding anniversary as well so I've got a great opportunity this year of getting that right," said the 45-year-old. He joked: "It's a special date, a top day for her. All expenses spared, she can't be moaning at this one." As well as the club looking to recover, Bowyer had been looking for some personal rehabilitation. Sacked by Blackburn in November 2015 under difficult financial circumstances where he was unable to buy players, he was appointed by Blackpool at the start of the season on a 12-month rolling deal and built an almost completely new squad. A win on Sunday would mean he would face his former club in League One next season after Rovers' relegation from the Championship. "I was out of work and it was very difficult to take," he added. "This presented an opportunity to be back in work. "I was aware of what needed to be done in terms of building the stability and laying some foundations down and I was able to call on my experience at Blackburn - I've found over the course of the year it has helped me."

The earnings estimate is higher than analysts predicted and would mark its highest quarterly profit since 2013. In October, the world's largest smartphone maker had to scrap the Note 7 after batteries caught fire and even replacement devices went up in smoke. The strong results are due to Samsung's semiconductor and display businesses. The South Korean tech giant said it expected to post 9.2tn won ($7.8bn, £6.2bn) in operating profit for the months from September to December. "When you look at the headlines over the last couple of months it's always been about exploding batteries and doom for Samsung," Bryan Ma, technology consultant with IDC told the BBC. "But we've got to keep in mind that that's not their only business - what's really driving these earnings is strong demand for memory and displays. And they are really, really profitable businesses." In an earlier profit forecast for the fourth quarter, Samsung had said it expected the Note 7 recall would mean a $2.1bn hit to their profits. The company first issued a recall for the Galaxy Note 7 in September following complaints about exploding batteries. After replacement devices deemed safe were also found to overheat and catch fire, the company scrapped the phone entirely. "Yet the end of the day, what happened with the Note 7 - as painful as it was - bounced right off of Samsung because all their other business helped offset it," Mr Ma said. Samsung said that it will "very soon" share details of its inquiry into the cause of the Note 7 problems. The company will disclose a detailed earnings release for the quarter in late January which will give more insights into the performance of its individual businesses. The inquest into the IRA murder of 10 Protestant workmen is continuing at Belfast Coroners' Court. It has been hearing from a police intelligence officer, known as J2. On Tuesday, he told the inquest the 11 guns used in the Kingsmills attack had been used in over 40 serious terrorist incidents in a 15-year period. One of the weapons, an Armalite assault rifle, had first been used in the murder of two soldiers from the Parachute Regiment in March 1974. The same weapon was used 15 years later, in March 1989, in the murders of Ch Supt Harry Breen and Supt Bob Buchanan in south Armagh. Ch Supt Breen was the most senior RUC officer killed during the Troubles. In all, four Armalites, two rifles, a semi automatic rifle, a carbine, a sub-machine gun, a shotgun and a revolver were used in the Kingsmills massacre. Officer J2 stated it was clear the weapons had been used in a "reasonably localised general area" in murders, attempted murders and other gun attacks, for which some people were later convicted. The inquest was told one small close-knit group of terrorists in south Armagh may have been using the weapons for a time. J2 added that it was the PSNI's current assessment that the Provisional IRA carried out the Kingsmills murders, using the cover name of the South Armagh Republican Action Force. On Monday, the inquest was told that 13 suspects are listed in security documents linked to the 1976 massacre. The 10 workmen were shot dead on 5 January 1976 after the gunmen stopped their van and asked which among them was a Catholic, and instructed that man to leave the scene. No-one has ever been held to account for the murders. The inquest was halted in June 2016 after just a month, and after hearing evidence and statements from 53 witnesses. The adjournment came after the PSNI arrested a man in connection with the murders. That followed the discovery that a left palm print was recovered from a window of a vehicle used by the attackers. It is understood the print matched the man arrested in the Newry area. Earlier this year the Public Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute the man, saying the test for prosecution had not been met.

Roedd Saunders a Miss Morgan wedi gwahanu y flwyddyn cyn iddi hi a Mr Simmons ddechrau ar berthynas yng Ngorffennaf 2016. Cafodd y cwpl eu darganfod tua 05:50 ar 28 Medi a cafodd y stryd brysur ei chau yn syth. Clywodd Llys y Goron Caerdydd bod tystion wedi gweld Saunders yn ymosod ar Mr Simmons yn gyntaf, gan ei drywanu "bedair neu bump gwaith". Wrth ddedfrydu Saunders i garchar, dywedodd y barnwr Mrs Ustus Nichola Davies fod yr ymosodiad yn un "ciaidd a diystyr". Clywodd y llys bod Miss Morgan wedi ceisio helpu ei chariad yn ystod yr ymosodiad ond fe gafodd ei gwthio i ffwrdd gan Saunders ac yna fe redodd ar ei hôl ar Heol y Frenhines. Llwyddodd i'w dal o flaen siop Boots ac fe ymosododd arni â chyllell. Ar ôl yr ymosodiad, ffoniodd Saunders ei fam a dywedodd wrthi ei fod wedi lladd y cwpl. Anfonodd hefyd neges destun i'w dad gan ddweud "diolch am fod yn dad pathetig a di-werth. Newydd ladd dau o bobol, hwyl". Clywodd y llys bod Saunders wedi dychwelyd i'w gartref teuluol ac wedi diweddaru ei gyfrif Facebook gyda rhegfeydd ac yna ysgrifennodd y frawddeg "dim ond cynnyrch cymdeithas". Daeth heddlu o hyd iddo ac fe atebodd y drws gyda gwn. Cafodd ei arestio ac fe ddywedodd wrth swyddogion: "Rwy'n flin, chi'n gwybod weithiau, chi jyst yn ei cholli hi." Ychwanegodd: "Rwy'n flin iawn am yr hyn rwy' wedi'i wneud. Fe wnes i golli pob rheolaeth." Fe gyfeiriodd yr heddlu at un o'r cyllyll a gafodd ei defnyddio yn yr ymosodiad, oedd wedi'i gorchuddio mewn hances bapur a'i gadael yn y gegin. Roedd y gyllell arall, dywedodd, wedi ei thorri yn ystod yr ymosodiad ac wedi'i gadael yng Nghaerdydd. Wedi'r ddedfryd, dywedodd teuluoedd Zoe Morgan a Lee Simmons eu bod yn siomedig nad oedd y ddedfryd a gafodd Andrew Saunders yn ddigon llym. Mewn datganiad, dywedodd teulu Zoe Morgan na fydd eu bywydau fyth yr un fath eto, ac y bydd yr hunllef yn parhau gyda nhw am byth: "Rydym wedi derbyn dedfryd oes ein hunain gan yr unigolyn afiach hwn. "Pa hawl oedd gan Andrew Saunders i'w chymryd i ffwrdd oddi wrthym?" Dywedodd teulu Lee Simmons: "Ni fydd unrhyw ddedfryd neu gosb fyth yn gwneud yn iawn am golli bywyd Lee. "Mae'r holl deulu wedi ei chwalu gan yr ymosodiad erchyll hwn oedd heb reswm ac rydym wedi dioddef sioc enbyd o achos natur milain yr ymosodiad. "Mae wedi cael effaith anferth ar ein teulu ni a theulu Zoe, a hefyd rydym yn credu ei fod wedi effeithio ar deulu Andrew Saunders. "Fyddwn ni byth yn gallu maddau iddo am gipio Lee oddi wrthym ond fe hoffem ddiolch i'w deulu am gydweithio'n llawn gyda'r heddlu er mwyn sicrhau ei fod wedi cael ei arestio a'i gael yn euog yn gyflym." Dywedodd Catrin Evans, erlynydd rhanbarthol gyda Gwasanaeth Erlyn y Goron: "Roedd hwn yn ymosodiad direswm, creulon, a bwriadol. "Roedd Saunders yn bresennol yn y man ymhell cyn i'r ddau gyrraedd y gweithle gan ymosod arnynt. Ni ddangosodd unrhyw gonsyrn am ei ddioddefwyr, na thuag at y rhai oedd yn gallu gweld yr olygfa frawychus o drais a ddigwyddodd o'u blaen. "Mae'n meddyliau ni gyda teuluoedd Zoe a Lee." Ar ran Heddlu De Cymru, dywedodd y Ditectif Arolygydd fod Saunders wedi ei ddedfrydu i garchar am oes am ei lofruddiaethau "ciaidd ac oeraidd". Ychwanegodd: "Mae e yn llofrudd oeraidd ac amcanus oedd wedi cynllunio'r drosedd hon dros nifer o wythnosau. "Fe laddodd y ddau berson ifanc hyfryd yna allan o genfigen anaeddfed nad oes modd ei esbonio na'i ddeall gan unrhyw berson yn ei iawn bwyll. "Dyw e heb gynnig esboniad i leddfu'r boen na dangos edifeirwch. Mae o wirioneddol yn ddyn ffiaidd." The arrival of Leone Nakarawa in 2013 and his departure, to France, this summer were two seismic days in the history of the Warriors. Nakarawa was a giant in physical stature and a colossus of entertainment and public relations, a player whose world class was obvious and whose box office appeal to young and old was incalculable and irreplaceable. The rugby show at Scotstoun has lost its ringmaster to the riches of the Top 14. What a gap the great man leaves behind. Gregor Townsend has to find a way of plugging that gap. Few will doubt him. The Pro12 season begins this weekend and while Leinster are deemed favourites to lift the title, Glasgow are second. They may have lost their crown and their phenomenon in the second row, but there's a formidable group and culture there - and a deeply canny coach. There is new blood. Well, newish. Corey Flynn, the former All Black hooker, is 35 years old, and Nemia Kenatale, the 39-times capped Fijian scrum-half, is 30. The other notables are Leonardo Sarto, the hulking wing from Italy, Tjiuee Uanivi, the lock from Namibia, Djustice Sears-Duru, the prop from Canada and Jarrod Firth, another prop, from New Zealand. These are troubling times for the Pro12. Mark Dodson, the chief executive of Scottish Rugby, and Philip Browne, his counterpart in Ireland, have sent up distress flares about the chronic need for change. More television revenue is needed or the future is bleak. There is talk about creating a franchise in the east coast of America in an attempt to tap into a new and potentially vast market. For all the Pro12's problems - its lack of money, glamour and crowds in comparison to the rich leagues of England and France - there is one unarguable strength and that is its growing importance to those who compete in it. For much of its history, the Pro12 was an after-thought to the three giant provinces in Ireland, a training exercise for the stuff that really mattered to them - Europe. Leinster, Munster and Ulster could compete among the elite back then. These were the days before the English and French went into overdrive with their TV deals. The Pro12 was a warm-up act to facilitate the greater ambition. Those days are disappearing fast. Whether they're returning anytime soon is doubtful. For the first time since the turn of the millennium, none of the Irish teams made it to the quarter-finals of Europe last season. Ulster were close, Munster and Leinster a mile off. For the pair of them, there was humiliation along the way. In the age of the super-rich clubs in England and France, the Pro12 is fast becoming their only chance of silverware. Munster are coming into this with a new coaching team, headed by former Springbok Rassie Erasmus. The two-time European champions are in need of change. When they get their players fit - critical men such as Peter O'Mahony and Francis Saili are still on the treatment table - and assimilate their new South African lock, Jean Kleyn, then Munster will be decent but you wonder if their squad is deep enough for the long haul. Ulster have brought in the brilliant Kiwi full-back Charles Piutau and the forceful Springbok back-row Marcell Coetzee who, admittedly, won't be back from injury until early next year. Having made the Pro12 semi-finals last year, Ulster will be a short price to do the same again. The champions Connacht? They've lost key men - Robbie Henshaw, AJ MacGinty and, most wounding of all, the rock of their pack, Aly Muldowney. Things will be different for the champions. They have several players who were unwanted by Ireland a year ago but who will now be taken from them by Joe Schmidt at various points of the season. Townsend, and others, have had their squad affected significantly by Test rugby for some time. Connacht coach Pat Lam is about to experience that. Leinster 's strong title credentials are built on a huge squad with a battalion of young players on the verge of a breakthrough. Luke Fitzgerald and Eoin Reddan have retired and their loss will be felt. Ben Te'o, one of their most important players last season, has gone to England. Ian Madigan has gone to France. They have Henshaw, but he is out for six weeks. There's huge pressure on Leo Cullen, the coach. He needs to make something happen this season. Scarlets have strengthened, arguably, more than anybody else. Jonathan Davies has come in from Clermont, Rhys Patchell arrives from Cardiff Blues, Werner Kruger - acquired from the Bulls - looks an excellent acquisition in the front row and Johnny McNicholl, the former Crusaders wing/full-back, could be the signing of the summer. What of Edinburgh? They have a group capable of a top-four placing but you could not hang your hat on them. With a ninth-place finish last season, there are questions about inconsistency and underachievement. Until there are sustained signs of a shift in that respect, then they cannot be trusted to push for the top positions. We always expect Glasgow to deliver in the Pro12 because they have been doing it for so long. The hope for them is that Townsend's impending exit next June, to replace Vern Cotter as Scotland coach, is not a distraction. It shouldn't be. Good players do not look for excuses - and Glasgow still have an awful lot of good players. There are many teams in the mix for the title: Leinster, Ulster, Munster, Scarlet, Connacht. Edinburgh as well, perhaps, if they can find their form. The side they'll all be looking out for warily, though, is Glasgow. The Warriors may have lost their title but they haven't lost their reputation. The 31-year-old defender has made 240 appearances for 16th-placed Town since joining from Nottingham Forest in 2012, including 47 this season. Chambers reportedly nearly left Town to return to Forest in January. "I never envisaged leaving. The last six months have been a bit strange," he said. "Now we want to be fighting in and around the play-offs next year." The news of Chambers' fresh deal comes after Ipswich announced that youngsters Michael Crowe, Monty Patterson, Shane McLoughlin, Chris Smith, James Blanchfield and George Fowler have all had 12-month options on their current contracts taken up by the club. Issa Timamy, governor of Lamu County where the town is located, is due to appear in court on Thursday. President Uhuru Kenyatta has blamed "local political networks" for the violence. But the Somali Islamist group, al-Shabab, said it was behind the attacks. President Kenyatta has dismissed al-Shabab's claims because members of one ethnic group were targeted in the attacks. Most of the dead were ethnic Kikuyus, like the president. Non-Muslims were singled out to be killed. Mr Timamy belongs to the United Democratic Front (UDF), an affiliate of Mr Kenyatta's governing Jubilee coalition. Opposition parties have ridiculed Mr Kenyatta's claim and opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for dialogue with the government to address the security failings. The authorities also announced on Wednesday that they had arrested 13 alleged separatists accused of planning more attacks on the coast. In a statement, the interior ministry said those arrested were suspected of plotting "ethnic cleansing" attacks and were members of the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC), a coastal separatist group. On Tuesday, five people were killed in attack by an armed gang on the village of Witu, about 15km (nine miles) from the town of Mpeketoni. Last week's attacks in Mpeketoni started on the evening of 15 June as locals were watching a football World Cup match on television. Gunmen went on to carry out further assaults in villages nearby the next day. The Kenyan government has since issued advice urging people to watch World Cup matches at home rather than gathering in bars or others public places. Waymo, set up by Google owner Alphabet, is taking legal action against Otto, Uber's self-driving vehicle unit that it bought last year for $700m. The lawsuit argues that former Waymo manager Anthony Levandowski took information when he left to co-found a venture that became Otto. Uber said it took the allegations seriously and would review the matter carefully. The lawsuit alleges that Mr Levandowski "downloading 14,000 highly confidential and proprietary design files" during his time as a Google employee. "We believe these actions were part of a concerted plan to steal Waymo's trade secrets and intellectual property," Waymo said. Alphabet created Waymo earlier this year as a way of bringing self-driving technology - which Google has been working on for years - to market. In a blog post detailing the action, Waymo said it was a difficult move to bring the legal action. "Our parent company Alphabet has long worked with Uber in many areas, and we didn't make this decision lightly," the blog said. "However, given the overwhelming facts that our technology has been stolen, we have no choice but to defend our investment and development of this unique technology." The technology in question is LiDAR, a laser-based radar system that helps the self-driving cars "see" what is around them. In court documents filed on Thursday, Waymo alleges one of its employees was recently copied in to an email intended for Otto's staff. Attached to the email were said to be machine drawings of Otto's LiDAR circuit board. "Its design bore a striking resemblance to Waymo's unique LiDAR design," Waymo said. "We found that six weeks before his resignation this former employee, Anthony Levandowski, downloaded over 14,000 highly confidential and proprietary design files for Waymo's various hardware systems, including designs of Waymo's LiDAR and circuit board. "To gain access to Waymo's design server, Mr Levandowski searched for and installed specialised software onto his company-issued laptop. Once inside, he downloaded 9.7 GB of Waymo's highly confidential files and trade secrets, including blueprints, design files and testing documentation. "Then he connected an external drive to the laptop. Mr Levandowski then wiped and reformatted the laptop in an attempt to erase forensic fingerprints."

The Bank said some lenders could help themselves by selling off assets. Sir John has warned that this could lead to a "fire sale". Sources close to the Bank insist that it monitors and must approve plans for asset sales during economic stress to show that the sales could still be beneficial. During the financial crisis, bad loan losses chewed through banks' capital reserves and lenders including Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds had to be given new capital by taxpayers, making them part-nationalised. Parliament's Treasury Committee, which has the responsibility of examining the government's work on economic and regulatory matters, is aiming to discover whether new plans for banks will mean they can avoid needing taxpayer help the next time trouble calls. As part of evidence published earlier this month, the Bank of England said one way for a bank to bolster its capital when it was facing low expected profitability due to high costs rather than poor lending, was to sell some of its loans. Sir John has replied in a letter seen by the BBC, and said this plan may work if only that one bank is in trouble. However, he warned that during another widespread crisis, this may be seen by other banks and investors as a so-called "fire sale", where the assets, or loans, would be considered damaged goods by potential buyers and end up selling at a knock-down price. "Systemic crisis risk is the principal risk that regulation should guard against," Sir John wrote in the letter to the Bank. "The prudent stress test question, then, is whether the bank can meet its obligations without resorting to asset sales. It is not whether it can do so on the assumption that assets can be sold at good prices." The bank has previously said that a sale may not be allowed if "the sale of a business unit may not be executable in the stress scenario or may not yield the full capital benefit the bank expects." "Sir John's letter is puzzling and wrong. The Bank of England conducts rigorous stress tests of major banks. In those tests, any bank that assumes it would sell assets in a stress must also assume that they would be sold at very low prices. Such sales do not help banks withstand stresses," the Bank said in a statement. Sir John, who has served as chief economist for the Bank of England and is now professor and warden of All Souls College, Oxford, has cautioned his former employer before over its approach to capital. Capital is considered vital to a bank's safety, as it serves to protect it from sudden losses. It comes in many forms, but the most common is funding from shareholders, who expect a hefty return on the risk they are taking. Last year, Sir John said the central bank needed to demand a deeper capital buffer from the banks, calling it an "insurance policy" against harder times and deserving "full cover". The exchange is part of a wider debate over how banks should be managed and policed and whether they are still too big to be rescued by the private sector. Stricter accounting rules, stress tests, stricter liability for bank directors and plans to dismantle failing banks have at various stages been discussed as the solution. Grower Chris Chinn, of Ross on Wye, said he was "absolutely astonished" to see the crop, usually harvested in early March, two months earlier. But after the warmest December on record, he said it was "not that surprising". The Met Office confirmed on Tuesday December was the wettest and warmest since records began in 1910. Updates on this story and more from Herefordshire Temperatures were about 7.9C (46F). Mr Chinn, whose 1,000-acre family-run farm supplies Marks and Spencer with the vegetable, told BBC News his asparagus grows in temperatures above 6C (42F), and they normally expect to see the first spears by Valentine's Day. "It's been the warmest December on record and this asparagus will grow over about 6C and if you look back at records over December, it was more or less 6C, including in the night time, so it's not that surprising I guess?," he said. He said he came to check on the crop this week before sealing the polytunnels, but was stunned to see the fully-grown spears. "It's just emerged through January and presumably started growing in December. "I definitely didn't expect to see it. "We came up here to check the tunnels had weathered the storms over Christmas... and thought we'd seal the doors down as normally we're harvesting in early March, so we're absolutely astonished." The traditional start of the season is 23 April and runs through to mid-June. Mr Chinn said the crops would reach chefs around the country this weekend and if the warm spell stays, they could start to appear in supermarkets in the coming weeks. However, he said the predicted cold snap next week could slow growth, but would not ruin the crop. The 21-year-old joined the Cherries in 2013 from non-league Christchurch but is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Premier League club. He spent last season on loan at Yeovil, scoring eight goals in 42 matches to help them avoid League Two relegation. Cornick could make his O's debut in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Gillingham at the Matchroom Stadium. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The 34-year-old art director used to have a long and erratic schedule as a freelancer, but she's now based at one of the first Swedish start-ups to offer a standard six-hour day, in Falun in central Sweden. It's just one of a number of Swedish companies trialling the concept, which is part of a national obsession with work-life balance. "For me it's absolutely fantastic," Erika says. "I have more spare time to train or to be outdoors while it is still daylight, or to do work in my garden." She has no children of her own, but enjoys being able to spend more time with friends and relatives and feels "much less stressed" since her hours were cut. Her boss Jimmy Nilsson, who co-owns digital production company Background AB, launched the initiative in September as part of efforts to create a more productive workforce. "It's difficult to concentrate at work for eight hours, but with six hours you can be more focused and get things done more quickly," he says. His staff are at their desks between 8.30am and 11.30am, take a full hour off for lunch and then put in another three hours before heading back to their homes in the Swedish mountains. They're asked to stay away from social media in the office and leave any personal calls or emails until the end of the day. Salaries have not changed since the initiative started in September. "We're going to try it for nine months and see if it's economical first of all, and secondly if it works for our customers and our staff," Mr Nilsson says. The concept of six hour days is not entirely new in Sweden, although 2015 has seen something of a revival in the idea. At Toyota's service centre on the country's west coast, shifts were cut for mechanics more than a decade ago, and with the company reporting a swift increase in profit, it's stuck with the idea ever since. There were also a handful of trials in the public sector in the 1990s and early 2000s, including one in the northern mining town of Kiruna that ran for 16 years, but was scrapped amid a political row and a lack of raw data to measure its success. In recent months, several start-ups in Stockholm have joined Background AB in testing the concept, alongside two hospital departments in Umea in northern Sweden and a surgery unit at Sahlgrenska University hospital in Gothenburg. The most high profile initiative is at an elderly care home in west Sweden, where 80 nurses switched to six-hour days in February as part of a two-year controlled trial of shorter hours. Eighty staff at a similar care home are continuing to work their usual eight-hour shifts. "It is too early to draw any firm conclusions, but nurses working shorter hours are taking less sick leave and report being less stressed," says Bengt Lorentzon, the lead consultant contracted by Gothenburg City Council to analyse the data. He says patient care appears to have improved, with staff organising more activities such as dance classes, group reading sessions or outdoor strolls. "Right now, we're only looking at early indications, but we can see that the quality of work is higher." Swedish and international policy makers are watching the project closely, with Mr Lorentzon admitting he's been somewhat overwhelmed by the global media interest in his research. He is keen to stress that the six-hour day is still a long way from becoming the working norm in the Scandinavian nation. On the other side of the country, career coach Pia Webb, 40, is flitting between meetings in Stockholm. "I don't know anyone in my network who only works six hours a day," she laughs. "Many of my clients are managing directors who think that work is the most important thing, and [then] realise they haven't spent time with their children." But she says she is not surprised that the short shift trials in Gothenburg and elsewhere have captured so much attention given Sweden's reputation for work-life balance. "Swedish businesses see the link between health and profitability," she says. "Big organisations give out gym passes. There are more flexible hours - you can work your life around picking up and dropping off your children." A former IT manager who admits experiencing burnout herself, she recently penned a self-help book aimed at international professionals titled 'Improve Your Own Quality of Life: The Swedish Way'. Across Sweden, only around 1% of employees work more than 50 hours a week, one of the lowest rates in the OECD, where 13% is the average. By law, Swedes are given 25 vacation days, while many large firms typically offer even more. Parents get 480 days of paid parental leave to split between them. Most offices are empty after 5pm. "It's a very different experience to when I worked in the UK and clients wanted to stay in touch on weekends and during the evening," says Canadian-born Ameek Grewal, 29, who relocated from London to Citibank's Nordic headquarters in Stockholm a year ago. While he argues that the environment might at times feel "frustrating" for those used to putting in longer hours or getting swift responses from clients, he's convinced that the Swedish model brings far greater benefits than drawbacks. "Here there is a mutual respect. I'll wait until office hours to call or email my customers and at the same time I know I won't be phoned when I'm on holiday." But fewer hours do not necessarily lead to less stress, according to Mrs Webb. "The first thing I thought when I heard about six-hour days was 'what are they going to do with their time?'," she says. "I already see a lot of clients who finish work at 4pm to 5pm but they end up trying to take their kids to all these activities, to exercise, to make homemade food… "They have the summer house, they have the boat, so in theory they've got all this stuff to help them relax but it just makes more work for them. It's a very Swedish problem… In theory we have this work-life balance but, actually, we're not very good at sitting around and doing nothing." Maddy Savage is a British journalist based in Stockholm. She is editor of The Local Sweden. The gunmen had fled to the castle after a shooting spree that left 10 people dead including a tourist from Canada and at least four police officers. Police said suicide belts and weapons had been seized at a hideout used by the "terrorist outlaws". However, it was not clear if the men belonged to any militant group. Earlier, the gunmen had opened fire on two police patrols before fleeing to the castle and attacking a police station there, officials said. Several tourists were trapped in the castle but were freed as security forces moved in. At least 27 people have been wounded, some seriously. Jordan's fight against home-grown extremism Jordanian officials said events began earlier in the day with a shoot-out between police and armed men at a house near Karak. The gunmen then fled by car into the city. The security directorate said gunmen had also shot at a security patrol before they reached the castle. Once inside they opened fire on a police station. It is not clear if all the fatalities took place at the castle. Footage on social media purportedly from the scene show armed police moving into the sprawling castle complex and helping tourists when shots ring out and they are forced to retreat. US tourist Avinash Cavale told the BBC he and his wife were arriving by car at the castle when gunfire broke out. "We were about 20m (60ft) from the castle gate when we started hearing gun fire. There were a lot of different types of firing coming from different directions," he said. "We were still in the vehicle and just about to get out, so we closed the doors and local folks were yelling at us to get out. The street was very narrow but we reversed down." Jordan is a close ally of the US and a member of the US-led coalition fighting the so-called Islamic State (IS) group in Syria and Iraq. US forces have trained a small group of Syrian rebels in Jordan as well as Iraqi and Palestinian security forces. IS has previously threatened to "break down" Jordan's borders. In June the group said it was behind a suicide truck-bomb attack that killed six security personnel on the border with Syria. Magnolia Ward, at Summerlands Hospital, is set to close on 12 July, a spokesman for Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said. Four new beds will open on Pyrland ward in Taunton and other spaces will be found in local care homes. A new seven-day community outreach service is also being launched. The Trust's chief operating officer, Andy Heron said: "Having exhausted all recruitment possibilities we were becoming increasingly concerned about our ability to maintain safe nursing levels on every shift at Magnolia Ward and also our increasing reliance on agency staff who do not always know the patients or the ward environment as well as permanent staff when they cover a shift." He added that hospitals in other parts of the country ran outreach services successfully, which involves supporting dementia patients and their carers in their own homes. "The development of this service is being led by our senior clinical staff in Yeovil who are convinced that this new service can make a real difference for patients with dementia and their carers," he said. Mikel, 29, captained his country to bronze in Brazil this summer but has not played for the Blues this season. Rohr said: "There is a reason why Mikel is not playing for Chelsea right now and that reason is because he played for Nigeria at the Olympics." Mikel will play in Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Algeria. The Super Eagles, who failed to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, have set the pace in Group B, winning their opening game against Zambia while Algeria could only draw with Cameroon. Rohr added: "I cannot punish a player who loves his country and shows that he loves the green jersey. "He is here with us and he is fit and I hope he can play for 90 minutes against Algeria but if it is not possible, we shall see." Chelsea declined to comment on Rohr's statement, but when asked about Mikel last week, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said: "Mikel is working very well now. "In the past he's sometimes had some injuries. But now he's working very hard, and I'm pleased with his work-rate."

Rob Page's side started the better and almost went ahead after seven minutes as Matthew Taylor's free-kick - swung in from the left - was beaten away by goalkeeper Connor Ripley into the path of Alex Revell, who could only direct a first-time effort well over the crossbar. Lee Erwin went closest for Latics in the first half. Left-back Charles Dunne made a raid into the 18-yard box and, as his shot was blocked into Lee Croft's path, he teed up Erwin, whose right-footed attempt from the edge of the area was cleared off the line by Aaron Phillips. The second half was a drab affair with few scoring chances. Kenji Gorre poked tamely wide from a promising break in the 88th minute as the hosts looked to break the deadlock, while Oldham substitute Calaum Jahraldo-Martin fired just over from the edge of the penalty area in added time as Stephen Robinson's hosts were left still searching for a first league goal of the campaign.

Mickelson, who celebrates his 46th birthday on Thursday, is a six-time runner-up in the year's second major. "This is the tournament I want to win most to complete the four majors," said Mickelson. "I think about it all the time. "I have to put that out of my head, be patient and not think about results." Only five players - Americans Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, and South African Gary Player - have won a Grand Slam in the modern era. Mickelson has won five majors, the most recent of which was the Open in 2013. He said: "I'm excited I'm at one of my great opportunities. I view this week as a great opportunity to complete something that would be historic in my mind. "This is a whole different style of golf, something that over the years I've become very effective at playing. "I feel like I've learned how to play that style of golf, and this golf course, specifically." Mickelson will play alongside England's Justin Rose and Swede Henrik Stenson for Thursday's opening round. Masters champion Danny Willett will be alongside 2011 winner Rory McIlroy for the first two rounds. Victory would put him halfway to becoming the first man to win all four major tournaments in a calendar year. Englishmen Lee Westwood and Luke Donald will start together, while world number one and defending champion Jordan Spieth begins alongside fellow American Zach Johnson.

Media playback is not supported on this device Substitute Karlan Ahearne-Grant put the visitors in front soon after the break. But City were level just four minutes later when Joe Mason found the net with a close-range finish. After both sides had further chances to score, Morrison rose to head home Peter Whittingham's cross and leave Cardiff fifth and the Addicks down in 17th. The hosts, who were looking to end a two-game losing run, started brightly with Anthony Pilkington seeing a curling effort palmed away by Nick Pope. Morrison then went close when his free header from a Whittingham corner was cleared off the line by Jordan Cousins. But after Morrison was wasteful with another header and Joe Ralls miskicked when clear on goal, Cardiff let the Addicks back into the game. Tony Watt went close with a header before half-time and Ahearne-Grant opened the scoring after the break when he rolled the ball past Simon Moore. The goal provoked a reaction from the hosts as Mason finished from close range - the strike allowed to stand, despite appeals for handball. Mason went close again and Moore denied Watt and Cousins at the other end before, having seen another header go over, Morrison finally hit the target to secure Cardiff the only home win of the day in the Championship. Cardiff manager Russell Slade: "It was important we bounced back and got a reaction from the disappointment of the last two games where we felt we were unfortunate. "Despite our domination in the first half we were unable to convert our chances which was frustrating. "But the good thing is after going a goal down we showed a lot more intensity and deserved the equaliser and the goal that brought us the three points." Media playback is not supported on this device Charlton manager Guy Luzon: "When you lead 1-0 away from home you make sure you show the character and organisation to keep the result. "If you do that you will have space to counter-attack as the game goes on. But we couldn't, though our problem started in the first half as from every set-piece Cardiff won the ball and they had quite a lot of chances to score. "That continued in the second half and we were eventually punished for that." Match ends, Cardiff City 2, Charlton Athletic 1. Second Half ends, Cardiff City 2, Charlton Athletic 1.

Naby Sarr (Charlton Athletic) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul. The New Zealander said he considered making changes after 25 minutes as England took a 16-0 interval lead. Wales scored three second-half tries to threaten a comeback, but fell just short. "I sent a message on at 25 minutes asking if we needed to get some fresh legs out there," he said. "It was a very poor first half by us. At this level that's just not acceptable from us, so I'm very disappointed. "Only the players can answer the question why they were so flat or lethargic in the first half. "There was so much to play for, so much on the line, and unfortunately we didn't turn up in the first 40 minutes." Defeat ended Wales' chances of winning the tournament. England were presented with the Triple Crown after the game and will go to Paris next weekend looking for a first Grand Slam since 2003. Wales can still finish second, but only if they beat Italy and England beat France. Captain Sam Warburton will go through concussion protocols after being taken off on a stretcher late in the second half. Gatland said it was too early to know if he would be available to play against Italy, and hinted he might make changes for the match in Cardiff next Saturday. He praised the impact made by his replacements, singling out hooker Ken Owens for giving his side some "go forward" after coming on. China's state-owned investment group Citic, and US private equity firm Carlyle Group, will take control of the operations in a deal valued at $2.1bn (£1.7bn). McDonald's owns and operates about 65% of its 2,000 China outlets. Franchising allows it to take a slice of sales while cutting operating costs. McDonald's is trying to streamline its global operations, and changing its ownership structure to revolve more around franchises is a major part of that revamp. In March last year, the firm said it was seeking partners to help it add more than 1,500 restaurants in China, Hong Kong and Korea over the next five years. Under the agreement signed Monday, the US fast food giant will keep a 20% stake in its China business. Citic will hold a 52% share in the partnership while Caryle takes 28% of the new business. Competitor Yum Brands, the owner of KFC and Pizza Hut, is also restructuring its China business. Both McDonald's and Yum Brands have been facing increasing competition from cheaper local rivals, particularly in China, where they are trying to recover from food safety scares. Work to mend the A591 and investigate restoring Pooley Bridge and Eamont Bridge is due to begin in the new year. Cumbria County Council leader Stewart Young welcomed the money but said total restoration would cost much more. "Repairing all the infrastructure in Cumbria alone will run into hundreds of millions of pounds," he said. Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the local transport system was "the lifeblood" of the region. "We are determined to help families and businesses in Cumbria and Lancashire get back on their feet as soon as possible," he said. Engineers said severe flooding and landslides caused by Storm Desmond had left parts of the A591 looking "like a bomb site". Derbyshire Constabulary asked for Marcin Jaworski to be added to the sex offenders register, but did not want his name to be published by the media. It argued he may leave the Shirebrook area to avoid public attention owing to hostility against foreign nationals. However, police were successfully challenged by the Derbyshire Times. At the hearing at Chesterfield Magistrates' Court, reporter Jon Cooper argued that publication of the Polish national's was in the public interest and in the interests of public safety. The judge said the media plays a "vital role" in upholding open justice, and rejected the police's application for a reporting restriction. Shirebrook has been referred to as "Sports Direct town" due to the estimated 1,500 people that have moved there to work for the retailer - mainly agency workers from countries such as Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania and Albania. Supt Jim Allen, of Derbyshire Police, said: "Reporting restrictions were requested in this case because of concerns raised by local officers. "There have been widely reported community tensions in the Shirebrook area, in the past, linked to the large number of Eastern European people who now live and work in the area. "We respect the decision of the judge who ruled the case should be heard without restriction." Mr Jaworski was questioned by police after being found drinking in a prohibited area within Shirebrook. Further checks revealed he had been convicted of rape in Poland in 2014, so police applied for an order requiring him to sign the sex offenders register. The hearing was adjourned until 5 May because Mr Jaworski, 20, of Eland Road, Langwith Junction, Shirebrook, was not present. The ruling by US District Judge Andrew Hanen gives a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit aiming to permanently stop the orders. Some parts of the policy would have started to take effect on Wednesday. US Attorney General Eric Holder said he is seeking to overturn the Texas ruling and the courts will ultimately decide. The coalition of states, led by Texas and made up of mostly conservative states in the South and Midwest, say the order would increase costs for law enforcement, health care and education. On Tuesday the White House defended the legality of its policy, announced by President Obama in November after immigration-reform efforts had failed repeatedly in Congress. President Obama's unilateral move angered Republicans who are working to stop the executive action. The House has approved a bill that would remove funding for the policies from the Department of Homeland Security's budget. The measure has failed to pass the Senate and President Obama is expected to veto the bill. Republicans hailed Mr Hanen's injunction. "The Texas court decision reached last night is a major turning point in the fight to stop Obama's lawless amnesty," said Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican. The White House has said Obama's executive order is not out of legal bounds and that the US Supreme Court and Congress have said federal officials can set priorities in enforcing immigration laws. Analysis: Thomas Sparrow, BBC Mundo, Washington Far from the political debate that has dominated immigration, Monday's ruling has the potential to affect millions of undocumented immigrants across the country. In fact, about 270,000 undocumented immigrants will be immediately affected. They came to the US as children and are eligible to apply under a programme that was due to begin this week but has now been postponed. More generally, the halt may also increase the fear many Hispanics around the country feel about releasing their personal information for a programme that is limited in scope, temporary in nature and could be reversed by decisions like the one on Monday. During a recent trip to the US-Mexico border in Texas, we spoke to many undocumented Hispanic immigrants who clearly expressed those fears. One of them even said that "with this announcement, there is no hope, you don't know where your future lies," referring to president Obama's November executive action. More: The silent enemy of Obama's migrant plans Twelve states as well as Washington DC and the US Conference of Mayors have come out in support of President Obama's action, saying it would stimulate the economy. The first of President Obama's orders - to expand a programme that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the US illegally as children - was set to start on Wednesday. The other major part of President Obama's order, which extends deportation protections to parents of US citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until 19 May. Announcing the surprise move in the Black Sea port of Odessa, President Petro Poroshenko said Mr Saakashvili had been granted Ukrainian citizenship. Mr Saakashvili is widely credited with carrying out radical reforms in Georgia during his term in office in 2008-13. However, current Georgian authorities accuse him of abuse of power and have demanded his extradition. Mr Saakashvili left Georgia after his term as president ended in 2013. He denies that charges against him, which he says are politically motivated. The complete surprise of Mikheil Saakashvili's appointment as Odessa governor has left a large number of political observers at a loss for explanation. President Petro Poroshenko's reasons will be come clearer with time, but at the moment, many are struggling to see the strategy behind naming a former leader of another country to run a provincial government. Saakashvili is a political outsider, with few ties to the Odessa region, and comes with a reputation for divisiveness and a high level of self-involvement. But he is a also pro-Western, pro-reform and apparently very loyal to Mr Poroshenko — which will come in handy if he takes on local corruption and vested interests, as Mr Poroshenko apparently wants. The move could be a stroke of genius on Mr Poroshenko's part — or a blunder of breathtaking magnitude. At the very least, it points to his lack of choices among home-grown candidates. President Poroshenko made the announcement at a televised event in Odessa, with Mr Saakashvili standing beside him. "We are united by our love of Odessa and Ukraine," Mr Poroshenko said, adding that that the new governor would bring in discipline and carry out much needed reforms. "In just one year, Oddessites should feel that their living standards are higher." The Ukrainian president also said his decision was part of his drive to limit the political influence of the country's oligarchs. Although there has been so far no official reaction from Russia, Moscow has been highly critical of him after Georgia and Russia fought a brief war in 2008. Unlike Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Odessa has not been hit by the fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels. However, tensions in the strategic port remain high after clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters on 2 May 2014 left more than 40 people dead. The majority of those who died were pro-Russian activists who perished in a fire in a trade union building. Investigations into what caused the blaze are continuing. The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato all say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels in the east with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation. Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are volunteers. More than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting in eastern Ukraine that began in April 2014 when rebels seized large parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This followed Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Mr Paterson, 54, and his wife Rose, rode 14 hours each day on the charity trek across the Mongolian wilderness. The Patersons were the oldest of 23 participants who journeyed to Asia, to retrace the pony express communication trail, first set out during the reign of Mongol emperor Genghis Khan, more than 800 years ago. Among the other politicians who will have to pay up after their epic journey will be Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, while the Royal Irish Regiment's Benevolent Fund will be one of the beneficiaries. Among the other good causes to benefit will be the Midlands Centre for Spinal Injuries. Only 10 of those who took part completed the journey, which featured temperatures fluctuating from freezing to 35C. The North Shrophire MP said it was the hardest thing he had ever done. "One poor guy we were riding with from Hong Kong lost both his thumbs, one guy broke his wrist, we had people with cracked ribs and others had to drop out with severe dehydration," he said. "The horses over there are not fully broken in and live a sort of herd life. The locals had to catch them every morning with a large loop on a pole. "So it was very mentally tiring, you had to concentrate the whole time, you couldn't drift off, because you knew the horse could bolt at any time." He said the journey would change his attitude to life. "A lot of people think they have difficulties, well my goodness they should see the difficulties people have to face out here." Mr Paterson added he was looking forward to collecting the money owed to him by Chancellor George Osborne. "Good businessman that he is, the chancellor promised me a cheque, but only on completion," he said. The vote in favour - by 46 out of 81 MPs - paves the way for Montenegro to join Nato late next month. All but two of Nato's 28 members have ratified the accord. Russia long regarded Montenegro and neighbouring Serbia as allies. It has now banned Montenegrin wine and said it might move to defend Russian interests. The Russian foreign ministry said Montenegro's leadership and its Western backers had "ignored the voice of reason and conscience". "We reserve the right to take steps aimed at defending our interests and national security." Montenegro's Prime Minister, Dusko Markovic, dismissed Russia's wine import ban as politically motivated. Russia cited sanitary concerns. A fifth of all wine exports go to Russia, and the ban will have a significant impact on sales. "It is clear that the decision is in the context of Nato membership," Mr Markovic said. Montenegro, home to about 633,000 people, was granted a membership action plan by Nato in 2009. A decade earlier, Montenegro and Serbia were bombed by Nato planes in a three-month campaign during the Kosovo war. Nato membership remains highly controversial in Montenegro, which broke away from Serbia after the collapse of Yugoslavia, becoming independent in 2006. Earlier this month Montenegro charged 14 people, including two Russians, with plotting to overthrow the government last October. The stadium and training facilities would be built at Kingsford, close to the Aberdeen bypass, near Westhill. The club said the plans for the project would not be put before councillors in June as originally hoped. The decision follows requests from the council and consultees for further information. Aberdeen FC said if planning permission was granted in October, it could still have the stadium completed in 2020. Objectors say concerns include traffic and parking issues. The club believes the new stadium is vital if it is to achieve a sustainable future. He was charged after television pictures captured the incident after the win over Portsmouth on 26 December. An independent regulatory commission decided on Friday the 49-year-old was guilty of a charge of violent conduct. Becchetti, who requested a personal hearing, can appeal against the ruling. The Italian, who bought the O's in summer 2014, had accepted his actions were improper but strongly denied it was violent conduct. "Mr Becchetti is deeply disappointed with the decision that has been taken by the Football Association Regulatory Commission, which he does not believe reflects the events on Boxing Day," said a club statement. "Mr Becchetti will consider an appeal upon reviewing the written reasons of the panel."

The photos support claims that the Macbook Pro will include a panel above its keyboard that replaces physical function keys with a thin display showing touch-sensitive text and graphics, and a fingerprint sensor. The images were discovered in an update to the MacOS operating system and first appeared on the MacRumors news site. Such "accidents" are not uncommon. In September, Apple tweeted and then deleted a video showing off the iPhone 7's new features ahead of its launch. Earlier in April, it referred to MacOS on its website two months before officially revealing it was rebranding the software from its earlier name of OS X. The company's chief executive, Tim Cook, notably promised to "double down on secrecy on products" in 2012 after earlier leaks. But the company is far from being the only one to have problems with the issue. In the past two months alone: Conspiracy theorists have speculated that such leaks could be orchestrated by the manufacturers to boost publicity. But one expert has doubts that is true. "The leaks are massively damaging as these companies want to have their 'wow moments' when products are unveiled, and an explosion of media coverage, rather than a more tepid response because the details are known in advance," said Ben Wood from CCS Insight. "But it seems to have become virtually impossible for any large company to keep new tech products under wraps. "The only recent time such leaks have worked in a company's favour was when it emerged from China that the iPhone 7 was not going to have a dedicated headphone jack. "That helped Apple, as it meant people were less shocked and kind of accepted it was going to be the case when it was confirmed." Apple could not be reached for comment. On Thursday, the council told its staff that all spending on non-statutory services would be frozen until April. Chief executive Pat Flaherty confirmed the email, saying he was "not trying to put any extra strain on staff". Trade union Unison said the freeze "did not come as a shock" and was in talks with the council over the impacts. He added that there no plans to make any staff redundancies but any existing vacancies would not be filled. Mr Flaherty said: "If we can't do it then stop - we won't do it. It doesn't mean [staff] do the extra hours to cover it." The trade union said it was waiting for the results of the risk analysis, which were being made. Oli Foster-Burnell from Unison said: "You're looking at at various services in libraries, highways. "So what does it mean if they don't fill a pothole?... Does that mean they will get more claims from motorists? Is that cost going to get any higher?" Mr Flaherty added that dipping into its £15m of reserves was a last resort to make up the £7m shortfall. The spokesman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "Councils have worked hard over the past five years to deliver a better deal for local taxpayers, while public satisfaction with services has been maintained. "Councils are currently sitting on £22bn in reserves and should make funding decisions that reflect the services local people want to see." Somerset County Council is also expecting to have a further £50m cut out of its budget over the next three years. Authorities in China have provisionally approved nine more trademarks for the Trump Organization that had previously - and inexplicably - been rejected. The company now owns the right to use the Chinese version of Mr Trump's name for various products and services. It comes as the US President fights allegations that his businesses create potential conflicts of interest that may violate the constitution. Three lawsuits, including one by nearly 200 congressional Democrats, have been filed against Mr Trump because of ethics concerns. Critics claim the number of approved trademarks has accelerated since Mr Trump entered the White House. Mr Trump ceded control of his namesake company to his two eldest sons after taking office but retains ownership of the assets. The same goes for his daughter Ivanka Trump, who has a formal White House role as assistant to the president. Lawmakers sue Trump over foreign payments A list of Trump's potential conflicts China has granted formal approval for at least 125 Trump-related copyrights, according to the country's trademark office website. The Trump Organization now own the rights to products such as golf clubs, restaurants and bars, as well as services for massage parlours and social escorts. The Trump Organization's lawyer has said the filings are to defend its brand in China given the country's reputation for counterfeiting. Mr Trump also reportedly applied for trademarks using the name of his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, more than a decade ago. The Agora centre was opened in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, in 1979, but has fallen into disrepair. Brickhill Estates wants to turn the site into 90 flats and 25,000 sq ft (2,322 sq m) of retail space. The proposals have been put on the architect's website for public consultation before a formal planning application is submitted. Neil Hollingworth, director of Brickhill Estates, said: "People refer to the Agora as the spaceship which landed in the centre of Wolverton. "It's totally out of character with the rest of the town. "This plan would rejuvenate and bring forward Wolverton as a town, and provide affordable housing for young people." But Marie Osbourne, director of Future Wolverton, said while the community was "glad to see a plan to get rid of the Agora" there were concerns their hopes for the Agora might not be met. Auction house Tajan said the drawing, one of eight the Renaissance artist made of the martyred Saint Sebastian, was an "extraordinary discovery". The drawing has been authenticated by an expert from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Tajan claims it is the first "new" da Vinci to be discovered in 15 years. Yet a "lost" painting of Christ as Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World) was more recently attributed to him in 2011. According to the New York Times, the sketch came to light when 14 unframed drawings were brought in to Tajan to be valued by Thaddee Prate, its director of old master pictures. Mr Prate spotted "an interesting 16th Century drawing" within the bundle and sought a second opinion from an art expert in Paris. The expert recognised the work was by a left-handed artist and also found two smaller scientific drawings on the back of the sheet. The Metropolitan Museum's expert, Carmen C Bambach, confirmed the work was by da Vinci, who was famously left-handed. The drawing shows Saint Sebastian tied to a tree, with notes and diagrams about light and shadow on the other side. According to Dr Bambach, the drawing was made between 1482 and 1485 when da Vinci was working in Milan. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

But, the annual growth figures still came in higher than market expectations of about 7.2%. China's economy expanded by 7.3% in the October-to-December period from a year earlier. That fourth quarter growth was unchanged from the previous three months, but also slightly above economists' expectations. Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC said the Chinese economy is proving to be more resilient than expected. "Although, at 7.3% last quarter, growth isn't as spectacular as over the past decade, it is still among the world's fastest," he told the BBC. "Especially reassuring is that retail sales and industrial production accelerated in December from the prior year, giving China a bit more momentum heading into the year of the goat." China's retail sales rose 11.9% last month from a year earlier, while factory output rose 7.9% in the same period. Both economic measures beat forecasts. Alaistair Chan, economist at Moody's Analytics said the growth figures were helped by the acceleration in factory production, showing that the economy has been able to manage the transition away from its cooling housing market. Investment in China's once red hot property market slowed to a five-year low of 10.5% in 2014 from a year earlier - the slowest pace since the first half of 2009. That was almost half the growth of 19.8% in 2013 and also down from an annual rise of 11.9% in the first 11 months of last year. Mr Neumann of HSBC said more easing by the central bank will likely be needed to guard against the downside risks stemming from a "wobbly real estate market" in 2015. "More easing will likely be needed in the form of rate cuts and injection of liquidity," he said. "Fortunately, China has the tools to fine-tune growth and I expect officials to make full use of these to make sure that growth doesn't dip below 7% over the course of this year." In November, the country's central bank did unexpectedly cut interest rates to 2.75% for first time since 2012 in an attempt to revive the economy. While there is still reason for the government to maintain an easing basis, economists said that policymakers will likely take the growth data as a positive and not change stimulus plans straight away. "More stimulus measures may be coming up, but it's unlikely that the continuous fiscal and investment plans of the previous administration are in the works," said Tony Nash, global vice president of Delta Economics. Meanwhile, Asian markets reacted positively to the Chinese economic data with both the Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng index closing higher by 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also welcomed slowing growth in China with its chief economist Olivier Blanchard saying that it showed that the country's government was trying to rebalance the economy. The comments were made after the IMF lowered its forecast for global economic growth for this year and 2016. The actor passed away at a Tokyo hospital on 10 November, his office said on Tuesday. Known as the "Clint Eastwood" of Japan, Takakura was renowned for his brooding style and stoic roles in several Japanese yakuza and action movies. He also starred as a tough Japanese police officer alongside US actor Michael Douglas in the 1989 Ridley Scott film "Black Rain". Among his well-known films were "The Yellow Handkerchief" and "Poppoya" (The Railway Man), for which he won the best actor prize at the Montreal World Film Festival. Takakura also went on to play a lead role in Chinese director Zhang Yimou's 2005 film "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles". In Japan, national broadcaster NHK opened its news programme at noon with the news of Takakura's death. The Asahi Shimbun, a major daily, tweeted condolences and called him "one of Japan's greatest actors". Online, there was an outpouring of grief as fans took to social media to pay tribute to "Ken-san". Japanese actor Takashi Sasano said on Twitter that his dream of acting with Takakura would now "never come true". Tadanobu Asano, best known for his roles in Electric Dragon 80.000 V and Marvel action movie Thor, tweeted: "Rest in peace. This makes me so sad. Thank you so much." Other people referred online to Takakura's appearance in a 1984 TV commercial for life insurance in which he famously declared: "I'm an awkward guy." Many Japanese tweets quoted that phrase, while The Mainichi Shimbun, another daily, immediately carried a piece with the phrase "awkward guy" in the title. The paper said Takakura represented the self-denying stoicism and generosity of spirit which resonated with Japanese audiences. Janice McAleese ran the organisation from 2003 to 2007, resigning shortly before serious financial problems came to light. The NI Audit Office has previously described her conduct as the worst it has seen from a senior public official. The maximum period that someone can be banned from directorship is 15 years. An audit report found Ms McAleese was involved in fabricating documents provided to a government department and her board of directors. She also failed to disclose a personal relationship with a contractor who was paid £120,000 for a motocross bike event in Moneyglass, County Antrim. The rally, in St Peter Port, was held ahead of a States meeting on Wednesday where members will be asked about taking court action. About 1,000 people including the NASUWT, the NUT and Unite unions took part in the march from Candie Gardens at 11:30 BST to St James Concert Hall. The proposals include increasing the pension age from 65 to 67. Three and a half years of negotiations have failed to achieve a solution under a States effort to move employees from a final salary pension to a career average scheme. Martin MacIntyre, from the Association of States Employees Organisations, said: "We want to get the message out to the public as to what is going on here and the misconceptions that have been portrayed. "Ultimately we want to get the message to the 47 people who are going to be voting on this," he said. Deputy Chief Minister Allister Langlois said it was a "terrible shame" islanders had been inconvenienced. Later this month, the States will decide on whether to release funding of up to £500,000 to be spent in pursuing a legal resolution to the deadlock. A Guernsey Police spokesman said 10 police officers were deployed for the march. Flight MH128, bound for Kuala Lumpur, returned to Melbourne on Wednesday after passenger Manodh Marks tried to enter the cockpit, police allege. Authorities said the Sri Lankan man was revealed not to be carrying explosives and it was not a terrorism incident. He felt "vulnerable" in custody and needed medical help, a court heard. Mr Marks, who has been living in Australia on student visa, is accused of endangering the safety of an aircraft and making threats or false statements. He had requested to see a mental health nurse and held concerns for his safety due to his "age and appearance", the Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard on Thursday. Victoria Police said the device he was carrying was a "speaker-type" object, not an explosive. Witnesses have described how passengers tackled the suspect and "immobilised him" after he allegedly made a bomb threat. Meanwhile, authorities were under pressure to explain the time it took for armed police to board the plane and arrest Mr Marks after it landed at Melbourne airport. According to local media, the 337 passengers and crew were forced to wait for up to 90 minutes. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said police had initially treated the situation as a possible terrorism incident, before deciding it was "a case involving a mental health issue". "I certainly appreciate when you are on a plane in that situation one minute could seem like an hour," he said. "The objective in any serious incident like this is to get every member of the crew, every passenger off the plane safely, and that is what was able to be achieved." Police said that Mr Marks was released from a psychiatric facility on the day of the incident. He did not apply for bail. The acrobat also broke her arm and briefly lost consciousness, her mother told a Brisbane radio station. Skinner was performing during the Kooza show at Brisbane's Skygate venue. "It will take six to 12 weeks to heal, but her arms and legs work, which is the main thing," Anne Skinner said. She was speaking to radio station River 94.9. A spokesperson for the Cirque du Soleil show said: "A Kooza performer, Lisa Skinner, was injured during a performance in Brisbane on Sunday afternoon. "She was transported to a local hospital, where she is receiving the medical care she needs. We are happy to report that Lisa is currently stable and in good condition. "At this time, our priority is on supporting Lisa and her family so they can focus on her recovery. The thoughts and love from the cast and crew of Kooza are with her." Skinner, who has toured previously with Cirque du Soleil, was a member of the Australian gymnastics team in the 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympics. She won gold at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. Sunday's performance was halted while Skinner was taken to hospital but the show later resumed. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Adee, who has Aspergers Syndrome, is a keen cyclist and his bicycle was one of his most prized possessions. After hearing about the incident, officers from Lisburn and Castlereagh, bought him a new bike. On Wednesday evening, police asked Adee to come to Dundonald police station for a chat. He arrived at the station with his mum and dad, and was asked by one of the officers to close his eyes. The officer brought out the gift, which he then took on a test ride around the station. According to PSNI Castlereagh's Facebook page, Adee is "a very happy boy again". As the search for Adee's first bicycle continues, police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. Keen parted company with the U's on Tuesday after four months in charge, leaving Wright, who was appointed by the former Liverpool and West Ham coach, in caretaker charge. Colchester were relegated from League One at the weekend after a 3-0 defeat at home by Burton Albion. "I've been really surprised, I didn't see it coming," Wright told BBC Essex. "We came in on Monday and Kevin went across to watch the under-21s at QPR so it was generally a normal week, and then on Tuesday the news broke." Wright, who finished his playing career at Colchester in 2014, is in his first coaching job at a Football league club, having worked in non-league and with Ipswich's academy. "Kevin's been at some big clubs and worked at one of the biggest clubs in Liverpool, so to tap into all his experiences and his knowledge of how to do things has been invaluable for me," the 35-year-old added. "Early on we were really unlucky in not getting the results, and I think if we did get the results back then we would have had a real positive end to the season. "We tried to put our finger on it but we couldn't quite nail it down. "We had the four-game spell of three wins and a draw and we really thought 'we've cracked it', but then unfortunately we had a couple of defeats after that." The club told BBC Wales Sport that Phillips, 30, and France wing Cedric Heymans are both suspended. In a statement, Bayonne said: "The off-field behaviour of Mike Phillips is unacceptable and he has been fined. He has also been suspended until further notice." Just because some are bigger names, it does not mean they are protected and above the group Heymans' suspension follows comments made about club fans in local media. In reference to the allegations against Phillips, Bayonne president Alain Afflelou is also reported to have told the French sports daily L'Equipe: "It is not the first time, I'm sick of it." The statement added: "All players are now warned, the club will no longer allow misconduct on the part of players and they may be exposed to greater penalties. "We have enough quality young players at the club. Just because some are bigger names, it does not mean they are protected and above the group. "Through these measures, I also want to preserve the vast majority of players who give back and get involved on a daily basis for the good of the club. "Finally, it is to respect the fans who invest in and support their team." Earlier in the week Bayonne announced 2009 British and Irish Lion Phillips was to undergo surgery to a hand following an injury suffered in training. That meant he would in any case sit out their Basque derby at Biarritz on Sunday. Bayonne are sitting second from bottom of the French Top 14 with seven points from six games. Phillips signed for the French side in the summer of 2011 from the Ospreys. The Bayonne suspension comes 15 months after the former Llanelli, Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and Liberty Stadium star was suspended by Wales. On that occasion, in June, 2011, Phillips was disciplined following a late-night incident in Cardiff outside a fast food restaurant. Robson (144 not out) and Gubbins (101) shared a 241-run first-wicket stand after an uncontested toss saw the hosts bat first in overcast conditions. Seamers Jamie Porter and Neil Wagner struggled with the ball, as Robson reached his hundred off 140 balls. Aaron Beard had Gubbins caught behind on the stroke of tea but bad light saw play end early with Middlesex 255-1. Under seemingly good bowling conditions, Robson and Gubbins batted flawlessly, as Essex's pace bowlers failed to make the ball swing. Visiting captain Ryan ten Doeschate turned to spinner Simon Harmer after just nine overs but the move failed to disrupt the batsmen as they ploughed on untroubled. Robson reached three figures as he edged Ravi Bopara through the vacant second slip position, hitting his 19th four in the process. The opening stand passed 200 from just 51 overs and Gubbins reached his own milestone off 192 balls before the 23-year-old played back and was caught off an outside edge. Just a further 24 balls were possible after tea as bad light brought about a premature end with Middlesex firmly in control. Barry Bannan, who was named in the Championship team of the season this week, scored with a superb strike from 30 yards to put the Owls in front. Veteran Bent levelled just a minute after coming on when he headed home from Johnny Russell's cross. The Rams had already confirmed their play-off place while the Owls are now four points clear of Cardiff. Derby v Sheffield Wednesday as it happened If Wednesday avoid defeat by the Bluebirds next week then they will be in the Championship play-offs for the first time since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2000. A closely-fought game came to life in the 69th minute when Bannan exchanged passes with striker Gary Hooper and hit a wonderful dipping shot that caught keeper Scott Carson out and went in off the underside of the crossbar. Fernando Forestieri nearly sealed victory for the Owls with a curling free-kick that hit the top of the bar on its way over before Bent scored just his third goal of the season with a backpost header after excellent work from Russell. Derby pushed for a late winner but were unable to make it five successive victories while Carlos Carvalhal's side, who host Cardiff next week, have now drawn their last three games. Derby head coach Darren Wassall: "It was a really good advert for the top half of the Championship. Both teams were at it, with both teams in their own way having a lot to play for. "We wanted to remain unbeaten until the end of the season and continue our excellent form and I thought we played very well. We went behind against the run of play but what pleased me most was the resilience and character we showed to come back into the game. "Credit to all the players and we said before the game that if you can't win don't lose, and that's what happened today and we remain unbeaten in five. "We are delighted to have Will (Hughes) back and I thought he handled the occasion very well and played that holding role like he'd been playing it for 10 years. "His out-of-possession stuff was good as well, he put some great tackles in and ran around and did himself proud, he's a good player to get back. "I think Will is capable of playing in any of those three midfield positions and it's great that we showed the depth of our squad. At the end of this season it's great that our players, whether they are starting 11 or squad players, are firing on all cylinders." Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal: "If you look at the point as part of a marathon then I would say I'm happy with it. I am happy but also a little disappointed because we know if we win we achieve something important. "During the 90 minutes it was a good balanced game with two good teams. We did well and played good football and I'm happy with the performance. "It was an amazing goal from Barry but it is not the first time he's scored a goal like that." Kaden Reddick, from Reading, suffered serious head injuries in an accident involving a display barrier on Monday at the Oracle Centre branch. The BBC has visited a number of stores and found no sign of the units, previously found at the tills. Topshop said it removed the units with immediate effect for safety reasons. "We are thoroughly investigating all the events surrounding this extremely sad situation," a spokesman said. "Further to the recent incident in Reading, as a safety precaution we have decided to remove all the till barrier units in question from our stores across the country with immediate effect." Ian Reddick, understood to be Kaden's father from East Kilbride in Scotland, paid tribute to his son on Facebook. He wrote: "Love you my little man, it's hurting so much." The Reading store has remained closed for the third day following Kaden's death. Reading Borough Council, which is the enforcing authority for health and safety in the area, said investigations into the incident would "take time". Following on, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 181 on the third day as off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took 4-68 and Mohammed Shami 3-32. Niroshan Dickwella, who top-scored with 41, was one of only three Sri Lanka batsmen to pass 16. India made 487 in their first innings before bowling Sri Lanka out for 135. India won the first Test in Galle by 304 runs and the second in Colombo by an innings and 53 runs, which was their first victory by an innings in Sri Lanka. Asked by ITV's Robert Peston if that meant cutting EU and non-EU migration, the justice secretary said: "Yes". But he said it could not be done by 2020: "I wouldn't set a time limit for it but the ambition would be to bring it down to tens of thousands". Mr Cameron insists his target can be achieved with Britain in the EU. Annual net migration reached 333,000 in 2015, according to Office for National Statistics estimates. The increase has largely been caused by a surge in immigration from central and southern EU states and fewer people emigrating, but more people are still arriving from outside the EU to take up jobs. The figure for EU-only net migration was 184,000, equalling its record high, and 188,000 for non-EU. Vote Leave has proposed extending the points-based system that currently applies to citizens of non-EU countries wanting to work in the UK to EU citizens, if Britain votes to leave in the referendum on 23 June. The out campaign has said this would be "fairer" to people from Commonwealth countries and other non-EU nations, whose citizens are "discriminated" against under the current system. But meeting the target of cutting net migration to the "tens of thousands" would mean tighter entry requirements across the board, if immigration continues at its current levels, as Mr Gove appeared to acknowledge in his Peston interview. The Treasury's economic forecasts are based on continued high levels of immigration - but Mr Gove denied cutting net migration by 70% would damage Britain's prosperity "because at the moment uncontrolled numbers coming in here only depress wages for working people". He added: "It's also the case that they put a considerable strain on public services, on housing, on the National Health Service, and of course on school places. "We grew very successfully in the 1980s and the 1990s with immigration in the tens of thousands." In a Sky TV Q&A last week, Mr Cameron said he did not "accept" that he would never meet his net migration target, first set in 2010, while Britain remained in the EU. "I don't accept that. I think it remains the right ambition for Britain." But he said it would be "madness" to try to control immigration "by trashing our economy and pulling out of the single market". Meanwhile Mr Gove, former Conservative London mayor Boris Johnson and Labour MP Gisela Stuart have written to Mr Cameron to warn of the risks of remaining in the EU. In their 2,000-word letter, they claim the eurozone's economic crisis is fuelling the rise in migration, as "millions of people in southern Europe, particularly young people, are giving up hope of their countries escaping recession" and head to Britain in "disproportionate" numbers. They also claim that problem will "only get worse when countries in the pipeline to join the EU become members in the near future". The letter also highlights a catalogue of alleged failures by the EU - and warns that eurozone countries "can impose their will and force us to accept laws that are not in our interests". The 24-year-old was "assaulted daily" by Gavin Pascoe and Vicki Jepson at their home in Aspley, Nottingham, where she was kept for five months. The city's crown court heard on Friday Jepson also stole the woman's benefits. Pascoe, 37, was jailed for four years and Jepson, 29, for two-and-a-half years. The court was told how the woman was taken to the couple's house in Rosslyn Drive in August 2014 by someone she met online. Using threats of violence against the victim and her family, they kept her prisoner. She was made to sleep on the kitchen floor or in a duck pen, while during the day she was subjected to beatings, threats and intimidation. If she refused to do as she was told, she was soaked with cold water. On one occasion Pascoe attacked her with a hockey stick, the court heard. She suffered a broken wrist and ribs and a medical exam found scarring on her back, thighs and arms. The victim escaped when a relative of Pascoe's visited and told her to get out. She ran to a neighbour's house and the police were called. Pascoe pleaded guilty to forced labour, one count of grievous bodily harm and committing actual bodily harm on at least 10 occasions. Jepson admitted forced labour, theft and committing actual bodily harm on at least five occasions. A friend of the couple, Andrew Pepper, of Amesbury Circus, Broxtowe, was also involved in the abuse and admitted two counts of ABH and five counts of common assault. He will be sentenced on 4 January. Det Cons Claire Reilly from Nottinghamshire Police said: "The victim was targeted because of her vulnerability and became trapped by people who treated her as their slave. "We were shocked when we met her as she was clearly unwell after suffering at the hands of these three. "Despite her ordeal, she has demonstrated tremendous courage in helping us to build this case and to support the prosecution. "It is hard to believe this happened in a normal house, in a normal street, where families live. They hid in plain sight." But what is it actually like to be out of work in 2017? Gone are the days of the old fashioned job centres, with boards of vacancies to trawl over. These days job-seekers are on lap-tops and have to prove they are applying for work before they get any benefits. Cardiff is seemingly booming with building work across the city and promises of more jobs in the city centre. But there are still parts of the capital which seem miles away. CARDIFF UNEMPLOYMENT - IN FIGURES Cardiff's city-wide unemployment claimant rate stands at 2.1% - 1.3% less than it was in 2014. But this varies depending on where you live in the city. In Ely, the unemployment claimant rate has fallen from 7.1% to 4.5% in three years - an improvement - but it is still the highest rate in the city. Figures just released for July show 395 people there are claiming unemployment benefit out of 5,230 across the city. The outlying estate with 6,000 homes on the western edge of Cardiff also has five of the 10 most deprived neighbourhoods in the city, according to the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. One Ely neighbourhood is ranked the second poorest in Wales for income. Reports of anti-social behaviour are higher than the city average but crime is overall lower than it was a year ago. It also ranks better for access to services and physical environment. LOOKING FOR A JOB FOR EIGHT YEARS Andrew Way, 47, has lived in Ely all his life and has been unemployed for eight years since losing a leisure assistant job. He had also done warehouse work. For the last two and a half years, he has volunteered three days a week for the New Life charity restoring furniture; he's also recently got a qualification in maths to add to a City and Guilds certificate, and will soon start an English course. To get job seekers' allowance he has to show he is regularly applying for work and fills in applications online but has not had an interview - or even an acknowledgement. For those claimants who have been moved onto universal credit, they have to show they are spending up to 37 hours a week applying for jobs or they risk being sanctioned and losing benefits. "I've gone for warehouse work, barman, cleaning, night porter - maybe I apply for 20 jobs a week," he said. "I check my emails - nothing. It's frustrating sometimes." There were about six warehouse jobs going in a five mile radius when we check and Andrew said he was happy to travel as far as Newport if he had to. He is applying for cleaning and kitchen assistant jobs too. "I think it is harder now because all the new rules are brought in. Fair enough they're trying to put people back to work. I just about manage." He is happy with the support from advisers at his local job centre, who helped him get the voluntary work. But the lack of interviews frustrates him, as does the dearth of any feedback. Andrew is at the Dusty Forge, a converted pub, which is home to Action in Caerau and Ely (Ace). This provides training, drop-in support, a workshop and computer centre. The Communities First team there are looking into "up-skilling" Andrew to get over the hurdles and making him more employable, but share his frustration at the system. "He deserves employment, it's about getting him over the barrier," says training officer Simon Murray. "The biggest issues are finding credible, contracted jobs paying more than the minimum wage." Simon, who has worked in Ely for 10 years, said: "There's not enough decent work locally - there are supermarkets and retail, all offering - if you're lucky - eight or 16 hours contracts, predominantly minimum wage. It's cheaper to employ people that way. "There's no industry within the area, and people can be reluctant to travel. People will get one bus and travel across town. With people coming in here it's about skills and their CVs are a bit light, I think 89% of the local population will not go to university. Our schools are ranked low in terms of achievement. It's a classic scenario." Simon said: "It's depressing in some capacities but you get little victories along the way. We like the community a lot, when you watch people grow up and do well it's nice to see that. "It's the perception, perpetuated by programmes like Benefits Street that people are having a good time. They manage, but then you get people who prey on them and get them into debt." "People come in here in a terrible state, upset, last resort because they've been sanctioned or got mental health issues," said Simon. "We feel we're seeing more people and can do more for people, but then our remit's changed, we're losing staff. Communities First will be gone by next March. I don't want to just end up being a training organisation - I'd like to do stuff because we can, not because we have to. It's whether we can still deliver a service when we essentially become self-sustaining." Has it got better with unemployment falling? "It doesn't feel any better because Trussell Trust will report food banks are continuing to rise," said Simon. He picks up bread from a friend's bakery in Pontcanna to give out and they are also making their own mobile pizza ovens in the workshop, which are out in the community as part of outreach work, to talk to people about what they can offer. "It's not necessarily about people being in employment but it's about people being out of poverty - which are two different things." The centre has helped 63 16-to-18-year-olds into work in the last year but the biggest focus is with the over 24s. Ace offers training in basic health and safety - green cards to get people onto construction sites. There is also training to get people into jobs - from security to lifeguards at leisure centres. Eve, who has childcare and beauty qualifications, has been in and out of work since 2013. "I have to apply for 30 jobs a week," she said. "It's horrible when you get a knock-back. I think there are so many people applying for one job. It's tough out there. You have to apply online you can't just walk in anywhere." Lynne, another who did not want to be pictured or her real name used, is in her 30s and has four children. She wants part-time cleaning work around her childcare needs. She has no qualifications because her first child was born when she was 17. Lynne has been looking to return to work, with her youngest child now in school. "I'd like to work while they're in school," she said. "It's been hard but I've been on courses at the Dusty Forge and it's given me more independence and confidence to get back into work." "I apply for 10 jobs a day when I'm online - and you don't get that full response back, it's awful, I thought it was down to my age or experience." Employment mentor Maisey Edwards, who is trying to help her, said there was a lot of competition for jobs and it was about working on confidence and skills. "Childcare is a major issue with women, but a few are coming through with no qualifications at all, so we try to get them into training and work on employability skills - whether CV writing, job applications and interview skills - especially those who have been out of work for a while." There have been modern homes built on the fringes of the old pre-war council housing over the last 20 years but bigger developments are taking place to the south. The most dramatic is the £100m Ely Mills housing development that will see the site of a former paper mill transformed into an 750-home "urban village." There is a also a new £36m Cardiff West high school which got the go-ahead on Wednesday and will be built at Trelai Park. Both of these projects potentially provide job opportunities on the doorstep. Links are already been made with contractors. But employment is often through agencies, which can also apply to jobs in leisure. Some jobs can also involve cumbersome application processes, even for relatively low level jobs. "Agency work is in everything - what used to be council work or in health," said Simon. "Trying to do the application for one supermarket chain - even the managers said they can't do it, we tried and we failed - that's for any job there. "The vast majority will get some work but they'll be back, it's a little bit of work here and there. One of my lads had arrangements and was on his way to work - they texted him to say he wasn't wanted, it's soul destroying." Gareth Dawe, customer services lead for Job Centre Plus in Cardiff said there were opportunities in retail, care and also with companies like Cardiff Bus that were being taken by people from Ely, "The expectation is that customers do what they reasonably can to look for work," he said. "For universal credit customers, the expectation is they're looking for full-time work and that will be a full-time job looking for their job. "That could be a couple of hours a day looking on a computer, that could be applying for jobs - that can be a couple of hours, it could be contacting employers." He admitted it was challenging but said people were not being pushed into areas that were not right for them and were being supported in a number of ways. Mr Dawe said people had to apply in a "constructive way" but those on universal credit tended to find work sooner and stayed in work longer. Eve is waiting to hear back about four applications, all for minimum wage jobs. She can still hope but adds: "You're going around in circles. It's disheartening." Media playback is not supported on this device Woodward has overseen deals that have brought in Matteo Darmian, Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger this summer. But United missed out on transfer target Pedro, with Barcelona's Spain winger, 28, opting to join Premier League rivals Chelsea. "Every day I am updated by him and I trust him," said Van Gaal. "I have the idea you want to separate Ed Woodward with me. Never. Never." Van Gaal was speaking at a news conference ahead of United's home game with Newcastle on Saturday. He added: "I don't think [the critics] have to doubt Ed Woodward because he has proven already for many, many years he is the right person on the right spot." And the 64-year-old is confident when United want a player, Woodward will bring him to Old Trafford. "When Manchester United want a player, he shall come," he said. "You can see my selection and you can see for every position we have a double. We don't have to [buy] but if we can do it to improve we will." However Van Gaal said he did not want to "interfere" regarding the club's interest in Southampton's 23-year-old midfielder Sadio Mane. He added: "I cannot answer that question either because I cannot interfere. I don't want to interfere. It's for Ed Woodward doing the things and he does it very well, I think." The Dutchman did suggest Schweinsteiger, 31, may be in line for his first Premier League start. The Germany international replaced Michael Carrick at half-time during United's 3-1 win against Club Brugge on Tuesday. "Maybe it shall happen tomorrow," Van Gaal told MUTV. "We have seen a solution in rotating our [second] captain, Michael Carrick, with Schweinsteiger. "I think it's a very good solution because we can spare them both for the big moments." One man who will not feature is goalkeeper David De Gea, 24, who is linked with a move to Real Madrid. "We shall evaluate [whether he can play] after 1 September," said Van Gaal. Staff at the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen said they were devastated to learn that he had passed away during the night. Paul made his name by successfully choosing a mussel from one of two boxes bearing the flags of competing nations. Octopuses rarely live beyond two years so his death was not unexpected. Paul backs England World Cup bid What are the chances Paul the octopus is right? Paul was two-and-a-half years old and had been hatched at another centre at Weymouth in England in 2008. Uncanny knack The centre's manager, Stefan Porwoll, said that Paul had correctly guessed the outcomes of seven of Germany's World Cup matches, including their defeats, and had "enthused people across every continent". As the tournament progressed, the octopus's uncanny knack of selecting the correct box drew increasing interest from the world's media, culminating in his choice of Spain as the eventual winner. He became an instant hero in Spain, prompting a request to have him put on display at Madrid zoo. Amid the euphoria, he was even made an honorary citizen of a Spanish town before being made an ambassador for England's 2018 World Cup bid. The Oberhausen centre said he had seemed fine when last checked on Monday night but was found dead on Tuesday morning. "We are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life," Mr Porwoll said. Memorial The prophetic cephalopod's brief but extraordinary life is unlikely to be forgotten. A documentary has been filmed, and books and toys are already planned for the Christmas market. "It's a sad day. Paul was rather special but we managed to film Paul before he left this mortal earth," said his agent, Chris Davies. A memorial is to be erected at the aquarium in his memory. That argument is being revived at NFU Scotland's annual conference, near Perth, where members will debate the union's proposals for a post-Brexit subsidy mechanism. A proportion of the money coming to the UK arrives only because of the high proportion of "less favoured" land in the Highlands and islands. But the money is also shared with farmers in the rest of the UK. Policy teams at the union have put forward a series of measures it wants the UK government to consider. Re-assigning that funding is one of the proposals. Joyce Campbell, a hill farmer in Sutherland, said: "All the glens, all the small crofting townships like Armadale here, anybody that's producing sheep and cattle are reliant on that subsidy to keep going. "We spend our money with a conscience and a social conscience. That money is spent in our local shops." In Scotland, 85% of the land mass is classed as "less favoured". The UK government has guaranteed that the current subsidy arrangements will be honoured until 2020 - even after we leave the European Union. But after that a new policy will need to be agreed and there's no indication of what that will look like. The NFU Scotland document, "Beyond Brexit: A Policy Framework for Scottish Agriculture", puts forward eleven suggestions for a new scheme. It calls for support to only be available for "active farmers" rather than people who own historic subsidy rights but no longer farm the land. The document also calls for "immediate full support" to be made available for new farmers who often struggle to break into the industry. NFU Scotland President, Allan Bowie, said: "It sounds like a lot of money but it's about 12 days worth of the National Health Service. "For that you get food to your shelf, to your plate, of a certain quality, a certain welfare and we look after the environment." It's not just farmers who have an interest in the future of the subsidy system. Some of the payments are for schemes that benefit our ecosystems. The Scottish Wildlife Trust is in the middle of producing a policy document which will argue that the environment needs to be at the centre of a future subsidy system. Senior Policy Officer Bruce Wilson said: "We now understand that land produces so much more than just commodities. It also produces a whole range of environmental goods and services. "Flood protection is a very topical one at the moment but there's carbon sequestration, biodiversity value, tourism and recreation. A whole host of things. "We want to see a move towards rewarding farmers for the whole range of services they produce and not just the commodities." The Scottish Secretary David Mundell will address the conference when it debates the Brexit issues. He will tell delegate that farmers "can look forward to a future full of opportunity". The Conservative MP told the Newark Advertiser he would probably be the only UK MP at the event next week. Mr Jenrick, 35, who has represented the Nottinghamshire constituency since 2014, said he would also be meeting trade representative Bob Lighthizer. Critics on Twitter said the trip was "horrifying" and "disgusting". In a tweet, Mr Jenrick, a ministerial aide to Justice Secretary Liz Truss, said: "Fascinating to be in DC next week & pleased to be meeting Bob Lighthizer, incoming Trade Representative to push for a UK-US free trade deal." More on this story and other news in Nottinghamshire Twitter user Zapsi replied: "it's honestly disgusting that you think the best way to represent your constituents is to cosy up to trump and pence". While another, called Mr Smith, wrote: "i think the word you require is 'horrifying' not 'fascinating'." Robert Jenrick is the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on international trade and said he would be the first British MP to meet the incoming US Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer. As part of the visit to Washington DC, the Newark MP has accepted an invitation to the inauguration ceremony. This has prompted criticism on social media, with some people accusing him up of "cosying up" to the President-elect. Mr Jenrick has told me, however, that his presence at the inauguration isn't an "endorsement" of Donald Trump. He said he's always believed in the importance of the "special relationship" and the need to build bridges with the new American administration, particularly post-Brexit. Mr Jenrick told his local paper, the Newark Advertiser, that while Mr Trump might not be everyone's first choice as president, "we have to work with his administration". "I hope to persuade Mr Lighthizer that the UK should be at the front of the queue for a free trade deal rather than at the back of it as President Obama threatened on the eve of the (Brexit) referendum," Mr Jenrick added. Mr Jenrick was elected as MP for Newark in a by-election in June 2014 after Patrick Mercer resigned in disgrace, and won the seat with an increased majority at the general election of 2015. Newport council led a search for the mislaid honour after the service but seven-year-old Ffion had found it outside McDonald's on High Street. "Ffion picked it up thinking it was a brooch and asked her dad to put it her pocket," said her mother Melanie Ralph. "When we knew it was the missing MBE, Ffion was incredibly proud to help." Newport's remembrance parade on 12 November started at High Street at 10:30 GMT and travelled to the war memorial on Clarence Place for a service. Ffion and her friends from the 10th Newport East (St John's) Brownie group also took part in the commemoration and she found it on her way home. "Ffion loves brooches and badges and took a shine to it when she saw it on the ground," said Mrs Ralph. "But we were later told about a Facebook appeal to find a missing MBE, and my husband, Neil, said 'I think that's what Ffion picked up'. "We didn't know, however, where Ffion had put it and she was asleep, but we asked her when she woke in the middle of the night and Ffion said it was in the car. "So you can imagine my husband rummaging around in the car in the pitch black in the dead of night looking for someone's prized possession. "Luckily, he did find it and Ffion was glad she could make someone's day and give the honour back." Three football teams - which include several world championship gold medal players - are making their final preparations before a national competition next week. On Monday, all these players will be in Scotstoun, Glasgow, boarding coaches to Sheffield to attend the UK's 10th Special Olympics National Summer Games. Scotland will be sending about 500 athletes from across the country - the largest contingent in the UK outside this year's hosts. The training session at the Firhill Complex is low key, with no hint of the achievements many of the players on the pitch have under their belts. There's a lot of laughter - and the occasional exclamation of frustration when a shot goes wide or a pass is missed. But if you thought for a minute there was a lack of seriousness or focus in this last training session before the trip to Sheffield, you'd be wrong. "I'm going the Sheffield to get the gold, nothing else," says 29-year-old footballer Derek Taylor. "You've got to go and try to win it all." The global Special Olympics movement was founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver for people with an intellectual - or learning - impairment. But going to the games is a way for the athletes to get away from the labels that are often applied to them, says Gordon McCormack, the head of delegation for the Scotland West squad. "Many of our athletes don't want to call themselves disabled," he tells BBC Scotland. "The issue is that they've been labelled as such by society. What we're trying to do is help them through that transitional stage and into everyday life where they can perhaps find a job, get married, drive a car and just get on with life." It's a mission that gets to the very core of what the games are about. "Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the games way back in 1968. What she was trying to do was support people with a learning disability within the community at large," he says. "What she wanted to try to prove is they have the right to live alongside you and I as equals." Name: Derek Taylor From: Easterhouse, Glasgow Age: 29 Position: Attacker "I've been playing football for 14 years. This gives people chances that don't usually get chances. It's much better knowing that you're representing a team rather than just playing about on a pitch. I'm going the Sheffield to get the gold, nothing else. You've got to go and try and win it all." There are six regional teams from Scotland attending the games and the athletes will be up against others from regions across England and Wales. "They've been training now for over two years, fundraising for over two years and it's a hugely exciting occasion for all of them," Mr McCormack says. "We've got many talented players. Some of these players have already been to Shanghai, to Athens, to the world games - so they're looking forward to going again and competing for the GB title." Glasgow West striker John Maxwell has been part of the squad since he was 14 and has already been to three world games. The 31-year-old helped the Great Britain team win gold at the world champions in Los Angeles two years ago - an occasion he marked with a tattoo on his left calf - and is now an assistant coach for Glasgow West. "I've been to Los Angeles, China, I've also been to Greece and I've also done a European competition in Germany - that was an invitational thing just before the 2006 World Cup which we did pretty well in as well," he says. Before he joined the football squad, Mr Maxwell competed in athletics, winning three golds in two national competitions - for the 100m with a time of 11.7s and in the 200m with a time of 24.08. He picked up his third gold in the 4x100 relay. The first gold was at a home national games in Glasgow and he happily admits that receiving the medal brought a "tear" to this eye. He says he's still excited to be competing - but it's not the only reason he enjoys the weekly training sessions so much. "It's special. You're developing friendships and a team bond. "We're planning to go down there and win - gold, silver, bronze it doesn't matter. As long as they try their hardest it makes me proud." Name: Sean McCulloch From: Inverness, now living in Glasgow Age: 27 Position: Midfielder/goalkeeper "Going to Los Angeles in America for the first time and getting to the final and winning the gold was the best feeling ever. I was playing outfield in that tournament and it went to penalties. Just before it went to penalties they put me in goal and I saved one of the penalties that practically won the world games. It was just amazing out there. My main aim is to win a medal but if I can't I just need to do the best effort I can." The football teams at the Special Olympics compete in divisions depending on ability. All three Scotland West teams going to Sheffield - two in the premier division and one in division three - have won medals in recent years. PE teacher Craig Milne, who coaches the Special Olympics Glasgow West squad, says he is hoping to build on this success - despite some stiff competition from the English and Welsh contingents. "They're looking good. We've got quite a lot of players here who are in the Great Britain Squad who were world champions in 2015. "We've got two teams playing against each other in the top division so it'll be interesting when we get down there to see who comes out on top." The squad is mix or veterans and newer players who will competing at their first Special Olympics next week But whatever their level of experience, Mr Milne says all the players are serious about playing - and winning. "For the competition itself they're down there and they are athletes for the duration. They eat well, they sleep well, they rest well," he says. "We prepare for all the games. It's a professional environment these guys will be in for the next few days. An experience they'll probably remember for the rest of their life." Media playback is not supported on this device England's Fiona Pocock scored a first-minute try but Renee Wickliffe's converted score put the Black Ferns 7-5 up at the break at Twickenham Stoop. Harriet Millar-Mills and Lydia Thompson scored in quick succession to put England 17-7 up but Kendra Cocksedge's 20-point haul proved decisive. Worcester Valkyries prop Clark came off the bench to win her 116th cap. The 35-year-old surpassed the record held by Scotland's Donna Kennedy. Having moved to second in the rankings by beating France on 9 November and Ireland last Sunday, the Red Roses made a perfect start, moving the ball to the left wing where Pocock surged along the touchline to cross in the corner. On the stroke of half-time New Zealand launched the ball wide and Wickliffe scored in the corner. Millar-Mills powered over following a rolling maul and three minutes later a flowing move saw Marlie Packer free Thompson on the right, who weaved through to score. But Cocksedge displayed some quick footwork with two tries in five minutes, and though Emily Scarratt briefly restored the home side's lead, the diminutive scrum-half notched two late penalties. It was a ninth consecutive win for New Zealand and their fifth in succession against England. Find out how to get into rugby union with our special guide.

But in space, that water would float all over the place. So astronauts have to adapt. Tim and his fellow astronauts use wet towels to keep clean. Tim posted the video, saying that he misses being able to take a shower. He wrote: "I already miss my shower at home, but this gets the job done." He was granted leave to seek to judicially review the Department of Justice over claims it has done nothing about a law prohibiting the press from naming juveniles suspected of crimes before they are charged. A judge ruled he has established an arguable case that the situation breached his right to privacy. It is the second set of proceedings issued by the 15-year-old since he was detained in October by police investigating a major hack into the phone and broadband provider's database. He is also also suing three national newspapers and internet giants Google and Twitter for allegedly revealing his identity. The boy was interviewed on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act before being released on bail. Under the terms of the 1999 Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act no-one under 18 allegedly involved in an offence can be named in press reports. Although that law applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, lawyers for the boy claimed Stormont's continued failure to commence the act has impacted on his privacy entitlements. They claim it was irrational to be denied the same protection given to minors once they are charged with an offence. The legal loophole enabled his details and photograph to feature amid widespread newspaper and online publicity, according to their case. In court on Thursday, a barrister for the teenager argued that a ban on publishing the youth's identity secured in the separate, ongoing litigation was not enough. "This applicant was put out of his house before he was even able to take proceedings," the barrister said. "Then he had to take injunctive proceedings against a multitude of media outlets." Aidan Sands, for the Department of Justice, argued that the teenager can sue for damages over any alleged breach of privacy. He told the court there has been no public "clamour" to commence the relevant Section 44 of the act since justice powers were devolved to Stormont. "In those five years, to the best of the department's knowledge, this matter has never been raised as an issue," he said. The current press regulatory scheme includes a right to complain about any breach of the editor's code, the court heard. Contending that widespread consultation would be required before Section 44 could be commenced, Mr Sands added: "Apart from this case it hasn't ever raised itself as an issue. "The position the department takes is the same as in England and Wales, the current system is working and fit for purpose." He also claimed any criminal sanctions arising from enactment of the legislation would only apply to media organisations in Northern Ireland. "This is an international story," the barrister stressed. "His name and image could have been circulated in the press and on the internet outside the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland." Ruling on the application, the judge acknowledged the department's arguments may ultimately fend off the challenge. But granting leave, he said there were issues worthy of further exploration. The case will now proceed to a full hearing on a date to be fixed next year. The books formed the basis for seven films and the television and radio comedy series, Doctor in the House. The plot revolved around the trials of medical students at the fictional St Swithin's Hospital in London. Under his real name of Gordon Ostlere, the author, who lived in Kent, worked as an anaesthetist in London and Oxford and was also a ship's surgeon. His first book, Doctor in the House, was based largely on his own experiences. The film version of the same name starred Dirk Bogarde as the recently qualified Simon Sparrow, and was also made into a stage play. In total, Gordon wrote more than three dozen books. His first novel not in the Doctor series was about a plastic surgeon between the wars, which was published in 1967, He also wrote The Private Life of Florence Nightingale, which depicted her as a lesbian, and similarly titled books on Jack the Ripper and Doctor Crippen. With his wife, also an anaesthetist, he produced a book for parents, called A Baby in the House. The author famously refused to appear on This Is Your Life in 1974, where guests were surprised with a big red book and a presentation of their past life. The television programme was being broadcast live, and when approached by presenter Eamonn Andrews Gordon swore and walked off. However, he was persuaded to stay for a show that was broadcast a week later. Researchers aim to build a desktop technology that would allow an average person to design and print a machine within 24 hours. The team says that making it easier to create specialised robots could have a "profound impact on society". The effort is being funded by a $10m (£6.3m) grantfrom the National Science Foundation. The Virginia-based organisation described the move as a "game changing investment". "It has the potential to democratise and personalise automation to meet the needs of individual users - whether for search and rescue workers in remote areas of the world or educators in classrooms around the US - possibilities for social impact abound," said spokeswoman Lisa-Joy Zgorski. The five-year project involves robotics experts at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. The team members admit it would be unrealistic to hope to have created a "universal robot-making machine" within that time limit. However, they intend to have developed a computer program which would allow users to specify certain characteristics - such as the ability to navigate an environment or manipulate certain types of object. This would then create computer manufacturing files which would act as a recipe for a number of machines to build a robot from scratch with minimal human interaction. In recent years printers capable of making 3D plastic models have dropped in price making them available to hobbyists. The research team hope their work will take the development to another level. "We think of printing as a broad class of techniques which are inherently accessible and relatively cheap," Prof Rob Wood from Harvard University told the BBC. "3D printers are becoming more accessible but we want to go beyond that to create robots that encompass multiple functionalities, that have electrical and mechanical components, controllers and microprocessors. That's something that goes beyond today's state-of-the-art printers." Longer term, Prof Wood said he hoped the research would pave the way for one-stop-shop machines that can "spit out" a robot at home or at the future equivalent of a photocopy store for less than $100 a piece. His colleague Prof Daniela Rus, from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, added that this could lead to the creation of a community of users who would share designs and experiences. "Building on our philosophy that if you can imagine it you can build it, we believe this project has enormous potential for broader impacts in education, manufacturing, healthcare, and everyday life," she said. "Imagine a world in which printed functional objects are as common as printed paper. "We will enable the rapid creation of tooling for manufacturing, and fast reconfiguration of assembly lines. Custom robot hands will bring a new level of flexibility to people confined to wheelchairs, allowing them to reach for objects on shelves or floors, and inexpensive project kits in the classroom. " Rahm Emanuel says every patrol car in Chicago would be equipped with a Taser gun, which is usually non-lethal. He said police must learn when they can use a gun and when not to do so. Protesters have urged Mr Emanuel to step down over a case in which an officer fatally shot a black teenager. Laquan McDonald's death led to the city's police chief being fired and days of protests, "Just because you train that you can use force doesn't mean you should," said Mr Emanuel. "Helping officers make that distinction - and the training that goes with it - is essential." Mr Emanuel said the department would make 1,400 Tasers available to officers, up from 700. On the night Mr McDonald was killed, several officers were heard asking for a Taser before officer Jason Van Dyke opened fire, shooting the teenager 16 times. Mr Van Dyke has since been charged with murder. However, the shootings have continued. Just after Christmas, Chicago police shot and killed two people. Bettie Jones, a 55-year-old mother-of-five was shot "accidentally", police said, as officers opened fire on, and killed, 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier, who they said was being "combative" toward officers. About 15% of Chicago's police officers have so far received training aimed at resolving incidents without violence, officials say.

Bracknell Forest Borough Council closed Winkfield Road, near the attraction in Windsor, for "essential" repairs on 10 November. However, Windsor and Maidenhead council said it caused a "nightmare" for its neighbouring residents. The road will now see three further weeks of work and temporary traffic lights. Bracknell Forest Council said the road, between Squirrels Roundabout and the Legoland roundabout, reopened a day ahead of schedule. It added the scheme aimed to prevent "a possible future collapse of the culvert retaining walls, which would have posed a significant safety risk and would have caused long-term traffic disruption". The Windsor and Maidenhead authority had offered to contribute to the cost of the work, in a bid to speed up the scheme, but Bracknell Forest said it was too late to change the schedule.

A road near Legoland which sparked a row between two councils when it closed for roadworks has reopened.

Wetherspoon fell out with the Dutch brewing giant over supplying beer to one pub, and will now not be serving Heineken lager or Murphy's stout in the UK at all. The pub chain takes £60m of Heineken products a year in the UK. A dispute with Diageo means Wetherspoon does not serve Guinness in Ireland. JD Wetherspoon said that Heineken had refused to supply its lager - Ireland's biggest-selling draught beer - and Murphy's stout to Wetherspoon's second pub in Ireland, which is due to open in Dun Laoghaire. The spat means Strongbow cider, John Smith's bitter and Foster's lager are also off Wetherspoon's UK menu. Wetherspoon has been selling pints of Heineken lager and Murphy's at prices around 40% below the competition at its first Irish pub in Blackrock, Dublin. The row in Ireland came to a head when Heineken requested Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson give personal guarantees to pay all Heineken bills if Wetherspoon did not pay them, according to the pub chain. Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said: "We have been trading with Heineken for 35 years and they have never requested personal guarantees before. "It's obstructive to do so now, especially when we made record profits of around £80m last year. "The refusal to supply Heineken lager and Murphy's just before the opening of our new pub in Dun Laoghaire, which represents an investment by us of nearly four million euros, is unacceptable and hard to understand." Heineken UK declined to comment in detail, but said: "We are aware of the comments made by JD Wetherspoon (JDW) and its chairman this morning. "Heineken UK has had a long standing and successful relationship with JDW in the UK market over a 35-year period, and it is unfortunate that commercial issues in Ireland between Heineken Ireland and JD Wetherspoon have led to the current situation. "We are seeking a resolution as soon as possible." The pub chain last year outlined plans for around 30 pubs in the Republic of Ireland. The Spaniard, 21, led from pole and crossed the line 4.124secs ahead despite breaking a leg two months ago. Marquez said: "The start was very good and after that my lead was such that the race was a bit boring." He now leads by 14 points after two rounds of MotoGP 2014 after winning the season's opener in Qatar last month. The Honda bikes finished over 20 seconds in front of the field and it was the battle for third that proved most exciting for spectators, with Italy's Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) finishing ahead of Stefan Bradl (Honda) and Britain's Bradley Smith (Yamaha). The Austin track is certainly to Marquez's liking after he claimed his maiden win in last year's race on his way to becoming the youngest MotoGP champion. Marquez, who fractured his right fibula during a dirt-track training session in Lleida, near Barcelona in February, was never headed in qualifying or the race. Second-placed Pedrosa said: "Marc was a little too fast for me. He was three-tenths of a second faster per lap and there was no part of the track I could close him up." It is the first time a rider has won the first two MotoGP races of the season from pole since Australian Mick Doohan in 1995. Britain's Cal Crutchlow was stretchered from the track after coming off his Ducati on lap 12 and his manager later said that he may have broken his right hand. Spain's Maverick Vinales took the Moto2 race from Pons Kalex team-mate Esteve Rabat, with Australia's Jack Miller on a KTM winning his second successive Moto3 race of the season.

Jorge Lorenzo (Spain) Yamaha 49.111 The text, from Party Treasurer Philip Higginson to another senior party figure, said it would be a "huge win" to "negotiate the removal of Credlin". The leak to ABC follows criticism last month of Ms Credlin by Mr Higginson. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has backed Ms Credlin and called for unity. In the message published by ABC, Mr Higginson said Ms Credlin had harmed the party through her "non understanding of team harmony". Mr Higginson said he anticipated a "hatchet job" against him for criticising Ms Credlin, adding that he thought he was "watching the party committing suicide". Ms Credlin is Mr Abbott's closest and most senior adviser and is seen as a huge influence on the prime minister. Dubbed "the boss" by some Liberal MPs, she has been accused by some of heavy-handed and centralised party control. A leadership challenge and poor polling have led Liberal Party backbenchers unsympathetic to the prime minister to call for her resignation. Ms Bishop called the leaked text "deeply unfortunate". "It's very colourful language," she told Sky News. "It's deeply unfortunate it has been said and been made public. The less the internal workings of the Liberal Party are made public, the better off for everybody." The message is a further embarrassment for the Liberal Party following a leaked letter from Mr Higginson to the party's federal executive in February, in which he criticised the party over the positions held by Ms Credlin and her husband, party director Brian Loughnane. He wrote: "How this party ever let a husband-and-wife team into those two key roles, where collegiate competitive tension is mandatory and private consultations between colleagues to see that each side is served well, is a complete mystery," the letter said. One officer fired at rioters who threw rocks at police. The unrest in the Rinkeby suburb on Monday night came after police tried to arrest a suspect on drugs charges. It also comes after US President Donald Trump referred to Sweden in a speech on immigration problems, baffling Swedes about a non-existent incident. Rioters, some of them wearing masks, threw rocks, set vehicles on fire and looted shops from about 20:00 (19:00 GMT) on Monday in Rinkeby, which has a history of unrest. Warning shots were fired, but police later said one officer had also fired at least one shot at stone-throwers, a rare occurrence in Sweden. No gunshot wounds were reported. A number of other injuries were reported, including a shopkeeper. A photographer from Dagens Nyheter said he was assaulted by a group of people when arriving to report on the unrest and spent the night in hospital. The unrest subsided at about midnight. Police spokesman Lars Bystrom said: "This kind of situation doesn't happen that often but it is always regrettable when it happens." Sweden has seen urban unrest in some areas with large immigrant populations, where there have been job and integration issues. At a rally in Florida on Saturday, Mr Trump suggested Sweden could face the kind of terrorist attacks that have hit France, Belgium and Germany. He said: "You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible." The statement about a particular incident on Friday night baffled Swedes, including former Prime Minister Carl Bildt, who tweeted: "Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking?" The hashtag #lastnightinSweden was soon trending on Twitter, and the Swedish embassy in Washington asked the state department for clarification. Mr Trump later tweeted that his statement "was in reference to a story that was broadcast on FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden". Some people suggest Mr Trump might have been referring to a clip aired on Fox News on Friday night of a documentary about alleged violence committed by refugees in Sweden. Mr Trump continued with a tweet on Monday, saying: "The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large-scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!" Sweden, with a population of about 9.5 million, saw a sharp increase in asylum seekers in 2015, with more than 162,000 people claiming asylum. Almost a third came from Syria. With the influx, tensions also rose with some isolated attacks on immigrants, as well as pro- and anti-migrant demonstrations. Sweden had been offering permanent residence to all Syrians but the high number of arrivals prompted a change in the rules. The number of asylum applications dropped to 29,000 in 2016 after Sweden introduced new border checks incurring longer processing times, as well as financial incentives for migrants who voluntarily returned to their country of origin. The killing of a 22-year-old woman in January 2016 by an asylum seeker based at the centre where she worked put further pressure on the government to reassess its approach. Sweden has generally low crime rates. Preliminary statistics from the Swedish Crime Survey (in Swedish) show only a marginal increase in 2016 from the year before. Fraud and crimes against individuals were up, but drugs crimes and theft had decreased. The number of reported rapes increased by 13%, although that is still lower than the number reported in 2014 (6,700), as Sweden's The Local reports. There have been no terror attacks in Sweden since the country's open-door policy on migration began in 2013. In 2010, two bombs detonated in central Stockholm, killing the attacker - an Iraq-born Swedish man - and injuring two others, in what police described as a terrorist attack. In October 2015, a masked man who was believed to have far-right sympathies killed a teacher and pupil in a sword attack. And in Malmo last October, a fire at a Muslim community centre was claimed by the Islamic State group - the incident was cited by the White House in the list of incidents it deemed "under-reported" by the media. Separately, Sweden is believed to have the highest number of Islamic State fighters per capita in Europe. About 140 of the 300 who went to Syria and Iraq have since returned, leaving the authorities to grapple with how best to reintegrate them into society. How Sweden became an exporter of jihad Moshin Amin, 30, from Broomer Street, Dewsbury, has been charged with firearms offences related to a loaded semi-automatic handgun. Yassar Yaqub, 28, from Huddersfield, was shot when police stopped a car near junction 24 of the M62 on Monday. Mr Amin has been detained in custody and will appear before Leeds magistrates on Friday morning. He was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause of fear of violence, possession of a sound moderator and possession of ammunition, said West Yorkshire Police. Mr Yaqub was in the front seat of a white Audi stopped by police. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has said a gun was found in the car. Earlier, the IPCC said post-mortem tests showed Mr Yaqub died of gunshot wounds Five men were arrested in total during the police operation in West Yorkshire on Monday. Two other men aged 37 and 26 have been released on police bail pending further inquiries. Two men, aged 26 and 30, have already been released on bail. The police operation is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). Prosecutors said the men were in constant contact with IS in Syria through Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the leader of the attacks in Paris last November. He was killed in a shootout in Paris days after the attacks in which 130 people were murdered. The Verviers cell was planning an attack in Belgium, prosecutors said. Molenbeek's gangster jihadists "The cell in Verviers aimed for the bloodiest possible attacks using bombs and automatic weapons," Judge Pierre Hendrickx said. "For Abaaoud and the Verviers cell, the airport at Zaventem constituted a target," he added. The airport was eventually targeted in March by militants who were also connected to Abaaoud. Two men detonated suicide vests, killing 17 people. What we know about the Brussels attacks Who were the victims? Marouane El Bali, Souhaib El Abdi and Mohamed Arshad were charged with forming a terror organisation and given 16 years. Omar Damache was jailed for eight years on the same charge. The men had returned from fighting with IS in Syria and a cache of explosives and weapons was found in the building where they lived, prosecutors said. Paris and Brussels bombers' links uncovered Two other men, Sofiane Amghar and Khalid Ben Larbi - who were killed in the Verviers raid - had also travelled to Syria. A total of 16 suspects were charged in connection with the raid last January, but nine remain on the run. The raid came a week after jihadists attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, killing 12 people. The airport's operators said its preferred options would see 25,000 fewer people being directly under approach and take-off routes. More than 5,000 people responded to the first round of consultation which ended in September 2016. Any change to flight paths around the airport would have to be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Local campaign group Edinburgh Airport Watch said the flight path changes would have "a negative affect on the health and well being of hundreds of thousands of people across West Lothian, Falkirk and Fife". Edinburgh, which is Scotland's busiest airport, said modernising its use of airspace was needed to handle "strong levels of growth" in traffic. Chief executive Gordon Dewar said: "Edinburgh Airport and the aviation sector in general are strongly growing parts of a still sluggish Scottish economy - and we have to get this right for the sake of jobs in Scotland and environmental considerations. "At the very heart of our proposals are the findings of the initial consultation - we have listened to the public in finding a solution. "The bottom line is that our proposed changes would mean a reduction in noise for nearly 25,000 people." He added: "In this second stage of public consultation we will be reaching out again to our neighbouring communities. "Our community engagement campaign will be backed up by media advertising and a locally-targeted social media campaign to provide information relating to drop-in sessions and links to the feedback pages of the website." Mr Dewar said he had written to more than 640,000 households across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Falkirk and Fife outlining the design of the flight paths and seeking the public's views on the proposals. Plans to allow for further expansion of traffic at Edinburgh Airport have attracted criticism from environment campaigners. Transform Scotland, the campaign for sustainable transport, voiced its opposition during the first phase of consultation. Director Colin Howden said: "Aviation is the most polluting form of transport and one that threatens Scotland's ability to meet its climate change commitments." A spokeswoman for Edinburgh Airport Watch said: "We encourage people to read the airport's document carefully and to respond before the 30th April. Even if you already responded to the first consultation, we urge people to respond again. "The cost of unfettered aviation expansion is poorer air quality, traffic chaos on the roads around the airport, more noise misery for neighbours - some of them now 20 miles or more from the runway - and a worsening of Scotland's already enormous tourism deficit as people take their money out of our economy and spend it elsewhere. "It is difficult to see what sustainable benefit there can be to Scotland or the local area from allowing this airport to expand any further." Subject to CAA approval, the proposed flight path changes could come into effect from spring 2018. However, Hilton will continue to operate the hotel "for the next 100 years", including renovating the property in the coming months. Shares in Hilton jumped 3% on news of the sale, before later declining. Hilton said it would use the proceeds from the sale to invest in other hotels and assets in the United States. The Waldorf purchase by Anbang is the most ever paid for a US building by a Chinese buyer, according to Bloomberg. The Beijing-based firm has more than 700bn Chinese yuan ($114.03: £72bn) in assets. Some analysts believe it may look to convert some of the hotel rooms on the higher floors into private residences. "This relationship represents a unique opportunity for our organisations to work together to finally maximise the full value of this iconic asset on a full city block in midtown Manhattan," said Christopher J Nassetta, president and chief executive officer of Hilton Worldwide, in a statement. The Hilton hotel chain, which went public last year, is majority-owned by private equity giant Blackstone. Asian investors have been buying into top New York properties in recent years, helped by record low interest rates. Hong Kong billionaire Cheng Yu-tung bought The Carlyle hotel in 2011 while disgraced Indian businessman Subrata Roy owns The Plaza on the corner of Central Park. Last year, real estate firm Soho China bought a 40% stake in Manhattan's General Motors Building in a $1.4bn deal. Chinese conglomerate Fosun International also put its money into US property, buying the 60-storey 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza for $725m. Conrad Hilton, the eponymous founder of the hotel firm, bought the Waldorf in 1949, 18 years after it opened. It has been the scene of many films, such as "Weekend at the Waldorf", and was briefly the residence of Marilyn Monroe after she left Hollywood. The historic luxury hotel has more than 1,400 rooms, some of which can cost more than $2,000 a night. The 43-year-old actor has been widely tipped by bookmakers to take over the role when Daniel Craig leaves the film series. Elba, who is currently on the big screen in Star Trek Beyond, told ABC's Good Morning America: "I think I'm too old for that. "Running around in cars and ladies and martinis, who wants to do that? Sounds terrible." The oldest actor in the film's history to have taken on the role of James Bond was Roger Moore, who was 45 when he appeared in his first film - 1973's Live and Let Die. Elba, famous for his roles in Luther and The Wire, said he has not been contacted by the James Bond team about the possibility of joining the franchise. "I keep saying if it were to happen it would be the will of a nation because there haven't been any talks between me and the studio about any of that," he said. "But everywhere I go people want that to happen." Elba is one of the favourites to step into Craig's shoes, with bookmakers naming him, Tom Hiddleston, Aidan Turner and James Norton as the frontrunners. Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is currently working on other projects - including Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, which will star Jamie Bell and Annette Bening. It is not yet known when the next James Bond film - the 25th in the franchise - will begin production. Follow us on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, on Instagram, or email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. The unnamed suspect was charged with extortion, internet luring, criminal harassment and child pornography, Canadian police say. Suspected of numerous other abuse cases, he has entered no plea. Ms Todd posted a video before her death where she told how she was blackmailed into exposing herself online. After pictures were posted on Facebook, an online bullying campaign began and the 15-year-old from British Columbia eventually killed herself. Her story made headlines worldwide and her video, which contains images of self-harm some readers may find distressing, has been watched millions of time. On the basis of materials seized, the detainee is also suspected of dozens of cases of online abuse in the Netherlands, the UK and the US, the Dutch newspaper Omroep Brabant reports. Carol Todd, Amanda's mother, thanked police at news of the arrest, saying: "This is truly a day we have been waiting for." The suspect, who was arrested in January, made his first court appearance in Amsterdam on Wednesday, at which his detention was reportedly extended for three months. "Today marks a major milestone in our investigation," said Inspector Paulette Friel of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "A suspect has been identified, he has been arrested and he has been charged." The suspect is said to have been living alone in a holiday home in the Netherlands town of Oisterwijk. "The suspicions against the man are that he approached underage girls via the internet and then seduced them into performing sexual acts in front of a webcam,'' Dutch prosecutors said in a statement, quoted by AP. "He is suspected of subsequently pressurising them to participate in making new material." Suspected targets include men who were allegedly convinced the man was an underage boy and were persuaded into performing sexual acts on camera. His lawyer, Christian van Dijk, said: "Prosecutors seem to think they have a big fish here, but if I see the evidence, it's not much. Lots of references to IP addresses and such." He added: "He seems like a decent person, a young good-looking man who is easy to speak to." Carol Todd told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper she believed others were involved in the abuse too. "I don't want everyone to get so hyped up that this is it, that this is the end," she said. "I don't think in my heart that this is the end. It's the start of it. There's more than one person in those chat rooms. There are more people responsible for extorting [Amanda]." The 24-year-old, signed for a reported £32m from Lille in 2012, has scored 13 times in 36 appearances this season. "Since I came here in 2012, I have always felt good and the club has been very supportive to me," Hazard said. "He is already a top player and his evolution has been fantastic," manager Jose Mourinho said. "He is still very young and he can become the best." Hazard, who helped Belgium reach the World Cup quarter-finals last year, has made a total 147 appearances for the Blues, scoring 43 goals. "The manager has helped me improve a lot, the fans have been fantastic and I have an amazing understanding with my team-mates," he added. "I always try to give pleasure to the supporters with my style of play and it is nice to know they appreciate my work." Willem Holleeder is already in jail, pending trial in a number of cases involving the Amsterdam underworld. The sisters, who testified against him in a murder case last year, say they are "bewildered but not surprised". The suspect is also accused of plotting to murder crime reporter Peter de Vries. He denies all charges. Dubbed "The Nose", 55-year-old Holleeder was already in custody facing murder and attempted murder charges, as well as belonging to a criminal organisation. He was arrested in his cell in April over the alleged plot to kill his sisters after a tip-off from a fellow prisoner, prosecutors said. "Holleeder allegedly already paid money and promised more, should his plans indeed be carried out," they added. Appearing in court on Tuesday, Holleeder denied he had plans to kill his sisters and Mr de Vries. "It's absolutely not in my interest that anything happens to them," he said. When his sisters testified against him in a murder case last year, one of them said she was signing her death warrant. Astrid Holleeder told the Dutch newspaper NRC she had hoped she would be safe after his arrest in 2014. But instinctively she knew he would not leave them alone. "He doesn't tolerate opposition", she told the paper. "Willem wants revenge." Crime journalist Peter de Vries, who wrote a best-selling book about the Heineken kidnapping, also suspects revenge as the motive: "He's let it be known several times that he's after me," he said. Holleeder became a household name in the Netherlands for his role in the abduction of beer magnate Freddy Heineken and his driver more than three decades ago. The two were released unharmed after a large ransom was paid. Holleeder was sentenced to 11 years for the kidnapping, which became one of the country's best-known crime sagas and was turned into a movie last year. He was arrested again in 2006 for extortion against two men who were later found dead, and released in 2012 after serving two thirds of his sentence. He became a minor celebrity until he was re-arrested in December 2014, even appearing on TV and posing for pictures with fans on Amsterdam's beer terraces. Hunter Lain and Co has submitted a planning application to develop a new malt whisky distillery at Ardnahoe in the north-east of the island. If the plans go ahead construction could start in May with the first whisky flowing by the end of 2017. Distiller Jean Donnay is also hoping to start work on a new distillery west of Bowmore later this year. Hunter Laing is a family-owned business, formed in 2013, which now distributes to 65 markets in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australasia. Director Scott Laing said: "The opportunity to bring fresh investment to the island and provide a new chapter in Islay's illustrious whisky-making history is tremendously exciting all of us." "The distillery could drive Islay's economy by creating several full-time jobs on the island as well as many seasonal positions." If Hunter Laing is given permission for the project, land owned by Islay Estates will be transferred to the bottler. Lord Margadale, chairman of Islay Estates, said: "Islay is a beautiful island that is famed for its distinctive whisky; this is an exciting opportunity to build on this reputation and to help secure a strong economic future for the island." There will be a 21-day public consultation period before Argyll and Bute Council makes a decision on the application. Jean Donnay, owner and designer of Glann ar Mor distillery in Brittany, also has plans for a new distillery, on Loch Indaal, just west of Bowmore. The Gartbreck project was delayed by a problem "from a missing plot of land" but Ms Donnay has said she hopes work will start this spring. Palestinian officials said two people were hurt as sites belonging to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine were hit. Shells also reportedly damaged a water tower in the town of Beit Hanoun. Earlier, a rocket launched in Gaza landed near a house in the Israeli town of Sderot without causing any injuries. Israel and militants in Gaza led by Hamas, which dominates the coastal territory, fought a 50-day war in the summer of 2014. Since then, a ceasefire has largely held, but some small jihadist groups have defied the agreement and periodically fired rockets at Israel. A senior Israeli military official told the Haaretz newspaper that "dozens" of strikes on Sunday night had targeted Hamas "infrastructure". "The attacks were out of the ordinary, but there is no intention to escalate the situation," the official added. Military spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner said it remained "committed to the stability of the region and operated in order to bring quiet to the people of southern Israel". Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "We hold [Israel] responsible for the escalation in the Gaza Strip and we stress that its aggression will not succeed in breaking the will of our people and dictate terms to the resistance." Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahhar later blamed "a group not committed to the principles of the resistance of the occupation" for firing the rocket at Sderot. Haaretz identified the group as Ahfad al-Sahaba-Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis, which it said was affiliated with Salafist groups that identify with so-called Islamic State (IS). The world number one, 21, had planned to appeal after Lutalo Muhammad was chosen instead for the -80kg category. But Cook has given up on the High Court challenge and declined the offer of being first reserve for the Games. "Leaving aside emotion and the rights and wrongs, selection policy must be more objective. Athletes have to be absolutely clear what the selection criteria are, and have the opportunity to obtain clarification when excluded. "Governing bodies who are recipients of public funding have a responsibility to act transparently, and be prepared to explain themselves. UK Sport is promising tighter controls on sports governance and, in the future, some funding for individual sports will depend on standards being met." "The financial implications for me, and, more importantly, for my parents, of doing so are too prohibitive," he said in a statement. Cook, from Dorchester in Dorset, broke down in tears when he learned of his omission from the London Games. In a statement on Friday, he said it would be "hugely difficult" to work with Team GB coaches after the controversy. "I wish all of the athletes the very best of luck - that includes Lutalo Muhammad," he said. "I love my country. I love my sport. I don't think that I could have done any more in terms of my performance. I will sit down with my team though and consider my best way forward in the coming months. "The Olympics, and especially a home Olympics, would have been the pinnacle of my career. I feel totally devastated." His team say they have evidence which supports their view that GB Taekwondo was planning to overlook him for Olympic selection as early as August 2011. He quit the GB academy programme two months earlier, but officials have denied the Olympic selection was pre-determined. The British Olympic Association (BOA) declined to meet Cook's legal team to discuss the omission at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "I am really disappointed that the BOA did not agree to my case being heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It is the specialist forum for sports-related matters," he said. "The High Court is significantly more expensive, time-consuming and does not have the experience or expertise in dealing with sports-related disputes." The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) is currently conducting an investigation into GB Taekwondo's selection procedure, but Cook said the results would not be known before the Olympics. "It has already publicly stated that the selection process has brought the sport into disrepute due to a perceived lack of transparency," said Cook. "I welcome this investigation but I am hugely disappointed that the WTF has now indicated that it will not finalise the review and findings in time for London 2012. This is particularly disappointing as the BOA had reserved the right to reconsider its decision to ratify Great Britain Taekwondo's nomination in light of the WTF's findings." Cook called for the introduction of a new worldwide automatic selection criteria, which would guarantee the top 10 in the world in each weight category a place at future Olympics and World Championships. GB Taekwondo has said it believes Muhammad's fighting style to be more tactically beneficial for London 2012, with a greater ability to score and concedes fewer head kicks than Cook. In a statement reacting to Cook dropping his appeal, it said: "This has been a difficult and unsettling period for both athletes concerned, as well as for the GB team as whole. "However, Aaron is a world-class athlete who still has a very bright future in the sport and we would hope that he continues to be available to represent Great Britain in the future. "With just four weeks before the opening ceremony, the focus must now be to ensure that the Great Britain team has the best prepared athletes at London 2012." But Jamie Cunningham, chief executive officer of the Professional Sports Group which represents Cook, said: "I am sure that the complete story will emerge in time. "Many individuals within the sport of taekwondo know the true story but ultimately could not speak out for fear of damaging their own careers." A first win over New Zealand in Chicago was followed by Saturday's battling 27-24 victory over Australia. All four semi-finalists at the 2015 Rugby World Cup came from the southern hemisphere but Ireland also secured a maiden win in South Africa in June. "We feel that as a team on our day we can compete with anyone," said Best. "After the Rugby World Cup there was all the talk about a big void between the northern and southern hemisphere. "We didn't think there was a gap 12 months ago but we've simply got to keep improving. It's a good sign for us with the depth that we are now building." Ireland's success over the Wallabies saw them become the first European side to defeat all three of the big southern hemisphere sides in a calendar year since England achieved the feat in 2003. Media playback is not supported on this device Schmidt described seeing his injury-ravaged team beat Australia as "one of his proudest days" after a performance which showed "immense character". The New Zealand-born coach signed a contract extension through to the 2019 Rugby World Cup before their successful November series, which began by ending the All Blacks' 18-match unbeaten run in Chicago. Their resultant rise to fourth place in the world rankings could prove crucial to their seeding for the World Cup draw on 10 May, with Ireland still having the chance to improve their position with a good performance in the 2017 Six Nations. By contrast, third-placed Australia only have this Saturday's Test against England at Twickenham to consolidate their standing. Schmidt handed out 18 debuts in his team's 12 Tests during 2016, demonstrating the strength in depth at his disposal. The emergence of the likes of Garry Ringrose, Joey Carbery and Josh van der Flier as quality performers on the international stage have been major plusses from the autumn internationals and the 'feelgood' factor is returning to Irish rugby after a disappointing World Cup quarter-final exit and an indifferent Six Nations campaign. Having only beaten Italy and Scotland, and drawn with Wales, in the 2016 Six Nations, Ireland will be hopeful that home advantage will prove enough to help them overhaul France and Grand Slam winners England at the Aviva Stadium in February and March of next year. By that stage, the battle for British & Irish Lions places will have been brought into much sharper focus, with tight-head prop Tadhg Furlong among those already emerging as a contender to be on the plane to New Zealand. "It's kind of daunting in a way, to be honest with you," said prop Furlong of links to next summer's Lions squad. "Because you know in your own head that 'jeez, my scrum wasn't great there' or 'my entry wasn't great here, and if I do this against a really great scrummaging pack, I'm going to be torn apart here'. "That is your thought process and, with people throwing that out, you get kind of embarrassed. "The Lions is synonymous with such a big brand and so many great players have played there. Do I see myself there at the minute? No. "I think I have a long journey to go and, as I said, I've only started four games for Ireland, two Heineken Cup games for Leinster and it is a big, big step to be making those shouts." About 1.7 million cars rolled off production lines in 2016, a rise of 8.5% on the year before. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) added that exports rose 10.3% to 1.35 million vehicles, a record for the second consecutive year. But SMMT head Mike Hawes repeated fears that investment would suffer without a suitable post-Brexit EU trade deal. Mr Hawes said that car production was on course to reach an all-time high before 2020. But the SMMT's statement sounded a note of caution after revealing that investment by the industry fell to £1.66bn last year, compared with about £2.5bn in recent years. On Tuesday, Mr Hawes told MPs on the Treasury Committee that many carmakers are putting off investment until there is more clarity over the UK's trade relations with the EU. Mr Hawes said: "Significant investment in new plants and products over the past few years has driven this growth, not a post-Brexit bounce. "We want trade deals but they must be the right deals, not rushed deals. Failure to do so could damage UK automotive manufacturing beyond repair." The imposition of tariffs would be "a red line for the industry," he said. "There would be an impact on demand and jobs - that's a cliff edge we want to avoid." However, Business Secretary Greg Clark insisted the car industry would thrive, saying: "Our modern industrial strategy will make the UK one of the most competitive places in the world to grow a business and these figures show why the UK automotive sector has such a vital role to play as we build on our strengths and extend excellence into the future." UK car exports to EU countries increased by 7.5% to 758,680 last year, accounting for half of all exports, the SMMT said. There was also a big rise in car exports to the US, where demand jumped by almost half, accounting for around 14% of all UK car exports. Increases were also seen in Turkey, Japan and Canada, with a modest 3% rise in China, the SMMT reported. The UK has 15 car plants, directly employing 169,000 workers and 814,000 across the sector. Jaguar Land Rover increased production by 11% last year to 544,000, Nissan's rose by 6.5% to 507,000, the Mini by 4.9% to 210,000, and Honda by 12% to 134,000. Production of Toyota models fell by 5% to 180,000. The top 10 British best-sellers worldwide last year were the Nissan Qashqai, Toyota Auris, Mini, Vauxhall Astra, Range Rover Sport and Evoque, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Honda Civic, Jaguar F-Pace and Jaguar XE. The bodies of a Spanish man and a Polish woman were found on Saturday at the Dome du Gouter peak, at an altitude of 4,400m. The pair were found on the slopes of the mountain between Italy and France, near the Gouter refuge. Their deaths come just days after nine climbers were found killed during an avalanche on the nearby slopes of Mont Maudit. According to Italian news sources, the pair were part of a larger group of eight climbers who set out to climb the mountain earlier on Saturday and got caught in a storm. Their six fellow climbers were rescued by Italian alpine rescue teams. All are currently being treated for exposure in hospital in the Italian mountain town of Aosta. The bodies of the pair who died on Saturday were found on the French side of the border. In Thursday's incident, which local authorities said was the deadliest avalanche in recent memory, nine climbers died on Mont Maudit. Mont Maudit is the massif's third-highest peak, rising to 4,465m (14,650ft) and is considered one of the more difficult, though popular, paths to the summit of Mont Blanc, western Europe's highest peak. Three of those killed were from the UK, three from Germany, two from Spain and one from Switzerland. Twelve other climbers were injured. Among those who died was 55-year-old Roger Payne, was one of Britain's most respected climbers and a former general-secretary of the British Mountaineering Council (BMC).. The Oak Leafers dominated the first half as they led 0-12 to 0-3 at the interval and held on to win comfortably despite Antrim's second-half revival. Early points from Peter Hagan, Niall Loughlin and Niall Toner helped Derry lead 0-6 to 0-1 at Celtic Park. Ronan Hanna saved a Derry penalty before the Oak Leafers were restricted to four second-half points. Derry hit the first two second-half points to extend their lead to 0-14 to 0-3 as Loughlin pointed his fourth 45 of the contest. Antrim hit five unanswered points to cut the lead to six as Oisin Lenaghan, Ryan McNulty and Odhran Eastwood (two) were among the scorers. However, the nearest the Saffrons could get was the five-point margin at the finish. Fergal McCusker's Derry side will face Donegal at Ballybofey next week. They said there had been seven injury accidents at the site since improvements were carried out in 2011. The two organisations have written to the Scottish government asking it to help resolve the issue. Transport Scotland is investigating the problems and hopes to have completed its studies by the end of March. NHS chairman John Raine and SBC leader David Parker are behind the calls for action on the junction from the hospital to the Melrose bypass - the A6091 road. "I have received considerable representation from staff and patients at the BGH about concerns at the road junction and the regular accidents that take place there," Mr Raine said. "There are very real worries about the entrance to the BGH and it is completely unacceptable that the region's only hospital should have an accident blackspot at its entrance." Mr Parker said "minor tweaks" had been made in 2012 but it was time for "something more substantial" to be done. "The road junction at the BGH is in my ward, and as well as my own constituents who regularly raise concerns, a great many people from communities across the Borders have made representations to me about the unacceptable nature of the junction and the many accidents which happen there," he said. As well as writing to Transport Minister Derek Mackay, the council and the health board have contacted local MPs and MSPs to raise the issue. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: "Road safety is a key priority and we can confirm the Borders General Hospital junction has been identified for investigation. "Our operating company for the south east unit, Amey, are due to complete this road safety investigation by the end of March and we will consider any recommendations made once the report has been received." Sharon Edwards, 42, is charged with murdering David Edwards at their home in Chorley, Lancashire, in August. Pictures of Mr Edwards showed him with a black eye and burst lip while his face was described as black and blue. Mrs Edwards told Manchester Crown Court she had been "protective" of Mr Edwards and the stab wound was accidental. Solicitor Mr Edwards, 51, was found dead in bed with a chest wound two months after the couple married in Las Vegas Prosecutors said Mrs Edwards' claim her husband had walked into a kitchen knife was "fictional". Mrs Edwards previously admitted holding the knife that killed him but denies deliberately pushing it into him. During cross examination, prosecutor Anne Whyte QC challenged Mrs Edwards' version of events. She said: "It is a wound caused by a knife that has gone 8cm into his chest and you hadn't realised that had happened?" The defendant said: "I hadn't realised." Ms Whyte QC suggested to Ms Edwards she was "making it up as you are going along". She said the defendant fully appreciated "the supreme gravity of what happened". "You were busy worrying about yourself," she said. Mrs Edwards replied: "That is not true." The prosecutor said: "I'm going to suggest you knew perfectly well you needed an explanation of why you were holding the knife at the time of your husband's fatal injury. "You were thinking of number one." Ms Whyte suggested Mrs Edwards had told her husband to "rewrite history" and lie about injuries she had inflicted on him. The court heard he had told a doctor and a nurse that his wife regularly assaulted him. In a recording of a conversation Mr Edwards had with his wife, he was heard to say "we are going to have to refine the excuse for my eye, you know the garage door that we made up, that doesn't wash". Mrs Edwards said she had only ever slapped her husband but claimed he had not been frightened of her. She told the court: "I was a loving wife and I was protective of him." Ms Edwards denies the murder charge. The trial continues. The 24-year-old, who made six appearances during one season at the Valley, has signed a two-year deal with the League One side. Bees manager Uwe Rosler told the club website: "With Simon Moore going out the door, there is an opportunity for someone to come in. "We decided David was the perfect choice for us." He added: "He is at the right age and he is very hungry to make the number one spot his own. "David will face strong competition for the goalkeeper spot from Jack Bonham and Richard Lee, when Richard is fit again." "Goalkeeper is a crucial position and David is a very good player." Former England Under-20 international Button came through the youth ranks at Tottenham but only made one senior appearance for the Premier League club before joining Charlton last summer. Since turning pro in 2005, Button has had loan spells at 11 different clubs. Norway, the UK, France and Spain all scrambled jets as the TU-160 planes skirted the airspace of each country. It comes at a time of heightened tension between the West and Russia. Correspondents say the frequency of Russian bombers being intercepted by Nato planes has increased markedly. Spanish media say it is the furthest south such an operation has had to take place. How to spot a Russian bomber Russia in battle for US respect The incident happened on 22 September but the full extent only came to light recently in a statement by the French ministry of defence (in French). It referred to it as an Air Policing [Baltic support] mission by the four countries involved. It said Norway first detected the two Blackjack bombers to the north and scrambled two F-16 fighters to accompany them towards the north of Scotland. The British RAF then sent Typhoon aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth to intercept the planes as they flew to the west of Shetland. The RAF said at the time that at no point did the Russian jets enter UK air space. British Typhoons were also launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire as a precautionary measure, the RAF added, but did not intercept the bombers. The Russian planes then skirted the west of Ireland and were picked up by two French Rafale fighter planes 100km off the coast of Brittany, the French ministry of defence said. Two other Rafale jets later took over to shadow the bombers as they flew south. Finally, Spain sent two F-18 fighters to intercept the Russian planes north of Bilbao. The bombers then turned around and made a return journey. It is not believed that any further interceptions took place. Iceland later complained to Russia that TU-160 Blackjack bombers had flown too close to civil airliners on the same day. The foreign ministry said the planes had flown between 6,000-9,000ft (1,800-2,700m) below a plane flying from Reykjavik to Stockholm. For the UK, it was the latest of several similar incidents involving Russian military aircraft. In November 2015, Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from Lossiemouth to intercept two Blackjack bombers. RAF Typhoons from Lossiemouth were also scrambled in October 2015 to intercept two similar aircraft flying over the North Sea. Russia's relations with the West have declined since the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014. They recently hit a new low when the US broke off military co-operation with Moscow over Syria. The Sims Group is consulting over plans to close its Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment unit at South Dock, which would see 99 posts go. A 45-day consultation period began on 10 July. The GMB union is consulting and said no final decision had been made, but changes in the market place meant the business was "commercially unattractive". In June, Australia-based Sims Metal Management published outline details of a restructuring of its business in the UK and Canada. It said the review "determined certain loss-making assets to be outside of the strategic long-term interests of the company". A statement continued: "Legislation and market dynamics in the UK and Canada have resulted in these businesses being commercially unattractive to the company going forward". The Sims Group is the world's largest publicly-listed recycler of both metals and electronic materials. A nearby fridge recycling unit operated by Sims, which employs 35 staff, will be unaffected by the closure proposals. Luke Harlow invited Kayleigh Haywood to his flat and engaged in sexual activity with the schoolgirl - before his friend Stephen Beadman raped and murdered her. In one text, Harlow said of their planned meeting: "Let's just keep it secret." Both of the men deny falsely imprisoning Kayleigh at Harlow's home in Ibstock, Leicestershire. In another message to Kayleigh, Harlow wrote: "I really like you I just keep worrying about the age range because I could get into trouble. "I am too old for you and I will get into trouble for seeing you." Stephen Beadman, 29, of George Avenue, Ibstock, Leicestershire Luke Harlow, 27, also of George Avenue, Ibstock, Leicestershire Harlow first made contact with Kayleigh on 31 October, by Facebook. In one text to Kayleigh, Harlow wrote: "I don't want you to think I'm a creep would you be my girlfriend if I was younger." In another he wrote: "Don't go around telling people about this they will think it's weird." He also asked Kayleigh: "What do you say if a lad chats you up at school?" Kayleigh replied: "I'm taken." In another message in the days before they met, Harlow wrote: "I will go to the shop on Friday to get some alcohol, it helps if you're a bit drunk when you meet someone for the first time." The trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard how Beadman did a Google search for "lime pit" hours after dumping Kayleigh's body in a hedgerow. He is also alleged to have accessed a betting website and watched a TV show on his computer shortly after raping and murdering Kayleigh. The court has heard that Kayleigh went to Harlow's flat willingly on the evening of Friday 13 November, having told her family she was staying with a friend. However, Beadman and Harlow are accused of keeping her prisoner between about 21:00 GMT on 14 November and 03:00 on 15 November. Further analysis of Beadman's computer showed he used it to access Kayleigh's Facebook page and Harlow's Facebook page shortly before his arrest, the court heard. The trial continues. Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group will retain a 20% holding in the chain, which owns 267 gyms in nine countries. Private equity firm CVC Capital, which jointly owned the health club with Virgin Group, sold its stake entirely. Brait's primary listing is on the MTF exchange in Luxembourg, with a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The group also has an almost 20% stake in the UK's Iceland Foods. Brait said it would fund the deal from cash reserves. The deal is subject to approval from South African competition authorities. "Virgin Active is a business that we are proud to have been associated with from the very beginning, over 15 years ago," said Sir Richard. "We are delighted that we will continue to play a part in this alongside Brait, another long-term investor with a strong track record in growing businesses." Brait's chief executive, John Gnodde, said that "Virgin Active's successful track record, high cash generation and exciting growth prospects in both emerging and developed markets make this an attractive opportunity" for the company and its shareholders. Former ambulance driver Michael Kearns, 46, cut up an ambulance on its way to hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. He pulled his car in front of the vehicle and then hit the driver, the city's crown court heard. Kearns denied dangerous driving and assault, but was found guilty and given a nine-month suspended sentence. Judge Patricia Lynch banned Kearns from driving for a year. She also ordered Kearns, of Broomfield, Chelmsford, to complete unpaid community work. The court heard he struck a glancing blow and his victim was not badly hurt. Tom Nicholson Pratt, mitigating for Kearns, said he had suffered from post-traumatic stress after being attacked several times while working as an ambulance driver. "He only threw one punch which connected - the driver referred to it glancing off his cheek," he said. Kearns cared for his sick mother and worked as a driver transporting organs for transplant, he said. Prosecutor Alex Sutter-Green told the court there was an elderly patient in the back of the vehicle and a paramedic travelling in the ambulance witnessed the attack. "The defendant got out, opened the door and punched the victim," he said. The court heard Kearns had a previous assault conviction following a similar incident in 2013. Judge Lynch said: "You have led an otherwise good and industrious life. "The post-traumatic stress from your previous work helps explain why an otherwise sensible and sane person commits offences such as this. "It is a very serious matter and it is just not acceptable." In Dudley North, the seat he was selected by the Conservatives to fight in the general election, Mr Amin had become hard to avoid. When I first looked at the local newspaper online, the pages were surrounded by "Amin" logos in the preferred Tory shade of blue. Not long after we met, he asked me to pose for a photo, snapped by one of his campaign team, and doubtless rapidly tweeted out to followers of the would-be MP. Perhaps no surprise that the man running such a disciplined operation has served in the army and been to Sandhurst. That was very much the message he delivered on Friday, as he addressed school and college pupils at a hustings in Dudley which I'd been invited to chair. There was combative debate, too, not least with his Labour rival, the MP Ian Austin. Both men knew the Dudley contest was critical for their respective parties; Ian Austin held the seat by just over 600 votes in 2010. Just as David Cameron was denied a majority by failing to take seats like this one, so Ed Miliband is unlikely to be in No 10 if Labour loses Dudley North. He was self-confident and fluent. The only obvious mis-step came right at the end, when he interrupted Vicky Duckworth, the Green candidate for the neighbouring seat. She expressed the opinion that politics often seemed to be about men shouting at each other; Mr Amin complained she was engaging in gender bias. A few weeks ago, one Conservative MP who knows him well and respects his talents, said Afzal Amin had warned him of the risks of over-confidence. He thought he risked running before he could walk. Well, he stumbled badly this weekend. Whatever the purpose of his contacts with the English Defence League - and he strongly disputes claims that he wanted them to hold a protest that would then be called off, for which he could then take the credit - the exposure has damaged him and, potentially, the prospects of his party re-taking the seat. In February, the EDL staged a rally against plans for a new mosque in the town. As the Mail on Sunday story makes clear, Afzal Amin pleaded with them beforehand not to hold that demonstration; but it went ahead anyway. It's what happened subsequently which will feature in Tuesday's disciplinary hearing. Over the weekend, I put his defence to a very senior Conservative source - that this was an attempt to broker a compromise in order to bring together a divided community. The arch response: Dudley isn't Kandahar. Nor do I think from my visits to the town, where I'm going to be based for the general election, will people in Dudley appreciate being painted as somewhere riven by racial discord. True, Dudley was the scene of one of England's earliest race riots. But that was in 1962. Although the controversy over replacing the mosque - currently in a converted school and inadequate for the numbers who want to worship there - has been running for a decade, community relations are generally good. Even those who don't want a new mosque didn't want the EDL protestors - nor to be fair the anti-fascist counter-demonstrators who followed them. As for the Conservative Party, the view of the national leadership is that you don't collaborate with the EDL. Not least because the Tories are still struggling to bury some historic baggage in the Black Country: Enoch Powell was an MP in Wolverhampton when he delivered his Rivers of Blood speech about immigration in 1968. Four years before that, there was the notorious election in Smethwick which the Conservatives were accused of winning by wooing white voters with an offensive rhyme suggesting who'd they'd get as a neighbour if they voted Labour. Afzal Amin grew up in Smethwick so he should be aware of that history. He was, until his suspension on Saturday, one of about 17% of Conservative parliamentary candidates who are not white. The party is proud of that, but it's still struggling to translate that into votes. Afzal Amin may believe that he can persuade the party to lift the suspension when he meets party officials on Tuesday. I have my doubts. Even if they accept his defence, will the other parties be so charitable? The allegations would follow him on the campaign trail, and make planned visits by cabinet ministers next to impossible. On Friday, just before the hustings in Dudley began, Afzal Amin gave me his business card. It introduces him as 'prospective member of Parliament Dudley North'. I think I'll keep it; it could yet become a collector's item. Ambulance crews and police were called to Kendor Gardens at 08:07 GMT and found the man with stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police say that a man is in custody on suspicion of murder. Police believe the victim was attacked when people would have been making their way to the station and have appealed for witnesses to contact them. His next of kin have yet to be informed. Det Ch Insp Dave Reid said he was "appealing for anyone who may have seen the stabbing or the events leading up to the incident to get in contact with us". A post-mortem examination and formal identification will take place "in due course", the Met said. The discovery of the body was made at approximately 12:45 GMT at a property in Bridge Street. Dyfed-Powys Police do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and the man has yet to be identified. Inquiries are ongoing. The footage revealed that the clever primates habitually make special water-dipping sticks - chewing the end of the stick to turn it into a soft, water-absorbing brush. Primate researchers examined the "dipping sticks" and concluded they were made specifically for drinking. The findings are reported in the American Journal of Primatology. Lead researcher Juan Lapuente, from the Comoe Chimpanzee Conservation Project, in Ivory Coast, explained that using similar brush-tipped sticks to dip into bees' nests for honey was common in chimpanzee populations across Africa. "But the use of brush-tipped sticks to dip for water is completely new and had never been described before," he told BBC News. "These chimps use especially long brush tips that they make specifically for water - much longer than those used for honey." The researchers tested the chimps' drinking sticks in an "absorption experiment", which showed that the particularly long brush-tips provided an advantage. "The longer the brush, the more water they collect," said Mr Lapuente. "This technology allows Comoe chimpanzees to obtain water from extremely narrow and deep tree holes that only they - and no other animal - can exploit, which [gives] them a superb adaptive advantage to survive in this dry and unpredictable environment." This suggests that this particular population of chimpanzees has what the researchers call a "drinking culture" - a custom shared throughout this group of making these special water-dipping sticks to help them through the dry season. The population belongs to the Western Chimpanzee sub-species, now critically endangered. Follow Victoria on Twitter North Tyneside Council is to demolish the old Whisky Bends pub, the former Avenue pub and 2 Eastcliffe, which includes the former High Point Hotel. The three derelict properties are being removed as part of a wider rejuvenation of North Tyneside's seaside. A council spokeswoman said she was "delighted" to see "real progress". The council said it has also agreed to finalise negotiations with the owner of the former Wallsend police station. The deal would allow Wallsend Town Hall to be used as a business centre and deliver land for affordable housing in the town centre. Elected mayor Norma Redfearn said: "I know the people in both Whitley Bay and Wallsend have been so frustrated at the delays they have had to suffer over many years. "I hope they will be delighted that they will eventually be able to see some real progress." As part of the regeneration, tourist attraction Spanish City is to be restored and reopened thanks to a £3.7m Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The moves were agreed at a meeting of the elected mayor and cabinet on Monday. The bank cited lower-than-expected inflationary pressures for the cut, from the previous rate of 2%. Data published last week showed inflation is at a record low - well below the target band of 2%-3%. Investors in Australia cheered the bank's move. The benchmark S&P ASX 200 jumped 2% to close at 5,353.80. "The board judged that prospects for sustainable growth in the economy, with inflation returning to target over time, would be improved by easing monetary policy at this meeting," said Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens in a statement. The rate cut comes hours ahead of the federal budget for 2016-17. Small tax cuts and increased spending on health, infrastructure and education have already been foreshadowed or announced to be part of the budget. It is also seen as an unofficial election campaign launch. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will dissolve parliament and call an early election on or before 11 May. Elsewhere in the region, other Asian stock markets were higher on Tuesday following positive trading sessions in the US and Europe on Monday. In South Korea, the Kospi index closed up 0.4% at 1,996.41. Trading in China restarted after a long weekend and the Shanghai Composite index closed up 54.32 points, or 1.85%, at 2,992.64. Investors shrugged off a private survey which indicated a mild contraction in China's manufacturing activity. The Caixin Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) came in at 49.4 in April, compared with 49.7 in March. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction. The PMI tracks activities in factories and workshops. The data differs from China's state figures released at the weekend, which showed a reading of 50.1 for April, compared with 50.2 in March. In Hong Kong the Hang Seng index fell 390.11 points, or 1.85%, to 20,676.94. Markets in Japan are shut for three days of national holidays and will re-open on Friday. Hutchison Ports, which owns the freight terminal in Suffolk, is extending berths eight and nine by 200yds (190m). The quay and approaches are being dredged to a depth of 59ft (18m) to allow larger container ships to dock. The extended berths at the southern end of the port are due to be completed by mid-2015. The extended quay will have three new ship-to-shore gantry cranes which will have a reach across ships which are 25 containers wide. Clemence Cheng, Hutchison Ports (UK) chief executive officer, said: "The scale of operations at the port already gives us the ability to berth more large container ships simultaneously than other ports in the UK. "The new extension will increase the berthing permutations we can offer and continue to ensure that we turn our customers' vessels around in the quickest possible time."

22 December 2015 Last updated at 15:09 GMT Fitted with solar-powered panels, they show how long passengers have to wait for the next buses, as well as route maps and timetables. Four bus stops have been fitted with the tech so far. Chris Foxx quizzed TfL's head of technology Simon Reed about the innovation. From August, 15-17 year-olds in young offenders institutions in England will have to be in their cells with the lights out by 22:30. Mr Grayling said enforcing the blanket policy across all five YOIs would give teenagers more structure. Critics say the government should be focusing on more important prison reform issues. Mr Grayling said it was "crucial that young people, most of whom have had chaotic and troubled lives, finally get the discipline so badly needed to help turn their lives around". "In some prisons young people are allowed to go to bed when they please," he claimed. "I don't think that is right. Stopping this inconsistency and introducing a strict lights-out policy is all part of our approach to addressing youth offending. Those who fail to comply will face tough sanctions." The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said the plans would stop the teenagers from "staying up all night watching TV". Offenders who did not observe the new bedtimes would be penalised and lose privileges like access to a television, it said. Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, criticised the move, claiming it would exacerbate physical restraint problems. She said the prison system was already struggling with a host of more pressing problems - among them overcrowding, budget cuts and "dangerously low staffing". "As most parents of teenagers know, common-sense discussion, constructive activity, setting reasonable boundaries and encouraging personal responsibility all work better than new hard and fast rules backed by petty restrictions and harsh punishments." Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, warned the move could be a "death sentence" for offenders. She told BBC Breakfast that self-injury rates in young offenders institutions were an "epidemic" that needed to be dealt with and called for a greater emphasis to be placed on improving physical activities and education for offenders. "I think politicians seem to live in a fantasy world where they think prisons seem to be something like a public schools - well they are not, they are the opposite," she said. The new bedtime rule is part of an overall reform of young offenders institutions in England, which will see the number of hours offenders spend in education doubled to 24 every week. BBC News home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the move was part of Mr Grayling's plan to "bring more order" to the centres. "There is an issue about whether it can be enforced because there is, I'm told, no central switch in these young offenders institutions that can actually turn out the lights at 22:30 and it will depend on the young person in the cell to do it themselves. Obviously that could create difficulties for prison officers," he said. Earlier this month Mr Grayling unveiled detailed plans for the first "secure college", to open in Leicestershire in 2017. The £85m facility will house up to 320 offenders aged 12 to 17. It is meant to be a move away from the "traditional environment of bars on windows" and focus instead on education. As of April this year, there were 827 young people serving custodial sentences in England's five young offenders institutions, according to the MoJ. Patients with this sign on scans more often develop serious problems like heart failure, says the Glasgow team. It's hoped the discovery could help with preventing such complications. Half a million UK people have heart failure and heart attacks are the leading cause. Heart failure can leave people unable to do simple everyday tasks, such as climbing the stairs. Symptoms occur because the damaged heart doesn't have enough strength to pump blood around the body efficiently. This makes the person breathless, tired and, untreated, means fluid can gather in the legs and lungs. There are drugs that can help, but these have to be taken long-term. Some people with heart failure may need heart surgery too. The British Heart Foundation-funded work followed just over 200 patients to see how well they fared in the hours, weeks and months after being admitted to hospital with a heart attack. The researchers, who are presenting their work at a heart conference in Manchester, ran extra tests on the patients while they were in hospital. Prof Colin Berry and his team found that patients who had signs of bleeding in their heart muscle were more likely to develop later complications than patients who didn't have this damage. This type of knowledge could ultimately help when doctors are deciding what treatment they should give and how long the patient should be closely monitored, says Prof Berry, research director at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank, Scotland. He suspects the bleeds may partly be caused by the blood-thinning drugs that doctors need to give to patients to treat a heart attack. Heart attacks occur when the main blood vessels supplying the heart get blocked by a clot. Prof Berry says the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle tissue itself can also get blocked, and this makes them leaky. He says nearly half of heart attack patients probably have some bleeding or bruising of the heart - although not all of them will develop heart failure. "This might explain why patients who have had effective treatment for their heart attack can still have adverse outcomes. "We now know heart muscle bleeding is an adverse complication that we want to avoid," he said. His team is now investigating whether there might be a better way to treat patients who have had a more severe heart attack - by injecting blood-thinning or clot-busting drugs directly into the heart's blood vessels rather than intravenously, for example. Spotting a heart attack Not everyone experiences the same symptoms, but common ones include: Chest pain - this may feel like pressure or squeezing and can radiate from the chest to the jaw, neck, arms and back Shortness of breath Feeling weak and/or lightheaded It is important to seek urgent medical help if you think you or someone you know is having a heart attack because prompt treatment saves lives Bydd trigolion Llanberis a Bethesda yn derbyn eu cyflenwad trydan o gynllun hydro newydd drwy ddefnyddio dŵr glaw sy'n disgyn yn Eryri.

BBC News explains, in 90 seconds. Produced by Mohamed Madi Sources: UN and International Organization for Migration Wildlife experts have applied to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for a licence to release 10 animals at an undisclosed location in south Wales this year. But farming unions are worried about potential damage to land and crops. NRW said it would have to consider the impact on existing wildlife and land use. The Welsh Beaver Project said there would be a public consultation following the re-submission of the application - which was first made more than a year ago. The group, which has previously identified the River Rheidiol in Ceredigion as a preferred location to release the animals, said they can be beneficial for ecology and help with habitat restoration. Scotland recently listed beavers as a protected species following a successful reintroduction and a pair were released on the River Otter in Devon in May to boost the genetic diversity of a group already in existence. But Dafydd Jarrett, policy advisor for NFU Cymru, said its members needed clarity about the scheme and its potential impact on agricultural land and livestock. "Arguably it is not necessarily a reintroduction, it is an introduction of a species," he said. "We haven't had them in Wales for many centuries now. "We do not know really what diseases they carry and the affect to other species. There needs to be very, very careful thought before they are brought in." Mr Jarrett added that the union had been in touch with NRW and was awaiting a date for a meeting to discuss the issues. The Farmers' Union of Wales said more work needed to be done before beavers were reintroduced, if at all. "Beavers can threaten property, the dams they build cause problems for migrating fish, they can damage agricultural crops and negatively affect other natural resources, not to mention flooding," a spokesman said. "There has to be a compensation and control scheme in place and there has to be a contingency plan." A body found by North Wales Police on Saturday has now been identified as that of Ms Kearns, 43, who had been missing since 7 May. Anthony James Bird, 48, will appear before Llandudno Magistrates Court on Monday. Det Ch Insp Neil Harrison said: "Our thoughts are with Tracy's family and friends at this difficult time." "I am conscious of the impact the incident has had locally, and I would like to thank the community of Kinmel Bay for all their patience and support over the past five days," he added. In March Ofsted said leadership, pupil safety and pupil achievement at Ely College were all "inadequate". But it has now emerged a Department for Education (DfE) adviser praised the "strength" of leadership at the Cambridgeshire academy last October. The DfE said it had since issued a warning notice to the school. The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said the differing views of Ofsted and the DfE adviser highlighted how difficult it was to assess school performance. The DfE adviser, acting on behalf of the regional schools commissioner, wrote to the school saying: "Our DfE visit to the College and meeting its leaders and governors fully endorsed the Ofsted and SEF (self-evaluation form) evaluation that leadership and management represent an overall strength. "The vision of achieving together in partnership with students, parents, governors and the local community shines through all the college's practices, curricula and procedures." But Ofsted's inspection in February found leadership and management, pupil safety, quality of teaching and pupil achievement were all "inadequate". The school, which has nearly 1,300 pupils, is run by CfBT Trust, which oversees 19 academies and free schools. Cambridgeshire County Council has safeguarding responsibilities towards the school. Emails from Keith Grimwade, the council's service director for learning, were released after a Freedom of Information request. They reveal he told councillors the Ofsted report was: "One of the worst reports we have seen and is bound to attract a lot of attention." Inspectors also raised concerns that "some younger students, those with disabilities or special educational needs felt unsafe" and that "some unaccompanied" visitors were not checked, posing "a risk to the safeguarding of students". The DfE would not say whether it stood by the adviser's judgement. In a statement, a DfE spokesman said: "Following Ely College's poor reported 2014 exam results, our education advisers informally visited the school in October to discuss the actions being taken to address underperformance. "The advisers talked extensively to the school about its poor exam performance. "We have since issued the trust with a warning notice, which requires the school to set out how it will improve standards. "We expect all schools issued with notices to take effective and immediate action to ensure pupils receive the best possible education." After the Ofsted report recommended Ely College be put in special measures, principal Catherine Jenkinson-Dix and others in the senior management team resigned. Despite updating the name of the new head teacher, the CfBT Trust was continuing to claim its most recent Ofsted report rated Ely College as "good" until the error was highlighted by the BBC. A spokeswoman for CfBT Trust said the error had been accidental. The trust said its safeguarding team audited the college's procedures after receiving a draft copy of the Ofsted report adding: "The new senior leadership team at the school have begun implementing the recommendations." Jon Duveen, Cambridgeshire secretary of the NUT, said: "There are concerns at the NUT about the quality of judgements and the consistency of judgements that are not being addressed at the moment." The regional schools commissioner Dr Tim Coulson is yet to comment on the findings of the DfE adviser acting on his behalf. Keegan Hirst, who is separated from his wife, said the time had come "to be true to myself". The father-of-two told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show he did not want "to go on some kind of crusade". But the Batley Bulldogs captain said he hoped his decision to come out would "help break down stereotypes". Hirst announced his sexuality in an interview with the Sunday Mirror, hours before playing in a match against local rivals Dewsbury Rams. The 27-year-old prop said the reaction at the game had been fantastic. "There's not any gay people in Batley, not that I know of," he told the BBC. "I thought it would be a bit of a taboo, a bit of an issue, but it wasn't at all. "There was nothing but support and well-wishers yesterday at the ground from fans, players, the club. And then social media's gone mad. It's really overwhelming and quite humbling. "You expect a bit of stick from fans, from players - you get it whether you're gay or not - but there wasn't any of that." Hirst said he only recently came to accept he was gay when his marriage broke down. "I suppose there's been feelings there for a while but I was convinced it would go away. "I just thought it was a phase - it was inconceivable for me to think that I could be gay. "I lived my life normally as society says we should - have a girlfriend, have a wife." Hirst - who started his career at the Bradford Bulls Academy - said his behaviour changed as he struggled with his identity. "I'd go out for days at a time. I didn't act like a good husband... like a father should act. It was never a conscious decision... maybe thinking back it was a bit of escapism." Very few professional rugby players have chosen to come out. In 1995, Australian Rugby League player Ian Roberts, then aged 30, became the first high-profile player to publicly reveal he was gay. Welsh rugby union star Gareth Thomas came out in 2009 aged 35 and switched to league the following year. Hirst added: "I suppose in sport it's still a bit of a taboo, but judging by the feedback I've had it's not as big a taboo any more. "I don't want to go on some kind of crusade, but pave the way for other people to be able to come out, to feel comfortable enough in their own skin to be who they really are." Nigel Wood, the chief executive of the Rugby Football League, told the Guardian the sport was proud to be open to all. "I feel it's hardly an issue worthy of comment because why shouldn't a player come out and say that they're gay?" ScotRail said a revised timetable would come into place on 22 October, lasting until December. Some services are being cancelled and many journey times will be longer during the works. The engineering is being carried out to increase "overall reliability" and to pave the way for new electric trains, ScotRail said. An interactive timeline has been created by the rail operator to help customers plan their journeys. Some services will be replaced by buses and queuing systems will be in place at key stations. Special arrangements will be made to help people travelling from the Aberdeen area to the Betfred Cup semi final at Hampden and those going to the autumn rugby internationals at Murrayfield. Jacqueline Taggart, ScotRail Alliance customer experience director, said: "We are going through a massive period of change on Scotland's railway. The work that we are carrying out over the next few months will bring about a revolution in rail - with more and better trains, more services and more seats than ever before. "However, while we transform the railway, there is inevitably going to be some impact on people's services. "We are doing everything we can to minimise this, and to keep people moving." Ms Taggart added: "No-one likes having their journey changed. However, this short term disruption will lead to a more reliable, better rail network that will rank amongst the very best." The 8,000-capacity York Community Stadium was originally forecast to cost £37m and open in Spring 2017. The council said costs had risen by £7m to £44m due to delays and increased construction costs, and it would not be operational until 2018. York City Football Club said despite the "frustrating" wait there was now "room for optimism". The council's contribution to the scheme is now more than £14m, compared to an original estimate of £8m, which it planned to borrow. The authority's executive is to be asked to approve a further £5.4m of borrowing and provide £1m from its venture fund to bridge the gaps at a meeting on 17 March. The stadium, which will be home to York City Football Club and York City Knights Rugby League Club, was first proposed in 2009. Chris Steward, the council's Conservative leader, said he remained fully committed to the scheme. "In 2015 significant budget overruns emerged and officers have worked hard to address these," he said. "Through these proposals we anticipate the site will be completed by winter 2017, which will provide a wide-range of significant benefits for the city, including for the city's football and rugby league teams." Plans were finally approved for the site at Jockey Lane, Huntington, in 2015. Jason McGill, York City chairman, said: "It's in the hand of the executive now and there is room for optimism. "From a football club's point of view, we will be looking at using the stadium for games at the start of the 2018/19 season and pre-season matches in July to open the stadium." The development also includes a leisure centre, cinema complex and community facilities. The country has 109 high-performance computing systems on the biannual Top500 list of supercomputers, up 196% from 37 just six months ago. The most powerful supercomputer, China's Tianhe-2, also retained the top spot for the sixth consecutive time. In contrast, the US has seen the number of its supercomputers decline. The US has 200 machines in the rankings, which is the largest number from a single country. But, that total number has fallen to the lowest level since computer scientists started compiling the list 22 years ago. Tianhe-2 was created by China's National University of Defense Technology and is being used at a supercomputer centre in the southern coastal city of Guangzhou. It is capable of performing 33.86 quadrillion calculations in one second, which is almost twice the speed of the second most powerful supercomputer on the list - the US energy department's Titan. Supercomputers are developed to perform complex simulations or applications to help scientific research in a wide range of industries such as predicting weather forecasts to making drug discoveries and DNA sequencing. Rajnish Arora, vice president of enterprise computing at market research firm IDC Asia Pacific, said China's rise does not necessarily mean the US is under-investing, but is more to do with the evolution of China's economy and businesses. "When China started off appearing on the centre stage of the global economy in the 80s and 90s, it was predominately a manufacturing hub," he told the BBC. "All the IP (intellectual property) or design work would happen in Europe or the US and the companies would just send manufacturing or production jobs to China. "Now as these companies become bigger, they want to invest in technical research capabilities, so that they can create a lot more innovation and do basic design and engineering work." The Chinese government and companies want to become the creators and not just producer of products that are being designed elsewhere, he added. David Schibeci at the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Western Australia said that while the Top500 list is a good "general rule of thumb", it is not the final arbiter of the value of supercomputing services. "I'd expect ranking systems to develop a focus on how much valuable research is produced by these systems and the outcomes that benefit the world," he said. "Nations like China have a great opportunity to take a leading role in the HPC (high-performance computing) space but it's important that they focus on research support and upskilling of staff rather than just raw numbers for the Top 500." Chinese companies are also taking a lead as manufacturers of supercomputers, according to the Top500. Chinese firm Sugon overtook IBM in the systems category with 49, while IBM ranks fourth with 45 systems. US tech giant Hewlett-Packard is at the top of the list with 156 supercomputer systems. However, the rankings of the world's top five supercomputers has remained unchanged since June 2013. Mr Arora of IDC says this is in part to do with the significant investment required to build a supercomputer. "Companies need to assess whether they really need that large a system to solve the problems they have," he said. The availability of money is driving Chinese investment in the industry, added Andreas Wicenec, professor of data intensive research at the University of Western Australia. "[It is] to show a high, almost disruptive impact in a field that was completely dominated by the US for decades," he said. "At this point in time, the impact of all these computers is not visible in research outputs in the fields I am used to monitoring more closely." However, if China opened its vast computer resources to international collaborators, its impact in the research field could change very fast, he added. A report by former Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf says mistakes and errors of judgement damaged the LSE's reputation. The school's director, Sir Howard Davies, resigned in March over a £1.5m gift from a foundation led by Colonel Gaddafi's son Saif, a former student. The LSE says it accepts all Lord Woolf's recommendations. The LSE's centre for global governance had received £300,000 of the donation from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, when Lord Woolf was appointed to head the independent external inquiry in March 2011. The LSE's commercial arm had also secured a contract worth £2.2m to train Libyan civil servants. Lord Woolf's remit was to look at how the LSE came to ignore warnings and risk its reputation by forging close links with the former Gaddafi regime. The institution's involvement with Libya caused embarrassment at the time of the Libyan uprising in February and led students there to stage a protest. Lord Woolf says LSE's links with Libya exposed it to a "significant degree of risk" which would have been missed, had the Gaddafi regime not collapsed. He says links between the LSE and Libya were allowed to grow unchecked, without due diligence assessments taking place. He describes what he calls a "chapter of failures" in the way the proposed donation was scrutinised by the LSE's council, saying that due diligence "remained at best embryonic". "The actual source of money gifted... was never established", the report says, and "Saif Gaddafi's word alone was relied upon." He also concludes that the timing of the donation, six weeks after Saif Gaddafi was awarded a PhD, was "unfortunate", "risky", "indicative of naivety at the LSE" and gave the impression that Saif had "purchased his degree". Lord Woolf says academics and staff acted in, what they perceived to be the best interests of the School, but the donation would not have been accepted if its source had been properly checked. He singles out Sir Howard Davies for criticism, concluding that "despite his great experience and ability, responsibility for what went wrong must rest with the [former] director." He also blames LSE administrators Fiona Kirk and Adrian Hall for their roles in the affair and the former head of the centre for global governance, Professor David Held, who was closely involved in supervising Saif Gaddafi's PhD work and in securing the donation. Professor Held announced he was leaving the LSE last month. The report also says that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi "duped" his academic supervisors by receiving extensive outside help in preparing his PhD thesis. It says he was admitted to study at the LSE's philosophy department in 2003 because of an "idealism factor" that he might improve Libya - even though he had already been rejected by other LSE departments on the basis that his academic standards were not sufficiently high. A separate University of London panel has been investigating allegations that Saif Gaddafi's PhD thesis might contain plagiarism or have been ghostwritten. That report is not being made public but BBC News understands that it will not recommend that Gaddafi be stripped of his LSE doctorate. Lord Woolf makes 15 recommendations in his report. These include setting up an ethics code to govern potential risks to the LSE's reputation and the installation of a new body to oversee the admission of postgraduate students and their studies. He also calls for new guidance on the amount of outside assistance a postgraduate student can receive and new policies on donations to the School. LSE director Professor Judith Rees said: "The publication of this report will help LSE move on from this unhappy chapter in its otherwise celebrated history. "It is consoling that Lord Woolf finds that no academic or other staff member at LSE acted other than in what they perceived to be the best interests of the School. "He also describes the work of LSE Enterprise in training Libyan professionals and civil servants as of merit. We will now work to take LSE forward, learning the lessons of the report and implementing Lord Woolf's recommendations." The next Irish parliament will be a divided one, with a definite split between left and right. On one side are the parties seen as part of the country's establishment. Coalition partners Fine Gael and the Labour Party have been punished by the people because they have felt the pain of years of austerity. Fine Gael find themselves in an awkward position - its vote has collapsed yet it is still the biggest party. That leaves its leader, Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny, with the responsibility of trying to form a government but without the power to do so. Fine Gael had hoped to continue with the current coalition but the Labour Party's vote collapsed. At a count centre in Dublin, Labour campaigners looked nothing short of shell-shocked. When the final candidate is elected it will show the most stable government would involve Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael working together. The idea of Ireland's two big parties in coalition is dismissed by some. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil share almost a century of rivalry, having emerged from this country's bitter civil war. Commentator after commentator has discussed the potential end of "civil war politics". And in the political world of 2016 it is fair to say the parties have much in common. But, many believe Fianna Fáil would sit uncomfortably as any kind of junior partner to Fine Gael, which it polled relatively shortly behind. Fianna Fáil's vote has recovered significantly after its collapse at the 2011 election, when people blamed them for the Republic of Ireland's economic crisis. But, it is still in second place, which is a disadvantage in any negotiation. There is another reason why both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil would be concerned about the prospect of a so-called "grand coalition". An alliance between those parties would make Sinn Féin the main opposition party. Like the anti-austerity and independent candidates whose support has risen with the public dissatisfaction with traditional politicians, Sinn Féin wants to keep its distance from the major parties. Again and again it has said it will not be a junior partner to either of the big two. For their part, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil spent much of the campaign insisting they would have nothing to do with the party that was once viewed as the political wing of the IRA. Sinn Féin might try to find alliances among the many left-of-centre candidates that have been elected. And there is the opportunity for all the parties to try to woo the new independents who have won seats. But would that make a stable government? It all leaves one simple question - can a coalition be formed? When I asked the Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams if he was prepared for the possibility that Ireland might have to return to the polls, he had a simple answer. "We are always on an election-footing". The copy of the 1559 Thomas Gemini anatomy book is going on display at a University of Cambridge exhibition. A triangular piece of a page depicting female genitals was removed by the book's original owner. Curator Shelley Hughes said it showed religion and superstition delayed understanding of the female anatomy. She said the book's owner was "disturbed by its depiction of a semi-dissected female torso". "The offending part, a neat triangle of paper on which the vagina would have been drawn, has been carefully cut away. "Sin and female flesh were held in close association in 16th Century society with naked women often portrayed as the servants of Satan." The book will be displayed at St John's College on Saturday 25 March as part of an exhibition called Under The Knife At St John's: A Medical History Of Disease And Dissection. The 16th Century was a time of medical revolution with scientists improving their understanding of the body from human dissections. The exhibition shows how knowledge of the body's structure emerged as the power of superstition and religion weakened. Normally men attending the horse racing event in the Royal Enclosure must wear black or grey morning dress with a waistcoat, tie and a top hat. Women in the Royal Enclosure must not expose their shoulders. Nick Smith of Ascot Racecourse said the jackets rule had not been enforced after entry due to the hot weather. He said: "We took the decision early in the day, in the light of the hot weather, not to enforce the jackets rule after entry - common sense was applied." The dress code at Ascot Racecourse's Royal Enclosure involves a number of restrictions for men and women. Dresses must not be strapless, off the shoulder, halter-neck, spaghetti straps and or have straps narrower than 1in (2.5cm) in the exclusive area. This year women were permitted to wear jumpsuits for the first time, as long as they reached to the ankle. More on Royal Ascot 2017 from BBC Sport However, midriff-baring outfits or fascinators are still not allowed in the exclusive area. An Ascot spokeswoman said a relaxation of the dress code had "never happened before". As temperatures soared at Royal Ascot today, race-goers tried to stay cool with sunglasses, parasols and fans. Horses have been cooled down with "misters" after racing in the Unsaddling Enclosure Up to 300,000 people are due to descend on the event over the next five days. The Queen has attended Royal Ascot every year since she came to the throne in 1952. PCSO Gary Etchells was attacked by a man armed with a carving knife at a flat in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, in 2006. It pierced his carotid artery and permanently damaged a vocal chord. The 57-year-old, from Hollingworth, has been honoured for his services to the Greater Manchester community. The father-of-three said: "I've had lots of highs and some lows in my job over the last 13 years but I wouldn't change a thing. "I love helping people and being out and about in the community. "I am absolutely honoured to receive an MBE and I'm so shocked that I've been chosen. It's not really sunk in." Mr Etchells will attend a presentation ceremony at Buckingham Palace later this year. The call comes after researchers linked suffering repeated concussions from playing sport with memory loss, depression and early dementia. Dr Barry O'Driscoll wants mandatory concussion awareness training for all grassroots rugby coaches and players. He quit his IRB job claiming the body trivialised concussion. It denies this. It is widely accepted the game of rugby has changed dramatically over the years, a change that has made suffering injuries like concussion more prevalent. Dr Gareth Jones, Cardiff Blues team doctor, said: "It used to be called a contact sport, but it's now a collision sport. "The guys are getting bigger, they're getting stronger, the impact forces are huge, and certainly there's been a change even at the younger age groups. "Inevitably, the collisions are getting greater and greater as this goes on, resulting in increased numbers of injuries." Every four years an international conference takes place to discuss concussion in sport. The last meeting was in Zurich in 2012 and a consensus statement was agreed which lays out best practice. The IRB is a signatory to this statement and says its concussion strategies are based on it. He said his call was directed at the unions in Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) does not have mandatory training on concussion for grassroots coaches or referees. Dr O'Driscoll told BBC Wales: "At the grassroots level - so all the way through - I would like to see a mandatory training as part of coaching courses [and] as part of schools lessons with young rugby players. "They don't need to be experts on brain surgery. What they need to do is get across a) the signs and symptoms and b) what to do." The WRU said it is committed to ensuring that player welfare is at the forefront of any decision making, and that it followed the guidelines set by the IRB. It also said it is looking at devising a nationwide education programme for all levels of the game. In England the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said it is an issue that is taken "seriously". "This year we have distributed 200,000 'Headcase' cards to the game giving advice on recognising concussion and stressing the 'if in doubt, sit it out' message. "Online resources include dedicated area of rfu.com gives advice for players, parents, teachers, coaches, medics and other volunteers. "Since 2008 around 35,000 English coaches have taken the IRB's Rugby Ready course which includes a concussion element." The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) said: "The IRFU observe all international best practices, as set out by the International Rugby Board. "We have in place and continue to develop education and training campaigns to ensure player welfare is prioritised at all times." A call for concussion awareness in schools has also been made by the father of a 14-year-old boy from Northern Ireland who died two years ago after playing a match for his school team. Ben Robinson was knocked unconscious and suffered from concussion after several high-impact collisions during the game but he was allowed to carry on playing. He collapsed again just before the end of the game and later died in hospital. His father Peter said he would still be alive if he had been taken off the pitch. "At the start of the second half he was involved in a heavy tackle and he lay on the ground for a minute-and-a-half being treated," he said. "He was assisted to his feet... his body language looked like an old man when he was walking around but he kept being involved in heavy tackles. "It's ironic to think if he'd had a blood injury he'd have been taken off and he would be here today." Mr Robinson is pressing for concussion awareness to be taught in schools across the UK. "We've had our fair share of head injuries over the years as I'm sure is the case with all clubs. "We're in a lucky situation with qualified therapists etc, but at the grassroots level not everybody can manage that. "We're in Division One but as you go down the divisions people these days sometimes find it hard to find a coach, let alone a therapist or a doctor, to attend on a Saturday. "In that case, I think it's important that coaches or committee members or physios have training, particularly when it comes to head injuries which can have such a devastating effect." And next month he will meet Welsh Education Minister Huw Lewis to discuss bringing the idea to Wales, having already met Scotland and Northern Ireland's ministers. "I've played rugby down the years - I don't want to change the game of rugby I just want to make it safer," Mr Robinson added. "Have all the physicality you want, just make sure at grass roots level it's a safe playing environment for the children. "We just want to make sure that it doesn't happen again and that we can educate people and maybe that helps numb the pain in some way." The IRB said its approach to the issue was driven by evidence-based expert research. "Concussion management is at the very heart of the IRB's player welfare strategy designed to protect players at all levels of the game and promote the very highest standards of education, coaching and medical care," a spokesperson said. Mr Donaldson will meet the site's owners INTU later this week. He says the new application could include a hotel along with the department store. The additional shops were one of the controversial aspects of the former planning application. It was withdrawn in 2013. Mr Donaldson says the new application will be made later this year. Last week, the High Court ruled that Environment Minister Mark Durkan had no legal power to approve a new planning blueprint for Greater Belfast without consent from his Executive colleagues. Mr Donaldson said the ruling paved the way forward for fresh proposals for John Lewis. One of the contentious aspects of BMAP (the Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan) restricted the future expansion of Sprucefield to bulky goods only. That appeared to be a major obstacle to a retail type store such as John Lewis. But, with the High Court having ruled on Friday that BMAP was unlawfully adopted by Mark Durkan, an obstacle appears to have been removed and a new planning application is probable. This has been going on for more than 10 years. It has not really been about a John Lewis store per se, but additional new retail units going in alongside it. Back in 2009, we were talking about 19 other units, before then it had been even more than that. The fear and the source of much of the objection historically was that such a retail development would wreck town centre business in places like Lisburn. So it became an argument about out of town shopping centres, with Belfast and Banbridge all weighing in to object when the issue was raised at a planning inquiry. "The owner of Sprucefield Parks has been waiting for this moment when the High Court would rule on this application by First Minister Arlene Foster," Mr Donaldson told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster on Monday. "Arlene [Foster] has been successful in her application to have the decision of the environment minister ruled unlawful. I believe that will pave the way for this process to move forward. "I will be meeting with the development team in London this week to discuss the next steps and I believe we will see a planning application coming forward in the near future. "I am confident that will include a proposal for a John Lewis store at Sprucefield." Nourane Houas was flown to Oman after being freed on Monday, the ICRC said. Oman said her release had been secured at the request of the French authorities and "in co-ordination with Yemeni parties" whom it did not name. Ms Houas was seized by armed men on her way to work in the capital Sanaa, which is controlled by Houthi rebels. She was travelling with a colleague when their car was intercepted, but her colleague was released unharmed a few hours later. No group has said it was behind the abduction, and the ICRC has said it will not comment on the identity of the armed men who seized her, their motives or the details of her release. "We are relieved and thankful that Nourane is now back with us, safe and sound," said the ICRC head of delegation in Yemen, Alexandre Faite. "Her abduction was a terrible ordeal for her, as well as for her family, friends and colleagues. And it has obviously dealt a real blow to our humanitarian work." After landing in Muscat on an Omani air force flight, Ms Houas thanked "the sultanate, without which [her] release would not have happened", according to the official ONA news agency. French President Francois Hollande praised her "courage during her long detention", adding that he "shares in her family's joy" over her release. He also "expressed his gratitude to all those who allowed for a happy ending to this ordeal", notably Oman's Sultan Qaboos. Oman declined to join the Saudi-led coalition that launched a military campaign in Yemen in March 2015 after the Houthis took full control of Sanaa and forced the country's government into exile, and has mediated between the warring parties. The United Nations estimates that at least 3,800 civilians have been killed and 6,700 others injured in the fighting, while three million others have been displaced. Media playback is unsupported on your device 22 August 2015 Last updated at 12:18 BST After a pregnancy lasting 22 months, Thi Hi Way, a 34-year-old Asian elephant at the zoo, gave birth to the female on Thursday afternoon. Zookeepers said the calf, which is yet to be named, was on its feet within three minutes and is doing well. Rangers, promoted last season, lie a point behind leaders Celtic having played a game more ahead of Saturday's first Old Firm game of the campaign. "Rangers are OK at the moment," said McCoist, who led them to two promotions between 2011 and 2014. "The building process is still quietly in operation. I think it is still going to be two or three years." McCoist was manager when the Govan club entered administration and then liquidation in 2012 before re-emerging in the bottom tier of Scottish football. "I was never of the opinion that Rangers were going to come in and set the place on fire and win the league by some considerable distance," he said of the side now managed by Mark Warburton. "What we are seeing from Rangers at this moment is what I expected it to be. "There will be games where things don't go their way. Obviously the standard of opposition is better than it has been in the last few years, so they are finding their feet. "There has been some good performances, one or two average performances." McCloist acknowledged that fans of the Ibrox club will be demanding early success. "I know what Rangers fans and Celtic fans are like," he said. "As fanatical as they are in their support of the team, they are not the most patient and some of them perhaps are not the most realistic. "Rangers and, indeed, Celtic have improvement in them, particularly Rangers, if they want to challenge for the title and cups on a regular basis and get back on to the European scene." McCoist believes Rangers can take encouragement from last season's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic, albeit in a penalty shootout. "Celtic will go into the game strong favourites, but they went into the last game strong favourites and didn't win," said the former Scotland striker. "Rangers played exceptionally well. "I thought Celtic had good chances to score, but I thought Rangers were far and away the better footballing team that day and they must take heart from that because they passed the ball as well as I have seen them pass it in a long time and they will be looking for a similar performance. "But the game being at Celtic Park will be a big difference. "The home support will be in the vast majority and hopefully the Rangers players will handle that OK." Pippa Funnell and Billy The Biz will replace Taylor, while Tina Cook is called up as travelling reserve. William Fox-Pitt, Kitty King and Gemma Tattersall complete the team for Rio. "I'm really gutted and sorry for the owners and my support team." said Taylor. "I wish Pip and all the team the best of luck out in Rio." Three-time Olympic medallist Funnell, 47, said she was "devastated" for Taylor, but added that she felt "privileged and honoured to be part of the team". Funnell has previously won medals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and in Athens four years later. After originally being appointed second reserve, Cook told the BBC that she was disappointed not to have been selected for the team. Squad: Eventing: William Fox-Pitt, Kitty King, Gemma Tattersall, Pippa Funnell MBE Dressage: Fiona Bigwood, Charlotte Dujardin OBE, Carl Hester MBE, Spencer Wilton Jumping: Ben Maher MBE, Nick Skelton OBE, John Whitaker MBE, Michael Whitaker The ivory, confiscated in New York and Philadelphia, was sent up a conveyor belt into a rock crusher. The Wildlife Conservation Society says the global ivory trade leads to the slaughter of up to 35,000 elephants a year in Africa. Actress and activist Kristin Davis warned people not to buy an ivory. "Animals are being slaughtered every 15 minutes and it's a very gruesome death. We are going to lose elephants in 10 years if we don't do something," the Sex in the City actress said. Wildlife Conservation Society spokesman John Calvelli said: "This is an illegal product and we feel that burning it or destroying it gets it out of commercial use and, therefore, there's less of a chance for it to find its way into the marketplace." The ivory was displayed on a table and placed on the belt before being ground into dust. Sally Jewell, secretary of the Department of the Interior, said: "Today's ivory crush will serve as a stark reminder to the rest of the world that the United States will not tolerate wildlife crimes." Much of the ivory was confiscated from Philadelphia antiques dealer Victor Gordon, who was jailed for two and a half years in 2014. The boy severed an artery on a plate glass window in County Antrim in 2011, suffering life changing injuries. His mother complained to the Ombudsman's office several years later. She alleged police had failed to properly investigate if her son had been deliberately pushed. An initial 999 call made by one of five friends, who were with the teenager at the time, indicated that he had been pushed through the window. However a second 999 call, made several minutes later, reported that he had kicked it. The teenager's mother told the Ombudsman that the police investigation had been closed down after two week, despite her being told that her son had denied kicking the window and had a memory of being pushed. She also alleged that police had failed to ensure her son's phone was properly examined, and that officers may have missed evidence. When interviewed, the investigating police officer accepted that the case had been quickly suspended pending new evidence. However, he said he had done so only after making a series, after which he was satisfied no further investigation was needed. The officer also told the Ombudsman's investigation that the only indication the teenager had been pushed was the initial 999 call. He added that the friend who made the call had explained that the injured boy did not want to get into trouble for kicking the window and had asked him to say he was pushed. However the Police Ombudsman's investigation found a number of issues with how the officer dealt with the case. It said there was a "limited examination of text messages" exchanged between the boys who had been at the scene. The investigation also found that photographs of the scene were lost and that there was no forensic examination of the window to establish whether the damage caused was consistent with the boy having been pushed through it,. The officer's supervisor was also found to have not properly supervised the investigation. The Ombudsman found no evidence that the police investigation had been compromised as a result of links between police officers and the families of two of the boys who had been at the scene. The PSNI has since implemented the Ombudsman's recommendation that the investigating officer and his supervisor should both be disciplined for their handling of the case. We could hardly claim to know the complexity of the planetary systems that lie beyond the asteroid belt, the chronology of the early Solar System, or the wide range of extraterrestrial environments where biological processes might be at work, were it not for the many exploratory expeditions that we have mounted to these far-flung worlds. But perhaps, above all, the greatest, most profound legacy of the quest we have undertaken to understand our origins is perspective... that crystalline, uncorrupted view of our cosmic place that erodes all delusion and confronts us with a powerful recognition of ourselves - a recognition that never fails to move us. It is surely for this reason that of all the millions of images taken of the worlds in our Solar System since the beginning of the space age, those that reach deeper into the human heart than any other, are those of our own home, as it might be seen in the skies of other worlds: small, alone in the blackness of never-ending space and awash in the blue of its blue, blue oceans. Cassini's first offering to this collection, taken in September 2006 when the spacecraft was placed, for scientific purposes, at significant remove in the shadow of Saturn, has become one of our most beloved images. This is an image that draws gasps from anyone seeing it for the first time. Small wonder: in it, we behold something human eyes had never before seen - a backlit view of the full resplendent glory of Saturn's rings during an eclipse of the Sun, the smoky blue ring created by the exhalations of the small moon, Enceladus, and - best of all - a sight of our planet, Earth, a billion miles in the distance. This is an image without peer, an image that can make one weep with joy, love, concern, an abiding sense of fellowship, and unspeakable awe. As I have contemplated the inevitable and approaching end of our history-making travels through the Saturn system, I have longed to repeat that remarkable image, make it even better, and turn it into something very special. I imagined making it an opportunity for all of us to appreciate how far we have come in the exploration of our cosmic neighbourhood and to celebrate the uniqueness of our lush, life-sustaining world and the preciousness of the life on it. I wanted to repeat that image, only this time, tell all the world about it in advance. Proclaim it to everyone everywhere: "On this day, at this time, you, the Earth and everybody on it will have their picture taken ... from a billion miles away!" This could be a day, I thought, when all the inhabitants of Earth, in unison, could issue a full-throated, cosmic shout-out and smile a big one for the cameras far, far away. And so it will be. On 19 July 2013, the Cassini cameras will be turned to image Saturn and its entire ring system during the planet's eclipse of the Sun. In the lower right, among the outer diffuse rings that encircle Saturn, will be a small speck of blue light with all of us on it. A mosaic of images covering the rings from one end to the other, some taken in those filters that are used to make a natural colour scene - that looks like what human eyes would see - will be taken at this time. Also to be recorded: an image of the highest resolution that we are capable of taking, in which we will find Earth and its Moon. One will be a colourless, star-like point of light. The other, of course, will be a pale blue dot. So, at the appointed time, straighten up, brush your hair, go outside, gather with friends and family, think a thought or two about the starkness of our whereabouts, the beauty of our home planet, the marvel of our existence, and the magnificence of our accomplishments. And then, look up and smile.

The average Dutchman is now 183cm (6ft) tall, while the average Latvian woman reaches 170cm (5ft 7in). The research, published in the journal eLife, has tracked growth trends in 187 countries since 1914. It finds Iranian men and South Korean women have had the biggest spurts, increasing their height by an average of more than 16cm (6in) and 20cm (8in). Life for the tallest and shortest In the UK, the sexes have gone up virtually in parallel by about 11cm (4in). "Mr Average" in Britain is now 178cm (5ft 10in) tall; Ms Average stands at 164cm (5ft 5in). This contrasts for example with men and women in the US, where the height of the nation's people started to plateau in the 1960s and 1970s. Over the century, they have seen increases of just 6cm and 5cm (a couple of inches), respectively. Indeed, Americans have tumbled down the rankings. Back in 1914, they had the third tallest men and fourth tallest women on the planet. Today they are in 37th and 42nd place. The height charts are now utterly dominated by European countries, but the data would suggest that growth trends in general in the West have largely levelled out. The smallest men on the planet are to be found in East Timor (160cm; 5ft 3in). The world's smallest women are in Guatemala, a status they also held back in 1914. According to the survey data, a century ago the average Guatemalan 18-year-old female was 140cm (4ft 7in). Today she has still not quite reached 150cm (4ft 11in). East Asia has seen some of the biggest increases. People in Japan, China and South Korea are much taller than they were 100 years ago. "The parts of the world where people haven't got particularly taller over this 100 years of analysis are in South Asia (such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and in sub-Saharan Africa. Here the increase in height is between 1-6cm in those regions," explained co-author James Bentham from Imperial College London. In fact, in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, average heights have actually fallen since the 1970s. Nations like Uganda and Sierra Leone have seen a few centimetres come off the height of the average man. Some of the variation in height across the globe can be explained by genetics, but the study's authors say our DNA cannot be the dominant factor. Lead scientist Majid Ezzati, also from Imperial, told BBC News: "About a third of the explanation could be genes, but that doesn't explain the change over time. Genes don't change that fast and they don't vary that much across the world. So changes over time and variations across the world are largely environmental. That's at the whole population level versus for any individual whose genes clearly matter a lot." Good standards of healthcare, sanitation, and nutrition were the key drivers, he said. Also important is the mother's health and nutrition during pregnancy. Other research has shown that height is correlated with both positive outcomes and a few negative ones. Tall people tend to have a longer life expectancy, with a reduced risk of heart disease. On the other hand, there is some evidence that they are at greater risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal, postmenopausal breast and ovarian cancers. "One hypothesis is that growth factors may promote mutated cells," said another Imperial co-author, Elio Riboli. The eLife paper - A Century of Trends in Adult Human Height - was put together by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, a group of 800 or so scientists, in association with the World Health Organization. The work, which was funded by the Wellcome Trust and Grand Challenges Canada, was presented here in Manchester at the biennial EuroScience Open Forum. The nations with the tallest men in 2014 (1914 ranking in brackets): The nations with the tallest women in 2014 (1914 ranking in brackets): S&P said the the referendum result could lead to "a deterioration of the UK's economic performance, including its large financial services sector". Rival agency Fitch lowered its rating from AA+ to AA, forecasting an "abrupt slowdown" in growth in the short-term. The moves come after Chancellor George Osborne said the UK will face the future "from a position of strength". Speaking earlier, in an attempt to restore calm to the markets, the chancellor said the economy would need to "adjust" but was strong enough to cope. S&P had been the only major agency to maintain a AAA rating for the UK. It has now cut its rating by two notches to AA. On Friday, Moody's cut the UK's credit rating outlook to negative. A rating downgrade can affect how much it costs governments to borrow money in the international financial markets. In theory, a high credit rating means a lower interest rate (and vice versa). S&P said that the leave result would "weaken the predictability, stability, and effectiveness of policymaking in the UK". Other things being equal, a downgrade can mean higher borrowing costs. But this time other things are not equal at all. Since the event which led to the downgrade - the referendum - those costs have gone down. The risk associated with UK government debt or bonds might in some sense be a little higher than before, but they are still seen as a safe investment compared with other assets. In a situation where investors have become more reluctant to hold risky assets they buy safer ones including government bonds and that tends to lower the interest rate the government has to pay when it next goes to the market to borrow. And then there is the increased chance that the Bank of England will reduce its own interest rates because of concerns about the economic impact of Brexit. That tends to push government borrowing costs in the same direction. Fitch expects an abrupt slowdown in UK growth in the short term. But it also warned that medium term growth is likely to be weaker "due to less favourable terms for exports to the EU, lower immigration and a reduction in foreign direct investment". S&P also warned that it expected the UK economic growth to be hit by the outcome of the vote. It said that there was a risk of "a constitutional crisis" if the referendum's outcome leads to a second referendum on Scottish independence from the UK. "We take the view that the deep divisions both within the ruling Conservative Party and society as a whole over the european question may not heal quickly and may hamper government stability and complicate policymaking on economic and other matters," it said. S&P also warned uncertainty on key issues about the UK's exit from the EU would hurt investor confidence and put vital external investment "at risk". Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking earlier in the Commons said negotiating an exit from the European Union would be the civil service's most complex and important task for decades. Mr Cameron, who has said he will step down by October, also told MPs he did not take back the warnings he made during the campaign about the consequences of leaving the EU, saying it would be "difficult" with "challenging new negotiations" ahead. Meanwhile, Germany, France and Italy have said they will not hold informal talks with the UK until it triggers the official Article 50 mechanism notifying the rest of EU of its intention to leave. Advertising data firm Semrush analysed 25,000 pages for the study. It looked at 1,000 results for 25 search terms including laptop, watches, speakers and smoke detectors on Google. Products sold by Google's parent firm Alphabet dominated the top of the results. Google said it had strict rules for buying its advertising space. A spokesman said that the firm's marketing policies were "consciously and carefully designed" so as not to intervene with ad pricing. "All our bids are excluded from the auction when determining the price paid by other advertisers and we have strict rules and processes - set to tougher levels than our customers - to govern the use of our own ads products," he said. The Wall Street Journal reported that in all 1,000 searches for the term "laptop" in the study, the top result was for Google's Chromebook. Additionally 98% of searches for "watches" resulted in links to Android smartwatch retailers appearing on top. Android and Chromebook are both owned by Alphabet. It also noted that alarm products by another Alphabet firm, Nest, featured highly in searches for smoke detectors. The paper added that after sharing the results with Google many of the ads disappeared - and a BBC test found that other brands including Apple, Lenovo and Apollo now appear to dominate the top of results pages for these terms. In July 2016 the European Commission alleged that Google had abused its dominance in internet shopping and restricted competition - which the firm denied. "We think when we look at the screen that Google is placing its ads above others but advertising doesn't work in that way," said Daniel Knapp, senior analyst at IHS. "It may be that Google is willing to pay more than others or that it has better targeting data for identifying users. The method of the [Wall Street Journal] experiment may also be flawed." The advertising auctions are automated and run by algorithms, he added. "We live in an algorithmic world. How are these algorithms making decisions on our behalf and how is that distorting markets and society in general?" he said. "This is an example of a much bigger underlying issue."

Fifteen kilograms of the drug were discovered in a haulage vehicle that had just arrived at Dublin Port from the UK. It followed a joint operation between the Revenue Commissioners Customs Service and the police. A 36-year-old man was arrested and has been charged with drug trafficking offences. He remains in custody and will appear in a Dublin court on Monday morning.

Cocaine with an estimated street value of more than 1m euros has been seized in Dublin.

The ship, with 205 containers on board, is now being searched, Mombasa Police Chief Francis Wanjohi told the BBC. Elite Kenyan police units, including members of the narcotics squad, launched a surprise raid at midnight local time (21:00 GMT Thursday), sealing off all entrances to the port. The main entrance to the port has now been reopened. The berth holding the cargo ship, which had sailed from the Indian port of Mumbai, is still closed off. Last month, Kenyan authorities blew up a yacht off the coast of Mombasa, after heroin worth $290,000 (£185,000) was found on board. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime has on several occasions cited Kenya as a transit point for the re-packaging and trans-shipment of drugs to Europe and America.

Kenyan authorities have seized a cargo ship suspected to be carrying drugs at the port of Mombasa, police say.

An independent panel upheld the decision to suspend Barba at Wednesday's operational rules tribunal. The 28-year-old full-back, who tested positive for cocaine while still a Cronulla player last year, will not be eligible to play until late August. Barba joined Saints on 24 May after a stint playing rugby union in France. His cross-code move to France proved a contentious one, as it meant he escaped being sanctioned because the ban only applied to rugby league. On Barba's return to rugby league with Saints, the RFL - who govern the Super League - sought clarity from the NRL about whether the ban was applicable outside the southern hemisphere competition. St Helens signed Barba, who was the NRL's player of the year in 2012 and is contracted until 2019, with knowledge of his possible ban, and chairman Eamonn McManus last week criticised the time taken for their appeal to be heard. He has already served five matches of his 12-game ban and will be available for selection as of Monday, 28 August. Beaumaris Castle on Anglesey was built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries but never finished. Now visitors can tour the castle using an interactive app which shows how the finished product would have looked. It follows a £170,000 investment by the Welsh Government's historic environment service CADW. Other site improvements include audio-visual displays, new signage and the addition of a family trail. Ken Skates, cabinet secretary for economy and infrastructure, said: "Along with Harlech, Conwy and Caernarfon castles, Beaumaris Castle forms one of Wales's only three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so it's crucial that we continue to strengthen its visitor experience to attract visitors from Wales and beyond." Many of those at the free concert were lifelong fans who for years had to keep quiet about their love of the Stones and other groups. Mick Jagger welcomed fans in Spanish before opening the performance with the 1968 hit Jumpin' Jack Flash. The concert comes days after a historic visit by US President Barack Obama. Tens of thousands of Cubans queued for hours to get into the grounds of Havana's huge 450,000-capacity Ciudad Deportiva venue. "Hello, Havana. Good evening, my people of Cuba," said Jagger before beginning the eagerly awaited performance. The band swept through 18 songs in a two-hour gig, including Sympathy for the Devil and Satisfaction. The gig is being seen as another sign of real change on the island. Until about 15 years ago Cuba's communist government banned most Western rock and pop music, which was deemed decadent and subversive. But Cuba has changed significantly in recent years, particularly in the past 18 months as the process of rapprochement with the United States has quickened, says the BBC's Will Grant in Havana. Fans travelled from many parts of Cuba and other countries to witness what some described as a historic moment. "It was forbidden. We couldn't have the Beatles or some singers from Latin America. Now we are allowed to hear what we want to hear," a fan told the BBC. "The visit from Obama [earlier this week], and now the Rolling Stones. It's just unique and historic. So, yeah, nice to be here," said another one. "After today I can die," Joaquin Ortiz, a 62-year-old night watchman, told the Associated Press. "This is like my last wish, seeing the Rolling Stones." The Rolling Stones released a short video saying their concert was a sign of change in Cuba. "Time changes everything. So we're very pleased to be here," said Mick Jagger. "It would have been surprising for this to happen 10 years ago." Cuban authorities said they expected at least half a million people to watch the British band's first concert in Cuba.

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction Britain's Mirror newspaper has reported that the concert went ahead despite a request from Pope Francis that it be halted because it fell on Good Friday. The paper said the Vatican had suggested the band could start after midnight. It quoted a "tour insider" as saying: "The band's team were flabbergasted when the Vatican got in touch by letter - couldn't believe their eyes. "Much as they didn't want to upset the Pope, they had a contract to play and were going to honour it." Some athletes, like Tosin Oke, feel the lack of medals reflects a lack of support from the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN). The triple jumper alleges discrimination and the holding back of training funds from the AFN. He also feels let down by the IAAF, after complaining to athletics' governing body about his concerns. Oke, 36, is the reigning African champion in triple jump. Having competed for Great Britain as a youngster - winning a European junior title - he switched to compete for his parents' homeland after not being selected for the 2007 World Championships. Since then, he has won three African titles: two gold medals at the All Africa Games (the "African Olympics") and another gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. At the 2012 Olympics, Oke was Nigeria's best performing individual athlete - finishing seventh in the final. Nonetheless, he says he has suffered repeated discrimination at the hands of Nigerian sports authorities, which he believes stems from his public criticisms of their work. After winning at the 2015 All Africa Games (AAG), Oke wrote to the director-general of the National Sports Commission, the body then responsible for overseeing sport in Nigeria. In his email to Alhassan Yakmut, the athlete outlined the funds he desired to support an attempt to go for a field medal at the 2016 Olympics - a feat which no Nigerian man has ever achieved. "Well received. Sorry your refusal to take a lap of honour at the AAG has ruled you out of Rio. Yakmut," came the reply. A baffled Oke duly sent through pictures of his victory lap but failed to win over Yakmut, who chastised him for looking "emotionless". Two weeks later, Oke learned that his name had not been put forward by Nigerian officials for an Olympic Solidarity Scholarship training grant provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). "We do not know the criteria used by the IOC," Solomon Ogba, then president of the AFN but now a board member, had told him in March 2015 when Oke had queried his absence. "The selection was not done by us. What [we] did was send all the names to them," added Ogba, a vice-president of Nigeria's National Olympic Committee (NOC). Concerned by the tone of Yakmut's mail, Oke wrote to the IOC to ask why it had rejected his application. "Your name was not included in the list of scholarship requests we received from your NOC," came the IOC reply. When contacted by the BBC about the discrepancy between their versions of events, Ogba said: "Athletes were asked to fill the forms which the NOC processed and sent to the IOC. Not all those - to the best of my knowledge - who filled the forms got the scholarship." Despite lacking training funds, Oke did make it to Rio - after buying an expensive flight to Brazil at late notice when the AFN told him the government had not released funds on time. Told he would be refunded for his fare in Brazil, Oke realised this would not be the case upon arrival in Rio, so he spent the run-up to his event trying to secure his money, which equated to two months' salary. "At this point my mind was definitely not on competing, it was on 'this is a huge amount'," he said. Unlike 2012, Oke failed to reach the final. He says he is still owed for a third of his flight fare. The government says all flight fares have been paid in full. Nigerian-born athletes hold the fastest 100m times on three different continents: Oke says he has repeatedly failed to receive significant funds due to him from Nigerian officials - primarily for training grants. Originating from the Nigerian government, the funds must pass through the AFN before reaching the athletes. While saying he did receive some grants, Oke claims he was deprived of at least $146,500 (£112,923) more by the AFN between 2010 and 2015. Ogba rejects the allegations. "The best thing is for him to petition the government who he claimed released money to the AFN," he told BBC Sport. "As a matter of fact, most of the monies he claimed to have received were my personal assistance to him and other athletes." When contacted by the BBC, the Nigerian government declined to comment on this matter. In December 2015, Oke sent a 10-page statement to the IAAF in which he outlined his allegations of funds being withheld from athletes as well as other claims about lax doping controls and mismanagement - all of which he largely blamed on then-AFN president Ogba. Ogba denies the allegations. In his letter, Oke also hoped that its recipient - IAAF President Lord Coe - would find his "experiences serious enough to ask the right questions of the characters running the federation". The IAAF responded to Oke's letter by sending a representative to meet the athlete, Ogba and the AFN's general secretary in March 2016. "Having spent time with both Mr Oke and his federation [president and general secretary], the IAAF representative left reassured that the other issues canvassed by Mr Oke would be resolved between them," Huw Roberts, the IAAF's Legal Counsel, told BBC Sport. The IAAF did not confirm whether or not its representative had brought up the denial of funds at the meeting. Oke feels the IAAF effectively asked the AFN to investigate itself. Oke had also told the IAAF how he had witnessed insufficient doping controls in Nigeria. "This year [2015], I saw an athlete enter the doping room claiming to be another athlete," he wrote. "As ID is not asked for/checked, anything is possible." The IAAF says that according to its representative, the issue was not raised in March 2016 when he met both Oke and Ogba. Oke maintains he did discuss wider concerns over doping in Nigeria with the representative, even if he did not directly address the matter above. "The AFN, under my leadership, fought doping violations with every vigour we could muster," Ogba told BBC Sport. Oke was not originally set to compete at the 2017 World Championships in London. As an area champion, he was qualified to do so but the AFN did not put his name forward on time. "It was the duty of your National Federation to submit your entry in due course," the IAAF told Oke. "At this late stage, with entry lists being already published, I am afraid there is nothing we can do." When the BBC asked the IAAF about Oke's letter of 2015 and its various allegations, the initial response that came back two working days later largely dealt with the athlete's selection issues with Nigeria. It also revealed that the Nigerian had now been included in the World Championships - just six days before the event began. The IAAF told Oke this was due to "exceptional" circumstances. Oke, who says he had stopped training in the run-up since he was not expecting to be involved, finished in 25th place. Despite his experiences, the athlete still hopes to compete for Nigeria at next year's Commonwealth Games. He is not the only athlete to be frustrated by the way in which Nigerian athletics is run, with several having switched nationality to compete for other countries in recent years. Since the BBC wrote to the IAAF, the body's Athletics Integrity Unit - which became operational in April - has invited Oke to re-submit his claims. Roedd y gwleidydd Sinn Féin wedi bod yn dioddef o gyflwr prin ar y galon. Aeth Mr McGuinness o fod yn arweinydd ar yr IRA i gymodi, a chwaraeodd ran flaenllaw yn llywodraeth ddatganoledig Gogledd Iwerddon yn dilyn Cytundeb Gwener y Groglith 1998. Yn ei deyrnged iddo, dywedodd Prif Weinidog Cymru, Carwyn Jones: "Chwaraeodd Martin ran hanfodol mewn dod â heddwch i Ogledd Iwerddon. "Gweithiais yn agos ag ef am sawl blwyddyn ar Gynghorau Prydain ac Iwerddon, Cynghorau Cydweinidogol a thu hwnt. "Pan siaradai, roedd pobl yn gwrando. Mae'r presenoldeb hwnnw'n esbonio llawer am sut llwyddodd i godi pontydd dros wahaniaethau gwleidyddol. Mae fy meddyliau gyda'i deulu a'i ffrindiau heddiw." Fe wnaeth arweinydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, Andrew RT Davies, gydnabod cyfraniad Mr McGuinness i'r broses heddwch, ond ychwanegodd y bod yn rhaid cofio am y rhai fu farw yn ystod y trais yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. "Chwaraeodd Martin McGuinness ran allweddol i ddod â'r Troubles i ben, ond i nifer llawer rhy niferus o deuluoedd yng Ngogledd Iwerddon, ac ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig, bydd yr holl glodfori'r bore 'ma yn ormod," meddai. Daeth Mr McGuinness yn ddirprwy brif weinidog ar Ogledd Iwerddon yn 2007, gan gydweithio gydag arweinwyr plaid unoliaethol y DUP, Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson ac Arlene Foster. Dirprwy brif weinidog Cymru ar yr un cyfnod oedd Ieuan Wyn Jones, a dywedodd wrth raglen Post Cyntaf Radio Cymru ei fod wedi cwrdd â Mr McGuinness am y tro cyntaf yn 2007. "Dyna lle o'n i'n cael fy nghyfarch yn Stormont gan Martin McGuinness ac Ian Paisley, oedd yn brofiad eithaf diddorol ar y pryd," meddai. "Roedd llywodraeth ddatganoledig Gogledd Iwerddon newydd ddod yn ôl yn 2007 felly roedd o'n brofiad eithaf newydd iddyn nhw ac i mi. "Ges i brofiad o fynd i gael sgwrs gyda Martin McGuinness sawl tro wedyn yn ystod y pedair blynedd o'n i yn y swydd. "Roedd o'n gymeriad hawddgar iawn. Roedd ganddo fo'r cefndir o fod yn gefnogol i'r IRA, ond doeddech chi ddim yn ymwybodol o hynny o'i ymarweddiad. "Roedd o'n hynod o hoffus, yn hawdd iawn i siarad ag o." Dywedodd Mr Wyn Jones bod Mr McGuinness wastad wedi dangos diddordeb yn yr iaith Gymraeg, a hynny am ei fod yn gobeithio gweld datblygiad Gaeleg yng Ngogledd Iwerddon. "Oherwydd bod y ddau ohonom yn ddirprwy brif weinidogion, oedden ni'n tueddu i eistedd wrth ein gilydd mewn ciniawau a chynadleddau ac yn y blaen, felly ges i gyfle i gael sawl sgwrs hynod o ddifyr efo fo ynglŷn â gwleidyddiaeth," meddai Mr Wyn Jones. "Un maes oedd ganddo fo ddiddordeb mawr ynddi oedd y Gymraeg a Gaeleg, a sefyllfa'r ddwy o ran y gyfraith. "Roedd o'n ein holi ni'n aml ynglŷn â pha fath o fesurau deddfwriaethol y bydden ni'n bwriadu eu gwneud i gryfhau'r Gymraeg, ac wrth gwrs, roedden nhw'n ei chael yn llawer iawn anoddach yng Ngogledd Iwerddon oherwydd bod yr unoliaethwyr yn gwrthod cyflwyno unrhyw fesur fyddai'n cryfhau'r iaith Aeleg yno." Last month the government lost a Freedom of Information battle to keep its transitional risk register secret. In a full ruling published on Thursday, the tribunal says why it believes the TRR should be published within 30 days. The government, which can still appeal to an "upper tribunal", says it is examining the judgement. Ministers had argued that to publish the register could have a "chilling effect" on how frank civil servants would be with them about risks in future. The decision was made days after the tribunal hearing last month, but the government has been waiting for the reasons behind it to be published in full before deciding on its next steps. In the meantime the controversial Health and Social Care Bill has completed its passage through Parliament and become law. Labour MP John Healey put in an FOI request for the transitional risk register to be published in November 2010, when he was shadow health secretary. At the time, the government had published a white paper outlining plans to overhaul the NHS. Ministers cited a "section 35" defence under the FOI Act, which exempts information used in policy formulation and development from having to be released, and rejected the request in December 2010 - the month before the NHS bill was introduced in Parliament But the section 35 defence is not absolute and must be weighed against the balance of public interest. Because of the "exceptional" nature of the NHS overhaul, the timing of Mr Healey's request and the nature of the risk register itself - which dealt with "implementation/operational type risks" not direct policy considerations - the tribunal ruled it should be published. But it said a second risk register relating to the NHS overhaul - a strategic risk register requested under FOI laws by Evening Standard journalist Nicholas Cecil and dealing with "risks which need to be brought to the attention of ministers" - could be kept secret. The top civil servant at the DoH, Una O'Brien, told the tribunal hearing last month that risk registers were meant to allow civil servants to "think the unthinkable" about what might go wrong - however unlikely - and to publish them could lead to a "very distorted" view of possible risks. But the tribunal said, having seen the registers, it found it "difficult to understand how they could be described in such a way". "It seems to us that the TRR identifies the sorts of risks one would expect to see in such a register from a competent department," it said. The government has argued that to publish could mean civil servants being afraid of being too candid in their advice in future. But the tribunal said it was "entitled to expect courage and independence from such officials" and that was not a good enough reason to withhold the information. It said research had suggested there was no evidence to back claims publishing could have a "chilling effect" on future risk registers and pointed out that a risk register had already been published in 2008 on plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport. While it accepted the "very strong public interest" in allowing officials and ministers private space to develop policies, it said that did not mean there should be an "absolute exemption for risk registers". Much depended on the timing of the requests - in the case of Mr Healey's request, it was made at a "time when consultation had ceased and policy seemed to be fixed", it said, thereby reducing the need for "safe space" for advice. "We find in this case that there is a very strong public interest in transparency and accountability in relation to the risks involved in introducing the NHS reforms," the tribunal said. It argued that the public interest in understanding the risks involved in this case "would have been very high, if not exceptional" and would have provided the public "with a far better understanding of the risks to a national institution which millions depended on". Publishing it could have either "gone a long way to alleviating" concerns and reassuring the public or "demonstrated the justification for the concerns" to better inform public debate. The information commissioner had already ruled that it should be published, but the government had appealed to the information tribunal. A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "We are now examining the judgment given by the information tribunal. We are working closely with colleagues across government and we will set out our next steps as soon as we are able to." Mr Healey said: "What was the Health Bill is now law but the risks of the government's huge NHS reorganisation remain. "The government used its big guns to defend its refusal to publish the risk register and this legal judgement demolishes their case for secrecy." Cublington, Maplin Sands and "Boris Island" have all been considered and turned down, and instead the existing airports at Gatwick, Stansted, Luton - and Heathrow itself - have all been expanded. However, the UK has built no new runways in the south-east of England since Gatwick's concrete runway was built in the late 1950s (though London City did open, albeit with a much shorter runway, in 1987). Of course, even after today, things will not be finalised. Following the government's announcement of its preferred option there will be a public consultation process, before a final decision is made and put to MPs for a vote next year. With Heathrow currently operating at 98% capacity - a much higher level than many of its rivals - many argue that this is affecting the UK's economy. So what are the costs of this much-delayed decision, and how does the UK compare with other countries when it comes to airports? Nobody knows exactly how much the years of delay may have cost the UK economy. Business groups like the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors, the British Chambers of Commerce and others - as well as the TUC - have all called for a third Heathrow runway to keep the UK competitive. The CBI warned that repeated delays could cost the UK more than £30bn by 2030 - with the country losing out on trade to Germany and France. This summer, a cross-party group of MPs, the British Infrastructure Group (BIG), said the delay in building a new runway at Heathrow was costing the British economy up to £6m a day in lost value. They argued that following the UK's vote to leave the EU, the need for a new runway was even more pressing. "Everyone acknowledges we need more airport capacity but indecision is costing the economy dear," said Grant Shapps, who chairs the group. The MPs based their costings on figures from the government-appointed Davies Commission, which recommended building a new runway at Heathrow after nearly three years of deliberations. The Davies Commission said this could provide a boost of up to £147bn to the UK economy over the next 60 years - the equivalent of about £6m a day. However, this £6m-a-day figure is not so much a "cost" as an estimate of the opportunities the UK could lose out on if it doesn't have a runway - and a prediction of what these might be worth. In its examination of the figures, the independent fact-checking charity, Full Fact, says it is "better to treat the estimates as judgements... with a reasonable degree of uncertainty, rather than facts". The Davies Commission itself says it is difficult to predict the impact of a new runway on the UK economy and has cautioned against attaching significant weight to the actual numbers. Indeed the DfT has just said that a new runway at Heathrow will bring economic benefits to passengers and the wider economy worth up to £61bn over 60 years - which is less than half the Commission's figure. But just looking at the net economic benefits won't tell you who wins and who loses - you also need to look at the social costs. Passengers might enjoy cheaper travel and a better service, firms might be able to move goods and people in and out of the UK more easily - but those living close to Heathrow will face environmental costs and noise pollution, as well as public health concerns. Everywhere you look, it seems, somebody somewhere is building or extending an airport. While the UK has been in a holding pattern over a third runway at Heathrow, others have pushed ahead. France has built Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport complete with four runways, Madrid and Frankfurt also have four runways apiece while the Netherlands has effortlessly added runways to Amsterdam Schiphol - it now has six. The biggest expansion is being driven by the economic development of Africa and Asia - particularly China - and the accompanying growth in world passenger traffic. This has outperformed the growth in global GDP (except for a period between 2008-09) and is currently growing at 6.2%, says the European aerospace giant Airbus. It reckons that between 2016 and 2035 global air traffic will grow at an average of 4.5% a year, with demand from countries like China outpacing growth in western Europe and North America. 36% of passenger traffic will come from Asia-Pacific by 2035 22% will come from Europe 25% of the population of emerging countries flew in 2015 75% will take a trip in 2035 The speed with which these projects have been conceived and implemented is breath-taking. For instance, Turkey's government only announced a third airport for Istanbul in 2013, but it is already about 30% built and is scheduled to open in 2018. When all construction phases are finished in 2030 it will be one of the world's biggest airports, with six 3,750m runways and handling up to 200 million passengers a year. By comparison, London's five airports currently handle 150 million passengers a year in total. Last year, consultants KPMG said that the world's major cities would build 50 new runways by 2036 - a third of them in China alone. "The emerging markets matter because within about a decade over half the growth in the world will come from these economies," says KPMG's James Stamp. Yet China's own aviation authority has even more ambitious plans. The aim is to build 66 new airports in the next five years, taking the number of the country's airports to 272 from 206, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said earlier this year. Air travellers in China took four billion domestic trips and over 100 million international trips last year, says the CAAC, which is also planning to increase the number of domestic and international routes. The country is spending almost $12bn (£9.8bn) on civil aviation infrastructure this year, and is stepping up construction of important new airports, including those in Beijing, Chengdu, Qingdao, Xiamen and Dalian. Work on Beijing's second international airport, at Daxing, the largest construction project in Chinese civil aviation history is well under way. Construction began at the end of 2014 and is due to be finished by 2019. It will have seven runways and be capable of taking 75 million passengers by 2025. Meanwhile, a new runway is also being built at Beijing's existing airport that should help accommodate an additional eight million passengers a year - the airport handled almost 90 million passengers last year. And yet, sometimes there is such a thing as having too many airports - even in China. A lot of smaller airports are not doing well in attracting travellers - the most obvious example being Libo airport in south-west China, which was built at a cost of $57m but handled only 151 passengers in all of 2009. In Spain in the boom years, many cities decided that what they needed was an airport, adopting the mantra of "build it and they will come". Sadly it hasn't worked. As the country's economy slowed, many of its regional airports closed. Out of Spain's 46 publicly run airports, only a handful are now making money - and almost half are "ghost airports" with barely any passengers and empty terminals. Ciudad Real airport, 235km (146 miles) south of Madrid, was meant to be an alternative to the capital's Barajas airport. It cost €1.1bn ($1.19bn; £979m) to build, has one of the longest runways in Europe (4,100m) and could handle 10 million passengers a year. But instead it lies deserted. The last scheduled flight was in 2011 and it closed in 2012 after just three years of operation. It was finally sold at auction this year for €56m, a fraction of what it cost to build. And then there is Germany, a country often epitomised as the acme of trouble-free planning and efficiency. That's very definitely not the case with the capital's new airport. Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt International Airport was designed to replace two existing airports. In 2004 it was optimistically estimated that it would cost €1.7bn and open in 2012; it is now years overdue and billions over budget. The scandal-plagued project has seen changing designs, failures with its fire-control system, as well as high-profile resignations and sackings. Fast-forward to 2016 and the total cost is now €5.4bn - and that could well rise to more than €7bn, some say. The opening date has now been pushed back to 2017 - and it could be delayed yet further. "There is still a chance for us to open in the second half [of 2017]," Karsten Muehlenfeld, who was appointed the airport's boss in 2015, told the German newspaper Handelsblatt recently. "But... there are a lot of risks still in the building," he added. "We have a lot engineers who are working on that, but that doesn't mean you find a solution." Heathrow's most important rival comes not in Europe but in the Middle East, where Dubai has taken advantage of its location to become a major hub airport - overtaking Heathrow as the world's busiest international airport, and could soon become the busiest airport overall. In addition to its existing airport - Dubai International - the emirate is also developing a purpose-built airport city 23 miles outside Dubai. Al Maktoum International Airport will ultimately be able to handle 200 million passengers a year. So far it has mainly been used for freight. The $30bn project is expected to be completed within six years, and is designed to handle up to 100 Airbus double-decker A380s simultaneously. "Dubai is perfectly placed, being at the crossroads between east and west to take advantage of that growth [in air travel in Asia]," says Dubai Airports chief executive Paul Griffiths. "There's a lot of airports in the world that won't be able to grow at the rates that they will need to grow to take advantage of that." Perhaps the real challenge to Heathrow - and the UK, if you accept the importance of air travel to the economy - comes not from other airports but geography and changing patterns of global air travel. Follow Tim Bowler on Twitter@timbowlerbbc A cursory glance at the artists the Northern Ireland musician performed or toured with is akin to looking at one of the finest jukeboxes from the 1960s. Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Pink Floyd, Donovan, Ronnie Lane, Eric Burdon, the list rolls on like a banner poster from one of those legendary festivals of the era. Fittingly, he was the only Irishman to play at Woodstock, as lead guitarist with Joe Cocker and the Grease Band. McCullough grew up in the sleepy seaside resort of Portstewart, County Londonderry, cutting his teeth with showband the Skyrockets. However, it was when he linked up with The People, who later became Eire Apparent, that his career took off. Signed by a former member of The Animals, Chas Chandler, the group toured with Jimi Hendrix in Britain and the US. McCullough also experienced life as a producer with the band, but reportedly left after expressing disappointment at being asked to wear "fancy hats and boots". He had a short spell with the innovative Irish traditional group Sweeney's Men, who were lauded at the 1968 Cambridge Folk Festival, before he linked up with Sheffield blues singer Joe Cocker. As well as that performance at Woodstock in 1969, McCullough also played with The Grease Band on a number of Cocker's albums including his debut, With A Little Help From My Friends. He was invited to join Wings in 1971 after auditioning for former Beatle Paul McCartney and spent 18 months recording and touring with the band. McCullough was praised for his guitar solo on the US Number one hit My Love. His distinctive fretwork also featured on the James Bond anthem Live and Let Die. 'Musical differences' were cited as the reason why he left Wings, with McCullough wanting a broader canvas in which to express his skills. His solo album, Mind Your Own Business, was recorded on the Dark Horse label of another ex-Beatle, George Harrison. The celebrated session musician moved back to Northern Ireland in the 1980s, but his career was put on hold when an accident with a knife severed tendons in his playing hand. Following recuperation, he returned with Dublin group The Fleadh Cowboys, before forming his own band. McCullough had received critical acclaim in recent years for albums such as Belfast to Boston and Poor Man's Moon. Although his voice featured on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon and he played on the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, the bluesman was always true to his roots. His talents may have taken him around the world, but McCullough was comfortable jamming on a Portstewart bar stool. It was the music that mattered. Police sources said Amedy Coulibaly had been buried in the Muslim section of the Thiais cemetery, outside the city. Seventeen people died in three days of violence in Paris that began with an assault on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on 7 January. Two other attackers, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, are already buried. Coulibaly, 32, killed four people and held a number of others hostage at a Jewish supermarket in eastern Paris on 9 January. Police also believe he killed a policewoman in the Montrouge area of the French capital a day earlier. Coulibaly is believed to have had a long history of criminal activity - including drugs offences - and links to at least one of the Kouachi brothers. Earlier, France's top legal authority ruled that it was lawful to strip a dual national convicted of terrorism offences of his French nationality. Ahmed Sahnouni, a Moroccan naturalised by France in 2003, had challenged the stripping of his citizenship. Mr Sahnouni's lawyer argued that stripping his bi-national client of French citizenship created a two-tier system, with some Frenchmen "more French" than others. But the Constitutional Council ruled that the move was justified by the seriousness of the need to tackle Islamist extremism. Sahnouni was jailed for seven years in 2013 for terror-related activities. A dual citizen, he is now due to be extradited to Morocco on completing his sentence. Under French law, nationals can be stripped of their naturalised citizenship if they are convicted of "terror acts", but only if the move would not make them stateless. A poll published in a French newspaper several days ago suggested 81% of French people wanted dual nationals convicted of terrorism offences to have their French passports taken away. It also suggested 68% believed French citizens involved in violent jihad abroad should not be allowed to return to France. For those convicted of terrorism offences with only French nationality, the government is looking at reviving the status of 'national disgrace', used for collaborators after World War Two, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports from Paris. Under this label, convicts would be stripped of some of their civic rights. The controversial suggestion is part of a large package of measures, outlined this week by Prime Minister Manuel Valls, to boost security in the wake of this month's attacks. England's 3-2 friendly win in Germany on Saturday led to further debate about Rooney's place in the team for this summer's tournament in France. The 30-year-old Manchester United forward is the Three Lions' record goalscorer, with 51 goals in 109 games. Rooney, who expects to be back in training within 10 days, told ITV: "I have never taken my place for granted." Goals from Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Eric Dier secured victory over World Cup holders Germany in Berlin, with Tottenham's Dele Alli named man of the match. Tottenham forward Kane, 22, and 29-year-old Leicester striker Vardy have both outscored Rooney in the Premier League this season. Arsenal's Danny Welbeck, 25, and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, 26, are also contenders to start up front for England. But boss Roy Hodgson has backed his captain to play a major part when he returns from a knee injury. Rooney, speaking before Tuesday's friendly against the Netherlands, said competition for places had "not always been there" in previous tournaments, when the team was "set". He added: "Now if everyone is fit, no-one knows. The manager can play three or four teams, different combinations. For the country it's going to be an exciting tournament. "It's an opportunity for us to do really well. I want to be there and be involved and hopefully lead this team as far as possible." The average age of the England side against Germany was 24, and Rooney said it was important for there to be a balance of youth and experience in the squad. "There are so many of them that have not been to a major tournament," he said. "There's a lot of young players. "The likes of myself, Joe Hart and Gary Cahill can give them advice and make them feel more comfortable." England will face Russia, Slovakia and Wales in Group B of Euro 2016, which starts on 10 June. Mr Kasparov saw fellow Russian Kirsan Ilyumzhinov retain his position as head of the World Chess Federation at a vote in the Norwegian Arctic city of Tromso. Mr Ilyumzhinov has run the federation for 19 years. However, his critics accuse him of being a Kremlin puppet with ties to brutal dictators. Mr Ilyumzhinov won the election on Monday with 110 to 61 votes, on the sidelines of the Chess Olympiad in Tromso. Mr Kasparov - a regular critic of Russia's elite - said the procedure was rigged. "This has been an unfair fight from the very start," Mr Kasparov said before the vote. Mr Kasparov, 51, is a noted human rights campaigner and an opponent of Russia's President Vladimir Putin. He accuses Mr Ilyumzhinov of being too close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and says his presidency of the World Chess Federation has been marked by "abuse and favouritism". "Every Russian embassy in the world has been mobilised to support Mr Ilyumzhinov and to keep him in office," Mr Kasparov told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. "It's not about chess. This is a pure political fight." Mr Ilyumzhinov, 52, claims he was once abducted by aliens who communicated telepathically and took him to another planet in a giant spaceship. His critics say such claims have driven sponsors away from the game. He has also been accused of damaging the reputation of the chess federation by cultivating close ties to dictators including Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. In a recent interview with the New York Times, he said: "Chess is beyond politics. [That] is why Kasparov is so dangerous. This is why it's necessary to fight him. This is what the chess world was afraid of: Kasparov started mixing chess with politics." A police officer was also injured in the incident in Ferry Lane in Tottenham Hale on Thursday evening. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has been called in to investigate the death and it said a firearm had been recovered. It is thought the officer, who was taken to hospital and later discharged, was shot first but this is not known for certain, an IPCC spokesman said. In a statement, the IPCC said: "It is understood that the shooting followed an MPS [Metropolitan Police Service] operation." The Metropolitan Police would not confirm if the man had been shot by a police officer. A Scotland Yard spokesman added: "One male was pronounced dead at the scene and one officer was taken to hospital." Local resident David Akinsanya said he arrived at the scene moments after the incident. He said he was told by a witness that a police officer had shouted to the man to stop "a couple of times", but the man had not heeded the warning. The witness, who lives next to the spot where it happened, then heard four shots, Mr Akinsanya said. "There were lots of helicopters and sirens all over the place," he added. "There was also a surveillance van on the corner." A waitress at a nearby pub, who did not wish to be identified, said the incident had happened a few minutes' walk from Tottenham Hale station. She said: "One man came in and he said that he saw police trying to pull some clothes off a man who was bleeding." Another worker said there were "lots of cars" around the scene. Police have taped off a large area and Ferry Lane remains closed. David Lammy, Labour's MP for Tottenham, said he was "shocked and deeply worried" about the attack. "I think there's quite a lot of anxiety now in the community, but we should try to stay calm and not rush to judgement," he said. "We need to understand what has happened. "I hope that the IPCC can move quickly to allay fears and rumours that can circulate in these circumstances." The mainstream media reported the news in a very sober manner, carrying the words of Vice-President Aristobulo Isturiz and pictures of an almost dry Guri dam, the country's main source of hydroelectric power. Mr Isturiz announced that civil servants would work only on Mondays and Tuesdays until the energy crisis was over and that schools would remain closed on Fridays. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said the weather phenomenon El Nino was to blame for the drought which has driven water levels in the Guri dam down and led to power shortages. But critics of the government say the situation has been made worse by years of mismanagement, a failure to diversify energy sources and a lack of investment. Many Venezuelans blame the the president for the ever more frequent power cuts and have taken to Twitter to express their anger under the hashtag #MaduroEsOscuridad (#MaduroIsDarkness). Some re-tweeted a post by opposition politician Henrique Capriles showing a blackened map of Venezuela with the message: "Let's revoke the darkness". But it was satirical website El Chiguire Bipolar (The Bipolar Capybara) which mined the power cuts for all of their comedic potential. Not only does it run an article about how the power cuts have led Venezuelans to develop night vision: It also outlines a mock schedule supposedly designed by Venezuela's energy supplier suggesting how people should change their daily routines to cope with the lack of power: It includes such suggestions as sleeping in and "dreaming of the Eternal Commander" in a reference to the late President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, and taking cold showers as that is what Simon Bolivar, the man who liberated Venezuela from Spanish rule, would have done. And it pointed out that the power cuts offered Venezuelans a rare respite from TV broadcasts by President Maduro: The satirical website already had a field day mocking the suggestion made by President Maduro a couple of weeks ago that Venezuelans stop using hair dryers in order to save electricity. At the time, it published a photoshopped image of the former Vice-President Elias Jaua sporting what the site said was his new "natural hairstyle", which the article said he had decided to sport to fall in line with Mr Maduro's instructions. The site, which is run from a US-based service provider, also praises the unforeseen "positives" of the scheduled power cuts, saying they will offer Venezuelans "a respite from seeing President Maduro on TV". The president, much like his predecessor in office, Hugo Chavez, is fond of lengthy speeches and has his own TV show. Media playback is not supported on this device Yet an era that has reshaped both the club and British football might never have come to pass had it not been for a chance meeting and a game of charades in January 1989. Media playback is not supported on this device That month at Highbury, as the Gunners reached half-time, Wenger was being introduced to a man who would go on to recruit him and start a journey that he would still be travelling on a quarter of a century later. The gentleman in question was David Dein and that moment was the start of a relationship that led to Wenger's appointment on 30 September 1996, followed by the most successful period in Arsenal history. Dein left his post as vice-chairman in 2007 and there has been no silverware since 2005, but Wenger remains at the helm and his former boss told BBC Sport how it all began. "I've always taken an interest in global football. I knew his name but had never met him until 1989 when he showed up, quite surprisingly, at Highbury to watch a game. Just then was like a flash of lightning, I sort of saw in the sky: 'Arsene for Arsenal' "My wife, Barbara, was in the cocktail lounge. She'd managed to escape from what was then the Ladies' Room - which, euphemistically, people used to call the Broom Cupboard - and they started up a conversation with Arsene. I was in the boardroom at the time and she asked me if I knew Arsene Wenger, the Monaco manager, was in the cocktail lounge. "So I went through at half-time, introduced myself to Arsene and said, 'What are you doing here?'. He said: 'I've just come from Turkey'. It was the break in the season in France and he wasn't going back to Monaco for a few days. He said: 'I'm just here overnight'. So I said: 'What are you doing tonight?'. He said: 'Nothing'. I said: 'Well, my wife and I are going out for dinner to a friend's house, would you like to join us?'. He said: 'That would be great'. "That evening we took him out to our friend's house for dinner. Coming from Strasbourg, his first two languages were French and German - and his English wasn't that great at the time - but he felt quite comfortable. The friend happened to be in showbusiness and they decided to play charades at the end of the evening. I said to Arsene, 'Do you want to play?' He said: 'OK', and about two minutes later he's acting out A Midsummer Night's Dream. "I thought 'This guy's something special, he's a bit different'. Just then it was like a flash of lightning, I sort of saw in the sky: 'Arsene for Arsenal, it's destiny, one day he will be our manager'." "We used to go to the south of France quite often and every time Arsene would invite us to watch Monaco play. He didn't realise it but he was auditioning. Because I saw how he worked, how he interacted with the players, with the board, with the fans, with the press. "If you think the English press are fairly intrusive, the French press are even more so. They were outside the dressing room at half-time to try and get an interview - but Arsene handled everything very calmly, very professionally and I was supremely impressed. I thought 'When the time comes, he must be up there'. I followed his career very closely. "He went to Grampus Eight in January 1995 and that was a brave move for him. People thought 'Why would he want to go to Japan when he had so much going for him? He could go to many clubs in Europe'. It just shows you the type of man Arsene is that he decided he wanted to improve himself - and he did. He went to Grampus Eight. They were at the bottom of the league and in the first year they won the Emperor's Cup. "When George Graham left in February 1995, I actually promoted Arsene to be the manager then and the board were reluctant to go for an overseas manager. They'd rather be a bit more conservative and stick to somebody who understood Premier League football, English football. So we went for Bruce Rioch in June 1995. "I thought it would be nice if I kept in touch with Arsene, so I used to send him the old video tapes after each match and he would send me a fax back. I was always interested to get his reaction because he is so analytical. He was living at the same house Gary Lineker stayed in and the fax had on the top - and I've still got them somewhere - the name 'Lineker,' which was sweet. "We would always talk about how Arsenal were playing, what he thought of the team and, above all else, what was going on in world football. He was my personal pundit. Media playback is not supported on this device "When Rioch didn't really work, I was far more forceful the second time round and I'm glad to say the board agreed to take Arsene on. It must have been July/August 1996 and Arsene was still under contract at Grampus Eight. There happened to be a break in their season in October. When we went over to see him it was agreed, very kindly and in very gentlemanly fashion, that he would be released in October of '96. "We would have had other names in case Arsene didn't want to take on the job. But he was certainly top of the list for me because I'd seen him in action, I'd seen him work. "I made sure I did some due diligence. We have a mutual friend in Gerard Houllier so I rang up Gerard, who at the time was technical director for the French Football Federation. Gerard knew him because Arsene and he had run parallel doing their coaching badges. I said to Gerard, 'What do you make of him?' and Gerard gave me just a glowing reference. So that was enough for me. "I also rang up Glenn Hoddle because he had played for Arsene in Monaco. Once again, Glenn said: 'He's a different guy'. Everywhere I went, people said the same thing - 'He's a class act'." "He came in and we had a press conference. Obviously people had no idea what he was like and I can understand that. He was an unknown quantity in English football. There was a sudden outbreak, a chorus from all the boys, saying: 'We want our Mars Bars back' "The headlines were: 'Arsene who?'. I remember going to the training ground to tell the players before it was publicly announced. I said to the boys, 'We've got a new manager starting today, it's Arsene Wenger' and a voice from the back said 'Who the **** is that?'. "Any appointment of a manager is always a risk, but these things are calculated risks. I always live by the motto of the turtle and that is: you'll never get anywhere unless you stick your neck out. "Think of what Arsene has changed, not just for Arsenal but for English football generally: training methods, dietary controls, tactics, style of play. In the 80s and early 90s, there was a big drinking culture in English football and certainly Arsenal. We had a Premier League team of drinkers. "Arsene had to clear all that out. He got the boys to understand their bodies, to respect them, to do the right thing, to train properly, to come in on time. It was a revelation. "There was a culture shock. I was on the team coach coming back from Aston Villa. After their meals there was a sudden outbreak, a chorus from all the boys, saying: 'We want our Mars Bars back! We want our Mars bars back!'. He turned round and said, while wagging finger, 'Oh no'. It was light-hearted but they realised things had to change for the better. "People ask me how I knew Arsene was the right man and I say that after winning the Double in his first full season that was a pretty good indication. "He is a meticulous guy in everything he does. He is so focussd, dedicated and protective of his players. He is virtually the first one on the training ground and the last one to leave. He's a very private man so, apart from his family, his whole life is dedicated to football. "I always say the best car to buy second-hand is Arsene's because it doesn't go anywhere. Literally, it goes to the training ground and back, and to the stadium every couple of weeks. He's absorbed with watching football and he's got a phenomenal encyclopaedic knowledge of players. Media playback is not supported on this device "He has to be right up there for what he has achieved and, quite apart from that, he's done it with style and dignity. "His legacy will be probably a magnificent stadium, a fantastic state-of-the-art training ground, a very strong squad - it can still be improved obviously - the style of play and also, which people forget, the recognition of Arsenal Football Club around the world. I travel enough and I can tell you it's now a global name, and much of that is because of Arsene Wenger and what he's achieved." In a way I think he is a victim of his own success "I don't think anyone could predict that, but building the stadium was a necessity because we had outgrown Highbury. We had a season-ticket waiting list of about 30-40,000 people, so we had insatiable demand and had to make sure we could get more people in. We had to move. "But with that comes its own tensions because the truth is we didn't have enough money at the time. We were really punching above our weight. We had to buy bargains, get players cheaply and develop our own. There was a balancing act between building the stadium and keeping the team competitive. The fact that Arsene has managed to do that is an enormous achievement. "In a way I think he is a victim of his own success. Winning trophies set a new level, the expectations of the fans became very high. They want a trophy and I sympathise with that - I'm a fan. But in the Premier League there's another 19 clubs who also want the same thing. "Nobody wants success more than Arsene does. He's as competitive as ever, but getting the talent is easier said than done. Arsene also believes in stability and you've got to say his track record is good. OK, they've had a barren patch, but this season hopefully it will all change. "Where he goes from here is another story because it is very competitive out there. I've got no idea if he'll sign a new contract - personally I'd like him to continue, but it will be his decision. "It's fairly common knowledge that every season Real Madrid were after him. Indeed, the French Federation would have loved him to be France coach. But he's been very loyal and I think we'll be very lucky to see anybody celebrating 1,000 games with one club at the top level again."

These photos give you an impression of what some streets in London will look like when they have been converted to protect cyclists. Of course, not everyone will like road space being given over to cyclists. Many drivers fear the works and the scheme will create congestion for vehicles. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) still has a judicial review pending on this scheme; I'm told the chances of that succeeding are very slim. Cyclists will love this space and a cycle lane running straight up to Parliament will invigorate cycling campaigners who'll say "if it can be done here, it can be done anywhere". The full scheme along Embankment is not yet complete but is due to open in summer 2016. At the same time, 2.3 million male workers will benefit, the Resolution Foundation report says. The majority of employees would see their earnings rise in line with the minimum but some would gain from a "ripple effect" of wage rises, it said. The National Living Wage of £7.20 an hour comes into force in April 2016. It will only apply to workers over the age of 25. The national minimum wage is currently £6.50 an hour, which will rise to £6.70 next month. "Because of their concentration among the low paid, women will account for the majority of the winners," said the think tank's policy analyst, Conor D'Arcy. "This will have a positive - though modest - effect on the gender pay gap, and will particularly help those working part-time." Analysis by the Resolution Foundation found that six million people - almost a quarter of all employees - will get a wage rise by the end of the decade, worth an average of £1,210. A further 2.8 million employees already being paid the new minimum would gain as firms maintained pay gaps between different workers, the report said. Workers in areas including Yorkshire and the Humber, Midlands and Wales were expected to be among those benefiting most from the higher wage, it suggested. Earlier in the week, the government outlined plans for tougher penalties to be imposed on employers which fail to meet the National Living Wage requirements. The plan for the wage, outlined in Chancellor George Osborne's Budget, has received support, but the CBI said it was a "gamble" to place politics into the setting of a minimum wage level. TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "The TUC has long argued that Britain needs a pay rise, and the new supplement to the minimum wage is a welcome step forward. "Despite the pay gains, many of the lowest paid workers will still be left poorer overall because of steep cuts to their tax credits." The city is seen by the militants as the capital of the "caliphate" they declared in Syria and Iraq in 2014. The US military described the 16 strikes as one of the largest assaults carried out in Syria so far. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 23 IS members were killed in the attack. The London-based monitoring group also said a US drone strike on a Raqqa school on Saturday killed six civilians, including a child. US military spokesman Lt Col Thomas Gilleran said: "The significant air strikes tonight were executed to deny Daesh [IS] the ability to move military capabilities throughout Syria and into Iraq." The raids follow the release of a video, apparently by IS, showing 25 men being shot dead in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. Stills from the video showed the killers appeared to be young teenagers. What difference could Syria IS strikes make? Battle for Iraq and Syria in maps Elsewhere in Syria, government forces are reported to have entered the town of Zabadani, as they attempt to retake it from non-IS Sunni Muslim rebels. The Syrian troops (loyal to the government of President Bashar al-Assad) are being supported by the Lebanese Shia Muslim militant group, Hezbollah. Zabadani is close to Syria's border with Lebanon. The BBC's correspondent in Beirut, Jim Muir, says that the Syrian regime is determined to regain control of the strategic town once and for all, as is Hezbollah. It wants to be sure that Shia communities on the Lebanese side of the border will be safe from attack by the Syrian rebels, who are mainly Sunnis, our correspondent says. In this area they are led by the Nusra Front, an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Syria. The candidate will be David Furness, the party's organiser in west London, who stood in the 2011 Feltham and Heston Parliamentary by-election. A spokesman for the BNP told BBC London the party had been "rebuilding and modernising" since May. The BNP fielded eight candidates at the general election. A BNP spokesman said the party was not worried about lack of resources: "We didn't bankrupt ourselves by standing in too many seats in May, unlike UKIP." Reports to the Electoral Commission show it had a total income of more than £600,000 in 2013, the latest year for which complete figures are available, down from more than £1.2m in 2010. He said the party had been "rebuilding and modernising through the support of our members after a recent scaling-down in activity". In 2012, BNP candidate Carlos Cortiglia finished last in the mayoral contest, with 28,751 votes or 1.3% of those cast. This represented a sharp decline on its 2008 result, when its candidate Richard Barnbrook finished fifth and polled 69,710 votes, ahead of UKIP and Respect. Mr Barnbrook was at one time a member of the London Assembly for the BNP, later sitting as an independent before retiring. Other party candidates announced so far include: But the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which runs through farms, roads, hedges and even houses has emerged as a crucial issue in the talks - and one with deep implications for the Northern Irish economy. The border now exists virtually in name only, with the only visible sign when crossing between the countries the change in speed limit signs from miles per hour to kilometres. Talk to young people in the county towns and they are incredulous at the talk of a hard border post-Brexit. Their parents, however, are more wary. They know that only a few decades ago the border was extremely hard, with watchtowers on hills, troops searching lorries and queues of cars waiting to cross. The peace process dismantled the watchtowers and let the troops leave. Since, the cross border economy has flourished. "It's two countries, but really the economy of the island of Ireland is, in most respects, one economy," said Ellvena Graham, vice-president of the Northern Irish Chambers of Commerce. Companies have set up close to the border to make use of the good transport links to Dublin, and unemployment rates in the border counties have fallen from about 25% at the height of the Troubles to about 3% - lower than the national average. The cross-border trade is particularly strong in farming; one-third of Northern Ireland's milk production is handled in the Republic, while the same proportion of Irish pigs cross the border for processing in Northern Irish factories. Fane Valley, a Northern Ireland farmers co-operative founded in 1903, has annual sales in excess of £500m and extensive operations on both sides of the border. Trevor Lockhart, the chief executive says the border is "seamless, and we would like to keep it that way". "The industry is very concerned about a hard border and what that might mean. It would set the industry back 25 years." Contingency planning was already underway, Lockhart said, with some big decisions likely to be taken towards the end of next year - before the official Brexit deadline of March 2019. Lockhart said companies like his needed to make their plans now, even though there was no clarity on the eventual status of the border. "We can't take it for granted. We are trying to maximise sales in domestic markets - the economic stakes are so high that we can't leave it to chance. We can't just hope it will be alright on the night," he said. The other Brexit-related threat to Northern Irish agriculture is limits on immigration. About 65% of all workers in the industry are migrants, most of those EU nationals. Lockhart's hopes - and those of other Irish businessmen, north and south - may clash with the hard realities of Brexit, and the promise that British politicians will take back control of borders and control immigration. Some academics and economists have suggested that the eventual solution may be to recognise the porous nature of the Northern Ireland border and shift the hard frontier back to airports and ports in England, Scotland and Wales. This would leave Northern Ireland in the special position of being part of the United Kingdom, with -bizarrely - an open border with the European Union. Such a solution, anathema to hard-Brexiteers, might make Northern Ireland a sought-after business location, one enjoying, by accident of history, the best of both worlds.

The BBC has uncovered evidence of infighting among senior management and allegations of bullying in one case. Three councillors on the Avon Fire Authority, which oversees the service, have called for an independent review. The authority said the allegations had been investigated twice and concluded no further action was needed. Former assistant chief fire officer Dave Salmon took early retirement on the grounds of ill-health in 2014, following a suspension. The BBC has been told he was met with resistance from colleagues after pushing for reforms to the service. An independent doctor, who saw him when he was pursuing part of his under-dispute pension, said Mr Salmon "appeared to have been subject to behaviours which could be argued as being bullying and harassment prior to his suspension". Avon Fire Authority said it could not comment on personal circumstances but that it had been subject to a "malicious campaign" at a time when it was working to make savings. Deputy chief fire officer Gerry O'Brien was given a year's secondment and £25,000 pensionable allowance before retiring in 2012. But the secondment never happened and Mr O'Brien spent time instead on garden leave, the BBC has been told. Maggie Harte, who was HR director until she took early retirement in 2011, said disagreements at board level made her ill. "I had been in the fire service for 30 odd years, my sickness record almost flawless. "Suddenly I found I would be vomiting before I went into work on a Monday, which was our board meeting day, just at the thought of yet another clash. "It was so unpleasant it broke me for a period of time." Nick Wilton, who has called for a review, said: "I would describe the atmosphere as toxic. The fact that three senior officers have exited… I think is a real cause for concern." The authority said it had been aware of the "unfounded" allegations for some time and they had been dealt with twice in recent months. A spokesman said it had "treated the matters seriously". "The second time a more in-depth review of the allegations was carried out and we received a statutory report from the fire authority's new monitoring officer, who was able to bring a fresh perspective to these matters," he said. The authority added an overwhelming majority of its members decided "no further action should be taken" and they have "full confidence" in the chief fire officer. The singer, who is following up the 30 million-selling 21, will also play some of her new songs for the first time. "Adele at the BBC" will be her first television appearance since performing Skyfall at the 2013 Oscar ceremony. "I can't wait," said the star. "Graham and I get on great so it's going to be a laugh." Calling Adele's new album "the music event of the year," Norton added: "This opportunity to spend an hour with Adele, her music and her stories is a truly rare treat. "If I wasn't hosting this special I'd be sat at home watching it." The show will be taped in front of a live audience on 2 November. Tickets will be allocated via a ballot, and applications are open now on the BBC Music website. A transmission date for the show has yet to confirmed. Separately, it has been announced that Adele will appear as the musical guest on US television institution Saturday Night Live on 21 November. The musician returned from a self-imposed hiatus last week with a new single, Hello, which is widely expected to hit number one this week. Following its release on Friday, it topped the iTunes chart in 102 countries. In the UK, the Official Charts Company said it sold 165,000 copies over the weekend. Reviews for the song have been overwhelmingly positive. The Guardian called it "striking, witty and lovelorn"; while the Telegraph described it as "a beautiful song of loss and regret". Unveiling the song on BBC Radio 2, Adele admitted she had "struggled" to write her new album. "Obviously, I took a lot of time off because I came a mum," she said. "And then, when I thought I was ready to start writing, I wasn't. So I took some more time off." "A couple of times, I thought I'd dried up. There was also a period I thought, 'maybe I should just go out on a high. Maybe people have heard enough of me.'" Asked by Chris Evans whether giving up her music career had ever been a possibility, the star said, "yeah, I think so". However, she added, "there never was an option of me not making music, because it's the only thing I really like to do." Adele is only making a handful of TV appearances to promote the new album, with other bookings rumoured to include Saturday Night Live and the Today programme in the US. Anticipation for her material is high after her last record, 21, sold more than 30 million copies around the world. But, speaking to BBC Radio 1, the musician said she didn't feel any pressure to live up to that success. "I feel like every album I'm ever going to write is always going to be following 21. No matter what this album does, my next record's going to be following 21. "It's phenomenal what happened with that - but it is a phenomenon. I can't really include it in any expectations of anything I ever do again." With the first quarter of the league campaign having been completed at the weekend, the table is beginning to settle into a familiar-looking format. It was widely expected, after all, that Celtic would eventually return to the top this season. Even so, the nature of Aberdeen's challenge is less predictable. That inconsistency is, in itself, a bewildering drama. Derek McInnes steered his side to eight straight victories at the outset of the campaign, but Aberdeen have since lost three times in a row in the league, and been knocked out of the Scottish League Cup by Hibernian. For a team that had been so resolute, strong and assertive, the faltering has been eye-catching. Supporters' minds will jostle with explanations, mostly based on preconceptions, but it is the manager's job to identify and solve the issues that have suddenly beset his team. Social media has created an environment of boundless speculation and rumour, a world that has infuriated the Aberdeen manager, but in reality it is mundane matters that need to be addressed. McInnes has been making changes to his side, and rhythm and momentum have been lost, while there is a psychological challenge to being league leaders that players need to adapt to. It is the defensive uncertainties that are most damaging. Aberdeen only conceded three goals during their eight consecutive wins, but have conceded nine in their last three league games. McInnes assembled a squad with strength in depth, so alterations to the starting line-up shouldn't be disruptive, but senior players must recover their nerve and reliability. The manager will have to rely on his authority and shrewdness to find the means to carry that out. He is well-equipped to cope. Losing 2-0 on Friday night at Ross County will have particularly pained McInnes, since the Aberdeen manager spent the international break working intently with his players, but the continuing progress of the Dingwall side is further evidence of the solid, impressive work being carried out by Jim McIntyre and Billy Dodds. Ross County ought to be praised for their resurgence, which has lifted them to fourth in the table and reminded again of the worth of organisation, industry and players being encouraged to thrive. McIntyre has built a decent squad of players whose abilities he understands and can rely on. There is competition for places - County have four first-team strikers - but also versatility. Room is made for a maverick talent, too, like Liam Boyce, who might have made the scoreline more emphatic against Aberdeen if his instincts did not go awry at the wrong times. Under McIntyre, County have regrouped and made steady progress. There will be no need in January, for instance, for the annual hurry to the transfer market to sign players on short-term deals to try to rescue the campaign. That kind of stability tends to be rewarded at clubs, and County have become a reliably effective side. The new Dundee United manager was typically competitive and forthright on the touchline at Tannadice. Decisions made during the 1-0 defeat to Hearts, by officials and his own players, tended to uncork that ferocious spirit that has underpinned all of Mixu Paatelainen's work in football. Paatelainen has been blunt about the situation at Tannadice, acknowledging that the club is now in a fight against relegation, but he can only win it by solving the flaws in his team. The missing quality this season has been experience, an element of the kind of streetwise nature that would have allowed a team of talented youngsters manage difficult periods in games and secure points that would have kept them higher up the table. That kind of nous is earned in the hard yards of a career, so Paatelainen can only impose order and instructions on his team until the January transfer window, funds allowing, provides an opportunity to sign one or two time-served players for the spine of his side. United need to become more difficult to score against - they have conceded the most Premiership goals - and there was an element of resourcefulness when he fielded John Souttar, a player of raw talent but lacking the particular skills demanded of a centre-back or a midfielder. There is a growing reliance on Billy McKay to provide the team's cutting edge. The Northern Irishman has form for regular goalscoring, and the added motivation of a place in his country's Euro 2016 squad to earn, but he likes to play off the shoulder of defenders and run in behind, while Paatelainen wants his team to build attacks through possession. The manager urges his goalkeeper to distribute the ball short, but that created pressure on his defenders on Sunday. The onus, for now, is to be pragmatic and build a solid, uncompromising team. Former SDLP leader Mark Durkan claims they are now being "played like a joker". It is one of the kinder descriptions applied to the DUP's decision to use the petition to block an assembly motion this week that, among other things, accused the Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland of misleading the institutions. An "abuse"; "political chicanery" and "farce" are among the charges made by the DUP's political opponents. But they are not the only party to have used the mechanism. Sinn Féin tried, and narrowly failed, to use a petition of concern to block Jim Allister's special adviser (Spad) bill in the assembly. The legislation stops former prisoners with serious convictions becoming a special political adviser at Stormont. The SDLP's decision not to sign the petition meant Sinn Féin had only the signatures of its 29 MLAs - one short of the 30 required. The DUP, however, with 38 MLAs, have no such worries and have been using the measure liberally recently to defeat anything from a vote calling for the introduction of gay marriage in Northern Ireland to amendments to the Planning Bill. Any vote taken by the assembly can be made dependent on cross-community support if a petition of concern is presented to the assembly speaker. In such cases, a vote on proposed legislation will only pass if supported by a weighted majority (60%) of members voting, including at least 40% of each of the nationalist and unionist designations present and voting. Effectively this means that, provided enough MLAs from a given community agree, that community can exercise a veto over the assembly's decisions. Since the restoration of devolution in 1998, the device has been used a total of 63 times - more than half of those were in the past two years. Unionists, mainly the DUP, have accounted for 37 petitions of concern. In the most recent assembly term, petitions of concern were used 18 times, compared with just six in 2007/2008, the year devolution was restored. So what is going on? According to Mr Durkan, the assembly's standing orders need to be amended to more accurately reflect the 1998 Good Friday Agreement itself, because the measures are being used "as defensive, pre-emptive and prescriptive vetoes". The former SDLP leader said: "The petition of concern facility was put into the agreement to safeguard communal sensitivities and specifically to protect equality and human rights considerations. "It was not proposed or envisaged as a tool to protect any minister from due accountability - not least when there are issues on probity in public finances or propriety of ministerial conduct. "Paragraphs 11 to 13 of the agreement show that the petition of concern was not meant to be played like a joker, as a reflex veto to frustrate any valid proposal. "Instead, it was meant to trigger a process whereby equality and human rights concerns could be assessed and addressed, by a specially appointed committee of the assembly taking evidence and reporting on those very issues. "Unfortunately, the assembly standing orders do not actually reflect the carefully calibrated provision in the agreement itself. The 1998 Act says that the assembly standing orders should make provision for what is laid down in those three paragraphs of the agreement." Mr Durkan added: "I have made the point several times before and do so again that the standing orders need to be corrected in accordance with the agreement and the 1998 Act. "The argument can also be made, and I made it at the time, that the 1998 Act could have been more explicit in providing for the procedure intended." The Alliance MP Naomi Long has asked Secretary of State Theresa Villiers to intervene by using the Northern Ireland Miscellaneous Provisions Bill currently making its way through Westminster to instead implement a weighted majority voting system, which would not allow any single party to "over-ride the wishes of the assembly as a whole". "The petition of concern was designed to offer protection to minorities within the assembly, where decisions of a sensitive nature risked being imposed upon them against their will," Ms Long said. "Its use in this case to protect the interest of one party in circumstances where there is widespread and cross-community support for a motion is a clear abuse of the mechanism and makes a strong case for urgent reform," she added. The DUP rejects the criticism but has said the party is open to change. A DUP spokesman told the BBC: "The use of a petition of concern in a motion calling for an inquiry that has already been established appears to have caused a greater outcry than when its use blocked an amendment to the Justice Bill, that would have prevented abortions being performed by private clinics. "Hopefully, those who have apparently been so outraged by the use of a mechanism they negotiated and supported in 1998 will be equally as forthright in their support for reform of the Stormont structures, which the DUP has supported for over a decade now." Just last week, the cross-party assembly and executive review committee decided "further detailed work" needed to be carried out on petitions of concern. After the events of this week, many will see that work as more urgent than ever. Of course, if the DUP, or any other party, does not like any proposed changes they can always block them - with a petition of concern. Speaking for the first time since quitting her post on 7 June, Mrs Napier said she had no idea Ian Johnston had any concerns about her performance. She said he came to her office and read out a document issuing an ultimatum - leave or face being forced out. Mr Johnston told a committee of MPs she was "unacceptably" unhelpful. They had both been called before the Home Affairs Committee in Westminster. Speaking on Tuesday, Mrs Napier told MPs: "I felt that the tone of the document and how he delivered it was both menacing and bullying. "I felt actually from the tone of the note, that it was a clear threat - retire or resign. Or actually, horrible words 'I will humiliate and dismiss you'. That is what rang in my head." The former chief constable said she was alone with Mr Johnston as he read out the document to her. She said she was not given a copy of it and had to ask him to slow down while he read it. She said he then "stormed out" without giving her a chance to reply, leaving her with feelings of "shock" and "horror". Mrs Napier, who had just reached 30 years service in the police force, said her initial reaction was to fight Mr Johnson's ultimatum. But she told the committee that after taking legal advice she realised the "enormous, unfettered power" which police and crime commissioners PCCs have. She said she discovered that even if Mr Johnston's decision was taken to the Gwent Police and Crime Panel which oversees the actions of the PCC, he could have ignored their advice. Earlier, Mr Johnston defended his decision to ask Mrs Napier to retire, saying it was clear she was "hostile" to his role as Gwent's PCC. Mr Johnston, a former chief superintendent in the Gwent force with more than 30 years service, said he went to her office on 23 May with a document that he had drafted with a lawyer. He denied he issued the ultimatum because of a clash of personalities, saying Mrs Napier's attitude to his role meant he was unable to do his job properly. The PCC told the committee the pair did not get off to a "very auspicious start" after he found out last November - in his first week in the elected role - that the chief constable had warned staff that anyone who had contact with him would be subject to disciplinary procedures. Of their first meeting: "It wasn't a very productive hour and it left me in no doubt as to where I stood and how she saw the role of the PCC, which didn't accord with my role." He also said when the pair discussed the closure of police stations in the force area - one of his statutory duties - she told him "it was nothing to do with me [Mr Johnston]". He added that he believed her managerial style to be "unacceptably dismissive, abrupt and unhelpful", although he conceded that he did not think she was incompetent as chief constable. However, when these points were put to Mrs Napier by the committee, she said she had wanted to work with Mr Johnston and had hoped he would be a champion of the force. She said some staff members who had worked with Mr Johnston when he was at Gwent Police raised concerns about his behaviours and attitudes and that they feared he might seek to undo the changes that had been brought into the force. Mrs Napier said that after looking into the legislation about PCCs, she spoke to senior officers and police staff to clarify the role of the chief constable and the PCC and what their responsibilities were. The committee also heard that Mr Johnston had accused Mrs Napier of manipulating crime figures after the force recorded the largest fall in crime in England and Wales in 2011-2012. But the former chief constable strongly denied this, adding that reviews had shown the force had previously been over-recording crime. After Mrs Napier announced she was retiring from her 30-year career in policing, it emerged she had been forced out by Mr Johnston. Mr Johnston confirmed his ultimatum to Mrs Napier after documents were leaked to the South Wales Argus. Until now, Mrs Napier's only comment on the issue had been a carefully-worded statement in which she asked whether PCC powers were compromising police independence. She called on the UK government to look again at the power of PCCs, which were first elected last year. Under current laws, a decision to remove a chief constable must be referred to the local police and crime panel, consisting of 10 to 20 members, who may ask for a report from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC). The panel has no power of veto and the final decision rests with the PCC. The 24-year-old, who scored 25 goals in 40 appearances for the Robins last season, has agreed a three-year deal with the Addicks. "Nicky is a fantastic addition," Charlton boss Russell Slade told the club website. "He's a proven goalscorer, is very strong in the box and has got a great work ethic as well." Ajose, who began his career at Manchester United and has had spells at Peterborough and Leeds, is Charlton's fourth signing of the summer. He has also previously spent time on loan at Bury, Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, Crawley and Crewe. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. Khan, a natural welterweight fighting beyond 147lbs for the first time, started well but was floored by a huge right hand from the defending champion. The defeat was the 29-year-old's fourth of his 35-fight career. "This challenge came and it was very hard to turn down," Khan said. "I want to be the best, I want to fight the best and that's why I took this fight. "I showed my bravery by getting in the ring with Canelo, but this is boxing. I wanted to go out there as a champion." Khan jumped two weight divisions to challenge Mexican Alvarez and was bidding to become only the third former light-welterweight world champion to win a middleweight world title. "I was unfortunate that I didn't make it to the end," he added. "I tried my best and I want to say thank you for the support, but I will probably go down to 147 now." Alvarez, who has won 33 of his 47 career victories by a knockout, said patience was key to his victory. "He was a very fast fighter and I knew things would be complicated at the beginning," he said. "But I knew the time would come in my favour. "Many people talk about my power but I've got many more qualities in the ring. People see that and that's what happened in the ring. "Someone who comes in to box obviously gives you more trouble. "But someone who comes in to press and attack you gives you the opportunity for a nice fight." In 2014 Nick Dickson, 52, gave himself the challenge of hill walking one thousand miles, with the intention of seeing more of the UK countryside while increasing his fitness. This is his story. "Last Jan 1st, like many people, I made a resolution to take more exercise. When I moved up to the North from London in 2011 I promised myself that I'd make use of the great countryside across the region. In the first few years of living here I'd been on some lovely walks but still had barely scratched the surface of what was available pretty much on my doorstep. I knew that I literally had to get out a bit more. Things started really well with an early new year break when I went up some of the Lake District fells around Buttermere and Crummock Water, and then a few trips over the next few weeks and months out to the hills and dales around Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire. I was clocking up the miles, all measured on my trusty walkers GPS unit, and seeing some amazing places. I started adding up the distances and keeping track of the total in a diary which helpfully had beautiful pictures of wild landscapes to further spur me on. I managed to boost the walk-mileage while on a fantastic holiday to the Outer Hebrides in late April with my other half where we did lots of walks across brilliant beaches, up stunning wild hillsides and visiting tiny islands, including St Kilda way out in the Atlantic. By mid-May I was already up to 350 miles, just about on course for the challenge of walking a thousand miles by the end of the year. A busy summer of work and distractions like the World Cup and Commonwealth Games slowed things down a bit so that by September I was behind schedule - under 600 miles with four months to go. Unfortunately I'd also told a few people that I was on the challenge so the pressure was on to get moving or risk embarrassment and a little humiliation. A long distance, multi day trip across the highlights of the Peak District and holiday breaks up to the Cairngorms and the Yorkshire Dales helped to put me back on track and see more fantastic British countryside. By December I still needed to walk another 80 or so miles. Shorter days, poor weather and getting ill all got in the way and seemed to be combining to stop me from reaching my goal. But a final push which included a Christmas Day walk to the source of the Thames in Gloucestershire, a snowy Sunday up around Kinder Scout in the High Peak and a New Years' Eve walk on the appropriately named Winter Hill in the West Pennines helped me cross the finishing line and reach the thousand mile target. As a townie largely brought up in the London suburbs I'd never been able to fully enjoy or appreciate how amazing and varied the British Isles really are. Before 2014 I'd visited lots of different parts of the country and knew of some of the beautiful places that existed but over this last year I've seen just how fantastic and accessible the countryside is. Whether it's a ramble over a National Trust park, a stroll across fields near your home, or a trip to the wilder, more rugged parts of Britain, getting out and walking, to see the wonders of where we live, is one of those pleasures that is open to everyone. You don't have to walk a thousand miles but I'd really recommend seeing what's on your doorstep, to get out and to get to know how great the country that we live in really is."

The 22-year-old, from Bartley Green, died in hospital after the attack in Woodgate Gardens at 22:50 BST. Police said they have arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of murder and have been given more time to question a 16-year-old boy about the death. A 21-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder, has been released without charge. Det Insp Caroline Corfield said: "Investigations are continuing into the tragic death of Mr Leonard. "I wish to express my gratitude to the local community who have been very supportive of this investigation but I do believe there are still others who will have relevant information." Some 3.2 million people have also been displaced internally over the same period, according to a new report. The UN accuses so-called Islamic State of systematic and widespread violence, including holding some 3,500 mainly women and children as slaves. Alleged abuses by troops, militiamen and Kurdish forces were also recorded. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad Al Hussein said the report "starkly illustrates what Iraqi refugees are attempting to escape when they flee to Europe and other regions. This is the horror they face in their homelands". The report, by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, is based on interviews with the displaced and direct testimony from victims, survivors or witnesses of rights abuses. It says the figures of 18,802 civilians killed and 36,245 wounded between 1 January 2014 and 31 October 2015 could be much higher. 10 July: IS militants force victims to lie down in central Mosul in front of large crowd. A bulldozer is driven over them 4 June: Two young males and a 60-year-old man thrown from a building in Ninewa for alleged homosexual acts 1-2 August: IS militants allegedly kill 19 women in Mosul for refusing to have sex with fighters 21 June: Women offered as sex slaves to the top three winners of a Koran memorisation competition in Mosul 23 June: IS group video shows men placed in a car and hit by rocket-propelled grenade; men drowned in a cage; men decapitated with explosives 12-15 July: Four imams in Mosul accused by self-appointed IS court of conducting forbidden taraweeh Ramadan prayers. Shot in the head Source: UN Report on the Protection on Civilians in the Armed Conflict in Iraq 1 May-31 October 2015 In particular, the figures from the conflict-torn western province of Anbar, much of which is held by IS, might not fully reflect the situation. About half of the deaths were recorded in Baghdad province and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were the deadliest tactic used against civilians. Nevertheless, the figures for civilian deaths are still significantly below those recorded at the height of the sectarian insurgency in Iraq in 2006 and 2007. Before so-called Islamic State swept across large areas of the country in 2014 and except for the 2006-07 sectarian war between Sunnis and Shia, the civilian death rate was much lower than the toll in this latest UN report. The monthly average rate between 2010 and 2013, for example, was about 400 deaths, which also included domestic violence and crimes. The latest figure will also certainly be much higher than the UN reports, because there are many no-go areas for activists and journalists. IS militants brag about killing anyone who they perceive as "non-believers" of their extremist Islamist ideology. Followers of other religions have also been singled out - with Yazidis and Christians taking the brunt of summary executions and murders. And Baghdad still represents a large percentage of civilian deaths, with IS militants targeting shopping centres, cafes, schools and markets. The report says: "So-called Islamic State continues to commit systematic and widespread violence and abuses of international human rights law and humanitarian law. "These acts may, in some instances, amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly genocide." The report documents killings by IS militants "in gruesome public spectacles, including by shooting, beheading, bulldozing, burning alive and throwing people off the top of buildings". It notes that up to 900 children have been abducted in the IS-held northern city of Mosul, to be indoctrinated and given military training. Women and children were also subjected to "sexual violence", the report states. It says about 3,500 people, mainly women and children and largely from the Yazidi community, were being held as slaves. The UN Special Representative for Iraq, Jan Kubis, said the "scourge of IS continues to kill, maim and displace Iraqi civilians in the thousands and to cause untold suffering". The report also documents alleged violations, including abductions and unlawful killings, by government forces, militiamen, members of the paramilitary Popular Mobilisation forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters. Civilians displaced by the conflict face difficulties in finding safety and if they do can be subjected to arbitrary arrests or forced expulsions, the UN says. Mr Kubis urged the Iraqi government to "use all means to ensure law and order, necessary for the voluntary return of the internally displaced to their place of origin". Mr Hussein said the "obscene" casualty figures did not fully reflect the suffering of civilians as many had died "from the lack of access to basic food, water or medical care". The most up-to-date UN estimate of internally displaced people in neighbouring Syria is 6.5 million, while more than 4.6 million others have fled to neighbouring states - including almost 245,000 to Iraq. More than 250,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the conflict erupted there in 2011. Tory MPs called the garments "beyond the pale" and "sickening". TUC general secretary Brendan Barber called them "tasteless and inappropriate". The T-shirts were proving "very popular" with trade unionists, stall holder Colin Hampton said. Baroness Thatcher, 86, has been in declining health in recent years and has withdrawn from public life. Mr Hampton defended the T-shirts as representing "many" people's view of the former PM. Lady Thatcher is unpopular with many trade unionists, who blame her for the "erosion" of workers' rights during the 1980s and the decline of industries including mining and heavy manufacturing. Lady Thatcher's supporters argue that she revitalised the economy and improved the UK's standing in the world by bringing in free market reforms and reducing the influence of powerful trade unions. In the Brighton Centre, where the TUC is holding its annual get-together, Mr Hampton, who works advising unemployed people in Derbyshire, said he was doing good business. One T-shirt bears a picture of a gravestone, and states: "Thatcher: A generation of trade unionists will dance on Thatcher's grave." Another shows a caricature puppet of Lady Thatcher and states: "Hey Ho The Witch is Dead." The accompanying plastic packaging says: "In the event of the death of Thatcher, open bag and wear tee-shirt immediately." Conservative MP Conor Burns told the Daily Telegraph the sentiment behind the T-shirts was "sickening". "It shows an ugly side to the hard left who cannot move on from their utter defeat at the hands of this remarkable, but now frail, lady. "Not for the first time Lady T shows why she amounts to so much more than her opponents." Aiden Burley, Conservative MP for Cannock Chase, told the newspaper: "This sick merchandise tells you all you need to know about some in the union movement - baseless, cowardly and utterly devoid of morality. "Those anticipating and celebrating the death of an elderly lady and mainstream Western leader are simply beyond the pale." But Mr Hampton said: "Over the years we've sold hundreds of T-shirts." He added: "She is going to die some day. The fact of the matter is when she dies there will be people who come out and say what a good person she was. "But you ask many people in the regions of the country what they think and they are going to be appalled by the coverage." Mr Hampton, whose stall also includes a giant snakes and ladders board based on people's "inability" to escape poverty, said: "People will be saying that she was a good woman and ignore most of the things she did... "It isn't to everybody's taste and I appreciate that. But it's not about wishing anybody dead. It's not saying that. It's saying there will be a reaction when she dies. "Some people say she was wonderful and they should be giving her a state funeral, but vast swathes will say there should not be." He added: "In the spirit of Margaret Thatcher, I'm showing some entrepreneurial flair." Dan Hodges, a former union official who writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph, said the T-shirts were "cowardly" and "utterly devoid of any morality" and should be withdrawn from sale. The lexicographer selected surreal - which means "unbelievable, fantastic" - after spikes in searches following terrorist attacks and the US election. The attacks in Brussels, the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the attempted coup in Turkey all saw an increase in how often people searched for the word. But the single biggest spike in look-ups came the day after Donald Trump's election, said Merriam-Webster. "It just seems like one of those years," said Peter Sokolowski, the dictionary's editor at large. "Surreal" is also defined as meaning "marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream", according to Merriam Webster. It joins Oxford's "post-truth" and Dictionary.com's "xenophobia" as the top word of 2016. There were also smaller jumps in searches for the word after the death of Prince in April and the June shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. "Surreal" first emerged around 1924, when a group of European poets, artists and filmmakers founded the Surrealism movement, which focused on accessing the truths of the unconscious mind by breaking down rational thought. Merriam-Webster, which first began tracking search trends in 1996, found a similar search spike for the word after the 9/11 attacks, according to Mr Sokolowski. "We noticed the same thing after the Newtown shootings, after the Boston Marathon bombings, after Robin Williams' suicide," Mr Sokolowski said. "Surreal has become this sort of word that people seek in moments of great shock and tragedy." Other words that made the cut for top searches in 2016 are "bigly", a term attributed to President-elect Donald Trump, and "deplorable", which Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton used to describe Trump supporters. Prosecutors say Abdoullah C was contacted by the cousin of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud soon after the 13 November attacks. Both Abaaoud, a Belgian national, and his cousin Hasna Aitboulahcen died five days later when police raided a flat near Paris where they were barricaded. The suicide bombings and mass shootings were France's deadliest-ever attacks. Few details have been released about the alleged role played by Abdoullah C, who is reported to have been arrested in a low-key operation in Brussels on Tuesday. Police did not immediately announce his arrest in order to avoid alerting potential accomplices, a spokesman said. He appeared before a Brussels court on Thursday but his case was postponed, local media say. Several phone calls were made between the suspect and Hasna Aitboulahcen "after the terrorist attacks and before the Seine-Saint-Denis raid", the Belgian prosecutor's spokesman said. A decision on extending his detention was due to take place on Thursday. Abdoullah C appeared in court alongside another suspect, Abraimi Lazez, according to reports. Lazez, 39, a Belgian of Moroccan descent, was arrested last month in the Belgian town of Laeken and is suspected of helping key suspect Salah Abdeslam flee France. Police found two guns and traces of blood in a car connected to Mr Lazez but determined that the blood did not belong to Abdeslam and neither of the guns was capable of firing live ammunition. Police are still searching for Mr Abdeslam, 26. They believe he took part in the 13 November attacks before contacting friends in Belgium to drive him back over the border to Brussels. Despite a series of raids, police have failed to find him. French police have conducted thousands of raids in connection with the Paris attacks. Hundreds of people have been placed under house arrest across France. Thirty-one of the suspects are in custody while the others are still at large. More than 70 people died in suicide attacks against churches in Cairo in December and in the cities of Tanta and Alexandria in April. IS said it carried out the bombings. In a statement on Sunday, public prosecutor Nabil Sadek said some of the suspects were leaders within IS and had formed cells in Cairo and the southern province of Qena to carry out the church attacks. He said the militants were also responsible for killing eight police officers at a checkpoint in Egypt's Western Desert in January. The attack in December killed 29 people at Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church in central Cairo, close to the headquarters of Coptic Pope Tawadros II. In April, 45 worshippers celebrating Palm Sunday died in attacks at St George's Coptic church in Tanta and St Mark's in Alexandria. IS has threatened more attacks on Egypt's Coptic Christians, who make up 10% of the population. Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi announced a three-month state of emergency after the attacks in April. The Coptic Orthodox Church is the main Christian Church in Egypt. While most Copts live in Egypt, the Church has about a million members outside the country. Copts believe that their Church dates back to around 50 AD, when the Apostle Mark is said to have visited Egypt. The head of the Church is called the Pope and is considered to be the successor of St Mark. This makes it one of the earliest Christian groups outside the Holy Land. The Church separated from other Christian denominations at the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) in a dispute over the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ. The early Church suffered persecution under the Roman Empire, and there were intermittent persecutions after Egypt became a Muslim country. Many believe that continues to this day. More about the Coptic Orthodox Church Peter Moore, 28, from Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire, fatally stabbed 25-year-old Derek Moore at the flat in Glasgow's Govan area on 3 January. The victim was stabbed four times and had a total of 75 injuries to his body. At the High Court in Glasgow, Moore was told that he must serve a minimum of 18-and-a-half years before he can apply for parole. Jailing him, judge Lady Wolffe told Moore: "You stand convicted of the murder of your own brother in the house of your mother. "In convicting you the jury rejected your defence of self defence." Lady Wolffe told Moore that although his brother was initially the aggressor by punching him, he had used a knife on him as he lay on the ground. The court previously heard that Derek Moore suffered 70 wounds - many of them defensive. He was stabbed four times and the fatal wound which caused massive internal bleeding was to his abdomen. The court heard that a trail of blood leading from the flat to the common close was consistent with Derek Moore having been dragged out of the house and on to a downstairs landing. Lady Wolffe told Moore: "You left him there to die. This was a prolonged and vicious attack. "The crime of murder is a most egregious crime. You have doubly punished your family." Moore's trial heard that on a previous occasion Derek Moore had broken his brother's jaw. That fight took place in front of a six-year-old boy, who was also present at the early stages of the fatal fight before being taken away by his mother. Peter Moore's partner Ashley Picken, 24, told of how she was woken up by the sound of the brothers arguing and fighting. When asked how Derek Moore had been earlier that night she replied: "He was angry." She told prosecutor Paul Kearney: "I looked out into the hallway and I saw Peter standing over Derek with a knife in his hand hitting Derek. He was hitting Derek in the legs and the side of his body with the knife. "Derek was lying down on the floor on his back." Moore later told police: "When we fight, we fight for hours. I can't remember arguing with him. He's pure evil when he's been drinking. He started it." He also said: "I said I wasn't going to fight with him again." Moore, who has a number of previous convictions, including some for violence, did not give evidence during the trial. Plans for a 32-cell custody suite at Llay, Wrexham, have been submitted to Wrexham council. The new station would be energy efficient with solar panels on the roof and energy-saving lighting. North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Winston Roddick said the town's current station was "no longer fit for purpose" and the new station would be "more economical". It was suspended after the Wales Audit Office began what was its most complex ever investigation. I set out the details in Week In Week Out. The £30m which has sat in the bank account will now be spent directly by ministers in the field of regeneration. Remove the money and you remove the point of RIFW's existence, although that has yet to be confirmed by the Welsh government. The political fallout will roll into the autumn, when the public accounts committee at the assembly begins its inquiry into what went wrong at the fund. There was plenty of criticism of the Welsh government in the report, but from a ministerial perspective there was no smoking gun. The length of time it took to develop the idea, and then implement RIFW, makes it difficult for critics, led by the Conservatives, to maintain political pressure on any one individual. But the thrust of the criticism from the Tories is serious for the Welsh government. The accusation is that at a time of complaints about the financial settlement from Westminster by Labour Welsh government ministers, this was an example of a failure by those very same ministers to maximise the assets under their control. It would be serious at the best of times but at a time of austerity, even more so. There are some key questions for the public accounts committee to try to get to the bottom of. Among them will be to hear from senior government officials and advisors about why key information was not passed on to the board, such as the true market value of the sites and the true time-scale that needed to be followed. It's also a striking feature of this story that after three years, no-one can actually say with any degree of certainty how much the taxpayer will receive as a result of the deal. In terms of the legacy of RIFW, it will probably become less likely that the Welsh government will set up new semi-autonomous bodies to deliver transport or economic development policies in future. There's no shortage of task and finish groups and advisory panels but the RIFW experience is likely to mean that they remain exactly that, advice groups, rather than bodies with budgets. The Great Bear Rainforest on the Pacific coast of British Columbia is home to many animals and ancient trees. Logging will be banned across a huge area of the forest. Environmental campaigners say the deal is a model for resolving similar land-use disputes around the world. The forest is inhabited by the spirit bear, a rare sub-species of the black bear with white fur, and is also home to 26 aboriginal groups, known as First Nations. "The Great Bear Rainforest, there's no question, it's a jewel in the crown of magnificent landscapes in British Columbia," Premier Christy Clark said on Monday. She said the "landmark agreement" would protect old and second-growth forest, while simultaneously providing economic opportunities for aboriginal people and local communities. The province is expected to sign the new measures - which have been drafted after 10 years of often tense negotiations between the various concerned parties - into law in the spring. The agreement bans logging in 85% of the rainforest and brings an end to hunting of the grizzly bear within First Nations territories. It also abolishes hunting in the region for the spirit bear, also known as the kermode bear. The remaining 15% of the ancient forest will be subject to stringent standards applied elsewhere in North America for commercial logging. The deal has been ratified by 26 aboriginal tribes that live alongside British Columbia's coast, several environmental groups and five forestry companies. How salmon keep the forest thriving Parents with children at Hunters Bar Junior School were sent a letter telling them a girl in Year 5 had died on Tuesday. The letter said the probable cause was the meningococcal bacteria, which can cause meningitis. Head teacher Jill Hallsworth said the child had a "beautiful personality... she was special and will be missed". People likely to have been in closest contact with her have been identified and offered antibiotics. Ms Hallsworth said: "We are all just so sad that a member of our school community has died but we are taking a lot of time to remember her beautiful personality. "She was a genuinely good person and helped everyone she could. She was special and will be missed. Our thoughts are very much with the family at this difficult time." A Sheffield City Council statement said: "We are working with the school community to support them during this difficult time and our deepest thoughts are with the child's family and loved ones." Meningitis symptoms Source: Meningitis Now Carl Marsh suffered fatal injuries at Black Knights Parachute Centre in Cockerham, near Lancaster, on Saturday. Paramedics were called to the site but the 46-year-old from Knutsford, Cheshire, was pronounced dead. Lancashire Police and the British Parachute Association are investigating but there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances. Mr Marsh's relatives released a statement paying tribute to the "much-loved" family man. They added: "Carl was taken away from us so suddenly that this just doesn't feel real. "His enormous heart was big enough for every one of us and he lived life to the full. "He was a leader and admired by so many, and his son Craig says he was his hero." Det Insp Simon Ball said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of this man and in particular those who witnessed this tragic incident yesterday. "During our initial investigation at the scene, we saw nothing that suggested any sign of suspicious activity. "We are working with the British Parachute Association who are now in charge of investigating the incident, and have been conducting enquiries on their behalf." Dancers from the Rirratjingu clan, carrying clap sticks and spears, their faces painted white, performed outside parliament in Canberra. The group urged action against a problem that disproportionately affects indigenous women. Aborigine women are 34 times more likely to be victims than other women. "We are seeing horrifying rates of family violence in indigenous communities and it is incumbent on all people - community leaders, political leaders and businesses - to act to drive it down," Rirratjingu elder Bakamumu Marika said. The group, which travelled from Yirrkala in the Northern Territory, were met by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. He linked arms with lawmakers of various parties, including opposition leader Bill Shorten, as a sign of solidarity. First Aboriginal woman MP makes history Violence amid a life of luxury Speaking afterwards, Mr Turnbull highlighted stark figures which show the scale of the problem, including that indigenous women were admitted to hospital for domestic assaults 30 times more often than other Australian women. However, the community around Yirrkala had reduced family violence by 29% in a single year through programmes aimed at fostering respect for women, Mr Turnbull added. "Your dance is more powerful than the words we can speak here," Mr Turnbull said. "You're using the strength of your culture to seek to stop this violence. "You're using the power of you dance, your tradition, your culture, to communicate our need, our duty to respect women, and we thank you." He concluded: "We can and we must do better." Mr Turnbull later moved a motion in Parliament acknowledging that violence against women was a national issue that required a response from the entire community, as the Rirratjingu people watched from the public gallery. Recorder Jason Dunn-Shaw, of Maidstone Chambers in Kent, is understood to have called one man a "donkey" and others "narrow-minded and bigoted". He also accused others of commenting "without thinking things through". Mr Dunn-Shaw told KentOnline - the site where the comments were posted - he was "dismayed" he had been sacked. Dunn-Shaw was commenting on news stories relating to a case for which he was sitting as a judge at Canterbury Crown Court, and another for which he was a barrister. The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) said his behaviour was "below standard". The judge told the BBC he would be appealing to the Ombudsman "to complain about the procedure, which to my mind was flawed and unfair". In quotes to KentOnline, he said the JCOI accepted his comments were made under a pseudonym. He added: "Their other condemnation is of comments I made on the pages of Facebook friends which I believed to have been private. "It seems to me unfair that the tracking of anonymous material places me where I am now." Mr Dunn-Shaw - who has experience in both prosecution and defence - has worked on more than 45 murder trials during his career, as well as death by dangerous driving, drugs smuggling, sexual offences and fraud. A spokesman for the JCIO said: "In his own name he used publicly available social media sites to post material or not remove material which was not compatible with the dignity of judicial office or suggested a lack of impartiality on matters of public controversy. "The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice concluded that this behaviour fell below the standard expected of a judicial office holder and have removed Mr Dunn-Shaw from judicial office." Ballynafeigh Police Station was closed on 21 February and people are now asked to attend Musgrave Street or Lisburn Road stations, except in emergency. The closure came despite extensive work to renovate the building. Police have said that they released a press statement about the station's closure in January this year. A spokesperson added that the enquiry offices at the stations had been replaced with "user-friendly and conveniently located community surgeries". A number of shop owners in the area said they had been robbed in recent weeks and were not happy with the station's closure to the public. "I think we should have been informed," local pharmacist Gary Jones said. "The fact that there are these lovely walls and there is nobody behind them seems like a waste of taxpayers' money." Mr Smith said he would be a loyal MP but did not want to engage in "futile" work as Mr Corbyn could not win power. But Mr Corbyn told a hustings event in Gateshead that Labour had grown "enormously" under his leadership. The Court of Appeal is to rule later on whether recently-joined members will be allowed to vote in the contest. The party's ruling National Executive Committee had previously blocked Labour members who joined after 12 January from voting unless they paid £25. But five new members succeeded in getting the decision overturned in the High Court earlier this week - Labour subsequently appealed against that decision. On Thursday evening, Smith and Corbyn clashed over Brexit but found some agreement on other policies. The hustings in Gateshead, hosted by Sky's Sophy Ridge, was plunged into darkness for a minute as the rivals debated the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system. Former work and pensions spokesman Mr Smith is challenging Mr Corbyn for Labour's top job, after the leader lost a no-confidence vote of his MPs. Many of his own MPs felt Mr Corbyn, who won a landslide victory to become Labour leader last year, had not campaigned vigorously enough for a "Remain" vote in the EU Referendum. Mr Smith was among dozens of Labour MPs to resign from Mr Corbyn's front bench in protest at his leadership. At the hustings, Mr Corbyn said he had been "shocked and disappointed" by the referendum result but added: "We now have to face the facts - the country voted for a Leave decision in that referendum." He said Britain must now ensure workers' rights, human rights, environmental protection and access to European markets were protected. But Mr Smith said he believed Labour had "not fought anywhere near hard enough" to speak up for Europe and that the leadership shown by Mr Corbyn "was not sufficient". To boos from the audience, he told Mr Corbyn: "You never really bought into the idea of the European Union" and said there could be a case for a second referendum, if the deal on offer proved to be a bad one. Mr Corbyn told him: "I think we have to recognise that whatever we feel about it, there's a result from that referendum which we have to work with." There was passion and humour in the Labour hustings. At one point, the stage lights failed and the diminutive Owen Smith joked that he could now pass himself off as "the tall one". But any wise-cracking camaraderie evaporated when the discussion moved on to what would happen after the leadership election. Jeremy Corbyn appealed to Labour MPs to get "back on board" and pledged to create a shadow cabinet of all the talents But that option may not be open to him. While Owen Smith said he'd have the current leader on his front bench, he made it clear he would not serve in a shadow cabinet led by Jeremy Corbyn. Owen Smith's position is significant because if he now believes it would be pointless to return to a Jeremy Corbyn frontbench then many others in the Parliamentary party who backed a motion of no confidence in their leader are likely to agree. So Labour's internal strife could continue long after the leadership election is over. Following discussions about Britain's Trident nuclear weapons, gender inequality, the NHS and economic policy, Mr Corbyn was asked if he would serve in the shadow cabinet, should he lose the leadership contest to Mr Smith. Mr Corbyn said he did not think it was likely Mr Smith would offer me anything." He pledged to make sure the "political spectrum" within the party was represented in his shadow cabinet. Mr Smith told him "I would absolutely want you to be in the shadow cabinet if I was leader". When asked if that meant he was "going to come back" to the shadow cabinet, Mr Smith replied: "No, I've lost confidence in you. I will serve Labour on the backbenches, because I'm Labour to my bones... But I would serve this party on the backbenches loyally. I won't do what Jeremy Corbyn did and won't vote against this party, my party, 500 times. Mr Corbyn said that was "genuinely disappointing to me" as he had been pleased when Mr Smith became shadow work and pensions secretary last year: "I would've thought you would want to continue that kind of work." Mr Smith replied: "I do, Jeremy, but I don't want it to be fruitless, futile work. I want it to be work that is leading to a Labour government that allows me to put into practice what I want to preach to the country. I don't want to be engaged in a protest movement talking to itself." He said Labour was at 26% in the polls, its lowest point since 1982, and Mr Corbyn "cannot lead us back to power". But Mr Corbyn, who was cheered several times during the event, told him: "Since the election last summer our party has grown enormously, 300,000 new members have joined because they want to see this country governed and run in a different way. "And that has had an effect, we've had victories in Parliament, we've had election victories in by-elections, council elections and mayoral elections and our party has to adapt to a new way of working, we are now such a large organisation we've got to be and should be and must be involved in every single community in this country." He said shadow chancellor John McDonnell had put together an economic strategy and analysis and said: "I say to all members of the Parliamentary Labour Party: Let's get on board and get together and put it to the Tories." The Labour leadership contest result will be announced on 24 September. The union said MV Daroja workers were paid £2.56 per hour on freight routes between Aberdeen and Orkney and Shetland in January. The RMT said the situation was a "disgrace" and called for action. Streamline Shipping said it had been assured that terms and conditions offered were "entirely compatible" with all legislation. The company said MV Daroja was "fully EU compliant". The girls, who all attended Bethnal Green Academy in Tower Hamlets, travelled to Turkey on Tuesday. They told their parents they were going for a day out but Gatwick airport CCTV shows them passing through security. The three families have released statements, saying they are "extremely worried" about the girls. We miss you terribly and are extremely worried about you. Please, if you hear this message, get in touch and let us know you are safe. We want you home with us. You belong at home with us. Syria is a dangerous place and we don't want you to go there. Get in touch with the police and they will help to bring you home. You are not in any trouble. We understand that you have strong feelings and want to help those you believe are suffering in Syria. You can help from home, you don't have to put yourself in danger. Please don't cross the border. Please come home to us. Our mum needs you home and is really worried. We are not mad at you, we love you. Our dearest Kadiza and the two friends accompanying you, we, together, sincerely pray and hope this message reaches you. We pray that no harm comes to you, and you are all safe and in good health. We have come to learn that you and your friends went missing on Tuesday, 17 February and have been identified to be in Turkey. In your absence, we, as a family, are feeling completely distressed and cannot make sense of why you left home. Due to the speculation that you may be travelling towards Syria, we are extremely worried about your safety. As time progresses, our concerns are increasing more and more. We are sending you our heartfelt love, and continue to pray that you along with your friends safely return to us, or at least contact us to let us know you are okay. We all love you dearly and the last four days have been a complete nightmare not knowing where you are and how you are keeping. We would like to emphasise that we are not angry with you and you have not done anything wrong. We just want you all to return home, safe and sound. We miss you terribly, especially mum, and things have not been the same without you. Amira, We miss you so much, everyone, your family and your friends. We want you to come home as soon as possible. All we are hoping for is you to come home safe, we love you so much. Please come home Amira, everyone is missing you. You are strong, smart, beautiful and we are hoping you will make the right decision. We miss you more that you can imagine. We are worried and we want you to think about what you have left behind. You had a bright future, so please return home. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Chris Hazzard made the statement after local residents said they feared human error or equipment failure could lead to a cyanide spill. The claim has been rejected by the company. No planning application has yet been submitted but is expected to be put in early next year. The chemical is used in part of the processing system but Dalriadian, the company planning the mine said it will be heavily regulated and does not pose a risk to the public or the environment. Some people living near the proposed facility remain vehemently opposed. Patrick Anderson, the chief executive of Dalradian, said he would welcome a public inquiry. "I think it would be a further forum to engage locally and hear more fully what the complaints and the support is for the project so you could have a more informed decision for the minister when it comes to deciding whether to grant planning permission or not," he said. Dalradian had said it can get millions of ounces of gold from the Sperrins over the 25-year life of the mine, creating hundreds of jobs in construction and operation. The minister added that his department had been in meetings with Dalradian over the last year as part of "pre-application discussions to scope the extent of information that will be needed should they decide to submit a planning application for the proposal". "It is already clear that the planning application, if submitted, will be both complex and controversial involving a wide range of views and in depth information to assess the potential socio-economic and environmental impacts, both positive and negative, of the proposed development," Mr Hazzard said. The announcement has been welcomed by Sinn Féin MLA Declan McAleer. "The proposal is only 1,200 metres from the local primary school and GAA ground and there is a real concern in the local area about the lack of public consultation in Greencastle village, which would have made it more accessible for local people. "Hopefully, this move by the minister will allow people to get answers to their questions and to voice their concerns," he said. A planning application will be lodged in 2017 if a feasibility study proves the project is economically viable. The company said it would have between five and 20 tonnes of cyanide on site at any time with at least one delivery a week. A diluted cyanide solution will be used to separate tiny gold particles from a portion of the crushed ore. It will be transported and stored in solid briquettes in which form it is inert. A number of groups have been set up to oppose the plan. The Save Our Sperrins group said it is worried about potential water and air pollution. However, Dalradian said the use of cyanide will be heavily regulated. The company said the 10% of crushed ore that is treated with it will go through a final process to destroy most of the cyanide. It will then be pumped back underground in the form of a cement paste to backfill the blast holes. It claims that paste will contain only "trace" amounts of the toxin and that there would be more naturally-occurring cyanide in "a handful of chewed almonds". Mr Pataki, who served as governor from 1995 to 2006, is positioning himself as a moderate in a heavily conservative field. He joins seven other Republicans who have announced their campaigns, and several others who are expected to announce in the coming weeks. After leaving the governor's office, he served as a UN delegate. Mr Pataki launched a fundraising "super-Pac" earlier this year - a standard move for a politician considering running for America's highest office. But his campaign was officially kicked off in a video posted to his website on Thursday morning. In the video, titled George Pataki For President, he played up his role as a Republican governor in a state dominated by Democrats. "Washington has grown too big, too powerful, too expensive and too intrusive," he said. "This is exactly what the founding fathers feared...It is time to stand up, protect our freedom and take back this government". Amid thumping music, the campaign video pointed to his leadership during the attacks of 11 September 2001, and stressed that he would be a unifying candidate. Since leaving elected office in the middle of the last decade, Mr Pataki has struck a moderate tone in the news media. Could a former Republican governor from a large state who hasn't held public office in more than eight years have a shot at winning the Republican presidential nomination in 2016? If the man's last name is Bush, the answer is yes. If it's Pataki, the odds are significantly longer. So why does Jeb Bush of Florida consistently sit near the top of polls and dominate campaign fundraising, while George Pataki - the man who, along with Mayor Rudy Giuliani, became the face of New York's response to the September 11 attacks - barely move the needle? There's the name, of course. But it's also likely the fact that Mr Pataki is part of a dying breed of Northeast Republican moderates who blend fiscal conservatism with social positions closer to those of the political left. He's in favour of same-sex marriage, supports legalised abortions and backs robust environmental regulation, for instance. Once upon a time candidates with these kinds of views were a force in the Republican Party. Those days are long past, however. In recent months, he has criticised so-called Religious Freedom bills that many conservative Republicans support. He has also been critical of of Republican lawmakers who wrote to Iranian leaders while the Obama Administration was negotiating Iran's nuclear programme. He called their actions "inappropriate". Mr Pataki made his first public appearance as a candidate later on Thursday when he spoke in Exeter, New Hampshire. Experts collected DNA samples from the crash site, which will now be tested to verify passengers' identities. An access road to the site in the French Alps has also been completed to speed up the recovery of remains. Meanwhile, Lufthansa has put aside an additional $300m (€280m; £200m) to cover costs associated with the crash. Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said the money would cover "all costs arising in connection with the case". Germany says that the cash is separate from the €50,000 ($54,250; £36,720) available to the relatives of each passenger to cover short-term expenses. Airlines are obliged to compensate relatives for proven damages of up to a limit of about $157,000 (€135,000; £145,000), regardless of what caused the crash. Higher compensation is possible if an airline is held liable. None of the victims were found intact after the plane's 700kph (430mph) impact, but different strands of DNA have been identified at the site. Earlier on Tuesday, the head of the criminal research institute at France's National Gendarmerie was reported as saying that DNA identification of the victims would take two to four months. But Mr Hollande said the French interior minister had confirmed that the process would be completed "by the end of the week at the latest". Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Mr Hollande said "exceptional scientific work" had been carried out by the recovery team. Germanwings 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 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz flew into a mountainside deliberately after locking pilot Patrick Sondenheimer out of the cockpit. All 150 people on board the aircraft were killed. Rescuers have warned the operation to remove their remains could take several months, but the access road would "accelerate the work", said Philippe Sansa of the rescue service. "It will be much easier not to have to depend on the weather," he told the Associated Press news agency. Andreas Lubitz: Germanwings co-pilot Who was Andreas Lubitz? On Monday it emerged that Lubitz, 27, had at one point received treatment for suicidal tendencies before getting his pilot licence. Lufthansa says that Lubitz's medical records were subject to doctor-patient confidentiality and it had no knowledge of their contents. The company has announced it has cancelled plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary on 15 April. On 17 April, the airline will broadcast live coverage of a state memorial service at Cologne Cathedral. 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. Unanswered questions What drives people to murder-suicide?

Amanda Hardie was living in Inverness at the time of the alleged offences. She now lives in East Kilbride. Between January 2012 and February 2014, Ms Hardie, 30, was alleged to have left her son Clyde for prolonged periods unattended. She has also been accused of failing to provide him with adequate food and fluids. She denies the accusations. Other allegations Ms Hardie faces include causing Clyde to be exposed to electrical fire and chemical hazards and allowing their home to become dirty and strewn with domestic, human and animal waste. The charges also allege that she failed to bathe and clothe him adequately and allowed his clothing to become dirty and malodorous, and failing to change his nappy so it became excessively filled with urine and faeces. Appearing at Inverness Sheriff Court, Ms Hardie denied the charges. Trial was fixed for 21 March. The question will be: "Do you want Catalonia to be an independent state in the form of a republic?" Spain is currently a constitutional monarchy, and Catalonia is one of its wealthiest regions. Surveys suggest Catalan voters would narrowly reject independence, though most favour holding a referendum. The central government in Madrid has repeatedly stressed that secession would violate the constitution. It is not clear if the referendum will go ahead. In November 2014 Catalonia held a non-binding vote, called a "consultation", in which 80% of those who cast ballots backed independence. However, just 2.3 million out of 6.3 million eligible voters took part. Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled it illegal. But the secessionists viewed it as a defining moment. In 2015, Catalan nationalist parties won an absolute majority in the 135-seat regional assembly and voted to start the process towards independence. A 53-year-old woman from Abergavenny and a 45-year-old man from Powys were arrested earlier this month, West Mercia Police confirmed. It follows the arrest of three people in June over alleged animal cruelty at South Herefordshire Hunt. Police are examining footage from anti-hunt activists appearing to show foxes taken to the site to be killed. More on this and other stories from Hereford and Worcester A spokesman for the force said all five had been bailed until September while officers continue their investigation. Once a 100-tonne crane has lowered them into place the barrage will be drained so engineers can inspect its four massive "fish belly" gates. Workers from the Canal and River Trust will then carry out necessary repairs. When construction began 20 years ago, Stockton's Tees Barrage was considered the largest civil engineering project in the UK. It opened in 1995 and as well as controlling the flow of the river and preventing flooding it is also used for leisure activities including water-skiing, windsurfing and white water rafting. A public open day for people to find out more about the works will be held on 22 August. The Lock - one of a small group of landscapes known as the Six-Footers - will be put up for sale in December by Sotheby's auction house. The painting of a bucolic scene on the River Stour in Suffolk is estimated to be worth £8-12m. It was treasured by the artist who kept it in his studio until his death in 1837. The picture is one of two versions of the celebrated painting, and the one that the artist retained himself and exhibited throughout his career Julian Gascoigne, Sotheby's senior British pictures specialist, said: "Constable's absolute mastery as a landscape painter is everywhere in this picture - in the vigour of the almost impressionistic brushwork, in the drama of the clouds and the changing weather, even in the movement of the grass in the fields and the sparkle of water as it cascades through the lock. "It is one of those pictures that captivates, and the more one looks, the more one sees." The painting will be exhibited in Hong Kong, New York and Los Angeles, before leading the Old Master & British Paintings Sale on 9 December. It comes after a pupil was attacked with a knife at Worle Community School in March, followed by head teacher Peter Binding being given leave with no stated return date. The school in Weston-super-Mare - rated inadequate - also has areas pupils feel are no-go zones and high truancy rates. North Somerset Council said the school will be run by an academy to improve. The report said: "There are some areas of the school site where pupils say they do not feel safe, and as a result they stay in central areas at break - and lunchtime. "This is because at these times some areas, particularly the school field, are dominated by groups of mainly boys, who are confrontational and do not respond quickly when challenged by staff." Inspectors were also concerned about "inadequate" progress in maths and low expectations of some disabled, special educational needs and disadvantaged pupils. School governors were also criticised for failing to hold the school's leaders to account. Several points were made to address the issue, through calling in the local authority to review safeguarding, train and support teachers to deal with poor behaviour and "rapidly raise achievement" particularly in maths, for special needs and disadvantaged pupils. The council said it was aware of the problems there, but the rate of progress was "not fast enough". The school will be managed by North Somerset Priory Community School, an outstanding Academy Trust (PCSA) from Monday. PCSA's head teacher, Neville Coles said he wanted to address "key areas" and get a more supportive environment in place, with "respect and courtesy" at the forefront. Jeans and trainers are also being banned, in favour of a "spot-on" uniform. The school has been rated as good in its previous June 2014 inspection. The trial has received widespread coverage here and has often been front page news. The verdict came too late for the most of the Australian newspapers but the tabloid Sydney Daily Telegraph ran with a simple one word headline "GUILTY." Although Harris left Australia for England in 1952, he now faces the possibility of further charges being brought here. During the trial several Australian women came forward alleging that Harris molested them during return visits to his country of birth. Two radio presenters say Harris groped them following interviews. Verity James, a radio host in Perth says Harris assaulted her following an interview in 2000. She says the man she calls "the octopus" pushed her up against a wall, grabbed her buttocks and rubbed her breasts. A second journalist Jane Marwick alleges she was groped as she posed for a photograph with Harris after an interview in 2001. Neither woman has said whether they will press charges here. One Australian woman Tonya Lee, who waived her right to anonymity, was one of those who took the case to trial in the UK. She told the court Harris assaulted her on a "dream" trip to London with a youth theatre group in 1986. She said Harris invited her to sit on his knee in a pub then sexually abused her. She says he then attacked her again outside the pub bathroom. For older Australians Harris was one of the country's best known exports, a household name. Despite living in the UK, he was a regular face on Australian television during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. He was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association's Hall of Fame. Until last year his famous musical wobble board sat in Australia's National Museum in Canberra. But many of the younger generation will tell you, until this case, they'd never heard of him. Rolf Harris was born in the Perth suburb of Bassendean in 1930. His parents had emigrated to Australia from Wales. "The boy from Bassendean", as he was known, is honoured with a plaque inlaid into one of the city's footpaths. There are now plans to dig it up. That "boy" has now been labelled a "sinister pervert" by the prosecution. He caused controversy in Australia in 2008 after he said Aboriginals should stop "complaining about poverty" and "get off their arse" to "clean up the streets." But generally, until this case, Harris's image had been squeaky clean. A poll taken in the Australian Reader's Digest before this case emerged listed him as among the country's top hundred most trusted people. Few will trust him now. The city's culture chief is leading calls for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe to be held earlier in the summer. Speaking to The Scotsman, Donald Wilson suggested the festivals should fully coincide with Scottish school holidays. But organisers of the Fringe said moving the dates could prevent children attending with their schools. Mr Wilson also called for shows and performances to be held in venues beyond the city centre. The move could broaden and deepen the festivals' appeal among city residents, the City of Edinburgh Council's culture convenor added. His comments come as festival season gets under way in Edinburgh, with thousands of visitors expected to descend on the city during August. Children in the capital are due to return to school for the autumn term in less than two weeks. Mr Wilson told the newspaper that the prospect of changing the dates of the festival was "definitely worth looking at". "If we're talking about increasing participation in the festivals, to have the holidays coincide with them would actually increase that sense of ownership of them," he said. "It's not just families who would find it easier. I think teachers and school staff would as well. "I've had a lot of letters about this over the last few years saying it would be better for the Festival to be aligned with the school holidays. "We have to look at widening things out geographically but it is also about deepening their appeal. "We have events and festivals that are primarily of interest to visitors to the city but we have to make sure we're paying enough attention to the citizens of Edinburgh. "We need to make sure we have the breadth of appeal that takes into account participation as well as performance. "We need to make sure festivals and events are something people feel proud of." His comments echo those of MP Tommy Sheppard, a former director of the Fringe Society and founder of The Stand comedy club. Speaking at the Fringe Society two years ago, he said there was a marked drop in audiences after the school holidays. "I just don't see any downside to a change of dates," he said. "I just think nobody has thought about it." Shona McCarthy, the chief executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, said some children visit the festivals with schools and community groups. "The Fringe dates have been the same since the mid-1990s, each year ending on the August Monday bank holiday," she said. "Dates are set in consultation with the participants, venues and promoters that make the festival happen every year and this will continue to be the case. "While many children are introduced to the arts through their parents and families, we shouldn't assume that all children access the arts this way. "Schools and community groups also play a key role in making that introduction and moving the dates to be exclusively within the school holidays could potentially limit access to the Fringe for some children." A spokeswoman for the International Festival said: 'We are completely committed to ensuring that our local young people are able to derive maximum benefit from having the International Festival on their doorstep, and this an important discussion to have. "Around 60% of the International Festival's ticket buyers live in Edinburgh and the Lothians and our year round programme of work in Edinburgh's schools reaches thousands of young people every year. "We are always looking to extend our reach and believe that dates which straddle both the school holidays - when parents can bring their children to events - and term time, which enables us to reach local young people through their schools, offer the best route to doing that."

Sunrise, marking the longest day of the year north of the equator, occurred over the circle at 0452 BST. The Heel Stone, just outside the main circle, aligns with the rising sun. Peter Carson from English Heritage said: "It has been quieter this year but it's been a great solstice. "It's an improvement on the last few years - the last time I remember seeing the sun rise was in 2003 - so it's great to see the sun has put in an appearance. "This year there are about 20,000 people and last year it was about 35,000 - so that is quite a bit down which has meant the operation is a lot easier. " He said two years ago the solstice happened early on a Saturday and about 30,000 people attended. He added: "I think the days of the week do make a considerable difference to the number of people who come along - this year it's a Monday morning. "The people who are streaming out now - a lot of them are going to work." Victoria Campbell, 29, was among those marking the solstice. She said: "It means a lot to us...being British and following our pagan roots." The Londoner, who works in the finance industry, added "getting away from the city" was a major draw. On Sunday police chiefs said they had planned for "all eventualities" ahead of the event. Last year a record 36,500 revellers attended, causing traffic chaos and road closures. EU officials said the commission had legal backing to use the fund for loans of 12bn euros which could be given to Greece in the coming weeks. The final decision will be made by a qualified majority of EU countries, which means the UK could be outvoted. But Chancellor George Osborne said the eurozone should "foot its own bill". The debate relates to the European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSM) which is a fund to support any of the 28 EU member states in financial difficulty. It is funded by borrowing against the EU budget, to which the UK contributes. The voting rules mean 15 countries representing 65% of the EU population would have to support using the fund - so the UK and the Czech Republic, which also objected, could be outvoted by the likes of France, which is in favour. BBC Europe Correspondent Chris Morris said it was "certainly possible" that the fund would be invoked and there was "not much" the British government could do about it. Prime Minister David Cameron said in 2010 he had won a "clear and unanimous agreement" that the EFSM would not be used for further eurozone bailouts, after it was used to assist Ireland and Portugal. Instead, responsibility was meant to fall on member states using the single currency. But a commission source told BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris the 2010 agreement would not apply in this case, and that the fund could be used to provide bridge financing for about four weeks until a new permanent bailout for Greece could be fully negotiated. Britain would be liable for roughly 15% of any request - in the form of a guarantee rather than a hard cash transfer, he said. Downing Street said there was no proposal at the EU finance ministers' meeting for the EFSM to be used. A source close to the chancellor told BBC political correspondent Chris Mason the British government was "immovable on the key principle" that "British taxpayers won't contribute to Eurozone bailouts". When pushed about the prospect of the UK losing such a vote, he was told "we will cross that bridge when we come to it". Speaking as he arrived in Brussels, Mr Osborne said: "It's in the interests of economic stability across Europe that this Greek deal is now signed and sealed. "But let me be very clear. Britain is not in the euro, so the idea that British taxpayers are going to be on the line for this Greek deal is a complete non-starter. The eurozone needs to foot its own bill." Howell was the club's leading wicket-taker in the T20 Blast this summer, with 24 at an average of 16.04. The 28-year-old will join up with Bangladesh Premier League side Khulna Titans in November, despite warnings about the security of western players. "We are a club on the up and I want to be a part of that," he said. "I love playing with this group of players and I believe we can win more trophies together." It said pre-tax profits for the year to the end of March were £267m compared with £400m a year earlier. Royal Mail chief executive Moya Greene said: "We have delivered a resilient performance in challenging markets." UK revenue fell 1% to £7.6bn from £7.7bn a year earlier as letter volumes and revenue fell by 3% and 2%. UK parcel volumes grew 3%, but revenue was only 1% higher. Parcel volumes at Royal Mail's European division, GLS, grew 10% while revenues were up 9%. That helped total group revenue rise 1% to £9.2bn in the year. The company's preferred measure of profit - adjusted annual operating profits before transformation costs - rose 5% to £742m from £740m a year earlier. Transformation costs included 3,500 voluntary redundancies, which cost the business £117m in the year. Overall transformation costs rose to £191m in the year. Royal Mail said it reduced costs at its UK parcels division by 1%, while net debt fell to £224m. It added the fall in annual pre-tax profits was the result of last year's results being boosted by the profit on the sale of its Paddington depot in west London. He was struck by a dark-coloured Honda CRV car on Springboig Road, near Threestonehill Avenue, Shettleston, at about 11:15 on Saturday. The boy is in a stable condition in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The 45-year-old driver was uninjured. Police are trying to establish the circumstances surrounding the accident and have appealed for witnesses. In papers filed in Los Angeles, the 45-year-old cited irreconcilable differences and revealed the couple signed a prenuptial agreement. Sheen wants joint custody of their twin sons while his wife, who has also filed for divorce, wants sole custody. Both say in legal papers that they separated after an argument in Aspen, Colorado, on Christmas Day. A police report, released in August, stated Mueller feared for her life during the argument. Sheen was sentenced to 30 days at a rehabilitation centre after pleading guilty to assault. Last week, the actor was accused of causing damage to a hotel room in New York. After hotel security reported Sheen was disorderly, the actor voluntarily went with authorities for a psychiatric evaluation. However, Sheen's publicist said he went to hospital because he had "an adverse allergic reaction to some medication". Sheen's ex-wife, actress Denise Richards, was staying at the Plaza in a different room with their two children, Sam and Lola. Sheen and Richards divorced acrimoniously in 2006 after four years of marriage. It comes two days before German MPs are expected to vote in favour of military action against Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria. Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen has stressed that only six of the operational Tornado jets would be needed for the proposed mission. A vote on the UK's involvement takes place in parliament on Wednesday. Germany decided to join the fight against IS after an appeal by French President Francois Hollande in the wake of the 13 November Paris attacks. But the readiness of Germany's armed forces has long been the subject of criticism. "The state of our flying systems remains unsatisfactory," the German army's chief of staff General Volker Wieker was quoted as saying on Wednesday. The defence ministry report, obtained by German media, blamed the problem on the "lack of availability of various spare parts". Six Tornado reconnaissance aircraft, a naval frigate and a 1,200-strong force will be sent to Syria under the proposals backed by the German cabinet on Tuesday. The Bundestag is set to start debating the plans on Wednesday, with a vote expected on Friday. Speaking to German TV channel ARD (in German) on Wednesday, Defence Minister von der Leyen said: "Thirty Tornados are ready for action, and we need six of them. That gives us a wide margin." She stressed that any military operation against IS in Syria would be "long and dangerous". The latest defence ministry report showed Germany's air force capability further depleted from the year before, when 38 of 89 Tornado fighters were operational. Critics have accused the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) defence minister of neglecting important areas of military investment such as armour development. Last year she was forced to admit Germany's military equipment was in such poor repair that the country could not meet its Nato obligations. Technical problems grounded German military aircraft delivering weapons to Kurds fighting IS in northern Iraq and medical aid to West Africa during the Ebola outbreak. A YouGov opinion poll published on Tuesday showed 71% of people in Germany believed involvement in a mission against IS in Syria would raise the threat of attack in the country. However, 45% of Germans questioned backed military involvement and 39% were opposed. Until now, Germany's biggest foreign mission has been in Afghanistan, but that has gradually wound down to a force of just under 1,000. Some 700 German soldiers are also part of the Nato-led K-For operation to stabilise Kosovo. Father-of-two PC Dave Phillips, 34, died after he was hit by a pick-up truck in Wallasey, Wirral, in October. Clayton Williams, 19, denies murder and claims he did not intend to injure the Merseyside officer. Mr Williams had been driving a stolen Mitsubishi which hit the officer during a police pursuit, the court has heard. Read live updates on this story and more from across Merseyside. Jurors spent about an hour at the scene of the collision, on Wallasey Docks Link Road North. PC Phillips and his colleague, PC Thomas Birkett, 23, had been responding to reports of a burglary before the collision. They were attempting to stop the vehicle using a tyre-puncturing "stinger" device in Wallasey Docks Link Road North. Court officials, barristers and the judge also attended and watched how a stinger device may have been deployed in the circumstances. On Wednesday the court heard how the officer tried to run away moments before he was struck. PC Birkett told the court he could see the truck "gathering speed" like "a train coming down a tunnel" before it mounted the central reservation. The prosecution claims Mr Williams turned the vehicle to deliberately collide with PC Phillips, using the truck as "a murder weapon". The teenager has admitted a charge of burglary during which the truck was stolen, and aggravated vehicle taking. He denies murder, and also denies a second count of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to PC Birkett. The trial continues. The club have been up for sale for most of the season, following the revelation of Morgan's intentions in September. But long-serving Moxey told BBC WM: "We don't just want to sell to anybody. "Many of our older fans remember when this club nearly went out of business. We don't want a return to those days." He continued: "Despite what many people think there are not many people around with tens of millions that want to buy a football club. So many clubs are up for sale. So few get sold. "It requires someone, who will continue to run the club in a sensible, positive way without risking its future. This is a very precious, national sporting institution that stands for so many positive things, with its fantastic history and what it means to the people." "You can end up like Eddie Davies at Bolton," warned Moxey. "He has invested £175m, is no longer the owner, is not getting that money back and has taken all sorts of stick since Bolton were relegated out of the Premier League and now have been again out of the Championship. It can be a thankless task." Wolves found that out themselves when they were relegated from the Premier League in 2012 - and ended up falling all the way through to League One in the space of a year. After 18 months of managerial turmoil, they then found the right man to lead them back to the Championship in head coach Kenny Jackett - and Moxey said it helped having such a supportive owner as Morgan, who took over from club legend Sir Jack Hayward in 2007. "When you have an owner, you need to cherish them," he added. "The good ones are so few and far between. The next owner has got to carry on or improve on what Sir Jack Hayward and Steve Morgan have done." Moxey was speaking at Wolves' press launch to announce the new club's main sponsors, The Money Shop, the nationwide money-lending firm. They have been associated with the city since 2001, and the club for seven years, as sponsors of the 'home end', the Sir Jack Hayward Stand. The company have signed a three-year deal to become the new name on Wolves' shirts next season, but Moxey insisted it is the only deal that has been done so far. "There's nothing further to report," he said. "Other than that we're having conversations. People might hear rumours of me speaking with this person or seeing me in a meeting with that person. But, of course that's going on. My job is to find a new owner." Jex Moxey was talking to BBC WM's Mike Taylor. In reaching 32 on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand at Headingley, he overtook Gooch's mark of 8,900, which has stood since 1995. England captain Cook, 30, is playing his 114th Test, having made his debut in 2006. "It was an amazing moment, a personal one," the left-hander told BBC's Test Match Special. Cook stands 13th on the all-time list of Test run scorers, and only one current Test player - Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara - is ahead of him on a chart led by India great Sachin Tendulkar with 15,921 runs. Although Cook took lunch on 27, he scored only two runs in the first seven overs after the interval. A half-volley from Tim Southee gave him the chance to drive through point for four as he claimed the record held by batting coach and long-time mentor Gooch. Cook celebrated with a smile, a modest raise of the bat and a hug with opening partner Adam Lyth as the crowd gave him a lengthy standing ovation. He eventually fell for 75 midway through the evening session, lbw sweeping off-spinner Mark Craig, having added 177 with Lyth. "I haven't been nervous in the 20s before - I didn't want to fall four short," Cook told Test Match Special. "I've not heard from Goochie yet. I'm sure he's somewhere in Essex enjoying a glass of red wine but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him." Cook told Sky Sports: "I probably don't deserve to be there. "It is a huge battle to have longevity as a Test cricketer; it is an amazing journey. I'm delighted that today was a special day. "The last 18 months has been tough for me personally - that's part and parcel of being a batter. When you are in a bit of form, you have to make it count." BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew said: "It is a massive achievement for Alastair Cook to become England's all-time leading Test run scorer. He is only 30 and could play for four or five more years, notching another 40 or 50 Test matches and probably passing 11,000 runs." Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said: "I've always had admiration for Alastair Cook's batting. If you asked me who is the best opening batsman in the world today, no contest: Alastair Cook." "I don't think it's a big milestone in his life. What's more important to him is the hundreds he's got, the matches he's won, and the fact that he's now back in his best form." Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan said: "The most amazing thing about Alastair Cook's record is that he's only 30 years of age. "I don't think we talk enough in English sport about what Cook's talent really is: stubbornness, concentration, the ability to have a real strong game plan. What's he got in abundance is that inward talent - strength, character - more so than anyone else I played with." Former England batsman and team-mate Kevin Pietersen tweeted: "I was quoted a few years back saying he could break Sachin's record. At the age of 30, he still has a chance! Quite brilliant batsman! Well done, AC!" England bowler Steven Finn tweeted: "Exceptional effort from Cookie to break that record. Many many more to come too. Compliments to the chef!" The International Cricket Council also paid tribute to Cook, although it managed to spell his name wrong... 2006, Nagpur: Flown out to India from the West Indies as a late addition to the England Test squad, Cook scored 60 and 104 not out on his debut. 2010, The Oval: Facing calls to be dropped after scoring only 106 runs in eight innings, he hit 110 against Pakistan to book his place on the flight to Australia for the winter Ashes. 2010, Brisbane: Batted for 10 and a half hours in making 235 not out to help England save the first Ashes Test, a series in which he scored a record 766 runs at an average of 127.66. 2011, Edgbaston: Amassed 294, his highest first-class score as England beat India by an innings and 242 runs. 2012, Kolkata: Hit 190, his third century in successive Tests after taking over as permanent captain, to set England on their way to a historic 2-1 series win in India. Mils Muliaina, 34, who plays for the Connacht province in Ireland, was arrested following a match in Gloucester on Friday evening. Gloucestershire Police said a man in his thirties had been arrested at Kingsholm Stadium in relation to the assault in Cardiff. South Wales Police said a 34-year-old man was in their custody. The ex-All Black, who earned 100 caps during his nine years with the international side, was playing for Connaught against Cardiff Blues on 6 March. Connacht rugby club said in a statement: "Connacht Rugby can confirm that player Mils Muliaina is currently assisting the South Wales Police with enquiries relating to an alleged incident in Cardiff in March of this year. "As this is a legal matter, Connacht Rugby will be making no further comment at this time."​ The Red List, drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has declared the subspecies extinct. A subspecies of white rhino in central Africa is also listed as possibly extinct, the organisation says. The annual update of the Red List now records more threatened species than ever before. The IUCN reports that despite conservation efforts, 25% of the world's mammals are at risk of extinction. As part of its latest work it has reassessed several rhinoceros groups. As well as declaring the western black rhino (Diceros bicornis longipes) extinct, it records the northern white rhino (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), a subspecies in central Africa, as being on the brink of extinction. The last Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) outside Java is also believed to have disappeared. Overall numbers of black and white rhinos have been rising, but some subspecies have been particularly vulnerable to poaching by criminal gangs who want to trade the animals' valuable horns. Simon Stuart, chair of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, told BBC News: "They had the misfortune of occurring in places where we simply weren't able to get the necessary security in place. "You've got to imagine an animal walking around with a gold horn; that's what you're looking at, that's the value and that's why you need incredibly high security." Another focus for this year's list is Madagascar and its reptiles. The report found that 40% of terrestrial reptiles are threatened. But it also says that new areas have been designated for conservation. That will help protect endangered species including Tarzan's chameleon (Calumma tarzan) and the limbless skink (Paracontias fasika). Among the success stories identified in the latest annual update is the reintroduction of the Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus). Listed extinct in the wild in 1996, it was brought back after a captive breeding programme and the wild population is now thought to exceed 300. Among the partner organisations involved in compiling the research for the list is the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). ZSL's Dr Monika Boehm said: "This Red List update very much shows us a mixed picture of what's happening to the world's species. There's some good news and some bad news. "Unfortunately, the overall trend is still a decline in biodiversity. We still haven't achieved our conservation potential." Ex-Saracens and Cardiff Blues centre Shanklin believes another leading player could miss out under selection rules for players based outside Wales. In November Rhys Priestland lost out to Taulupe Faletau, George North and Jamie Roberts over Wales' rules. "Someone else will potentially lose out," said Shanklin. Under Wales' selection rules, only three players based outside the country can be picked. Williams, 25, will join the English and European champions from Scarlets on a three-year deal starting in 2017-18. Shanklin, who won 2005 and 2008 Grand Slams with Wales, added: "Something will have to give. "I suppose it's whether that law is abided by or not. He will definitely be one of [the wildcard picks]. "He has to be one of them, especially if Wales are in this transformation period where they're trying to play a different brand of rugby because he is key to that. "If he plays at 15, because I think he can make more of an impact on the game there, Wales can play differently. "All of a sudden you open up an off-loading game, a more open, attacking threat and the Welsh team become more attack-focused." Shanklin's former Wales captain Michael Owen - also an ex-Saracen - believes Williams will improve because of the move to the Premiership team, who are reigning European Champions. "In many ways he will benefit from the move as a person and as a rugby player," Owen told BBC Radio Wales. "Going back to the Wales squad, he would probably mature. "He will probably become a better player from being exposed to different coaches and methods, so it will benefit Welsh rugby as well." And Williams' former Scarlets team-mate Rhys Priestland says Saracens' new recruit will make them stronger. "It's a fantastic move. He's certainly one of the best players in Europe," Priestland told BBC Radio Wales. "I spoke to him about it and just gave him my opinion on the league. "He's going to add a hell of a lot to their squad and he's going to make them an even stronger team." The Welsh Rugby Union said it had made "the best offer" it could to ensure Williams stayed in Wales. The visitors were 18-0 up at the break with Nick Tompins and Matt Gallagher going over. Morgan Allen struck back for the hosts, but Mike Ellery's touchdown kept the hosts at bay. Billy McBryde came on to score as Scarlets again threatened, but Tom Whiteley sealed the bonus point with Saracens' fourth try. Saracens rose to the top of Pool One while Scarlets remained third in Pool Four. Scarlets: Dion Jones; Tom Williams, Steff Hughes, Gareth Owen, Corey Baldwin; Jack Maynard, Declan Smith; Dylan Evans, Emyr Phillips (capt), Nicky Thomas, Josh Helps, Rynier Bernardo, Jack Condy, Josh Macleod, Morgan Allen Replacements: Torin Myhill, Gethin Robinson, Peter Edwards, Phil Day, Tom Phillips, Connor Lloyd, Billy McBryde, Richard Smith. Saracens: Matt Gallagher; Mike Ellery, Tim Streather (capt), Nick Tompkins, Rotimi Segun; Max Malins, Henry Taylor; Titi Lamositele, Scott Spurling, Petrus Du Plessis, Nick Isiekwe, Mark Flanagan, Joel Conlon, Will Fraser, Samu Vunisa. Replacements: Jared Saunders, Jack Culverhouse, Billy Walker, Kyle Baillie, Ben Earl, Neil De Kock, Tom Whiteley, Dominic Morris. The visitors led 17-6 at the break, with Niall Annett and Dean Hammond crossing for tries, while George Ford kicked two penalties in response. Tries from Anthony Watson, Matt Banahan, Semesa Rokoduguni carried the hosts into a 30-17 lead before Perry Humphreys went over for Worcester. Houston try sealed Bath's bonus-point win to put them top of the table. Bath, already struggling with injuries to Taulupe Faletau and David Denton, lost David Sisi early on in a first half when they failed to contain a industrious Worcester side. While the hosts, who had beaten the Warriors on 11 previous visits to The Rec, struggled to create openings before the break, they were hard to stop in the second half as England international Watson, in his first match of the season, went in for their opening try. Banahan did well to gather a Ford kick to help put the hosts ahead for the first time, before linking up with Rokoduguni as the winger added a third. Humphreys gave Worcester renewed hope, but Rokoduguni went close again before Houston completed the win. Bath director of rugby Todd Blackadder: "I knew there was no better way to get Leroy engaged than just go out there and play and enjoy himself. "We were certainly put under the pump. "Worcester were outstanding in that first half. We let them play around us too easily but we'll take a lot out of that. "It wasn't a rant and a rave at half-time, just about simple things to put our game right - to carry hard and have really good clean-outs and quick ball." Worcester head coach Carl Hogg: "I thought in the first half we were excellent. "Ball in hand, we showed real enterprise and caused Bath some issues defensively. "The game obviously swung on a 10-minute window in the second half when we made back-to-back errors and someone of George Ford's quality exploited it. "In the second half we didn't get so many opportunities. I think we did enough to get something out of the game." Bath: Homer; Rokoduguni, Banahan, Bowden, Watson; Ford (capt), Fotulai'i; Auterac, Batty, Thomas, Charteris, Attwood, Ewels, Sisi, Houston. Replacements: Dunn, Catt, Palma-Newport, Stooke, Mercer, Homer, Brew, Williams. Worcester: Shillcock; Hammond, Olivier, Willison, Humphreys; Heathcote, Arr; Ruskin, Annett, Johnston, O'Callaghan, Barry, Mama, Kirwan, Dowson (capt). Replacements: Bregvadze, Leleimalefaga, Daniels, Scotland-Williamson, Cavubati, Baldwin, Eden, Adams. Within 60 seconds of walking through Duncansfield's creaking main gate, the first piece of eavesdropped chatter delivered a chastening reminder of part-time football. Apart from five hastily arranged pieces of garden furniture, seating arrangements at this ground in Kilsyth, North Lanarkshire, were unashamedly all-standing. A rickety, yet pure place playing host to Harestanes v Girvan by default. The Kirkintilloch amateur side - the first ever to enter the Scottish Cup by way of being Scottish Amateur Cup champions - had hoped to play out their piece of history on their own Merkland patch. But the Scottish Football Association did not deem that "field of dreams" (as Harestanes chairman Jim McKinney likes to call it) suitable to hold this first preliminary round tie. So Duncansfield it was and, while a squad of Harestanes players frantically retreated to the spartan dressing-rooms to de-sock and the Girvan secretary searched for the bus driver who had gone walkabout, another piece of amateur football gold emerged. Having to be dusted down to play in goal for this momentous fixture was Harestanes' third-choice keeper, no less. "Let's just say I'm approaching 40," said 38-year-old Scott McNab, who looked quite the opposite of a relic as he went through a series of pre-match shot-stopping drills. "I only really help the team out now and again when they're struggling for a goalie." Surely 'The Hares' first and second choice men between the sticks could have picked better days be absent? But McNab - Harestanes born and bred - explained how Conor O'Boyle had left to join League Two club Queen's Park. His replacement, who McNab only knows as "Jamie, I think", was away because he was an usher at his brother's wedding. "I'll either be in the headlines for making wonder saves or for being an absolute old codger," he grinned, before giving more solid foundations to his credentials. "I played in this team when we won the Scottish Amateur Cup two years in a row a long time ago, so they're a team close to my heart. I'll settle for a win today and then I can bow out undefeated in the senior Scottish Cup!" Among the 300 or so crowd gathered to watch how McNab would fare were two fans with backgrounds that were poles apart. Standing on the Duncansfield perimeter's second-top step was Tam Cobain, a Harestanes follower of 30-plus years and whose son was a successful player there. Yet, three steps closer to the pitch-side, 10 yards diagonally in front, was Douglas Gillies who had travelled 204 miles from Shipley in West Yorkshire simply to witness this game. "I used to follow Leeds United in the glory days, but I got fed up with the sheer pricing people out of football," said the friendly gentleman from the White Rose part of the UK. "People are so friendly here and we always enjoy coming up. Ideally, I'd like a 5-5 draw here so I can go to the replay at Girvan next week." By half-time, Douglas had seen one of those 10 goals he anticipated. A stellar goalkeeping performance from the aforementioned McNab could not prevent Ayrshire District League outfit Girvan leading 1-0 at the break. The slightly harsh analysis from Harestanes secretary Paul McKinney (brother of chairman Jim) was that his team "needed a rocket up their backsides." He managed to sprinkle his own dry-wit on proceedings. The co-founder of Harestanes initially took great satisfaction in the fact that one lad who had gone away to retrieve a ball kicked out the ground "still wasn't back after 25 minutes". A female Girvan fan with red slip-on shoes was his next target. McKinney peppered her with "Dorothy" [from The Wizard of Oz] jibes any time she cheered on the Seasiders. His jokes were received in the light-hearted manner they were delivered. And, in hindsight, the slightly large supporter wearing a t-shirt with the slogan: "Fat people are harder to kidnap", probably got off rather lightly. For McKinney, all that good-natured humour softened the eventual result of Harestanes 0-3 Girvan on Saturday. Another Paul, The Hares' manager Paul Marshall, offered his thoughts. "I don't think 3-0 was a fair reflection of the game as we played some really nice stuff," he said. "We were in this to win, but this competition was a bonus for us." Yes, a memorable bonus for the Kirkintilloch men who will now try to retain the Scottish Amateur Cup so that another stab at the big-time comes around in the 2016-17 season. As for those rascal Girvan training cones, they weren't even on the bus. They were hidden under a bench in the dressing room. Growth was 3.3% in the second quarter, compared to the previous three months. Analysts had forecast growth of 1.7%. Thailand has taken various measures to boost domestic demand to help recover from last year's devastating floods. Analysts said the steps had helped offset a decline in global demand for exports. "Thailand is one of the more resilient economies compared with its Asian peers with regards to the risk and headwinds from the US and Europe," Philip Wee of DBS bank told the BBC's Asia Business Report. Compared with the same period last year, the economy grew by 4.2%. Thailand was hit by some of the worst flooding in decades late last year. This led to various factories being shut and production suspended, which in turn hit the country's exports and manufacturing sector. The government has announced plans to spend 2tn Thai baht ($63.4bn; £40bn) on infrastructure projects in an attempt to prevent such disasters and also to boost growth. At the same time, it has also pledged to raise minimum wages in the country. Analysts said that while these steps were likely to contribute further to growth, Thailand needed to be careful that such measures did not increase both debt and consumer prices rapidly. They said that if not checked, such developments may prove to be detrimental to growth. "We have seen in other countries in Asia... if they embark on domestic demand driven growth, they have to watch for risk in terms of whether this growth is driven by twin deficits and does this lead to inflation," Mr Wee said. "If it does, then it becomes unsustainable." The English pair defeated the Scots, appearing in their fourth final in five years, 5-12 15-5 2-1. It was the second year in a row that the Commonwealth Games gold medallists have lost in the World Indoor final. Paxton told the BBC: "It is the first final for myself and, to win at the first attempt, you can't get better." World number one Foster and Marshall, ranked four, were in imperious form as they dominated the opening set. But the English pair - Paxton is the world number two and his partner 15th - never lost control of the second set after scoring a three in the opening end. With the Scots under pressure, Paxton and Skelton scored further threes in the fifth and eighth ends before eventually clinching it emphatically 15-5. A superb final bowl from Marshall won the Scots the opening end of the tie break. However, Paxton was in excellent form as he and his partner took the next two ends to secure the title. Skelton said: "Obviously Paul is the hardest lead to play against and I was struggling a bit, but Robert played superbly well and deserves the title for the way he played." Foster, who reached the mixed pairs final with Welsh partner Laura Daniels on Sunday, paid tribute to the winning pair. "In the second set, they played superbly well," he said. Marshall, who also lost to Paxton in the mixed pairs semi-finals, thought he had let down his partner. "Credit to Simon and Robert, they played brilliantly, but I feel sorry for the big man as I did not give him much help," he said. The entertainment company later allowed a theatrical and online release of the movie at Christmas, which took $15m (£9.6m) and was downloaded more than two million times in its first few days. The initial hack, which exposed embarrassing emails and personal details about some of the world's biggest movie stars, escalated after the supposed hackers made threats against cinemas showing the film. It has turned into one of the most difficult and damaging episodes in recent Hollywood history. Here, we examine the complicated catalogue of events. How did it start? On November 22, there were signs that Sony's computer system had been compromised when skulls appeared on employees' screens with a message threatening to expose "secrets" from data obtained in a sophisticated hack. This initially caused crippling computer problems for workers at Sony, who were forced to work with pen and paper. "We even fired up our fax machine," one employee told the LA Times. Sony initially said they were dealing with an "IT matter", but later acknowledged the hack to staff, calling it a "brazen attack" comprised of "malicious criminal acts". Who is responsible? A unknown group calling itself #GOP - later identified as Guardians of Peace - claimed it was behind the cyber attack, prompting the FBI to launch an investigation. Their name has been attached to subsequent leaks of information. Speculation has since mounted that North Korea may have had a hand in the attack as a form of retaliation for Sony's release of The Interview. A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman called the movie an "act of terrorism" in June, promising "merciless" retaliation if it was released. The country eventually denied involvement, but heaped praise on the hack, calling it a "righteous deed". The secretive nation's ability to wage cyber warfare is not unknown, but it has not previously used the name Guardians of Peace. News network Bloomberg has reported that the perpetrators worked from a hotel in Thailand, while unnamed Sony executives told TMZ the hackers were helped by insiders who knew where the most embarrassing information could be found. US media quoted anonymous officials as saying that the FBI had linked North Korea to the attacks. Why was the release of The Interview pulled? The fallout from the hack escalated after the "Guardians of Peace" claimed they would attack cinemas showing the Sony film. They alluded to 9/11 in their message and said it was a response to the "greed of Sony Pictures". The film's New York premiere was cancelled and cinema chains cancelled screenings, leading Sony to announce that it had "decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release". However the decision has been greeted with incredulity by some in Hollywood. "Wow. Everyone caved," actor Rob Lowe wrote on Twitter. "The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow." 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." On 23 December, Sony announced that the film would have a limited theatrical release and be made available for download. What did the hackers steal? Before the controversy around The Interview, reams of data considered confidential by Sony - and some of the company's prime assets - were stolen in the hack. An early version of a script for the next James Bond movie, Spectre, was leaked but failed to halt production. Five Sony films, including the new and unreleased version of Annie, turned up on illegal file-sharing sites and were downloaded up to a million times. Brad Pitt's Fury, which had already hit cinema screens, was also shared. What information has been revealed? A whole host of Sony's private company information has apparently been exposed to the public, including bosses' salaries and employees' social security information. Strings of confidential emails between Sony workers have also been circulated and proved to be the most sensitive and embarrassing leaks. The emails revealed that: Sony has contacted some media outlets asking them to exercise caution over the leaked material they report on. How did Hollywood respond? A-listers at the heart of the revelations have maintained a dignified silence. But screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin wrote in the New York Times of his anger at the hack, accusing the media of aiding and abetting the cyber criminals by sifting through the leaked information and reporting the most salacious findings. He hit out at Hollywood for doing little to protect the dignity of Sony employees, whose personal data has been stolen. James Franco and Seth Rogen, stars of The Interview, have also commented publicly on the hack, using colourful language on US "shock jock" Howard Stern's show to refer to the "stolen information", adding that its circulation is "doing exactly what these criminals want". When Sony relented and released the film, Rogen, who also wrote and directed The Interview, said: "I'm so grateful that the movie found its way into theatres, and I'm thrilled that people actually went out and saw it." That means what is going on? - if your Jamaican Patois is not up to much. In another somewhat awkward attempt at the local dialect, the US president exclaimed, "greetings massive!" That also scored a roar of perhaps slightly nervous laughter from the audience, as he made the address on Thursday. Mr Obama is the first US president to visit Jamaica in more than 30 years. He is there on a three-day trip, which will also take in Panama, to meet representatives of the 15 countries in the Caribbean Community group to discuss energy and security issues. As well as a speech there was also a tour of the Bob Marley museum. To the music of the late reggae star's One Love, Mr Obama was shown around Mr Marley's final home in Kingston, where he lived from 1975 to 1981. The US president said he was a fan of the singer, and told his guide: "I still have all the albums." His arrival aboard Air Force One on Wednesday made him the first sitting US president to set foot in Jamaica since Ronald Reagan visited 33 years ago. He was greeted by Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller and the US Ambassador to Jamaica, Luis Moreno. Jamaican Patois was a language developed in the 17th century with West African and English influences. It is also called Jamaican Creole by linguists.

"When the story broke I asked my wife if I could sit alone in the television room as I did not want anyone with me," said the Northern Irishman. "I didn't know what way to react. It's very, very difficult to describe." Speaking to his own charitable foundation's Facebook page, Gregg revealed that he had been contacted by a grieving Brazilian journalist following following Monday's tragedy in Colombia which killed 71 people including 19 players from the Chapecoense club on the way to play in the final of one of South America's major competitions. "At Munich, I lost my friends and fellow players but there were others on board including one of the country's greatest journalists at the time," added Gregg. Media playback is not supported on this device "When I told this Brazilian man this he said to me, 'Harry Gregg, I am so glad that you remembered everyone who died on the plane because I lost three friends on that aircraft who were sports journalists'. "As with Munich the focus might be on the lost players but I told him we should never forget the others who died. I hope that gave this Brazilian journalist some comfort, as he was grieving too." Gregg stayed with the burning plane in Munich after the air crash and helped to rescue a number of people, including a mother and baby. Six people - including three players - survived Monday's crash close to the Colombian city of Medellin although goalkeeper Jackson Follmann's right leg has had to be amputated. Gregg says getting back on to the training field following the accident "stopped me from going insane over what had happened to us all". A few months after the Munich air disaster, Gregg was named the best goalkeeper in the world in honour of his performances for Northern Ireland at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. North Wales AM Michelle Brown was recorded using derogatory comments about Labour MP for Streatham, Chuka Umunna, in a call in May 2016 to her then senior adviser Nigel Williams. Ms Brown said her language was "inappropriate" and has apologised. Mr Williams, who was her senior adviser for 12 months, was sacked by Ms Brown in May. Ms Brown, who called Mr Umunna a "coconut", was also recorded using an abusive remark about Tristram Hunt, who was then Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central. In a statement, Ms Brown said: "The point I was making is that because of his considerable wealth and privilege, Chuka Umunna cannot possibly understand the difficulties and issues that the average black person faces in this country any more than I can, and I stand by that assertion. "I do however accept that the language I used in the private conversation was inappropriate and I apologise to anyone that has been offended by it. "As far as the language I used about Mr Hunt is concerned, it was a private conversation and I was using language that friends and colleagues often do when chatting to each other." An assembly Labour Group spokesman said: "This is absolutely outrageous language and lays bare the disgusting racism at the heart of UKIP. "Anything less than immediate suspension would be a clear endorsement of Michelle Brown's racist slur." Ms Brown's comments have been referred to the assembly's standards commissioner. Mr Williams said he believed Ms Brown should resign from her seat and UKIP's national executive committee should remove her from the party. "You wouldn't expect anyone to say it, let alone somebody in such a position. It's appalling," he said. "Michelle Brown is not fit for office saying things like that. UKIP HQ should do the right thing. The party does not want people with views like that in the party. End of." UKIP AM David Rowlands said he "thought we'd put that racist language behind us as a party". The regional AM for South Wales East said: "It's an inappropriate comment. It's certainly not the kind of language I'd use. "I don't know if there's been any provocation but I'm very disappointed that anyone in my party should be using that language. "However, it does puzzle me that someone can record and release a private call without the knowledge of the other person." Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said: "This racism reflects poorly on our parliament - The National Assembly for Wales - and that's why her party should take action on this. "No to racism in all its forms. No tolerance on racism in our Assembly." This is not the first controversy Ms Brown has faced - in February, she was forced to deny claims she had smoked "recreational drugs" in a Cardiff Bay hotel room. Her spokesman said the smell was caused by the AM smoking a strong tobacco product. Winnie Birkenhead, from Burnley in Lancashire, came from Malaysia in 1967 on her mother's passport. But her employers recently received a letter saying her permission to be in the UK had expired. The Home Office said: "It is down to Ms Birkenhead to regularise her immigration status". They added they would "consider any application we receive". Ms Birkenhead, who is a care worker, assumed she had become a British citizen along with her mother a year after moving to the UK. "I've got a driving licence, I've got an NHS number - why was nothing picked up then? Why wasn't I told earlier and I would have done something about it." She added: "I've paid my way in this country and my life is here, everything is here and I just can't understand why all this has happened. It frightens me to death that somebody could come and knock on my door and take me away." Ms Birkenhead has been told she now has to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK - a process that could take between six months and a year. She has also been warned she may not be able to work in the meantime. She is now gathering evidence for the authorities to prove she has lived in the UK for 47 years and said the response from friends and strangers was "so supportive". Global Equipment Spares (GES) is spending £1.9m to upgrade its facility and purchase new machinery. The firm, which is based at the city's Campsie Industrial Estate, hopes to more than double its workforce during the next three years. GES makes high strength steels for the global mining, construction and agricultural industry. The move would help GES grow their exports "particularly into North America", said Invest NI, which is offering £396,000 in grants. John McClenaghan, Managing Director of GES, said: "This expansion is part of a strategy to grow sales and increase both our workforce and our product offering to meet identified opportunities within new and existing markets. "We have set ourselves a challenging target for new export business and will be focused on leveraging our reputation in the industry to secure new customers," Mr McClenaghan said. "Invest NI's support is allowing us to fully implement our growth plans and create valuable employment opportunities across a range of disciplines in the North West." GES customers include major materials handling businesses Terex, Telestack, Sandvik and McCloskey International. The new jobs will range from manufacturing roles to procurement and sales positions. Sharapova plays Italy's Roberta Vinci in the first round of the Porsche Grand Prix in Stuttgart on Wednesday. The 30-year-old's wildcard entry has already been called "disrespectful" by ex-world number one Caroline Wozniacki. "I don't agree about the wildcard here and about the wildcard in Rome and the other tournaments," said Vinci, 34. Sharapova was given a two-year ban last year, backdated to 26 January 2016, after testing positive for heart disease drug meldonium at the Australian Open. Her suspension was reduced to 15 months in October, following her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Sharapova will also receive wildcards for upcoming tournaments in Madrid and Rome. World number 36 Vinci added: "She made her mistakes for sure, but she paid and I think she can return to play - but without any wildcards." Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who could meet Sharapova in the second round in Stuttgart, has also been among those to question the treatment of the former world number one, saying she should not be invited to Grand Slams. Those views were met with a scathing response by Sharapova's agent Max Eisenbud, who labelled Radwanska, 28, and 26-year-old Wozniacki of Denmark "journeyman" rivals who wanted to prevent the Russian playing at next month's French Open because it is their "last chance to win a Slam". Sharapova, twice a winner at the French Open, is unranked and will require a wildcard to compete at Roland Garros when the tournament starts next month, with France's tennis federation yet to announce its decision.

The 22-year-old was flown to the US and landed in Ohio late on Tuesday. The Warmbier family told US media they had found out only last week that their son has been in a coma since shortly after his trial in March 2016. Mr Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for attempting to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel. He is being taken by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, US media reported. Who is Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier is an economics student from the University of Virginia, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was in North Korea as a tourist with Young Pioneer Tours when he was arrested on 2 January 2016. He appeared emotional at a news conference a month later, in which he tearfully confessed to trying to take the sign as a "trophy" for a US church, adding "the aim of my task was to harm the motivation and work ethic of the Korean people". Foreign detainees in North Korea have previously recanted confessions, saying they were made under pressure. After a short trial on 16 March, Mr Warmbier was given a 15-year prison sentence for crimes against the state. His parents Fred and Cindy told CNN in early May that they had had no contact with their son for more than a year. In a statement, Fred and Cindy said: "Otto has left North Korea. He is on a Medivac flight on his way home. "Sadly, he is in a coma and we have been told he has been in that condition since March 2016. We learned of this only one week ago." They were quoted by the Washington Post as saying they had been told Otto had contracted botulism, a rare illness that causes paralysis, soon after his trial in March 2016. He was given a sleeping pill and had been in a coma ever since, the newspaper said. Mr Tillerson made no mention of Mr Warmbier's condition in his statement, saying only that he was on his way home to be reunited with his family and would not make any further comment, out of respect for the privacy of the family. There are reported to be three other US citizens in custody in North Korea. They are: The US has in the past accused North Korea of detaining its citizens to use them as pawns in negotiations over its nuclear weapons programme. The arrests have come at a time of heightened tension between North Korea and the US and its regional neighbours. In other news on Tuesday, South Korea said it had found a North Korean drone that had crashed after taking photos of the US-funded Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system (Thaad), which aims to protect the South from the North's missiles. South Korea's military also reported that a North Korean soldier had defected across the heavily-protected Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a rare occurrence. Mr Warmbier's release comes hours after US basketball star Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea. Mr Rodman is a friend of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and has made several visits to the country in recent years. There was some speculation that he might plead the case for the American detainees, but en route to North Korea he told reporters "my purpose is to actually see if I can keep bringing sports to North Korea". He also said "I'm just trying to open the door", and added that he was "pretty much sure that [US President Trump] is happy with the fact that I am over here trying to accomplish something that we both need". Mr Trump said in 2013 of Mr Rodman's then visit to North Korea: "You look at the world, the world is blowing up around us. Maybe Dennis is a lot better than what we have." Mr Steinmeier said that extensive Nato manoeuvres launched this month were counterproductive to regional security and could inflame tensions with Russia. He urged the Nato military alliance to replace the exercises with more dialogue and co-operation with Russia. Nato has carried out a 10-day exercise simulating a Russian attack on Poland. The drill, which ended on Friday, involved about 31,000 troops, as well as fighter jets, ships and 3,000 vehicles. Russia has been strengthening its military presence near its borders. In February it held a combat-readiness exercise involving 8,500 troops in a southern region near areas of eastern Ukraine held by pro-Russian rebels. In 2013, Russian jets staged a simulated attack on the Swedish capital Stockholm. "What we shouldn't do now is inflame the situation further through sabre-rattling and warmongering," Mr Steinmeier said in an interview to be published in Germany's Bild am Sontag newspaper. "Whoever believes that a symbolic tank parade on the alliance's eastern border will bring security is mistaken. "We are well-advised to not create pretexts to renew an old confrontation," he said, adding that it would be "fatal to search only for military solutions and a policy of deterrence". The exercise in Poland, which takes place every two years, was intended to test Nato's ability to respond to threats, and to allay fears in eastern Europe since Russia's annexation of Crimea. Nato spokesperson Oana Lungescu said the alliance's actions were "defensive, proportionate, and in line with our international commitments". She said the alliance had maintained dialogue with Russia through the Nato-Russia Council, although practical co-operation had been suspended, following the annexation of Crimea in 2014. In an interview with the Bild newspaper on Thursday, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Russia was seeking to create "a zone of influence through military means", with "massive militarisation" at Nato borders. Russia has repeatedly said that the presence of Nato troops near its borders is a threat to its security. Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport has a deficit of more than £40m and staff have been told the plan to cut costs was "essential". As well as shutting the posts, it includes closing a surgical ward on Friday, and cutting eight trauma and orthopaedic beds. Stockport NHS Foundation Trust said it faced "huge financial difficulties". Councillor Laura Booth, who campaigns on hospital issues for Stockport's Liberal Democrats, said the loss of 22 beds on ward B3 and the other proposals were worrying. "This is a bolt from the blue and we are desperately worried for the staff and patients who will be affected by these cuts," she said. A hospital spokeswoman said the plan was in line with those of other NHS organisations in a similar position. "We [must] proactively address our financial situation now in order to have a good future going forward," she said. "It would be irresponsible to sit and do nothing." The trust hopes to cut posts through voluntary redundancies and not replacing outgoing staff. A statement added: "In the case of each voluntary redundancy, a rigorous assessment will be made to ensure that the loss of the post in question would not have a negative impact on patient safety, and would still allow us to provide good quality services." Several bed closures taking place would often be vacant during the summer months, it said. Car parking charges are also to rise and part of the hospital will be sold as part of the plan to save money. The trust said staff in higher pay bands would be required to pay higher car parking charges. The Patients Association described the closure as "very worrying". Chief Executive Katherine Murphy said: "Why should patients and NHS staff pay the price for huge NHS wastage over the years and Government cuts? "Ultimately, people will be wondering which hospital will be next to declare closures and job losses." Unite's Len McCluskey said "an enormous surge" of people wanted to take part after Mr Corbyn was confirmed as running "because people are inspired". Mr McCluskey accused the "ruling elite" of "trying to rubbish" Mr Corbyn. The veteran only got enough support to enter the race thanks to some MPs wanting "to broaden the choice". "Unite have already signed up 50,000 affiliate supporters to Labour and they are joining every day. And we will be doing a lot more than that," Mr McCluskey told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight. He said that those who thought Mr Corbyn was "marginalised" should "watch this space". "I know the people who will be uncomfortable, despite the fact that they are saying the opposite - and that's the ruling elite," he said. "They try and rubbish it, they try to turn it into a joke, but secretly they will be worried sick that ordinary people are suddenly given something to inspire them and something to link onto," Mr McCluskey said. Asked explicitly if the Labour leadership race would have been boring without Jeremy Corbyn in it, the Unite leader shouted: "Yes." Despite only getting enough MPs to back him with minutes to spare before the nomination deadline last month, the momentum Mr Corbyn's campaign is gathering is worrying some within the party - who wonder how a strong performance from him might be perceived by the wider electorate. On Friday, a newsletter sent by the group Labour First appealed to supporters of Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall and Yvette Cooper not to endorse Mr Corbyn in any way. Luke Akehurst, the group's secretary, said: "We clearly do not share Jeremy Corbyn's politics and believe these would destroy Labour's chances of electability." In his poem, Gatiss said the critic was wrong to infer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective was "no man of action". "From [Basil] Rathbone through [Jeremy] Brett to [Benedict] Cumberbatch dandy, With his fists Mr Holmes has always been handy," his poem continues. The updated version of Conan Doyle's stories returned on New Year's Day. In The Six Thatchers, Cumberbatch's sleuth was seen investigating the mysterious destruction of busts of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Writing in The Guardian, Ralph Jones said the show had taken "ill-advised liberties with Conan Doyle's stories" and had begun "to feel implausible". "There is obviously an audience and an appetite for abseiling assassins, machine-gun shootouts and Benedict Cumberbatch getting sopping wet while kicking ass in an expensive suit," he continued. "But, like the perverse instincts that lurk in the palaces of our minds, this is an appetite that ought to be resisted." In a letter to the same newspaper, Gatiss used his five-verse poem to suggest Jones was "ignoring the stories that could have put [Sherlock] in traction". He went on to cite the short story The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist, in which he says there is "boxing on show". "In hurling Moriarty over the torrent, did Sherlock find violence strange and abhorrent?" the five-verse ode continues. "There's no need to invoke in yarns that still thrill, Her Majesty's Secret Servant with licence to kill." Gatiss's response mirrors a poem Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself wrote in 1912, entitled To An Undiscerning Critic. The poem was a response to another poem, written by US humorist Arthur Guiterman, that suggested Sherlock Holmes should not disparage other fictional detectives.

Gordon McCaskill published his comment after Ms Sturgeon offered her house to a Syrian refugee. The East Renfrewshire councillor has since removed the tweet. A Tory spokesman confirmed Mr McCaskill had been suspended while an investigation was carried out. The council's Conservative group leader has posted a number of comments about the conflict in Syria, which has seen millions of people flee their homes. The one which sparked his suspension read: "Scenes we'd like to see: the refugees Nicola invites into her house are Daesh moles." On Sunday, Ms Sturgeon told the Murnaghan programme on Sky News that she would be "absolutely happy" to take a refugee from Syria. The Conservative government at Westminster announced on Monday that Britain would accept 20,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years. 19 February 2017 Last updated at 13:04 GMT The non-league side beat Premier League rivals Burnley 1-0 in the 89th minute of the match to seal their victory. Ayshah caught up with Lincoln manager Danny Cowley to ask how he feels about the win, and how the team celebrated. Lincoln find out who they're playing next in the FA Cup at the draw on Sunday evening. He said the money, available over the next seven years, would complement the planned new development bank for Wales. But Plaid Cymru said the cash replaced an existing fund and would offer much less support than businesses required. The new state-owned development bank will have a wider remit than the Welsh Government's investment bank, Finance Wales, does currently. Before launching the fund on Wednesday, Mr Skates said: "The Wales Business Fund will mean Welsh SMEs [Small and medium-sized enterprises] can collectively access up to £136m of financial support over the next seven years, ensuring they are well-placed not only to develop their home markets but also to compete internationally." The fund is backed by the Welsh Government and European Regional Development Fund. Mr Skates said: "This support will be complemented by the establishment of the Development Bank for Wales which will further support Welsh businesses to access finance and ultimately help us to safeguard and create jobs right across Wales. "Our work to establish the Development Bank is progressing well and we have now received a fully costed business plan from Finance Wales which would see them evolve into the Development Bank for Wales." Mr Skates said the business plan was being evaluated "with a view to the bank being up and running in the second half of next year". He said driving up investment levels was "more important than ever as we seek to increase business confidence in the wake of the EU referendum". "I will be looking to the development bank to drive up investment levels to £80m per annum within five years," he added. Establishing a development bank was recommended as a "catalyst and driving force" to help the Welsh economy grow in a report for the previous Welsh Government in 2015. Plaid Cymru Finance and Economy spokesman Adam Price said Welsh ministers had announced the creation of a new £136m business fund in January 2016 that "replaces the existing 'Jeremie' fund". "Indeed it was originally expected to go live at the end of June, so its launch is in fact three months late," he said. "Whilst any funding to support small businesses is to be welcomed, the £136m announced by the Welsh Government today is considerably less than the £500m funding gap identified by its own report, so this is far from being a silver bullet to solve the problem that Welsh businesses face." The Welsh Conservatives said the announcement was a "cosmetic re-hash" of a previous policy. Economy spokesman Russell George said: "If the Welsh Labour Government really wants to help small firms then they should have made good on their promises to cut business rates, and they should get cracking with the vital work of upgrading Wales' creaking transport infrastructure." Hundreds of protesters and Trump supporters were packed into the 9,500-seat auditorium at the University of Illinois in Chicago on Friday for hours before Mr Trump was due to talk. Tempers flared as verbal abuse was shouted between the two sides, and Trump supporters held up their posters and placards in defiance. Tussles and skirmishes ensued between the two sides. At one point outside the arena, some protesters lay on the floor to prevent vehicles leaving the university car park. Flags bearing Trump's name were also burned on the streets. Back inside, Trump's supporters help placards reading: "The silent majority stands with Trump." Mr Trump's campaign said he decided to postpone the event after meeting with police, although the Chicago Police Department said it did not advise Mr Trump to cancel the rally. Trump described the cancellation of the rally as "an intelligent decision". Police on horse back were drafted in to help control crowds outside the venue. After hours of chaos, cleaners were left to collect the torn and discarded campaign posters. Steve Morison scored the only goal of the game as the Lions beat Bradford City 1-0 in the League One play-off final at Wembley. Harris' side lost 3-1 to Barnsley in last season's play-off final. "There was a gut feeling amongst us that it was our time, it was our moment," Harris told BBC Sport. "In the 86th minute [of the final game of the season] at Bristol Rovers we were out of the play-offs. "We were 0-0 after the first leg [of the semi-final] and people wrote us off. We're 1-0 down in the 44th minute in the second leg away at Scunthorpe and people wrote us off. "Bradford were better than us in the first half and it looked a long way for us to get in front and to keep the lead. My players find a way all the time." Millwall also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup earlier this season, before suffering a 6-0 defeat by Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Asked how his side could top their achievements next season, Harris replied: "Staying in the Championship. "It's a difficult league, we have to be better and we will be. "We've been busy in the last couple of months identifying players and now it's up to us to bring in the right personnel." It's just over a century since archaeologist James Curle published the findings of excavations at Trimontium, at one time a key frontier post for the Roman army. Now a new book, containing a series of essays and illustrations, has been published by National Museums of Scotland. It's aimed at celebrating the discoveries Curle made, as well as outlining the development in knowledge about the site over the past century, and putting Trimontium in its wider context. The book, A Roman Frontier Post and its People, was edited by Fraser Hunter and Lawrence Keppie. Mr Hunter, who is principal curator, Iron Age and Roman Collections with NMS, says the Newstead site is of real importance. He says there's a fascination with the Roman period. "Partly it's because you have this link into this amazing empire and here you are, at Newstead, on the edge of that empire where there was interaction between the Romans and the local societies of what's now Scotland," he said. "It's a fascinating story." The book is designed to appeal to the general reader who has an interest in the Romans and their time in the Borders and Scotland. Alan Derrick and son Tom made the discovery on Sunday while walking along a stretch of Weston-super-Mare coastline. Used in the manufacture of perfume, ambergris is commonly called 'floating gold' due to its rarity. The substance, which smells like rotting fish, is found in the digestive system of sperm whales. Alan and Tom, from Somerset, spotted the 1.19kg (2.6lb) rock while out searching for fishing tackle. Alan said: "Tom came over with it and said 'what do you think this is?' I said if it's what I think it is, guard it with your life." They have since safely stored it while they await the results of samples they have sent to experts in France and New Zealand. In the meantime, they have listed the lump on internet auction site eBay with a starting price of £65,000. "We did the tests and everything was right," said Alan. "I'm 99% sure it could be worth quite a bit of money." A 1.1kg (2.4lb) lump of whale vomit found by a dog walker on an Anglesey beach sold at auction for £11,000 in 2015. The substance takes years to form and is thought to protect the animal from the hard and sharp objects it eats. It can float in the ocean for years before washing ashore. Media playback is not supported on this device The 20-year-old joined the Chairboys in August on a deal until January, and scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 5-0 FA Cup second-round win at Chesterfield. The ex-Leyton Orient player has started just four games for Wycombe, but is their top scorer with nine goals. "We are building something special here and of course we want to keep our best players," said boss Gareth Ainsworth. Seamer Ben Sanderson led the way with another devastatingly accurate display, taking 4-31. Colin Ingram's 47 was the top score for the visitors, who were skittled out for just 101 in their first innings. Northants had managed a third batting point through last man Sanderson, despite Rory Kleinveldt falling for 86. The home side dominated the match from the start after their seamers took full advantage of Glamorgan's surprise decision to bat first. Glamorgan's middle order managed some token resistance on day two, but Northants' three strikes before lunch had already virtually sealed the result. Kleinveldt chipped in with three wickets, while spinner Graeme White claimed two. A career-best return of 4-85 from teenage seamer Lukas Carey was the only real positive for Glamorgan. Northants captain Alex Wakely told BBC Radio Northampton: "We haven't won the first game since 1995, so it was a nice little motivation for us and to win within two days, I don't think I've done that before so it's a pretty good feeling. "It was a good toss to lose, we just assumed we'd be batting, we hadn't even thought about doing the toss and if I'd won it I'd have been a bit stuck out there, so the first hour did the damage for us. "For me the most pleasing thing was the bowling all the way through, we bowled in partnerships and the pressure was on the whole time. "We had to bat well, Rory's innings was phenomenal and that was the innings that changed the game for me." Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph told BBC Wales Sport: "I admitted we should have bowled (first), but we had them 27 for 3 and then we had Wakely bowled off a no-ball and dropped the next ball, they could have been 27 for 4 and the game in the balance. "Then we dropped Rory on the boundary on about ten, he scored 86 and took the game away from us. "Our batting performance (on day two), I don't think it was a 190 kind of wicket, it was a good batting wicket and that's something we need to reflect on and re-group this week. "Lukas (Carey) has been the most impressive bowler in nets, I think he's got a bright future ahead of him and it's nice to have Colin (Ingram) back as well in decent touch." The 23-year-old from Birmingham, ranked 179th, outplayed the Japanese star in a 6-4 6-4 6-2 victory at Flushing Meadows. Evans, playing in his first Grand Slam main draw away from Wimbledon, will face Australian Bernard Tomic next. And he will be optimistic of further progress as a superb run of form on North American hard courts rolls on. The Briton, who by his own admission has had a poor attitude in the past, began converting his undoubted talent into results earlier this year, but victory over Nishikori is a major breakthrough. "It's definitely a good one," said Evans. "That was pretty good out there to play so well and against someone so highly ranked. "I felt pretty confident all through the week, and that was a good match. I wasn't worried." Evans had too much variety for the Japanese player, with his sliced backhand and ability at the net helping him to what was in the end a relatively straightforward win. After dropping serve early on, Evans fought his way back to level at 4-4 and broke once again with some fine volleying to grab the first set. Media playback is not supported on this device Evans had gone into the match with 14 wins behind him since heading to North America, and the winning habit served him well as the prospect of a huge upset loomed large in the second set. After swapping breaks at the start, Evans appeared nerveless when he held to love at 4-4, and then broke for the set thanks to a vicious backhand slice that caught out Nishikori at the net. Nishikori, 23, threatened a comeback at the start of the third but Evans saw off three break points and then broke to love - a lead he would not relinquish. With Court 13 now bursting at the seams as passers-by edged into the alleyways to get a look at the first big upset of the tournament, Evans broke for the sixth time to seal victory after one hour and 57 minutes. "I have played so many matches it's sort of like every day is rolled into one at the minute," added Evans. "Evans has twice had his funding withdrawn by the Lawn Tennis Association as frustration about his attitude and lack of commitment came to a head, but things look to be changing. 'Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future,' is the Oscar Wilde quote tattooed to his arm." Read the rest of Russell's column "I didn't really know it was Monday today, either. It's just been going on. So it's been a good trip, and a few more days left yet." Evans has looked remarkably unruffled throughout his four wins in New York, and said: "I knew I was a good player, but I just hadn't put it all together. "I was pretty calm today. It wasn't like that much of a big deal what was happening on the court. I wasn't nervous serving it out. "I just played another good match. I've played some good matches for the last five weeks. "I really want to go far in the tournament, win a few more matches like today, and I'm ready to play again." It was the second win of the day for British players after 30th seed Laura Robson earlier beat Lourdes Dominguez Lino 7-5 6-0 on the nearby Court 13. The 27-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international has just one year left to run on his current deal. "He's keeping his options open," said Potters chief executive Tony Scholes. "I don't know whether or who he might be speaking to. That's not accusing him of anything. That's the reality of it." Scholes added to BBC Radio Stoke: "He's away on holiday at the moment but we hope to sit down with him and his representatives again in the near future. "It would be nice if we were able to sort something." Stoke have strength in depth in the goalkeeper department, with England international Jack Butland, who agreed a new four-year contract with the Potters in March, currently back-up to Begovic. The Potters have also signed Danish keeper Jakob Haugaard on a three-year deal, replacing compatriot Thomas Sorensen, who was released at the end of the season,. Meanwhile, Stoke also hope to hang onto Nigeria winger Peter Odemwingie, who missed most of last season with a knee injury. After undergoing surgery on the injury he picked up against Manchester City in August, the 33-year-old was out for eight months before returning for late substitute appearances in all the Potters' final five games of the Premier League campaign. "I'd be hopeful that we could do something," said Scholes. "He had a difficult year with his injury last season, but showed the year before what he was capable of and it was good that he got a few games under his belt at the end of the season." Charlotte Liddell was one of 200 applicants for the scheme which aims to encourage a new generation of female leaders. The 20-year-old, from Buckhaven in Fife, has been a young carer since she was 12 and does voluntary work with the Gingerbread single parent charity. She said she had been inspired by Ms Sturgeon and hoped to inspire other young people to believe in themselves. Ms Sturgeon announced the 12-month First Mentor scheme on International Women's Day in February, saying it was unacceptable that women were under-represented in leadership roles in society. She said she hoped to encourage other female leaders to act as role models. Announcing her first mentee, she said: "Charlotte immediately struck me as someone with the passion and determination to make a difference to her community and to young people - especially for those who face tough challenges in life. "Charlotte is a really impressive young woman who has already achieved so much and I hope the mentoring experience over the next year will be of real benefit to her and help her achieve her ambitions for the future. "I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with Charlotte - but I have no doubt that I will also learn a lot from her." Ms Liddell left school at 14 and has two children. She has been volunteering with Fife Gingerbread for three years where part of her work involves "buddying" young parents. She was named Young Parent of the Year in 2016 by Fife Gingerbread and won the Young Volunteer of the Year award in 2017. She said: "I want to inspire others just as the first minister inspired me. I want people to know that no matter what happens in your life, you can still succeed. "Too often, young people are told they will never amount to anything - especially young parents. By being chosen for this mentorship, I hope I will help other young people to believe in themselves - especially those whose voices are not heard." The competition was run in conjunction with the national youth information and citizenship charity Young Scot. Louise Macdonald, chief executive of Young Scot, said: "The First Mentor programme is a fantastic opportunity to shine a spotlight on the power of mentoring for young women in Scotland. "Through the application process we were able to see just how many brilliant young women have the potential to become leaders themselves. We want to show young women that there are no limits, no matter who you are, and that everyone can benefit from having or being a mentor. "Charlotte is an amazing young woman; she wants to change the world. We've all been so inspired by her already and I am sure the mentoring experience will be great for both Charlotte and the first minister." Rhona Cunningham, chief executive of Fife Gingerbread, said Charlotte had been "an inspiration to us all". "We are delighted that she has been given this much-deserved opportunity. She does so much for so many; her determination and positive attitude are remarkable," she added. "It really is a privilege to have her volunteer for us, and we know Charlotte will go on to be whatever she wants to be in life. Massive well done from everyone at Fife Gingerbread!" The first mentorship meeting will take place next week. Fifty-two ex-internationals with an average of 14 concussions each were examined by the University of Glasgow. Multiple sports concussions have been linked to the neurodegenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It has been found in the brain tissue of deceased former NFL athletes, boxers and rugby players. The former players were examined alongside 29 control subjects. "Overall there is not a suggestion of widespread decline in daily function in ex-rugby internationalists who had a high number of repeat concussions," said Tom McMillan, Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology. "Although some differences in memory were found, these were mild overall and their cause uncertain. "Despite a high number of repeat concussions in the retired rugby players, effects on mental health, social or work function were not evident some 20 years after they had stopped playing." Dr Willie Stewart, the consultant neuropathologist who discovered the first case of CTE in the brain tissue of a former rugby player was also involved in the research. Dr Stewart advises World Rugby, the Football Association and other governing bodies on their concussion protocols Annual injury audits of England's Premiership have shown an increase in reported concussion in each of the past five years, although rugby's governing bodies say improved awareness and recognition have boosted those figures. Meanwhile this week, prop Nathan White of Connacht and Saracens lock Alistair Hargreaves both announced their retirements having sustained multiple concussion injuries. Scotland's most-capped international, Chris Paterson, was among those who participated in the study, due to be published on Friday in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. It found that "despite multiple concussive injuries in the retired rugby players, there were not significant effects on daily life overall". The former internationals performed less well on a test of verbal learning, and a separate test of fine co-ordination of the dominant hand, but the study says these effects were "mild". The research also found that there were no "significant associations" between the number of concussions and the participants' performances on cognitive tests. Scottish Rugby welcomed the publication of the study's findings. A spokesman said: "Our support in actively recruiting former Scotland internationalists to take part in the study once again demonstrates the proactive approach the sport is taking to better understand concussion in both current and former players. "While the results in this study show no evident effects on general long-term health, Scottish Rugby believes it is important knowledge of concussion continues to grow and we will contribute to relevant future studies whenever possible. "The study also appeared to demonstrate the wider benefits of being active and playing sport, with the former players recording good cardio-vascular results and nearly all reporting being in good or excellent health." Brian McKandie, 67, was found dead at Fairview Cottages in Badenscoth, Rothienorman, on Saturday 12 March. Two men were reportedly seen speaking to Mr McKandie on the Friday beforehand between about 17:00 and 18:00. Police Scotland said it was thought Mr McKandie suffered a "violent attack". Det Ch Insp Iain Smith said: "We are appealing for these two men who were seen speaking to Mr McKandie to come forward and speak to us to see if they have information that could assist with our investigation. "We don't have a detailed description of the two men but one is thought to be in his 20s and the other in his 30s or 40s. "Additionally, anyone else who was in the area at the time or has information, no matter how insignificant you think the information could be is encouraged to come forward." Now, after two decades at Arsenal, 15 trophies, a new stadium and almost £700m spent on players, he is the longest-serving - and most successful - overseas manager this country has known. But what will Wenger's legacy be? To some, he is responsible for transforming the English game. To others, his initial success petered out and he will be judged on a run of 12 years without a league title. Here, we analyse his record and examine the myths - is he really a reluctant spender and was his second decade really a let down? - of a tenure that began in a different era, his first match coming in a pre-internet age: Wenger was heavily criticised in 2012 when, with the club contemplating a seventh season without silverware, he suggested finishing in the top four - and therefore qualifying for the Champions League - was effectively a trophy in its own right. "The first trophy is to finish in the top four," Wenger said following an FA Cup fifth-round exit at Sunderland. "I believe finishing fourth is vital for us, so let's focus on that." If that were indeed the case, his tenure would have been an unequivocal success, having guided Arsenal to a top-four finish in every one of his 20 seasons in charge. That is something no other club has managed during that time. When it comes to winning actual, physical silverware, Wenger's Arsenal lag behind only Manchester United and Chelsea. Just one manager - Sir Alex Ferguson - has won more trophies than the Frenchman. But finishing in the top four does not mean the Gunners have always been title contenders. In fact, in 10 of the past 12 seasons, they have been 10 or more points adrift of the champions. Ferguson was among Wenger's fiercest adversaries during their time in opposing dugouts in north London and Manchester. And the Scot is the only man above Wenger when it comes to the number of Premier League games managed. Wenger is the only overseas presence in that particular top 10. Indeed, he has taken charge of 493 more Premier League matches than any other non-British or Irish manager (Roberto Martinez, 265). And he is in a league of his own when it comes to comparing his tenure with his current Premier League counterparts, having been in his job 16 years and one month longer than the next longest-serving bosses, Bournemouth's Eddie Howe and Burnley's Sean Dyche. In his time at Arsenal, the Gunners' four major competitors - Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United - have had a combined 42 managers. Wenger's introduction of new training techniques and a different approach to nutrition helped sustain and advance the careers of many of the players he inherited, including the likes of then-captain Tony Adams, keeper David Seaman and striker Dennis Bergkamp. Those players formed the spine of a team that won the double in Wenger's second season, the first of three league titles for Arsenal in eight years, culminating in the remarkable success of the Invincibles in 2003-04. That season, the Gunners went the whole campaign unbeaten, ultimately setting a new record of 49 games without defeat in the top flight. But there has been no league title since and, after the FA Cup triumph of 2004-05, Arsenal endured a run of nine years without a trophy, a sequence ended by the 2013-14 FA Cup win and followed by a further success in the competition the next year, as well as two Community Shields. So is it right to say Arsenal have performed significantly worse in the second half of his reign? Their record is actually remarkably similar in that period to the first decade under Wenger. But it is the difference in trophies won where he is judged - 73% of them came in his first 10 years. Ensuring Arsenal's successful evolution beyond the 1998 double-winning team and the Invincibles was never going to be an easy task. One accusation levelled at Wenger is that he is not ruthless enough and is too loyal to players in whose development he has invested time and energy. Earlier this year, Martin Keown said: "He treats every player like his own son. When Francis Coquelin was brilliant last season, Wenger should have gone another step higher and said 'no, let's go and get a world-class central midfield player'. "That would put fear into the rest of Europe, but he's very loyal, almost too loyal." While it is hard to judge exactly when a player is past his best, it is certainly the case that Wenger's Arsenal are more likely than any other leading club to keep players for longer. And, of the top clubs, only Manchester United have used fewer players in that period than the Gunners. Perhaps part of the reason that players stay longer at Arsenal - and fewer are used - is that he has always seemed unwilling to spend money on major signings. Wenger is often accused of failing to pay the necessary money to strengthen his squad when it matters, most notably when his bid of £1 above Luis Suarez's £40m release clause prompted Liverpool owner John W Henry to tweet: "What do you think they're smoking over there at the Emirates?" Wenger said in August that he believes "the only way to be a manager is to spend the club's money as if it were your own", and he has built a reputation for financial prudence. So do the figures back up that notion? The Gunners consistently spend less than their main Premier League rivals. In fact, they have only outspent Chelsea in a season four times during the course of his 20 years in charge - and not once since 2009. Indeed, Wenger has spent more than £60m in a season only twice. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have done it 34 times in total between them. Arsenal's move to Emirates Stadium from Highbury in 2006 is usually cited as the main reason for Wenger's cautious approach. In the six years either side of that move, Arsenal paid a total of £122.79m in transfer fees. Chelsea twice spent more than that in a single season during that period (£142.35m in 2003-04 and £138.89m in 2004-05), and have spent more than double the amount their London rivals have paid in transfer fees in the 20 years since Wenger's arrival in England. While the Arsenal boss has spent big on several occasions in recent seasons, his signings account for only three of the top 20 most expensive deals in Premier League history - and none of the top eight. Manchester City and Manchester United have seven each of the top 20 transfers to their name. Wenger's contract expires at the end of this season, and there have been plenty of calls for him to step down, with some supporters disgruntled at the club's continued inability to mount a genuine title challenge. He is already Arsenal's longest serving and most successful manager, so what landmarks can he still achieve? Despite winning six of the 11 finals he has been involved in with the Gunners, Wenger has yet to lift a European trophy, having twice been beaten in finals: He has regularly found the last-16 stage a stumbling block. In fact, Arsenal have been knocked out at that point in each of the past six campaigns. If he does stay beyond the end of this season, he will edge a little closer to Sir Bobby Robson's record for being the oldest Premier League manager, though he still has quite a long way to go. Speaking of age, Wenger has yet to give a Premier League start to a player born after he was appointed by Arsenal, though he has come close with Alex Iwobi, who was born just 151 days beforehand. And there is one first he will be keen to avoid. Wenger's Arsenal have never finished below north London rivals Tottenham. They came close last year, only leapfrogging Spurs on the final day courtesy of a 4-0 win over Aston Villa and Mauricio Pochettino's side's shock 5-1 defeat by relegated Newcastle. If that record goes this season, could that mark a shift in north London power and signal the end for Wenger? Or, alternatively, could he sign off after 21 seasons by leaving to take the England manager's job? Arsene Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for 20 years - but who would be in the greatest XI to play under the Frenchman? Leading 3-0 from the first leg of the quarter-final tie, Devils sealed their place in the semi-finals with a 7-6 home win. Guillaume Doucet hit four goals with Gleason Fournier, Joey Haddad and Jake Morissette also scoring. Meanwhile, Nottingham Panthers beat Braehead Clan 10-7 on aggregate. Following Wednesday's 5-3 win, Panthers will face Sheffield Steelers. Belfast Giants beat Manchester Storm to reach the two legged semi-finals. Giants who beat Storm 11-4 on aggregate in their quarter-final. Elite League leaders Cardiff, who have won the competition twice in 2006 and last year, are going for the double. "Nobody knew what was going on," he told the inquests. "There were stories coming from every angle." Mr Dalglish was Liverpool's manager on the day of the April 1989 tragedy when his side met Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final. Ninety-six fans died after crushing developed on the terraces at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium. Wearing a red Liverpool FC tie and a "96" lapel badge, Mr Dalglish was first questioned by Christina Lambert QC, on behalf of the coroner, Lord Justice Goldring. He outlined his arrival at the stadium, telling the court how his focus was on the match. He said at first he did not notice anything amiss on the Leppings Lane terraces, as his team were attacking the opposite end of the pitch. But he said news soon filtered through of a developing emergency, although he did not at first understand the severity of the situation. "We knew there'd been fatalities. We weren't told what the cause was, but we knew it wasn't people fighting or hooliganism," he told the jury in Warrington. After the match was stopped, Mr Dalglish described being asked by police to speak to fans in order to "call for calm". He said a microphone in the police box was not working and that he had to use a microphone in the DJ's box instead. Kenny Dalglish isn't just a Liverpool legend for his success as a player and manager. He also has a special place in their hearts for the support he showed the Hillsborough families by visiting survivors in hospital and attending funerals. So there was great interest in his evidence. At first it seemed pretty straightforward. Mr Dalglish told the jury about the "mayhem" on the pitch and how no-one on the team bus spoke on the journey home. But when John Beggs QC, the lawyer for match commander David Duckenfield, started asking questions about drunkenness and ticketlessness among Liverpool fans, things started to get heated. The coroner sent out the jury three times for legal discussion about what Mr Beggs and other lawyers could ask Mr Dalglish. The 63-year-old was then questioned by John Beggs QC, who represents the retired Hillsborough match commanders. Mr Beggs showed the jury a copy of an excerpt from Mr Dalglish's autobiography, My Liverpool Home. He asked him about a paragraph which talks about Liverpool fans "bunking in" to Wembley without tickets for the 1986 FA Cup final between Liverpool and Everton. Mr Beggs also quoted a Home Office report about that match, describing attempts by ticketless fans to enter the stadium as "troubling". Mr Dalglish replied: "I'm just a normal human being. Not judge and jury on how people should behave." Mr Beggs was then repeatedly interrupted by the coroner as he tried to ask Mr Dalglish if he agreed whether late or drunk fans contributed to the Hillsborough disaster. Lord Justice Goldring told the hearing Mr Dalglish "can't possibly answer such questions". On three separate occasions, the jury was asked to leave the court while the coroner and barristers discussed legal issues. Mr Dalglish later told the court how he refused to accept a telephone call from Kelvin Mackenzie, then editor of The Sun, which published the controversial front page headlined "The Truth". The story, printed four days after the tragedy, made false claims about the behaviour of Liverpool fans. Such was the anger prompted by the story, Mr Dalglish said he was asked to visit HMP Liverpool in an attempt to "calm down" prisoners. His evidence marks the first time he has spoken about the tragedy in a court of law. Known as King Kenny, Mr Dalglish excelled as player in the 1980s and was made manager in 1985. Liverpool won three league titles and two FA Cups under him before he resigned in 1991 on health grounds. The former player, who returned to manage Liverpool between 2011 and 2012, was affected deeply by the Hillsborough disaster and attended several funerals of those who died. The inquests have now finished for Christmas and will resume on 6 January. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has referred the case of Adrian McDonald's death in 2014 to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Mr McDonald, 34, died after being arrested at a flat in Newcastle-under-Lyme, the IPCC said. Staffordshire Police said "all those involved have been updated". Read more news for Staffordshire The IPCC said it had made a referral to the CPS to consider charges over the actions of three officers at the scene. It said a referral to the CPS "is made when the IPCC investigation indicates that a criminal offence may have been committed" and it "does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow". The commission said previously that during an incident at a flat a police officer discharged a Taser at Mr McDonald. Mr McDonald, who is originally from Huddersfield, was arrested and taken to a police van and then became "unresponsive". He died at the scene. Deputy Chief Constable Nick Baker said it was aware of the complaints body's actions and its "thoughts remain with Mr McDonald's family". Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis said: "The work of police officers is often dangerous and the incidents they attend can be chaotic. "It is the job of the IPCC to provide independent investigation into the circumstances here and the CPS will decide if there is any criminal case to answer." The ruling was made after an agreement was reached between the Academy and Nate D Sanders, an auction house that specialises in movie memorabilia. The golden statuette in question was awarded in 1942 to Joseph C Wright for his colour art direction on My Gal Sal. His heirs sold the Oscar in June 2014. The Academy tried to prevent the sale, claiming it breached a rule, instituted in 1951, that Oscar winners and their heirs cannot sell statuettes without first offering it to the organisation for $10. The Academy's lawyers argued that Nate D Sanders was aware of the requirement when it bought the Oscar at a sale organised by Rhode Island firm Briarbrook Auctions. Nate B Sanders previously handled the auction of 15 Oscar statues, a collection whose sale fetched more than $3m (£1.9m), in 2012. "The Oscar is perhaps the world's most distinctive and prestigious award for achievement in the arts,'' said Gary E Gans, the lawyer who represented the Academy in the protracted litigation. "This case established that the Academy can maintain the dignity and value of such an award by keeping it from becoming a commodity." Last year the Academy took legal action against the heirs of another Oscar winner - cinematographer Robert Surtees - after they allegedly sold one of his awards on eBay. West Midlands Police outlined the measures - which will mainly affect community support officers - as part of its efforts to save ??130m. Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said further cuts of up to ??30m were likely to follow. The Home Office said crime was down 16% in the region. West Midlands Chief Constable Chris Sims said: "We will continue to offer the protection we currently offer but people will notice the service is delivered differently. "There will be less visibility on the streets, fewer bobbies on the beat." Shale Ahmed from the Aspire and Succeed Youth Centre in Lozells said the changes could be "devastating". "For a neighbourhood like this, it's about community safety," he said. Ravi Subramanian, from the union Unison, which represents some police staff, said the service had already suffered job losses. "This further reduction will mean a scaling back of neighbourhood policing." Mr Jamieson said: "The West Midlands has seen 24% cuts - that isn't right. "Last week we heard there could be another ??20-30m cuts on top of this. What we cannot do is do what we were doing before. "We are going to lose up to half of our budget by 2020. "What people must realise is that government austerity could have a severe effect on the quality of policing. "It's going to be policing without frills. I'm afraid it could be like some of the European forces, where it's just response policing and the other excellent work our police do could be seriously diluted." However, the Home Office said: "There is no question that the police still have the resources to do their important work. "What matters is how officers are deployed, not how many of them there are in total. The gang is accused of invading, logging and burning large areas of public land and selling these illegally for farming and grazing. In a statement, Brazilian Federal Police said the group committed crimes worth more than $220m (£134m). A federal judge has issued 14 arrest warrants for alleged gang members. Twenty-two search warrants were also issued and four suspects are being called in for questioning. The police operation covers four Brazilian states, including Sao Paulo. Five men and a woman have already been arrested in Para state in the north of the country, Globo news reported. The BBC's Wyre Davies in Rio de Janeiro says details are still sketchy, partly because the police operation is focused on one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of the Amazon region. Political and police corruption is still rife in Brazil's interior, our correspondent adds. That problem coupled with alleged ineptitude on the part of the federal government means that loggers and illegal miners are able to operate with impunity, he says. The police announced the operation in a statement: "The Federal Police carried out today Operation Chestnut Tree designed to dismantle a criminal organisation specialising in land grabbing and environmental crimes in the city of Novo Progresso, in the south-western region of Para. "Those involved in these criminal actions are considered the greatest destroyers of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest." The group members face charges of invading public land, theft, environmental crimes, forgery, conspiracy, tax evasion and money laundering. They could be sentenced to up to 50 years in jail, although the maximum length that can be served by law in a Brazilian prison is 30 years. Last year, the Brazilian government said the rate of deforestation in the Amazon increased by 28% between August 2012 and July 2013, after years of decline. It made a commitment in 2009 to reduce Amazon deforestation by 80% by the year 2020. Brazil is home to the biggest area of Amazon rainforest, a vast region where one in 10 known species on Earth and half of the planet's remaining tropical forests are found, according to the leading conservation organisation WWF. Hayley Okines, 17, died in East Sussex earlier this month from progeria, which causes sufferers to age eight times faster than normal. Hayley, of Bexhill, was told she would not live beyond the age of 13 but underwent pioneering drug treatment. Her funeral was held at All Saints Church in Sidley. Paying tribute to her daughter, Kerry Okines said she could not imagine life without her "little chick". She told the mourners how she loved her "sarcasm, dry sense of humour and pure stubbornness". A letter from the Prince of Wales was read out in which he recalled "her infectious love of life" and described Hayley as "an inspiration to millions". Speaking of his meeting with Hayley in 2004, Prince Charles wrote he was "impressed by her incredible spirit". Parish priest Father Michael Bailey went on to praise her "courage and strong determination". Hayley's father Mark said his daughter was an inspiration to everybody she met. "She never had a bad word to say about anybody. She just got on with her life and took anything life threw at her." He said anyone who met Hayley was "awestruck" by her positivity and her outlook on her life and her illness. "We were just so proud of her and what she wanted to do with her life about raising awareness of progeria...", he said. Mr Okines said Hayley knew she was not expected to live past 13 but she did not let it faze her. "We just took every day as the next day, not as a challenge, just as another day in the life of a child." Father Michael said he hoped people would take away how remarkable Hayley was. He said she rose to the challenge, seized the day and made the best of everything. Hayley was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome at the age of two. It affects just 124 children worldwide and causes accelerated ageing. People with the condition also suffer heart problems, lack of growth and loss of body fat and hair. Hayley was being treated for pneumonia and had briefly returned home from hospital on 2 April, the day she died. During her short life, she had endeavoured to raise awareness of her condition, publishing an autobiography at the age of 14. She was also the subject of a number of television documentaries. Writing in her book, Hayley said: "My life with progeria is full of happiness and good memories. "Deep inside I am no different from anyone. We are all human." The Vauxhall Corsa ended up on its side alongside the house on Carrington Drive in Hop Pole, near Spalding on Thursday. The 25-year-old driver escaped the wreckage with broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. No-one is thought to have been in the property at the time of the crash, which demolished part of a rear bedroom of the semi-detached house. Dick Holmes, from Lincolnshire Police, said the car demolished a fence as it flew through the air. However, on Friday, a police spokeswoman said it was unclear whether the car hit the first floor or if that part of the house crumbled as a result of an impact at ground level. Firefighters worked into the early hours to stabilise the building and structural engineers were assessing the damage. Graham Roberts, who said his fence was damaged during the incident, said: "I heard a horrendous noise and I knew something was wrong. "It looked like Armageddon, no fence to my house, hedge broken, and the car that had obviously knocked a hole in the house and fallen down." Speculation over Wednesday's blast ranged from an earthquake to an aircraft's sonic boom, but aviation authorities have ruled this out. Activity at the MoD's Hebrides Range, a large live firing test site, has been suggested as the most likely cause. One islander described how the big bang caused properties to shake. Sheila MacCormick, of the Borrodale Hotel in South Uist, told BBC Scotland: "The actual building shook." She said: "When we looked out there was people walking on the road - who were standing looking around to see what had happened. "We didn't know what it was, couldn't see any signs of blasting - it was very, very loud to be a blast anyway. "One of our bar staff put it on Facebook to see if it was heard anywhere else and we've had reports coming in from Benbecula and from Barra saying that they've also heard it." BBC Scotland News Facebook users suggested the bang was a controlled explosion of out of date explosives and that some residents had received letters alerting them to activity at the rocket range. A loud blast which was heard over Kent on Wednesday turned out to be the sound of RAF jets scrambled to intercept a Latvian cargo plane. "We can't contact them, they come to us," says the young man, who looks like he is barely out of his teens. Five members of this gang in Diffa, near the border, have joined the group; two have since been killed on operations, he says. In total there are about a dozen gang members in a tiny, dark room, built with local mud-bricks. There are a couple of homemade stools and weights for them to exercise just outside the door. When I ask if they agree with Boko Haram's reason for fighting, they answer in unison: "No. We only do it for the money." They had agreed to meet us earlier on a street corner in Diffa. Arriving one by one, they all wore skinny jeans, bright coloured T-shirts and shiny chains - like those seen around the necks of American rappers on music videos. Their attitude and brand new clothes make them stand out when they walk down the dusty streets of Diffa. The fashion style is clearly inspired by Western consumerism rather than Islamist militancy. The gang members agreed to talk to us on the condition that we would not reveal their identity. "We break into houses for cash; sometimes we beat people for money, we steal their animals so we can eat and then we gather up and take Tramol [an opiate drug], smoke ganja [marijuana] and drink alcohol," one says. "We have no jobs; some of us are still at high school but we need money. Violence has become a form of work for us." Taking us back to their hangout, they explained their association with the Nigerian militants. "They have paid 500,000 Nigerian naira ($3,085, £1,835) to those of us who followed them over there," one of the young men says. "The rest of us, here, we give them information. "When they come, we inform them about what's going on, what the security forces are up to." But the ideals for which Boko Haram is fighting - the imposition of strict Sharia, an Islamist caliphate and the banning of Western education - hold no interest for them. Officials in the region say that several attacks allegedly planned by Boko Haram on Niger's territory have been foiled over the last months; and dozens of men suspected to have links to the group have been arrested. "We know that Boko Haram members come across the border, but we are watching them closely," Diffa government representative Inoussa Saouna, says. "Just last December, we arrested two dozens of men - we believe they were planning to kidnap the regional governor, the military zone commander and myself." Military police, customs officers, as well as national guards conduct daily patrols along the porous border to mitigate the threat. On paper, the border is supposed to be secured by joint patrols with soldiers from both countries. However, they have yet to start. Niger's security forces are receiving training, logistics and intelligence support from both the US and France. Most of the border between Niger and Nigeria is naturally drawn by the Komadougou Yobe River. On either side of it, people have enjoyed strong links for centuries, sharing ethnicity, culture and living off the cross-border trade. At the Bosso border point, many people cross on foot through water knee-high as the river is at its lowest level in the hottest month of the year. It allows motorbikes and cars to drive through easily too. Most cars showing Nigerian plates come from Borno State bearing the slogan "Home of peace". But this seems a reality long gone for the north-eastern state where Boko Haram was born and has its bases. Who are Boko Haram? Profile: Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau Why Nigeria has not defeated Boko Haram The UN refugee agency says more than 50,000 people have now crossed into Niger, fleeing the relentless violence. Human rights groups estimate that more 1,500 people have been killed in the north-east of Nigeria since the start of the year alone. In the small Niger village of Guessere - a 45-minute drive from Diffa - we found half the population of Gashagar, a Nigerian village located only 3km (2 miles) over the river. Abdou Dotia says people decided it was time to leave after the Islamist militants attacked Gashagar for the fourth time, in January. Eight people were killed and dozens of shops and cars were burnt down. As he points his finger towards Nigeria, Mr Dotia explains that the border should keep them safe for now. On Lake Chad, the south-eastern tip of Niger, Nigerians are also fleeing by boat. The UN estimates 500 cross into Niger every week. The many lake islands are now home to thousands, and a lot of people, like Mourtalla Souleymane, have made it to the trading post of Krikri on Niger's shore. He arrived last month with his two wives and six children and works on the huge wooden canoes that traders use to cross between the two countries. "I was going to bed when we heard the first gun shots," Mr Souleymane says, recalling the time they were forced to flee. "When we ran to escape, a little girl was shot as she fled her burning house." He says he counted 50 dead in the streets and recalls a group of wounded soldiers, three of whom had had their hands amputated. Niger has a growing refugee crisis but without camps, which the authorities are reluctant to allow, fearing they could become new targets, or worse, recruitment centres for Boko Haram. But how many more people can one of the poorest countries in the world take in? Borno state has a population of five million - 10 times more than Niger's Diffa region. The UN refugee agency says it will try to build new homes and expand existing neighbourhoods rather than setting up camps. Drought and hunger have made communities in Niger vulnerable; coups and rebellions have made the country unstable. This fragile state is now threatened by an insurgency next door that is fuelled by extreme poverty and neglect, conditions which both exist here. "There is no reason why it wouldn't spill over the border," says a Western diplomat, who declined to be named. "But in Niger, at least, there isn't this dynamic where security forces drive populations into Boko Haram's arms." The heavy-handed and often indiscriminate response of the Nigerian security forces to the Islamist insurgency has long been criticised. The Diffa government politician believes that the emergency rule in place in north-eastern states of Nigeria has not changed anything over the last year. "It has radicalised Boko Haram more than anything else and generated other gangs and groups of bandits," Mr Saouna says. The young gang members we met in Diffa showed us a stash of machetes, knives, knuckle-dusters and traditional axes. They also claimed to have firearms and grenades but refused to show them. In a report published this month, the Brussels-based think-tank International Crisis Group noted that Boko Haram has "resorted to forced conscription and recruiting criminals and thugs, paying them for attacks". Boko Haram has shown that it can hit the Nigerian state in different ways: Bombs, village raids, school attacks and child abductions. For now, Nigeria's neighbours are only dealing with the consequences of this violence. But the prospect of the same violence spilling over is becoming more of a question of "not if but when". "If they tell you to set off a bomb and it succeeds, if it kills a lot of people, they will pay you a lot of money," one of the gang members said. "We are ready for that." The 33-year-old joined the Championship side in October and has missed just one game since for the Channel Islanders. Simon Kerrod, Fautua Otto and prop Sean McCarthy have also penned new deals. "Uili has been increasingly influential since his arrival and I believe he'll be an important member of next season's squad," said head coach Harvey Biljon. Jersey currently sit fifth in the second tier and now have 18 players signed on for next season.

The 33-year-old batsman missed the tour because he "needed a bit of time away from the game". The Proteas unsuccessfully tried three different batsmen at number four in their 3-1 loss to England. De Villiers' agent told BBC Sport nothing has been decided, but South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said he does not expect him to return. Du Plessis, who had De Villiers as his best man at his wedding, said: "We spend too much time talking about if he is going to come back. "We have to move past the hope of him coming back and find someone who is going to fulfil that role. If he comes back it's a huge bonus, but I don't expect it." De Villiers, who has more than 8,000 Test runs at an average of 50.46, has not played a Test since January 2016. South Africa's next assignment is a home series against Bangladesh, starting on 28 September.

AB de Villiers remains undecided about his Test future after missing South Africa's series defeat in England.

Betsi Cadwaladr's Simon Dean said it was due to "extreme difficulties" in recruiting doctors. He said it was a daily challenge to fill rotas. On Tuesday, the board will discuss downgrading units at either Glan Clwyd, Ysbyty Gwynedd or Wrexham Maelor hospitals. The health board favours making the doctor-led unit at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, a midwife-led unit. Mothers needing more complicated care will be transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. Critics of the controversial proposal have claimed some expectant mothers would be at greater risk from having to travel further. The Betsi Cadwaladr board initially argued it did not have time to hold a public consultation on its decision because the changes had to be implemented urgently. However, campaigners challenged the decision in court and managers backed down. The consultation document which will be discussed on Tuesday also includes a proposal to maintain services as they are, but Mr Dean told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that would not be safe. "Clearly if we thought things were safe as they were - we wouldn't be entering into consultation," he said. He said it was important to "recognise the warning signs that things are much more difficult before a tragic event happens. We're trying to manage risks in anticipatory way - looking at the things that could go wrong". If the decision is given the go ahead, the public will be invited to have its say. Mr Dean took over as interim chief executive after its previous boss stepped aside following the health minister's decision to put the board into "special measures" following a series of scandals. He said his priority has been to "rebuild the trust and confidence of the public and staff" and "create the conditions which staff could succeed".

Maternity units in north Wales have previously been forced to temporarily shut over safety fears for mothers and babies, a health board boss has said.

The suspects are thought to have used fake accounts to join the scheme. They then disabled the cars' GPS-trackers and sold the cars for parts. Police were alerted when car-sharing service Enjoy said 100 of its red Fiat 500s had been stolen in six months. The service's owner ENI said it had lost €1.5m (£1.25m; $1.6m). According to police, the thieves, based around Naples, joined the car-sharing scheme by creating fake accounts using stolen identities and credit card details. They would then take the train to Rome, take as many as three of the distinctive red cars at a time and disable their GPS trackers before driving back at high speed by motorway to Naples. At that point the cars were dismantled and their parts sold off. After police began investigating the gang, a second GPS tracker was installed in the cars which helped lead investigators to the suspects. However, the gang soon spotted the second device and threw it into the street. Police said their breakthrough finally came when they raided a house belonging to two of the suspects where they found credit cards, ID cards, phone Sim cards and social security numbers, all in other people's names. Many of the details had been used to create car-sharing accounts, police said. The three suspects were detained on allegations including aggravated theft and unauthorised use of a credit card. In his first comment since the UK prime minister wrote to him setting out his objectives, Mr Tusk said there was "no guarantee" of a deal by December. "I have to say that it will be really difficult to find an agreement," added the European Council president. Talks and sounding out other countries will start next week. Mr Tusk made his comments at an emergency EU summit on migration, in Malta, which Mr Cameron was not able to attend because of the visit of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to the UK. The council president said the chances of getting a deal on the UK's demands by the time EU leaders next met at a summit in a month's time were not high. "Their requests are tough and this is why this matter was so interesting for me, but I have to say that it would be really difficult to find an agreement and, for sure, there is no guarantee that we can do this by December," said Mr Tusk. Speaking to BBC Newsnight, French digital affairs minister Axelle Lemaire suggested there was "no willingness, at least in the short term" to change EU treaties to accommodate the UK's request to restrict newly-arrived EU citizens' access to benefits. "This is not something that the French government would see as being reasonable... So there's the question of is it legal or not and there's the question of is it good to raise the issue at the moment and this, the timing is probably not so good," she said. Ms Lemaire also sounded a note of caution over the proposal to exempt the UK from "ever-closer union", questioning what it actually meant. "If it's getting nearer to a protocol like the ones that were signed for Denmark and for Ireland, this is a matter open for discussion. "But if it's a complete re-questioning of the sense of the original treaties, this is probably not something we could agree on," she told Newsnight. Mr Cameron bowed to pressure from other EU leaders and set out the UK's four key demands in the negotiations on Tuesday. He is keen to press ahead with an in/out referendum but has said he will not announce the date of it, which must be before the end of 2017, until he has secured an agreement from the other EU leaders. In his letter Mr Cameron said four objectives lay at the heart of the UK's renegotiations: Examining the four key points from Cameron's letter If the demands are met, Mr Cameron said "I am ready to campaign with all my heart and soul to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union". At a press conference on Tuesday, he hit back at claims by former Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson that the four goals were "disappointingly unambitious", saying they reflected what the British people wanted and would be "good for Britain and good for the European Union". "It is mission possible and it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there," said the prime minister. But his demands were met with ridicule by some Conservative Eurosceptics, with backbencher Bernard Jenkin stunning MPs by saying: "Is that it?" Former Tory cabinet minister John Redwood said Mr Cameron should be asking for "much more" and there was nothing in Mr Cameron's speech to suggest Britain would get "anything like the protection we need" from European laws. "It's about more than borders and migration," he added, "it's about who governs". Referendum on the UK's future in the European Union The UK is to have a referendum by the end of 2017 on whether to remain a member of the European Union or to leave. The vote is being proceeded by a process of negotiations in which the Conservative government is seeking to secure a new deal for the UK. 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 Bill Potts's sexuality will be revealed pretty much straightaway in her second line of dialogue when the show returns to BBC One on 15 April. "It shouldn't be a big deal in the 21st Century. It's about time isn't it?" Pearl Mackie, who plays Bill, told the BBC. "That representation is important, especially on a mainstream show." She added: "It's important to say people are gay, people are black - there are also aliens in the world as well so watch out for them. "I remember watching TV as a young mixed race girl not seeing many people who looked like me, so I think being able to visually recognise yourself on screen is important." "[Being gay] is not the main thing that defines her character - it's something that's part of her and something that she's very happy and very comfortable with." Gay and bisexual characters have featured in Doctor Who before, such as Captain Jack and River Song, but this is the first time the Doctor's permanent companion has been openly gay. Although Captain Jack - played by John Barrowman - travelled with the Doctor for a number of episodes, he was not a full-time companion in the traditional sense. Mackie said it had been "kind of insane" to be the centre of attention since she was announced in the role last April, despite not being seen on screen until this Easter. "My Twitter follower count went from 400-and-something to 16,500 in about two hours, so that was pretty mental," said the actress, who is taking over from Jenna Coleman as the Doctor's companion. "But it's been really nice, everyone seems to be really excited. It's sort of like being welcomed into a family and all the fans have been really welcoming." The actress, who was performing in the West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the time she was cast, said the role of Bill was "the biggest job I've ever done". "Looking at previous alumni, it's only done wonderful things for their careers - Matt Smith is phenomenal in The Crown, Jenna Coleman has just gone on to do Victoria and Billie Piper is doing incredible things," she said. "For me if I even get to do [a small amount] of those kind of things it would be incredible. It's an amazing platform for me and it opens a lot of doors that wouldn't necessarily have been open before - it's very exciting." This series of Doctor Who will be Peter Capaldi's last, as the actor is due to hand over the key to the Tardis during this year's Christmas special. Speculation is mounting over who will take over the role, with Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge among the potential candidates.

Simon Hammersley, Alex Tait and Micky Young tries and Craig Willis' penalty put Falcons 22-3 up at the break, with Thomas Laranjeira responding for Brive. Tries from Nicolas Bezy and Christopher Tuatara and two penalties from Laranjeira edged the French side ahead. Hammersley then neatly kicked and gathered to seal victory late on. The return of captain Will Welch was one of 11 changes the Falcons made from the ultimately costly defeat by Russian side Enisei-STM, as Newcastle looked to book a place in the last eight. However, with Newport Gwent Dragons and Montpellier already securing safe passage as two of the three best runners-up in the group stage, progress was impossible even before Falcons kicked off at Kingston Park. Newcastle Falcons: Hammersley; Tait, C. Harris, Socino, Kibirige; Willis, Young; Rogers, Lawson, Foster, Botha, Thompson, Wilson, Welch (capt), Chick. Replacements: McGuigan, B. Harris, Ryan, Green, Mayhew, Dawson, Powell, Marshall. CA Brive: Sola; Namy, Laranjeira, Tuatara-Morrison, Masilevu; Bezy, Pejoine (capt); Lavergne, Da Ros, Jourdain, Lebas, Steenkamp, Sanconnie, Luafutu, Hauman. Replacements: Ribes, Pointud, Tuncer, Koyamaibole, Whetton, Iribaren, Petre, Mafi. Referee: Leighton Hodges (Wales) For the latest rugby union news follow @bbcrugbyunion on Twitter. The "zig-zag" at Highcliffe, near Christchurch, was initially closed in March amid fears about its stability. A survey has since found failure of the timber support is "potentially imminent" and it needs rebuilding. So far, £530,000 has been earmarked for the project but it is not yet known how much it will cost. Christchurch Borough Council said it hoped to re-open the path in time for Easter 2018. The bottles were seized as part of an operation to tackle organised crime within the city's Albanian community, Sussex Police said. Several premises are being investigated for breaching licence conditions, a spokeswoman added. Earlier raids also saw eight people charged with drugs offences and 11 people arrested. Details of the businesses involved have not been released - but police said the pub, two kebab shops, three cafe bars and an off-licence were still being investigated. They were visited on Thursday by officers from Sussex Police, the Immigration Service, HM Revenue and Customs, and Brighton council licensing, trading standards and environmental health. "I think he probably would if I'm honest," says Nick Bagnall, who's directing a new version of Romeo and Juliet, as the Bard (maybe might possibly have) intended it - with two men in the lead roles. We know Shakespeare intended Juliet to be played by a young man - all female roles were played by boys and men at that time. But this version, staged by the Liverpool Everyman, is the first time a major British theatre has made it about gay lovers. One theory - put forward by Oscar Wilde, among others - says Shakespeare wrote Juliet and other girls' roles for a young actor who was the object of his affections. "There's a huge debate around what he thought about the actor playing Juliet," says Bagnall. "I'm pretty good on the archives and research, and I think he probably would have quite liked to have done that [written Juliet as a male] if he'd been allowed, I really do." The Liverpool production keeps the play's original title, but in the play itself Juliet is now Julius - played by 20-year-old Elliott Kingsley. "I think he'd totally love it," Kingsley says, continuing the speculation about Shakespeare's true feelings. "Shakespeare wrote this part for a man. A boy played Juliet originally, and it's widely believed that it was a boy that he was in love with, and that this was his love letter to this actor. "So it's not beyond the realms of possibility for a man to say these words with truth because originally that's the way it was." 'I'd unearthed something exciting' The speculation about Shakespeare's sexuality stems from his sonnets, which are dedicated to "Mr WH" and many of which are addressed to a mysterious young man known as the "Fair Youth". But there's scant evidence about who this figure was, or where the Bard's affections lay. The idea to turn Romeo and Juliet into a gay love story came when an actor delivered one of Juliet's yearning monologues during an audition. Bagnall says: "Watching a male speaking that rather feminine language about the frustration of needing Romeo to come to him that night, I just thought, I wonder [what it would be like] if I read the whole play again with that in mind. "And with a few trims and changing 'she' to 'he' and 'mistress' to 'master', I felt like I'd unearthed something really exciting in that play." In the original Romeo and Juliet, the hero is initially in love with Rosaline before falling for Juliet. In the Liverpool version, Bagnall says Romeo is confused about his sexuality. "I think when he sees Julius it unlocks an inner turmoil in him and it makes that journey really muscular, and the inner turmoil he lives with is really interesting." That manliness lends the story unexpected new meanings, says the director. He is speaking just after the cast have rehearsed the final death scene. "It was a really violent scene, which I've never really seen before," he says. In the past, he's found that ending "quite flowery" and has been "disappointed". "But watching it this morning with muscularity and a 6ft 2in lump of a lad in tears - there are certainly [new] things that are pinging out more and more." And there's another meaning pinging out now. In this version, Romeo is white and Julius and the Capulet family are not. That raises questions about attitudes towards homosexuality in some countries and communities. "It makes it incredibly exciting and devastating when we open up a discussion about young gay men in certain countries around the world where, still happening to this day, they're banished, tortured, abused, sent from their families, disowned for being a gay man. "Within the company of people I'm working with, that's been quite a big decision that we've embraced - the race, and how you can justify anything, which the Capulets do anyway, with the phrase 'in God's name.'" Romeo and Juliet opens on Wednesday, but the 14-strong company has been together for three and a half months - performing in the Liverpool Everyman's first rep season for 25 years. They are following in the footsteps of the likes of Julie Walters, Bill Nighy, Pete Postlethwaite and Jonathan Pryce, who emerged from the illustrious Everyman rep companies of the early 1970s. This year's company started with a five-star Fiddler on the Roof, followed by the surreal Conquest of the South Pole, children's show The Story Giant, austerity musical The Sum, and ending with Romeo and Juliet. "If Romeo and Juliet had been the first show in the season I don't think I would be able to do some of the things I've been doing, in terms of just letting your guard down," says George Caple, who plays Romeo. "I genuinely believe the work is better when people properly trust each other in the room, which we all do." Romeo and Juliet runs until 7 June, then all five Everyman Rep shows will play in rotation until 1 July. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

An inquest in Northampton heard race leader Sage Karam hit a barrier at 200mph, scattering debris on the track. Father-of-two Wilson was hit on the helmet and died the next day. Coroner Anne Pember read a statement from Wilson's father, Keith, who described the event in lap 179 of 200 as a "freak accident". It said: "[Karam] was unhurt but debris from his car flew high into the air and a large, heavy piece hit Justin on the head as he approached the scene of the accident. "Justin was unconscious, he was extracted from the car and rushed to hospital. He underwent surgery and was kept on a life support machine until the following day. "The decision was then taken to switch off the machine. Justin was a kind, caring and loving son who is sadly missed by all of his family and friends." Mrs Pember concluded that Wilson's death was accidental. Sheffield-born Wilson, who lived in Northampton and Colorado, formerly raced in Formula 1 for the Minardi and Jaguar teams and was competing for Andretti Autosport at the time of his death. He enjoyed greater success in Champ Car, finishing as series runner-up in 2006 and 2007 before switching to IndyCar racing in 2008, after Champ Car merged with the Indy Racing League. He finished second in the previous IndyCar race in Mid-Ohio on 2 August, his first podium finish since 2013, while his final victory came at the Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway in June 2012. About 500 people attended Wilson's funeral at Paulerspury in Northamptonshire in September. About 100,000 saw just the start of the final day of the race in Middlesbrough. The 136km route finished in Scarborough. Welcome to Yorkshire said a million saw the second stage on Saturday, in which male and female cyclists were riding the same route for the first time. Chief Executive Sir Gary Verity said: "Crowds were once again phenomenal". The race is split into three stages and covers 515 km (320 miles) across the Yorkshire landscape. Frenchman Thomas Voeckler sped to the finishing line in Scarborough stealing an electric win in the last leg of the race. On Saturday, Team Sky's Danny van Poppel snatched victory in the men's stage while Dutch rider Kirsten Wild won the women's. Fellow Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen won the first stage between Beverley and Settle on Friday. Otley rider and Olympian Lizzie Armitstead, 27, who finished in the chasing pack, said the start of the second leg was "brilliant". The road race world champion said she had "a goose-pimple moment at the beginning to be supported by my community". "It's not something I ever thought would happen to me - to start a race in my hometown and as world champion - both are a surprise and a bonus." Wild said she would share the £15,000 prize money with her fellow Team Hitec Products' mates. "It was a great opportunity for women's cycling and it has been really good to race here, in front of enthusiastic crowds," she said. British Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins pulled out of the first day of the race towards the end of the stage. Despite the heavy rain, many children from local schools cheered the riders on as they made their way through villages in the Yorkshire Wolds and headed into North Yorkshire. A number of riders were involved in a crash soon after the start of the race as they cycled over open fields outside of Beverley. As well as the professional race, there is a mass-participation "sportive" for amateur cyclists along the same roads as the Tour de Yorkshire. The idea for the event was launched after Yorkshire hosted the Tour de France Grand Depart in 2014. Starting in Beverley, the race weaves through the Wolds, crossing the A64 at Tadcaster before heading north past Wetherby and into the Yorkshire Dales. Once the cyclists leave Pateley Bridge and after a tough climb at Greenhow Hill, riders travel downhill from Grassington to Gargrave and along the A65 before a finish in Settle. The second leg, which begins in the hometown of Olympic cyclist and 2014's Otley Grand Prix winner, Lizzie Armitstead, sees male and female cyclists ride the same route for the first time. Past Harewood, the start of last year's Grand Depart, the route loops to the east of Leeds, then heads south towards Pontefract and into South Yorkshire for a finish in Doncaster. The final day starts in Middlesbrough, which forms part of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, before riders take a tour of market towns including Stokesley and Northallerton. From Thirsk they will head on to Sutton Bank and through the national park before going over the moors to Whitby and finishing along Marine Drive in Scarborough. The ceremonial start takes place at 11:10 BST with the race proper getting under way at 11:35 BST. It is expected the riders will finish the route at approximately 16:30 BST. Veteran photographer Elsa Garrison is part of Getty Images's team of 40 specialist sport photographers who will be at this year's Olympic Games in Rio which begin on 5 August. Here Garrison has picked out some of her favourite images from past Olympics. What grabs my attention in this picture is the sheer joy in Timea Nagy's face after retaining the gold medal for women's fencing. I am drawn to reaction pictures as they really show the human aspect of the sport. It doesn't matter if it is a winning moment or a moment of defeat, these types of pictures tell the best story. Taken at the 1948 Olympic Games, this picture illustrates a moment that photographers strive to capture at every Olympic Games. Technology and demands for imagery have changed significantly since then, but the moments we look to capture have not. What is great about this picture is that unlike today, this image then was a lot harder to get. It was shot on film - which had exposure limitations. The camera had no motor drive so you had one chance to get it right. And you had to manually focus on runners coming towards you. Today, you still need a lot of skill to capture such a moment, but there are a lot more demands to get more out of each one. We are shooting multiple remote cameras at the same time as we are using our camera in our hands to get as many views of that one moment as possible. The opening ceremony for the Olympic Games is always a show of pageantry. This image from the Sydney Olympics is a nice artistic view of the scene inside the stadium. The clever use of colour and light draw you into the frame. The composition reminds me of a blooming flower. This picture has a nice clean background so the celebration of Usain Bolt jumps out at you. You feel as if you are right there with him. What I like about this picture is you have happiness and sadness all in the same frame. This was from the quarter-finals at London's Earl's Court in 2012. In my opinion, emotion pictures tell more of a story than action pictures in sport photography. This is the moment I remember from the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Gymnast, Kerri Strug completed a vault while injured to secure the gold medal. This is one of my favourite all-time Olympic images by one of my favourite photographers, Doug Pensinger. Doug and I worked on many assignments together and I have always looked up to him and his work. He had a knack for getting the moment of the event better than anyone around him. He was a solid action photographer but he also had a very artistic eye and could make sport look like art. Every time the opening ceremony is more elaborate and action-packed than the previous Olympics. Larger fireworks shows, fly-overs and choreographed dance routines all add to the ceremony's spectacle. It is always tough to find another vantage point from which to cover the opening ceremony. What draws me to images like this one is that they are outside the stadium and so give you a sense of place. The dark clouds pictured here during the fly-over at the 2012 Games in London make the coloured smoke from the planes stand out even more. Bob Beamon's long jump from 1968 maintained the Olympic and world record until the latter was broken in 1991 by Mike Powell. This picture signals a change in the way people began to cover sporting events. Records and historic moments became more of a priority to capture. Peak action shots with telephoto lenses came into fashion because of this picture and many images like it from that time. I like the heart shape of the water as the diver heads to the surface and this lends a beautiful graphic element to the picture. This was taken with a remote camera placed in the pool set up several hours beforehand. Underwater camera shots are hard to get and at this year's Rio Olympics, Getty Images are using underwater rigs to capture more of this imagery which shows a fresh and unique perspective. When covering doubles tennis it is important to have both players in the frame - otherwise it would look like singles. Patience is the key but once both players magically come together you have to be ready to capture it as it doesn't happen often. This was a nice moment where Laura Robson and Andy Murray both went for the ball and were mirror images of each other. The tax investigation it is facing in Luxembourg and the general worldwide crackdown on the movement of profits between different tax jurisdictions to minimise payments are likely to have been two. A third is the fact that McDonald's already has a significant business in the UK. But, taking a step back from the specific decision that is dissected by my colleague Simon Jack, there is also a broader trend starting to take shape. The McDonald's announcement - which may not actually mean much in job terms - is part of a wider bet on the shape of the UK economy after the departure from the EU. Yes, many businesses are concerned about the effect on the economy if any trade deal with the EU is replete with damaging tariffs. And the City is braced for thousands of jobs to move to the continent as London loses at least some of its attractions as an entry point into the EU. However, Google, Facebook, Apple, Boeing and Nissan have all now committed to the UK since the vote to leave the EU. That suggests a belief the tax and investment approach of the UK government will be at least as "business friendly" as that available in the EU - and, quite possibly, more so. Of course, the impact of businesses that have not invested here or have delayed decisions because of the vote is harder to define. And economists from the Bank of England to the Office for Budget Responsibility predict a slowdown in growth next year because of uncertainties about the UK's relationship with the EU. The Prime Minister has said she wants an economy that works for all, and that she wants to lead a relentlessly pro-business government. That is not necessarily a contradiction. But, low business taxes, flexible labour markets and borders open to immigration (all high on the list of many businesses' needs) are likely to be controversial for many voters. Theresa May is treading a difficult path. Many people would like to see more intervention by the state to "control" business and redistribute wealth. The commitment of many global businesses to the UK is likely to be for very different reasons. The 16-year-old was tipped to become a pro and in May fought his way to become the 58kg 2014 champion in the North West Amateur Boxing Association. The teenager had trained with Gorton Amateur Boxing Club and his head coach Kevin Williams revealed he was "very entertaining and charismatic to watch". He said: "Macauley was good enough and he had the style to be professional." Kevin Williams told Newsbeat that he was a brilliant boxer who drew in the crowds but he was also "intelligent and he had a big heart". Many professional boxers have been expressing their shock at hearing the news of the teenager's death. WBO Inter-Continental lightweight champion Antony Crolla tweeted: "Woke up to some horrible news. Very sad to hear about Macauley Moran, God bless him #rip" Pro boxer Frankie Gavin posted a picture with Macauley, tweeting: "Gutted to hear the sad news my lil mate @cauleybox has passed away. Rip mate x" Macauley had suffered with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and his dad Mario Conway told Newsbeat he had been feeling depressed in the last couple of weeks. The teenager started boxing at the age of 10 to help him deal with his ADHD. Mario Conway said: "He used to get into trouble. He needed to think all the time. Boxing helped him." Macauley hoped to turn pro at 18 and earlier this year he was in the top eight in the country for his age. Mario revealed his son "could have been world class, he would have been world class". In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and they had referred his case to the coroner. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Lee Roberts told Mold Crown Court Anthony Munkley shot Sion Davies after a row over £7,000 drugs money. Mr Davies, 25, died after falling off a balcony at Mr Munkley's Caia Park estate flat in Wrexham last October. Mr Roberts, 33, and Mr Munkley, 53, both deny murder. His wife, Gwenythe Munkley, 55, denies helping her husband evade arrest. Mr Roberts said he was at Mr Munkley's flat because he believed cannabis was due to be delivered. He told the court Mr Davies arrived and Mr Munkley said he would get the money and went to his bedroom. But he returned with a crossbow and shot Mr Davies, he claimed. Mr Roberts said he had nothing to do with the killing himself. The prosecution say Mr Davies was stabbed and slashed with knives, shot with a crossbow, and was pushed or fell three storeys from the flat. Mr Munkley has claimed Mr Roberts was not there and previously told the court the attack was carried out by a Geordie man he did not know. He has denied owing Mr Davies money. Mr Roberts told the jury he used cannabis daily but was not a minder for Mr Munkley and was not involved in his cannabis business. He said: "They [Mr Munkley and Mr Davies] were arguing about money, Munkley was going mad and was saying money he had given him to pay for drugs had gone missing." Mr Roberts said he broke up fighting between them, but Mr Munkley then shot Mr Davies twice with a crossbow. He said Mr Davies ran onto the balcony, jumped over the railings and began to slide down. "I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back up, but I couldn't," he said. Mr Roberts said he had identified himself on mobile phone footage, previously shown to the jury, which showed him holding a knife in his hand at the scene. He said he picked the knife up for his own protection and did not see Mr Davies injured with a knife or knives. The trial continues. The Streets Ahead scheme has seen more than 3,000 trees replaced since 2012. Campaigners claim they were not properly consulted about it and successfully applied for a temporary injunction to stop felling, but this was later overturned. The council said the scheme is to remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees from roadsides in the city. The Labour-run authority said the programme, being carried out by contractor Amey, was essential if Sheffield's 36,000 street trees are to be managed for future generations. David Dillner, who lives in the city, took legal action and claimed the council failed to assess the environmental impact of the felling. Delivering his ruling, Mr Justice Gilbart said Mr Dillner's claim was "in truth devoid of merit". He said his job had been to determine the legal merits of Mr Dillner's High Court action and added: "Nothing in this judgment is to be read as criticising the residents of Sheffield for seeking to protect the trees in their streets and roads whose presence many of them appreciate so much." Mr Gilbart said the council was required to maintain roads and streets and it was "unfortunate in the extreme" that the objectors "failed to address both sides of the argument". The judge said Mr Dillner must pay £5,000 of the legal costs run up by the council, as well as footing his own lawyers' bills. Mr Dillner said he was "extremely disappointed with the court's decision". "My legal team does not accept the strident criticism in the judgement and will be appealing the decision to the Court of Appeal before the end of this week," he said. "I will be seeking the council's immediate assurance that it will not recommence felling until the Court of Appeal has considered whether to grant permission for my appeal to be heard." Simon Green, of Sheffield City Council, said: "The decision demonstrates that we have been right to say we are following best practice guidance and working hard in the best interests of the city." They began the day at an event for young entrepreneurs in Mumbai, then laid a wreath in New Delhi at the India Gate memorial to 70,000 Indian soldiers who died in World War One. The royal couple then paid tribute to independence leader Mahatma Gandhi. They also attended a party at the British High Commissioner's residence. India royalist, 93, meets royal couple In pictures: Day one of the royal tour The party celebrated the birthday of the Queen, who turns 90 on 21 April. Prince William described himself as the "Queen's representative" and said his grandmother was "still very much the boss", as he read out a message from her and Prince Philip. "I have fond memories of our previous visits to India and this event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the enduring friendship between our two countries, our shared culture and the business opportunities we can create together," the message said. "It is with great pleasure that I entrust another generation of my family to strengthen and renew our bonds." Having delivered the message, he said he could "report back to granny that I have done my duty". The duke also paid tribute to his grandmother, describing her as "remarkably energetic" and a "dedicated guiding force for her family". "I am so glad that children have the chance to get to know the Queen," he added. "George and Charlotte too will discover how lucky they are to have such a wonderful great-grandmother, a role model for the rest of their lives." By Peter Hunt, BBC royal correspondent One Mumbai newspaper headline has declared "Royal couple charms crowds". Images of a future king and queen demonstrating their sporting, competitive edge have proved irresistible to many British newspapers and broadcasters. But such coverage doesn't mean that royal fever has descended on India. Security concerns in the modern world mean that presidents and princes travel in a bubble, and only meet those who are invited and checked out in advance.

On Tuesday the couple, who are visiting India for the first time, will meet the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi before travelling to Kaziranga National Park in Assam to learn about the conservation work being done there. On Sunday night, Prince William spoke of his admiration for India, during a speech at a charity gala in Mumbai attended by Bollywood film stars. He praised "an India whose traditions, culture and civilisation go back thousands of years, and yet co-exist with an India that is young, creative, entrepreneurial". Earlier, at the same venue - the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel - the couple spoke to survivors of the 2008 terror attacks in the city. The seven-day tour will also see them travel to the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Chantelle Fitzgerald, 18, of Canvey Island in Essex, lost her mother in August and thought the state would cover the cost. However, the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) said it would not pay and the funeral directors have issued their bill to her. A family friend called it "disgusting" and has launched a fundraising appeal. Vicki Fitzgerald died aged 47 from a liver disease, while the children's father died when they were a lot younger. For more on this and other stories, visit the BBC Essex Live page When Mrs Fitzgerald died, Chantelle applied to become her brother Shane's legal guardian to prevent him being taken into care and, with his help - and that of her boyfriend's mother Michelle Gray - organised the funeral. Chantelle signed the forms with the funeral director. "I think mum hid it [her illness] from us in many ways," she said. "If I had known, I would have prepared everything a lot better. "I've an older brother and they [DWP] said it was down to him to pay as next-of-kin, but I hadn't seen him in years and we don't have contact, although he did come to the funeral." Ms Gray, 47, who also lives on Canvey, said "it's disgusting". "I blame the government department - Chantelle's been left to sort out a funeral and now they're both frightened of getting into trouble with the courts and they're only kids." A spokesman for the funeral directors E Sargeant & Son said: "They agreed to this fee and it is our normal business practice to follow this up if payment is not forthcoming. "We are in ongoing dialogue with the family and have invited them to discuss the matter further." A DWP spokesman said: "Funeral payments provide a safety net for those in need during a difficult time and last year we supported over 32,000 claims. "If a claim is unsuccessful, claimants can request a mandatory reconsideration and then a right of appeal." The family and Michelle Gray said they had already been through the appeal process and it had failed. Adrian Gard was charged in February of making a false statement to police after the listening device was found during a check of the hotel room. A court in Sydney dismissed the charge on Friday. Gard was found guilty of another charge of operating without a proper licence. He will be sentenced for that charge in September. All Blacks captain Kieran Read told the court that Gard, who had worked for the team for a long time, was a "pretty good man" and had been "pretty honest and loyal in what he does". Read's side begin their Rugby Championship defence against Australia on Saturday - the first of three games in the annual Bledisloe Cup. Media playback is not supported on this device Lewis-Francis, 33, who won Olympic gold as part of the 4x100m relay team at the 2004 Athens Games, missed Beijing 2008 and London 2012 through injury. The GB Bobsleigh team finished fifth at both the 2014 Sochi Games and at last season's World Championships. "I can be a great track athlete and a great bobsleigher," he told BBC Sport. "My problem has always been my start and hopefully bobsleigh can help me improve that because I'd love to make the Rio 2016 team." Lewis-Francis insists though that bobsleigh will be his major focus as he is determined to add to his Olympic medal collection. "Some of my greatest moments have come in team events, like the 4x100m relay [in Athens], so bobsleigh plays to my strengths," he said. The 2010 Commonwealth relay gold medallist has also been impressed by the talent he has seen in the British team. "I watched the last Winter Olympics on the TV and was very intrigued, but I've found it's not as easy as it looks and I have so much respect for the guys here," he said. "They [GB] already have a good team and I'm a big lad, I'm strong, I still have a little bit of fast-twitch fibre left too so perhaps with a bit of MLF speed in there we can finish a bit better than fifth." Lewis-Francis' former GB team-mates Simeon Williamson and Joel Fearon are already part of the British bobsleigh setup, whilst fellow 2004 Olympic gold medallist Jason Gardener competed in the 2008 GB Bobsleigh championships. Media playback is not supported on this device Other ex-sprinters who have previously made the switch include Marcus Adam, Allyn Condon, former world champion GB bobsleigher Nicola Minichiello and Beijing Olympian Craig Pickering. "I was quite surprised when I came here and saw a lot of people that I used to line up against and race," he said. "There's a lot of young sprinters here as well so you can see the making of the switch from athletics to bobsleigh and I think it's good for the sport." USA sprinter Lauryn Williams won Olympic relay gold at London 2012, before partnering Elena Meyers-Taylor to a second-place finish at the Sochi Winter Olympics last year. GB Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson hopes Lewis-Francis can make a similar difference for the British team. "To win an Olympic medal in 2018 we need to have one of the quickest start times in the world, we were near that in Sochi but just need that little bit more," he told BBC Sport." On Lewis-Francis, Anderson said: "He is an Olympic champion and has taken to the bobsleigh training really well - it's an exciting time for the team." The Commonwealth 100m silver medallist's eldest child, Romeo, was less than a year old when the men's 4x100m relay team secured victory over the USA in Athens. "Most of my kids are too young to remember 2004," he reflected, and added that a medal "would be amazing and a dream come true. "To have another moment where they can actually watch it and see their daddy actually doing something amazing - that would be great for me." Lewis-Francis has made impressive progress since joining the team for pre-season training in Bath in August and has been selected for the team push start trials in Switzerland later in September. He is expected to make his debut on ice next month with the bobsleigh American Cup series a possible target in late October. Since July 2015, at least four journalists have been arrested, two others left the state and many more continue to face harassment daily. "The large number of journalists who have quit their profession in the past six months is probably unprecedented and that shows how grave the fear is," said Kamal Shukla, president of Patrakaar Suraksha Kanoon Sanyukt Sangarsh Samiti, a group fighting to bring a law to protect journalists in the state. The Chhattisgarh government on 20 May announced the formation of a high-level committee, consisting of journalists and civil servants, to investigate the arrests. Even though this move seems like a successful culmination of their protest, journalists say they will wait to see the working of this committee before rejoicing. The mineral-rich state of Chhattisgarh has witnessed an armed conflict for more than three decades. While the government encourages mineral extraction industries in the area, an armed left-wing rebel guerrilla group, called the Maoists, opposes it. The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of indigenous tribespeople and the rural poor who, they say, have been neglected by governments for decades. The southern Bastar region of the state is the epicentre of the violence. The conflict intensified after the state government signed agreements in mid-2015 to set up mega steel plants in the region. Activists say that to implement these agreements, the government had to weaken the rebels. Pledging to "eradicate Maoists from the region" by the end of 2016, the police launched an all-out attack against everyone they felt were Maoist sympathisers. "Under the garb of attacking those supportive of the Maoist cause, the state began to indiscriminately target innocent tribal groups, so they could be coaxed into leaving their lands and migrate," said Bastar-based Aam Aadmi Party leader and human rights activist Soni Sori. "In order for the state to win its bloody war against the tribal groups, any witnesses to their exploitation needed to be removed," she added. Journalists in Chhattisgarh are often the only credible source of information from far-flung areas. The northern and southern parts of the state have many remote villages, which are often unconnected by roads. In these forest-covered villages, people speak tribal languages, making local journalists, who work as freelancers for national newspapers, significant news gatherers. When tribal journalist Somaru Nag was arrested and charged with "anti-state activities" in July 2015, it largely went unnoticed. His family was informed about the arrest after three days. But activists started seeing a pattern after more journalists were subsequently arrested. Santosh Yadav, a freelancer for a Hindi newspaper, was arrested last September on more severe charges than Mr Nag. "There was a lot of pressure on him to become a police informer and report on Maoist movements in his area," said Isha Khandelwal, Mr Yadav's lawyer. "He had made the administration uncomfortable by reporting on state excesses," she told the BBC. However, Amit Kataria, the district collector of Bastar, insisted that Mr Yadav was a Maoist. Mr Yadav's arrest was enough to make other journalists anxious. On 10 October, about 300 journalists from all over the state protested in the capital city of Raipur. They sought the release of their arrested colleagues and demanded a legislation to protect journalists. The government did not respond. The protest was repeated in December in Bastar's largest commercial city, Jagdalpur. The state gave meek assurances, but nothing significant was announced. In January, a group of men belonging to a civil vigilante group began harassing Malini Subramanium, a contributor for news website Scroll.in. She was later forced to leave Bastar. BBC Hindi's Alok Putul got into trouble for his reports over the threats to Ms Subramanium. He was also investigating an alleged extrajudicial killing in Darbha Valley in Bastar when he was forewarned of a threat. A month later, Mr Putul was forced to move to Raipur to ensure his safety. In March, within a span of a week, two journalists - Prabhat Singh and Deepak Jaiswal - were arrested on different charges. The four arrested journalists continue to be in jail. In a report released in late March, the Editors' Guild of India said they could not find "a single journalist who could claim with confidence that he/she was working without fear or pressure". "The state government wants the media to see its fight with the Maoists as a fight for the nation and expects the media to treat it as a national security issue, and not raise any questions about it," the guild said in its report. The fall of journalism in Bastar In a press conference in Raipur in February, the Inspector General of Police of Bastar region, SRP Kalluri, said he expected journalists to aid his fight against the Maoists. "We don't care about the national media. You have a different way of looking at things. We work with the media in Bastar, that sits with us, eats with us, and comes in helicopters with us," he said. With several Hindi newspapers in circulation in Bastar, there is no dearth of information. However, what kind of information reaches the ordinary man in the region needs inspection. With hotels in Jagdalpur denying rooms to journalists and their phones being tapped indiscriminately, gathering news has become a challenge. "Those who live in Bastar cannot report fearlessly," said Bappi Rai, president of South Bastar Reporters' Association. "Now, it is getting tougher for those from Delhi and other places to come to tell our stories," he added. Care is preferred to Ben Youngs, while Marler gets in ahead of Mako Vunipola. Back rower Jack Clifford, prop Paul Hill and centre Ollie Devoto are set to make their international debuts off the bench at Murrayfield. Lock Courtney Lawes is included among the replacements after passing a fitness test on his hamstring injury. "There were some tight calls on selection, but we have picked a match-day squad with a blend of experience and youth," said England head coach Eddie Jones, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster. England: Mike Brown; Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell; George Ford, Danny Care; Joe Marler, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Joe Launchbury, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Billy Vunipola. Replacements: Jamie George, Mako Vunipola, Paul Hill, Courtney Lawes, Jack Clifford, Ben Youngs, Alex Goode, Ollie Devoto. Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley skippers an England side attempting to retain the Calcutta Cup, which they have held since 2009. Owen Farrell, Billy Vunipola and Mike Brown have been appointed vice-captains. The starting XV boasts 512 caps, but no debutants. Former captain Chris Robshaw is moved across the back row to blind-side flanker, with James Haskell taking over at open-side. George Ford plays at fly-half with Farrell at inside centre in their second Test start together. "The boys have worked hard since coming into camp to understand how I want the team to play going forward," added Australian Jones. "We are confident we can go to Edinburgh and win, but we're in no doubt it will be a huge challenge. "Playing at Murrayfield in front of a passionate Scottish crowd will be a real test for this team but one I know we can rise to." BBC Sport's chief sports writer Tom Fordyce: New head coach Eddie Jones has gone for experience over promise after selecting a battle-hardened England XV to open their Six Nations campaign against Scotland. It means nine of the men who started England's last match - the meaningless World Cup win over Uruguay - will get the chance to kick-start the new regime. When Stuart Lancaster's own spell began with the same fixture four years ago, his first XV featured three new caps and only six survivors of a team that had lost to France in the quarter-finals of the preceding World Cup. Yet Jones has been far more conservative with Scotland chasing a first win over England in eight years. It is five years now since England last won the Six Nations Championship and 13 since their last Grand Slam, but they have won on their past two visits to Murrayfield, keeping Scotland scoreless two winters ago. However, with their hosts coming off a more successful World Cup - only a controversial late penalty decision denying them a place in the semi-finals - Saturday afternoon is likely to prove a testing baptism. Speaking to reporters following Thursday's team announcement, Jones looked to be handling the scrutiny in his stride. "If Eddie Jones feels under any pressure ahead of his first match in charge of England, he's not showing it so far," said Fordyce. "He was all relaxation and smiles, combative when pushed on the lack of new faces but clearly excited. "He admits to nerves but only positive ones: 'I don't sit there biting my nails or scratching my head.' "With his years of international coaching experience, the former Australia and Japan coach has seen bigger occasions than this - and, in a frenetic Six Nations build-up, his calmness is so far shining through." Media playback is not supported on this device The Northampton woman, who was the only female rider at the meeting, crashed at a chicane near the start/finish area. "I'm totally gutted to tell you that due to a little broken bone from my off on Thursday, I won't be competing in the NW 200," Costello said on Facebook. The 40-year-old was competing at the event for a 10th year. Costello also missed Thursday night's opening races because of her injury. She walked away from the incident and the practice session was resumed after a short delay to clear the track. They said their process is fast, clean and cheap. It can store energy from the sun and wind. Writing in the journal Science, the Glasgow researchers said their process is thirty times faster than the current method. Without using any more energy, it is claimed to store the hydrogen in a carbon-free liquid. Prof Lee Cronin, of the university's School of Chemistry. said: "The process uses a liquid that allows the hydrogen to be locked up in a liquid-based inorganic fuel. "By using a liquid sponge known as a redox mediator that can soak up electrons and acid we've been able to create a system where hydrogen can be produced in a separate chamber without any additional energy input after the electrolysis of water takes place. "The link between the rate of water oxidation and hydrogen production has been overcome, allowing hydrogen to be released from the water 30 times faster than the leading PEME process on a per-milligram-of-catalyst basis." These were just some of the strands to the colourful and exuberant opening ceremony at Celtic Park for the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Was Glasgow kissed by Caledonian Cool or did it deliver Tartan cringe amidst a haze of Scotch myth? Here's what others thought... Australia Writing in The Australian, Wayne Smith said: "Name a Scottish icon, it got an airing, be it Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, Susan Boyle, tossed cabers or Rod Stewart, pumping out his signature "The Rhythm of My Heart". Not that the Scots were showing their dour side, not on this night, even parodying their own weather in a cute takeoff of Men at Work's "Land Down Under". India The Times of India online edition said: "Scotland rolled out a spectacular opening ceremony on Wednesday with dazzling and colourful display of their unique culture and heritage on a breathtaking night, which also had some Indian flavour to set the stage for the 20th Commonwealth Games." Canada Writing in the Toronto Star, Rob Harris said: "The Loch Ness Monster, tartan-clad bagpipers and giant pieces of shortbread took the place of footballers on the Celtic Park pitch as the Commonwealth Games began with a celebration of Scottish mythology and traditions on Wednesday. "Scotland is hosting the 20th edition of the games for former British colonies as its own future as part of Britain could be coming to an end. "With an independence referendum coming on September 18, the issue of Scotland's national identity is in sharp focus, and organizers made light of perceptions of the country with a self-deprecating start to the ceremony attended by Queen Elizabeth II." New Zealand Writing in The New Zealand Herald, APNZ senior reporter Rebecca Quilliam said: "The 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has opened today in Scottish style. "Bagpipers, dancers and kilt-clad singers welcomed a packed stadium and millions of television viewers to Scotland... "Hundreds of performers packed the stadium in a colourful display depicting Scottish life and the country's history." United Kingdom Writing in The Telegraph, Jim White said: "On a beautiful, balmy evening, in weather apparently borrowed wholesale from the World Cup host Brazil for the occasion, Glasgow produced a vibrant, joyous opening to the 2014 Commonwealth Games. "Taking the lead from Danny Boyle's magnificent ceremonial launch of the London Olympics this was an event rich in humour, jollity and self-deprecation. "Plus the magnificent Londoner Rod Stewart, warbling gleefully in the football stadium he cites as his spiritual home." The Guardian's Lyn Gardner took a different view: "London 2012 got Danny Boyle; Glasgow 2014 got a clearly nervous Susan Boyle singing Mull of Kintyre and forgetting the words, and John Barrowman in an eye-watering haze of purple tartan. "Those hoping against hope that Sean Connery and the Queen would parachute into Celtic Park in a cheeky Scottish nod to the James Bond sequence of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony were always going to be disappointed. "The budget was never going to run to that kind of grandstanding, but there were times during David Zolkwer's oddly lacklustre and unfocused production when you wondered whether someone - maybe all those people who should have been sitting in the glaringly empty seats in the stands - had scarpered down the pub with the entire budget. "Or maybe they were just hiding under the seats in mild embarrassment that this was how this great, gritty, glorious city was being portrayed to the rest of the world." The Independent's Jonathan Brown said the opening ceremony gave an "exhilarating start" to the Games. He said: "From the moment the giant kilt lifted to reveal pantomime star John Barrowman, it was clear that the wit as well as the famous wisdom of the Scots was being showcased. So too the irrepressible spirit of the people of Glasgow. "Where else would the disfigurement of a national symbol (albeit an Anglo-Irishman) - the traffic cone which has repeatedly and drunkenly been used to adorn the head of the Duke of Wellington in Royal Exchange Square for the past 30 years - be celebrated as part of a national story before a billion-strong television audience?" Referring to the ongoing Scottish referendum campaign, The Daily Mail's Robert Hardman said: "After the fractious introspection and months of angry debate about what it means to be Scottish, the people of Scotland enjoyed a well-deserved break from it all last night - as they welcomed the world. "And by the end of an exuberant, good-humoured, periodically chaotic evening - starring everyone (and everything) from a giant haggis, cabers, golf clubs, a gay wedding, 41 Scottish terriers, Rod Stewart, rousing cheers for the Queen and lashings of self-deprecation - Scotland seemed to have answered her own question. "All of the above, we can safely say, encompass what it means to be Scottish. Quite what last night's opening of the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow means for that referendum campaign, on the other hand, is anyone's guess." They've won more than 100 big awards over the last 20 years for their shows and their presenting. But what's the story of their success? It all began when Ant and Dec met on the set of CBBC show, Byker Grove, when they were just 13 years old. Their characters, PJ and Duncan, were mates in the show and Ant and Dec soon became friends in real life. From acting to singing - in 1993 the series led to the guys signing a record contract and over the course of four years they had 14 top 20 hits. And from singing to presenting - in 1996 they got a taste of Bafta glory when the Ant and Dec Show, which used to be on the BBC, won an award. In 1998 they launched SM:TV Live and CD:UK, mixing music, comedy and cartoons. The show was co-hosted with Cat Deeley - a British presenter who now hosts So You Think You Can Dance in America. The pair have hosted lots of other programmes and game shows over the years and among the many awards they've won, they've picked up 14 at the National Television Awards in the category of most popular entertainment presenter. They won it for the first time in 2001 and have kept winning every year since! Among the well-known shows they present are I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, which they've hosted since it started in 2002, and Britain's Got Talent, which launched in 2007. The miner, which will be erected on a plinth in the heart of Laxey, is currently being constructed in Bali by an artist called Ongky Wijana. The Great Laxey Mine employed more than 600 miners between 1825 and 1929. Co-ordinator Ivor Hankinson said: "The miners were so brave, and this statue will mean they are remembered forever." He added: "In addition we will have a plaque on the wall showing the names of 32 people who died in the mine. I think that is important because they did so much for the Isle of Man and worked so hard at a very difficult job." Once erected on its plinth, the stone miner statue will stand at about 13ft high. It will replace a wooden carving of a miner which was removed in 2008 after it disintegrated with age. Funding for the statue was provided by a benefactor, a Laxey resident who left money for the project in her will. "This lady died in 2012 at the age of 97, but she would have been so pleased that one of her final wishes is coming to fruition," said Mr Hankinson. "She was saddened when the wooden miner had to be taken down so this would have meant a lot to her - as it will for everybody in the village." Stone Carver Ongky Wijana said: "I was honoured to be asked to do the Laxey piece. It's a big public piece of work so I'm very proud that people from all over will be able to see it and it will represent Laxey, which is such a beautiful town." The Laxey mines were among the riches sources of zinc, lead and silver anywhere in the British Isles in the latter half of the 19th Century. Declan Aaron McCallion, from Elaghmore Park in the Galliagh area of Londonderry, is the husband of Sinn Mayor Elisha McCallion. He has been charged with physically assaulting a man. He is also charged with assaulting the man's wife by placing her in fear of immediate violence. He was released on bail and ordered not to be intoxicated in public. Mr McCallion has been further charged with disorderly behaviour and with resisting a police officer in the due execution of his duty. The four offences are alleged to have happened before midnight on 19 May at Academy Road. A police officer told district judge Barney McElholm that he could connect the defendant to each of the four charges. A defence solicitor said he had no questions for the officer and added that the case should not trouble the court. The solicitor applied for the case to be adjourned until 17 June to allow him to receive information on other matters. His application was granted by the district judge. As part of his bail conditions Mr McCallion must submit to a preliminary breath test if he is ever asked to do so by the police. The judge also ordered the defendant not to have any direct or indirect contact with the injured parties or with any prosecution witnesses in the case. The Washington Hotel on East Parade, Llandudno, was most recently a nightclub until it closed in 2012. Dylan's restaurant chain, which has two other premises in north Wales, hopes to reopen it in 2017 after renovation work, creating 40 jobs. The building first opened in 1885 but was rebuilt in 1925 after being destroyed in a fire. Research by the charity showed the numbers getting help had fallen from just over one million three years ago to 850,000 last year. Age UK said the cuts were one of the major causes behind the growing pressures on A&E units. But councils said they had been left with little choice because they were "chronically underfunded". The overall cut in numbers getting help from councils represents a drop of one-fifth. But the research - based on an analysis of official figures - also provided a detailed breakdown of which individual services had been cut. It found between 2010-11 and 2013-14: Age UK director Caroline Abrahams said: "Our state-funded social care system is in calamitous, quite rapid decline. "The more preventive services like meals on wheels and day care are being especially hard hit, leaving the system increasingly the preserve of older people in the most acute need, storing up big problems for the future. "Hundreds of thousands of older people who need social care are being left high and dry. The lucky ones have sufficient funds to buy in some support, or can rely on the goodwill of family, neighbours and friends. But there are many who are being left to struggle on entirely alone." Previous research by the charity has shown there are nearly 900,000 people who do not get any help for their care needs. "Until recently the impact of the decline in social care has been relatively hidden, but social care is a crucial pressure valve for the NHS and the evidence of what happens when it is too weak to fulfil that function is clear for us all to see," Ms Abrahams added. Over the past three months waiting times in A&E units have reached their worst level for a decade with hospitals reporting they are experiencing particular problems trying to discharge old and frail patients because of the lack of support available in the community. Izzi Seccombe, of the Local Government Association, said the system was "chronically underfunded". "Councils have protected our most vulnerable people as far as possible, often at the expense of other services, and we will continue to prioritise those most in need. "However, the combined pressures of insufficient funding, growing demand, escalating costs and a 40% cut to local government budgets across this parliament mean that despite councils' best efforts they are having to make tough decisions about the care services they can provide." But a Department of Health spokeswoman said the April launch of the Better Care Fund - a £5.3bn pot predominantly funded from the NHS to encourage greater integration between health and care - would help. "We know we need to work differently to respond to our growing ageing population." She added the fund would "focus resources on helping people to live independently, which will save money and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions". The loss of Will Gidman and James Taylor during the final morning left the home side 134-5, only 121 ahead. But Patel hit 11 fours in his 76 before being caught behind off Will Rhodes. Read (83 not out) and and Vernon Philander (38) then shared an unbroken stand of 109 before a declaration on 354-7 ended the game as a draw. Yorkshire's five seamers put in plenty of effort on a pitch offering them little assistance, but the absence of spinner Adil Rashid, who is with the England tour squad in the Caribbean, was keenly felt. Part-timers Jack Leaning and Alex Lees provided the only spin options at skipper Andrew Gale's disposal. And although Leaning had Riki Wessels (43) caught behind after putting on 79 for the sixth wicket with Patel, he proved expensive, conceding 82 from his 14 overs. Read was let off on 14 when Gale failed to hold a low chance at cover off Jack Brooks and he struck a six and 10 fours after tea. Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell: "It ebbed and flowed throughout. "There were periods today when we lost wickets at crucial times and we had to fight and battle hard, but over the four days there was a lot of good cricket played by both teams. "When we went out on Sunday morning in the gloom and doom, with the floodlights on, and the ball nipping around I thought a score of about 275 would be par but Alex Hales played an outstanding innings. "The wicket got flatter over the second and third days, I'll reserve judgement on how well we bowled on it, but Yorkshire played very well." Yorkshire head coach Jason Gillespie: "I thought it was a great effort by our lads but full credit to Chris (Read) and Vernon (Philander), in particular, because we couldn't break that partnership. "We were a bit disappointed because we felt we were in with a chance of winning the game, but once they got together it proved difficult indeed. "Having said that, with the view that we are without so many players on Test duty in the West Indies and also with Ryan Sidebottom out injured, the opening games have proved to be a decent return for us. "We would have been quite happy to chase something like eight runs an over in the final session if we had been able to manufacture it." BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan: "Yorkshire had a scent of victory on the final day, but it was soon stifled as Patel hit 76, and towards the end there were runs for skipper Read. "The champions can take heart from the draw as they were without a number of key players, who are with England in the West Indies. "Notts will be pleased that in both innings, they registered big scores - so, something for both teams to take away from the stalemate."

Sophie Kamlish was told by Bath and North East Somerset Council that in order to renew her bus pass, she would need to provide a letter from her GP. The sprinter had previously visited the council offices to collect her pass, but was told showing her prosthetic leg as proof would no longer count. The council has since backtracked after she posted about the issue on Twitter. In the post Ms Kamlish said: "The council need 'more evidence' than me turning up with no leg to renew my disabled bus pass, need a letter from GP to prove my disability". It was retweeted more than 50 times before the council responded. In a statement, it said: "Following Sophie Kamlish's initial telephone call to the council on Tuesday and subsequent comment on Twitter, we looked into her case and were able to send her a new bus pass on the same day." Ms Kamlish said: "I think they clearly wanted to avoid a PR disaster, so they're going to send me one in the post now rather than make me come all the way down with a letter." She added that it was "pretty nice" that she did not have to go through the "stress" of getting someone to write her a "sick note" in order to obtain a new pass. The nineteen-year-old represented Great Britain at the 2012 Paralympics, and won a bronze medal at the IPC World Championships in France in 2013. Kancoat was backed despite civil servants warning it had a "weak" business plan and was high risk. The assembly's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said ministers "ignored its own due diligence" and "poured good money after bad" into the firm. The Welsh Government said it had changed its procedures since. Defending ministers' overall record supporting business, Carwyn Jones told AMs during First Minister's Questions: "There must be an acceptance of risk by government or we wouldn't support anything." Kancoat, based at the old Alcoa factory in Waunarlwydd, Swansea, was set up to coat metal used to make food cans and other products. Between May 2012 and February 2014 it was given a mix of loans and grants totalling £3.4m by the Welsh Government. The bulk of the support was given after the Welsh Government's own financial due-diligence reviewer raised concerns about Kancoat's financial projections in February 2013. The review said Kancoat's business plan appeared "weak and inconsistent" and the project was identified as high risk. A request for support had previously been turned down by the government's investment arm Finance Wales due to an "unacceptably high" risk. The company went into administration in September 2014. The PAC report on Tuesday said the government investment "defied its own due diligence" and "failed to recognise or mitigate against a number of potential risks". The committee "remains unconvinced" the government should have made "even its initial investment". It said it expected a "much more considered approach to risk identification and mitigation" in future. The PAC has made several recommendations including: In August 2016 Sir Alistair Graham, a former watchdog on standards in public life, said the then economy minister Edwina Hart had a potential conflict of interest when she approved support for Kancoat, because it was based less than half a mile from her constituency. The Conservatives later claimed Ms Hart had broken the ministerial code by approving the funding, a charge rejected by the Welsh Government. Mr Jones said the code had not been breached because Kancoat was not based in Ms Hart's Gower constituency. Tuesday's report said the committee did not find "evidence of undue influence" from Edwina Hart but the "potential for a perceived conflict of interest should have been identified". During the inquiry, a senior civil servant admitted the investment panel which recommended the support "got it wrong". A Welsh Government spokesman said: "This was a complex case, as was recognised by the previous Welsh Audit Office report. "As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we regularly review our procedures and since this case we have implemented a number of key changes." Welsh Conservative economy spokesman Russell George said the report showed "significant failings" in the government's due diligence process. "In the spirit of Don Quixote, the investment was made in the face of sound advice and several red flags, resulting in the white elephant we are left with today," he said. Plaid Cymru's Simon Thomas said the first minister has a "job of work to justify" why he felt the Kancoat project should have been approved by Ms Hart. "The public accounts committee report makes it clear that its about the perception of interest as well as actual interest that the ministerial code has to deal with," he said. "I don't think he (Mr Jones) dealt with it appropriately." Mr Thomas later told AMs that he had been told of allegations by workers at the company that "several directors at the time they were laying off workers were employing themselves for a period of time at a cost of up to £7,000 per month as self-employed consultants or otherwise employed full time with Kancoat". Responding, Economy Minister Ken Skates said he would "investigate whether the directors of that company stand to benefit at all post the company's collapse". He also indicated ministers would accept most of the recommendations in the PAC report. A request for an interview with Mrs Hart was turned down. The Trotters lost their unbeaten home record on Tuesday as Birmingham City won 1-0 at the Macron Stadium. It means Bolton, the division's lowest scorers with nine goals, have lost three straight matches and won just once in all competitions this season. "I think it is apparent that there is a lack of quality at times," Lennon, 44, told BBC Radio Manchester. "We're relying on players to improve and make the most of the opportunities that come their way and they are not doing that at the minute." Lennon took over at Wanderers in October last year when they were bottom of the league and guided the club to safety. Asked if there would be money available in January for transfers, the former Celtic boss added: "I don't know how much we've got, whether it be from the owner or the chairman. "We have talked about players, we are still endeavouring to bring a player in and it's been like that for the past couple of weeks." The changes will involve Shell stopping its exploration programme in Alaska. On Thursday, Shell posted 'clean' profits - which strip out the impact of oil price movements - of $2.9bn (£1.7bn) for the last quarter of 2013, down from $5.6bn on the period in 2012. It comes a week after Shell issued a "significant" profits warning. Shell 'B' shares were up 3% in early afternoon London trading, but closed up just 1%. New chief executive Ben van Beurden, a month into the job, said on Thursday that "the landscape the company had expected has changed". On 17 January, Shell, the world's third-largest publicly-quoted oil company, surprised investors with a warning about profits for the quarter to the end of December, blaming high exploration costs, pressures across the oil industry and disruption in Nigeria. Thursday's quarterly profits were broadly in line with expectations following the profits warning, and took full-year 'clean' profits to $19.5bn, against $25.3bn in 2012. Mr van Beurden took over as chief executive on 1 January, replacing Peter Voser. The new boss said in a statement on Thursday: "Our overall strategy remains robust, but 2014 will be a year where we are changing emphasis, to improve our returns and cash flow performance." Capital spending will fall to $37bn this year from $46bn in 2013, Shell said, adding that, for the time being, it was also scrapping a controversial exploration programme in Alaska. 'Hard choices' Last week, a US court ruled that a full assessment of the environmental risk associated with the Alaska exploration had not been carried out by the US government. Shell had spent around $4.5bn exploring for oil off the coast of Alaska since 2005, but has faced strong environmental opposition. "We are making hard choices in our world-wide portfolio to improve Shell's capital efficiency", Mr van Beurden said. The Anglo-Dutch company said it would increase the pace of asset sales, targeting disposals of $15bn this year. Mr van Beurden said: "The landscape the company had expected has changed. Factors such as the worsening security situation in Nigeria in 2013, and delays to non-operated projects in several other countries, have altered the outlook. "Oil prices remain high globally, but North America natural gas prices and associated crude markers remain low." Detectives from the Met's Flying Squad charged the men, aged between 48 and 76, with conspiracy to burgle on Wednesday evening. They have been remanded in custody to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday. A ninth man who was also arrested has been released on bail pending further enquiries, police said. The contents of 56 safe deposit boxes were taken during the raid in London's jewellery district over Easter weekend. The full list of those charged: Two of the men charged are believed to be father and son. Brian Reader, 76, and Paul Reader, 50, who is also known as Brian, were both arrested at an address in Dartford, Kent. It comes after nine suspects were detained on Tuesday following police raids on 12 properties in the London and Kent areas. Officers said bags containing a significant amount of high-value property had been recovered at one of the addresses and they were confident some were items stolen during the burglary. It is believed jewellery worth up to £200m was taken during the raid. Thieves used heavy cutting equipment to break into a vault at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd, where they ransacked about 70 boxes. The Flying Squad has apologised after it emerged a security firm's call about an intruder alert at the premises shortly after midnight on Good Friday was deemed not to require a response. Police confirmed alarm response procedures had not been followed at the time of the raid, but the Met rejected suggestions they were bungling "Keystone Kops". An appeal has also been launched for information about a white Ford Transit van, registration DU53 VNG, captured on CCTV in Hatton Garden on 2 April. New laws to allow gay marriage are expected to be introduced in England and Wales before the next election in 2015. There are no plans for similar legislation in Northern Ireland, assembly members as recently as October rejected a proposal that same-sex couples should have the right to marry. But the issue of gay marriage is on the political radar in the Republic. In Dublin, a group of tourists are taking photographs of Leinster House - home of the Irish houses of parliament - through the railings on Kildare Street. Jackie Mullins is standing close by, holding a large placard. "I'm in support of the right of gay and lesbian persons to marry in this country" she said. "I don't believe that the state should pick out people on the basis of their sexual orientation and gender and say to them, 'you're the wrong orientation so we're going to say you can't get married'. "The state needs to protect its minorities and I feel that protecting the rights of gay and lesbian people is really important." Same-sex couples in the Republic of Ireland have been able to enter a civil partnership since January 2011, but not marriage. "Human rights affect people and we are talking, in this case, about the right of people to equal treatment" says Fine Gael TD Jerry Buttimer. "If we want to see an Ireland of equals then the next logical step for me is the achievement of marriage equality." Last year, Jerry Buttimer became the first Fine Gael Dail deputy to come out as gay after his party launched a new forum to push for gay equality. "In my case it was about showing leadership, especially on the issue of marriage equality, and it's about having a position where I can come out and say as a gay person, I think we should have equality," he said. "The support I have received has been tremendous, from people of different age groups and walks of life. "It's a personal journey for everyone but it's also a shared journey where we can advance the lives of so many people." Opponents claim that gay marriage would change what they say is now child-centred to a more adult-centred institution. "Marriage cannot be gender neutral without changing the very nature of what it is," Dr John Murray, a lecturer in theology at the Mater Dei Institute in Dublin said. "As far as I can see society is either going to have to promote the heterosexual view of marriage, in relation to mothers and fathers and children, or promote a gender neutral view, which will deny the other, I can't see how you can do both. "Up until now we have promoted the more traditional view and I think that's the way to go, to try and strengthen that whilst at the same time trying to avoid any violence or bullying of gay people." The Irish prime minister, or Taoiseach, has not outlined his own view on gay marriage. Enda Kenny instead points to the Constitutional Convention, a group set up to examine possible changes to the Republic of Ireland's constitution. Same sex marriage is at the top of the list. Mr Buttimer said: "I believe that the Constitutional Convention is the forum within which to initiate the debate and to make a recommendation and hopefully it will make that recommendation." He added: "Leading on from that is the need to have a referendum campaign which will have a debate, a discussion and ultimately a vote and it will be the democratic will of the people that will be the ultimate decision at the end of the day." They will choose a new president and members of parliament on mainland Tanzania and the semi-autonomous Zanzibar archipelago. They will also vote for local officials. For the first time since the country's independence in 1961, CCM is up against a formidable threat from a coalition of four main opposition parties dubbed Ukawa (Umoja wa Katiba ya Wananchi, which means Coalition for the People's Constitution). CCM holds two-thirds of the seats in parliament. It has strategically kept its identity closely linked to revered founding father Julius Nyerere. Multi-party elections in Tanzania have always taken place as scheduled. There have been accusations of fraud in past polls but presidents have stepped down at the end of their tenure and ethnic tensions over elections are virtually unheard of in the country of more than 100 ethnic groups. The incumbent, Jakaya Kikwete, has served the maximum two terms and is not seeking re-election. During his term and over the past decade, a series of high-level corruption scandals have tainted the government and seen a reduction in financial assistance to the country, one of Africa's largest aid recipients. The media have reflected the public's outrage and senior government figures have been forced to resign. The nomination of ruling party candidate Public Works Minister John Magufuli in July came as a surprise, as his rival Edward Lowassa had been seen as the favourite. But in response, Mr Lowassa defected to the Chadema (Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo) party and then mounted a formidable challenge against the CCM as leader of the Ukawa coalition. Mr Magufuli is widely considered to be tough on corruption, and is keen to tap into the general public feeling that Tanzania has lost its way after a decade of high-level corruption scandals involving the government. He has also promised to set up a special anti-corruption court if he is elected. Mr Lowassa's campaign rallies have drawn large crowds and are full of young people, many of whom are concerned about high youth unemployment. The National Electoral Commission says that 57% of the 22,750,789 registered voters are between 18 and 35 years old. But some opposition members fear Mr Lowassa's past could cost them crucial votes. He resigned as premier in 2008 after a parliamentary commission implicated him in a corruption deal with a US-based electricity company during a power crisis in 2006. He was never charged and has denied any wrongdoing but one high-profile politician, Willibrod Slaa, pulled out of Chadema over its decision to back the former CCM member. Opinion polls suggest that CCM is set to win the presidency. However, the party is likely to lose a significant number of parliamentary seats to the opposition coalition. There are six other presidential candidates including one woman, Anna Mghwira of the Alliance for Change and Transparency (ACT-Wazalendo). The main parties' manifestos concentrate on eradicating poverty and reducing youth unemployment. They want to continue developing natural gas projects. Tanzania's record of peace and stability has endured occasional political and sectarian unrest especially on Zanzibar, which is semi-autonomous and has its own president. The archipelago, which has a majority Muslim population, has also experienced some Islamist-inspired violence. The frontrunners are incumbent Zanzibari President Ali Mohammed Shein, for the CCM, and Seif Sharif Hamad is the Ukawa candidate.

The agreement was signed at an EU summit in Riga, Latvia, with the leaders of six post-Soviet nations. The loan aims to help cash-strapped Ukraine implement economic reforms, as fighting with pro-Russian rebels in the east has taken a heavy toll. Ukraine is under pressure from the EU and other international lenders to curb corruption and liberalise the economy. In other developments on Friday: In Riga, the EU also pledged €200m in grants to Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, which have signed association agreements with the 28-nation bloc. The other "Eastern Partnership" countries are Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarus. Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine are pushing for full integration with the EU, while the other three countries prefer limited co-operation with the bloc. In addition, Armenia and Belarus are members of the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union, seen by some analysts as a rival project to the EU. The Riga summit declaration criticised Russia for its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula last year. "The acts against Ukraine and the events in Georgia since 2014 have shown that the fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity within internationally recognised borders cannot be taken for granted in the 21st Century on the European continent," it said. "The EU remains committed in its support to the territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty of all its partners." The declaration recognised "the sovereign right of each partner freely to choose the level of ambition and the goals to which it aspires" in ties with the EU. At a news conference, European Council President Donald Tusk said he wanted to be as "ambitious as possible" in granting Georgia and Ukraine a visa-free regime, provided key conditions were met. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said "enormous progress" had been made on the issue. Both countries had hoped for a positive decision on the visa issue at the Riga summit, but it will not happen until next year at the earliest. Last year, Moldova was granted visa-free travel to the EU. Mr Tusk said the partnership process was a "long haul". "Nobody promised that the Eastern Partnership would be an automatic way to membership of the EU." Ukraine's crisis erupted in November 2013, when the previous Ukrainian government backed away from closer ties with the EU. The mass protests sparked by that move toppled President Viktor Yanukovych and led to the conflict in the east. Russian state media are sceptical about the Eastern Partnership summit. The government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta says the gathering is "so lacking in hope and prospects that it can only be compared to fishing without a bait". "It promises nothing, not entry to the EU nor cancellation of visas, but it demands plenty," says the state-controlled Channel One TV. Rossiya1 TV adds that the Eastern Partnership scheme has "outlived its usefulness". In Ukraine too there is little positive media comment on the summit. "Ukraine itself brought about the Riga summit's failure," says Yevropeyska Pravda website. It adds that "Kiev only has itself to blame" for not implementing a visa liberalisation action plan with the EU. Source: BBC Monitoring Ukraine's economy continued its contraction in the first quarter of 2015, and Kiev faces huge debt repayments to its international creditors. More than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting in eastern Ukraine that began in April 2014 when rebels seized large parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This followed Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula. The Ukrainian government, Western leaders and Nato say there is clear evidence that Russia is helping the rebels with heavy weapons and soldiers. Independent experts echo that accusation. Moscow denies it, insisting that any Russians serving with the rebels are "volunteers". The UK's only snowsports music festival was held at the weekend. Groove CairnGorm, which made its debut in 2016, has been set up along the lines of continental snowsports music festivals Snowbombing and Snowboxx. It is held in partnership with CairnGorm Mountain ski centre and Badaguish Outdoor Centre near Aviemore. This year's acts included DJ sets by Basement Jaxx and Mike Skinner, also performances by Blonde and The Lafontaines. Photographer James Roberts captured some of the scenes from the weekend. Mr Petraeus resigned from his post at the CIA in 2012, after it emerged he was having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. He could have faced a year in prison, after his guilty plea two months ago. He led the 2007 troop surge in the Iraq war and served as commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan. Mr Petraeus reached a plea bargain with prosecutors after admitting to leaking sensitive material to Ms Broadwell while she was working on a book about him. Prosecutors said that he gave her eight binders of classified material in 2011, which he had improperly kept from his time leading the war in Afghanistan. In a federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay a $100,000 (£66,400). Prosecutors recommended the same length of probation, but a smaller fine of $40,000. Judge David Kessler raised the fine to "reflect the seriousness of the offence". Appearing in court before the sentencing, Mr Petraeus apologised for his actions. And when he left court, he thanked those who had supported him and added: "I look forward to moving on to the next phase in my life." Both sides had first-half chances but Blues led at the break when Che Adams turned in Stephen Gleeson's cross. Wolves equalised with Joe Mason's curling shot and Danny Batth put Wolves ahead after Matt Doherty was denied. Blues substitute Jack Storer was sent off for a headbutt on Kortney Hause before Iceland international Jon Dadi Bodvarsson fired in Wolves' third. While Gary Rowett's side slipped to a first league defeat of 2016-17, Wolves are yet to lose a competitive game since Walter Zenga took charge on the eve of the campaign. Former Sheffield United forward Adams marked his first home appearance for Birmingham with his first goal for the club, which came shortly after Wolves had lost midfielder Lee Evans to injury. But a revitalised Wanderers hit back immediately after the interval through Mason and then Bodvarsson, who missed a penalty in Tuesday's home draw with Ipswich, rounded off the visitors' display with an excellent shot past Birmingham keeper Tomasz Kuszczak in the closing stages. Media playback is not supported on this device Birmingham manager Gary Rowett: "We have to be better at home and how we manage games. The lads did a lot of good things in the first half but we then tailed off. "We have to make it more difficult for the opposition. We need to show a little more composure as a group. To lose our shape was not good enough." Media playback is not supported on this device Wolves head coach Walter Zenga: "The team played very well. They played with heart and passion and had the confidence to stay in the game. "The second half was amazing and I am very happy for them as they are working very hard. "I told them (at half-time) they played well in the first half and not to lose confidence as the chances of scoring were very high." Match ends, Birmingham City 1, Wolverhampton Wanderers 3.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach will succeed retiring General Sir Nicholas Houghton as chief of the defence staff. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said he would be "working closely" with Sir Stuart in "taking the fight to Daesh", also known as the Islamic State group. Sir Stuart, who is currently vice chief of the defence staff, will take up his new position this summer. Prime Minister David Cameron said Sir Stuart had demonstrated "exemplary leadership of the armed forces" and boasted "an extraordinary record of achievement". His experience would be "invaluable as we continue to ensure our brave armed forces remain among the most capable and agile in the world", the prime minister added. By Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent This appointment is a big surprise. Within the MoD two candidates were being discussed - army general, Sir Richard Barrons, and first sea lord, Admiral George Zambellas. There has been an expectation that the three services would take turns in the job. Given the last two men to hold the job have been army generals, that might have counted against Sir Richard. But the Royal Navy has not had a chief of the defence staff since 2003, and would have felt it was their turn. Admiral Zambellas is certainly seen as charismatic, but that might not be how the prime minister likes his military commanders. Remember David Cameron's quote: "You do the fighting and I'll do the talking." Sir Stuart is his own man - a plain speaker and, like his service, far from stuffy. But he is also a known quantity. He may also be seen as less "partisan" than the other candidates. Sir Stuart, a father-of-two, was commissioned into the RAF in 1977. He served in Belize, Hong Kong and Germany in the 1980s, and held senior roles during operations in Turkey, Iraq and Kosovo. Sir Stuart commanded the air warfare centre at RAF Waddington for three years and served as director-general of intelligence collection in the Ministry of Defence between 2003 and 2006. He later became chief of defence intelligence and deputy chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee in 2006, holding the title until 2009. Sir Stuart was named as the first commander of the UK joint forces command in 2011, and was appointed to the armed forces' second most senior role in 2013. Mr Fallon said he was "delighted" with Sir Stuart being made armed forces chief. "Sir Stuart has been an outstanding VCDS [vice chief of defence staff] and I look forward to working closely with him in taking the fight to Daesh and ensuring we have the best armed forces to keep Britain safe," he added. The midfielder, who struck the opening goal in the 2-0 win, thanked manager Brendan Rodgers for starting him ahead of fit-again Tom Rogic. "Tom was back fit and he's done incredibly well this year as well," said the 23-year-old. "So it was good for the manager to back me and I've repaid him with the goal." Asked if it was his best day in a Celtic shirt, McGregor replied: "I think it would be pretty close. "It was massive for me. I've been at this club since I was nine years old and you dream of days like that at Hampden, in semi-finals, finals, and scoring against Rangers. "It doesn't get any better than that for a young boy coming through the system. "That moment when the ball hit the back of the net, it was unbelievable." The midfielder paid tribute to Rodgers, whose side have already retained the league title and won the League Cup in his first season at Celtic Park. "Technically and tactically, it has been a real learning curve for everybody in the squad," said McGregor. "This season, with the manager having come in, it is a breath of fresh air for us." McGregor thought Rodgers' influence showed on Sunday when they had to wait several minutes for the injured Moussa Dembele to be replaced with Leigh Griffiths. "You see the tactical awareness we showed when we went down to 10 men - we knew we had to sit in and wait to get Griff on the pitch and we could go on the attack again," he said. "It is just wee things like that the boys have learned massively from. "T think we made it easier for ourselves with the way we played. Rangers found it hard to deal with our rotation in the middle." McGregor, who is contracted until 2019, insisted that he has had no thoughts about leaving in search of more regular starts. "I've always wanted to stay," said the midfielder, who spent the 2013-14 season on loan to Notts County. "Even when I was maybe out of the team or not playing so much, it is still a great place to be. "It is the only club I know really, so for me to kick on and get a new deal, that would be excellent for me." Celtic travel across Glasgow to face city rivals Rangers again on Saturday, this time in the Premiership. "It will be different game," stressed McGregor. "It is at their place as well and it's always harder to go there and get on the ball and play. "Especially after the result on Sunday, they'll be up for it." Ancestors of modern people in Europe, Asia and Oceania migrated along a southern route, not a northern route through Egypt as some had supposed. The results from the Genographic Project are published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution. It suggests an important role for South Asia in the peopling of the world. The ancestors of present-day non-African people left their ancestral homeland some 70,000 years ago. The researchers found that Indian populations had more genetic diversity - which gives an indication of the age of a population - than either Europeans or East Asians. This supports the idea that pioneering settlers followed a southern coastal route as they populated east Asia and continued into Oceania. "This suggests that other fields of research such as archaeology and anthropology should look for additional evidence on the migration route of early humans," said co-author Ajay Royyuru, senior manager at IBM's Computational Biology Center, which was involved in analysing the study data. A route out of Africa via the Arabian Peninsula, along the southern coast of Asia, explained the observed patterns in genetic diversity much better than a route through Egypt's Sinai desert. This agrees with other evidence showing that sea levels might have been low enough around 60-70,000 years ago for humans to cross from the horn of Africa into Arabia via the Bab-el-Mandeb straits in the Red Sea. The latest findings are based on a new analytical method which exploits patterns of recombination in human genomes. Recombination is the process by which molecules of DNA are broken up and recombine to form new pairs. The scientists used these patterns of recombination to trace relationships between different present-day humans. "Almost 99% of the genetic makeup of an individual are layers of genetic imprints of the individual's many lineages. Our challenge was whether it was even feasible to tease apart these lineages to understand the commonalities," said IBM researcher Laxmi Parida. "Through a determined approach of analytics and mathematical modelling, we undertook the intricate task of reconstructing the genetic history of a population. In doing so, we now have the tools to explore much more of the human genome." Dr Spencer Wells, director of the Genographic Project, said such methods could provide "greater insights into the migratory history of our species". Nearly 500,000 individuals have participated in the project, making it one of the biggest surveys of human genetic variation ever conducted. The DNA was contributed by indigenous peoples and by members of the general public. Andrew Bickel, 39, was fixing a faulty light at the Catwel shop in Heath on Thursday as a favour for the cat re-housing charity. He said he nipped outside to get something from his van and when he returned his tools had been sold. "The lady in the shop was really upset," said Mr Bickel. "Fortunately I can laugh at it now". Mr Bickel, from Heath, later posted on Facebook: "Doing a love job in a charity shop, put my tools down, went to the van, came back and the old lady on the till sold them for £1. "Funny but fuming. Over £200 worth." After his post was shared almost 90 times, an electrical company on Ocean Way, Cardiff got in touch and offered him a new set of tools free of charge. "It was a really kind gesture," said Mr Bickel. Mr Bickel said when he went into the charity shop on Thursday it was busy. He left his tools by a bookcase and went to get something from his van. When he returned and asked where his tools were, he said the lady in the shop "put her hand over her mouth" and said they had just been sold. She told him a man came to the till saying there was no price tag on them, but he had found them in a bargain bin. "He must have known what he was doing," said Mr Bickel. The £200 tools included a wrap of professional screwdrivers, an expensive pair of pliers and wire cutters and an electricity tester. "I was laughing yesterday and am still laughing today," he said. Mr Bickel even admitted that he is allergic to cats and was "more of a dog person". Azerbaijan's Defence Ministry said three of its troops and seven Armenian troops were killed in "heavy" clashes. The Armenian authorities controlling Nagorno-Karabakh denied those losses and said "more than 10" Azerbaijani troops died or were wounded on Sunday. Nagorno-Karabakh has been in Armenian hands since a war that ended in 1994. A shaky ceasefire has been in place since then, but it is regularly broken by shelling - leaving hundreds of thousands of war refugees still displaced in both republics. Internationally the mountainous territory is still considered part of Azerbaijan. Heavy shelling also took place on Friday, in which four Armenian troops and an Azerbaijani soldier were reported killed. Later the foreign ministers of both countries - Azerbaijan's Elmar Mammadyarov and Armenia's Edvard Nalbandian - met in New York, in the presence of mediators from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). However, no breakthrough was reported. Slade broke his leg and dislocated his ankle against the same opponents in December, but returned two months ago. "The first few games, I think I came back expecting to pick up where I left off and was getting frustrated by not being up to the form of pre-injury. "I think it took a few games to get my confidence back," Slade told BBC Sport. "But this game and the last game I haven't thought about it at all so that's definitely a massive positive in my head and I now feel I'm completely over it." Having lost kicking duties and the number 10 shirt to Gareth Steenson this season, Slade impressed at outside centre before his injury, although he did not score a try until the massive win at Harlequins on the final day of the regular season. "I had the same expectations of myself, and it was disappointing not quite being able to put it to the back of my mind and not being able to do it," he said. "I had a lot of chats with the coaches on how I'm going to get through it and I just went back to basics and just focused on my job." Exeter's win over Wasps means they will face European champions Saracens with the Premiership title at stake, just six years after reaching the game's top-flight. And while the Chiefs may be underdogs, the players are confident they can win the domestic game's biggest prize. "Maybe we're surprising other people, but internally as a squad and with the coacher and everyone behind us as well, there is a massive expectation for us and we know we have a lot of confidence in our ability and we've just got to show that next week," Slade added. "I know Saracens have done the double on us this year, but we did the double on them last year. "We definitely know we can beat them. At the end of the day it is another game of rugby, but there's massive stakes on the line and we've just got to go for it." Britain's largest mortgage lender said the last time that figure was greater was in July 2014, when prices were rising by more than 10%. Prices increased by 1.7% between December and January. The Halifax said that the average cost of a house or flat in the UK had now risen to £212,430. However, rival lender Nationwide has said the annual increase in the year to January was just 4.4%. "The imbalance between supply and demand continues to exert significant upward pressure on house prices," said Martin Ellis, Halifax's housing economist. "This situation looks set to persist over the coming months. Further ahead, increasing affordability issues, as price increases continue to exceed wage growth, are likely to curb housing demand and cause price growth to ease." IHS Global Insight economist Howard Archer said the market was being supported by "helpful fundamentals, notably including decent real earnings growth, high and rising employment, relatively elevated consumer confidence, and ongoing very low mortgage interest rates." However he warned that not too much should be read into one set of figures. Last season's first-choice keeper David Button has been offered a new deal at Griffin Park but is yet to sign. Jack Bonham is now the Championship club's third-choice keeper. "I've come to play and be in the team. I've come to play at a higher level, not to sit on the bench at a higher level," Bentley, 22, told BBC London. "David Button has proved himself at this level and I've got a lot of respect for what he's achieved. Jack Bonham is a similar age to me and has been here a while as well. "I've seen at first hand what they're like in training and they're both very solid. But ultimately there is only one shirt and it's up for grabs." Brentford were close to the relegation zone before ending last season strongly and finishing ninth in the table. They reached the play-offs the previous year and Bentley believes they can challenge for promotion to the Premier League again next term. "That's the aim, the drive and ambition of this club. None of us should be here if that wasn't the aim," he said. "I'm not comfortable sitting and staying at this level. Why not try to get to the next level? "Why not try to achieve as much as we can and fulfil the potential these boys have?" Sixteen men were charged in connection with a "minor disturbance" on Chapel Street in the early hours of 28 July. Three of the men lived locally and the rest were from Eastern Europe. The Crown Office has now dropped all charges against the Eastern European men. Only a handful of supporters attended the game from Slovenia to watch Maribor draw 1-1 with the home side. A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal in Aberdeen received a report concerning 10 individuals in connection with alleged offences on 29 July, 2016. "After full and thorough consideration of the facts and circumstances, the procurator fiscal decided there should be no further action." Of all the UK nations, Wales saw the greatest fall in unemployment compared with the previous three months. But despite the drop, the rate of unemployment in Wales, 5.3%, remains higher than the UK rate of 5.1%. There were also 49,000 more people in work in Wales than the same time the previous year. Unemployment in the UK as a whole fell by 60,000 to 1.69 million between October and December. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust was issued the warning notice by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following an inspection in January. An inquest found neglect contributed to the death of Connor Sparrowhawk, 18, at Slade House in Oxford in 2013. The trust said it was "completely focused" on tackling the concerns. Last year an independent report blamed a "failure of leadership" for failing to investigate the unexplained deaths of hundreds of patients. It was ordered after Mr Sparrowhawk was found unresponsive n the bath following an epileptic seizure at the Oxford learning disability unit, which has since closed. The CQC found the trust's investigation of incidents, including deaths, was not robust enough. It said not enough was done to learn from incidents to prevent future risks to patients, and concerns raised by patients, their carers and staff were not effectively responded to. Dr Paul Lelliott, CQC deputy chief inspector of hospitals, said the safety of patients with mental ill health and or learning disabilities required "significant improvement". "We found longstanding risks to patients, arising from the physical environment, that had not been dealt with effectively. "The Trust's internal governance arrangements to learn from serious incidents or investigations were not good enough, meaning that opportunities to minimise further risks to patients were lost," he added. Following the report's publication, trust chief executive Katrina Percy said she had been "clear and open" about the work needed to address concerns raised. "Good progress has been made, however we accept that the CQC feels that in some areas we have not acted swiftly enough," she said. "My main priority is, and always has been, the safety of our patients. We take the CQC's concerns extremely seriously and have taken a number of further actions." Earlier this year the trust said there would be no resignations. Mr Sparrowhawk's mother, Sara Ryan, responded to the report on Twitter by repeating her call for resignations from the trust's senior leadership. She posted: "Completely baffled the board are still in place." "Nothing else is needed. Just action. Why the feet dragging? Astonishing," she wrote in another. Dan Scorer of learning disability charity Mencap, said the CQC warning notice showed little had changed since the independent report was published. "Families are being left questioning whether the death of their loved one should have been investigated and whether the death might have been avoided," he said. "The lack of urgency to tackle this national scandal is unacceptable," he added. The trust is one of the country's largest mental health trusts, covering Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and providing services to about 45,000 people. Children went missing from foster care on 13,305 occasions in 2013-14 - a 36% rise on the previous year. Nearly six out of 10 missing cases were from independent fostering agencies, rather than a local authority, which have just under a third of placements. The government now collects data on children who go missing from care. The risks children face if they go missing from care were highlighted by the Rotherham child abuse case. At least 1,400 children were abused in the South Yorkshire town from 1997 to 2013. According to the Ofsted statistics, during the year 2013-14, 4,245 children and young people were reported to have gone missing from foster care - 900 more than in the previous year. Contact with family or friends was the reason given in nearly half (6,596) the cases. And most of them went missing for less than a day. However, 528 of these children who did go missing were deemed to be at risk of sexual exploitation, and 431 of the cases were said to be linked to substance misuse. There was also a big increase last year in foster placements breaking down - up 21% on the previous year to 5,240. Although there has been a change in the way these are counted. Earlier this week, Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said social workers were struggling to find the time to provide agencies with enough information to match troubled and vulnerable children with the right foster carers. "Placements break down quickly when children with problems and complex needs are placed with the wrong family. The children often get returned to their birth families or moved to another set of carers - only to be removed again at a later stage. "Some children get put on a merry go round of placements which is anything but merry. Each move to a new family distresses the child further and stores up behavioural problems for the future. Moves can also disrupt children's education and ability to sustain friendships. "It's becoming harder to find families for children in care. Two things need to happen to avert a crisis. "We need to work together so we can prepare carers better to meet the needs of the children they foster. And we need to look at the changing reasons why children are being taken into care - like sexual exploitation - and plan how we're going to respond to that." A Department for Education spokesman said: "We are absolutely clear that there is nothing more important than keeping children safe. "That is why we have placed a duty on councils to interview children who return from going missing within 72 hours, and for the first time ever we are collecting national data for all children who go missing from care, not just those missing for 24 hours. "We have also repeatedly written to councils telling them they must improve the quality of data on children missing from care." Is your cat restless, nervous and getting thinner by the day, despite a huge appetite? Diabetes and hyperthyroidism are just two of the common human diseases thought to be on the rise in the pet world. Human diabetes is on the increase, and Dr Stijn Niessen, of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC,) says the same trend can be seen in pet cats. He suggests about one in every 200 pet cats now has type-2 diabetes, compared with some one in 900 just three decades ago. "Cats are designed to be hunters - but now there are lots sitting in inner-city apartments getting little exercise and being fed frequently, often as a misplaced sign of affection," Dr Niessen says. But he is quick to point out there are lots of fat cats that do not go on to develop diabetes. In some cases, it is more about genetics than lifestyle. When it comes to dogs, about three in every 1,000 have diabetes in the UK, according to the RVC. Dogs do not get type-2 diabetes, but they are more likely than cats to have type-1 diabetes, where the body's immune system stops it from being able to produce insulin, a key hormone that helps store sugar safely. In both cats and dogs (and sometimes monkeys, rabbits and even rats) with diabetes, owners often find their pets are constantly thirsty, urinating frequently and losing weight - diabetic symptoms humans and pets share. Treatment can include giving insulin injections. And some studies in cats suggest some can kick their diabetes into remission by getting rid of the extra pounds. Hyperactive, restless cats that are losing weight despite eating ravenously may have hyperthyroidism. Just like in humans, this condition occurs when the thyroid gland in the neck produces excess hormones. One way to treat an overactive thyroid is to give the cat an injection of radioactive iodine. The iodine ends up concentrated in the thyroid gland and emits radiation, killing overactive thyroid cells. This is a good way to cure hyperthyroidism, but cats have to be kept in isolation for several weeks after as they are likely to be emitting radiation in their litter trays for some time. Dogs, on the other hand, are more likely to suffer the opposite problem. About four in every 1,000 pet dogs in the UK are seen by vets for underactive thyroids. Owners might notice their pets are lazier and slower than usual and are piling on the pounds - some of the same symptoms humans with hypothyroidism share. And just like with their human counterparts, thyroid hormone replacement therapy can help. Dogs who are breathless or even collapse suddenly may end up being given Viagra. The drug is famous for helping men with erectile dysfunction. But before doctors prescribed it for this, scientists were studying it to see if it could be used as a treatment for high blood pressure. And vets now use it to treat pulmonary hypertension in dogs - high blood pressure in the lungs. One tells me she is sometimes asked by owners whether they can just give their own pills to their pets. But the answer is no. The drugs are licensed and formulated separately for people and pets. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) attacks the cat's immune system, leaving it unable to fight off other infections. In this way, it is similar to HIV in humans. In the US, between 1.5% and 3% of otherwise healthy cats are infected with FIV. Persistent fevers, a coat in poor condition and a loss of appetite are common in infected cats. Inflammation of the gums and chronic infections of the skin, eyes, bladder, and upper respiratory tract are often signs too. According to Prof Holger Volk of the RVC, about one in every 100 dogs has epilepsy. Cats also get the condition, but it is less common. It can cause convulsions, but in some cases the symptoms are not as easy to spot. Animals can be treated with anti-epileptic pills, but they do not work for every pet. Prof Volk's early work suggests a diet rich in certain fatty acids might help. And he is now conducting larger trials to see if these results stand up. Scientists in his department have also looked at videos featuring either animals or humans with epilepsy having seizures. And they concluded the animals often received more sympathy from onlookers. But sympathy and empathy aside, Dr Volk and Dr Niessen both say studying common diseases in pets could ultimately help us learn more about the diseases we experience ourselves. The 21-year-old has played seven times for Spurs, but only one of those appearances was in the top flight. Davies told Sport Wales he is determined to make the grade. "It's frustrating at times. But coming here I was taking nothing for granted that I was going to walk straight into the first team," he said. "I have to bide my time, take my chances and work hard, as I do every day. "And when that chance arises to get the games in the Premier League, then I've got to be ready for that and take it with both hands." Davies's only league appearance under Mauricio Pochettino came as a 72nd-minute substitute for Danny Rose against Liverpool, who were already 3-0 up. But he has started four Europa League matches, and the League Cup ties against Nottingham Forest and Brighton. He was also in the Wales side for their Euro 2016 qualifiers against Andorra and Bosnia-Hercegovina. "I feel like I'm improving as a player every time I get the chance to get out there," said Davies. "It's sometimes difficult not playing as many games as I'd like maybe in the Premier League, but that's part and parcel of it all." Davies made his debut for Swansea as a 19-year-old in August 2012 and quickly established himself as first-choice left-back when Neil Taylor suffered a long-term injury. He joined Spurs on a five-year contract in July and says he would not currently consider the possibility of returning to the Swans on loan. "I'm 100% focused here at the moment and I haven't really thought that far ahead," he said. "I think it would be silly of me to put that idea into my head right now. "I've got to prove to everyone here, and to myself really, that I can do a job at this club and that is what I want to do. "I want to push on as far as I can and be as successful as I can at Spurs." You can see more of the interview with Ben Davies on Sport Wales on BBC Two Wales on Friday, 7 November at 19:00 GMT and on the BBC iPlayer. He shared a 205-run fourth-wicket partnership with Adam Lyth, who made 111 before falling lbw to Sean Ervine. The hosts had been 41-3 after Alex Lees and Gary Ballance fell cheaply and captain Andrew Gale was caught behind for a duck off Ryan McLaren. Bad light stopped play with Yorkshire 270-5 and Bairstow unbeaten on 107. Hampshire toppled Yorkshire's top-order with some good length bowling as Lees was caught at third slip by James Vince off James Tomlinson before Chris Wood had England hopeful Ballance caught behind. However, Lyth and Bairstow steadied the ship and piled on the runs for the home side before the former fell just after tea to give Zimbabwean Ervine a wicket in the 200th first-class match of his career. After remaining in the nervous 90s for 31 balls, Bairstow dispatched Fidel Edwards for successive boundaries to reach his ton off 166 balls, having hit 13 fours and a six. Adil Rashid joined the 26-year-old wicketkeeper at the crease for Yorkshire, after Jack Leaning was caught behind for Wood's second wicket of the innings just before the end of play. Meanwhile, Hampshire have been deducted a point for a slow over rate against Warwickshire during the opening week of the County Championship. Two Afghan police and one security guard were killed in the dawn assault, along with seven attackers. The US consulate said its staff were safe. The Taliban said they carried out the attack, which began with a huge blast at the compound gates, sparking a gun battle near consulate buildings. Attacks continue despite the planned withdrawal of foreign troops in 2014. Seventeen civilians, including women and children, were injured in the Herat attack. By David LoynBBC News, Kabul Herat city may usually be peaceful, but the Taliban are able to operate in the countryside nearby, and the US consulate, standing in a tall former 5-star hotel was a tempting target. The attack followed a familiar pattern of a suicide explosion followed by other attackers. In the week of the anniversary of 9/11, security forces were expecting the Taliban to attempt a 'spectacular' attack. The success of Afghan forces in repulsing a determined assault is a relief. Both the Afghan police and army are far better than they were, and Afghan police did most of the fighting in Herat, with US troops backing them up. Once again Afghan police bore the worst casualties. But 12 years after the Taliban government was ousted, their ability and willingness to carry out attacks of this sort asks serious questions about the international strategy in Afghanistan. Herat sits close to the Iranian border on a vital trade route across southern Afghanistan and it has been relatively peaceful in recent years. The US consulate in Herat was opened just four years ago in a former five-star hotel. The BBC's David Loyn in Kabul says this attack - carried out in the shadow of the anniversary of 9/11 - is a demonstration of the ability of insurgents to disrupt Afghanistan, 12 years after US-led forces toppled the Taliban. In violence elsewhere, a truck bomb exploded near government offices in the volatile south-eastern province of Paktika, injuring several Afghan security personnel. The force of the explosions in Herat left the road badly damaged and pieces of twisted metal and rubble could be seen in the vicinity of the consulate, reports say. An Afghan army spokesman told the BBC that a huge truck bomb damaged the outer defences of the US consulate, allowing the attackers to breach the perimeter and shoot at the consulate buildings. "A truck carrying attackers drove to the front gate, and attackers, possibly firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles, commenced attacking Afghan Protective forces on the exterior of the gates," US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters. "Shortly after, the entire truck exploded, extensively damaging the front gate [to the consulate]," she added. The gunfire continued for some time, reporters at the scene said. The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) tweeted at 04:00 GMT that the consulate was secure "with all enemy forces being killed". Isaf and Afghan National Security Forces were at the scene, it added. Peter Bezkorowajnyj, who works in Afghanistan, told the BBC he could see smoke from the explosion from the roof of his building. The explosion "rocked the building I am staying in", he said. Earlier this month Taliban targeted the Torkham US base in eastern Afghanistan, sparking a lengthy gun battle in which three insurgents were killed. Pole vaulter Anzhelika Sidorova, sprinter Kristina Sivkova and hammer thrower Aleksei Sokirskii all met the "exceptional eligibility criteria". Russia's athletics federation remains suspended from international competition after claims of state-sponsored doping. Sidorova, Sivkova and Sokirskii would compete as neutral athletes. Their participation in competitions is still subject to approval by the organisers of individual events. The three could compete in the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade and European Throwing Cup next month. Long jumper Darya Klishina and sprinter Yulia Stepanova had previously been declared eligible and will remain so. The IAAF has received 48 applications from Russian athletes to compete independently, 28 of which were endorsed by Russia's athletics federation. In a statement, the IAAF said six applications had been declined, but did not give the names of the athletes in question. Russian officials say they do not expect any more of their athletes to be cleared for the European Indoors as they expect the remaining rulings "no earlier than the middle of March". IAAF president Lord Coe said: "The application process to compete internationally as neutral athletes is about our desire to support the hopes and aspirations of all clean athletes including Russian athletes who have been failed by their national system. "While prioritising applications based upon the entry deadlines of the competitions concerned, the primary responsibility of the doping review board must always be to safeguard the integrity of competition." Before last summer's Olympic Games in Rio, the governing body outlined "strict criteria" any Russian athletes must meet if they wanted to take part in the Games. Only US-based Klishina was able to meet the criteria - and she entered as a neutral. More than 100 people protested over job opportunities at a new £300m multi-fuel plant in West Yorkshire. Chris Weldon, of Unite, said unemployed local workers "have got the skills but they are being overlooked". Dion Venter, site manager, said: "We are committed to using local labour and subcontractors where possible." Mr Weldon said: "There are over 300 CVs of unemployed local workers who live within 35 miles of the site." Unite said the general contactor, Zurich-based Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI), had contracted work out to some employers who were not taking on local workers. Mr Weldon said: "Most of the contractors are recruiting locally but there are two who are not sourcing local labour." He said a delegation of Unite and GMB representatives and protestors had met with power company SSE to explain their concerns. SSE would buy the electricity generated by the new plant. Mr Venter, of HZI, said the company had been working with the Unite and GMB unions and all sides had signed an agreement on how contractors would be sourced. He said the firm complied with national industry agreements and was "disappointed" about the protest. The firm said about 80% of the current work force was UK-based and it would continue to work with the unions to "maximize local opportunities". The new Ferrybridge plant by the River Aire in West Yorkshire, is to be completed by 2015. It would use biomass, waste-derived fuels and waste wood to generate electricity. In a statement, Bowie remembered him as "a wonderful musician" who had been "a major inspiration for whichever band he was working with". His death was announced by rock band Uriah Heep, who called him "a world-class bass player". Bolder, who joined the band in 1976, stopped playing with them a few months ago due to poor health. "Trevor was an all-time great, one of the outstanding musicians of his generation and one of the finest and most influential bass players that Britain ever produced," Uriah Heep said in a statement. Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp also paid tribute on Twitter, writing: "RIP another Spider from Mars, a kind and decent man, Trevor Bolder. Love and peace to his family." Bolder, who was born in Hull, East Yorkshire on 9 June 1950, joined his first band, Ronno, with guitarist Mick Ronson in 1970 after meeting on the local music scene. He joined Bowie in 1971 to play on his fourth album, Hunky Dory, along with Ronson and drummer Woody Woodmansey. This paved the way for 1972's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which launched Bowie and his bandmates into international stardom. They played together on the albums Aladdin Sane and Pin-Ups before Bowie separated from the Spiders From Mars and moved to the US. Bolder went on to join Uriah Heep, making his first appearance on their 1977 album Firefly. Ronson died in April 1993, also of cancer, at the age of 46. The new position would be supplemented by tripling the number of trade enforcement officers. Mrs Clinton made the promises during a speech at a factory in Michigan. The speech focused on contrasting her economic policies with those of her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, including his take on global trade. Mrs Clinton vowed to strengthen enforcement and oppose trade deals that did not meet her "high standards". "I will stand up to China and anyone around the world who tries to take advantage of American workers," Mrs Clinton told the crowd. "I will stop any trade deal that kills job and holds down wages." Mrs Clinton also criticised Mr Trump for his threats to start trade wars with China and Mexico. "The answer is not to rant and rave and cut ourselves off from the world. The answer is to finally make trade work for us, not against us," Mrs Clinton said. Despite that criticism, Mrs Clinton's promises echoed some of those expressed by Mr Trump. On Monday during his economic speech, Mr Trump vowed to place taxes on products from Mexico and label China a "currency manipulator". Mrs Clinton threatened to impose "targeted tariffs" on countries that did not play by the rules set out in free trade deals. She said too many companies lobbied for free trade agreement so they can export more product, but then move to countries with lower wages and sell their products back to American consumers once those deals are signed. She vowed to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) because it did not meet her standards. Mr Trump also opposes the TPP. As secretary of state, Mrs Clinton worked to craft the TPP but withdrew her support during the election when the final deal was announced. Composer Harrison Birtwistle has become the most honoured musician in the RPS's history, winning for the fifth time in his 80th birthday year. He won the chamber scale composition award for The Moth Requiem, also performed at last year's Proms. US mezzo soprano Joyce DiDonato won the singer award. She was honoured for her role as Elena in Rossini's La Donna del Lago at the Royal Opera House and also her performance at the Last Night of the Proms. It is the second time she has won the award. Other winners included Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, who picked up the award for instrumentalist, while pianist Igor Levit won the young artists award. George Benjamin won the RPS award for large scale composition for his opera Written on Skin at the Royal Opera House. In a special presentation, the Society's highest honour, the RPS Gold Medal, was presented to the celebrated English bass Sir John Tomlinson. He has joined an illustrious group of RPS gold medallists including Barenboim, Sir Simon Rattle and Placido Domingo. In a statement, the RPS said: "There are no pretensions about John Tom. For him, celebrity status is irrelevant - the crucial thing is singing; and it is the desire to sing and communicate, and the obsession to get it right every time, that drive him." Welsh National Opera won the opera and music theatre award for productions including Lulu, Lohengrin and Paul Bunyan. London's Southbank Centre picked up the festivals and series award for its year-long classical music festival, The Rest is Noise. A special programme devoted to the RPS Music Awards will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Sunday at 2200 BST. Outgoing Proms director and controller of BBC Radio 3 Roger Wright said: "The range of the year's awards is another sign of the high quality in live music-making and new work. "We are thrilled to have broadcast so much of the award-winning music and performers - and, in particular, to have been responsible through the BBC Proms for the remarkable Ring cycle conducted by Daniel Barenboim."

The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader will visit the Somerset site on Sunday, although no timing has been announced. Festival organiser Emily Eavis said she was "honoured" to welcome him, calling his visit "a special moment for the festival". Kanye West, The Who and Florence and the Machine top the bill for the festival, which opened yesterday. Florence stepped in after Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg, forcing the band to pull out. Other acts appearing include Rudimental, Burt Bacharach, Pharrell Williams, Mark Ronson and The Moody Blues. The Dalai Lama will be talking in the festival's Green Fields area. A spokesman said the key themes of his visit would be "the promotion of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's message of compassion, non-violence and the oneness of humanity". Glastonbury will also have a visit from Professor Stephen Hawking, who is due to appear in the Kidz Field. It's not known what format his "performance" will take. And the festival has not lost its political principles. This year, two members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot will appear to give talks about their protests against President Vladimir Putin. The 22-year-old was getting into his car at Ulsterville Gardens at about 19:00 GMT on Saturday when the men demanded his keys and money. When he refused, they attacked him then ran off empty-handed. He was treated in hospital for head and facial injuries. A short time later, three men aged 20, 22 and 25 were arrested nearby at Donegall Avenue in the Village area. Police have appealed for information. General secretary Frances O'Grady told delegates at its annual conference in Brighton that mistreatment is becoming more widespread in the UK. She warned "greedy" businesses that her organisation would "shine a light on you". This comes amid a renewed focus by trade unions on improving conditions for workers. The TUC said the type of working practices "typified" by Sports Direct, which has been under fire for the treatment of its staff, was becoming more widespread. "Sports Direct may be in the spotlight now, but they are not the only ones. There are other big companies that bring shame on our country. So let me give fair warning to any greedy business that treats its workers like animals - we will shine a light on you," Ms O'Grady told delegates. "Run a big brand with a dirty little secret? A warehouse of people paid less than the minimum wage? A fleet of couriers who are slaves to an app? Let me put you on notice. There will be no hiding place. We will organise and we will win," she said. Sports Direct's decision to end zero hours contracts in stores and put some agency workers on permanent contracts was a spectacular win for the trade union movement. But unions know that the number of people on zero hours contracts is rising and self-employment continues to grow. So, they are responding to this growing casualisation of the workforce - both to help those that are being exploited but also to sign up young people who are under-represented in trade unions. Unions have also launched legal action against businesses like courier and taxi firms which have thousands of self-employed drivers who are not classified as workers and who don't enjoy basic workers rights. Last week, Sports Direct promised to improve conditions after the sportswear chain's lawyers produced a critical report of how some staff were treated. MPs had previously said working practices at the Shirebrook warehouse in Derbyshire were closer to "that of a Victorian workhouse than that of a modern High Street retailer". Ms O'Grady said the firm's promise to abolish zero-hours contracts for its directly employed, casual retail staff - and to make sure all staff were paid above the national minimum wage - was down to "trade union shareholder power". "Britain's unions will not rest until every worker gets the fair treatment they deserve," she said. The TUC general secretary earlier praised the actions of pub chain Wetherspoons which said it would now allow all staff on zero-hours contracts to move to ones that provided guaranteed minimum hours after trialling the idea in parts of the business. "The success of the Wetherspoons trial proves that businesses can be successful without zero-hours contracts," she said. The US State Department is still studying whether to go ahead with the Keystone XL project. Mrs Clinton has previously avoided taking a position on the matter. But at a campaign event, Mrs Clinton said the pipeline would be a "distraction from the important work we have to do to combat climate change". "Therefore, I oppose it," she told supporters in Iowa. Until now, Mrs Clinton, a former secretary of state, had avoiding giving an opinion on the project, saying she did not want to interfere with the Obama administration's deliberations. But her main rival for the Democratic candidacy, Bernie Sanders, has long opposed the scheme and called on her to make her position clear. The 1,179-mile (1,897km) pipe was first proposed seven years ago, and would transport oil from the oil sands in Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico via Nebraska. Supporters say the project will create jobs and US increase energy security, while opponents say it will only increase carbon emissions. Salford went six points ahead on three separate occasions, but were pegged back each time by the Vikings. A Josh Jones try and two Gareth O'Brien penalties stretched Salford's lead to 10 points, before Corey Thompson's score for Widnes set up a tense finish. However, Caton-Brown dived over with two minutes remaining to seal a third win for Salford over Widnes in 2016. Hull KR's loss to Hull FC on Thursday meant Widnes were already guaranteed a top-eight spot, while Salford are unable to finish any higher than ninth. Caton-Brown's opener was cancelled out by the first of Matt Whitley's two scores for the home side, while Justin Carney and Patrick Ah Van swapped tries to make 12-12 at half-time. The pick of Salford's five touchdowns was Caton-Brown's second, the former London Broncos man finishing a move that started on halfway with Robert Lui's superb offload, only for Whitley to level again. After the Red Devils had gone 26-16 up, Thompson's try came while both sides were down to 12 men, with Jack Buchanan of Widnes and Salford's Craig Kopczak both in the sin-bin following a scuffle. But Caton-Brown had the final say, powering over in the corner to complete his treble in the closing seconds. Widnes Vikings: Hanbury; Thompson, Runciman, Marsh, Ah Van; Mellor, Brown; Burke, White, Buchanan, Whitley, Dean, Houston. Replacements: Cahill, Heremaia, Manuokafoa, Farrell. Salford Red Devils: O'Brien; Caton-Brown, J. Griffin, Sa'u, Carney; Lui, Dobson; Kopczak, Tomkins, G. Griffin, Murdoch-Masila, Jones, Flanagan. Replacements: Krasniqi, Hauraki, Kenny, Evalds. Referee: Gareth Hewer The team were studying the birth of stars when they discovered a supermassive black hole and saw clouds speeding towards it at 800,000 mph. The observation supports a theory black holes feed on clouds of cold gas. Dr Timothy Davis from the school of physics and astronomy said it was a "magical" experience. He added: "At that very moment, nature gave us a clear view of this complicated process, allowing us to understand supermassive black holes in a way that has never been possible before. "It's possible that the black hole has an ever bigger appetite and is devouring even more of these cold clouds of gas surrounding it." Researchers said previous models suggested the gradual growth of supermassive black holes happened when surrounding hot gas accumulates smoothly onto them. But these observations - a first - suggest in addition to this, these black holes may occasionally "gobble up" faster-moving cold gas as it comes nearby. The astronomers are part of an international team studying the Abell 2597 galaxy, one of the brightest in the universe. The results were published in the journal Nature on Wednesday. Prof Michael Macdonald, co-author of the paper, from MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, admits they got "very lucky." "We could probably look at 100 galaxies like this and not see what we saw just by chance," he said. Dover realistically needed to win to have any chance of overhauling Aldershot for the final play-off position and sit three points adrift with a goal difference inferior by six, with just a game to go. The hosts enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges but Oliver Norburn opened the scoring for the visitors in the 31st minute when he was at the back post to convert from close range after a long ball from the right. But Dover were level five minutes before the interval when they were awarded a penalty and Ricky Miller sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the spot. Anthony Dudley then fired Macclesfield ahead in the 73rd minute when his shot went through the legs of goalkeeper Mitch Walker. Dover at least earned a point through Ross Lafayette's late goal but it kept their promotion hopes only barely alive. They travel to Barrow on Saturday while Aldershot host relegation-threatened Braintree. Match report supplied by Press Association. Match ends, Dover Athletic 2, Macclesfield Town 2.

Russia has since demanded an explanation of the "vandal incident", the Itar-Tass agency reported. It is the latest in a series of modifications of the monument which have tried to make political points. Reports had suggested Connor was considering a new contract with Giants after they offered improved terms. Connor agreed to join Hull FC in June, but was waiting after his 22nd birthday in October to complete the move. Rugby league teams are entitled to compensation for players under the age of 22 who sign elsewhere having been offered terms at their current club. In a statement, the club said: "The contract, which is signed by both the player and the club, was lodged and accepted by the Rugby Football League. "This contract is legally binding and states that the player has signed for Hull FC and will join the club from the 1 December 2016 in preparation for the new season. "If the contract is not fulfilled for any reason then the club will have to pursue legal proceedings for breach of that contract and for the inducement of that breach." A Saudi-led coalition launched air strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen six weeks ago. At least 1,400 people have been killed, the UN says. US Secretary of State John Kerry said Saudi Arabia and Yemeni rebels are discussing when to start the ceasefire. The Saudi foreign minister said any truce would depend on the rebels' co-operation. Saudi Arabia insists the Houthis must lay down their arms for the humanitarian ceasefire to be implemented. The rebels have not yet responded to the appeal. The Saudi-led coalition aims to restore the government of exiled President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. He fled the capital Sanaa in February and took refuge in the southern port city of Aden, before leaving for Saudi Arabia. Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia has accused Shia-led Iran of backing the Houthis, who are affiliated with the Zaidi sect of Shia Islam. Tehran denies the accusations. Aden has seen some of the heaviest fighting in recent weeks, with hundreds of families reported to be trapped in the city centre with dwindling supplies. Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Assistance, said at least 6,000 people had been injured in the fighting, many of them civilians in Aden. "People in Aden have endured extreme hardship as a result of conflict over the last six weeks and must be able to move to safer areas to seek medical and other assistance," Mr Laerke said. The key word in Saudi Arabia's proposed ceasefire announcement in Yemen is "conditional". It depends, say the Saudis, on Yemen's Houthi rebels laying down their weapons and stopping fighting. Even if their leaders agree to that condition, it is far from certain that will translate into a ceasefire on the ground. The last time the Saudis announced a pause in their air strikes to allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians, the Saudis say the rebels took advantage of the lull to seize a major military barracks and advance further into the port of Aden. The air strikes then resumed. The Saudis don't trust the rebels but they also know they can't keep bombing Yemen indefinitely. At a press conference in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al Jubeir said $274m (£180m) would be provided in humanitarian assistance. However, on Wednesday, a statement by 22 aid agencies working in Yemen said a humanitarian pause would "not alleviate the humanitarian impacts of the current conflict". The charities - who say their work is being hampered by a lack of fuel in Yemen - called instead for a permanent end to the fighting. Also in Riyadh, Mr Kerry said the US and Saudi Arabia did not have plans to send ground troops into Yemen. This is despite earlier pleas by Yemen's government to the UN to authorise the deployment of foreign ground forces. A letter to the UN said Houthis were "targeting anything that moves" in Aden. Mr Bernardi confirmed his move in Australia's upper house on Tuesday, ending months of speculation. The outspoken senator has repeatedly criticised PM Malcolm Turnbull's government for being too moderate. Mr Bernardi's views on topics including same-sex marriage, climate change and abortion have polarised public opinion. "This has been a very difficult decision for me," Mr Bernardi said. "Perhaps the most difficult one of my political life." "The level of public disenchantment with the major parties, the lack of confidence in our political process and the concern about the direction of our nation is very, very strong." Mr Bernardi said he had not spoken "to any sitting MPs" about joining his party, but he would run candidates at the next election. The 47-year-old South Australian was first elected to the Senate in 2006 after becoming the youngest ever Liberal Party state president aged 29. The son of an Italian immigrant father and fourth-generation Australian mother, Mr Bernardi was a stockbroker, financial adviser and elite rower before entering politics. Backed by powerbrokers on the Liberal Party's right, Mr Bernardi was appointed a shadow parliamentary secretary, but resigned in 2012 after making controversial comments linking same-sex marriage to bestiality. He has maintained a high profile from the backbench, making regular forays into public debate. Mr Bernardi has his own website, blog, podcast, and is the self-published author of seven books - including two children's books. In an email to supporters in March 2016, Senator Bernardi said his mission was to build a movement "to fight against the tyranny of political correctness". "Unless the mainstream parties connect with the 'forgotten people' they will choose a different path," Mr Bernardi wrote. "It's a global phenomenon and would be foolish to think it won't emerge in Australia." A company controlled by Mr Bernardi's wife, Sinead, trademarked the name Australian Conservatives last year. Mr Bernardi has pointed to Brexit and the rise of far-right politics in Europe as evidence of the public losing faith in major parties. After spending time in New York observing Donald Trump's presidential campaign, Mr Bernardi wrote he had learned "what needs to be done". "My time in the United States has been invaluable not only in identifying some of the common problems evident in global politics but also formulating solutions," he wrote. Among his views that have attracted controversy, Mr Bernardi has been critical of abortion and questioned whether climate change was caused by human activity. "We will be united by the desire to create stronger families, to foster free enterprise, to limit the size and scope and reach of government while seeking to rebuild civil society," he said on Tuesday. "We will give hope to those who despair at the current state of Australian politics and who demand a better way for themselves, for their children and for the nation." Senior Liberal Party figures have been increasingly strong in their attacks on Mr Bernardi since reports he would defect emerged on Monday. "The Liberal Party's values are not limited to conservatism. We are Liberals because we are open to new ideas; tolerant of difference," tweeted Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne. Trade Minister Steve Ciobo said: "With one or two exceptions he's never laid a glove on the Labor Party. Every time he's been in the headlines it's been about criticism of his own parties." Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said voters would be "angry about the betrayal of the Liberal Party values". Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said: "A government which can't govern itself, can't govern the nation." Lord Harris claimed resources were being weakened, leaving vulnerable inmates unsupervised. It comes as the parents of a man who killed himself at a young offenders institution criticised authorities. The National Offender Management Service said reducing the number of prison suicides was a top priority. Labour peer Lord Harris was asked by the government in February to conduct a review on how to reduce self-inflicted deaths in custody, and is expected to present his findings next summer. He believes the unnecessary imprisonment of some individuals, including those with mental health problems, is preventing others from receiving the support they need. Lord Harris said: "The critical issue is why some prisoners are [in jail] in the first place. "Are there interventions that could have been done, could have saved the government money by stopping them ending up in the criminal justice system in the first place, or not necessarily ending up in prison? "Obviously there will always be a core of prisoners who do need to be in prison. But, if some of the others were not there, there would be more resources to make sure those individuals were supported and prison achieved its objectives in terms of rehabilitation." Lord Harris's comments come as the parents of Steven Davison, a 21-year-old man who killed himself while at Glen Parva young offenders institution in 2013, questioned why prison authorities did not do more to protect him. Davison, from Loughborough in Leicestershire, was jailed for possession of a knife, with which he had threatened to harm himself. He was told he would be moved to a mental health hospital when a bed became available, but killed himself in his cell in September 2013. An inquest ruled staff had failed to monitor him properly and were inadequately trained in helping those who were vulnerable. His mother Lynda explained: "It was like 'he's just another lad who's been sent to prison'." She added: "Instead of looking at why he's been sent to prison and what he needed, it was like [the authorities said] 'There you go Steven - there's your cell - get on with it'." Davison was graded as at "low risk" of self-harm and suicide at the prison, and was not moved to a safe cell - where he would not have been able to hang himself - the inquest heard. His mother said he was "let down" by prison authorities, even though he "cried for help". Davison's father, Jeffrey, said the people who assessed his son were prison officers and "weren't trained in mental health". He also criticised the lack of communication coming from Glen Parva. "We didn't even know he was self-harming himself in prison," he said. A prison officer at Glen Parva, who wished to remain anonymous, said self-harm incidents in the prison were a daily occurrence "from minor scratches to people taking chunks off their arms". "It is very, very difficult to monitor the lads because of staff shortages - we just don't have the manpower to look after those who are vulnerable or need special attention," he explained. "If someone is on constant watch, we have to sometimes call in staff from other wings, which means that wing then suffers. It's not our fault, because we can't be everywhere all the time," he added. Last month, chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick said there had been a "rapid deterioration" in prison safety in England and Wales. At a recent Justice Select Committee hearing, it was also acknowledged by officials they had underestimated the increase in prison population which hit the system last autumn. Prior to that, hundreds of staff had been made redundant and 16 prisons had been closed down. Prison suicides in England and Wales have risen by 52% since 2011-12, according to Ministry of Justice statistics. They reveal that 87 inmates took their own lives over the 12 months to September 2014, compared with 57 in the year to September 2012. In some cases, suicide had been the result of bullying and violence. Ministry of Justice figures show the number of recorded assaults in English and Welsh prisons has increased by more than a thousand over the last year, from 14,045 in 2012-13 to 15,441 in 2013-14. Deborah Coles, co-director of Inquest, a charity that helps families of people who die in custody, said more help was needed for vulnerable prisoners, especially those with mental health issues. She told Today: "We are sending far too many people to prisons that are ill equipped and ill resourced to deal with their needs." She said many suicides in prison are "preventable" and added: "All those people charged with the inspection and monitoring of prisons are warning ministers that there is a crisis and I think that ministers' indifference to this issue is really concerning. "If we don't dramatically reduce those going to prison we're going to see ongoing deaths of men, women and children." Steve Gillan, general secretary of the Prison Officers Association, said officers did not receive sufficient mental health training. "It's become critical now and you can't be in denial that there's inadequate training for the modern prison officer," he told BBC Radio 5 live. Michael Spurr, chief executive of the National Offender Management Service, said that reducing the number of self-inflicted deaths in prisons was a top priority. He said: "The rise in the latter part of 2013 and in the early months of this year was very concerning and we have been working hard to understand the reasons for this. "As is the case in society at large, there is no simple explanation with complex and individual reasons behind any suicide." And he added: "Every death is tragedy for the individual and their families and we will continue to work tirelessly to prevent suicides in our prisons." Nigel Newcomen, the prison and probation ombudsman, said many jails were making the same mistakes: "Some of the particular concerns we have are about weaknesses in risk assessment, weaknesses in... the suicide and self-harm prevention processes. "These are weaknesses we've been identifying for a number of years," he explained. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Davison remains angry at his son Steven's death, and with the way the Ministry of Justice runs its prisons. "As far as I'm concerned the prison didn't look after him," he said. "We didn't want them to love him. We wanted them to take care of him... and then he can come home to us."

On one bedpost hung the metal ligature which had cut into his neck when he was strangled. Another piece of wire had been tied around his ankles. One of the children who had been fishing in the river saw Isaac's body. Those who had not fled the village knew him well, and now they were waiting for his mother to arrive. People in Yei are afraid - afraid to speak out, and afraid they might be the next ones to be pulled from their homes in the middle of the night and to turn up dead in the river. The government faction of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) controls the town of Yei, 150km (93 miles) south-west of the capital, Juba, but not too much around it. A few miles out along any of the roads - to the Juba or to Uganda, they only travel in large convoys as military vehicles are prone to guerrilla attack. The rebels are known as the SPLA In Opposition, or "IO", but when civil war spread to this previously peaceful part of South Sudan everything became even more complicated. What began in December 2013 as a political crisis, almost immediately became ethnic, as the two largest tribes turned on each other - the Dinka and the Nuer - the ethnic groups of the president, and the former vice-president - now the rebel leader. There were massacres, the army split broadly along ethnic lines, and civil war has now driven millions from their homes, brought famine to parts of the country and created an impunity which has allowed rape, killing and war crimes to run wild. The SPLA is not a terribly disciplined army, and although both sides have been accused of atrocities here they are blamed for most of them. We joined their patrols - on foot and by car - as they showed us abandoned villages and some burned huts which they blamed on wild fires. Brigadier General Chol Deng Chol "There's no raping, there's no killing. We use capital punishment against soldiers who commit rapes" But they wouldn't take us to some of the places where we'd heard atrocities had been carried out - it was "too far," or the "roads were too bad." There are different layers to the government security forces in Yei - the regular army, the national security officers, the police, and another group known as the Matiang Anyoor. People are afraid of the Matiang Anyoor. "They are just another battalion," said Brigadier General Chol Deng Chol who is in overall charge - and has been since the violence started in Yei. But as a unit of mainly Dinka soldiers, said to have been established by the head of the army, they are the ones suspected of perpetrating some of the worst atrocities in Yei. "There's no raping, there's no killing. We use capital punishment against soldiers who commit rapes," said Gen Chol. "The only people we fight are the rebels. This is when the killing occurs. We don't kill our own civilians in our own country," he said. "They pretend civilians were killed, when the people killed were rebels." But the testimony we collected in our short time in Yei directly contradicted his assurances. Everyone was afraid to be identified, but they all had terrible stories. One man described how his sister was raped by three soldiers, an older woman how she was robbed and badly beaten in her own home. Another man told of 10 young men being pulled from their individual family homes, chained together and then shot. There was the description of a pregnant woman killed and then the baby cut from her womb and left to die. There are many accounts of cattle theft, of robbery and murder. "There are now two people who have been killed in my family: My brother and my father," said one of the men we spoke to. "It was government troops. For no reason they will kill you. They make the raping, looting (sic). "That's why people are afraid. That's why thousands of people flew out the town of Yei - because of their behaviour." Every day an average of 2,000 people are crossing into Uganda from the old-established states of Western, Central and Eastern Equatoria in the south of the country. This region has some of the best agricultural land in South Sudan, but people have not harvested and are not planting. With more than five million people - half the population - needing food aid in the next few months, this deepens the crisis. Around half a million people have fled in the eight months since a peace deal in Juba dramatically collapsed in fighting, and government forces chased the rebel leader and his men through this area and out of the country. This was a peaceful farming region where different tribes lived together, but now the army is often described as "the Dinka army" and a cycle of killing and revenge killing has escalated between the Dinka and other ethnic groups. That is why the UN warned of "the potential for genocide" in this part of South Sudan. "As yet we haven't seen that Rwanda type of situation - I doubt we will see that sort of thing," said David Shearer, the new special representative of the UN secretary general in the country. But he said: "A lot of it is breaking down into one ethnic group against another." Back in the village by the river Isaac's mother arrived screaming, and collapsed, pounding her hands on to the ground in grief. He is just the latest person to disappear in the night, the latest victim of what people in Yei believe is a deliberate attempt by their own army to drive them away from their homes. Any end to the fighting, the war crimes and the impunity seems as far away as ever. Stafford Hospital, which was renamed County Hospital, was at the centre of a £6m public inquiry into care failings. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham would not give an exact time scale, saying he didn't want to make promises that "can't be delivered". Overnight closures at the hospital began in 2011. Consultant-led maternity services were moved in January. Mr Burnham said he wants to see a return of full maternity and accident and emergency services to Stafford. On a visit to Stafford two weeks ago, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said if the Conservatives won the election, overnight services would be restored as soon as soon as it was "clinically safe" to do so. Labour has said that within 100 days of winning it will commit "additional resources needed to fulfil Ed Miliband's long-term pledge to fund the hospital Stafford needs". It's no wonder Andy Burnham wants to talk about the NHS - it's the top priority for voters and one of the few areas where polls show Labour are trusted more than the Tories. In Stafford, where A&E's been closed overnight and maternity services downgraded since the inquiry into care standards, it's even more important. Paediatric inpatient beds are moving elsewhere later this month. But although campaigners blame Labour for allowing the scandal to happen on their watch, the party believes it's got a real chance of overturning a Tory majority of more than 5,000 to win the Stafford seat back on Thursday. The Liberal Democrats said last month that Westminster should not tell local areas how to run hospitals. UKIP said both the Conservatives and Labour "have promised to wave a magic wand to restore Stafford Hospital to full service, when it was they who forced this situation in the first place." The National Health Action Party, which is fielding a candidate in Stafford, has described both the Tory and Labour pledges to restore services as an election bribe. Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which ran the hospital, went into administration in April 2013. The hospital was taken over by the newly-formed University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust. A full list of candidates for the Stafford constituency can be found here. The Careers Wales body used to vet work placements, but that role has been scrapped by the Welsh Government. Head teachers in Gwynedd and Anglesey said the decision had hit "the majority of authorities across Wales". Government officials said £2.4m is being spent over four years to support links between education and industry. Traditionally, students in Year 10 and 12 are sent on placements for up to two weeks during June and July to experience the real world of work. Careers Wales used to check that employers and their workplaces were suitable, safe environments for students, and also met legal requirements on insurance and risk assessments. But Skills and Science Minister Julie James wrote to all head teachers in 2015 to tell them the body would be forced to phase out the work, as it faced "a significantly reduced budget". Head teachers have been writing to parents of pupils at secondary schools in Gwynedd and Anglesey explaining why no work experience will be offered this year. "Unfortunately there were a very high number of locations that needed to be checked this year, and the necessary trained school staff were not available to carry out this work," said an official responding for both counties. "This decision has already been taken by the other north Wales authorities and the majority of authorities across Wales." In neighbouring Conwy, the picture is similar, where Year 10 pupils were being offered an alternative range of career activities. The authority said it would also "support sixth formers where work placements are required to fulfil university entrance requirements". Neil Foden, head of Ysgol Friars in Bangor, and also a national executive member for the NUT Wales union, said the decision had been "inevitable". "There was talk of appointing two officers to verify work experience placements for Gwynedd schools. That cost was just too much for us," he said. Parent Owain Evans has a Year 12 son at Ysgol David Hughes in Menai Bridge on Anglesey who was supposed to be going on a placement with a legal firm. Mr Evans also hosts students himself at his architects' office. "I think I'm really disappointed - for ourselves as employers and also for the children," he said. "It is a way of connecting with industry - for employers this is our future, the young people coming to us." The Welsh Government said strengthening links between schools and employers was "a priority". A spokesman said Careers Wales was working to establish a new Education Business Exchange which will "support a national network of business education partnerships". He added: "There are many ways schools can provide pupils with activity to help them in their understanding of, and improve competence in, the world of work, including employer talks, visits to industry and employer coaching and mentoring." 19 January 2016 Last updated at 17:01 GMT Last year, the Oscars were called out for having no black nominees. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and director Spike Lee say they won't attend this year's awards - because of the lack of diversity. The president of the Academy, who runs the Oscars, issued a statement saying she was "heartbroken" about the comments and said that they are already working on including a wider range of people in the organisation. The 20-year-old former Kilmarnock forward has signed a one-year deal at Tynecastle after leaving relegated Dundee United. "I'm pleased to get him," Neilson told BBC Scotland. "I think he has good potential. He still has a long way to go but he is the type of player we want to get in." United paid Killie a transfer fee of around £150,000 for Muirhead, handing him a three-and-a-half year deal in January 2015, but he only scored twice in 27 appearances. He spent time on loan at Partick Thistle last season, scoring twice in eight games, with both goals coming against Kilmarnock in a 5-2 victory. Muirhead was released by United in late April and Neilson hopes to coax the best form out of the Scotland Under-19 international after a frustrating spell at Tannadice. "We all knew of his time at Kilmarnock," he said. "We had looked at him, then obviously Dundee United came in and paid a big fee for him and he went there. "The way things have worked out with United getting relegated there was an opportunity to get back in and we have managed to do something. "He did really well at Kilmarnock. We think coming here he still has a lot of hard work to do. We want to bring in Scottish players as well we want to develop." Neilson confirmed that two further signings, Conor Sammon and Faycal Rherras, will join up with the squad for pre-season training this week. "Two good players and two good additions to the squad," Neilson said. "Connor gives us a bit experience up front. He played really well when he was at Kilmarnock and got a big move to England. He has played at the highest level down there so I'm really pleased top get him. "Rherras is a good addition at left back. He is young, he needs to develop. He has played at the top level in Belgium. He has recently been playing for the Moroccan under-23s. He is a good player and another we think we can develop." Neilson also hopes to bring in a goalkeeper before Monday's deadline for players to be registered for the first Europa League qualifier on 30 June. "There has been a lot of goalkeepers put to us and we are still going through it and trying to get the right one," he said. "Jack Hamilton did really well for us at the end of last season so we've got him. "We would like to get a couple more additions in but it's proving more difficult than we had hoped. We will see how it goes in the next couple of days." The calculation is based on tired employees being less productive or absent from work altogether. Research firm Rand Europe, which used data from 62,000 people, said the loss equated to 1.86% of economic growth. The main impact was on health, with those sleeping less than six hours a night 13% more likely to die earlier than those getting seven to nine hours. The study evaluated the economic cost of insufficient sleep in the UK, US, Canada, Germany and Japan. Is more sleep better for your career? Don't sleep on the mattress industry The company that pays its staff to sleep And while the impact of tired workers in the UK may sound bad, it still ranked better than both the US and Japan which lost the most working days due to lack of sleep. The report called on employers to recognise and promote the importance of sleep, urging them to build nap rooms. It said they should also discourage staff from "extended use" of electronic devices after working hours. Individuals were advised to wake up at the same time each day and exercise during the day to improve their sleep. "The effects from a lack of sleep are massive. Sleep deprivation not only influences an individual's health and wellbeing but has a significant impact on a nation's economy," said Marco Hafner, a research leader at Rand Europe and the report's main author. Mr Hafner said small changes could make a big difference, saying if those in the UK currently sleeping under six hours a night increased this to between six and seven hours it would add £24bn to the UK's economy. In the new role, Mr Manzoni, who will start work this month, will oversee the administrative and commercial performance of government departments. The position confers the right to attend meetings of the cabinet. Mr Manzoni, who was chosen after an external competition, is currently head of the Major Projects Authority within the Cabinet Office. As CEO of the civil service he will work alongside Sir Jeremy Heywood, the cabinet secretary and head of the civil service, whose portfolio focuses on the implementation of policy decisions made by the government. The roles of cabinet secretary and civil service head were split in 2012 but have been consolidated following the retirement of Sir Bob Kerslake. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude, who recently claimed that the UK "has the best civil servants in the world but not yet the best civil service", welcomed Mr Manzoni's appointment Despite recent reforms, he said there was still "much more to do". "Hardworking people expect us to spend their money carefully and this appointment will help us to do just that." Prime Minister David Cameron added: "John's experience of business and the private sector puts him in the perfect position to accelerate the pace of these reforms in the years ahead." Mr Manzoni said his priority was "building on the existing momentum to strengthen the execution muscle of Whitehall and embed a sustainable productivity agenda across government". As CEO of the civil service, Mr Manzoni will take charge of: Mr Manzoni joined the civil service in February, as head of a cross-departmental unit which seeks to get better value for money from major government projects. Previously, he was president of Canadian oil and gas company Talisman Energy and an executive at BP for 24 years. The appointment was announced alongside a new report on the progress of civil service reform. The report says that by April 2015, most senior civil service posts below the level of permanent secretary will be open to external candidates. By mid-2016, senior civil servants who wish to apply for permanent secretary posts will be expected to have completed a leadership course at a tertiary-level business school. The regions of Cantabria, Asturias and the Basque Country are worst affected, with high winds spreading the flames. Spain's forestry association said the unusually high temperatures did not explain the origin of the fires. Association head Raul de la Calle suggested "cattle farming interests" could be responsible. He said some people believed the fires would make the pasture more "appetising" to the animals, El Mundo reported. More than 80 fires are currently burning in Cantabria, where 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) of land of "very high ecological value" have been destroyed, regional president Miguel Angel Revilla said. However none of those fires are currently threatening inhabited areas, he added. About 100 soldiers have been sent to the region. In Asturias there are 38 fires, of which 31 have been contained. Spain's interior ministry has warned of continuing high winds in the north. It would make for something of a irony then if Hereford FC, the phoenix club grown from the ashes of Hereford United's demise in December 2014, should go on to reach Wembley at the first time of asking. In their first season in existence, the new Bulls are through to the semi-finals of the FA Vase - by fortunate coincidence, in the first season since Wembley was chosen to host the final as part of a two-match Final Day, shared with the FA Trophy, on Sunday 22 May. Over two legs, the first at Edgar Street on Saturday, they take on another 'phoenix club' Salisbury - managed by BBC pundit, award-winning author and much-travelled former striker Steve Claridge. Claridge himself has starred at Wembley, his stunning last-minute curler for Leicester City beating Crystal Palace to take the Foxes back to the Premier League in 1996. But he admits that playing the tie over two legs reduces the chances of it being settled by such drama. "The best team will probably win over two legs," said Claridge. "That doesn't always happen when it's one leg. One game can be decided on a bit of luck, someone hitting the post or bar and it not going in. "Over two legs, it's a bit more tactical and gives both teams the correct time to apply themselves and show their true colours." It was also 20 years since the old Hereford came closest to Wembley, losing to Darlington in the Third Division play-off semi-finals. If the reborn Bulls do make it to Wembley following the second leg (Saturday, 19 March at 15:00 GMT), they would more than make up for it by becoming the first club to win the FA Vase in their first season of existence. The two games are likely to break the FA Vase's semi-final attendance records. Both legs are all-ticket, starting with Saturday's sell-out at the 4,913-capacity Edgar Street (12 March, 15:00 GMT), followed by the second leg at Salisbury's Raymond McEnhill Stadium, where they had 1,800 fans for the quarter-final win over Ashford. In the other two-leg semi-final, Essex Senior League side Bowers & Pitsea play Northumberland side Morpeth, starting with Saturday's first leg at the Len Salmon Stadium. But Claridge admits that, with all respect to their other two possible final opponents, Hereford v Salisbury would have made for a better supported Wembley occasion than a mere semi-final. "We have two games here where we could probably have sold the tickets two or three times over," he said. "But, if we both were to have got to Wembley, we might have got 20,000 or possibly 30,000." Both sides go into Saturday's opener top of their respective leagues. Salisbury are eight points clear, having won 21 of their 25 games under manager/director Claridge. Hereford, by way of contrast, have stumbled slightly of late, losing 2-0 at home to Highgate United on 23 February - their first league defeat in almost exactly six months. BBC Hereford & Worcester's Terry Goodwin "Just 18 months ago, the old Hereford United were languishing in the Southern League with crowds of around 500, while most fans stayed away in protest at the club's ownership. The former FA Cup giant-killers had been taken over, relegated two divisions and were weeks from bankruptcy. "The re-formed Hereford FC started this season in English football's ninth tier - five divisions below the Football League. But they have had a phenomenal run, topping the table and attracting 4,000-plus crowds to Edgar Street. "Fans dream of a double - promotion from the Midland League, and a Wembley visit in the FA Vase final. The whole city is backing the Bulls, who have a trip to the national stadium in their sights." BBC Wiltshire's Will Walder "The last six years have been a mixture of on-field success and off-field pitch disaster for football fans in Salisbury. Thrown out of the Conference in 2010 after missing a deadline to pay creditors, Salisbury won promotion back into the Conference Premier in 2013, only to be expelled again a year later. "In a period known as the WhatsApp era at BBC Wiltshire, the club was taken over by supporter Mark Winter and mysterious Moroccan businessman Medi Otail Touzar, a man who would only communicate with us using the messaging app. "Mark Winter took Mr Touzar to court to try to overturn the ownership. This failed and ensuing court cases against Mr Touzar meant the club ultimately went bust and out of business. But, as the newly-formed Salisbury FC, Wembley fever is building in Wiltshire's only city." Hereford FC have been forced to upgrade the close-circuit television system at Edgar Street "at significant cost to the club" following a smoke bomb thrown during the FA Vase sixth-round win over Camberley. The Football Association requested a comprehensive response to the incident, which involved two full days of internal evidence gathering at the club before the submission of a 4,000-word report. And they remain under surveillance by the FA, who are now sending an advisor on crowd control to the Salisbury game. The club warned in a statement: "We cannot overstate how seriously the FA treat incidents like the one that occurred at the Camberley game. They have a wide range of punishments available to them if further incidents occur. "Hereford FC will not hesitate to take action against any individual who acts in a way that not only costs the club thousands of pounds, but also tarnishes the good reputation we all want to build." Two seventh-tier clubs, Northern Premier League side Nantwich Town and Isthmian League high-fliers Bognor Regis Town, both have two-leg ties against National League sides on successive Saturdays (12 and 19 March). Former FA Vase winners Nantwich, bidding to become the first team to win both national non-league knockout competitions, start at home against struggling Halifax. Bognor's first leg is also at home against 2013 Trophy runners-up Grimsby Town, currently third in the National League. Nantwich, Bognor and Grimsby all go into the two-leg semis having all won four of their last five matches. Grimsby's most recent victory was 4-2 at Halifax last weekend which, according to the form book, may yet to prove a dress rehearsal for Finals Day on Sunday 22 May - when, for the first time, the Vase and the Trophy are on the same day.

The firm's chief financial officer Anthony Noto accidentally made public a tweet that was meant to be a private direct message to a colleague. The message expressed his desire to acquire another company. Mr Noto, who joined the company in July this year, deleted the tweet soon after. It read: "I think we should buy them. He is on your schedule for Dec 15 or 16 -- we will need to sell him. i have a plan." Twitter often acquires smaller firms who have created good features based around the micro-blogging service. Speculation over which firm Mr Noto was referring to has begun. Technology news site Recode suggested Shots - a selfie app backed by Justin Bieber - as well as Secret, a somewhat controversial app for anonymously sharing messages with a wide audience. Others noted that Mr Noto had recently followed several employees at Mic, a news website aimed at young people. Mr Noto is by no means the first to suffer a "DM fail". Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner accidentally posted a picture of himself in his underwear. After first claiming he had been "hacked", Mr Weiner later admitted he had intended to send the image as a direct message. Mr Sanders is expected to perform well in West Virginia, despite Mrs Clinton's huge lead in overall delegates. "We're going to fight for the last vote," Mr Sanders said on Monday. Minutes after the West Virginia polls closed, Donald Trump was projected the winner in the Republican race. And he later was declared the winner in Nebraska too, which was a Republican-only contest. He is the party's presumptive nominee after his last remaining rivals left the race last week, although their names remained on the West Virginia ballot. According to exit polls, the most important issue for voters in that state was the economy and jobs. Mr Trump is now trying to unite the Republican Party after a contentious primary season. Many top Republican leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, have declined to support Mr Trump's candidacy, saying the New York businessman does not represent conservative values. Mr Trump will meet Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Mr Ryan on Thursday in hopes of resolving their differences. Some Republicans are concerned that Mr Trump will negatively affect other races, hurting the party's chances of retaining control of Congress. Mr Trump is deeply unpopular among key voting blocs including women, Latinos and African Americans. On the Democratic side, Mrs Clinton is on the defensive in West Virginia because of comments she made during a town hall meeting in March. Addressing environmental issues, she said she wanted to put coal companies out of business. Battered by dwindling demand and new environmental rules, coal companies are among the top employers in West Virginia. Mrs Clinton later said she had misspoken and that she had wanted to bring new industries to the state. Mr Sanders's message of economic fairness has also resonated in West Virginia, one of the poorest states in the country. While a win in West Virginia will not derail Mrs Clinton's path to the Democratic nomination, Mr Sanders' continued success will give him leverage to influence the party's platform. Full US election coverage from the BBC The 25-year-old Dutch international forward has joined the Premier League club for an undisclosed fee. I had been at Ajax a long time and wanted a new challenge in a new environment and a new country "Siem will give us intelligence in the final third and create goalscoring situations," said manager Alan Pardew. "It is a big signing for this club." His brother, Luuk, 23, spent six months on loan at St James' Park from Borussia Monchengladbach last season. De Jong, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a striker, led Dutch champions Ajax to four consecutive Eredivisie titles. He progressed through their youth system and made his debut in September 2007, before being made captain in the summer of 2012. De Jong, who has also played in the Champions League and Europa League, made almost 250 appearances for the Amsterdam club and scored 78 goals. "It is a big club which my brother told me all about, so I already feel good here," said De Jong. "I had been at Ajax a long time and wanted a new challenge in a new environment and a new country. "Coming to Newcastle is a great opportunity and the chance to play for a club like this in the Premier League was one I could not turn down." Switzerland-born De Jong made his international debut for the Netherlands in August 2010 and has won six senior caps, scoring two goals, but was not selected for the World Cup. Pardew added: "I think our fans are going to enjoy the way he plays and I cannot wait to start working with him." Newcastle have already signed Tenerife striker Ayoze Perez as Pardew looks to fill the attacking void left by Shola Ameobi, Loic Remy and Luuk de Jong. Ameobi, 32, has been released after 14 years at his hometown club, while De Jong and QPR striker Remy returned to their parent clubs following loan spells. "I think I was wrong, I should not have gone ahead with my speech and called off the rally. I apologise if I hurt anyone," he told news agency ANI. Gajendra Singh hanged himself from a tree on Wednesday at the gathering attended by a few thousand people. Politicians have been trading blame over his death. On Thursday, activists from the opposition Congress party and the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) protested outside Mr Kejriwal's house. They accused Mr Kejriwal of insensitivity in having continued his rally after the farmer hanged himself, as well as responsibility for the death itself. Mr Kejriwal has blamed government policies which he says led to the farmer's death. The police have also been accused of failing to prevent the death, while some have questioned whether the farmer had intended to kill himself. The police have also been accused of failing to prevent the death, while some have questioned whether the farmer had intended to kill himself. In the interview on Friday morning, the chief minister for the first time admitted that it was a bad idea to go ahead with the rally, but said he could not see the tree from which the farmer hanged himself because it was at a distance from the stage. "If we had any inkling that he would do something like that, someone would have acted," he said, adding that "the incident took place in front of me. I am not able to digest it, I could not sleep that night". Mr Singh had come from Rajasthan to attend the farmers' rally convened by Mr Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's controversial land acquisition bill. Opponents of the bill say it will hurt the interests of farmers but the government says it will boost the economy. The bill was passed in the lower house of parliament last month but has not yet been approved by the upper house, where Mr Modi's BJP is in the minority. More than 300,000 Indian farmers have killed themselves since 1995 because of mounting debts and poor harvests. But correspondents say Gajendra Singh's death is the most high-profile incident of its kind, taking place as it did before thousands of people at a rally in the capital. Faith Spear refused to step down as chairman of Hollesley Bay prison's Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) after voicing prison reform concerns. Her refusal, she says, led to her feeling bullied by other board members - a matter she raised with the East Anglian Daily Times. The government said she would be reinstated if no wrongdoing is found. None of those accused of bullying Mrs Spear have been suspended, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed. Live: For more on this and other Suffolk stories Mrs Spear, of Ipswich, said the situation "just escalated" after she wrote of her concerns about prison reform under the pseudonym Daisy Mallet in this year's The Prisons Handbook. In it she described herself as a "whistleblower without a whistle". She says she wrote it as a private individual with a passion and interest in prison reform and not as the chairman of the Hollelsley Bay IMB. The suspension letter from prisons minister Andrew Selous said she was accused of "failing to treat colleagues with respect" and for "acting in a manner which could bring discredit or cause embarrassment to the IMB". "It all blew up because I refused to stand down," said Mrs Spear. "I voiced concerns about the system yet I have been attacked personally. "It has been absolutely terrible. But I have no regrets about speaking out. The IMB tried to silence me." She later spoke of her issues with the board to the EADT which resulted in an article cited by Selous in her suspension notice. An MoJ spokesman said: "There is an ongoing investigation into Hollesley Bay Independent Monitoring Board. "No conclusions have been made and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage. "As with all public appointments, a member of staff can be suspended during an investigation. If no wrongdoing is found they will be reinstated." Toys tied in to the forthcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the latest instalment of the science-fiction juggernaut, are being unwrapped and demonstrated on YouTube. Amateurs have posted unboxing videos onto Google's service almost since its inception. However, Disney's action highlights how the activity is being adopted by the companies that make and sell the goods. Clips of toys being unpackaged and played with have proven to be particularly popular. One of YouTube's most popular channels is FunToyzCollector, a four-year-old account that shows products being held up by an elegantly manicured pair of hands from a variety of angles. It has clocked up more than 7.7 billion views since launching, and this week alone attracted more than 75 million clicks. Its most popular video highlights a Play-Doh tie-in with Disney's Frozen movie, which has gained more than 337 million views alone since July 2014. The Star Wars unboxing event kicked off in Sydney, followed by YouTube broadcasts from around the globe, prior to the release of the toys in shops on Friday. Unboxing videos are undeniably popular - out of the top 25 most viewed YouTube channels five are dedicated to the activity. Along with DisneyCollectorBR, there's It'sBabyBigMouth, which focuses on unwrapping Kinder eggs and building the toys, BluCollection, HobbyKidsTV and another toy-fixated channel - DisneyCarToys. Social media expert Tom Cheesewright says the attraction is partly to do with the vicarious thrill of seeing someone open a brand new product. "There's the first-person hands in front of you - it seems you're there. You're seeing it unwrapped first," he says. For many children it has become the modern equivalent of leafing through a toy catalogue, and the clips can hold more interest than cartoons or other programming. For marketers the idea of having their target audience watching and then rewatching lengthy clips rather than short commercials has obvious appeal. According to Google Consumer Surveys data, 62% of people who watch the videos are those researching a particular product. Its Trends analytics page suggests that people in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are those most likely to search for the term "unboxing". One of the earliest examples of an unboxing video upload is from 2006 when an American gamer unpacked a PlayStation 3 delivered from Japan. It was of interest to others because the console had yet to go on sale in the US. Tech products - especially smartphones - remain a popular topic. But today, clothing, lipstick, food, and even bras also get the treatment. Lingerie firm Adore Me is one company that has taken notice. It recently broadcast a TV advert inspired by the activity which it said was intended to broaden its appeal with "millennials" - people born in the 1980s or later. According to Google, 34% of the views for unboxing videos related to food, electronics, toys and beauty and fashion happen from October to December - in the run-up to Christmas. It would take more than seven years to watch all the videos on YouTube with "unboxing" in the title that were uploaded in 2014, Google says. Unboxing videos can be real moneyspinners. The YouTube clips are often preceded with adverts for other products or have banner ads superimposed, meaning that they can generate millions of dollars revenue for their creators. Last year, Disney paid almost $1bn (£660m) for the YouTube channel network Maker Studios. Later in the year, Maker Studios added five toy review channels to its roster. "Toy-review channels have... become the authority on the hottest toys on the market, as well as one of the fastest-growing genres of family programming online," it said at the time. But their evolution wasn't planned or predictable. "They naturally snowballed," Mr Cheesewright says - and that snowball shows no signs of slowing down. The Insolvency Service said 18,866 individuals became insolvent in England and Wales between April and June. That is a fall of 29.3% on the same period a year ago, and the lowest total since the summer of 2005. The number of companies going bust has also fallen to its lowest in more than seven years. Altogether 3,908 firms became insolvent over the last three months, the smallest number since the end of 2007. Experts said the news reflected increasing strength in the economy, and the return of real-terms increases in wages. "It has taken a long time, but with wages outstripping inflation again, people are finding it easier to repay their debts without resorting to insolvency procedures," said Phillip Sykes, president of R3, the insolvency trade body. At the same time, there has been a jump in the number of people taking out mortgages to buy a flat or house. In the month of June, 66,582 homeowners took out a new mortgage, according to figures from the Bank of England. That was up from 64,826 in May, and just 1,469 short of the recent peak in April. But the same figures show a significant fall in lending to businesses. Total borrowing by UK non-financial companies fell by £5.5bn in June, the biggest drop for four years. "On the face of it, this sharp reduction in bank lending to businesses raises serious question marks about activity and investment," said Howard Archer, the chief UK and European economist with IHS Global Insight. The fall in personal insolvencies was welcomed by the Money Advice Trust (MAT), which runs National Debtline. However it warned about increasing debt levels. "Many households will be able to accommodate this extra borrowing as the economic recovery continues - but we are concerned that many will turn to credit to plug gaps in their budgets," said Jane Tully, head of insight and engagement at the MAT. She said the situation could be made worse for some people by the changes to tax credits in the years ahead. Household debt is forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility to reach 169% of household income by 2020. Cardiff University researchers found online hate in the aftermath of the murder of Lee Rigby peaked in the first 24 hours then declined sharply. They found tweets from police and media were about five times more likely to be retweeted compared with tweets from other users following the attack. The fusilier was killed on 22 May 2013. The research is being published in the British Journal of Criminology on the second anniversary of his murder near Woolwich Barracks in London. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale drove into the 25-year-old before hacking him to death. During the study, social and computer scientists at the university focused on the production and spread of racial and religious cyberhate and the Twitter battle between police and far-right political groups in the first 36 hours following the attack. Their findings suggest the dominance of traditional media and police information flows in social media are likely effective channels for the countering of rumour, speculation and hate. Dr Matthew Williams said: "We concluded that cyber-hate has a 'half-life' following crime events of national interest. "The sharp de-escalation of hate can be explained by post-event media and police Twitter messages that have a defusing effect and counter-speech from everyday Twitter users that challenge abusers." Dr Pete Burnap said: "The ability to observe a large portion of the population in near real-time via social media networks provides those responsible for ensuring the safety of the public a new window onto mass social reaction." The College of Policing is currently putting 6,000 officers through their Mainstreaming Cybercrime training course, which covers cyber-hate and harassment online. The company said turnover rose by more than 26% to almost £22.4m in the year to the end of March 2016. Pre-tax profits climbed by more than £110,000 to £793,000. Aberuthven-based Hadden said its results had been boosted by a general improvement in construction industry activity. In its accounts published at Companies House, the company said: "The speculative housing sector's recovery has allowed the company to progress completion of dwellings at their existing land bank, and purchase a further site for mixed housing development." It added: "The results for the year and the financial position at the year end were considered satisfactory by the directors who expect to maintain the company's position in the foreseeable future." Hadden has worked on a number of high-profile projects in recent years, including the internal refurbishment of Hutcheson's Hall in Glasgow's Merchant City and restoration of the art deco Birks Cinema in the centre of Aberfeldy. Current projects include a new £3m community hub in East Calder, West Lothian, and a luxury apartment development at the former Eastern Primary School in Broughty Ferry. The rules, introduced last year, allow those aged 55 and over full access to their pension pots with the first 25% tax free. Undercover footage shows one unregulated consultant giving advice and suggesting high risk investments. The government has said they are committed to protecting pension savers. Panorama sent an undercover reporter to a call centre in Derby - run by a company called Lifestyle Connections - which offers free pension reviews on behalf of its sister company First Review Pension Services. The undercover footage shows call centre staff offering assessments to people which they claim will show how the new pension freedoms affect them and what will happen at the consultation. The Pension Advisory Service has warned: "You should be very wary of anybody who approaches you regarding a free pension review because at the end of the day they're there to make money and you need to be really clear before you accept any offer from them." The Lifestyle Connections call centre tries to sign people up to face to face consultations, which are then carried out by First Review Pension Services. In the undercover footage, an employee of Lifestyle Connections, is seen telling Panorama's undercover reporter to lie to the people she is being trained to call. The employee then reveals the aim of the company is to get "everyone to invest in Cape Verde". The employee adds that the customers shouldn't be told this. Cape Verde is an emerging tourist destination off the north west coast of Africa. Both Lifestyle Connections and First Review Pension Services are owned by a company called The Resort Group - a property developer with a string of resorts there. "There is clearly no doubt that it's all about selling an investment in Cape Verde," says pensions expert Alan Higham. "It's not about a proper pension review... it's not about working out what's generally best for you. It's about trying to find the best line to sell you this investment in Cape Verde." Another employee at the call centre told the undercover reporter that The Resort Group owner Rob Jarrett, a former financial advisor from Leeds saw an opportunity during the 2008 financial crisis. She says that "when the slump came, the recession, he wanted to look for a way of getting more investment". On 25 June, Panorama asked the Resort Group for a statement. It replied: "We are grateful to Panorama" and "are investigating as a matter of urgency. All investments with the Resort Group PLC are safe and all our investors have received all payments due." A pension transfer into the Resort Group is not possible without advice from an IFA. The Resort Group also told us it decided that in February, that First Review and Lifestyle Connections would stop taking on new business after 30 June. First Review Pension Services and Lifestyle Connections said that, if true, they cannot condone this behaviour which is now the subject of an internal review. Panorama requested interviews with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Treasury, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Pensions Regulator about the results of its investigation but none were available to be interviewed. The DWP released a statement saying they are committed to protecting all pension savers including those seeking to access their pension freedoms. Nearly a quarter of a million people have taken advantage of the new freedom to take control of their pensions. The Pensions Advisory Service advise that "the biggest protection is raising customer awareness....and getting people to do due diligence into the company they're doing business with."

The play is made up of four monologues - with the three characters only coming together at the end to take their bow, on the stark set designed by Es Devlin. Shambolic faith healer Frank, played by Stephen Dillane, has been touring the villages of Wales, Ireland and Scotland for years with his wife Grace (McKee) and his manager Teddy (Ron Cook, returning to a role he last played 26 years ago), with limited success and funds. Most of the time no actual healing takes place - but what actually has entailed depends on whose version of events you believe, with each character weaving a slightly different tale from the threads of their memory. One critic even declared it as the "ideal post-Brexit play", because of its "themes of miracle cures, bitter exile and fallible memory". "The brilliant thing about seeing any piece of work is how you bring your own interpretation of it," said McKee. "One of the things which initially hooked me is how Brian explores how we use memory - how we use it to validate ourselves in the present, and to protect ourselves. That theme is something that really interested me." Donmar Warehouse executive producer Kate Pakenham said Friel had approached director Lyndsey Turner back in 2014 to direct Faith Healer. It makes it the third play by the writer - who died in October - she has directed at the Donmar. "It was a gift to Lyndsey and to the Donmar and so it was very special," Pakenham said. "It's been very special to take on the responsibility of that gift and try to give a new production for a new generation." She said it was "not a memorial performance", but a celebratory one, adding "there will be many other performances of Brian Friel's great works". McKee added: "It's a celebration, pure and simple." Cook said of reprising the role of Cockney Teddy, who provides some welcome moments of comedy in what is, at times, a heart-breaking play: "In my whole career, it's the only part which I've ever pursued and wanted to do again. And I wanted to do that because this is a great, great play." The Guardian's Michael Billington gave it five stars, saying it "contradicts our theatre's trend towards ever greater visual sophistication by asserting the power of the word". He said McKee was "unforgettable" as Grace, adding: "More than ever, the play struck me as a masterpiece: One in which Friel wrestles with the artist's dependence on the unpredictability of inspiration." Mark Shenton, in The Stage, also awarded Faith Healer five stars. "Action is all described, not shown; but the poetic grace and feeling of Friel's script is achingly inhabited in the spellbinding intensity of the narrators," he said. "It becomes like three of the best one-person plays I've ever seen, performed back-to-back." The Daily Mail's Quentin Letts, complained the pace was "treacly", Dillane's delivery was "gluey" and McKee was "a bore" as Grace. He praised Cook however, and awarded it three stars. The Arts Desk said it was "brilliantly acted" and "utterly compelling". Aleks Sierz said: "This revival is verbally hypnotic, emotionally intense and compellingly ambiguous. Plays rarely tell us so directly what it feels like to be human - this one does. And then some."

A revival of Brian Friel's Faith Healer at the Donmar Warehouse is a "celebration" of the playwright's life, actress Gina McKee said as the play opened to five star reviews.

Salford led 24-8 with seven minutes left, but three unanswered tries - from James Roby, Regan Grace and Jonny Lomax - gave the home side the momentum. Smith then slotted over from 40 yards to complete the win. Defeat for Salford means they slip to third and are eight points behind leaders Castleford, who beat Leeds. Hull FC climb to second, courtesy of their win over Wakefield, while St Helens stay sixth. Smith had put Saints ahead with the first try of the match before Niall Evalds capitalised on a defensive error to level the scores on the brink of half-time. Greg Johnson and Robert Lui crossed for Salford shortly after the break before Evalds added another to put the visitors in a commanding position. But the Red Devils then tired in the late stages to lose a third successive league game and be denied their first win at St Helens for 37 years. St Helens coach Justin Holbrook: "It was fantastic to see that sort of finish. I'm just as excited as the players. I know it's easy to say because we won, but I was always confident that we had a chance. "We were unlucky not to have led at half-time and in the second it was all Salford. They completed every set and didn't give us a chance. "It was very gutsy from us. It is great for the players to have that belief to finish like that." Salford coach Ian Watson: "It was a tough lesson and a tough way to learn a lesson. We didn't play particularly well in the first half but we rectified that in the second. "We started to play with resilience in defence, but in the last 10 minutes it was like we'd already won the game. If you do that against any good team you're going to get bit. "We need to take that as a lesson and learn it pretty quickly because the further you get down the track, there are going to be big games where we need that arm-wrestle mentality." St Helens: Lomax, Swift, Makinson, Percival, Grace, Fages, Smith, Walmsley, Roby, Amor, Taia, Wilkin, Knowles. Replacements: McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Douglas, Thompson, Lee. Salford: Evalds, Bibby, Welham, Sa'u, Johnson, Lui, T. Carney, Tasi, Tomkins, Kopczak, Murdoch-Masila, Lannon, Flanagan. Replacements: Hauraki, Jones, Hasson, Brinning. Referee: Scott Mikalauskas (RFL) Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said Better Together agents had been "taking tallies" of postal votes at sample openings held in the weeks before the count. Election rules state the results of these openings must be kept secret. Police Scotland said it was assessing whether a crime had been committed. It is understood a number of complaints were made to the Electoral Commission. The commission does not have the power to investigate criminal allegations, and has made police aware of the concerns. The allegations surround comments made to BBC Scotland by Ms Davidson about 45 minutes after polls closed in last Thursday's Scottish independence referendum. Ms Davidson told the Scotland Decides programme: "We have had people at every sample opening around the country over the last few weeks... and we have been incredibly encouraged by the results from that. "Going into today, going by the postal votes that were cast, our side would have had a lead and I think that we have a confidence, I hope a quiet confidence, that the quiet majority of Scots have spoken today." She said postal votes were not counted until after the polls closed, but added: "Different local authorities have had openings around the country. It is illegal to discuss that while any ballot is ongoing, so until ten o'clock tonight no one could talk about it. "But there is people in the room that have been sampling those ballot boxes as they have been opened and they have been taking tallies and the reports have been very positive for us." The Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013 states that those attending the sample openings must not "attempt to ascertain at the proceedings in connection with the receipt of the ballot papers the outcome for which any vote is given in any particular ballot paper or communicate any information with respect thereto obtained at those proceedings". Anyone convicted of breaching the law can be jailed for up to a year, and/or receive a fine of up to £5,000. The sample postal vote openings, which were attended by agents from both campaigns ahead of polling day, were held to confirm personal identifiers - the date of birth and signature - on the postal ballots matched those held on official records. The ballot papers are supposed to be kept face down when postal voting packs are opened so postal ballot agents and observers are unable to see how people have voted. Elections Scotland guidance acknowledges that there may be times when the front of the document becomes visible - but emphasises that "it is an offence for anyone attending the opening of postal votes to attempt to ascertain how any vote has been cast or to communicate any such information obtained". A spokeswoman for the Electoral Commission said: "Any complaints we have received in relation to this matter have been brought to the attention of the Police Service of Scotland." Police Scotland said the force would assess any complaints to establish whether they warranted further investigation. The Scottish Conservatives said the party would cooperate if asked to do so. On Monday, Mary Pitcaithly, the chief counting officer in the referendum, dismissed allegations of vote rigging after a video of alleged wrongdoing at a number of counts across the country was posted online. More than 70,000 people have signed an online petition demanding "a revote counted by impartial international parties". In a statement, a spokesman for Ms Pitcaithly said all counts "were properly conducted and scrutinised". He added: "Each of the episodes in the video can be easily explained. However they are presented as a 'conspiracy' theory. "It is most frustrating and does not recognise the immense work that so many people put into the planning and delivery of the count." Ten votes in Glasgow are already being investigated over a separate claim of multiple voting. She told the German Parliament a "qualified majority" of European leaders would be acceptable. David Cameron says he will press the issue to a vote if Mr Juncker is nominated at an EU summit on Friday. But Mrs Merkel said there would be "no drama" if he was chosen by a majority. Previously, the top job in Brussels bureaucracy has usually only been given with the unanimous agreement of at least the bigger countries, including Britain. 'Not an arch villain' The British prime minister has fought a lone campaign to block Mr Juncker becoming the next EC president, saying his appointment would "ignore the clear pro-change and pro-reform message" delivered by European voters in last month's election. If Mr Juncker's name is tabled at Friday's EU summit in Brussels, Mr Cameron has said he would demand an "unprecedented" vote to put on the public record EU leaders' views on the ex-Luxembourg prime minister. Speaking in Berlin on Tuesday, Mr Juncker said he expected to be the next EC president by the end of the week "if common sense prevails". And in a dig at Mr Cameron, he joked that common sense was "very unequally distributed - so one will have to wait". Former Conservative chancellor, the pro-European Ken Clarke, said he did not know what Mr Juncker was supposed to have done wrong, insisting he was "not an arch villain". "The idea that he is an arch-federalist, a sort of public enemy number one, which the media have made him in the last few days, is slightly exaggerated," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One. And Business Secretary Vince Cable said Mr Cameron's handling of the row had damaged Britain's influence in Brussels. But Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he was "proud" to have a prime minister "who fights for Britain". The smartphone-maker posted a photo on its Google+ page, with a caption saying its device "makes taking photos in low-light conditions like this a pleasure". But the image metadata showed that the photo was taken with Canon camera equipment costing upwards of £2,000. Huawei apologised and said it did not intend to mislead. The original social media post said: "We managed to catch a beautiful sunrise with Deliciously Ella. The [new device] makes taking photos in low light conditions like this a pleasure." However, image metadata is automatically displayed next to photographs on Google+. The discrepancy was spotted by a writer for smartphone news site Android Police. In a statement, Huawei said the photo had been taken during the recording of a new advertisement. "We recognise though that we should have been clearer with the captions for this image. It was never our intention to mislead. We apologise for this and we have removed the image," it said. Rival phone-maker Nokia apologised for a similar mistake in 2012, after an advertisement it claimed was recorded on one of its handsets was revealed to have been shot on professional equipment. Unite members have been taking action at Faslane and Coulport since March in a dispute with employer Babcock Marine. Unite said it had learned of the MoD plans on Wednesday. The MoD said it was not involved in the dispute but Royal Navy staff would step in "where there is a safety issue". The Faslane base on the Clyde is home to the UK's fleet of Trident nuclear submarines. Unite members voted to take industrial action after the union accused Babcock of a "systematic campaign to undermine workers" in order to push through further outsourcing at the bases. Babcock has said it "absolutely" refutes the allegations. Talks intended to resolve the dispute were held recently at the conciliation service Acas but broke down after two days. The union represents a range of workers at Faslane and Coulport, including cleaners, housekeepers, logistics operatives, drivers and mail staff. It also has members in radiation monitoring and strategic weapons support roles. Unite regional officer Stephen Dean said: "It is outrageous for the Ministry of Defence to get involved in a trade dispute in this way, and a clear attack on the democratic rights of our members. "The MoD is misusing the nation's defence staff - ordering them in to help an employer who is attacking workers' rights." An MoD spokesman added: "This is an issue between Babcock and their employees. Royal Navy personnel are not taking over any civilian posts but where there is a safety issue they will step in." In a statement, Babcock said: "We support the Ministry of Defence and Royal Navy with the delivery of safe and secure operations daily at HMNB (Her Majesty's Naval Base) Clyde. "The current dispute with Unite does not change that focus. "We have written to Unite at a national level to reiterate our fully considered offer which addresses all of the concerns raised at the initial ACAS meeting and are continuing to work hard to find a resolution to this dispute." Media playback is not supported on this device Australia led 20-3 at half-time at the Principality Stadium and finished the game with five tries as they beat Wales for the 12th time in succession. "We lost that game in the first half and we will have to have a look at it and see where we went wrong," Blues prop Jenkins told BBC Sport. "It was always an an uphill task to get back in that game." Tries from Australia captain Stephen Moore, Reece Hodge and Tevita Kuridrani gave the visitors a formidable lead at the interval. Despite Scott Williams' try for Wales midway through the second period, Bernard Foley and Dane Haylett-Petty crossed as Australia opened their tour with a comfortable victory. Media playback is not supported on this device "We probably forced it a little bit too much in the first 20 minutes of the second half," said Jenkins. "We showed some good spirit to come back at the end and we probably could have got one more try. "We didn't get our hands on the ball in the first half, we made a few big defensive errors which punished us." Jenkins, making his 127th appearance for Wales, added he hoped his side would "bounce back" against Argentina next Saturday (17:30 GMT). Australia fly-half Foley was named man of the match for a superb attacking display which he capped with a try in the second half. "We prepared really well," he told BBC Sport. "We knew how dangerous this Welsh side is. They challenge us every time we play them and it's always a game full of physicality. "Credit goes to the rest of the team. Our attack worked out of defence, who were really solid and that was the pleasing thing." After a summer in which the Wallabies were whitewashed at home by England, Foley said the pressure is still on his side to perform. "It doesn't relieve the pressure but we're here to play every game and go week by week," he added. "It's an almighty tour for us and we wanted to start well." Australia skipper Moore was pleased with his side's performance. "I thought our attack functioned pretty well and we were pretty desperate in defence so it's a nice way to start the tour," he told BBC Sport. "We had a few weeks to work on that stuff. You come into a game with a plan every time and it's nice when it comes off under pressure. "The boys felt good. We had a good week of training and that's what is important." As part of a number of changes for 2016, Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, has limited the radio messages allowed between drivers and their team. It is hoped that it will make things more challenging for drivers, who will be more reliant on their own intuition. "They won't be able to listen to every message," said McLaren driver Button. "Hopefully they can listen to as much as possible, to make it as fair as possible." Media playback is not supported on this device Despite Button's uncertainty over how it will work, he has welcomed the rule and is confident it will add to the excitement. The Briton's team-mate, Fernando Alonso, is a little more apprehensive. "Instead of instinct from the driver, we will follow what we agreed two hours before the race," said the Spaniard two-time world champion. "It's strange the direction that they are going in the era of communication and technology. Formula 1 try to restrict it, which is probably not the normal way to go." The new North Wales Indoor Bowls Centre in Prestatyn closed this year when the trust running it ran out of money. Clwyd Leisure Ltd went into administration after Denbighshire council withdrew funding. But the bowls centre was refurbished over the summer by the council and is now hosting the World Under-25 Indoor Bowls Championship. Clwyd Leisure Ltd was set up by Denbighshire council in 2001 to run the bowls centre, Rhyl Sun Centre and Prestatyn's Nova Centre on its behalf. However, the council's cabinet decided to withdraw financial support of £200,000 for 2014/15 and Clwyd Leisure ceased trading in February. It comes after the Welsh government reduced the amount of money it gives ACW by £1m. Last week the body announced it was to set its investment strategy, which determines how it spends its budget over the next five years. Companies will find out in December 2015 if they will continue to be funded. ACW distributes annual grants to 69 organisations including Welsh National Opera, National Theatre Wales and Ballet Cymru. The organisation said its Welsh government funding had fallen by 10% since 2010. Since then it has sought to protect front-line activity by reducing grant investment in other development programmes and cut running costs, it said. Professor Dai Smith, chairman of ACW, said the arts in Wales were not immune to the squeeze in public funding, but warned managing the impact of cuts would be challenging. Models will need a doctor's certificate that their health is "compatible with the practise of the profession". Employers who break the law could face up to six months in jail and a €75,000 fine (£54,000, $81,000). A previous version of the bill had suggested a minimum Body Mass Index (BMI) for models, prompting protests from modelling agencies in France. But the final draft approved on Thursday allows doctors to decide whether a model is too thin by taking into account their weight, age, and body shape. It also says that digitally altered images making a model's silhouette "narrower or wider" should be labelled "touched up". France is not the first country to legislate on underweight models - Italy, Spain and Israel have all done so. Anorexia affects between 30,000 to 40,000 people in France, 90% of whom are women.

But the bus was late and missed my broadcast by a couple of minutes. For both the Labour leader and me it was an indication of bigger disappointments ahead over the next two days. In my broadcast, I confidently forecast - based on the opinion polls - the highly important "swing seats" across West Yorkshire would all go Labour's way. A few minutes later, Ed Miliband was introduced to the 500 cheering party members waiting in the auditorium of the Leeds City Museum as "the country's next Prime Minister". We both got it wrong. Miliband's Kinnock Moment I suppose history should have given us a hint of what could happen. The last time a Labour leader had chosen Yorkshire for his final rally on the eve of an election was in 1992. The pollster's favourite on that occasion was also greeted by a packed house of placard-waving supporters. But a couple of days later it was John Major who returned to Number 10 and Neil Kinnock was composing his letter of resignation. In a sense there was plenty of evidence that Labour's confidence was not as solidly based as the party, the polls and the media thought it was. At every one of the umpteen rallies, speeches and "public question and answer" events delivered by Ed Miliband in West Yorkshire, "key marginals" like Pudsey, had an audience was stuffed with supporters. Even the welcome outside the front door of every venue was carefully choreographed and the banners and placards handed out in the minutes before the big red bus drew up. Bus request stop On one occasion it even drew up twice. It stopped first to drop off the camera crews travelling with the Miliband entourage. It then drove round the corner and back again to ensure they got the pictures of him stepping off to be warmly greeted by the local candidate. In fact, there appeared to be only one event in Yorkshire that was not carefully organised by the Labour party. At the BBC's live Question Time event at Leeds Town Hall, both Ed Miliband and David Cameron came face-to-face with ordinary members of the public. It was not the smoothest of receptions. Campaign Achilles' heel The Leeds audience was a cross-section of voters, selected by an independent marketing company and it was clear they had burning questions for all the politicians. It was Ed Miliband that had the toughest corner to defend and it exposed the Achilles' heel of his campaign. Would he accept the previous Labour government had overspent? His less than convincing argument probably pushed more "don't knows" into the Conservative camp and it probably cost Ed Balls his seat in Morley and Outwood. It was also an indicator that Labour's slick campaign and cheering crowds were masking the fragility of Labour's position - a fact I had not spotted before my final live broadcast for Look North. Well, maybe I will get it right on my final broadcast before the poll on Thursday 7 May, 2020. Ajose's 81st-minute effort sealed Town's second dramatic 1-0 victory, having beaten Millwall last time out with a goal from Conor Thomas deep into stoppage time. Despite that confidence booster, it was Fleetwood who made most of the early running in this match, with their best opportunity coming when David Ball picked out Kyle Dempsey, only for Ash Hunter to be unable to get a toe on the through-ball as Lawrence Vigouroux gathered Swindon might have grabbed the lead on the half hour, against the run of play as Thomas let fly with a snap-shot from the edge of the box which forced a superb diving save from Alex Cairns. Fleetwood continued to be frustrated after half-time, and Uwe Rosler threw on two substitutes in a bid to shake up an average display. But it was Swindon who found another gear, Thomas poking just wide having been left unmarket at the near post. And with nine minutes remaining Ajose scored what could prove a vital Robins goal. Running onto a long through-ball from Charlie Colkett he got the wrong side of Ashley Eastham before slotting low under Cairns to claim the victory. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

It was a roadside bomb with a command wire attached. The 31-year-old man was arrested in Strabane on Saturday. Police have been given additional time to question a 20-year-old man who was arrested in Newtownstewart in connection with the bombing. The PSNI said it was "incredibly lucky" that no-one was killed in the incident. Parts of the town were cordoned off as a result of the security alert, and there was no access to the town via Liskey Road. The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) needs help to maintain the stock of BBC machines it uses in education programmes and exhibits. It is looking for people familiar with the computer and its peripherals including monitors and disk drives. The 8-bit BBC Micro was launched in 1981 and gave many people their first taste of home computing. The museum, which is located on the Bletchley Park estate, has about 80 BBC Micro computers, said Chris Monk, learning co-ordinator at the organisation. Some of these are in display cases, he said, but the majority form part of an interactive exhibit that recreates a 1980s classroom. Many times a week school groups visit this exhibit to find out about the social history of micro computers and to get a taste of what machines could do in the days before tablets, smartphones and laptops, said Mr Monk. "We want to find out whether people have got skills out there that can keep the cluster alive as long as we can," he said. Anyone with appropriate skills can contact the museum via its website. Some students studying computer science get a chance to use the machines and programme simple games in BBC Basic, he added, saying that using the language can be a revelation. "A lot of the students are used to using Python and they know how fussy that can be when you do not put your indents in the right place," said Mr Monk. "But BBC basic does not care as it was designed to be quite tolerant of spacing and it tries to give them sensible error messages." Valerie Quaye, an ICT teacher from the Kings of Wessex Academy in Cheddar, Somerset, who regularly takes students to TNMOC to try the BBC machines, said the hands-on experience was "invaluable". "We do teach programming but it is much more text-based," she said. "They do not see the output until they have written a lot of code." By contrast, she said, working on the BBC Micro was much more immediate. "It hooks them in even though it's quite basic," said Ms Quaye. "They get over the basic graphics very quickly." Owen Grover, a volunteer at the museum who currently helps maintain the cluster of BBC Micro machines, said they held up well despite being more than 30 years old. The BBC Micro was "pretty robust", he said, because it was designed to be used in classrooms. This meant that refurbishing machines for use in the hands-on exhibit was usually fairly straightforward. "The main problem we need to sort out is the power supply," he said. "There are two capacitors that dry out and if we do not replace them they tend to explode and stink the place out. So we change them as a matter of course." General maintenance on the machines includes replacing keys that stick and the occasional component that fails. Thankfully, he said, there were few custom-built components in the machine so getting spares is easy. Harder-to-obtain parts are cannibalised from broken or faulty machines the museum has in its stores. "The good thing about them is that they are repairable," said Mr Grover. "We are not going to be repairing power supplies in modern equipment in 30 years' time because they are not designed to be opened up and replaced." Doctors writing in British Medical Journal Case Reports said sushi's growing popularity in the West could be linked to a rise in parasitic infections. Experts treated a 32-year-old man, in Lisbon, who was found to have parasite larvae on his gut lining. He had been suffering stomach pain, vomiting and fever for a week. A blood test showed mild inflammation and the area below his ribs was found to be tender. But it was only when the man said he had recently eaten sushi that doctors suspected he might have anisakiasis. Anisakiasis is a parasitic disease caused by anisakid nematodes (worms) that can invade the stomach wall or intestine of humans. It occurs when infected larvae are ingested from undercooked or raw fish or squid. Doctors performed an endoscopy on the man, inserting a long tube with a camera into the stomach. They found the larvae of a worm-like parasite firmly attached to an area of swollen and inflamed gut lining. A special kind of net was used to remove the larvae "and the patient's symptoms resolved immediately", the team from a central Lisbon hospital said. They added that most cases of anisakiasis to date had been reported in Japan, but warned: "However, it has been increasingly recognised in Western countries." Atlantic salmon and sea trout caught at sea or in UK rivers are also known to be at risk of being infected with same species of parasite, NHS Choices says. The advice is to remove the guts of the fish, freeze it for at least four days and then cook thoroughly before eating. He is credited with helping achieve economic growth after the devastation caused by the Khmer Rouge regime, responsible for one of the worst mass killings of the 20th century. But the prime minister, 60, is also seen as an authoritarian figure with a poor human rights record and the resources to thwart any real political challenge. He shows no signs of wanting to relinquish power - in May he said he wanted another decade at the top. His ruling Cambodia People's Party (CPP) is expected to dominate elections on 28 July 2103, most likely extending his leadership, despite the return of opposition leader Sam Rainsy. Born into a peasant family in 1952, Hun Sen was educated by Buddhist monks in Phnom Penh. In the late 1960s, he joined the Communist Party, and for a while he was even a member of the Khmer Rouge - although he denies accusations that he was any more than an ordinary soldier. He lost his left eye during an exchange of gunfire and he has reportedly said he can only see a limited distance. During Pol Pot's tyrannical regime in the late 1970s, under which as many as two million people died, Hun Sen fled to Vietnam to join troops opposed to the Khmer Rouge. When Vietnam installed a new government in Cambodia in 1979, he returned as minister of foreign affairs, becoming prime minister in 1985 at the age of 33. Hun Sen lost the 1993 elections, but he refused to accept the results and forced a negotiation to become second prime minister alongside the Funcinpec Party's Prince Norodom Ranariddh. He went on to seize power in a bloody coup in 1997, forcing Prince Ranariddh to temporarily leave the country. The CPP won general elections in 2003 but did not have two-thirds majority, so it struck a deal with Funcinpec in 2004, ending almost a year of political deadlock. Hun Sen was re-elected prime minister by parliament in July 2004. In Cambodia's 2008 elections the CPP won most of the contested seats. But the polls were criticised by international monitors, with the EU saying the ruling party made "consistent and widespread" use of state resources for its own campaign. Rights groups have also regularly criticised the country's human rights situation. "The human rights situation in Cambodia deteriorated markedly in 2012 with a surge in violent incidents, as the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) prepared for national elections," Human Rights Watch said. At least 35 rights activists "opposing land grabs and demanding better working conditions were killed, wounded, arbitrarily arrested, threatened with arrest, or kept in exile by CPP-led security forces and the CPP-controlled judiciary". Ahead of these elections, Hun Sen faced calls from the US to allow his main rival, Sam Rainsy, to return. A royal pardon was subsequently granted to Mr Rainsy, who had been living abroad after being jailed in absentia on charges he said were politically motivated. Mr Rainsy returned to Cambodia but remains unable to run in the polls on a technicality. And observers say that the conditions for a fair election do not exist because of the CPP's tight control over the media, judiciary and other key state organs. Hun Sen has not campaigned for his re-election bid. "I will not participate during the campaign. I don't want to face confrontation because during that time of year many people will criticise the CPP," he said. But in a speech in June he said Cambodians should keep the polls from "breaking our nation, society, village and family". "I am calling on all of our people and officials not to retaliate to acts of insulting [from opposition parties]." "If they insult us... you just kindly and politely respond: 'For me, I think the Cambodian People's Party is good because it saved people from the genocide regime of Pol Pot, rebuilds the country. I wonder if I have seen the opposition party has done anything for the country so far'."

He feels Parker's team are "looking past" him, having held meetings with Hearn, who promotes fellow Briton and WBA and IBF champion Anthony Joshua. "I would take me completely seriously because I am coming for that belt," said Fury. "Eddie Hearn, a cockroach, that's what you are, with your big stiff fighter, I'm coming for you next. "When I get that belt, me and Tyson are unifying this full division together. Full stop." Tyson Fury could compete on the undercard of the bout if boxing authorities reinstate his licence, according to Peter Fury, who trains the cousins. He has not fought since overcoming Wladimir Klitshcko in 2015 to take the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. Tyson Fury vacated his titles in October 2016 to concentrate on his "medical treatment and recovery" after admitting taking cocaine to deal with depression. The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' refused to be drawn on his own future at Tuesday's news conference in Manchester. Peter Fury - father of Hughie - believes the meeting with Parker at the Manchester Arena is a "50-50 fight". He added: "It's a massive opportunity for Hughie. A big step up to world level. Parker is no mug, a serious contender." Both Parker and his trainer Kevin Barry stated they respected Hughie Fury and said meetings with Hearn were lined up purely because they were in the UK. Parker, who has defended the WBO title once since winning it in 2016, has only competed outside his native New Zealand in four of his 23 fights. "I'm not taking him lightly or looking past him," said Parker, 25. "Since becoming champion it's just motivated me to train even harder." Hughie Fury and Parker were due to meet in Auckland on 6 May but the Briton withdrew with a back injury. He boasts a record of 20 wins from as many fights, while Parker has won all of his 23 contests. The 22-year-old had escaped from a parked police car after he was driven from Strand Road PSNI station to the court on Bishop Street on 23 December. He got out and climbed over a six-foot high security fence, then scaled a second, higher, fence, walked through turnstiles and ran along the street. The man was arrested in Derry early on Tuesday. Guardiola, 45, has agreed a three-year deal to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Premier League side in the summer. In six full seasons, ex-Barcelona coach Guardiola has won 19 trophies including six league and two European Cup titles. "Why would it be difficult? I am like a woman, I can multi-task and control both situations. I have a big talent for this," said Guardiola. Guardiola reportedly rejected a new contract with the Bundesliga champions last year and announced in December he would be leaving the club. His side are still chasing a league, cup and Champions League treble and could meet City in the latter stages of the European competition. "I cannot say something every week about it," said Guardiola. "It is another four months and for me it is not a problem. Newspapers can continue attacking and I will continue doing my job. "Coaches get little respect these days. It is everywhere like that. In Madrid, Barcelona, Germany, England. "There are respectable papers here that have not asked me a single question on football in these three years. "But that comes with the job. I do not understand it but I can live with it." 26 November 2015 Last updated at 13:08 GMT The first virtual visitors were young patients at nearby King's College Hospital. The small gallery attracts 160,000 visitors a year and has one of the finest collections of old masters in the UK, including paintings by Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Canaletto. Now it has collaborated with Google to create a virtual tour using the Google Cardboard VR headset. At King's College Hospital a group of six children tried out the app at the hospital's school room, where long-term young patients have classes. They were able to look at pictures and wander through the gallery designed by Sir John Soane in the early 19th century. The young visitors were mostly enthusiastic about the experience, though several said it could not match up to a real visit to the gallery, and one said it made him feel slightly dizzy. Dulwich Picture gallery, which is run as a charity and receives no government funds, hopes to reach a new audience through its VR app, some of whom may end up travelling to see the museum first-hand. BP said the semi-submersible Deepsea Aberdeen had been contracted to drill wells across the Loyal and Schiehallion fields, as part of the Quad204 development. The firm's North Sea business regional president Trevor Garlick said it was an "exciting and important milestone". BP and Shell share Loyal ownership. The Schiehallion field ownership interest is split between Shell, BP and OMV. The Deepsea Aberdeen is operated from Odfjell Drilling in Aberdeen. Stephen Lloyd has resigned as parliamentary private secretary to the Energy Secretary Ed Davey over "vague promises" for road improvements. He criticised the government's "utterly lamentable" failure to fund improvements at an accident blackspot. In a statement he said he felt Eastbourne had been "let down". A transport investment strategy announced on Monday did not include a proposal to increase capacity to ease traffic at the blackspot on the A27 between Lewes and Polegate in East Sussex. It did set aside some funds for work dependent on expansion at Gatwick Airport. Mr Lloyd was elected as MP for Eastbourne and Willingdon in 2010. He said he could not accept the "vague promise" of extra money in future and would continue to fight for the work to be done. In a statement, Mr Lloyd said: "After all the work and cross-community effort by so many local residents and businesses, I am profoundly disappointed by the proposal put forward by the Department for Transport. "There is a vague promise for some time in the future. This isn't jam tomorrow, but more like the possibility of jam some time, if we're lucky, in a few years." He said the fight for improvements to the A27 "would carry on". "The Government's proposal to fix the problems of our dreadful road has been utterly lamentable, and the town has been let down," Mr Lloyd said. He described the section of the south-coast route as "utterly dreadful and unsafe". The Department of Energy and Climate Change said it would not be commenting on the resignation. First-half goals from Ian Henderson and Steven Davies proved enough to keep Keith Hill's men in fourth place while Ivan Toney's late strike was no more than consolation for the struggling Shrews. Shaun Whalley was denied an early goal when he lost out in a one-on-one with Dale goalkeeper Conrad Logan and the home side took advantage of that let-off by taking a fourth-minute lead. Shrews defender Mat Sadler's attempt to play the ball forward struck the shins of Davies and rebounded in behind the visitors' backline, sending Henderson scampering through on goal and he finished clinically. Dale's second goal of the night in the 28th minute came in controversial circumstances. Davies challenged Jayson Leutwiler to a high ball which the goalkeeper appeared to have caught until it was hooked out of his grasp by Henderson, leaving Davies with the simple task of converting from close range. The referee was duly surrounded by red and black shirts protesting and there was an air of confusion about the stadium for a few seconds before the realisation the goal was to stand. Toney's 86th-minute effort raised the visitors' hopes briefly but Dale were good value for the three points. Report supplied by the Press Association. Match ends, Rochdale 2, Shrewsbury Town 1.

Delaney Robinson, 19, has gone public to accuse Allen Artis, 21, of sexually assaulting her in February this year at a campus dorm room. He went to a magistrate's office to face a minor charge of misdemeanour sexual battery and assault. Prosecutors say they have yet to decide whether to bring felony charges. Mr Artis was released on Wednesday after posting a $5,000 bond (£3,790). The arrest warrant stated he had sex with Ms Robinson against her will when he "should have reasonably known that the other person was mentally incapacitated and physically helpless". The reserve junior linebacker was suspended indefinitely from the football team on Tuesday as per university policy. In a press conference on Tuesday, Ms Robinson said Mr Artis raped her after she became intoxicated and was unable to consent. Ms Robinson, who said she did not know her alleged attacker, told reporters she was asked "demeaning and accusatory questions" by investigators from the university's department of public safety after reporting the incident. Ms Robinson said they asked: "Did I lead him on? Have I hooked up with him before? Do I often have one-night stands? "Did I even say no? What is my sexual history? How many men have I slept with? I was treated like a suspect." Ms Robinson said she became enraged when she heard a recording of her alleged rapist's interviews with police. "Rather than accusing him of anything, the investigators spoke to him with a tone of camaraderie." She added: "They told him, 'don't sweat it, just keep on living your life and keep on playing football.'" Ms Robinson said she was under the legal drinking age at the time, but "that doesn't give anyone the right to violate me". "I did not deserve to be raped," she said at the press conference, seated beside her lawyer and her father. The college sophomore says she loves University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and does not plan to leave. Her lawyer, Denise Branch, said the Orange County District Attorney told her "unconsciousness is rape; black-out drunk is not rape". Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall told local media the case has been "investigated thoroughly", but the inquiry is ongoing. UNC-Chapel Hill issued a statement after Ms Robinson's news conference. The university said it took all allegations about sexual violence or misconduct extremely seriously. About 100 homes were searched by the fire service after the River Carron burst its banks and about 40 were evacuated. Residents said the worst of the flooding occurred overnight into Sunday and water levels were waist-high. Environment protection agency Sepa has put 31 flood warnings in place, mainly in Perthshire, Angus and Aberdeenshire. Some routes in central and east Fife were closed. The A90 was hit in several areas, and flooding also closed the A85 at Comrie, and the A92 at Ardestie. Rail services have been disrupted because of a landslip near Cairnrobin level crossing, between Montrose and Aberdeen. A replacement bus service is now operating between Dundee and Aberdeen. A Network Rail spokesman said there was up to 3ft (1m) of water on some parts of the tracks, and it was unlikely that the route between Dundee and Aberdeen would reopen on Sunday. Serco NorthLink Ferries warned that, because of high winds, sailings between the Northern Isles and Aberdeen - which have not run since Thursday - would not resume until Sunday night. The sailing from Aberdeen to Lerwick is now scheduled to leave between 20:00 and 24:00, but there will be no stop at Kirkwall. In Brechin, residents in the River Street area were placed on alert as the waters of the River South Esk rose, threatening a repeat of the flooding experienced in the town in October. Tayside Police later released an update, saying water levels had receded, but added that they would remain in the area to answer any concerns from locals.

In Stonehaven, a rendezvous point for members of the public was set up at Market Square and a rest centre established at Mackie Academy, although all evacuated residents later secured temporary accommodation with family or friends. David Fleming, a member of Stonehaven's community council, said the area had been hit by persistent heavy rain for a few days, and it had got much worse overnight into Sunday. He told BBC Scotland: "Some of the water from the fields above the town just came right down the main road and into the High Street and flooded to a depth of about waist height or more. "A significant part of the town has still got water in it and in the part that hasn't, there's a whole lot of mud and debris on the street." The BBC's Steven Duff said the High Street was still badly flooded on Sunday afternoon, with water reaching car bonnets and raw sewage on the street, along with other debris. Jill Paterson, who lives on the town's High Street, told BBC Scotland: "I woke up about 04:45, there was a few car alarms going off in the street. "When I looked out the window, you could see the water right down the middle of the street. It was just this kind of brown, gungy water." "When I went to the bathroom, which is at the back of the house, the brown water was coming up through my bath and through the toilet. My heart was thumping in my chest." Police said there were no reports of any injuries and it is understood water levels were now falling and the weather was improving. Environment Minister Paul Wheelhouse chaired another meeting of the Scottish government's resilience group. Afterwards, he said: "Tomorrow I will visit Stonehaven to see the extent of the flooding, meet residents who have been affected and thank local people for their efforts. "Across the country, in locations affected by flooding such as Arbroath, Brechin, Stonehaven, and in the Northern Isles which have been affected by severe winds, determined work has been happening at local level to support members of the public at what has been a testing time."

David Strang highlighted the case of a prisoner at HMP Kilmarnock who shoplifted in the hope he would be caught and returned to jail. The man had been living in a tent for eight weeks following his release. The Scottish Prison Service said significant investment had been made in "throughcare" for inmates. Mr Strang said inspectors had spoken to the man caught shoplifting, who told them no accommodation had been available to him after he was released from prison. The former inmate wanted to return to prison because he believed it was the only way for him to access a dry bed, warmth and shelter. Mr Strang acknowledged that returning to the community from prison was "challenging" and said many individuals needed more direct support than was always available to them. He has called for all agencies involved in the reintegration of prisoners back into their communities to work collaboratively "in order to ensure the best possible outcomes". Referring to the specific example of the prisoner, who had previously been at HMP Barlinnie, he said: "These are not the circumstances we want people leaving prison in 21st Century Scotland to have to face. "However, it is not a situation that can be resolved by the prison service alone. "This requires a dedicated and co-ordinated response by all those involved in supporting people in the criminal justice system and beyond." The chief inspector was speaking as he launched his full report of an inspection of Kilmarnock prison in East Ayrshire, which was carried out in November. He said it was "disappointing" there were no dedicated throughcare support officers at HMP Kilmarnock, adding that prisoners were denied levels of support available at other prisons in Scotland. The prison, which can hold about 500 people, is one of two operated by private sector organisations on contract to the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). The report concluded the institution was secure and well-ordered, with the majority of staff and prisoners saying they felt safe. Inspectors graded the prison satisfactory or acceptable across all main criteria. But they also noted the prison contract itself was seen by many as "a barrier to progress and a reason for inflexibility and resistance to change". An SPS spokeswoman said: "SPS's significant investment in throughcare support officers means that those leaving custody are now supported in planning for their release at a much earlier stage in their sentence, in order to ensure that they have access to key services on release." Welcoming the wider report, she said: "SPS also welcomes HMIP's comments that Kilmarnock is a safe prison, with a good range of educational and vocational opportunities available to those in our care. "The report also notes that HMP Kilmarnock offers a well-considered range of purposeful activities to match the ability, preference and age of most prisoners." She added that the SPS did not share the view the contract may inhibit the delivery of services to inmates at Kilmarnock. A Scottish government spokeswoman said: "The inspection findings reflect our position, that public services must respond to the needs of people in the justice system, and particularly those being released from prison. "Anybody presenting as homeless when they leave prison must be given support by the relevant local authority, but we recognise that housing service provision is complex. "We are supporting ongoing work between justice and housing partners to develop a consistent and shared approach across the country." Alison Watson, from Shelter Scotland, said the provision of stable, safe and affordable homes for former inmates was key to breaking the offending cycle. "When in prison, people often lose their accommodation because of an inability to pay rent whilst serving their sentence or through a family break-up," she said. "Many don't have a job to go back to upon release, making finding and maintaining a home very difficult. "It doesn't need to be this way and with the right advice and support, ex-offenders can go on to lead successful lives and contribute a great deal to our society." Authorities said the two Canadians, a Briton and a Dutchman may be charged with causing public nuisance. Mt Kinabalu was hit by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake last Friday which left 18 people dead, including children. A senior minister last week said the tourists had angered the spirits of the mountain, which is considered sacred. Ranau district police chief Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah confirmed to the BBC that the authorities had arrested a British woman at Tawau airport in Sabah on Tuesday. The two Canadians, who are siblings, and the Dutchman turned themselves in to police on the same day. Their lawyer, Ronny Cham, told the BBC's Jennifer Pak that he had requested the four be held apart from other detainees in order to ensure their safety. The group appeared in court on Wednesday to have their remand extended, according to Malaysian newspaper The Star. They will now be held until Saturday while police continue their investigation. Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman, Sabah's police commissioner, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying that the authorities may charge them with causing a public nuisance. He said they were still looking for six other tourists from the same group "and we will catch them". The father of the British tourist who has been arrested, Eleanor Hawkins from the English city of Derby, said he was extremely worried about her. "I have got every faith in [Malaysia's] judicial system. I just hope they don't make an example of them," Tim Hawkins told the Guardian newspaper. The group of 10 foreigners had allegedly stripped naked and posed for pictures on 30 May. They were also said to have urinated on the mountain. The Muslim-majority country is socially conservative, and Mount Kinabalu is also considered sacred by Sabah's Kadazan Dusun tribe. Pictures posted on social media angered many in Malaysia, but public sentiment intensified after the quake. Last weekend, Sabah's deputy chief minister, Joseph Pairin Kitingan, had linked the earthquake to the tourists' act. He said the tragedy was a "confirmation" that they had showed "disrespect" to the mountain. Sabah's tourism minister, Masidi Manjun, said later that this idea was "misconstrued", but added that the tourists' actions "were against the people of the largest tribe in Sabah". Some officials have demanded that the foreigners be tried in a native court for flouting local customs. Mr Masidi said on Wednesday that searchers had found the bodies of the last two missing people. Singapore's education ministry identified the two bodies as pupil Navdeep Singh Jaryal Raj Kumar and teacher Mohammad Ghazi Bin Mohamed. They were part of a group from Tanjong Katong Primary School who were climbing the mountain with guides when the earthquake struck. Seven pupils, two teachers and a guide were killed. Others killed included Malaysians and citizens from China, Japan and the Philippines. Figures seen by the BBC show almost half of those having to be reassessed for this support under the changes lost their Motability vehicle. Many had been adapted to meet their owners' needs and campaigners warn it could lead to a loss of independence. But the government says the new process is fairer and people can appeal. More than 650,000 people currently use the Motability Scheme, which allows disabled people to lease a new car, scooter or powered wheelchair using their government-funded mobility allowance. The scheme also helps towards the cost of adaptations - such as a hoist for a wheelchair or hand controls - that the individual requires. Until recently, anyone receiving the highest rate of the "mobility component" of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) was eligible for the scheme. However, as part of Department for Work and Pensions welfare changes, the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) began replacing DLA from April 2013. Under DLA, most people completed their own application form and did not have to reapply once entered into the scheme. With PIPs, everyone - new applicants and those already in receipt of DLA - will have to attend a face-to-face assessment by government-hired private companies, and only those scoring 12 points or more will qualify for support - currently £57.45 per week. To date, Motability has seen around 51,200 people join the scheme using PIP. Of those previously on higher rate DLA, 31,200 people have so far been reassessed for PIP, and of those, 55% - or 17,300 - have kept their car. But the remaining 45% - 13,900 people - have lost the higher rate and therefore their car as well. Despite being an amputee with spina bifida, who is only able to take a few steps, Christine Mitchell did not score the points she needed to keep her Motability car. She appealed and eventually won, but is extremely critical of the reassessment process. "I explained to the lady in detail that I wasn't able to walk. She asked me how far I could walk, and there was a filing cabinet that was maybe 3ft away, and I said I could possibly walk that far. "It was so frustrating. I looked at my husband and I was near enough in tears because I couldn't make her understand. "She hadn't got a clue what spina bifida was." Some 360,000 people will eventually undergo PIP reassessments, including those currently on an "indefinite" or "lifetime" DLA award. Disabled children will continue to receive DLA until they reach the age of 16 and those who were aged 65 or over on 8 April 2013 are also unaffected. Liz Sayce, chief executive of Disability Rights UK, told the BBC "being disabled costs money". "The Personal Independence Payment is supposed to help with those costs, but many people are being denied the benefit because they are not assessed properly. "Sometimes that means people lose their cars; a massive blow which impacts on their ability to remain independent, take part in their communities or get and keep a job." Minister for Disabled People Justin Tomlinson said people's circumstances changed over time and it was right they should be reassessed. "But rightly we have a system that allows for an appeal, a mandatory reconsideration and then if they're not satisfied with that they can go for an independent appeal, so there are lots of opportunities if a claimant thinks a decision is wrong to have that looked at again." Latest figures show that of all the appeals to do with PIP, 60% have found in the claimant's favour. Motability says it provides a support package, including a £2,000 grant, to anyone forced to leave the scheme following a PIP reassessment. The charity added: "This helps individuals to remain mobile, in many cases by purchasing a used car. Motability has already provided some £16m in support through this transitional package." The government hopes to save £2bn as a result of the switch from DLA to PIPs. West Mercia and Warwickshire were among five forces to be given the rating by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC). Criticism included "too many records [of stop and search] did not contain sufficient reasonable grounds". HMIC said both forces were, however, developing "an ethical culture". The forces said they had made support for staff a "top priority for 2016" and they would be reviewing training on stop and search and working with Northamptonshire Police. Inspectors did however, say the forces were "good" in their commitment to and engagement with their communities. Warwickshire carried out 3,092 top and searches in the year to 31 March 2015, while West Mercia did 9,874. A sample of 100 stop and search records from Warwickshire Police revealed 29 did not have reasonable grounds recorded, said HMIC. In West Mercia's case it was 21 out of 100. While all chief constables had signed up to the Home Office and College of Police's Best Use of Stop and Search scheme, HMIC said it was "disappointed too many forces were not complying". HMIC said it would revisit both forces in six months to check what changes had been made. The two forces were also told to improve the way they dealt with staff complaints, with misconduct consistently assessed and free from any bias. HMIC inspected all 43 forces in England and Wales, grading 37 as "good" while Kent Police were dubbed "outstanding". None was "inadequate". Rohith Vemula, a PhD student, killed himself inside the campus of Hyderabad Central University last month. He was one of five Dalit, formerly known as untouchables, students who were protesting against their expulsion from the university's housing facility. Mr Vemula's friends have blamed the university's top officials and a federal minister for his death. The BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi says the protesting students decided to return to classes after arriving at a "conditional agreement" with the newly appointed vice-chancellor of the university. The university has already revoked the suspension of the four other Dalit students following the uproar over Mr Vemula's death. The university was shut on 18 January after Mr Vemula, a research scholar, took his own life. Mr Vemula's friends want action to be taken against the university's senior officials as well as federal minister Bandaru Dattatreya, who is accused of pressurising university officials to take action against the Dalit students. Students across India have held protests over the incident. Mr Vemula and the four other students faced allegations last year that they attacked a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) - the student wing of India's ruling BJP. They all denied the charge. The university cleared them in an initial inquiry, but reversed its decision in December. The five Dalit students were subsequently barred from using the university's housing and other facilities, reports say, prompting their supporters to allege they had been subject to a "social boycott".

The 25-year-old initially moved to Sixways in November last year on a short-term deal to provide cover for the injured Francois Hougaard. Dowsett has played eight times since joining from Australian Super Rugby side ACT Brumbies. "Michael has shown tremendous professionalism," director of rugby Gary Gold told the club website. "He provides important competition in the half-back position and he's a hungry, enthusiastic individual who drives standards across the board."

Worcester Warriors have extended Australian-born England-qualified scrum-half Michael Dowsett's contract.

The 43-year-old died while attempting a wingsuit flight from the 7,500 ft (2,286m) Taft Point promontory in Yosemite National Park, a park spokesman said. Fellow extreme athlete Graham Hunt also died as the pair attempted to fly at high speed. Rescuers found the bodies soon after contact had been lost with the men. The men were wearing skin tight suits with batwing sleeves and a flap between their legs to help them glide. Park ranger Scott Gediman said that their parachutes had not been deployed. "This is a horrible incident, and our deepest sympathies go out to their friends and family," Mr Gediman told the AP news agency. "This is a huge loss for all of us." Such stunts are illegal in the National Park but enthusiasts frequently manage to evade the authorities. My vision turns black and white except for the searing red line. Sounds fade. I feel faint, face flushed with heat. My muscles tense, but I hold calmness in my centre and loosen my arms from the shoulders to my fingertips. The moment sickens me, and my mind tries to stop it, but I command myself to walk. From deanspotter.com Base jumping: 'It's an addiction' The world of extreme sport has paid tribute to Potter, a climber who continuously pushed the limits of what was possible. He was a leading practitioner of "extreme highlining": walking across a tightrope between rock formations with only a parachute for safety. Those who worked with him say that base jumping - basically jumping from a fixed structure like a building or cliff - was possibly his greatest risk. "Base jumping is the most dangerous thing you can do... every time you jump it's a roll of the dice," photographer Corey Rich told the AP news agency. "The odds are not in your favour, and sadly Dean pulled the unlucky card." Last year the nutrition company Clif Bar withdrew their sponsorship of Potter and four other top climbers, as it felt uncomfortable with the risks that they were taking. Potter was the first to climb Yosemite's three most famous big walls in a single day. Earlier this month he set a record for the fastest ascent of one the park's most well known rock formations, the Half Dome, He was also renowned for his high-line walks and high-risk parachute jumps, some of which he carried out with his dog, Whisper. Last year he released a 22-minute long film, When Dogs Fly that chronicled Whisper's extreme adventures. Although it became a viral sensation, it also attracted criticism from animal rights activists. Climber Doug Robinson told the BBC that Potter had always sought to take on new challenges. "We're very sad about Dean Potter's death, but not very surprised," he told BBC Newsday, "he was pushing the envelope all his life." The Typhoons were launched from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to identify an "unresponsive civilian aircraft", the RAF said. Communications were re-established and the aircraft was safely escorted to Cardiff Airport, a spokesman added. The Challenger 300 jet left the airport at 19:20 GMT, thought to be heading to its original destination, Dublin. Cardiff Airport said the plane had temporarily lost radio contact. "As a precautionary measure the aircraft was escorted into Cardiff Airport as a safe place to land," it said. The airport added that it was open and operating as normal. It is understood that one passenger and two crew were on board the private jet. All the main emergency services sent crews to Cardiff Airport at about 16:30 BST, including seven fire appliances. Police and ambulance also attended. The sonic boom caused by the RAF jets was heard across Oxfordshire. But Prof Sheila Rowan and Prof Jim Hough said the seminal findings were "worth much more" than any winnings. Both scientists are part of the Ligo collaboration that detected the waves. Back in 2004, the pair placed a £25 wager at odds of 100/1 that Ligo - then in its first incarnation - would "detect gravitational waves by 2010". "It was worth a punt," Prof Rowan told the BBC. Betting agency Ladbrokes offered the wager alongside four other possible scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of the Higgs boson (odds of 6/1), the arrival of fusion power (50/1) and finding life on Saturn's moon Titan (10,000/1). Gravitational waves, tiny ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein, started out at 500/1 to be detected by 2010. But the bookmaker slashed that figure after a rush of bets - some of them from physicists - which made headlines at the time. "If I remember correctly, we were contacted by a colleague," said Prof Rowan, from the University of Glasgow. "Neither Jim nor I are gamblers, so we had to figure out how to set up an account with Ladbrokes. It took us some time to do that and by then, the odds had started to drop." Eventually they sank to 6/1 before the book closed, she recalled. "They stopped taking bets, because our community all went - this is too good to miss! We might see something." Ligo is an international project set up to detect gravitational waves using two huge laser instruments in the US states of Louisiana and Washington. It was decades in the making and UK scientists, including Prof Hough, were key to its development. Prof Rowan said there was general agreement that detecting gravitational waves with Ligo's first run, from 2002 to 2010, was "possible but not probable". Many researchers thought they would need to wait for the subsequent upgrade to boost the devices' sensitivity. But there was always a chance. She remembers 2010, and the chance of £2,500 in winnings, whistling past without much sense of disappointment. "I can't remember what I was doing, but we all remembered the bet," Prof Rowan said. In the end, of course, a set of Einstein's fabled waves wobbled through Ligo's laser beams in September 2015, just as the team were turning the instruments back on as "Advanced Ligo" after a major revamp. These minuscule ripples had travelled across the cosmos, at the speed of light, for 1.3 billion years. Their source was the spectacular merger of two very large black holes. "It was worth the extra six years," Prof Rowan said. Dr Fred Raab, head of the Ligo lab in Hanford, Washington, said that detecting a black hole merger, in particular, was something that nobody would have bet on. Most of the team's attention had always been focussed on detecting a pair of neutron stars, merging to form a black hole. "The reason was that binary neutron stars were known to exist and there was a crude estimate of the number within a certain distance of Earth that might merge within the lifetime of the Universe. Those estimates varied by a factor of a thousand, but were the most solid estimates that existed for any of the possible sources of gravitational waves." By contrast, merging black holes were an unknown unknown. "Since there were no known black hole binaries, there were only mathematical simulations that varied between predicting we would see them once per year with Initial Ligo (the experiment before its upgrade), and saying they cannot form at all." That made September's detection historic on multiple fronts, said Prof Rowan. "The very thing that we detected was a surprise - two black holes. And they're big; their size is very interesting to astronomers. So it's amazing that immediately we're doing fantastic science. "We're willing to lose out on the £2,500. This is worth much more." The move ahead of the UK government's budget in March was sanctioned by a meeting of the Scottish cabinet. Ministers agreed that they would lobby to "remove barriers to exploration" and back reskilling. A spokesman for the UK government said it was committed to supporting the oil and gas industry. Concerns are growing for the sector as global oil prices continue to slide. The cost of a barrel of Brent crude oil has fallen from more than $100 in January 2014 to less than $30 in January 2016. The Scottish government believed fiscal policy was the "main lever for incentivising investment, exploration and production in the North Sea". And because tax policy is reserved to the UK government, the cabinet decided that Mr Swinney should seek an "urgent meeting" with Mr Osborne to outline why taxes on the industry "must be lowered". After the meeting, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that the oil and gas industry was a "huge success story" for Scotland. It had also fostered innovation, supported energy security and skilled employment, and generated significant economic value, she added. However, she went on: "There is no doubt the industry is currently facing an extremely challenging outlook, but oil and gas can continue to make a significant contribution to the Scottish economy and energy security for decades to come. "However, this will only be achieved if we support the industry through this difficult period, encourage investment and ensure it remains well placed to benefit from a future upturn in oil prices." Ms Sturgeon said the cabinet agreed to; Following news of the Scottish cabinet meeting, the UK government said that in last year's spring Budget, a package of reforms worth £1.3bn was available to support the sector. A spokesman added: "This included reducing the headline tax rates and introducing a new Investment Allowance to reward companies investing in the UK Continental Shelf. "This package is expected to encourage over £4bn of additional investment over the next five years. We also recently set out our strategy to maximise economic recovery through better collaboration between companies and improved cost-efficiency." The focus on the oil and gas industry comes as financial services company KPMG said that "waning confidence" among potential sector lenders was a "real concern". KPMG's Geoff Jacobs said: "Although lenders will want to remain supportive, businesses will have to take the initiative to demonstrate they have a strategy to navigate the current challenges to secure the ongoing support of their stakeholders and maximise their chances of coming through the current difficulties. "Collaboration is a priority for the industry now and that also extends to the financial institutions with a stake in it. "We know that our industry is cyclical and that the market will recover. "For now it is a question of not panicking and doing everything possible to ensure that the industry maintains its ability to function when the tide begins to turn." "I do planting, weeding and harvesting on the farm," says Manal, as she empties her bag of vegetables into a sack held by her younger brother. "It's the same work we used to do on our land back in Homs." Refugees have long been working illegally on farms in Jordan but risked being deported back to Syria if they were caught. Now they can get free work permits. "We feel the difference," says Mohammed. "Before we couldn't work outside easily. We hid from the police. With the permits, it's excellent." More than 650,000 Syrians are registered as refugees in Jordan. However, until recently, the government allowed only a few thousand to work. It was worried they would push down wages, take jobs from Jordanians and be encouraged to stay permanently, stirring up resentment. Now the authorities are experimenting with another possibility - that the presence of so many Syrians could boost the sluggish economy. About 350 Syrians work for al-Rahman Farms. "It helped us a lot. They saved us from having to bring in migrant labourers from abroad. They also saved us money," says the farms' owner, Jamal Alzoubi. "We used to hire Egyptians at two Jordanian dinars (£2.10; $2.80) an hour. They dictated terms. When the Syrians came it reduced wages. We had more workers and we started to cultivate more land. Now we have a big area." Syrians at the farm come from a nearby refugee camp. They are given breakfast and work for an hourly rate of one dinar. Mr Alzoubi is convinced it is a win-win situation. "Now these people live in dignity," he says. "The camp where they live is oppressive but now they're free to come and go. They go to the market. They have permits. There's no problem." The reversal of Jordanian policy was announced at a conference on Syria for international donors in London in February. European leaders pledged to ease trade regulations in return. Last month, a key deal was reached to simplify the so-called rules of origin for Jordanian factories exporting to the European Union. It allows more imported raw materials to be used in finished products that are labelled as Jordan-made, so they get duty-free access to EU markets. There are quotas for the numbers of Syrians that businesses must employ. "Having the new rules of origin and having the ability to employ Syrians in sectors - especially blue collar sectors - is very much allowing us to convert this burden and challenge into an opportunity," says Jordanian planning minister, Imad Fakhoury. "Hopefully this will increase jobs for Jordanians as well as for Syrian refugees and attract new investments, increasing exports which will contribute to economic growth." Jordan's economy is currently growing at just 2.4% a year. It has suffered from a loss of trade with its war-torn neighbours, Syria and Iraq and there is high national debt. Now it is being offered international support to turn things around. The World Bank has already announced a $100m interest-free loan. Next month it is expected to announce a $300m programme to attract investment, reform the labour market and create jobs. The target is for Jordan to employ 200,000 Syrians. The EU, in particular, wants more refugees to work; it hopes that by improving their living standards, they will be less likely to head for European shores. Donors also want to reduce dependence on handouts. Funds pledged for some 4.7 million Syrians now living in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey has consistently fallen short of targets. Last year's influx of hundreds of thousands to Europe partly resulted from cuts to food aid and cash payments. So far some 20,000 work permits have been given out in Jordan. Syrian refugees are happy to have them but many say it will take more to improve their lot. In Amman, I meet a middle-aged carpenter who asks us not to give his name. He is making high-end, custom-made furniture as he once did for his family's shops in Homs. However, in Jordan, he can be paid only the minimum wage. His permit describes him as doing a different, low-skilled job. "There's huge suffering even among those who work," the carpenter says. "The salaries aren't enough and the United Nations isn't providing much. I'm behind on my rent, I have debts." "We don't get healthcare and I spent all my savings on hospital treatment for my wife," he goes on. "I need a heart procedure and I shouldn't work but the day I don't work, I don't eat." Media playback is not supported on this device Sherwood himself claimed Liverpool had been "bamboozled" by Villa's tactics in their 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over the firm favourites at Wembley in April - this was to prove the high point of his short reign as he was sacked on Sunday after only 28 games. His dismissal proved the biggest story of the weekend, although Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp and Chelsea's Jose Mourinho also had their share of trouble. The 46-year-old was appointed on 14 February as successor to sacked Paul Lambert - accompanied by glowing references from the men who brought him in. Aston Villa chief executive Tom Fox said: "We strongly believe Tim has the qualities to get the best out of our current squad and help us build for the future." Owner Randy Lerner spoke about a new "fresh, positive approach" - it was an approach that did not last. It was certainly a rapid-fire decision - but Sherwood might feel justified in claiming his approach was not given the time, or the circumstances, to work. He achieved his prime objective last season, which was to keep Villa in the Premier League, while providing the added bonus of an FA Cup final, although they were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal at Wembley in May. It was not enough to buy Sherwood time when things went wrong. Media playback is not supported on this device Sherwood lost his two most influential players - captain Fabian Delph and main striker Christian Benteke - in the summer and was allowed to reinvest £55m - but mainly in young, unproven talent. There have been questions about Sherwood's working relationship with Villa's sporting director and transfer strategist Hendrik Almstadt and director of scouting and recruitment Paddy Reilly. Sherwood is believed to have wanted more experience in the shape of Aaron Lennon and Tom Cleverley, who both went to Everton, as well as Victor Moses and Esteban Cambiasso, the Argentine veteran who was such a revelation at Leicester City and ended up at Olympiakos. Net spend was only £7m and players such as £8m Jordan Veretout, a 22-year-old brought in from Nantes, have not looked fit for Premier League purpose, while big money was spent on £9m Idrissa Gueye from Lille and £10m Jordan Ayew from Lorient. Experience came with free transfers Micah Richards and Joleon Lescott. Young Villa midfield man Jack Grealish responded to news of Sherwood's sacking by tweeting: "Gutted. Thank you for everything." Sadly for Sherwood, six straight league defeats left Villa 19th - they had sunk to bottom by the end of Sunday - and made him a hostage to the impatience of Premier League owners, where futures are now becoming uncertain within weeks rather than years. The fear of missing out on the Premier League's rewards and riches means any hint of relegation can dramatically cut short a managerial lifespan - with Sherwood the latest victim. Touted as one of the bright breed of young British managers, with a brash, attacking approach that seemed to be quickly sucked out him by life at Villa, he now has a scar on his managerial career that was not entirely self-inflicted. He must rebuild his reputation after his brief and painful stay at Villa Park. He will hope for longer next time. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea woes continued with defeat at West Ham - their fifth loss of the season - compounded by chaos with the manager shown a red card for comments made to referee Jon Moss during the interval and assistant first-team coach Silvino Louro as well as midfield man Nemanja Matic also sent off. Results and this sort of indiscipline give off the air of a club in meltdown - with Mourinho refusing to speak to the media at Upton Park. It is hard to believe this is a manager and team that sailed smoothly to the title in May. Mourinho is now in the alien territory of the lower reaches of the league and for the first time in his career having to prove he can turn a serious slide around. Mourinho cuts a troubled, tormented figure but there is still no suggestion owner Roman Abramovich is starting to display the impatience and discontent that has seen off previous managers, including 'The Special One' himself in 2007. He has never before faced this sort of crisis and is confronted with a completely different test of the managerial skills that have brought him so much success. Media playback is not supported on this device The near-hysteria that greeted Jurgen Klopp's arrival at Liverpool has now been tempered by the reality of results, namely three draws in eight days. It looked like the German was on course for his first win against Southampton but Sadio Mane's late equaliser kept him waiting. In Klopp's defence, he has been realistic from the start. This was never going to be a quick fix and the 48-year-old was never going to imprint his methods instantly. Klopp's record at Borussia Dortmund proved his outstanding ability - what was on offer at Anfield on Sunday was only further evidence of what brought him to the club in the first place. Time for the expectation levels to be turned down to realistic. The Manchester derby, the Wear-Tyne derby, Klopp's first Premier League game at Anfield - storylines that seemed sure to produce drama. Instead the meeting between Manchester United and Manchester City was a dismal, goalless anti-climax and Klopp's big day ended in the disappointment of conceding that late goal against Southampton. The derby at the Stadium of Light did serve up the controversy of Fabricio Coloccini being sent off for Newcastle as Sunderland won 3-0 - but in terms of action the big day was something of a let-down. The assaults took place over a two-year period when Michael Chase, 52, and wife Lara, 46, of Bathurst, Peterborough, were babysitting the girl. Chase admitted the charges last year. His wife was found guilty this week. Chase was given 14 years and his wife 13 years by Judge Sean Enright. Peterborough Crown Court heard the couple sexually assaulted and took images of the girl while babysitting her between October 2012 and December 2014. She was 13 months old when the abuse began. More on this and other stories from Cambridgeshire They were "every parent's worst nightmare", Det Con Lloyd Metselaar, from Cambridgeshire Police, said. "The appalling acts committed together by both Michael and Lara on such a young child who had been entrusted into their care, demonstrate the most serious breach of trust." Michael Chase pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two counts of sexually assaulting a child under 13; four of taking indecent photographs of a child; three of possessing indecent photographs of a child; possessing a prohibited image of a child; possessing an extreme pornographic image and making 4,524 indecent photographs of children. Lara Chase pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexually assaulting a child under 13 and one count of distributing indecent photographs of a child, but was found guilty following a trial on 7 March. During the trial she claimed she was unaware of her husband's paedophilia but a jury convicted her after hearing Chase had "assisted" her husband in the abuse. Across all 33 boroughs in the capital, 59.9% (2.26 million) voted in favour of remaining in the EU. In some areas, the remain vote was more than 70%. Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Sutton, Havering and Hillingdon were the only areas to support Brexit. Mayor Sadiq Khan said he had no doubt London would "continue to be the successful city" but called for the UK to remain part of the single market. "Leaving the single market of 500m people - with its free-trade benefits - would be a mistake", London's leader said.

But political editor Tim Donovan said the national trend had ultimately rendered the capital "irrelevant". Get the results in full. BBC Radio London political reporter Susana Mendonca said the mood of Remain campaigners at London's Guildhall was lifted when the first boroughs announced their results. But as the national picture emerged, it was members of the Leave camp who were more "chipper", she said. The change in mood was reflected elsewhere in the capital. Earlier, at the Barking and Dagenham count, where 62% voted to leave, UKIP's Peter Harris said he was "massively more confident" than at the beginning of the evening. "We've smashed it," he said. But council leader, Darren Rodwell, who supported remain, said the borough was experiencing a massive change in demographics and population flow and in five years time he said the same question would produce a very different result. Voter turnout was 69.8%, despite torrential rain and flooding in parts of the city. The was the highest since the 1950 general election when more than 80% voted. The breakdown of results saw: Analysis by BBC London Political Editor Tim Donovan London has found itself very much at odds with much of the country. Big wins for Remain in inner London boroughs did not to give Remain the kind of momentum it needed to make a difference in the result nationally. The final result is something approximating to 60% favouring remain, 40% for leave and of course it raises interesting questions about the capital's relationship with the rest of the country. The key thing for London is that it has bucked the national trend; it will be seen increasingly in terms of its difference with the rest of the country. And for some it is not just an academic question, it is a question about whether London needs more powers and control of its own finances. Would Brexit prompt London to go it alone? In Bexley 63% backed Brexit, while in Sutton leave won with 54%. In Hillingdon 74,982 voted for leave and Havering concurred with the view with 96,885 votes. Earlier, the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said experts predicted nearly 1.9 million people in inner London areas were likely to vote Remain, while Leave campaigners expected favourable results in outer London. "London is an island, compared to the rest of the country where the Leave campaign is gaining ground," she added. Biggest support for Remain Biggest support for Leave It ruled that terminations are justified after rape, if the mother's life is at risk or if the foetus is not expected to survive the pregnancy. The law was approved after two years' debate in the Chilean Congress but had been challenged by conservatives. Chile had been one of seven Roman Catholic countries with an abortion ban in all circumstances. They are Chile, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Malta, The Vatican and Dominican Republic. The current law in Chile was put in place during the military government of Augusto Pinochet. Chile abortion bill: 'My pregnancy was torture' News of the judges' ruling by 6-4 led to celebrations among left-of-centre and centrist parties in central Santiago. It was also welcomed by women's and rights groups. The court heard the arguments of more than 130 concerned organisations before making its ruling, which removes the last major hurdle for the bill to become law. Chile legalised abortion for medical reasons in 1931 but it was banned totally in 1989 under Gen Pinochet. Lawmakers have since 1991 introduced dozens of bills to ease the restrictions, but all were blocked by right-of-centre parties and the church. The cause of the reformers was boosted in 2013 with the election of President Michele Bachelet, a keen supporter of a woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. The move to ease abortion restrictions is seen as her swansong as she leaves office. BBC Latin America analyst Candace Piette says that the ruling is a watermark for reproductive rights in the four countries of Latin America which have a blanket abortion ban. Even though an estimated 70% of Chileans are in favour of lessening the restrictions, abortion remains deeply controversial. Under existing legislation, both doctor or patient can face up to five years in prison. In the four years up to 2014, 73 people were jailed. Recently the courts have tended to order therapy for women instead of prison. Despite the risks, reproductive rights organisations say up to 70,000 illegal abortions take place every year in Chile. One of the most common methods is taking a pill intended to treat ulcers or by obtaining pills on the online black market. The suspect shot and killed his estranged wife, a teacher, and wounded two children who were behind her, one of whom died of his wounds. He then turned the gun on himself, police said. Police chief Jarrod Burguan described the incident as a suspected "murder-suicide" attempt. The shooting happened at 10:30 local time (17:30 GMT) at North Park Elementary School in San Bernardino county, 60 miles (96km) east of Los Angeles. The gunman, named as 53-year-old Cedric Anderson, had gained entry to the school as a visitor and kept his weapon concealed until he opened fire in the classroom where 15 children with special needs were being taught, authorities said. He killed his wife Karen Elaine Smith and fatally wounded eight-year-old Jonathan Martinez, who was airlifted to hospital but later died. A nine-year-old pupil remains in hospital in a stable condition, the Los Angeles Times reported. Mr Burguan tweeted shortly after the incident that the suspect was "down" and there was "no further threat". The school was immediately evacuated. Up to 600 students were transferred by bus to nearby Cajon High School, where they were later met by their parents. "Police operations are continuing to secure the area," Mr Burguan said earlier on Twitter, adding: "However, we do believe the threat is down." In December 2015, 14 people were killed and 21 others wounded when a couple entered a disabled service centre in San Bernardino and began firing at a group of county health workers. They targeted a makeshift camp for displaced Syrians and Iraqi refugees at Rajm al-Salibi, near the town of Shaddadi in Hassakeh province. The militants also clashed with members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) stationed at a nearby checkpoint. IS said the attack was one of several targeting "apostates" around Shaddadi. The jihadist group is coming under mounting pressure in northern Syria from the SDF's Kurdish and Arab fighters, who are supported by the US, and from pro-government forces in neighbouring Iraq. The SDF has driven IS militants out of much of Hassakeh and is close to taking control of the strategically important Euphrates River Valley town of Tabqa. It will soon launch an offensive to retake the city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the "caliphate" proclaimed by IS after the fall of the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, reports that at least five IS suicide bombers blew themselves up outside and inside the camp at Rajm al-Salibi, east of Shaddadi, at dawn on Tuesday. At least 38 people were killed by the bombings and subsequent clashes, among them 23 civilians, and 30 other people were wounded, it adds. According to Syria's official Sana news agency, more than 30 civilians were killed and 34 wounded. It did not say whether there had been any suicide bombings. The Kurdish Red Crescent put the civilian death toll at 22. SDF fighters took wounded civilians to hospitals in the city of Hassakeh. Several were admitted to intensive care due to the severity of their injuries, according to medical sources cited by Sana. An IS statement said six groups of militants had attacked SDF positions in Shaddadi and its surrounding area on Tuesday, including a "barracks" near Rajm al-Salibi, killing and wounding dozens of people. An Iraqi army source told the BBC the militants had also abducted dozens of civilians during the attack on the camp. It was not possible to verify the report. However, a similar allegation was made by the head of the Iraqi parliament's human rights committee in an interview with Beirut-based al-Mayadeen TV and Sana cited some of those injured as saying they had lost contact with dozens of their relatives. About 300 families were waiting at Rajm al-Salibi - where conditions are harsh and there is little shelter - to be screened and allowed to enter SDF territory. They included Syrians from Raqqa and Deir al-Zour provinces, as well as some of the thousands of Iraqis who have fled to Syria from Mosul since October. As a result of the attack, approximately 400 people are being relocated from Rajm al-Salibi to another camp at al-Hawl. Findern Primary School in Derbyshire has been trialling the idea there are benefits to children's learning when in a "shoeless" environment. Professor Stephen Heppell from Bournemouth University said he found children behaved better without shoes. Findern head teacher Emma Tichener said the pupils have been "more relaxed". Prof Heppell researched the topic for more than 10 years in 25 countries. Shoeless learning has been carried out in schools in Scandinavia and New Zealand and learning centres in other countries. Mrs Tichener said: "We are noticing that the children seem more relaxed and calmer than usual," she said. "We hope that in time we can measure their progress and see if it has made a difference in their achievements. "We are looking for different ideas to improve the experience for our students so if this works then it might become a more permanent." Mrs Titchener added that the approach was "only about enhancing" the pupils learning and "not a compulsory part" of the school's uniform policy. Source: Professor Stephen Heppell's blog West Thornton Primary Academy, in Croydon, Surrey has several shoeless zones around the school. Teacher Ayla Arli said the children "felt more comfortable so results went up". "We've definitely seen a change in behaviour," she said. "Behaviour is much calmer in the learning zones, the noise levels have gone down. "It was their idea, they had to present the data back to us to prove that this is not just a gimmick, this actually has an impact on learning." The 32-year-old Oman international has only made one appearance for the Latics this season, in the League Cup defeat by Burton in August. "With David Stockdale currently being injured, we felt it was important to bring in another experienced keeper," Brighton boss Sami Hyypia said. "Ali certainly fits into this category as someone who has played at the top level for both Bolton and Wigan." Brighton number one Stockdale missed his side's League Cup defeat by Tottenham on Wednesday with a finger injury. Teenager Christian Walton deputised for the former Fulham man, making his senior debut for the Sussex club. Al-Habsi made 28 appearances for Wigan last season but has been second in the pecking order behind Scott Carson this season. "Last year he was fantastic but I made a decision this year to go with Scott," Wigan manager Uwe Rosler told BBC Radio Manchester. "Ali has been absolutely professional. "He is in my thoughts and in my plans but with such a class goalkeeper, at some point you have to give him games. "I know his contract runs out at the end of the season and at some point we need to make a decision on that. "We loan him initially for a month and after that we see where we are and how Ali feels. "It is a gesture from us to support Ali because he has supported us and to give him competitive games." Al-Habsi could make his debut for the Seagulls against Bournemouth on Saturday but he is ineligible to face his parent club at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday. Crews from Foyers, Inverness, Beauly and Dingwall tackled the fire at the property near Foyers on 23 December. Flames from the blaze were visible from the other side of the loch.

Benitez spent over £50m last summer after relegation, but Shearer says there is a risk of losing the Spaniard if he is not backed financially. "I would think giving him transfer funds would be key to keeping hold of him," said the Magpies' record scorer. Newcastle secured promotion with a 4-1 home win over Preston on Monday. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, former England captain Shearer added: "He's a huge figure at the club. He loves the place and the passion of fans - and it's hugely important Newcastle keep hold of him. "I'm sure he will demand the team has to be improved and will demand a few quid to do that. "You can't stand still. You can't be loyal and give all the players that have got the team promoted a chance. You've got to go out and buy new players. "People realise the team needs improving to get to where they want to be and that's got to be the top half of the Premier League. "Now it's about where Newcastle want to be - do they want to get up to the Premier League and be in the bottom three or four fighting against relegation, or do they want to have a go at it? I'm pretty sure I know what Rafa will want to do." Former Newcastle winger Chris Waddle echoed Shearer's view and believes Benitez will be in demand. "The fans love Rafa - obviously - but I think Rafa will have a lot of tasty offers on the table from around Europe," Waddled told BBC Radio 5 live. "If he doesn't get the reassurances he needs to strengthen his team - and I mean strengthen it - he's probably going to be looking elsewhere. "I know fans will not want to hear that but he'll not want to be in a relegation battle next year." Benitez was appointed by Newcastle in March 2016 but could not save them from relegation to the Championship. He had a break clause in his contract allowing him to leave if the Magpies went down, but instead the former Liverpool and Chelsea boss opted to sign a new three-year deal. One of the most expensive squads in Championship history was assembled last summer, mainly using funds generated from the sales of Moussa Sissoko, Georginio Wijnaldum, Andros Townsend and other high-profile departures. Monday's victory over North End secured an immediate return to the top flight with two games to spare and ex-Newcastle keeper Steve Harper hopes the Magpies hierarchy give Benitez £60m to strengthen. "He generated a £30m profit last year and you'd like to think they might give him double that," Harper told BBC Radio 5 live. "Matt Ritchie and Jonjo Shelvey have had excellent seasons but I think every single Newcastle fan would want to see another five or six definite starting line-up Premier League players arrive so, when they go back, they're set up to compete. Nobody will know that better than Rafa Benitez. He's united the fans again with his honesty and his integrity. "He knows his stock is high. He's in a very strong position so he can ask the serious questions now and, hopefully, they do back him." Against Preston, Christian Atsu put the Magpies 2-1 up at half-time after Jordan Hugill had cancelled out an Ayoze Perez opener. On a tense evening at St James' Park, Newcastle nerves were settled when Preston's Paul Gallagher was sent off for handling on the line and Ritchie scored the resulting penalty. Perez got his second from close range to send Newcastle up with Brighton. Former Newcastle coach Steve Stone also believes the squad needs strengthening again at the end of the season. "They still need an awful lot of new players before next season," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "Fans realise they're not going to win the Premier League next season and they will struggle to get into the top 10. They need to get a foothold in the Premier League first, otherwise they will become a yo-yo club. "It's been a long time since Newcastle were battling at the top of the Premier League. They finished fifth under Alan Pardew the season I was there (2011-12), but they haven't been up there on a consistent basis since Bobby Robson left (in 2004). "Now is the time to buy and build, and make sure club doesn't have to play in this division ever again." Former Nottingham Forest and England midfielder Stone added: "The fans absolutely adore Rafa Benitez and they have from the start. They chanted his name throughout the game. "But he knows now that he needs money and it will be interesting to see if they give him the money he deserves. "Everywhere Rafa goes, he gets a massive reception. Newcastle were lucky to get him - they needed him more than he needed Newcastle. "Since getting here he has realised what it's all about and he's bought into it." Three reporters from Shenzhen Evening News are accused of dressing as doctor's assistants to sneak into the temporary operating theatre. Beina, who made her name in The Voice of China in 2013, died from breast cancer aged 33 on Friday. The paper said all photos were deleted after complaints from her family. "We sincerely apologise for the disturbance and discomfort we have caused to Yao's family, fans and net users," the Shenzhen Evening News published on popular Chinese social media site Sina Weibo. According to CNN, the incident came to light when a now widely-shared post was published on Sina Weibo by microblogger Entertainment Whistleblower. The post claimed three journalists had disguised themselves as medical workers to sneak into the morgue and take photographs of the late singer's body. The paper admitted its reporters were in the room "without permission". However Chinese newspaper Global Times claimed the reporters had been forgiven by Beina's father. The event quickly sparked an online debate in China about journalism ethics, with Beina's manager Bo Ying accusing the paper of "having low morals". One online comment called the reporters "vultures" adding: "They waited for Yao to die." The paper caused more problems on Saturday when it put the singer's picture on the front page and said a fund in her name would be set up to help patients of eye disease. However they were forced to withdraw the fund after the singer's company said it had never approved the project and was considering legal action against the paper. "We demand that the Shenzhen Evening News and people responsible be punished," the company said. Beina was well known for recording Let It Go in Mandarin for the Chinese version of Disney blockbuster Frozen. She had her left breast removed in 2011 after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but the cancer returned recently. Her illness and death were both big news in the country and her decision to donate her corneas has led to two people regaining their sight. The 23-year-old was last seen in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September. Suffolk Constabulary ended a 20-week search of the Milton landfill site on 21 July. Bones found at an incinerator plant are being examined but investigators said it was more likely his remains were in the landfill. On Tuesday, officers searching the site at Great Blakenham said they had discovered some material that required "further examination" to establish whether there were any links to the missing airman. The tortuous search for Corrie Mckeague A force spokesman said: "The investigation has established that some of the waste collected from Bury St Edmunds is taken to Red Lodge transfer station and from there to Great Blakenham for incineration. "The strongest likelihood is that Corrie, or anything to connected to him, would be in the waste that was taken to the landfill at Milton, rather than in the incinerated waste, and this was the priority for the investigation. "However, having not located Corrie thus far in the landfill site then a search of this incinerated material was required." Mr Mckeague, from Fife, was last seen entering a bin loading bay in the Suffolk town. Police said he was known to "sleep in rubbish on a night out" - a claim disputed by Mr Mckeague's family. The 10m (32ft) wide and 5m (16ft) deep crater formed outside the family home of Sarah Jenkins, in Upper Basildon, near Reading. Ms Jenkins said: "It's massive and it's getting bigger all the time." Consultant engineer Dr Clive Edmonds described it as "one of the larger of the hole sizes to appear". The hole first appeared on 5 December but is continuing to grow. Ms Jenkins added: "The only access to our property has been across our neighbour's garden. "It's taken out quite a bit of the driveway and garden and it's sitting underneath my children's climbing frame, so it's very serious. "It's dangerous. Living with this is absolutely dreadful." The house sits on top of an old brick factory, which was active in the 19th Century. It is thought tunnels may run under the street at 16m (52ft) beneath ground level. Dr Edmonds, a partner at Peter Brett Associates which is investigating the case, said this meant the pit should be more accurately described as a crown hole, rather than a sink hole. "That's when a collapse is due to manmade tunnels in the ground beneath rather than naturally formed," he said. "Size-wise it's as large as any that are recorded on the chalk in southern and eastern England. "It's definitely had an impact as it's in close proximity to the property." Ms Jenkins said John Lewis Insurance had yet to make a decision on her claim, but she was hoping for an answer before Christmas. The company turned down a previous claim in February, when a smaller hole appeared in the driveway in which her car became stuck. "The expense is crippling and this new hole is unbelievable," she added. John Brady, head of commercial at John Lewis Insurance, said: "This is an ongoing investigation that we are taking very seriously and treating as a matter of urgency. "However, until we have a final decision from our risk assessors, we are unable to comment further." It was announced at the end of last month that all current accounts with the Norwich and Peterborough building society will be closed by the end of August. The brand will also be abolished, and some branches closed. The society's parent mutual said customers would be helped to switch. Owners Yorkshire Building Society (YBS), the UK's second largest mutual, said it would close 28 N&P branches this year. The others will be rebranded as YBS branches. Customers who want to continue operating a current account will have to find a new bank or building society. Mike Regnier, chief executive of YBS, told BBC Radio 4's Money Box that it was a "real shame" that the accounts had to close. He said that too much investment would be required to keep the current accounts compliant with regulation if offered by the mutual. Instead it is to concentrate on savings and mortgage products. He said that the society was working with High Street banks to assist people as they switched accounts, even though the building society is not part of the official current account switching service. Customers with overdrafts would be able to find a home with a selection of banks, he added. Regarding branch closures, he said that a regional building society was not immune to the advance of digital banking. The branches being closed in the society's latest round of shut downs had an average of seven customers a day, he said. They were cheered by 500,000 well-wishers who gathered outside the palace, as RAF planes flew past in honour of the new royal couple. In the evening the pair returned to the Palace for a dinner and dance, expected to continue into the early hours. The couple will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Police estimate a million people lined the procession route from the abbey to the palace following the wedding. Prince William later drove his new bride back to Clarence House, following a buffet reception at Buckingham Palace, at the wheel of his father's classic blue Aston Martin, before returning to the palace in the evening. The vehicle was decked in ribbons and balloons with "Just Wed" on the number plate. The church service, watched by 1,900 guests, ran smoothly but the prince did struggle to place the wedding ring on the duchess's finger. Following a long tradition, the ring has been fashioned from Welsh gold given to Prince William by the Queen. After the couple said their vows - in which the bride did not promise to obey her husband - the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Dr Rowan Williams, declared: "I pronounce that they be man and wife together, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." They spent a private moment together with their families, as they signed the marriage register. Prince William has been given the title of the Duke of Cambridge by the Queen, and Miss Middleton has become Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge on their marriage. The duchess, who managed to keep her wedding dress a secret, wore an ivory and lace gown by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. The prince wore the red tunic of an Irish Guards colonel - his most senior honorary appointment. By Sarah BellBBC News, in central London The excitement, which had been building throughout the morning, peaked at about 1330 BST when the prince kissed his new bride. The crowd, decked in union jacks, tiaras, and fascinators, reacted with deafening cheers and demands for more. Much neck-craning was required for the best view of the spectacle, which was obscured by a sea of cameras, periscopes and flags. Some people had tears in their eyes as they watched the fly-past, with "amazing" a common response when asked about the day's events. As one American spectator put it, "No-one does pageantry like the British - you can't help being infected by the energy and emotion." Follow Peter Hunt on Twitter Views on the dress Royal wedding: Where were you? Among the guests at Westminster Abbey were singer-songwriter Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish, former England rugby coach Sir Clive Woodward, and former England football captain David Beckham and his wife Victoria. Actor Rowan Atkinson, a close friend of Prince Charles, Prince Harry's friend Chelsy Davy and film director Guy Ritchie were also there. UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha, Australian prime minister Julia Gillard and former British PM Sir John Major were among the politicians present. For those lining the route, large speakers broadcast the wedding service, and hundreds of millions of people were estimated to watch the proceedings worldwide on television. Royal officials said the couple were involved in planning their wedding day, from the music at the ceremony to the flowers and the cake. Tears and tiaras in the crowd Inside Westminster Abbey, an avenue of trees lined the red carpet leading up to the altar. The bride walked up the aisle to coronation anthem I Was Glad, by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, from Psalm 122. Her brother James Middleton gave the Lesson, reading Romans 12: 1-2, 9-18. Classical compositions by Elgar, Britten and Vaughan Williams featured during the ceremony, alongside the hymn Jerusalem and the English melody Greensleeves. A canape reception was held for 650 guests at Buckingham Palace in the afternoon. Later, about 300 close friends and relatives were invited to a dinner and disco, hosted by Prince Charles. The couple changed outfits for the event - Prince William was in black tie while his bride wore a strapless white satin gazar evening gown with diamante embroidered detail round the waist, by the same designer, Sarah Burton. But the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh left for a weekend away after hosting the lunchtime reception. They will miss Prince Harry's best man speech and Michael Middleton's father of the bride address. Despite predictions of showers, the weather stayed dry for the royal couple. Temperatures in London reached around 18C (64.4F) at 2pm. The £842m facility, formerly known as the South Glasgow University Hospital, started taking patients in April. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the hospital and the next-door Royal Hospital for Sick Children during a day in Glasgow. The 1,109-bed facility was built on the site of Southern General is one of the largest acute hospitals in the UK. The new campus, which has been dubbed a "super-hospital", replaces the Royal Hospital for Sick Kids at Yorkhill, the Southern General Hospital, the Western and Victoria infirmaries and the Mansionhouse Unit. Operated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, it incorporates two accident and emergency departments, one for adults and one for children, a maternity hospital, and state-of-the-art laboratory services. During their visit to Glasgow, the Queen and Prince Philip also attended the opening of a new research unit at Strathclyde University, where they took part in a minute's silence for the victims of the Tunisia shootings. They then attended the official openings of the two hospitals, which were formally named the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. The royals were greeted by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Health Minister Shona Robison, before embarking on a tour of the wards where they met patients and staff. Batsman Duckett, 21, is also nominated for PCA Young Player of the Year, with the awards given for performances in the County Championship this season. There are three Women's Player of the Summer nominations - Tammy Beaumont, Natalie Sciver and Lauren Winfield. The awards dinner is on 29 September. Kent's Daniel Bell-Drummond, Surrey's Sam Curran and Lancashire's Haseeb Hameed have also been put forward for the young player award. Duckett, who has been named in England's winter tour squad for Bangladesh, has made 1,338 runs in Division Two this summer, including two double centuries. South Africa-born opening batsman Jennings, 24, who has been included in the England Lions' winter programme, is the County Championship's leading run-scorer with 1,522 runs in Division One, having hit seven centuries. New Zealand international spinner Patel, 36, is the leading Championship wicket-taker with 66 Division One victims. Perennial one-day matchwinner Napier, 36, is set to retire and has enjoyed a fine final Championship season, taking 63 wickets and making 298 runs to help Essex win promotion as Division Two champions. Chief constable Ian Hopkins told BBC Radio Manchester the bomber was arrested for minor offences in 2012. Prevent aims to deradicalise young people or prevent others from being radicalised. MI5 has launched an inquiry into how it dealt with warnings from the public about Abedi. Two people who knew Abedi while he was a college student made separate calls to an anti-terrorism hotline to warn police about his extremist views. Mr Hopkins said: "At this stage I have no other information other than what is on our system about his theft, receiving stolen goods, minor assault... Five years ago, so he would have been 16/17." "Abedi was not known to the Prevent programme, was not on any sort of Prevent agenda," he said. He added the force would continue to check previous records but said: "Obviously I am not privy to what the security service did or didn't know about that individual at this time." Over the next three days, military personnel deployed under Operation Temperer will be stood down after the UK terror threat level was downgraded to severe. British troops who have been guarding key locations including Buckingham Palace in the days after the attack will be removed. Meanwhile, Manchester Victoria railway station reopened on Tuesday more than a week after the attack at the city's arena. The station, attached to Manchester Arena, was shut after the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert, which left 22 people dead and dozens injured. Staff were visibly upset when they returned to work, with 15 of them among those first on the scene. They were joined by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to lay wreaths. Mr Burnham told the BBC: "People went above and beyond what you would expect. Those who rushed into the danger were station staff. "In these moments, you do see the best of people, you see the best of our public services and it is quite awe-inspiring to hear that." By Michelle Adamson, BBC Manchester reporter at Victoria station There is a sombre atmosphere among commuters as Victoria station reopens. The heartache is still raw following the Arena attack and some commuters are in tears as they attempt to get back to their normal routines. People have been emotional but what unites them all is a steely defiance to carry on. Commuter Hannah Khan, 32, said: "I just want to hold my hands out and hug everyone." Black cab driver George Berry, 60, from Bury, is back on the taxi rank at Victoria Station. He said he had "mixed feelings but I'm glad to be back at work". He said the lives of those not directly affected by the attacks would be returning to normal. "They won't forget, but you have to make a living." Hamilton, 22, has been the Edinburgh club's first choice goalkeeper this season, having made his debut in August 2014. Defender Souttar, 20, was signed from Dundee United on a three-and-a-half year contract in February 2016. Currie, 19, made his Premiership debut in November and has scored once in nine appearances. "This is positive news and shows that this club continues doing what it has always done, in committing to and excelling in the development of young Scottish players," head coach Ian Cathro told the club website. "These are three players who are at different stages of their development but have all had a positive impact at first-team level. "Our priority is to always work to improve the squad, we will work collectively across all number of markets to try and do this, however as this club has shown many times before - it's commitment to and focus on the development of its own players - and of young Scottish players - will always be of the greatest importance." The 22-year-old Croat defender's move fell through late on deadline day. "It is not true that I have not passed [a] medical," he said on Twitter. "Everything was perfect, I am completely healthy and fit. Transfer was not realised because Torino at the last minute wanted to change the initial agreement with Celtic." Simunovic joined Celtic from Dinamo Zagreb exactly a year ago but made the last of his 18 appearances in January, when he suffered a knee injury against St Johnstone. Some reports claimed that Torino had reservations following medical checks after Simunovic travelled to Italy. But the player refuted those accounts and said he was speaking out because, "most important of all", he wanted to stress that he remains committed to Celtic. He must now fight for his place in Brendan Rodgers' side with fellow central defenders Kolo Toure, Eoghan O'Connell, Erik Sviatchenko and Efe Ambrose. "I prefer to talk only on the field, but this time I want to say something to the Celtic fans who have always supported me and as a player it means a lot to me," said Simunovic. "My head is in Celtic and I am 100% focused on the field and the challenges ahead. "I am fit, I train with the team and, of course, the coach decides when I will start to play. "And, when I start, I can promise one thing. I'm going to give more than maximum for Celtic. "Behind me is 'turbulent' period, starting from injury until transfer to Turin." Celtic's only deadline-day business was to loan right-back Saidy Janko to Barnsley for the season. Simunovic's fellow central defender, Ambrose, rejected a transfer to Belgian top-flight club Standard Liege after a fee was agreed between the clubs. WBA world super bantamweight champion Rigondeaux, 35, boxes in the UK for the first time as he defends his title against Liverpool's Jazza Dickens. He is widely considered to be one of the world's top pound-for-pound boxers. "I know you guys are great boxing fans and I am ready to go for you," Rigondeaux told BBC Wales Sport. Rigondeaux is undefeated in 16 bouts as a professional and recorded 475 victories in 487 contests as an amateur. The Cuba-born fighter won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and in 2004 in Athens. He co-headlines a bill featuring WBO world lightweight champion Terry Flanagan's defence against former IBF world champion Mzonke Fana. British and Commonwealth super welterweight champion Liam Williams, from Clydach Vale, also defends his titles against Gary Corcoran in front of his hometown fans. Rigondeaux's coach Pedro Diaz, who also trained the now Miami-based boxer in his amateur career, says his fighter could well be the best in the world. "If he is not the best he is the most complete," Diaz told BBC Wales Sport. "It is difficult to speak about who is the best, there are a lot of good boxers. "For us, he is in a class of his own, he is an extraordinary boxer. He is the only champion to only fight boxers with winning records." On 21 May, she stood on top of the world, defying all conceivable odds, and achieved what was unthinkable to many. "I turned my artificial leg into my strength and stubbornly chose the most difficult sport for myself," says Ms Sinha, a former national-level volleyball player. There are inspiring words from an extraordinary woman. Also, a stunning demonstration of how she turned her supposed weakness into a winning force. "When I reached the summit, I felt like screaming at the top of my voice. I wanted to tell the world: here I am. I have saved that moment inside me," she says. "Actually, my screaming did not last long. You see, I didn't have much energy left. Had I been a painter, I would have tried to capture that image on a canvas," she adds. Just two years ago, Ms Sinha says it was her "darkest hour". Her life changed when she was "pushed out of the train" after she refused to hand over her gold chain to robbers. Police disputed her version - they said she was either attempting suicide or had jumped out to evade arrest for travelling without a valid ticket. The fate of the case is unknown. Ms Sinha was admitted to hospital with serious leg and pelvic injuries. Doctors had to amputate her left leg below the knee to save her life. A rod had to be inserted inside her leg to provide support to the damaged limb. "I was shattered. Here was someone who was totally independent, and now I was dependent on others for support. Visitors who came to see me at the hospital showed sympathy. But then I decided to do something that would inspire others." She says her family's support gave her immense confidence. "I decided to challenge myself with the toughest sport. And I chased my dream with passion." Equipped with a prosthetic leg and an iron will, Ms Sinha rang up Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest in 1984, as soon as the hospital discharged her four months later. She had read about Pal but did not know her personally. Pal heads an adventure foundation, supported by India's Tata Steel company, in the city of Jamshedpur in the eastern state of Jharkhand. Sinha underwent a year of rigorous training in Uttarkashi in the northern state of Uttarakhand which demanded toughness - both physical and mental. "I felt low when I couldn't catch up with other 'normal' able-bodied people. But I was determined to outpace them. And I did," she says. It took her 52 days of torturous climbing on the snowy peaks to conquer the 8,850m (29,000 ft) summit. At one point, fearing that her energy and oxygen levels were depleting fast, her team leader suggested that she return. But she refused. While descending, she began to sweat so profusely that at one point she felt the prosthetic leg would slip out. "I couldn't take off my gloves to support the leg for fear of frostbite, so I dragged myself till the camp," she says. Ms Sinha has dedicated her achievement "to those who lose hope". She is now busy with plans to open a sports academy for the poor and physically challenged children. For this purpose, she has already bought a piece of land in Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh. "I want to train these children so that they achieve their dream. This is my dream too," she says. B Ramalinga Raju, who founded the software services giant, denied charges of conspiracy, cheating and forgery but admitted to accounting malpractices. Raju was also fined $800,000. The collapse of Satyam Computers in 2009 cost shareholders more than $2bn and rocked India's IT industry. The BBC's Simon Atkinson in Mumbai says it is the biggest fraud at a listed company in India. The convicted men are expected to appeal. The maximum sentence Raju faced was life in jail. Analysis: Theo Leggett, BBC News It's often described as India's Enron - and certainly the fraud at Satyam had much in common with the scandal that brought down the US energy giant in 2001. In both cases, the men in the boardroom systematically inflated profits in order to make their companies appear much healthier than they actually were. Enron executives also concealed substantial debts. Both affairs, when they came to light, caused widespread shock and undermined confidence in the corporate sector. But the consequences of the Enron scandal were much greater. It caused the company to collapse. 20,000 employees lost their livelihoods and shareholders lost more than $70bn. In the case of Satyam, the Indian government intervened to keep the company operating and engineered a takeover by the Mahindra Group. Shareholders still lost money, but the wider fallout from the scandal was much more limited. Satyam was one of the biggest players in the booming Indian software market. The jobs of 50,000 Satyam workers were only saved after the government intervened. Another Indian firm, Tech Mahindra, bought a controlling stake in the company in April 2009. "All the accused have been convicted of almost all charges," prosecutor K Surender told reporters outside court, Those convicted include two brothers of Raju. Scandal timeline The scandal emerged in January 2009 when Mr Raju, one of the pioneers in the Indian IT industry and Satyam's founder and then chairman, confessed to manipulating his company's accounts and inflating profits over many years to the tune of about $1.15bn. In a letter to the board he claimed he had fudged the numbers in order to be in the top four of the Indian IT industry. "The concern was that poor performance would result in a takeover," he told shareholders. "It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten." Prosecutors say that when the scam unravelled, it cost shareholders $2.3bn at today's rates. The scam had been going on for nine years and the confession sent shockwaves across the industry. Court papers filed by India's stock market regulator said that Mr Raju along with 13 other friends and family made about $400m in illegal wealth in the scam - by cashing in on a surging share price - offloading stakes in the company at a high price and making substantial profits despite knowing that accounts were overstated. Raju was arrested in January 2009 and jailed before being bailed two years later. He also spent nearly a year in hospital being treated for hepatitis. Satyam had been one of the biggest players in the booming Indian IT software market, supplying back-office services to firms from around the world, including General Electric and Qantas Airways. Sir Paul joins the likes of Bob Dylan and Sir Paul McCartney in becoming an officer of the Légion d'honneur, or Legion of Honour. French Ambassador to the UK, Sylvie Bermann, presented him with a medal at a ceremony in London. The Nottingham-born designer said he was "thrilled". "It feels very special because I've had a strong relationship with Paris especially, but with France for about 40 years now," he said in a video on the Embassy of France in the UK YouTube channel: "I've had 80 fashion shows in Paris and I've got five shops so to have this honour is really lovely, very special." The designer's first shop, which opened in Nottingham in 1970, had a French name "Vêtements pour Hommes", meaning men's clothes. Mr Smith held his first fashion show in Paris in 1976 and has shown each new collection in the capital since then. Sylvie Bermann described him as a "revolutionary figure in British design" who had "left an indelible mark on French fashion". "I am thrilled that this uniquely talented man chose to make France a focal point for his creativity and entrepreneurship," she said. "He is an inspiration to a whole generation of young designers on both sides of the Channel." The Legion of Honour was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, and officer is the second highest of five ranks. The pictures were published by the team investigating the 1989 tragedy, in which 96 people died after a crush during an FA Cup game in Sheffield. In total, pictures of 100 people at the Liverpool v Nottingham semi-final match have been released in 10 appeals. Of those, 47 have been identified or have come forward. Images of those yet to be traced are available on the Operation Resolve website. New inquests into the disaster are being held in Warrington, Cheshire. Pwllheli and Barmouth stations in Gwynedd are each getting the charity's "most agile and manoeuvrable" Shannon class all-weather lifeboat at a total cost of £4.4m. New Quay station in Ceredigion will have its Mersey class all-weather lifeboat replaced with a much smaller inshore one, costing £214,000. The RNLI said the decision was the result of a five-year coast review. All three stations currently run Mersey class all-weather lifeboats, which are said to be "nearing the end of their operational life". The charity said the new lifeboats will allow volunteer crews to "respond quicker and travel further to help those in trouble at sea". Pwllheli and Barmouth will receive their new lifeboats once building work to modify their stations is complete, and the change at New Quay will happen in 2020.

The successor to Hubble, due for launch in 2018, is going to be put inside the giant thermal vacuum chamber where they tested the Apollo spaceships. For 90 days, JWST will get a thorough check-up in the same airless, frigid conditions that will have to be endured when it eventually gets into orbit. The telescope's aim will be to find the first stars to shine in the Universe. To achieve this goal, the observatory is being given an enormous mirror and instruments that are tuned to detect some of faintest objects on the sky. More than two decades in development, JWST is currently passing through the most critical phases on its construction timeline. Any major technical hiccups now would seriously derail its launch readiness. The past year has seen the assembly of the main telescope structure, with its 18 beryllium-gold mirror segments, at the US space agency's (Nasa) Goddard centre in Greenbelt, Maryland. Attached to this structure are Webb's four observing instruments, which sit inside a cage on the rear of the big reflector. The whole edifice has just gone through vibration and acoustic testing at Goddard. This has simulated the shaking and the roar of the carrier rocket. This will be an Ariane 5 provided by project partner, the European Space Agency. One vibration run had to be stopped early when unexpected accelerations were detected in the region of the telescope's secondary mirror, but the analysis concluded it was not an issue of significant concern. So far, so good. Now, JWST must fly to Nasa's Johnson centre at the end of April, or perhaps the beginning of May. There, it will enter the famous Chamber A. This is the largest testing facility of its kind in the world, and the only one capable of housing an orbiting telescope on JWST's scale. Engineers want to know that Webb's mirrors and instruments will function in unison when they are sitting out in space. The chamber will provide important evidence of that by going super-cold (it can go as low as minus 260 Celsius). An artificial light source shone on to Webb will ensure everything lines up as it should. "When we are at temperature, we will unfold the mirrors and move them," explained JWST instrument systems engineer Begoña Vila. "On orbit, not only do they have to unfold, you have also to confirm the focus for the different instruments. "If you think about it, with those 18 segments we start with 18 different images of a star, and so we have to move all those images until we have a single one and it is in focus. It's that process that we have to practise," she told BBC News. This work should complete in the autumn, but there will be no hiatus in the schedule. Webb will immediately go to Los Angeles to the aerospace company Northrop Grumman. It is in California where the final elements of the observatory are being put together. These are the satellite bus, which incorporates the computers, the power and propulsion systems, etc, needed to control Webb in space; and a tennis-court-sized sunshield. JWST will look at the cosmos in infrared light and so needs to be shaded from the glare and heat of the Sun. Bus and shield are in their end stages of assembly. Some final components still have to be attached, such as a boom that will deploy the shield once in space, but Northrop Grumman anticipates everything being in position to receive the telescope structure and instruments when they turn up for final integration. The finished observatory's journey from LA to the Ariane launch pad in Kourou, French Guiana, will be made by boat. This is earmarked to begin about six months before the currently slated November 2018 lift-off. "At this point we are in good shape," confirmed Eric Smith, JWST's programme director and programme scientist. "We have about five months of scheduled reserve. That's more than is typical for a programme at Nasa but we recognise that this programme is very large and so we know we need to have a little more. "It's amazing how fast everything is going at this point. But I keep telling people this is the part where you're going to keep finding problems because even though you've tested things all the way up, when you finally put it together some of those things behave just a little bit differently to how you were expecting. "It's exciting but, boy, it's moving fast," he told BBC News. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos

Engineers are getting ready to box up the James Webb Space Telescope and send it to Houston, Texas.

12 June 2015 Last updated at 08:29 BST 17-year-old Tom Wagg found the planet while doing work experience at Keele University two years ago, but it has taken scientists since then to prove its existence. Observations were carried out in Chile in South America, and at the universities of Geneva and Liege in Europe. The planet does not have a name yet and a competition has been launched to find one. Watch Hayley's report to find out more about Tom's incredible discovery. The 22-year-old, who came through the youth ranks at Adams Park, made 124 first-team league starts for Wycombe since making his debut in March 2013. "Matt is one for the future," said R's boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. "He's big, strong, level-headed, works hard and shows the right mentality. I think we have bought another good asset for the club." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The final edition of the Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser was due to be published this month. However, the CN Group has confirmed it will keep going into 2017 after talks with a potential new owner. It is hoped it can now be sold to a Langholm-based community interest company being formed for the purpose. CN Group said the agreement was "yet to be formalised" and was subject to adequate funding being established for the new venture. It was announced in November that the loss-making weekly title would close unless a new owner could be found. A deal has now been reached which could secure its longer-term future. Three staff at risk of redundancy have been asked to continue to produce the paper and its website. David Helliwell, editorial director for CN Group, said: "Our hope at the start of this process was that there would be interest in keeping the E&L alive. "It's been heartening to see the support for the newspaper and its staff and we will do all we can to see this potential sale through to a successful conclusion." Langholm businessman David Stevenson, who would be a director of the community company, said: "Cumbrian Newspapers have been very supportive of our interest and have agreed to continue publication while we raise the funds for this venture and consult the people of Eskdale and Liddesdale on the future format of their community newspaper." It is hoped the process of selling the title can be concluded by April. Audrey Swallow, 70, and son David, 48, died as a result of the blaze in Dunston, Lincolnshire, last August. The inquest at Lincoln Coroners' Court heard how caring for David had taken a toll on the family. The hearing concluded David's death was accidental and recorded an open conclusion in respect of Mrs Swallow. Coroner Paul Smith said he was unable to give a verdict of suicide as evidence showed she had attempted to get out and call for help. More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue told the inquest the most likely cause of the fire was an ignited naked flame held deliberately to a combustible material. Mrs Swallow is said to have told her husband Patrick shortly before the fire "I've had enough darling". The inquest also heard how Mr Swallow, who was outside when the fire started, told medical professionals: "She did it, I tried to save her and get to her but I couldn't, - she's tried to do it before". He later said he could not remember this conversation. As well as serious health issues, Mrs Swallow had suffered depression and had previously attempted to take her own life.

The Regal in Stowmarket, Suffolk, stepped in to give him a special reception instead. He worked as forced labour 1942-1945 on the construction and maintenance of the Thailand-Burma railway. The Suffolk Regiment private was captured following the fall of Singapore in February 1942. He decided not to attend the film's premiere in London because it was too late in the evening for him. People's War: Thailand-Burma Railway Mr Baker, who lives at Bacton near Stowmarket, rang his local cinema to see if they would be showing the film, which is based on Eric Lomax's book about his time as a PoW in the Far East. David Marsh, from the Regal, said: "We got chatting to him and thought it would be lovely, as he couldn't get to the London red carpet, for us to bring the red carpet to him." Mr Baker said he helped build many large and small bridges, including the one over the River Kwai. He said he and his comrades were fed on just boiled water and rice, which sometimes contained maggots, and by the end of the war his weight had plummeted to 5 stone (31kg) from his normal 11 stone (70kg). "We were underfed, over-worked, had no clothes to wear in the monsoons, were often up to our necks in mud and we had to build our own huts as we moved up the railway," he said. "I had an ulcer on my leg but I got over that, otherwise my leg would have been taken off without anaesthetic using a saw which we used to cut trees down." Two other prisoners of war of the Japanese attended the Stowmarket screening - the Suffolk Regiment's Pte Percy Wells, 91, from Woodbridge, and Harold Lock, 90, from Sudbury, who was in the Royal Navy. Brian Wright, chairman of the Suffolk Old Comrades club, said 2,000 members of the Suffolk Regiment were prisoners of the Japanese and 760 died while working on the railway. "Veterans don't always talk about their experiences as Japanese PoWs, but they went through hell," he said. "This cinema event is a token of respect for the sacrifices people like Roland made for the world." The UK National Tree Seed Project announced said it had now collected and protected seeds of juniper plants from across the country. They will be stored in the Millennium Seed Bank in Wakehurst, Sussex. While gin sales have enjoyed a recent boom, juniper has been threatened by disease. A deadly fungus, phytophthora austrocedrai, has been particularly damaging for the plants in Scotland, one of the main areas for juniper growth. Although the seed storage will not cure disease, project managers hope it will aid conservation and stop juniper falling into extinction. The project is run by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and funded by the People's Postcode Lottery. Project officer Simon Kallow called it "a type of insurance policy", and said the aim was to make the seed bank active and useful, so that people could use it to conduct research and conservation work. Since it began in 2013, the project has "banked" 5.8 million seeds from 6,500 UK trees, and it will continue cataloguing until 2018. Juniper is the first species to be fully collected. "We prioritise this group because it is the most threatened and also has the largest distribution, some rare, some common," said Mr Kallow. "It was completed first, largely because our partners at the Forestry Commission worked hard to collect it from many populations." Juniper hotspots in the UK include Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Cumbria, Conwy and the Scottish Highlands. The juniper seeds will be kept in jars in giant freezers at -20C. "They will be tested every now and then, by germinating them. This will happen around every 10 years," said Mr Kallow. "Seeds can be kept alive for hundreds of years in the right conditions." UK gin sales are predicted to outstrip Scotch whisky sales by 2020, according to figures released in December. And a spirit cannot be classed as gin unless it is flavoured with juniper. Leon Dalloway, founder of Gin Journey, which offers gin-themed tours around the UK, welcomed the news, but said he was confident we would not be running out any time soon. "'I know at least one fairly large London distillery where they have a 'secret room' containing a year's extra stock in case there is a plight," he said. Mr Dalloway also said most British gins also use juniper berries from overseas. "Think the Pyrenees, Tuscany, and primarily Macedonia or Bosnia. That's where the juniper harnesses the most oils. As long as their stocks are ample, we'll be all right." Jenner, who first shot to fame in the US reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been trying to trademark the name Kylie in the US. But she has been blocked by the veteran Australian pop star Minogue, best known for hits such as I Should Be So Lucky and Can't Get You Out Of My Head. After a long and heated battle, the Kylies may have reached a settlement. According to papers filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in April 2015 Jenner attempted to register the mark "KYLIE" in the US for "advertising services" and "endorsement services". In response, Minogue's team filed their opposition in February 2016, citing possible confusion and "damage" to Minogue's branding. They noted Minogue was an "internationally renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist" who already owns Kylie-related trademarks in the US in several industries, as well as the website www.kylie.com. Jenner, on the other hand, was dismissed as a "secondary reality television personality" who had drawn criticism for her "photographic exhibitionism and controversial posts" on social media. The case was suspended at least twice in 2016 for settlement negotiations. On 19 January Minogue's team withdrew its opposition, which means Jenner's application could proceed. This raises the possibility that they agreed to a settlement. The BBC approached both sides, but Jenner's lawyers declined comment, and Minogue's team did not respond. The USPTO does not comment on individual cases. But meanwhile Jenner appears to have conclusively lost another battle - to trademark her full name. In November 2015, Jenner's lawyers separately tried to trademark the name "KYLIE JENNER" for a long list of clothing and accessories. But this was rejected in July last year. On 23 January, Jenner's team appealed against this decision. Flight attendant shares story of saving trafficking victim Why do Germans hate this football club? How to own a home in the UK by the age of 25 Last year, Jenner launched a line of cosmetics called KYLIE. According to her latest appeal, she wants to eventually have "KYLIE JENNER" branded clothing as well as loungewear, swimwear, and underwear. Meanwhile, Minogue owns "KYLIE" and other similar trademarks in perfumes and toiletries, music and sound recordings, live entertainment, jewellery, dolls and toys, and printed matter such as magazines and books. So far, Minogue has released fragrances, furniture and clothes with her trademarks on them. She also had previously said in interviews she intends to one day produce a musical featuring her greatest hits, and owns the US trademark for "Lucky: The Kylie Minogue Musical". But it's more than that. Since the 1980s, Kylie Minogue has never had to go by any other name but Kylie, and her team has argued it's a fundamental part of the pop diva's identity. Even with a possible settlement, what the battle shows is that at the very least brand KYLIE is not won without a fight. Reporting by the BBC's Tessa Wong, Kevin Ponniah and Jay Savage. South Wales Police say the vehicle was spotted in the water at Blackweir in Bute Park on Tuesday morning. Officers are trying to identify its owner, and say they are unable to confirm whether it is linked to a vehicle stolen from Cardiff council's Park department overnight. There are no reports of anyone being injured. The Glasgow side have won only five out of 17 at Braehead Arena in all competitions, with four out of 12 in the Elite League. And Rosehill says he and his team-mates can't dwell on it too much as they embarked on a run of four games in five days before the New Year. "I honestly don't know why it's not clicked for us at home," Rosehill said. "I've been playing for a long time and never known anything like it. "I've played on teams that have only won at home and that adds up sometimes, but we're performing on the road and can't seem to bring it to our own rink. "It doesn't make sense as our fans are fantastic and they are loud. As players, we're excited to play out there, but it's something of an anomaly right now. "Hopefully we can change it around in the New Year and we can't feel sorry for ourselves with such a busy week ahead." Clan opened the Christmas period in the best possible way with a victory over Fife Flyers on Friday, beating their Kirkcaldy rivals 4-3, making it five wins on the trot against them. Bari McKenzie and Scott Aarssen's strikes were cancelled out by Brendan Brooks and Carlo Finucci before Alex Leavitt and Matt Keith restored the two-goal lead. Matt Sisca pulled another back for Fife on the powerplay late on and despite a final surge at the end, Ryan Finnerty's side held on for the points. However, Boxing Day was a different story as they went down 5-1 to Belfast Giants, a team chasing down league leaders Cardiff Devils for the top spot. Giants took the lead through Colin Shields, with Aarssen levelling by the end of the first. However, Belfast took the win as Ryan Martinelli, Mark Garside, Alex Foster and Steve Saviano all scored. It completed a run of four wins in six days for the Giants, who were visited by Edinburgh Capitals twice in the days leading up to Christmas, taking four points from the sorry Caps. Thursday's 3-0 win, courtesy of goals from Shields (two) and Saviano was followed up by a whopping 9-6 success when they met again 24 hours later. Taylor MacDougall got a consolation as Giants led 8-1 after two periods, but Edinburgh came back in the third to turn a seven-goal deficit into three by the end. Two from Yevgeni Fyodorov and single strikes from Pavel Vorobyev, Jared Staal and Mike D'Orazio softened the blow of a disappointing night. A trip to Kirkcaldy on Boxing Day for the Murrayfield men produced another huge scoreline, but Caps were on the wrong end again, thumped 9-3 by Fife Flyers. Phil Paquet, Justin Fox and Finucci had Fife three up before Vorobyev clawed one back in the first. Further goals from Ryan Dingle and Brooks had the Flyers 5-1 up with Vorobyev scoring again. But Todd Dutiaume's men pushed further as Dingle completed a hat-trick, including a penalty shot and another from Brooks and Fox made it nine, with Staal adding a third consolation for Edinburgh. Dundee Stars' recent collapse in form continued as their run was extended to nine losses in ten following three more defeats this week. Cardiff completed the job on them in the Challenge Cup quarter final on Wednesday with a 4-2 win, making it an 8-3 aggregate success, despite goals from Vinny Scarsella and Scott Brannon. Further lengthy trips to Nottingham Panthers and Manchester Storm either side of Christmas didn't fare much better as Marc LeFebvre's men continue to languish outside the top eight. Friday's journey to Nottingham saw them lose 4-2 with Justin Faryna's early opener cancelled out by Panthers' Brian McGrattan before Felix-Antoine Poulin fired Stars ahead again. Robert Farmer's double turned the game around before Alex Nikiforuk sealed victory with just under two minutes to go. Dundee headed to Manchester on Boxing Day, but another loss made it a miserable Christmas for the Stars fans as Storm won 4-1 in Altrincham. Darian Dzuirzynski, Mario Valery-Trabucco and two from Omar Pacha secured victory for them, despite Kevin Bruijsten nabbing a late consolation for Dundee as they ended the week in defeat.

But Radio 4 controller Gwyneth Williams has since confirmed Saturday Review will be retained - "for now". "After a great deal of consideration I will be keeping the show on air at this time," she said. "Bearing in mind the challenging financial climate I am glad that, for now, I'm able to have both Front Row and Saturday Review as part of Radio 4's ambitious and wide-ranging arts content." Tom Sutcliffe, who presents the show, tweeted that he was "delighted" and "very grateful" for the rethink. Saturday Review is broadcast at 19:15 on Saturday nights, the same time Front Row is aired on weeknights. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

Officers at Tayside Police said anyone who witnessed the incident should contact them as a "matter of urgency". The force is particularly keen to speak to a female jogger who was in the area at the time. The ITV programme, which was first screened in 1967, also featured Tim Brooke-Taylor, Marty Feldman and Aimi Macdonald. The sketch show was hugely influential for British comedy and led to the creation of Monty Python in 1969. The BFI described the discovery as "a crucial find". "It represents a key moment in the history of British television comedy featuring the combined talents of some of its greatest exponents," BFI television consultant Dick Fiddy said. "These gifted comedians, all in their 20s and 30s, were let off the leash and allowed to experiment with style and content, resulting in shows which have had an enduring influence on comedy worldwide." "It was ground-breaking in a sense in that it was very silly," former Goodie member Brooke-Taylor told the BBC's Colin Paterson. "We were thinking, will we get away with it basically?" The series featured sketches and gags which the Monty Python team would go on to adopt, including the Four Yorkshiremen skit - recently seen at the Python reunion shows earlier this year - and the line: "And now for something completely different..." Mr Fiddy added: "Cleese, Feldman, Brooke-Taylor and Chapman created, scripted and starred in ...The 1948 Show, and the fact that the show remains very, very funny 47 years later is a tribute to their extraordinary abilities." The two episodes were found when Mr Fiddy was invited to explore the collection of Sir David Frost, who died last August, and who was executive producer on the show. They were contained on two reels of 16mm film and had been filmed directly from a television screen. Rewatching the material after many years "made me laugh a great deal", admitted Brooke-Taylor. "I think the sketches would be shorter now, but I'm rather pleased with it." Some of the sketches were previously released on a comedy record, but this is the first time since their original broadcast that any footage has been available to go with them. Cleese will present the two episodes, on loan from the Frost family, as part of Missing Believed Wiped - the BFI's annual celebration of recovered TV programmes - on 7 December in London. Mount Sinabung, on the island of Sumatra, became active again in 2010 but there has been more activity since 2 June. Before 2010, the volcano had been dormant for more than 400 years. At least 3,000 people living near its slopes have had to leave, including 1,200 on Monday alone. Scientists worry the volcano could pose more dangers in the coming weeks. On Monday, there were at least 28 pyroclastic flows - surges of hot ash and gas that rush down the side of the mountain at high speed. Gede Suantika, an Indonesian government volcanologist, said there were signs a lava dome was growing on Mount Sinabung. Lava domes are pile-ups of magma near the vent at the top of a volcano, that have been known to collapse and flow down mountain sides at high speed. Why are Mount Sinabung's pyroclastic flows so deadly? The danger alert for Mount Sinabung was raised to its highest level on 2 June. Thousands more people are likely to have to evacuate the area in the coming days, a military commander in Sumatra told AFP. At least 14 people died when pyroclastic flows from Mount Sinabung struck villages in February last year. The Tories also took a council from independent control and retained six authorities in Yorkshire as well as North Lincolnshire Council. Labour retained control of five councils in Yorkshire and the Humber while gaining Bradford City Council. Of the 21 local councils holding elections, 16 had not changed hands with two still to declare. The Conservative Party won Scarborough Borough Council, which had previously been under no overall control, and gained nine seats at Richmondshire District Council, with eight coming from independents and one from UKIP. Kirklees Council, Calderdale Council and North East Lincolnshire Council remained under no overall control. In Rotherham, UKIP were expected to do well in the wake of the child abuse scandal but the party only managed to win three more seats, with Labour retaining control of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. The final result for Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council is expected later. City of York Council, which had previously been under no overall control, is expected to declare its result on Saturday. The game appeared to be drifting towards a goalless draw when a fine finish from Cole sent the three points Fleetwood's way and condemned Northampton to a second straight defeat. The visitors made the brighter start and almost had an early lead when Cian Bolger's header was blocked on the line before David Cornell beat away Jordy Hiwula's drive. But Northampton responded strongly and should have gone into half-time ahead when, after Chris Long twice went close, Fleetwood goalkeeper Alex Cairns pulled off a sensational triple save to deny Aaron Pierre twice and then Billy Waters, all from close-range. Clear-cut chances were harder to come by in a scrappy second half but the game's only goal arrived with 15 minutes remaining. Two substitutes combined as Aiden O'Neill won the ball in midfield and fed Cole, who clinically beat Cornell to earn all three points. Report supplied by the Press Association.

In a long-running dispute India accused the environmental group of "stalling development projects" by protesting against large infrastructure plans. Greenpeace India rejected the six-month restrictions as "clear attempts to silence criticism and dissent". It said it complies with the law governing foreign contributions. In its suspension order, the Indian government accuses Greenpeace of not fully declaring the amount of foreign funds it brings into the country. It has suspended all its bank accounts for six months and threatened to permanently cancel the registration which allows it to operate in the country. Greenpeace India said it was yet to receive an official notice but described the move as a campaign by the government against dissent. The government and Greenpeace have been locked in confrontation for several months over a number of campaigns the group has been running against large projects. Last month, the non-governmental organisation claimed a victory when the government recommended the Mahan forests in Madhya Pradesh not be auctioned for coal mining. The government accuses Greenpeace of blocking India's development. A senior government official told Reuters: "We have evidence to prove that Greenpeace has been misreporting their funds and using their unaccounted foreign aid to stall crucial development projects." But the organisation says it has been, and will continue to be, compliant with the law governing foreign contributions and is only highlighting the impact of projects on the environment and rural communities. Since coming to power in May last year, PM Narendra Modi's government has pushed through a series of long-awaited reforms and new policies making it easier for companies to win approval for new projects. Greenpeace activists have accused him of watering down environmental rules after it allowed industries to operate closer to protected green zones. Divya Raghunandan, Greenpeace India's programme director, said: "We are being repeatedly targeted because we are protesting against the government's unlawful policies." Theresa May will set out measures to boost cooperation between the UK and the Gulf kingdom to tackle extremism on a visit to the capital Amman on Monday. She will also discuss supporting the country with the influx of refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria. The prime minister will be on a three-day trip to the Middle East. Training will be carried out in Jordan and the UK to help its air force improve its capability to strike IS targets. Mrs May is also visiting Saudi Arabia during her trip where the focus will be on strengthening trade and security ties as Britain prepares to leave the EU. She said it was "clearly in the UK's security and prosperity interests" to support Jordan and Saudi Arabia. "To tackle the threats we face from terrorism and from geopolitical instability, we must meet them at their source," she said ahead of the visit. Mrs May said Jordan is on the frontline of "multiple regional crises" and working with the kingdom would help "keep British people safe". "Likewise in Saudi Arabia: we must never forget that intelligence we have received in the past from that country has saved potentially hundreds of lives in the UK," she added. Saudia Arabia is the UK's largest trading partner in the Middle East with goods and services exports totalling £6.6bn in 2015. Britain supports and has helped arm the Saudi-led coalition fighting rebels in neighbouring Yemen. The government has been criticised for its involvement with Saudi Arabia due to the deaths of civilians and a continuing famine in the region. There has been pressure from MPs from across the political parties for a rethink of British policy. Mrs May's visit to Saudi Arabia will reopen thorny questions over support for human rights, says the BBC's deputy political editor John Pienaar. The 22-year-old scored twice in 12 games during a recent loan spell with Grimsby Town this season and now joins the Iron on a two-and-a-half-year deal. Townsend, who spent time on loan with Scunthorpe last term, will not be able to play against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Sunday as he is Cup-tied. He is the second defender to join the Iron this month after Huddersfield's Murray Wallace made his loan permanent.

Find out more The relationship between boss and board has become increasingly strained with the budget available for next season central to that tension. Hughes' side won the Scottish Cup in 2015, their first major honour securing a maiden European campaign. But the 51-year-old has become frustrated at the loss of key talent. Striker Billy McKay was sold midway through last season and defender Graeme Shinnie and midfielder Marley Watkins later left as free agents. And, most recently, forward Miles Storey, who spent this season on loan at Inverness from Swindon Town and scored 13 goals, has agreed to join Caley Thistle's Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen in July. Earlier this season Hughes, who won Scotland's two main manager of the year awards last term, admitted his disappointment at not being allowed to talk to Dundee United when they made an approach following the sacking of Jackie McNamara. An increasingly public difference of opinion over resources has emerged with Inverness stating next season's budget was agreed some time ago and reflected the initial outlay of last term. That budget was added to as a result of significant injury problems but Hughes suggested finishing seventh in the league this season would increase available resources. The club have retained a number of their current squad beyond this season but await the conclusion of negotiations with several first-team players. Hughes took over from Terry Butcher at Inverness in late 2013, having previously managed Falkirk, Hibernian and Livingston. As well as last season's trophy win and third-placed finish in the Premiership, Hughes also led the Highlanders to the 2014 Scottish League Cup final, where they lost on penalties to Aberdeen. His playing career, as a defender, took in spells at both Falkirk and Hibs as well as Swansea and Celtic. The 26-year-old Scot joined Blues from Inverness in July 2013 and has scored four goals in 67 league appearances. He could make his debut for the Millers in Saturday's match against fellow strugglers Charlton. "I think that he is a player that, on his day, can unlock the best defences in this division," head coach Neil Redfearn told the club website.

On Sunday it took off from the west coast of the United States with another ten satellites on board. That launch took place in California, on the west coast of the United States. Sawyers, 24, who has been linked with ex-Walsall boss Dean Smith's Brentford, now has a three-year deal on the table. Sam Mantom, 24, Anthony Forde, 22, and Jason Demetriou, 28, have been offered two-year deals. One-year deals have been offered to Craig MacGillivray, Paul Downing, Amadou Bakayoko, Andy Taylor, Milan Lalkovic, Jordan Cook and Liam Roberts. The player have until 20 June to either accept or decline their deals, after which time the contract offers lapse. Midfielders Levi Rowley and Jordan Murphy have been released by the Saddlers, who missed out on promotion via the play-offs this season. Former Aston Villa winger Isaiah Osbourne, who failed to make an appearance last season because of injury, has been invited back to attend pre-season training so that he can be assessed. Academy players Rory Oliver and Kory Roberts have been offered first-year professional contracts. Walsall are still to make a decision over who will be the manager next season, having been taken to the League One play-offs by interim boss Jon Whitney, who has been in charge for the last two months. Paul McMullan was brought down by Jason Thompson early in the second half and Higginbotham chipped in the spot-kick. Nicky Clark missed two great chances to finish it, but sent his header and shot straight at goalkeeper Pavol Penksa. Defeat leaves John Hughes' side just two points above St Mirren and Ayr United at the bottom. Match ends, Dunfermline Athletic 1, Raith Rovers 0.

Ethel Irene Ditcher, 82, was walking home from the supermarket when she was hit by a lorry on Leigh Road in Leigh, Greater Manchester, on 4 February. A man was spotted stealing her purse before running away. Police called it a "truly disgusting and callous act". The Crimestoppers reward is for information which leads to the man's arrest and conviction. He is described as white, about 6ft (1.8m) tall, between 30 and 40, and of medium build with a brown beard. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system will be deployed solely to counter the threat from Pyongyang, a statement said. It is unclear exactly where it will be sited and who will have final control. China, which has consistently opposed the plan, lodged a protest with the US and South Korean envoys. China's foreign ministry said that the THAAD system will harm peace and stability in the region, despite its ability to detect and shoot down North Korean missiles. "China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute objection to this", it said in a statement on its website. 1. The enemy launches a missile 2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control 3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile 4.

The BBC's Korea Correspondent Stephen Evans says that Beijing fears the system's radars would be able to see far into its territory. China, the North's closest ally, supported the most recent UN sanctions after North Korean nuclear and missile tests. Discussions between the two countries began in February after North Korea fired a long-range missile. "South Korea and the US have made the joint decision to deploy the THAAD system as part of a defensive action to guarantee the security of the Republic of Korea," South Korea's Defence Ministry said on Friday. It will be deployed "as soon as possible." THAAD is "critical" to the US' defensive strategy, Lt. Gen Thomas S. Vandal of the US Eighth Army in South Korea told AP. He added that the North's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction required that the allies made sure that they could defend themselves. The announcement comes after North Korea denounced US sanctions on Kim Jong-un, calling it an "open declaration of war", after the leader was accused of human rights abuses. The US had put sanctions onto the leader for the first time, calling him directly responsible for violations in his country. Pyongyang has warned that it will close down all diplomatic channels with the US unless the blacklisting is revoked, reported news agency Yonhap. The measures freeze any property the individuals have in the US and prevent US citizens doing business with them. "Under Kim Jong-un, North Korea continues to inflict intolerable cruelty and hardship on millions of its own people, including extrajudicial killings, forced labour, and torture," the Treasury statement said. It estimates that between 80,000 and 120,000 prisoners are being held in North Korean prison camps where torture, sexual assault and executions are routine. The men carried sticks and wore small gas masks around their necks. Some leaned back against the sandbags. Beyond the barricade, I could just make out the heads of a group of men standing for pre-dawn prayers. No-one appeared to want to leave. My colleagues and I then drove round the perimeter of the encampment. Just before 05:00 (03:00 GMT), the sky started to lighten. We saw police officers putting on black flak jackets and testing out gas masks. Rows of police trucks were parked on side roads. It seemed clear that a raid was about to begin. At 06:40, from a street corner near the encampment, I saw six police jeeps drive at speed down a main road. Officers carrying weapons jumped out and stopped anyone from going forward. A few minutes later, a single armoured military bulldozer drove down the same road, towards the encampment. The bulldozer began to push away the piles of bricks and sandbags which marked the entry to pro-Morsi territory. Protesters fought back by throwing stones and burning tyres. At the same time, riot police in armoured personnel carriers advanced through nearby streets. For more than two hours I heard the crack of live ammunition. The sharp bangs were accompanied by the bass thuds of exploding tear gas canisters. For a while it was hard to breathe without a gas mask. Some local residents held handkerchiefs to their faces and watched the police deployment from their balconies. A small crowd watched a confrontation between police and protesters at a nearby junction. "They are killing us," said one man, who was a supporter of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. The man had tears in his eyes and he had to speak quietly. The residents around him all were supporting the security forces. My colleagues and I then walked closer towards the frontline. We were less than 200m from the encampment. Thick trails of black smoke stopped us from getting a look at what was happening around the mosque. But the wind sometimes blew over the sound of a man's voice on loudspeaker from the mosque area. The words were too difficult to make out. We then decided to leave. As we drove away, two police officers ran towards our vehicle, cocking their pistols to make us stop. They had orders to confiscate camera footage. They let us go, and we made our way past an outer cordon run by the military and into the centre of Cairo. No-one had known the exact timing of the security forces's operation. In recent days, the rumours that govern Cairo had predicted the time on several occasions; each prediction had come to nothing. But the protesters at the Rabaa mosque knew that, at some point, the government would come for them. Health ministers and officials from 194 countries are due to vote for a new director general of the World Health Organization in Geneva on Tuesday. The UN agency, founded in 1948, describes itself as the "global guardian of public health", but it lost a great deal of credibility and trust over its handling of the Ebola crisis in 2014. The new boss could make or break the WHO, which is still trying to prove it is fit for purpose after admitting it was slow to respond to what became the worst Ebola outbreak in history. However, dealing with epidemics is just part of what WHO does. Its stated goal is to ensure "the highest attainable level of health for all people". In practice, that means everything from trying to wipe out deadly diseases for good, to trying to deal with the growing number of obesity and diabetes epidemics, to reducing deaths on the roads and saving the lives of mothers and babies during childbirth. Heading an organisation responsible for the health of all 7.3 billion people on earth is no small task. "The word 'health' itself is a burden that it carries," said Devi Sridhar, professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh. "Improving health worldwide can mean so many things, from mental health to malaria to unintentional injuries… to cancer. "It's very hard for one agency, with a very limited and very constrained budget - of around $2bn every year - to achieve all those things. " Prof Sridhar, who has recently written a book looking at WHO funding, said the US's health protection agency, the CDC, has a budget more than three times that of the WHO. She also said most of it comes from donors who earmark their funding for specific projects. Only around 20% of the WHO budget comes from compulsory contributions from member states, she said. Whoever gets the top job will have to be the consummate politician. They will have to get country leaders on board with big - often expensive - global health objectives, while also being above politics and not beholden to the special interests of any particular country. "There have been two types of leader at the WHO in the past," said Prof David Heymann, a former assistant director at the WHO. "Some have tried to build consensus between 194 member countries, then try to implement what those countries have said. Others have been leaders who have been out in front with a vision, and tried to pull 194 countries along with that vision." There are three candidates left in the running for the $241,000-a-year job. The vote will take place at the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva. Whoever is elected will serve a minimum five-year term. "I was born into a poor family. When I was seven, I lost my younger brother, probably to measles. I survived by chance, but it could have been me. "For me, this position is about standing up for the rights of the poor. "If I became director general, I would be very vocal on the issue of universal healthcare. "We complain about emergencies or epidemics, worried it may come to our country. But if we ensure universal health coverage, we can resolve all of those issues. "Inequity is a central challenge. The world has all the resources to save every life, as long as we believe every life is important. "Those who have, do not care for the have-nots, and unless we confront that reality honestly, I don't think we will make progress." "I was born and brought up in Peshawar on the Afghan border in Pakistan. I was raised in a progressive family. My father encouraged us to swim in the summer and play golf. I was a local golf champion by the time I was 16. "When I was 15, my father passed away silently in his sleep - I think that was a turning point in my life. "I trained as a cardiologist and I became very disillusioned with the disparity of care between the rich and the poor. "My vision for this role centres on regaining the WHO's primacy, and ensuring that it has the world's trust as its lead health agency. "Since the Ebola outbreak, the WHO has come under heavy criticism for its inability to... exercise stewardship during health emergencies. "I want to make the organisation more accountable and transparent. "I want it to focus on its core roles, rather than doing everything under the sun, in a half-baked way. I would lead the WHO very differently." "My parents are both doctors, and probably because of their influence, I started working outside the UK. "It was when I was working in Nepal in 1989, that I found how malnutrition and disease were most likely to come from households that faced particularly difficult circumstances in terms of income, the status of women and their access to sanitation and water. "It seemed to me blindingly obvious that I had to work on the underlying determinants of health. "My first priority if I become director general of the WHO, is to focus on universal health coverage - everybody being able to access healthcare when and where they need it. "My second priority is to make sure people can be defended against outbreaks of disease. "Thirdly, we are seeing increasing levels of diabetes, heart disease and mental ill-health. These kinds of non-communicable conditions could be prevented by better work across governments and society." Follow @tulipmazumdar on twitter Community Union described the discussions as "positive". Mr Javid met Tata chairman Cyrus Mistry in Mumbai on Wednesday. The UK plants go up for sale on Monday. Meanwhile, Sanjeev Gupta's Liberty group, seen as a front runner to buy parts of Tata's operations, met First Minister Carwyn Jones on Thursday. A Welsh Government spokeswoman said the meeting was to "discuss ways in which government could support any future purchaser of Tata's steelmaking operations in Wales". "It was a useful meeting and the first minister reiterated his commitment to work closely with Mr Gupta and his team. They will keep in regular contact as discussions progress," the spokeswoman added. Earlier, a leading business expert warned it may be better to close Tata's steel plant in Port Talbot than for it to face a "death of 1,000 cuts" Cardiff Business School Prof Calvin Jones also said UK ministers "colluded in the demise" of steel in the EU. He said ministers' priority was to boost consumption with cheaper goods, at the expense of heavy industry. Prof Jones' comments came as David Cameron said he believed "we can get a resolution for Port Talbot". Challenged over steel while speaking to students at Exeter University, the prime minister said it was "a strategic industry we should seek to support". Prof Jones wrote a report on Tata published in 2012. In an essay for the BBC news website, he warned politicians' "proclamations" that closure was "unthinkable" would not stop it happening without a "viable investment and financial strategy" and "so far nothing of any substance has emerged from either Cardiff Bay or Westminster". "The UK government (and some in Europe) have, by blocking tariff increases on Chinese steel, actively colluded in the downfall of EU Steel in order to protect the affordability of the consumer durables that help prop up a fundamentally broken Western consumption model of growth," he wrote. Prof Jones suggested Liberty head Sanjeev Gupta's was interested in buying a "very old and very complex site" in Port Talbot if he could get government help with Tata's liabilities, cleaning up the land and lower electricity costs. "The risk here of course is that Tata could walk away from their liabilities right now, and with the UK or Welsh Government shouldering them in return for the prospect of employment being retained at Port Talbot, although who knows for how long?" he said "It is with absolutely no pleasure that I suggest that if Port Talbot is to close - and it will - it may be better done now when we can squeeze every remedial rupee possible out of a rich corporate owner. "The alternative will be the death of a thousand cuts for the next decade or more, with the public sector left to clean up the eventual mess, and in the meantime no one able to develop a positive, sustainable vision for Port Talbot." Documents published with the Autumn Statement forecast a rise in the price of both oil and gas of 10-15%, generating bigger taxable profits for offshore operators. The independent body predicts nearly £6bn revenue over the next four years. In March, it forecast a tax allowance giveaway by the Treasury of £4bn. The main factor in its revised forecast has been a faster than expected rise in dollar oil prices. At the end of October oil prices averaged $50.8 a barrel, 32% higher than the assumption it made in drawing up its March forecasts. The OBR now expects prices to make a slow recovery to $44 a barrel next year, and to about $60 a barrel in 2022. But that is still significantly lower than its March 2014 forecast, prior to the oil price crash, of about $100 a barrel, the OBR report points out. The OBR has also revised up its estimates of production, reflecting recent investment in the sector. "We now assume that oil production will be flat until 2019 (rather than until 2018) partly reflecting returns on high levels of capital expenditure over the past few years," it said. The report says the fall in the value of the pound since the Brexit vote has led to higher Sterling oil prices, increasing revenue for the Treasury. In the current financial year it still expects petroleum revenue tax repayments to more than offset receipts from corporation tax but from 2017 onwards it predicts a surplus, reaching £2.5bn by 2020. Winger Anthony Knockaert fired the Seagulls ahead early on, with a low 20-yard effort into the corner. Sam Baldock slotted the ball in to double the lead just before the break. Matej Vydra headed against the outside of the post for Derby, before Glenn Murray bundled in his 18th goal of the campaign from Knockaert's cross to seal Brighton's 14th home win of the season. The Seagulls remain second in the table with an inferior goal difference to Newcastle, but now have a nine-point buffer to Huddersfield in third - albeit the Terriers have two games in hand. Of their nine matches left, eight are against sides in the bottom half of the table as they look to return to the top flight for the first time since 1982-83. Following a trip to play-off chasing Leeds next Saturday, April's fixture list is kind to Chris Hughton's men with home games against Blackburn, Birmingham, Wigan and Bristol City. Their outstanding frontline of Murray, Baldock and Knockaert have now scored 42 Championship goals between them this campaign, and gave Derby's defenders a torrid time with their pace, movement and clinical finishing. Former Leicester forward Knockaert was instrumental in most of Brighton's attacking play, bending home a superb effort to open the scoring and seeing Scott Carson tip over his fierce second-half strike. The Rams started with former England pair Darren Bent and David Nugent up front, but Brighton's defence were rarely troubled in keeping their 19th clean sheet of the season. Derby, who are 10th and 10 points behind sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday, have now only picked up six points from their past nine matches and their play-off hopes appear to be over for another season. Brighton manager Chris Hughton: "We now have 77 points and there is no points target from our last nine games. "We've got some tough games coming up and everybody is fighting. But we're on the back of a really good performance against a really good side tonight. We were very good from start to finish. "The timing of the first goal was pivotal, the second just before half-time lifted us and we were able to take that on in the second half." Derby County boss Steve McClaren: "It was a lesson for my team and this showed how far Brighton have come. They are going up for certain. Murray was a great signing and Brighton are a team that are going up. The gap showed. "It was a reality check for us. We have played three games in a week and we couldn't deal with the physicality of that. "That is the benchmark of where we need to go. In the 16 months I was away teams have really kicked on in terms of physicality. The league has kicked on. We need to learn the lessons and kick on ourselves." McClaren on his future at Derby: "I am confident I can take it on, absolutely. We need to take the club on to the next level and from one day we knew that. "The chairman wants Derby in the Premier League. We have all the resources and don't need to panic. We need to prepare to face Forest on Saturday and then take this club on."

Demonstrators threw stones and eggs at a government building, demanding the resignation of PM Edi Rama's government. The opposition says the government is corrupt and its policies impoverish the population. Mr Rama's Socialists - who came to power in 2013 - deny this. So far there have been no reports of injuries during the rally led by the opposition Democratic Party. The demonstration is being held on the 25th anniversary of an anti-Communist protest by students, which eventually ended one-party rule and paved the way for free elections in the Balkan nation.

The public inquiry report into high death rates at the hospital over 2005-09 is due to be released on Wednesday. Julie Bailey, who set up protest group Cure The NHS, was among those who met David Cameron. The campaigners said they wanted assurances any recommendations made in the report would be implemented. Robert Francis QC compiled the report after overseeing a public inquiry, which was held last year. His report is expected to recommend wide-ranging reforms of the NHS. Over the weekend it emerged five doctors from the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust are to face disciplinary hearings over their work between 2005 and 2009. The General Medical Council said three of them had managerial responsibilities at the trust at the time. The GMC said all five would appear before a fitness to practise tribunal. Emergency services were alerted at about 04:20 that a young child was in the water in Dalmellington, East Ayrshire. She was taken to Ayr Hospital for treatment. Police Scotland said inquiries were ongoing to establish the details of the incident. A spokeswoman said: "Police received a report of a young girl having fallen into water, believed to be a burn, in Cathcartson, Ayrshire. "The girl, believed to be a four-year-old, was taken to Ayr Hospital for treatment." The Irish striker has scored 19 goals for the Dons this season and has been an ever present in the side. "Adam took a slight strain on his thigh doing some shooting after training on Thursday," McInnes told BBC Scotland. "It's developed into something a wee bit more. He's going to be for a good few weeks. You would have to suggest it will be in the region of six weeks." Rooney had been due to make his 100th appearances for Aberdeen against St Johnstone on Saturday. The Dons also have injuries to Jonny Hayes and Craig Storie, though McInnes said Storie - who signed a new deal with Aberdeen during the week - will be back training on Monday. "It's a shame for him (Rooney). He was so excited about playing his 100th game," said the Pittodrie manager. "Some of my comments prior to the game was that he's never injured. To pick up almost 100 appearances in just under two years is quite remarkable. "We all know the importance of his goals. It's up to others to step up and that's exactly what a squad is all about." He added: "You have to overcome these things. You can't let it beat you up and use it as an excuse. We still feel we've a good attacking threat in the team." With the support of the Scottish Greens, the SNP will win the vote calling for a second referendum on Scottish independence. They will then claim that the UK government must not stand in the way of the democratically expressed will of the Scottish Parliament. But the opposition parties - the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats - all believe that the will of the parliament does not match the will of the people. Scottish voters don't want another referendum, they argue, and they are convinced public opinion is on their side. It used to be received wisdom in Scottish politics that if Westminster tried to deny a Scottish referendum that could easily backfire and stir up support for independence. But the Unionist parties are confident there is no great public demand for another vote - other than among people who are already committed nationalists. Opinion polls suggest people are split fairly evenly, about 50/50, on whether they want another vote. And it tends to be yes supporters who say yes to another referendum. No voters who say no, not now. The great divide in Scottish politics over the question of independence may only be solidified by this current debate over whether to re-run the 2014 referendum. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will argue that this is now a constitutional struggle in which the Scottish Parliament is battling with Westminster. Tories say she is just playing a well rehearsed political game - one in which she puts forward a proposal she knows will be rejected by Westminster and then responds with righteous indignation. And we are about to see that happen once again. Ms Sturgeon will soon send a letter to 10 Downing Street demanding another referendum. The Prime Minster Theresa May will reply to say they are not prepared to talk about it at this time, pressing the point that it is more important to pull together and get the best Brexit deal for the whole of the UK. The big question, the big calculation for both sides, is how many Scottish voters will then share the SNP's inevitable outrage about being denied another referendum. Some will. Others will breathe a huge sigh of relief that they don't have to live through another campaign. At least not yet. Originating in the frozen north as an essential part of daily life, it now sits along other Nordic skiing sports such as Nordic combined, ski jumping and biathlon. A good place to start if you want to get involved with cross-country is with Snowsport England, who have produced a guide on how to begin the sport in England - where the ideal conditions don't often exist. They also offer GO SKI GO BOARD roller skiing sessions for those who want learn the basics needed for cross country. Scotland tends to be a more natural home for cross-country skiers, so check the Snowsport Scotland slope finder. Most Britons who aren't doing the sport for a living will almost certainly want to supplement any cross-country skiing with sessions at nearby indoor slopes. Snowsport England provides a handy club and slope finder, as does Snowsport Wales. Be in no doubt about the physical exertion required - cross-country skiing can be punishing. You will need to quickly develop your balance and coordination to pick up the sport and make the most of it. To start with you need only venture out for a few hundred metres at a time, but committed amateurs will routinely ski for five kilometres or more, and elite skiers go for 50km at a time at the Olympics. Those distances require phenomenal reserves of energy alongside mental stamina and years of acquired muscle memory. Norwegian army units were skiing for sport as early as the 18th Century and this soon spread to the rest of the country, with the first recorded race taking place in 1842. Men's cross-country skiing was first featured at the original Winter Olympics of 1924. The women's version was introduced ahead of the Oslo Games in 1952.

She is thought to have swallowed it in order to smuggle it out of the country. The woman is believed to have stolen the six-carat diamond from a jewellery fair on Thursday by swapping it for a fake gemstone. However, she was caught on security cameras at the fair and later arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. A man travelling with her was also arrested. Police said the woman initially denied involvement, but an X-ray revealed the diamond lodged inside her. She was initially given laxatives, but when nature failed to take its course, a colonoscope was used to extract the gem. Pol Maj Gen Sanit Mahathavorn, quoted by the Bangkok Post, said the operation had taken about 12 minutes and the woman was recovering in hospital. Pictures posted on social media showed the left-hand side of the stage at the Tomorrowland Unite festival near Barcelona going up in flames. No injuries have been reported. Organisers said on the festival's website that "a technical malfunction" had caused the blaze but gave no further details. The electronic music festival was taking place at Can Zam Park in Santa Coloma de Gramenet when the drama unfolded. Top DJ Steve Aoki had been due to perform on stage when the one-day festival was cancelled. The line-up also included DJs Ingrosso and Afrojack. The Belarusian served for the title against Williams 12 months ago, but the American fought back to win for the fourth time at Flushing Meadows. Williams, 31, has looked imperious in reaching this year's final for the loss of just 16 games in six matches. "She's an amazing player. She's the greatest of all time," said Azarenka. The 24-year-old, who has beaten the world number one twice this year, added: "You've got to fight. You've got to run, you've got to grind, and you've got to bite with your teeth for whatever opportunity you have." Azarenka won their last contest in Cincinnati on the eve of the US Open but Williams, who has won 12 of their 15 matches overall, believes the second seed raises her game when they play. "Both matches [won by Azarenka in 2013] she played really well," said Williams. "I let myself down at opportunities and I didn't take them. If I'm able to get another chance I have to take them, because she is always pumped and she does really well. "It's hard to go against Serena. She is so comfortable when she gets to a final. For her it's always been about trying to win Grand Slams and she, as great as her year has been, is not happy with just having the one in 2013 [French Open]. "Serena is so comfortable playing here in New York. The crowd is going to be behind her and I'd be surprised if she didn't take home the title." "When she plays me she plays her best, by far. I have seen her play other players, but when I play her I'm playing a totally different player. Obviously she brings her best game." Both women have won one Grand Slam apiece this year, and although French Open champion Williams is firmly established as the world number one, whoever wins on Sunday might feel they have had the better year. A victory would also take Williams to within one major singles title of the 18 won by Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. "It's still so close but it's still so far," said Williams. "I have to win against a great player and I have to play great tennis." For Azarenka, it is an opportunity to win a Grand Slam title away from the Australian Open, where she has been the champion for the past two years. "It's an amazing opportunity, something that every tennis player dreams of, to be in the final of the US Open and play against the best player in the world," she said. "It's something I'm so excited about. I can't wait to go out and play." Jason Pritchard, 42, had been in the police cells in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, when the incident happened in December 2015. Sgt Jethro Christie, who was in charge of the custody suite, denies gross misconduct. He denied using a wrestling-style manoeuvre on Mr Pritchard. Mr Pritchard, who spent the night in the cells after being arrested for threatening behaviour on Boxing Day, claimed Sgt Christie lifted him up off the floor when he asked him about his son the next morning. "It happened so quickly," Mr Pritchard told the hearing at North Wales Police head office in Colwyn Bay. "I can't recall much of my reaction, just being lifted up into the air by him, then another officer grabbed my legs and I was thrown into the cell with a pain in my shoulder." When questioned by Stephen Crossley, a barrister representing Sgt Christie, Mr Pritchard admitted he could not remember all of the exchange which led to him being restrained. Sgt Christie told the hearing Mr Pritchard seemed angry and aggressive and approached him "with his chest puffed out". He said he attempted several different techniques to restrain him but they failed. "I went for the low level minimal force option first, but he just broke out of that. He broke out of each technique I put on him," he said. He denied using a "full Nelson" manoeuvre, similar to that used in wrestling - which involves passing both arms around the opponent's armpits and neck - to restrain Mr Pritchard. "I've never used that manoeuvre in any sports event or any police event," he said. Sgt Christie said Mr Pritchard had fallen off the cell bed onto his shoulder. Mr Pritchard earlier denied this was how the injury occurred. The hearing continues. The 16-year-old from Crediton, who has been at Exeter for eight years, moves to Old Trafford for an initial fee of around £100,000. Goss scored 13 times for the League Two side's under-16s last season earning him a trial with United. He played for them in a youth tournament in the Netherlands and will join their academy side. "The last few days haven't felt real - seeing all the first-team players around and the training facilities is like a different world," Goss told the club website. "I can't wait to get started now and we've got pre-season games coming up. "I just have to continue working hard and my aim now is to just push higher and higher through the ranks." But it also emphasised how much has changed in the last five years. In 2010, the Conservatives and the Ulster Unionists were partners in an electoral pact, and Mr Cameron harboured hopes Northern Ireland's "New Force" might contribute an MP to his Westminster team. Now older and wiser, Mr Cameron knows his Northern Ireland candidates are embarked on a long process of trying to build from the bottom up. In the 2015 electoral Game of Thrones, the New Force has been replaced by a DUP-UUP pact, and the real Northern Ireland dynasty in play is the DUP, hoping to increase its complement of MPs and return as kingmakers in a hung parliament. If the arithmetic doesn't work out on 8 May, no doubt the DUP will be disappointed. But so far as the current campaign is concerned that doesn't matter - the party is using the prospect of wielding influence as an impetus to motivate its vote right now. DUP strategists appear confident of retaking the East Belfast seat lost five years ago to Alliance. While Naomi Long may benefit from incumbency, the odds look stacked against her. The DUP is also hopeful about profiting from any damage to the SDLP's South Belfast vote caused by Sinn Féin entering the race there. Aside from calling for an end to the bedroom tax and a guaranteed level of defence spending, one aspect of the DUP's Northern Ireland plan which Peter Robinson referred to in his recent Inside Politics interview, is its rejection of the previous proposal to cut Northern Ireland's constituencies down from 18 to 16 (as part of a general reduction in the size of the Commons). Previously the Conservative-backed plan foundered when the Liberal Democrats pulled the plug. But if David Cameron does return to power with DUP assistance he will find them equally opposed, at least so far as Northern Ireland is concerned. If the DUP can consolidate or improve its Westminster position in this election, it doesn't want to allow it to be subsequently reduced by a stroke of a Boundary Commissioner's pen. Abdul Hafidah was stabbed after he was hit by a car on Moss Lane East on 12 May and died later in hospital. Eight people, including a 14-year-old boy, have previously been arrested in connection with his death and have been released on bail. A 19-year-old man from Moss Side has been taken into custody for questioning, police said. Police believe Mr Hafidah had been chased near Greenheys Lane before being struck by a blue Vauxhall Corsa and then stabbed, Officers are continuing to appeal for information. Det Sgt Wes Knights said: "This is now our ninth arrest and we will continue to progress this investigation and carry on with our inquiries. "I would ask anyone who might have been in the area at the time of Abdul's murder to come forward. Every bit of information could help us give his family answers." A man, covering his face and holding what appeared to be a handgun, demanded cash from staff at the One Stop store in Bordon at 18:40 GMT on Saturday. A quantity of cash and other items were handed over by a staff member before the offender fled the scene on foot. Police appealed for information from customers in the store and said extra patrols were being carried out. The man was discovered at about 02:20 in Lochranza Drive near Lindsayfield Road, East Kilbride. Paramedics were called to the scene but he died a short time later. Police said the death was being treated as unexplained and a post-mortem examination would be carried out in due course. Mountaineering Scotland wrote a joint letter with the Scottish Gamekeepers Association. It asked for upland moors to be protected from commercial tree-planting. The letter to the environment secretary was prompted by the Scottish government's draft Climate Change Plan. It sets a target of increasing forest cover from 17% to 25% of the land mass by 2050. Following the letter, many Mountaineering Scotland members have said they support the planting of native species and describe the moorland as a man-made habitat. Others have questioned the group's association with gamekeepers. The outdoors writer and TV presenter Cameron McNeish wrote on Twitter: "Disagree with #Mountaineering Scotland over {the} issue of woodlands. Shocked they have got into bed with moorland owners. "My own preference would be for reducing deer and sheep numbers to allow natural regeneration, not planting. Growth can be incredibly fast." BBC Scotland revealed on Wednesday that the joint letter had been sent to the Scottish government. The letter states: "Our concern is whether adequate weight is being given to the significant changes this will have on the landscape of Scotland and in particular the dramatic open views and vistas which have come to signify to the outside world that which is unique about our country." Responding to the criticism, chief executive David Gibson said: "Mountaineering Scotland welcomes the passion shown by our members and others but regrets that our position has been substantially misunderstood and has caused concern to members. "The feedback has strengthened our resolve to take a stronger stance on conservation issues, including hill tracks and land management practices. "Our collaboration with the Scottish Gamekeepers Association was on a single issue and does not indicate agreement with them on any other policy or issue." Mountaineering Scotland, formerly the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS), issued a clarification on Thursday saying they were not opposed to the planting of native trees. Outdoor writer Chris Townsend said: "Having read the clarification, I have to say as a member and an ex-president of the MCofS I think it's pathetic, disappointing and naive." But Reforesting Scotland, a charity which promotes tree planting, backed the underlying call for a government policy on upland moors. A spokesman told BBC Scotland: "Scotland's upland landscape is largely a man-made construct caused by deforestation and maintained that way through excessive grazing and burning for the benefit of a few. "There is a need to protect areas of valuable moorland but not at the level it exists at present. The balance is wrong and we need to bring all interested parties together to decide where that new balance should lie." Professor Dominick Spracklen, of the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, said: "The distinction between plantation forestry and native woodlands is absolutely critical to this discussion - open, patchy native woodlands do not have the impact on "grand vistas" that dense plantation forestry does." Citing Glen Affric, Glen Strathfarrar, Glen Feshie and Beinn Eighe, he added: "These are iconic landscapes - a mix of native trees, moorland and mountain - that are much more interesting than they would be if they had no trees. The clarification from the Mountaineering Council recognises this." The Scottish government's draft Climate Change Plan includes planting more trees because forests can act as a carbon "sink", removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. A spokesman said: "The increased woodland creation targets announced by the Scottish government as part of its Climate Change Plan will be taken forward in a sustainable way, including working closely with a range of stakeholders. "This will include appropriate consideration of Scotland's distinctive upland landscapes." The oil-rich country, often described as one of the most corrupt in the world, has only had two leaders since independence from Portugal in 1975. Provisional results from Angola's recent election put the governing MPLA party in an unassailable lead, which means the former defence minister, Joao Laurenco, is going to be the next president. But at least one thing will be different. Who is Angola's JLo? The new head of state will not be able to govern in the same way as his predecessor. The outgoing President dos Santos is still the head of the MPLA which has governed Angola since independence, transforming it from a hardline communist party to a freewheeling capitalist one. This often invisible, but phenomenally cunning politician - popularly known as Zedu - is not going to retire gracefully, despite consistent reports of ill health. He will remain powerful, and he will remain in the shadows. Before the election, a law was passed preventing the new president from firing the heads of the army, police and intelligence services for eight years. Plus, for now at least, the dos Santos family tentacles will keep a firm grip on the economy. The president's daughter, Isabel - Africa's richest woman - runs the state oil company. One his sons, Jose, is in charge of the $5bn (£3.9bn) state-owned investment fund. Unravelling Angola's wealth from a tiny elite of super-rich families will be a mammoth task - and there may well be a lack of will to do so. Despite predictions of social unrest - even an Angolan Spring - a few families continue to become richer and treat the country as their playground. A measly tuna fish sandwich on the glamorous beach front near the capital Luanda will set you back $40. Porsche cars, purchased from a local showroom, purr by, their occupants dripping with designer wear. Super-yachts crowd the ocean and high-rise buildings with multi-million dollar apartments line the horizon. It is hard to believe that just 15 years ago, Angola was still being ripped apart by a civil war which lasted 27 years, and which had been preceded by a long, bitter struggle for independence. For all the criticism of President Dos Santos, he is the man who ended the war following the killing in 2002 of the Unita rebel leader Jonas Savimbi. Unlike many other countries, Angola has not slipped back into conflict. It is repressive, corrupt and intolerant of dissent, but war has not returned. Not long after the conflict ended, the country became a miracle, at least economically. For some years, it was the world's fastest growing economy. Chinese and other foreigners rushed in to build roads, railways and new cities. Even citizens of the former colonial power, Portugal, fled economic collapse at home for lucrative jobs in Angola. But most of the grand infrastructure projects did not improve the lives of Angola's poorest, 70% of whom live on less than $2 ($1.50) a day. The United Nations says 20% of Angola's children die before their fifth birthday - one of the highest child mortality rates on earth. During the long years of war, the poverty, the lack of schools and hospitals could be excused. But no longer. Now that oil prices have crashed, inflation has rocketed to 40% and annual economic growth has plummeted. Politicians must be regretting that they failed to honour promises of economic diversification. Angola is blessed with gold, diamonds, fertile land, a long seaboard and, for such a huge landmass, a relatively small population. For decades, Angola's crafty, invisible president worked hard to keep the poor invisible too. He bulldozed their slum settlements to make way for glitzy shopping malls and housing developments, locking up many who complained. But keeping a lid on the more than two-thirds of Angolans who are under 25 - and who are social media savvy, and out of work and education - will be a mighty challenge for the new man at the top. For a country so abundant with natural resources, perhaps it is time to stop treating it like a family business. The memorial hall for Park Chung-hee, the country's former military ruler, was badly damaged in the blaze. Police quoted the suspect as saying the president should have resigned or killed herself, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported. Ms Park is facing protests and possible impeachment over a corruption scandal. The house where Ms Park's father was born, in the southern city of Gumi, is a tourist attraction, especially among supporters of the Park family. How a friendship became a scandal Police said the suspect told investigators he used paint thinner to set fire to it, the Associated Press news agency reported. Ms Park has not commented on the incident, though she made her first public appearance in more than three weeks on Thursday, visiting a century-old market in her hometown that had also been damaged by fire. The cause of Wednesday's blaze in Daegu is still being investigated. Parliament is due to discuss on Friday whether Ms Park should face impeachment amid an investigation into whether she allowed a long-time friend, Choi Soon-sil, to influence political decisions for personal gain. The investigation focuses on alleged abuse by Ms Choi, the daughter of the leader of a pseudo-Christian cult, of her closeness to the president to enrich herself and influence policy, as well as her handling of classified documents. On Tuesday, Ms Park asked parliament to help her find a way to stand down. She has apologised twice before, and has said she is "heartbroken" by the political crisis, but has refused to resign. In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of Koreans have joined huge street protests across the country demanding that she leave office. Park Chung-hee ruled the country from 1961, when he took power in a military coup, until 1979, when he was assassinated by his security chief. His rule was authoritarian, but he is credited with industrialisation which brought the country out of poverty in the wake of the Korean War. Security has been tightened at Garissa University College nine months after the attack by militant Islamist group al-Shabab. Staff reported to work last week to get the campus in north-east Kenya ready. Last year's attack was the deadliest so far by the Somali-based group in Kenya. The campus has been closed since the attack and at the time some 650 students were offered places at a sister campus in Eldoret, western Kenya, to continue their studies. They were not expected to return to Garissa but the authorities are hoping to attract a new cohort of students by the start of the academic year in September. Shamsi Abdi Barre: "I have the memories of lost friends, the environment gives me flashbacks... but life must go on." Shamsi Abdi Barre, third-year student, Garissa University College Only about a dozen students arrived and attended a business management class, including Shamsi Abdi Barre. She told the BBC that though she is happy the university has reopened, she has "a lot of memories of lost friends [and] the environment gives me a lot of flashbacks". The BBC's Angela Ngendo in Garissa says that those who turned up were third-year students who worked in the local area. They told her they wanted to complete their classes so they could graduate. Student Lovender Moseti has decided not to go back. She told the AP news agency that she did not want to "remember everything that happened" and said she "would not be comfortable" returning despite the strengthened security. Al-Shabab has launched several attacks on Kenya, saying they are in revenge for Kenya's decision to send troops to Somalia, where they are helping government forces against the al-Qaeda affiliated group. Thomas Waterfield was back in the city for the first time in almost 60 years. His biological mother, Hannah Kavanagh, gave him up for adoption after leaving Springtown camp in Derry to live in London. Mr Waterfield described the visit as "overwhelming". He said life after his adoption in 1951 was "blessed", with a mother who was not only very famous, but also very grounded. "There was never a dull moment, that's for sure," he said. "As children, mom would take us down to the studio. "We'd run around and meet all the people and see all the props. It was kind of like a Disneyland." Jane Russell was one of the most popular Hollywood sex symbols of the 1940s and 50s and spent her life campaigning on behalf of families trying to adopt. Springtown camp, now known as Springtown industrial estate, was an American navy base during the Second World War. It was a collection of tin and wooden huts, which, after the Americans left, was squatted in by a number of families who at that time had been living with their parents and in extremely cramped conditions. Willie Deery, author of Springtown Camp From the Inside, grew up in the camp. He said it was "thousands of miles" from the Hollywood lifestyle. "Back then it was harsh, but happy. We had very little, but again, we had everything," he said. Thomas Waterfield said that he would treasure the memories of his visit to Derry. "I have lots of memories of my son coming over and meeting his biological family, and reading about the history and the struggles over the generations," he said. "That's what I'd like to take home." Researchers suggest that the seeds of future invasions have already been sown, making them difficult to control. The team of European scientists called on governments to tighten controls on international trade that involved potentially invasive species. The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Alien invasions may be characterised by considerable time lags between the date of first introduction of a species to a new territory and its establishment as part of the regional flora or fauna," they wrote. "This lag in the cause-effect relationship would mean that, independent of existing biosecurity and trade regulations preventing further introductions, the seeds of future invasion problems have already been sown and can best be described as an 'invasion debt'." They reached their conclusion after examining series of data on more than 3,300 invasive species across 10 taxonomic groups - including birds, reptiles, mammals, fungi and plants - in 28 countries around Europe. Silent killers Researchers consider the threat from invasive species to be one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss, alongside other factors such as habitat loss and fragmentation. An invasive plant is emerging as a major problem in a Nepalese national park The invader that is strangling an ecosystem For example, a native plant of Brazil, Mikania micrantha, has already covered 20% of a Unesco-listed national park in southern Nepal. Scientists are concerned about the spread of the "weed" in the Chitwan National Park because it has been a huge conservation success story, with nearly 100 breeding adult tigers and more than 400 rhinos roaming within its territory. The spread threatens to smother vegetation that is a source of food for a variety of animals, raising concerns about the stability of the ecosystem's food chain. In the PNAS paper, the researchers said that socio-economic indicators from 1900 provided a better explanation of current patterns of invasive species than indicators from 2000. "The results of [this] analysis extend our understanding of the temporal dimension of this relationship," they wrote. "We show that, across all 10 taxonomic groups analysed, indicators of historical introduction efforts around the year 1900 explain current stocks of alien species in Europe significantly better than the same indicators evaluated for the recent past." However, the team warned that the volume of introduced species had increased markedly as the 1900s advanced. "Given the enormous increase of introduction events during the second half of the 20th Century, this result is strongly suggestive of a considerable delay between the introduction of a species and its subsequent establishment in the wild." They concluded: "Our results highlight that even if further unintended introductions could be successfully reduced by [current regulations and policies], the mid-term impacts of alien species on biodiversity and the economy might even be higher than currently expected." Mourinho has left Schweinsteiger, 32, out of United's first-team squad and will pick young players if injuries cut his central midfield options. Schweinsteiger does not intend to leave Old Trafford this month and said: "My wish would be to continue playing for Manchester United but I have no personal problems with Jose Mourinho." Find out how to get into football with our special guide. The former Bayern Munich midfielder's contract runs to 2018 and he does not wish to play for another club in Europe and has ruled out an immediate move to Major League Soccer. He said: "The MLS transfer window is closed. So it won't happen this season." Schweinsteiger does intend to carrying on playing though, beyond Wednesday night's international between Germany and Finland. He said: "I'm not going to stop playing football. I still believe in my own ability." Wednesday's friendly game in Monchengladbach will be his 121st and last appearance for Germany after he announced his retirement last month. Less than half of the 43,000 tickets available have been sold. "It's a bit of a pity for Bastian, if the stadium isn't sold out," admitted Germany coach Joachim Low.

The 10-year-old is rated at 171, five more than Coneygree was before his Gold Cup success in 2015. Thistlecrack was competing in just his fourth race over fences when he swept aside Cue Card in the King George. "He really is showing all the signs of being exceptional," said Phil Smith, the British Horseracing Authority's senior handicapper. Thistlecrack made his chasing debut in October, and trainer Colin Tizzard is planning one more race for his stable star, probably at Cheltenham on 28 January, before heading to the Gold Cup at the same course on 17 March. Kauto Star, winner of two Cheltenham Gold Cups and a record five King Georges, was rated 193 at his peak. Nolan was appointed by the struggling League Two club on 12 January, but the 34-year-old midfielder was unable to play because of a transfer embargo. However, debts to HM Revenue & Customs and other clubs have now been settled. Campbell, 20, has scored two goals in 36 League Two games across two loan spells with Yeovil. Owner Alan Hardy has confirmed that former Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and West Ham man Nolan can now play. "It was always Kevin's intention to register as a player," Hardy said. "He will need to continue building his fitness but, when he's ready, I'm confident we will have one of, if not, the best midfielders in the league." Notts made Mark Yeates their first signing of the transfer window on Monday night. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page or visit our Premier League tracker here. But many of the problems of 2015 could get worse this year, from lack of demand for the continent's commodities, to lack of rain, from falling currencies to political instability. The editor of BBC Africa's Business Report, Matthew Davies, takes a look at the prospects for African economies in 2016: Prices for Africa's commodities fell sharply in 2015 and are not expected to see much of a recovery this year. This has had widespread economic effects across the continent. In Zambia, the country's main export, copper, now sells for less than half than it did just three years ago. Some mining companies have even halted production and laid off workers. It's led to a plunge in the currency, the kwacha, and a rise in inflation which is expected to continue. And several African countries, including the big oil producers like Nigeria and Angola, are in the same boat. Expect a few countries to call on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help this year. Much of the fall in the prices of commodities is down to China. As its economy has slowed, demand for the metals and minerals in African soils has reduced dramatically. The knock-on effect of this has translated not just into commodity price falls, but also to job losses and a fall in tax revenues gathered by some African governments. If, as one would expect, things continue on this path, we can expect African governments to either cut public spending or increase taxes, or both. The turmoil in Chinese markets since the beginning of the year is also a cause for concern. The more the giant Chinese economy stumbles around in search of a good footing and clear direction, the more African governments need to take measures to make sure that China's economic problems don't become their own. China's economic situation and the resultant fall in commodity prices has also led to a collapse of the values in many African currencies. From Cape Town to Cairo, Dakar to Mombasa, many currencies have seen significant falls in value. In Zambia, a national day of prayer was even devoted to the struggling kwacha. The build-up and eventual decision of the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates hit emerging market currencies as well. That was of particular significance for the South African rand, which wasn't helped by the debacle of switching finance ministers not once, but twice in December. In Nigeria last year, the central bank introduced foreign exchange controls to try and support the naira, creating a de facto peg for the naira against the US dollar. The risk is that analysts believe the level of that peg is too high, which could mean another devaluation of the naira if low oil prices persist throughout 2016. Africa's other big oil exporter, Angola, also has similar issues with its currency. In 2016, central banks throughout Africa will need to finely balance the need to increase interest rates with the need to support economic growth however they can. This could be the sleeping lion. And if it's rudely awakened, Africa could get a serious fright. A few years ago, many African governments started issuing Eurobonds (bonds issued in a foreign currency) as a way to raise money. Nigeria, Zambia and Kenya are just a few to have tested their money-raising luck on global markets. Interest payments on some of these Eurobonds are due this year - and those payments have to be paid in US dollars. That's not great if your local currency has lost up to half of its value against the dollar. As investors have become increasingly worried about the ability of some African governments to repay their Eurobonds, the credit ratings of many countries have been sliding to near-junk and junk status. That in itself pushes up borrowing costs to levels that governments hadn't predicted when they all merrily jumped on the Eurobond wagon just a few years ago. For example, Zambia issued its first Eurobond in 2012 at 5.4%. Falling copper prices, a power crisis and a credit rating downgrade meant that investors felt lending money to Zambia in 2015 was more risky than it was in 2012. Hence, when the country issued its third Eurobond last year, the rate was 8.5%. Zambia now has to make those dramatically increased interest payments from declining tax revenues. This could be the biggest crisis to hit African economies for some time, especially in eastern and southern Africa. Just looking at the numbers should set alarm bells ringing: Almost two-thirds of the world's arable land is in Africa. A similar proportion of the African labour force is involved in agriculture and, according to the World Bank, at least 32% of Africa's GDP is based on farming in one way or another. The El Nino weather phenomenon is causing widespread high temperatures and low rainfall. The United Nations says 29 million people in southern Africa do not have a reliable food supply and 10 million in east Africa will need food aid this year. In South Africa, for example, the outlook is bleak. The window for planting is rapidly closing and precious little rain has fallen on soil baked by soaring temperatures. The 2016 harvest in many southern African countries could be a fraction of what it was just a few years ago and spending to import grain will have to be on several government budgets. Maize prices are already approaching record levels, with much food price inflation set to follow. Generally, 2016 seems set to be the toughest year for African economies for some time. And that's not as if 2015 wasn't hard enough for many. But there are always some winners amongst the losers; some silver linings to the darkest of clouds. Anyone exporting manufactured good from Africa should benefit from the stronger US dollar, as long as most of their inputs are locally sourced. In politics, many see a few of the leaders that have emerged in the past year as a reason to be hopeful for certain economies People are taking notice of the efforts being made by Presidents Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, John Magufuli in Tanzania and Macky Sall in Senegal. Their crackdowns on government excess and waste have provided some analysts with the hope that those economies, particularly Africa's largest Nigeria, can find a more solid footing in what's going to be a very uncertain 2016. Also, the fact that Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), kicked off her New Year with a visit to Africa could be seen as a positive sign that the large international financial organisations are at least aware of the challenges being faced by Africa and are ready to provide assistance quickly. There'll be no shortage of hope this year for African economies: Hope that China recovers somewhat; hope that commodity demand and prices pick up; hope that currencies stabilise; and hope that rain will fall. What's required of the continent's governments are strategies that prepare for the worst. If that means further radical economic reforms or funds from the likes of the IMF, then so be it. The first duty of any government is the welfare of its citizens, all of it citizens. Making the right decisions to ensure the economic well-being of those citizens should be priority number one for 2016. Thousands of people gathered to watch the demolition, which happened at noon. The 149m-tall chimney stacks had dominated the local skyline for the past 50 years. The power station, which Scottish Power said generated 150 terawatt hours of electricity in its lifetime, was decommissioned in March 2013. Each of the chimney stacks had 150 holes drilled in it, which were then filled with explosives. The power station's turbine hall was also demolished, with the boiler house due to come down at a later date. The "button press", which started the demolition of both chimneys, was carried out by East Lothian resident Donald McCulloch, who won a charity raffle. An exclusion zone was in place from 09:00 to ensure that the demolition was carried out safely. A flotilla of boats gathered in the Firth of Forth to watch the demolition, with many more people gathering at surrounding vantage points, including Portobello Beach. The safety restrictions covered the Greenhills, sections of Edinburgh Road and the John Muir Way, as well as extending into the Firth of Forth. There were also traffic restrictions around the power station from 07:00. The twin chimney stacks were constructed in time for the coal station opening in 1967. The turbine hall structure is predominantly made of steel. The most revolutionary involves two leagues of 12 teams, splitting into three divisions of eight halfway through the season. Another involves a two-division Super League, and the third a Super League and Championship with one club promoted and relegated each season. Option 1 - Super League reverts to a 12-team competition (from 14) and a 10 or 12-team Championship, with one club promoted and relegated each year Option 2 - A two-division Super League with each division comprising 10 teams Option 3 - Two divisions of 12 in Super League, with teams playing each other once to provide 11 fixtures before splitting into three groups of eight in mid-season and then playing each other home and away to provide 14 more matches However, no changes can be introduced until the start of the 2015 season. Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood said: "The interest already shown in these ideas has been very encouraging and I believe these new proposals will produce positive change and innovation across the whole sport." Places in Super League have been subject to a licensing system since 2009, with 14 clubs granted three-year licences (2009-11 and 2012-14), during which time they cannot be relegated. However, some clubs, particularly those at the top of the Championship, want a return to regular promotion and relegation. All Super League and Championship clubs have been consulted and a proposal to maintain the status quo was rejected. The new options are as follows: Option 1 - Super League reverts to a 12-team competition (from 14) and a 10 or 12-team Championship, with one club promoted and relegated each year. Option 2 - A two-division Super League with each division comprising 10 teams. Option 3 - Two divisions of 12 in Super League, with teams playing each other once to provide 11 fixtures before splitting into three groups of eight in mid-season and then playing each other home and away to provide 14 more matches. Each of the three groups in the third option would conclude with a play-off series and a Grand Final or play-off final. The final standings at the end of the regular season would determine the make-up of the two 12-team divisions for the following season. The third option would mean two teams being relegated from Super League at the end of next season. Wood added: "I do believe that we need to create a pathway into Super League but it is essential that we are mindful of the challenges that a straight reintroduction of promotion and relegation between part-time and full-time leagues would create. "While there is a recognition that the time is right for change, we fully understand the need to avoid destabilising the excellent progress that has been made in recent years." The RFL has used research from sports industry financial experts KPMG in drafting its proposals. A statement from promoters confirmed the gig was off but pointed out that the incident was in no way related to the grime MC. Wiley was due to perform at The Garage in north London as part of his Snakes and Ladders tour. The show has been moved to "early 2015" or ticket holders can get a refund from their vendor. A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that on Monday night a 25-year-old man was admitted to hospital suffering from a gunshot wound, following an incident outside The Garage. The man is said to be in a stable condition and it's not believed his injuries are life threatening. No arrests have been made. Wiley was due on stage on Tuesday night with support from Mobo-winning grime MC Stormzy. In a series of tweets Wiley said the cancellation was beyond his control. The MC wrote: "Some things that happen are totally out of your power." Wiley was also due in Birmingham on Thursday and Manchester on Friday but those shows have also been called off, a spokesperson for concert promoters SJM confirmed. They said: "Following an incident which took place outside The Garage in London last night, the main venue is unable to open this evening. "It is with regret that the venue has no option other than to cancel tonight's Wiley show, which is a decision in no way related to Wiley, his management team or his support acts." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Azhar, 31, became ODI skipper after the 2015 World Cup, and led the side to 12 wins and 18 defeats in the format. He will be replaced by wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfraz Ahmed, 29, who already leads the Twenty20 side. Pakistan next visit West Indies at the end of March to play two T20 games, three ODIs and three Tests. They currently sit eighth in the International Cricket Council's ODI team rankings, but are only three points above West Indies - and only the top eight teams on the cut-off date of 30 September 2017 will automatically qualify for the 2019 World Cup. Though he is set to continue in the side as a batsman, Azhar will be suspended for the first ODI of the West Indies series after he was punished for a slow over-rate in Australia. Veteran batsman Misbah-ul-Haq, who continues to captain the Test side, will turn 43 soon after the Caribbean tour ends in May. In December 2015, Azhar offered to resign over the presence at a training camp of pace bowler Mohammad Amir - who has since returned to international cricket after being jailed and banned for five years for his part in a spot-fixing scandal - but the Pakistan Cricket Board rejected his offer to quit. That film, The Eagle Huntress, directed by British journalist Otto Bell, has now made more than $1.5m (£1.2m) at the US box office in six weeks and is among the 15 documentaries in the running for this year's Oscars. The real-life story, narrated by Ridley, follows the then 13-year-old Aisholpan as she trains with her father to become the first female eagle hunter in 12 generations of her family, breaking the centuries-old tradition that says the skill is handed down from father to son. "When I was first sent the film, I ended up curled into a ball, crying and then calling my mum," Ridley recalls. " I was just completely blown away. And so I just had to call Otto and say, 'how can I help you?'" Bell remembers that both he and the film's other executive producer, Morgan Spurlock, called the resilient and independent Aisholpan "a real life Rey" - but Ridley says that was not why she got on board. "It just reminded me of me and my own relationship with my dad, and how unflinching he was in his support of me wanting to become an actress," she explains. "That to me is the real heart of the film. I think people will realise the hidden gem of the film is this family and their relationships with each other. "However, this little girl, Aisholpan, is genuinely inspirational. People are very kind about me as a role model, but all I do is play characters. "This little girl is breaking down hundreds of years of gender disparity and she doesn't think she is doing anything huge. I think this film is going to affect many girls." Otto Bell set off for Mongolia on a whim two years ago after photographs of Aisholpan and an eagle surfaced on the BBC website under the headline A 13-year-old Eagle Huntress in Mongolia. "I tracked down the family eventually - it's hard because they are nomadic - and Aisholpan's father Nurgaiv said, 'Well, today we are going to capture an eagle for Aisholpan, are you interested in filming that?' "So the first day's filming was watching Aisholpan climb down a rocky crevice on a single length of rope, down to an eagle's nest. It was a health and safety nightmare." The film also documents Aisholpan becoming the first female to ever complete in the region's annual eagle hunting festival, before taking her eagle for its first kill onto the icy steppes in conditions of -25C. Bell says Aisholpan was "treated with some pretty ugly derision from the elders to start with". He adds: "Her father tried to insulate her from the worst of it. But now they can see she is actually the real deal, that she really is a huntress, there's a lot more acceptance." Daisy Ridley comments: "She takes it all in her stride. I just have huge respect for the way she goes about everything. She barely has a presence on social media, she does it because she wants to, not because she wants to be recognised for it. "In a world where so much is about what you look like, this film is about her dreams and her passion. It's about her soul, and that's wonderful in a world full of superficial images." The rights to The Eagle Huntress have been sold to Hollywood to make the story into an animated film, and as profit participants in the documentary, Aisholpan's family now has enough money for her to achieve her other ambition - to become a surgeon. Otto Bell says he would "like to see the film in schools 20 years from now, telling girls and boys of what they can achieve if they put their minds to it". Ridley agrees there is a valuable message there for female pupils. "When I was growing up, I didn't feel stereotyped, I went to a school heavily weighted towards girls and my parents were wonderful," she says. "Yet there is sometimes a hesitation with girls reaching out for what we want. But then you have Aisholpan, not even questioning whether she can do it or not. Could I have done all this at 13? Absolutely not." "She really is dauntless," Bell confirms. "There's a real duality to her character, because in some ways she's a teenager who loves to giggle with her friends and paint her nails. "But as soon as she's with her eagle, she becomes this steely character determined to win. When you see her ploughing through the snow, with this heavy burden of a bird, she inspired us all, despite the horrendous conditions, to actually finish the film."

Mrs Clinton sought to cast herself as the protector of Barack Obama's legacy, sharply attacking Mr Sanders for criticising the president. "The kind of criticism I hear from Senator Sanders, I expect from Republicans," Mrs Clinton said. Nevada and South Carolina, states with large minority populations, vote next. Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders are competing to be the Democratic party candidate in November's presidential election. At the PBS NewsHour televised debate, Mrs Clinton repeatedly emphasised her ties to Mr Obama who is extremely popular among minority voters. Meanwhile, Mr Sanders took pains to tailor to his message of economic fairness to address disparities in black communities. Mrs Clinton also stressed her pragmatism, questioning Mr Sanders' pledges to provide universal healthcare and free higher education. "We have a special obligation to make clear what we stand for which is why we can't make promises we can't keep," Mrs Clinton said. Immigration reform was also a major topic of discussion. Both candidates supported creating a path to citizenship for the nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US and they decried a recent uptick in deportations by the Obama administration. Criticising the anti-immigrant positions of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, Mr Sanders said immigrants should not be scapegoats for economic uncertainty. "We have got to stand up to the Trumps of the world, who are trying to divide us," Mr Sanders said. Debate highlights: Mrs Clinton is trying to rebuild her campaign after Mr Sanders decisively won the New Hampshire primary. She received a much-needed endorsement from an influential bloc of black Democrats in Congress on Thursday. The Vermont senator won the New Hampshire primary by 22 percentage points and lost the Iowa caucuses narrowly, but both states have nearly all-white populations. He now faces the challenge of finding votes among the sizable Latino and black electorates in Nevada and South Carolina. But the former secretary of state has strong support among Latinos and African-Americans and is expected to do well in the two states. A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll in South Carolina gave Mrs Clinton a lead of 74 over Mr Sanders' 17 percent among black voters. On Thursday, the political action committee of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) publicly endorsed Mrs Clinton as their Democratic presidential candidate, giving an added boost to her campaign. "We must have a president that understands the racial divide, not someone who just acquired the knowledge recently but someone...who has lived it and worked through it down through the years," CBC Chairman G K Butterfield told reporters on Thursday. Recognising the need to do more to court the black vote, Mr Sanders met civil rights leader the Reverend Al Sharpton in New York on Wednesday. However, Mr Sharpton declined to say which candidate he would back after the meeting. It is still unclear who the winner of the Democratic contest will face in the Republican race, with Donald Trump, John Kasich and Ted Cruz finishing first, second and third in the New Hampshire primary. Both Republican and Democratic parties will formally name their presidential candidates at conventions in July. Americans will finally go to the polls to choose the new occupant of the White House in November. 20 February - South Carolina primary (Republican); Nevada caucus (Democrat) 23 February - Nevada caucus (R) 27 February - South Carolina primary (D) 1 March - 'Super Tuesday' - 15 states or territories decide 18-21 July - Republican convention, nominee picked 25-28 July - Democratic convention, nominee picked 8 November - US presidential elections In depth: Primary calendar Early reports quoted police as saying the avalanche buried several skiers. Bad weather had hampered the rescue operation but it has now concluded without finding any casualties, according to the latest reports. The avalanche risk at Tignes was said to be four on a scale of five, and part of the resort had been closed to skiers. The resort said on Twitter that while there had been an avalanche there was "no drama", in reply to a supportive tweet sent by France's sports minister Thierry Braillard. A journalist at the scene said it had been snowing heavily in Tignes for days and that mountain guides had been setting off preventative avalanches to try to reduce the threat. Laurence Blainey, a British tourist staying at the resort, said the Carline piste was the only one that had been open near the village where he was staying and was crowded with skiers. "We were in the queue for the ski lift when suddenly 30 or 40 ski instructors came running and told everyone just to get up the mountain. It was orderly but very very urgent," he said. Mr Blainey said he had seen footage filmed by other skiers of people on the slope digging themselves out of snow that had fallen on them. "It's quite amazing what happened. I'm feeling quite emotional," he added. Last month four snowboarders were killed when an avalanche hit an off-piste area of the same resort. Tignes said that it appeared to have been set off by a group of skiers higher up. The IOC said last week that men's 800m and women's 1500m freestyle races would be added to the swimming programme. Peaty, who won 100m breaststroke gold at last summer's Olympics, was in favour of including 50m races in breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. "Sprints engage people more than distance events," he told BBC Sport. "I don't like that there's another distance event and I don't think that's what's needed. I'm a bit disappointed." Freestyle is the only discipline to have a 50m competition at the Olympics, with breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly contested over 100m and 200m only. In previous Games, women could compete over 800m in freestyle, but not 1500m, with men contesting 1500m events, but not 800m races. And Peaty agrees with those in the sport who have suggested that one of the two longer distances could have been dropped all together. "Maybe they could have both just done a 1500m and then done away with the 800m," said the 50m world champion and world-record holder, who was speaking at the launch of his new Arena swimwear range. "You can't please everyone and I know I'm a sprinter but they're the races I always remember growing up watching the Olympics." Swimming will be among five sports to have new mixed competitions - where men and women compete against each other - at Tokyo 2020. Peaty helped guide the British team to gold and a world record as the 4x100m mixed medley relay event made its World Championship bow two years ago. "It's going to be a huge barrel of laughs," said Peaty, who won Olympic silver as part of the men's 4x100m medley relay team at Rio 2016. "I'm going to put as much focus into it as I do for my individuals because it isn't just an add-on event anymore." After a final warm-up event in Rome next week, Peaty will next target the defence of his 50m and 100m breaststroke crowns at the 2017 World Aquatics Championships. The event in Budapest, Hungary, runs from 23-30 July. Chepstow's Castle View Hotel's Michael Currey said he has had "stick about it" but insists it was meant to look like a Christmas ribbon. It "didn't go down well with everyone", he said. Monmouthshire council said it wanted the paint restored to its original colour as it is in a conservation area. Mr Currey said: "I can see it looked like the England flag from a distance which didn't go down well with everyone. We are in Wales after all. "The truth is that when we painted the red stripe on we had trouble fixing the bow. "But now we've managed to fix the bow - and it looks very festive in time for Christmas." Chepstow councillor Armand Watts, who runs a nearby hairdressers shop, said: "It's unusual, and even with the bow it still looks like the England flag." A Monmouthshire County Council spokesman said: "The Castle View Hotel is a listed building within Chepstow's conservation area. Having investigated and spoken with the proprietor we will issue an enforcement notice this week on Mr Currey which takes effect on 31 December. "This will require him to remove the bow and repaint the exterior to its original colour by 8 January."

The 27-year-old later told police the act had been a "dare", police said. Video footage showed a spray of water being thrown over the group carrying the torch in Maracaju in central Brazil. The torch relay will cover 20,000km (12,400 mile) and 300 Brazilian cities before the flame arrives in Rio de Janeiro for the Games opening ceremony. The incident comes a week after a rare jaguar was shot and killed after being used in an Olympic torch ceremony. Morbaine has already signed up Aldi and Home Bargains as tenants for the North Road development. It said it was also in talks with other retailers, including Marks and Spencer, to fill the other two available units. Highland Council officials had recommended against a mixed-use park. Cheshire-based Morbaine previously secured outline planning consent for some 55,000 sq ft of non-food retail use before seeking to expand the type of retailing allowed at the site. The new proposals include plans to build a roundabout next to the site, along the A82. Morbaine has said the development could lead to 150 new retail jobs after construction. Morbaine director Alex Brodie said: "I would like to thank the local community in Fort William and the surrounding area who have been nothing but supportive and constructive over the years and we look forward to providing them with the additional retail options that they have been asking for." He added: "We will keep the community updated on our progress and let them know more about when the retail park might be open and how local businesses can participate in the construction process." Known in Washington for his doggedness and common-sense conservatism, he beat off younger rivals to secure the Republican party's nomination for president in 2008. As a US Navy pilot, Mr McCain narrowly escaped death in July 1967 when a missile exploded near his fuel tanks, sparking a ship fire that left 134 troops dead. Three months later he was shot down over Vietnam, where he spent five years as a prisoner of war. The son of a four-star admiral, he was offered early release due to his father's prominence - but rejected it. Instead, he endured repeated beatings and torture, including two years in solitary confinement. The six-term senator now faces another grave battle, after being diagnosed with brain cancer. Mr McCain had surgery to remove a blood clot from near his left eye on 14 July, and was found to have an aggressive form of brain tumour known as glioblastoma. Well-wishes from across the political divide saw four former presidents praise his tenacity, with President Trump sending his "thoughts and prayers", and Barack Obama - his rival for the presidency in 2008 - commenting, "John McCain is an American hero... Cancer doesn't know what it's up against." Mr McCain stayed in the armed forces after his return to the US, ultimately acting as naval liaison to the Senate until his retirement in 1981. It was at this point that he moved to Arizona to embark on a political career, winning a congressional seat in 1982 and securing a Senate seat four years later. Running against George W Bush for the 2000 presidential nomination, Mr McCain's direct style won him initial support and he secured a surprise victory in the New Hampshire primary. But he was hit by a number of attacks as campaigning turned increasingly negative, and later fell out with influential members of the so-called "religious right". The choice of Christian conservative Sarah Palin as running mate for his 2008 presidential campaign was designed to win over such Republicans. Mr McCain has never been afraid to adopt a controversial position - especially since Donald Trump's emergence in politics. Though he has since hardened some of his views, he has previously attracted the ire of social conservatives for his relatively moderate views on civil unions, abortion and immigration reform. He was one of the Iraq war's strongest supporters, and backed the troop increase there known as the "surge". As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee he has been a vocal - and hawkish - force in foreign policy and military affairs. While battling Mr Obama for the White House, Mr McCain stressed his own experience in these areas and argued that he would make a far better commander-in-chief. The Arizona Senator has repeatedly criticised President Trump's warming relations with Russia, and spent New Year's Eve 2016 with Ukrainian Marines. "We stand w/them in their fight against #Putin's aggression," he tweeted then. Mr McCain withdrew his support for Mr Trump - then his party's presidential nominee - in October 2016, the day after a 2005 recording emerged of him making obscene remarks about women and appearing to trivialise sexual assault. "When Mr Trump attacks women and demeans the women in our nation and in our society, that is a point where I just have to part company," he said. In July 2017, he told CBS's Face the Nation that Russian President Vladimir Putin "got away with" trying to change the result of the 2016 US presidential election. The Republican elder has repeatedly shown himself willing to work with Democrats or vote against his party on ideological grounds, including when he voted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and against George W Bush's tax cuts. He co-sponsored a bipartisan immigration bill in 2007 which, had it passed, would have offered an amnesty to illegal immigrants as well as tougher border controls. And he was the author, with Democrat Senator Russ Feingold, of a major campaign finance reform in 2002 intended to reduce the influence of money and pressure groups in US elections. He has criticised President Trump's refugee travel ban, saying it betrays American values and "in some areas, will give Isis [Islamic State] some more propaganda". When news broke of the president's confrontational first phone call with Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Mr McCain phoned Australia's US ambassador, Joe Hockey, to express "unwavering support" for the countries' relationship. In 2017, Mr McCain travelled to war-torn Syria to visit US forces deployed there. He called the Trump administration's decision not to prioritise ending the Syrian civil war "another disgraceful chapter in American history". As news emerged of his cancer diagnosis, the senator's office said he was "in good spirits as he continues to recover at home with his family". His family reacted with "shock" to the news, his 32-year-old daughter Meghan said. "It won't surprise you to learn that in all of this, the one of us who is most confident and calm is my father," she said on Twitter. "So he is meeting this challenge as he has every other. Cancer may afflict him in many ways: but it will not make him surrender. Nothing ever has." Freda Boyd, 51, from Drumeen Drive in Garvagh, is accused of ill-treating four different people while they were in-patients for mental health disorders at Garvagh Care Home on 22 March 2014. A solicitor said she would be contesting the four charges. Ms Boyd did not attend Coleraine Magistrates Court on Friday and the pleas were entered by her solicitor. The case was adjourned for two weeks. "This is a very serious matter. This is not something I'm going to deal with in her absence," a judge told the court Ms Boyd's solicitor said there were questions to be answered as to why it had taken so long to prosecute her. Glasgow-born Smith, 21, is a product of the Welsh development system and finishes a degree at Bristol University in 2016. He has played 14 first-class matches, but missed much of the 2015 season because of injury and university studies. Smith has also represented his native Scotland. He told the club's website: "I've grown up supporting Glamorgan, so to sign a new long-term contract at the club is really pleasing for me. "There's a few of us coming up through the age groups, such as Andrew Salter and David Lloyd, and hopefully we can make an impression in the first team." Smith has a highest first-class score of 57 not out, and best bowling figures of 3-23. Glamorgan chief executive and director of cricket Hugh Morris said: "Ruaidhri is a very talented young bowler who has shown real potential since coming into the first team squad." Earlier this week, spinner Andrew Salter also signed a three-year contract extension, while experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Mark Wallace agreed a deal for a further year. Letetia Jordan, 20, of Burdett Grove, Whittlesey, left the baby with water up to her chest for at least 10 minutes last May, police said. Later she was found "not moving" in the bath, but she was eventually revived. Jordan was given an 18-month sentence, suspended for two years, having previously admitted child cruelty at Peterborough Crown Court. Elliott now leads reigning champion Willie Mullins in the Irish jump racing season's prize-money-determined title race by almost 500,000 Euro (£424,500). The highlight was the win for Empire Of Dirt (12-1) in the day's feature race for jockey Bryan Cooper. "I've never had six at one meeting on a day before," said Elliott. "I did have seven once spread between Bellewstown and Perth - I can't believe it; they were good races too. "It's a day to enjoy - I have a good bunch of staff and a lot of nice horses - we're delighted." Asked about taking the championship that Mullins has dominated for eight seasons, Elliott insisted that he had "no chance, no chance" of wrestling it away. It was a third win in a row in the Troytown for the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Grand National-winning trainer, who saddled 11 of the 25 runners. The nine-year old Empire of Dirt, running in the colours of airline tycoon Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud racing operation, has April's Aintree Grand National as a long-term aim and is currently a 33-1 shot for the race. The Gigginstown-owned Rule The World was victorious in this year's Grand National. Willie Mullins has dominated Irish jump racing in general - and many of the big national hunt races right across these islands in particular - for eight seasons, but perhaps the balance is now shifting. Mullins has the support of multi-millionaire American financier Rich Ricci - their horse Min was the only non-Elliott horse to win at Navan - but he did lose 60 horses owned by the Gigginstown House operation two or three months ago, which was a massive blow, and Elliott was one of the beneficiaries. The ex-jump jockey simply churns out runners - 27 at Navan - at a very decent winning percentage, and if he keeps up this momentum could take some catching. Though Mullins has yet to race many big guns this season. Jackson Irvine put the Brewers ahead, when he pounced on a loose ball from Matt Palmer's corner to fire under keeper Chris Maxwell. But Callum Robinson poked home Greg Cunningham's cross to dash Burton's hopes of a first away win this season. The hosts pushed hard for a winner as they dominated the second half, but Albion held on. Burton had not scored an away goal for almost seven hours, but went close twice early on when Ben Turner headed Palmer's corner against the bar and Irvine's deflected shot was pushed over by Maxwell. Irvine's goal finally broke the deadlock, but the home side came close several times before Robinson's equaliser and it was one-way traffic after the break as Tom Clarke headed onto the roof of the net and Ben Pearson sent a drive just wide Simon Grayson's side have lost just one of their past 10 Championship outings, but results elsewhere meant they fell a place to 12th in the table. Burton, who have yet to win away from home this season, moved up to 19th, but remain just a point above the relegation spots. Preston boss Simon Grayson said: "We started sloppily, they had early opportunities and got the goal. We were a long way short of our best. "Everything we didn't do in the first half we did in the second half. We passed it quicker and stopped them from playing. "If we'd started the first half as we started the second I think we'd have knocked the stuffing out of them and won the game. But we haven't and you have to earn every point in this division." Burton manager Nigel Clough: "This result will do us good in terms of our spirit, but it also shows that we have what it takes to survive in this league. "After we had dominated that match so much in the first half and had so many chances, we could have felt sorry for ourselves after half-time, but we didn't. "Our reaction to conceding that goal was terrific. We came out and showed real spirit. "Apart from one game against Reading last week we've shown that we can compete with everyone in this division."

The campaign called Love Equality is supported by lesbian and gay organisations, trades unions, student activists and Amnesty International. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where gay marriage is not legal. Last year, a majority of Assembly members voted in favour of same-sex marriage for the first time. Fifty-three MLAs supported the motion brought by the SDLP and Sinn Féin, while 52 voted against. However, the motion has been blocked after the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) deployed a petition of concern that required the proposal to achieve a cross-community majority. John O'Doherty, from the Rainbow project and one of the leaders of Love Equality, said: "Ever since the Yes vote in the Republic of Ireland, marriage equality has become a big political issue for many voters - straight and gay - in Northern Ireland." Sally Bridge and Catherine Couvert live in Belfast and would like to be married. They are in a civil partnership but want the same rights as heterosexual couples. Sally Bridge told the BBC: "I really want to get married to have the opportunity to get married. I can't say to people I am married. I have to say I am civilised - it is just very strange." However, opponents of a law change said campaigners are wrong. David Smyth of the Evangelical Alliance told the BBC: "We believe there is a common good in holding to this definition of marriage between a man and a woman that flourishes the community for everyone." Campaigners from Love Equality said they will lobby Assembly candidates in the weeks ahead. They want voters to e-mail candidates and ask them how they will vote in a future debate on marriage equality at Stormont. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and are in custody, said Thames Valley Police. The fight, involving weapons and a number of men, was in Banbury, Oxfordshire, at about 19:45 on Friday. The arrested men, aged 38 and 26, are both from Banbury. Police said it was a serious incident, but they believe there is no danger to the public. There are road closures in place in Coopers Gate and Cope Road while officers investigate. Det Insp Jon Capps urged anyone who saw a silver Volkswagen Passat in the area at the time to come forward. He said: "This was a serious incident and we continue to investigate and there are a number of scene watches in place. "We are keeping an open mind at this stage, but we do not believe that there is a wider danger to the public." The owner of the Zara fashion chain said like-for-like sales, which compare sales at stores open for at least a year, also rose 5%. The retailer plans to open new stores in London, Barcelona and several US cities, including three in New York. The company said it expected to open 420 to 480 new stores this year. Inditex also said it would invest about €1.35bn this year, compared with €1.24bn in 2014. It said the bulk of this investment continued to be earmarked for new store openings and the refurbishment and expansion of existing stores. It confirmed a strategy of closing small stores and concentrating on larger flagship stores, such as the recent purchase of a building in New York's SoHo, which will house a new flagship Zara store. The firm said up to 100 smaller stores would close this year. Inditex's biggest challenge at present is to keep up with online-only fashion websites, including Germany's Zalando and the UK's Asos. When it published half-year results in September, Inditex said Zara would be selling direct over the internet in 27 markets by the end of the month. Members of the Social Development Committee are also divided on whether free hot beverages should be reinstated to their meetings. Stewart Dickson of Alliance, said: "It might be helpful to have a cup of tea or coffee to commence the meeting." TUV leader Jim Allister said he thought members would "survive without it". "It costs £500 of taxpayers' money," he said. Ulster Unionist Roy Beggs said: "It's not the biggest problem we face at the moment". Members voted in favour of free beverages in future. Mr Allister was the only person who voted against. Don Damond said his wife-to-be, Justine Damond, was gunned down after calling police to report a possible sexual assault in their quiet neighbourhood. He said they were "desperate" to find out how Saturday's shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, happened. The officers' body cameras were not turned on at the time. The shooting happened in a relatively affluent area, where violent crime is rare. Mr Damond told a news conference outside his home on Monday evening: "Our hearts are broken and we are utterly devastated by the loss of Justine. "As you know it was Justine who called 911 on Saturday evening, reporting what she believed was an active sexual assault occurring nearby. "Sadly her family and I have been provided with almost no additional information from law enforcement regarding what happened after police arrived." Mr Damond continued: "Our lives are forever changed as a result of knowing her. She was so kind and so darn funny." Forty-year-old Ms Damond was living in Minneapolis with her fiancé, whose surname she had already adopted. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, citing three sources with knowledge of the incident, reported that Ms Damond was dressed in her pyjamas and approached the driver's side door to talk to the officer at the wheel after police arrived. The officer in the passenger seat, identified by local media as Mohamed Noor, drew his gun and shot Ms Damond through the driver's window, the newspaper reported. Mr Noor's lawyer, Tom Plunkett, confirmed on Monday that his client had fired his weapon, killing Ms Damond. Ms Damond's stepson, Zach, railed against police in a Facebook video. "America sucks," he said. "These cops need to get trained differently. I need to move out of here." The Department of Public Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said an investigation is under way and authorities are looking into whether there is any video of the incident. Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau called Damond's death "tragic" in a statement on Monday. "I've asked for the investigation to be expedited to provide transparency and to answer as many questions as quickly as we can," she said. The two officers involved in the shooting are on paid administrative leave. Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said she was "heartsick and deeply disturbed". She told a news conference: "I share the same questions other people have about why we don't have body camera footage of it, and I hope to get answers to that in the days coming." Ms Damond, nee Justine Ruszczyk, taught meditation classes at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community in Minneapolis. She studied to be a veterinarian before relocating to the US, where she is believed to have been for at least the last three years. According to her website, she is a "qualified yoga instructor, a personal health and life coach and meditation teacher". About 200 neighbours, family members and residents gathered for a vigil on Sunday night where she died. Over the past few years the US has seen a series of civilian killings at the hands of police that have caused widespread concern and criticism. The amendment gives Czechs the right to use firearms during terrorist attacks. It was passed by the lower house by a big majority, and is likewise expected to be approved by the upper house. The move by parliament is a challenge to EU gun control rules which restrict civilians from possessing certain kinds of semi-automatic weapons. The EU argues its move is a much-needed counter-terrorism measure. But the Czech parliament took a different view, arguing that allowing people to bear arms enables them to defend themselves against terrorism. "We don't want to disarm our citizens at a time when the security situation in Europe is getting worse," Interior Minister Milan Chovanec told parliament on Wednesday. "Show me a single terrorist attack in Europe perpetrated using a legally-owned weapon." The Czech Republic has no recent history of terror attacks, although other countries in the European Union have. The European Commission agreed tougher gun control rules in December - they were approved by EU interior ministers four months later in spite of objections from the Czech Republic, Luxembourg and Poland. In 2017, there were more than 800,000 firearms - many of them antiques in museums - registered in the Czech Republic, a country with a population of 10.6 million. Many Czechs in rural areas also carry firearms for use when hunting. More than 400 complete skeletons were found together with parts from about 1,000 bodies during work on St John's College in 2010 to 2012. The remains, dating from the 13th to 15th Centuries, are burials from the Hospital of St John the Evangelist. Images of the skeletons have been made public for the first time. The dig beneath the Old Divinity School at St John's was led by Dr Craig Cessford, from the university's department of archaeology and anthropology, and a team from Cambridge Archaeological Unit. Dr Cessford described it as "one of the largest medieval hospital osteoarchaeological assemblages from the British Isles". Most of the bodies were buried in neatly laid-out rows between gravel paths. Seeds from flowering plants suggested the site was similar to cemeteries today, Dr Cessford said. However, the majority of people were buried without coffins and many were not shrouded, suggesting the cemetery was primarily used to inter the poor. Only a handful of grave goods, such as jewellery or other personal items, were found. It had been rumoured the cemetery was linked to the Black Death, but Dr Cessford's team found no evidence of the disease when the skeletons were analysed. The remains will be stored by Cambridge Archaeological Unit, enabling further research to take place in the future. Surrey County Council approved the cost cuts after a public consultation. The charges will apply to tyres, large gas bottles and larger loads of waste such as rubble, plasterboard and soil. There will be no charge for asbestos. Opposition Liberal Democrats said the measures would lead to more flytipping but the Conservatives dispute this. Councillor Hazel Watson, leader of the Liberal Democrats, said the "flawed decision" was unpopular with residents, as shown in a petition to the Conservative-run authority signed by more than 1,200 people. She claimed the changes would discourage recycling. Councillor Mike Goodman, cabinet member for environment and planning, said all of the county's 15 recycling centres would be retained, but some would "open a little later and close a little earlier", and others would close for "the odd day". "If closed, the public will be able to use another site close by," he said. The council said the new charges would help recoup the £1.3m annual cost to taxpayers of disposing of the items. The changes are due to be implemented early next year. Regular assessments were recommended in Andreas Lubitz's official notes after a serious episode some years ago. The Barcelona-Duesseldorf plane crashed on Tuesday, killing 150 people. Data from the plane's voice recorder suggest Mr Lubitz purposely started a descent as the pilot was locked out of the cockpit. Several airlines have now pledged to change their rules to ensure at least two crew members are present in the cockpit at all times. Police have searched two German properties used by Mr Lubitz, taking away boxes and a computer. When Mr Lubitz finished training in 2009, he was diagnosed with a serious depressive episode and went on to receive treatment for a year and a half, the German news site Bild reports. Internal documents quoted by Bild and German broadcaster ARD say a note on Mr Lubitz's aviation authority file recommended regular psychological assessment. Who was Andreas Lubitz? Mr Lubitz's employers have confirmed that his training was interrupted for several months six years ago. But they have not said why. Carsten Spohr - the head of Lufthansa, the German carrier that owns Germanwings - said on Thursday that Mr Lubitz was only able to resume training after his suitability was "re-established". "He passed all the subsequent tests and checks with flying colours," Mr Spohr was quoted as saying. German media are also reporting that investigators have found evidence of mental health problems at Mr Lubitz's Duesseldorf flat. Earlier, another media report quoted a police spokesman as saying "a very significant clue as to what has happened" had been found during the search of the house the 27-year-old shared with his parents in Montabaur, north of Frankfurt, without specifying what. Police said the discovery was not a suicide note. French Prime Minister Manual Valls said the investigation was ongoing, but that "everything is pointing to a criminal, crazy, suicidal action that we cannot comprehend". He said investigators and Lufthansa would have to "shed light on the career and profile of this pilot". Police continued to come and go at the Montabaur house throughout Thursday morning, reports the BBC's Anna Holligan who is outside. She says there are concerns for Mr Lubitz's parents, who have suffered not just one trauma - their son dying in a crash - but the subsequent shock of finding out he may have been responsible for the tragedy. Based on data from the recovered "black box" voice recorder, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said on Thursday that Mr Lubitz appeared to want to "destroy the plane". The evidence suggested the pilot had left the cockpit, probably to go to the toilet, during which the door was barred. He fought unsuccessfully to get back in, he said. Bild quotes security sources as saying that the pilot used an axe to try to break down the door. A Germanwings spokesperson would only confirm that an emergency axe is part of the equipment on board an A320. What happened in the final half hour? Family members of some of the 150 passengers and crew who died have visited Seyne-les-Alpes, near the crash site, reported Reuters news agency. They were accompanied by psychologists, paramedics and Red Cross workers, and a youth centre in the town was set up to receive them, it said. Families are providing DNA samples to allow for identification of victims' remains. Meanwhile, investigators continue to comb the crash site for body parts, debris and the second "black box", which records flight data and still has not been found three days after the plane crashed. Members of the Westerwald flight club, where the co-pilot was a member, expressed their shock at the revelations about Mr Lubitz's mental history. "Andreas was a very nice young man, who did his training here. He was part of the club," Peter Reucker said. "[He was] funny, sometimes a bit quiet, but apart from that a young man like many others that we have here. He integrated well. "I'm absolutely speechless. I have no explanation for this," Mr Reucker added. Source: Aviation Safety Network The home in Lichfield Road, and another one in Stacey Drive, both run by Real Life Options, have been rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commission. They did not have registered managers in position or had enough staff when inspectors visited. Real Life Options said it is working on an improvement plan with the CQC. The Lichfield Road centre provides care for five people with learning disabilities or mental health support needs. Inspectors who visited in September reported: "We saw staff treating people with limited respect and did not communicate well with people who did not use verbal communication," the report said. Inspectors visited the Stacey Drive site in August. The centre provides support for up to 12 people with learning disabilities and/or mental health needs. Inspectors found: Inspectors did report people told them they were happy at the home and also said staff acted with a "positive regard" for the people they were reporting. Brian Hutchinson, chief executive of Real Life Options: "We apologise to the people we support and their families for any concerns regarding the quality of care they received and wish to assure that all measures to deliver improvements identified by the CQC are firmly in place." The plans will be shared and discussed with residents and families, he said. Since 2010, the four main banks have closed 193 branches, according to figures obtained by BBC Wales. Fifty years since the first UK cash machine launched, banks said they were adapting to a rise in online banking. But Ron Delnevo, of ATM Industry Association (ATMIA), said without access to cash "communities could die". The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) said independent businesses relied on banks for services, and poor broadband in rural parts of Wales made it difficult for people to manage finances online. By the end of 2017, 28 more banks will have closed in Wales - with Lloyds to shut 14, Natwest 12 and Barclays and HSBC one each - meaning 221 will have closed in seven years, In comparison, since 2008, the number of cash machines has risen from 2,660 to 3,223 - up 21%, according to figures from cash machine network Link. Mr Delnevo, ATMIA's executive director for Europe, said while banks were pushing for people to go digital, many transactions were still cash-based and businesses needed access to services to survive. He said cash machines needed to provide more services - such as paying in, cashing cheques and offering financial advice - to help communities who have been, or will be in the future, left without access to a bank. "The trouble is with bank branches closing, we are then going to see communities crushed," he said. "We know that people then go elsewhere to get cash out. It is very important that we do not see dead communities, places where people just sleep." In Dubai customers can withdraw gold from ATMs; in South Africa they are used to take out funeral plans; in Spain to pay property tax; in America stamps can be bought; while in Portugal applications can be made for fishing and hunting licences. But Mr Delnevo said the range of services offered by ATMs in the UK was still very limited, with the terminals synonymous with cash withdrawal. He said they should instead expand to become multi-purpose ATMs with facilities for depositing cash, similar to some other countries. "Just because a bank isn't there, it doesn't mean that the community shouldn't have access to cash and other services," he said. "We can't argue with the banks, they want to go digital, but people aren't ready for it. " The banks said while the decisions to close branches were not taken lightly, demand for traditional branch-based services was falling. Many traditional services can still be carried out at Post Office branches, through a partnership with the banks. The mayor of Charlottesville said he was "heartbroken" at the loss. It is not clear if the death came when a car rammed a crowd of opponents of the far-right rally, injuring several. The "Unite the Right" march was called to protest against plans to remove a statue of a Civil War general. A state of emergency has been declared. President Donald Trump condemned "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides". "The hate and the division must stop right now," he told reporters, speaking in New Jersey, where he is on a working holiday. "We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation." Video posted on social media showed a car ploughing at speed into several slow-moving vehicles, which were surrounded by a densely packed crowd. Emergency services were pictured treating a number of people who were injured. Some reports suggest there are as many as 10 people wounded. A witness said one girl got "tore up" after the car "backed up and hit again". Earlier, police fired tear gas against demonstrators and said that arrests had been made after a declaration of unlawful assembly at Emancipation Park. The state of emergency allows local authorities to request additional resources if needed, the police department said. The far-right protesters, some waving Confederate flags, carrying shields and wearing helmets, are angry about the planned removal of a statue of Gen Robert E Lee from Charlottesville. Gen Lee commanded the pro-slavery Confederate forces in the US Civil War of 1861-65. The New York Times reports that some of them were chanting "You will not replace us," and "Jew will not replace us." Anti-racism organisations such as Black Lives Matter have also held marches. By Joel Gunter, BBC News, Charlottesville There were very violent scenes at Emancipation Park and it took some time for the police to intervene. Both sides were throwing bottles and rocks and using pepper spray. The far-right protesters were a mix of different groups with shields and batons and the declaration of a state of emergency seemed to have had a significant impact on them, as they started to dissipate. Riot police have been deployed, but tensions remain high, with people screaming at each other and demonstrators still out on the streets. Shiquan Rah, a 21-year-old demonstrator who had joined the counter-protest, said about the far-right groups: "These people don't have a message, their message is hate and violence. This is a spiritual war we're in. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe urged calm tweeting: "The acts and rhetoric in #Charlottesville over past 24 hours are unacceptable [and] must stop. A right to speech is not a right to violence." Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer had earlier called the rally a "parade of hatred, bigotry, racism and intolerance". The rise of the alt-right The hoax about desecration of US Civil War graves On Friday, the white nationalists held lit torches - which some observers described as a reference to the Ku Klux Klan - and chanted "White lives matter" as they marched through the University of Virginia in the city. Charlottesville is considered a liberal college town - and 86% of the county voted for Hillary Clinton in last year's presidential elections. However, the town has become a focal point for white nationalists after the city council voted to remove a statue of Gen Lee. Some observers also argue that Mr Trump's election to the White House re-energised the far right across the US. The vote against council leader Kevin Madge and deputy leader Meryl Gravell was lost 28 votes to 41. Councillors agreed to accept the findings of a Wales Audit Office (WAO) report which ruled payments made to its chief executive were "unlawful". Mr Madge admitted the situation had damaged the authority. "We will learn from this, we'll move forward and we'll deliver for the people of Carmarthenshire the things that we promised them and we'll carry on in the next years to come," Mr Madge said before the vote. Pembrokeshire council, which was also criticised by the WAO over similar "unlawful" pension payments, has already agreed to accept its report. Carmarthenshire council's chief executive Mark James has stepped aside while police investigate why he was allowed to opt out of a pension scheme and receive cash instead. Payments for this and for libel action costs were unlawful, the WAO ruled. The council has defended its actions and welcomed the police investigation. The meeting saw tense exchanges between councillors. Plaid Cymru councillor Darren Price told the chamber: "This council's name has been dragged through the mud. "The chief executive is no longer at his desk. Members are at others' throats. "Valuable officer and member time has been wasted and redirected away from what we are here to do and that is to provide quality services to the people of Carmarthenshire. And the question to those who made the decision is - was it really worth it?" Mr James maintains that neither he nor any of his officers had done anything wrong. He has also said it was "right and proper" he should not be at work while Gloucestershire Police conclude their inquiries. Auditors said Carmarthenshire council acted unlawfully when it indemnified Mr James in a libel counter-claim he brought against blogger Jacqui Thompson. Mr James won the case and Mrs Thompson was ordered to pay costs of £23,217. The row began when the blogger was arrested after filming a council meeting on her mobile phone. On Thursday, councillors agreed to withdraw the provision in the council constitution which allowed such indemnities to be granted. The motion also said the council recognised that "the legal position is still as yet unresolved". The WAO's Anthony Barrett said: "The council's accepted the recommendations in both reports so that's very much an end of it from my point of view. "It clearly isn't for the council, they've got some things to look at from the governance arrangements etc and we will be monitoring that very closely." The Wales Audit Office also found Pembrokeshire council made "unlawful" payments to its chief executive Bryn Parry Jones and another Pembrokeshire official. Despite calls for him to step aside, Mr Parry Jones has said he will remain at work while police investigate the matter. Pembrokeshire, which has also vigorously defended the payments, has already held an extraordinary meeting to debate the rulings. A full meeting of that authority earlier this month was due to vote on suspending Mr Parry Jones, but a number of councillors staged a walk-out after allegations that some people had already pre-determined the outcome. Meanwhile, two senior council officers at Caerphilly council in south Wales are due in court in April on charges following a police investigation into pay rises they received. Chief executive Anthony O'Sullivan and his deputy Nigel Barnett face charges of alleged misconduct in a public office. Wong and two others climbed over a fence into the forecourt of the Hong Kong government complex on 26 September 2014. Their arrest helped trigger mass pro-democracy rallies that occupied parts of the city for more than two months. The movement called on Beijing to allow fully free elections for the leader of the semi-autonomous territory. Many in Hong Kong feel the chief-executive - currently chosen by a 1,200-member election committee largely viewed as pro-Beijing - should be chosen by a democratic vote. In August 2014, the Chinese government said it would allow the chief executive to be elected by the public - but that only pre-approved candidates would be eligible to stand. This sparked the mass street protests and sit-ins, that became known as the Occupy Central movement. In mid-December of 2014 police dismantled the main occupation sites with the pro-democracy side winning no concessions from Beijing. Hong Kong's democracy debate Wong, 19, became the face of the movement, which was driven in large part by youth in Hong Kong. He faces up to two years in prison. He was cleared of a second charge of incitement. Student activist Alex Chow was also found guilty of "taking part in an unlawful assembly" and Nathan Law was found guilty of "inciting others to take part in an unlawful assembly". All three were released on bail to be sentenced on 15 August. Speaking outside the court house, Wong told reporters he had been prepared for the verdict and that the fight for democracy was a long-term battle. Wong and Law are now leaders of a new political party, Demosisto, but if they are imprisoned this could well end their hopes of taking part in elections to the Hong Kong legislature in September, BBC Chinese's Martin Yip in Hong Kong says. Kevin O'Brien made 75 and Simi Singh 70 not out as Leinster scored 286 off 49.2 overs, with Craig Young taking 4-50. North West were all out for 181 off 44.2 overs in reply, Sri Lankan Irosh Samaraasooriya top-scoring with 77. Ricki-Lee Dougherty contributed 42, while Ireland international George Dockrell ended with figures of 3-37. Leinster are attempting to make it a treble of clean sweeps in the interprovincial tournaments this season and this victory gives them the start they had hoped for in the Inter-Pro Cup. They will face North West Warriors again in a Twenty20 fixture at Bready on 26 May, with Munster Reds facing Northern Knights on the same date. Ireland's Interprovincial Championship, plus their Twenty20 and 50-over formats were granted first-class status by the ICC in October. It was the first time a domestic competition had been given first-class status outside a Test-playing country. Monday's NCU Twenty20 results North Down v Waringstown North Down 146-6 R Pretorius 60 Waringstown 149-3 (17.2 overs) J Hall 47 Waringstown won by seven wickets Carrickfergus v CIYMS Carrickfergus 154 R Eagleson 30 no CIYMS 156-1 (19.2 overs) C Dougherty 83 CIYMS won by nine wickets Col Oliver Lee said he is "extremely pleased" that the case will be heard by the Courts Martial Appeal Court for a second time. He resigned in protest after Blackman was convicted of murdering a Taliban insurgent at a court martial in 2013. Blackman, 42, from Taunton, was known during his trial as Marine A. Col Lee said the circumstances surrounding the killing needed to be reconsidered. "A much more balanced and full picture of the situation in which he found himself needed to be presented," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Blackman applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) after his earlier appeal was dismissed in 2014, which referred the conviction to the court after an 11-month investigation. The court will look at new expert evidence relating to Blackman's mental state at the time of the killing. It will also consider that the alternative verdict of "unlawful act manslaughter" was not available at his original trial. Col Lee said the court martial should have taken greater account of the acute stress Blackman was under at the time. "I don't seek to condone his behaviour or exonerate him from his responsibilities," he said. "I took a view that the proceedings against Sgt Blackman hadn't been balanced." David James Smith, lead CCRC commissioner on the case, said there was a "real possibility" that Blackman's second appeal would be successful. "There are new issues - principally relating to Mr Blackman's state of mind at the time of the shooting," he said. The killing on 15 September 2011 took place after a patrol base in Helmand province came under fire from two insurgents. One of the attackers was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support, and the marines found him in a field. Footage from the helmet-mounted camera of another marine in his unit, 42 Commando, showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner in the chest at close range with a 9mm pistol. Blackman was convicted of murder in November 2013 and jailed for life. He lost an appeal in May of the following year, but his 10-year minimum term was reduced to eight years. Col Lee asked that "his case is considered in the round, in the broadest sense, such that he is dealt with in a fair manner." No sooner had Labour's UK manifesto arrived, with a pledge to work with the Welsh Government to scrap the tolls, than the Conservatives made a similar pledge. Or, to be precise, a press release arrived bearing the headline: "Theresa May: I will abolish tolls on Severn Crossings between Wales and England." The Conservatives put the cost of maintaining the bridges - which will be done by Highways England - at just £7m. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and UKIP were swift to point out the Conservatives had stolen another one of their policies. The Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru pointed out that they too wanted to scrap tolls. Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan. Labour's manifesto looks rather similar to last week's leaked version. The paragraph on Wales has been beefed up to include the promise of a new Wales Act. "We will bring forward legislation to make the devolution settlement more sustainable as set out by the Welsh Labour government in its alternative Wales Bill, including the devolution of policing." Professor Richard Wyn Jones saw that as a "significant victory" for Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones as the party accepted proposals in a shadow Bill recently rejected by Welsh Labour MPs. The alternative Bill will presumably be vying for parliamentary space with the legislation needed for Brexit. The final manifesto also includes the draft version's "presumption of devolution" when powers return from Brussels and a promise to make up the shortfall of EU funds. Richard Wyn Jones views the presumption of devolution as "another victory" for Carwyn Jones. The first minister himself said the value of the "beefed-up Welsh Labour presence" in the manifesto process was clear to see. "Significant support for our key priorities-economy, infrastructure and power closer to the people." He said the Welsh party would build on the plans in its manifesto, which is due to be published on 22 May. Although the UK version is not Welsh Labour's manifesto, it does feature policies that would have a wide impact on people in Wales - from the reversal of benefit cuts to significantly higher public spending, funded by taxation and borrowing, and the rejection of plans to increase the state pension age beyond 66. You can download the manifesto here. And find out how they plan to pay for it here. Seven members of the public were killed when a van drove into pedestrians on London Bridge, and then its occupants got out and stabbed victims at random. A photo of the three suspects - after they has been shot dead by police - is the stark image on front of the Daily Mirror and the News Letter. The Mirror condemns them as "monsters". It compares the actions of the three suspects with the bravery of unarmed police and members of the public who tried to fight back against the attackers. The paper reports how a British Transport Police officer was stabbed in the head and leg after he "took on the killers" with only a baton to defend himself from 10-in (25-cm) knives. "Enough is enough," says the News Letter's front page, quoting Prime Minister Theresa May after the third attack in England in as many months. It reports how Mrs May has vowed to crack down on "tolerance of extremism" by forcing internet companies to do more to prevent the spread of propaganda. The News Letter also comments on the strength of the police response, noting how officers fired an "unprecedented" 50 bullets in a public place to kill the suspects. The Irish News dedicates its first seven pages to the recent attacks in England, including Sunday's star-studded benefit concert for victims of the Manchester bombing. It says US singer Ariana Grande changed her set list for the One Love Manchester concert, after the mother of one of the teenage victims told the pop star her late daughter would have "wanted to hear the hits". The Belfast Telegraph opts for a dual image on its front page - showing the singer trying to comfort Manchester's victims as a casualty from the London attack is taken to hospital. "Bloodied... but unbowed," is the paper's headline and in a small show of solidarity, it notes how police officers and security guards could be seen dancing with the crowd at the benefit gig. Closer to home, the dailies report the sudden death of Prof Patrick Johnston, Vice Chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast. The Irish News carries a statement from Queen's conveying staff's "deep sense of shock" over the unexpected death of the 58-year-old "visionary". The paper says he is a "real loss to cancer research" as he was one of the driving forces behind QUB's Centre for Cancer Research. The Mirror and others report how more than 1,300 health workers in Northern Ireland are being paid less than the National Living Wage. The Department of Health has admitted staff still have not received the rise they were due in April, but has promised to rectify their pay packets by next month. Gossipers beware - your own "rail life" story could be turned into a best seller and you many not even know it. Novelist Emma Heatherington has admitted to the Belfast Telegraph that she eavesdrops on her fellow passengers' conversations while travelling on buses and trains in Northern Ireland. The enterprising young writer revealed how a train trip from Belfast to Dublin provided inspiration for her latest novel. You never know who is listening... The Belfast Telegraph also carries a true tale of a picture perfect romance, kindled in the days long before Tinder and internet dating were even imagined. In the early 1950s, Tom Darcy caught sight of a photograph of his future wife, Pam, and was so impressed, he began writing to her. Within eight short months of meeting face to face, the pen pals got married and this week they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Old romantic Tom still has the best lines, telling the paper: "It's been nothing but nice all the way." The record of 12.4C (54F) is the highest average annual temperature since records began in 1947. Senior Met Officer Martin Crozier said the winter was behind the high. He said: "We had a pretty warm spring, the summer was okay, but August was actually a bit below normal temperature." Mr Crozier said: "The new record is in place not so much because of the heat of the summer but because we never really had any cold weather at all." Two hundred mayors and lord mayors in full regalia paraded through Halifax which was chosen as the main focus for this year's celebration. Elsewhere, a Yorkshire pudding tossing competition was held in York. Yorkshire Day was first celebrated on 1 August 1975. One of the key features of the day is the reading of the Yorkshire Declaration of Integrity. Geraldine Carter, deputy mayor of Calderdale, said: "It's fabulous, look at all the people who have turned out, it's a wonderful occasion. "It's really good for the town and Calderdale after the floods, it's important Halifax gets on the map." Calderdale Council said it would be flying the Yorkshire flag at Halifax Town Hall from sunrise to sunset. Among the dozens of other Yorkshire Day events, York Maze hosted an annual Yorkshire pudding tossing competition. Organisers said the winning throw at 2015's event was a distance of 34m (112ft). The owner of Hanley's Hole In The Wall, Glenn Fowler, has run the shop for nearly 30 years and said the decision to shut was unavoidable. He said: "I can't start to tell you how emotional it is, I'm dreading it." Over 5,000 people signed a petition to save the building in 2008 when it was threatened with demolition as part of regeneration in North Staffordshire. The regeneration programmeRenew North Staffordshirebegan in 2004 with the aim of investing £2.3bn over 15 years to help the housing market in the area. Mr Fowler has sold the building, which the shop has occupied for more than 100 years, to Stoke-on-Trent City Council. He said the alternative options to move were too expensive for him and his wife Sue. "It all comes down to money and at the end of the day the money wouldn't be there - we would have had to get a mortgage," he said. "I don't think there was any way out of it." Mr Fowler added: "I've spent half my life here so it's going to be emotional, we've made some good friends here and we shall miss them very dearly. "I'm now hoping to get a part-time job to help bolster our income but we're at a complete loss and dreading the day we have to close. The Fowler family has been producing oatcakes at The Hole In The Wall since 1982 and bake in what would have been the kitchen of the end of terrace house. It used to be common for oatcakes to be sold from sash windows of homes to customers on the street. In 2009, the Hairy Bikers visited Staffordshire while filming a television series. At the time, one half of the bikers, Simon King, said: "We asked people to sum up Staffordshire in a plate of food, and they all said 'oatcake'! "Then the second breath was, 'you've got to go to The Hole in The wall oatcake shop'." The shop will close on Sunday, 25 March. The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Hove after Hampshire agreed to release him from his contract early. "I'm looking forward to joining Sussex and working with the players and coaching staff. I'm excited for the opportunities that lie ahead," he said. "I'm really grateful that Hampshire are letting me leave early. I'd like to thank the playing staff and the coaches that I've worked with at the club." Briggs has taken 191 first-class wickets in his 67 matches, with a best of 6-45, which he took for England Lions in 2011. He made his England one-day international debut against Pakistan in Dubai in 2012 and has also played seven times for his country in the T20 format. Average debt is at the highest level seen since the summer of 2013, insurer Aviva said, having risen by £4,000 in six months. Aviva's research covers debt, excluding mortgages, during the latter months of 2015. It follows figures from the Bank of England which showed consumer borrowing leapt ahead of Christmas. Charities say that, for some individuals, a reliance on credit could become more problematic were interest rates to rise. Increased borrowing can, however, be a sign of confidence in an improving economy. The Aviva report suggested that families were saving £105 a month on average, with the typical family savings pot totalling £3,150. "The alarming levels of rising household debt, along with a recent reduction in income and savings levels, paints an uncertain picture for the family purse in 2016," said Louise Colley, managing director of protection at Aviva. "With the possibility that the Bank of England could raise interest rates this year, families who have grown accustomed to cheaper credit - particularly those who have spent heavily over the Christmas period - need to ensure they are still fully prepared to manage debt repayments, as well as other monthly outgoings, should rates go up," she said. Shigeta Miura, 40, allegedly posted rotten tea leaves, dirt, and women's underwear 70 times over the past year. More than 500 packages were sent to four people who were in his primary school and boy scout troop, Japanese media reported. Mr Miura told police the packages were sent in revenge. He reportedly stuffed the rubbish into unstamped packages, putting the intended recipient down as the sender. He then addressed them to random people, knowing that without stamps they would be returned to the apparent sender. He is being charged with violating a public nuisance order. The 25-year-old, who has played for Gloucestershire since 2010, has agreed a three-year contract with Middlesex. "We have been looking to sign a fast bowler with white-ball pedigree," said Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser. "In James I believe we have found a bowler that will add extra bite and quality to this area." Fuller was a key part of Gloucestershire's winning One-Day Cup campaign this year, taking 15 wickets including 2-34 in the final at Lord's. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he holds a UK passport and has taken 101 first-class wickets at an average of 33.90 with best figures of 6-24. He also has 58 List A one-day wickets at an average of 25.17 and 62 Twenty20 wickets in 46 games. "I have watched James bowl on numerous occasions and have been impressed with what I have seen," added Fraser. "He is a fine athlete with a strong, easy action that allows him to bowl with good pace. James is extremely ambitious and is the sort of character that fits what Middlesex are looking for." About 300 adults and children regularly take part in two free timed runs organised by Parkrun UK in Little Stoke Park, near Bristol, on Saturdays. Parkrun's ethos in the 850 runs it organises in 12 countries is for the event to be free and open to everyone. Stoke Gifford Parish Council said it was "unfair" to expect non-running residents to pay for path maintenance. Parkrun UK organisers have warned the event, in Little Stoke, south Gloucestershire, that has attracted 4,083 registered runners, would end if a charge was imposed. Helen Hood, head of event delivery, said: "Every Parkrun worldwide is built on a few fundamental principles - led by the local community, free to participants, and accessible to everyone who wants to take part. "If Stoke Gifford Parish Council decides to impose any type of charge or levy on participants to run in the park then the event would sadly not be able to continue." Source: parkrun.org.uk Q&A: The Parkrun phenomenon The Little Stoke Park event's co-director, Becky Bushnell, added: "It's a daunting prospect but this has been hanging over us for six months and we need to know if there's a future for us in the park." Reacting on Facebook, Helen Durnford said on BBC Radio Bristol's page it would be "completely wrong" to have to pay for Parkrun. "Health benefits are huge for physical and mental wellbeing and the parish council should recognise that for the people that live in their area," she added. Matt Burden added on the same page that it was "short sighted in the extreme" and Becky Mear asked: "Perhaps this parish council doesn't realise it's responsible for community building and for health and well-being?" The parish council said in a statement it "cannot and will not stop people from using the parks for exercise and running but when it comes to an organisation with paid directors, fundraisers and sponsors it would be unfair to expect the residents to pay." On Tuesday the announcement of the Commission's legislative programme for next year will provide the opportunity to talk of a new start. However, events at last week's two-day meeting may cast a long shadow. On Wednesday, MEPs will get a chance to react to the failure to reach a compromise with Belgium's Wallonia region over an EU trade deal with Canada. The agreement, known as CETA, was due to be signed this week after seven years of negotiations. Last-ditch talks are being made to salvage the deal, but its future is hanging in the balance. With it, trade talks with the United States, Japan - and potentially a post-Brexit UK - face an uncertain fate. Also on Wednesday, MEPs are due to take their position on next year's EU budget ahead of a looming December deadline. Here are the main events coming up this week... The sitting starts with a debate on new rules to harmonise penalties against firms that break EU customs law. The EU Commission has argued that an agreed scale for penalties would provide a level playing field for companies. MEPs will set out their "first reading" position on the regulations on Tuesday. After this they will discuss what the EU's diplomatic strategy should be with Iran following the landmark nuclear deal agreed last year. A draft motion to be voted on during Tuesday calls for the bloc to explore ways of boosting economic links with the country. However it also says Iran's human rights record could present "obstacles to trade". The evening will see short debates on six advisory "own initiative" motions on EU policy ideas. Among the ideas being debated this month is a motion backing an EU strategy to boost imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The morning sitting will kick off with a debate on an advisory motion calling for an EU monitoring system of fundamental rights breaches in member states. Under the scheme, the Commission would issue annual "recommendations" to national governments on their respect for EU fundamental rights. It comes amid an ongoing EU probe into respect for the rule of law in Poland. At lunchtime MEPs will vote on an amending budget to increase security spending at EU buildings by a total of €15.8m this year. It includes money for 35 new recruits at the European Parliament, exempted from the institution's target to cut staff by 5% by the end of 2018. The extra money was proposed following a review after recent terror attacks in Paris and Brussels. They will also decide whether to grant immunity to ex-UKIP MEP Jane Collins in the libel case brought against her by three South Yorkshire Labour MPs. The MPs took her to court after she claimed in 2014 that they had known about child exploitation in Rotherham but did not intervene. Parliament's legal affairs committee has recommended not doing so, arguing that the comments did not relate to her role as an MEP. In the afternoon, a commissioner will join MEPs to debate the EU executive's legislative plans for next year. Ahead of the vote on Wednesday, they will also debate their position on next year's EU budget, which has to be agreed by December. As per tradition, their draft motion proposes reversing cuts demanded by national governments. It also calls for increasing spending on EU economic development schemes and programmes to help with mass migration. In the evening the Commission will present its new plan for a common system to calculate corporate tax payments due by multinationals across the EU. Plans for a Common Consolidated Corporation Tax Base (CCCTB) were originally put forward in 2011 but were blocked by member states. Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk are due to speak during a debate on last week's EU leaders' summit in Brussels. The summit was overshadowed by failure to reach agreement with Belgium's Wallonia region over the signing of an EU trade deal with Canada. Belgium, the only country blocking the accord, needs consent from Wallonia's regional parliament before it can sign. It leaves the credibility of the EU as a trade negotiator in doubt, with trade talks with the United States also on rocky ground. During the lunchtime voting session, MEPs will also vote on a motion calling for a mandatory EU-wide limit on the amount of trans fats in foods. The fatty acids, often found in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHOs), have been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks. Denmark, Austria, Hungary and Latvia have all placed national limits on the trans fats in oils and fats. PHOs are also due to be banned in the US by June 2018. However the motion will not be binding on the European Commission, which would need to propose legislation to introduce the limit. The afternoon will see a series of external relations debates on relations with Belarus, Afghanistan and the situation in Iraq. It comes after government and Kurdish forces began a long-awaited operation last week against so-called Islamic State (IS) group in the northern city of Mosul. They will also debate the arrest of journalists and closure of media organisations following the failed coup in Turkey. The morning sitting opens with a debate to mark the 20th anniversary of the European Volunteering Service (EVS). MEPs will debate a non-binding motion calling on the EVS to drop its age limit for volunteers. It also urges the EU Commission to set up a scheme allowing volunteers to gain formal recognition of their skills to help them find jobs afterwards. A second non-binding motion to be debated during the morning calls for Common Agricultural Policy funds to be directed at smaller farms. It notes that just 13% of beneficiaries received 74% of all funding during 2014. A third and final motion to be debated in the morning calls for the next version of the EU's Youth Strategy to focus on tackling youth unemployment. It says more investment should be made in vocational training teaching skills that "reflect labour market opportunities". There will be no human rights motions at the voting session, with this having been done at the first of this month's plenary sittings. Please note: This agenda is subject to modification at the opening of the session on Monday afternoon. A guide to how the European Parliament's plenary sessions can be found here.

Robbie Brady scored a late header to give his country a 1-0 victory over Italy. That meant they qualified for the last 16 as one of the best third-placed sides. The Republic of Ireland will play the hosts France next - on Sunday afternoon. Wales and Northern Ireland will play each other on Saturday for a place in the quarter-finals. England will play Iceland on Monday, after Iceland qualified thanks to a dramatic late winner over Austria. Iceland are the smallest nation ever to qualify for a major tournament. Sales at the so-called Detroit big three - that's Ford, General Motors and Chrysler (now owned by the Italian firm Fiat) - have rebounded as the US economy has recovered, and 2015 looks to be even better. "There is an exuberance back in the industry - happy days are here again," says industry analyst Michelle Krebs, director of automotive relations at the AutoTrader Group. But with opportunity has once more come, if not hubris, than at least the possibility of it. Plunging oil prices have made US car buyers flock once more to large trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) - and away from the hybrid and electrical vehicles that car makers from General Motors to Toyota have peddled in recent years as economical alternatives. "Looking at history, you see that when gas prices have gone up historically that's really hurt the car industry, particularly the American car industry," says University of Michigan professor Don Grimes. "[The big three] have all suffered disproportionately during high prices and have benefitted disproportionately from lower gas prices." So the question for carmakers in 2015 is, to borrow a sports term, whether to go big once again - or face the possibility of going home. Sometimes cliches exist for a reason, and this is one of the more powerfully true ones - Americans like big cars. Sure, while petrol prices were high, they could be reluctantly convinced into buying energy-efficient small cars and hybrids. But as oil prices have plunged over the past few months, pick-up trucks and SUV sales have grabbed greater market share once more. This shift has created a strange situation here on the floor of the Cobo Center, where Volkswagen unveiled its latest SUV - the company's first to be made in the US - just as General Motors was preparing to show off its rumoured Chevrolet Bolt, a compact electrical car that can go 200 miles on a single charge. Nowhere was this split more apparent than on Sunday night at a glitzy Mercedes event at a hotel nearby. The German car maker unveiled its latest C-350 plug-in hybrid, as well as the 2015 GLE Coupe - one of a slew of so-called "CUVs" (crossover utility vehicles), which are built on a car platform but combine elements of SUVs, and have been particularly popular in the US market. "The timing couldn't be better - the market for SUVs is only getting stronger," said Mercedes boss Dieter Zetsche, when introducing the vehicles. GM's Mary Barra best articulated the paradox when she touted the company's commitment to fuel-efficient vehicles, only to acknowledge a few minutes later in response to a BBC question that GM was hoping to boost sales by peddling its midsize pick-up truck to younger buyers. "The new midsize truck has great value and frankly there's a lot of feedback we're getting that it's pretty darn cool," she said. So is it feast or famine? A little bit of both, say experts. "They're responding to political and advertising needs to say that they're going towards fuel-efficient vehicles," explains Prof Grimes. "They'll sell these cars at an enormous loss and then they'll have their fingers crossed behind their backs and hope to sell a lot of big trucks because they know that's where they get their profits." As easy as it may be to mock the efforts of US car makers - and, of course, their European counterparts - to have their cake and eat it too, the industry does seem to have genuinely learned from the mistakes of the past. Nowhere is this more evident than at the Walter P Chrysler Museum, a short drive north of Detroit in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Brant Rosenbusch, a third-generation Chrysler employee, and the museum's chief curator, met the BBC in the museum's eerily deserted parking lot. He occupies a strange role, presiding over a vast space that houses more than 300 classic Chrysler cars, but that is no longer open to the public, having been forced to close in the wake of Chrysler's bankruptcy filing and eventual sale to Fiat. He says that the inability of US car makers to respond to oil shocks, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, "was a harder lesson here than anywhere". Chrysler was brought to the brink of bankruptcy in 1979, and was forced to ask for loan guarantees from the US government. Gesturing to the so-called "K cars" made in the wake of that decision - practical, but boxy and certainly not sexy like the Dodge Challenger muscle car that came before it - Mr Rosenbusch says that US car firms have learned not to move too quickly to indulge in US tastes. "In the 1950s and the 1960s there was an arrogance that 'we'll tell the public what they want'," he says. "The industry globally has levelled out more and we are a global company, which really helps - we're on the same playing field as everybody else." And even if the good-time feeling is once more permeating Detroit, the US government is keen to ensure that hubris will not be able to lead the industry to the brink of destruction once more. "In the US, automakers have to meet new, more stringent fuel economy standards in 2016 and then even more stringent ones in 2025," points out AutoTrader Group's Ms Krebs. "That will keep them on course." Adam Swift, Mark Percival, Ryan Morgan and Adam Walker tries put Saints 22-18 up at the break, with Thomas Bosc, Julian Bousquet and Iain Thornley responding in a fierce, open contest. Ex-Saint Luke Walsh converted Paul Aiton's try to edge Dragons ahead. Owens, however, collected a fine Theo Fages pass to help ensure victory. Victory was Saints' second of the season from five games, while Catalans are winless at their Stade Gilbert Brutus home since the opening day of the 2017 campaign. Swift ran in the first of five tries in the opening 20 minutes, with Morgan's effort edging the visitors ahead after Bousquet gave Catalans the lead for the first time. While their advantage lasted just five minutes in the first half, Aiton's touchdown to help restore the hosts' lead in the 47th minute marked a sustained period of dominance after the interval. Despite their superiority, Catalans failed to add any more points and the resilient Saints prevailed, thanks to a fine piece of skill from Fages to find Owens with a flicked pass while off balance. Percival's touchline conversion to open a one-score lead put pressure on the Dragons to chase the game late on to avoid a second straight defeat, but they failed to carve out another meaningful attack at the end of a draining, high-quality match. Catalans Dragons: Bosc, Thornley, Inu, Wiliame, Yaha, Walsh, Myler, Baitieri, Horo, Garcia, Moa, Aiton, Casty. Replacements: Bousquet, Simon, Burgess, Da Costa. St Helens: Makinson, Owens, Morgan, Percival, Swift, Fages, Wilkin, Walmsley, Roby, Douglas, Taia, Peyroux, Knowles. Replacements: Amor, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Walker, Lee. Referee: Robert Hicks The poorest areas of Wales are sharing more than £2bn aid between 2014 and 2020, while more than £250m a year goes directly to farmers. Carwyn Jones told AMs it was possible there would be no replacement by the UK government of the payments after 2020. The prime minister is due to start the two-year process for Brexit tomorrow. During First Minister's Questions, Mr Jones responded to Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood, who called on the UK government to replace lost EU aid, saying: "Wales cannot afford to pay the price for a hard Brexit." The first minister said: "I am not optimistic there will be any money post-2020. "I am not convinced there will be any money to replace structural funds, and I am becoming convinced there will not be any money to pay farming subsidies. "More and more we are hearing that the Common Agricultural Policy is a problem. We heard it from Iain Duncan Smith - that means farming subsidies could well disappear. "That's my greatest fear. We know what that would mean for the economy of rural Wales." Earlier, Ms Wood issued a list of demands for Wales, as Theresa May prepares to trigger Brexit negotiations on Wednesday. They include "continued participation" in the single market, further devolution, and for the rights of all EU nationals living in Wales to be guaranteed. Ms Wood said: "Our alternative demands for the Article 50 letter reflect not only what is important to Wales and everyone who lives here, but the promises that were made to voters by the Vote Leave campaign. "They offer the UK Prime Minister a list of sensible and moderate options that do not go against the mandate to leave the EU but protect our vital economic links with the continent and reflect the interests of Wales and all who live here." A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "The British public voted to leave the European Union and that vote was endorsed by the people of Wales, giving the Westminster Government a mandate to negotiate on behalf of the whole of the UK. "Leanne Wood purports to be acting in the national interest, but there is an inherent irony in her demands to retain access to the single market and for the maintenance of current funding levels - whilst simultaneously campaigning for independence from the UK, which would see the taps turned off for our public services and break up a vital single market." Welsh Labour MEP Derek Vaughan said the UK government had "backed itself into a corner by setting conditions which indicate we are heading for hard Brexit or no deal". This, he warned, would be "catastrophic" for Wales. UKIP published "six key tests to prove Brexit means Exit", including a requirement that "Parliament must resume its supremacy of law-making with no impediments, qualifications or restrictions on its future actions". The party called for the UK to have full control of its immigration, asylum and border control policies and the seas around its coast, insisting there should be no final settlement payment to the EU or any ongoing payments. In a report released at the Black Hat conference, the Digital Citizens Alliance said it had found thousands of videos on YouTube that featured stolen footage. In total the clips had racked up millions of hits, said the group. Webcam hijackers profited from their trade via adverts on videos and by selling access to some streams. Adam Benson, deputy director of the non-profit DCA, said the trade in stolen webcam footage was "troubling" and called on Google, which owns YouTube, to stop relying on computer-based methods to find and remove the videos. In other cases involving videos that showed shocking or illegal images, YouTube had deployed teams of people to handle complaints and hunt down offending clips, he said. "The humans can see things that the algorithm is just not going to pick up," he said. In a statement, Google said: "YouTube has clear policies that outline what content is acceptable to post and we remove videos violating these policies when flagged by our users." The same should be done with these clips that often frighten, humiliate and terrorise victims, said Mr Benson. The DCA said it had shared its findings with YouTube but so far had not received any response. Mr Benson said the tool of choice for the people who shared the videos online were programmes known as "remote access trojans" or "Rats" for short. "Rats are pretty cheap and some are free but if you want something that's a bit more sophisticated that's not going to be that expensive," he said. As their name implies, this gives an attacker access to a victim's computer and grants them as much control over it as its real owner. Many sites that offer people links to pirated content harboured the trojans and infected people who thought they would be getting free songs, movies or games when they clicked on the link. Experienced Rat operators could rack up 50 or so victims in a few minutes via these sites, suggests the DCA research. Once installed, Rat operators find out if a machine has a webcam and then starts to stream images from them seeking candid footage. Short clips were often placed on YouTube and used as a way to get people to visit other sites where more footage was available for a fee. Streams featuring young women were the most popular and carried the highest charges, he said. Many operators were making thousands of dollars a month from their victims, he said, adding that the trojans were being used by cybercriminals all over the world. Tackling the problem was hard, he said, because many people hit by it had intimate footage of their lives shared online. "Even when someone is hit and becomes a victim there's a lot of shame and fear because they do not know who has seen the materials and that makes them very reluctant to talk about it and come forward," said Mr Benson. The issue of exploiting hijacked footage came to prominence in March 2014 when American teenager Jared James Abrahams was jailed for 18 months for hijacking the webcams of several young women and extorting cash from them by threatening to release the images he stole. The case won publicity because one of his victims, Cassidy Wolf, a former Miss Teen USA, did not pay up but instead reported the crime to the police.

Half-time substitute Campbell fired in from 20 yards to give the League Two side hope. And he earned them a second chance when he headed in a late corner. Notts, beaten by Salford City in the first round last season, thought they had grabbed a late winner but Vadaine Oliver was adjudged offside. Boreham Wood, who went into the game on the back of five wins in six games in all competitions, thought they were on course for the second round for the first time since 1997 when Balanta struck to add to Ferrier's eighth goal in as many games. But Campbell earned Notts, who have lost in round one in each of the last three seasons, a replay when he followed up his strike by nodding in Carl Dickinson's corner from close range. Notts County striker Adam Campbell told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I'm ecstatic. To score two goals is always nice. Thankfully we've pulled ourselves back into it and we're still in the draw. "Once our first goal came it was just a matter of time before the second one followed. "It was vital we didn't get beaten today.

It was unveiled at a free public event on Saturday. The provincial city was transformed under IS, which implemented an extreme interpretation of Islamic law there and used beheadings, crucifixions and torture to terrorise residents who opposed its rule. Now, a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters is seeking to drive IS out of the city and deliver another blow to a group in retreat across Syria and Iraq. Raqqa sits on the River Euphrates, about 360km (225 miles) north-east of the Syrian capital, Damascus. The Roman author Pliny the Elder wrote that it was founded by Alexander the Great. But it is more likely to have been one of his generals, Seleucus Nicator, who established the Seleucid Empire. The first settlement was built near Tal Bia, a hill just to the east of the present city walls, and became known as Callinicum, after a Seleucid king who expanded it around 244-42BC. After the town fell to Muslim forces in AD639-40, the Umayyad Caliph Hisham is said to have built two palaces there and renamed it Raqqa ("the marsh"). In 771, the Abbasid Caliph al-Mansour chose Raqqa to serve as a second capital after Baghdad, and to help him defend north-eastern Syria, known as "al-Jazira". He renamed the town al-Rafiqa ("the companion"), and ordered the construction of double-thick mud brick walls around it in the shape of a horseshoe, strengthened every 35m by 100 semi-circular towers. The Great Mosque was also built during this time, although the only surviving ancient parts are a minaret and colonnade added in 1165-66 by Nur al-Din Mahmoud Zangi. Raqqa was substantially remodelled by the great Abbasid Caliph Haroun al-Rashid, who chose the town as his base from 796 until 808, the year before his death. It retained its role as an important regional centre under the Zengid and Ayyubid dynasties, but fell into ruin after being sacked by the Mongols in 1258. Raqqa only really recovered in the 1960s, when it was made the administrative capital of the new province of Raqqa and the Tabqa Dam was built on the Euphrates about 40km (25 miles) upstream. By 2004, Raqqa was the sixth largest city in Syria, with a predominantly Sunni Arab population of 220,000. In March 2013, Raqqa rose to prominence after it became the first provincial capital to fall to rebels and jihadists seeking to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. They included members of was to become known as "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant" (Isis or Isil), who seized control of the city by force in early 2014 and then began imposing their vision of a state. In June 2014, after overrunning much of northern and western Iraq, Isis declared the creation of a caliphate and changed its name to "Islamic State". The group demanded that Muslims across the world swear allegiance to its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and migrate to territory under its control. Thousands of people, many of them citizens of Western countries, heeded the call and travelled to Raqqa via Turkey. The city has been repeatedly hit by air strikes since the US-led anti-IS coalition began operations in September 2014, causing what the UN called a "staggering loss of civilian life". Some 160,000 residents have fled their homes to escape the raids, it said. The birds could not be disturbed because they were nesting at the site at Tain in Easter Ross. Once the gulls had moved on, the mess they left cost £60,000 to clean up. Councillor Jamie Stone said he was aware of the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) developing a bird-scaring robot. He told BBC Alba the gulls were returning and schoolchildren, and the wider community, were again facing the loss of the pitch for another nine months. Mr Stone said: "We need the sports facility and to have it closed for nine months of a whole year is not good enough. This has to be taken seriously. "We don't have a budget for dealing with seagulls. However, I am aware that UHI is developing a robot that will scare away the gulls." Mr Stone said the initial cost of buying the robot might be expensive, but once purchased could prove crucial to keeping the pitch open year-round. UHI has recently been working with secondary school pupils on a robots project. Professors at the university have suggested that the council could explore the use of automated broadcast of sounds that scare birds, including the sound of distressed gulls. Robop Limited, an East Lothian company that makes bird-scaring robotic birds of prey, said it was working with Highland Council on a number of projects. It said one of its devices was already in use at Lochaber High School in Fort William and also has one installed at Inverness College UHI. The price of rhino horn - used in traditional medicine in Asian countries - has soared. Rhino poaching is already banned under international conventions but figures show the number of rhinos killed in 2012 was nearly double the 2010 figure. South Africa is home to about 85% of Africa's estimated 25,000 rhinos. Conservation groups have welcomed the move as the first official co-operation between the two nations on the issue. The trade in rhino horn has been banned by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) since 1980. At least 618 rhinos have been poached in South Africa in 2012, nearly double the number of those killed in 2010, latest official figures show. Most of the killings took place in the world-famous Kruger National Park. "The continued slaughter is a cause for immense concern," South Africa's environmental minister, Edna Molewa said after signing the new agreement in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. "We believe that this latest development at an international level is crucial for South Africa to effectively deal with the current scourge of poaching, and with the illegal hunting largely driven by the international demand for the rhino horn." Buyers in Vietnam are willing to pay a high prize for the commodity, believed to help reduce toxins in the body, treat fever and even cure cancer. The black market price of rhino horn is now in the region of $65,000 (£40,000) per kg - more than gold. Since 2003, Vietnamese hunters are estimated to have paid more than $22m to hunt rhinos in South Africa, according to a recent report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The new deal will focus on seven key areas of cooperation, including the protection of South Africa's biodiversity and compliance with internationally binding conventions like Cites. Each nation will appoint a co-ordinator to help implement the agreement, which will remain in force for five years. The deal could mark a turning point in efforts to protect rhinos because it represents the first official pact signed by both countries, Richard Thomas from the wildlife trade monitoring group Traffic told the BBC. "Its implementation will of course be down to political will but the chances are much better if the orders come from high enough in the government," he said. Eamon Kelly, 52, from Didcot, was described as "distraught" by his partner. National newspapers have reported he admitted cheating in this year's race from Tarbes in France to his home town. He allegedly registered 14 birds for the race, then kept them in his loft while sending another set to France. The National Flying Club said it has now launched an investigation. Ron Cook, a former member of the club and friend of Eamon Kelly, said: "There will be high level meetings over the next few days - where all the evidence will be examined. "Until such time before the matter goes before the national flying club committee there is no more comment." Mr Kelly is reported to be the reigning champion of the "Tarbes National" race from France, after winning last year. The board generally grants premises extended hours at Christmas and New Year, unless there are reasons for refusing permission. It has now started public consultation on a plan to apply the same approach to other times of the year. Extended hours may also be made more readily available during big events. These include the Royal National Mod. Board chairwoman Maxine Smith said: "We are looking for as many people as possible to take part and let us know their views." The consultation period runs until 17 April and the board will consider the responses at a meeting in Inverness on 12 May. Media playback is not supported on this device The chastening loss at London Stadium ensured the host nation failed to reach the final of the tournament. Bennett said his side "self-destructed" at times during Sunday's game. The Australian added: "Right now, they don't believe. They just have to realise how good they can be - they don't get that part unfortunately." England, who needed to avoid defeat to qualify for next Sunday's final at Anfield, led 6-2 after half-an-hour against the tournament favourites. But they gave away a series of needless penalties and failed to make the most of the openings they created during a frustrating afternoon for Bennett and his team. By the mid-point of the second half they trailed 28-6, and they conceded six tries in total. "They have to recognise what is beating them," said Bennett. "They have got to fix it in their daily habits and they have got 12 months before the World Cup to fix it. "There's lots of talent, they can play, the problem is that they have to learn to compete at this level under pressure." Media playback is not supported on this device England lost their opening Four Nations match 17-16 against New Zealand but defeated Scotland before losing by 18 points against the Kangaroos. It was England's 11th straight defeat against Australia but, despite criticising aspects of his players' performances during the tournament, Bennett was insistent the gap between the sides is not all that big. "I have enjoyed being with the players immensely," added the 66-year-old, who was taking charge of England for the first time at the Four Nations. "They are great blokes to be around. "It makes me more frustrated than ever, angry even in my case, because they are not showing how good they can be. "They are not that far behind. I cannot fault them off the field, they have just got to get it right on the field. "They are very capable and a better team than a lot of people realise. I thought there would have been a lot more issues when I took charge." Australia will face New Zealand in the final after winning all three of their round-robin games. However, skipper Cameron Smith felt the scoreline in London flattered his team. "It was a high-quality game and England were very good," said the Melbourne Storm hooker. "We had to come up with some special plays to get points against them. The scoreline did not reflect the contest. "The gap is not widening, it might look that way but it was fairly tight through the whole 80 minutes." Former England utility player Jon Wilkin, speaking to BBC Sport on Facebook Live: Australia are world class and will win the Four Nations in style against New Zealand next week. Half-back Cooper Cronk was sensational today, while the packs pretty much cancelled each other out. Was the venue an issue? There were 35,000 people in the London Stadium, and the atmosphere was OK. Maybe we can look at that and play to our strengths. I know we need to promote the game, and spread the game to the south, but we need to do what's best for the national team. For coach Wayne Bennett, there were some real thought-provoking moments in the game. The question remains how England unlock the southern hemisphere teams. Former Great Britain coach Brian Noble on BBC One: There is room for improvement for England. You have to move pieces forward, you might get beaten initially in a game of chess but you hope it starts a winning game. Hopefully, coach Wayne Bennett's principles of the 'smarts' and the things he has spoken about come to fruition. He clearly said he needs time with the players. Former dual-code international Jonathan Davies on BBC One: Australia did the softening-up period. They did the hard work, the had graft and hard yards, coupled with the good kicking and chasing. They put the pressure on England in the right areas of the field and then turned on the style. Centre-half De Havilland made 23 appearances for the Chairboys last season after signing from Sheffield Wednesday in July 2016. The 22-year-old started his career at Millwall, before moving to Hillsborough in 2014. "I really like it here - like Wycombe, it's a very tight-knit squad," he told the club website. He returned to the top spot with What Do You Mean after being knocked off last week by Sam Smith's Bond theme. The only other songs to reach number one three times are Frankie Laine's I Believe, Guy Mitchell's Singing The Blues and Pharrell Williams' Happy. This week's number one album was a new entry from Rudimental. We The Generation, the band's second album, includes tracks with Ed Sheeran, Bobby Womack, Ella Eyre and Lianne La Havas. It took over the number one slot from Disclosure's Caracal, which slipped down to number eight. Sheeren's X, which has been around for 68 weeks, is once again back in the top five, sitting at number two. Editors' fifth studio album, In Dream, is a new entry at number five. Bieber's What Do You Mean was the most streamed track of the week, with 2.91 million listens in the past week. The Canadian pop star was in the news this week after photos of emerged of him naked on holiday. His lawyers have demanded websites remove the pictures, citing an invasion of privacy. The UK singles chart saw R City's Locked Away, featuring Adam Levine, rise one place to number two, while Sam Smith's Writing on the Wall slipped to three. A new entry into the top 100 was Alone No More by Philip George and Anton Powers, which reached number four. The top five was completed by Ellie Goulding's On My Mind. The UNHCR said this was the largest influx in such a short period since the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011. The Syrian Kurds are fleeing an advance by Islamic State (IS) militants, who have seized swathes of Iraq and Syria in recent months. IS fighters are reported to be closing in on the Syrian town of Kobane. The capture of Kobane, also known as Ayn al-Arabon, would give the jihadists complete control of the area. Even before the latest influx, Turkey was struggling to cope with more than a million Syrian refugees who have crossed into its territory since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began more than three years ago. Carol Batchelor, the UNHCR's envoy in Turkey, told the BBC that such high numbers of refugees would place a strain on any host community. The sheer number of refugees would overwhelm any country. Added to that, they are Kurds from Syria, many of them deeply hostile to Turkey. For 30 years, Turkish forces fought Kurdish rebels in a civil war that killed 40,000 people. The fact that Turkey is accepting tens of thousands of Kurds is a sign of how allegiances are being forced to change with the onslaught of Islamic State. But deep-seated tension between Kurds and Turks have again come to the surface, leading to border clashes on Sunday. Turkey fears that Kurds will cross into Syria to join the Kurdish militia. The worry is that, renewed by fresh recruits, it could ally with the outlawed PKK and launch attacks on Turkish soil. All the regional complexities, added to the refugee influx, make for a precarious situation here. She called for "increased solidarity and international assistance" for those flooding across the border. "The situation is deepening. It's becoming protracted. People are desperately in need," she added. Ms Batchelor said food, blankets and winter clothing - particularly for children - were needed. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said his country was preparing for "the worst case scenario" - an influx of hundreds of thousands more refugees. "I hope that we are not faced with a more populous refugee wave but if we are, we have taken precautions. If necessary, we have planned how to send these people to safer and further places," he said. Anwar Muslim, president of the Kobane regional government, told the BBC that Kurdish fighters had inflicted heavy casualties on IS and pushed the militants back. He accused the group of killing women, children and the elderly. "All our ministers, like ordinary people, have picked up arms. Our people believe we can defeat IS. Our morale is high," he said. On Friday, Turkey opened a 30km (19 mile) section of its south-west border to Syrian Kurds fleeing Kobane. Clashes then broke out on Sunday after protests by Kurds on the Turkish side of the border, some waving banners of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The BBC's Mark Lowen, at the scene, said Turkish forces were trying to stop Kurdish fighters from entering Syria to take part in the defence of Kobane. By Monday only two out of nine border posts in the area remained open, the UNHCR said. Our correspondent says the Syrian conflict has reawakened old hostilities and shaken a fragile peace between Kurds and Turkish authorities. The PKK, a banned militant group that fought a civil war for autonomy within Turkey for decades, has called on Kurds to join the fight against IS. PKK-affiliated forces have been battling IS in northern Iraq for months. In other developments: The US has said it will attack the group in Syria, though so far it has carried out air strikes against IS only in Iraq. On Monday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said France would not launch air strikes against IS in Syria despite having attacked the group in northern Iraq last week. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair told the BBC on Sunday that air strikes alone might not be enough to contain the group. "If necessary, we shouldn't rule out the use of, particularly, special force capabilities," he said. US President Barack Obama previously ruled out the involvement of US ground troops, and has instead promised to provide arms and training to local forces fighting against IS. Who are Islamic State (IS)? New counter-terror rules aimed at exposing radicalisation require schools to report suspicions about pupils to the police. The National Union of Teachers says the rules are stifling debate in schools. The Conservatives said the guidance made clear that no teacher should feel unable to talk about sensitive issues. A party spokesman said teaching about "fundamental British values" actively encouraged such discussions. But the NUT conference in Harrogate heard how teachers were becoming too nervous to discuss controversial issues such as Islamic fundamentalism. One Wandsworth teacher, Jan Nielsen, said: "We are expected to be front-line stormtroopers who listen, spy and notify the authorities of students who we are suspicious of." She told delegates of a Muslim pupil who had been questioned over comments he made after Friday prayers, even though he had made a strong argument against extremism. And she gave a case of another boy being questioned after he applied for permission to visit his dying grandfather in Pakistan. His laptop was seized and he was accused of looking at jihadi websites by the headteacher. In response the boy said: "How can I argue against something if I don't understand it?" Other teachers claimed Muslims were being demonised and turned into suspects. Executive member Alex Kenny told delegates the union was already hearing that teachers did not know whether to open up discussions on such issues because they did not know "where they would go". He added: "Prevent is shutting down debate and we must oppose it. Schools are places where teachers and children should be allowed to have discussions." The "Prevent" strategy is part of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, designed to discourage people from supporting terrorism. In certain circumstances teachers could also face prosecution if they failed to alert the police to any concerns they have about pupils. Schools must also actively promote "British values" and are judged on how well they teach these as part of the school inspection process. Delegates agreed a motion which said: "The government's promotion of British values, the Prevent agenda and the use of Ofsted to monitor these is having the effect of closing down spaces for such discussion and that many school staff are now unwilling to allow discussions in their classroom for fear of the consequences." Speaking ahead of the debate, NUT general secretary Christine Blower gave the example of how teachers had felt conflicted when dealing with the issue of the attack on the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. "When the appalling attacks took place at Charlie Hebdo, quite a few teachers said pupils were bringing it into class saying it is a big news story - what is happening here?," she said. "After the attack, some students, particularly some Muslim students, said they felt if they expressed that they were offended by the cartoons, they would be labelled as extremist. "The idea that young people themselves are shutting this down means that they are locked out of the discussion." She said the way to deal with such controversial matters was "to have proper discussions within a robust framework". And she argued that if any concerns about extremism or radicalisation among pupils emerged in schools, they should be dealt with under existing safeguarding procedures in schools. Kalsoom Bashir of counter-extremism organisation Inspire agreed that early intervention was key. She said: "Prevent really is about working with people whether they're members of the community, as mothers we work with, or with teachers, about the need to have open and frank conversations - and recognise when somebody maybe at risk of going down a criminal path and start having those conversations very, very early." A spokesman for the Conservatives said: "The battle against extremism begins at school where young people learn to be active, resilient and tolerant citizens, ready to seize the rich opportunities of modern Britain. "Teaching about the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and tolerance and respect for others is part of our promotion of British values and is at the heart of what every school has to deliver for children. "We want all schools to promote these values throughout the curriculum, not just as a bulwark against extremism, but as a vital part of preparing young people to get on in life. It helps to open young people's minds, making them into citizens who respect difference, who welcome disagreement and who challenge intolerance." It topped the rundown with combined chart sales of 38,000, according to the Official Charts Company. The achievement comes after the group were named best British newcomer at the Brit Awards earlier this year. "It's class to be number one with the new album. We're made up with that. Thank you!" the band told the Official Charts Company. Drake's Views held firm at two in the chart, while Beyonce's Lemonade climbed one place to number three. Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams jumped four places to four in anticipation of their Wembley Arena dates later this month, and ABC entered the chart at five with The Lexicon of Love II, their first top 10 in 26 years. Fifth Harmony were another new entry at six with their second album 7/27, while last week's number one - Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman - tumbled to number eight. In the singles chart, Drake notched up his eighth week at the top with his single One Dance. The track is now the longest-running UK chart-topper since Rihanna's Umbrella, which racked up an unbroken 10-week run at the summit in 2007. One Dance sold just shy of 85,000 combined chart sales, made up of 23,000 sales and 6.15 million streams. This week's highest new entry goes to Clean Bandit and Louisa Johnson's new single Tears, which dropped in at number six. The track gives last year's X Factor winner a second top 10, following her number nine peak with the winner's single Forever Young. US singer-songwriter Gnash enters the top 10 for the first time with I Hate You, I Love You, up four spots to number eight. There are two more big climbers: Cheat Codes and Kris Kross Amsterdam's Sex - a reworking of Salt-N-Pepa's Let's Talk About Sex - which lifts six places to number 14; and Pink's Just Like Fire jumped 14 spots to 22. Parent company Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI) said it expected "zero recovery" from the Redcar operation. The Teesside furnaces and coke ovens were closed with a loss of 2,200 jobs in October. Its liquidation meant SSI recorded an overall third quarter loss of 33,122m baht (£600m). Group Chief Executive Mr. Win Viriyaprapaikit, said: "At present, the company on a conservative basis expects zero recovery after the completion of the SSI UK liquidation." Redcar was founded in 1917, producing steel that was used to build iconic structures such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Auckland Harbour Bridge. SSI bought the plant from Tata Steel in 2011. Mr Win said that SSI had been hit by a collapse in demand worldwide and in the last quarter alone sales from its upstream business, which included Redcar, fell 15%. He said: "Global steel over-capacity and demand imbalance since late 2014 and the continuous decline in steel prices resulted in a huge operating loss for the group this year." Health officials are being asked to approve plans first mooted in 2013 for additional facilities at Rhyl's Royal Alexandra Hospital so they can get the final sign off by the Welsh Government. The aim is to offer a full range of care "closer to home" and 28 beds, according to a report. The local AM said he was pleased progress was "finally" being made. The plan is to refurbish the existing hospital and build a community hospital on the site. The report to Betsi Cadwaladr health board said the additional services at Rhyl could reduce impact on nearby Glan Clwyd Hospital and alleviate strain on inpatient beds at community hospitals. "Providing medical, nursing and therapist assessments and treatments, the unit will be designed to offer patients a faster and more convenient alternative to admission to inpatient beds," said the report. The current Grade II-listed building was originally built as a children's hospital and convalescent home in the 1890s. The plan is to refurbish the existing facility and build a community hospital on the site with costings revised from the £22m figure estimated in 2013. The health board has been looking to improve patient care in north Denbighshire since the closure of care beds at Prestatyn Community Hospital in 2013. Clwyd West AM Darren Millar said: "I am extremely pleased that progress is finally being made on this development - it's been a long time coming." Vale of Clwyd MP Dr James Davies said: "When beds were lost at the hospital back in 2009 it only added to the pressure on services at Glan Clwyd as we pointed out to the Welsh Government repeatedly. I urge Cardiff to back this project so we can finally move forward." The health board, which meets on Thursday, is being asked to rubber stamp the outline business case so it can be passed to the Welsh Government for final approval. Work could begin in 2018 should the plans get planning consent and final approval. About 200 people had to take refuge at a Porthmadog leisure centre when they were stranded overnight at the festival's end in early September. Organiser Gareth Cooper said they were "truly sorry" for the "awful" ordeal. However he said they had had no way of knowing what would happen in advance. In a statement, Mr Cooper said: "The weather we experienced this year at Festival No6 was extreme to say the least and it was certainly our most challenging festival to date. "The consequent ordeal faced by people at the park and ride was awful and for that we are truly sorry. "However, despite the rumours and unfounded accusations flying around, we had no way of knowing this would happen and had no warning to that effect until the flood was literally in progress. "Why would we knowingly risk people's property and our reputation? It simply makes no sense." He also apologised for a perceived lack of personal contact with complainants seeking compensation. "Large scale claims like this can take a while to resolve - we have worked around the clock to push this through at no small cost to ourselves and hopefully we have reached a conclusion in record time that will satisfy everyone affected," he added. Mr Cooper confirmed the festival remained committed to holding the festival in the region, and thanked local people who came to the aid of stranded festival-goers. The festival, named after a character in the cult series The Prisoner which was filmed at Portmeirion, is in its fifth year. Luke Durbin, 19, of Hollesley, failed to return home after a night out in Ipswich on 11 May 2006. No-one has been charged in connection with the case and the reward is the first to be put up since the investigation began. His mother, Nicki, said: "My family and I desperately need answers." Luke had spent part of the Thursday evening in Zest nightclub on Princes Street and was last seen on CCTV cameras near the Cattle Market bus station in the early hours of the following morning. The reward has been put up jointly by Nicki Durbin, Crimestoppers, Suffolk Police, the East Anglian Daily Times and Ipswich Star. Ms Durbin said: "It's more than nine years since I reported Luke as missing. "We still believe somebody locally knows what happened to Luke and we're hopeful this reward can be the incentive that finally makes them come forward with the information that helps us find my son." Det Supt John Brocklebank said: "We don't make decisions to offer rewards lightly because there are legal ramifications. "We had enough lines of inquiry to pursue without offering a reward earlier and the timing is for operational reasons - we are now appealing for people who may have information who want or need the financial reward." Suffolk Police said they also wanted to establish who was driving a white or silver Volvo 440 on Orwell Place at 04:09 BST on Friday, 12 May, 2006. CCTV cameras captured a picture of the vehicle, but its number plate was not visible. Police said they had confirmed there was a Volvo 440 in the Ipswich area with a M206 LYE number plate at the time, but it was registered under a false name and address and they are keen to hear from anyone who recognises this number plate so they can confirm whether it was the car in the CCTV images. According to its website, it has 11 branches in Northern Ireland though some are located within HMV shops. Those shops are thought to employ around 60 people. The company operates a further 71 stores in the Republic of Ireland. Oxtermont, the Dublin-based holding company of the chain, was placed into liquidation on Wednesday morning. The company said the move was a "direct result of the market decline of shop counter rental". "This has resulted in a 30% drop year on year in over the counter DVD rental," the firm said in a statement. In 2001, video shops in the UK made 198m rentals. By 2014 that number was down to 36m and most of those were done through the post. In that environment, it's surprising that Xtravision managed to stagger on as long as it did. The liquidators Grant Thornton said their first priority would be to meet and brief employees at all 83 locations and process their entitlements for redundancy. They added that over the coming days they will be in contact with all creditors of the company. Any Xtra-vision gift vouchers will be honoured by HMV which is not affected by the liquidation. Xtra-vision was bought by Hilco Capital Ireland in June 2013 for an undisclosed sum. Hilco specialises in buying distressed retail businesses. The company had previously been owned by Blockbuster and then an Irish investor. Clive Rees, from Tumble, was celebrating his 65th birthday on the Caribbean island with his wife Sonia when he was hit by a car. He is being treated in an intensive care unit after developing pneumonia and breathing difficulties. Mr Rees is unable to return home on a commercial flight and the family is raising money for an air ambulance. They have made a heartfelt plea to the public to help them reach their target following the incident on 13 May. "You always think something like this will never happen to you," said daughter Tracy Rees. "We just want him home." Miss Rees said the response has been "overwhelming", with support from family, friends and local businesses. "We've raised about £2,000 so far," she said. "I just can't believe how generous everyone is. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts." The £65,000 air ambulance fee encompasses a return trip from the UK, refuelling and a team of medical staff to look after Mr Rees. The company, which has about 20% of Scottish output of farmed salmon, produced 30,200 tonnes during 2014. That was a 40% rise on 2013. The company said the growth of fish was helped by sustained warm water temperatures during the year. More than two-fifths of output is exported, with six countries being added to its overseas markets in 2015. The company, which has its headquarters in Edinburgh, has about 60 fish farms and hatcheries, with more than 400 employees. The parent company in Oslo reported to the Norwegian stock exchange that the Scottish Salmon Company made pre-tax earnings of £13.7m, up from £3.5m in 2013. That was on full-year revenue of £126m, up from £82.4m. Managing director Craig Anderson said: "Salmon is Scotland's largest food export, to which we are a significant contributor. "Scotland is quite rightly using 2015 to showcase its produce with the Year of Food and Drink. We're proud to be part of this and will showcase our salmon to the eyes of the world." Output for 2013 is forecast to remain at about 30,000 tonnes. The culprit left the Christmas paper after unwrapping and stealing £900 in items, including three Android tablets. Sue Percival's grandchildren and daughter, Steph Summers, found the grim scene when visiting her home at Tonypandy, Rhondda Cynon Taff. Her four-year-old, Tristan, the first in the house, told her: "Mum, Santa's been. All the presents are open." Grandmother-of-seven Ms Percival said: "We are devastated. "I had finished all of my Christmas shopping because I started it in September. "They stole the presents, including the electronic tablets I bought, all the alcohol and even all of my change that I had put in a coin counter for emergencies. "The police said they think it is a personal targeted attack and that somebody might had waited for me to go to work." South Wales Police's Sgt Adam Johnson said the burglar struck on Wednesday between 07:30-11:30 GMT. He said: "The burglar forced the back door and made a search of the house, spending time to unwrap the Christmas presents which were in the house and choosing to take the high-value items and alcohol. "The carnage was discovered by the children in the family who have now had their Christmas spoilt thanks to this callous person." Among the items stolen were three computer tablets, trainers, perfumes sets and a large amount of alcohol. Inside the brains of human subjects, they pinpointed the unique imprints of two visual memories that were triggered by the same word. Then they watched as repeatedly recalling one of the images caused the second, interfering memory to vanish. The study is published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. The results suggest that our brains actively delete memories that might distract us from the task at hand. "People are used to thinking of forgetting as something passive," said lead author Dr Maria Wimber from the University of Birmingham. "Our research reveals that people are more engaged than they realise in shaping what they remember of their lives." Dr Wimber performed the study with colleagues from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. She told the BBC the implications of the new findings were not as simple as a "one in, one out" policy for memory storage. "It's not that we're pushing something out of our head every time we're putting something new in. "The brain seems to think that the things we use frequently are the things that are really valuable to us. So it's trying to keep things clear - to make sure that we can access those important things really easily, and push out of the way those things that are competing or interfering." The idea that frequently recalling something can cause us to forget closely related memories is not new; Dr Wimber explained that it had "been around since the 1990s". But never before had scientists managed to confirm that this was the result of an active suppression of the interfering memory, rather than just a passive deterioration. What made the discovery possible was identifying reliable indicators that her subjects were recalling a given picture, inside their visual cortex. She did this by getting them to do a number of "boring" tasks in the brain scanner, before the memory trials even began. This might involve looking at a picture of Marilyn Monroe, or Albert Einstein, many times over. "We show people visual pictures of these memories over and over again - and we can sample the prototypical brain response to those pictures," Dr Wimber explained. This allowed the researchers to discover what was distinctive about the "Monroe" pattern compared to the "Einstein" one. Then, by triggering them both with the same, unrelated word (eg "sand") but only asking for one to be remembered, they were able to watch, say, the Monroe trace persist while Einstein withered and faded. Dr Wimber hopes the findings could prove useful in psychology, where erasing specific memories is sometimes exactly what patients need. "Forgetting is often viewed as a negative thing, but of course, it can be incredibly useful when trying to overcome a negative memory from our past," she said. "So there are opportunities for this to be applied in areas to really help people." Dr Hugo Spiers, a senior lecturer in behavioural neuroscience at University College London, told BBC News the research was exciting and elegantly done. "This is an example of good brain imaging research," he said. "The results go beyond simply revealing that a brain region is involved in memory: they provide insights into the mechanisms used by the brain to achieve this." The work also impressed Dr Eva Feredoes, who studies memory mechanisms at the University of Reading. She said the finding could even prove useful for tackling memory loss in dementia. "We know that memories compete with each other at different stages while they are being remembered and when they are retrieved, with the losers of the competition forgotten from memory," Dr Feredoes said. "Solving this complex 'competition' could pave the way for new research into new treatments in diseases that affect memory, such as dementia. Importantly, there are now several techniques to improve brain function. Combined with these results, we have viable mechanisms and brain areas to target with these techniques."

Sonae and Metso Paper, which carried out maintenance work for Sonae, admitted failing to ensure the safety of their employees. They will be sentenced on Friday or next week at Liverpool Crown Court. The court heard the two colleague, both from Rossendale, had been repairing a worn sprocket on the conveyor belt when it dragged them into a large silo. There was no emergency stop button on the belt and the men died from "catastrophic injuries". The belt could start on its own on a signal from a computer if it were not isolated from its power source, the hearing was told. Neither Sonae or Metso (now known as Valma Ltd) produced a risk assessment for the work to be carried out on the day the two men were killed. The prosecution said Sonae's "generic" risk assessment only mentioned the isolation of machinery from a power source "in passing". An inquest jury previously found there was a lack of training in how to use the factory's equipment. The Sonae site, which opened in 2000, was badly damaged by a large fire in August 2011 in which a demolition worker - James Dennis Kay, 62, from Heywood, Greater Manchester - died. The plant closed in September 2012 with the loss of 220 jobs. Stephen Probert, 40, and Vicky Banks, 31, both from Caerphilly county, were on the run for two years before the BBC TV appeal helped police to catch them. They posed as a couple hoping to buy a new car before stealing over 25 high-value vehicles. They and other gang members have been sentenced at Newport Crown Court. Cars, including an Audi A3 and a Volkswagen Golf, both worth £10,000, were stolen around Britain between June 2013 and October 2014. Four of Probert's criminal gang were arrested, but ringleader Probert and Banks, both from Blackwood, went on the run. Tip-offs from the public helped officers apprehend the couple, who were living in Cyprus and travelling back to Wales. Probert pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal motor vehicles and was jailed for one years and eight months. Banks was given an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for two years. Probert was already serving 16 years for conspiracy to steal motor cars and and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Judge David Wynn Morgan called him "a devious and manipulative criminal". Gang members Keri Davies, 31, of Risca, and Anthony Woodington, 40, of Maerdy, were jailed for eight months. Neil Roberts, 33, of Trebanog, and Kelly Stephens, 32, from Risca, were each given a one year community order. Samantha Wright, 28, of Mountain Ash, was bailed for a pre-sentence hearing. The US company confirmed it had acquired the rights after reaching a deal with Mark Wolper, whose father David made the 1977 original. It broke ratings records when it first aired and earned an unprecedented 37 Emmy nominations, winning nine of them. It is hoped the new series will appear on screens some time during 2015. The 1977 series aired over eight consecutive nights on ABC in the US, drawing 100 million viewers for its conclusion, nearly half of the entire country. It was an unlikely hit with a largely black cast but is credited with helping to improve race relationships while blending fact and fiction into a soap opera package. "We would like to revive that cultural icon for a new audience," History's Dirk Hoogstra told Deadline. History has also acquired the rights to the book the mini-series was based on, Roots: The Saga Of An American Family, from the estate of author Alex Haley. Writers are expected to draw on both sources from a contemporary perspective with Wolper acting as an executive producer. Several big budget film projects have recently focused on the issue of slavery, including this year's Oscar hopeful 12 Years a Slave and Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained. The History channel has also enjoyed success with blockbuster historical mini-series over the last few years, such as The Bible, Vikings and Hatfields & McCoys starring Kevin Costner. "History in general is in the zeitgeist, which is great for us being a network whose name is History," Hoogstra said. The eastbound carriageway was closed near junction 23, causing a traffic jam to junction 24 near Coldra. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said it had dealt with the incident. All three lanes have since reopened. The 47-year-old, who was detained in Londonderry on Saturday, has been released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS). The three men who remain in custody are aged 36, 39 and 40. The 36-year-old was arrested in Newry, County Down, on Sunday morning and a property was searched. He was taken to Musgrave police station in Belfast for questioning. Meanwhile, a 35-year-old man arrested in west Belfast on Saturday was later released unconditionally.

The ex-Harlequins, Newcastle Falcons and Sale Sharks player, 30, is to focus on the 2017 Varsity Match. He has scored 20 tries in 47 games for Bristol since joining the club in 2013. "I've had four great years at Bristol and 13 as a professional, but this opportunity doesn't present itself to too many," he told BBC Radio Bristol. "Constitutionally, the 'captain' runs the club (at Cambridge University), so in a way they are the director of rugby, which is quite nice. "We have got a really good coach though in (former Plymouth Albion boss) James Shanahan, and a really good bunch of guys, so I won't have to do too much." Meanwhile, Bristol's former Saracens and Toulon back Gavin Henson has resumed first-team training as he continues his recovery from a shoulder injury. The 34-year-old has played just two Premiership games so far this season because of two spells on the sidelines. Welshman Henson - who won 33 caps for his country between 2001 and 2011 - suffered his latest injury in October's loss to Sale. Henson lasted 11 minutes for Bristol on the day of his comeback from a leg injury he suffered on the opening day of the season. No precise timeframe has been revealed for his return to the match-day squad but Bristol backs coach Dwayne Peel said: "He's way ahead of schedule now so it's when his body feels right. "It's good to have him back on the park. His knowledge is second to none. "In his first session back, albeit non-contact, he looked class to be fair."

Bristol winger Charlie Amesbury is to leave professional rugby at the end of the Premiership season and then captain Cambridge University while studying.

Roger Christian always intended to make his dark fantasy adventure, which was shown as part of screenings Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back, into a full-length movie. But a lack of funding and little appetite for the genre among cinema audiences always seemed to be against him. Black Angel began life in the late 1970s when Christian's friend and Star Wars' creator George Lucas handed him the opportunity to turn his idea into a 25-minute short. Lucas's offer was in part a "thank you" for Christian's work on original Star Wars - A New Hope, for which Christian won one of his two Academy Awards for his set design. Pulling together a small production team and with a budget of just £25,000, Christian headed to Scotland in the final months of 1979 to shoot the short. Black Angel is an Arthurian tale of a knight who rescues a princess while he is returning home from the Crusades. The short film was made entirely in Scotland on a shoestring budget. The locations included Eilean Donan near Dornie, Bernera Barracks at Glenelg, Loch Eck in Argyll and a swimming pool in Dunoon, where underwater scenes were filmed. It was shown the following year in cinemas in the UK, Scandinavia, Japan and Australia as part of screenings of The Empire Strikes Back. Londoner Christian is now preparing to return to Scotland this autumn. And his old haunts of Eilean Donan, the wider Lochalsh area and also Skye are on his film location wish list. Most of the film is being made at a studio in Budapest in Hungary where Christian and his production team have been able to take advantage of incentives to keep costs down. But he said Black Angel cannot work without Scottish landscapes. "I have to film in Scotland, and in late September and early October as I did the first time," says Christian. "The quality of the natural light at that time of year in Scotland is like nothing else in the world. "It allowed us to shoot scenes that would have required CGI, technology that was not available to us at that time." "I have also found my Obi Wan Kenobi," adds filmmaker. A wise and powerful wizard-like figure, Obi Wan is one of the best known characters of the Star Wars canon. In the early films, the Jedi knight was played by Sir Alec Guinness and in more recent episodes by Ewan McGregor. Christian says: "From Scottish legend there is a figure called Myrddin, who some people believe to be an inspiration for stories of the wizard Merlin. "In Black Angel, the character is a wandering sorcerer, a half-god/half-man, who lives under the castle of Eilean Donan." Christian has written of working on Star Wars, Black Angel and other films such as Alien in his newly published memoir, Cinema's Alchemist. In the book he tells of making weapons such as light sabres and blasters for Star Wars and also working on some of its most iconic creations, such as the Millennium Falcon space ship. Scotland features prominently in a chapter devoted to Black Angel. Christian said: "I went to Scotland to make Black Angel by design, rather than accident. I already knew Scotland at the time and what it had to offer." Influencing this choice in locating the short in Scotland were the works of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, whose most famous films include Seven Samurai. Christian says: "I wanted to make a film in the style of Kurosawa, who used epic landscapes. I knew that I could find similar landscapes in Scotland." Several factors convinced Christian that now was the right time for a feature-length version of his cult short. First, there was the interest in social media and film fans in the rediscovering of Black Angel in 2012 after years being lost in an archive, and subsequent screenings of it in Scotland in 2014. Interestingly, a TV series that could have been made in Scotland but ended up using locations in Northern Ireland instead has helped Christian and his team secure investment - and a potential audience - to his new film. "Game of Thrones has created huge interest in the fantasy genre," said Christian. "This is the right time to be making the film." The settlement is with the US Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the secondary mortgage market. A separate deal with the Department of Justice is expected later this year. The boss of RBS said the fine was a "stark" reminder of what happened to the bank before the financial crisis. RBS has set aside a total of £6.7bn ($8.6bn) as a provision for both payments. The bank's chief executive Ross McEwan, said: "Today's announcement is an important step forward in resolving one of the most significant legacy matters facing RBS. "This settlement is a stark reminder of what happened to this bank before the financial crisis, and the heavy price paid for its pursuit of global ambitions." The UK government still owns 72% of RBS and has been waiting for its performance to recover so it can start selling some of that stake. Although the settlement is enormous - it is not unexpected and RBS had already set aside £6.7 billion to settle their final bill. This is not quite it. A separate settlement with the Department of Justice is expected later this year which could match or exceed today's settlement. RBS today topped up the kitty for penalty payments by another £151m which will hit this year's earnings. Despite its core business producing reasonable profits, fines for historical conduct has meant RBS has lost money every year since a £45bn government bailout in 2008. RBS chief executive Ross McEwan has said he is hopeful that by the end of this year, the legacy issues that have dogged this bank will be behind it and the government will be able to start selling chunks of the bank back to the private sector. The shares are currently worth around half the price the government paid for them but Philip Hammond has indicated that the government may be prepared to start selling shares at a loss. The settlement announced today relates to the role played by RBS in the mis-selling of products backed by home loans in the run up to the financial crisis. During that period banks were buying up mortgages and repackaging them as investment products. Those bundled up packages of mortgages were often marketed as safe investments, but when the financial crisis hit, many proved to be worthless. Other banks, including Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs have already settled similar cases with US authorities. R's boss Ian Holloway gave the 20-year-old Irishman his first-team debut at Wolves on 31 December, and he has started two of their last three games. "It's been an unbelievable couple of weeks for me," Manning said. "It's been a whirlwind but I've enjoyed every minute and now the contract is sorted, I'm hoping I can kick on." Woods, bidding for a 15th major title, shot 70, while 2003 champion Furyk took 69 and 2001 US PGA winner Toms carded 70 to lead by one at one under par. Clubhouse scores in full Graeme McDowell, the 2010 champion, was one over with Nicolas Colsaerts, John Peterson and Michael Thompson. Holder Rory McIlroy and world number one Luke Donald missed the cut. The world's two top-ranked players were unable to fight back after disappointing first rounds and carded 73 and 72 to end 10 over and 11 over respectively. McIlroy said: "It's just such a demanding golf course and punishes the slightest shot that's off-line or that's maybe not the right distance." Five-time runner-up Phil Mickelson took 71 to end seven over, but Masters champion Bubba Watson also fell foul of the eight over cut mark with 78, 71 for nine over. The 36-year-old Woods, three shots adrift of leader Michael Thompson in tied second overnight, picked up a shot at the third to take the lead but went backwards with three straight bogeys from the fifth. But he settled himself with two pars before further birdies came at 10 and 13, and he missed other decent chances, notably on the 17th. "It was really, really tough and I just had to stay as patient as possible," said Woods. "I think I'm in a good spot. This tournament, you just keep plodding along. The kind of players near the top of the leaderboard show exactly what type of game it takes to win a US Open. There's Tiger Woods, of course, who continues to hit more fairways than almost anybody here, 11 of 14 on day two with 14 of 18 greens in regulation. But also Furyk, Toms and McDowell who are all shorter but deadly accurate players, great putters and very patient grinders. And the fact those three are all major champions will certainly give Woods pause for thought. They're unlikely to be intimidated by him and a fascinating weekend lies ahead. "You're just playing for a lot of pars. This is not a tournament where we have to make a bunch of birdies." Woods's last major triumph came at the 2008 US Open before turmoil in his private life, injury and changing to a new coach derailed his progress. But eight times out of nine when he has held at least a share of the lead after 36 holes at a major he has gone on to win. "It's been a very long time since my swing felt this good - don't forget I went through all of last year hurt and hadn't been able to practise," he added. "Now it's becoming more consistent, day-in and day-out." Furyk, who won his solitary major at Olympia Fields nine years ago, mixed two birdies with two bogeys to edge into contention. "I kept the ball in the fairway pretty well," said Furyk. "I feel solid and in control so far. I know it's going to get even firmer and faster and even more of a stern test for the weekend." Media playback is not supported on this device The 45-year-old, who also has four other top-five finishes in the US Open, said of the typically tough set-ups: "I guess you have to realise at the US Open that par is a really good score and you're going to make some bogeys. "Mentally you have to be in a good frame of mind, and physically you have to be on top of a lot of areas of your game." Toms joined the leaders late on with two bogeys on his front nine and two birdies on his back nine. "I just hung in there," said Toms, who beat Mickelson for his US PGA title in Atlanta. "I knew not to get frustrated and keep grinding. You have to be mentally ready for anything and never give up." England's Justin Rose followed his opening 69 with a 75 for four over alongside Ireland's three-time major champion Padraig Harrington (70). World number three Lee Westwood (72), fellow Englishman Ian Poulter (75) and Scotsman Marc Warren (72) ended five over. Seventeen-year-old amateur Beau Hossler led on his own briefly before falling back with a 73 to end three over, while 14-year-old Andy Zhang carded 79, 78 for 17 over.

I thought instantly of their work and, particularly, of Owen's famous lines, anent conflict and its consequences. O what made fatuous sunbeams toil. To break earth's sleep at all? Those sentiments close the poem, Futility. I imagine that there is a family in Cults on Deeside who are today observing their immediate world with comparable despair. They have lost their young one. They too will be questioning the very point of existence. In such circumstances, some find comfort in faith. Others seek or are offered solace from common humanity, from shared dignity, from a conjoined determination that jagged chaos will not prevail. Also by chance, both events - the immediate tragedy in Aberdeen, the historic horror of war - came together at Holyrood in a curious yet fitting concatenation. Our political leaders tendered their condolences to the family of young Bailey Gwynne. As they did so, they were wearing poppies, the flower of war-ravaged Flanders which commemorates conflict and courage. Some wore the standard scarlet paper poppy, some wore a permanent metal pin. One or two wore the white poppy, symbol of pacifism. But all united in offering sympathy to the "gentle and caring" 16 year old whose life has ended. The voices were solemn, subdued. But still the words of compassion echoed round the chamber: shock, sadness, sympathy, sorrow. Thoughts and prayers rose to the vaulted roof. And more. A tentative tiptoe towards context. The First Minister reminded MSPs that tragedies such as the one which has beset Cults Academy are notably rare. Even as she said it, however, Nicola Sturgeon rightly returned from generality to the particular. Such statistics, she stressed, were of no use whatsoever to a grieving family. Scotland, she said, must be "united in determination" to preclude all such incidents. As she developed this thread, again an inevitable caveat. Reviews of security, there would be. Lessons learned where possible. The objective would be to ensure safety for Scotland's youngsters - "as far as any government possibly can". An acknowledgement there of the limits fixed on our capacity entirely to subdue a troubled, occasionally tragic world, even when that endeavour is motivated by the best of intentions. Is that a nod towards futility? Quite the contrary. Quite the contrary. As another fine poet noted, we are all diminished by each individual death. But not beaten. Not utterly bowed. My sympathy to a grieving family. The latest violence began after a Buddhist rally in Aluthgama. Several people are reported to have been injured, shops burned and stones thrown at Buddhist marchers there. The curfew was later extended to include mainly Muslim Beruwala. Muslims make up around 10% of Sri Lanka's predominantly Buddhist population. Eyewitness accounts tell of Muslims being pulled off local buses and beaten. There are also reports of looting. The clashes are said to have begun after the rally held by the BBS, the Bodu Bala Sena, or Buddhist Brigade. The gathering came three days after a smaller clash between Muslim youths and a Buddhist monk's driver. After its rally, the BBS marched into Muslim areas chanting anti-Muslim slogans, reports say, and the police used tear gas to quell the violence. Unconfirmed reports say security forces also used gunfire. Witnesses say Muslim homes and a mosque were stoned. The situation is confusing and there is an air of danger as violence has spread to several areas, a BBC reporter in Aluthgama says. Sri Lankan media appear to have decided not to report the violence, with sources saying outlets have received "orders from above". President Mahinda Rajapaksa has announced an investigation. "The government will not allow anyone to take the law into their own hands. I urge all parties concerned to act in restraint," he tweeted. Correspondents say tension has recently been high between the two sides, with Muslims calling on the government to protect them from Buddhist-inspired hate attacks, and Buddhist accusing minorities of enjoying too much influence. Over the next 10 years, the organisation is looking to radically capitalise on its property portfolio to utilise another revenue stream after its government grant was cut. It claims it has more developable sites in central London than anyone else and over the next decade will redevelop 50 of those sites, mainly in zones one and two, across 10m sq ft. TfL said it intends to do this by entering into partnerships with property developers - it will put up the land while the developers will provide the bulk of the money and carry out the work, before both share the proceeds. This could mean selling off properties, leasing some commercial units and renting out flats. The land and properties on the list include South Kensington station, Parsons Green depot and Kidbrooke station. TfL said these developments would provide employment, investment and about 9,000 homes could be developed on the land. I'm told in the case of South Kensington station, any proceeds would be invested in providing step free access at that station with revenues on top of that reinvested in the transport system. Transport companies getting involved in property is not new, just look at the creation of Metroland in the 1920s. And there is no doubt TfL is becoming more and more commercial. It says it is looking to generate £3.5bn in commercial revenues over the next decade. This will certainly help the balances on the TfL spreadsheets, but there will be those for whom it will still feel incongruous that TfL is actively becoming a private landlord. Redland High School said its buildings "no longer meet the demands of a 21st century education" and it would be merging with Red Maids' School, which was founded in 1634. The new school, Redmaids' High School, will operate from the current Red Maids' site in Westbury-on-Trym. Red Maids' head, Isabel Tobias, will also head the newly merged school. Dr Tim Chambers, chair of governors at Redland High School, said education expectations had changed and their "beautiful but inflexible 18th century listed buildings no longer meet the demands of a 21st century education". "A considerably larger number of pupils is needed in the modern educational world to create the strong balance sheet to be sustainable and to invest in the educational provision our girls deserve," he added. "We can never achieve that alone on our current site." The works include The Gathering Place, a giant see-saw-like structure and also a child-friendly water feature. River Connections, another of the proposals, includes seating areas and poetry set into stones. The public art project forms part of the River Ness Flood Alleviation Scheme. The multi-million pound scheme has been built to in an effort to better protect the city from flooding. Highland Council had sought views on the art last year, but has consulted again following the addition of the child-friendly water feature and a location being given for The Gathering Place - Friars Shott near Huntly Street. Peter Phillips said the Patron's Lunch on 12 June was a not-for-profit event and would have a "carnival atmosphere". Most of the 10,000 guests will be from organisations of which the Queen is patron, with 1,000 tickets to be released in a public ballot next month. Mr Phillips said the event was "not exactly a cheap exercise" but any surplus would go into a charity fund. The majority of tickets for the event will be made available to the more than 600 charities and organisations associated with the Queen, which include Cancer Research UK, the British Red Cross and Barnardo's. They will be asked to pay £125 plus VAT - a total of £150 - per ticket, but will be allowed to raise money with 40% of their tickets. In February a ballot will open to the public for a minimum of 1,000 tickets, with winners able to buy them from the event's website. Each guest will receive an individual hamper of food at tables set up along the length of The Mall, where entertainers will perform. The cost of the event is being subsidised by corporate sponsors and official partners, including Boots, BT, Pimms, M&S and Unilever. It is being organised for an undisclosed "set fee" by events company Sports and Entertainment Ltd (SEL), of which Mr Phillips is a director. Remarking on the cost of the tickets, Mr Phillips said the event's corporate partners had "provided the funding for the majority of the costs". He said: "This is a not-for-profit event. SEL is being paid a set fee basically to take this from sign-off from the palace through to delivery of the event." A spokeswoman for the Patron's Lunch said support from the event's partners did not cover its costs fully and tickets offered "genuine value". Some charities welcomed the event as a way to celebrate the Queen as their patron, and raise awareness. Action for Children said The Patrons' Lunch was a "unique opportunity to be able to reward some of our volunteers and supporters". The Dogs Trust said it was an opportunity to "raise vital awareness and funds for our key campaigns with supporters and influencers". However, international Christian charity Mothers' Union, whose first royal patron was Queen Victoria, said it understood why questions had been raised about the cost of tickets, and was still considering whether to participate. "We look towards the event as a potential opportunity, one which must ultimately support our work and beneficiaries if there is to be any cost at all," head of fundraising and communications Daniel McAllister said. The party, which Princes William and Harry will also attend, will be the culmination of a weekend of national celebrations. The Queen celebrates two birthdays each year: her actual birthday on 21 April and her official birthday on a Saturday in June - this year on 11 June. The organisers hope communities around the country will be inspired to stage Patron's Lunches in their own areas and raise money for local projects. Other events taking place over the Queen's official birthday weekend will include a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral and the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony, also known as the Queen's Birthday Parade, at Horse Guards Parade. Any surplus money from the Patron's Lunch will be allocated to a newly created Patron's Fund, which will be used to support specific initiatives and projects run by the Queen's charities. Mr Phillips said the Queen had heard about his plans before he had a chance to tell her, and thought they were "a great idea". He recalled that upon approaching her with the idea she said: "I've heard you're up to something." He added: "There's a huge amount of pride, the fact that I'm able to celebrate, to put something on, to put a celebration on which ultimately she appreciates, she enjoys and she thinks is a great idea." Since April, those aged 55 and over have been able to take their pension pot in cash, rather than buy an annuity to provide a retirement income. Taking pension savings in one go could lead to a significant income tax bill. Such income tax revenue this year is expected to be more than double the amount predicted by the Treasury. It forecast an estimated £320m would have landed in the Treasury's coffers in 2015-16. Yet tax is actually likely to bring in an extra £700m over the year, research for BBC News from Hargreaves Lansdown suggests. Some pensioners have used cash from their pension pots to pay for holidays and cars. The resulting tax revenue, which is brought forward from later years, will be welcome for Chancellor George Osborne as he tries to make savings, to be outlined in Wednesday's Budget. "It looks as if the chancellor could be in for a handy windfall, thanks to his pension reforms," said Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown. "It is important to bear in mind, though, that this will simply bring forward tax revenues and consumer spending which would otherwise have been paid out over the years and decades to come. "It also underlines the importance of maintaining a stable pension system which continues to encourage and reward responsible long-term savings habits." The original estimates when the pension reforms were first announced were for extra tax revenue totalling £320m going to the Treasury in 2015-16, rising to £1.2bn in 2018-19. The Treasury said that the fact some 60,000 people had accessed £1bn of money from their pension pots was evidence that the reforms were a success in allowing people to control their own savings.

Williams, 17, was fighting in just her second competition of 2016 following two major ankle operations. "I didn't expect a medal, let alone gold," said the Blackwood fighter and 2014 world junior champion. "I can't even explain it, I'm just overwhelmed. "I've just come back from injury so it's my second competition [and] to win a major it's insane, I can't explain it." It was a dramatic afternoon for the youngster who beat Ukraine's Tetiana Tetereviatnykova 11-10 on golden point in the quarter-final, before edging out Croatia's Matea Jelic 13-12 in the last four. Williams made her return to competitive action in April's President's Cup after having two ankle reconstruction operations in the last two years. She has not qualified for the Rio Olympics, but is targeting success at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger gambled by leaving Alexis Sanchez - his leading scorer with 17 Premier League goals - on the bench but the ploy failed miserably as Liverpool took control by the break. Roberto Firmino's far-post finish put Liverpool ahead after nine minutes and Sadio Mane confirmed their superiority with an emphatic strike just before half-time. Sanchez, predictably, emerged as a substitute at the start of the second half and set up a goal for Danny Welbeck that gave Arsenal hope but Georginio Wijnaldum struck on the break deep into injury-time to seal Liverpool's win. Liverpool are now up to third, level with Manchester City on 52 points - but Arsenal are now in fifth trailing that pair by two points. Arsenal and Arsene Wenger had so much riding on this game - a meeting where they knew defeat would leave them outside the Premier League's top four. It made his decision to leave his most dangerous attacker Sanchez on the bench totally inexplicable, Wenger's tactical ploy backfiring badly as Liverpool assumed control in those crucial first 45 minutes. Brave or desperate? Or a touch of both? Either way it was consigned to the dustbin at the interval. Wenger preferred the physicality and aerial threat of Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck but Arsenal's failure to arrive in any attacking positions in the first half totally negated any impact he hoped they would have. The folly of Wenger's selection was further exposed by the manner in which Sanchez transformed Arsenal's approach when he emerged as a substitute, setting up Welbeck's goal - although the Chilean's energy levels dried up as the half went on. Wenger's decisions will come under the closest scrutiny as speculation continues about his future, and if Arsenal miss out on the Champions League failed moves like this will understandably be portrayed in an unflattering light. Sanchez's demeanour at the final whistle told the tale. As Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp celebrated with his backroom team, he offered the briefest of gestures to Arsenal's fans before going straight down the tunnel. Read more:Wenger 'strong enough' to deal with decision to drop Sanchez Liverpool have faltered badly against the Premier League's strugglers, losing and performing dismally in defeat at Hull City and Leicester City - who were both in the bottom three when those games kicked off. Klopp, however, has mastered the art of overcoming Liverpool's closest rivals and this may yet be the key to achieving the top four place that was the goal before the start of the season. Klopp's record against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham is highly impressive and this victory leaves his team with seven wins, eight draws and one defeat from 16 league games. This was not a vintage Liverpool performance, but the energy and creation shown here was in stark contrast to that shown at the King Power Stadium on Monday and more akin to the recent 2-0 win against Spurs here at Anfield. Liverpool were helped by Philippe Coutinho's best display since he returned from a seven-week absence with an ankle injury, while Ragnar Klavan offered a more physical defensive presence than Lucas, dropped after the Leicester debacle. This result keeps Liverpool in the shake-up for a Champions League place - but also underscores why they have collapsed in the title race. Results against your closest rivals, while desirable, are not enough on their own. Quietly and without fuss, Wijnaldum is having a fine impact at Liverpool in his first season since his £25m move from Newcastle United. He operates in the shadow of more eye-catching players such as Coutinho, Adam Lallana and Firmino, but he is missed when he is not playing and contributes vital goals when he does. Wijnaldum scored the winner against Manchester City, the equaliser against Chelsea and the vital third goal here. The man for the big occasion. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "It was one of the best games we have played so far because of the strength of our opponent. "We did really well. We had hard words after the defeat at Leicester. We analysed it and that wasn't enjoyable. "We had another opportunity and we took it today. It's the rollercoaster of the Premier League. "All of them played a fantastic game. When we are compact it's fantastic. Adam Lallana can come out of the formation and trigger something. Being compact and stable is the basis of each good display. "We knew Arsenal would bounce back in the second half. Alexis Sanchez is the highest quality player and plays different to Danny Welbeck. Simon Mignolet saved our lives. "It's important to go back to fourth above Arsenal. We really felt bad last week, we needed a few days to understand what happened." Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "Our performance was not at the level we expect in the first half but that is down to a lack of rhythm, we have not played for a while. "The collective response was very strong in the second half." Liverpool have over a week to recover before they host Burnley on Sunday, 12 March in the Premier League. But Arsenal have no such luck. They welcome Bayern Munich to the Emirates for the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie on Tuesday, 7 March with a 5-1 deficit to turn around.

When Yahoo first disclosed the theft of millions of its users' details in September, it only made mention of a "recent investigation". At the time, Verizon - which is buying part of Yahoo - said it had only been told of the breach the same week. In its latest filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Yahoo acknowledged that the telecoms firm might now reconsider the $4.8bn (£3.9bn) takeover of its internet operations. "As a result of facts relating to the security incident [Verizon] may seek to terminate the stock purchase agreement or renegotiate the terms of the sale," it said. There had already been speculation that Yahoo had been aware of a problem for some time. In September, the Wall Street Journal reported that the tech firm had detected a cyber-breach in the autumn of 2014 that it believed had been launched from computers in Russia. However, the paper said that its unnamed source did not know whether the two attacks were connected. In its filing, Yahoo indicates that it only discovered information from at least 500 million accounts - including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and unencrypted security questions and answers - had been stolen after it had looked into another unsubstantiated claim. It said that it subsequently "intensified an ongoing broader review" that caused it to re-examine "access to the company's network by a state-sponsored actor", which it had identified in late 2014. It added that evidence had since come to light that suggested the hacker had created cookies that let them bypass the need to enter passwords to access users' accounts. And it revealed that law enforcement officers had been given data by a hacker who claimed it had come from Yahoo's users accounts. The firm said it would now help analyse the shared data. "It was a good day to bury the news," commented Dr Joss Wright from the University of Oxford's Internet Institute, referring to the fact that Yahoo's filing had coincided with the US election results. "Because there's rarely a large visible event when a breach happens, companies can choose not to report them hoping that they can fix the problem internally. "They may calculate the risk to their reputation outweighs the potential risks of the details later coming out beyond their control. "That's why we need to have better enforced laws that require companies to reveal breaches and notify their consumers." Yahoo did acknowledge a server breach in October 2014 but said at the time that no user data had been lost. A spokeswoman for Yahoo was unable to comment about the timing of the filing or provide other information. However, it is common for US companies to file 10Q disclosure forms to the SEC 40 days after the close of a quarter. Under the plan, Chinese nationals visiting the EU will not need to submit separate UK visa applications if they book with selected travel agents. Mr Osborne is trying to persuade more Chinese companies to invest in the UK. But he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that his trip was also about changing British attitudes to China. "Many people think of China as a sweat shop on the Pearl River. Yet it is at the forefront of medicine, computing and technology. It's a very rapidly changing country." Earlier, Mr Osborne told an audience of students that his visit was about "much more than a collection of business deals". "What I really want it to be about is strengthening the understanding between our two nations, deepening our friendship, working out where by working together we can improve the lives of all our citizens," he said in a speech to university students in Beijing. How much of UK plc does China own? "Yes, of course, we have differences, different political systems, we attach value to different things, and we shouldn't be afraid of pointing out where we disagree. "But let us not do it in a way that is not respectful of each other and tries to understand each other, and let us try to overcome our differences and work together in peaceful co-operation. "Because ultimately we want the same thing - a better life for our citizens." Adam Marshall, director of policy at business lobby group the British Chambers of Commerce, said UK businesses would "breathe a collective sigh of relief" at the plans to simplify Chinese visa applications. "For too long, Britain has courted Chinese investment and tourism without facilitating the entry of Chinese visitors with the same vigour. A responsive visa system is crucial to demonstrating that the UK is open to trade and investment," he added. During his week-long trip, Mr Osborne has already unveiled a deal in which a Chinese firm took a 20% stake in a new business park in Manchester. And on Sunday came details of the visa changes. Currently, Chinese visitors can apply for a single visa to visit much of Europe but a separate one is required to travel to the UK. It is thought that the extra paperwork is deterring many Chinese visitors from including the UK in a trip to Europe. A mobile visa scheme that already operates in Beijing and Shanghai will be expanded as part of the changes. Under the mobile service, which was first tested by executives at Wanda, the company that bought Sunseeker yachts, officials go out to applicants to collect their paperwork and biometric data. The process can take less than five minutes. A 24-hour "super priority" visa service will also be available from next summer. The moves will be welcomed by UK businesses who want to benefit from Chinese tourists. In his speech, Mr Osborne said: "Let me make this clear to you and to the whole of China, there is no limit to the number of Chinese who could study in Britain. "There is no limit to the number of Chinese tourists who can visit. No limit on the amount of business we can do together." According to the government, last year 210,000 visas were issued to Chinese nationals and they contributed about £300m to the UK economy. Defending champions the USA took their first win in race six on Saturday but were again easily distanced on Sunday. The Kiwis, who dominated as they won both of the day's races, can seal overall victory in the best-of-13 series on Monday. The final is a repeat of the last time the trophy was contested in 2013, when USA came from 8-1 down to win 9-8. Four years ago, New Zealand were eventually overhauled by an USA team that also featured Britain's Ben Ainslie as tactician in what is regarded as one of sport's great comebacks. Ainslie's British team were knocked out at the semi-final stage this year, losing 5-2 to the Kiwis. The America's Cup, the oldest competition in international sport, was first raced in 1851 around the Isle of Wight and has only been won by four nations.

The 69-year-old, who competed for Great Britain at three Olympics before taking up the microphone, picks out the highlights of his commentary career. "Recently, clearly, my favourite has been Mo Farah, the winner of an unprecedented set of medals at the very highest level. "During the middle of my career, it was Ethiopian great Haile Gebrselassie. "And at the beginning of my career it would have been Seb Coe." "The best performance I ever commentated on was Haile Gebrselassie winning the 10,000m at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. "He hadn't trained for three or four weeks beforehand because of an injury. "The rest of the field did not know and Kenya's Paul Tergat, who was arguably the fastest in the world at the time, did not take advantage. "Gebrselassie should never have won that race but he did because he just had not learned how to lose. "He was not fit enough to win, but he dug it out and did not show anyone that he was in pain. "He could not run a lap of honour at the end, he had to walk it instead. He didn't run again that year. "It was a heroic performance, that is why it stands out in my memory." "Mo Farah winning in the 10,000m in London 2012 was the most exciting race I have seen. Media playback is not supported on this device "Could this guy, who hadn't even made the final in 2008, really deliver on the form he had showed and win gold in front of a home crowd? "He could." "In the Great North Run in 2013 we had Mo Farah, Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele - three greatest athletes of all time - competing in the race I had founded, running past Gateshead Stadium where I had made my name by breaking the 3,000m world record in 1974. "The combination of those three elements made for a very emotional moment." "London 2012, an event that will never be forgotten." "It was 1985 and Steve Jones and Charlie Spedding were running neck and neck, one and two, at the London Marathon. "At that time we did not have many cameras. We switched from a shot of the two of them together to a brass band playing near the Cutty Sark. "When we cut back, Charlie was running on his own with Steve out of shot. "Next time we saw Steve he was rubbing his hamstring and I said to my co-commentator David Coleman, 'it looks like Steve Jones has had to stop because of a cramp'. "David, noticing that Steve was cleaning his leg rather than rubbing his muscles, said 'I think you have got one letter wrong there.'" "It is the privilege of translating my thoughts and views on something I love to the most knowledgeable athletics audience in the world. "The BBC athletics audience have been watching the sport since the four-minute mile 60-odd years ago. "That is a privilege I'll miss." Media playback is not supported on this device Lukas Schubert's close-range finish put the visitors ahead but Dundalk hit back with a low finish from John Mountney and a powerful Brian Gartland header. The champions dominated the second half and David McMillan fired home the third from Daryl Horgan's clever pass. Shamrock Rovers beat Galway 4-2 to go a point above Derry while Dundalk moved eight points clear at the top. The champions were playing their sixth game in a fortnight and Candystripes boss Kenny Shiels hoped to capitalise on any possible tiredness. Indeed, Derry were in front after just six minutes when keeper Gary Rogers parried a Barry McNamee shot and Schubert was perfectly placed to slot in. The hosts showed no signs of weary legs, however, and they struck twice in four minutes to take control of the game. Mountney levelled with a crisp half-volley into the bottom corner on 13 minutes before Gartland headed in from a rebound after Dane Massey's header crashed against the bar. Aaron McEneff came come to an equaliser on 27 minutes when his 30-yard free-kick whistled just over the Lilywhites bar. Derry rarely threatened for the remainder of the match as Stephen Kenny's side took a grip on affairs. The excellent Horgan set up McMillan to give Dundalk a two-goal cushion, with the forward rifling just inside the post for his 20th goal of the season. McMillan poked over and Gerard Doherty denied Massey as Dundalk ran out comfortable winners. The prime minister flew on a Boeing 757 to Jordan and Saudi Arabia for her three-day visit, while the prince travelled in Europe on the RAF Voyager. About £10m was spent refitting the Airbus A330 for royals and ministers. Clarence House said the Prince of Wales' and Duchess of Cornwall's tour was booked before the PM's trip. The prince, who stopped in Austria, Romania and Italy during the nine-day tour, was joined by his personal doctor, an artist to capture scenic vistas, and a hairdresser for the duchess. There were also senior members of their household, embassy officials from the countries visited, government ministers, British press and RAF ground crew onboard. The Queen is understood to get priority to use the plane, followed by Prince Charles. The prime minister is then third in line, before other government ministers, who can also use it for official business. A Downing Street spokesman said: "The royal visit was organised some time in advance of the PM's Middle East visit, in discussion with the government. "Two visits at the same time means one aircraft will always have to be chartered." When the refit took place under previous Prime Minister David Cameron, the government said it would save the taxpayer £775,000 a year on the cost of private charters and could still be used for its primary job of air-to-air refuelling. "It makes no difference to the public purse whether Voyager is used by a member of the royal family or the prime minister," the spokesman added. Dynamo were ordered to play two games behind closed doors after racist attacks on spectators during October's game against Chelsea. Uefa has reduced the ban on appeal to one match, which was served against Maccabi Tel Aviv on 9 December. Manchester City travel to Kiev's Olimpiyskyi Stadium on 24 February. The return leg at Etihad Stadium will take place on 15 March. Uefa punished Dynamo in November after video footage showed an apparent attack on four black men at Chelsea's 0-0 draw in Ukraine on 20 October. Dynamo's fine of 100,000 euros (£76,000) has been reduced to 50,000 euros (£38,000). The group of top research universities says Brexit is causing EU staff "uncertainty and anxiety" and making the recruitment of others harder. The group has outlined 10 points it says the government must answer. Ministers say they want "a reciprocal agreement as quickly as possible". The Russell Group is composed of 24 universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow and Cardiff, which are often oversubscribed at undergraduate level and heavily focused on research. In a briefing note, the group calls the contribution of EU nationals to research and teaching at its institutions "crucial". "More broadly, EU staff and students add to the diversity of our campuses and enrich the learning experience for all," it said. "We need to do everything we can to ensure these individuals feel valued and supported to stay in the UK." Prime Minister Theresa May has outlined plans requiring EU nationals resident in the UK to apply for "settled status", which would effectively guarantee them indefinite leave to remain in the country once Britain leaves the bloc. The proposed status would be given to any EU citizen who has been living in the UK continuously for five years. Those who have been resident for less than five years would be allowed to stay and apply for settled status when they have accumulated the necessary time. Among the 10 points in the briefing paper is a call for EU nationals who already have permanent residence to be "transferred automatically" to settled status. It argues that: "There is no need to reassess these individuals' right to be in the UK." Other points include: The UK wants the issue to be resolved swiftly, although the EU described Mrs May's offer as a "damp squib" and warned it would give EU citizens fewer rights than their British counterparts. Russell Group head of policy Jessica Cole said: "Brexit is causing uncertainty and anxiety for EU staff, who need clarity over their future rights as soon as possible. "There are around 25,000 members of staff from other EU countries at Russell Group universities delivering high-quality teaching and cutting-edge research. We value our EU colleagues and want them to stay. "EU staff, students and universities need to be able to plan for the future with confidence. "We urge the Government to secure an agreement with the EU on citizens' rights at the earliest possibility." A government spokeswoman said: "We have been clear about our commitment to the UK's world-class higher education sector. "The government wants to reach a reciprocal agreement for EU citizens in Britain and UK nationals in Europe as quickly as possible. We are developing a new application process and will ensure that it is as light-touch, streamlined and user-friendly as possible. "We recognise that there are a wide range of individual circumstances to consider and we will continue to engage with the sector as this work develops." The council currently owns Swansea City FC's ground but is exploring a deal to sell or lease the stadium to the club's new American owners. Council leader Rob Stewart said he was expecting a conclusion "soon". The matter is set to be discussed by Swansea council's cabinet next Thursday. The council paid £27m to build the Liberty Stadium, which opened in 2005 with the Swans and Ospreys RFC both playing there. The clubs pay a peppercorn rent to the Swansea Stadium Management Company (SSMC) - a body running the stadium which is a partnership between the council and the two clubs. But Mr Stewart said that the SSMC was "not fit for purpose anymore" following the success and growth of both clubs. "For some time now we have said we are quite happy to consider the sale of the stadium or a different lease," Mr Stewart said. "The American owners are keen to take control of the stadium because they would like to commercialise the asset to grow the Swans and that's what they're talking to us about. "I'm expecting for us to come to a conclusion soon. I would hope that we are driving towards the same thing. "My balance, as council leader, is to ensure we get the right deal for the taxpayer but give the club freedom to be even more successful." A spokesman for the Swans confirmed that the club are looking to lease the stadium, which could include naming rights and expansion Matthew had presented Sounds of the 60s since April 1990. His last full show was broadcast in November 2016, but he returned in February for a final compilation programme. He also presented on TV, fronting ITV show Thank Your Lucky Stars which featured bands including The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Matthew died on Saturday at the age of 88. BBC director general Tony Hall said he was "an outstanding broadcaster who entertained and engaged millions over generations". "He had a wonderful style of delivery and a real connection with his listeners," he said. "Brian was a true broadcasting great. We will all miss him and of course, that voice." Head of Radio 2 Lewis Carnie paid tribute, saying Matthew would be "sadly missed by us all". He was a "much loved and valued presenter on Radio 2 - by both the audience and his colleagues", added Mr Carnie. "He presented Sounds of the Sixties for 27 years and we had hoped to be able to carry on working with him in a new series where he could share his memories from his distinguished career with us," he said. "Sadly it was not to be." Former Radio 2 Controller Bob Shennan paid tribute to his "wit and warmth", adding: "Brian was a radio legend. For decades, his voice was the sound of Saturday mornings... He will be sorely missed." Referring to his on-air sign-off, the station tweeted: "Farewell to your old mate and ours, Brian Matthew." Matthew was born in Coventry to a singer mother and conductor father. He began broadcasting at the British Forces Network and later worked at Radio Netherlands Worldwide. He worked for the BBC from 1954 and was the voice of the explosion of pop music. It was revealed earlier this week that Matthew was critically ill, after Radio 2 initially mistakenly announced his death. His passing on Saturday morning was confirmed by Radio 2 and by Matthew's god-daughter. Solicitors acting for Damien Harris have written to the party saying they could take the issue to the High Court. The BBC has seen a letter from a firm of solicitors that has been sent to the Labour Party's headquarters in England. It claims that the bar on candidates is discriminatory and goes against human rights legislation. The party set up a review on this subject but that inquiry has been paused - a move that has been questioned by Mr Harris' legal team. He is a member of the executive of the Labour Party in Northern Ireland. Mr Harris said: "I, and thousands of members of the Labour Party in Northern Ireland, have grown impatient at the continuing delays with the review into the rights of members in Northern Ireland to stand for election. "We are demanding one simple thing - to be afforded the same rights of membership as any other member of the Labour Party". He added that he had lost faith in the review process, and that "perpetuating this discriminatory prohibition is the antithesis of the very reason the Labour Party was first formed". Sorry, your browser cannot display this content. Enter a postcode or seat name It is not the first time legal action has been taken against the party - a challenge over a bar on local membership was successful which resulted in Northern Ireland supporters being allowed to join Labour. ◾Live: The latest from the campaign trail ◾Tories won't 'look again' at social care plans ◾Labour will 'in effect' end benefits freeze The Labour Party in London has been given until 2 June to respond to this latest challenge. In response, a spokesperson for the party said the review into candidates standing in Northern Ireland has been paused because of the forthcoming general election. They said the review will begin again after the poll on 8 June. At the weekend, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was criticised for refusing to specifically condemn the IRA when questioned about his involvement in Northern Ireland politics. The Labour leader said "all bombing is wrong", as he was repeatedly asked to condemn the IRA alone for its role in the Troubles. He said he had worked hard to help secure peace in Northern Ireland. The deal gives SABMiller a foothold in the "fastest-growing segment of the UK beer market", the company said in a statement. SABMiller plans to grow sales of Meantime's beers nationally and possibly export to Europe. The acquisition of the 16-year-old company is expected to be completed in June 2015. "They see the opportunity, and believe in the longevity, of modern craft beer in the UK," said Meantime's chief executive, Nick Miller. "We love local variety, and carefully nurture our 200 local and heritage beers," said Sue Clark, managing director of SABMiller Europe. The Jolly Nero smashed into the 50m (164ft) concrete and glass tower late on Tuesday, causing it to collapse. Rescue workers have been searching in the rubble for survivors while divers are scouring the surrounding water. The ship's captain is being investigated by prosecutors with a view to possible manslaughter charges. Officials, though, have said that some sort of mechanical failure was most likely to blame for what happened. The vessel has been impounded and its "black box" seized by investigators, according to Italy's Ansa news agency. By Alan Johnston BBC News, Rome Italians woke up to the shocking images of the devastation that had unfolded in the night on the quayside in Genoa. And inevitably, the scene stirred memories of the last major maritime accident in Italy; the sinking of the Costa Concordia cruise ship not much more than a year ago. The loss of life then was much greater. But in this latest incident you again had an Italian-owned and -operated vessel in another deadly collision that seemed hard to explain. And the people of Genoa are stunned. The control tower was a major landmark in the port area of this seafaring city. And it was torn out of the skyline in the most brutal way, at the cost of several lives. Genoa will be in mourning for days to come. The accident occurred at about 23:00 on Tuesday (21:00 GMT), when a shift change was taking place in the control tower and about 13 people were thought to be inside. Several of the bodies were recovered from an area near the tower's submerged elevator. The Jolly Nero was manoeuvring out of the port with the help of tugboats in calm conditions, on its way to Naples, reports said. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear, but Italian Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said there could have been a problem with the ship's engines or with the tugboat cables. Genoa's Il Secolo XIX newspaper quoted one of the Jolly Nero's pilots as saying: "Two engines seem to have failed and we lost control of the ship." The head of the Genoa Port Authority, Luigi Merlo, told the newspaper: "It's very difficult to explain how this could have happened because the ship should not have been where it was." Two tug boats were moving the vessel, there was a port pilot on board, and sea conditions were "perfect", he added. "It's a terrible tragedy. We're in turmoil, speechless," Mr Merlo told local TV. The ship's owner, Stefano Messina, who arrived at the port soon after the crash, had tears in his eyes as he told journalists: "We are all utterly shocked. Nothing like this has ever happened before, we are desperate." Genoa is Italy's busiest port. Mayor Marco Doria said there was an average of 14 accidents a year, but that the incident late on Tuesday was unprecedented. All that was left of the control tower after the crash was a buckled metal exterior staircase. "It was an incredible sight: the control tower was leaning perilously," the port's nightwatchman told La Repubblica newspaper. Six of those killed have so far been identified. Two of them - Maurizio Potenza and Michele Robazza - were pilots for the port. Another three - Fratantonio Daniel, David Morella and Marco De Candussio - were coastguard officers. The sixth was Sergio Basso, who worked for a tugboat operator. Four people were being treated for injuries, two of whom were in critical condition. "The main injuries are fractures, crushed body parts, significant traumas," emergency services doctor Andrea Furgani said. The Jolly Nero is almost 240m (787ft) long and has a gross tonnage of nearly 40,600 tonnes. It is owned by the Italian firm Ignazio Messina & Co. The BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome says that whatever the cause of the crash, it has revived memories of the accident involving the Costa Concordia cruise ship off the Italian island of Giglio in January 2012, which left 32 people dead. Now another Italian-owned and -operated ship has been involved in a deadly accident and the nation's reputation for maritime safety has taken a further beating, our correspondent adds. Indian detectives believe Ranjit Power, 54, a hotelier from Wolverhampton, was murdered. He was last seen at an airport in Amritsar, Punjab on 8 May. His family feared he had been kidnapped and reported him missing a week later. The Foreign Office has confirmed the death of a British national in India. Local journalist Ravinder Singh Robin told the BBC a local man has been arrested and police are examining a car they think was used in connection with the murder. Mr Robin said Mr Power had been strangled. A total of 1,944 people submitted their self-assessment forms online on Christmas Day, according to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Another 6,214 submitted on Christmas Eve, and 6,200 did so on Boxing Day. About 10 million people are in the self-assessment system. The deadline for online filing is 31 January. Returns up to three months late will incur a fine of at least £100. Those submitting forms on paper needed to do so by 31 October. The self-employed and those with more than one source of income must file. Accountants say changing work methods mean more people may be in the system. A rising number of entrepreneurs and self-employed freelancers found in the more flexible "gig" economy will have to grapple with their own tax returns. The HMRC figures show a slight fall in the number of people filing on Christmas Day compared with last year, but the total of those submitting on Boxing Day rose by nearly 800 over the same period. Accountants have suggested that those who do not celebrate Christmas may be among those completing the forms, although others included people using the Bank Holiday break as an opportunity to catch up with paperwork. This follows Walton agreeing a new four-year contract with the Seagulls. It will be the 21-year-old's fifth loan move in the past three seasons, with Albion having the option to recall the England Under-21 international. "Following the departure of Matt Gilks it was clear we needed reinforcements," Wigan boss Paul Cook told the club website. "Christian has a bright future and we're delighted he's come to us." Of the loan deal, Brighton manager Chris Hughton told Albion's club website: "This is a good move for all concerned - both clubs and the player. Christian needs to be playing regularly, and Wigan offer him the opportunity to do that in League One." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page. The unit's involvement began when they supported Special Forces in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden in the Tora Bora mountain caves. As government policy changed in the years after 2001, each deployment has come with its own goals and sacrifices, such as Operation Herrick 12 when 14 Royal Marines lost their lives in 2010. Here, some Royal Marines share their experiences. Royal Marine, Robbie Neen was on the final deployment to Afghanistan, when Cpl David O'Connor was killed in a gun battle on 24 October 2012. He said: "Everyone was shocked. It was quiet up until that point, and when it did happen, everyone was speechless really. "It was a sad, sad loss for 40. You pay your respects and then you have to get on with your job once you're out there." Warrant Officer 2 Andy Staff said: "You never get used to it, because the Royal Marines are a relatively small organisation in the military. But each loss is felt. You have to just get on with it, the job doesn't stop." "We are a very close-knit community anyway, but when you go to somewhere like Afghanistan, those bonds become even closer because you're living with somebody day in and day out." Colour Sgt Dominic Conway said that when he was initially deployed, 40 Commando was giving support to Special Forces in "hunting the Taliban down". "We'd initially gone in there straight after 9/11 and we were doing basically what soldiers do, going out on the ground trying to find evidence of insurgents, although we didn't call them that at the time," he said. "With the help of the Northern Alliance, we were looking to get rid of the Taliban. "It wasn't for a huge amount [of time], it was exciting, I was relieved to be involved in it, I count my blessings really," added Colour Sgt Conway. The main purpose of the final tour has been handing over to the Afghan forces as part of staged withdrawal due to be completed by the end of 2014. Sgt Robert Norcliffe has served on Operation Herrick 5, 6 and 7. He said: "With Gereshk, the way things are different compared to five years ago when I was there last, is how much busier that town is now. "We moved through that town with a lot less aggressive posture than we did in 2007. "People feel safe, it was always a market town and when everyone was fighting there, the British, the Taliban, the American forces, people leave. "Once there's a little bit of confidence, a little bit more security, it gets to the point where it gets busier and busier to the point where you can barely get vehicles down the road." Colour Sgt Conway said: "Over the years, we've managed to degrade them. The leadership might be there, but the Taliban or insurgency is pretty much defunct. "It will be remembered as a 10-year part of my career, I think what we've done out there has worked, I feel a sense of pride and a sense of achievement to do that. "My wife says I feel more for a bloke I shared a tent with for six months, but I'm sure she's wrong on that." Warrant Officer 2 Andy Staff said: "The security forces have brought on the local Afghan forces to a massive extent. They were basically non-existent when I first went out there. "They will never be as good as the Americans, the French, the British, they just haven't got that grounding but they are infinitely better than they ever were before. "The big question is can the country keep paying them, if the country can keep on paying them, I think there is a future for Afghanistan."

19 April 2017 Last updated at 15:46 BST The 31-year-old from Sheffield in South Yorkshire has received the honour 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. Media playback is not supported on this device Research on the topic has been ongoing for years but the subject has been revived after IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died from head injuries in a crash in August. World champion Lewis Hamilton said: "I see closed cockpits as potentially the future. We've had too many fatalities." McLaren driver Fernando Alonso added: "If one closed cockpit saves one life, it is worth doing it." Wilson's crash, in which the 37-year-old Englishman suffered fatal head injuries after being hit by debris, was the latest in a series of deaths or major injuries in recent years in open-cockpit racing cars. F1 driver Jules Bianchi died in July nine months after colliding with a recovery vehicle in the Japanese Grand Prix. IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed in 2011 after his head hit debris fencing. F1 test driver Maria De Villota died a year after colliding with the back of a lorry in a test at an airfield. And Formula Two driver Henry Surtees - son of 1964 F1 world champion John Surtees - was killed when he was hit on the head by a loose wheel in 2009. McLaren driver Jenson Button said: "It is time. I am one of the people who have always said it is an open-cockpit formula, but I don't care about that any more. "It has been too much over the last couple of years. We have lost some amazing talent in the sport and some amazing individuals. "I raced with Justin when I was nine years old - it was me, Justin, Dan Wheldon and Anthony Davidson - and it was such great racing. And two of them are gone, through injuries that could have been helped by a closed cockpit or canopy. "It is too much and hopefully it will happen sooner or later." Hamilton added that he was conflicted on the issue. "Growing up, watching, it has always been open-cockpit, but sometimes change is the way forward. We have got to make some changes. "Drivers have been really unfortunate but maybe it doesn't have to be closed. There are different mechanisms we could have." However, Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg said he was against the idea. "Obviously there's pros and cons but I see single-seater racing as open cockpits," the German said. "When we sign up for this we know there's some risk involved and there could potentially be some danger, but that's in the DNA of racing and motorsport and I think we shouldn't sterilise the whole thing and make everything too clinical and overprotect everything. "That's not good for the sport and might make things a bit unattractive." Governing body the FIA is to conduct tests on a series of potential designs later in September, among them a 'halo' design pioneered by Hamilton's Mercedes team. The FIA has previously rejected a closed jet-fighter-style canopy and a forward roll-hoop structure. The protest began in July 2013 after a Parades Commission determination not to allow a return leg of an Orange parade to pass a section of the Crumlin road. Campaigners vowed to keep protesting until the original parade is allowed to return past the Ardoyne shops. Policing the nightly demonstrations has so far cost more than £18m. Addressing Thursday night's parade, County Grand Master of the Orange Lodge of Belfast, George Chittick, thanked those who have taken part in the campaign. "We have always said from the start - we don't need thousands or even hundreds each evening, the protest is not a numbers game" Mr Chittick said. "But we do need and have the support of tens of thousands of people from all shades of unionism and loyalism who are committed to see the Ligoniel lodges complete their 12th July parade." However, Fr Gary Donegan, from the nearby Holy Cross parish in Ardoyne, said it was time for both loyalist protesters and nationalist residents to "draw a line in the sand" and try to reach a solution to the dispute through talks. "Anybody has a right to protest," Fr Donegan told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme. "I suppose, the question that people are now asking is... where does it actually go from here?" The priest has been involved in cross-community work to prevent young nationalists and loyalists from engaging in sectarian conflict at the north Belfast interface. Fr Donegan said the protest was now "being ignored" by nationalists but was still causing nightly disruption to traffic and some residents in the immediate vicinity of the protest camp. About 20 homes were affected by flooding in the Wester Inch estate, Bathgate, on 24 and 27 February. The 27in (69cm) water pipe served more than 25,000 properties across Bathgate, Blackburn and Livingston. Scottish Water said it would answer questions at a public meeting in the area on Sunday. Mark McEwen, Scottish Water's customer service general manager, said: "We have established after detailed analysis and significant changes that we can operate the local water supply network in future without the need to use this particular section of water pipe. "We also plan to invest in other areas of the water supply network to ensure continuity of supply in the wider West Lothian area. "We will keep customers updated on our plans, but in the meantime can confirm that the section of water pipe where these bursts occurred will not be used again." The defending Scottish Premiership champions and current leaders visit Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Sunday. "It's important as coach and manager you intervene because if you leave it, it maybe can continue," said Rodgers. "The first morning we were back in we were able to reflect on it and that's your lever to move on." Celtic opened their Champions League group campaign at the Nou Camp having won four league games out of four, including last weekend's 5-1 defeat of Rangers. However, Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick and Luis Suarez scored twice as Barca inflicted the third defeat of Rodgers' reign as Celtic boss with the other two losses coming during the club's Champions League qualifying campaign. "For us there is no leftover feeling from the other night," said the former Liverpool boss. "In the last couple of days it's just been about stabilising the emotion of the week really. The players have been absolutely outstanding since the day I walked in here and we've been given some harsh lessons in the Nou Camp the other night against arguably the world's best ever team. "It was a difficult night for us and that 24 hours afterwards, it's disappointing and a very humbling experience when that happens to you. "Make no mistake, they've made a real stride by qualifying for the Champions League because it's a real difficult process to come through and I think you look at the team we beat in the final qualification game, Hapoel Beer Sheva. "They go to the San Siro and win 2-0 [against Inter Milan in the Europa League] so that tells you the level of task that you have over six games in order to qualify. "So the players have done remarkably well with virtually the same group of players [as last season]. So my job is to manage the expectation within that and really make sure we improve going forward." Celtic will again be without top scorer Leigh Griffiths in the Highlands on Sunday, the striker still recovering from injury. And midfielder Stuart Armstrong said of Sunday's match: "A trip away to Inverness is a different sort of atmosphere than the last two games we played. "We're ruthless in the league so far this season and we want to continue being so. It's vital we get the three points and everyone's willing for that to happen." The authority is under pressure to make savings, and approved £4.6m of cuts to services in March. But a committee today unanimously recommended the council reject cutting pest control, and instead wants to see the service made "self-financing". Between 2014 and 2015, council pest controllers were called out 1,190 times - with wasps the most common problem. At an earlier meeting, councillors called the service "important and necessary" and said if it was closed there was "a risk that private companies would completely control the market and increase their prices". A Gwynedd Council spokesman said: "The council's corporate scrutiny committee today agreed unanimously with the recommendation of maintaining the pest control service by aiming to make the service self-financing." Police and firefighters arrived at Pontyrhodyn farm in Whitland to find Charles Chestnut making a barbecue and strumming a guitar. Chestnut, 55, told police he started the fire but refused to take part in his trial at Swansea crown court. He was convicted of arson in his absence and will be sentenced in April. Chestnut "obliterated" Pontyrhodyn farm and a barn on 19 September last year, the day he was due in court to continue his dispute with the Yorkshire Building Society. After his arrest, he told police: "I don't intend to defend it in any way whatsoever. Produce what ever charges you want and I will accept them." Tom Scapens, prosecuting, said Chestnut stopped making payments for the farm and a county court granted possession to the society in 2014. But Chestnut refused to leave the property entirely and eventually occupied a caravan on the grounds. James Taylor, a solicitor with the building society, said the £250,000 property and land was now valued at £40,000, which would not cover the outstanding mortgage. Judge Geraint Walters told the jury he would have been worried if they had returned anything other than guilty - and said he had been unable to tell them Chestnut had already admitted his guilt because he had not responded when the charge was put to him. Judge Walters said he would have to decide whether Chestnut was a dangerous offender as defined by law, partly because he had said that he would burn everything else that he owned. He said he would write to Chestnut, who is being held at Swansea prison, informing him of the verdict and asking him if he wanted a psychiatrist to asses him before the sentencing hearing. Richard Durkin claimed the HFC bank ruined his credit rating after he tried to pull out of a credit agreement when he returned the £1,499 computer to the Aberdeen branch of PC World. In 2014, judges at the UK Supreme Court awarded him £8,000. The Court of Session has now refused the offshore worker's appeal for £600,000. He had handed over £50 and signed a credit agreement with HFC in 1998, but said he was told by a sales assistant at the store in Aberdeen that the laptop could be returned if it had a problem. He later discovered that the laptop did not have an inbuilt modem. Mr Durkin was eventually paid back the £50 by PC World but HFC said he was still required to make payments under the terms of the credit agreement. In 2008 Aberdeen Sheriff Court ruled that he was entitled to reject the laptop and cancel the sale and the credit agreement and awarded damages of £116,000. The decision was overturned later by judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh after Mr Durkin himself appealed against the size of the damages. The Supreme Court then awarded him £8,000, which Mr Durkin said was a victory for the consumer but a blow for him personally. Appeal judges Lady Paton, Lord Drummond Young and Lord Malcolm have now ruled that Mr Durkin's latest action had to fail. The judges ruled that the matters brought to the court in the latest claim had already been decided two years ago in the Supreme Court. Canon Joanna Penberthy said she is "immensely humbled" to become the 129th Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire. An electoral college of 47 people from across Wales spent two days locked in St Davids Cathedral before coming to their decision. Canon Penberthy, 56, who was appointed the cathedral's first woman canon in 2007, will take over the role from the retiring Wyn Evans. The decision to allow women bishops was made following a landmark vote in September 2013. The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, called it "an historic moment" for the church. "What is really important to stress is that Joanna wasn't elected because she was a woman but because she was deemed to be the best person to be a bishop," he said. "She has considerable gifts - she is an excellent preacher and communicator, can relate to all sections of the community, is a warm, charismatic, caring priest and someone who is full of joy." Women bishops are also allowed in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, where plans were formally approved in November 2014. The first woman in England the Right Reverend Libby Lane, was made Bishop of Stockport in January 2015. St Davids' new bishop was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge and St John's College, Nottingham, she undertook ordination training at Cranmer Hall, Durham, in 1983. Canon Penberthy was then a Deaconess in the city, before working in the role in Cardiff between 1985 and 1989. She also served as a non-stipendiary minister in Cardiff, St Asaph and St Davids, between 1987 and 1995. In February 2007, while vicar of Cynwyl Gaeo, Llansawel and Talley, she became the first woman appointed canon at St Davids Cathedral, a role she remained in until 2010. She is currently the rector of the parish of Glan Ithon, near Llandrindod Wells, Powys. A UK government official overseeing the operation to remove the rig from Dalmore on Lewis said most of the escaped diesel oil had evaporated. The structure which broke free from its tow in stormy weather was carrying more than 60,000 gallons of fuel. No oil has been seen on the surface of the sea. The rig ran aground off the Hebridean island on Monday morning while being towed off west Scotland. It is understood it was being towed from Norway to Malta before later being moved to a yard in Turkey where it was to be scrapped. The structure is expected to remain at the site for some time and heavy rain and high winds have hampered efforts to fully assess the damage. Rig inspection was not possible again on Wednesday due to poor visibility. The diesel oil leaked after two of four fuel tanks on the rig were breached. Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, who is overseeing the salvage operation, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was thought that this happened during the grounding. he said the loss was "obviously a concern" but posed an "extremely low risk" to the environment. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said a maximum of 53 tonnes was thought to have been lost from the damaged tanks, adding that monitoring of the rig's condition was continuing. It said: "There is no pollution detected in the area of the rig and the MCA continue to monitor for any pollution. "As well as continual observations on scene, the MCA counter-pollution surveillance aircraft yesterday flew over the location and surrounding area to make careful observations for pollution around the rig and the nearby coast and sea and no sheen or sign of pollution has been found." The MCA added: "Diesel is a light and non-persistent oil which presents much lower environmental risks than heavy black crude oil." Poor weather conditions, including low cloud, have so far prevented a team from being airlifted by helicopter on to the rig to make further assessments of the structure. Mr Shaw told BBC Scotland that the rig's ballasts appeared to have been damaged. He said "a lot of work" had still to be done to make sure the rig was stable and safe enough to be moved. Transocean Winner ran aground during a period of high winds. Charts produced for surfers suggest there was an intense storm with sea swells in the range of 30ft while the rig was being towed off west Scotland. The tug towing Transocean Winner is understood to have got into difficulty on Sunday evening before the tow line broke in the early hours of Monday. The drilling rig ran aground at Dalmore at about 07:30 on Monday. South Devon-based Magicseaweed.com produces swell charts which are used by surfers around the world. It said storms of Sunday's intensity could occur at any time of the year, but were most frequently in winter. The orange and red colours on the charts indicate swell of up to 30ft. The Met Office had issued a yellow "be aware" warning of high winds for Sunday. Deputy First Minister John Swinney has contacted UK government officials to question why the rig was being towed when stormy conditions were forecast. BBC News Scotland online asked the rig's owner, Transocean, why the towing operation was attempted on Sunday. Responding, the company said: "During severe weather, the Transocean Winner lost its tow and subsequently grounded off the Western Isles of Scotland. No rig personnel are at risk. "Transocean is working closely with authorities to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. "Further information will be released as it becomes available." Transocean added: "An initial inspection of the rig has revealed that two fuel tanks in the starboard pontoon have been breached. Transocean is working closely with authorities to resolve the situation as expeditiously and safely as possible." Events that led to the Transocean Winner coming ashore on Lewis began on Sunday evening, according to Western Isles MP Angus MacNeil. 18:15 Sunday: Crew of Alp Forward, the tug towing the drilling rig, call for assistance in heavy seas while off the west coast of the Western Isles. 18:30 Sunday: Coastguard emergency towing vessel Herakles begins its journey from Kirkwall in Orkney. 04:15 Monday: Towing line between the rig and Alp Forward breaks. 07:30: Transocean Winner runs aground at Dalmore near Carloway on Lewis. 12:30: Herakles arrives at the scene of the grounding. The multi-agency Western Isles Emergency Planning Co-ordinating Group (WIEPCG) met on Wednesday afternoon. A spokesman for WIEPCG said the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) was conducting daily shoreline inspections and had indicated that there was no visible sign of pollution. He said: "Field chemistry staff are also on the island conducting air monitoring in the vicinity on a precautionary basis. "WIEPCG is continuing to work closely with the Secretary of State's representative's salvage group and the national agencies environment group to protect and ensure public safety. We would again reiterate that people should stay away from the area until such time as we advise." Bamba, 31, was charged by the FA for violent conduct following his sending off at Ipswich Town on 10 December. "The main charge was thrown out, we are delighted," Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock told BBC Wales Sport. "He got an extra game for the extra aggression when he came off, which he deserved." Warnock says it is a positive to only lose defender Bamba for a further one match following the outcome a hearing into the defender's conduct. "We will miss Bamba for the Brentford game. I thought it was a good hearing," he said. "As far as I am concerned that is water under the bridge now. We have spoken, I can't see it happening again. "I said to the commissioner, I was hoping he could show me more aggression. He's only been booked once this season, as a centre half." Warnock says he wants four new recruits in the January transfer window, including a goalkeeper and a defender and says they are close to signing a striker. "I've agreed to make one signing already, a young lad who I've been looking at over the last few months. I'm hoping from 1 January we'll be signing him, but that's not official yet," he said. "It's difficult with it being Wales, if they're English you've got to get international clearance for them, then clearance from Wales. I just hope the people in those departments are Cardiff City fans." Warnock has made clear he expects exits as well as arrivals in January and short-term signings Kieran Richardson and Marouane Chamakh are set to leave the club. "I will speak to those two," Warnock continued. "It is important I get the right balance. I am not 100% but I think both lads understand. They are two I could get off the wage bill, so chances are, I will be releasing them. "I feel a bit sorry for Chamakh, but at the time when I came in, I felt we needed an influx of players. I wasn't aware of Emyr Huws or Declan John, as they were away with the Welsh squads. "I didn't think we had cover for Rickie Lambert, but then I was impressed with Kenneth Zohore in training so brought him into the team. "[Richardson and Chamakh] have been good professionals, but we need to manipulate this squad and those two are easy as their contracts are up. They will both find clubs." Built by a team at Harvard University, this robot has several advantages over those with treads, wheels and rigid parts - which have a limited repertoire of movements and may have trouble navigating difficult terrain. The sea creature-inspired creation was manufactured with soft materials and its motion is driven by compressed air. Details appear in the journal PNAS. Professor George Whitesides, Robert Shepherd and their colleagues from Harvard University in Cambridge, US, said the work was inspired by animals such as squid and starfish that lack hard skeletons. The pneumatically-driven robot is built using flexible materials known as "elastomers". Contained within the elastomer layer is a series of chambers that inflate like balloons to enable motion. The robot can adopt different patterns of movement (gaits) during locomotion and its limbs are capable of fluid motions, the Harvard engineers explain. They put their creation through its paces on an obstacle course which, they say, would hinder some rigid, metallic robots. The flexible robot was made to squeeze underneath a glass plate elevated 2cm above the ground in less than a minute by executing a combination of co-ordinated movements. Soft robots are more resistant than more rigid designs to damage from some common hazards in a real-world setting, such as falling on rocks, or receiving bumps and scrapes from other hard objects. But the authors concede that the vulnerable elastomer "skins" of soft robots make them more susceptible to punctures from objects such as broken glass or thorns. Paul.Rincon-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk In 2014, there were 15,000 registered participants playing every week - a figure that has risen by 11,000 two years later. The figures formed part of the Rugby Football Union's announcement of a four-year plan for women's rugby. This includes the England Women's team adopting the nickname the 'Red Roses'. With 26,000 women and girls playing contact rugby, the RFU has surpassed its target of 25,000 one year ahead of schedule. "We set ourselves an ambitious target when launching our strategy in 2014," RFU director of rugby development Steve Grainger said. "We have created more playing opportunities in schools, clubs and universities, increased investment in facilities and strengthened our coaching base. "We are also grateful to Sport England, whose financial support has contributed significantly to this growth." He added there were more than 300 rugby clubs across the country with women's and girls teams, with opportunities to participate in sevens, the 15-player game and touch rugby. "The England Women have also played a big role, driving interest in the game following their Rugby World Cup win in 2014 and exposing the sport to a wide audience through the sevens teams' participation in [the 2016 Olympics in] Rio and the strong performance of the 15s last season." The national women's team will be adopting the 'Red Roses' nickname, although they will continue to be officially named and play as 'England Women'. "The red rose encapsulates much of what it means to be an England player," RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie said. "We wanted to create an identity for England Women that would inspire more people to get involved, whether playing or supporting the women's game. "With more professional contracts, and ever-increasing investment in the women's game from grassroots to elite level, we feel this is a pivotal moment to shine a spotlight on the game in this country." In a statement, the RFU said: "The rose, as the emblem of England Rugby, epitomises the unique qualities of England Women as strong, relentless and glorious." Since England women lifted the Rugby World Cup in 2014, 20 professional full-time sevens contracts were introduced before the Rio Olympics. This year, England Rugby announced 48 professional contracts for 15-a-side and sevens players. BBC Sport reporter Sara Orchard: "The New Zealand women have long been established as the Black Ferns and England's re-brand as the Red Roses will be part of establishing a more-dominant identity on the world stage. "The RFU's commitment to women's rugby is streets ahead of the rest of the world when they became the first governing body to offer professional women's contracts in both XVs and sevens earlier this year. "The only bone of contention will be that the England netball team is already known as the Roses, although it is likely both sports will be happy to bloom alongside one another." England Women's upcoming fixtures: 9 November: England v France, Twickenham Stoop 13 November: Ireland v England, University College Dublin 19 November: England v New Zealand, Twickenham Stoop 26 November: England v Canada, Twickenham The Scottish writer picked up the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award in Harrogate, Yorkshire, on Thursday. Gods and Beasts is the third novel in Mina's Alex Monroe series. The story sees new mother Det Monroe head a murder enquiry with links to Glasgow's criminal underworld. Mina, who has also written comics, short stories, stage plays and a graphic novel, beat competition from a shortlist that included another two-time winner Mark Billingham, Chris Ewan, Peter May, Stuart Neville and Stav Sharez. Her winning novel was selected by a public vote and a panel of experts including bestselling authors Kate Mosse - who is also the co-founder of the Orange Prize for Fiction - and Val McDermid, chair of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival. Simon Theakston, executive director of T&R Theakston, described Mina as a "deserving winner" who had established herself as a "leading name" in crime fiction. "It was a very tough decision this year as all the books on the shortlist were outstanding but I'm delighted to hand the trophy to Denise for the second time." Ruth Rendell, who has written more than 70 books, was also honoured with the outstanding contribution to fiction award. Rendell, who joins previous recipients PD James, Colin Dexter and Reginald Hill, is widely regarded as an innovator of the crime genre, under her own name and the pseudonym Barbara Vine. The panel said the award recognised her contribution to crime and to British culture. "It really is an honour to receive this award that's so cherished in the crime writing fraternity," said Rendell. "It's a joy to receive recognition for a lifetime's work but don't take that as a final full stop. Writing is essential to my life, I don't know what I'd do if I didn't write." The award, now in its ninth year, is open to British and Irish authors whose novels were published in paperback in the last year. Mina won the award in 2012 for her novel The End of the Wasp Season. Ranveer Singh was in the city to promote his new film, Befikre, with a free staged event in City Park. Mr Singh is the first major Bollywood star to visit the city since it hosted the Indian Film Awards (IFA) ceremony in 2007. Bradford was one of the first places in the UK to hold regular screenings of Hindi language films. Mr Singh, who has more than 3.6m followers on Twitter, said the large concentration of people living in the area who came from the South Asian diaspora was the reason for his visit. "I was told it has been a while since anyone had come to Bradford and usually stuff happens down south," Mr Singh said. "It is a good move to come here because there are so many people who are interested in Hindi films who are based here." Alongside his co-star and co-star Vaani Kapoor he also unveiled a statue of the pair based on a scene from the movie. Befikre is billed as a romantic crime comedy set in Paris and opens on 9 December. Bradford's long association with film was recognised by the UN in 2009 when it became the first city to be named City of Film by Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Analysis: Bradford's Bollywood Background By Shabnam Bashir Mahmood, BBC Asian Network News To have a Bollywood superstar, like Ranveer Singh, visit Bradford is a big deal for fans of Indian cinema in the city. Bradford's love of Bollywood began almost 50 years ago when it became one of the go-to places for screenings for the South Asian immigrant communities. Several cinemas opened specifically showing the all-singing, all-dancing movies that provided escapism for Pakistanis and Indians who'd settled in the UK. For many it was the only source of entertainment. My dad and his brother were among the first men in Bradford to show these films in the cinema after they had picked up the reels from distributors in London. Sometimes they would play host to one of the many actors of the time like the legendary Waheeda Rahman, Vaijayanti Mala and Helen. I was only 6 months old when I attended my first Bollywood premiere. The love for Bollywood is still as strong among Bradford's South Asian diaspora and has spread to other communities too ITV, which makes Coronation Street, said it expected similar falls for the whole of the first half of the year. The company blamed much of the fall on the strong revenues generated the previous year from its coverage of the European Championships football. Its studio operations, which make hit programmes such as Cold Feet, saw revenues grow 7%. Chief executive Adam Crozier, who last week announced he was stepping down, said the figures were "very much as we anticipated". ITV shares fell 1.5% after the announcement to 197.8p. George Salmon, Equity Analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown said: "Advertising makes up a sizeable chunk of ITV's top line and the clouds hanging over the economy mean ad budgets are being cut, which is weighing on the shares. "However, if it were not for ... Adam Crozier, one can't help but feel that the near 10% decline in the share price since Brexit would have been much worse." ITV said the lack of a major football tournament this summer will contribute to an 8% to 9% fall in advertising revenue for the first six months of 2017. The effect will be felt particularly in June, when ad sales on its TV channels are expected to be down 15% to 20% "against the tough comparator of the Euros last year". At the company's annual general meeting on Wednesday, Mr Crozier was asked if ITV would consider buying the Football League highlights, which are currently broadcast by Channel 5 but come up for renewal next year. He said that ITV looks at rights as and when they become available. Meanwhile, ITV said online advertising was growing strongly, up 22% in the first three months of the year. Mr Salmon said: "The growth in on-demand services means the challenge for [Mr Crozier's] successor will be to mould ITV into a more interactive organisation to compete with Amazon and Netflix." Studio production Since Mr Crozier's arrival at ITV seven years ago its studios and productions business has almost trebled its revenues. Last week the firm said it had acquired a majority stake in World Productions, the company behind Line of Duty, aired by the BBC. In February it bought control of French production group Tetra, and in April bought 45% of Blumhouse Television, makers of The Jinx and Cold Case Files. And it said that the weak pound, if it remained at its current level, could produce an additional £60m in revenue and £10m in profits from overseas sales over the whole year. The broadcaster said full year profits for the whole group were still in line with its forecasts. The army, which removed Mr Morsi and detained him in response to widespread unrest, has said it will allowed peaceful protests. Adly Mahmud Mansour, the top judge of the constitutional court, is now Egypt's interim leader and has promised that elections will take place soon. The African Union has announced it will suspend Egypt from all activities. Admore Kambudzi, secretary of the body's Peace and Security Council, said the move was being taken in line with AU policy "until the restoration of constitutional order". Army's populist tacticsVoices from the streets The removal of Mr Morsi by the army followed days of mass protests, largely organised by the Tamarod [Rebel] movement. The protesters accused Mr Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood - the Islamist group of which he is a member - of pursuing an Islamist agenda against the wishes of the majority, and of failing to tackle economic problems. Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, is in detention, as are senior figures in the Brotherhood. Arrests warrants have been issued for some 300 others. The army command has said it will not take "arbitrary measures against any faction or political current" and would guarantee the right to protest, as long as demonstrations did not threaten national security. "Peaceful protest and freedom of expression are rights guaranteed to everyone, which Egyptians have earned as one of the most important gains of their glorious revolution," it said. But Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad al-Haddad said the movement was refusing to co-operate with the new leadership and demanded the immediate release of those detained. At his news conference on Thursday, he said the Brotherhood would take part in "peaceful, people-led protest". Mohamed Soudan, foreign relations secretary for the Brotherhood-affiliated Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said the army action and the arrests were moving Egypt "back to the dictatorship regime". Global press alarm Coup or no coup? World reaction Profile: Adly Mahmud Mansour Thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been camped outside Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, vowing to stage a "Day of Rejection". "We came from all of Egypt for one goal only, to return the democratically elected president to the palace," said one man. The BBC's Rana Jawad in Cairo says some have been calling for the execution of Gen Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, the army chief who announced the ousting of Mr Morsi. Tanks and military personnel have been deployed to potential flashpoints in the capital and the mood is tense, says our correspondent. On Friday, troops were deployed in Mr Morsi's hometown of Zagazig, in Shariqiya province, after rival protesters clashed. The health ministry said 80 people had been injured. Some 50 people have died since the latest unrest began on Sunday. Mohamed ElBaradei - a leading opposition figure who backed the overthrow of Mr Morsi - said the army's intervention had been "painful" but was on behalf of the people and ultimately averted civil war. "Mr Morsi unfortunately undermined his own legitimacy," he told the BBC. He said elections would be held within a year at the most as the army had no intention of ruling. He had urged the military to treat Mr Morsi with "full dignity as a former president", he said, and hoped detained Muslim Brotherhood members would be released. Optimism for Egypt economy Key players in Egyptian crisis Laser pens light up protests Twitter translates Egypt tweets Mr Mansour was sworn in as interim head of state on Thursday, vowing to safeguard "the spirit of the revolution" which had removed Hosni Mubarak from power in 2011. He has invited the Brotherhood "to participate in building the nation". The army's roadmap for the post-Morsi era includes: Early on Friday, one soldier was reported killed after Islamist militants attacked military and police checkpoints in the Sinai Peninsula with rockets and mortar fire. Security checkpoints at al-Arish airport, near the border with Israel and the Gaza Strip, and a police station in Rafah were targeted, officials said. Sinai has seen a series of militant attacks on security installations and oil pipelines over the past two years, and it is unclear whether the latest attacks are linked to the political upheaval. Bowen: Egypt's failed democratic experiment Gardner: Dangerous moment for the Middle East Optimism for Egypt economy Key players in the Egyptian crisis The London club retained their title with a 28-17 win over the French side at Murrayfield last month. Last year's finalists are joined in Pool 2 by Northampton Saints and Welsh outfit Ospreys. The San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain will host the final, the first time it has been held outside the Six Nations. In the Challenge Cup draw, beaten finalists Gloucester will be in Pool 3 next season with Pau, Zebre and Agen. The business lobby group now expects 2.4% growth this year and 2.5% next year, down from February's forecast of 2.7% and 2.6% respectively. It blamed weaker-than-expected growth in the first quarter for the downgrade. The 0.3% expansion marked the UK's weakest growth since the end of 2012. The CBI described this as a "temporary blip" and said it now believed the UK economy was on a "firm footing". But it said a "still sluggish eurozone", renewed uncertainty over Greece's economic future, and the in/out referendum on the UK's EU membership - which Prime Minister David Cameron has said will take place by the end of 2017 - were all potential threats to the UK's recovery. "Risks to UK growth are tilted to the downside. A messy resolution of the Greek crisis could spark financial market and exchange rate volatility which could spill over into the real economy," the CBI said in its forecast. It also warned that uncertainty over the EU referendum's outcome meant investment spending could be delayed. The CBI said continued weak productivity - which, as measured by output per hour worked, has been exceptionally weak since 2008 - also posed a threat to the UK economy. "While we are seeing a strong domestic picture, cracking the productivity conundrum would really help cement the recovery," said CBI director of economics Rain Newton-Smith. The CBI forecast came as accountancy firm and services group BDO said UK manufacturing firms' confidence had seen its sharpest drop in two years. It said its monthly manufacturing optimism index, based on the UK's main business surveys, had seen a four-point drop - its biggest since March 2013. BDO said a combination of the strong pound and a weak eurozone economy had hit exports, while low oil and gas prices had curbed investment in the sector and slowed orders for manufacturing firms. Right Reverend Nigel Stock will become Bishop at Lambeth in October. He will work with Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on renewing religious life, reconciliation within Anglicanism and boosting membership. "As Bishop of Lambeth, I will be the main point of contact for bishops of the Church of England," he said. "I will also be engaged with ecumenical and interfaith work. "The archbishop is aiming to work with a smaller staff at Lambeth, but is looking to make it a responsive, courteous and hospitable place from which to conduct his ministry. "He is working on three priorities for his ministry: a renewal of prayer and the religious life within the country; reconciliation within the Church and the nation; and evangelism." 15 March 2017 Last updated at 09:12 GMT The storm caused many schools to close.

The Western African country was hailed as a model of stability. But an armed rebellion in 2002 split the nation in two. Since then, peace deals have alternated with renewed violence as the country has slowly edged its way towards a political resolution of the conflict. Despite the instability, Ivory Coast is the world's largest exporter of cocoa beans and its citizens enjoy a relatively high level of income, compared to other countries in the region.

In 2015, Mr Ouattara won a second five-year term with nearly 84% of the vote, in an election described as credible by US observers. A US-educated economist from the Muslim north, Mr Ouattara served as President Felix Houphouet-Boigny's last prime minister after a long career at the International Monetary Fund. The media were used as propaganda tools during the five-month military standoff between rival claimants to the presidency in early 2011. State broadcaster RTI agitated against election winner Alassane Ouattara. The Ouattara camp set up a rival broadcasting operation. Pro-Ouattara forces ransacked and occupied for five months media outlets loyal to former president Laurent Gbagbo, including Notre Voie newspaper. Some key dates in the history of Ivory Coast: 1842 - France imposes protectorate over coastal zone and later colonizes Ivory Coast. 1944 - Felix Houphouet-Boigny, later to become Ivory Coast's first president, founds a union of African farmers, which develops into the inter-territorial African Democratic Rally and its Ivorian section, the Ivory Coast Democratic Party. 1958 - Ivory Coast becomes a republic within the French Community. 1960 - France grants independence under President Felix Houphouet-Boigny. He holds power until he dies in 1993. 1999 - President Henri Konan Bedie, in power since 1993, is overthrown in a military coup. 2000 - Laurent Gbagbo becomes president after a controversial election. 2002-2007 - Civil war effectively splits country into Muslim rebel-held north and government-controlled Christian south after renegade soldiers try to oust Mr Gbagbo. 2007 - Gbagbo and rebel chief Guillaume Soro of the New Forces sign an agreement to end the crisis. 2010 - Long-delayed presidential elections. Election commission declares Alassane Ouattara the winner of the run-off. Mr Gbagbo refuses to quit. Post-election violence leaves 3,000 people dead and 500,000 displaced. 2016 March - Islamist militants attack the beach resort of Grand Bassam, near Abidjan, killing 18 people.

Lost and homeless, in a city he doesn't know, you'd forgive him for cursing his luck from time to time. But Paddington is the politest of bears and would surely never say anything bad, right? However, the family adventure about a talking bear has been awarded a PG certificate instead of a U. Here's why: Okay, this is putting it a bit strongly, but the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has said that there is some "mild innuendo" in the film. Enough to warrant an appearance on Scott Mills's Innuendo Bingo? Probably not. But there's one sequence highlighted by the BBFC where "a man disguised as a woman is flirted with by another man." Let's be honest unless you're a Paddington superfan, have children or have a teddy bear obsession, you're probably not going to go and see this film. It's primarily been made for kids - and it follows that kids copy things they see on the big screen. So what are the BBFC trying to stop these impressionable young viewers from doing? Well, there's one scene where "Paddington (is) hiding from a villain inside a refrigerator." But turning Paddington from a chilly bear in to a polar bear isn't the board's only concern. Our loveable hero is also seen "riding on a skateboard while holding onto a bus, as well as a brief scene of a boy strapping fireworks to his shoes." Who would possibly want to hurt a cute, cuddly bear like Paddington? Nicole Kidman, that's who. The Australian actress plays the film's villain and she's out to "kill and stuff" Paddington. And (spoiler alert), she comes close too. Viewers will see our pawed protagonist spread unconscious on a table, while an evil taxidermist prepares tools nearby. But it's not just in London that Paddington needs to keep his wits about him. "There is also a short scene in a jungle when Paddington and his family run for shelter during an earthquake with trees falling around them," according to the BBFC. On the whole Paddington is as sweet as the marmalade he devours. His manners are immaculate, barring the odd dining table faux pas, but there is one solitary "mumbled use of 'bloody'" which is enough to cause concern for the BBFC. Contrary to other reports, the BBFC has told Newsbeat that Paddington was always classified as a PG film and has not been upgraded from a "U" certificate. The board defended its decision and said its guidelines are reviewed every four to five years. "The most recent review of the guidelines, in 2013, involved more than 10,000 member of the public from across the UK. "The 2013 review found that 92% of film viewers agreed with the classification of films and videos they had seen recently." Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Health officials in Wales said just one in five of children eligible for the vaccine, which is given as a nasal spray, has had it. According to figures, that means 78% are currently unprotected. The vaccination call comes after Public Health Wales revealed just as many children were admitted to hospital as adults for flu last winter. The free vaccine is available from a GP but all stocks will reach their expiry date by early January 2015. Wales' Chief Medical Officer Dr Ruth Hussey said: "Children in Wales aged two to four years old are entitled to free flu vaccinations and I encourage all parents and guardians to have their children vaccinated as soon as possible. "Flu is an unpleasant illness at any age and can cause fever, chills, aching muscles, headaches and tiredness amongst other symptoms and, for some, result in hospitalisation. "The flu virus spreads easily among children as they are less aware of good hand hygiene or using tissues," she added. The girl received a serious head injury after being shot at a house on Furness Drive in Halifax at around 12:40 BST on Saturday. She was taken to Leeds General Infirmary by air ambulance and is described as being in a serious condition following surgery. Police said an investigation into how the girl was injured was ongoing. Read more about this story and others from across West Yorkshire Det Insp Gary Stephenson, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "Our investigations suggest she was not intentionally injured and an 18-year-old male is assisting us with our enquiries. "Specially trained officers are working to support her family as our investigations continue." Starc suffered a stress fracture during the third Test against New Zealand. Wearing a protective boot, he told reporters: "I'll be in this boot for three or four weeks." The West Indies series begins on 9 December in Hobart, and Starc could also miss the return series against the Black Caps in New Zealand in February. "There's no point putting a time stamp on it yet until the bone heals," he said. Starc was the joint-leading wicket-taker in the series against the Kiwis - won 2-0 by Australia - with 13. But his injury further depletes their pace bowling resources following the retirement of fellow left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson midway through the New Zealand series. The move would help "stability" in Afghanistan, the government said in a statement, while vowing to "respond to fear and terror with full force". The US said on Thursday it would maintain 5,500 troops in Afghanistan into early 2017 - a shift from earlier plans to withdraw most by late 2016. The Taliban has vowed to continue attacks on US troops to force them out. There are currently 9,800 US troops stationed in Afghanistan, providing training and conducting counter-terrorism operations. The US originally planned to withdraw all but a small embassy-based force of 1,000 troops by the end of 2016. However, US President Barack Obama announced on Thursday that he would maintain current troop numbers for most of 2016, with 5,500 still in Afghanistan when he left office in 2017. Read more on Afghanistan: He described the policy shift as "the right thing to do", adding that the ending of Nato combat operations in December last year had come at a price, with many Afghan troops and civilians killed since the Taliban stepped up its insurgency. The Afghan government said the move showed the "renewal of the partnership" between the two countries, and vowed to step up its anti-terror efforts. It added that it remained open to the prospect of peace talks with the Taliban. Meanwhile, Afghan politician Shukria Barakzai told the BBC's Newsday that "more troops, more aid, more co-operation... can be the only way that we can survive [in] Afghanistan." The Taliban said it a statement that the US extension would not stop the militant group's "speedy progress", and said attacks on US troops would increase, forcing the US to reverse its "cruel strategy". Last week, the top US military commander in Afghanistan, Gen John Campbell, described the security situation as "tenuous" and said an enhanced military presence would be necessary if the Taliban were to be repelled. He was speaking days after the Taliban briefly seized the northern city of Kunduz - their most significant military gain since being ousted from power in 2001. After the Taliban's surprise attack on Kunduz, Afghan government forces managed to retake control of key areas of the city with the aid of Nato special forces and US air strikes. But the city's brief capture was seen as a setback for the Afghan authorities, under pressure to show they can keep the country secure without the backing of international forces. The south-eastern city of Ghazni has also seen fierce clashes between Taliban insurgents and US-trained Afghan troops in recent days. Media playback is not supported on this device The Scottish full-back was dismissed in the 22nd minute for a late shoulder charge on Wales fly-half Dan Biggar, with the hosts leading 10-3 at that point. Referee Jerome Garces initially showed Hogg a yellow card, but changed it to a straight red after watching a replay on the stadium big screen. Wales exploited the extra man with tries by George North (2), Jamie Roberts (2), Taulupe Faletau, Liam Williams and Rhodri Williams. Greig Laidlaw's fourth minute penalty briefly gave Scotland the lead, while Biggar kicked two penalties and four conversions, with James Hook adding a fifth. It completed a disastrous Six Nations for the Scots, whose previous heaviest defeat in the tournament was their 38-3 defeat by France in 2003, with a narrow win in Rome their only reward for a disappointing campaign. And new coach Vern Cotter, who will take over before their tour to North America in the summer, will be under no illusion about the size of the task he faces. Wales' victory margin of 48 points exceeded their previous record winning margin, which came in the 47-8 win against Italy in 2008, by 11 points. It also doubled their previous best over the Scots, in the 46-22 win during their 2005 Grand Slam season. But there will be no Grand Slam or third consecutive title for the Welsh this season, and the fact they played against 14 men for an hour will cast some doubt over the significance of this performance, coming after their poor display in the 29-18 loss against England. It was, however, a fitting tribute to Wales loose-head Gethin Jenkins, who became his country's most-capped player on his 105th appearance. Scotland were trailing 10-3 when Hogg - chasing his own high kick - caught Biggar on the jaw with a shoulder charge. Referee Garces quickly handed the British and Irish Lion a yellow card, but called the player back on to the pitch and showed him a straight red after watching replays of the incident on the stadium screens. (provided by Opta) Hogg did not complain as he became the third Scotsman to be sent off in internationals - following in the footsteps of Scott Murray and Nathan Hines - and the Scottish challenge ended with his departure. Until that point Scotland had been competitive, although the Welsh pack had shown ominous signs of recapturing the power game which made them Six Nations champions in 2012 and 2013, particularly in the build-up to Liam Williams' opening try. After Hogg's dismissal, Wales changed their emphasis - attacking out wide to exploit the extra man and the power of their three-quarter line and full-back Williams, making an impressive appearance in the absence of the injured Leigh Halfpenny. Tries by North, after a superb break by Williams, and Roberts before half-time underlined the size of Scotland's task. And when Faletau touched down for the sixth try in the 53rd minute it was a question of damage limitation, which the battling Scots achieved until substitute scrum-half Rhodri Williams crossed for his team's seventh in the 75th minute. The cheers that greeted James Hook's conversion were an amusing post-script, but the serious lesson was that you cannot take on an international side with only 14 players. And with cameras covering every angle, match officials are increasingly willing to use replays to amend their decisions. For Scotland in Cardiff, there was nowhere to hide.

ScotRail said it had tried to allow for the "novelty factor" of the Edinburgh to Tweedbank route but the level of interest had been "remarkable". It said it was looking at doubling carriage numbers at some times. Passengers posting on social media said they had been "packed like sardines" or unable to board some services at all. The company said it was doing its best to try to tackle that situation. However, it said the demand in recent days - particularly from families "making a day of it" at weekends - had been considerable. A spokeswoman said: "We are continuing to monitor passenger numbers so we can tailor how to make best use of the carriages available to us. "For example, we may have found a way to temporarily double the number of carriages on a Sunday, and aim to do the same on Saturdays during peak times. "We are also planning to add carriages in the short term to one particularly busy service, the 16:24 from Edinburgh - Tweedbank which is key for commuters." She added that the route was going to be very popular with "commuters and leisure travellers alike" and ScotRail remained committed to achieving the best balance so that customers had an "enjoyable experience". The Campaign for Borders Rail said it had repeatedly warned that there would be "much more demand than was being planned for". "We are delighted that the Borders Railway is already proving sceptics wrong, and that is to be celebrated," a spokesman said. "However, we raised the issues of underestimating demand with the Scottish government and its Transport Scotland agency in advance of the opening and even before track laying commenced." He said the "remarkable" demand did not come as any surprise and that his organisation had been assured all trains would have extra carriages in initial weeks but that was "clearly not the case". David Spaven, the author of a book on the railway, said the level of interest in the route had been "highly predictable". "Professional railway managers should not be deploying two-coach trains at the busiest travel times, when four or six-coach trains are needed," he said. "The combination of Transport Scotland's cutback in double track from 16 to 9½ miles and poor management by ScotRail has led to a pretty shoddy experience for too many travellers who are new to rail. "It was critical to get things right in the first few weeks of the railway, but the opportunity to build on all the goodwill towards the new railway has been partly squandered."

Since the acquisition, Welsh ministers have loaned the airport more than £20m and the viability of those loans have now come under scrutiny in relation to state aid. There is clear concern at the department for transport and clear frustration in Cathays Park at the attitude in London, as reflected in the claim from one Welsh government source that UK government civil servants are erecting politically motivated obstacles to the airport. The main argument appears to be about forecasts for future passenger numbers in the light of the expansion by Flybe in June. In a leaked letter written in the beginning of June, a senior DfT official believed the forecast was over overestimated. The subsequent response from the Welsh government said that view was based on out of date information. The forecasts are central because of the way the loans work. The Welsh government lends money to Cardiff airport. Much of that money is used by the airport to promote new routes operated by Flybe. The money that's repaid to the taxpayer will eventually come from higher revenues in the shops, cafes and car parks at the airport as a result of more passengers. So if the passenger forecasts are considered unrealistic then it will have a bearing on the likelihood of the money being repaid. Passenger numbers are on the up this summer at Cardiff airport. Figures for June show they're up 12% on the same period last year and the expectation is for that to be repeated in July and August. Much of it is down to the impact of Flybe. Turning round Cardiff airport was always going to be a slow and difficult process in a tough commercial world, the last thing it needs now is to get into difficulty over state aid issues. To be clear, there is no suggestion of anyone actually referring the airport to the European Commission, which has a policing role in these matters, but no-one will want it hanging in the air, particularly when everyone knows Bristol airport is looking closely at events in the Vale of Glamorgan. There are around a million passengers from south Wales using Bristol every year and it will resist attempts at Cardiff to get these passengers to remain on the Welsh side of the Severn when they consider flights. A good summer for the airport will also be of huge benefit for the First Minister as we edge closer to the assembly election as he looks to justify the biggest acquisition his government has made, and one which is still controversial. 27 January 2016 Last updated at 15:03 GMT The charity's lifeboats were launched 1,058 times and rescued 1,029 people, it said. The Mumbles lifeboat station was the busiest while Porthcawl was the inshore lifeboat station with the highest number of launches. Released on Wednesday, the figures were slightly down on 2014 in which crews helped 1,244 people. Here are some of the rescues carried out last year. Coward, 68, was given three months to live in September after she was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer. "I would prefer it to be over quickly," the actress told Radio Times, when speaking about her illness. "I don't know what they're going to do with the character [Caroline Sterling] but I hope they don't write her out." She added: "I'd like them to find someone else to play her. In fact I know the very person; Michael Cochrane's wife Belinda Carroll would be perfect." Cochrane plays Coward's husband on the long-running Radio 4 programme. Coward has played Caroline for nearly 40 years but said she has "no interest in being remembered". The actress is philosophical about her illness. "I have a lovely array of friends, and a rescue lurcher called Sati, who I adore. I've been very lucky, and it doesn't worry me that my life is coming to an end." On The Archers website, Coward spoke of her feelings about the character she first played in 1979: "I'm very fond of Caroline. She hasn't had an easy life, in spite of her privileged upbringing, and has been much maligned. 'The bicycle of Ambridge' - really! The poor girl was only trying to find the right man; she just happened to search in some pretty peculiar places." The character has spent the last few months living in Italy while Coward has been ill. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents.

It was one of few opportunities created at Balmoor. Rory McAllister could have doubled the hosts' advantage but his shot cleared the crossbar. The 22-year-old has signed a two-year contract to play under England coach Wayne Bennett in Queensland. The back-rower will see out the rest of his current contract with the Wolves before heading to Australia. "I have spoken to Brisbane a few times and thought now was the time as I feel ready to do it," Savelio said. "A lot of English forwards have done well in the NRL, so it was always something I had thought about." Savelio began his Super League career with St Helens, but spent part of last season on loan at Castleford before joining Warrington on a 12-month deal. He was in the Warrington side that beat Bennett's Broncos in the World Club Series in February and has made 17 appearances for the Wolves this season, scoring five tries.

It follows the reopening of the 500m stretch known as the Todmorden Curve, which has been delayed by a year. The route was initially axed in 1972. Passengers no longer have to change at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire on journeys between Burnley and Manchester. Burnley Council said £10m had been invested in the link, which will halve travel times to about 50 minutes between the two stations. The service's reinstallation had been the subject of a long campaign, which was supported by Burnley Council, local organisations and charities. Council leader Mark Townsend said the restored link would benefit the local economy and employment, while making the nearby countryside "even easier to reach for visitors". The redevelopment of the Todmorden Curve and Burnley's historic Weavers' Triangle received £8.8 million from the government's Regional Growth Fund in 2011. Celebrations heralding the restored link will be held at Burnley's Manchester Road and Accrington stations on Monday.

Direct rail services between Manchester and Burnley have been reinstated.

Police say the organisation called Action Against Drugs, whose members include members of PIRA, were responsible. Mr McGuigan Sr, 53, was murdered at his home in east Belfast last week. Det Supt Kevin Geddes said a major line of inquiry was that members of PIRA were involved. "Action Against Drugs as you may be aware made a public statement on 6 August that they would execute anybody who had any involvement or they believed had any involvement in the murder of Jock Davison," he added. "It is my assessment that Action Against Drugs are a group of individuals who are criminals, violent dissident republicans and former members of the Provisional IRA. "They are dangerous, they are involved in violence and extortion of the nationalist and republican communities and they have a criminal agenda. "My assessment is that this is a separate group from the Provisional IRA. A major line of inquiry for this investigation is that members of the Provisional IRA were involved in this murder. "I have no information at this stage to say whether that was sanctioned at a command level or not and I'm not prepared to speculate on that." Mr McGuigan Sr was murdered at his home at Comber Court in the Short Strand area last week. Police believe two men shot him several times in the head and chest at point blank range before running off. Analysis: NI Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney The First Minister, Peter Robinson, warned that there would be very serious political repercussions if there was evidence that the Provisional IRA was involved in Kevin McGuigan's murder. So far, we don't have evidence, we have police saying one definite line of enquiry is that members of the Provisional IRA were involved in this. Politicians, certainly the DUP, will be very interested in what was said today. Peter Robinson said last week he intends meeting the Chief Constable George Hamilton to be given an assessment of the likely involvement of the Provisional IRA and I think the first minister will be keen to have that meeting now. Sinn Féin has previously denied speculation that the Provisional IRA may have been involved in his murder. The DUP said at the time that there would be "repercussions" if that is the case. At a press conference, Mr Geddes appealed for calm and said it was important that there were no other killings. "I am very aware of heightened tension and emotions around this investigation and we completely understand that," he added. "But I would make an appeal for anyone with influence in the community to please accept that influence and let's have some community calm. "We would appeal for absolutely no retaliation in relation to this murder. "It is important that there are no other families left feeling the hurt and the pain of the Kevin McGuigan family and the Jock Davison family." Mr Geddes said several firearms had been recovered in searches and that although the investigation was in its early stages the police were following definite lines of inquiry. "I would appeal for anybody who may have seen people dressed in dark clothing in the Comber Court, Harper Street or Beechfield Street area around about, just before or just after 20:50 BST on 12 August to please get in touch with us," Mr Geddes added. He also appealed for anyone with further information that would help with the murder investigation to contact police.

Police say they believe Provisional IRA members were involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr in east Belfast.

After his hat-trick on the opening day of the season, Jodi Jones almost got himself back on the scoresheet after cutting in from the wing, but James McKeown managed to get a strong hand to the shot to keep it out. Coventry took the lead in bizarre circumstances in the 63rd minute, as Nathan Clarke seemingly rolled the ball back to McKeown to take a free-kick, only for McNulty to take it and run towards goal before rolling into an empty net. There were no questions about the second though, as Jack Grimmer rose highest at a corner to head in the visitors' second after 76 minutes and secure their second win in their opening two league games. The hosts' misery was compounded when midfielder James Berrett picked up a second yellow two minutes from time, resulting in Grimsby second red card of the season.

1 August 2016 Last updated at 14:11 BST The whale can be seen "lunge feeding". It swims through a shoal of fish with its mouth wide open, bursting through the surface of the water. Conservationists believe Humpbacks are returning to former feeding grounds as the global population recovers. His trek caught the public imagination and when he completed his trek, he actually got an invitation to meet Muhammadu Buhari before he was sworn in on Friday. Two years ago, Mr Hashimu was talking with a group of friends about what they would do if Mr Buhari, a former military leader, won the 2015 presidential election. One owned a shop and said he would let people take whatever they wanted, free of charge, but Mr Hashimu did not have much money to give away. "I made a promise that if Gen Buhari should win the election I would trek from Lagos to Abuja - so it started as this joke!" he says. When Mr Buhari was declared the winner on 1 April 2015 - becoming the first opposition candidate to win a presidential election in Nigeria - Mr Hashimu's friends called him, reminding him of his promise. Find out more: That same day Mr Hashimu left his home in Ibadan, where he was working in the construction industry, and travelled to Lagos. The next morning he began his long walk. He decided to walk for 12 hours each day and soon realised the scale of the task he had set himself. But news of his journey quickly spread and he was greeted warmly at each village he entered. "The journey took me 18 days but after I started I only walked three days alone. The other 15 days I walked with people. Most of the young people I met told me that I'm not the only one who loves Buhari and they volunteered to walk me to the next town," he says. The excitement generated by his trek lifted his spirits. "People from all over the world called me. People shared my number on social media so people from the UK and US would be calling me, encouraging me, giving me confidence to walk. Those following me to the next town also gave me encouragement so I was so happy, so happy. "People started coming up to me and telling me about their problems. 'We have insecurity in our community, we don't have enough land to farm.' All different complaints. Some people said they need water and others that they need light. "All I would tell them is to write it down, put it inside an envelope and if I should be given the opportunity to see the president then I will deliver their messages to him," says Mr Hashimu. He arrived in the capital, Abuja, on 20 April. He had taken with him 100,000 naira ($500, £330) to cover his meals and accommodation but had only spent 3,500 naira as people along the way had looked after him. He was met by a crowd of people, including members of President Buhari's support organisation and they arranged a meeting. "When I met the president he smiled, he was so happy with me. "He said, 'Thank God you look at me as a young man. You encourage me as well because when you make a promise you fulfil it. I am so happy with you.' "And then he collected the messages from me," says Mr Hashimu. Buhari's first priority in a word: The meeting with the president was brief and he did not manage to ask everything he wanted. "I'd like to discuss the problems many young people experience because there's no way you can trek all the way from Lagos to Abuja without seeing different things. I met with different kinds of language, different tribes and cultures." Mr Hashimu says his journey made him realise Nigerians have huge expectations of the new president. "People came out and sometimes when I saw the crowds I started crying because I was shocked." He said he had nothing to offer them yet they came out to celebrate with him. "Nigerian people are hungry for change and they have seen change and that's why they came out."

They were scheduled to fight twice in 2013, but Haye pulled out of both. "He has to realise I'm not after him, I'm after what he has - the belts," said Haye, who will fight Mark de Mori in January after a three-year absence. "It says a lot about a new champion that he's saying he won't fight the man who would generate the most amount of interest and money, and would be the biggest possible fight on the planet for him." Fury, 27, beat Klitschko on points in Dusseldorf to secure the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. The following day, he called Haye a "pretender" and "a fraud", insisting "he is getting no opportunities from us". "I remember him saying that he'd never give me a payday," he added. "Well, the shoe is on the other foot now. "If he gets a mandatory shot with any of the governing bodies, I'll vacate the title. Let him go and fight Fred Flintstone or Joe Bloggs and make no money." Haye, a former two-weight world champion, said he would focus on working his way up the rankings, adding: "I've done it before at cruiserweight." "He knows that my style would absolutely murder his style," he said. Fury's first defence is likely to be a rematch against Klitschko. Immediately after Saturday's fight, the Ukrainian said he would trigger a rematch clause, though he could decide, at 39, his best days are behind him. Peter Fury, uncle and trainer of the new champion, told BBC Radio 5 live: "Wladimir has got until the end of January to decide if he wants a rematch. We're looking possibly at Wembley, maybe around the end of May." Another prospective opponent for Fury is American Deontay Wilder, the WBC champion. Victory in that fight would make Fury the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000. Media playback is not supported on this device Haye, who has not fought since beating Dereck Chisora in 2012 and had major shoulder surgery in 2013, lost to Klitschko in 2011. He feels Saturday's defeat represents the end for the Ukrainian, who came into the contest having won 64 of 67 professional fights and had not been beaten since 2004. "Klitschko refused to throw any punches. It was Klitschko I'd never seen before. There's having a bad day, and there's having a bad day," added Haye. "I believe he's completely finished now and Father Time has caught up with him." Haye will fight Australia's De Mori in London on 16 January.

"I am honoured to serve in the role of First Lady, and look forward to working on behalf of the American people over the coming years," Mrs Trump said. Melania Trump's life in Slovenia before 'The Donald' Who is the new first family? The first lady lives in New York with the couple's 10-year-old son, Barron, and has largely remained out of the spotlight since her husband took office. Mrs Trump and her son are expected to move into the White House after Barron finishes the school year. She plans to focus on the problem of cyber-bullying among children, according to her biography on the White House website. Mrs Trump, a native of Slovenia, is the second first lady to be born outside of the United States. Louisa Adams, wife of former President John Quincy Adams, was born in London. A consultant-led obstetric service was moved from Stafford to Royal Stoke University Hospital in January 2016. The projected number of births is too low to operate a full unit, the report said. It added the hospital's midwife-led unit is an "important service". The hospitals trust said it acknowledged findings from the report. Read more news for Stoke and Staffordshire NHS England, which published the review, said it commissioned it at the request of the government. The report concluded it would not be possible to reinstate and safely maintain "a financially viable consultant-led obstetric service". The projected amount of births at a County Hospital consultant-led obstetric unit would be "too low to provide adequate experience for staff to safely maintain their skills" or for trainees to complete studies, it stated. Director of midwifery at the trust Karen Meadowcroft said she acknowledged the report findings. She said: "I'm pleased that the Freestanding Midwife-led Birth Unit at County Hospital is recognised as a valuable and important service which offers mothers-to-be and their families a great birthing experience." It is a 1% rise for the group, which has offices in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport. The firm's share price is up 4% and it now has more than 4 million members. It has created 280 new jobs in south Wales this year. Chief operating officer David Stevens told BBC Radio Wales he was "very happy" with the results. "A lot of the analysts, the experts, in the City were expecting to see our profits going down and some of our competitors have reported lower profits, so to come to the City and say we're up 1%, it's only a tiny bit, it's going to be well received," he said. Mr Stevens said the current climate was "tough" but added: "But that's how people buy their car insurance." Sunday's fixture was called off 64 minutes before the scheduled throw-in because of a waterlogged pitch. Tyrone's hurling match with Donegal was also postponed - it will now be played at Healy Park on Sunday. 19 March. Meanwhile, there is a 17:00 GMT throw-in for the All-Ireland club football final between Slaughtneil and Dr Crokes at Croke Park on 17 March. The NHL Division 3A tie between Tyrone and Donegal, which was to have been the Healy Park curtain-raiser, was switched to Carrickmore but that too fell victim to the weather. Holm, 34, ended her fellow American's unbeaten 12-fight streak with a second-round knockout in Melbourne. "It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact," Rousey, 28, told ESPN. The Expendables 3 star added she was hoping to reclaim her title. "Maybe I can't do it all before my prime, before my body is done, but maybe I can," added Rousey, who is set to appear in a remake of 1980s film Road House. On Sunday, Holm had a day named after her, at a parade in her native Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ministers and the National Farmers' Union (NFU) say culling badgers will curb tuberculosis (TB) in cattle, but protesters say it has little effect. Licences have been granted to allow six weeks of continuous culling in the three counties until 31 January. Rock star and campaigner Brian May said he would fight the culls in court. His Save Me Trust trust confirmed the "lawfulness of the decisions to issue the licences will be challenged by a Judicial Review in the High Court". May, well-known for his anti-cull protesting, said: "We are all hugely disappointed that the government has decided to continue its cull policy, despite Natural England's scientific advisor branding the badger cull 'an epic failure'." He added: "The badger cull has been a disaster...worse still, it's certain that most of the murdered badgers are perfectly healthy, and free of bovine TB. "This awful policy must be put to bed now, in favour of a policy that really will address the TB problem in cattle." Wildlife TV broadcasters Chris Packham and Steve Backshall have also voiced opposition to the cull. Defending the move, farming minister George Eustice, said: "England has the highest incidence of TB in Europe and that is why we [are] taking strong action to deliver our 25-year strategy to eradicate the disease and protect the future of our dairy and beef industries. "This includes strengthening cattle testing and movement controls, vaccinating badgers in the buffer zone around high-risk areas and culling badgers where the disease is rife." The NFU has also welcomed the move but said it was "much slower progress than we wanted to see" and called for culling in more areas. Dorset - Minimum 615, maximum 835 Gloucestershire - Minimum 265, maximum 679 - last year minimum 615, maximum 1,091 (actual culled 274) Somerset - Minimum 55, maximum 524 - last year minimum 316, maximum 785 (actual culled 341) Source: Natural England Analysis of the 2013 pilot culls, commissioned by Defra and by an independent panel of experts, found shooting badgers was not effective. Official figures showed it cost more than £3,300 for each badger that was killed during the cull in 2014. Other plans announced by the government include a consultation on compulsory testing for cattle entering low-risk areas, such as the north and east of England, to reduce the risk of new TB cases. Views will also be sought on controlling TB in non-bovine animals such as pigs, goats and deer. The move to extend the cull to Dorset has been condemned by the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Chief executive, Simon Cripps, said: "We are extremely disappointed because science has shown that culling is unlikely to work and will probably make matters worse. "Scientific tests have shown that diseased and non-diseased badgers will move into areas that badgers have been removed from. So what you get is a stirring of the population and a potential increase in the disease. "The best way to sort this out is bio-security, to manage your farm so that you keep badgers away from the cattle you feed. Some of the worst outbreaks are where bio-security isn't very good, that accounts for up to 60% of the problem." A vaccination program has already started in a "buffer zone" around the cull areas but the government believes this alone is not enough and stronger measures are also needed. Andy Foot, a Dorset beef and arable farmer, said: "It is to be congratulated that we at last got it rolled out to at least another county. "We have to get on top of this devastating disease that is killing so many cattle. "Yes do vaccination but in the correct area, where there is no disease. Vaccination will not work in an already infected animal." Mark Rutte will now head a centre-right coalition with the Christian Democrats (CDA). The minority cabinet will have support of Mr Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV), which will remain outside the government. The government says it plans to ban the full Islamic veil in the Netherlands. It also wants to cut the budget by 18bn euros ($24bn; £15bn) by 2015, imposes curbs on immigration and increase the number of police officers. The Liberals (VVD) and CDA hold 52 seats in the 150-member parliament and will have to rely on the PVV's 24 MPs to get legislation passed. The coalition deal has angered some CDA MPs who do not want to work with Mr Wilders. Earlier this week, he went on trial in Amsterdam on Monday on charges of inciting hatred with his film Fitna (Division). The film juxtaposes the Muslim holy book, the Koran, with the 9/11 attacks in which nearly 3,000 people in the US were killed in 2001. The Netherlands has been run by a caretaker government since February when a coalition led by the CDA's former leader, Jan Peter Balkenende, collapsed after a row over military involvement in Afghanistan. June's general election delivered a surge of support for the Freedom Party, which won the third biggest share of seats in parliament. Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael Pena and Sir Derek Jacobi will also have roles in the latest adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1934 mystery novel. Other cast members include Leslie Odom Jr, the Tony-winning star of Broadway musical Hamilton. Sir Kenneth will both direct and star as Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot. "I'm honoured to have this fantastic group of actors bring these dark materials to life for a new audience," said the film-maker. Production begins in November in London. Previously filmed in 1974 with Albert Finney as Poirot, Murder on the Orient Express sees him investigate the death of a wealthy American on board the titular locomotive. Depp plays the victim Samuel Ratchett, while Dame Judi plays the aristocratic Princess Dragomiroff. Ridley will play Mary Debenham, a working-class governess in love with Odom Jr's Dr Arbuthnot. Other roles will be played by Jekyll and Hyde star Tom Bateman and Lucy Boynton, recently seen in the Irish film Sing Street. Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for her role in the 1974 film, which also featured Sean Connery, John Gielgud and Vanessa Redgrave. The story also inspired a 2010 instalment of ITV's Poirot series, starring David Suchet as Christie's famous detective.

Brandon Marshall, 15, from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk measured just over 6ft 11.5ins (2.12m) a few weeks ago. Guinness World Records said Kevin Bradford, 18, from the US, holds the title for tallest teenager at 7ft 1ins. The shy British basketball player, who is said to be missing a height-capping chromosome, told The Sun he was hoping to become a pro player for a US team. His mother, Lynne Quelch, said Brandon was a normal-sized baby but had particularly long fingers and hands. She said he had been growing three to four inches a year from the age of 12. His family assumed he would be tall as his father is, 6ft 10ins. "The worry now is where he's going to stop," said Mrs Quelch. Three years ago medics estimated he would reach 7ft 2ins by the age of 18. Brandon said "It would be a dream to become a pro player. The only other benefit apart from basketball is reaching stuff for my mum." Although he was used to people staring he can get a bit "irritated", his mother said. Buying clothes, especially his school uniform, is a costly "nightmare," according to Mrs Quelch. The teenager's feet are a size 15 and his inside leg measures 38 inches (97cm) School trousers cost £45, while a single pair of shoes comes to £140. Food bills are sizeable too. "He's constantly got his head in the fridge," said his mother. Brandon has been advised to take in 8,000 to 10,000 calories a day. The usual recommended intake for an adult male is 2,500. The tallest man in the world is Sultan Kosen, 34, of Turkey, who is 8ft 3ins (2.51m). More than 40 people were hurt in the blast at the Eid Gah clothes market in the town of Parachinar. TV images showed people fleeing over ground covered in clothes and debris. No group has said it carried out the attack but a sectarian motive is suspected, as most people in Parachinar are from Pakistan's Shia minority. Kurram has a history of sectarian violence between Shia and Sunni Muslims, and agreements to calm tensions between the communities have not been implemented. Several Taliban-affiliated groups are known to be active in the region. Violence in the country overall has fallen since the Pakistani army embarked on an offensive against the Taliban and other militants in the North Waziristan agency, bordering Kurram. The body of Chinese student Mingzi Yang, 29, was found at her terraced house in Sincil Bank, Lincoln, in June. Wai Hong Tsang, 33, from Scartho, near Grimsby, is to be sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday. Tsang, who the court heard was involved in a custody dispute with Ms Yang, was described as a "cold and calculating man". Ms Yang moved to the UK in 2008 and had been studying English at Lincoln College. The jury was told she died as a result of head injuries after being struck repeatedly and with force to the back, top and both sides of her head. Tsang had initially given a statement as a witness rather than as a suspect and had lied about his movements, the court heard. On the day of the murder, he claimed he left his home in Grimsby at about 06:00 BST and drove to Sherwood Forest where he went mountain biking. But police were able to prove he had travelled via Lincoln, stopping off for over two hours in a secluded lay-by on the edge of the city - giving him enough time to cycle to Ms Yang's home, kill her and cycle back to his car. Tsang was then arrested but denied he killed his former wife and denied he wanted her dead. Det Ch Insp Martin Holvey, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: "This was an extremely well planned murder. Tsang is a cold, calculated man who has never owned up to his crime. "He has left a young boy with no mother and a distraught family in China with no daughter." Just 91.8% of patients were seen in four hours between January and March - below the 95% target. That is the worst three-month performance since the target was introduced at the end of 2004. The figures were widely expected as the weekly performance has been below 95% since September. It also means the target has been missed overall for the whole of 2014-15 with 93.6% of patients seen in four hours. The four hours covers the point from a patient arriving at A&E to when they are either discharged, transferred to another part of the NHS or admitted into hospital for further treatment. It was introduced at the end of 2004 in England when the NHS was told it had to see 98% of patients in four hours. That was relaxed to 95% in 2010 on the advice of doctors - they argued the pressure to hit the target was distorting decision-making. The rest of the UK also expects hospitals to see 95% of patients in four hours - although in Scotland it is an interim target with the aim of getting 98% of patients seen in that timeframe. It is the third time the target - it is officially measured on a quarterly basis - has been missed under the coalition. Other parts of the UK have also been missing the target during winter. Figures released in Scotland showed that in the 12 months up to the end of February 92% of patients were seen in four hours. Monthly waiting times have been even worse in Northern Ireland and Wales, although the latest yearly figures are not yet available. This issue includes NHS funding, GP access and social care, particularly of older people. Policy guide: Where the parties stand There were nearly 5.4m visits to A&E during January to March - down slightly on the same period the year before. Long waits were also seen in other parts of the hospital system. A fifth of those who arrived at A&E - 1m - were admitted to hospital for further treatment. Over 113,000 of those admissions waited over four hours for a bed - known as a trolley wait. That is double the number from the January to March quarter in 2014. Police found the victims after investigating reports of squatters. The room was too low to stand up in, one victim was chained to a boiler, and the only food in the room was a container of orange juice, police said. One suspect, Linda Ann Weston, previously served eight years in prison for starving a man to death in 1981. Police officially charged Weston, 51, Gregory Thomas, 47, and Eddie Wright, 50 with multiple charges, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping and aggravated assault. Authorities are looking into additional federal charges, a spokesman told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We're going to find every crime possible in the crime code to put on these individuals," said Lt Raymond Evers. The adults found in the basement have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, police said. They ranged in age from 29 to 41. Once found, they were taken to hospital and listed as being in a stable condition. Turgut Gozleveli, the owner of the Philadelphia building, told the Philadelphia Inquirer he checked out the basement after neighbours complained of suspicious people. When he failed to find anyone in the basement, he followed the sound of a barking dog to a room under the basement, where a chain was wrapped around a door handle. Inside he saw two small dogs and blankets, and then people's faces. "It was terrible," he said. "Something I never expected to see in my life." He then called police, who found the adults in the 15ft by 15ft (4.5m) room, surrounded by buckets of their own excrement. According to police interviews with the captives, they had been brought to Philadelphia about 10 days before they were found, having been in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Texas. Linda Ann Weston and Eddie Wright recently lived for about two months at a home in West Palm Beach, stripping it of wire and plumbing and smearing faeces on the walls, according to a report by the Palm Beach Post. Previously she served eight years in prison for starving to death 25-year-old Bernardo Ramos. Ramos had refused to support her sister's unborn child. She held him in the closet of their Philadelphia apartment in 1981 for two months, feeding him only three times, according to reports. Sally Hunt, head of the University and College Union (UCU), said in a speech "every penny" should be donated. Last week, union members took action over a 1.1% pay rise offered by universities, calling it "an insult". The Universities and Colleges Employers' Association (UCEA) said students faced no major disruption. Speaking at the UCU annual conference in Liverpool, Ms Hunt said: "Vice-chancellors and principals are so busy defending their own exorbitant pay that they have forgotten that universities and colleges are nothing without students and staff. "Not so long ago, most institutions would give money docked from striking staff to their student hardship funds - these days it is far less likely. "Therefore, today I am calling on all vice-chancellors and principals to do the right thing and commit every penny they took from our members for striking last week to their student hardship funds." The UCU says the two-day strike over a 1.1% pay rise for academic staff comes as vice-chancellors enjoy high salaries. But UCEA said the offer to staff was generous when compared with that of public sector workers, such as those working in local government and the prison service, who received a rise of 1%. A spokesman said: "Higher education institutions are reporting either no or low disruption on either of UCU's two strike days on 25 and 26 May. "It is therefore not surprising that the number of UCU members actually declaring themselves to have been on strike appears to be very low, with the early reports averaging at less than 45 per institution. "It is up to each institution to decide what they will do with pay withheld from those who did strike, though we know many have policies for making a donation to their student hardship fund or, for example, to support onsite nursery provision." According to Ms Hunt, students supported the industrial action and she will thank them in her speech for their support. She said "that this fight is their fight - and that we will support them when they defend education". She also said the National Union of Students and UCU are planning a national demonstration in the autumn, aimed at defending education. The 35-year-old is Wales' record cap holder with 121 but has been on the bench for Wales' first two Six Nations games, with Rob Evans preferred. Cardiff Blues loose-head Jenkins admits the 2019 World Cup will be "too far" for him but is determined to regain his place in the Welsh front row. "I'm still as hungry as ever to put that Welsh jersey on," he said. "Even though I'm on the bench, I still think I've got something to offer. "It all depends on your regional form. I'd like to think if I'm still playing well week in, week out then I would have a chance of being involved. "I can't see me retiring because I'm still eligible to play for Wales." Wales head coach Warren Gatland sprang a major surprise when he selected Evans, 23, ahead of Jenkins for their Six Nations opener in Ireland. Scarlet Evans kept his place for last Saturday's win against Scotland, with Jenkins appearing from the bench in both matches. As a veteran of three British and Irish Lions tours, Jenkins is not used to being on the Welsh bench but has been impressed by Evans. "It's different for me but Rob's gone really well and I've enjoyed supporting him and trying to make an impact off the bench," Jenkins added. "I think he's been outstanding in the first two games. He's still young at international level but learning every week. "He's a strong scrummager and carries very well around the field. He's only going to get better. "That's good for Wales that they've got someone coming through now who will hopefully be there for the next 10 years. "It's quite hard watching, different nerves as to starting, when you know what to expect." After selecting Evans for the Ireland match, Gatland said Jenkins would not play at the 2019 World Cup. However, the New Zealander said he still expected Jenkins to play a big part in this season's Six Nations. "That's probably going to be too far for me, the World Cup," said Jenkins. "That hasn't really entered my thinking. "When the time comes, I'll do that [retire] but at the moment I'm just concentrating on playing week in, week out for the region and playing well." Four youths wearing Scream-type masks attacked the 22-year-old as she walked along Sunningdale Road in Denton, Greater Manchester on Friday night. After being dragged to the ground and sexually assaulted, the woman fought off the gang and raised the alarm. Police said one youth was chubby and in his early teens while another was tall and wore white trainers. The attackers were wearing dark clothing. Supt Neil Evans of Greater Manchester Police said the victim had suffered a "traumatic ordeal". "Anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault will know just how frightening it must have been for this victim," he said. "Given the offenders were wearing masks designed to be scary means it must have been a truly harrowing and scary few minutes for this woman. "She was pushed to the floor and sexually assaulted, leaving her in a state of total shock, and clearly she is extremely distressed." The device is designed to help users in noisy environments, and can switch between audio and visual cues. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists and clinicians has been awarded almost £500,000 to develop the technology. They said it had the potential to "significantly improve" the lives of millions of people with hearing loss. More than 10m people in the UK suffer from some form of hearing loss, with the number estimated to rise to 14.5m by 2031. The team led by Prof Amir Hussain has been working on a prototype "next generation" hearing aid, and the funding from the UK government's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will allow dedicated work to take place over the next three years. Prof Hussain said: "This exciting world-first project has the potential to significantly improve the lives of millions of people who have hearing difficulties. "Existing commercial hearing aids are capable of working on an audio-only basis, but the next-generation audio-visual model we want to develop will intelligently track the target speaker's face for visual cues, like lip reading. These will further enhance the audio sounds that are picked up and amplified by conventional hearing aids. "The 360-degree approach to our software design is expected to open up more everyday environments to device users, enabling them to confidently communicate in noisier settings with a reduced listening effort." The hearing aid's camera could be mounted inside a pair of glasses, a necklace or even an earring. Prof Hussain and his team will collaborate with colleagues in the university's psychology department, a team at the University of Sheffield, international hearing aid manufacturer Phonak, and the Institute of Hearing Research. The institute's Dr William Whitmer said: "We are excited about the potential ability for this new technology, which takes advantage of the similar information presented to the eyes and ears in noisy conversation, to aid listening in those difficult situations, a consistent issue for those affected by hearing loss." West Heslerton, near Malton, has gone on the market for a guide price of £20m after being owned by the same family for more than 150 years. The village has a 21-bedroom mansion, pub, petrol station, playing fields, 43 homes and 2,116 acres of land. Pub landlady Claire Marshall said: "We've had calls from all the press in the UK, America, Australia, all over. "It's an end of an era for us, but hopefully we can find a decent landlord that will keep things the same, in the traditional manner that the estate has been run. "We've been looked after well by the family." Eve Dawnay owned the estate until her death five years ago, but the Dawnay family have now decided to sell up. John Myers, who has been a West Heslerton resident all of his life, said: "I've lived in the same house here for 78 years. "There's nothing you can do about it, as long as the owner who buys it are alright with me, I will be alright with them." Figures from the Land Registry show other terrace houses and semi-detached properties have sold in the West Heslerton postcode for between £95,000 and £116,500, with the nine-bedroom Old Rectory last sold in 2011 for £700,000. £700,000 Price of 9-bedroom Old Rectory when it was bought in 2011 £116,500 Terrace property in West Heslerton in 2013 £110,000 Semi-detached house in the village in 2014 £95,000 Price of a High Street terrace house in 2014 £111,000 Another High Street terrace house sold in 2012 The Office for National Statistics puts the current average house price in Yorkshire and The Humber at £181,000, a rise of 3.9% in the past year. The estate agents involved in the sale expect it to be on the market for between four and 12 weeks. Tom Watson, of Cundalls, said: "The rents have always been a reasonably low level. "Because rents are reasonable, that helps the village to have a good community of all ages." It is estimated the annual income for the estate is £388,000. Frank Bruce, who was born in the village, said: "It's beautiful. There are some things money can't buy, the views, the people, it's great. Not much has changed at all. "As long as things continue more or less as it is, but who knows what will happen." 31 August 2016 Last updated at 06:03 BST Burying bodies safely was an important part of halting the spread of the virus which is passed on by direct contact with bodily fluids – and a dead body is even more contagious. Two of more than 500 ordinary Sierra Leoneans who volunteered to bury Ebola victims, describe how their lives have been changed by the epidemic. The case, which has been dubbed the "war on terrier", will be heard on 18 April in Queensland. The actress is facing two counts of knowingly importing a prohibited product in breach of the Quarantine Act. A court official told AFP that Heard is required to appear at the hearing. Heard came under fire for failing to declare Pistol and Boo, the couple's Yorkshire terriers, to authorities on their arrival in Brisbane in April. Under strict Australian laws designed to keep disease at bay, dogs entering from the US must be declared and have to spend 10 days in quarantine. The case sparked global attention after the terriers were threatened with death by Australia's Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce, unless they went "back to the United States". Mr Joyce said he did not care if Depp had been voted the "sexiest man alive", he still had to adhere to quarantine rules. The animals, which had allegedly travelled by private jet to Queensland, where Depp was filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, were quickly whisked out of the country as the story hit the headlines. In July she was charged with two counts of illegally importing the dogs into Australia and one count of producing a false document. Penalties range from a hefty fine to more than 10 years in prison. An earlier hearing set for September was adjourned. After the incident in May, Heard vowed never to return to Australia, although reports earlier this month said she "respected Australia's laws" and was looking forward to "attending the hearing of these matters". Twelve witnesses are listed to give evidence but it is not known whether Depp is one of them.

It is GB's third gold medal in three days in Switzerland, after successes for Lauren Williams and Jade Jones. "I'm honoured to win here for a second time," said Walkden, who now holds world and European titles. "Hopefully I can become Olympic champion." Walkden handed a couple of points to Kus in warnings, but was consistently more aggressive than her opponent and finished strongly with decisive punches in the third round. Cpl Joshua Hoole, 26, of Ecclefechan, near Lockerbie, died during pre-course training for the Platoon Sergeants' Battle Course. Ambulances were called to Dering Lines infantry training centre in Brecon shortly before 09:00 BST on Tuesday. The MoD said he collapsed after arriving back at the barracks. Cpl Hoole was serving in the Rifles regiment at ITC Catterick. The cause of his death is not yet known and police are investigating. An MoD spokesman said: "It was a two-week course and they were on day two. "They all did the annual fitness test which is an eight-mile route carrying 25kg in two hours. No-one can do the route in less than one hour [and] 50 minutes. "The annual fitness test is the first thing you do. This test gets done all across the infantry and is not supposed to be taxing." The spokesman said the officer in charge would have checked the weather conditions and the temperature as part of his duties, on what was the hottest day of the year so far in Wales. "It was 17 degrees when they started and 21 or 22 degrees when they finished," the spokesman said. He said the Army had looked at how training was carried out following previous deaths - including the three soldiers who died during a SAS selection exercise in 2013. "Where practicable, every recommendation and report has been implemented in order to ensure soldiers training is made as safe as possible," he added. Tributes have been paid to Cpl Hoole, who was due to get married and be the best man at his brother's wedding. His grandfather, John Craig described him as a "beautiful grandson" and a "super fit boy." He said: "He was a dedicated soldier," adding he "always wanted to be top dog". His aunt, Morag Craig, told BBC Wales that the family will demand to know why he died. "We are going to ask that question," she said. She described Cpl Hoole as "absolutely fantastic" and "always there for any of us in the family". "There was nothing he wouldn't do for you - he had a heart of gold." "I think we are hoping that we'll wake up and someone has been playing a joke," she said, "but now it's starting to hit home." His step mother Carol Jeffreys posted on her Facebook page: "Rest easy soldier. My beautiful stepson. Can't believe it. Will always love you. "So very proud of you. Thoughts with your family and fiancee." Friend Kyle Blackburn said: "We are all going to miss you, there was never a dull moment when you were around. "Always had something to say to me even though it was cheek. Sleep tight, always be proud to call you my mate." Dyfed-Powys Police said it was working closely with the MoD and Cpl Hoole's next of kin had been informed. An ambulance service spokesman said it was called to the infantry training centre at Dering Lines "to reports of a medical emergency". The Wales Air Ambulance also attended. The Health and Safety Executive said it had been informed of the death. A spokesman added: "Dyfed-Powys Police are leading the initial enquiries into the soldier's death and HSE will not speculate at this stage on the exact circumstances of this fatal incident." Defence Minister Harriett Baldwin told the House of Commons defence committee she wanted to express her sorrow at the "very sad death" and to "make the commitment that the Ministry of Defence will, of course, be undertaking a full investigation". Cpl Hoole's death comes three years after three soldiers died during an SAS training exercise in the Brecon Beacons on 13 July 2013, one of the hottest days of the year. L/Cpls Edward Maher and Craig Roberts died on the beacons after suffering heatstroke during a 16-mile (26km) SAS test march on 13 July 2013. Cpl James Dunsby died from multiple organ failure in Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital more than two weeks later. A coroner ruled neglect played a part in their deaths. L/Cpl Dunsby's widow, Bryher Dunsby, offered her condolences to Cpl Hoole's family. She said: "I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences and my love to Joshua's fiancée, family and friends following another tragic death in training at Brecon. "I sincerely hope that all the inquiries into this incident are conducted promptly, with truth, integrity and total transparency by the MoD." The Platoon Sergeants' Battle Course is a promotion qualifying course to the rank of Sergeant for Rifle Company Platoon Sergeants, the MoD website says. It is said to be both mentally and physically demanding but students "receive the highest level of tuition and testing to ensure they are fully prepared for the rigours of command". Smoke was reported to be coming from the 07:47 GMT London Midland service from Leamington Spa as it passed through Lapworth, Warwickshire. Warwickshire Fire Service said the fire was in the wheels at the front of the five-carriage train. Evacuated passengers were taken to a sports hall at a nearby primary school. The train was heading to Birmingham Moor Street before continuing to Worcester Shrub Hill. Updates on this and other stories on Coventry and Warwickshire The lines have since reopened and delays, which lasted until early afternoon, have cleared. Chiltern Railways and London Midland services are replaced by buses between Dorridge and Leamington Spa, while CrossCountry services are diverted via Coventry. Lionel Deely was on the platform when the train arrived at Lapworth. He said: "I was on the platform watching the train. When it came in there was flames and smoke coming from it. "I shouted to the people on the train and was pointing to the fire. Some bloke must have gone to tell the driver." Commuter Anna Dee tweeted she was thankful to Lapworth School for opening its school hall for passengers to sit in while they waited for coaches to let them continue their journey.

The club are playing their home Champions League games at Wembley while White Hart Lane is being redeveloped. Pochettino said: "There is nowhere better in the world to play football. We were the problem, not Wembley." Spurs have the option to play all home league and cup matches, as well as any European games, at Wembley next season. Pochettino added: "It is embarrassing for me. "After two games at Wembley, Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen, there is no excuse. We were poor and we need to find the answer in ourselves. "We are very disappointed and we cannot show the performance that we have in recent weeks - that is the problem." The Leverkusen defeat followed a 2-1 loss at Wembley against Monaco in their opening Champions League game of the season. Wednesday's match was played in front of 85,512, the highest English club home Champions League crowd, but saw Spurs fall to their sixth successive Wembley loss. Spurs now lie third in Group E behind Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen with two games left to qualify for the knockout stage, away to Monaco and at home to CSKA Moscow. "We must win, if not we can forget the Champions League," Pochettino said. "We need to improve and we don't have too much time to do that." Spurs return to Premier League action on Sunday in the North London derby against Arsenal. The sophisticated scam happened at Rangsit University in Bangkok. The university says three people filmed their test papers using tiny cameras embedded in their glasses. They then transmitted the images to an outside team, who sent the correct answers to the smartwatches of three other students taking the exams. One admitted he was being charged $24,000 (£17,000) to receive the right answers to get into medical school. There is tough competition to get into medical school in Thailand but potentially high rewards, as patients from around the world travel to Thailand for medical treatment. The university's rector, Arthit Ourairat, told the Bangkok Post the students involved had been blacklisted and would not be allowed to apply to study there again. The newspaper said the people filming the exams left partway through so they could transmit the films of the test papers to the outside team. The students involved have not been named and it is not clear whether they are part of a wider network. Mr Ourairat made the scam public in a post on Facebook. It was shared tens of thousands of times. "If they had passed and graduated, we might have had illegal doctors working for us," commented one person. One sign said "Anti-democratic zone and regime" while another appeared to joke about the Nazi Holocaust, reading "Entry forbidden - gas chamber". The Venice prefect ordered "any references to fascism" to be removed. But now the row has spread to parliament, over a bill to tighten up laws against promoting fascism. Under the proposals put forward by the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), propaganda praising the Mussolini or Nazi regimes would become a crime punishable by up to two years in jail. The bill is particularly geared towards material posted on the internet. The populist Five Star movement condemned the bill as killing freedom, while right-wing parties including the Northern League said it criminalised opinion and made no sense. Former Prime Minister and PD leader Matteo Renzi argued that it was fascism that had killed liberty rather than a law criminalising propaganda, while the PD politician behind the bill, Emmanuele Fiano, said Italian law already made clear there were limits to freedom of expression. But Northern League leader Matteo Salvini argued that ideas should not be put on trial. "He wants to send to jail people who sell a lighter with Mussolini's face on it," he complained. Under existing law, Nazi or fascist actions and declarations that incite violence and discrimination can already be punished with a jail term. The Mussolini theme was clear from the entrance to the privately run Punta Canna resort, where the sign read "Rules: Order, cleanliness and discipline." As well as fascist slogans, the beach at Chioggia, a short distance south of Venice, broadcast regular messages over speakers from its manager, Gianni Scarpa, a 64 year-old clad in a black bandana. Before police raided the beach he told La Repubblica newspaper (in Italian) that he was "delighted to have an exemplary clientele", and that he hated filthy people and democracy. The head of Italy's Jewish community, Noemi Di Segni, told the paper that she was concerned that journalists rather than the authorities had brought the case to light. "The images we have seen are an outrage to the memory of victims of the Shoah [Holocaust] and an insult to the democratic institutions of our country," she said. National partisans organisation ANPI called on tourists to boycott the beach and for the manager to lose his licence to run it. McClenaghan, a member of the Rathgael Gymastics club in Bangor, finished behind the Olympic and world medallists in the pommel horse event. "What the heck just happened?" said McClenaghan on Twitter. "I just shared the podium with Louis Smith and Max Whitlock." McClenaghan added:"There's nobody happier than I am now." The 16-year-old's pommel horse score of 15.175 is one of the highest ever produced by a junior. McClenaghan's achievement has been described as an "historical moment" for the Rathgael club. Whitlock pipped his fellow British star Smith to take the gold after earlier clinching the all-round title in Liverpool. Having started the day on 67-2, Steven Mullaney (62) and Samit Patel (82) got Notts off to a good start, extending their third-wicket partnership to 137. Jeevan Mendis (3-93) and Connor McKerr struck to reduce Notts to 239-5 - just 105 ahead - and give Derbyshire hope. But Riki Wessels (46) and Chris Read (46 not out) stretched the lead before bad weather signalled stumps at 313-6. Derbyshire, looking for a first County Championship win since July 2015, were well on top at tea after Mullaney fell to an excellent Tom Taylor catch, McKerr pinned Patel lbw and Mendis had Michael Lumb caught at short-leg. However, Wessels and Read scored swiftly to expel some nerves before poor light and rain brought about an early close, with all three results still possible on the final day at Trent Bridge. Notts all-rounder Samit Patel told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I'm pretty pleased with how it went but it's a bit disappointing not to get to three figures. Hopefully we can put ourselves into a winning position. "If we can get a partnership going now between Ready and Brett Hutton and get the lead above 200 then the nerves will start to twitch. "We set our stall out because we knew it was going to be an important day. We did the majority of things right but then we lost Mull after lunch and I followed with one that kept low." Derbyshire's Daryn Smit told BBC Radio Derby: "All three results are still a possibility, so I guess that's what you'd prefer going into the last day. "It's a nice position to be in. I think we are the happier changing room. "But that counts for nothing unless we pitch up and compete like we have done over the first three days." Seamus Kenny, who lives in Hillsborough but is originally from County Galway, says he is "very, very lucky" to have a new kidney after suffering from a degenerative condition for more than 15 years. His wife Pauline was a willing donor but was not a match so they subscribed to the scheme that attempts to pair donors and recipients across the UK. They got a match within months of enrolling with the scheme, and last June they went through surgery on the same day to complete Seamus's journey back to full health. And, as a gesture of thanks for their treatment and care, the pair have helped raise £100,000 for the renal unit at the City Hospital in Belfast. Seamus was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease in 1997, although the diagnosis came as no great surprise. His father was a sufferer, and two of Seamus's sisters and a brother also have the hereditary condition. The disease causes cysts to form in the kidneys, and Seamus suffered a 4% annual loss in function from the time of his diagnosis. Because of the gradual nature of the decline he only really started to notice the effects a couple of years ago. Pauline, who is originally from County Cavan, says: "Seamus probably didn't feel any different because the decline was 4% a year, but for two years before I saw a significant difference. "His quality of life had got quite difficult, he was tired all the time, he had no appetite, he had no energy and he looked dreadful." A conversation with his doctor in 2011 had already raised the possibility of either a transplant or dialysis, but Pauline's incompatibility as a donor was a disappointment. But when she said she was still willing to be a donor they entered the shared donor scheme. Pauline adds: "It is a very well-structured scheme and lots of families find themselves in the same situation as Seamus and I were in - you want to donate to your loved one but you are not a suitable donor." The scheme runs a computer program four times a year to try and match up couples, and Seamus and Pauline struck lucky on their second run through the system. Seamus says: "On 7 April last year I went for my normal appointment because I was being seen regularly at that stage, every two months or every month depending on how my condition was. "I had got a stay of execution from dialysis the month previously, and when I was told it was good news I assumed it was another stay of execution. But it was that they had found a match for us. "We were stunned, it was like a dream come true." The couple had two months to prepare for their surgeries, and things could not have gone better. Pauline says: "This happens all the time, we're not that unique, lots of families have been through what we've been through. "We went through surgery on the same day. The couple that we were paired with were in a different centre, and in the morning the donors have their kidneys removed and then they are flown at the same time, mine over to Britain and the donor kidney in Britain was flown to Belfast. "Then the recipients, the two patients, go to theatre in the afternoon and the kidneys are transplanted." Pauline was out of hospital within three days, and Seamus was back home after a week. They pledged to give something back to the City Hospital, and Seamus linked up with his company, food processing and agribusiness firm ABP, for a fundraising ball. It raised £60,000 last November, and that was supplemented by a £40,000 donation from the Goodman Foundation. "Pauline and I received extraordinary care in the City Hospital and I am certain this money will benefit many, many others with kidney disease," adds Seamus. The functionality of his kidney is back to about 60-70%, "but all you need is about 25% to function normally", he says. He has been given a clean bill of health at the hospital, and considers himself "very, very lucky".

Emergency services were called to the house in Silverhill Park shortly before midnight on Sunday. The woman's husband, who is in his 70s and was also in the house at the time of the fire, was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries. An investigation into what caused the blaze has started but police are not treating it as suspicious. It is the second fatal house fire in Enniskillen in just under a month. On 3 December, a man was found dead after a fire in the Kilmacormick area of the town. Ulster Unionist Party MP Tom Elliott said the community had been shocked by another death by fire. "I knew the lady and her wider family that died in this tragedy," he said. "It is difficult for the family and wider community when such a tragedy strikes. "My sympathies to them all at this time." Councillor Keith Elliott said: "People were devastated to wake up this morning to hear that another person has gone in this way," he said. Mario Monti made the announcement after meeting Libya's Mustafa Abdul Jalil in Rome. The treaty was originally signed by ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in 2008. Mr Monti also said Italy would continue to unfreeze Libyan holdings. Some 600m euros ($780m; £508m) in assets have already been released. Oil concessions Mr Jalil, who also met President Giorgio Napolitano, pledged to use the unfrozen funds to pay debts to Italian companies. Italian oil giant ENI, partially state-owned, had reached 70% of its pre-conflict output capacity in Libya, Mr Jalil said. Under the 2008 treaty, ENI is to pay 15bn euros to build a super highway crossing the north African desert coastline, linking Libya with its neighbours Tunisia and Egypt. In exchange, the oil firm secured important oil exploration concessions. It is not clear whether Rome's original pledge to pay Libya $5bn in compensation for its 30-year colonial rule will form part of the revived arrangement. The BBC's David Willey, in Rome, says that despite the public assurances of closeness, behind the scenes, there is some competition between Italy and France to secure Libyan oil contracts and other new business for reconstruction. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe paid a surprise lightning visit to Tripoli on Wednesday, pre-empting Mr Jalil's visit to Rome. Our correspondent says that his purpose, in part, was to remind the new Libyan administration that France also expects to be rewarded for its leading role in the Nato military operations which led to the downfall of Col Gaddafi. Italian newspapers report that Mr Monti is due to visit Tripoli next month. Jewel in the Crown Holidays, based in West Sussex, has been trading for 29 years and claimed to be the largest independent tour operator to Turkey. The company, which sent up to 18,000 holidaymakers a year to the country, ceased trading on Friday. It said there were currently no passengers overseas. A statement on the Crawley company's website said the business to Turkey had been challenging for the last two years. "We had hoped that the political situation in Turkey would improve but sadly this has not happened," it said. "The directors of Jewel in the Crown Holidays Ltd would like to apologise to both our UK and overseas staff." It said it had holiday bookings for this summer but they could not be honoured because negotiations with airlines had failed. All 11 staff have been made redundant. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advises the threat from terrorism in Turkey remains high. It says that over 2,500,000 British nationals visit Turkey every year and it is generally safe to travel. But, visitors are advised to take additional safety precautions, be alert to their surroundings and remain vigilant in crowded places popular with tourists. The FCO advises against all travel to within 10 km of the border with Syria and the city of Diyarbakir and against all but essential travel to adjacent areas. Customers or travel agents were advised to submit a claim under the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Atol) scheme managed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or to their credit card providers. The CAA said travel agents who held bookings with Jewel In The Crown Holidays Ltd should not issue refunds but wait for instructions from Atol. Joint liquidator Richard Keley said: "Tourism to the region has been badly hit as a result of the political instability. "This has severely affected the business's cash flow and its ability to continue trading." The Galloway Kite Trail was launched in 2003 in an area north of Castle Douglas. The latest study of its economic value concluded it had contributed more than £8.2m since it opened to the public. It has attracted more than 100,000 visitors and supported the equivalent of about 20 full-time jobs in the region. Calum Murray, RSPB Scotland community liaison officer, said: "The re-introduction of red kites in Dumfries and Galloway has been a massive conservation success story, and we now have over 100 pairs breeding across the region. "But this survey clearly demonstrates how nature can bring economic benefits to communities as well. "Tourists are visiting the Galloway Kite Trail from all over the UK, and many are coming here specifically to see our amazing red kites, as well as the other wildlife this region is rightly renowned for. "It also demonstrates the fantastic support given to the trail by local businesses, and with many visitors making repeat visits, it's a good indication of the high standard of hospitality in the area as well." The Galloway Kite Trail is a self-guided tour circling Loch Ken, taking visitors to some of the best locations to see kites, as well as promoting activities and services provided by local businesses. It was set up following the successful reintroduction of red kites to Galloway after an absence of 130 years. The birds were persecuted to extinction in Scotland in the 19th Century but have since made a comeback. An economic survey carried out annually by the RSPB between 2004 and 2015 found that visitors to the trail have spent an estimated £54.6m in Dumfries and Galloway, with £8.2m directly attributable to people visiting the area to see the kites. The survey also found that almost 70% of respondents had travelled to the area from outside Scotland, with two thirds visiting Dumfries and Galloway for the first time. Doug Wilson, VisitScotland regional director, said: "The Galloway Kite Trail has been a fabulous success story, in many more ways than one. "As an ambitious nature conservation project, it has achieved outstanding results in terms of increasing red kite numbers, educating the public about these spectacular birds of prey, and raising awareness of the RSPB's superb efforts to protect them and their habitat and encourage breeding. "The kite trail has also become an outstanding asset in Dumfries and Galloway's incredible portfolio of outdoors activity attractions, giving visitors another great reason to come to the beautiful Galloway Forest Park and explore the stunning Loch Ken area. "Having attracted well over 100,000 visitors, the trail has delivered significant benefits to tourism within the region and the impact on our local economy has been tremendous." Koepka had three successive birdies from the 14th to match the total set by Rory McIlroy when he won in 2011 on a par-71 layout compared to this par 72. His five-under 67 was only bettered by Japan's Hideki Matsuyama who posted 66 to tie for second on 12 under with overnight leader Brian Harman (72). England's Tommy Fleetwood, shot a level-par 72 to end fourth on 11 under. The 26-year-old from Southport, playing in just his second US Open, was unable to keep pace with playing partner Koepka on the front nine. The pair started Sunday's final round one off the lead but Koepka holed three birdies in his first eight holes, while Fleetwood followed a birdie on the second with three bogeys in his next six holes for a five-shot swing. Fleetwood, ranked 33rd in the world, steadied his round with a birdie on the ninth and returned to 11 under by picking up another shot on the par-five 14th and then parred his final four holes. "I didn't play how I wanted to," he said on Sky Sports. "You never know how you're going to react being up there in the final round - you've got to deal with that and it's all new for me." However, he was quick to praise Koepka who becomes the seventh first-time major winner in succession. "He was brilliant, the shots he hit down the stretch, you can't describe how hard some of them are," Fleetwood continued. "He was phenomenal - I would've like to have played like that. It was windy and he shot five under, fair play." BBC Radio 5 live's Jay Townsend said in commentary that Koepka only seriously got into golf after being involved in a car accident at the age of 10. Townsend added: "As a result, he was banned from playing contact sports and that's how he seriously got into golf. It was kind of by accident." The 27-year-old from Florida who turned professional in 2012, had won twice on the European Tour and just once on the PGA Tour before this win, which earns him $2.1m (£1.6m). Koepka opened his final round in perfect fashion with birdies on his opening two holes. Another followed on the eighth and he battled hard after dropping a shot on the 10th, holing a 10-foot par-putt on the 13th before effectively winning the title with his birdie streak from the 14th. The statistics show that he won with a combination of power and accuracy from tee to green on the 7,845-yard course, the longest in major championship history. The fairways were the widest in US Open history and Koepka took full advantage, averaging 307 yards off the tee and hitting 88% of them across the four rounds, tied fourth overall. "It was bombs away," he said. "You could hit it far and the fairways were generous enough. That was a big plus for me. I'm a big ball striker. On some of these par fives I don't even need to hit driver to get there." Staying on the fairways and out of the punishing thigh-deep fescue rough helped Koepka hit the most greens in regulation, 62 out of 72. Once on the greens Koepka said he "putted brilliantly", although he took 1.71 putts per hole, slightly above the average for the field. On joining the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as a US Open winner, he added: "To be in the same category as some of the guys on this trophy is unbelievable. This is truly special, it really is." For the first time since world rankings were introduced in 1986, the top three, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, all missed the cut at a major. The only men in the world's top 10 to significantly challenge a leaderboard dominated by players chasing their first victory at a major were Matsuyama and American Rickie Fowler and both of them are also yet to win one of golf's big four prizes. World number four Matsuyama started six shots behind Harman and began positively with with three birdies in five holes. However, despite five more on the back nine, two bogeys proved costly. Fowler started two back but the world number nine did not threaten the lead at any point and carded a 72 - including dropped shots at the 12th and 15th - to finish on 10 under par. The 28-year-old ended tied for fifth with fellow Americans Bill Haas and Xander Schauffele and was satisfied with a seventh top-10 finish at a major. "If you look at the negatives too much, you're going to be stuck doing that the whole time," he reasoned. "You have to measure success in different ways, not just by winning, just because that doesn't happen a whole lot. You kind of have to say, 'Hey, it's a major.'" American Jordan Spieth, winner in 2015, closed with a three-under 69 to finish on one over. The 22-year-old, ranked fifth, was pleased with his tee-to-green play but conceded he was "not comfortable" on the greens all week and has "work to do with the putter". Masters champion Sergio Garcia is world number seven and the Spaniard had a solid, if unspectacular, week in Wisconsin. A two-under 70, followed by two 71s and a 72 returned a four under par total. Find out how to get into golf with our special guide. Eddie Pepperell was the only one of the six other Britons to make the cut to finish the day better than he started it. The 26-year-old, playing in his second US Open, carded a one-under 71 to improve to five under. Paul Casey, who was in a four-way tie for the lead at halfway on seven under par, saw his challenge effectively end with a three-over 75 on Saturday. A quiet finish with just the two bogeys saw the 39-year-old end on two under. Scotland's Martin Laird also went backwards, closing with a 73 to finish the tournament as he started, on level par. Matt Fitzpatrick of England was next best on one over after posting a four-over 76 that featured six bogeys, one double bogey and four birdies. Compatriot Andrew Johnston dropped five shots in five holes on his front nine but rallied with a couple of birdies on the back nine as he closed with a three-over 75 and two over total. Lee Westwood finished his 18th US Open with a four-over 76 to end on seven over. The Peatland Code, say its developers, has been designed to link potential private funders with accredited restoration projects. The habitat has been calculated to store three billion tonnes of carbon, more than 20 times the amount locked away in the UK's forests. The code was launched at the World Forum on Natural Capital in Edinburgh. The initiative has been developed by the IUCN UK Peatland Programme, which promotes the restoration of the UK's peatlands, and is overseen by a number of environmental bodies including: Scottish Wildlife Trust, the RSPB, the John Muir Trust and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. "Peatlands are arguably the UK's greatest reserve of natural capital," said Peatland Code Chairman Paul Vaight. Speaking at the code's launch, Mr Vaight said that the majority of the nation's peatland habitat were in a poor state of repair. However, he added that they were relatively cheap and easy to restore. Once the dominant vegetation, sphagnum moss, had returned, the peatland began absorbing carbon once again. "Not only that but a healthy bog acts as an excellent filter for water. This is very important in the UK since about 75% of our water catchment is in peatland areas," he observed. "It also acts as a break on flash floods, delays water run-off and reduces the scale of water in the rivers." Peatlands account for about 10% of the UK's land area and stores about three billion tonnes of carbon, more than 20 times the volume stored by the nation's forests. The code is based on research carried out by teams from Birmingham City and Leeds universities. Prof Mark Reed, who led the research team at Birmingham City University, said: "Whilst providing valued homes for some of our rare and endangered wildlife, our peatlands act as a huge store of carbon, locking up as half as much as half that found in the Amazon rainforest despite being a hundredth of its size." International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) UK Peatland Programme director Clifton Bain said the new code provided an opportunity for business leaders to show that they were serious about protecting the UK's natural capital. The code, its developers say, firstly quantifies the carbon savings made as a result of restoring a peatland. It secondly gives those providing the funds confidence the carbon savings will be made, and deliver wider benefits to the area's wildlife and communities. The World Forum on Natural Capital also saw the launch of a consultation on a framework that would standardise the way business measure its impacts and dependencies on natural capital. The Natural Capital Protocol, developed by the Natural Capital Coalition, plans to create a system that allows the value of natural assets into organisations' decision-making processes. The consultation runs until the end of February 2016, with the first version of the protocol being launched in the summer of 2016. To date, there are an array of systems to measure and place a financial value on natural capital. One such system has been developed by US-based organisation Aecom. "I am an environmental economist and we have these economic notions of capital, such as financial capital and manufactured capital. These are common parlance within business," explained Aecom's Chris White. "Then you have concepts such as sustainability and CSR (corporate social responsibility), which is generally seen as a separate area and is not viewed as a main issue within the boardroom. "The idea of a natural capital approach is to try and bring them together. It is to talk about and view the environment as an asset. The idea is that you have a piece of natural capital like a forest and it provides something that is of value to a business over time," Mr White told BBC News. One company to have worked with Aecom's natural capital valuation system is National Grid. "We have more than 600 legacy sites, which are things like gas holder sites and industrial sites that we have inherited from previous activities," explained Stuart Bailey, National Grid's head of sustainability and climate change. "What we do with these is of interest to us and to our board," he told BBC News. "What we do and what we build has an impact on communities and they have an impact on the environment." He explained that the challenge within National Grid was establishing a way to convert the environmental costs and benefits of these legacy sites into a "monetary value that our finance people and stakeholders understood". Using the system developed by Aecom, Mr Bailey said it was possible to get natural capital onto the company's decision-making process. He used the "negative asset" of an old gas holder site in Burnley, Lancashire, as an example. "There is no commercial value to that piece of land. Gas holder sites in London have brownfield redevelopment value but in Burnley there is not the demand and it is actually a liability for us. "We have problems with that site. We have problems with trespass and we have problems with fly tipping. He explained that a consultation with the local community revealed that residents wanted an open green space that could be used for recreation. "We have worked with the local authority and the forestry commission on a plan for a community woodland. "This particular project is not costing us anything to do. It is a site that goes from a value of near zero to a site (using the tool developed by Aecom) with a value of £300,000. Mr Bailey added: "We also get a few benefits, such as hopefully remove the fly-tipping issue, we get the security sorted and, hopefully, the local community gets some benefits too." GL Assessment, who provide the tests, said it was investigating the "possible breach of security" in Plymouth, Devon. Some pupils sitting the English exam later told their parents they had already seen the paper, it is alleged. GL Assessment said "extensive security measures" were in place to prevent exam papers being leaked. Hundreds of pupils sit the paper every year to try and gain a place at one of the city's three grammar schools. Parent Louise Higgins said: "It's a big shame that we can't now relax because we were looking forward to it being all over and done with. What will happen? Will we have to retake? Will there be a delay in the results? It will have an impact on us going forward." Mum Caroline Tall added: "At first I thought it was just a rumour, but to think it could be true is very concerning to me." A spokesperson for Plymouth City Council confirmed they were working with GL Assessment (GLA) to explore if there were any irregularities with the 11-plus exam. A spokesperson for GLA said: "While the potential for a leak is extremely remote, we take any suggestion of a breach very seriously." Albert Kinloch, 72, placed £100 at 2,500/1 on the Ibrox club being relegated from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) in the 2011/12 season. Rangers were removed from the SPL in 2012 following liquidation and returned to football in the SFL Third Division. A judge has now agreed with Coral that Rangers were not technically relegated. Mr Kinloch, of Simshill Road in Glasgow, placed his bet on 5 September 2011 at Coral's branch in the city's Tollcross Road. His betting slip read: "From SPL - Rangers to be relegated" and he maintained that relegation meant an SPL side starting the next season in a lower league. Coral argued that relegation was confined to going down only one league on points, according to league rules. It said Rangers Football Club Plc sold its one share in the SPL to Sevco Scotland following the sale of assets by administrators. That required the approval of at least eight members of the SPL and the application was refused, making it no longer eligible to play in the top tier. It then applied to join the SFL and was permitted to come into the lowest league - the SFL Third Division. Mr Kinloch took his case to the Court of Session in Edinburgh where it was rejected. Judge Lord Bannatyne said: "The foregoing process cannot be described as being moved by anyone to a lower division, or being moved down or demoted." He added: "I am satisfied that what did not happen was that the SPL moved or demoted Rangers to a lower division." "Rangers ended up in a lower division by the entry into a contract which allowed them to join the SFL in the third division," said the judge. "I am persuaded that the reasonable man is not only directed but driven to the rules of a particular sport when placing a bet in a sporting context. The natural and ordinary meaning of a sporting term is the definition of that term within the rules of that sport," he said. "It would be impossible for a betting business to be run and for it to offer bets on sporting events without reference to the rules of the sports. "I am satisfied that the odds of 2500/1 to a reasonable person placing a bet as well as the reasonable bookmaker would clearly indicate that relegation meant what is contended for by the defenders (Coral) that is, the highly unlikely event." Lord Bannatyne said he was persuaded that the "sound construction" of the bet placed was that advanced by the betting firm. He added: "Accordingly, on this construction of the pursuer's bet it is a losing bet." Mr Kinloch told the court that he had been following media reports over Rangers' financial troubles before placing the wager. He said in a statement: "I thought it was a good 'throwaway bet' and I didn't expect to win, but there was a small possibility that I would win." "Nobody at Coral suggested to me they would only pay out if Rangers went down on sporting prowess or on points, and in fact they didn't try to negotiate with me at all on the bet." Mr Kinloch accepted during an earlier hearing that he knew the SPL and SFL had rules and that he was very good at looking things up on the internet. As one of the four victorious allied powers after World War Two, Britain was governing a large area of occupied Germany. The British sector included the tiny island of Heligoland, which had long been a source of diplomatic tension between the two countries. So, when in 1947 the British needed a safe place to dispose of thousands of tonnes of unexploded ammunition, Heligoland must have seemed an obvious choice. The code-name for the plan combined the British flair for understatement with the military taste for the literal-minded; it was to be called Operation Big Bang. Heligoland had been a German naval fortress, and historian Jan Rueger, author of Britain, Germany, and the Struggle for the North Sea, says Operation Big Bang was designed by the British to make a big point. "They're very clear that there's a symbolic side to this [operation] and that is the German tradition of militarism," he explains. "There's a sense that Prussian militarism and its threat to Britain has to end and that's very much how Operation Big Bang is received in Britain." The operation was carefully stage-managed - the old black and white pictures even include a close-up of a Royal Navy officer's finger triggering the blast. Aerial footage shows the entire horizon erupting in a huge grey curtain of mud, sand and rock. For the Royal Navy and the British Army of Occupation it was mission accomplished. For the people of Heligoland it felt very different. Europe in 1946 and 1947 was in chaos, with millions of displaced and dispossessed families drifting between camps or sheltering in ruined buildings. The island had been evacuated during the war and many Heligolanders were living in exile in the coastal city of Cuxhaven about 60km (37 miles) to the south. Olaf Ohlsen, who was 11 years old in 1947, gathered with the rest of the exiled population on the cliffs to listen for the sound of the explosion. Few people in history can have lived through such a moment, standing at the edge of sea knowing that they would hear but not see an explosion that they knew would destroy their homes. Olaf says everyone knew that the explosion would be shattering. "Even in Hamburg, which is more than 150 km (93 miles) from the island," he told me, "a schoolteacher kept a document which said the British had warned everyone to leave doors and windows open to help the buildings withstand the blast." Olaf's father was among the pessimists who believed that Britain's real intention was to blow up the island behind a literal smokescreen created by the destruction of the captured ammunition. He still recalls the first time his father brought news of what had happened after the blast, shouting with excitement: "Heligoland is still here, it's still here." In the middle of the 20th Century Heligoland still mattered to its people, fiercely independent speakers of a Friesian dialect who are neither British nor German. But it had lost the strategic importance that made it a crucial bone of contention between the great powers of Europe a hundred years earlier. Britain occupied Heligoland in the Napoleonic period as part of its complex manoeuvrings to deny the French leader the support of the navies of Scandinavia as he took over huge parts of Europe. Thus the British found themselves with a handy naval base that guarded the entrance to the port of Hamburg and allowed it to slip secret agents freely into Napoleonic Europe. By the time they gifted it to the Kaiser in 1890, though, its usefulness appeared to be at an end. Detlev Rickmers, a local hotel owner whose family have been Heligolanders for 500 years, says that even though it's more than a century since the link was broken, a sense of Britishness ran through the population for a long time after 1890. "Of course there was a British governor, there was a sense of being British," he says. "There were connections to Britain. My grandfather told me that he always remembered the excitement of the days when the salesman would call from Huntley and Palmer." In the wake of the Big Bang, of course, things are very different. The British bombing operation acted as a kind of catalyst for a new form of post-war German nationalism. There were campaigns for the island to be returned to German sovereignty and for a rebuilding programme to allow the Heligolanders to go home. Historian Jan Rueger says that perhaps for the last time Operation Big Bang had made Heligoland part of a larger historical argument. "As always in history there's a paradoxical side to these events," he says. "In this case it lies in the way that all over Germany this is seen as a moment that victimises the Germans and allows them to see themselves as victims after a war in which the rest of Europe has been the victim of German aggression." The British bombing left Heligoland's landscape pock-marked and cratered. But the island endured: a stubborn lump of rock in the North Sea. And while most visitors are drawn these days by the lure of duty-free shopping, Heligoland has a fascinating story to tell to anyone who'll listen. The 24-year-old has not scored a point after 18 grands prix starts. It means there will be three British drivers on the grid this year, with world champion Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, Jenson Button at McLaren and Jolyon Palmer at Renault. The first race of the new season is in Australia on 20 March. Stevens secured the Manor drive last year through a sponsorship package believed to be about £6m. Haryanto, who is bringing in about £10m in sponsorship from Indonesia's state oil company, finished fourth in last year's GP2 series, winning three races. The 23-year-old said Manor had "produced a great package and I can't wait to get in the car". Manor's owner, Stephen Fitzpatrick, said: "He's tenacious on and off the track and made a big impression on last year's GP2 battle." DTM German Touring Car champion Pascal Wehrlein was named as Manor's other driver last week. Stevens made his Formula 1 debut with a one-off drive for the now-defunct Caterham team at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Manor were well off the pace last year but the Englishman was able to finish 14 of the 17 races he started. His best result was 13th place at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Manor have struggled at the back of the grid since entering the sport in 2010 but have a new engine deal with Mercedes for 2016. Team founder John Booth and president Graeme Lowdon left at the end of last season with former McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan recruited as racing director. Kabir Ahmed, 28, is one of five Muslim men on trial for stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation at Derby Crown Court. The leaflet, named The Death Penalty?, was one of three distributed in Derby ahead of a gay pride event in 2010. The literature was described in court as "frightening and threatening". Mr Ahmed, of Madeley Street, Derby, admitted giving the leaflet to people outside the city's Jamia Mosque as well as putting them through letterboxes. Its cover featured a mannequin hanging from a noose and said homosexuality was punishable by death under Islam. However, he denied the leaflets had been created to spread hatred against gay people. He said: "My intention was to do my duty as a Muslim, to inform people of God's word and to give the message on what God says about homosexuality. "My duty is not just to better myself but to try and better the society I live in. "We believe we can't just stand by and watch somebody commit a sin. We must try and advise them to stay away from sin." The group produced and distributed two other leaflets, called God Abhors You and Turn Or Burn. A fourth leaflet, called Dead Derby, was found but not circulated. The four other men, Ihjaz Ali, 42, of Fairfax Road; Mehboob Hussain, 45, of Rosehill Street; Umar Javed, 38, of Whittaker Street and his brother Razwan Javed, 28, of Wilfred Street, also deny the charges. The trial continues. Many businesses have shut in Kaduna, one of the cities worst-affected by the demonstrations, a BBC reporter says. On Monday, Shia-dominated Iran summoned a Nigerian diplomat in Tehran to protest against the crackdown. Nigeria's military accuses the pro-Iranian sect of trying to assassinate army chief Gen Tukur Buratai. The sect, known as the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), denies the allegation. The group wants to set up its version of an Islamic republic in Nigeria and has frequently clashed with the army. Shias are a minority in Nigeria, where most Muslims belong to the rival Sunni sect. On Sunday, government troops arrested IMN leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky after besieging his home in the northern city of Zaria. The IMN alleges that the military killed hundreds of its members and destroyed a religious shrine and the home of Sheikh Zakzaky during the raid. A leading human rights activist Chidi Odinkalu, has backed that figure and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to conduct an independent investigation into what happened. "It is not tolerable, Nigerians have the rights to live like citizens of any other nation," he told the BBC. "How can a professional military respond with guns to people protesting with stones," Mr Odinkalu added. The latest protests were triggered by a photo that went viral on social media, purportedly showing him sitting on the ground with a bloodied face. The IMN has its headquarters in Kaduna, where security forces have taken up positions at strategic places as IMN members protest in the streets, says the the BBC's Nura Muhammed Ringim in the city. Some residents are staying in doors because they fear violence could erupt, he says. The cities of Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara and Bauchi have also been hit by protests. The world's foremost Shia state, Iran, which backed IMN has officially protested to the Nigerian authorities. A group of Iranians gathered in front of the UN office in the north-eastern religious city of Mashhad to demand international action into what is happening in Nigeria, Tehran-based Tasnim news agency reports. The military has not given casualty figures, but has denied the IMN's claim that the wife of Sheikh Zakzaky, Zeenat Ibrahim, was killed during the weekend clashes. Maj Gen Oyebado, the army head of the Kaduna division, said on Monday that she was in the army's custody. He did not confirm or deny the death of the couple's son, Sayyid Ibraheem Zakzaky. Last year, three other sons of Sheikh Zakzaky were killed in clashes between the army and pilgrims in a religious procession. Sunni Muslim jihadist group Boko Haram also staged an attack on a Shia procession, recently killing at least 21 people. Boko Haram condemns Shias as heretics who should be killed. Sports stars, including Commonwealth Games gold medallists Euan Burton, Charlie Flynn and Kimberley and Louise Renicks, will host motivational question and answer sessions at The Active Academy at the city's Emirates Arena. In addition, experts and coaches will be leading taster sessions of sports and activities at the event which takes place from 10-12 December 2014. Using the venue's athletics tracks, velodrome and one of the sports halls, the Academy will run try-out sessions for a wide range of activities from football and rugby to street dance, boccia and wrestling. Wrestler and actor, Grado, who appeared in the BBC Scotland documentary, Insane Fight Club, will also be answering questions about life in the ring. The event is aimed at the 16-plus age group and it's expected that more than 2,000 young people will take part in the three day event, with each individual participating in a minimum of two sessions. Schools will be sent registration information directly. Our Thursday evening session runs between 6pm and 7.30pm and is open to members of the public who are 16 years and over. You are invited to have a go at two of the following activities*: basketball, boxing, boccia, cycling, gymnastics for snowsports', football, functional fitness, how to run, judo, rugby, seated throwing, street dance, tennis and yoga. It's an opportunity to try something new. Every day there will be a big name Q&A on at lunchtime that everyone can attend.

Media playback is not supported on this device The Kiwi's tactics have been dubbed 'Warrenball' by critics, based on a perceived reliance on a simple, power-based gameplan. But Gatland says his side will play expansive rugby in New Zealand, and that critics of his methods have been jealous of his past success. "The message to the players is we want to play positive rugby," said Gatland. Speaking before the meeting with Blues in Auckland on Wednesday, Gatland added: "A few years ago [former London Irish and England coach] Brian Smith coined the phrase 'Warrenball'. "I don't know whether that was because he was jealous of how much success we had. Four years ago people decided to be critical, and a lot of people got caught with their pants down afterwards "When did it start? Was it when we were successful at Wasps, or when I was coaching at Waikato and won the Air New Zealand Cup? "We had a group of players that came through Wales that ended up being pretty big and physical players. "The modern game of rugby is about getting across the gainline, trying to get front-foot ball, and playing to space if that's possible." Four years ago, Gatland was criticised before the third and final Test against Australia for his team selection and tactics, but was vindicated as the Lions convincingly beat the Wallabies 41-16 to clinch the series. "Four years ago people decided to be critical, and a lot of people got caught with their pants down afterwards," Gatland continued. "We know we didn't play so well on Saturday, and it gives us an opportunity to go out against the Blues and try to be positive." Media playback is not supported on this device The Lions edged past the Provincial Barbarians last weekend, and now face a decisive week against high-class Super Rugby opposition. The first Test against the All Blacks is on 24 June, also at Eden Park in Auckland. "To match the All Blacks we have to display a bit of x-factor, and the players are being encouraged to do that, because that's what we will need to do to beat them," added Gatland, who was audibly frustrated following the news conference at having to defend himself. "We don't want to be prescribed and we don't want to play by numbers. These players are being encouraged to demonstrate their level of skill. "Hopefully we can show that on Wednesday, and the players can show what they are being encouraged by the coaches to do." Elizabeth Halls, from Herefordshire, is making a tour of 60 aerodromes where her father, Flight Lieutenant Bryan Wild, landed Defiant planes. Mr Wild died in 2012 and Mrs Halls used his memoirs to identify the sites, one of which, named "Uppingdon", she had struggled to find. But the National Trust believes the site was at Uckington in Shropshire. Mrs Halls, from Stansbatch near Leominster, enlisted the help of an aviation historian to edit her father's memoirs, which have now been published. She has embarked on a sponsored six-month tour of the airfields in a 1935 Singer Le Mans sports car, similar to one her father owned during the war, to raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund. While in Shropshire, she will also be visiting an old RAF airfield at High Ercall, where her father was stationed for two weeks in 1942. "Dad talks about Uppingdon Airfield in his notes, but although there is a village of that name, I can't find any mention of an airfield," she said. "I do know that it was next to Attingham Park, which is where the US base Atcham was, so it may be that my father is referring to Atcham, but I would love to find out for sure." Bob Thurston, countryside parks and gardens manager at Attingham Park said he believed Mrs Halls was "almost certainly" referring to Uckington, at the south east edge of the Atcham airfield. "One of the runways was on Uckington farm fields," he said. "To confuse matters, there are also the villages of Uppington and Uffington nearby, though they had no airfield or airfield buildings associated with them." Three out of the four full-time members of staff at the Scala in Prestatyn have been made redundant to cut costs. Denbighshire County Council which part-funds the complex had warned that the operation had to be more cost-effective if its subsidy was to continue. Chairman Rhiannon Hughes said the job losses were regrettable but they had been left with little option. A meeting is being held at the Scala on Tuesday at 15:00 GMT in an appeal for volunteers, but Ms Hughes stressed that volunteers would not be expected to directly replace redundant staff. "There are various roles to be filled, and volunteers can play a big part in making visiting the Scala an enjoyable experience," she said. The front-of-house service will not operate in the mornings due to the cuts. The women, aged 30 and 50, said they were starved and sexually abused by him and other Saudi nationals. Saudi Arabia denies all the charges and refused to revoke diplomatic immunity for the official, making it impossible for him to be tried in India. Analysts say his departure resolves a diplomatic dilemma for India. Nepal and India have close diplomatic relations, but India is also eager to avoid tensions with oil-rich Saudi Arabia where millions of Indians live and work. On Wednesday night, foreign ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup issued a statement saying the diplomat "who is allegedly accused of abusing two Nepali maids has left India". He added that the official was protected under the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations. Police in India had earlier registered a case of rape, sodomy and illegal confinement against the official, without naming him - although the foreign ministry did name him once he had left the country. The women were rescued from an apartment in the Gurgaon suburb of Delhi last week after a tip-off from an NGO. They are alleged to have been abused over a period of several months. "We thought we would die there," one of the women told the AFP news agency. "The apartment was on the 10th floor, there was no way we could run. We were abused every day." The two women returned to Nepal last week. Thousands of men and women from Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries, travel to India and other Asian and Arab states every year to seek work as domestic helpers and labourers. South Wales Police officers had been pursuing a red Ford Focus when it collided with a Landrover at about 18:00 BST on Saturday. A stinger was also used. Mr Gwynne, 35, who was driving the Ford, died at the scene. His family said "losing him so suddenly is devastating". In a statement, Mr Gwynne's family said: "He will be so dearly missed and was a massive part of a large family. "He was always fun and energetic; a true family orientated man who was a fantastic father, partner, son, uncle and great uncle, and brother, who has been taken from us so tragically. "He will be sorely missed and the memories we all share will never leave any of us." The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating the incident on the eastbound side of the carriageway between junctions 30 and 32. Sgt Alexander Blackman, of Taunton, was found guilty of murder at a court martial in November and told he would spend at least 10 years in jail. The Court Martial Appeal Court in London decided to reduce the minimum term he must serve to eight years. Blackman must serve the minimum term before he can be considered for parole. Reducing the sentence, judges Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas, Sir Brian Leveson and Lady Justice Hallett said the court martial had not taken the former marine's combat stress sufficiently into account. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said of the ruling: "We respect the authority and decision of the appeal court, and it would be inappropriate for us to comment on the sentence." Neither Blackman nor his family were in court as the judgement was handed down. Lord Thomas said the court martial ought to have accorded greater weight as a mitigating factor to the combat stress from which Blackman was suffering. He said the stress had arisen from the nature of the insurgency in Afghanistan, the way his tour of duty was arranged and other matters personally affecting him. The judge also said Blackman was unlikely to commit a similar offence again. The murder on 15 September 2011 took place after a patrol base in Helmand province came under fire from two insurgents. One of the attackers was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support, and the marines found him in a field. Footage from another marine's helmet-mounted camera showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner in the chest at close range with a 9mm pistol. Blackman told him: "There you are. Shuffle off this mortal coil, you c***. It's nothing you wouldn't do to us." He then told his comrades: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere, fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention." The court martial board in Bulford, Wiltshire, found Blackman guilty of murdering the insurgent. Two other marines were acquitted. It was the first time a member of the British armed forces had faced a murder charge in relation to the conflict in Afghanistan, which began in 2001. Blackman was also "dismissed with disgrace" from the Royal Marines. He had served with distinction for 15 years, including tours of Iraq, Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. Blackman, 39, had denied murder, claiming he believed the victim was already dead and that he was taking his anger out on the corpse. During the appeal, Blackman's lawyer, Anthony Berry QC, described the murder conviction as "inherently unsafe" because there was a "possibility that he was convicted by a simple majority of a seven-man board". He said there remained "doubt as to whether the prosecution in fact satisfied the criminal standard of proof". The Vive was originally supposed to launch in 2015. It is now set to begin deliveries a few days after Facebook's rival Oculus Rift, which is $200 cheaper. One expert said consumers were suffering "sticker shock" from both prices, to which they must add the cost of a powerful enough PC. "It's going to be very difficult to make a judgement as to whether the Vive is worth the extra $200 until we see the range of games it is launching with," said Ed Barton from the tech consultancy Informa. "Oculus's cost already put the Rift firmly into enthusiast territory, so I think it will be difficult to create any substantial market at an even higher price, which HTC needs to do if it is to build up an ecosystem around its device." The price comparison, however, may not be totally fair. HTC has said that its price tag includes two bundled controllers. The Rift's controllers will not become available until some time after June and their price has yet to be disclosed. HTC also revealed that it would include two games as part of its deal: The Taiwanese firm made the announcement in Barcelona ahead of the start of the Mobile World Congress tech show. It also said that it would begin accepting pre-orders in a week's time. Many people who have tried both headsets believe that the Vive has the potential to offer a superior experience. Unlike the Rift, it includes a camera system that allows the wearer to see real objects close to them, helping them to avoid bumping into furniture. By pressing a button on a handheld controller, the objects appear in ghost form, superimposed onto the virtual reality environment. The Vive has been developed in conjunction with Valve, a US firm whose Steam platform is one of the most popular ways to buy games online, which should give it another advantage. Even so, many are predicting that Sony's more basic PlayStation VR could become the most popular of 2016's headsets if the Japanese company makes it cheap enough. "PlayStation VR has a fantastic opportunity," said Mr Barton. "But Sony may have to sell its hardware at a loss to begin with and try to make it up via volume, game sales and licensing revenues over the lifespan of the device." Mr Akinwolere swam five miles across the Palau Trench, an 8,000-metre deep abyss in the Pacific Ocean. He is the first person to swim across the deepest part of the trench, and now holds the record for the deepest location for an open water swim. He took three and a half hours to complete his swim. His records were verified by the World Open Water Swimming Association. Until a few weeks ago, Mr Akinwolere was unable to swim a length and was terrified of open water. He said: "It's an absolute triumph to have completed this swim, after having had just over 10 weeks of swimming training I still cannot believe how far I've come. "I could not swim a length before this and now I have swum over one of the deepest parts of the world. "All the hours of gruelling training will be worth it if my challenge inspires more children from ethnic minorities to learn to swim." The story of his swim will be screened in a Blue Peter special - Andy's Big Splash - on Monday 20 June on BBC One. The 26-year-old striker scored 10 goals in 35 appearances after joining the Gills on a season-long deal in August. But Emmanuel-Thomas failed to score in six outings under new Gills boss Ady Pennock, who was appointed by the Priestfield Stadium club on 4 January. The former Arsenal trainee is not eligible to play for QPR this season. Emmanuel-Thomas' final appearance for Gillingham was in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Coventry, when the ex-Ipswich and Bristol City man was substituted at half-time. The dive boat Sabre Two got into difficulty on Sunday afternoon. Kyle Lifeboat was launched at 14:30 and its volunteer crew went to the aid of the three people with the boat. The boat was later refloated on a high tide but within minutes it sank. The RNLI crew believed the grounding had damaged the underside of the vessel. Sixteen women have reported being grabbed or touched from behind, or had sexual gestures made towards them. Several were stalked for several minutes before the attacks, which were reported across Brighton and Hove, between 29 December and 28 January. Sussex Police has appealed for victims of similar assaults to contact the force. More news from Sussex All but two of the assaults took place after dark, between early evening and 03:00 GMT. The man has been described as white, with tanned skin, between 20 and 30 years old and of average build with dark hair. He was reported as wearing a dark top with the hood up. Dobbie broke the deadlock in the 34th minute, brilliantly curling the ball into the top-right corner from the edge of the box. And shortly after the interval Dobbie chipped in sweetly off the crossbar after Lyndon Dykes' header was blocked. Falkirke's Luca Gasparotto missed two chances as the hosts took the points.

The three goals were actually scored on Sunday but play was abandoned after 55 minutes because of a waterlogged pitch. The final 35 minutes took place on Monday with no further scoring as St George wrapped up a 5-0 aggregate win. They will now meet Congo's AC Leopards in the next round in March. The shock of the round came on Sunday as Port Louis of Mauritius eliminated Kenyan side Tusker. Ephren Guikan scored two late goals to earn a 2-1 victory and a 3-2 aggregate win. It is only the second time in 15 attempts that a club from Mauritius has reached the final qualifying round of African club football's premier competition. With this year's Champions League featuring four groups of four for the first time - an increase on the two groups of four in recent years - teams are now just 180 minutes from the more lucrative group stages. Any side that reaches the group phase will earn a minimum of $550,000 in prize money. Ports Authority of the Gambia are another side looking to get there, after forcing a 0-0 draw with Sewe Sport to upset the Ivorians as 1-0 aggregate winners. No Gambian club has ever reached the group stage of the African Champions League. Ports' next opponents will be DR Congo's Vita Club, who were runners-up in 2014 (and champions back in 1973). Next month's Round of 32 will feature defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa, who lifted the African Super Cup for the first time on Saturday after beating TP Mazembe. Mazembe are among the other sides to enter the Round of 32 on a bye, alongside - among others - Egyptian duo Al Ahly and Zamalek and Tunisians Esperance and Etoile du Sahel. Smith, who scored 16 goals in 93 appearances for England, joined Doncaster in 2011 from Lincoln Ladies. The 36-year-old was the joint top-scorer for the Belles with 12 goals as they won promotion last season. "There's no reason why we can't compete with the best teams in this league and we showed we can against various teams last season," she said. "With the professional aspect we've been able to add to the Belles for this season, we can definitely compete with the teams up there." Shipbuilding firm Cammell Laird said it had to "address its cost base to remain competitive". In October it won a bid to build a £200m polar research ship, which the public voted to name Boaty McBoatface. The union GMB said the potential job losses were a "shock... and devastating news" for the firm's 663 workers. A Cammell Laird spokesman said the announcement was "a result of finishing substantial... contracts, and without certainty in the award of similar contracts in the immediate term". "The company continues to bid for significant opportunities and remains optimistic for future growth," he added. Last May, MPs called on the government to intervene after the firm, in Birkenhead, Merseyside, said about 200 jobs were at risk because of a shortage of new orders. Speaking after the recent announcement, the GMB said unions had offered to reduce costs "by agreeing to cut two hours from the working week" until building work on the polar vessel is due to start in June. Regional officer Albie McGuigan said: "So far, no progress has been made and if we don't get an agreement, notices of termination will be issued on the 11 May." Birkenhead MP Frank Field, who will be meeting with the firm's management and unions on Friday, said work at Cammell Laird was "totally dependent on the order book". "The yard is putting every effort in to gain new orders so that no one is laid off. It's just won a major ship building order which opens new markets for the yard. "But the delivery of orders doesn't always fit, unfortunately, the number of men and women wishing to work in the yard." Cammell Laird - founded in 1828 - is expected to complete work on the ship, which will be the first British-built polar research vessel with a helideck, in 2019. A spokesperson for its owners Natural Environment Research Council said earlier this month that a final decision on the ship's name would be announced "in due course". Tim Chan claimed he had rented the four bedroom flat to students and was unaware it contained 700 cannabis plants with a street value of £320,000. However a sheriff at Perth Sheriff Court concluded Chan, 58, "knew full well" the operation was ongoing. A man who admitted growing the plants was earlier jailed for 27 months. When Chan's daughter accidentally discovered the huge haul of plants, he warned her not to go to the police until the plants were ready to be harvested. However officers were called in when a floor layer went to measure up the flat for laminate flooring and alerted its owner. Police found every room in the house had been turned over to the production of cannabis, with the bathtub full of chemicals and nearly 2,000 pots and tubs recovered. The smell from the plants was so strong it could be identified in the street. The in-house gardener, Yan Ping He, escaped out of a window when police raided the property but was later traced and jailed for two years and three months. Chan rented the property above the Athole Street restaurant, and admitted knowingly permitting it to be used for the cultivation of cannabis between 27 November and 16 December 2012. Solicitor David Sinclair, defending, said his client was "naive" and had not suspected the "students" he rented the flat to were a professional drugs gang. He said: "He made a deal with the devil here. We are dealing with a high-scale operation here - he cannot shy away from that." Jailing Chan for four years, Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: "This is serious stuff. "You knew full well there was a cannabis cultivation operation ongoing. You would be aware the operation was a significant one. This was not an operation run on a shoestring. "Once you became aware of it you actively encouraged others to avoid contacting the authorities to enable the harvesting to take place. The sentence is well merited." Summing up a disability discrimination tribunal, Newcastle's lawyer, Sean Jones QC, said the club "still had respect and affection" for Gutierrez. But he said there were "holes" in the Argentine's case. In response, Gutierrez's lawyer, Martin Budworth, said Newcastle's witnesses had given "knowingly untrue evidence". A decision and announcement on the outcome of the case could take about a month. Gutierrez, 32, is suing Newcastle over the way he was treated following his cancer diagnosis in October 2013. The Deportivo La Coruna player, who was released by Newcastle in May 2015, claims the Premier League club saw him as a liability after he returned from treatment for testicular cancer. He also alleges he was not selected for some of the second half of the 2014-15 season, when Newcastle avoided relegation on the final day of the campaign, so it would not trigger an automatic one-year contract extension. "It's plainly ludicrous to suggest that we would manage his selection to avoid a £2.5m extension cost when what was at stake was the survival of the club," Jones QC told the tribunal. "The cost of relegation to the club would have been at least £30m, with an ongoing impact of around £80m if they didn't bounce back. "It would have been a blow to Newcastle as a city, for their fans, and would have resulted in the termination of contracts for several of his colleagues and other people. "It would have been a huge hammer blow to their finances." Gutierrez previously said he was not suing the club for the money, but because the way he had been treated by the club was not right. However, Jones QC added there was dispute over the timeline of Gutierrez's case. Gutierrez claims his discrimination began when he was told he should look for another club shortly after he returned from his first round of cancer treatment at the end of 2013. But Jones QC reminded the tribunal that former manager Alan Pardew had said he had let Gutierrez know he was no longer part of the first-team plans in the summer of 2013 and better players had arrived at the club. In his closing remarks, Budworth said Newcastle had failed to call a number of witnesses, including owner Mike Ashley, and doctors who treated Gutierrez because the club was "self-serving". He also alleged that Pardew had given "suspicious evidence" and that his account had been "tailored" to fit the club's versions of events. Budworth said: "The respondent (Newcastle) has preferred to help itself, rather than the tribunal." He added it was unfortunate there was a conflict over when Gutierrez was told to find another club and there was no evidence from Pardew or the club's hierarchy. "There's not a single piece of paper that hints of any activity in the summer of 2013, nobody was emailed," he said. "Even if the slate is clean, they do not have evidence. There are no documents." Budworth described the club's "management" of Gutierrez's appearances in the closing weeks of his contract as "cynical" and said it was not just a "cruel coincidence" he was urged to look for a new club just a couple of weeks after coming back from his first diagnosis. The pair had lost as a mixed doubles team on day one, and went down again as Manila Mavericks lost to Indian Aces. Murray and Sharapova were beaten 6-1 by doubles specialists Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza, after Murray had earlier lost 6-4 to Gael Monfils in singles. Ana Ivanovic then beat Sharapova 6-3 as Indian Aces prevailed 24-15 overall. The four-team event began in Manila on Friday and will move on to Singapore, Delhi and Dubai, with the final on 13 December. Murray is only scheduled to play over the three days of the Manila leg before the Briton heads to the United States for his annual off-season training block. Sharapova, the reigning French Open champion, only committed to play the first two days of the inaugural exhibition event. "This is the first year. Everything is a learning process," said the Russian. "I felt such a great amount of energy walking out to the court. I really felt the warmth here. I'm very blessed to have good fans who are committed and have followed me through so many years." Sharapova admitted the 20-second shot clock - one of a number of innovations being used in the team format - was something she had struggled to get used to. "I feel like pressing 'snooze' all the time," she said of the loud beeping that warns players if they are getting close to the time limit. Murray will complete his IPTL stint on Sunday when Manila take on Singapore Slammers, with Tomas Berdych due to face the Scot in singles. Jaroslaw Kurski in the centre-left daily Gazeta Wyborcza is worried by the right-wing win, recalling how Mr Kaczynski expressed his admiration for the authoritarian government of Viktor Orban in Hungary with the words "Budapest in Warsaw". In his view, Poland turned against the Civic Platform government - despite eight years of prosperity - because of the government's "lack of leadership" and its unpopular decision to raise the retirement age. Mr Kurski fears the incoming government's plans to strengthen the presidency will "erode the separation of powers and pose the greatest danger to democracy". He calls for an "alliance of all forces - civil society, the independent media, and parties that are opposed to authoritarianism - to defend liberal democracy". In the centre-left magazine Newsweek Polska, Tomasz Lis agrees that the country now has "the most right-wing parliament" since the fall of communism in 1989, with all four parties "representing conservative views". In his view, it is ironic that the election that saw the former communists lose all their seats has brought to power "people with a Bolshevik mentality". "Liberal democracy is the loser. Poland has really changed for the worse," he laments. Jacek Nizinkiewicz in the centre-right daily Rzeczpospolita is more positive, writing that Mr Kaczynski's party "deserved to win, if only for its thorough and innovative campaign", just as Civic Platform "deserved to lose, having run a poor campaign and lost touch with society". But he says the new government must clarify whether it will reverse pension reform, take a harder line on Russia, and try to control publicly-funded media as it did in 2005-2007. Otherwise Mr Kaczynski "may not be able to build on his great victory". Centrist Dziennik Gazeta Prawna says the new government should not only think about implementing its election manifesto, but also "deal with problems that will decide the fate of Poland for decades". These are "demography, migration, maintaining financial credibility abroad" and, above all, "economic innovation to increase productivity and efficiency, in order to compensate for the declining birth rate". Tomasz Siemieniec in the Puls Biznesu financial magazine concurs that there is no time to lose - the first party since 1989 to enjoy an absolute parliamentary majority can dispense with "rotten compromises... and concentrate on governing. And there's a lot to do". He says "reversing unfavourable demographic trends and making effective use of European Union funds" are priorities that can "make Poland a regional economic tiger, narrow the gap with the West". In centre-right Wprost magazine, Tomasz Wroblewski agrees that the new government cannot be complacent. "Sometimes elections are a reflection of a deeper social phenomenon that the losers overlooked... the winners used society's need for change to get into power, but this can change quickly if the new team does not understand what this change is all about". Piotr Semka sees Jaroslaw Kaczynski as the "indestructible" survivor of politics. In conservative Do Rzeczy magazine, he praises Mr Kaczynski's "hard, patient work" in building up durable local party groups nationwide.

Ahmed Muthana, father of Nasser, 20, and Aseel, 17, was responding to the news Khan, 21, had been killed by an RAF drone strike in Raqqa, Syria. Prime Minister David Cameron said Khan had been plotting "specific and barbaric attacks". He added the "act of self-defence" was lawful. Mr Muthana said: "I think they are on a hit list. They're targeting everyone now. "I ask the prime minister not to target them but if they have evidence I don't mind, they deserve it...but I don't think they are involved in attacks on the UK." He added: "I think the prime minister is hiding something. He's making excuses. "They just want to intervene in Syria. "He's making it up when he says there's information. If he has the proof then he has the right to kill them, but he should publish that proof. I think it was done for political reasons." Meanwhile, Muslim leaders have demanded proof Khan was plotting a terrorist attack on the UK. A Khan family friend, Mohammed Islam, said there was a "cover-up". The former city councillor told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "We are very shocked and devastated to hear that a British prime minister for the first time ever in history went out of the country, we don't have any war with the country, and go and kill a British citizen without any legal permission from the parliament." Mr Islam said Mr Cameron should have sent an "SOS" and captured Khan to "bring him to justice" in the UK. He went on: "What is so serious that he (Khan) is going to do something from Syria and our MI6 and MI5, and the whole defence in the British system, are completely going to fail a single Reyaad Khan? "This is completely surprising me and shocking me that the whole country and the defence system is failing [those] jihadists. This is a cover-up story, I believe." Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, said Khan's family knew of his death about 10 days ago but the prime minister's revelation about the drone strike was the first they had heard about how he died. "They weren't aware how he died and that was why it was a shock to the community that it was a drone attack and he was getting involved in terrorist activities," he told BBC Radio Wales. "The community would like to have more information on what he wanted to do for him to be killed. "It would be better for the prime minister or government to come up with some evidence to satisfy the community." In an earlier interview, Mr Kidwai said: "The people who knew Reyaad Khan never thought that he's the kind of a person who can do something sitting far away from here." The prime minister told MPs Khan was killed along with Ruhul Amin, from Aberdeen, in a "precision strike" on 21 August by a remotely piloted aircraft, "after meticulous planning", while he was travelling in a vehicle. In a Commons statement on Monday, Mr Cameron said both Khan and Amin had been involved in actively recruiting IS "sympathisers" and were plotting to attack "high-profile public commemorations" taking place in the UK this summer. National newspapers are reporting they included VE Day in May, Armed Forces Day in June and VJ Day last month, Two years ago MPs rejected possible UK military action in Syria, but last September approved British participation in air strikes against IS targets in Iraq only. However, officials said the UK would "act immediately [in Syria] and explain to Parliament afterwards" if there was "a critical British national interest at stake". The strike on Khan was "the first time in modern times that a British asset has been used to conduct a strike in a country where we're not involved in a war", the PM confirmed. Following the announcement in the Commons, Cardiff West MP Kevin Brennan said Khan's death was a "sad inevitability". "But the house will have been surprised to find that the manner of his death has been by a drone strike against a British citizen in Syria and therefore there will be many questions that the house will have, and I will have as his constituency MP," he added. Mr Brennan said he wanted Mr Cameron to explain the "nature of the threat" Khan posed. The PM responded he would be as "forthcoming as I possibly can be". Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday: "This was a perfectly legal act of self-defence to prevent an armed attack on the streets of Britain." David Cameron said Reyaad Khan was behind a number of plots. He was a terrorist plotting murder on our streets, so the prime minister said, and the only way to stop him given there was no political way to operate with the government in Syria was to kill him in the way that was done with a remote-controlled drone aircraft. David Cameron's defence is that it was entirely lawful under the United Nations Charter that does allow self-defence by countries. He says it was signed off by the Attorney General, although he will not publish that legal approval. Mr Cameron referred to the plots, focusing on what he called public commemorations in the UK this summer. There has been speculation [in London papers] it may have involved the VJ Day commemorations in August that were attended by the Queen There was a real sense of shock when David Cameron outlined the details of what had happened. It is something that has not happened before, taking out a British citizen in this way in a country where Britain is not authorised in terms of conflict. Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman asked for independent scrutiny of the decision which ultimately was approved by the prime minister himself. He will come under pressure which he will resist to publish the legal advice. But both Harriet Harman and Kevin Brennan - Reyaad Khan's MP when he lived in Cardiff - think it right that a committee of senior MPs, an intelligence and security committee do need to look at this, because is it is as if the rules of the game have changed.

The father of two Cardiff jihadists thought to have been fighting alongside Reyaad Khan has said he fears his sons are on a "hit list".

Barry McCarney, 35, challenged verdicts that he was guilty of killing Millie Martin. He also contested charges that he subjected her to a sexual assault and grievous bodily harm. But in court in Belfast on Friday, senior judges refused his appeal. They rejected criticisms about the handling of applications for "no case to answer" at his trial. Allegations of failures in how the jury was directed were also dismissed. Lord Justice Higgins said: "We do not consider that any of the matters relied upon by the applicant rendered his trial for the murder of Millie Martin to have been unfair." McCarney was ordered to serve a minimum 25 years of a life sentence imposed for killing the toddler. She died in December 2009 after being admitted to hospital in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, with serious injuries. She had fractured ribs, heavy bruising and a burnt finger. McCarney, formerly of Trillick, County Tyrone, had started a relationship with Millie's mother, Rachael, and moved into the family home in Enniskillen months before her death. Although he was found guilty of murder, no verdict was entered on a separate count of causing the death of a child. Rachael Martin was cleared of charges of allowing her daughter's death and cruelty through wilful neglect. Lord Justice Higgins, sitting with Lord Justice Coghlin and Mr Justice Horner, held that the trial judge had been "scrupulous" in ensuring proceedings against McCarney were fair. He also pointed out that McCarney declined to give evidence, unlike his co-accused, Rachel Martin. McCarney, who appeared by video-link from prison to hear his appeal being thrown out, is now expected to press ahead with a bid to have his jail term reduced.

A man jailed for murdering his ex-partner's 15-month-old daughter has failed in a bid to have his convictions overturned.

Prosecutors on Wednesday filed charges against Lula and his wife, Marisa Leticia, over an alleged corruption scheme at state oil company Petrobras. In his first public comments, Lula accused prosecutors of lying. He said the charges were aimed at destroying his political ambitions. He said his case, and the unrelated campaign against his successor as president, Dilma Rousseff, were a conspiracy. Ms Rousseff was dismissed by the Senate last month after an impeachment trial that found her guilty of manipulating the budget. The most hated and most loved man in Brazil What has gone wrong in Brazil? Lula said the Brazilian elite had never accepted him, or his party's social reforms. "What has raised all that hatred against the Workers' Party was the success of our government, the biggest policy of social inclusion in the history of this country," Lula said at a Workers' Party event. "Prove anything against me and I will walk all the way to hand myself in and be arrested," he added. "No one is above the law in Brazil. Do investigate me and punish me if I have broken the law. But be honest and respect my family," said Lula. A former factory worker, Lula broke down in tears when he spoke about his humble origins. Lula, 70, served as president from 2003 to 2010. But during his hour-long speech, Lula also joked that the prosecutors looked like the authors of a bad soap opera, searching desperately for a villain in their closing episode. At a press conference on Wednesday, prosecutors accused Lula of being the "boss" of a huge corruption scheme that cost Petrobras an estimated $12.6bn (£9.5bn) in losses. Prosecutors had been investigating whether Lula and his wife, Marisa Leticia, failed to declare ownership of a luxury flat. They said OAS, a construction company at the centre of the Petrobras affair, had bought and refurbished the property for Lula and his wife. The company had earned lucrative contracts during Lula's years in office. Earlier on Thursday, a Brazilian judge sentenced a businessman linked to Lula, Jose Carlos Bumlai, to nine years and 10 months in jail for corruption. Mr Bumlai was arrested last year accused of taking a loan on behalf of the Workers' Party from a company that was promised contracts with Petrobras. Media playback is not supported on this device The most successful combination in the sport's history will officially bow out at Olympia's London International Horse Show on Wednesday. Carl Hester, Dujardin's Great Britain team-mate, mentor and trainer, described the pair as "special". "I am not surprised at what they have achieved," he added. There will never be a horse to replace Valegro With 10 Olympic, world and European gold medals in the bag, 14-year-old Valegro is making a farewell appearance in a special ceremony. Hester, who also co-owns Valegro, added: "Dressage was crying out for something new when they started out together. "Generally, it was going a bit stale as a sport, and I think Charlotte and Valegro turned the sport back around to what it should be and what people wanted to watch. "The harmony they had together was so good." Dujardin said: "There will never be a horse to replace Valegro. He is one in a million, and all I can say is I have been so lucky to have had the chance to ride a horse like him. "To have had so many years of pure pleasure and enjoyment, no-one can take that away." Meanwhile Hester, 49, won the FEI World Cup dressage grand prix at Olympia on Tuesday. The 2016 Olympic silver medallist, on board Nip Tuck, scored 77.54% to take the class. Full BBC coverage details from the 2016 Olympia Horse Show Frank Standen, 84, of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, started suffering from symptoms days into a trip from Southampton to Cape Verde in November 2011. He was initially treated by the ship's doctors but flown to hospital on Gran Canaria when his condition worsened. Fred Olsen said there was no evidence he contracted the illness on board. After he was airlifted from the cruise ship Black Watch, Mr Standen spent seven weeks in hospital in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and then a further five weeks at Sevenoaks Hospital. He said the whole experience for he and his wife Patricia, 83, was "absolutely terrible" and he was delighted to have received a settlement from Fred Olsen. "I feel really lucky to be alive but the whole experience of the cruise, being airlifted from the ship and spending so much time in hospital was absolutely dreadful and really shook me up. "Myself and Patricia did not get to enjoy our cruise and instead of being at home with my family over Christmas I was in hospital in a foreign country." Irwin Mitchell lawyer, Clare Pearson, who represented the couple said it was "disappointing that the cruise operator denied liability" and waited until the case was due to go to trial before agreeing payment. In a statement, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines said it was "very sorry that Mr Standen was seriously unwell" but denied liability for his illness. "As soon as his symptoms were discovered our ships doctors and nurses did everything possible to ensure he received the best treatment. They quickly identified that Mr Standen would need to be taken to hospital and the ship arranged for a helicopter evacuation," it continued. "Despite thorough and extensive testing there is no evidence to suggest that he contracted Legionnaires' disease on board our ship. No other guests or crew were found ill on this or any other subsequent cruise." Legionnaires' is a form of pneumonia which is most often contracted by inhaling mist from water. His daughter Thays said he was critically ill and had been taken back to the operating theatre at the Santo Tomas hospital in Panama City. Noriega, 83, was released from prison in January to allow him to prepare for the operation. He was jailed in Panama for murder, corruption and embezzlement. Doctors were successful in halting the haemorrhage during the second operation, but Noriega remains in intensive care. "He is sedated,'' said his lawyer Ezra Angel. "His condition is critical after undergoing a (second) open brain surgery in less than eight hours." Noriega suffered from vascular ailments and has been reliant on a wheelchair. Although he was never the actual president of Panama, General Noriega was the key figure from 1983 to 1989 - and a key US ally in Central America for four decades. The former military ruler, who is now 83, was jailed following the US invasion of Panama in 1989. After serving 20 years in the US he was sent to France, where he was sentenced to seven years for money laundering. Noriega was convicted in absentia of crimes carried out during his rule and extradited from France to Panama to serve his sentence in 2011. Mr Hancock made the comment towards ex-colleague Gerald Vernon-Jackson during a BBC Radio Solent debate with Portsmouth South candidates. Mr Vernon-Jackson said "politics needs to be less about personality". The candidates also discussed shipbuilding in the city, immigration, the NHS and trust in politicians. Mr Hancock, who is standing as an independent candidate, resigned from the Lib Dems after apologising for an "inappropriate and unprofessional friendship" with a vulnerable constituent. He had been the MP for the area since 1997 and also for three years during the 1980s. The former Lib Dem said: "I don't think I would have stood if Gerald hadn't been the Lib Dem candidate. I don't like him. "I lost trust in Gerald and I wouldn't like to have someone follow me who I couldn't trust, so why should the people of Portsmouth trust him?" Mr Vernon-Jackson, who was leader of Portsmouth City Council for 10 years, said: "Politics needs to be less about personality and giving an offer to the people of the city and what policies they can put through." Flick Drummond, the Conservative candidate, said: "Being independent will not give him the strong voice for Portsmouth in parliament." Labour's Sue Castillon said people wanted someone who would represent their issues and their problems, rather than controversy. Steve Harris, UKIP's candidate, said Mr Hancock could run if he wanted to. He added: "Anyone who thinks politics doesn't hinge on personality is nuts." The candidates also talked about poverty and local issues during the debate, chaired by Julian Clegg. Mr Vernon-Jackson, Ms Drummond and Mr Hancock all called for better education and good employment prospects. Ms Castillon said young people needed more say in their future and Labour would give the vote to 16-year-olds. Mr Harris said uncontrolled migration was making Portsmouth "overcrowded". Barry Beavis, 48, was sent a charge letter for £85 by car park operator ParkingEye after he overstayed a two-hour limit in Chelmsford in April 2013. ParkingEye argued such charges were "a commercially-justified deterrent". The Court of Appeal has dismissed the case though Mr Beavis, of Chelmsford, can refer it to the Supreme Court. The three appeal court judges unanimously dismissed his challenge, saying the amount he was charged "is not extravagant or unconscionable". After the judgement, Mr Beavis, who is considering taking his case to the Supreme Court - the highest court in the land - said: "I am absolutely furious that they have not upheld the law as it stands but have created new law." ParkingEye argued the charges were justified to discourage people from over-staying at a site close to the railway station and law courts. After Mr Beavis first refused to pay the £85 he received a court summons and was told the charge had increased to £150. He challenged this last May at Cambridge County Court, where a judge ruled the £85 charge was lawful and did not breach the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations. His challenge at the Court of Appeal was against the county court verdict. Prof Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said it was "deeply frustrating" the case has gone against Mr Beavis. The British Parking Association welcomed the court's judgement saying it "provided clarity on the use of contract law for parking on private land". "Whilst the judgment does not appear to mention an upper limit, we would not expect our members to increase their charges as a result of this decision. "The judgment at least confirms that their current charging is lawful and reasonable. "Remember only a small minority of motorists fall foul of such conditions. Everyone can avoid these additional charges by complying with rules." This is up from £55m for the same period last year. Chief executive Jim Brown said it showed continued progress for Ulster Bank "as it supports the economic recovery across the island of Ireland". This was despite being affected by the weakened euro currency, he said. "We see an increased profit, reduced operating expenses and a continued trend of impairment releases driven by proactive debt management and the improving economic conditions," he said. Ulster Bank's parent group Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) reported second-quarter net profits of £293m, up 27% on the same quarter in 2014. The Northern Party, which was launched on Wednesday, says it is campaigning in Lancashire and the North Its leader is Michael Dawson, a former Executive Committee member of the Labour Campaign for Human Rights The candidates include Harold Elletson, former Conservative MP for Blackpool North from 1992 to 1997. Mr Dawson said the party planned to contest Morecambe and Lunesdale, Lancaster and Fleetwood, Blackpool North and Cleveleys, Fylde and Rossendale and Darwen. Claiming support from former Tories, Labour and Greens Mr Dawson added: "We've been planning this for months. This is a Northern Rebellion against a system that has failed the North." He also said: "We'll cost the Tories seats and then we'll go after Labour." Analysis: Chris Rider, BBC Radio Lancashire Political Reporter The group behind the Northern Party have clearly worked out their strategy in delaying this announcement so close to the election. The former Blackpool North Conservative MP Harold Elletson and Michael Dawson, the nephew of Hilton Dawson - the former Lancaster Labour MP - have led the way on this. The two have for a while being involved in their campaign for the north, to bring back more power and wealth to the region. The clear tactic is to focus on the Conservative marginals. So, the question is whether the Northern Party is here to stay. Its manifesto sets out various plans to deal with the problems facing the region - health, schools, the economy, housing. The party says it has been working with various organisations to enable it to make real progress. Some key members of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi have left to form a splinter group in central Hyogo prefecture, Japanese media report. One member said they were unhappy at the way their former gang chief was collecting money. Police said they would be on alert for any possible violence. The Yamaguchi-gumi gang is the largest of Japan's organised crime syndicates, known as the yakuza. Police say it has about 23,000 members. Yakuza gangs have been part of Japanese society for a long time; there are believed to be about 60,000 members nationwide. The gangs themselves are not illegal, although much of their earnings are gained illicitly through gambling, prostitution, drug trafficking and, increasingly, cyber-hacking. The new group told reporters it would be called Ninkyo Daintai Yamaguchi-gumi and, although it would not have a boss, would be represented by Yoshinori Oda, 50, a former executive of the old gang. The Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi gang was formed two years ago after powerful factions split away from the main Yamaguchi-gumi group. Media playback is not supported on this device Wenger has been Gunners boss since October 1996 and has won the Premier League three times, but the 67-year-old's contract expires in the summer. Arsenal, who last won the league title in 2004, lost 3-1 to league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday to fall 12 points behind the Blues. "Does he still have the stomach to do this again?" asked Wright. "It is a tough couple of months for Arsene Wenger, and Arsenal are doing what they do when they slip up," added the Match of the Day pundit, who was part of Arsenal's Premier League-winning squad in 1997-98. "Arsenal are in the top four, but they aren't winning the league. "Arsene Wenger has some really serious thinking to do at the end of the season." Former England defender Martin Keown was part of Wenger's side in each of his three top-flight title wins and he believes the Frenchman will stay on at Arsenal. Keown told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme: "The way that they are sort of losing their way now, the question comes again - does Arsene Wenger remain in the seat? Do they look to make a change? "I just feel the way the club is so pragmatic in its decision making, I don't see Arsene leaving. Whether he should or shouldn't, I don't think it will happen." He added: "He will decide when he leaves the club. I do feel that is the situation and I do feel he has earned the right, in the same way that Sir Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United, to choose when he goes. "I feel deep down he has already made his mind up to stay. It is just the timing of that announcement. Results like against Chelsea make that difficult for him to do. "He doesn't make spur of the moment decisions. He has to make the best decision for Arsenal and not just for himself." Wenger watched Saturday's game at Stamford Bridge from the stand as part of a four-match touchline ban. He saw his side go behind to a Marcos Alonso header, before Eden Hazard's solo run and finish doubled the Chelsea lead. An Olivier Giroud headed consolation came after former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas lobbed Petr Cech. Arsenal are third in the table, a point clear of both Liverpool, who lost at Hull on Saturday, and Manchester City, who host Swansea on Sunday (13:30 GMT). The Gunners have finished fourth in six of the past 11 seasons and former England defender Danny Mills believes they have "settled for fourth again". "Chelsea were just so much better all over the pitch physically, mentally," said Mills on BBC Radio 5 live. "That mentality has to filter down from the top," he added, referring to Wenger. "It has nothing to do with him being in the stands. He's told them 30 seconds before they go out on to the pitch. "They were weak mentally and physically. Hazard brushed away three or four Arsenal defenders on his way to scoring." Wenger was not happy with Alonso's goal, with the Spaniard's arm making contact with Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin's head as he jumped to meet the ball. "Of course it was a foul," said Wenger. "Referees are much more severe with tackles on the ground and let much more go with elbows in the face. It's not only today, but in many, many games I see. "But it's more dangerous to hit the head than the legs." However, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte countered: "To hear this in England, I'm surprised. I must be honest. In England, in this league, this is always a goal. "It was a contest and Alonso jumped more than Bellerin and scored a goal." Media playback is not supported on this device Many people are following the lead of stars such as Kim Kardashian and Beyonce by posting self-shot photos on social media. Face, eye and lip make-up sales have seen double-digit growth as a result, according to the NPD Group. The analyst said sales of "prestige make-up" hit £390m in the first eight months of the year. This was up by 14.3% compared with the same period a year earlier. Self-portraits and social media: The rise of the 'selfie' Britons 'love smartphones and selfies' The beauty market - including the products on offer - were being driven by individuals such as the self-confessed selfie-obsessed television star, NPD claimed. "Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Cara Delevingne have inspired a generation of women to post selfies on social media channels such as Instagram and Facebook," said June Jensen, director of UK beauty at the NPD Group. "Face, eye and lip make-up is vital to achieving a photo-ready finish and brands have responded with foundation and primers that reference the look people want to achieve using terms like photo-ready, camera-ready and HD. "It has spurned a new sub-sector and is driving sales." The analyst's figures suggested the total UK eye make-up sector was valued at £101m in January to August, up 13% on the same period a year earlier. Lip make-up reported sales of £54m, up 16%. Products for strobing - used to layer highlights on the face to illuminate complexion - saw sales rise by 48.5%, it added. Official figures from the Office for National Statistics show that prices for personal care rose by 0.4% in August compared with a year earlier. France-born Benalouane, 28, signed a four-year deal when he joined the Foxes in August from Italian side Atalanta. He is yet to start a top-flight game for the Premier League leaders.

They warn that malaria deaths since the Ebola outbreak began will far exceed the number of Ebola deaths in the country - which now stand at 2,444. Their report is in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. Both Ebola and malaria cause fever. The authors of the Lancet report say fear surrounding the Ebola virus may have stopped patients in Guinea going to see a doctor to get this symptom checked. Dr Mateusz Plucinski and colleagues analysed how many patients clinics in Guinea were seeing before and during the Ebola epidemic that emerged there in early 2014. They sampled 60 health facilities in the most Ebola-affected districts and 60 in districts unaffected by Ebola. And they looked at malaria prescriptions dispensed before and during the epidemic. Once Ebola hit, outpatient attendances fell dramatically - by nearly half in certain age groups in the worst-affected areas. And the number of treated malaria cases dropped by up to 69%. At the same time, the rate of "just in case" or presumptive treatment of fever cases with antimalarial drugs in health facilities and by community health workers decreased or did not change. The US experts warn that malaria deaths will have risen as a result. Meanwhile, Ebola seems to be abating. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in the most recent week for which there is data, there were 10 reported cases of Ebola in Guinea. In early 2015, cases were in the hundreds. But malaria has been a long-standing problem in the region - particularly in the young. WHO estimates suggest it led to around 584,000 deaths globally in 2013. Most occurred among children in Africa. Dr Franco Pagnoni, from the WHO's Global Malaria Programme, said untreated malaria cases had placed an additional burden on an already overburdened health system in the Ebola-affected countries. He said it was important to ensure that Ebola containment and prevention activities were accompanied by efforts to detect, treat and prevent malaria in order to save more lives. Towards the end of 2014, the World Health Organization recommended mass treatment of malaria irrespective of symptoms in areas heavily affected by Ebola. This happened in Liberia and Sierra Leone, but not Guinea. Dr Plucinski said: "Malaria control efforts and care delivery must be kept on track during an Ebola epidemic so that progress made in malaria control is not jeopardised and Ebola outbreak response is not impeded." Lisa Marie Naegle, 36, who competed in 2010 for a dream wedding and plastic surgery on the show Bridalplasty, last spoke to her husband early on Sunday. Police arrested a 34-year-old nursing student, Jackie Jerome Rogers, on Tuesday after questioning him. They said he told investigators Ms Naegle's body was at his home. "We can confirm a body which we believe is Lisa Marie was discovered in a shallow grave at the suspect's home," police spokesman Sal Ramirez said on Tuesday night of the discovery in Lennox, near Los Angeles International Airport. "The detectives strongly believe it is her." Police did not give a motive for the killing. Ms Naegle was hit on the head seven times with a hammer early on Sunday morning, reports celebrity gossip website TMZ, citing law enforcement sources. The Daily Breeze, a local newspaper, reported that she taught nursing classes at West Los Angeles College and that Mr Rogers was one of her students. She had gone to a birthday party on Saturday night at Alpine Village, a beer hall and restaurant in another Los Angeles suburb, Torrance. Ms Naegle's husband, Derek Harryman, said he had texted her at around 02:00 local time (10:00 GMT) on Sunday to find out where she was. "Within a minute or two, she called me," Mr Harryman told the Daily Breeze. "She sounded really, really drunk. She said, 'I'm going to get some food and then I'll be home.'" But she never made it. Her family reported her missing on Sunday night and issued an appeal on social media for help in finding her. They said they obtained photos showing Ms Naegle - who came fourth on E! network's Bridalplasty - leaving the beer hall with Mr Rogers. Ms Naegle's relatives contacted Mr Rogers after they obtained CCTV footage which appeared to show her getting into the suspect's vehicle. Her sister, Danielle Naegle-Kaimona, told KABC-TV: "While he was talking to us and telling us his story, multiple different times he said he absolutely did not go home with her, or did not take her home." After being challenged that Ms Naegle had been filmed getting into his car, Mr Rogers changed his story, the family said. He acknowledged that the missing woman did get into his car, but said she got out moments later. The family then contacted police. Lee Martin, 48, from Basingstoke, died in hospital after he was hit by a Ford Transit van on 12 August 2015. Christopher Gard, 30, of Alton admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for nine years. The Martin family said Gard should have faced tougher action for previous offences of using a phone at the wheel. Father of two Mr Martin was taking part in an organised event on the A31 near Bentley in Hampshire when he was hit by Gard's van. In a statement, the Martin family said: "The great tragedy about Lee's death is that it was totally avoidable. "The defendant had been convicted of using his phone at least six times prior to the event. "Only six weeks before Lee's death he was in front of magistrates pleading hardship if he lost his driving licence. He was, once again, being convicted of using his phone whilst driving and should have been losing his licence due to having too many points. "Each previous conviction on his licence had been for using his phone whilst driving. The magistrates chose to allow the defendant to keep his licence. "Whilst Lee's death is clearly the fault of the defendant, we feel that the legal system is somewhat to blame. "The leniency shown in this case on the defendant, and the lack of understanding of the serious nature of using a phone whilst driving has resulted in Lee Martin's death." Hampshire Constabulary said Gard was texting immediately prior to the time of the crash. PC David Mitchell said: "Gard took the decision to send and receive text messages. He remained unaware of the presence of Mr Martin or any other cyclists up to the point of collision." Gard, who had admitted causing death by dangerous driving, was also banned from driving for 14-and-a-half years at Winchester Crown Court on Monday. The production, set in Kensington Palace in 1993, sees Margaret going through bags of royal correspondence with the intention of burning them. When an ex-gangster arrives, the Queen's sister has the choice "to make or break her family yet again". A Princess Undone, by Richard Stirling, will have its world premiere at Cambridge Arts Theatre on 19 October. Directed by Matthew Gould, it will feature Beacham in an exact copy of Princess Margaret's Poltimore tiara - worn by the princess on her wedding day. "She was Diana before Diana, and it must have been difficult," Beacham told the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye. "It's always difficult being second fiddle." Princess Margaret died in 2002. Beacham's television work includes The Colbys, Dynasty, Bad Girls and Coronation Street. More recently she has appeared in Trollied and Boomers. The cast also includes Emmerdale and Waterloo Road actor Jason Merrells as ex-gangster John Bindon. The play will tour in November to the Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne and Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.

The 34-year-old former Bears captain spent his entire career at Edgbaston, making 159 first-class appearances and scoring more than 8,000 runs. He twice won the County Championship with the Bears, in 2004 and 2012, captaining the side in 2009 and 2010. However, he has only played in four Championship matches this season and has now retired with immediate effect. "Playing for my home county was all that I ever wanted to do as a junior," he said. "I am very proud to have enjoyed a 15-year career, in which I have been part of teams that have won the County Championship and also captained the club. "It has been a very difficult decision to retire, but this is the right time. I would like to thank the many people that have supported me throughout, particularly the players and coaches who I have worked with, club members and of course my family. "I'm now going to enjoy a period with my family, but certainly intend to remain in cricket and will be a regular visitor to Edgbaston to catch up with the lads and support the Bears." Westwood began planning for a possible future career as an umpire last summer when he started officiating in Birmingham League matches. Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said nothing should be decided without Poland's agreement. The ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) implacably opposes Mr Tusk, a former prime minister from a rival party. Correspondents say such hostility among compatriots is highly unusual in EU politics. But Mr Tusk is still expected to get enough support to keep his post. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has backed a new 30-month term for Mr Tusk, saying it would be a "sign of stability". As European Council president, he would play a major role in the UK's Brexit negotiations. Thursday's meeting of EU leaders in Brussels is the last that UK Prime Minister Theresa May will attend before formally launching the two-year Brexit process later this month. Although Brexit itself is not on the agenda, leaders will meet again on Friday - minus Mrs May - to discuss EU unity. Poland's government is desperately trying to prevent Mr Tusk from being re-elected to a second term as president of the European Council. Instead it has proposed its own candidate, a little-known Polish MEP called Jacek Saryusz-Wolski. Arriving for the summit, Ms Szydlo said Poland's voice had to be heard. "Nothing should be decided without our consent," she said. "Today in this building it would be good to recall this main principle of community building." In an interview earlier with Polish television, Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said his country could even veto the summit's conclusions to scupper Mr Tusk's re-election. But Prime Minister Joseph Muscat of Malta, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, suggested Mr Tusk's re-election could not be blocked. "One country, or a number of countries might be against that decision, but one country cannot block a decision," he said. "There are very clear rules of engagement and rules of procedure which we will follow." Ms Szydlo has also written a letter to EU leaders saying Mr Tusk has "violated multiple times his European mandate" by getting involved in Polish political disputes and supporting the opposition to the government. The EU has angered Poland's nationalist government by criticising changes to the country's top court, new restrictions on journalists and its opposition to resettling refugees by quota. Mr Tusk was prime minister from 2007-2014. He led the centre-right Civic Platform when the PiS was in opposition. PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski holds Mr Tusk "politically" responsible for the 2010 plane crash in Russia which killed his twin Lech Kaczynski, the then Poland's president, and all other 95 people on board. The plane crashed in dense fog. Official investigations ruled pilot error was the principal cause. In 2012, Jaroslaw Kaczynski told Mr Tusk in parliament: "In the political sense you bear 100% responsibility for the catastrophe in Smolensk." Many Poles believe Mr Tusk's government did not do enough to explain the causes of the crash. Critics say Mr Tusk should not have allowed the Russians to conduct the first crash investigation. Under the Chicago Convention, which covers international air travel, the state on whose territory a crash occurs bears responsibility for conducting the investigation. Jaroslaw Kaczynski also accused Mr Tusk of favouring "solutions that are extremely harmful to Poland". The European Council brings together the heads of state and government of the 28 EU member states. Jointly they set the EU's strategic direction in key areas, such as reform of the eurozone, the Greek debt crisis, the migrant challenge and relations with Russia. The Council president aims to achieve consensus - deploying all his diplomatic skills - on these tricky issues, where national tensions often dictate how leaders behave. Mr Tusk took charge in late 2014 and his term ends on 31 May. If his fellow leaders back him on Thursday, he will stay in office until 30 November 2019. That period coincides with the expected two-year Brexit talks on UK withdrawal from the EU. Malta, currently chairing EU business, is likely to seek approval of Mr Tusk by consensus. Poland's hostility may push it to a vote - but then Mr Tusk is still likely to win by a qualified majority. New rules governing drone ownership require anyone aged 13 or over who owns one of the craft to add their details to the register. Anyone who gets a drone after 21 December must register with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before it goes on its maiden flight. Existing owners have until 19 February to put their details online. Anyone who does not comply could face hefty fines. Those who register will be given an identification number that they must display on the remote-controlled craft. Registration is valid for three years. The rules cover drones weighing between half a pound and 55lb (228g to 22.7kg). A $5 (£3.30) registration fee is being waived for the first 30 days of the system to encourage people to register. Those who do not comply could face a fine of up to $27,500. The FAA hs said that in "severe cases" of drone abuse it can mount a criminal prosecution which could see offenders hit with a $250,000 fine and up to three years in prison. The register of owners has been set up following several high-profile cases which saw drones flown in restricted airspace near airports and crowds, or that interfered with the work of emergency services. The FAA said it wanted the register up and working before Christmas as drones are widely expected to be a popular gift. FAA rules for flying drones stipulate that they must: Police believe the fire at a house in Parsonage Road, Withington, started in the living room at the back of the property at about 02:20 GMT. Four children, aged between 10 and 17, and a man were also injured and are in hospital, the fire service said. The man is in a serious condition after he was revived at the scene after suffering a heart attack. Ch Sup Was Chaudhry said the children are being treated for smoke inhalation and compression injuries after jumping from a window. He praised neighbours who helped rescue the family: "Without their help I'm sure other people would have suffered more serious injuries and possibly even fatalities." One neighbour said he had heard people at the property screaming for help. Mike Parr said he called 999 after he was woken by the fire, adding: "There was a huge amount of black smoke coming out of the house, quite a lot of flames." Neighbours said a "quiet and polite" family lived at the address. Student Emily Puckering, 22, said: "I could hear a woman, she was shouting and screaming... I could hear her shouting to the fire brigade, 'please save my house'. "It's heartbreaking, it's absolutely tragic. "I just feel a bit shocked. I just feel absolutely awful for them, for the family, for the children." Formal identification of the bodies and post-mortem examinations are yet to take place, Greater Manchester Police said. Officers are investigating the cause of the blaze in conjunction with the fire service. Det Insp Tony Lea said: "My thoughts are with the family of the man and woman after such a tragic incident and we have specially-trained officers supporting the family at this time." Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez are also in the frame to be named world football's best player. Ballon d'Or holder Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid and Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who have won the past seven awards between them, lead the nominees. Wales and Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is the only British player named. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger are on the 10-man Coach of the Year shortlist. They will contend with Barcelona manager Luis Enrique, who guided his side to the treble of Champions League, Spanish league and Spanish cup titles, and Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola. There are few surprise names on the players' list, with QPR midfielder Massimo Luongo and Bournemouth winger Christian Atsu, who both reportedly made the 59-man longlist, overlooked. Midfielders and forwards vastly outnumber goalkeepers and defenders, with Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer and Barcelona centre-back Javier Mascherano the only players shortlisted from their respective positions. Spain's La Liga leads the way, with 11 players nominated, while Germany's Bundesliga has six nominees. There are two from Italy's Serie A and one - Paris St-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic - from France's Ligue 1. Players who have transferred during the past year are recognised for their contribution to both clubs. Fifa Ballon d'Or shortlist: Sergio Aguero (Argentina/Manchester City), Gareth Bale (Wales/Real Madrid), Karim Benzema (France/Real Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Real Madrid), Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium/VfL Wolfsburg/Manchester City), Eden Hazard (Belgium/Chelsea), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden/Paris Saint-Germain), Andres Iniesta (Spain/FC Barcelona), Toni Kroos (Germany/Real Madrid), Robert Lewandowski (Poland/FC Bayern Munich), Javier Mascherano (Argentina/FC Barcelona), Lionel Messi (Argentina/FC Barcelona), Thomas Muller (Germany/FC Bayern Munich), Manuel Neuer (Germany/FC Bayern Munich), Neymar (Brazil/FC Barcelona), Paul Pogba (France/Juventus), Ivan Rakitic (Croatia/FC Barcelona), Arjen Robben (Netherlands/FC Bayern Munich), James Rodriguez (Colombia/Real Madrid), Alexis Sanchez (Chile/Arsenal), Luis Suarez (Uruguay/FC Barcelona), Yaya Toure (Côte d'Ivoire/Manchester City), Arturo Vidal (Chile/Juventus/FC Bayern Munich). Fifa World Coach of the Year for Men's Football shortlist: Massimiliano Allegri (Italy/Juventus), Carlo Ancelotti (Italy/Real Madrid), Laurent Blanc (France/Paris Saint-Germain), Unai Emery (Spain/Sevilla FC), Pep Guardiola (Spain/FC Bayern Munich), Luis Enrique (Spain/FC Barcelona), Jose Mourinho (Portugal/Chelsea), Jorge Sampaoli (Argentina/Chilean national team), Diego Simeone (Argentina/Atletico Madrid), Arsene Wenger (France/Arsenal). Lawyers in the case said the boy's parents had sought a second opinion. In October, a High Court judge, heard the Polish boy had vanished and made a written order stating efforts should be made to find him. Mr Justice Mostyn granted an application, made by an NHS trust, allowing doctors to perform surgery. He had urged the boy's parents to co-operate with doctors. Doctors said the boy's parents preferred to treat their son with "Chinese medicine". Specialists said the boy would die a "brutal and agonising death" within six months to a year if a tumour was not removed "very soon". He was told there was evidence the boy, who cannot be identified, had left his home in England with his mother and that his father had boarded a ferry bound for France. At the latest hearing, lawyers told another judge at the Family Division of the High Court in London that the boy had been traced to an address in Poland. They told Mr Justice MacDonald that the boy was with his mother and that his father had returned to England. Lawyers said the plan was for mother and child to return to England by Christmas. Mr Justice MacDonald heard submissions from lawyers representing the hospital, the boy's father and from Cafcass - a Government-funded social work organisation which reviews local authority plans for children. The case is due to be re-analysed at a further family court hearing in January. The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist and 2014 bronze medal winner faces Brett Fidoe in Manchester on the undercard of Anthony Crolla's rematch with Jorge Linares. "I'm excited," said McGoldrick, 25. "Ever since I started boxing I've been looking forward to this. "Hopefully I add a bit to the card. I'm excited to get my pro career started." McGoldrick is looking to follow in the footsteps of his stablemates such as world champion Lee Selby and British champions Andrew Selby and Gary Buckland. "I've been boxing since I was 10 years of age so I've been an amateur for 15 years and I have done pretty much everything possible apart from the Olympic Games," he said. "I had close to 200 amateur fights and turning pro is something I've always wanted to do. "I have been with St Joseph's [in Newport] since the age of 10 and I'm still with them now as a professional. "They've trained a lot of professionals over the years, they know me inside out, they know what works and what doesn't work for me and what I need to work on." McGoldrick is targeting the top titles in the pro ranks and believes an association with Matchroom and Eddie Hearn enhances that prospect. "I want to go all the way to the top. I'm not in the pro ranks just have a few fights to say I've been a professional boxer," added McGoldrick. "I have come in to really go for the big titles and challenge for the big things and hopefully do myself justice and come away from the sport in many years' time with significant titles. "Matchroom and Eddie Hearn speak for themselves. I've seen all the GB boxers turn professional with Matchroom and I have seen what a good job Eddie has done."

The BBC took the opportunity to visit the company to see what it takes to get the job. Researchers believe that the bird's underwater prowess may have cost it its ability to fly. By looking at seabirds closely related to the penguin, scientists confirmed that a wing that is good for flying cannot also be good for diving and swimming. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Professor John Speakman, from the University of Aberdeen and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "Like many people, I've always been interested in penguins, and seeing them do these phenomenal marches across the ice, I've often thought: 'Why don't they just fly?' "And it's really great to be involved in the group of people that have solved it." Stubby wings There are several long-standing theories about why birds cannot fly. One idea is that some species became flightless because of a lack of predators on the ground. "The other idea is a 'biomechanical hypothesis'," explained Prof Speakman. "When the bird is flying and diving it has to use its wings to do two different things. The biomechanical hypothesis is that you cannot build a wing that is good at doing both." To investigate, the researchers looked at a close relative of the penguin: the guillemot. This black-and-white seabird not only looks a lot like a penguin, it can swim nearly as well. But unlike the penguin it can fly. The researchers analysed the amount of energy that the bird was using. They found that it could dive with relative ease, while flying was much more tiring for the guillemot. Prof Speakman said: "The energy costs are very very high. These birds have these very short wings and they have to beat them at an incredible speed to stay in the air. It is exhausting for them." The researchers believe that the guillemot is using so much energy, it is only just able to keep itself aloft. They said that the bird represented a tipping point between seabirds that are able to both fly and swim, and those that are flightless. In the past, they suggest, the penguin would have faced an evolutionary trade off between staying airborne or having agility beneath the waves. Prof Speakman explained: "Basically the hypothesis is that as the wings became more and more efficient for them to dive, they became less and less efficient for them to fly. "At some point it became so 'expensive' for them to fly, that it was better to give up flying altogether and make the wings into small flippers." In atrocious conditions, Dedryck Boyata's slack pass paved the way for Ola Kamara to secure an early lead. That was followed by a second from Vegard Forren on 18 minutes, which put the Norwegian champions in command. Kris Commons reduced the deficit after the break, but Mohamed Elyounoussi soon restored the two-goal advantage. It means Celtic trail Molde by five points before their return match at Celtic Park in two weeks' time. They and Ajax sit on two points, two behind Fenerbahce following the Turks' 1-0 victory over the Dutch in Istanbul. Celtic have been undone by slack defensive play and questionable goalkeeping on more than one occasion this season and both were in evidence again. Boyata gifted possession to Elyounoussi for the first goal and Craig Gordon looked cumbersome as he tried to keep out Kamara's near-post shot. Molde centre-half Joona Toivio was allowed to cross for his defensive partner Forren to volley unchallenged past Gordon for the second. And it was too easy for Molde to open up the visitors' defence for a third when Celtic should have been revitalised having just got back into the game. Molde could have added more in the second half as Kamara - Deila's former protege at Stromsgodset - twice passed up excellent opportunities and Gordon saved well from Etzaz Hussain. Nir Bitton almost made the scoreline more respectable with a late shot off the bar, but that would have been an unfair reflection of Molde's dominance. Ronny Deila had played down the significance of his own return to Norway, stressing merely his constant desire to win football matches. Yet it was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who was able to celebrate a winning return to Norwegian football. The reappointed Molde head coach - a local hero already in these parts - may not have been back in charge long enough to take great credit for any tactical masterstrokes, but his side outfought and out-thought Celtic. After a tentative start, they bossed the game and have given themselves an excellent chance of progressing in the competition. There was tension in the visiting ranks as Commons was taken off despite being one of the few Celtic players to offer a threat. The forward directed his anger at the Celtic bench as the supporters sang his name. It is one of a number of issues that need to be addressed if Celtic are to turn this European campaign around.

The British number one, 24, lost 4-6 6-2 7-5 to Croatia's Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, 33, in round two of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco. Fourth seed Konta had two break points in the 11th game of the final set but failed to take them. Fellow Briton Aljaz Bedene is out of the men's event after he lost 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 to Dutchman Robin Haase. Details of the crash are unclear, but it seems Nasr hit the back of Wolff's car on the entry to Turn Five at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. On Hamilton, a Mercedes spokesman said he had a "high fever" in the morning and "didn't feel comfortable." The 30-year-old world champion stopped after completing just 11 laps. Mercedes reserve driver Pascal Wehrlein replaced Hamilton as the Briton's team-mate Nico Rosberg is nursing a sore nerve in his neck, which doctors have told him to rest. Rosberg is scheduled to drive the car on Friday, but his participation is in doubt because of his condition. Mercedes initially said they chose Wehrlein rather than Hamilton's team-mate Nico Rosberg because they had a heavy programme and that if Hamilton did not recover it would be unrealistic to expect one driver to do all four days of the test. However, the team has now confirmed that Rosberg has inflamed a nerve in his neck which needs resting and his own participation on Friday is also in doubt. Hamilton had been fifth fastest up to that point as the teams continue their preparations for the start of the season in Melbourne, Australia, next month. Sauber's Brazilian rookie Nasr set the pace during the morning, with a lap of one minute 27.307, 0.056 seconds quicker than Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. McLaren-Honda, who had a troubled first test in Jerez, again hit problems, despite a promising start. Jenson Button completed 21 laps - nearly a third of the entire running the team managed at the first pre-season test earlier this month - and ended the morning sixth fastest, just 0.875 secs off the pace. Button had been second fastest to Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen after two and a half hours. However, his running was then brought to an end after Honda discovered a faulty seal on the motor-generator unit recovering energy from the rear axle. Honda said it would need to redesign the component to prevent the problem recurring and that the new part would not be ready until Saturday. So although Fernando Alonso will have an engine for Friday, the same problem as affected Button may well recur then. All the teams confirmed for entry in this year's championship are in Barcelona. Force India - for whom Mercedes' Wehrlein had been invited to drive for the two days of testing - are running a 2014 car. Force India race driver Sergio Perez will take over the car for the afternoon, although they were awaiting final confirmation. The team's 2015 car is not ready to take part in this test, but they say it will be completed in time to run in at least some of the final test next week. Marussia failed to take part in the last three races of 2014 after collapsing with financial problems, but are still planning to come out of administration in the near future. 1 Felipe Nasr (Brz) Sauber-Ferrari one minute 27.307 seconds 2 Daniel Ricciardo (Aus) Red Bull-Renault 1:27.363 3 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Lotus-Mercedes 1:27.510 4 Max Verstappen (Ned) Toro Rosso-Renault 1:27.951 5 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari 1:28.064 6 Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Honda 1:28.182 7 Pascal Wehrlein (Ger) Force India-Mercedes 1:28.329 8 Wehrlein Mercedes 1:29.286 9 Susie Wolff (GB) Williams-Mercedes 1:29.400 10 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes 1:30.429 Established state-run and commercial TV broadcast nationally, and hundreds of thousands of viewers subscribe to satellite and cable.

There are concerns that the bill does not allow journalists to use the public interest as grounds for revealing classified information.

John Thomson, who is responsible for the review, said: "There's one car park that has never had anybody park in it." The council has identified 20 car parks as being "of non-strategic importance... or of low viability". Five of these car parks are in Bradford-on-Avon, four are in Warminster, there are two in Devizes, two in Trowbridge, two in Westbury, and one each in Amesbury, Chippenham, Malmesbury, Marlborough and Melksham. Cabinet member Mr Thomson said suggestions for the car parks, gained via a three-month public consultation, included having them grassed over, leased to town or parish councils or sold for other uses. The council is expected to publish its report next month and has declined to comment further. BBC Wiltshire breakfast show presenter Ben Prater has been searching for the one unused car park and has so far eliminated 11 - in Amesbury, Bradford-on-Avon, Warminster and Malmesbury - with the help of listeners. Wiltshire Council receives £7.5m a year from parking fees, and invests a £2.75m surplus into transport and highways schemes. In 2011 the authority increased parking costs as part of wider changes, but in October admitted mistakes had been made and said a county-wide review would be carried out. Goodfellas actor Frankie Sivero has filed a lawsuit against Fox claiming The Simpsons character of Louie, a member of Springfield's Mafia, was based on his portrayal of Frankie Carbone in Martin Scorsese's film. That's according to legal documents made public on the Deadline website, a showbiz site in the US. It's 23 years since Louie made his debut opposite the cartoon's mob boss Fat Tony. But now Mr Sivero wants $250m for the alleged infringement. He claims he was "the originator of the idea and character" of Louie, as he based Goodfellas' Frankie Carbone on his own personality. In the documents he claims at that time, in 1989, he was living in the same apartment complex as James L Brooks, when "they saw each other almost every day". He also says he was promised a film and a part in the future of The Simpsons and claims he lost money because he was "type-cast" as a result of Louie. Like Frankie, Louie has black curly hair, but Dan Castellenata, who voiced the character, said he based the voice on Joe Pesci, also in Goodfellas. It's not the first time this year Sivero has taken legal action after claiming his rights to the Goodfellas character were infringed. In July he filed a suit against a Californian sandwich shop Deli Belly because they named an Italian-style sandwich "the Frankie Sivero" after he ate there. As Goodfellas' Jimmy Two Times would say "somebody get the papers, the papers". Fox Entertainment, which makes The Simpsons, has so far not commented on the claim. Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube The 24-year-old back-rower, who signed from London Broncos in 2014 and went on to be an ever present last season, also has an option for a third year. "George has been the model of consistency during his time at the club," said head coach Ian Watson. "He was a key part of our squad last season and held the pack together alongside Craig Kopczak." Failure to reach a compromise would have meant the executive's so called "fantasy budget" would have run out at some point before the start of the next financial year. Before we had reached that point, the key players would probably have walked away and Westminster would have had to reinstate direct rule. Fans of this deal may point out that, for all Stormont's drawbacks, a recent BBC RTÉ survey showed continued devolution to be the most favoured option in the short to medium term - backed by 42% of those interviewed in Northern Ireland. It also claimed the agreement has secured an extra £500m for the Stormont budget. However, critics insist the "Fresh Start" is - in the words of the Alliance party - a false dawn. The most obvious weakness is the failure to agree how to deal with the legacy of the Troubles. There is no sign of any end to the deadlock between the government and republicans about whether "national security" is a valid reason to withhold the disclosure of sensitive information to victims' families. On paramilitarism, the DUP has settled for less than the old Independent Monitoring Commission. After the murder of former IRA member Kevin McGuigan, DUP politicians demanded Sinn Féin's exclusion from the executive. But the new four strong international body won't - unlike the old IMC - have the power to recommend any similar sanction. That's why the TUV says the deal has "swept murder under the carpet". On welfare reform, Sinn Féin may have hoped the UK's voters would elect a Labour led government back in May, which might have offered them a better deal. Instead, they got the Conservatives and George Osborne's determination to lower the benefit cap and cut tax credits. The new mitigation package of £585m will be funded from the Stormont budget. On the face of it, the package looks £20m more generous than the one agreed last Christmas. But it is being divided between those impacted by tax credits, who will get £240m in payments and those hit by the welfare changes, who will have to make do with £345m - less than was on the table for the same group last year. This two party two government deal is bound to face criticism from those who did not negotiate it. But the DUP and Sinn Féin have the votes necessary to push it through. When voters cast their verdicts next May, will they be most struck by the image of the First and Deputy First Ministers now pledging to work together? Or will the chaos and deadlock of the last ten weeks be foremost in their minds? The European Commission's authorisation process is controversial. The latest approvals were condemned by Green MEPs and Greenpeace environmentalists. Fifty-eight GM crops are already used in food and animal feed in the EU. But cultivation is restricted to just one - a type of maize. US biotech firms want the rules eased. The 17 new crop authorisations consist of: soybean (five types), cotton (seven types), maize (three types) and oilseed rape (two types). Cottonseed meal and oil is used in animal feed. GM crops are used widely in the US, South America and Asia, but many Europeans are wary of their impact on health and wildlife. In the EU, 60% of animal feed is imported. The protein-rich soya in that feed comes overwhelmingly from countries that plant GM soybeans - Brazil, Argentina and the US, the Commission says. GM in food is one of the toughest issues at the EU-US talks on a free trade deal, known as TTIP. Green MEP Bart Staes, a food safety specialist, accused the Commission of ignoring widespread opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) among EU citizens. "This gung-ho approach to GMOs also has to be seen in the context of the EU-US TTIP negotiations and the long-running US campaign to force their GMOs on to the EU market," he said. On Wednesday, the Commission proposed a new law allowing individual EU countries to restrict or ban imported GM crops, even if those crops have been authorised EU-wide by the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa). A country would have to justify its opt-out from a certain GM crop type, stating specific national or regional grounds for the restriction. Social or environmental impact could be cited as justification for a national ban, rather than purely health concerns. US Trade Representative Michael Froman said the proposal left the US "very disappointed" and he called it "hard to reconcile with the EU's international obligations". The only GM crop cultivated in the EU - Monsanto's maize variety MON 810 - is banned in several EU countries. Spain is by far the biggest grower of MON 810 in Europe, but the crop accounts for just 1.56% of the EU's total maize-growing area. The UK government is among several countries, including Spain and Sweden, calling for the EU's GM rules to be eased. However, there is strong opposition in many other countries, including in Austria, France and Germany. The assembly said it would pursue those it accuses of supporting US economic sanctions against the country. Washington approved the measures last week in response to what it called the "dictatorship" of President Nicolás Maduro. President Maduro has accused the US of trying cripple Venezuela's economy amid an ongoing economic crisis. On Tuesday, members of the assembly unanimously approved a decree calling for the investigation of "traitors" who supported the economic sanctions, but did not name specific people. The constituent assembly, which is made up of government supporters, assumed the powers of the opposition-led parliament earlier this month. Former Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez, who runs the assembly, said the body would urge the chief prosecutor to begin investigations immediately, Reuters reported. The country's former chief prosecutor and government critic, Luisa Ortega, was replaced by the constituent assembly on its first day in office. She fled the country, and was replaced by a supporter of President Maduro, Tarek William Saab. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on 25 August to ban trade in Venezuelan debt or the sale of bonds from its state oil company. His reasons included "serious abuses of human rights" as well as the creation of the "illegitimate" constituent assembly, which the US accuses of usurping the democratically elected parliament.

At an emergency session in Geneva, director-general Margaret Chan said Ebola had taught the world and the WHO how they must act in the future. She said the corner had been turned on infections but warned over complacency. More than 8,500 people have died in the outbreak, the vast majority in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. Dr Chan said: "This was West Africa's first experience with the virus and it delivered some horrific shocks and surprises. "The world, including WHO, was too slow to see what was unfolding before us. Ebola is a tragedy that has taught the world, including WHO, many lessons about how to prevent similar events in the future." Dr Chan said that although disease outbreaks would continue to deliver shocks, "never again should the world be caught by surprise, unprepared". The reforms announced included a "dedicated contingency fund to support rapid responses to outbreaks and emergencies". There would also be improvements in international co-ordination and greater support for countries that needed to respond quickly to emergencies. This would also require vaccines and drugs to be brought to the market more speedily. Liberia announced on Friday that it was down to just five confirmed cases - there were 500 a week in September. Guinea and Sierra Leone have both also experienced falls in infection rates. Dr Chan said the worst-case scenario had been avoided, but warned: "We must maintain the momentum and guard against complacency and donor fatigue." WHO figures show 21,724 reported cases of Ebola in the outbreak , with 8,641 deaths.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set out plans for reform, admitting that it was too slow to respond to the deadly Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

The firm forecasts operating income of 320bn yen ($2.7bn; £1.7bn) for the year ending in March 2016, which was below analyst estimates for 401.6bn yen. It also plans to restore a shareholder dividend after scrapping it last year and will pay out 10 yen per share. Shares of Sony fell by 1.3% in Tokyo ahead of the earnings release. It has been a tough year for Sony, which saw its movie division and gaming network targeted by hackers earlier this year. The firm said the cyber attacks cost it $41m in "investigation and remediation expenses". Sony has cut its profit outlook 15 times in seven years, prompting chief executive Kazuo Hirai to undertake a broad restructuring. Mr Hirai sold off its personal computer business and spun off its loss-making television division into a separate structure. The company's smartphone division is also still struggling to compete against Samsung, Apple and cheaper Chinese producers such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Restructuring charges are expected to be approximately 35bn yen for the new fiscal year, the company said in a statement.

Japanese consumer electronics giant Sony expects operating profit to more than quadruple because of higher gadget sales and cost-cutting measures.

25 October 2015 Last updated at 09:49 GMT It was one of the strongest storms ever recorded when it made landfall on Friday night, with wind speeds of around 165 miles per hour. By Saturday afternoon it had weakened and was downgraded to a Category One tropical storm. Martin reports on the clean-up operation in Mexico after Hurricane Patricia. Police are treated the incident, in a flat in Renfrew, as attempted murder. Officers were called to the flat in Houston Street at about 19:20 on Wednesday. Both suspects were white with one taller than 6ft and thin and the other of average height and build. They may have been in the company of a woman, also white, and aged between 25 and 30. Det Insp Alexander Nelson, of Police Scotland, said: "Whilst we don't know the motive for the attack we do not believe it to be random. "We are gathering CCTV images to review in the hope that it provides us with further details on the suspects. "I am appealing to people in the local area to think about whether they saw or heard something - did you see the two men, did you see the woman? "Any small piece of information could prove vital in helping us locate the people responsible for this attack." The 23-year-old woman was seriously sexually assaulted in Love Lane, Pontefract in the early hours of Friday, West Yorkshire Police said. Officers said she attended the hospital after the attack which took place between 03:30 BST and 04:00 BST Det Insp Tim Hunt, of Wakefield CID, said specially trained officers were supporting the woman. Anyone with information is asked to contact police. A statement issued late on Thursday contradicted comments made by a senior PLO official visiting Damascus. Ahmed Majdalani said 14 Palestinian factions wanted a joint operation with the Syrian army to expel Islamic State (IS) militants from the camp. But the PLO statement said it refused to be drawn into the conflict in Syria. IS has almost completely overrun Yarmouk, where about 18,000 people have been besieged for more than two years, since launching an assault on 1 April. On Thursday afternoon, Mr Majdalani announced that Palestinian factions had agreed that there could be no political solution to the situation in Yarmouk. He said they would set up a joint operations room with the Syrian government to oversee a co-ordinated, step-by-step military solution aimed at driving IS militants out while trying to safeguard the lives and property of civilians trapped there. Hours later, the PLO issued a statement from its headquarters in Ramallah stressing that it refused to "drag our people and their camps into the hellish conflict that is taking place in Syria". "We refuse to be drawn into any armed campaign, whatever its nature or cover, and we call for resorting to other means to spare the blood of our people and prevent more destruction and displacement for our people of the camp," it said. Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis, the main Palestinian militia fighting IS in Yarmouk, has been co-operating with Syrian rebels battling both government forces and Islamic State. The United Nations has said it is extremely concerned about the safety of Palestinians and Syrians trapped inside the camp, who have suffered chronic food shortages and limited medical care because of a government siege to force rebels sheltering there to surrender. "In the horror that is Syria, the Yarmouk refugee camp is the deepest circle of hell," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Thursday. "A refugee camp is beginning to resemble a death camp. The residents of Yarmouk - including 3,500 children - are being turned into human shields." He warned that any "massive assault on the camp and all civilians would be yet one more outrageous war crime for which those responsible must be held accountable". "We simply cannot stand by and watch a massacre unfold," he added. Gomis, who collapsed three times in 2009, appeared to fall down immediately after Spurs took a sixth-minute lead. The Frenchman, 29, left the pitch on a stretcher and was taken to hospital. Swansea confirmed Gomis was back in training but it is not yet known if he will be fit to face Liverpool at Liberty Stadium on Monday. After the incident at White Hart Lane, Gomis tweeted: "I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father's health that requires me to go back and forth to France." Team-mate Neil Taylor described the Frenchman's collapse and on-field treatment as "frightening". Wales international Sam Ricketts said the incident brought back memories of the day in 2012 when his then Bolton team-mate Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest at the same ground. Respects were paid at sporting events all around the world. What's happening in Paris? At David Beckham's Unicef charity match in Manchester, the crowd stood silent to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. Former England Captain, David Beckham who was playing in the match, said it was the right thing to do. Pioneering research in the field of cognitive neuroimaging has revealed how brains process what we see. The work has been led by Prof Philippe Schyns, the head of Glasgow's school of psychology, with more than a little help from Voltaire and Salvador Dali. How Dali's mind worked is a matter of continuing conjecture. But one of his works has helped unlock how our minds work. Or more precisely, how our brains see. Prof Schyns, who is also Director of the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology, explains: "Our main interest was to study how the brain works as an information processing machine. "Typically we observe brain signals but it is quite difficult to know what they do. "Do they code information from the visual world - do they not? If so, how? "Do they send information from one region of the brain to another region of the brain? If so, how?" Which is where Salvador Dali comes in. And for that matter Voltaire. In 1940, Dali completed his painting "Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire". And there at the heart of the image is Voltaire. Or is it? His bust is what some people see. Others see Voltaire's "eyes" as the heads of two figures - usually a pair of nuns. This visual ambiguity was of course Dali's intention. But by asking test subjects which image they saw - or neither - the researchers were able to map how the brains processed the information. As expected, the right side of the brain handled the left side of the image and vice versa. But Prof Schyns says the research revealed much greater detail: "We found very early on, after around 100 milliseconds of processing post-stimulus, that the brain processes very specific features such as the left eye, the right eye, the corner of the nose, the corner of the mouth. "But then subsequent to this, at about 200 milliseconds {...} we also found that the brain transfers features across the two hemispheres in order to construct a full representation of the stimulus." Tracking how our eyes communicate with our brain, and then how our brain sends signals to itself, is the result of 15 years' work by Prof Schyns and his colleagues. It has been funded by backers including the Wellcome Trust. And there's a lot more. A compelling analogy is with Bletchley Park. The wartime allies were able to monitor Nazi radio traffic, but it took the work of Alan Turing and his colleagues at Bletchley to crack the code and find out what the signals actually meant. The 21st Century Glasgow researchers have similarly cracked the brain's code, revealing the algorithms the brain uses to send and process information. So is Glasgow University the Bletchley Park for the brain? It's an analogy with which Prof Schyns is comfortable. "Prior to this research people would know that two brain regions communicate - as the allies knew the Germans were doing in World War Two. "But prior to the enigma of Turing people did not know what they were communicating about." Now with the brain, as with the Enigma codes, we are able to track with precision where, when and how information is processed. Prof Schyns says there are many possible applications: in fundamental brain research, in dealing with conditions like stroke in which brain processes are disrupted, and perhaps in helping new generations of robots see the world in the same way we do. Inevitably, though, more research is required. We may have cracked the code and tracked the images to the area where they are processed. But how do our brains then decide whether that is Voltaire - or two nuns? We don't yet know. Indeed some people think one of the nuns has a beard, so maybe they're two Dutch merchants. Whatever you think, it's your decision. But science is getting closer than ever to working out how you made it. The 22-year-old made his first-team debut for Wigan in December.

Arthritis Care NI said that, at one stage, NI people had to wait three years for certain drugs, compared to three weeks in England. This has improved, but there is still a way to go, the group said. The charity has published research that suggests many sufferers do not talk about their daily struggles. Steve McBride, Arthritis Care's policy adviser for Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: "We need to make sure the funding is provided to enable people to get the benefits of these very powerful and effective modern drugs. "We also need to get people to understand the full complexity of the condition and to support things like the self management training we do, which helps people deal with the day-to-day management of arthritis." His music has been a regular fixture on screens big and small over the past five decades. But across the island of Ireland, Last is best remembered by many for one piece of instantly recognisable music - the theme song from The Sunday Game. Known as Jagerlatein (Hunters' Yarns), the piece's distinctive blasts of brass and quickstep marching beat have been introducing RTÉ's flagship Gaelic games programme since it began in 1979. For GAA fans it's considered the sound of the summer - synonymous with car journeys to far-flung stadiums, ham sandwiches on the terraces and championships won and lost on the turf of Croke Park. It's also an insidious, brain-invading earworm, likely to have you humming the tune all week after hearing even the briefest note or two on any given Sunday. The song is so popular that when RTÉ replaced it in 2004 as part of a "remodernisation of The Sunday Game", it caused uproar. The network reinstated it four years later. Speaking at the time, Paul Byrnes, the programme's editor, said RTÉ had been "inundated with requests from the public" to bring back the theme. "Travelling the length and breadth of the country with The Sunday Game over the last few years, the replacement of the theme tune was always much talked about and lamented," he said. Michael Lyster, the programme's presenter, told RTÉ's The Late Late Show in April that "people just demanded that it be brought back again and rightly so as well". There are some drawbacks to being at close proximity to such a catchy slice of Irish television history though. "At the end of the season of The Sunday Game, you park the whole thing for a couple of months and you get a break from it all," Lyster told the Late Late Show. "This is good because at the start of the season, it's all very fresh again and you're ready to go. "But you hear the Sunday Game music so often and it's not just on the Sundays, but obviously in the office there's somebody rehearsing a piece of footage - and over and over and over again and you get to the point where you think to yourself, if I hear this one more time, I'm actually going to go scatty." However, Michael Lyster will have to forgive people if they break out a chanted, hummed or whistled version of Jagerlatein in memory of the man who inadvertently gave Gaelic games its iconic theme.

Tirupathi Karthik is the chief executive of the Singapore based specialist IT company Napier Healthcare. He explains some of the challenges - possible solutions. Watch more reports on Asia Business Report's website The 29-year-old joined the English Championship club in 2013 after leaving Motherwell. But he made the last of 14 appearances this season in October. Humphrey told Hibs' website: "They're a big club and it will be great to play at Easter Road again. They are pushing hard for promotion and I'll hopefully be able to help us achieve that." The winger, who has 12 caps for Jamaica, spent four years at Fir Park after joining Motherwell from Shrewsbury Town. Humphrey helped Preston win promotion from League One via the play-offs in 2015 but has struggled for game time this season, making only seven starts. He made 134 appearances for Preston, but the English club announced on their website that: "Chris Humphrey has agreed a mutual cancellation of his contract with immediate effect." Following Saturday's 2-1 win that took Hibs back to the top of the Scottish Championship, manager Neil Lennon said: "Hopefully he'll be in on Monday." Lennon did not expect to make many more changes to his squad during January. "Not many unless there's a bit of to and fro-ing out of the squad to bring players in" he said. Lennon pointed out that midfielders John McGinn and Fraser Fyvie, plus goalkeeper Ofir Marciano, were close to returning from injury to bring his squad back to full strength. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare departs from the military shooter's roots, taking place in a near-future, sci-fi setting. Fans have reacted by rating the video negatively, expressing more than 1.5 million dislikes in eight days. Overall, the trailer has amassed more than 16 million views. The game's dislikes make it the most disliked trailer or promotional video on the site, and the worst-rated gaming video in the site's history. However, it still trails behind Justin Bieber's music video, Baby, with 6.1 million dislikes, and Rebecca Black's Friday, which has more than two million. Call of Duty is one of the world's best-selling game franchises, selling millions of copies of each annual instalment. The game's publisher, Activision, said the reaction was down to the passion of gamers for the franchise - and said the company had seen such a reaction before. "The fact is, while it's very early, pre-orders are off to a very strong start," CEO Eric Hirshberg said in an earnings call with investors. "Views of the reveal trailer that you referred to are up and, in fact, the number of likes per view on the Infinite Warfare reveal trailer are also the highest we've ever seen. "We've seen this in the franchise before. The reveal trailer for Black Ops II, which took the franchise into the future for the first time, had the most dislikes of any reveal trailer we had ever made at that time. And that, of course, went on to become our most successful game ever," he said. "What we know for sure is that if we always just did what worked in the past and never took any creative risks, we wouldn't have a franchise. The day to worry is the day we stop trying new things." The company is also facing a backlash from some fans over an updated version of their 2007 classic, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The hugely successful title is being remastered with updated graphics for modern consoles, but will only be available to those who purchase the new Infinite Warfare game. Call of Duty's sales have been in slow decline in recent years, although the most recent instalment, Black Ops 3, reversed that trend in 2015. Activision is attempting to keep the franchise "fresh" with a new setting, said Piers Harding-Rolls, Head of Games Research at IHS Technology. "Many veteran players are mostly interested in the multiplayer aspects of the game and can be considered 'core gamers', but more mainstream console gamers often get access to the latest version of the game as a Christmas gift," he said. "If anything, the popularity of the respective trailers is a response to what is put in front of them - the trailer, the way it is edited and the music. "After all, what people are liking/disliking is a short video clip and not the actual gameplay quality, which is central to how a game sells over its lifecycle." Labour's deputy leader has been accused of inappropriately intervening in the case. Lord Brittan died in January without being told he had been cleared of the allegation. Mr Watson will be questioned over his actions by MPs next week. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) found in July 2013 that there was not enough evidence for a prosecution over the claim Lord Brittan had raped a 19-year-old female student in 1967. In a letter to Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders in April 2014, Mr Watson complained that the "investigation into the serious allegations in this case was dropped before the suspect was interviewed". He also said he was "driven to the unpalatable conclusion that the identity of the alleged perpetrator - Leon Brittan - may in some way have influenced treatment of the case". The letter was received by the CPS in late April and details of it were widely reported in the media in the middle of May. The letter was passed to the police on 2 June, two days after they had interviewed Lord Brittan. The CPS has released a statement saying it did not ask the police to reopen the investigation as a result of Mr Watson's letter. It said it had forwarded Mr Watson's letter to the Metropolitan Police, saying this was normal practice, and that Lord Brittan had already been interviewed by the Met by the time it received the letter. "It is for the police to decide whether or not, or how, they will investigate an allegation that is referred to them," the statement added. "The CPS has no power to direct them and did not seek to do so." The Home Affairs committee, chaired by Labour MP Keith Vaz, has asked Mr Watson to "provide clarification on a number of issues" on 21 October. The committee, has also asked representatives of the Metropolitan Police to appear. On Monday, Mr Watson was urged to apologise for his pursuit of the Lord Brittan allegations, by Tory MP Sir Nicholas Soames, who said he had "vilely traduced" the former home secretary. In response, the Labour MP told the Commons he had been right to raise the issue. More than 20,000 people, most of them young, took to the streets of Bucharest, calling for him to go, days after the deaths of 32 people at a Halloween party at the Colectiv nightclub. The demonstration was one of the largest seen in Bucharest since the fall of communism in 1989. "Down with Ponta", "Down with Oprea", "Down with Piedone", they chanted, singling out the prime minister, interior minister and a local mayor for blame. Interior Minister Gabriel Oprea had been under pressure over the recent accidental death of a police outrider on duty in the minister's official motorcade. The mayor of the Bucharest district where the fire took place, Cristian "Piedone" Popescu, was accused of having illegally approved the opening of the club. The prime minister and Mr Oprea were gone by midday and were followed shortly afterwards by a contrite Mr Popescu, who had previously said he felt no responsibility for the Colectiv Club tragedy. The protesters shouted slogans such as "Corruption kills", alleging that the Colectiv club - a disused factory used as a nightclub venue - could only function because the owners had bribed the authorities. Mr Popescu has denied the allegations. He had intended to run for mayor of Bucharest and replace Sorin Oprescu, the current mayor who is himself under investigation for alleged corruption. The government on Tuesday adopted two emergency ordinances boosting the powers of the Emergency Situations Inspectorate (ISU) enabling it to close down clubs and restaurants which do not comply with fire regulations. "We have increased fines from 2,500 lei (£400; $610), which was really nothing for a club, to between 30,000 and 100,000 lei. We have also made it a criminal offence," the deputy interior minister in charge of emergency situations, Raed Arafat, told the BBC. "Do you want my honest opinion? It will only increase bribes," one protester said of the new measures. More than 100 people are still in hospital, some of them in a critical condition, after suffering burns and poisoning in the 30 October fire. Doctors fear the toll could rise. A young woman who lost two friends in the blaze was clearly angry. "We, the young, are the future. That is what we were told, that is how we were educated. And when something very serious like that happens and young people die, we see it as an attack against us. Things must change and change must come from those who govern us," she said. President Klaus Iohannis, a political opponent of the prime minister, expressed his support for the demonstrators on Facebook, declaring himself "impressed". "The next step has to belong to the politicians who cannot ignore the sentiment of revolt expressed by the people," he said in a brief statement. But many of the young people who backed Mr Iohannis in his race against Victor Ponta for president a year ago have been unimpressed with their head of state; a man they see as stand-offish and not forceful enough in his criticism of the government. The demonstration brought back memories of other large-scale protests in the capital which also had significant repercussions. A big protest in 1989 brought about the fall of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. And a year later demonstrators targeted then President Ion Iliescu, whom they accused of perpetuating the Communist regime. "When I see these children demonstrating, many of them weren't born 25 years ago, I feel there is hope for the rebirth of this nation," one protest veteran said. Hundreds have been stolen in bulk from orchards, with thieves using rakes to drag fruit straight from the tree before selling them on. The fruits themselves are immature this time of year so consumers buying them will have a "very bad eating experience", an industry body said. In New Zealand avocado sell for between NZ$4-6 (US$2.8-$4.2; £2-£3) each. The CEO of New Zealand Avocado, Jen Scoular, described the thefts as small-scale and opportunistic. "In New Zealand we don't import avocados, and we've had a moderate supply of avocados in the last season and a big increase in demand," she told the BBC's Newshour programme. "People want them, people know they need them in recipes, so the thieves are thinking maybe we'll be able to get a good price for these avocados." The thefts have been happening at night, and local police said although they were happening over a wide area they had just one suspect in mind. "Anything that is going to make them money, they are going to hook on to," Sergeant Aaron Fraser told Stuff.co.nz. GB have one win from three in the pool, and rise to second, with the top four sides reaching the next stage. The tournament's top three teams will be guaranteed a place at Rio 2016. Sam Ward, Nick Catlin and Mark Gleghorne all scored twice against China with Alastair Brogdon and Ashley Jackson scoring once each. Britain are one point behind Malaysia, who they play in their next game. GB drew both their earlier games, 2-2 against Belgium and Ireland. Jamie Murphy, 18, was detained at the Sky Garden nightclub at Kuta beach in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The Perth tourist would be held at Denpasar police station for questioning and blood and urine testing, local authorities said. Mr Murphy denied any wrongdoing in a video taken after he was detained. "It's not mine, I haven't taken it, what are you doing, it's not mine," he said in footage aired by Australia's Nine News. "I don't take this [expletive], I only drink." The footage showed a small bag containing a powder-like substance on the floor beside a mobile phone and a hotel key. Thousands of young Australians are in Bali to celebrate their high school graduation in a tradition known as "schoolies". It is understood that Mr Murphy graduated last year and arrived in Bali with two friends on Sunday. The teenager's parents, Brendan and Anna Murphy, left Perth Airport on Wednesday morning to join their son in Bali. Asked by reporters if they had anything to say, Brendan Murphy said: "Just that we love our son." Gerry Maio, president of the Bayswater City Soccer Club where the teenager plays, said the Mr Murphy's mother was upset by what happened. "She was in tears as any mother would be," he told ABC radio. "He was a very promising athlete in our sport. I haven't even seen him with a bottle of beer in his hand." Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Nine Network consular officials made contact with Mr Murphy and were preparing to visit him on Wednesday. "It is a warning to all those who are going overseas on schoolies weeks, and to their parents and friends, that we are subject to the laws of another country when we visit those countries," she said. Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws. Queensland woman Schapelle Corby was convicted in 2005 of trying to smuggle marijuana into Bali. Her case attracted intense interest in Australia, with prolonged public debate over her guilt or innocence, before she was released from prison in 2014. Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed in Indonesia last year for drug offences. They were among a group of Australians dubbed the Bali Nine who travelled to Indonesia in 2005 hoping to bring 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin back to Australia. Australia briefly withdrew its ambassador from Indonesia after the execution. Between May and July, UK earnings excluding bonuses grew 2.9% compared with the same period last year. The rate was the fastest since 2009, and was seen as bringing forward estimates of when rates might rise. Sterling rose more than 1% against the dollar to $1.5505 and was up 0.84% against the euro at €1.3730. The FTSE 100 index closed up 1.49% to 6,229.21. SABMiller was the stand-out stock on the market, jumping 20% after it received a bid approach from rival AB InBev. A deal would combine the world's two largest brewers, bringing together brands such as Budweiser, Stella Artois, Peroni and Grolsch. Burberry shares were 0.9% higher following encouraging news from rival luxury goods group Richemont. Richemont's latest sales figures beat expectations and also showed that sales in China - a key market for Burberry - had begun to grow again. Shares in Glencore rose 5% after the mining giant said it had raised $2.5bn through a share placement as part of its debt-cutting strategy. Shares in packaging and paper group Mondi were the biggest fallers on the index, down 4.3%, after Goldman Sachs cut its rating on the firm to "sell". JD Sports rose 3.1% after the sportswear firm reported an 83% jump in half-year pre-tax profits to £46.6m. The cod population has been in long-term decline for many years, largely due to fishing. The EU introduced a recovery plan to try and curb cod fishing, but this appears to have had a limited effect. The study found that although cod fishing has now halved, predation by seals has rapidly increased. Grey seal populations increased significantly after the passing of conservation laws in the 1970s but, more recently, their numbers in the west of Scotland have levelled off at around 30,000 to 40,000. The seals are believed to consume nearly 7,000 tonnes of cod each year off the west of Scotland, where landed catches now amount to only a few hundred tonnes. Researchers from the University of Strathclyde said the amount of cod being eaten by seals was preventing stocks of the fish from recovering. The impact of grey seals on cod stocks has been a controversial topic for decades. Fishermen have anecdotally blamed seals for the reduction of Atlantic cod stocks, and various studies have been undertaken to determine whether or not this is true. In 2012, the Canadian Senate approved a controversial plan to kill 70,000 grey seals in the Gulf of St Lawrence under a bounty system, ostensibly to revive the cod stocks that the seals were eating. However, a group of marine scientists objected at the time, stating that there was "no credible scientific evidence" that the cull would have its intended effect. Dr Robin Cook, who led the study, said: "It appears that fishing played a major part in the decline of the cod but increasing predation by seals is preventing the stock from recovering, even though the amount of fishing has reduced. "Fishery managers face striking a difficult balance. With high predation by seals, the cod stock will struggle to improve and the recovery plan may not deliver the expected results. We may have to live with smaller cod stocks if we want to protect our seals." An EU plan to aid recovery of cod stocks placed strict restrictions on the amount of time fishermen can spend at sea as stocks fell to 5% of what they were in 1981 but the researchers are now urging a change in the plan. In some years before the recovery plan was in force, fishing accounted for around 50% of the total weight of the cod stock but the study found that, although fishing has now halved, predation by seals has rapidly increased, with the animals eating up more than 40% of the total stock. Dr Steven Holmes, of the European Commission Joint Research Centre, who co-authored the report, said: "Seal populations have increased on the west coast of Scotland and they also seem to be able to find the cod just as easily, even though the stock is now small. He warned: "This makes the remaining stock very vulnerable to predation." The research has been published in the Journal of Applied Ecology. More than 90% of British grey seals breed in Scotland, the majority in the Hebrides and Orkney. They eat a wide range of fish, but sand eels - a small, thin fish that lives near the sea bed - form the largest part of their diet. Although cod form only around 10% of the total weight of fish eaten by seals, the study suggests this is sufficient to have a significant impact on the stock. The release of single Uptown Funk has been brought forward by five weeks. After the 26-year-old performed the track on the ITV1 show on Saturday night it topped the iTunes chart. Simon Cowell called it "one of the top three performances" in X Factor's history. Fleur told Newsbeat: "Yeah I'm really sorry but all I can say is it's props to all their creative hard work because it's an amazing song." "I don't know what they were thinking in their minds. I don't think anyone expected my performance to be as popular as it was." "We didn't expect it to go to number one on iTunes. That's crazy like." Uptown Funk, sung by Bruno Mars, has been available digitally for a few weeks and was due for release in the UK on 11 January. Some bookmakers have now suspended bets on the song, sung by Bruno or Fleur, reaching Christmas number one. Fleur says the music team on the show were surprised at the success: "I think straight away they were like oh wow, what's happened here? So they had to speed up the release date." Ladbrokes stopped taking bets late on Monday night. Other bookmakers slashed their odds, with William Hill offering 7/1, making Uptown Funk its third favourite for the festive top spot, after The X Factor winner's single and Band Aid 30. But Fleur says she hopes Mark Ronson's good gesture won't affect the success of his hard work: "It would be a shame in many ways, obviously because it was their song and they created it, it would only be right that theirs got to number one." Featuring Bruno Mars on lead vocals, Uptown Funk is the first single from British producer Mark Ronson's fourth album, Uptown Special. Ronson's record label, Columbia UK, is part of Sony Music along with Simon Cowell's label Syco. With Mark Ronson and Simon Cowell both under the Columbia Records umbrella this could be seen as a clever PR ploy. But it could backfire. Anyone who bought Fleur's cover version may not want to spend more money on the original. Uptown Funk will also enter the charts at the most competitive time of year - the race for the Christmas number one. It's likely to go up against the Band Aid charity single and The X Factor winner's song - which ironically could belong to Fleur East.

Medical staff failed to recognise Diane Thomas was eight months pregnant and in labour when she suffered "horrendous" stomach cramps, the inquest was told. She was admitted to the Royal Cornwall Hospital but gave birth before getting access to an ultrasound scan. The hospital said it was reviewing the hours scanning was available. The inquest at Truro City Hall was told doctors believed Dianne Thomas, who was overweight, was experiencing a miscarriage when she reported suffering bad stomach cramps for two days. She was admitted to a gynaecological ward the Royal Cornwall Hospital on 30 March but could not access an ultrasound scan until the following day. In a police interview, Ms Thomas, from Madron, Penzance, said the following morning she reported "really bad pain" but a nurse had told her "if you were in that much pain you would be rolling around on that bed". She said she went to the toilet and said within 15 minutes she gave birth to Ellie Nicholls in what she described as "a bad shock, like it was all a dream". Nurses and a doctor described in statements how the baby had been initially stuck in the toilet and had then survived "for a few minutes" but resuscitation efforts failed. The gestation period was believed to have been between 31 and 33 weeks. Expert paediatrician Prof Peter Fleming said there was a chance Ellie Nicholls could have survived if her mother had been on a labour suite, but it was "very unlikely" as she had suffered a "very severe infection". Karen Watkins, a consultant obstetrician from the Royal Cornwall Hospital told the inquest "the hospital recognised, if there had been access to a scan when Diane was admitted, the correct gestation may have been detected". She said the hospital was looking at extending those scanning hours. The coroner for Cornwall, Dr Emma Carlyon, concluded that Ellie Nicholls died of natural causes. NHS England had previously said that local authorities should provide the pre-exposure prophylaxis drug - known as Prep - because they are responsible for preventative health. But the court insisted this fell within the remit of the NHS. An estimated 14,000 people would be eligible for Prep in England. Campaigners and the Local Government Association, which represents local authorities, said they were delighted by the decision. NHS England said the judgment confirmed that it had the ability, but not the obligation, to fund Prep. An NHS spokesman said it would now formally consider whether to fund the drug. "Second, we will discuss with local authorities how NHS-funded Prep medication could be administered by the sexual health teams they commission. "Third, we will immediately ask the drug manufacturer to reconsider its currently proposed excessively high pricing, and will also explore options for using generics." In August, the High Court told NHS England it could fund the drug because it was wrong to classify Prep as preventative, given that it acts in the body to treat infection. This came after a successful challenge by the National Aids Trust (NAT) and other campaigners. Deborah Gold, chief executive of NAT, said they were delighted that the Court of Appeal had confirmed the earlier judgement. "HIV is a critical issue in the UK where over 4,000 people acquire HIV every year. "Prep works, it saves money, and most importantly it has the power to prevent HIV acquisition for thousands of people, at the same time as beginning to end the HIV epidemic. "This judgement brings that possibility one step closer." She said she hoped NHS England would now make "a balanced and evidence-based decision on Prep". Izzi Seccombe, chairman of the Local Government Association's community wellbeing board, said treatment with Prep was clearly part of NHS England's commissioning powers. "We now hope this decision will provide much-needed clarity around the roles of councils and the NHS on prevention services. She added: "It is time for NHS England to stop delaying and finally determine whether to commission this treatment, which could greatly reduce the risk of HIV infection." HIV drug row: A very modern dilemma for the NHS Harry's story: HIV drug 'gave me confidence to trust' Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or Prep for short) is a small, blue pill. The pill works by protecting cells in the body and disabling the virus to stop it multiplying - should it enter the body. Taking it once a day has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by 86%. It is currently used in the US, Canada, Australia and France to help protect gay men at the highest risk of contracting HIV. There are more than 100,000 people living with HIV in the UK and, statistically, gay men are the most at-risk group. The average HIV prevalence in the UK is 2.3 per 1,000 population. However for gay men the rate jumps to 48.7 per 1,000. Black African women are the second most at-risk group with a prevalence rate of 43.7 per 1,000. Latest figures show there were 6,151 new diagnoses made in 2014, up from 6,032 the previous year, according to Public Health England. Barca were lucky, with La Real having a goal wrongly ruled out for offside, as well as hitting the woodwork twice. "This is the first time I've seen a team walk all over us since I became coach," said Enrique, boss since 2014. "If we look at the result, it is the best of the season. The opponents were far superior." Barcelona's next La Liga game is against leaders Real Madrid next Saturday, and the champions are six points off their rivals going into El Clasico. "I'm sure we'll see a different Barca in the Clasico," said Enrique. Barcelona trailed deservedly to Willian Jose's header, but Lionel Messi equalised six minutes later. Barca, who have not won in their past eight away games against Real Sociedad, were dominated on possession for the first time this season, with only 47.7% of the ball. Fifth-placed La Real should have retaken the lead when Juanmi tapped home, but it was harshly disallowed, while Carlos Vela hit the crossbar and post. "Most teams try to get the better of us by defending but they played a good game, trying to play with the ball, and they deserved the three points," added Enrique. "We are in week 13, you can't discount the champions from the past two seasons. There is still a long way to go." Meanwhile, left-back Jordi Alba is a doubt for El Clasico with ankle and knee problems. The club said "how he evolves will determine his availability for the next few games".

Within a year the Post Office claims it will also have more branches open on a Sunday than any other retailer, including Tesco. The latest branch to open seven days a week is in a garden centre at Bergh Apton, south east of Norwich. Customers will be able to post and collect parcels, as well as buy euros. But, as with many other franchised offices, there will be no dedicated till - meaning those wanting to use the Post Office will have to queue up alongside those buying plants. "Sunday is our busiest day, so we're delighted to be able to offer this service to our customers," said Michelle Evans, who runs the Green Pastures Farm Centre. More than 6,000 Post Offices have closed since 2000, but in 2012 the organisation promised to maintain the current network of 11,500 branches. Since then an additional 50 High Street branches - main Post Offices - have been converted to franchised operations, in an attempt to stem losses. As a result the public subsidy for the Post Office has fallen from £210m in 2011/12 to £130m in 2014/15. "Through our modernisation programme, our branches are open when and where people want them to be," said Kevin Gilliland, network director at the Post Office. "We intend to be the largest retail network in the UK open seven days a week." The government is already planning to allow larger stores to open for longer hours on a Sunday - but smaller shops, like Post Offices, are already excluded from the six-hour opening limit. 6 December 2015 Last updated at 15:01 GMT Thousands of people came out to watch the event. With the spectacular Christmas tree being the main attraction. The tree has been decorated with 45,000 lights and an amazing 6,500 baubles. Christmas is a major event for the biblical town, because Bethlehem is traditionally known as the birthplace of Jesus and where the Nativity takes place. The Hollywood stars released a joint statement saying they would keep all divorce documents and proceedings under seal in order to "preserve the privacy rights of their children and family". It continues: "The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification." Private judges have become more popular in the US in recent years. They are most often used by wealthier clients in family law cases, civil cases and breach of contract disputes. They have the same authority as public judges but the main advantages are that personal information remains private, as meetings and hearings are held outside of the public court system, the process is often quicker and you can select your own judge and schedule court dates to suit your schedules. Jolie cited "irreconcilable differences" when she filed to end the marriage on 19 September. In November, court papers revealed Pitt was seeking joint custody of his six children in his split from Jolie. She had previously asked for full custody of all the children. In the same month, an investigation into whether Pitt was abusive towards his son in September ended with no finding of wrongdoing. Social workers in Los Angeles had been examining claims Pitt hit his 15-year-old son Maddox on a private jet. Jolie filed for divorce the day after the incident.

If elected, it says it would introduce an environmental act to safeguard thousands of EU laws that will disappear when Britain leaves the bloc. Co-leader Caroline Lucas said the party would also introduce locally owned energy firms and end plastic waste. Launching its manifesto, she said the Green Party was the only one to put the environment at the heart of policies. Stressing that the Greens were "different", she said: "We know that our prosperity depends on the natural world - it's the ultimate source of everything we make and use from food and materials to the sinks for our waste. "Even a digital economy is hugely dependent on raw earth materials and huge amounts of energy. "Building a successful economy is not at odds with protecting our environment - it's absolutely impossible to build a thriving economy without protecting our environment." Under the plans, Greens would introduce: Ms Lucas added: "The environment has been wilfully ignored by the political mainstream and our climate and our countryside will pay the price of an environment-free election. "With 2016 the hottest year on record, and a climate-denier in the White House, the need for bold and dynamic action on climate change has never been more urgent." Liverpool keeper Mignolet made amends for his first-half embarrassment when he had been caught off guard by David Luiz's superb free-kick from 25 yards. Georginio Wijnaldum's close-range header 11 minutes after the break gave Liverpool a draw they fully deserved, ending a run of three successive home losses, two of which knocked them out of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. However, it could have been much better for Chelsea and worse for Liverpool when Costa went to ground under challenge from Joel Matip 14 minutes from the end. Referee Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot but Mignolet dived low to his right to save the Spain striker's spot-kick. Roberto Firmino wasted Liverpool's two best chances, shooting high over an open goal and heading straight at Thibaut Courtois in the closing seconds. Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea manager Antonio Conte disguised his disappointment about Costa's late penalty being saved by Mignolet with his reaction at the final whistle. The Italian knew Chelsea would be facing a wounded Liverpool after those three damaging defeats - and he clearly saw this as one point won rather than two lost as he went straight to the visiting fans and pumped his fists in delight. The Blues were not at their best and yet showed the resilience and compactness of old as they were dominated in possession but kept Liverpool at arm's length for most of the game. And in N'Golo Kante they had the game's outstanding performer, perpetual motion and first to every loose ball in midfield and at both ends of the pitch. Costa had an off night, including squandering the penalty, but Chelsea found answers elsewhere and carried a threat of their own after Pedro came on as a late substitute. Chelsea may only return to London with a point, but results elsewhere for Arsenal and Tottenham made this a good night for the Premier League leaders. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had endured his worst week since arriving at Anfield in October 2015 with the Premier League defeat by Swansea City, the EFL Cup semi-final loss to Southampton and the FA Cup fourth-round humiliation against Championship side Wolves. The German, however, has proved his mettle against his closest Premier League rivals - and once again he emerged unbeaten to maintain his excellent record against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham since his appointment. This draw means that he has played 15 league games against that group, winning six, drawing eight and losing only one, a home defeat by United last season. Liverpool's hopes of a first title since 1990 are receding as they are 10 points behind Chelsea - but there was plenty for Klopp to be happy about. This was more like the high-intensity Liverpool of the early months of the season, although their play lacks subtlety at times as they seem to get carried away by the emotion of the crowd, as well as their animated manager in his technical area. And further good news was the sight of leading scorer Sadio Mane, who has nine league goals, coming on as a substitute after his return from Africa Cup Of Nations duty with Senegal. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "I said before the game - and people didn't like it - but this wonderful, powerful club needs to keep its nerves. "Not everything is bad because we lose. This team is outstanding in attitude so let's do the best we can and see where we end up at the end of the season. The results tonight were good for us, but we must continue to fight." Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea manager Antonio Conte: "It was a very tough game. Both teams tried to play with intensity. I'm pleased. We saw a different game to when we played Liverpool and lost at home. "It's pity Diego Costa missed the penalty because he played very well. We had different chances to score goals, but we must be happy with the result and the performance because it is not easy to play away at Liverpool." Match ends, Liverpool 1, Chelsea 1.

The figures obtained by BBC Wales reveal that nearly one in seven routes across 19 council areas have been axed. The charity Age Cymru warned of the impact this could have on older people saying they could become increasingly isolated and cut off from services. The Welsh government said it was reviewing ways of funding services. But a spokesperson also added that decisions on support for local service remained with councils. Responses to a Freedom of Information request show 93 services have been cut from 656 subsidised routes between 2011 and 2014. Some councils warned they were continuing to review bus services following cuts to transport budgets after a 25% reduction in Welsh government funding. Nineteen out of Wales' 22 councils responded to the BBC Wales questions on bus routes: Mavis Jones, a regular bus user in Brymbo, is near a bus route which is at risk in Wrexham. She said: "I'd be stuck in the house and I wouldn't be able to go out at all because we haven't got a car and we don't drive, so the buses are very important. "It would affect the elderly dreadfully. They wouldn't be able to go out to contact anybody, to have a chat or go anywhere at all to meet anyone. They'd be like prisoners in their own home." In a statement, Wrexham council said: "At this time, no services have yet been identified as being cut or withdrawn. "The budget will be discussed by full council on 26 February and we are awaiting to see what funding, if any, will come from the Welsh government after April." Rob Lewis, deputy leader of Pembrokeshire council, told BBC Radio Wales it was becoming more challenging for councils to provide the same level of service when faced with tough budget decisions. He said the local authority had received more than 700 responses from bus users, which it would use to design a revised service. "What we are trying to do is provide a service, although it may not be the perfect service we would like to see, but to ensure that people do at least have an opportunity... for them to move around the county albeit on a limited basis," he said. The latest figures on service cuts follow a report by the charity Age Cymru last December. In it, the charity claimed there was a lack of bus services in many communities. Spokesman Iwan Rhys Roberts said: "Older people will become increasingly isolated and cut off from services. They will not be able to access the services that they need. It's a big concern for us." Responding to the bus service cuts, a Welsh government spokesman told BBC Wales that the transport minister was looking for "innovative solutions" to deliver an efficient, sustainable bus service across Wales. "But local authorities are responsible for determining how they spend the funding we provide and identify which services should be supported and at what level," added the government spokesperson. Six teams had a total rise from 459 calls between August 2014-2015, to 585 in the 12 months to August this year. North East Wales Search and Rescue Team (NEWSAR) saw the biggest jump, but Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, which covers Snowdonia, received the most calls. Becky Vaughan, of NEWSAR, said it put a "huge strain" on the team. North East Wales, Aberglaslyn, Llanberis, Central Beacon, Brecon and Aberdovey search and rescue teams all reported a year-on-year increase to Welsh language news programme Newyddion 9. Aberdovey 32 to 35 Aberglaslyn 50 to 55 Brecon 96 to 111 Central Beacon 87 to 118 Llanberis 157 to 203 North East Wales 37 to 63 Brecon Mountain Rescue Team recorded its busiest month on record in July, with 23 call-outs for incidents including missing people, injured mountain bikers and unconscious walkers. The team's deputy leader, Mark Jones, said he believed the spike was linked to more people taking part in outdoor activities. He said the team, staffed by volunteers, costs £40,000 a year to run based on about 100 calls, so an increase in calls would impact on medical equipment and rescue material supplies. Ms Vaughan said the rise in call-outs put pressure on teams and the need to raise money to continue their work. "The increase in calls has also put a strain on us. We don't get paid so we have to go out to work. Many of us work full-time," she said. "We have families and we have to leave the family to help people. Also, if the number of calls increases, we have to raise more money to help other people. "So we have to go out on Sunday to raise money in a fair at St Asaph so that we can continue." 10 December 2014 Last updated at 08:25 GMT EH Shepard's ink drawing of the bear playing Poohsticks with Piglet and Christopher Robin was published in 1928. The illustration featured in AA Milne's second book, The House At Pooh Corner. The famed drawing, entitled 'For a long time they looked at the river beneath them…' is set in chapter six of the book, which was called "In which Pooh invents a new game and Eeyore joins in". It formed part of auction house Sotheby's sale of children's books.

[NEXT_CONCEPT] One of the most famous images of Winnie the Pooh has sold for £314,500 at auction in London.

The RNLI said it was aware of congestion problems in St Dogmaels which is the main access route to the nearby lifeboat station in Cardigan. It said it had led to delays in crews launching the lifeboat. Pembrokeshire council said the restrictions will be in place in the next few weeks. An RNLI spokesman said: "We would ask motorists in the area to consider that lifeboat crews will be using the route to respond to emergencies and park and drive accordingly." Double yellow lines will be painted in areas around Pilot Street. A Pembrokeshire council spokesman said the measures will "ensure sufficient carriageway width is retained to allow opposing traffic flow and vehicles to exit without any potential confrontation which is what is presently occurring". In addition, St Dogmaels council has asked the county council to suspend the parking charges introduced in the High Street car park during the summer season to assess the impact it has on the congestion.

Parking restrictions are being stepped up in a north Pembrokeshire village following emergency access concerns by RNLI volunteers.

Two Uber drivers claimed the company was acting unlawfully by not paying holiday or sick pay. It has been described as a test case not only for the business model of ride-hailing firm Uber, but for the whole so-called "gig economy". Uber insists its drivers are self-employed and says it will appeal. The firm has more than 40,000 licensed drivers in 20 UK towns and cities making more than a million trips per week. Drivers and campaigners hail Uber ruling The outcome of this case may not only affect its business model, but could also change the relationship between many firms and their self-employed workers. Two drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, argued that they were employed by Uber but didn't have basic workers' rights. The cases were brought by the GMB union. The drivers said they should be entitled to holiday pay, and that they should be paid the National Minimum Wage. For example, Mr Farrar (who no longer drives for Uber) said his net earnings in August 2015 after expenses were £5.03 an hour. The drivers also argued that their actions were controlled by Uber, so in effect they were employed by the firm. Once a driver accepts a job he or she is not notified of the destination, and faces punitive measures if they don't perform well enough, for example, following a customer complaint. The two drivers claimed sums of money were frequently deducted from their pay, often without advance warning. A further 17 claims have been brought against Uber, according to law firm Leigh Day. Uber argued that there are more than 30,000 drivers in London and 40,000 in the UK using its app to find customers. Many do so, it says, because it allows them to work flexibly. The firm says drivers, whom it calls "partners", can "become their own boss". It also doesn't set shifts or minimum hours, or make drivers work exclusively for Uber. Uber said that in September, drivers for UberX (the most basic private car service that Uber offers) made £16 an hour on average, after Uber's service fee, and that only 25% logged in for 40 or more hours per week. Alex Bearman, partner at law firm Russell-Cooke, says the outcome is likely to have "significant implications for other operators in the fast growing 'gig economy'". Similar cases are currently being brought against the courier firms CitySprint, eCourier and Excel as well as taxi firm Addison Lee. But Martin Warren, partner and head of labour relations at Eversheds, says the fact the Uber claimants have won their case does not mean that cases brought by others will have the same success. "Each case will depend on the specific terms and arrangements between the individual and the company they work for." Uber is appealing against the decision, but it may have to give drivers back-pay for unpaid benefits in the UK, and pick up the future cost of those benefits. "We may not see a final determination for some time to come," says Mr Bearman. They may have to, as Uber may pass on any higher labour costs to its customers. "Consumers will see prices rise and a less stable, predictable service," believes Sam Dumitriu, head of projects at the Adam Smith Institute. Luke Bowery, a partner at Burges Salmon agrees. "[Higher fares will] disrupt Uber's ability to offer a flexible and responsive service to its customers - potentially hitting at the heart of service delivery, as well as its profit margins," he says. The ruling applies only in the UK. Different countries have different employment laws. However, the tribunal's decision "may have an impact on how Uber operates in other countries and we have already seen similar significant claims from drivers being settled in the US," Mr Bowery says. The trend of firms taking on self-employed workers who engage with work through apps may have to change radically, says Mr Bowery. Faced with similar employment tribunal claims, these firms may either have to change their business models, or pass the increased costs onto customers. "When operated in the right way, many individuals, including some Uber drivers, highly value the benefits the gig economy can bring," adds Mr Bowery. "These benefits do need to be balanced, however, against potential exploitation and we are unlikely to have seen the last of claims of this type as the gig economy continues to grow."

An employment tribunal in London has ruled that Uber drivers can be classed as workers - and are not self-employed.

The one-time signing target of Rangers, the club he supported as a boy, says the comments have been more amusing than alarming. Allan, 23, said: "There's been quite a lot of humour from friends. But I knew it was coming. It's not affected me at all, to be honest. "There's not been any malice in it, so it's been fine for me." The former Hibernian player added: "I've had the odd couple of things said but nothing too bad, nothing menacing. "It's just good to be at a big club." Allan has only played 35 minutes of first-team action since moving from Easter Road to the Scottish champions in August. He has made two substitute appearances against Dundee United and St Johnstone. He believes he needs to bide his time to claim a regular place in the starting line-up and to keep up his match fitness. Last season's PFA Scotland Championship player of the year featured in Celtic's Development League fixture with Dundee on Tuesday evening. "I hadn't played 90 minutes since the first game of the season for Hibs at Dumbarton, so game time is vital for me," Allan admitted. "When I signed I did say I'd need to be patient. I've still had minutes to come on and show, but I need to be patient and wait for my chance. "There are a lot of games coming up so I think everybody will get a chance. It's up to me to take my chance when given it." Those games for the Scottish Premiership leaders include a trip to Pittodrie this Saturday for a lunchtime fixture with second-place Aberdeen, before next Thursday's Europa League group stage opener in Amsterdam against Ajax. He told BBC Scotland: "This match against Aberdeen is probably the biggest game domestically we've had this season. It'll obviously be good to put a marker down. "They try and play the right way. They've got good players and a strong bench which they didn't have in previous seasons. "Aberdeen and Hearts have both started well and I think the two of them will be up challenging this year." With Celtic dropping into the Europa League after failing to qualify for the Champions League, Allan is looking forward to locking horns with Turkish giants Fenerbahce, the Norwegian champions Molde and Ajax in Group A. "The Champions League was a bit of a disappointment, the fact we didn't go through, but there are big European clubs in this group so there are some good fixtures there," he said. "We've just got to get through the group. Fenerbahce have a really strong team, Ajax have been doing well, so hopefully we can give a good account of ourselves and pick up some points. "If we can get some good results first and gain a bit of confidence in the European games then who knows what can happen."

Midfielder Scott Allan says the reaction from fans has not been as bad as he expected since joining Celtic.

Up-for-sale Vale, who still have an outside chance of reaching the League One play-offs, currently have only nine contracted players for next term. Dickinson, one of those whose deals expire this summer, told BBC Radio Stoke that the players would be difficult to replace. "We work hard for each other. Sometimes that's hard to find," said Dickinson. "We have to keep this nucleus together. If something can get sorted, that would be brilliant. "Everyone's fighting for their future," added former Stoke City defender Dickinson, who joined Vale from Watford in 2013, initially on a one-year deal, prior to signing a two-year contract the following summer. "I don't want to be in limbo. It's horrible. I've got a wife and kids to think about." Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite has already warned that the club's budget may have to be cut by a further £800,000. Playing as a wing-back in a new 3-5-2 formation at Gillingham on Saturday, Dickinson scored the second goal in Vale's 2-0 away win. Coming after the 3-0 win which relegated neighbours Crewe, Vale are now back up to 11th, six points behind sixth-placed Gillingham. And Dickinson believes those successive victories, which followed a damaging run of just one point in four matches, shows Vale are still firing on full cylinders. "Everyone's fighting for it. I've heard it being said that we're already on our holidays, and that's rubbish," he said. Top scorer AJ Leitch-Smith notched his 10th league goal of the season in Saturday's win at the Priestfield Stadium. "It was a fantastic goal," added Dickinson. "It shows what he brings us. And his work-rate goes unsung too." BT chairman Sir Mike Rake told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Openreach would also be handed more power to make investment decisions. Competitors have accused BT of not investing enough in Openreach, which runs its phone and broadband network. Ofcom will report on Tuesday on how Openreach ought to be run. Sir Mike said: "We are absolutely willing to form an Openreach board, that will have an independent chairman and a majority of independent directors." When asked about the company's customer service record, he said, "Our customer service is not good enough yet," but that improvements, including bringing more customer service to the UK, were in progress. In May, BT outlined plans to invest £6bn over the next three years in faster broadband and mobile services. It plans to offer what it describes as "ultra-fast" broadband to 12 million premises by 2020, as well as improving coverage of faster 4G mobile services. However, Sky said the plan had "limited ambition" and called for BT to invest in the UK's broadband fibre network. Sky, Vodafone and TalkTalk have all suggested Openreach should be separated from BT. On average, UK households received speeds of 29Mbps last year, according to regulator Ofcom. Flames leapt several storeys high above the Interstate 85 highway before the collapse at 19:30 local time (23:30 GMT), reports said. Residents said they thought the sun had set early or a storm had arrived because of the thick black smoke. No one was injured and no cars were on the overpass when it fell. Police stopped traffic and turned cars away from the highway bridge just minutes before it collapsed, according to Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Sergeant Cortez Stafford. The fire caused widespread traffic jams and road closures, stranding many motorists for hours. Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency in Fulton County, which covers most of the Atlanta area. It is unclear what caused the fire beneath the overpass, but the governor told reporters the fire appeared to be fuelled by a large pile of PVC piping stored under the structure. Georgia Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said the fire began in an area "as a storage location for construction materials, equipment and supplies. The site was a secured area containing materials such as PVC piping, which is a stable, non-combustible material". Airport firefighters were called in to spray foam typically used in airline crashes on to the flames. Atlanta police told residents not to drive in order to keep roads clear for emergency services. Government offices in Atlanta were set to open late on Friday to give people extra time to travel to work. The interstate is a major thoroughfare in Atlanta, carrying up to 250,000 vehicles per day. It is unclear when it will be reopened. Army spokesman Maj Gen Wuryanto said the halt came into force in December and a broad range of activities were affected, including joint training. Australian Defence officials confirmed Indonesia had halted all defence co-operation over "teaching materials". Bilateral relations have been tense at times in recent years, although there were recent signs of improvement. "All forms of co-operation with the Australian military, including joint training, have been temporarily withheld. I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible," Maj Gen Wuryanto said. Australia's Defence Minister Marise Payne said later in a statement: "Late last year concerns were raised by an Indonesian TNI (Indonesian National Armed Forces) officer about some teaching materials and remarks at an Army language training facility in Australia." "The Australian Army has looked into the serious concerns that were raised and the investigation into the incident is being finalised." 'Offensive material' Indonesian special forces group Kopassus trains with the Special Air Service in Perth, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC). An Indonesian newspaper, Kompas, reported that a Kopassus instructor had found "laminated material" at the training facility which he considered to be offensive to the Indonesia's founding principle of Pancasila. When asked about this, Maj Gen Wuryanto said there were many reasons for the suspension, without giving further details. The countries' navies had been expected to take part in multinational training exercises next month. "Whether or not we will continue with the joint exercise, I will have to get back to you on that," First Admiral Jonias Mozes Sipasulta, from the Indonesian navy, told the ABC. Australia has stopped conducting joint training exercises with the Kopassus before, after accusations of abuses by the unit in East Timor in 1999 in the lead-up to the former Indonesian territory's independence. The co-operation resumed in 2006 amid a renewed focus on counterterrorism after two Bali nightclubs were bombed in 2002, killing 202 people including 88 Australians. In addition to the 2013 allegations of Australian spying, ties were also strained in 2015 following Indonesia's executions of Australian drug smugglers Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, and its criticism of Australia's border protection policy. In December 2015, the nations signed a "memorandum of understanding" after Indonesia arrested nine people over an alleged terror threat following a tip-off that reportedly came from Australian Federal Police. In September last year, the first joint training exercise on Australian soil since 1995 was staged in the northern city of Darwin. In November, the nations flagged the prospect of joint military patrols in the South China Sea - something Australia already does with the US and India. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said at the time that maritime co-operation between the nations was strong and included training and personnel exchanges. The 35-year-old Swiss has not played since a Wimbledon semi-final defeat by Milos Raonic in late July. World number two Serena Williams has also withdrawn from the IPTL. This year's tournament features one fewer team than last year, and has been undermined by financial difficulties. Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, is expected to be fit for January's Australian Open. "We have had challenges this year, and we were hoping to get past them," said IPTL founder Mahesh Bhupathi. "With the current economic climate in India and the uncertainty of spending money, I reached out to both Roger and Serena to explain the situation." Now in its third year, the IPTL is a team competition featuring four city franchises - Indian Aces, Japan Warriors, Singapore Slammers and UAE Royals. Teams face each other in fixtures in Tokyo, Singapore and Hyderabad from 2-11 December. There are seven players in each team, with each fixture played over five sets comprised of a men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles match before a 'past champions' singles, featuring iconic players. Kei Nishikori, Tomas Berdych and Nick Kyrgios are the only top-20 singles players involved this year, while 'past champions' include Mark Philippoussis and Goran Ivanisevic. World number one Andy Murray played in the 2014 and 2015 tournaments. She was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary at 03:16 GMT and is said to be in a critical but stable condition. Northumbria Police investigating what the drugs were and where they were bought have closed the Happy Chippy on Waterloo Street. Three men aged 17, 26 and 38, have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences. Detectives have asked anyone with information to contact Northumbria Police or Crimestoppers. The world number one and defending champion, 30, plays 24th seed Querrey on Centre Court at 13:00 BST. Murray expects his return to be tested against the serving prowess of Querrey, 29, having beaten four unorthodox opponents on his way to the last eight. Roger Federer, 35, plays Milos Raonic in the second match on Centre Court. The Swiss seven-time champion, seeded third, lost to Canadian sixth seed Raonic in last year's semi-final but has looked in imperious form so far this year. On Court One, Serbia's three-time winner Novak Djokovic plays Czech 11th seed Tomas Berdych, after Croatia's seventh seed Marin Cilic plays 16th seed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg, conqueror of world number two Rafael Nadal in round four. After rain disrupted play on Tuesday, Wednesday's weather is forecast to be dry, overcast and cool, at about 21C. Media playback is not supported on this device After overcoming the unpredictable talents of Alexander Bublik, Dustin Brown, Fabio Fognini and Benoit Paire to reach the quarter-finals, Murray faces a much clearer task against the 6ft 6in Querrey. The 29-year-old from California is second in the aces chart with 99 and a fastest serve of 137mph. However, Murray has won more points at the net as he has been sent scurrying all over Centre Court in his first four matches, testing out the sore hip that disrupted his build-up. "Like I said at the beginning of the tournament, I'll be able to get through seven matches if that's what I have to do," the Scot said after his win over Benoit Paire on Monday. "Obviously I want to try to get to the final. I've done a good job so far here." Murray has won seven of their eight previous matches for the loss of just two sets, but Querrey has played his best tennis at Wimbledon over the past two years. The American upset then world number one Djokovic in the third round last year on his way to a first Grand Slam quarter-final, and has matched that feat 12 months on. "He obviously likes the conditions here," said Murray. "He played really well last year. "I maybe played one or two service games in the first set [against Paire] that weren't the best. Against Querrey, you can't really afford that. He's not an easy guy to break. "When he's standing up on the baseline, hitting forehands, dictating, he's a very dangerous player." Querrey knows what to expect from Murray, who has an excellent record against big servers and will play his 10th consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final. "I haven't really learned anything [from previous matches]," said Querrey. "He makes a ton of balls. He plays great defence. Who doesn't know that? I have to try to beat him playing my game." Yet to drop a set and with just two losses to his name in 2017, Federer is the favourite to reclaim the title he last won in 2012. Twelve months ago, he lost to Raonic in a five-set semi-final that proved to be his final match of 2016, before he took an extended break to let his injured knee heal properly. It worked better than anyone could have imagined as the 35-year-old returned at the start of the year to win his 18th major title in Australia, and is still riding that wave of confidence. Raonic, 26, is not quite in the form of last year but remains a fearsome opponent on grass, with a fastest serve so far of 142mph. "To beat a big server is a different kind of match," said Federer. "It's more of a penalty shootout. "On the return I've got to keep going for it, keep staying aggressive. Positive attitude. I do believe good things can happen." Djokovic, 30, returns to action for the second day in a row after his fourth-round match against Adrian Mannarino was delayed by rain, but the Serb won in three comfortable sets on Tuesday. Berdych, 31, has impressed in reaching his first Grand Slam quarter-final for a year but is on the wrong end of a crushing 25-2 career record against Djokovic, having lost the last 12. "For me, it's important to start off well," said Djokovic. "I've played him many times. I know what I need to do. Hopefully I can execute that." The opening match on Court One will see a clash of two of the best grass-courters, with Muller hoping to build on his win over Nadal and Cilic through to a fourth straight Wimbledon quarter-final. "I played Marin not too long ago at the Queen's Club in the semi-finals," said Muller, 34. "I lost to him in three tough sets. Obviously he's playing good." OHB System of Bremen and SSTL of Guildford have so far produced all of the fully operational satellites in the constellation. This latest batch - assuming no launch failures - would take Galileo to the status of a full network with spares. The deal will be done here at the Paris Air Show. OHB, as prime contractor, will sign the paperwork with the European Space Agency. Esa acts as the technical and procurement agent for the European Commission, which owns Galileo. So far, so good. But then comes the thorny issue of Brexit. It is highly unlikely that SSTL, which assembles the timing and navigation payloads on the spacecraft at its Surrey factory, will have completed its share of the production effort by Friday 29 March, 2019 - the date for Britain's withdrawal from the EU. That's problematic because there are restrictions on "third countries" working on classified EU information and technologies - which Galileo incorporates, specifically in the form of PRS. Short for Public Regulated Service, this is a restricted, robust and high-precision signal that Galileo satellites will be transmitting to be used by government agencies. In short, unless some way can be found to surmount the third country matter, it will become "illegal" for this classified work to continue in Guildford. Other work could, but not PRS. You might ask therefore why SSTL was given the work as part of the OHB-led consortium knowing that Brexit is on the horizon? But the UK remains a member of the EU until it leaves, and as such its companies must be treated no differently than any other European firm in a tender process. To display any bias would invite a legal challenge that has only one outcome. OHB-SSTL won the satellites fair and square. Europe's Galileo system under construction So, the pair of them, Esa, the European Commission and the UK government now have just over a year and a half to figure this one out. For their part, British ministers seem very keen to keep the country inside the Galileo programme. Continued collaboration on major science, research and technology initiatives was stated as one of the guiding principles in the Brexit White Paper last year. Galileo was named as an example. No wonder. Satellites were recently touted as one of the "eight great technologies" that could help rebalance a services-heavy economy and deliver strong growth. Indeed, the UK space sector has outperformed the economy as a whole for quite some time now. Esa and the Commission likewise are loath to lose the services of SSTL, which now has unrivalled expertise in what it does. Dropping SSTL on Brexit day would bring programmatic delay, as well as increased risk and cost to Galileo. And remember, this is a project that is already many years behind schedule and substantially beyond the budget originally envisaged for it. The incentives are there on all sides to make something happen, but what? As for so much that's related to Brexit, the clock is ticking. The obvious solution is that the Commission and the UK reach an early deal or some transitional arrangement that allows the German-UK consortium to continue as before, moving components and people seamlessly between them across the Channel. But there is no guarantee at this stage that such an outcome will arrive in time. Some creative solutions have been floated, such as SSTL setting up a subsidiary in an EU-27 member state (perhaps down the road from OHB in Bremen) to conduct sensitive work there; or for it to use its parent company in some way. This is the pan-European aerospace giant Airbus. However, this may not be so straightforward either, not least because in some EU countries only their nationals are permitted to work on classified technologies. This could still frustrate the Guildford team in doing its job. For everyone's sake, a satisfactory outcome must be found. Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies are getting "under the skin" of everyday life, as every smartphone and every prototype driverless car will testify. And there are huge economic possibilities that have barely been imagined, let alone tapped. I'm thinking here of the coming "internet of things", where absolutely everything is connected and all elements of a network know precisely where they are in relation to each other - even inside buildings and underground. It's reckoned that by 2030, the global market in navigation services, equipment and applications will be worth some €250bn a year. As a developed, hi-tech bloc, Europe should expect to take a third share in that activity - about €70-80bn annually. It’s nowhere near that level currently. It can and should be doing better. And it's part of the reason why the UK delegation that turned up to the Esa ministerial meeting in Lucerne, Switzerland, in December, committed more money than any other nation to the agency's future PNT programme. It's going to look a bit strange if the country most invested in helping to scope the next-generation of Galileo suddenly finds itself not fully inside the first generation. *Esa and the EU are separate legal entities, although they share many of the same member states. They cooperate under a framework agreement. The Commission relies on the technical competence of Esa to manage the EU's two big space programmes - Galileo and the Copernicus Sentinel Earth-observation satellites. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk and follow me on Twitter: @BBCAmos In a regulatory filing, the iPhone-maker's head said he would get a salary of $1.4m and a bonus of $2.8m for 2012. Most of his money from 2011 came from a grant of shares awarded for becoming the chief executive, and Apple said he would not get any new shares. "Mr Cook's target cash compensation remains significantly below the median for CEOs of peer companies," it said. Last year, following the death of co-founder Steve Jobs, Mr Cook received a bonus in the form of stock of more than $370m, making him reportedly the best-paid boss in the US. His base salary was $900,000 in 2011, which has now been increased. His predecessor, Steve Jobs, famously had an annual salary of $1. Mr Cook's salary was raised to $1.4m and he received a bonus of 200% of his salary for exceeding Apple's own targets in a year when its profit grew 61% to $41.7bn and Apple became for a time the most valuable company in the world. "Mr Cook did not receive an RSU [restricted stock unit] award in 2012 in light of the RSU award he received in connection with his promotion to CEO in August 2011," Apple said. It added: "Following a recommendation by Mr Cook to the Compensation Committee, the company adopted stock ownership guidelines for the CEO and the non-employee directors. Under the guidelines, Mr Cook is expected to own shares of company common stock that have a value equal to ten times his base salary." His colleagues received hefty pay packages after a successful year. Bob Mansfield, senior vice president of technologies, will get almost $86m and chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer will receive $68.6m. Earlier this year, Apple's shares reached a high of more than $700, making the company the world's most valuable firm. Apple's share price has dropped 24% in the last three months and is now around $515 a share. The event recalled 18 August 1940, when Bromley's Biggin Hill and other South East military bases came under attack from the German Luftwaffe. It became known as the "hardest day" as both sides recorded their greatest loss of aircraft during the battle. The Battle of Britain lasted throughout the summer of 1940. It was the first major campaign fought entirely in the air. What a sight. Watching those iconic World War Two aircraft take to the skies above Biggin Hill was something to behold. Spectators gasped as they then circled the airfield in formation. The roar of the Merlin engines and the grace with which the Hurricane and especially the Spitfires, climb, bank, dive and weave through the air is a joy to behold. All the aircraft have now landed with spectators invited to see them up close and take pictures. And although they are beautiful to look at on the ground, it is in the sky where they truly shine. Live updates The Luftwaffe flew 850 sorties, involving 2,200 aircrew, while the RAF resisted with 927 sorties, involving 600 aircrew. The RAF and German Air Force lost 136 aircraft in one day. The special commemoration, staged from the former RAF airfield at Biggin Hill, now a commercial airport, honours the pilots, engineers, armourers, operations staff and ground crews who faced attack that day. 1,023 aircraft lost by RAF 1,887 aircraft lost by Luftwaffe 3,000 aircrew served with RAF Fighter Command 20% were from the British Dominions and occupied European or neutral countries 544 RAF Fighter Command pilots were killed 2,500 Luftwaffe aircrew were killed BBC iWonder - Why do we love the Spitfire? More than 3,000 spectators went to Biggin Hill to see the aircraft including squadron leader Tony Pickering who flew on the "Hardest Day". He said: "I don't think I was ever afraid. You've got to make sure you don't get too enthusiastic. You couldn't take on the German air force by yourself. "It's lovely to see these aircraft. Beautifully designed aircraft and there's no doubt about it. The people who made them... they did a good job." Will Curtis, managing director of Biggin Hill Airport, said it was remarkable that the Spitfire was "still a joy to fly", adding that "real credit" goes to its designer RJ Mitchell. He said: "It is as finely tuned and as well-balanced, if not better balanced, than a modern aircraft." The day was marked with three flight formations, which took off from the airport at 13:00 BST: On 10 July, aircraft including Hurricanes and Typhoons took part in a flypast over Buckingham Palace as part of the 75th anniversary. It said there had been a "serious failure" by Sweden's prosecutor to complete an inquiry into sexual assault allegations dating back to 2010. Mr Assange has been confined to the Ecuadorean embassy, where he has asylum, for nearly five years. He fears he will be extradited to the US if he leaves the building. The Australian national is concerned the US may seek his arrest over Wikileaks' release of 500,000 secret military files on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Q&A: Julian Assange and the law The sex assault accusations - which Mr Assange denies - relate to a visit he made to Stockholm to give a lecture in 2010. He is accused of raping a woman, named in legal papers as SW, at her home in August that year. But Mr Assange says the sex was consensual and believes the allegations are politically motivated. In December last year, Sweden's chief prosecutor travelled to London to question the Wikileaks founder for the first time over the case, although no details of the meeting were released. In a letter sent to the Swedish government this week, the Ecuadorean authorities accused the chief prosecutor there of a "lack of initiative". It also raised recent comments from members of US President Donald Trump's administration on the case, including CIA boss Mike Pompeo who described Wikileaks as a "hostile intelligence service", suggesting this constituted an "obvious risk" for Mr Assange. Last month, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said arresting Mr Assange was a "priority". However, there was no official confirmation from the US justice department at the time about impending charges. British police say he will be arrested if he leaves the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he is beyond the reach of the UK authorities. Part of the Swedish investigations were dropped in 2015 because of a statute of limitations. The facility at Newcastle Science Central will have a flexible auditorium and lecture theatre for 2,200 Newcastle University students. Pro-vice-chancellor Prof Suzanne Cholerton said the facility would provide an "excellent environment" for learning and research. The £350m hub is based on the site of the old Scottish and Newcastle brewery. The new building will have a "sustainable urban drainage system" to hold back rainwater running off the site. It will also house an exhibition space and a number of seminar rooms. Design team Sheppard Robson said it had a "strident design that resonates both with the campus context and the city's history of scientific innovation". Media playback is not supported on this device Telford admits players were initially "wary" of being released as early as December, when taken over as part of Hardy's purchase of Notts' men's side. "To leave it this late, we are all now left in a boat sinking quite quickly," she told BBC East Midlands Today. Hardy says he "left no stone unturned" to try to save the club from folding. A number of players had been housed in club-funded accommodation as part of their contracts with the Women's Super League One side, who finished sixth last season. "No player will be evicted from the houses. If it takes three months, four months, five months, I will personally stand by their houses," Hardy added. "I'm absolutely devastated and gutted that we have to say goodbye to the club, but I can't afford it." Notts' players were told the WSL 1 club would cease to exist only moments before Friday's announcement and just two days before their first scheduled league game of 2017, away to Arsenal on Sunday. A winding-up petition against the women's team had been adjourned twice, in February and March, with the English top-flight side owing debts to Revenue and Customs. Notts and Wales midfielder Angharad James told BBC Radio Wales: "It's a devastating day. We were only told five minutes prior to it going out on social media. It is not a good day for women's football all round. "We're jobless and we're homeless. As cliche as that sounds, it's the truth. We've got to deal with it now and hopefully things will come into place. "We knew there were issues at the start of the season, with regards to finances at the women's side, but we'd been told that was all going to be sorted and that the majority had been sorted. "From our perspective we knew nothing else. We had signed players; we bought new players in from other clubs. So everything looked fine. "The majority of clubs will be full now and will have blown their budgets as well. We're hoping that some clubs might still have room for players. It might be that I don't have a club for six months and I'll have to find another job." A statement from the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said: "The decision to put the club into the hands of a liquidator just days before the start of the season is clearly devastating for our members and the WSL 1 as a competition. "The PFA has been in contact with our delegate at the club and provided information to our members on the impact of the club's actions on their contracts. "We have also been in discussions with the FA and FAWSL to ensure that players can register with other clubs outside of the transfer window given the exceptional circumstances the players find themselves in due to no fault of their own. "We will continue to provide support and guidance in an attempt to obtain the best possible outcome for our members." A Football Association spokesperson said: "The FA is aware of the situation and is liaising with all involved parties. "Our priority is the welfare of the players and we will work closely with them, the PFA and wider stakeholders to support them through this time." England boss Mark Sampson has been in touch with Notts' England players to offer support, the BBC understands. Telford, who has made seven senior appearances for England and is part of the squad for Euro 2017, added: "I'll have to sort something quickly because there is the Euros to prepare for and finding a club to keep playing football. "I feel just a bit numb. At first I was in shock, it didn't seem real. "Then you look around the room seeing people are upset, people crying, livelihoods ruined, people homeless and jobless." Notts players have also been critical of Hardy for not meeting them in person on Friday to deliver the news of the club's liquidation himself. "Time is a great thing, and I deeply regret not being able to be there," local businessman Hardy added to BBC East Midlands Today. "Very rarely do my family take priority over football but they have been away for 10 days and unfortunately I had to collect them from Gatwick Airport at 10:00 BST this morning. It is unfortunate that it coincided with this day." Many of the players could now face difficulty finding new clubs so close to the new season, as other WSL 1 sides may well have allocated their budgets for the Spring Series. WSL clubs are allowed to register up to 40 players in their squad for the campaign. "To leave it so late and leave girls in the predicament he has is the hardest thing," Telford continued. "We get his situation, he doesn't see it as a feasible business. But to leave it this late when the takeover was done so long ago, to now come to the conclusion two days before kick-off that he doesn't want to do it anymore is heartbreaking. "He could have released us, got rid of us when the takeover was happening. We were wary of not being kept on then. We could have gone in the transfer window, found another club and settled." Hardy responded: "We were having conversations and meeting with the big universities to see what sponsorship and support they could give us. "I was optimistic as long as I could be and I always hoped something would be around the corner, but eventually I arrived at dead ends everywhere and that was a very sad day for me." BBC broadcaster Jacqui Oatley told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I'm not surprised that it's happening but I'm very surprised by the timing. You don't expect it to happen two days before the start of the Spring Series. "I know that most parties involved thought they would at least be OK for this season. It is a very big shock for everybody. "Just when you feel (the women's game) is making progress, it's a huge shock." Full details are not yet known, but it is thought the cap would probably be on standard variable tariffs (SVT). But British Gas parent firm Centrica, and fellow supplier E.On both said market competition was essential. And trade association body Energy UK said a cap could risk "billions in investment and jobs". Scottish Power said that if the Conservatives were going to intervene it would be better to abolish standard variable tariffs, which they said were the cause of the problem not just the symptom of current price pressure. "As Scottish Power recommended to the Competition and Markets Authority, a deadline should be set to abolish SVT so that all customers can engage even more in the competitive market." There were further misgivings from price comparison site uSwitch.com which said "heavy-handed" price intervention could have the unintended effect of leaving consumers worse off. A price cap has already been introduced for households using pre-payment meters earlier this month - prompted by the release of a report by the Competition and Markets Authority which said customers were overpaying by £1.4bn. But that report also said it had been found that previous market interventions in the energy sector had contributed to lower switching rates and "softening competition". Analysis: Joe Lynam, BBC business correspondent After a two-year-long investigation, the Competition and Markets Authority published its final report last June into the energy sector. Much to the chagrin of those who feel that Britain's energy market is rigged and that prices are unnecessarily high, the CMA found that competition was in fact working. It suggested a number of remedies to improve things but steered clear of outright price caps - with the exception of the pre-paid energy meter market. The government, regulators and especially smaller energy firms are all agreed that regular switching is the key to driving up competition and driving down prices. And although a record 7.7 million people changed their energy suppliers last year, 56% of households still have never switched. After the Conservatives suggested some sort of price caps, the aggregators uSwitch said that caps would do more harm than good because it would lead to even fewer people switching energy suppliers, because they may feel changing to be no longer necessary. The law of unintended consequences would prevail again. Under the price cap being promised by the Conservatives, consumers will benefit if wholesale prices fall. But the Tories say that their policy is different from one proposed by Labour under its former leader, Ed Miliband. "We would have [market watchdog] Ofgem setting the limit, so it would be a cap, so it would be more flexible, it would be able to reflect market conditions - so the market would still have an influence," the Work and Pensions Secretary, Damian Green, told ITV's Peston on Sunday. "And that would mean in practical terms that if the oil price fell again then consumers would benefit in a way they wouldn't have done under Ed Miliband's proposal." Iain Conn, chief executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas, said the UK energy market was highly competitive, with more than 50 suppliers. "Price regulation will result in reduced competition and choice, stifle innovation and potentially impact customer service," he said. He said his firm's average dual-fuel bills over the decade since 2007 had increased by just over 3% per annum, or £273 per household. He said of this figure, transmission, distribution and metering cost increases have been about £150, and environmental and social policy costs about £100. "Our profits have been flat to slightly falling. Increases have been because of the costs of changing the energy system and policy costs, not profiteering from suppliers." Energy firm E.On said it did not want to comment on the government's proposal without seeing the full details. But they added: "We firmly believe that engaged consumers and a competitive market are the best way to deliver for customers." Meanwhile Lawrence Slade, chief executive of Energy UK, said that last year the government's competition regulator decided against introducing a wider price cap, instead opting for the pre-payment cap. "Intervening further would undermine so many of the positive changes that we are seeing in the retail market. It would be giving up on competition, and at a time when we need engaged consumers more than ever. "Intervention on this scale will additionally create huge uncertainty around government intentions, potentially putting at risk the billions in investment and jobs needed to renew our energy system. He added that competition should drive innovation, while ensuring that there was targeted support for those customers most in need. And Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at uSwitch.com, said a price cap on standard variable tariffs "would do more harm than good". "Price caps may sound like a magic bullet, but heavy-handed price intervention could have the unintended effect of leaving consumers worse off. "Instead of lowering bills, previous market interventions in the energy sector have led to lower switching rates and higher prices - a finding backed by the Competition and Markets Authority in its energy market investigation." Energy firms Npower and EDF said they would not be making a response at the moment. The island hosts the tournament this year, having won it when it was last played in Malaysia in 2014. Jersey went on to be relegated from World Cricket League Division Four later in 2014. "What we're thinking about is getting up to World League Four and that's our sole focus," MacRae told BBC Jersey. "It's exciting times now that we've got a settled squad with a lot of young players and a big tournament at home." The island's last tournament was the ICC World Twenty20 qualifying tournament, where the island finished second-from-bottom of their group. But MacRae feels the experience of playing against the best non-Test-playing nations will stand his side in good stead. "We've got the potential to move forward through the divisions," he said. "Because of the nature of the tournament cricket that we play, we don't like to look too far ahead. We think we've got a strong squad going into Division Five - we want to win that tournament and move to Division Four. "Division Three is a possibility. We played against sides in Division One during the T20 tournament in Ireland last summer and held our own, so the difference in standard isn't necessarily the only factor, timing's a big issue as well in terms of having your full squad at tournaments." St Helens forward Mark Flanagan, Widnes prop Phil Joseph, Huddersfield prop Craig Kopczak and Warrington half-back Gareth O'Brien will join next season. North Queensland stand-off Robert Lui and Penrith Panthers prop Ben Murdoch-Masila have signed from NRL clubs. Prop Olsi Krasniqi has agreed a two-year deal after joining in June. Sheens, 64, coached Australia to World Cup victory in 2013 and joined Salford permanently in June after an initial advisory role. He could not stop Salford finishing in the bottom four, but after head coach Iestyn Harris left he assisted Ian Watson as they secured a Super League place for next season by finishing third in The Qualifiers. Watson will remain in charge of the team, with help from Sheens, Garreth Carvell and Martin Gleeson. Sheens said of Salford's new additions: "The club has been working on a number of major signings in recent months and we are now in a position to make these announcements now our Super League status has been confirmed. "I have been greatly impressed by the desire and the commitment of these players to join the club and they are all very determined to develop their careers further as the club continues to build," he told the club website.

O'Neill, 46, appointed in December 2011, will become the highest-paid manager in Northern Ireland's history. In June, Northern Ireland will play in the final stages of a major tournament for the first time since 1986. Uncapped duo named in Northern Ireland squad The contract extension, which will begin after Euro 2016, will include a release clause which would see the IFA being entitled to compensation if O'Neill was to be lured into club management. Last October, O'Neill told BBC Sport his preference was for a four-year deal, rather than the IFA's usual two-year policy. O'Neill's side won their qualifying group, finishing ahead of Romania and Hungary. The team won six and lost one of their 10 games. They will face matches against Poland, Ukraine and Germany at the finals in France, with the first match on 12 June. O'Neill became Northern Ireland manager in December 2011 after taking League of Ireland club Shamrock Rovers to the Europa League group stages. In December, the former international midfielder was named coach of the year at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony. The life of patients with prostate cancer could be prolonged by up to two years by combining hormone therapy with a drug, researchers believe. The Wales Cancer Research Centre was involved in a trial of 1,776 men. The results were revealed earlier this year but have now been published in The Lancet. It claimed patients who took a chemotherapy drug alongside hormone therapy lived, on average, 10 months longer. Study vice chairman Prof Malcolm Mason said he was "thrilled to see such positive results". The international research study is called Stampede - or Systemic Therapy in Advancing or Metastatic Prostate cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy. Nearly 20,000 people have prostate cancer in Wales and more patients took part in the research from Wales than any other area. Hormone therapy is used to stop a tumour growing but in most cases, over time, it starts to grow again. The trial has looked at using other treatments in combination with it. The drug Docetaxel was used alongside hormone or radio therapy in 1,184 of the trial patients. It was compared with the results of 592 men who received the standard therapy. The drug is commonly used and is inexpensive, although it has temporary chemotherapy side-effects. It is usually prescribed when therapy has failed. Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff has been one of the main participants in the research. Prof Mason of the Wales Cancer Research Centre said: "In Wales, we put more patients into this trial than any other region, so this is really a big success for NHS Wales. "Based on the results, we would recommend that Docetaxel should be incorporated into the standard of care for men with metastatic prostate cancer who are starting long-term hormone therapy for the first time and are fit enough to receive chemotherapy." The trial has been financed by Cancer Research UK and five pharmaceutical companies. Prop Tom Rowland, England Under-18 back Iwan Hughes, lock James Dun and centre Matt Welsh have all signed on. Joining them are Wales Under-18 hooker Nick Freeman, back row Dan Thurston an versatile wing Tom Hargan. "This is one of the strongest age groups to have come through the academy set-up for a long time," academy boss Mike Hall told the club website. The 31-year-old was arrested at a business address on Tuesday afternoon. He was detained on suspicion of "being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism". The man is being held in custody in a central London police station, while officers search a residential address in south London. Armed officers were present when the man was arrested, but no shots were fired. The arrest comes during a period of increased counter-terrorism activity. Police have been making about one arrest a day in connection with alleged terror offences, and have been conducting hundreds of investigations. A total of 315 terrorism-related arrests were made in the year ending September 2015, recent Home Office figures revealed - the highest yearly figure on record, and an increase of a third on the previous year. The data also showed that the number of women and girls being detained had more than doubled compared to the previous year. Abbott Laboratories encouraged its sales teams to market Depakote for uses that were not approved by regulators, the US justice department said. The drug should be used in epilepsy and bipolar disorder cases. However, it was sold to treat conditions such as dementia and autism. According to a US justice department statement, Abbott maintained a specialised sales force to market the drug in nursing homes. It said the drug could be used for the control of agitation in elderly dementia patients, despite the absence of any credible scientific evidence that Depakote was safe and effective for that use. The illegal conduct was not the product of "some rogue sales representatives," US Attorney Timothy Heaphy said. The company engaged in the strategy from 1998 to at least 2006, he said. Reuben Guttman, a lawyer who represented some of the company whistle-blowers, said that Abbott had preyed on two vulnerable categories of patient - the elderly and children. The company "violated basic norms of health care and ethics", he said. The company also marketed Depakote to treat schizophrenia, but clinical trials failed to demonstrate that the drug was any more effective than anti-psychotic drugs in treating the condition, according to court papers. Abbott Laboratories will now pay $800m to federal and state governments, $700m in criminal penalties and a further $100m to resolve consumer protection issues. The company has also agreed to a five-year probationary period to ensure that there is no repeat of the misconduct. As the South African athlete faced charges of "premeditated murder" in a Pretoria courtroom following the shooting dead of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, his sponsors went into crisis-management mode. Nike swiftly pulled the unfortunately-worded ads last week, as the perils of celebrity brand endorsement were brought sharply into focus once again. Mr Pistorius, who has strongly rejected the murder charge, is thought to have earned several million pounds from sponsorships with Nike, BT, Thierry Mugler, Oakley, and Ossur, the Icelandic firm that makes the prosthetic carbon fibre blades he wears for races. But in the brutal world of sports sponsorship, the "Blade Runner" stands to lose everything, even presuming his innocence. On Thursday 21 February, Nike suspended its contact with the athlete, thought to be worth about $2m, saying: "We believe Oscar Pistorius should be afforded due process and we will continue to monitor the situation closely". Fashion house Thierry Mugler, which chose Mr Pistorius as the face of its A*Men fragrance in 2011, also withdrew all its campaigns featuring the athlete on Wednesday. Another of Mr Pistorius' sponsors, M-Net Movies, a South African pay TV channel, pulled its TV ad campaign featuring the athlete, last week tweeting: "Out of respect and sympathy to the bereaved, M-Net will be pulling its entire Oscar campaign featuring Oscar Pistorius with immediate effect." John Taylor, director of a sports sponsorship company and a veteran of the industry, told the BBC: "Even if Pistorius is found innocent, he is damaged goods. Brands need to act quickly and distance themselves from him; they cannot afford to wait until the case is heard. "It's not like rats deserting a sinking ship, it's just the sensible thing to do." Nigel Currie, director of sports marketing agency Brand Rapport, agrees, saying: "This is very different to the Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong cases; this is life and death. There's no coming back from this." Telecommunications group BT, which was recently shortlisted in the Best Sponsorship of a Sport Team or Individual category of the Sport Industry Awards 2013 for its campaign featuring Mr Pistorius, said: "Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy. Given the ongoing legal proceedings, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further." Ossur said it was "highly premature" to make any decisions regarding its relationship with him. Even his South African management agency was saying little on Friday last week. Peet van Zyl, joint managing director of In-Site Athlete Management, told the BBC: "Oscar has been my client for six years. It's my business to know how much he earns in sponsorships, but we're not in any position to give you any comment at the moment given the sensitivity of the situation." The global sponsorship industry is worth an estimated $50bn (£32.2bn; 36.4bn euros) a year, according to consultancy IEG, with more than 80% of that being spent on sports. Nike, which makes annual revenues of over $24bn, spends tens of millions of dollars on sports sponsorships a year. For example, its recent sponsorship deal with Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irish golfer, will reportedly cost the company $100m to $125m (£62m to £77m) over five years. When its previous brand ambassador, golf titan Tiger Woods, was exposed as a philanderer in 2009, Nike stuck by him even though many other brands cast him adrift. "Nike's whole golf proposition was built around him. They had spent millions of dollars and simply couldn't afford to drop him", says Alan Ferguson, managing director of The Sports Business, a sports marketing consultancy. Nike chooses sports stars that seem to embody and reinforce its high-energy brand. "My body is my weapon. This is how I fight," says one video featuring Mr Pistorius and other South African athletes. Its 2012 annual report contained a headline: "We are on the offense. Always." As Oscar Pistorius demonstrated values of tenacity, valour and triumph over adversity, it made him an obvious fit with the sportswear giant. But in the light of recent events, Mr Ferguson warns: "I think many brands will be taking stock and re-evaluating their celebrity endorsements now. At the very least they will be doing more detailed background checks on their sports stars." Tattooed on Oscar Pistorius' back is a quotation from St Paul's first letter to the Corinthians (9: 26-27): "Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." In the unforgiving, hard cash world of sports sponsorship, Mr Pistorius could find himself being disqualified, whether innocent or guilty. The new directive brings new definitions to "dressing decently". Women are not allowed to: While men must: Adah Muwanga, human resources director at the Public Service Ministry, said the new circular was needed because of complaints - especially about female public officers - from male counterparts, who say "body parts should be covered". Civil servants are made aware of the dress rules at induction, says Moses Sempiira, a teacher. "Each profession has got its code of conduct. "When you're at work, you have to dress up the way you're expected. "I have no problem with it." However, Rita Achiro, head of the Uganda Women's Network, describes the order as a diversionary move. "How does dress code affect service delivery?" she asks. "What Ugandans need are more teachers and nurses. "We have high maternal mortality, children in schools without teachers. "I don't see how the banning of mini-skirts and bright-coloured shirts is going to fix that." The debate on hemlines and neck-ties has gone beyond the formal setting of the public service. In May, photos of two Makerere University students were shared widely on Facebook, with many Ugandans criticising them for wearing revealing skirts to a party. Rebecca Naddamba, one of the two young women in the photos, was a final-year education student. She was dressed in a two-piece red outfit, with a long skirt made up of strips of cloth, showing her legs. "People have asked me whether I am sane. Some said I shouldn't be allowed to become a teacher," she says. The university wrote to her, citing "misconduct at a university function" and asking her to explain why she should not face disciplinary action. Ms Nadamba thinks dressing should simply be about appropriateness. "I am looking forward to becoming a teacher. I will tell my students that there is a difference between dressing for a classroom, a place of work and a party." Her case raised questions on whether Uganda, as a society, spends too much time and effort nit-picking what people should and should not wear. "If decency was contained in clothes, we would spot a rapist or a corrupt politician from miles away" Lawyer and activist Patience Akumu calls it the "institutionalisation" of the policing of women's bodies. She thinks that public entities like Makerere University "shouldn't pick and choose when to moralise". "Recently a girl jumped out of a window to near-death, after a friend allegedly tried to rape her," she continues. "Makerere did not issue a statement. Why are they now suddenly enraged?" Uganda is caught up in rapid social change. It takes only a short time for the latest trends seen in American films and pop music videos to arrive on the streets of Kampala. Ripped jeans, crop-tops, micro-minis and tight trousers for men are everywhere. On one side of life is the tabloid press, which thrives on daily pictures of half-naked women and columns about sex exploits. On the other, you have government officials telling people to cover up. And there has been a spate of attacks on women deemed to be wearing clothes that are too revealing. Lindsey Kukunda, an artist and writer, thinks it is an obsession with culture and religion - a fusion that oppresses women. "If you're a woman, your decency is in your clothes. "If decency was contained in clothes, we would spot a rapist or a corrupt politician from miles away," she argues. The founder of Not Your Body, an online movement that documents incidents of harassment, Ms Kukunda has herself been a victim on Kampala's streets. "About a year ago, I was standing on the roadside waiting for a friend to pick me up. I was wearing shorts. "Men started calling me a prostitute. I sought help from a traffic cop, who looked me up and down and said: 'Well, isn't that what you want?'" For her, this is a sign that those in authority constantly promote the thinking that women should be questioned, or even punished, for their clothes. Mrs Muwanga, from the Public Service ministry, says wearing a mini-skirt to work is tantamount to sexually harassing male colleagues, and if the new orders are violated, public officers are likely to face disciplinary action. Ms Kukunda says her online movement is against this sort of thing. "If there were more Lindsey Kukundas saying: 'No, I will not let you inconvenience me because your eyes have a problem with my dimpled knees', the people who push this attitude will start to keep quiet." Radio presenter and social critic James Onen believes men and women should wear whatever they want, but should accept the consequences of their choices. "It is universally accepted that there are a certain set of physical attributes that men generally find appealing in women. "When a woman dresses in such a way as to call attention to those physical attributes, it's difficult for most people not to view it as deliberate action to draw attention," he says. Uganda's Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Fr Simon Lokodo, referred me to the 2014 Anti-Pornography Act, when contacted for an interview. But the law says nothing about a national dress code. Confusion over a clause that was removed before the bill became law, led to incidents of Ugandan women being publicly undressed. When a group of women tried to get to the parliament building to protest against the public strippings, they were surrounded by heavily armed anti-riot police. Ms Akumu, who was among the protesters, says little has changed since the grossly misinterpreted law was passed. Ms Achiro, from the Uganda Women's Network, refers to the new public service directive as a celebration of being colonised. "We are insisting on neckties and suits. What does a man who likes to wear his African-batik shirt do? "Our rights are being taken away piece by piece and soon we will have no space to speak," she says. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) data suggests the number of people who cohabit has doubled to 2.9 million since 1996. This includes both heterosexual partners and same-sex couples who have not had a civil partnership ceremony. There are 12.2 million married couples, down 457,000 over the same period. The statistics were contained in the Labour Force Survey - a study of households in the UK - which encompassed 102,421 individuals in 43,642 homes between April and June 2012. The number of people aged 35 to 44 who cohabit increased from 7% to 15%. "This may be related to the increasing age at marriage," the report stated. Its findings included: Some 38% of married couples have dependent children, and 39% of cohabiting different-sex couples have dependent children. The report notes: "Although married couples are more likely to have children than cohabiting couples, they tend to be older on average than their cohabiting counterparts so children may be older and have left home. "Cohabiting couples are more likely to be in the right age groups for childbearing. "These two competing factors of age and likelihood of childbearing mean that a very similar percentage of married couples and opposite-sex cohabiting couples have dependent children." There are now two million lone parents in the UK, up from 1.6 million, the survey suggests. Some 29% of households are made up of only one person, while almost 20% are families of four or more people.

That report, published last month, detailed a state-sponsored doping programme operated by Russia. Rio's Paralympics begin on 7 September, with 267 Russian competitors across 18 sports set to miss the Games. The appeal hearing is set for 21 August with a decision expected on 22 August. The IPC's decision was in contrast to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which chose not to hand Russia a blanket ban from the Olympic Games. Announcing the decision, IPC president Sir Philip Craven said Russia's anti-doping system was "broken, corrupted and entirely compromised". In response, Russian Paralympic Committee president Vladimir Lukin said his group was "not even mentioned" in the McLaren report and this action would mean "lives are broken". "Inevitably, suspicions arise that this is provoked by something unsportsmanlike, something else," he added. "We absolutely do not want to quarrel, get carried away with emotions. Only the weak get carried away with emotions. "We will stand our ground in a civilised way." Richard McLaren, a Canadian law professor, published a report that found Russia's sports ministry manipulated urine samples provided by its athletes between 2011 and 2015. The report identified 27 samples relating to eight Para-sports, five of which are summer sports, including some governed by the IPC. The IPC also found evidence that samples were swapped during the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games, adding that it planned to reanalyse every Russian sample given at the event The IPC allowed the Russian Paralympic Committee to present its case before it decided on the ban. The IOC was widely criticised for ignoring the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) recommendation to ban Russia from the Rio Olympics. Instead, each individual sporting federation was given the power to decide if Russian competitors were clean to compete. A three-person IOC panel then had the final say. In the end, more than 270 Russian athletes were cleared to compete at the Olympics. A review of the Congolese deployment pointed to "systemic problems", a statement said. The UN peacekeeping force in the CAR has faced scores of allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation. Almost 13,000 people are serving as part of the mission, known as Minusca. French troops have also been accused of sex abuse in CAR. Charges were dropped against six French soldiers earlier this year, however another investigation remains open. UN peacekeepers were deployed in 2014, with the CAR in turmoil after mainly Muslim rebels ousted President Francois Bozize, sparking a backlash from largely Christian militias. Thousands have been killed in the violence that followed, with hundreds of thousands fleeing to neighbouring countries. The UN said the review of the Congo-Brazzaville deployment found "the nature and extent of existing allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse, in their totality, point to systemic problems in command and control". "These problems have also been compounded by issues related to the preparedness, overall discipline, maintenance of contingent-owned equipment, and logistical capacity of these troops," it added. A smaller contingent of police from the same force will stay on, the UN said. With allegations of sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers, including against children, continuing to emerge, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has promised a "new approach" to tackle the issue. It is up to the countries who contribute troops to prosecute criminal cases, but guilty verdicts might not be in a nation's best interests as that would taint its reputation in peacekeeping, the BBC's Africa security correspondent Tomi Oladipo says. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said "Britain has always been hostile to us" and the report was "fake". The story was based on newly declassified US government documents from the Cold War. Mr Khamenei suggested they were forged. The original report revealed how Ayatollah Khomeini had courted the Carter administration from exile in Paris to broker his return to Iran. In the official Iranian narrative of the 1979 revolution, Mr Khomeini bravely defied the United States and defeated "the Great Satan" in its efforts to keep the Shah in power. Two Weeks in January: America's secret engagement with Khomeini But the documents showed Khomeini assured the Carter Administration in late January 1979 that the Islamic Republic would not hold "any particular animosity" towards Americans. It also revealed a message to the Kennedy Administration years earlier, in 1963, explaining "he was not opposed to American interests in Iran". "Would America, which downed a civilian plane with about 300 passengers, hesitate to forge a document?" Ayatollah Khamenei said, referring to the controversial shooting down of an Iran Air plane by a US warship in 1988. "This is the way of hostility from the British." He was speaking at an event commemorating the 27th anniversary of Mr Khomeini's death. In the same speech he said Iran and US aims in the region were completely opposed and that Tehran would not cooperate with the US and "evil" Britain on regional issues. At closing, the FTSE 100 index was up 147.52 points, or 2.47%, at 6,100.01, with similar gains being seen in other major European markets. Rising prices of metals and oil helped to boost mining and energy shares. Markets also took heart from a speech by Janet Yellen, in which she said US rates were still set to rise this year. Analysts said her comments indicated that the US economy was still in good shape and could remove some uncertainty over the timing of a US rate rise. Shares in Lloyds Banking Group rose were up 2.26% to 75.5p. The government announced it had sold another 1% tranche in the bank, reducing its holding to below 12%. In the FTSE 250, shares in Synergy Health jumped 42% after a US court ruling raised hopes that its takeover by Steris would go ahead. A federal court in Ohio denied a request by US competition authorities to block the takeover. Shares in energy firm Drax rose 1.04% after it said it was pulling out of a £1bn project to introduce carbon capture technology to cut emissions. Drax said it was halting further investment because of the government's decision to reduce subsidies for renewable energy. On the currency markets, the pound fell 0.4% against the dollar to $1.5175, and also fell 0.15% against the euro to €1.3554. Ex-Barcelona midfielder Guardiola had a trial with City in the summer of 2005 but then-manager Pearce opted not to sign him. Guardiola, 45, will replace current City boss Manuel Pellegrini in June. "If I knew how good he would be as a manager I would have given him my job," Pearce told BBC Radio 5 live. City, whose squad at the time featured the likes of David James, Trevor Sinclair, Joey Barton and Darius Vassell, finished the 2005-06 Premier League season in 15th place. "He trained with us for a few days," said Pearce. "He had been playing in the Middle East, and was looking for a contract. "Smashing fella but, back then, I didn't realise he would be a top manager. We didn't have anything on the playing side but top man, top manager, what an acquisition for City." Guardiola, who was 34 years old in 2005 and eyeing a return to European football after leaving Al-Ahli in Dubai, had made more than 350 appearances for Barcelona between 1990 and 2001, winning the European Cup and six La Liga titles. He went on to play briefly for Mexican side Dorados before taking charge of Barcelona B and later Barcelona. He won 14 trophies in four years at the Nou Camp between 2008 and 2012. He has since won the Bundesliga twice in two seasons in charge of Bayern Munich. The 23-year-old, in his 50th career start, chipped in for a birdie at the 17th to reach 10 under. Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson, without a win since the 2013 Open, holed from off the green to par 18 and is in a three-way share of second. Wales' Jamie Donaldson, the remaining Briton, is nine back after a 69. Berger, the 2015 PGA Rookie of the Year who surged clear of the field at the halfway stage after a 64, briefly lost the lead on day three when he double bogeyed the par three 14th after finding the water. But consecutive birdies from the 16th at the TPC Southwind course revived the round for Berger, who has already has three top-10 finishes this season. Mickelson hit his third shot 22 feet past the hole on the par-four 17th and returned his first bogey in 22 holes, but having driven into a fairway bunker at the last, he rolled in an 18-footer for a round of 68 to remain at seven under. Dustin Johnson, the 2012 winner and the highest-ranked player in the field at sixth in the world, carded a 73 to fall eight adrift.

Joshua Wong, Nathan Law and Alex Chow were initially given non-custodial sentences for their involvement in mass protests in 2014. But last Thursday the court of appeal gave the activists jail terms of between six and eight months. Their supporters say the process was politically motivated. However, the justice department has dismissed such claims as "groundless" and insisted that Hong Kong's judicial independence is beyond question. On Sunday, protesters braved sweltering temperatures to march to Hong Kong's highest court - the Court of Final Appeal - where all three men are expected to take their case. They chanted "Release all political prisoners" while some carried a large banner reading: "It's not a crime to fight against totalitarianism." "This shows that the Hong Kong government, the Chinese communist regime and the department of justice's conspiracy to deter Hong Kong people from continuing to participate in politics and to protest using harsh laws and punishments has completely failed," said protest organiser and former student leader Lester Shum. Another protester, retired teacher Jackson Wai, told AFP news agency: "These young people are our hope for the future. We shouldn't treat them like this." Hong Kong police said about 22,000 people were present at the march at its peak. That is one of the biggest turnouts since the democracy protests of 2014, the BBC's Juliana Liu in Hong Kong reports. In a statement following Saturday's march, the Hong Kong government reiterated that there was no political consideration in the court of appeal's ruling but said it was aware that members of the community had "different views on the judgment". It said the defendants had indicated they would lodge appeals, adding: "The case should be handled in accordance with judicial procedures." Wong, 20, Law, 24 and Chow, 27, were convicted for unlawful assembly in an incident which helped to trigger the mass protests in Hong Kong, known as the Umbrella Movement. They were among a group of student protesters who scaled a fence around Hong Kong's legislative headquarters and occupied the building's courtyard. Their removal by police angered the public and brought tens of thousands of people on to the streets in the following days. The three were sentenced last year to non-prison terms including community service but the justice department, seeking imprisonment, applied for a review. The jail sentences effectively stop them from standing in forthcoming elections. Anyone jailed for more than three months is disqualified from contesting local elections in Hong Kong for five years. Law was elected to Hong Kong's legislature last year, becoming its youngest ever legislator. However, he was disqualified last month when the city's high court ruled that he had improperly taken his oath. Hong Kong's last British governor, Chris Patten, spoke out against the decision to jail the three, writing in a letter to the Financial Times on Saturday: "The names of Joshua Wong, Alex Chow and Nathan Law will be remembered long after the names of those who have persecuted them have been forgotten and swept into the ashcan of history." Amnesty International also criticised the authorities for seeking jail terms for the activists, calling it a "vindictive attack" on freedom of expression. The Hong Kong Bar Association and Law Society have spoken out on the court decision, saying that accusations that the sentence was politically motivated were "unjustified and damaging to our legal system".

Vickilee Galloway, 37, set her dog on Stacey Findlay after the two women started arguing in February last year. Part of Ms Findlay's ear was torn off and a man was also attacked. Galloway admitted assault by inciting her pet to attack Ms Findlay. She was jailed for three years at the High Court in Edinburgh. Judge Lord Kinclaven told her: "There is no alternative to a custodial sentence and it requires to be a significant custodial sentence." The judge ordered that the dog be destroyed, as he was not satisfied it would not constitute a danger to public safety. Galloway had also admitted being the owner of a dog that was so dangerously out of control that it attacked Brian Pennie. Both victims were left with parts of their ears missing and needed hospital treatment. Advocate depute Gillian Ross had previously told the High Court in Aberdeen that the incident happened after Galloway fell out with Ms Findlay while drinking in Mr Pennie's flat. She said: "The accused started telling the complainer that her name was not in fact Stacey." Ms Ross said Galloway then told her pet dog Jake to attack the other woman. She told the court: "She used the words 'get her', 'Jake attack', or something similar. "She was bitten on the arm which caused her to fall to the ground. "The dog then started biting and attacking her left ear." Galloway eventually managed to get the dog under control by grabbing his collar after it injured Mr Pennie and an ambulance was called. Defence counsel Emma Toner said Galloway had been a responsible dog owner in the past. She said: "Her position is she had no expectation that the dog was capable of causing such injuries or would behave in that manner. "The dog was never trained by her to attack anyone." Miss Toner argued that a non-custodial disposal was appropriate for Galloway who was considered suitable for a community payback order. Judge Lord Kinclaven told Galloway, who sat dabbing her eyes throughout the proceedings, that he would also ban her from owning a dog for life. He said: "By your actions you have indicated you are not a fit and proper person to have custody of a dog." Both clubs have also been punished for the throwing of objects by fans and crowd disturbances, with United fined £44,342 and Liverpool £43,577. Liverpool have also been sanctioned for setting off fireworks and a late kick-off, while United were charged for stairways blocked at their stadium. The Anfield side must also pay for damage caused by fans at Old Trafford. Both clubs' fines include £15,290 suspended for two years. Rival fans were seen fighting in the stands, seats were thrown and flares were lit during the 1-1 second-leg draw at Old Trafford, during which five men were arrested. Some fans of both clubs sang songs related to tragedies involving the other side as Liverpool won the tie 3-1 on aggregate. Europe's governing body was made aware of the allegations of chanting about the Munich disaster and the Hillsborough tragedy. In 1958, eight United players were among 23 people who died after their plane caught fire and crashed in Munich. The Hillsborough tragedy saw 96 Liverpool fans die at an FA Cup semi-final tie with Nottingham Forest in 1989. Before the second leg, police had to remove a banner on the M602 motorway in Salford designed to taunt Liverpool fans heading to Old Trafford. The bout has been arranged after Pacquiao's followers on Twitter voted Khan as the opponent they would like to see the Filipino fight next. "This is what the fans wanted," Pacquiao, 38, said on social media. Khan, 30, also confirmed the fight but, although Pacquiao has said his next fight would be in the United Arab Emirates, no venue has been announced. The Briton, who won silver as a lightweight at the 2004 Olympics, beat fellow Briton Kell Brook, Australia's Jeff Horn and American Terence Crawford with 48% of the vote carried out by Pacquiao. Khan's last fight was in May 2016 when he was bknocked out by Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Six-weight world champion Pacquaio retired in April last year but returned to claim his belt by beating Jessie Vargas in November. Oxford say they will not pursue the 25-year-old further after a £300,000 bid was rejected last week. But McGhee is sure others will be watching Johnson, who has been linked with a move to Brighton after scoring four goals in five games this season. "He's a brilliant player and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody like Brighton fancied him," said McGhee. Johnson is under contract until the summer of 2018, having joined the Steelemen from Kidderminster Harriers for an undisclosed fee on the final day of the winter transfer window in 2015. He scored six goals last season. McGhee insists there has been no approach from Brighton, one of his former clubs. "I was at Brighton's game with Lazio last week and I spoke to their chairman and Paul Winstanley [head of recruitment] and neither of them mentioned Marvin Johnson to me. "So it's all speculation. I know these guys very, very well and I can assure you they would speak to me. "Marvin has got to deal with the speculation, we've got to deal with it too. Until somebody makes an offer then it is not really worth the paper it's written on. "I'm not confident either way. But every day that ticks by is one less I have to contend with." Johnson has started the new campaign impressively and McGhee is backing him to remain consistent despite the uncertainty. "He is a boy who doesn't really let these things distract him," the manager explained. "He should perform all right, although in the background his head will be churning a wee bit at the possibilities. "I've spoken to him a couple of times and reassured him that we are looking after his best interests as well. If there are developments then we will talk to him." Hydro Industries, based in Llangennech, will work to improve water treatment in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new jobs will be needed to help fill orders to the UAE. Speaking on a visit to the company, Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said: "Hydro Industries is a great example of Welsh innovation at its best. "The positive impact its growth is set to bring to the supply chain industries is great news for the Welsh economy." Fans are torn between being stunned by the major plot developments and heartbroken that the episode could be the last one on our screens until 2019. That's when the fantasy epic, based on George RR Martin's books, is rumoured to be coming back one last time. The finale was shown in the US on Sunday, and broadcast in the UK on Monday. So what have critics said? The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg said The Dragon and the Wolf episode had "action, twists and just a little incest". Which all sounds pretty standard for Game of Thrones. In a series that has often been "dumb", it was a "satisfying as heck" conclusion, with the storylines between Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, and Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke, coming to a climax - if you can excuse the pun. "The finale worked better than most of the rest of the season for me because while it lacked not for dragons, it also delivered one great two-person chamber scene after another," wrote Fienberg. Ed Power, writing in the Daily Telegraph, was a fan of the "solid 80 minutes of betrayal, nudity and skulduggery in dimly-lit rooms". "It was good to welcome the old, happy-stabby Game of Thrones back with a vengeful gleam in its eyes," he mused, describing it as a "dark and slow-burning instalment". But he noted that the revelation about Jon Snow's parentage was "presented as an interesting nugget rather than continent-quaking pivot". On that note - in the New York Times, Jeremy Egner had some good and bad news for Snow. "The good news is, you're not actually a bastard... The bad news? Say hi to your aunt." Ouch. Egner noted, though, that the finale "didn't offer much in the way of surprise" and "largely checked off boxes that have been broadly telegraphed throughout the season". Sean T Collins, of Rolling Stone, said there were "moments of happiness and horror straight out of the biggest GoT nerd's dreams", and that it was quite right that "the lion's share of screentime" went to Cersei Lannister. He said the storyline had been "hurtling to a point of no return", adding: "The lies, betrayals, power plays, and murders we've witnessed for seven years, and which still continue in this episode - they are all a distraction. We're all in this together, and we'd better realize it ASAP." Christopher Hooten complained that the seventh series has become "bonkers and Top Trumps-esque", but wrote in the Independent: "When it looks this gorgeous, the dialogue exchanges are this pithy and the action is this jaw-dropping and enthralling, it's hard to be mad about it. "At some point in season eight, a living dragon is going to fight a dead dragon, jets of blue and red flame meeting in the middle like in a Manga, while dead giants and dead horses do battle with multiple races of men. And I will be there." Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts, or on Instagram at bbcnewsents. If you have a story suggestion email entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk. But three days later, they realised it wasn't typhoid - it was the deadly Ebola virus. This delay, says Dr Jude Senguku, meant that his flatmate - the hospital's senior surgeon - caught the disease from the woman and died, along with two nursing staff. It was a harsh lesson in the crucial importance of fast - and accurate - diagnostics. Mis-diagnosis, panic and misinformation led to people in Liberia staying away from hospital, he says. Some would misrepresent their symptoms to avoid being sent to Ebola isolation units. "To rule out - and rapidly screen for - Ebola became important," says Dr Senguku. Fortunately, Redemption Hospital received one of the first machines for Ebola testing - a piece of kit called GeneXpert that could provide a cheap and accurate diagnosis within 90 minutes. Given that Liberia had only 50 doctors for 4.3 million people at the outbreak of the epidemic, such easy-to-use equipment proved crucial in the fight to contain the disease. As it was, Liberia was hit hard, officially recording 4,809 deaths from Ebola, the most anywhere in the disease's 2014-2016 outbreak. Since then, Dr Senguku says the diagnostic technology has been "very critical" in reducing false Ebola scares and restoring confidence among the people of Monrovia. Dr David Persing, who created the rapid diagnostic test, is executive vice president of Cepheid, a Silicon Valley-based biotechnology company. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributed $3.5m (£2.7m) to the project. Simply put, the machine measures the nucleic acid in a patient's specimen - spit, say - and detects a disease's signature DNA sequence. This method, called a nucleic acid amplification test, can detect extremely low levels of a pathogen, along with drug-resistant variants. The test cartridge costs $10 for poorer countries, while the machine itself costs about $17,000. Portable, low-energy diagnostic kits that are easy to operate are particularly important in areas with limited access to power or expensive laboratory equipment. Simple malaria tests detecting antigens, and HIV tests which look for antibodies - like those developed by Massachusetts-based medical technology company Alere - can test "rapidly far from a lab", says Dr Megan Coffee, an infectious disease specialist and technical advisor at the International Rescue Committee. She says many of these "point of care" tests - most of which consist of a membrane in a plastic cassette - are as "easy to use as a pregnancy test stick, which require no electricity, no refills, and can be carried and used by mobile community health workers." This is useful for big mining companies and other major employers. For example, gold miner Randgold Resources' Loulo-Gounkoto mine is a five or six hour drive away from the nearest Ebola assessment centre, says Dr Haladou Mahaman Manirou, who works for the company. An on-site clinic monitors employees and people from neighbouring villages. Along with Ebola, other infectious diseases, like malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis, are the "main burden" on his employees' health, says Dr Manirou. Malaria affected 39% of Randgold's workforce in 2015. The figure was 69% in 2011. A 15-minute diagnostic test, developed by Flow, a US biotechnology company, has helped quickly identify and treat cases, he says. And now the next step for diagnostic technology is to "test for multiple causes of, say, a fever", she says. For example, Singapore-based medical technology company STMicroelectronics has developed a "Lab-on-Chip" platform, which is the size of a fingernail and can test for multiple tropical diseases in a single blood sample. The lab on a chip is slightly more expensive than a GeneXpert cartridge - roughly $100 - but doesn't require a machine. As well as on-the-spot testing, diagnoses can also take place thousands of miles away, thanks to internet technology. Global Health Telemedicine, for example, run by Dr Michelangelo Bartolo, director of telemedicine at San Giovanni Hospital in Rome, has connected doctors in 19 health centres in Africa with 100 volunteer specialists in Europe. The average response time is "about three hours", says Dr Bartolo. In two years of operation, there have been 3,500 "tele-consultations", including 1,300 electrocardiograms. His software includes a feature to allow African doctors to fill out information when offline, too, which is a useful feature in areas with patchy connectivity. But battling the next epidemic after Ebola will require being faster off the block, says Dr Persing. "To get started on test development in the middle of an epidemic just doesn't work," he says, adding his company doesn't have test cartridges for Zika, Lassa Fever, or "all the things that could come up". A "just-in-time delivery" model would work better, he says. If world health officials designated a list of critical infectious diseases, businesses like his could pre-manufacture and pre-validate agents for the test, and get regulatory approval for them, he believes. "If you have an epidemic, you don't want to wait for six months or a year to have a test available," says Dr Persing. Speedy diagnostics can also help measure the effectiveness of health campaigns, argues Prof David Alland, chief of infectious diseases at Rutgers Medical School. "In some parts of Africa, it was thought major malaria intervention programmes weren't working," he says. But it turned out doctors were incorrectly diagnosing malaria based on patients' clinical symptoms. More accurate diagnostic technology showed anti-malaria programmes were actually more effective than people believed. So the more we know, and the quicker we know it, the more lives we can save. Follow Technology of Business editor Matthew Wall on Twitter Click here for more Technology of Business features BBC Sport has learned the Crystal Palace midfielder has a hamstring injury, and could be a doubt for the home game against Israel in Sunday. Wales are already without Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen, West Brom defender James Chester and Nottingham Forest's David Vaughan. Wolverhampton Wanderers' Dave Edwards is likely to take Ledley's place in the starting line-up. A win in Nicosia tonight would put Wales on the brink of qualifying for the final stages of a tournament for the first time since 1958. "There's been no official confirmation yet but I understand Joe Ledley is out of tonight's game," said BBC Wales football correspondent Rob Phillips. "His absence will be a huge blow for Wales because he can play that holding midfield role. Chris Coleman is already missing Liverpool's Joe Allen who is out of this game with suspension and out of Sunday's match injured. "The hole created by Ledley's absence is expected to be filled by the Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards, whose last game for his country was in Novi Sad - that 6-1 defeat inflicted by Serbia - but he's always been a reliable performer for Wales. "Jazz Richards, who's left Swansea for Fulham, is expected to be at right wing back, a return on the cards too in that defence for Ben Davies so the Welsh team should be: Wayne Hennessy, winning his 50th cap, Richards, Gunter, Ashley Williams, Davies, Neil Taylor as five across the back. The three in midfield will be Edwards, Andy King and Aaron Ramsey and up front Gareth Bale and Hal Robson Kanu." The prime minister hosted Mr Juncker at Chequers ahead of a week of efforts to renegotiate Britain's EU membership. The EC president "reiterated that he wanted to find a fair deal for the UK", said a No 10 spokesman after the talks. Meanwhile, Poland's prime minister told Mr Cameron she would not tolerate moves to "discriminate" against her country. Ewa Kopacz said it would be "regrettable" if the UK voted to leave the EU, and Polish people working in the UK contributed to economic growth and should be "treated in the same way as others". She is due to meet Mr Cameron on Friday. Mr Cameron and Mr Juncker's meeting came as reports suggest France and Germany are planning to announce further eurozone integration. French newspaper Le Monde is reporting that the two countries have agreed a deal to bring about closer political union between eurozone countries without the need for changes to the treaties which govern the EU. Mr Cameron has argued that treaty changes are needed to bring about the reforms he wants - creating a two-tier Europe, with closer integration between eurozone countries and Britain exempted from the drive for "ever closer union" between member states. The prime minister's call for tougher benefit restrictions on new migrants - expected to be a key demand in renegotiation talks - would also need to be agreed by all member states. The chances of getting a new treaty ratified in 28 countries by the end of 2017, in time for Britain to hold its planned in/out referendum, are remote, according to the BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris. But, he adds, member states have been allowed to change their relationship with the EU in the past and for those changes to be included in future treaties, something that could be presented as a treaty change by Mr Cameron ahead of Britain's referendum. The talks between Mr Cameron and Mr Juncker on Monday focused on "reforming the EU and renegotiating the UK's relationship with it", the No 10 spokesman said. "The prime minister underlined that the British people are not happy with the status quo and believe that the EU needs to change in order to better address their concerns. "Mr Juncker reiterated that he wanted to find a fair deal for the UK and would seek to help. "They talked through the issue at some length in the spirit of finding solutions to these problems. They agreed that more discussion would be needed, including with other leaders, on the best way forward." The two men also discussed the Greek economic situation, as well as Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, Downing Street added. Mr Juncker is opposed to treaty changes but Eurosceptic MPs argue it is not possible to have meaningful negotiations without them. Conservative backbencher, Bernard Jenkin, said the Le Monde leak "went to the heart" of what the prime minister's promised renegotiation was about. "The treaties aren't designed to allow different states to do different things. It is all assumed that we will all be involved with integration," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. UKIP MP Douglas Carswell said before the meeting that the prime minister's promised renegotiation would be "more or less worthless" as it would not "fundamentally change our relationship with Europe". Over the coming days, Mr Cameron will travel to France, Germany, Denmark, Poland and the Netherlands to hold talks with European leaders. Earlier, No 10 confirmed UK-based citizens from most EU countries would not get a vote in the referendum. The eligibility rules will be broadly the same as for a general election, rather than for local or European polls. Legislation on the voting eligibility for the referendum will be introduced to Parliament via the EU Referendum Bill. It will say: A No 10 source said about the franchise: "This is a big decision for our country, one that is about the future of the United Kingdom. That's why we think it's important that it is British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens that are the ones who get to decide." Eurosceptics have previously claimed that as many as 1.5 million people from other EU countries could have been allowed to vote in the referendum, if it had taken place under the rules for local government elections. David Cameron is ready to start renegotiating the terms of Britain's EU membership ahead of a referendum. Here is some further reading on what it all means: The UK and the EU: Better off in or out? What Britain wants from Europe Q&A: The UK's planned EU referendum Timeline: EU referendum debate Why Germany is David Cameron's new best friend At a press conference, the company's president Tetsuro Aikawa said there may have been more car models that incorrectly measured fuel efficiency data than initially thought. Meanwhile, US safety authorities have asked the company for more information. Shares in the company have lost 40% of their value since the scandal emerged. On Friday the stock closed at a record low of 504 yen. So far, at least 600,000 Japanese vehicles have been affected in four models: Mitsubishi's ek Wagon and eK Space, as well as Nissan's Dayz and Dayz Roox, which Mitsubishi produces for Nissan. "We believe there were four car models where we saw improper data breaches and we believe there were other car models that were not properly measured," said President Tesuro Aikawa. "We are trying to sort this out." When saying sorry is the only thing to do What did Mitsubishi Motors do wrong? The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told Reuters that it had asked the company for more information on vehicles sold in the US, but did not give details of the models. Japanese authorities raided one of Mitsubishi's offices on Thursday and has demanded a full report by 27 April. On Friday the transport minister, Keiichi Ishii, raised the possibility of buying back the cars in question, as Volkswagen has agreed to do in the US. "We would like encourage Mitsubishi Motors to conduct some serious soul searching for having tarnished the 'Japan Brand' that we have built up over these years," he added. Dundee and Dundee United will meet again after being drawn together in the second round, having met at the first-round group stage on Sunday. Last year's finalists Aberdeen visit Hamilton Academical, Rangers host Dunfermline Athletic and Hibernian take on Ayr United. St Johnstone meet Partick Thistle, Motherwell are at Ross County and Falkirk face Livingston. The ties will be played on 8 and 9 August. Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers and St Johnstone all enter the competition in round two after featuring in European competition earlier this season. They were seeded along with four of the first-round group winners - Ayr, Dundee United, Motherwell and Falkirk - when the draw was made at Dens Park. Earlier at Dundee's home ground, Neil McCann's side drew 1-1 with city rivals United but lost the bonus-point penalty shoot-out. That 4-3 victory on spot-kicks ensured Ray McKinnon's United took top spot in Group C and the last seeded place in the second-round draw. Dundee manager Neil McCann said he got his wish of another derby against their city rivals. "When I went into the dressing room it was quiet and I said 'I want another crack at them'," he said. "We got one, that's why there was a cheer going up. That's not being disrespectful or arrogant, it's just a fantastic game to be involved in." Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon feels his side will be in better shape by the time they return to Dens Park. He said: "I would rather it was at Tannadice, but listen, they have nothing to fear coming here. "It will be a tough game again, Dundee are a good side, but we have shown we can go out there and play. "And hopefully we will have James Keatings. Scott McDonald will have had another 10 days' training, Willo Flood has only had one game, 60 minutes, with the kids. If we can get these people back fit we will come back here with a stronger squad." St Johnstone v Partick Thistle Hibernian v Ayr United Rangers v Dunfermline Athletic Ross County v Motherwell Falkirk v Livingston Hamilton Academical v Aberdeen Celtic v Kilmarnock Dundee v Dundee United Ties to be played on 8/9 August The BBC has seen draft sustainability and transformation plans (STPs) which propose ward closures, cuts in bed numbers and changes to A&E and GP care in 44 areas. There have been no consultations on the plans so far. NHS England, which needs to find £22bn in efficiency savings by 2020-21, said reorganising local services is essential to improve patient care. But the Nuffield Trust think tank said while STPs could lead to "fundamental changes", many of the plans do not meet the financial targets set by the government and will face a "dauntingly large implementation task". Laura Townshend, director of the campaign group 38 Degrees, said the plans had received very little public or political scrutiny. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "A key concern is why it hasn't been this transparent up until now. "These plans are due to be signed off this October - a matter of weeks away". The STPs are being drawn up by local health and social care leaders, although many remain unpublished. They were asked to find potential savings and efficiencies at the end of last year to meet financial targets set out by the former Chancellor George Osborne and NHS England head Simon Stevens. Stephen Dalton, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said that the NHS would not "indiscriminately close services". He said local discussions were "better than having a single plan" for the whole country. Mr Dalton told the Today programme that in the past there has been reluctance from political leaders to address the way things are organised in the NHS. He said much of the structure is "an accident of history", arguing that MPs have been dodging issues for too long. 38 Degrees uncovered many unreported draft STPs, including plans for the closure of an A&E in the Black Country and the merging of two of the area's three district general hospitals and the closure of one site. In the area of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, there are plans to close acute services from one of three hospitals. There are also plans to put GP surgeries under "review" because of a shortage of funding. A draft plan circulating among NHS managers in West Yorkshire reveals proposals to close the equivalent of five wards in the Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. A spokeswoman for the area said: "We will be engaging and consulting as and when appropriate." It sounds like another piece of management speak but the Sustainability and Transformation Plans are highly significant for health services and patients in England. NHS chiefs want local health and council leaders to work together to make the best use of resources at a time when efficiency savings are required. If that means caring for more people out of hospital and concentrating services at fewer sites then, NHS England would argue, so be it. But closures are never popular at local level and campaigners in each area will no doubt oppose cuts to services. It will be a big moment for the NHS when the final plans are published in the autumn. In a blog published on the Nuffield Trust website, its head, Nigel Edwards, said: "The speed of the process to shape these plans has meant that they have so far not been very visible". Mr Edwards said in some cases large numbers of patients would have to be shifted into community settings to make room for growing demand, while in others up to 20% of beds may be closed. The role of community hospitals is being questioned and the number of mental health inpatient sites could be reduced, he added. Sally Gainsbury, senior policy analyst with the trust, said many of the plans at the moment appeared to be proposing shifting or shutting services. "Our research finds that, in a lot of these kinds of reconfigurations, you don't save very much money - all that happens is the patient has to go to the next hospital down the road. "They're more inconvenienced... but it rarely saves the money that's needed." Richard Murray, director of policy at the King's Fund - a health think tank - told BBC News that the plans were complicated and very difficult to carry out all at once. As a result, he said there was "a need to make investments first in order to make savings later". An NHS England spokesman said: "This is a unique exercise in collaboration. It is hardly a secret that the NHS is looking to make major efficiencies and the best way of doing so is for local doctors, hospitals and councils to work together to decide the way forward in consultation with local communities. "Proposals are at a draft stage but we expect all local leaders to be talking to the public and stakeholders regularly - it is vital that people are able to shape the future of their local services. "No changes to the services people currently receive will be made without local engagement and, where required, consultation." David Pearson, STP leader for Nottinghamshire, told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme: "Sometimes, we have particular conditions or particular treatments that are best in a centre of excellence... "But this is fundamentally about making sure we are doing the best things across Nottinghamshire and that, as far as possible, services are locally delivered to an agreed understanding of what best practice is. "The transformation of services is rarely just one big dramatic closure." Andrew McCracken, of patient group, National Voices, said: "'Health and care services need to change, but those changes must be made with local communities, not behind closed doors." The BCB XI were all out for 294 while England were 2-0 at stumps in Chittagong. Abdul Mazid hit an impressive century for the hosts before he was bowled by Stuart Broad. Leg-spinner Adil Rashid and seamer Jake Ball were rested for the tourists. Captain Alastair Cook missed the game after flying back to England to attend the birth of his second child. He is expected to return before the opening day of the first Test, which starts on 20 October in Chittagong. "The amount of cricket that Cooky's played in the subcontinent, I think he'll fit back in seamlessly," said England fast bowler Steven Finn. "I think you'd be a bit worried if it was someone who was less experienced, I suppose, and hadn't experienced these conditions before and spent time in the middle because that's important." Meanwhile, Bangladesh have named their 14-man squad for the first Test with four uncapped players included. Middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman and wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan have been included, along with off-spinning all-rounder Mehedi Hasan and pace bowler Kamrul Islam. Bangladesh squad for first Test versus England: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Tamim Iqbal (vice-captain), Soumya Sarker, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Shuvagata Hom, Sabbir Rahman, Mehedi Hasan, Shafiul Islam, Taijul Islam, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Nurul Hasan. Legendary is the maker of blockbuster hits such as Jurassic World, the Dark Knight Batman trilogy and Godzilla. Wanda is the world's biggest movie theatre operator with a majority stake in the US chain AMC. The rapidly growing group is led by China's richest man, Wang Jianlin. Mr Wang has been looking to buy a Hollywood studio for several years and was reported to be in talks with DreamWorks Animation last year, but a deal was not announced. The announcement, made at a press conference by both firms in Beijing, comes after a week of rumours about a possible deal. Legendary Entertainment chairman and chief executive Thomas Tull, who also started the company, will remain as the head of the studio. Buying Legendary Entertainment puts Wanda on the road to becoming a global media company and one of the world's biggest players in movie production. It already owns China's biggest chain of cinemas as well as cinemas in the United States. But will it compromise artistic standards by leading to films which have to please too many people, including Chinese censors? Wanda's founder and chairman, Wang Jianlin, told the BBC that Hollywood films would have to adapt to the Chinese market if they wanted to succeed there: "I think this is very normal because US companies want to grab a share in the Chinese high-growth market. They should do something to cater to Chinese audiences' interests — if they don't, there might be trouble". The new combined operation is making a movie about the Great Wall, featuring Matt Damon with Chinese director, Zhang Yimou. It's due for release this year. Legendary described it as "the story of an elite force making a last stand for humanity on the world's most iconic structure". But the enlarged media company is expected to steer clear of any movies that might fall foul of the strict censorship of political matters in China. Read more: Hollywood studio buy-up begs questions Wanda described the deal as "China's largest cross-border cultural acquisition to date". It is aimed at increasing ties between Hollywood and the world's fastest growing movie market, China. The Chinese conglomerate said that Legendary's films have grossed over $12bn globally. Mr Wang said he plans to pair the Hollywood studio with its in-house film production unit and make a stock market listing. A timeline for the launch an initial public offering (IPO) was not given. Wanda had released its earnings report a day earlier and said that its revenue rose 19% in 2015 from a year ago on a surge of sales in its leisure and financial businesses. Catalin Mihail Avram, 35, of Whitehouse Avenue, Oldham, was arrested on Wednesday morning. He was charged with running a brothel at Panama Apartments on Green Street in violation of an 1895 Jersey law. Magistrate Bridget Shaw said there was no benefit to Jersey to keep Avram in the island. Avram appeared at Jersey Magistrates' Court in St Helier on Thursday where he pleaded guilty. The court heard he arrived in Jersey by boat on Monday from the UK with two women, a car boot full of adult material and £300 in cash. The prosecution lawyer said the officers spoke to one of the women who said she had sold sex for money and had had three clients in one afternoon. Police found £697 in their possession meaning they had acquired £397 in the time they had been in the island. The court heard there was no coercion or threats against the women and they were here willingly. Magistrate Shaw bound him over to leave the island for three years and ordered him to sign £397 over to the court, which she said were the proceeds of prostitution. Chief executive Jim Brown said it was the bank's fifth consecutive quarter in profit. Danske Bank in Northern Ireland posted a pre-tax profit of £31.5m in the first quarter of 2015. Its UK CEO Gerry Mallon said it was a significant improvement on the same period last year. "Our underlying financial performance has continued its upward trajectory and alongside this we are also maintaining a prudent approach to cost management," he said. He added: "As business and consumer confidence continues to improve across the local economy, we expect demand for finance to increase further." The Ulster Bank results are for its business across the island of Ireland, whereas the Danske Bank results are for Northern Ireland only. While Ulster Bank reported profits, its parent company RBS posted an attributable loss of £446m in the first quarter of 2015 because of legal and restructuring costs. RBS reported an operating profit of £325m - a figure much lower than the £1.28bn in the same period of 2014. However, Ulster Bank's £51m operating profit was a substantial increase on the £9m posted in the first quarter of last year. Mr Brown said: "This quarter sees sustained progress across the key areas, demonstrating the underlying strength of the core Ulster Bank franchise." UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he hoped the intervention would help restore "Mali's constitutional order and territorial integrity". Thousands of African troops are due to join Malian and French forces to help push back the rebels' offensive. France intervened on Friday after the Islamists began advancing southwards. French authorities said they had feared that the rebels would march on the capital, Bamako, creating a grave security threat for the wider region. On Monday, the Security Council convened in New York for an emergency meeting at France's request. After the meeting, France's UN ambassador Gerard Araud said his country had the "understanding and support" of the 14 other Security Council members. But he added that France also wanted the deployment of a West African force to happen "as quickly as possible". By Barbara PlettBBC UN correspondent The Security Council's support for the French military intervention is an indication of the deep concern here about the growing strength and control of armed extremist groups in Mali. Diplomats seem most preoccupied about how quickly African troops can get to the country to help Mali's weak army. That's the UN plan, but the resolution authorising it envisaged a timeline over many months to prepare for an offensive, alongside a political reconciliation process between the government and nationalist rebels. That's been disrupted by the Islamist advance and the French intervention. The plan is being fast-tracked now, with African contingents set to arrive in Bamako as early as next week. Mr Araud said France wanted the Africans to take over the military operation as soon as possible, but he admitted it wasn't clear how this transfer was going to happen. The danger is that the Africans might not be able to take on the Islamists with the West playing only a supporting role, sucking France into a long military engagement. The force will be deployed under UN Security Council resolution 2085, which was passed in December and allows for a 3,000-strong African-led mission to intervene in Mali later this year in the absence of any negotiated solution. The African troops are expected in Mali in "coming days and weeks", Mr Araud said, adding that the Nigerian commander of the force was already on the ground. Mr Ban echoed Mr Araud's call for rapid deployment of an African force. "The Secretary-General welcomes that bilateral partners are responding, at the request and with the consent of the government of Mali, to its call for assistance to counter the troubling push southward by armed and terrorist groups," his office said in a statement. However the Islamist advance and French response also "underscore the urgency of implementing all aspects of the resolution". France says its air strikes have forced back Islamists who took control of northern Mali last year, though the rebels seized one town on Monday. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the West African force would include 600 troops from Nigeria, 500 each from Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo and Senegal, and 300 from Benin. He said France's involvement would last "a matter of weeks". France has sent about 550 troops to the central town of Mopti and to Bamako, and a defence ministry official told Reuters troop numbers would increase to 2,500 in coming days. At least 11 Malian soldiers and a French helicopter pilot have died in Mali. More than 100 militants are reported to have been killed. France's war in the desert Aid workers said many people had been fleeing areas targeted by French air strikes over the past four days. A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross said the humanitarian situation was "fast deteriorating" "Mass displacement of the population has already been observed, casualties have been reported and we're trying our best to address the humanitarian needs of the population," said Ali Naraghi. France intensified its air strikes on rebel targets over the weekend, with its aircraft also bombing the town of Gao in eastern Mali. On Monday witnesses told AFP news agency that there had been air strikes on Douentza for a fourth consecutive day. Mali a risk for 'new' Hollande Residents in several northern towns also told AFP that Islamists in several key northern towns including Gao and Douentza had either fled or taken cover from the air strikes by Monday. Rebels of the al-Qaeda-linked Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao), said that France would pay for its intervention. Meanwhile, Algeria, which has allowed French jets to cross its airspace, said it had closed its long desert border with Mali. Islamist groups and secular Tuareg rebels took advantage of chaos following a military coup to seize northern Mali in April 2012. But the Islamists soon took control of the region's major towns, sidelining the Tuaregs. One Islamist group, Ansar Dine, began pushing further south last week, seizing Konna. The town has since been recaptured by Malian troops with French aerial support. The 24-year-old Australian started his career with Brisbane Broncos before joining Manly last season. Parcell is likely to replace James Segeyaro who returned to his native Australia recently after the 26-year-old said he was homesick. "I'm really excited about the style of football they want to play," Parcell told BBC Radio Leeds. "I think what they're looking to do at Leeds will really suit me. "Coming over to England has always been something that I've wanted to do but this has come about sooner than I expected." He added: "I can understand after what's happened that fans might be worried I won't stick around, but I really think that this is going to suit me and I am excited about the prospect of living on the other side of the world. "I don't think homesickness is going to be an issue." Michael Horn, chief executive of VW's US operation, said the events were "deeply troubling". However, he said the decision to use the devices was not one made by the company's board, but by individuals. Mr Horn said: "My understanding is that it was a couple of software engineers who put these in." He said that three people had been suspended following the scandal, but they could not be named for legal reasons. The executive was giving evidence before the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce committee. Many of the committee members were sceptical. New York Congressman Chris Collins said: "VW is trying to get us to believe this is the work of a couple of rogue engineers. I don't believe it." At one point, Mr Horn himself said he found it hard to believe. Texas Congressman Joe Barton asked him: "Do you really believe, as good, as well-run as Volkswagen has always been reputed to be, that senior level corporate managers, administrators, had no knowledge for years and years?" Mr Horn replied: "I agree it's very hard to believe. And personally I struggle [to believe it] as well." Several of the committee members admitted they had owned VW cars and held a deep affection for them, which prompted some angry questioning. Vermont Congressman Peter Welch asked Mr Horn: "How do you call yourself a member of the human race when you poison the human race?" Mr Horn added: "I did not think that something like this was possible at the Volkswagen group. "We have broken the trust of our customers, dealerships, employees as well as the public and the regulators. "Let me be very clear: we at Volkswagen take full responsibility for our actions and we are working with all the relevant authorities in a co-operative way." Mr Horn told the panel he was informed about a "possible emissions non-compliance" in the spring of 2014. But he said he first learned about so-called defeat devices being installed on VW diesel cars at the beginning of September, just before the scandal was made public. The software allowed a vehicle to recognise whether it was being driven on the road or running in a test laboratory, and turn engine emissions controls on or off. VW will offer a financial package to American dealers to help them through the crisis, but expects it will take "one to two years minimum" to fix the US cars. Later on Thursday the state of Texas said it was taking legal action against Volkswagen over the marketing of its supposedly clean diesel vehicles, alleging that Volkswagen violated a state law prohibiting deceptive trade practices. Meanwhile, German public prosecutors have searched Volkswagen's Wolfsburg headquarters as part of their investigation into the emissions scandal. The prosecutor's office said they were looking for data linked to the defeat devices. German prosecutors launched their investigation into the scandal last week after receiving about a dozen criminal complaints from citizens and one from VW itself. They say they are trying to find out who was responsible for the alleged manipulation and how it was carried out. Mr Horn said he was told about problems with VW's diesel cars meeting US emissions tests after the publication of a study by West Virginia University. "I was informed that EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] regulations included various penalties for non-compliance with the emissions standards and that the agencies can conduct engineering tests which could include 'defeat device' testing or analysis," he said. But he told the members of the committee: "I had no idea what a defeat device was or that Volkswagen used them." Volkswagen told US authorities on 3 September this year about the "defeat device" in emissions software in diesel vehicles for the model years 2009 to 2015. Ronnie Coulter, 48, from Wishaw, was originally cleared of stabbing the 32-year-old in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, following a trial in 1999. The Crown was given permission to bring a second prosecution following changes to Scotland's double jeopardy laws. Following his conviction earlier this month, Coulter was told he must serve a minimum of 19 years and eight months. This is the time he must spend in prison before he is eligible to apply for parole. Jailing him at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lord Matthews said: "Chhokar was the victim of an ambush which cost him his life. "The jury accepted you were responsible for his brutal murder over the theft of £100.70 Giro. "You chose to involve yourself. The evidence showed that what happened was not on the spur of the moment." Lord Matthews said that on the night of the murder, Coulter had travelled to Overtown with his nephew Andrew Coulter and a friend, David Montgomery. The judge added: "It is plain that your only purpose was violence and you must have had a knife to hand. You inflicted three stab wounds on his body in the most despicable and cowardly manner. "Now, many years later you are here to answer for your crime." Lord Matthews praised what he called "the quiet dignity" of the Chhokar family who had endured an 18-year wait for justice. Speaking outside court, Chhokar family lawyer Aamer Anwar said: "In the 18 years it took to prove Ronnie Coulter's guilt, he has never shown a shred of remorse or sorrow. "Surjit Singh Chhokar was not his only victim. His two parents, a sister, two young children and his partner Liz had their lives devastated, but today the presence of justice has finally given Surjit's family peace." Det Ch Supt Clark Cuzen, who led the new investigation into the murder, said, "I hope today's sentence gives some closure to the family and again, I would like to thank them for their courage and dignity throughout." Coulter was convicted by majority verdict earlier this month following a four-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow. It was only the second time in Scottish legal history that an accused had been tried twice for the same crime. The other saw Angus Sinclair convicted of the World's End murders after a second trial. The trial heard that Ronnie Coulter, his nephew Andrew Coulter and another man, David Montgomery, went to see Mr Chhokar on 4 November 1998 following a row over a stolen £100 Giro cheque. After an altercation, Mr Chhokar collapsed in front of his partner Liz Bryce. He was stabbed three times in the chest and one of the blows pierced his heart, resulting in his death from massive blood loss. The court also heard how Ronnie Coulter was previously tried for Mr Chhokar's murder in 1999, but cleared of the charge. Andrew Coulter, who was convicted of stabbing and killing another man in 1999, and Mr Montgomery, were also cleared of Mr Chhokar's murder at another trial in 2000. In 2011, changes were made to the double jeopardy law which prevented an accused person from being tried for the same offence twice. In January 2013, the Crown Office ordered a new investigation into the Chhokar case. The following year, three high court judges granted prosecutors permission to retry Ronnie Coulter. He denied the charge and lodged a special defence blaming his nephew Andrew and Mr Montgomery. Both men gave evidence during the trial and admitted being there on the night Mr Chhokar died, but they denied murder. The jury decided Ronnie Coulter committed the murder and convicted him following the second trial. In mitigation, Coulter's representative Donald Findlay QC said his client maintained that he was at the scene but did not "wield the knife". Mr Findlay also said race "had no part whatsoever to play in this matter" and urged Lord Matthews to judge on "the facts of the case" and exercise leniency in respect of Coulter's treatment for depression and paranoid schizophrenia. The 35-year-old, who previously played at Barnet for now-Eastleigh boss Martin Allen, has signed an 18-month contract. Stack began his career at Arsenal, making five appearances in the League Cup for the Gunners before spells at Reading, Plymouth and Hibernian. Allen's side are 12th in the table, 10 points below the top five. The Queen and Prime Minister David Cameron joined the silence, along with the families of the dead. Tourists and Tunisians gathered at the scene of the attack in Sousse, where they linked arms to observe the pause. Inquests into the deaths of the Britons are under way, while the bodies of more victims have arrived in the UK. At noon the nation fell silent, with businesses, sporting events and places of worship pausing to mark the moment the killings took place. Tears were shed as hundreds of employees observed the silence at the head office of the travel company whose customers made up the toll of British dead, while flags were flown at half mast on many official buildings. In pictures: UK and Tunisia fall silent Walsall Football Club fell silent to remember three generations of one family who were killed. Fans Joel Richards, 19, his uncle Adrian Evans, 44, and grandfather Charles (known as Patrick) Evans, 78, were among the dead. Mr Richards's 16-year-old brother Owen survived the attack and was joined at the club's stadium by his mother Suzanne and hundreds of supporters. Hundreds gathered to pay their respects to Adrian Evans outside Sandwell Council's offices, in the West Midlands, where he had worked as a gas services manager for many years. "It's such a sad, sad fact that we are having to do this today but we wanted to demonstrate that Adrian Evans was one of our own," said council leader Darren Cooper. "We are a very, very united community here and I've had expressions from various faith communities about the appalling nature of what has happened in Tunisia." A recently-engaged beauty blogger and a husband who shielded his wife: What we know about the British victims The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh joined staff in marking the silence at the University of Strathclyde during an official visit to open a new technology and innovation centre, while Mr Cameron observed the pause at his Oxfordshire constituency of Witney. The ceremony held at the beach-side scene of the killings was attended by Tunisians, tourists and dignitaries - including Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid. Mr Essid has told the BBC the slow response of police to the attack was a major problem. He also said he was deeply sorry for the killings. The British ambassador to Tunisia, Hamish Cowell, laid a wreath on the beach. He said it was "very important to be here in Sousse one week after this appalling, cowardly attack, to remember all those who have lost their lives". The silence was also observed at the headquarters of the TUI Group travel company in Luton, which owns Thomson and First Choice. All 30 Britons killed were its customers. Of the 1,800 people on site, about 1,600 stood outside to pay their respects. The BBC's Ben Geoghegan said some of those gathered in the company's car park wore black ties, while some dabbed away tears. Passengers and crews on Thomson Airways flights and in TUI offices around the world also fell silent to remember the dead. A number of mosques observed the silence, including at Birmingham's Central Mosque where more than 6,000 people took part. Chairman Mohammad Afzal said: "In the Quran it says killing an individual is like killing the whole of humanity. These innocent holidaymakers have committed no sin, had done nothing wrong and their lives were as precious as any other." Qari Asim, an imam in Leeds, said his mosque wanted to show solidarity with the victims' families, as well as paying "our tribute to the survivors, whose courage and determination still continues to inspire us". Police officers across the country took part in the silence, while at Wimbledon matches started late to allow the minute's quiet to be observed. And the silence was also marked at Silverstone, which is hosting the British Grand Prix on Sunday, led by drivers and teams and also observed by the crowds in the grandstands. Hundreds of people gathered along the gates of Buckingham Palace and lined the nearby pavements during the silence. And the touring Australia Ashes cricket team joined Essex players and officials to bow their heads during a break in play in Chelmsford. By Thomas Fessy, BBC News The Tunisian prime minister and several government ministers came along with ambassadors from the UK, the US, France, Portugal, Ireland and the Netherlands. Representatives from Belgium, Canada and Libya also attended the brief commemorative gathering. They all arrived in silence, laid wreaths of flowers in front of the plaque erected on the crime scene before two trumpets gave a solemn salute. Dozens of tourists had come to pay respects too. Most of them attended in their swimsuits with beach towels wrapped around their waists. The smell of sun cream floating around was a strange reminder of the 38 people who were killed here, most of them lying on sunbeds, enjoying some relaxing holiday time. Dignitaries left without a word while tourists and Tunisians - some of whom were hotel staff - formed a human chain, holding hands around the flowers that were laid in the sand throughout the morning. The first inquests at West London Coroner's Court have been opened by Coroner Chinyere Inyama, and will be adjourned later. During one of the hearings, the coroner heard Stephen Mellor from Bodmin, Cornwall, was killed by gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen as he shielded his wife Cheryl. Further inquests are due to be opened at the court on Saturday and Sunday. Post-mortem examinations will be carried out before the bodies are released to their families. The bodies of 25 of the British victims have now been returned to the UK. The Foreign Office said those repatriated on Friday were Christopher and Sharon Bell, Scott Chalkley, Sue Davey, Angie and Ray Fisher, Eileen Swannack and John Welch. The C-17 aircraft carrying their bodies landed at RAF Brize Norton on Friday afternoon. The repatriation of the dead is likely to take several days, with two further flights planned for Friday and Saturday. Among the three Irish citizens killed in the attack were Larry and Martina Hayes, who were buried in Athlone, in the Midlands Region, on Friday - which was the 30th birthday of their only daughter, Sinea. Other victims included two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian national. Tunisian authorities have identified 28-year-old Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui as the gunman who carried out the attack. They are also holding eight suspects in custody on suspicion of being directly linked to the attack, which jihadist group Islamic State has claimed. Four others who were held have been released. Scotland Yard has previously said its investigation into the attack is likely to be one of the largest counter-terrorism deployments since the London 7/7 bombings in 2005, which killed 52. The £16m Black Rock site in Portishead had to be partially demolished after the fire led to the roof's collapse. An anarchist group claimed responsibility. It will be used by more than 300 officers per year from three police forces in the West Country. Facilities include firing ranges, fake houses, interactive target systems and an abseil training area. Police said it was due to be opened last year until it was extensively damaged in the "domestic extremism related arson attack" in August 2013, while in the final stages of construction. Home Secretary Theresa May, who visited on Thursday, said the facility would "help maintain the very high standards that we expect of our firearms officers and equip them with the skills they need to protect the communities they serve". "This is another example of how good police forces are collaborating with one another to make savings, pool resources and deliver more efficient local policing," she added. A Tri Force collaboration has seen Avon and Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Police forces share services including firearms, roads policing, collision investigation and dogs. Indeed, the Baltic nation has formed a big sub-plot in the Scots' trials and tribulations on the world and European stage. Not because they boast a particularly good record against the side now coached by Gordon Strachan - they have only beaten the Scots once. But because they have been there since day zero; that being Saturday 5 September 1998. Scotland's first qualifier for a place at Euro 2000 happened to be their first competitive match since the St Etienne slaughtering dished out by Morocco at the World Cup in France less than three months previously. The opposition? Lithuania. For the first time. And with six starters from the Moroccan mauling in the visitors' team. The goalless draw that Craig Brown's side would endure in Vilnius provided merely the 'hors d'oeuvre' to almost two decades of major championship misery for a starved nation. The Lithuanians took a point that day knowing they had previously completed their best-ever qualification campaign on the road to France. They hoped it pointed to an eventual finals' spot and, while they have failed in that mission so far, the ambition remains, fuelled by the arrival of one man in the dugout. A familiar foe deserves a familiar face and Edgaras Jankauskas certainly provides that. The former Hearts striker, coach and 2006 Scottish Cup winner was in the Lithuania side that frustrated Brown's team 18 years ago and is arguably the former Soviet state's most revered footballer. That the Champions League winner at Porto in 2004 is now in charge of the national team has ignited belief in the country that what seemed like an impossible dream could be touched by reality. Jankauskas has steadied the ship since his arrival in January. His predecessor, Igoris Pankratjevas, resigned a year ago after failing to make an impact on their Euro 2016 qualifying group, which also featured England and Slovenia, both of whom Jankauskas is locking horns with in Scotland's section this time round. And, while wins have been hard to come by - they have only two in two years, against Estonia and San Marino - the proof the effect the new man in charge is having is shown by their last two results. A goalless draw with Poland in Krakow before the Poles' summer excursion to the Euro 2016 finals in France and an opening 2-2 draw with Slovenia have provided reason for optimism. Indeed, the latter should have been a victory and would have been but for two carelessly defended headers in Vilnius as a 2-0 lead was surrendered by the home team. The match was difficult enough for the visitors that Slovenia coach Srecko Katanec was moved to insist that others will drop points to Lithuania during this campaign. Other faces in the visiting camp this weekend will also be remembered by Hearts fans in particular, with defender Deividas Cesnauskis - who like his coach won the Scottish Cup at Hampden in 2006 - and midfielder Arvydas Novikovas among their ranks. Jankauskas once was the golden boy of Lithuanian football, a role that is currently filled by young striker Lukas Spalvis. Fortunately for the Scots, the talented 22-year-old signed by Sporting Club de Portugal in the summer is injured and will not feature. One who is likely to take the field is midfielder Vykintas Slivka, who is on the books of Italian giants Juventus and on loan at Den Bosch in the Netherlands. Slivka scored his first international goal against the Slovenians last month with a clever finish. However, it was not as clever as captain Fiodor Cernych's opener just two minutes before, as the Jagiellona Bialystok striker showed his prowess from distance. Jankauskas told the Lithuanian media before their departure for Glasgow: "Scotland is a team which will require maximum concentration and defensive discipline. "I think we have the potential (to win). What do we want from the two matches (Scotland and Malta)? Six points. "It may happen that we are satisfied with a point having played well and scoring. "It will be a good challenge to play in a big stadium where we will be able to feel the atmosphere of Scottish football." The many tiresome international chapters that have been written since the hazy summer of '98 have been frequented by Jankauskas and his fellow Lithuanians. Scotland have played 89 competitive matches since that 1998 maiden clash in Vilnius. The 90th must result in the securing of three World Cup points, otherwise the visitors may just leave their mark once again. The House of Lords EU committee claimed Europe "sleepwalked" into the crisis. The EU had not realised the depth of Russian hostility to its plans for closer relations with Ukraine, it said. It comes as French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke about the crisis at a joint news conference in Paris. Prime Minister David Cameron said blame for what had happened in Ukraine "lies absolutely squarely with Vladimir Putin and Russia". The committee's report said Britain had not been "active or visible enough" in dealing with the situation in Ukraine. It blamed Foreign Office cuts, which it said led to fewer Russian experts working there, and less emphasis on analysis. A similar decline in EU foreign ministries had left them ill-equipped to formulate an "authoritative response" to the crisis, it said. The report claimed that for too long the EU's relationship with Moscow had been based on the "optimistic premise" that Russia was on a trajectory to becoming a democratic country. The result, it said, was a failure to appreciate the depth of Russian hostility when the EU opened talks aimed at establishing an "association agreement" with Ukraine in 2013. Mr Cameron rejected claims Britain "sleepwalked" into the crisis in Ukraine. He said: "What we need to do now is deliver the strongest possible message to Putin and to Russia that what has happened is unacceptable. "These ceasefires need to hold and if they don't, there'll be more consequences, more sanctions, more measures." Meanwhile Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande said the Minsk agreements should be implemented and the ceasefire observed between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels. Mr Hollande said: "With the [German] Chancellor we have never stopped speaking since the [September 2014] Minsk agreements and we are more convinced than ever that they must be applied - all the agreements, nothing but the agreements." Mrs Merkel said the EU "could raise the issue of sanctions" if needed. The report also follows comments from Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, who has warned Russian President Vladimir Putin poses a "real and present danger" to three Baltic states. He was speaking after RAF jets were scrambled to escort two Russian military aircraft seen off the Cornwall coast on Wednesday. Elsewhere, shelling was reported in several parts of eastern Ukraine on Thursday, including around the rebel-held city of Donetsk. The Ukraine crisis began in November 2013 when pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych's government abandoned the EU agreement in favour of stronger ties with Russia - prompting mass protests that eventually led to his downfall. Subsequent unrest in Ukraine's peninsula of Crimea led to its annexation by Russia - which is accused by the West of stoking further conflict between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces in the east of the country. Committee chairman Lord Tugendhat said: "The lack of robust analytical capacity, in both the UK and the EU, effectively led to a catastrophic misreading of the mood in the run-up to the crisis." The UK had a particular responsibility to Ukraine because it was one of four signatories to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum which pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, the committee said. Neither Britain nor the EU had a strategic response on how to handle Russia for the long term, it added. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said no-one could have predicted the scale of the "unjustifiable and illegal" Russian intervention and it was for the people of Ukraine to decide on its relationship with the EU. Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander said it was "vital" the EU had a "united approach" and that the UK government helped to find a "diplomatic resolution" to the conflict. Sir Andrew Wood, former British ambassador to Russia, agreed with the report's assessment, calling the situation a "dangerous moment" because Russia's frustrations could overspill into other areas, with increasing pressure on Baltic states. During a speech in London, Nato's military chief in Europe, Gen Sir Adrian Bradshaw, referred to plans to build Nato force integration units in eastern Europe to respond to potential new threats against Nato states in eastern Europe. He said they would "send a strong signal", and help support eastern members in an era of "constant competition" with Russia. Nato's information and warning system will focus on a "range of hybrid threats" including cyber attacks and political agitation, he said. Meanwhile, a Downing Street statement said European Council president Mr Tusk and Mr Cameron had expressed "deep concern" that Russian-backed separatists continued to attack Debaltseve, despite the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on Sunday. It said both leaders had agreed European member states must review the EU's response to the crisis, and should make clear to Russia that pro-Russian rebels must abide by the ceasefire. The European Council is made up of the heads of the 28 EU member states and it sets the EU's overall political direction and priorities. The US has also said it is "deeply troubled" by reports of continued fighting in eastern Ukraine. The streets of Debaltseve were mostly deserted as we entered the city for the first time since intense fighting ended. Those civilians still holed up in the city, who have been without water, gas and electricity since early January, were slowly emerging from shelters to see what was left of their homes. But there were more rebels than civilians, with convoys of victorious separatists returning from the recent clashes. Evidence of the fighting was littered across the roads and we spotted the bodies of two Ukrainian solders that had been lying in the cold for three days. Poroshenko bruised by army retreat

Officers forced entry into a flat in Adelphi Place, Portobello, on Sunday where they found the body of 88-year-old Douglas Iggulden. His wife Elizabeth, 89, was found collapsed and remains in hospital. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner will look at the initial response by Police Scotland to a report of concern about the couple's welfare. BBC Scotland understands the investigation concerns the timing of the police response. The commissioner is also reviewing a separate incident where a possible sighting of an elderly woman who had gone missing from her home in Glasgow, was not passed onto the police inquiry team. Janet McKay's body was later discovered in Clydebank, more than a week after her disappearance.

An inquiry has been ordered into how police responded to a pensioner's death in Edinburgh.

The regulator said it wanted to determine if the deal would result in a "substantial lessening of competition". The two companies agreed the terms of the merger, which will create the UK's biggest asset manager, in March. If it goes ahead, Aberdeen shareholders will own 33.3% and Standard Life shareholders 66.7% of the merged firm. The two companies have a combined worldwide workforce of about 9,000 people. It is expected that about 800 jobs will go in a three-year integration period. "This is one of a number of regulatory and antitrust approvals being sought as part of the merger process. Approval for the merger has already been granted by competition authorities in the US and Germany," Standard Life said in a statement. The plan is for the company to be renamed Standard Life Aberdeen plc. Both companies have agreed on a 16-strong board made up of an equal number of Standard Life and Aberdeen directors. Standard Life chairman Sir Gerry Grimstone is to be the chairman of the new firm, while Aberdeen's chairman, Simon Troughton, will become deputy chairman. Keith Skeoch, the Standard Life chief executive, and Aberdeen boss Martin Gilbert will become co-chief executives of the new firm. A general meeting has been scheduled for June at which shareholders will be asked to approve the merger. The two firms want to conclude the deal by mid-August.

The Competition and Markets Authority has opened an investigation into the planned £11bn merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management.

At nearly 8,000 yards, the 11-year-old links-style layout will be the longest course in the championship's history. World number one and defending champion Dustin Johnson heads the field in Wisconsin, where knee-high rough has dominated the pre-tournament debate. The first tee shot will be hit at 12:45 BST on Thursday. American defending champion Johnson missed the Masters in April after slipping on steps and hurting his back on the eve of the tournament. Fit again, the big-hitting 32-year-old is bidding to become the first player to win back-to-back US Opens since Curtis Strange in 1988 and 1989. Johnson had said he would not travel to Erin Hills until the birth of his second child with his expectant partner Paulina Gretzky. But after arriving in Wisconsin on Tuesday evening following the birth of his son, the world number one says he is ready for the course's challenge. "I like really tough golf courses," said Johnson, who won by three shots at Oakmont last year. "I tend to focus more and play better. It's just a very, very difficult tournament to win." Johnson will be grouped with previous US Open winners Jordan Spieth and Martin Kaymer in Thursday's opening round. Spieth beat fellow American Johnson to the title in 2015 and was in contention until the final round last year. "It's always a physical test," said the world number five. "It's a big golf course. It's a tough one to walk." The 23-year-old Texan has failed to add to his major tally since 2015, when he also won the Masters, and has just one PGA Tour victory to his name this season. But he is one of the few players in this week's field to have competitive experience of Erin Hills, having played at the venue in the 2011 US Amateur Championship. "Most of all it certainly tests the mental game more than any other place in golf," added Spieth. "And I've witnessed that on both sides of things. "If you came for a stress-free tournament you didn't come to the right place. And we know that going in." Media playback is not supported on this device World number two Rory McIlroy has insisted he is "totally fine" and ready to challenge this week as he returns to action after a month out because of injury. The Northern Irishman believes the Erin Hills course is one he can thrive on. "I don't think it's a secret that I feel like my driver is one of the biggest weapons in my bag," he said. "If I can get that in my hands more regularly, and I think if the field has to hit driver more, that plays into my hands too." Spaniard Sergio Garcia heads into the tournament on the back of his first major win, claiming the Green Jacket at Augusta in April. The 37-year-old world number seven hopes to draw on his Masters win in the season's second major. "Every tournament is tough to win and majors are even tougher," he said. "And a US Open, we all know how difficult they are." In the modern era, only two players have won multiple majors after claiming their first aged 37 or older, with Angel Cabrera winning his first of two at that age and Mark O'Meara winning twice in 1998 aged 41. "I still feel in good shape and my game feels nice. I'm still working hard on it," added Garcia. Debate around the cut of the rough at Erin Hills has divided opinion among those set to play the longest course in major history this weekend. The striking aspect of this venue is the distance - the par-five 18th can stretch to 675 yards - but the United States Golf Association (USGA) has faced questions over knee-high grass that lurks a few feet off the fairways. Fescue was cut from holes four, 12, 14 and 18 on Tuesday as organisers believed wet weather made the areas unplayable - especially with more rain forecast for the tournament days. Many holes feature blind or semi-blind tee-shots, while the course's mid-section runs on an outward-inward path that will ensure players face variable winds. Spain's Jon Rahm said the US Open venue was "like a links golf course on steroids". "But I think it's US Open, they expect our best," added the 22-year-old. England's Lee Westwood posted a video of his caddie crawling through the rough, while American Kevin Na was more scathing of the set-up. But McIlroy and Spieth both dismissed claims there was anything wrong with the lie. The Northern Irishman said: "If we can't hit within that avenue, you might as well pack your bags and go home." Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson said earlier this month he was likely to miss the tournament to attend daughter Amanda's high school graduation in California on Thursday. Mickelson retains a tee-time, but unless the weather conspires in the 46-year-old's favour he will not return in time for the first round. Amanda was born a day after the championship in 1999 when Mickelson finished second to Payne Stewart, with the US Open the only major still to elude the American. With Tiger Woods also absent, this year's US Open could be the first time since 1994 that neither player has featured in the first round. World number two McIlroy heads the UK's hopefuls, but England's Justin Rose is another former champion hoping to impress in Wisconsin this week. Rose, who suffered a play-off loss to Garcia at the Masters in April, is looking to be in the mix come Father's Day on Sunday. "I do feel like I'm beginning to trend into this tournament," said the 36-year-old, who dedicated his 2013 triumph to his late father Ken. "So although the results might not be there to kind of back that up, I feel good about where the week can go for me from here." Compatriot Tyrell Hatton is making his US Open debut and will be in the sixth group out on Thursday. "It's a dream come true for me to be playing in the majors," the world number 18 told BBC Sport. "If I can stay relaxed and play my A game I'll have a good week." Ian Poulter has shown form since retaining his tour card and climbed more than 100 places by finishing tied second at last month's Players Championship. The 41-year-old will be joined by the likes of Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Andrew 'Beef' Johnston in a 14-strong English contingent. Scotland's Russell Knox, Martin Laird and Richie Ramsay are in the field, as is Wales' Bradley Dredge and Northern Ireland's former winner Graeme McDowell. Aaron Rai. The 22-year-old from Wolverhampton will be making his major debut having earned his US Open spot by winning the international sectional qualifier at Walton Heath. The world number 166, who was playing on the Alps Tour six months ago, secured his first Challenge Tour victory earlier this season when he won the Kenya Open. "It's a dream come true to play in any major, and with it being the US Open it makes it extra special," he said. "I've just had the best six or seven months of my life."

Yet the train was supposed to make the job of erecting thousands of electrification masts much easier. Two years ago, Network Rail was boasting about how it would slash years off the project. Network Rail would not comment on the performance of the train, but admitted there had been "hiccups" on what is the first major rail electrification project in the UK for a generation. Rail insiders paint a more calamitous picture. So what's gone wrong with the Hops train - and what role has it played in Network Rail's current woes? "The whole electrification project for the Great Western line was really based on the High Output train because of the amount of work it could do so much more quickly," said rail journalist Tony Miles. "The two went hand-in-hand and the completion date was all really based on working out how many miles this high output train would do every day. And the moment it couldn't do that work it was obvious everything was going to fall apart." The Hops train was supposed to dig holes, put up overhead wire supports, fill the holes with concrete and hang the wires - at the rate of about a mile each night. Engineering insiders told the BBC that a newly designed wiring system did not match the specification of the holes the Hops train was designed to dig and that a new design of pile-tubes hammered into the ground to house the thousands of electrification masts - went in too deep after ground surveys were missed. But, according to Roger Ford of Modern Railways magazine, even where the Hops train has managed to dig holes, it has damaged existing signalling cables. For him, the recent decision to "reset" Network Rail's £38bn maintenance and enhancement programme reveals the size of Network Rail's problems. "It's short on experienced engineers and experienced operators - people who know how to run a railway. One of the problems is we have a lot of people who run Network Rail who know nothing about railways," he said. "I think we just lost the focus on the operational railway." Network Rail said the scale and complexity of the work on the Great Western line - some 14,000 electrification masts need to be erected - has presented them with "unique challenges". So far, they had dug some 2,000 holes for the masts and erected 600 masts, with the pace increasing every day. Transport Secretary Patrick McLaughlin has told Parliament that Network Rail must now "pause" its other big projects - including the politically charged electrification of lines in the north of England and the Midlands - and concentrate its efforts on getting the electrification of the Great Western right. But Louise Ellman, who chairs the Transport Select Committee, questions whether the other projects will get done at all. "Costs have escalated, particularly on the Great Western line where the costs have now trebled, and it seems to be that other programmes might lose out as a result," she said. "What that means in practice is that the work that was planned across the North to electrify the line from Manchester to Leeds and Hull, appears to be paused indefinitely and major works have been stopped on the Midland Mainline - so it's now a big question mark on just what's going to proceed and when." But, for rail journalists like Tony Miles, just getting the Hops train out of its specially built shed in Swindon - known as the Hoob, or High Output Operating Base - doesn't mean the Great Western electrification is back on solid ground yet. Obstacles ahead on the Great Western line include untangling the signal, track and electrics around the listed Bristol Temple Meads station in Bristol - not least because the new inter-city trains bought by the government for this line are too long for Brunel's curved platforms. "It was decided by the Department for Transport that the new trains will be 26m long per vehicle and our railways are built for 23m long," said Tony Miles. "So if they go around a tightly curved platform the middle bit will scrape on the platform edge. It's simple physics." The Department for Transport said it was always known that work would be required on the platforms at Bristol Temple Meads to provide the clearance for the new trains - something that was factored into the plans at the start of the project and was part of the overall package of improvements on the line. The department also assured the BBC that £38bn is still available to make the improvements needed on the UK's railways and said Network Rail had already delivered some improvements. Network Rail admitted some of their plans for big projects like the Great Western were "overly optimistic", but would work with its new chairman to re-plan the programme in the next few months. "On the big items like electrification and capital projects, it was always part of the regulatory process that the costs and programme would be revisited as projects became properly defined," said Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne. "Unfortunately when these reviews have occurred, the more detailed project costs have been higher than assumed at the earliest stages of definition. As a result, the total enhancement programme cost now exceeds the available five-year budget. Some projects are also delayed beyond the original dates." Off track: Network Rail on BBC Radio 4's File on 4 is available to listen to after transmission on Tuesday 7 July at 20:00. A radical teachers' union attacked the offices of five political parties in Chiapas state in the south of the country. Meanwhile in Guerrero state, explosive devices were thrown into a conservative party's office. A number of candidates and numerous campaign workers have also been killed in drug-related violence. On Sunday, Mexican voters will choose Congressmen, governors and mayors. Correspondents say it has been some of the worst political violence in Mexico's history. The biggest concerns for electoral officers have been Guerrero and Oaxaca, where tens of thousands of ballots were burnt by protesters. They took furniture and papers from the ruling PRI party offices in the city of Oaxaca and burnt them outside. Others set fire to political pamphlets in front of PRI headquarters in Guerrero. Despite the unrest, electoral officials say the elections will go ahead on Sunday. It is the first major test for President Enrique Pena Nieto who has been trying to fulfil his 2012 election promise to bring peace to Mexico after years of drug cartel violence. Opinion polls show his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and its allies are expected to retain their majority in Congress despite concerns over their track record on security. This year, millions of Mexicans held marches across the country for months to protest against the government's response to the disappearance of 43 student teachers in the town of Iguala in Guerrero state last year. The former world champion says Lanarkshire's Burns can be the first to beat the American, and says it would rank as one of the great British wins. "If he wins, it will be one of the best wins in a British ring for some time," Hatton said. "This is Ricky's chance for his name to go seriously up in lights." He's a wonderful success story, getting a world title, and he's not just got to the world title, he's fighting the best in the division Burns will be defending his WBO world lightweight title for the fifth time when the two clash at the Glasgow SECC on Saturday night, with many expecting Crawford to provide the toughest test of his career. Hatton, who defeated the great Kostya Tszyu in 2005 to capture the IBF light-welterweight crown, compared Saturday's fight to his own memorable win in his home city of Manchester that night. "It's a credit to Ricky that he's taken this fight on," said Hatton, now a boxing promoter. "Crawford is probably one of the most dangerous fighters in the division and that just sums Ricky Burns up. "He's a wonderful success story, getting a world title, and he's not just got to the world title, he's fighting the best in the division. "If he can pull it off, this will be a fight he'll be remembered for when he hangs his gloves up in years to come." Crawford boasts a record of 22 wins - 16 by way of knockout - with no defeats. Burns will have the support of 10,000 fans and, as a man who enjoyed many fights in front of a passionate home support, Hatton thinks the Scottish crowd can roar him on to victory. "It will be like the extra man for him when the fight is getting hard," Hatton said. "When that crowd roars he needs to use it to his strength, not play to the crowd, not get involved in a war. "He (Crawford) will never have boxed in this type of atmosphere. The Scottish fans are always very, very passionate. He might not travel well this kid, so right from the off get in amongst him, put him under pressure and let's see what he's made of. Maybe Ricky can pull away with a points win." Burns clung on to his world title after a controversial draw in his previous bout against Raymundo Beltran back in September, when he suffered a broken jaw. Hatton concedes that the injury will be on Burns' mind but that he wouldn't have taken the fight if he was not physically ready. "I have no doubt it will be playing on his mind, but Ricky and his coach wouldn't have accepted the fight if they didn't think the jaw was going to stand up," said "Ricky's been in the game a long time now, as has his trainer Billy Nelson - they're not daft. It will be in the back of his mind, but he's experienced enough to know what he's doing." You can hear more from Ricky Hatton on Sport Nation at 1100 this Saturday morning on BBC Radio Scotland 92-95FM, on digital and online. The team said its experiment showed that there was a very slight warming at ground level and that it was localised to within a wind farm's perimeter. Data suggested the operation of onshore wind farms did not have an adverse ecological effect, the group added. The findings have been published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. "For a long time there have been some concerns about what effects wind farms could have on the local climate and the land surface," explained co-author Stephen Mobbs, director of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, based at the University of Leeds. "To be honest, it was mostly speculation with nothing very concrete. We set out to actually measure what was going on." Prof Mobbs and his colleagues focused on Black Law wind farm, Scotland, which has been operating since 2005. With 54 turbines and a generation capacity of 124 megawatts, it is one of the UK's largest arrays of onshore turbines. The team installed temperature and humidity sensors across the 18.6 square kilometres site. "We had a fantastic opportunity when [the operators] turned the wind farm off for several months for some major maintenance," he explained. "What we were able to do, which had not been possible before, is to compare the effects with and without the turbines rotating." Prof Mobbs observed: "For the first time, we have been able to detect a climatic effect - there definitely is one. He said that some people may consider the findings to be bad news for supporters of wind energy, however he said it was probably the opposite. "Although we have been able to do a very careful experiment and detect the effect, we are now able to show - in a way that could not be done before - that this effect is very small," he added. "Even in the most extreme conditions, the warming was no more than about a fifth of a degree Celsius in temperature. "Because we have been able to definitively detect the effect, we can also definitively say that the effect is extremely small and it is not something people should be worried about." The way turbines alter the local climatic conditions were quite easy to explain, he observed. "What happens on clear nights is that the ground surface cools as a result of radiation to space and you get a layer of cold air close to the ground - this has been well-known for a hundred years or so. "On such nights, if you were to go up a tower, etc, to the height of a turbine (approximately 70m), then you would find a natural difference in temperature - up to a few degrees warmer than it was at the ground. This is perfectly natural. "If you put a rotating turbine into this scenario then you start to bring some of this warmer air from the turbine height down towards the cooler ground-level surface. Equally, you will be moving cold air from the surface higher up. This is how you see the warming effect. "Although it is getting warmer at the surface, it is not adding heat anywhere; it is just mixing it up." Prof Mobbs said the team's data revealed that the impact of the turbines was "just one very small effect alongside many other existing effects". But he added: "For us it is significant that we found it because if we did not find it then people could have thought that maybe there was something there but it had not been recorded. "We have found it and we can prove that it is very small. There are much bigger effects going on rather than the installation of the wind farm, such as nearby forests or changes in altitude." Follow Mark on Twitter Addressing a rally on Saturday, he had said, "look at what's happening last night in Sweden", as he listed parts of Europe hit by terrorist attacks. With no such incident reported in Sweden on Friday, the country asked the US administration for an explanation. Mr Trump tweeted on Sunday that he had been referring to a TV report. He said it had been broadcast on Fox News but did not say when. He may have been referring to a Fox News programme on Friday night, which looked at refugees and crime in Sweden. Despite his words "happening last night in Sweden", White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said separately that Mr Trump had been talking about rising crime and recent incidents in general, not referring to a specific issue. Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt was among those who mocked Mr Trump's comment, suggesting that he had "been smoking". Social media users ridiculed the American leader, joking about imaginary situations involving Swedish institutions like the pop group Abba and furniture store Ikea. On Sunday, Mr Trump tweeted: "My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden." The Fox News report looked at gun violence and rape in Sweden since it opened its doors to large numbers of asylum-seekers in 2013. Fox News is known to be among Donald Trump's favourite cable TV channels. President Trump's remarks came at a big rally in Florida. "You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden," he said. "Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what's happening in Brussels, you look at what's happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice, take a look at Paris." No terrorist incidents were reported in Sweden on Friday. Sweden's Aftonbladet website summarised the news events of that day, which included: The mocking hashtag #lastnightinSweden was soon trending on Twitter. Donald Trump's comment came just weeks after one of his key advisers, Kellyanne Conway, cited a non-existent attack dubbed the "Bowling Green massacre". Sweden, with a population of about 9.5m, has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees and migrants in recent years - more per capita than any other European country. It saw a sharp increase in asylum seekers in 2015, with more than 160,000 people arriving. With the influx, tensions also rose with some isolated attacks on immigrants, as well as pro- and anti-migrant demonstrations. The killing of a 22-year-old woman in January 2016 by an asylum seeker based at the centre where she worked put further pressure on the government to reassess its approach to refugees. There was a drop in numbers last year after the country introduced new border checks incurring longer processing times, as well as financial incentives for migrants who voluntarily returned to their country of origin. No terrorist attacks have been recorded in Sweden since the country's open-door policy on migration began in 2013. However, Sweden is believed to have the highest number of Islamic State fighters per capita in Europe. About 140 of the 300 who went to Syria and Iraq have since returned, leaving the authorities to grapple with how best to reintegrate them into society. How Sweden became an exporter of jihad Work to repair what has been described as "extensive damage" at Taynuilt has been scheduled to be completed by Monday. ScotRail said a bus shuttle service will operate from Oban to Dalmally, calling at stations along the route. The operator said the bus replacement service would run "as close to train time as possible". Ryan Sidebottom took 3-38, for match figures of 6-60, as Lancashire resuming on 141-4, were bowled out for 209. Tim Bresnan took 3-50, while Ben Coad got the key wicket of Shiv Chanderpaul for career-best match figures of 8-59. Yorkshire openers Adam Lyth and Alex Lees then polished off the target, reaching 61-0 to win by 10 wickets. Having begun the third day still nine runs behind, but with six wickets left, with Chanderpaul and Dane Vilas at the crease, Lancashire still had realistic hopes of saving the game, or at least stretching it into the final day. But they crucially lost Vilas and Chanderpaul, the second highest scorer in the match following Lyth's crucial first-innings century, on 149-6, before they had gone past Yorkshire's first-innings score. Vilas edged to slip off Sidebottom without adding to his overnight 22, to only the 14th ball of the day, then Chanderpaul, who had added just four to his overnight score, was caught behind for 47 off youngster Coad, his second wicket of the innings, and eighth of the match. The 22-year-old Harrogate-born paceman, who had taken just two first-class wickets before the start of this season, has now taken 35 first-class wickets this season, more than anyone else in the country. Ryan McLaren and Jordan Clark (35) held up Yorkshire with a seventh-wicket stand of 48. But, Bresnan then finished things off, taking three wickets in 16 balls as Lancashire lost their last four wickets for 12 runs inside 27 balls. He had McLaren caught at third slip, then had both Clark, controversially, and Stephen Parry caught behind, either side of Sidebottom accounting for Tom Bailey. Having started this game a place behind their old rivals in fifth, Yorkshire's second win of the season, with the best part of five sessions to spare, lifts them above Lancashire, into third in the Division One table. Lancashire avoided a points deduction in this match by operating for 19 of Yorkshire's 21 overs with spinners Steven Croft, Stephen Parry and even England Test opener Haseeb Hameed as they improved their minus three over-rate from the first innings. Lancashire's next game starts this Friday (9 June), when they host reigning county champions Middlesex at Southport. Yorkshire also start their next four-day game the same day, when they must travel to Taunton to play bottom-of-the-table Somerset. Yorkshire coach Andrew Gale told BBC Radio Leeds: "We were outstanding from start to finish. We dominated the game. I've just said in the dressing room that 'we strive for perfection'. And the only area was we should have got a 250-lead, not 150. "Other than that, I asked us to be more ruthless. Our catching was a lot better. As a bowling unit, we were top drawer. As good as you'll see in county cricket. "I'm pleased for Lythy because you always go through a lean patch as a batter. He's worked really hard and put a decent shift in in the nets. I'm pleased he's got his rewards. "This period of games is massive in the scheme of the season. I said before this game that it won't be won and lost in this period, but you can make some dents in the table." Lancashire coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Manchester: "Yorkshire basically won the game on a pretty spicy pitch. They were pretty relentless on the first day and we weren't able to match that. "It comes to down to old fashioned English conditions, which were bowler friendly. And the Yorkshire bowlers were outstanding. "We didn't live up to their bowling, especially Ryan Sidebottom and Ben Coad early on. They just hammered out a length and gave our batsmen nowhere to go. "I don't think it was down to the toss at all. It was basically the quality of our bowling didn't match theirs. We have to take that on the chin." Yorkshire's Brunt, 29, has not featured since back trouble ended her Ashes-winning tour of Australia in January. Berkshire opener Heather Knight, 23, is appointed vice-captain to Charlotte Edwards for all three series. Uncapped Nottinghamshire seamer Sonia Odedra wins her first call-up for a one-off Test with India on 13 August. Left-arm seamer Natasha Farrant is also fit again and is in the squad for the three T20 internationals against South Africa in September. Also in the squad for all three series is Warwickshire spinner Rebecca Grundy, who played in the Women's World Twenty20 earlier this year but is uncapped in the Test or ODI format. The three one-day matches against India will form the first round of the new Women's Championship, a qualifying event for the 2017 World Cup. Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand will play three one-day games against each other over the next two years, with points awarded for each match and the top four gaining automatic qualification for the World Cup. Sussex's Georgia Elwiss has been ruled out for the rest of the summer with a broken hand. Laura Marsh, who has had an extended lay-off from international cricket following major shoulder surgery during the winter, will lead an England academy squad of 14 which also includes Fran Wilson and Danielle Wyatt. They will play a two-day match against India at Loughborough starting on 7 August, a 50-over match against India at Harrogate on 18 August and T20s against South Africa at Southend on 29 and 30 August. England squad: Charlotte Edwards (capt), Heather Knight (vice capt), Tammy Beaumont, Katherine Brunt (ODIs & T20s only), Kathryn Cross, Natasha Farrant (T20s only), Lydia Greenway, Rebecca Grundy, Jenny Gunn, Danielle Hazell, Amy Jones (wk), Sonia Odedra (Test match only), Natalie Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Sarah Taylor (wk), Lauren Winfield. Sammie Welch, 23, was travelling with her three-year-old son from Birmingham to Plymouth last Thursday when she was given the message and a £5 note. Ken Saunders, 50, from Wiltshire, was tracked down after a social media campaign to find him. He told ITV's Good Morning Britain it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. The note, in capital letters, read: "Have a drink on me. You are a credit to your generation, polite and teaching the little boy good manners. "PS I have a daughter your age, someone did the same for her once. Hope when she has children she is as good a mother as you. Have a lovely evening." It was signed, "Man on train at table with glasses and hat". Ms Welch, from Plymouth, thanked Mr Saunders when they were brought together on the ITV programme. "I don't think you realise the impact you actually had and what you actually did for us," she said. Mr Saunders said: "It had been a very long week and a long day and I was on the train, as you know, and it was just endearing." "She came on; the little boy was a bubbly little boy. And he coughed and she said, 'Oh Rylan, put your hand in front of your mouth', and then he practised it quite a bit after that. "Then he said, 'What?', and she said, 'No, pardon, Rylan'. It was quite funny, it was entertaining. It was all just very endearing." Mr Saunders added: "Youngsters today are much maligned and I thought, here is a great role model, great mother and I just thought, this is lovely." It is the only time Ed Miliband and David Cameron will appear together on TV ahead of 7 May's polling day. The Labour and Tory leaders debated zero hours contracts and spending cuts in the ITV-hosted contest. But some of the sharpest exchanges in the two hour event came when Lib Dem Nick Clegg clashed with Mr Cameron. Snap polls taken after the debate gave a mixed verdict. A YouGov poll of 1,100 people gave a clear victory to the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, with 28%, followed by UKIP leader Nigel Farage on 20%, Mr Cameron on 18%, Mr Miliband on 15%, Mr Clegg on 10%, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett on 5% and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood on 4%. But a ComRes poll for ITV made it a dead-heat between Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband, Mr Farage and Ms Sturgeon, although Mr Cameron came out on top on the question of who was most capable of leading the country. Mr Miliband was judged best performer in an ICM poll for the Guardian, taking 25% of support, just ahead of David Cameron on 24%. Analysis by BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson There was no game changer. No single "moment", no zinger, no gaffe which looks set to re-shape the course of this election. Save perhaps for one. That was the presence on the stage of not two or three party leaders but seven - a debate in which the talk of a new sort of politics, multi-party politics, became visible reality. If that gives a boost for UKIP's Nigel Farage with his laser focus on immigration and his attack on the "Westminster parties" - as the early instant polls suggest - it will worry the Tories. If it also promotes Natalie Bennett's Greens, Nicola Sturgeon's SNP and Leanne Wood's Plaid Cymru after their assault on austerity - it will frighten Labour. The consequence could be an outcome more unpredictable and more uncertain than any election for years. Read Nick's full blog here. In some of the testiest exchanges, Mr Clegg accused Mr Cameron of wanting to cut the money going into schools - Mr Cameron denied this and accused the Lib Dem leader of taking a "pick and mix approach" to decisions they had made together in cabinet. Ed Miliband attacked Mr Clegg for "betraying young people" over tuition fees - a clearly riled Mr Clegg attacked the Labour leader's "pious stance" and challenged Mr Miliband to apologise to the British public for "crashing the economy". Mr Miliband said Labour had admitted getting it wrong over bank regulation. Nicola Sturgeon took a firm line against austerity and signalled areas, such as increasing the top rate of income tax, where she could work with Labour but said getting more SNP MPs elected to Westminster was needed to "keep them honest". Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood and the Green Party's Natalie Bennett joined Ms Sturgeon in stressing their anti-austerity credentials. The verdict of the snap opinion polls UKIP leader Nigel Farage risked controversy by highlighting the number of foreign nationals with HIV who he said were treated by the NHS, saying: "We have to look after our own people first." Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood said Mr Farage "ought to be ashamed of himself" for deploying "scaremongering rhetoric". Mr Farage also clashed directly with David Cameron on the issue of immigration, saying he stood no chance of getting agreement from other EU leaders to restrict the free movement of people. Mr Cameron rejected this and accused Mr Farage of wanting to get a Labour government through the "back door". He said: "We do need immigration that's controlled and fair. In recent decades it's been too high and I want to see it come down." Mr Farage responded: "As members of the EU, what can we do to control immigration? Let me tell you - nothing." It was a relatively even-tempered debate, with few examples of the leaders shouting across each other, but a woman from the audience attempted to disrupt proceedings, shouting "they are not listening to us" as Mr Cameron gave an answer on the armed forces. The heckler, Victoria Prosser, 33, from Salford, told reporters she challenged David Cameron because she wanted people to question "the 1% at the top" who she said were not working in the country's interests. Mr Miliband repeatedly described what he would do "if I am prime minister", in raising the minimum wage, banning exploitative zero-hours contracts and "rescuing our NHS". Mr Clegg directly challenged Mr Cameron over his decision not to ask the richest to pay more towards deficit reduction, but instead to impose "ideologically-driven cuts". Responding to Mr Cameron's casting of the election as a choice between "competence and chaos", the Lib Dem leader urged him to "imagine the chaos in people's lives" caused by cuts in spending on health, schools and childcare. Mr Cameron said the wealthy would be the target of a £5bn crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion. He then turned the spotlight on Mr Miliband, who he said "still thinks the last Labour government didn't tax too much, borrow too much and spend too much". Green Party leader Natalie Bennett got things under way with an anti-austerity message, saying there was an "alternative" to making the poor and disadvantaged pay for the mistakes of bankers. Nigel Farage said the other six parties were all the same because they supported EU membership, adding he wanted to "take back control of our borders". Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said no one would win the election and voters should think about who they want to see in coalition, saying his party offered "grit" in government. Nicola Sturgeon had a message of "friendship" for the rest of the UK, saying the SNP will work with other "parties of like mind" to end the "bedroom tax" and protect the NHS. Ed Miliband said Labour had a better plan for the country and vowed to ban exploitative "zero hours" contracts and "save" the NHS. David Cameron said the Conservatives' economic plan was working, adding: "Let's not go back to square one, Britain can do so much better than that." Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood had an anti-austerity message and said her party can "win for Wales" in a hung Parliament. Campaigning was quieter than usual on Thursday, as most of the party leaders spent the afternoon preparing for the TV clash. The seven-way debate emerged from tortuous negotiations between the parties and the broadcasters, with David Cameron refusing a direct head-to-head with Ed Miliband. A question and answer programme featuring David Cameron and Ed Miliband appearing separately, was hosted by Channel 4 and Sky News last week, and a BBC debate involving opposition party leaders, moderated by David Dimbleby on 16 April. There will also be a special Question Time on BBC One, a week before polling day, with Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg appearing one after the other to answer questions from a studio audience. The Democratic Unionist Party, which has eight MPs, has criticised its exclusion from the programme. • Subscribe to the BBC Election 2015 newsletter to get a round-up of the day's campaign news sent to your inbox every weekday afternoon. Media playback is not supported on this device The 23-year-old France midfielder, who joined for £89m in August, scored twice in Thursday's 4-1 Europa League win over Fenerbahce after a subdued display in Monday's 0-0 draw at Liverpool. "Two days ago he was the worst player in the Premier League and 48 hours later he's phenomenal," said Mourinho. "He needs time. I'm happy with his performance. He has what we need." Mourinho, who spent two seasons in charge of Inter Milan and led them to the Champions League as part of a treble in 2010, believes Pogba is getting used to a different style of football to that at former club Juventus. "I was in Italy and I know the characteristics, the pace and intensity," the 53-year-old Portuguese added. "To be in Italy for four or five years and then come back to the Premier League, I was not expecting him to adjust in a click of fingers." Pogba, who said after the match that he felt "comfortable with all the team", now has three goals in 10 games for United. Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial also scored for United, with former Red Devils striker Robin van Persie applauded warmly after scoring a late consolation Another of United's summer signings, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, has to "work more" if he wants to be involved in the first team, according to Mourinho. The 27-year-old Armenia midfielder, who arrived in a £26m transfer from Borussia Dortmund, is no longer injured but has not appeared since being substituted at half-time during the derby defeat by Manchester City on 10 September. "He has to work more to get the intensity to play at a high level," said Mourinho. "We played with Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial. I am not Einstein. I don't know a tactical system with four wingers. "It would be much better for him to work the way he did yesterday in a specific session. He must wait for his chance but he is ready very soon." BBC Sport's Simon Stone at Old Trafford Four goals, a win and a goal for an old favourite. As European evenings go at Old Trafford, this was a good one for Manchester United and their fans. But Mourinho knows his tricky week is only two-thirds through. He has a draw from a trip to Liverpool. On Sunday, he must go to Stamford Bridge, the ground he called home for so long, and a meeting with Chelsea that is bound to be emotional, but, given United are slightly off the pace in the Premier League, one he must get something from. Mic Medeska: The reason for the goals is Carrick. Pogba can get forward and the attackers know he's back there. Confidence. Kenny Kong: Now THAT is the sort of goals MUFC paid so much for Pogba for, what a beauty. Khushil Hirani: Surely Mourinho has to look to Carrick to balance the team at Stamford Bridge on Sunday? The Office for National Statistics' (ONS) second estimate of GDP growth for the quarter was unrevised. The growth estimate for 2015 was also unchanged at 2.2%, which was the slowest annual pace since 2012. However, the UK economy remains one of the fastest growing of the developed nations. The ONS noted that the fourth quarter of 2015 was the 12th consecutive quarter of growth, compared with the erratic pattern of behaviour between 2009 and 2012. ONS chief economist Joe Grice said: "Once again, the buoyancy of the services sector has offset the relative sluggishness of the rest of the UK economy." Output in UK's services sector grew 0.7% in the three months to the end of December. Household spending slowed slightly in the quarter, but still rose by 0.7%. However, the production sector and net trade dragged on growth in the final three months of 2015. Production output, which includes heavy industry, energy and manufacturing, contracted by 0.5% in the fourth quarter compared with the previous three months. Vicky Redwood, economist at Capital Economics, warned "the recovery remains entirely dependent on consumer spending". Chris Williamson, economist at research firm Markit, said the ONS data painted "a picture of an unbalanced economy that is once again reliant on consumer spending to drive growth as business shows increased signs of risk aversion". "Growth is being supported by firms increasing the wages paid to workers alongside low inflation, which is clearly good for household incomes in the short term. But for a sustainable recovery, which involves improvements in productivity and profits, we also need to see business investment revive, something which will only happen when business confidence lifts higher again." Last month, Chancellor George Osborne warned that the economy was facing a "dangerous cocktail" of risks in 2016, ranging from slowing global economic growth to volatile stock markets and the continuing slump in oil prices. On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the UK economy's recent performance had been "strong", but added that the referendum on EU membership was a "risk and uncertainty". The IMF also said that the global economy had weakened further and warned it was "highly vulnerable to adverse shocks". It said the weakening had come "amid increasing financial turbulence and falling asset prices". The IMF's report comes before the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Shanghai later this week. It said China's slowdown was adding to global economic growth concerns. China's economy, the second-biggest in the world, is growing at the slowest rate in 25 years. "Growth in advanced economies is modest already under the baseline, as low demand in some countries and a broad-based weakening of potential growth continue to hold back the recovery," the Washington-based IMF said. The complaint is from 17 workers who are "extremely unhappy" at seeing their pay rates change for weekends, bank holidays and night shifts. Leigh Day, the law firm acting for the workers, estimated thousands of long-term Tesco staff, mainly in their 40s, could be affected. Tesco said workers would receive a "transition payment" for the changes. The employees have started the process towards making a claim in an employment tribunal, according to Leigh Day. Pay changes announced by Tesco in February included an hourly wage rise, but also cuts to the rates paid to some Sunday and bank holiday staff. Under the changes, staff would receive time and a half for Sunday and bank holiday shifts from July, whereas previously some had received double time. A Tesco spokesperson said: "The minority of colleagues who were negatively impacted by this change were supported with an agreed lump sum transition payment." Paula Lee from Leigh Day said its clients, who have worked for Tesco for at least 16 years, felt "their loyalty was being taken advantage of". She said: "Our clients are extremely unhappy that they have had their wages reduced in this way. "These long-serving employees are especially angry that they only found out about the decision when news was leaked to the national press in January 2016. "They feel hurt, bewildered and frightened that this could happen again." The law firm claims a night premium was also scrapped. They allege they were forced to work off the clock and not paid overtime. Workers in New York said they were not reimbursed the cost of cleaning their uniforms, which they claim pushed their real wages below the minimum limit. The firm said it was committed to fair treatment of employees and was "reviewing the allegations". "McDonald's and our independent franchisees are committed to undertaking a comprehensive investigation of the allegations and will take any necessary actions as they apply to our respective organisations," it said in a statement. The workers have filed a total of seven class action lawsuits in the three states. In three California suits, workers claim that McDonald's and its franchise owners "failed to pay them for all time worked, failed to pay proper overtime" and "altered pay records". The cases in Michigan claim the firm "regularly forces workers to show up for work, but then forces them to wait without pay until enough customers show up, and that it also routinely violates minimum wage laws". Lawyer Michael Rubin, of Altshuler Berzon LLP, who filed the California suits, said: "We've uncovered several unlawful schemes, but they all share a common purpose - to drive labour costs down by stealing wages from McDonald's workers." The lawsuits come just as President Barack Obama is expected to announce tougher rules on overtime pay. Fast food companies have already been under increasing pressure to raise wages, and workers at various outlets, including McDonald's, have held strikes in recent months. Earlier this month, McDonald's said that growing concerns over income inequality may force it to raise its wages. It said the public focus on the issue "may intensify" over the coming months. The 40-year-old Deila arrived in June 2014 having won the Norwegian championship with Stromsgodset in his homeland. In his first season, he led Celtic to a fourth consecutive league title and lifted the Scottish League Cup with a 2-0 victory over Dundee United. A second title under Deila seems certain as they lead the Scottish Premiership by eight points from Aberdeen.

It comes amid mounting speculation that Nicola Sturgeon is moving towards calling for a second referendum on Scottish independence. BBC Scotland's political editor Brian Taylor said he did not expect Ms Sturgeon to name a date for a referendum. But he said it would be "at least" a final warning to the UK government. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "I think it will be the final warning to the UK government saying to deal with Scotland, deal substantially with Scotland, set out terms for the way Scotland will be treated distinctively, or else. "But I think she will go further than that. I think that she is probably getting, like the rest of us, slightly exasperated by tiptoeing towards the referendum. "And I think it will be the detailed terms as to how and when and where and why a referendum takes place, and I think she will set it out in very precise terms". Ms Sturgeon will make her statement at her official Bute House residence in Edinburgh at 11:30 GMT as legislation paving the way for the UK prime minister to begin the formal Brexit negotiations faces its final test in parliament. If the Article 50 Bill triggering the exit from the EU is passed, it could win royal assent as early as Tuesday, allowing Mrs May to begin the two-year Brexit process. Ms Sturgeon has previously hinted that the autumn of 2018 would be a suitable time to call a referendum unless the prime minister accepts a series of demands set out by the Scottish government ahead of the formal triggering of Brexit. The demands include allowing Scotland to remain a member of the European single market even if the rest of the UK leaves. Theresa May has promised to examine the proposals - but has not indicated that she is likely to accept them. Scottish voters rejected independence by 55% to 45% in the referendum in September 2014. Recent opinion polls have suggested there continues to be a narrow majority in favour of remaining the UK - although the gap may have closed since Mrs May's speech outlining her plans for Brexit, The Scottish Parliament currently has a narrow pro-independence majority, with the SNP and Greens in favour and the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats opposed. If MSPs were to vote to hold a referendum, they would require the permission of Westminster to make it legally binding - but the prime minister has so far avoided saying whether or not she would give consent. However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said at the weekend that he would be "absolutely fine" with a second referendum if Holyrood voted for one, and said it was not the job of Labour "to prevent people holding referenda". His comments sparked a furious reaction from senior Scottish Labour figures, including economy spokeswoman Jackie Baillie and the party's only MP in Scotland, Ian Murray. Speaking to the BBC's Today programme on Monday morning, Mr Corbyn attempted to clarify his remarks. He said: "If the Scottish Parliament decided they wanted to have a referendum then it would be wrong for Westminster to block it. "But let's be absolutely clear, I do not think there should be another referendum, I think that independence would be economically catastrophic for many people in Scotland."

Mrs Clinton also made various legal objections to the wording or formation of 18 of the 25 questions, the documents show. Correspondents say her answers provide no new information beyond what Mrs Clinton told FBI agents during a recent investigation. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the group's lawyers would be closely reviewing her responses. "Mrs Clinton's refusal to answer many of the questions in a clear and straightforward manner further reflects disdain for the rule of law," he said. Judicial Watch has filed multiple lawsuits to try to obtain copies of government documents from Mrs Clinton's time as secretary of state. The second row is a late arrival after being released to play in Castres' Top14 play-off defeat to Montpellier. Gray, 26, is expected to take part in Tuesday's training session before the team is announced on Thursday. "We will wait to see what mental and physical shape he is in," said assistant coach Matt Taylor. "He has been very good for us lately, so how he turns up will determine whether he comes in to consideration. "Today's training is not a full-on session in terms of a lot of the contact, it's more about organisation. We have a hard session on Tuesday, when the bulk of the work will be done, and we hope he [Gray] will be involved in that." Gray is one of only three specialist locks in Scotland's 27-man squad, along with brother Jonny and Tim Swinson. Japan warmed up for the first of two matches against Scotland with a 26-22 win over Canada in Vancouver at the weekend. Kotaro Matsushima and Takeshi Kizu scored the tries, while Yoshiya Hosoda was sent off early in the second half. Yu Tamura kicked four penalties and both conversions. "They are quick to contact, they try to play a high-tempo game," said Taylor. "There are a few similarities to how Japan played in the World Cup in some of their shapes and that they are trying to keep the ball in hand. They are kicking a wee bit more than they have in the past, so whether they keep that up we are not sure. "Japan is only one ranking place below us, they are a very good side. We want to play well and put a marker down. "We will be looking to go out there and win the game and put in a performance. I imagine both teams will be better for running together the second time around. We will be looking to play well and win." A group claiming links to IS had allegedly obtained and published online data mostly about US defence officials. The Australian government has confirmed at least eight Australians are on the list, including an MP. Justice Minister Michael Keenan said intelligence agencies were looking into the threats. He said the list contained up to 1500 individuals including "at least eight Australians", he said on Thursday. "If there was any threat to any Australians' physical security then obviously we would take the appropriate action to make sure that people are safe," Mr Keenan said. In a statement to the BBC, the Australian Federal Police said it was working with other agencies on the claims about an IS hacking division posting a spreadsheet of personal details on social media. "The AFP is aware of today's claims by a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division," it said in a statement. "As with all matters that could potentially impact safety and security, the AFP will liaise with its Federal government and state and territory partner agencies in regard to appropriate activities in response to this," it said. Fairfax Media reported the list included personal information of Australian Defence Force employees and their relatives, as well as an MP from the state of Victoria, and some public servants. An alleged spreadsheet of data included peoples' mobile phone numbers, email addresses, internet passwords and home addresses. The Defence Department declined to comment. IS reportedly was bragging on Wednesday on social media about publication of the data. It warned people on the list it was forwarding their personal information to "soldiers of the khilafah [caliphate], who will soon with the permission of Allah will strike at your necks in your own lands", reported Fairfax Media. What is school performance data? School performance data is statistical information showing how well pupils in England have done in public examinations taken at key points in their educational journey. Data is published for children's attainment in national curriculum tests, often known as Sats, which are sat at the end of primary school at age 10 or 11. At secondary school level, data is published detailing pupils' performance in GCSEs (and equivalent exams) at age 16 and A-levels (and equivalents) at age 18. Secondary schools are considered to be "underperforming" if fewer than 40% of their pupils get five GCSEs at grade A*-C, including English and maths, and if the school has a below average score for pupils making the expected progress between Key Stage 2 (end of Year 6) and Key Stage 4 (end of Year 11) in English and maths. Only a pupil's first attempt at a qualification is included for league tables - this aims to stop schools repeatedly entering pupils for exams in order to boost their ranking. The list of qualifications included for league tables includes only those the government says are of the highest, academic quality, and the number of non-GCSE qualifications that count is capped at two. Yes. From next year, schools in England will be measured on what is known as Progress 8. Progress 8 will replace the five or more good GCSEs, including maths and English, benchmark as the key measure for all secondary schools. Progress 8 assesses the progress pupils make between Key Stage 2 tests taken at the end of primary school and their performance in a specified mixture of eight subjects at the end of secondary school. Schools will be given a score based on how their pupils have progressed compared to the national average. This year, schools were given the option to "opt in" for Progress 8 and 327 schools (around 10%) took this up. Primary schools are considered to be "underperforming" if fewer than 65% of pupils get a Level 4 in maths, reading and writing, and pupils are not making the expected progress in these three subjects between the end of infants (age six or seven) and age 10 or 11, when they prepare to leave primary school. In the past, only media organisations used the data to produce rankings in the form of school league tables. But now the Department for Education effectively publishes tables, with a facility on its website that allows users to rank schools by different measures. Wales and Northern Ireland abolished league tables in 2001, followed by Scotland in 2003. Scottish exam data is still published online, but it is not in a format where schools can be easily compared. Wales now publishes tables that place schools in one of five performance bands. The performance data in league tables is used widely by parents to judge how well schools in their area perform. Supporters argue the tables help drive up standards by increasing the accountability of schools and providing valuable information for parents. Research carried out by Bristol University suggested the abolition of league tables in Wales had led to a drop in standards in the lowest 75% of schools. Opponents say comparing schools in this way is too crude a measure of a school's quality, achievements and character. They argue the tables often say more about the intake of a school than the teaching and learning that goes on there. Increasingly, head teachers say the constant state of flux in the exams system makes comparisons between previous years less meaningful. League tables are also thought to encourage competition rather than collaboration between schools in local areas and to lead to middle-class parents pushing to get their children into top schools, further driving down standards at less popular schools. There are also suggestions children are pushed into subjects and choices that make the school look good, rather than broadening their education. The tables show how well a particular year group of pupils at a given school has performed in tests or exams. Most of the pupils will have started school a few years before taking the tests or exams, and there may have been changes of staff or policy at the school in the interim. The tables do not include information about the more holistic elements of a school such as extra-curricular activities on offer - for example, sport and drama - or details about a school's pastoral care system. Some of these details may feature in the school's Ofsted report. It is always advisable to visit a school - most schools run open days or evenings for prospective pupils and parents. "Ben Carson has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities", the president-elect said in a statement, adding that the two had discussed his "urban renewal agenda". Mr Carson is the first African-American to be nominated for Mr Trump's cabinet. He endorsed Mr Trump in March after ending his own bid for the White House. "Ben shares my optimism about the future of our country and is part of ensuring that this is a presidency representing all Americans,'' the statement from Mr Trump said. But Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi criticised the nomination of Mr Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, calling him a "disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice to lead a department as complex and consequential as housing and urban development". The agency has an annual budget of about $50bn (£40bn). Dr Carson has made some pointed comments in the past over the work of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They provide some insight into how a Carson-run Hud might approach desegregation and the agency's role in tackling poverty. A report issued by HUD in 2011 criticised the city of Dubuque, Iowa, for withholding the rent-assistance vouchers in a way that disproportionately affected black tenants. In 2015, Dr Carson derided Hud's action as government overreach. "This is what you see in communist countries," he said. Under the Obama administration, HUD attempted to proactively tackle segregation in American cities by incentivising wealthier areas to build affordable housing. "These government-engineered attempts to legislate racial equality create consequences that often make matters worse," he wrote in June 2015. "Based on the history of failed socialist experiments in this country, entrusting the government to get it right can prove downright dangerous." Mr Trump has not always been so positive about the man he has chosen to join his administration. In November 2015, when Mr Carson briefly overtook him in the polls for the Republican nomination, Mr Trump launched sustained attacks on his rival's character. In one tweet, he brought together three of Mr Carson's most controversial statements, bringing up Mr Carson's own admissions about his violent behaviour growing up in a poor family in Detroit. Mr Carson has since reiterated statements about his teenage years first made in his autobiography, in which he admitted to wanting to hit his mother on the head with a hammer and to trying to stab a friend. His assertion that the Egyptian pyramids were not built to entomb pharaohs but instead by the Biblical figure Joseph to store grain were widely ridiculed when they emerged in November. Mr Carson is a devout Protestant Christian who is a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church. Cabinet appointments need to be confirmed by the US Senate. There are still major cabinet positions yet to be announced, including the next secretary of state. As well as his top team, the president-elect has about 4,000 government positions to fill.

With many Greeks exhausted by five years of recession, tax hikes and record unemployment rates, Syriza and its firebrand leader Alexis Tsipras are tipped to win the early elections that must be called, according to the Greek constitution, if parliament fails to elect a new head of state by 29 December. "After decades on the defensive, the left is staging a comeback. Not just in Greece, but in Europe and Latin America as well," said Mr Samanidis, a top official of Syriza in the country's second city. Alluring as it may prove to Greek voters, the prospect of a leftist party coming to power in Europe's most indebted country is rattling the markets and European capitals. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has warned parliamentarians that if they fail to elect a new president, Greece could risk a disastrous exit from the eurozone. The Athens Stock Exchange posted its biggest drop on record on 9 December, while borrowing costs for Greece have skyrocketed amid the political uncertainty. A number of senior European officials have urged voters to support the ruling coalition of conservatives and social democrats. "I wouldn't like extreme forces to come to power. I would prefer if known faces show up," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker recently told journalists, commenting on the chances of a general election in Greece. While Rosa Luxemburg may adorn its offices, Syriza is not the revolutionary force that her Spartacists represented in Germany a century ago. As the party draws closer to real power, it has softened many of its sharp edges and tried to build bridges, even with City hedge funds. Syriza is vowing to keep Greece within the eurozone and has reassured creditors it will refrain from unilateral decisions on the debt issue. Far from being destructive, Syriza's political proposals offer a reasonable way out of austerity and a chance to replace existing bailout laws with new ones, argues political economist Yanis Varoufakis. "The first priority is renegotiating with creditors. Syriza needs to speak the language of truth about the continuing triple bankruptcy of the country - public debt, banks, private sector - something no Greek government has done so far. Then they need to table positions that the average German will find reasonable." But Syriza and its 40-year-old leader are still seen by many in the Greek and European establishment as unknown and potentially dangerous quantities. Mr Tsipras has warned markets that they "will have to dance to the tune" of his government, while Syriza promises to boost public spending, reverse privatisations, increase salaries and pensions and repeal bailout laws liberalising the markets. Nikos Samanidis emphasises that the prospect of power has not blunted the radical nature of the party, despite its meteoric rise from relative obscurity to frontrunner in little over two years. "The rich, the elites, the markets, the super-rich, the top 10%, yes, they obviously do have reason to worry," he says. "They will lose their privileges. Our voter base has expanded greatly, but the grassroots, radical nature of Syriza has been preserved thanks to the crisis. Our party has not and will not sever its ties with the streets, with the social movements it arose from." Syriza was formed in 2004 as a coalition of groups and parties ranging from Maoists to greens. Before 2012 its electoral appeal had been of little consequence for Greece's political system, never exceeding 5% of the vote. It only became a unitary party in 2013. But in 2012, in the apogee of the Greek crisis, Syriza took the political establishment by storm, polling close to 27% in the June general elections and eclipsing the social democrats to become the second-largest party in the country. In the European Parliament elections in May 2014, Syriza emerged victorious, polling close to 27% of the vote. Mr Tsipras, the youngest political leader in Greece's history, was instrumental in transforming Syriza from an also-ran to a potential ruling party. Known for his rhetorical skills, his dislike of neckties and his good looks, Mr Tsipras rose to the leadership of Syriza in 2008 and was elected to parliament in 2009. "The economic crisis and the collapse of traditional parties certainly helped Syriza grow its influence, but it was Alexis Tsipras who catapulted the party," says Christoforos Vernardakis, Professor of Political Science at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and founder of the public opinion survey company VPRC. "This happened because Tsipras is young and knows no fear. He took a defensive left and turned it into a credible choice for government." Despite his undoubted charisma, several Syriza members and officials who know Mr Tsipras personally describe him as "an everyday, decent person". "With Alexis we go a long way back. We used to hang out and I can tell you he is a normal, decent guy. Even as a leader, he likes collective processes and decisions," said Mr Samanidis. Critics, on the other hand, see Mr Tsipras as arrogant, inexperienced and power hungry - a maverick politician willing to sacrifice Greece to rise to power. Long-time friend Nikos Karanikas rejects this description of Syriza's "comrade-president". "Although it was clear from the start he was a leader, it took some encouragement from us for him to come forward and take the lead - he had no lust for power," said Mr Karanikas, a member of the political bureau of Syriza's largest constituent group, Synaspismos. Tsipras, he argues, still lives in the middle class Athens neighbourhood of Kypseli, and cut his professional teeth while working as a civil engineer. He was one of the "700-euro generation" of youth who struggled to advance beyond the average Greek salary. Eager as they are for a historic victory for the left, Syriza officials are also prepared for a long struggle. "My generation has a chance now with Syriza to stop the disaster. We have no fear of governing," said Mr. Karanikas. The party's first battle starts on Wednesday, in the first ballot of the parliamentary election for president. Some analysts predict that renewed fears for Greece's future in the eurozone will convince enough MPs to vote for the government's presidential candidate; or, in the event of a general election, convince enough Greeks to turn the tide in favour of the ruling coalition. Alexis Tsipras has denounced this tactic as an "operation of terror" by Prime Minister Samaras and European officials. Some Greeks seem to believe the danger is real, with weekend polls showing that Syriza's lead has narrowed slightly. But others, like Panagiotis Makridis, a waiter at a Greek coffee shop, are enraged by what they say is blatant scaremongering from the government, Brussels and European capitals. "So Jean-Claude Juncker is telling me who to vote for? I didn't plan on voting Syriza, but now I just might."

A large portrait of Marxist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg hangs in the Thessaloniki office of Nikos Samanidis, a founder member of Greece's Coalition of the Radical Left, better known as Syriza.

The video, which has since been taken off YouTube, shows a crowd shouting at a group of people who remain seated during the Indian anthem. It is unclear where the incident occurred, although some reports said it took place in the city of Mumbai. The controversy comes amid a debate on "growing intolerance" in India. National anthem has been trending on Twitter India, with opinion sharply divided on the actions of the crowd. Many have supported the theatre audience, calling the actions of the group "shameless" and "blasphemy". However, some others have questioned the need to "wear patriotism on your sleeve" and the relevance of token gestures like simply standing for a national anthem. Though not all cinemas in India play the national anthem before screening movies, it is mandatory in some states, including the western state of Maharashtra. Cinemas in the state display messages asking audiences to stand before playing the anthem. This is also not the first time that people have been targeted for not "respecting" the national song. Last year, a man was beaten by a mob in Mumbai, after his South African friend refused to stand for the national anthem. The man, identified as Mahek Vyas, also alleged that a policeman at a nearby station had refused to file a complaint against the six people who attacked him, and had also told him that he should have made his friend stand. In the southern state of Kerala, a man was charged with sedition after he refused to stand for the anthem in a cinema. Bollywood actress Preity Zinta was also mired in controversy, after she took it upon herself to throw a boy out of a theatre hall because he refused to stand for the national anthem. Although there is no specific law that mandates standing for the anthem in India, the home ministry's rules, which carry the force of law, specify that it is compulsory to stand to attention when the anthem is played. The debate about India's national anthem comes amid concerns over growing intolerance in the country.

A video purporting to show "Muslims" thrown out of a cinema hall for not standing for the national anthem has begun a debate on patriotism in India.

Media playback is not supported on this device The 22-year-old led from start to finish at Congressional to become the youngest major champion since Tiger Woods won the Masters in 1997. "To get my first major out of the way quite early on in my career, especially after what's happened the last couple of months, feels great," he said. "Now, I'm looking forward to putting myself in the picture for many more." The new world number four produced rounds of 65, 66, 68 and 69 for a tournament record, 16-under-par total of 268, four better than the previous mark. McIlroy had previously only won one US Tour title and one European Tour title, but showed his talent in majors by finishing tied for third in last year's British Open and US PGA Championship. He was poised to make the Masters his first major title when he held a four-shot lead going into the final day earlier this year, but a meltdown on the 10th hole led to a triple-bogey and he ultimately carded a final-round 80. There would be no collapse at Congressional, though. With an eight-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy showed few signs of nerves and stretched his lead to 10 shots with two birdies in the opening four holes. He made only his second bogey of the week after driving into sand on the 12th, but kept up the momentum with a number of crucial putts on the back nine. His first three-putt of the week at the 17th saw him drop a shot but he held his nerve for par at the last to banish his Augusta demons and win his first major title by eight strokes - the fourth highest winning margin in US Open history. The victory has led to McIlroy being made odds-on favourite with bookmakers to win BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2011. Andy Murray, who is set to play at Wimbledon this week, is among the other leading contenders for the accolade, while other major sport events to come this year include the Rugby World Cup, which starts 9 September in New Zealand. Arriving at his press conference, McIlroy took a photo of the US Open trophy and posted it on Twitter with two words: 'Winning' and 'bounceback.' "I felt like I got over the Masters pretty quickly," added the second youngest European major winner of all time - and the youngest since 1872. "I kept telling you guys that and I don't know if you believed me or not. But here you go. Nice to prove some people wrong." Now, McIlroy is eyeing up a duel with former world number one and 14-time major winner Tiger Woods, who missed his first US Open in 16 years due to leg injuries. "When I was growing up, I always had putts to beat Tiger Woods in the Masters or US Open," added the man from Holywood, Northern Ireland. "So it would be great to be able to get in contention one day...and go down the stretch with him because I've never really had that experience before." Prime Minister David Cameron was among those to pay tribute to McIlroy. "Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on a tremendous win at the US Open and his first major title," he said. "At just 22, the youngest US Open Champion for 88 years, he has already shown himself to be at the top of his sport. "He's an incredible talent and clearly has a very exciting career ahead of him." On Monday, McIlroy's countryman Darren Clarke withdrew from this week's European Tour event in Munich because he wants to be in Northern Ireland for the world number four's homecoming party. The 42-year-old, who did not qualify for the US Open, will compete at next month's Open at Sandwich through his 30th place on last year's money list. The information, which related to the use of laptops on aircraft, is understood to have been passed to the Americans by an ally who had apparently chosen not to share it with Moscow. Mr Trump said he "had the absolute right" to tell the Russians "acts pertaining to terrorism and airline safety". Any other government employee would probably have lost security clearance, or even be charged under espionage laws. But US presidents enjoy wide latitude in declassifying information under their powers, which means Mr Trump's alleged disclosure was not illegal. As Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy specialist with the Federation of American Scientists, told the New York Times: "It is an expression of presidential authority, and that means that the president and his designees decide what is classified, and they have the essentially unlimited authority to declassify at will." However, Mr Trump could have damaged an intelligence-sharing partnership if he revealed information without permission from the ally who provided it. The BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner has said: "There is a golden rule in the world of espionage that when one government supplies intelligence to another it must not be passed on to a third party without permission of the original supplier. "The reason is simple: it could put the lives of their human informants at risk." Eliot Cohen, a former senior State Department official under former President George W Bush, tweeted: "If accidental, it would be a firing offence for anyone else. If deliberate, it would be treason". However, it is thought that under the US constitution, Mr Trump would have to be helping a country that the US is at war with in order for it to be considered treason. Though US relations with Russia remain strained, the two countries are not at war. Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution states: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Mr Trump would have to be actively "levying war" or providing "aid and comfort" to an enemy in order to build a treason case, UC Davis law professor Carlton Larson told Vox, but such prosecutions are difficult. What Mr Trump did could theoretically be grounds for impeachment if Congress determined he had violated the presidential oath of office, but that would be a longshot. Mr Trump swore to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States" and to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" to the best of his ability. By sharing highly sensitive information with an adversary foreign government, he could be considered in breach of executing his oath of office, the Lawfare blog pointed out. Congress, led by Mr Trump's Republican party, would have to agree that Mr Trump must be removed from office to trigger an impeachment trial. A majority of the House would have to vote for it and a two-thirds majority of the Senate would be required to agree to convict him. It's not unheard of for the White House to reveal classified details to foreign governments, according to David Priess, author of the President's Book of Secrets. President George W Bush had several foreign leaders join him for daily classified briefings, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. But as Mr Priess explains, the CIA prepared special briefing material to ensure nothing was shared that would jeopardise US intelligence. In Mr Trump's case, however, the CIA did not appear to be alerted of his plan to reveal information, according to the Washington Post report. After media reports alleged widespread blood doping she claimed she had been implicated by a parliamentary hearing, and publicly denied cheating. On Friday, the IAAF said the allegations were "a gross misinterpretation of raw data". Radcliffe told the BBC: "It's a relief. It should never have come to this." Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, she added: "The reason I spoke out was to protect myself and protect my name. It was important that I took a stand knowing that there were other innocent athletes out there." And on Sky Sports Radcliffe said: "Obviously there's been damage done to my reputation and to the reputation of the sport as well. "In the climate of things maybe people think it's not important right now, but it's important to me and the attacks made on my integrity and my credibility." Back in the summer The Sunday Times and German TV station ARD made allegations about doping in athletics, having obtained the results of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes taken between 2001 and 2012. In the wake of their reports, and subsequent comments made at a parliamentary hearing, Radcliffe, who had not been named, felt forced to go public to "categorically" deny ever blood doping. There was also a suggestion the IAAF had not acted on suspicious tests, but on Friday athletics' world governing body dismissed claims it had ignored evidence of cheating, and completely exonerated Radcliffe. It said she had been "accused of blood doping based on the gross misinterpretation of raw and incomplete data", and that "there are clearly plausible explanations for the values in her profile that are entirely innocent". Media playback is not supported on this device It added it could not "sit idly by while public confidence in its willingness to protect the integrity of its sport is undermined by allegations of inaction or incompetence that are based on bad scientific and legal argument". UK Anti-Doping said that, having reviewed the data on Radcliffe that the IAAF had shared with UKAD, it had concluded "there is no case to answer". UKAD added: "The data does not provide any evidence that any anti-doping rule violation proceedings should be brought." The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) is still investigating the claims, having said in the summer it was "very alarmed" by the allegations. "Such a strong rebuttal of the allegations made by The Sunday Times and ARD in August is significant. "I know from conversations with IAAF staff how unhappy they were with the interpretation of the blood data by this joint investigation - which cast a long shadow over the build up to the World Championships. "Only two experts were consulted for their opinion. That's not how the Blood Passport works. Instead, three independent experts all analyse the data, and only if all three agree is the athlete sanctioned for a doping offence. "The IAAF also makes the point that all these samples should be considered as incomplete data, because they pre-date the Blood Passport. "It was stung by the strong suggestion it had been negligent. Belatedly, it is fighting back, with frequent mentions of Wada's support throughout this statement. "The IAAF says it welcomes investigative journalism but not what, in this case, it alleges is 'bad scientific and legal argument'." Environment Minister Alex Attwood has announced planning permission for two new service stations on the M2. Plans for another two service stations on the M1 are due to be brought before Lisburn Borough Council on Wednesday evening for ratification. Currently, commuters have to leave the motorways at an existing junction to find a nearby service station. The stations will have direct slip road access on and off both motorways. On the M2, the new service stations will be located opposite each other on either side of the motorway at Browns Road, Ballycraigy, about two miles west of the Sandyknowles roundabout. On the M1, the proposed service stations, are again to be located opposite each other. The sites are almost midway between Lisburn and Belfast, about a quarter mile south of the Ballyskeagh Road. Mr Attwood said: "New motorway service stations are a first for Northern Ireland. "This will be good for travellers and good for jobs. Their development will also provide a significant boost to the local economy, with a potential investment of some £20m. "These large scale investment applications were submitted after detailed pre-application discussions between my officials and the applicants and represent another example of how DOE Planning is providing a speedier, more cost effective and more responsive service for everyone. " The planning applications were submitted late last year by Petrogas Ltd, which currently operate all the motorway service areas on the island of Ireland, under the Applegreen brand. Newtownabbey Borough Council has already agreed with the opinion to approve the new service stations on the M2. Lisburn City Council will be consulted on Wednesday night with an opinion to approve the other two on the M1. The agreement to halt fighting and withdraw heavy weapons from the front line came into force on Monday, after it was brokered over the weekend. Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed rebels have been fighting since 2014. This latest ceasefire began as Russia defended its decision to recognise rebel-issued passports as a "humanitarian" gesture. A peace deal for eastern Ukraine was signed in the Belarusian capital of Minsk in February 2015 but since then previously agreed ceasefires have not held for long, with both Ukrainian government forces and the rebels repeatedly accused of breaking them. However, the newly agreed truce was said to be largely holding, despite the Ukrainian army reporting one soldier being killed and another injured in the past 24 hours. Rebel commanders said there had been very little fighting. The ceasefire was agreed after an upsurge in violence last month. More than 9,800 people have died since the conflict began in 2014. Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the passports move was to help struggling rebel regions in the east, which have faced a transportation blockade imposed by Ukrainian nationalists. He also dismissed the Ukrainian government's belief that the move violated the Minsk accord, saying: "These aren't the documents of an officially recognised state. They are de facto issued on the territory of the region." Germany and France have both condemned the decision as "contradicting" the Minsk agreement. Separately, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov brushed aside a suggestion Russia could lease Crimea from Ukraine. Kremlin-backed forces took control of Crimea in 2014, after which the mainly-Russian speaking area voted to join Russia. Neither the West nor Ukraine recognise the outcome of the referendum. However, Russia now considers Crimea part of its territory and Mr Lavrov shrugged off the latest rumoured peace plan, reported by US newspapers. "It is hard for me to comment on this because it is impossible to lease something from yourself. I cannot even add anything to that," Mr Lavrov said during a news conference in Moscow. The benchmark FTSE 100 share index was up 17.24 points at 6,830.79. On the foreign exchanges, the pound fell back below $1.30 against the dollar, dropping 0.4% to $1.2974. The US Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates on Wednesday, although the chances of rate rise appear to have diminished. Against the euro, the pound fell 0.44% to €1.161. "The pound seems to be a victim of some skittishness ahead the major central bank meetings this week in Japan and the US," said Neil Wilson, an analyst at ETX Capital. "Markets anticipate the Fed will keep rates on hold but a hike is not being ruled out, which may be rattling traders." Shares in the drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline were little changed at £16.45p as it named Emma Walmsley, its current head of consumer healthcare, as its new chief executive. The biggest gainers among FTSE 100 shares were Burberry, up 48p or 3.6% at £13.79; Shire, up 132p or 2.6% at £53.15; and Johnson Matthey, up 62p or 1.9% at £32.72. The 20-year-old world number eight won 6-4 6-4 in 69 minutes in Washington. Zverev is the youngest player to win four titles in a season since Juan Martin del Potro in 2008. Russia's Ekaterina Makarova beat Germany's Julia Goerges 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-0 in the women's final to secure her third WTA singles title. Elsewhere, Madison Keys beat fellow American Coco Vandeweghe 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 to win the Stanford Bank of the West Classic in California. The US Open, the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, begins on Monday, 28 August. The academy product, 19, joined the Sky Blues at the age of nine and his new contract runs until June 2020. Stevenson made his professional debut earlier this season in a 3-2 win over Portsmouth in the EFL Cup, and has made a further 10 appearances this term. "Everybody here looks forward to helping Ben continue his progression," said caretaker manager Mark Venus. The 38-year-old confessed "immediately" following his arrest, French prosecutor Jean-Pierre Valensi said. The girl, named locally as Chloe, was found dead in woodland on Wednesday after being raped and strangled. Thousands of people, including her mother, marched through Calais on Thursday in her memory. Chloe was playing with a friend near her home, when she approached the man at about 15:30 local time (13:30 GMT) on Wednesday and sprayed him with a water pistol. Her mother told French broadcaster BFMTV that she had left her alone for five minutes to change her two younger children, and returned to see the attacker forcing her daughter into a car. The body of the girl was discovered in the nearby woods less than two hours later. The suspect, who was under the influence of alcohol, was found close to the crime scene. Forensic investigators reported evidence of "strangulation and sexual violence", said Mr Valensi. The suspect has a history of criminal violence and had spent time in prison in both France and Poland. He was reportedly released just months ago after serving a six-year sentence. One of his victims, a 78-year-old woman, told France's Le Parisien newspaper police had promised her he had been expelled to Poland. Mr Valensi said the suspect had arrived back in France on Wednesday morning and was planning to travel to England to visit his sister. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called for a full investigation in to the man's past, saying Chloe's family deserved the "whole truth". Almost 400 staff at the local authority took voluntary redundancy packages last year. Information on a "early release scheme" is to be made available to workers online in the effort to achieve a further reduction in posts. The GMB union, which represents many said it was disappointed at the level of cuts proposed. It warns that a further reduction in the council's workforce will increase work loads on remaining employees and affect the running of services. Bill Fernie, Highland Council's budget leader, told BBC Alba that the early release scheme should mean compulsory redundancies could be avoided. Distress calls came from more than 20 vessels, AFP reported. More than 2,000 people have died this year in attempts to reach Europe in overcrowded, unseaworthy boats. The route from Libya to Italy is one of the busiest for those trying to enter Europe. Of the 264,500 migrants the United Nations says have crossed the Mediterranean so far this year, close to 104,000 have landed in Italy. Another 160,000 arrived in Greece. Two Italian navy ships were involved in Saturday's rescue effort. Responding to two wooden boats in danger of sinking, the Cigala Fulgosi picked up 507 people and the Vega 432, the navy said. Various other Italian vessels were involved in the rescue effort, as well as the Norwegian military ship Siem Pilot, which has been deployed as part of the EU's Triton patrol mission. A boat belonging to humanitarian group Doctors without Borders rescued 311 people, including a new-born baby, The coastguard said patrol boats had boarded a total of just under 1,000 people from various unseaworthy fishing boats and inflatables from Friday night to Saturday morning. At least another 1,000 people were reported to be headed for Italian ports on other boats. The increase in rescues prompted criticism of the centre-left Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. "This must be a joke. We are using our own forces to do the people smugglers' business for them and ensure we are invaded," said Maurizio Gasparri, a senator for Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia party. Populist anti-immigration politician Matteo Salvini called on the government to take the migrants and refugees to disused Italian oil rigs off Libya. Humanitarian groups say the surge in numbers is because of conflicts and repression in Africa and the Middle East, and European governments should do more to create safe routes to Europe. Meanwhile, police in the city of Palermo in Sicily have arrested six Egyptian nationals on suspicion of people smuggling after a rescue on 19 August. The vessel was carrying 432 people - more than 10 times as many as it was designed for. Some of those on board said they had to pay smugglers to come up for air from the cargo hold, AFP reported. With his wife Kathryn, Marc Stewart looks after two Highlanders at their farm in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Videos and photographs of the cattle, called Hamish and Kyloe, posted to social media by Mr Stewart have been viewed thousands of times. Some of the most popular posts feature red-haired Hamish relaxed as his shaggy coat is combed. Mr Stewart's interest in the breed began with a fascination in Scotland in general after making a trip there 15 years ago. His first "Highland" was Hamish, who he bought when the beast was 10 months old. Hamish turns six later this year. "My love of Scotland was first," says Mr Stewart. "After that, the Highland was just an extension of Scotland. To me, loving Scotland meant loving Highlands - and their massive horns and shaggy fur always made me think of woolly mammoths. "Who wouldn't want a woolly mammoth for a pet?" Asked to describe his Highlanders' personalities, Mr Stewart says: "That's an easy one. "Hamish is easy going, laid back and usually very calm and collected. He's happy standing in the pond or laying in the shade under an old oak. "Kyloe, is the consummate "little brother". Always getting into things he shouldn't, testing fences, beating up gate panels or loose buckets and his favourite, trying to get Hamish stirred up enough to push back." Hamish and Kyloe are members of one of Britain's oldest and hardiest breeds of cattle. According to the Highland Cattle Society, whose patron is the Queen, written records of the distinctive-looking beasts go back to the 18th Century. The Highland Cattle Herd Book, which lists pedigrees, was first published in 1885. Herds of Highlanders, also affectionately known as Heilan Coos, are known as folds and these have been founded across the world. Kyloe is another name for black haired West Highland Cattle. Hundreds of thousands of these cattle used to be raised in the Highlands and Islands. Mr Stewart believes the pair, along with a pig called Siggy, have become popular online because of their appearance. He says: "People see this massive horned animal being loving and gentle and they're used to seeing that behaviour from a dog or something. "But having a 2,000lb animal act that way is something entirely different. "The size is a bit intimidating for most. They see a puny human controlling this great shaggy beast and are amazed at his obvious raw power and strength. "I would also like to add that they are very intelligent. "Hamish goes to great lengths to avoid hitting me with his horns, unless he's bumping my arm in an effort to get me to brush him more." Mr Stewart adds: "I am in the process of publishing my first book ever, not bad for a guy who dropped out of high school because of dyslexia which was not understood as it is now, on my adventures in Scotland. "My first trip 15 years ago, is what led me to decide to get Highlands." Danish worker Per Terp died and Frank Kroeger had to be resuscitated twice after the incident at Harwich in 2010. Chelmsford Crown Court heard a missing bolt caused the accident but the HSE said it would have been avoided had "the right questions been asked". Denmark-based Siemens Windpower A/S and London firm Fluor Ltd were both fined. Mr Terp, 42, was crushed on 21 May 2010 at Harwich International Port. His colleague Mr Kroeger was airlifted to Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge with serious, life-changing injuries. A heavy blade root was being lifted in an H-type lifting frame by the jack-up vessel Sea Jack, but the frame gave way and dropped the load, the court heard. Siemens pleaded guilty to two charges under the Health and Safety Act and Fluor was found guilty of one offence. Judge David Turner QC said there needed to be "greater clarity" between the companies. Speaking after the hearing, Health and Safety Executive inspector Julie Rayner said: "This incident could easily have been avoided had suitable systems and procedures been in place to ensure that all loads were properly connected whilst being lifted. "Had the right questions been asked when the lift was being planned and had the bolt and two brackets holding the blade and frame together been checked before they were lifted, the death and serious injury of two workers could have been prevented." Siemens Windpower was fined £375,000 and told to pay costs of £105,355, while Fluor was fined £275,000 with costs of £271,048. The 41-year-old Hightown complex was demolished at the start of 2011 after surveys of the 181 homes in 2009 showed major repairs would be needed. The proposals for Kingsmill Road by Wales and West Housing would include a new community and medical centre. Wrexham council has allocated £5m of Welsh government social housing grants to support the project. Wales and West want to build a combination of 127 houses and apartments on the Kingsmill site and the neighbouring Rivulet Road, the site of a former gasworks. There is also a separate development of 20 apartments in a building on Rivulet Road. The planning application for the gasworks is being submitted later this week, and the standalone building conversion application will go forward for consideration in early 2012. If approved, work on the Kingsmill site could start early in the New Year. The housing association is holding an open day on Thursday 15 December from 15:00 to 20:00 GMT at Hightown Community Centre and is keen to encourage people to come along and see the plans. Over 100 people came along to a consultation event in the summer, according to the company. Chief executive Anne Hinchey said: "We are really excited about this development which will provide some very much needed high quality, affordable housing to Wrexham as well as a new community facility for the area." Both the US and British governments, of course, dispute this. Beyond that, the MPs say Britain can and should be doing more than what the report describes as the "striking modest" contribution so far - a small force of Tornado bombers and Reaper drones, and a few trainers and advisers on the ground. The MPs insists that they are not advocating conventional Western combat forces on the ground. But they suggest Britain could step up its contribution to the air campaign, and perhaps use more special forces. They also want more effort from Britain to develop its own analysis and strategy, rather than just "sign-up" to the American campaign. In addition, they want Britain to respond to Iraqi requests for more training, including to counter Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). And they suggest that there should be more use of particular British expertise and experience in the region, to help with analysis and planning, to restructure the Iraqi Kurdish forces who are taking on IS fighters, and to contribute more on the diplomatic front in the region. In some ways, none of this is dramatic stuff. And the government would argue that it is weighing up further British contributions now. And yet the doubts and criticisms remain. In part that is because everybody agrees that this is a very difficult challenge to confront. The MPs contrast what they see as the level of political rhetoric on the threat posed by IS with the level of effort being put in now to combating, but also how limited that is relative to the scale of the military campaign last time. But in Washington and London, officials argue that this is a different kind of enemy this time, and that they have learned the lessons of last time. Hence, for example, a campaign of air strikes that is not on the same scale as previous ones. There is also an insistence that the air campaign is only a small part of the equation. And there is general agreement that Western combat boots on the ground are not a good idea. It is acknowledged that that is partly because of deep public and political reluctance in the West. The key elements are getting Iraqi, Kurdish, and moderate Syrian opposition forces into shape to take on IS fighters themselves. The support of key regional players is seen as vital. And, ultimately, there must be political change in Iraq and Syria to choke off IS support. Washington talks about 60 or so countries across the globe being involved in the anti-IS coalition in some way or another - for example, in trying to choke off IS funding. But the key players are a much smaller group, including those involved directly in military action. Air strikes began in August - the Americans joined by Britain, France, and a handful of other Western countries in Iraq, and by Jordan and a number of Gulf Arab state in Syria. US and British officials insist that they have in part halted and even reversed some IS advances. But the key question now in Washington, London, and other capitals, is what more to do to help rebuild the weak Iraqi, Kurdish, and moderate Syrian opposition forces - how much support, for how long, and how many Western personnel will be needed? Then there will have to be the political change in Iraq and Syria. Some doubt whether these parts of the jigsaw can be put together. There is the suspicion of "mission creep". Then there are the strains within the coalition - with Turkey, for example, and between some Arab members of the coalition. And Iran is a key player, but not - as far as the Americans are concerned - part of the coalition. All this is why there remain these question marks over whether there is a clear anti-IS strategy that is realistic and workable. Thousands of commuters were stranded as Southern Rail cancelled all services between Redhill, Reigate and Tonbridge, as well as Haywards Heath and Lewes. Southeastern cancelled trains between Strood and Paddock Wood and services between Swanley and Faversham and Tonbridge and Hastings were delayed. Network Rail apologised, saying de-icers and route provers could not run. Tom Tugendhat, MP for Tonbridge, Edenbridge and Malling in Kent, said he had written to Network Rail to demand answers over the chaos, tweeting that Southeastern and Southern should have responded better. Southeastern, which also cancelled services between Ashford International and Maidstone East, blamed poor rail conditions for the disruption. Passengers were told they could use tickets on High Speed services at no extra charge. Southern said ice on the conductor rail meant trains could not take power, causing cancellations, but added Great Western diesel trains were running and accepting its tickets. BBC News producer Charlie Rose tweeted that services were at a standstill on the Hastings line and posted a picture of stranded commuters in the cafe at Etchingham station in East Sussex. Network Rail said passengers and train operators had a very difficult morning and did not receive the level of service people expect. "While our de-icing train fleet ran overnight and our rail heaters were all on and working, this still hasn't been enough to prevent delays," said route managing director Alasdair Coates. "We are investigating what further action we can take to mitigate the problem of ice forming and making it unsafe for trains to run." Southeastern apologised for the delays, including further disruption caused by a broken rail at Kidbrooke, south-east London. "We encourage all passengers who were delayed by 30 minutes or more to claim compensation under our Delay Repay scheme," it said in a statement. Engineering work was also blamed for disruption when more than 20 rush-hour trains into London from Kent did not run on 28 January. Services between Ashford and London were disrupted when lines were left without power because of overrunning engineering work. Southeastern said delays caused by a power loss between Maidstone and Swanley were down to engineering works that did not finish on time. In January Southeastern blamed "bright sunlight" for delays to services through south-east London. The Scottish champions were in pot four in Thursday's draw in Monaco, with the German champions top seeds and the big-spending French outfit in pot two. "It could have been slightly easier but it's certainly box office," Lawwell told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound. "To host these fantastic European clubs will just be magnificent." Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga for the past five seasons and feature players of the stature of Manuel Neuer and Jerome Boeteng, while PSG boast the world's most expensive player, Neymar, in their ranks. Anderlecht have begun their season in indifferent form but last season were knocked out of the Europa League last eight by eventual winners Manchester United. Lawwell praised Celtic's manager, Brendan Rodgers, for guiding Celtic to their 10th Champions League group stage appearance, and spoke of the excitement at the draw. "We're relishing it," said Lawwell. "I haven't spoken to Brendan since the draw but I'm sure he's relishing it and we'll be ready to do our very best. "I'm sure we will do our supporters proud. "Clearly, as everyone recognises, the job that Brendan has done has been absolutely exceptional. To qualify two years running for the Champions League, with all the difficulties that qualification process presents is just fantastic, it's astonishing. "The team have come on, they have taken on what he has been teaching them. I'm sure we'll give it a right good shot." Lawwell, who hopes to complete the loan signing of Patrick Roberts from Manchester City and the paperwork around Rivaldo Coetzee's arrival from Ajax Cape Town, said that being in the group stage is an important "part of the formula" that the club adheres to. "We bring the players in, develop them, put them on the stage at Celtic Park and play them in the Champions League," he said. "Then it's up to them. If they want to stay, fantastic, but they have an opportunity to go. Players want to play in the Champions League and they want to play for Celtic." Meanwhile, Celtic defender Kieran Tierney said "everybody at Celtic is buzzing off Champions League football again". He said: "This is what you want as a footballer. You're in the biggest tournament there is. So, to go out there, and play against the best is what you want to do." At the prospect of stopping the attacking menace of Neymar, Tierney said: "You need to do your normal job - you defend as well as you can. You know they are top-class players you are up against but you don't want to go in with any fear at all. "You don't know if they (PSG) will be complacent. Everybody knows what Celtic Park is like and everybody knows the atmosphere. "They'll be under no illusions that we're going to do our best and work hard. We'll be looking to do well every game we can and take what we can." In a far-ranging interview with the New York Times, the US president-elect was quoted as saying: "I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn." He said he did not want to "energise" the group, which includes neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semites. One of America's top generals, David Petraeus, has told the BBC he would be willing to serve under Mr Trump. The former CIA director, a prominent figure during the Obama era until he resigned in 2012 over an extramarital affair, said it was up to Americans to "endeavour to help" the incoming president. Mr Trump, who is due to take over from Barack Obama on 20 January, is still assembling his White House team but has already courted controversy with some of his choices. He has defended his chief strategist Steve Bannon, the former CEO of Breitbart News, bristling at claims that the ultra-conservative site is associated with white supremacists. Alt-right supporters were filmed on Saturday in Washington DC cheering as a speaker shouted: "Hail Trump." In the video, Richard Spencer, an alt-right leader, told a conference that America belonged to white people, whom he described as "children of the sun". He denounced the movement's critics as "the most despicable creatures who ever walked the planet". "Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!" Mr Spencer shouted at one point as some members of the audience raised their arms in the Nazi salute. The gathering on Saturday drew protesters who blocked traffic around the Ronald Reagan Building, a federally owned conference centre in the nation's capital. German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed concern on Tuesday that Mr Trump's election victory could give succour to white supremacists. A senior official close to her described the "Hail Trump" video as "repulsive and worrying". The city where Trump hates being hated Twitter suspends alt-right figureheads Trump's 'jail Clinton' U-turn backlash "Breitbart is just a publication," Mr Trump told the New York Times. "They cover stories like you cover stories." "If I thought he was a racist or alt-right or any of the things, the terms we could use, I wouldn't even think about hiring him", he said of Mr Bannon. Mr Trump also argued that: Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he would not follow up on a campaign pledge to pursue a further inquiry into Hillary Clinton's emails. Later, Mr Trump was quoted as telling the New York Times: "I don't want to hurt the Clintons, I really don't." The people around Donald Trump Can Donald Trump get what he wants? The Trump resistance movement builds The bassist is the second member of the band to leave after drummer Matt Tong quit in 2013. Bloc Party have started work on their fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2012's Four. Young Legionnaire are made up of former Automatic singer-songwriter Paul Mullen, Moakes and drummer Dean Pearson. Writing on Twitter, Moakes said: "Update for fans: I'm not involved in the latest incarnation of Bloc Party. I'm now focussing on Young Legionnaire. Gordy #rhythmsection4hire. "I'm based in Austin, TX now - as well as the new YL album in the works, I've got a couple of projects on the go here, news of which soon! Gx." It's unclear who'll replace Moakes in the band.

Follow @BBCNewsbeat on Twitter, BBCNewsbeat on Instagram and Radio1Newsbeat on YouTube Second-half goals from Mark Beevers and Adam Le Fondre wrapped up a fifth successive win for Phil Parkinson's in-form side. Bolton defender David Wheater saw a shot deflected over the crossbar, before skipper Darren Pratley tested Shrewsbury goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler from distance. The Shrews gradually settled and almost took the lead when Louis Dodds, fed by Tyler Roberts, saw his high shot acrobatically clawed away by Bolton keeper Ben Alnwick. Joe Riley then drilled in a shot from the edge of the box which was comfortably gathered by Alnwick. Bolton took the lead in the 51st minute as a long throw from Filipe Morais saw central defender Beevers nip in ahead of Leutwiler to head home from 12 yards. Alnwick saved from Freddie Ladapo and Roberts either side of Bolton's breakthrough, before the visitors doubled their lead in the 66th minute. Morais broke down the right and picked out Le Fondre, who controlled the ball and smashed into the roof of the net from close range. Shaun Whalley fired a late effort over the bar for Shrewsbury, who are just a point outside the relegation zone. Match report supplied by the Press Association.

Malone gave away another penalty when he pulled Cameron Jerome down and Dorrans scored his second spot-kick. Stefan Johansen deflected the ball home before Martin secured a point for Fulham with a superb solo finish. The result meant Norwich dropped to second in the Championship behind Newcastle United, who earned a 2-0 win away at Barnsley. Despite battling to win a point, Fulham slipped a place to 12th after Queens Park Rangers beat Bristol City. The Canaries seemed to be in control after Dorrans' second penalty of the night, but the visitors were revived by a slice of luck when Martin shot at goal and the ball cannoned off Johansen and into the net. Norwich have now not managed a clean sheet in their last five games, and have conceded in every match at Fulham since January 1986. Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: "What did I say at half-time? Nothing special, be professional and work together. Look to score one goal and after we can score more. "We made big mistakes but after we went 2-0 down it was a better performance. We were more solid and started to play good football. "Today we conceded two penalties, against QPR we missed two penalties, in two other games we finished the game with 10 players - we make so many big mistakes. "I am frustrated about many things but if the referee says it is a penalty, it is a penalty." Norwich manager Alex Neil: "We lost concentration for 15 minutes and didn't defend well enough to absorb the pressure we were under. "It's really frustrating because Fulham's tactics didn't change - we knew what we were up against. But the players are angry with themselves because they know how much it means. "It doesn't matter as long as you are in and about the top at Christmas. You don't want anybody getting away from you." Match ends, Fulham 2, Norwich City 2.

The scheme at Javelin Park has been delayed for three years due to a series of legal challenges from campaigners. Gloucestershire County Council's Conservative cabinet voted unanimously to approve a revised contract, allowing Urbaser Balfour Beatty to build the plant. It is expected to open in 2019. Plans for the project were approved by the secretary of state in January, following a public inquiry, despite the plans having been previously refused by Gloucestershire County Council. A further legal challenge at the High Court by Stroud District Council in July failed to get the decision overturned. The 57-year-old assisted Allan Johnston at Queen of the South before both moved to the Ayrshire outfit last summer. Their debut season was at times a struggle, but they guided Killie to Scottish Premiership safety. "Sandy's wealth of experience was an important factor in the club pulling clear of the relegation play-off," a Kilmarnock statement read. "Allan Johnston‎ wishes to record his disappointment that Sandy has decided to leave the club, and extends his sincere thanks to Sandy for his dedication in making their partnership so successful at Queen of the South, winning two trophies and helping Allan to achieve the 2012-13 'Manager of the Year' award." Killie revealed Clark, who previously coached at Rugby Park under manager Jimmy Calderwood, had left to "pursue other opportunities". After playing spells north and south of the border, Clark managed Partick Thistle, Hearts, Hamilton Academical, St Johnstone and Berwick Rangers before being part of Calderwood's coaching team at Aberdeen and then Kilmarnock.

Giggs became the fourth outfield player to play in the Premier League at the age of 40, joining: As Ryan Giggs begins life as a retired footballer he can reflect on an extraordinary career spanning more than 1,000 games and 150 goals over 22 long seasons. The Premier League did not exist when he made his debut for Manchester United. John Major was prime minister, Bart Simpson was number one in the charts, the Birmingham Six were still in jail and Kevin Costner was about to clean up at the Oscars with Dances With Wolves. As well as making 963 senior appearances for United, he won 64 full international caps for Wales, and a further four captaining Great Britain in last year's London Olympics. BBC Sport takes a look at the key statistics and memorable moments of his career. 17 - Giggs was offered his first professional contract with Manchester United on his 17th birthday on 29 November, 1990. *does not include friendlies 632 - Giggs has made 632 appearances in the Premier League, starting 522 of those matches. He made his debut against Everton on 2 March 1991, coming off the bench to replace full-back Denis Irwin in a 2-0 defeat. 37 - When Giggs smashed the ball into the top corner of the Benfica goal on 14 September 2011, he became the oldest scorer in the Champions League at 37 years, 289 days. 109 - Since scoring his first Premier League goal against Tottenham in a 1-1 draw on 19 September 1992, Giggs has gone on to hit the back of the net a further 108 times in the league. This season was the first since the start of the Premier League during which he failed to score. 20 - Giggs's 109 goals mean he is ranked 20th in the Premier League's all-time scorers list, sandwiched between Emile Heskey on 110 and Paul Scholes (107). 34 - In Giggs's time at Manchester United, he has won 34 trophies (13 Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions Leagues, one European Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup, one Fifa Club World Cup and nine Charity/Community Shields), making him the most decorated player in English football history. 3 - Giggs has won three BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards - clinching the main award in 2009, while also winning the BBC Wales award in 1996 and 2009. 0 - He has never been shown a red card during his club career, although he was once sent off for Wales, against Norway in September 2001. Media playback is not supported on this device "I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and he floated across the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind" - former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson "He's an outstanding player and it's a privilege to be working with him on my staff. I've seen something different since I've come here - just how good he is, close up - and it's incredible" - former Manchester United manager David Moyes "Ryan Giggs for me is one of the best players in the world. Now maybe he is old but he is a fantastic player" - former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini "Maybe one day people will say I was another Ryan Giggs" - Manchester United legend George Best "Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs" - Dutch legend and three-time world player of the year Johan Cruyff "Only two players made me cry when watching football, one was Diego Maradona and the other Ryan Giggs" - Italian World Cup winner Alessandro Del Piero "I can't remember exactly how old I was but I remember pretending to be Ryan in the back garden" - Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley "Every day of the week, every week of the year for the last 15 years he has been a top player" - former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay. Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United - 19 September 1992 A sight that was to be repeated many times over the next two decades as an 18-year-old Giggs produced a classy finish against Tottenham. A defensive error allowed him to seize possession 30 yards out, before he got the better of a Spurs defender, rounded goalkeeper Ian Walker and fired home from an acute angle. Queens Park Rangers 2-3 Manchester United - 5 February 1994 A stunning strike by Giggs as he whipped the ball away from Ray Wilkins and raced towards goal before smashing a left-foot shot past Czech goalkeeper Jan Stejskal. Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United - 14 April 1999 A truly memorable goal as Giggs took a leaf out of Maradona's book by taking on the entire Arsenal defence. His skill and courage were rewarded as he beat four Arsenal defenders and smashed the ball past David Seaman to send United to Wembley. Wigan 0-2 Manchester United - 11 May 2008 A win that secured United their 17th league title, and fittingly it was Giggs who clinched it, taking Wayne Rooney's clever pass in his stride to slide home a composed finish from 12 yards. Manchester United 2-0 Everton - 10 February 2013 A memorable goal in that it marked one of the many milestones Giggs has achieved in his career - scoring for 23 successive top-flight seasons. Giggs scored from 12 yards via the post to set the Red Devils on the way to victory. Oracle, which owns Java, argued that Google had infringed its copyright and had sought almost $9bn (£6.1bn) in damages. The long-running legal battle has been closely watched as Java is widely used, and Android runs 80% of the world's mobile devices. Oracle says it will appeal to the US Supreme Court. "We strongly believe that Google developed Android by illegally copying core Java technology to rush into the mobile device market," said Oracle lawyer Dorian Daley. "Oracle brought this lawsuit to put a stop to Google's illegal behaviour. We believe there are numerous grounds for appeal and we plan to bring this case back to the federal circuit on appeal." Google, and its parent company Alphabet, argued that they should be able to use Java for free under the "fair use" clause. Fair use under US copyright law allows some access to material without the permission of the rights holder. The jury at the US District Court in San Francisco unanimously upheld that argument. In a statement Google described today's verdict as "a win for the Android ecosystem, for the Java programming community, and for software developers who rely on open and free programming languages to build innovative consumer products." Oracle had argued the success of Android was in danger of "destroying" interest in Java. The "widespread dominance" that Android had achieved in the mobile phone market had done "irreversible" damage to Java's potential market, said Oracle. That success was based on Google using 37 Java packages without permission, it argued. The case had previously been to trial in 2012, but that ended in a deadlocked jury. The news will no doubt be disappointing for Bolt and the rest of his team mates who ran in the 4x100m relay. Sprinter Nesta Carter was tested for banned substances at the time of the race, in 2008, but found to be clean. His sample was retested by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2016 and this time a banned substance was found. Banned substances are drugs that give athletes an unfair advantage in competitions. Trinidad & Tobago have now been awarded the 2008 relay gold instead of Jamaica. Japan have also benefited from the decision and have been upgraded to the silver medal and Brazil who came fourth now have a bronze medal. Bolt has said he will retire after the World Athletic Championships in London in August. He is pictured standing next to the Batmobile in the brooding black-and-white shot, taken on set of the forthcoming Superman vs Batman film. Although the actor was a controversial choice to play the caped crusader, the new photo has had a positive reception. Many have suggested it shows the older Batman from Frank Miller's four-part comic book The Dark Knight Returns. The 1986 series "depicted an aged Bruce Wayne at the end of his career," said Bryan Bishop on The Verge. "Since Affleck is rumoured to be playing an older Batman in the upcoming film, it may not be surprising that Snyder would draw on Miller's grittier designs." Affleck displays "serious muscle definition" and "throbbing veins" in the photo, said Rolling Stone magazine's Jon Blistein. The smoke-filled shot suggests the character will continue to be the "brooding Batman we've come to know and love" from Christopher Nolan's tortured Dark Knight trilogy, he added. Designed by Michael Wilkinson (300, Watchmen) the new Batsuit is "more sculpted and comic-book-like than the armour-plated version worn by Christian Bale" in those movies, noted Matt McDaniel on Yahoo Movies. "The suit hearkens back to Michael Keaton's, with its chiselled muscles and cowl attached to the cape. It also has smaller ears and a much larger bat-symbol across the chest than previous iterations. "Affleck does, though, stand in the same clenched fist and lowered head pose favoured by Bale." Escapist magazine's Ross Lincoln said the "rounder, old fashioned-looking cowl, and smaller ears" made Batman "appear less a demonic personification of justice and more like an actual cartoon bat." "The Batsuit has always been a divisive feature," wrote Justin Kroll for film trade bible Variety. "Especially since George Clooney's costume in Batman and Robin, which came complete with the now-infamous 'Batnipples,' gave fans an advanced warning that the Joel Schumacher production might be troubled." It also ran a readers' poll, which saw 56% of fans approving the new-look Batman. Affleck was not a universally popular choice to take over from Christian Bale. A petition on Change.org urging film studio Warner Bros to "remove Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne in the Superman/Batman movie" has gathered more than 97,000 signatures since his casting was announced last summer. But he has laughed off the criticism, saying he is "a big boy" who can "handle" the backlash. "When you get into the arena of those kinds of movies, these superhero movies, particularly ones that are working with characters that everyone's known for so long, everybody's got these strongly held opinions and preconceived ideas about what it should be," he told Entertainment Weekly. "At the same time, I don't think projections about something that hasn't happened yet are all that meaningful. "I think at the end of the day, it's like any other movie or project: You go out and make it great, people will say it's great. If you go out and miss, you'll hear about it. "The stuff beforehand is kind of just the noise that happens." Affleck will make his debut alongside British actor Henry Cavill's Superman, on 6 May, 2016. The as-yet-untitled film is a sequel to Man of Steel and will also feature Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. Details of the plot are a closely guarded secret, but screenwriter David Goyer told San Diego ComicCon: "We're actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, it's that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that's happening." The second-rower has been with Rovers for the past two seasons on loan from Catalans Dragons. "I've been really looking forward to this news being announced because I love the club," Larroyer, 26, told the club website. Coach Chris Chester added: "He's somebody with a lot of potential to develop and improve his game." Their survey revealed the younger the first viewing occurred, the more likely a male was to want power over women. While if they were older, they were more likely to be sexually promiscuous. Of the 330 undergraduates surveyed, with a median age of 20, the average age they first saw pornography was 13. The youngest was only five, while the oldest was 26. The unpublished findings were presented at a convention in Washington. Lead researcher Alyssa Bischmann and her team asked the men, the vast majority of whom were heterosexual and white, when they first saw porn and whether it was intentional, accidental or forced. They were then asked 46 questions which measured how they conformed to one of two behavioural traits - seeking power over women or sexually promiscuous behaviour and living a playboy lifestyle. They found those who saw porn young were most likely to agree with statements that asserted male dominance, such as "things tend to be better when men are in charge". The researchers were surprised to find that seeing porn later in life was associated with a playboy lifestyle, such as preferring to frequently change sexual partners. Researcher Christina Richardson said this could be because those who were exposed to porn early often did not enjoy sex in real life. "These men often have a lot of performance anxiety with women in real life. Sexual experiences don't go as planned or the way they do in pornography," she said. Alternatively "those who see porn later, enjoy sex in real life more and therefore might be more likely to live a playboy lifestyle". The research, which was presented at the American Psychological Association's annual convention, did not take into account how much porn the men watched, the type of porn or other demographic factors, such as their socio-economic background. It could also have been other personality traits that determined when the males were exposed to porn. Peter Saddington, sex therapist at relationship support provider Relate, said: "Pornography can and does have an impact on many young men's attitudes to sex. "The result can be that young men develop sexist attitudes and are essentially sexually deskilled." Either way, Ms Richardson says porn "is not the healthiest thing for men". She added that young men needed "better role models to develop more healthy beliefs about masculinity".

The PM said she would make it easier to deport foreign terror suspects and "restrict the freedom and movements" of those that present a threat. Labour said it was "not the message that we should be sending". Security has dominated the final days of the general election campaign after the terror attacks in London and Manchester. Rival parties have been criticising the Tories over police cuts. Speaking after the London attack, Mrs May said "enough is enough" and that "things need to change" in the terror fight. Addressing activists in Slough on Tuesday evening, she did not make any specific new policy proposals but said: "I mean longer prison sentences for those convicted of terrorist offences. "I mean making it easier for the authorities to deport foreign terrorist suspects back to their own countries. "And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they are a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court. "And if our human rights laws get in the way of doing it, we will change the law so we can do it." In an interview with The Sun, Mrs May said she would also consider extending the time suspects can be held without charge to 28 days, after it was reduced to 14 days in 2011 under the coalition. "We said there may be circumstances where it is necessary to do this. "I will listen to what they [the police and security services] think is necessary for us to do," she said. Analysis by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg Sources suggest if elected on Friday, Theresa May might consider ideas of curfews, controls on who people can visit and suspects' access to communications. More controversially, she made it plain tonight that if that means the government would have to change the laws on human rights, she is prepared to do so. Labour has immediately cried foul, claiming another manifesto U-turn, at almost the last minute of the campaign. Tory sources deny that flatly, saying they would not pull out of the European Convention on Human Rights but instead, seek fresh derogations - essentially legal opt-outs. Theresa May's team say she is not, at this late stage, making up last-minute policy, but that the terror risk has changed so fast since the start of the election, that she wanted to make clear that if re-elected she is prepared to toughen the law. Read more from Laura The Conservative manifesto committed to remaining in the European Convention on Human Rights - which is separate to the EU - for the whole of the next Parliament. Conservative sources said they would not withdraw from the ECHR but would seek opt-outs called "derogations" from certain aspects. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the right response was to "halt the Conservative cuts and invest in our police and security services and protect our democratic values, including the Human Rights Act." And Shadow Attorney General Baroness Chakrabarti said the PM had "been banging on about her dislike for human rights for a very long time". She told Newsnight Labour's commitment was to deal with terror suspects within the rule of law and the human rights framework. "Our biggest concern is about resources," she said. Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron accused the prime minister of launching a "nuclear arms race" in terror laws. "All she would do is reduce freedom, not terrorism," he said. The World Food Programme says that food prices remain too high, while stocks are dwindling in shops and homes. Government forces trying to recapture the city from so-called Islamic State (IS) militants have cut supply routes, and IS is stopping people from leaving. Falluja is one of two remaining IS strongholds in Iraq. On Thursday the Human Rights Watch campaign group said that residents in the city were starving, with what little food available being sold at exorbitant prices, forcing some to eat food from grass. The WFP report presents a similar picture to that of HRW. "As the siege continued in Falluja for the third consecutive month, no sign of improvement was recorded in March," a WFP report says. "In March, the price of wheat was six times more expensive than in December." Furthermore, shops and markets have run out of food supplies including wheat, sugar, rice, vegetable oil and lentils, says the report, that was conducted by a mobile phone survey last month. Reaching respondents has become increasingly hard because of poor mobile phone signals in the city and the fear of reprisals. "Aid has not reached Falluja since the government recaptured nearby Ramadi in December 2015, with supply routes cut off by Iraqi forces and the armed groups preventing civilians from leaving," the report says. The HRW report last week said desperate residents were using ground date seeds to make flour for bread. One report in Vox.com says that a 110lb (50kg) bag of flour, which costs about $7.50 in the US, has been sold for as much as $4,166 (£2,925; €3,650). It quotes sources as saying that residents in the city have to endure both "vicious IS rule and a constant fear of being killed by shells launched into the city by Iraqi military forces". Since it came out in July 2014, it has become the best-selling literary debut hardback of the decade. This week it was named Waterstones Book of the Year and Burton won the new writer of the year prize at the National Book Awards last week. Set in 1686, The Miniaturist tells the story of a young bride, Nella Oortman, who is given a miniature replica of her own house whose contents seem to mirror real life. Burton, 31, wrote the book over four years while working as an actress and as a PA in a City firm. She tells the BBC's Tim Masters how she got the idea on holiday in Amsterdam, and about her next book. When you are an unpublished writer and you don't have an agent it is a world of doubt whether this work will ever see the light of day. The reason I sometimes hated it was because I could see it in my mind's eye but I couldn't necessarily make it manifest on the page. People have described it as an ambitious book. I never thought of it as that. There were a lot of plot strands to balance - it takes a very long time to make a book readable for the general public and that was my struggle. I was doing it to the fill the gaps in between acting. I always made sure I did my other work but I did have to write it in bits because I had to pay the bills. I was very fascinated by this house and I stood in front of it for a lot longer than anybody else. The things that caught my attention was the fact that she spent as much money on it as her real house. I thought: "Why?" The society of the time was one of great ostentation. In a wealthy society like that they were painting themselves and decorating their houses - there was a lot of evidence left for me to look at. There are so many paintings and first-hand accounts. There's a cookbook I used from 1671. But I didn't want it to be a didactic history lesson for the reader. I wanted it to be a story with characters who you cared about. Why do you think the character of Nella has had such appeal to readers? Nella is so spirited and she takes life by the horns and gets on with it. She's a life force and I think people are attracted to that. You're a trained actor - will this story have any life on the stage? It would be great if it was adapted into a play. It would be a good Christmas extravaganza - maybe a musical. Maybe I should write a libretto. Do you miss acting? I don't think it ever quite leaves you but one of the reasons this book came into being was because the acting was drying up - as it does for quite a few women in their late 20s. The publishing industry has welcomed me with open arms far more than the acting industry ever did. What stage are you at with your next novel? It's called Belonging. I'm about a quarter of the way through a first draft. I've got the whole book plotted out. It's a dual time frame that starts in the Spanish Civil War. A promising artist goes missing - presumed dead - and then 30 years later in a London art gallery his works re-emerge. This opens a can of worms for the woman working in the gallery who's been trying to keep secrets. It's a thriller with romance and art in the mix. I'm having fun with it. Since taking over in 2011, Hansen has a win ratio of 91%, and guided the All Blacks to World Cup success in 2015. Steve Tew, chief executive of the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU), has left the door open to Hansen continuing in his post after the 2019 World Cup. "I doubt his record will ever be mirrored, and long may it continue," Tew told BBC Radio 5 live. Hansen is contracted until the end of the next World Cup in Japan in two years' time, and is expected to step down following the tournament. Vern Cotter, Joe Schmidt and Warren Gatland have all been tipped to replace him, but Tew says it is not a foregone conclusion that Hansen will relinquish the role. "Steve has gone from strength to strength," added Tew, who was appointed in 2011. "If Steve had an appetite to keep going, and was sure he had the group of people around him and the players were motivated by that, then it's obviously something we would very seriously consider." Hansen was elevated to the top job having served as an assistant to Sir Graham Henry, and Tew says the concept of again promoting from within appeals to the NZRU were Hansen to leave the post. "At this stage we are still thinking through exactly how we run that process - it can be complicated," Tew continued. "But don't overlook [current All Blacks assistant coach] Ian Foster in this country. He is sitting in a very successful environment and making an enormous contribution. "We certainly want to have that option [of promoting from within], and Ian is definitely one of those options we want to have ready and appropriately skilled and experienced." Tew also says the NZRU are in regular contact with the Kiwi coaches working overseas. "We produce a lot of coaches, and in this professional era there is a strong drive from ex-players to stay in the game," said Tew. "We can't actually offer all of them jobs, so some of them going overseas is beneficial, but we are very keen to keep them connected and very keen to keep them back when the time is right." But while New Zealand rugby has perhaps never been in a stronger place, Tew says they won't let up in their bid for continued global dominance. "We don't make any apology for doing as well as we possibly can, but you have to be really careful you don't get complacent," he said. "People are currently questioning where Australian rugby is at - I won't join that debate - but it was only 2015 when they won the Rugby Championship and reached a World Cup final - so things can change very, very quickly. "We won't take anything for granted and we won't get complacent, but we certainly won't be giving anyone a break, because we don't think that's the right thing to do either." John Delozier, of Johnston, is charged with assault, strangulation and harassment. According to a police report, the 31-year-old suspect accused his wife of only caring about money just before the attack last Saturday. The victim had suggested saving some of the money they were given as gifts. Mr Delozier initially fled the scene, but was arrested and is awaiting trial at the Cambria County Prison. Joseph Mathunjwa, the president of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), said it had accepted a wage deal. He said the AMCU's striking members would return to work on Wednesday. The stoppage has affected 45% of the global supply of platinum and played a part in the contraction of South Africa's economy in the first quarter. So far the mining companies involved, Anglo American Platinum, Imapla Platinum and Lonmin, have not commented. Management are meeting the AMCU on Tuesday when the deal is expected to be signed. Mr Mathunjwa was addressing a stadium full of workers, who have not been paid for five months. The workers shouted "sign, sign, sign". Mr Mathunjwa said the companies had "agreed to the bulk of our demands". The strike began on 23 January, when more than 70,000 workers downed tools to demand higher wages and benefits. The strike has hit platinum production in the world's top exporting country, with companies reporting a combined loss of 23.8bn rand (£1.3bn, $2.2bn) in earnings. The deal could mean pay of as much as 12,500 rand (£694) per month, depending on the seniority of the workers, with increases over the next three years. South Africa holds around 80% of the world's known platinum reserves. So far stockpiles have kept the markets supplied with the metal, which is key for producing catalytic converters used to reduce automotive pollution. The South African rand gained almost 1% to 10.5575 to the US dollar, its strongest since 9 June. The heat has been compounded by chronic power shortages, depriving homes of electricity for large parts of the day. The conditions have placed a particular strain on Iraqis displaced by an assault on Falluja, a UN official said. Average temperatures in June were the highest recorded worldwide - a rise attributed to greenhouse gas emissions. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June was 0.9C above the 20th Century average of 15.5C. The heatwave in Iraq prompted the closure of all government offices on Wednesday and Thursday, the last days of the working week, and brought life to a standstill in many parts of the country. The soaring temperatures, coupled with shortages of drinking water and electricity, have made life harder for Iraqis displaced by a military assault on Falluja, a town formerly held by so-called Islamic State militants. A UN spokeswoman who visited two camps for the displaced this week told the BBC that many residents were only "grabbing one or two hours of sleep a night" because of the heat. Caroline Gluck, from UN refugee agency UNHCR, said people at camps in Habbaniya and Amiriyat al-Falluja were trying to keep cool by moistening their clothes. She added that many families had only brought one set of clothes with them. Several residents had developed pus-filled sores, she said, possibly as a result of the heat and inadequate hygiene. Near-record temperatures have also been reported in neighbouring Kuwait. Across the region, social media users have been tweeting about the heat. @9Khaled5 tweeted: "#Heatwave_strikes_Saudi A moment of silence for the death of the greatest inventor in history…Willis Carrier, the inventor of air conditioning." @7510x_ asked: "Is this heat or has Kuwait entered the [hell] fire?" @sa113355 shared a video that claims to show a man in the Iraqi city of Basra, frying an egg on the pavement. And @noorhan__ali described the heat as just another test of the Iraqi people's tolerance, alongside "rubbish internet", "attacks by cockroaches" - and Islamic State. Randox Testing Services (RTS) is used by forces across the UK to analyse samples used in prosecutions. Police chiefs said it had been told 484 cases handled by the firm since November 2015 may have been affected. The men, 47 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and bailed, police said. RTS said it was fully co-operating with the investigation and some tests could be "re-run". The allegations relate to drug tests analysed at its Manchester office. In a statement, RTS said there was no evidence to say alcohol samples were affected because they were not tested at that site. The firm, based in Northern Ireland, said the investigation centres on the "manipulation of quality control data, which supports test results". A statement added: "A number of toxicology results have been compromised. RTS are working tirelessly to fully assess the impact and implications for each case. "Where possible, when viable, samples will be re-run to provide robust, uncompromised results. "There is no question mark over the RTS quality system or the robustness of our practices and procedures." Chief Constable Debbie Simpson, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for forensic science, said Randox had provided each force with a list of cases that could have been affected. "Working in partnership with the Crown Prosecution Service, we have provided guidance to forces so they are able to review each case to determine if compromised data played a part in prosecution and the CPS will then take appropriate action in any cases identified," she added. The former chairman of the Hanlong Group was sentenced to death in May for "leading mafia-style crime and murder". He is reported to have had links to disgraced security official Zhou Yongkang, who is currently under investigation for breaching party discipline - often a reference to corruption allegations. Official media reports, however, make no mention of such links, and indeed refrain from any wider comment beyond welcoming news of Liu's execution. "The dark evil ones face execution, justice has finally arrived," trumpets the state news agency Xinhua. "This shows the total destruction of the mega-mafia organisation, and also fully reflects the belief and determination of the central government to pursue rule of law and clamp down on the evil and illegal forces." Describing Liu Han and his alleged associates as the "people's enemy", the agency quotes observers as saying that the case "sends a signal" that the leadership's ambitious legal and anti-corruption reforms are gathering pace. "The reform process is being strengthened," the report says. "There will be no 'privileged citizens' if we continue to strengthen the rule of law and improve the legal system where everyone can enjoy justice." In contrast to the mainland Chinese media, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post openly connects Liu with Mr Zhou, describing him as an associate of the latter's son. "While close ties between the business community and party officials are common in China, Liu's case has exposed in surprising detail large networks of the rich and their uncertain role in political struggles," daily comments. On a related topic, the press also focuses on comments by Premier Li Keqiang vowing to step up anti-corruption efforts in state-owned enterprises. Mr Li said on Monday that the government would "devolve some powers to lower levels in order to reduce scope for officials bargaining for benefits", according to Xinhua. The premier acknowledged that corruption "still plagues the government" and called for tightening of supervision over state-owned businesses to "make sure no national property is pocketed by a small number of corrupt officials". Backing Mr Li's call, the China Daily argues that the lack of effective supervision and accountability in the state sector is "an invitation to absolute corruption". In a strongly-worded editorial, the daily lambasts "greedy" executives whose deeds had "reduced them to not even qualifying as citizens". Corruption is rampant even in China's film, radio and television industries, according to media reports, with the Beijing Times highlighting several recent cases in the sector. The areas affected include censorship, advertisement as well as content and equipment procurement, the paper says, and quotes observers as welcoming moves to "cleanse the industry and win the trust of the people". Wang Hailin, a screenwriter, tells the Global Times that some producers promise TV station executives money to pay for their work to get past the censors, allowing "poor-quality" films and TV series onto the market. And finally, the Global Times reports that several Chinese student representatives were expelled from an international discussion event after they protested against Taiwan being listed as a sovereign nation in the conference handbook. The participants had been attending the Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN), at which young delegates from around the world simulate being the United Nations. After a request by Chinese delegates for a change to the handbook was rejected "owing to copyright issues", some of them "ended up being ejected from a meeting", according to the report. The paper's editorial takes HMUN's organisers to task, saying their "mistake" in granting Taiwan even simulated UN membership is not to be taken lightly. "Although it's organized by students, the HMUN is a serious simulation of the real United Nations," the paper says. "The blunder should not just be brushed away."

Irish lawmakers voted by 74 votes to 51 in favour of the deal. Some MPs had expressed concern about the sale of the 25% stake, fearing that services between Irish airports and London's Heathrow could be cut. However, on Tuesday, after months of negotiation, the government and IAG announced an agreement under which IAG promised to maintain routes. Under the deal, IAG agreed to a legally binding commitment to maintain current services between Heathrow and Dublin, Cork and Shannon for at least seven years. Also, Aer Lingus will operate its international passenger services under the Aer Lingus brand and its head office will remain in the Republic of Ireland. In order to take complete control of Aer Lingus, IAG still needs to reach an agreement with the remaining big shareholder, Ryanair. Ryanair, which holds a 29.8% stake, says it will consider a bid when it receives a formal offer. The result meant heartbreak for rivals Somerset, who needed the match to be drawn to take their first-ever title. After Dawid Malan (116) and Nick Gubbins (93) put on 198, Middlesex made a contrived declaration on 359-6. It left Yorkshire to score 240 off 40 overs for a third-successive title, but they were all out for 178 in the 36th. A compelling final day ended in dramatic fashion as Roland-Jones had Azeem Rafiq caught behind hooking at the end of one over and then bowled Andrew Hodd and Ryan Sidebottom with the first two deliveries of his next to finish with 6-54 and match figures of 10-127. Their third defeat of the summer left Yorkshire in third place in the final table. The home side began the day on 81-2 and Malan and Gubbins appeared in no particular hurry as they batted through the morning until the latter was caught and bowled by Rafiq off a leading edge shortly before lunch. At that stage they were only 81 runs ahead and after Malan reached his century off 203 balls, a strange interlude followed as Stevie Eskinazi took 27 balls to score his first run, with some spectators baffled by Middlesex's tactical approach. After only five overs with the new ball, however, Yorkshire turned to Adam Lyth and Alex Lees to provide some easy pickings and a rapid acceleration occurred as 120 came off the next 8.5 overs before the declaration. Lees seemed embarrassed by the wickets of Malan and John Simpson (31), the former caught one-handed by Jack Brooks at square leg, and the innings came to an end when James Franklin (30) literally gave his away by soft-batting an unmissable return catch to Lyth, leaving Eskinazi on 78 not out. Seeking to emulate their Yorkshire counterparts that won the title three times in a row from 1966-68, the last team to do so, the White Rose county suffered an early setback when Lyth (13) edged Roland-Jones to first slip. Lees (20) and David Willey (11) then fell to Tim Murtagh, but first-innings centurion Tim Bresnan did his best to revive their fading hopes with a 44-ball fifty, including two sixes. When he was lbw to Roland-Jones for 55, they needed 87 off the final 10 overs and the task was beyond their lower order as the Middlesex paceman, included in an England Test squad earlier in the summer, took the Championship trophy back to the home of cricket with 28 balls remaining in the match. Middlesex, who finished second to Yorkshire in 2015, have now won the title 11 times, and shared it on two further occasions. BBC Radio London's Kevin Hand: "A few negotiations happened very quickly, with Andrew Gale going off three times. "Yorkshire felt that perhaps Middlesex would gamble before the new ball, lost wickets and then they could have gone through the rest with the new ball. It didn't happen, so when the new ball became available, Yorkshire went to Middlesex and said 'what do you want?' "There is nothing controversial for me because this has always happened in cricket. I'm sure there will be annoyance, upset and anger at Taunton - but Somerset would have done the same thing." BBC Radio Leeds' Dave Callaghan: "I understand why it happened and I'm not against it today because we wanted to see a wonderful end to this game, but on a personal level I don't like it at all. "These two teams have been terrific in this match and it was a means to an end and it set us up for a thrilling two and a half hours. "All's fair in love and war and Somerset have taken criticism for the quality of some of the pitches they have prepared in recent matches." Middlesex captain James Franklin: "I had a look at the cup after warm-ups and thought there was a slim chance but to be holding it is unbelievable. "We've remained unbeaten and that was something we were very proud of going into this game. "We just wanted to put a good show on. We were on the back foot for pretty much the whole game. "To finally get over the line is testament to our group of players, our coaching staff, the belief - we just grew from last year and here we are holding the cup." Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie: "We're obviously disappointed to lose a game of cricket and not have that opportunity to win the Championship. "But it was really the only opportunity to chase a target so Gayley and James Franklin got together and set that up and it was just a case of we needed to go out there and score the runs. "We needed someone to get a significant score - probably an 80-plus and some other contributions if we were going to be anywhere near." Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland now sit fourth in Group F with four points from three games after Tuesday's defeat in Trnava. "The people who I feel sorry for are the players," said Strachan. "They're the ones I'm thinking about. "I'm proud of them. The second group you feel sorry for are the supporters." Strachan believes Scotland can still compete for second place in the group, despite taking just one point from their October double-header against Slovakia and Lithuania, who earned a 1-1 draw at Hampden on Saturday. The Scots face group leaders England at Wembley on 11 November. "Form can change in a couple of weeks and this campaign is played over a year," said Strachan, who has been in charge since January 2013. "Every time I get together with these guys, they rejuvenate me. We've given it our best shot in the last couple of games in terms of doing what we think is right, trying to pick the right side. "I'm happy with the response from the lads every time. We'd like to be better off but we are one point off a play-off place." Two goals from Robert Mak and a third by Adam Nemec have Slovakia victory. Their first goal was controversial, with the visitors believing there was a foul by Jan Durica on Steven Fletcher prior to the move that ended with Mak's finish. Mak and then Nemec were both afforded too much space in Scotland's penalty box as they increased the home side's advantage in the second half. "Just when they need a break, the decision being on their side, it goes against them," Strachan said of the incident involving Fletcher. He praised his players for being "brave on the ball" and for "trying to make chances" but the second goal proved crucial. "It was uphill after that," said Strachan, who succeeded Craig Levein. A judge told Darren Joseph Casey, 26, his was a "highly exceptional case". He said the death of Owen Gerard McKeown, 21, "was the tragic result of his own decision to jump into the River Bann". Casey, from Claragh Hill Grange, Kilrea, admitted the manslaughter of Mr McKeown, on 5 May 2012. He was initially sentenced to 15 months, added to a previous three-month suspended term. He will serve half of his sentence in prison, with the remainder on parole. He could be due for release in a month. The judge said Mr McKeown died because he ran "no doubt in fear of further assault" and jumped into the river. Earlier in December, a prosecuting lawyer told the court Casey had stripped off and jumped into the river after Nr McKeown. While it was accepted that he did not intend his death, by an unlawful act of striking Mr McKeown, and his guilty plea to manslaughter, he accepted responsibility for it. A defence lawyer said it was a tragic and unfortunate case, in which a remorseful Casey had put his own life in danger. He said Mr McKeown, had travelled to Kilrea from Ballymena with Casey to get steroid drugs that both men used as part of their body-building regime. As they were climbing over a fence, Mr McKeown allegedly struck Casey, who punched him to the ground, where he continued his attack. He said a group of canoeists saw a fully-clothed man jump into the river. "He swam out from the bank, and then disappeared under the water. Another male then stripped off his clothing and also entered the water in an apparent attempt to rescue the first male," the lawyer said. Unable to save Mr McKeown, Casey returned to the bank, dressed and drove off. A post-mortem report on Mr McKeown, whose cause of death was drowning, also indicated that he may well have been under the influence of drugs. The lawyer said Casey's version of events could be independently corroborated by statements from two men who had travelled from Ballymena with him. The lawyer said Casey had shown genuine, sincere and deep remorse, and had later gone with his father to police, "to do the right thing". He was so extremely upset at the death of Mr McKeown, that he could not be properly interviewed and was admitted to hospital for a time. Delegates voted 309 in favour and 183 against. The vote followed a church-wide debate and consultations with all 45 presbyteries, which voted 31 to 14 in favour of change. A further vote will be held this week on whether or not to extend ordination to ministers in same sex marriages. Supporters said it was time for the church to be inclusive and recognise the "mixed economy" of modern Scotland. Opponents warned that the move was contrary to God's law, would prove divisive and lead to resignations. A spokesman for the Church of Scotland said that the current stance meant that the Church had adopted a position which "maintains a traditional view of marriage between a man and woman, but allows individual congregations to 'opt out' if they wish to appoint a minister or a deacon in a same sex civil partnership." No Kirk session can be forced into doing so. The debate predates the legalisation of gay marriage, so the Assembly will be asked next Thursday to consider amending the new Kirk law to include ministers in same-sex marriages. The ordaining of gay ministers has proved a controversial topic for years. In 2009 some members attempted to block the appointment of the Reverend Scott Rennie, who is gay, to Queen's Cross Church in Aberdeen. At the Kirk's gathering in 2011, commissioners voted to accept gay and lesbian clergy - on the condition they had declared their sexuality and were ordained before 2009. The Kirk then prepared a report by its theological commission, which set out arguments on both sides. Last year, the general assembly voted to allow presbyteries to debate whether congregations could opt out of its traditional stance and appoint homosexual ministers. They also agreed to put new draft legislation out to local presbyteries to settle the issue once and for all. The presbyteries came back in favour of change by 31 to 14. At the opening of the General Assembly, which was attended by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Rev Dr Angus Morrison was installed as the new Moderator. He was forced to withdraw from the role last year to undergo treatment for cancer. In a speech later on Saturday, the outgoing Moderator Very Rev John Chalmers was to say: "We cannot go on suffering the pain of internal attacks which are designed to undermine the work or the place of others. It's time to play for the team. "And let me be very clear here - I am not speaking to one side or another of the theological spectrum. I am speaking to both ends and middle. "It is time to stop calling each other names, time to shun the idea that we should define ourselves by our differences and instead define ourselves by what we hold in common - our baptism into Christ, our dependence on God's grace, our will to serve the poor and so on." The rate increased from 27.7% in the previous month. For those under the age of 25, unemployment hit 61.4%. Harsh austerity measures have led the Greek economy to shrink by a quarter in four years. However, other economic indicators have suggested that there are signs of recovery. The BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens says the bleak unemployment numbers are in contrast to a message that the government has been trying to push: that Greece has turned a corner, with six years of recession due to end this year and light on the horizon. He says the contrast with pre-crisis Greece is stark. Before the country received its first 110bn-euro ($150bn; £90bn) bailout in May 2010, the jobless rate was under 12% here. Slight growth is expected this year and the deficit now wiped out, apart from interest payments on the bailout. But our correspondent says that the government fears it will take a big hit in local and European elections in May. Greek unemployment is more than twice the average rate in the eurozone. The number of people out of work in the single currency bloc in December was 19 million, with the jobless rate at 12%, according to official EU figures. Other economic figures such as retail sales, manufacturing activity and construction, have pointed to signs that Greece's recession has bottomed out. However, Greece's unemployment rate is expected to rise further in the first three months of 2014 as firms continue to restructure and cut jobs. "As expected, the labour market showed a lagging reaction to other positive signs in the economy, said economist Nikos Magginas at National Bank in Athens. "The increase in unemployment is also due to a loss of support from tourism which was seen in the previous months." With 1.38 million people officially jobless, turning around the country's economy will take time, even if the recovery does start this year as Athens hopes. Before the crash when Greece was growing at up to 5% annually, about 50,000 jobs a year were added to the economy. At these rates it could take more than 20 years to reduce the jobless totals - without measures to encourage domestic and foreign investment Mr Allen, 24, from the "Top of the Hill" in the Waterside area, was shot at a house in Links View Park, Lisfannon on 9 February. In a statement, RAAD said its Donegal unit shot Mr Allen whom they called a "death dealer" and "career criminal". The father of two was the first man to be murdered by RAAD. But the group has been responsible for a series of punishment-style shootings in the Derry area. In its statement released on Wednesday, RAAD said Mr Allen had been warned to "cease his activities five to six months ago" but had not done so. RAAD also issued a threat against six other unnamed individuals and warned they would face "the ultimate sanction". The vigilante group claimed it was forced to call off a second attack on the night of the murder because of increased police activity in Derry. Mr Allen was one of several men forced out of the city by RAAD last year. Sinn Fein assembly member Raymond McCartney said the group should disband. "Within hours of the murder it was widely accepted that this criminal gang masquerading as defenders of the community carried out this grusome act," he said. "The rationale being put forward by this gang for its existence is redundant and it has created nothing but grief in the community. "Contrary to what this pseudo group claims there is no measurable support in the community for their actions." On the night of Mr Allen's murder, three men went up to the house and fired a number of shots through a bedroom window. Mr Allen had been living at the house for about six months. His partner was in the property when the shooting happened at 21:20 GMT, but was not injured. A car was found burnt out a short distance away at Fahan shortly after the attack. Toy maker Mattel is partnering with US start-up ToyTalk to develop Hello Barbie, which will have two-way conversations with children. The Barbie will use a speech-recognition platform developed by ToyTalk. A prototype of the doll was at the New York Toy Fair on 14 February, where a glut of smart toys were on display. "The number one request we hear from girls around the world is that they want to have a conversation with Barbie. Now, for the first time ever, Barbie can have a two-way conversation," said a spokeswoman for Mattel. The Hello Barbie will be able to play interactive games and tell stories and jokes. It will also listen to the child's conversation and adapt to it over time - so, for instance, if a child mentions that they like to dance, the doll may refer to this in a future chat. The doll requires a wi-fi connection and can provide an hour's worth of playtime when fully charged. A microphone, speaker and two tricolour LEDs will be embedded in the doll's necklace, while rechargeable batteries in its legs can be connected to an external wall-mounted charger. The doll is expected to sell for about $74.99 (£49). No release date has yet been confirmed. Increasingly, the toy market is becoming saturated with smart versions of old favourites. Back in November, the Vivid Toy group released Cayla, a doll that uses speech-recognition and Google's translation tools. In January, security researcher Ken Munro discovered a vulnerability in its software, which allowed for it to be hacked to say things that might not be suitable for children. A start-up, now live on Kickstarter, is developing a line of smart toys powered by the IBM-developed supercomputer Watson. The first range from Elemental Path will be a smart dinosaur that can chat with children, tell them jokes and answer a range of questions. "Toys have to keep up with the expectations of children," said Natasha Crookes, director of communications for the British Toy and Hobby Association. "As long as children are protected from being able to access anything online, there is no harm in internet-connected toys. "Companies take a lot of care making sure that there are white lists and black lists for content." Some critics have questioned whether internet-connected toys endanger traditional, imaginative play, but Ms Crookes is not convinced. "Such toys can enhance traditional play," she says. "Some of the time, children will play with the toy in internet-connected mode, and some of the time they will play with them in the traditional way, using their imagination," she said. Hackers calling themselves Shadow Brokers started an auction for the malware last week. The security firm Kaspersky said it believed the original files were from Equation Group, which is thought to be linked to the NSA. A former NSA worker Dave Aitel pointed the finger at Russian involvement. He said it was likely to be a diplomatic strategy, related to the blame being placed on Russia for a recently revealed hack of computers belonging to the Democratic party in the US. Mr Snowden tweeted on Tuesday: "This leak is likely a warning that someone can prove US responsibility for any attacks that originated from this malware server." Kaspersky has released analysis that led it to believe "with a high degree of confidence that the tools from the Shadow Brokers leak are related to the malware from the Equation group". It said that elements of a sample released by the hackers for verification displayed characteristics thought to be unique to Equation. Equation is reported to have links to the NSA. Shadow Brokers are holding a Bitcoin auction for the key to the remainder of the data, which it says is encrypted. The whistleblowing website Wikileaks has also claimed to be in possession of the data and will release it in "due course". However, the hackers themselves have raised the suggestion that they may not be true to their word. In an FAQ, under a heading asking why they are to be trusted, the hackers wrote: "No trust, risk. You like reward, you take risk, maybe win, maybe not, no guarantees." In a blogpost, Mr Aitel listed the reasons he said made it "almost certain" that the malware leak was related to the hacks perpetrated on the US Democratic party that resulted in the resignation of some of the party's senior leadership figures. Among them, he included the timing of the auction, which comes about three years after experts believe the information was stolen. "High level US political officials seemed quite upset about the DNC hacks, which no doubt resulted in a covert response, which this is then likely a counter-response to," he said. In a post written on Tuesday, he added that the "ability to keep something this big quiet" for that length of time was "probably limited to only those with operational security expertise or desire to leverage those bugs for themselves". Mr Snowden said the "hack of an NSA malware staging server is not unprecedented, but the publication of the take is". He explained that it was common for security services to attempt to target each other's hacking tools in an effort to "create 'fingerprints' to help us detect them in the future". He wrote: "Why did they do it? No one knows, but I suspect this is more diplomacy than intelligence, related to the escalation around the DNC hack." Suggesting that the leak was likely to be a warning, Mr Snowden added: "That could have significant foreign policy consequences. Particularly if any of those operations targeted US allies… particularly if any of those operations targeted elections." "Accordingly, this may be an effort to influence the calculus of decision-makers wondering how sharply to respond to the DNC hacks." And he added: "This leak looks like a somebody sending a message that an escalation in the attribution game could get messy fast." Police said the woman was arrested in Manchester on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts on 24 March and was released on Thursday. A 30-year-old man arrested in Birmingham on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts remains in custody. Khalid Masood, 52, killed three people on 22 March in Westminster before fatally stabbing a police officer. Masood drove his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and then ran into the Palace of Westminster grounds armed with two knives. On Thursday, an inquest heard Masood died at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the chest after he was shot by police. In total, his attack lasted 82 seconds. Metropolitan Police said 10 other people who were arrested have all been released with no further action. PC Keith Palmer, 48, American tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes, 75, and college worker Aysha Frade, 44, were killed in the attack. Just two days later, Gerry Adams said in a blog post that the IRA had "shot" alleged sex offenders or expelled them. And then, a month later he told Irish state broadcaster RTÉ that the names of alleged republican sex abusers had been posted anonymously through his letterbox in Belfast. A Sinn Féin party insider told Spotlight that the party did investigate abuse allegations. The Sinn Féin insider spoke to the programme on the basis of anonymity and said: "Allegations of abuse are dealt with carefully now, but past allegations of abuse are more likely to have been handled by the party locally. "If there is a case about allegations of abuse anywhere it goes up the line. "Leaving aside the justice angle, all of these things have potential serious political repercussions. So the idea that it would not go up the line is not credible. "It is not credible for leadership to say they didn't know of other cases. Anything significant and anything of any substance would be known by leadership people." A separate republican source told Spotlight that senior members of Sinn Féin were involved in investigating allegations of abuse by republicans. Spotlight asked Sinn Féin: "Were senior members of the party ever involved in investigating allegations of abuse by republicans?" In response the party said: "Sinn Féin does not conduct any inquiries into allegations of abuse. That is the role of the police North and South." Spotlight asked for clarification on whether it had ever happened, but the party did not respond on that point. The administration on the council had been made up of Conservative, Liberal Democrats, Labour and Independent councillors. But the Conservative-led administration lost its majority after the resignation of four coalition councillors. The leadership will be shared between independent Martin Kitts-Hayes and the SNP's Richard Thomson. Mr Kitts-Hayes said: "I think it's going to work very well. We have to be able to compromise." Mr Thomson said: "Job sharing arrangements are becoming more and more commonplace in society." The meeting saw the SNP's Hamish Vernal and Allison Grant become the new provost and deputy provost respectively. Ousted former provost Jill Webster said: "I am undoubtedly very sad, because I have put my heart and soul into the role. It feels like a stab in the back." But Green councillor Martin Ford said after the vote: "Provost Webster has worked very hard, there's no personal criticism, she was just part of an administration which has lost its majority." Scientists developed a way to measure levels of respect, based on the officers' language during routine traffic stops in Oakland City. The study is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It aims to use bodycam footage to help improve police-community relations. While bodycam footage has been used as evidence in criminal cases - including some where complaints have been made against police - the aim of this study was to turn this continuously gathered footage into data and use that to track and improve everyday policing. "These routine interactions are important," said lead scientist Prof Jennifer Eberhardt, "they're the way most people encounter the police." "And people care as much about how they're treated as whether or not they got a [speeding] ticket. "It can affect how people view the police, how they think about the police - whether or not they want to co-operate with them." The study was part of a unique, decade long research collaboration between Stanford University and the Oakland Police Department in California, which began when the department asked Prof Eberhardt to analyse their stop and search data. "We had location and details [of who was stopped], but we also had the camera's recording of every interaction," she said. "I figured we could could analyse exactly what's happening here." The Stanford team transcribed 1,000 interactions between police and members of the public, then picked out a random selection of 400 "utterances" made by officers during these dialogues. They then had a group of volunteers read and rate these utterances, with each one being rated by at least 10 people. "[Our volunteers] looked at the text without knowing the race of the officer or of the community member," said Prof Eberhardt. "The task was to come up with a score that quantified respectfulness, so each utterance was rated for politeness, friendliness and how formal or informal it was. "Then we looked for what we call the linguistic correlates of that rating- so what words are present when something is scored as more or less respectful." Co-author of the study PhD student Rob Voigt explained how the team had used these volunteers' ratings to develop a computer model that could automatically analyse the utterances - searching and scoring subtle linguistic markers that made an officer's language more or less respectful. "Our computer model learns to measure each of these linguistic features," Mr Voigt said. "So we can ask, 'How polite is it when you apologise?' and it can give us a number. "So, apologies, calling someone 'sir', taking an interest in the person, maybe by saying, 'Drive safely,' they're all perceived as more respectful. "And then disrespectful features include questions, negatively charged words and using terms like 'bro' or 'man', or first names rather than titles," he said. Prof Eberhardt said they had found "real racial disparity in officers' language use". The researchers' main collaborator in the police department, Deputy Chief Leronne Armstrong, told BBC News that Oakland PD wanted to examine interactions with the community in order to "better train our officers and improve the way we communicate". "We've heard many times the community's concern about racial profiling," he told BBC News. "We have to be willing to ask those really tough questions about what our officers are doing." Prof Eberhardt also stressed that these findings did not "equate to racial bias". "There could be many reasons why you have the differences we're finding," she said. "It could have to do with a particular law enforcement strategy, police policies, the community members' language, or if there's tension already in a community because of a recent high profile case. "We're trying to understand the root, but we're not taking for granted that it's bias." Deputy Chief Armstrong added: "This [collaboration] really is ground-breaking." "No other police force in the the country has opened up [and given scientists] access to this data. "[And] this report will be a way in which we can learn and be better - to be the best we can be for our community. "Any police department should do the same." Samuel Tweed, from Mark Street in Newtownards, County Down, is now 73 years old. He escaped from custody at Belfast Magistrates' Court in May 1974 where he had been facing firearms charges. He had been arrested in connection with the discovery of a weapons cache in the city the previous month, April 1974. The haul included 10 revolvers, nine pistols, a sawn-off shotgun and assorted ammunition. He was re-arrested in September 2012 and was later charged in court over the 1974 escape and having guns and ammunition with intent. At Belfast Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, he was re-arraigned on three charges of having guns and ammunition and escaping from custody. He pleaded guilty to all three charges. Tweed had faced two further firearms charges but a prosecution barrister asked the court not to proceed with those, in light of Tweed's guilty pleas to the other offences. The judge released him on continuing bail pending pre-sentence reports. Tweed is due to be sentenced at the end of August. Russell Sherwood, 69 from Cilfrew, Neath, went missing during Storm Angus early on 20 November 2016. Another driver had been saved from the same stretch of road one hour earlier. Returning a narrative verdict, coroner Philip Spinney said it was "significant" no warning was in place. He expressed concern that South Wales Fire and Rescue Service had not stayed at the scene of the rescue until the road was closed. "In my view it is significant that the road was left without warning", he said, adding, "the flood continued to pose a danger to life". Mr Spinney will write to South Wales Fire and Rescue Service asking them to review procedures after Mr Sherwood's death last year. They have 56 days to respond. Mr Sherwood went missing while heading to Ewenny, Vale of Glamorgan, at around 07:00 GMT, to collect his wife, a cancer nurse, from her night shift. Three days later his body was found in his submerged car in the River Ogmore. The inquest heard how Mr Sherwood's car was swept into the river at an area known as Dipping Bridge on New Inn Road near Bridgend. Another motorist, Stephen Evans, had been rescued by the fire service from the same spot about an hour earlier after water started coming in through his doors. He told the inquest how he rang the police, who said they could not help him, before ringing the fire service - who arrived on the opposite side of the bridge. Mr Evans described climbing out of his car through the passenger window and said that by around 06:00, when the fire service was on the scene, the water was going over the roof of the car. He added: "I did ask them why the road wasn't closed. "They said they had informed Highways." Stephen Richards, from South Wales Fire and Rescue, told the inquest that when his colleagues arrived at the scene there was 10 inches of standing water. They rescued Mr Evans and left after making two calls to the Highways Agency. Mr Spinney asked why the fire service had not taken any steps to close the road. Mr Richards said: "It is not fire service protocol to close the road." Asked if the fire service should have waited until the Highways Agency arrived, Mr Richards said they needed to be available for other emergency calls. Rafael Combarro, Bridgend superintendent for the Highways Agency, told the inquest they had to deal with other flooding incidents in nearby Pyle before they could close the New Inn Road, where Mr Evans' rescue had taken place. He said he was able to close the bridge at around 07:00 and that he had dealt with the closure as quickly as he could "with the resources we had". The inquest heard Mr Sherwood was last spotted on police cameras at 06.51. In a statement read to the hearing, Mrs Sherwood said her husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2007 and went into remission after treatment. "He retired that year and was at his happiest when he was with me or doing things with his family," she said, adding that he always picked her up and collected her from night shifts. "Russ idolised me and displayed various acts of love and kindness on a daily basis," she said "He was a kind-natured man to everyone he met. Russ was my world and I will never get over losing him." Oxford Homeless Pathways said 200 beds at the O'Hanlon House hostel in the city centre were at risk from a planned £600,000 cut in its council grant. Oxfordshire County Council has proposed a £1.5m cut to its budget for homelessness services. The authority said it was not obliged to provide homelessness services, but no decision had yet been made. Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire A spokesman said it was "not a legal requirement for the county council" to offer facilities. The charity's chief executive, Lesley Dewhurst, said if the cut goes ahead it would have "a devastating impact" on the services offered by her organisation and others. "You can't do those services for nothing, you can't just do them with volunteers, you can't do them without there being bricks and mortar to accommodate them in," she said. "Losing that amount of money will mean organisations, potentially like mine, closing. "I can't believe, after my organisation has been going for 30 years, we will suddenly go back to a situation that is almost pre-George Orwell [era], where there are endless numbers of people living in effectively shanty towns in tents." Orwell wrote Down and Out in Paris and London as a memoir of life among the poor and destitute in the late 1920s. The county council's spokesman said it was already having to save £290m from 2010 to 2018, and may have to save up to £50m on top of that. He added 50% of the council's overall budget was spent on the 2% of the population who are in care, and it was believed this could rise to 75% by 2020. NFU Scotland said a "damning report" from the auditor general into the programme showed it may never be fit for purpose. Audit Scotland has highlighted "serious cost and operational issues". The Scottish government said it was focused on paying crofters and farmers before the 30 June deadline. If the system does not meet European Commission regulations by that date, the Scottish government could face a penalty of between £40m and £125m. Under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), about £4.6bn in European and Scottish government funding will be paid out between 2015 and 2020. The money is mainly given to improve agricultural productivity and to ensure farmers have a reliable income. The CAP Futures programme in Scotland was meant to make the rural payment process more efficient. However, in their fourth update on the scheme, auditors said the programme had "serious cost and operational issues", particularly with the slow delivery and poor performance of the new IT system that processes support claims. Audit Scotland said this had caused lengthy delays which have had a negative impact on farmers - many of whom were already experiencing financial difficulties caused by low milk prices and severe flooding. NFU Scotland President Allan Bowie said the report showed how poorly Scottish farmers and crofters had been served. "Far from being 'back on track', the legacy of failure is continuing and this report will guarantee that confidence in the system remains shot," he said. "The first job of our new cabinet secretary must be to get to grips with this debacle and ensure that the system becomes compliant and is fully functional before the money runs out." Fergus Ewing was appointed as the new rural economy secretary in a cabinet reshuffle on Wednesday. Caroline Gardner, Auditor General for Scotland, said the project had faced "serious challenges since the beginning" and had suffered "a number of failures" in the way it had been been managed. She told BBC Scotland: "We found delays in getting the system up and running and the speed at which it does its work means that farmers don't know what their final claim will be. "Around 80% of them have now received an initial payment but 20% haven't received anything yet - and we are heading towards the European Commission's deadline of 30 June for making final payments." Ms Gardner's report also highlights a conflict of interest within the leadership team of the programme, revealed by a BBC investigation in March. BBC Scotland found that a former delivery director of the project, Dominic Prabhu, had supplied dozens of contractors from his own company to work on the programme. His company Spectromax Solutions saw its assets soar last year - from about £81,000 in 2014 to about £3.5m in 2015. Dr Prabhu has denied there was a conflict of interest. Auditors said the Scottish government was aware of a conflict after being notified by a whistleblower and said "there was an opportunity for the delivery director to benefit financially from the programme recruiting from his company". The report added: "The Scottish government set up a resources group in March 2015 to ensure that recruitment decisions were not taken by an individual. "The delivery director was a member of this group, and therefore still had the opportunity to influence recruitment decisions... The delivery director was still able to sign off overtime claims for contractors, including those coming through his agency. "The delivery director should not have been on the resources group and allowed a direct involvement in recruitment decisions." The cost of the programme was originally estimated to cost £102m, but it now has a final budget of £178m and a reduced scope. Scottish Labour demanded that the SNP make an "urgent statement" to parliament about the "catastrophic IT failure", while the Conservatives said the government had "taken their eye off the ball" and failed rural communities. The Scottish Greens said the IT shambles was "inexcusable" given the importance of the industry to Scotland. Deputy First Minister John Swinney told BBC Scotland: "I am a member of parliament that represents rural Scotland. I know the difficulty and the challenges that this has presented for the farming industry." Mr Swinney said the new rural economy secretary, Fergus Ewing, would make a statement to parliament once he had studied the detail of the report. He said: "We are one of the first countries in the EU to pay farming support. "I appreciate there has been slippage of about four months for many of the payments that have been made to farmers, but by the intervention of the first minister and by the working of this system, we have made sure that a comprehensive range of payments have been made to farmers as part of the commitments that we gave." It called the situation an "urgent challenge" and said governments needed to create 600 million jobs over the next decade. The ILO said it was more pessimistic because of the weaker global economy. It added that globally some 1.1 billion people were either unemployed or living in poverty. One bright spot was the ILO's finding that job creation was pushed up by good economic conditions in large emerging economies in Latin America and East Asia. The ILO made its claims in its annual Global Employment Trends report. "Despite strenuous government efforts, the jobs crisis continues unabated, with one in three workers worldwide, or an estimated 1.1bn people, either unemployed or living in poverty," said ILO director-general Juan Somavia. The ILO cited three years of crisis conditions in the global labour market as the reason for its worsening assessment. "Our forecast has become much more pessimistic than last year's, with the possibility of a serious deceleration of the growth rate," said the ILO's senior economist Ekkehard Ernst. In its report, the ILO said that there are 29 million fewer workers in the global labour force than they forecast before the economic slowdown started in 2009. Those 29 million people are referred to as "discouraged workers", or people that have decided to stop looking for work because they think they are unlikely to find a job. If these discouraged workers were counted in the total jobless figures, then that would push the global unemployment rate to 6.9% from 6%, the ILO said. That is about 225 million people worldwide. The ILO also added that young people continue to be among the worst hit by the jobs crisis and that future prospects for them are bleak. "Judging by the present course, there is little hope for a substantial improvement in their near-term employment prospects," the report said. The Corsican club were also given a suspended one-point deduction by a Ligue 1 disciplinary committee. It said the sanctions were imposed for "shouts with racist connotations towards Balotelli, use of pyrotechnic devices and intrusion of supporters". Bastia have banned one fan caught on camera making monkey gestures. Former Manchester City and Liverpool player Balotelli, 26, reported the abuse following the 1-1 draw last month. Afterwards he posted on social media: "Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noises for the whole game and nobody from the 'discipline commission' says anything? "So is racism legal in France? Or only in Bastia? Football is an amazing sport, but people like Bastia supporters make it horrible. Truly a disgrace." Balotelli was sent off for the third time this season as third-placed Nice won 1-0 at bottom club Lorient last weekend. The Boeing 777 disappeared while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board in March 2014. Malaysia, China and Australia are searching a large area of the Southern Ocean, where the plane is believed to have gone down. But without new evidence the search will be suspended later this year. Grace Nathan, whose mother Anne Daisy was on board the plane, said the relatives "just want to know what efforts are being made so new credible information can be found for the search to go on". She said the inconclusive investigation had made it difficult to find closure. "I really have mixed emotions about the whole trip," Ms Nathan told Australia's ABC radio. "I live in denial about what's happened." Some relatives have also accused Malaysian authorities of ignoring possible new evidence washing up along the African coast. Three pieces of aircraft debris were retrieved last month in the waters off Mozambique. The largest piece of debris, a triangular piece of metal, red and white on one side - the colours of Malaysia Airlines - was discovered by a South African hotelier. The debris will be sent to Malaysia for examination. Many relatives of those on board MH370 tell me they are frustrated at the way the search is being handled. They fear that hundreds, maybe thousands of plane parts and personal belongings are sitting, untouched, on remote beaches across the Indian ocean. Yet there's no plan to go and find them. They argue that locals in these hard-to-reach areas, fishermen for example, could be mobilised to look for clues. All you'd have to do is get the word out, advise them what to search for and what to do if they find anything. As things stand just one man, an unpaid American enthusiast called Blaine Gibson, is combing beaches for debris. It's unlikely that small parts will reveal the fate of the flight, but they may offer clues. And as the giant sea search is wound down later this year, the families tell me that looking on beaches may be the only way to get answers and recover precious belongings from the people they love. Their biggest fear is that the search will be dropped, the world will move on, and they'll be left in limbo wondering what happened. Read more: 'Why are they not investigating?' One man's search for answers MH370 'must not go into oblivion' Eight next of kin from several countries arrived in Perth on Tuesday, on a self-funded trip. They will meet representatives of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and will be shown a small fragment of recovered wreckage. The ATSB is co-ordinating the ocean search but Malaysia is responsible for recovering any debris which washes up elsewhere. A report by the Australian newspaper earlier this week suggested the relatives may lobby the Australian government to take over the investigation from Malaysia. Ms Nathan said the families had been frustrated by what they perceive to be the indifference of Malaysian authorities. "They never want to speak to us. The Malaysian mainstream media have been told to stay away from us," she said. The relatives also hope to clarify whether recent discoveries of debris on the African coast counts as credible new evidence, and whether the A$170m (£97m; $130m) search could be continued in a more cost effective way. More than 110,000 sq km (68,000 sq miles) of sea floor have been searched so far. The full 120,000 sq km search is expected to be completed by around December. But one of the Chinese ships has spent more time more time anchored off Western Australia than searching at sea. The Don Hai Jiu has lost its sonar imaging "tow fish" and suffered an injured crewman since it got involved in the search six months ago. The vessel has had its tow fish in the water for fewer than 30 days, say Australia officials. Where some of the confirmed or suspected MH370 debris was found 1.

A confluence of unfortunate circumstances led to a conjoining of the two silver F1 cars, and Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg ended up in the gravel at Turn Four on the first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix, each nursing their own resentment, even if they tried to hide it afterwards. The Mercedes media management system went into overdrive to try to contain the fall-out from the crash that handed the race to Red Bull and ended in the marketing dream of an 18-year-old winning his first grand prix for the team. But the effects of this incident will reverberate through the rest of this already compelling F1 season. The seeds of this incident go right back to another collision between Hamilton and Rosberg in the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix, which itself was an example of pressure building to a point at which it could no longer be contained. After that crash, Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff was apoplectic and made it clear to both drivers that it must never happen again, that their first responsibility was to make sure they go to the end of the race and never endanger the possibility of the team winning. This time, Wolff admitted to being "angry and upset" but the tone was very different. Then, blame was laid squarely on Rosberg's "unacceptable conduct". Now, it was "a very unfortunate racing incident, triggered by various circumstances". In large part, that is a reflection of Wolff's fundamental honesty. In Spa, Rosberg was clearly to blame. In Barcelona on Sunday, it was much less clear-cut. The background, and the fundamental reason for the crash, was that Rosberg has had a clean run of four victories in the first four races of this season, and Hamilton has hit various problems. That meant Rosberg arrived in Spain with a 43-point lead over Hamilton in the championship, and the world champion was determined not to let it get any bigger. Hamilton took an absolutely brilliant pole position, one of his very best, rewriting the boundaries of what was possible in a way that left many in the paddock aghast - including his team-mate. His start was good, but so was Rosberg's, and the German drafted Hamilton down to Turn One and passed him around the outside with a fantastic manoeuvre, the sort he has so rarely been able to pull off. At that moment, as Rosberg admitted later, he felt he was "about to win that race", so difficult is passing on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Hamilton knew it, too, so when he saw Rosberg's engine "de-rating" - running out of hybrid boost indicted by a flashing red light on the back of his car in Turn Three because the German had it on the wrong setting - he saw an opportunity to pounce. Rosberg was a little on the inside of the normal line but Hamilton knew he had to go for the inside, at a closing speed of an extra 17km/h, it was revealed later. Rosberg moved to defend but Hamilton kept coming. TV pictures showed that Hamilton had his front wing alongside Rosberg's rear wheel while both were still on the track. In theory, that means the defending driver has to leave a car's width of space. But Rosberg was coming across so fast that it was all a blur. Hamilton took to the grass, lost control, spun and hit his team-mate going backwards, both then careering into the gravel trap. Listen to Hamilton and Rosberg crash Hamilton said: "I was gaining on him at fairly decent pace and where he positioned the car was a car width to the right of the [racing] line and I had to decide whether to go left or right. "The inside is always what you'd go for; there was a much bigger gap. I had part of my wing and wheel alongside within the white line and then that diminished pretty quickly. "I did what I could to avoid an incident by going on the grass but it all happened pretty quickly. "It wasn't a case of 'the door was closed but I decided to go across the grass'. I saw a gap and went for it and that's what racing drivers do." Rosberg said: "I saw Lewis closing in, so as soon as I could I closed the door to the inside with a clear strong move to make sure he understands there is not going to be space there and I was very surprised that he went for it anyway. That's it. Then we were in the sand trap. "In the end, we have to go with what the experts think and the experts have decided it was a racing incident." Technically, Rosberg had breached article 27.7 of the sporting regulations, which requires the leading driver to leave room if there is a "significant proportion of the car attempting to pass alongside". And, technically, one view could be that Hamilton had caused a collision, which is also against the rules. Another TV still, taken shortly before the one we have already mentioned, showed Hamilton still clearly behind and Rosberg angling steeply to the inside - at which point many might have backed out of it. But the stewards decided not to penalise either driver, a conclusion based on the speed at which circumstances unfolded. Rosberg "defended his position, as is his right," they said. Hamilton "had a portion of his front wing inside [Rosberg] fractions of a second prior to having to leave the track to avoid an initial collision, which may have led him to believe he had the right to space on the right". "Once on the grass, [Hamilton] was no longer in control of the situation." The conclusion was that Rosberg "had the right" to do what he did and Hamilton's "attempt to overtake was reasonable". Now, some might view that as a fudge, especially as Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, right behind, said: "From what I saw, Rosberg didn't give him room but it happened very quickly so I won't say any more." But as Wolff put it: "When we looked at the incident, there are quite some many people in the team with racing experience and an opinion, and it differed between all of us. What I take home is it is an incident that could have been avoided from both sides." Of the two drivers, Rosberg was the one who, judging by appearances, seemed more angry. Do they need clear-the-air talks, he was asked? "It is something I need to think about in the days to come," he replied. "I can't tell you now. I am just extremely gutted because it was my race to win and I am not just gutted for myself." When Hamilton was asked whether it changed the dynamic between him and Rosberg, he replied: "It doesn't change anything. We just keep racing, try to make sure it doesn't happen again." Was the incident triggered because Rosberg had less to lose, given his championship advantage, and Hamilton is under pressure to make up ground? "Subconsciously maybe," Wolff said, "but I am not Dr Freud and it is difficult to judge whether that played a role." Another way of looking at it, though, is that, actually, Hamilton had every bit as much reason not to back down as Rosberg. Yes, a crash maintained Rosberg's points lead. But equally Hamilton had lost the lead, and will have known that the first lap was his best opportunity to pass, and that if they both finished he would lose a further seven points to his team-mate. That is not to suggest that either did anything deliberately to precipitate a collision; it is merely an illustration of the stakes involved. Those stakes have just been raised considerably. Hamilton has less time to close a still considerable gap; Rosberg has made it clear he will not be intimidated. Mercedes have emphasised such a thing must not happen again. But ultimately they are as good as powerless to prevent it. Wolff said he felt further discussions were not necessary, that the "pain" of losing 43 points was "lesson enough". "You can't expect them to be easy about it," Wolff said. "Each will have an opinion. But I am 100% sure it won't influence their relationship negatively going forward." Not everyone will be quite so sure about that. Spanish Grand Prix results Spanish Grand Prix coverage details

In a cloud of dust, a touch of wheels and two broken Formula 1 cars, the pressure that had been building inside Mercedes through the first four races of the season was released.

There have been reports that Tevez, 33, who joined Shanghai from Boca Juniors in December, wanted to leave the club. The ex-Manchester City striker has asked Shanghai to allow him to return home for treatment on a calf injury. Tevez, who signed a two-year contract, has scored twice in 11 games. He is one of the world's highest paid players, earning £634,615 a week, according to the Sun. "According to the request from Carlos Tevez to our club, after discussion, we now approve his request," Shanghai were reported as saying in the South China Morning Post. "He's permitted to go back to Argentina and receive treatment at the Clinica Jorge Bombicino and he must rejoin the team on 30 August and participate in training." During the 2010-11 season, Tevez fled to Argentina for three months following a disagreement with Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini. He lost almost £10m in wages, fines and lost bonuses during the dispute.

Carlos Tevez has been granted permission to go to Argentina, but only after agreeing in writing to return to Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua by 30 August.

A decade of failure for Warwickshire at Twenty20 cricket was all forgotten in the space of one memorable day at Edgbaston as the Birmingham Bears brilliantly put their name on the T20 Blast trophy. The Edgbaston marketing men had good cause to rub their hands, count their pounds and pennies and say "job well done" as the rebranded Bears finally brought home the bacon - and all on home soil too, in front of an adoring capacity 25,000 crowd. "To win in front of your own supporters is incredible," the Bears' England Test star Ian Bell told BBC WM. "Especially here. A full house at Edgbaston is not bettered anywhere in the world." Of course, in reality, it took a lot more than a name change for the Bears to finally enjoy success in a competition that had previously caused them nothing but misery and frustration. A full house at Edgbaston is not bettered anywhere in the world The release of Test players Bell and Chris Woakes was a big factor. So was the chance for the Bears to play on their own ground. This was the sixth time, in 12 seasons of English Twenty20 cricket, that Edgbaston had been chosen to stage Finals Day. But it was the first time the Bears had been able to get there to take advantage. And, as Hampshire showed, when they won on their own track at The Rose Bowl in 2010, home advantage is a massive one in such a raucous, highly-charged atmosphere. But the job still has to be done and the Bears, 7/2 outsiders at the start of the day, made nonsense of the bookies' odds. There were moments when it looked like it might be too tall an order, most notably when this summer's Twenty20 star Jason Roy was motoring nicely for Surrey in the semi-final - and then much later in the day when the great Andrew Flintoff, held back for Lancashire for too long, looked set to write one more cricketing fairytale. Flintoff's two successive sixes in the penultimate over off Oliver Hannon-Dalby, coupled with the very real threat of being penalised six runs for a slow over-rate, appeared to have thrown up one last gigantic twist. "I had the umpire in my ear saying that I had to rush it," Hannon-Dalby told BBC WM. "That just added to the pressure and, when big Fred hit two sixes, it put Woakesie under the pump for the final over, but he handled it." Indeed, the Bears stayed together, stayed calm and they got the job done by doing just as their director of cricket Dougie Brown said they would - by playing well and as a team. It said everything that there were several candidates for man of the match in both their semi-final win over Surrey (who had beaten the Bears in the first final in 2003) and their four-run win in the final against Lancashire. "We knew we were very much the underdogs," Brown told BBC Sport. "But we were actually quietly confident, "We thought there was something written in the stars for us when Nottinghamshire had beaten Yorkshire in the last group stages - and especially when we then won down at Chelmsford against Essex. "We knew we were playing good cricket, but we were quite happy for people to talk us down so we could slip under the radar. "Winning the first game was key, particularly from the start Surrey got. But we kept our shape and held our nerve really well. "As for the final, I don't know if I can sum up my emotions. It was an amazing rollercoaster and at times it was painful watching. "You go from thinking you've got the game in the bag to thinking 'crikey, Freddie Flintoff has just taken it away from us in two blows'. But credit to the guys. Chris Woakes at the end held his nerve, which is probably more than can be said for me. "What a performance by everybody. They all played a part. It's been very much a team effort. "In any tournament, anywhere in the world, you've got to time it well. And we've done just that," added Hannon-Dalby. "We were the form team coming in and we got it right on the day." What next now for the Bears? As far as the name change is concerned, it did court a lot of unpopularity from Warwickshire supporters outside Birmingham. And Bears chief executive Colin Povey admitted in the build-up to Saturday that "it is still very early days for the rebranding of the team name". But maybe Saturday night's success will prove the clincher. For Brown, who inherited a team that had just won the County Championship when Ashley Giles departed for England duty in 2012, there is now the pressure-relieving reward of putting silverware in the trophy room. And, given that Warwickshire are third in the County Championship and face another quarter-final against Essex at Chelmsford in the One-Day Cup, there could yet be more to come. But that is for the future and Brown's parting message to his players on Saturday night clearly had rather more short-term implications. "We are meant to be training at 10am on Tuesday morning," said the Scotsman. "Whatever they do between now and then is up to them, but I expect them to be sober at 10am Tuesday - that's my only order." Tuedon Morgan, 42, said Antarctica, where she has been on two previous trips, was a playground compared to her experience at the North Pole last week: The North Pole was extremely difficult for me: It was so cold, with temperatures of -41 C, and I noticed that my body was losing a lot of energy - it was like the magnetic field was sucking all my energy out. The last 4km (2.5 miles) were the hardest for me - I started to see buildings where I knew that there was nothing there. I didn't have any training for this - I didn't have any snow to train on. In Qatar, where I live, it's the extreme opposite: I wear T-shirts and shorts to run; in the North Pole you have to wear all these different layers. We were 44 competitors from 22 countries and I finished quite late, I was one of the last people to finish. But I compete[d] with myself. I was just singing and praying and when I got to the bend where I could see where other people had planted their flags, I kept saying to myself: "I have to plant the Nigerian flag there; your country's flag has to be there." A South African has done the race; I don't think any other Africans have done it, so for me it was awesome to do that for my country, for Nigeria and for Africa as a whole. As I was leaving, other Nigerians arrived - they had been to the geographical North Pole and they had raised the Nigerian flag there as well. It was awesome. I would do the North Pole again. Right now, sitting here, I'm thinking: "I want to go back to do it again." It all started one day in January 2008, when I woke up and looked myself in the mirror and I said: "I need to change my lifestyle." I would go to bed early and wake up really tired, I weighed 121kg, which is about 266lbs, I was a big girl. I was extremely happy with the way my life was, I never envied any slim person, but I was always breathless. I've got four kids, I could barely do much for them, my bad leg was getting worse, my doctors would give me some injections and would tell me how to lose weight. That day I made up my mind and I said I was going to commit to this, so I got into the gym and I started walking on the treadmill and then I went on the road and I just built up from there. I joined a running club - the first day they wanted to do a 7km run and it took me over two hours - I was the last one to finish but I went back the next day, I just wouldn't give up. For me, losing weight, I wanted to do it as slowly as possible, gradually. I needed to learn to eat. I think my biggest problem was food - I love food and that's why myself and a friend, we've founded a weight-loss group, we've got over 5,000 African women in it, we have a cook book and they can use our menus free of charge. It's been very difficult because I have four boys, I have my husband, I have my job. People say: "I don't have the time" - everyone has the time, you have 24 hours, it's time management. I don't watch TV late at night. I wake up at 03:30 and I go running from 04:00 to 05:30. When I come home, I wake my husband and my kids. So my running time in the morning is my time, I'm not using family time. It's all about compromise. My husband, when I came home yesterday from the North Pole, said: "What's our next challenge?" I have already done 33 marathons - but every race is different. For example, in the North Pole we didn't have spectators. In New York they virtually lift you up your feet, the crowd. London is the same. The message I'm sending out there is always belief in yourself, you have no limits, you can do whatever you want to do. We're the ones who set the boundaries. It might take longer for some but if you're persistent, if you keep knocking, it will happen. Tuedon Morgan was interviewed by Akwasi Sarpong on BBC Focus on Africa on the World Service The 34-year-old played for the Robins from 2006 to 2012, scoring 11 goals in 199 games for the club. Johnson left Oldham in February 2015 to become head coach of the Tykes, who reached the Football League Trophy final by beating Fleetwood on Thursday. Barnsley were 22nd in League One in November after losing eight straight games, but have since climbed to 12th. The news came within hours of Johnson being named the division's Manager of the Month for January, having led the Tykes to five successive league wins. He is the son of Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson, who was in charge at Ashton Gate from 2005 to 2010. "We gave this permission because we believe that the structures that we now have in place must be the key to our future success rather than dependence on a single individual," Barnsley said in a statement on the club website. "If Lee decides to stay with Barnsley Football Club we will be delighted, but if he chooses to move on, we will continue unabated with the plan we have in place." Bristol City have been without a manager since sacking Steve Cotterill on 14 January, with the club sitting in the Championship relegation zone. Former assistant John Pemberton was placed in temporary charge, but has since won only one of his four games in all competitions. Anthony Senecal wrote in a Facebook post that Mr Obama "should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term". Mr Senecal worked for Mr Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, for nearly 30 years. The Trump campaign quickly disavowed Mr Senecal's remarks. "He is not employed by Mr Trump, and hasn't been since June of 2009," Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement. "We strongly condemn these horrible comments from Mr Senecal." Mr Senecal's post, which was not public, was first reported by Mother Jones, but he later confirmed its authenticity to several news organisations. Later on Thursday, Mr Senecal, 84, told CNN that Mr Obama should be "hung" outside the White House. He also called the White House the "White Mosque". The New York Times profiled Mr Senecal in March, saying despite retiring in 2009 he has stayed at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as "a kind of unofficial historian". "He understands Mr Trump's sleeping patterns and how he likes his steak ("It would rock on the plate, it was so well done"), and how Mr Trump insists - despite the hair salon on the premises - on doing his own hair," the profile read. Kvitova, 27, was stabbed by an intruder in Prostejov in the Czech Republic. Doctors had said the 2011 and 2014 Wimbledon champion would be unable to compete for at least six months. "Petra's recovery is continuing as planned, but everything is up in the air as to her return," her spokesman, Karel Tejkal, told AFP. Tejkal said Kvitova's psychological recovery had been "very encouraging" and that she had been fitness training in the Canary Islands. "Petra uses her hand without problem for daily activities. Of course, the hand is weakened but at first glance you can't see that she was injured," he added. "But at the moment no-one can give a concrete date." The organisation hijacked prominent social media accounts and defaced and blocked access to websites. Two of the men are also accused of extortion. One of the suspects - Peter Romar - has already been arrested in Germany. The US Department of Justice says it believes the other two - Ahmad Umar Agha and Firas Dardar - are in Syria. The FBI has offered a reward of $100,000 (£70,500) for information that leads to their arrests. First reports of actions by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) came in 2011. The hackers claimed to be acting in support of President Bashar al-Assad saying they sought to counter "fabricated news" broadcast by Arab and Western media. Agha - aged 22 - is alleged to be the identity of a member who used the nickname The Pro, and Dardar - aged 27 - is said to be The Shadow. Officials say the two sent spoof emails that fooled people into revealing work log-in details. "Agha and Dardar would allegedly use stolen usernames and passwords to deface websites, redirect domains to sites controlled or utilised by the conspiracy, steal email and hijack social media accounts," said a DoJ statement. "In April 2013, a member of the conspiracy compromised the Twitter account of a prominent media organisation [Associated Press] and released a tweet claiming that a bomb had exploded at the White House and injured the president. "In a later 2013 intrusion, through a third-party vendor, the conspirators gained control over a recruiting website for the US Marine Corps and posted a defacement encouraging US marines to refuse [their] orders." Other victims are said to have included: The BBC also had some of its Twitter accounts hijacked by the SEA in 2013, but this is not referred to in the complaint. Dardar and Romar are also accused of hacking into businesses' computer systems for personal profit. "The pair would hack into the victims' computers and then threaten to damage computers, and delete or sell the data unless they were paid a ransom," said the FBI. The targeted companies are not named, but the DoJ said one was a UK-based web hosting company and another an international online entertainment service. In at least one instance, Dardar is said to have used his involvement with the SEA as a way to have "instilled fear" in his targets in order to extort funds. The US authorities said they had confirmed the two men's involvement by using court-authorised search warrants to obtain access to Gmail and Facebook accounts they had used as part of their scams. "The allegations in the complaint demonstrate that the line between ordinary criminal hackers and potential security threats is increasingly blurry," commented John Carlin, the US's assistant attorney general for national security.

Initially, Uber said it would continue regardless but then decided to stop the trials a week after they had begun. If granted, the $150 (£120) permit would allow the firm to restart tests. "We are taking steps to complete our application to apply for a DMV [Department of Motor Vehicles] testing permit," an Uber spokeswoman said in a statement. "Uber remains 100% committed to California." The permit application has yet to be filed but two manually driven modified cars are already on the road, according to the Reuters news agency. While the self-driving vehicles were briefly available in San Francisco last year, they were occasionally offered to Uber passengers via the company's ride-hailing app. A driver was present in the vehicles and able to intervene as a safety precaution, the company said at the time. An engineer was also present in the passenger seat. However, criticism was levelled at the company after a video emerged of one of its modified Volvos apparently going through a red light during the December tests. At the time, regulators pointed out that more than 20 other companies, including Google and Ford, tested their self-driving vehicles with a permit. Uber has also performed self-driving car tests in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - where no permit is required. They met in at Farmleigh House in Dublin on the second day of Mr Trudeau's three-day visit to the Republic of Ireland. The Canadian premier is in Europe ahead of a key G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany later in the week. Mr Trudeau is the taoiseach's first international visitor. He said CETA-EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Economic - had more "upsides than downsides" and both Ireland and Canada were committed to free trade. He said it will deliver stronger economic growth and create more well-paid jobs on both sides of the Atlantic and said Canada is looking forward to the agreement coming into force. He also said that he encouraged the taoiseach to get more women to run for political office. Mr Trudeau's cabinet has 15 women and 15 men in it. Both leaders spoke about the benefits of migration and said countries do best when open to the world. Mr Varadkar said both Ireland and Canada had neighbours who were going in "different directions". The Canada-EU trade deal and Brexit will be high on the agenda at the G20 summit in Germany. Trade unions, farmers and environmental groups are concerned about the deal. It proposes a significant reduction of trade tariffs between the EU and Canada, and officials hope it will generate an increase in trade worth $12bn (€10.9bn; £9.8bn) a year. The European Parliament needs the approval of member states' national parliaments before the trade deal can fully come into effect. Mr Trudeau arrived in Dublin with his wife, Sophie Grégoire, and their youngest son, Hadrien, on Monday. He thanked the taoiseach for the "warm welcome" he and his family had received. Mr Trudeau also paid tribute to "the great friendship that has existed between Canada and Ireland over the decades and generations". Mr Varadkar said they had a good meeting on Tuesday morning and spoke of the shared interests between the two countries. The Canadian prime minister was due to attend a business lunch and visit famine memorial statues in the city centre before a state dinner hosted by Mr Varadkar. The visit was arranged in May when Mr Varadkar's predecessor, Enda Kenny, met the Canadian leader in Montreal. Carbon dating revealed the remains, discovered at Beckery Chapel, near Glastonbury, were from the 5th or early 6th Century AD. Site director Dr Richard Brunning said: "It's the earliest archaeological evidence we've got for monasticism." Beckery was excavated in May by the South West Heritage Trust. For more archaeology stories follow our Pinterest board The remains of seven individuals unearthed in May were radiocarbon dated. When the site was originally excavated by Philip Rahtz in the 1960s some 50 to 60 skeletons were found. Most of them were adult male, apart from two juveniles thought to be novice monks. A female skeleton is believed to have been a visiting nun or patron. Mr Brunning said the balance of male and female remains and the new scientific evidence meant there was little doubt the burial ground had been a monastic cemetery. It predates Iona Abbey in Scotland, founded in the late 6th Century, and nearby Glastonbury Abbey, which dates from the 7th Century. The earliest monks died in the 5th or early 6th centuries AD with burials taking place at Beckery until the early 9th Century AD. "It would have been very small, we're only talking about a small number of monks there at any one time, effectively it's like a large hermitage", explained Mr Brunning. "It's on a small island just off Glastonbury so it's surrounded by the wetlands and cut off from normal life, that's probably why it's based there. "There are a few rudimentary buildings made of wattle and daub, so nothing grand made of stone." Further tests are planned to establish if the inhabitants were local or came from further afield. Experts believe use of the site ended when the Vikings invaded later in the 9th Century AD and attacked Somerset. The chapel is connected to legendary visits by mythical King Arthur, who is said to have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus there. Arthur, as a 5th Century military commander leading the Britons into battle against the invading Saxons, has proved impossible for historians to verify. The only contemporary source, The Ruin and Conquest of Britain by the British monk and historian Gildas (c.500-70), does not mention Arthur at all. Some scholars have suggested that Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Romano-British war hero described by the the 6th Century historian Gildas, may have been the real Arthur. Others have suggested that Lucius Artorius Castus, a 2nd or 3rd Century Roman military commander, may have formed the basis of the Arthurian myth. However, historians such as Michael Wood believe Arthur was an amalgam of heroic figures from Celtic mythology - a basis that has, nonetheless, barely dented his continued legacy. The slaughter involved six farms, following the discovery of a virus in the village of Biddinghuizen, some 70km (43 miles) east of Amsterdam. Outbreaks of the highly contagious H5N8 strain have been reported in Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Finland. The Dutch authorities have not said which strain is involved. Officials said they were checking for bird flu at farms within three kilometres of the original site and imposed a ban on transporting poultry products within a 10km (six mile) radius. Avian influenza - bird flu - is an infectious disease of poultry and wild birds. The H5N8 strain first appeared in South Korea in early 2014. The virus later spread to Japan, North America and Europe, causing outbreaks at poultry farms between autumn 2014 and spring 2015. Last month, scientists said that monitoring birds on their long distance migrations could provide early warning of bird flu outbreaks. Researchers said bird flu was carried by migrating birds from Asia to Europe and North America via the Arctic. Contact with infected wild birds or materials contaminated with their droppings was the most likely route of transmission. Most avian influenza viruses do not infect humans. However, hundreds have been killed by the H5N1 virus, mostly as a result of direct or indirect contact with infected live or dead poultry. There is no evidence that the disease can be spread to people through properly cooked food. So far, no human cases of H5N8 infection have been detected. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that human infection with the H5N8 virus cannot be excluded, although the likelihood is low, based on the "limited information" at its disposal. The WHO advises: The Bombay High Court said the government had to protect this right. The ruling was made in response to a petition filed by an activist against the centuries-old tradition of barring women from certain temples. In January, hundreds of women in the state were stopped from marching to a temple traditionally open only to men. Protests by a group called the Bhumata Ranragini Brigade (Women Warriors of Mother Earth) have seen crowds of women regularly trying to "break into" temples for the "right to pray" in the state. The Maharashtra government has promised to implement the ruling, and said any person attempting to prevent women from entering any temple would be imprisoned for six months, the PTI news agency said. A report by the House of Lords European Union Committee says 15m tonnes of food is wasted in the UK each year. Retailers are also told to behave more responsibly with farmers and avoid cancelling orders at the last minute. However, the British Retail Consortium said the report "had not appreciated what is already happening". In the report, the peers also criticised the EU's "fragmented and untargeted" attempts to tackle the problem. More surplus food should be passed to charities and food banks, the committee said. The report said retailers were able to "pass on" food waste "from the store to the household" by the use of special offers such as "buy one get one free". "It is clear that retailers must assume a far greater responsibility for the prevention of food waste in the home", it said. Committee chairwoman Baroness Scott of Needham Market said food waste was "clearly a huge issue" in the UK and Europe. She said: "Not only is it morally repugnant, but it has serious economic and environmental implications. "The fact that 90m tonnes of food is wasted across the EU each year shows the extent of the problem and explains why we are calling for urgent action." Their demands include a five-year plan by the European Commission to reduce waste across the EU. The amount of food discarded by consumers in industrialised nations is equivalent to nearly the entire level of net food production of sub-Saharan Africa, the committee said. Its report said more education was needed for consumers after peers were told only 37% of people knew the difference between "best before" and "use by" dates on food packaging. Food can still be sold after its best-before date, while a use-by date is used on "highly perishable" products likely to become dangerous after a short period of time. Lady Scott added: "There is also much that can be done domestically, and in particular by the big retailers, to reduce food waste. "We are urging the supermarkets to look again at offers such as 'buy one get one free', which can encourage excess consumption which leads to food waste." Oxfam's head of policy Mark Lawson suggested that the supermarkets' pricing policy was a big part of the problem. "You've got this crazy system where some of the food is being given away and then often ends up getting wasted and the rest of the food is far too expensive," he told BBC 5 live. The report also expressed "concern" about a cut to government funding supporting the work of the UK's Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap). "There is a high risk of false economy if the cuts to Wrap's funding to support food waste prevention ultimately lead to resource inefficiency in terms of economic costs to businesses and households," it said. Retail expert John Pal said the big four supermarkets were losing customers because of their complicated deals. "What we are seeing is a bit of a change in consumers' purchasing patterns. They are getting a little bit fed up with this and we are seeing a shift from the big four supermarkets with the consumers voting with their feet and going to the Aldis and the Lidls," he said. In response to the report, the British Retail Consortium said: "The government's own research body has concluded there is no evidence that promotions increase food waste. "It is also worth remembering all major retailers are working to challenging government targets to cut food waste. "Cutting food waste is a key sustainability issue but we need to focus on evidence based policy rather than being distracted by perception." Denis Pitner was originally banned for a year in August for passing on details about a player's fitness and accessing an account used for betting. But a United States Tennis Association error meant he was able to work at Flushing Meadows for the 2015 event. Pitner's suspension will run until 19 April 2026. The ban covers any officiating at Grand Slam tournaments and events organised or sanctioned by the ATP, WTA and ITF. The suspension of Pitner and a life ban for Kazakh umpire Kirill Parfenov were revealed following a Guardian investigation earlier this year. Despite his original ban, Pitner also successfully applied to work at the Qatar Open in Doha in January. The International Tennis Federation also revealed he applied to work at this year's Wimbledon Championships. The Louisa sank on 9 April as it lay at anchor in calm seas off Mingulay in the Western Isles. The bodies of two crew members have been found. The skipper is still missing and presumed dead. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said salvaging the boat would aid its investigation. The crabber is being taken to a dock on Clydebank. The bodies of Chris Morrison, 27, from Harris, and Martin Johnstone, 29, from Halkirk, Caithness, were found following the sinking. Skipper Paul Alliston, 42, from Lewis, remains missing despite a massive search. Only Lachlann Armstrong, 27, from Stornoway, Lewis, survived after swimming ashore. Darren Sharper, who played for the New Orleans Saints, received double the sentence recommended by prosecutors. The 40-year-old was accused of drugging women in order to rape them. "I would like to apologise a thousand times,'' he said at the sentencing hearing. "I'm still trying to figure out why I made some of these choices." His voice quivered as he expressed his regret directly to his parents. But one of his victims, the only one who spoke at the hearing, attacked him. "For the list of people you've done this to - go to hell,'' she said. In a 14-year NFL career which ended in 2011, Sharper also played for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. He played in the Super Bowl in 2010 for the winning Saints, as well as an earlier Super Bowl appearance for the Packers. US District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo, in sentencing Sharper, said: "We can never ignore the damage you inflicted on those women and society at large." The former footballer had pleaded guilty in federal court in New Orleans to drugging three women so he could rape them. He had also pleaded guilty to or not contested charges in state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada arising from allegations that he drugged and raped women. The victim who spoke in court told him that he kept drugging and raping women in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, even after he knew she was telling investigators about the allegations. She accused him of giving her and the judicial system "the big middle finger because you thought we weren't capable of stopping you". According to Sharper's plea agreement, he or his friend Brandon Licciardi put anti-anxiety drugs or sedatives into women's drinks so they could rape them. Licciardi will be sentenced on 13 October along with a second defendant Erik Nunez. Centre Johnny Williams and fly-half Theo Brophy Clews, both 19, have stood tall alongside more experienced team-mates. And after a steep learning curve following their respective Premiership debuts, the focus for the pair now shifts to international duty with the England Under-20 squad at the World Rugby Championship in Manchester next month. Reading-born Williams burst on the scene in an Irish shirt back in November and made an immediate impact. Five tries in his first three senior appearances, including a Premiership debut double against Wasps at Twickenham, made him almost one of the first names on head coach Tom Coventry's teamsheet from then on. But the inside centre, who started the season dual registered with Henley Hawks, admitted experiencing just four Premiership wins and the relegation that followed was "a tough pill to swallow". "Personally, I try to take the positives out of everything," he told BBC Sport. "At the end of the day, you have to look at it and say we'll go down to the Championship and gain confidence from winning a few games. "We'll learn a lot from this experience as young players and hopefully we'll look back on it as something that has made us better players." A strong finish to his debut season saw Williams grab another try against Wasps to take his Premiership tally to four. Opportunity came the way of Brophy Clews, another product of the Exiles' academy, when injuries sidelined fellow fly-halves Chris Noakes and Shane Geraghty. Withdrawn from the England U20 squad for this season's Six Nations, the Oxford-born teenager was thrown in at the deep end for his full Premiership debut against a high-flying Exeter side in February. "It didn't just surprise me, it shocked me," he said. "In terms of physically, mentally and tactically. "You get used to the pace of the game fairly quickly, the physicality takes a bit longer. The tactical element, certainly in my position, that's what I've learnt most this year. "You can't just play all the time. You've got to take the game into your own hands at times and put the other side under more pressure." Playing alongside a friend in Williams has been a great boost for Brophy Clews. "We joked at the start of the season that it would be great to play together," he added. "We've come up through the age groups together since we were pretty young. "He's played really well this season, but it's been great to learn together playing relatively the same position. "I can always rely on him to give me the ball if he's under pressure on the field and let him get smashed." In a season of such great disappointment for Irish, the emergence of Williams and Brophy Clews has led to an optimistic belief that the best way to bring about a return to the top flight is to give youth its head. Head coach Tom Coventry believes the pair will make a big impression on the Championship next season. "They've been marvellous and they've proved they can step up to the mark," the New Zealander said. "I think we're going to see some massive growth from those boys next year. They'll get the chance to develop, hopefully with some wins under their belts. "These boys will take all the benefit of this year's blooding in the Premiership into the Championship. "We're all hoping for bigger and better things from them as well as some of the other academy members who helped win the Premiership Shield this season." Once Johnny and Theo have given their growing bodies time to recover, they will take their place in a 28-man England squad for the Under-20 World Championship which includes more of this season's breakthrough names. Northampton back Harry Mallinder, Harlequins winger Joe Marchant and Gloucester centre Ollie Thorley have all displayed Premiership potential this year. But Italy, Scotland and Australia will provide stiff opposition in Pool B as Martin Haag's side kick-off their tournament on 7 June at the Manchester City Academy Stadium. "It's great the tournament's in this country, so they'll be a lot more home support than usual," Brophy Clews said. "It's a great opportunity to bond with a new group of players and have a new challenge to focus on. "People like Harry Mallinder and Joe Marchant are players I've been involved with in the age groups before, so it's good to see them and learn a lot from their experiences in the Premiership this season." Williams also plans to share the lessons learns from 17 Premiership appearances this season have taught him. "I'm really looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to impress people and coaches," he added. "It's a big stage for age-grade rugby, so the new environment, new training facilities and new squad are something I can't wait for." 15 January 2015 Last updated at 14:23 GMT In Harbin some of the world's most amazing ice sculptures go on display every year. The festival started in 1963 and is the largest annual winter festival of its kind attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. Amongst the impressive ice sculptures, this year multicoloured ice slides have become a real hit with tourists. Watch Hayley's report to see a slider's-eye view of the chilly fun! Read more: Pictures: China's amazing ice festival Theresa May asked the home affairs committee to put forward three names of possible candidates after the two women appointed to run the inquiry resigned. Mrs May said she was seeking views in a process of consultation. But committee chair Keith Vaz called the request "inappropriate", saying Mrs May herself should identify a nominee. Mrs May announced the independent inquiry in July, to look at how public bodies dealt with historic allegations of child sex abuse. The first chairwoman, Baroness Butler-Sloss, stood down within days, and her replacement, Fiona Woolf, resigned last month after victims of abuse questioned their links to figures involved in an investigation into allegations from the 1980s. Mrs May apologised to victims and told the House of Commons that her department was compiling a list of new candidates. She also agreed to allow the cross-party Home Affairs Committee to vet the new nominee before they are officially appointed. The BBC has seen a letter, written by Mrs May on 5 November, to Mr Vaz in which she restated her intention to "consult with survivors' groups and relevant parliamentarians". In the letter, she also wrote: "As part of this process, I should be most grateful if you and your committee members would like to suggest perhaps three individuals as candidates for the role of chair." In his reply a week later, Mr Vaz said it would be "totally inappropriate for us to make any such suggestions". The Labour MP added: "The best way to proceed would be for you to identify a suitable nominee as you suggested in your phone call to me, and for us to conduct a pre-appointment hearing in the usual way." In a statement, the Home Office said: "It is important that we find a candidate who can win the confidence of survivors and has the necessary expertise to carry out this vital and demanding role. The home secretary is currently seeking the views of survivors' groups and parliamentarians. "Nominations can also be made through the inquiry's website." 1 July - MP Simon Danczuk calls on former Home Secretary Leon Brittan to say what he knew about paedophile allegations passed to him in the 1980s 7 July - Government announces independent inquiry into the way public bodies investigated and handled child sex abuse claims.

But what will this money do for Latin America? The Inter-American Development Bank says Latin America is the next global bread basket. With a third of the world's fresh water resources and more than a quarter of its good quality farmland, this region has everything China needs. China's growth in the past decade and its insatiable appetite for commodities has seen resource-rich countries like Brazil prosper. Latin America's largest economy is now the world's biggest exporter of foodstuffs like sugar cane, orange juice and soybean. Much of it is destined for Asia. It sounds good but superlatives can be deceiving. "Away from raw materials, Latin America doesn't know what to export to China," says Enrique Dussel Peters who heads the China-Mexico Studies Centre at Mexico's National Autonomous University. "There's no strategic relationship, no programme in the short, medium or long term to overcome these problems." While China buys commodities, it exports manufacturing and lots of it. In 2000, bilateral trade between China and Latin America was worth $12bn. In 2013, that figure had risen to $289bn. "The imbalanced South American commodity-for-manufactures relationship with China has long caused some in the region to worry about a repeat of historical raw material 'dependency' relations," says Matt Ferchen who is a resident scholar at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy. While that leaves commodity-rich countries vulnerable when China's growth slows, countries further north have a slightly different relationship. "In Mexico, the anxiety has been more focused on the trade imbalance and the challenge posed by China's manufacturing and export prowess to the American market," says Mr Ferchen. In 2014, for every product Mexico exported to China, it imported 11 times that from the Asian giant. "China has not only been a competitor, but an outright winner," says Prof Adrian Hearn, from the University of Melbourne. "China is able to out-price and outcompete Mexican businesses in just about every sector." In late May, Li Keqiang, the Chinese prime minister, visited Brazil and announced $50bn of investments. Here in Mexico since 2013, promises have been made to invest in Mexico too. But the results have not been fruitful. "There was political commitment by both presidents," says Mr Peters. "But what happens is that the civil servants below them haven't known how to implement the strategies and policies of their respective presidents." In November 2014, President Enrique Pena Nieto cancelled a high-speed rail project shortly after it was awarded because of controversy in the bidding process. It was just a few days short of a state visit to China. "That really hurt things," says Margaret Myers, the director of the China and Latin America Programme at the Inter-American Dialogue in Washington. "There was a real momentum and that then kind of put the brakes on." There is still a great deal of caution over investments from Chinese companies. "There's no doubt that China is held under a magnifying glass when operating in Latin America," says Ms Myers. Despite significant Chinese immigrant communities in countries including Mexico, Cuba and Peru, culturally and geographically, China and Latin America have shown themselves to be worlds apart. "The cultural divide seems deep with both simplistic and unhelpful stereotypes dominating on both sides," says Matt Ferchen. "In Latin America, as elsewhere, Chinese officials want badly for China's soft power to help leverage China's commercial and diplomatic ties to the region, but so far such efforts seem to have had a minimal effect or to have been completely offset by local stereotypes or outright bias." In a region where US influence has often been resented politically, although welcomed economically, the future could look very different with more Chinese investment. "Until now, both Chinese and American officials deny that they are competing for influence in Latin America," says Antonio C Hsiang who is the director of the Centre for Latin American Economy and Trade Studies at Chihlee Institute of Technology in Taiwan. "But that is what it looks like. Let us wait and see how much deeper China can dive into Latin America." He promised two years of "tough negotiation", when discussions on leaving terms get under way between the government and the European Union. Exit will not come "at a discount or at zero cost", he said in a speech to the Belgian Federal Parliament. Reports suggest the UK could have to pay the EU up to 60 billion euros (£51bn) after Brexit talks start. Mr Juncker's comments came as the House of Lords held a second day of discussion of the government's European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, which, if passed into law, will allow Prime Minister Theresa May to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, allowing formal talks with the EU to start. She is hoping to do this before the end of March, with EU negotiations expected to take up to two years. Discussions are taking place in Brussels on the size of the bill to be presented to Mrs May when she launches the talks. The amount will cover the UK's share of the cost of projects and programmes it signed up to as a member, as well as pensions for EU officials. In his speech, Mr Juncker, a former prime minister of Luxembourg, said: "It will be a tough negotiation which will take two years to agree on the exit terms. And to agree on the future architecture of relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union we will need years. "The British people have to know, they know already, that it will not be at a discount or at zero cost. The British must respect commitments they were involved in making. So the bill will be, to put it a bit crudely, very hefty." Unpicking 43 years of treaties and agreements covering thousands of different subjects was never going to be a straightforward task. It is further complicated by the fact that it has never been done before and negotiators will, to some extent, be making it up as they go along. The post-Brexit trade deal is likely to be the most complex part of the negotiation because it needs the unanimous approval of more than 30 national and regional parliaments across Europe, some of whom may want to hold referendums. All you need to know about Brexit He added: "We need to settle our affairs not with our hearts full of a feeling of hostility, but with the knowledge that the continent owes a lot to the UK. Without Churchill, we would not be here - we mustn't forget that, but we mustn't be naive. "Our British friends will need to understand that we want to continue to develop European integration." Mrs May has already said the UK will leave the European single market, but has promised to push for the "freest possible trade" with European countries. In a speech in January outlining her priorities for Brexit, she warned the EU that to "punish" the UK for leaving would be "an act of calamitous self-harm". Earlier this month, the House of Commons overwhelmingly backed the EU Bill and the government has said the Lords must not "frustrate" its passage into law. The picture featured the star over a picture of Hillary Clinton, with a text reading "Most corrupt candidate ever!" and a background of $100 bills. Mr Trump has deleted the message. The Mic website reports the image first appeared on a message board known for anti-Semitism and white supremacy. Mr Trump's post, published on Saturday, prompted strong reaction on social media and accusations of anti-Semitism. The Star of David is a Jewish symbol. It was used by the Nazis to identify Jews. It is also featured on the Israeli flag. The billionaire deleted the picture and posted another image, with a circle covering the star, though tips of it were still visible. The Mic report said the page at the forum where the picture was originally posted no longer exists. It also said the message linked to a Twitter account where the same picture had been posted. It has since been deleted, but the website posted a picture of the original tweet. Mr Trump and his campaign have not commented on the case. Some social media users defended the tweet, saying the six-pointed star is a symbol used by sheriff's departments and that it is a graphic form widely available on computer programs. Nevertheless, the tweet attracted heavy criticism. Jonathan Greenblatt, from the Anti-Defamation League, said it was "long overdue" for Mr Trump to "step up, speak out and shut it down". And Mrs Clinton's spokesman Josh Schwerin said on Twitter: "Why is there a Star of David?" It is not the first time that Mr Trump has been criticised for racist and anti-Semitic messages. He has already reposted comments made by supremacist groups on social media. Earlier this year, he was criticised on his failure to disavow David Duke, a leader of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan, who endorsed him. He later said he had on several occasions in the past disavowed Mr Duke. Critics also point to his divisive remarks, especially about Muslims and immigrants. But the incidents do not appear to cause him damage among his supporters, analysts say. Priaulx, who won three successive world touring car titles, left BMW after 13 years last month to join the Ford Chip Ganassi Racing team. "The car, from a sporting angle, is going to make history," Priaulx told BBC Radio Guernsey. "There's no compromise, we're here to win, whatever it takes." The 41-year-old will join Marino Franchitti, Stefan Mücke and Olivier Pla on Ford's team for the World Endurance Championship, which was won by Mark Webber and Porsche in November. He will make his debut for the team at the opening round at Silverstone in April, but says his focus is round three at the iconic Le Mans 24-hour race. "It's the big one of the year," Priaulx said. "Fifty years ago Ford won it and not only did they win it, but they scored first, second and third "I think everything at the moment focuses on Le Mans and once we've got Le Mans out of the way then, of course, we can focus on the rest of the season. "We've got a couple of races before Le Mans and I think this car is good enough and has the potential to make history." The writer told Radio 4 she would like to see what the response would had been had the roles been reversed. "I want to see two things - one, a white teenager shot in the back by a cop running away," she told Front Row. "Or a white man stands in a doorway, tries to pick out his key and is shot 44 times by police," said the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "Now, when that happens, we'll know something about race." Unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was killed by a white police officer last year in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury declined to charge the officer with murder, sparking protests across the country. Last week, protesters across the US marched against police killings following two high-profile cases in a week of white officers killing unarmed black men. Walter Scott, a 50-year-old, was shot in the back and killed in South Carolina. Eric Harris, 44, was shot and killed when a 73-year-old reserve deputy said he accidently drew his gun instead of a Taser. There have been several other controversial cases in recent months. Morrison, 84, was speaking to Radio 4 about her new novel, God Help the Child, which is published on Tuesday. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. Her novels include Sula, Song of Solomon, Beloved, and, most recently, A Mercy. She has also received the National Book Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize for her fiction. The interview can be heard in full on Front Row from 1915 BST. The child, Julia, vanished on Friday and was found lying in marshes several kilometres from her house on Saturday morning, with the dog by her side. She is now in hospital in western Poland, suffering from frostbite after temperatures fell to -5C (23F). Firefighter Grzegorz Szymanski said the dog kept the child warm enough to live. "For the whole night the animal was with the girl, it never left her. Remember, it was 5 degrees below zero and the child was wet," he said, adding that the animal was the most important factor in the girl's survival. More than 200 people had searched for the child overnight. It is thought she spent hours wandering through the forest near her home in the village of Pierzwin. Her parents had last seen the three-year-old playing in the backyard with the small black mongrel. She was eventually discovered by firefighters after she was heard crying for her mother. Senior conservative clerics denounced Faezeh Hashemi following her meeting with Fariba Kamalabadi, a mother-of-three who was temporarily released and allowed home to see her newborn grandchild. Iran's religious establishment regards the Bahai faith, which emerged in Iran in the 19th Century, as a heretical sect. Bahais, who number approximately 300,000 in Iran (and some six million worldwide, they say), are often denounced as unclean and accused of being agents of the US and Israel. In response to the criticism of Ms Hashemi's visit and calls for her to be prosecuted, her father issued a terse public reprimand saying she had made a big mistake that had to be rectified. He described the Bahai faith as "a deviant sect", which "we disavow and have always done". Observers say Mr Rafsanjani might have come under pressure to act. While the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has not commented publicly on the issue, his website this week reposted a fatwa, or legal ruling, denouncing Bahais as unclean. It is not the first time Faezeh Hashemi has been at the centre of controversy. The former MP and women's magazine editor spent six months in prison in 2012 after being found guilty of making "propaganda against the system" for her role in the mass protests that followed the disputed presidential election of 2009. Hardliners have long used Ms Hashemi's alleged misdeeds to undermine her father, who is a leading moderate voice in Iran. It was during her time in jail that Ms Hashemi met Ms Kamalabadi, one of seven Bahai community leaders arrested in 2008 and handed 20-year sentences in 2010 after being convicted on charges including "espionage for Israel", "insulting religious sanctities" and "propaganda against the system." Human rights activists said the charges against the seven - who had formed an ad hoc national administrative group for Bahais called the Yaran - were baseless. Other former cellmates of Ms Kamalabadi also took the opportunity to visit her during her brief time back home this week, including the noted human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh. But it was only when pictures emerged on social media of Ms Hashemi, a woman from a family at the heart of the ruling establishment, sitting at home with Ms Kamalabadi and other Bahais, that the controversy erupted. Ms Hashemi herself has been unrepentant. She said her time in prison with Ms Kamalabadi had opened her eyes to the Bahais, who she believed should be accorded full civil and human rights. "Of course, we form bonds with fellow human beings during the course of our lives, even if they do not belong to our religion," she said, arguing the clerics' treatment of Bahais was contrary to the teachings of Islam. "If they [conservatives] were concerned with religion, they wouldn't commit so much injustice in [the] name of religion." The Iranian authorities deny that the country's Bahais, whose faith is not recognised by the constitution, suffer discrimination. However, Bahai children are denied entry to universities, and Bahai business owners complain of regular harassment by the authorities. There have been many attacks on Bahai cemeteries across the country. One cleric even went on state television recently to say Bahais who died should be collected and disposed of by the municipal authorities. Ms Kamalabadi has now returned to jail, but there are signs that attitudes among many Iranians who previously had ignored the treatment of Bahais in their midst may be changing. While hardline newspapers and websites castigated Ms Hashemi for her meeting, many Iranians took to social media this week to praise her for highlighting the plight of the Bahais. Four people have been jailed and the government said more were progressing through the courts. Psychoactive substances, which produce highs similar to cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy, were banned at the end of May. A total of 332 shops have stopped selling legal highs and 31 selling drugs paraphernalia have closed down. Of the 492 people arrested in the UK since the legislation took effect, it is not known how many have been charged with an offence. Home Office minister Sarah Newton said: "We banned new psychoactive substances because they are not safe, they can devastate lives and we will not tolerate them in this country. "At the same time as supporting law enforcement in tackling the supply of illegal drugs we are also taking action to prevent the harms caused by their use, from educating young people about the risks to helping dependent individuals through treatment." Commander Simon Bray, of the National Police Chiefs' Council, said the Psychoactive Substances Act had "fundamentally changed the way the police tackle the supply and distribution of these dangerous drugs". The Home Office said new psychoactive substances were involved in 204 deaths in the UK in 2015, an increase from 163 the previous year. The authority said it had "little choice" but to consider the rise which will result in an extra £55 a year for a band D property. Children's Services will lose £8.9m and 51 jobs will go under the proposals. The city council said it has a funding shortfall of £54m due to government cuts and rising costs. However, Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council, said the "headline savings figure this time round is smaller, mostly due to our prudent planning" and the dividend from its shareholding in Manchester Airport Group. He said devolution was "not a magic bullet" and it would still have funding challenges. Sir Richard said it would allow the authority "greater control" to help "support better integrating services" which would help people become "more independent and less reliant on the most expensive public services". The plans will be considered at a scrutiny meeting and an executive meeting before a final budget is set in March. The 21-year-old triumphed 16-15 as his Swedish opponent, 26, missed the final target of a high-quality final to finish with the silver medal.

To understand why this view is so strongly held, you have to grasp the scale of Chinese investment in the UK. There is a long list of British brands and companies that now have Chinese backers: Weetabix, House of Fraser, MG cars, London taxi cabs, Heathrow and Manchester airports. And the UK has become the second most popular destination for Chinese investment in Europe, second only to Italy. Many investors worry that those economic ties will be damaged if Brexit occurs. John Zai is one of them. Originally from Shanghai, he heads Cocoon Networks, a venture capital group that plans to invest in tech companies in Europe, primarily in the UK. It's just signed a 10-year lease on the former London Stock Exchange and aims to transform it into Europe's largest tech innovation centre. "If we can combine the European technology and the ideas with the Chinese money, the Chinese capital, it's going to be crazy," he enthuses. But those plans could all change if the UK votes to leave the EU. "It's going to probably cause a lot of problems, because Cocoon is a platform bridge between China and Europe. "It's China and Europe, not China and the UK or China and London. "Tech companies are really dependent on talent," he says. "If the UK leaves the EU, all this different talent from the EU, from all these different countries, they're going to be gone. "People are always talking about how London is going to become a Silicon Valley but without all this talent, it's not going to happen." Many hope the UK's economy will flourish because of the close relationship between London and Beijing. Deals worth more than £40bn ($56bn) were signed when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the UK last October. During that visit, Mr Xi made his views clear: China supports a "united EU". "China definitely wants to sell more Chinese products into the European market, but they'd better do it from the eurozone really," says Philippe Le Corre, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. London would be less attractive to investors if it could offer only the UK market of 65 million people, rather than the 500 million across the EU, he says. "London would not lose its role as trader of renminbi but in terms of consumer products, big industries, even tourism, I believe London would be affected." But it's not all about money. How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU. For Mr Xi, the EU referendum also carries political concerns. During his time in power, over almost four years, he's fostered closer ties with London - a counterbalance, perhaps, to China's rockier relations elsewhere. If the UK leaves the EU, Mr Xi's judgement could be called into question. "There has been some criticism that he has been spending too much attention on ceremonial matters and diplomacy without concern for the slowing Chinese economy at home," says Yu Jie, the China programme manager at the LSE Ideas think tank in London. "So, if the UK leaves the EU, it won't only undermine the Chinese relationship with the UK. It will also undermine Xi Jinping's image as a steady leader because he's betting on the wrong horse." Chinese entrepreneurs might also come to feel that they've bet on the wrong horse. Over tea at his private members' club, Mr Zai admits to worries. "I'm just afraid if we leave the EU, it's going to be like an earthquake, like a huge earthquake. To be honest, I have no idea what's going to happen. Personally, I'm quite nervous." Nerves in London stretching all the way to the halls of power in Beijing. Some might argue that Chinese concerns shouldn't matter and British voters will make their own decisions on EU membership. But those who have invested financial and political capital in a closer relationship between China and the UK might be heading for a few sleepless nights.

This is because of the violence perpetrated by fans before their 5-1 Group E defeat at Roma on 17 September. CSKA were already due to play Bayern behind closed doors as punishment for racist chanting by fans last season. "It is likely we will have to play all our home games behind closed doors," said CSKA general manager Roman Babaev. "They [Uefa] could exclude us from the Champions League. "We are going to do everything in our power to make sure this does not happen. At the moment, the whole club is going through a difficult time." The club has been charged for the behaviour of their fans in Rome, where violent clashes with police, from which four officers and 13 stewards were left injured, forced the match to be halted. Last season, CSKA were fined after their fans were found guilty of racist chanting during Champions League games with City and Viktoria Plzen. City are due to play CSKA in Moscow on 21 October.

CSKA Moscow's Champions League home game with Manchester City is one of three fixtures the Russian club expect to play behind closed doors.

At the height of the blaze, smoke could be seen from hills on the other side of the city. West Yorkshire Fire Service was called to Ivy Mill on Mill Lane industrial estate in West Bowling close to the city centre, just before 08:00 BST. There were still 60 firefighters at the site in the middle of the afternoon, the fire service said. No one is believed to be trapped inside the building and there is no threat to residents, the fire service said. Dorothy Gardner, 48, of Killycanavan Road, had alleged Mr Wells made homophobic statements during an election hustings meeting in Downpatrick in April 2015. Mr Wells resigned as health minister a short time afterwards. Controversy surrounded remarks about same sex marriage attributed to him. Ms Gardner made a formal complaint to police after the hustings which included a statement claiming she had been at the event and heard the remarks. A police investigation later cleared Mr Wells and concluded Ms Gardner had not been present at the event. The South Down MLA said he had been vindicated by the outcome of the case. "My reputation and political career were destroyed by a series of totally false reports of what I said at that hustings meeting," he said. "As a result of these I was for forced to resign as health minister and suffered months of online abuse. "The full transcript and video of my speech and the notes of the five experienced reporters who covered the event clearly confirmed that I never made the alleged remarks." Ms Gardner is to be sentenced on 25 August. The HGVs blocked the southbound carriageway from 05:00 GMT on Saturday. Fire crews said both drivers had a "lucky escape" after receiving minor injuries. No-one else was hurt. One of the lorries overturned and landed halfway down a bank between Bicester and Thame. The road was closed until 18:00 for emergency repairs. Incident commander for Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue, Paul Webster, said: "It was a lucky escape for the two drivers and the other road users that there were no serious injuries. The cause of the accident is being investigated by police." The 20-year-old forward received the accolade 24 hours after it emerged that he will ask to leave to club. But while some fans jeered, others shouted: "Stay, Raheem." The England international is expected to tell manager Brendan Rodgers and chief executive Ian Ayre on Friday that he wants to leave Anfield this summer. Speaking at the event, Rodgers said it had been a "difficult, trying season". Liverpool will finish outside the top four in the Premier League and therefore miss out on a place in next season's Champions League, while Rodgers is first Reds boss to fail to win a trophy in his first three seasons since the 1950s. He added: "A number of distractions that we couldn't have planned for have made it difficult, but the players have given everything." Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho, 22, was voted Player of the Season. Sterling rejected a new £100,000-a-week contract in April but denied being a "money-grabber" in an exclusive interview with BBC Sport which was not authorised by his club. Media playback is not supported on this device He said: "I talk about winning trophies throughout my career. That's all I talk about." The forward told Rodgers before Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on 10 May that he wanted to leave, but it is understood the Reds want to keep the player, whose deal ends in 2017. Should Sterling be made available, Manchester City are the frontrunners for his signature, while a number of leading European clubs have also expressed an interest. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger refused to be drawn on whether he would make a bid. Several former Liverpool players have criticised Sterling and his representatives. Former Reds striker Emile Heskey said Sterling would be "denying himself the opportunity to grow and develop into a top player" if he left, and that Liverpool should "try as hard as they can" to persuade him to stay. John Aldridge, who played for Liverpool between 1987 and 1989, said Sterling had been given "woeful advice from his agent" and that "everyone in the game" felt it would be best for his development to stay. Former Liverpool winger John Barnes said Sterling should stay at Anfield, claiming he would not be guaranteed regular first-team football elsewhere as he has still "not achieved anything". Williamson, 32, was due to remain with the Championship side until January but Lascelles suffered a minor hamstring injury at Crystal Palace on Saturday. Williamson has made only two League Cup appearances for the Magpies this term and played five matches for Wolves. Newcastle are one place off the bottom of the Premier League and have conceded eight goals in their last two games. The Commission on Widening Access said there was an "undeniable case for change" on the issue. But it acknowledged the move would be "divisive", with concerns that middle-class students could be displaced. The commission was set up by the first minister last year. It was tasked with advising the Scottish government on how best to achieve its goal of ending the big gap between the number of students from wealthy and deprived backgrounds going to university. The commission's interim report said there had been "steady progress" on the issue over the past decade. But it stressed that "very significant socioeconomic inequalities" remained which were "unfair, unsustainable and detrimental to Scotland", and said the country had a moral and economic duty to tackle the issue The report said it had been suggested that admitting students from deprived backgrounds with lower grades could have a detrimental impact on the academic excellence of Scotland's universities. But it stated: "There is increasingly strong evidence that with the right support, bright students from deprived backgrounds can enhance, rather than jeopardise, academic excellence." The report said other opposing viewpoints included: But it added: "Unless we are prepared to accept the notion that Scotland's talent is concentrated in its most affluent communities, it is clear that, through accident of birth, a whole section of Scottish society has nothing like an equal opportunity to maximise their talent and reap the benefits of higher education. "We believe that this is fundamentally unfair and that the ultimate goal of widening access should be to eliminate socioeconomic inequality. "Equality of access is not just a passport to a better life for individuals; it is also a passport to a fairer, better Scotland." The report also said there was strong evidence that parental experience of higher education was one of the most influential factors in determining the likelihood of a child entering university. It added: "This means that equal access is capable of transmitting the social and economic benefits of higher education between generations, breaking cycles of deprivation and contributing to a society that is healthier, wealthier and fairer. "The evidence shows that a higher education is a passport to a better life. Graduates benefit from higher wages, significantly improved health outcomes and a higher life expectancy. "We believe that Scotland has a moral duty to ensure that these opportunities are distributed fairly." The commission's final report is expected to be submitted next year. The interim report was welcomed by Education Secretary Angela Constance, who said more needed to be done to tackle inequality in education despite the progress that had been made in recent years. A spokeswoman for Universities Scotland said: "Contextual admissions can help with this and it is one of many tools, but definitely not a silver bullet, that universities can use to help widen access. "Universities will always look for the best and brightest applicants - our quality and excellence is very important to us and absolutely will not be compromised - but we are open-minded about what best and brightest actually means." Currently, councils do not need to be told if a child is home educated, unless they are removed from school. Prof Sally Holland said she was disappointed this has not been changed in the new guidance. She renewed her calls for a compulsory register of home-schooled students but some home educators are against it. The Welsh government said it was still "considering the potential for introducing legislation". Prof Holland called for laws to ensure parents tell local authorities children were being educated at home following a BBC Wales investigation into the death of eight-year-old Dylan Seabridge. A child practice review found the boy had no direct contact with agencies such as doctors, nurses and teachers from the age of 13 months. Safeguarding experts have also called for a register, saying the current guidance was in "stark contrast" to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child. Meanwhile, some councils have said the current guidance is not strong enough. Prof Holland said she found the reluctance to legislate on home education "baffling". "I think that Wales is not protecting the rights of children in Wales until it moves forward to legislate in this area," she said. "So, I hope that when the cabinet secretary said that she would be looking towards a number of measures - including the potential for legislation - that she will move boldly forward with that. "I've given clear evidence to the government that non-statutory guidance is not good enough for children in Wales. "They all have a clear right to education and a clear right to have their voice heard about that education and this non-statutory guidance doesn't take us any further along that road." A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We have listened carefully to concerns about safeguarding children who are educated at home. "As the cabinet secretary indicated in her written statement, this new guidance will form part of a package of measures she is considering, including the potential for introducing legislation." Jayne Palmer, chief executive of New Foundations Home Education, said the new non-statutory guidance was an invasion of privacy. She said it gave too much power to councils and a compulsory register was a bad idea. "I think more families will go into hiding, rather than risk being identified by local education authorities and being victimised by those who don't know what they are doing," she said. She said current laws were "more than adequate" to allow social services or education officials access to a child if concerns are raised. The move is aimed at promoting an "African solution" to the conflict in the world's youngest state, which became independent in 2011, it said. An inquiry has found that both government and rebel forces have committed atrocities, the AU added. Despite the signing of a peace deal last month, conflict has continued. The formation of the court is part of the deal President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar signed following intense diplomatic pressure from regional leaders, reports the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza from the AU headquarters in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. Thousands have been killed in the fighting over the last 21 months and more than 2.2 million people forced from their homes. South Sudan does not recognise the International Criminal Court (ICC), which investigates atrocities in member states or if a case is referred to it by the UN Security Council. The AU is also extremely critical of the ICC, accusing it of failing to operate impartially - a charge it denies. A special court, set up by Senegal with the AU's backing, is currently trying Chad's former President Hissene Habre for alleged atrocities committed during his rule. The South Sudan court will use a mix of international and South Sudanese law. In a statement, the AU said a commission of inquiry, formed last year under the chairmanship of Nigeria's ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, found evidence that both sides to the conflict in South Sudan had been involved in murder, torture, looting and sexual violence. However, there was no evidence of genocide, it added. UN chief Ban Ki-moon welcomed the setting up of the court at a high-level meeting on South Sudan held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. "Horrific crimes have been committed against civilians in this war. The social fabric of South Sudan has been shattered. To mend it, the provisions in the peace agreement related to justice, accountability and reconciliation must be implemented in full," he said. The conflict erupted after Mr Kiir accused his sacked deputy, Mr Machar, of plotting a coup. Mr Machar denied the allegation, but then formed a rebel army to fight the government. The university announced plans to increase the number of student beds from about 600 to more than 2,000 as part of a new campus village. It said it wanted to house more students in university accommodation rather than private residential properties in Brighton and Hove. Detailed plans are yet to be submitted to the city council. Outline planning permission was granted last year. The new student accommodation will replace outdated 1970s buildings with a mix of town houses and flats. If approved, work will begin on the site in January with the first phase of accommodation ready in autumn 2018. About 2,400 new permanent jobs could be created as a result of the campus redevelopment, the university added. The site was unavailable for more two hours from 20:00 BST in a "malicious attempt to disrupt services", GMP said. Deputy Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said they were treating it as a "denial-of-service attack" and apologised for any inconvenience caused. A person has claimed responsibility on Twitter for causing the website crash, a GMP spokeswoman said. Det Ch Con Hopkins said the force's website server was not connected to other police computer systems and contained only information which was already in the public domain. "We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible," he said. Those carrying out a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack flood their target with large amounts of traffic in an attempt to render their website unreachable. Gordon Highlander Alistair Urquhart said the bomb prevented a Japanese plan to massacre Allied PoWs. He was blown off his feet by the Nagasaki bomb in 1945. That, and the Hiroshima atomic bomb killed up to 250,000 people, but are credited with hastening the end of World War Two. Aberdeen-born Mr Urquhart, of Broughty Ferry, died in a Dundee care home. His story began when Singapore fell to the Japanese in February 1942. Serving with the Gordon Highlanders' Second Battalion he had arrived there just weeks earlier as the Allies strengthened the island fortress against the expected invasion. He was among thousands taken prisoner and ended up helping to build the notorious Burma-Siam railway. Mr Urquhart's detail was put to work in what became known as "Hellfire Pass", where men were forced to cut through solid rock using nothing more than hand tools and dynamite. An estimated 13,000 Allied PoWs died on the railway. When it was completed, the surviving prisoners were taken back to Singapore to be put on ships to Japan. The Americans, not knowing the cargo, torpedoed them. The ship Mr Urquhart was on sank. For five days he drifted on the ocean in a raft, until he was picked up by a whaler. He ended up in a labour camp 10 miles from Nagasaki where, on 9 August 1945, the second atomic bomb exploded. He recalled: "I heard a plane, and I looked up. And it was quite clearly an American plane. No opposition. "And it just droned over and away. "Minutes later, I was just blown across the pathway - a big gust, which I thought was wind, hot air. But this was the bomb going off. "There had been a directive from the Japanese Army that if the Americans put one foot on Japanese soil, the whole of the people who had been taken prisoner had to be massacred on 12 August. "When was the bomb dropped? 9 August. Thank God. And here I am." The Japanese surrendered nine days after the first blast, ending World War Two. Mr Urquhart's son, Philip, said: "My father passed away peacefully with his family and friends around him on Friday. "He only moved into the care home in February having looked after himself up to the age of 96 and he was happy there. "He was 97 when he died so we cannot say he did not have a full life." Gwynant Jones from Machynlleth, Powys, was attacked while out with friends at the Academy, Great Darkgate Street, Aberystwyth, on Saturday at 23:25 GMT. Dyfed-Powys Police are hunting the attacker who was in fancy dress. Mr Jones said he had been offered reconstructive surgery. The computer programmer told Welsh language TV news programme Newyddion 9 he did not know his attacker and he explained how he felt a sudden pain and realised the severity of the wound when he put his hand to his left ear to find it bleeding heavily. Mr Jones was taken to Bronglais General Hospital in Aberystwyth but he was referred to specialists at Swansea's Morriston Hospital. Police are appealing for witnesses. They said the suspect, approximately 20-years-old, was wearing a fancy dress outfit of an orange poncho and a black wig. He is believed to have been with a group of women. One was wearing a white dress, another was in a nurse's uniform and a mask and a third was wearing a black dress. Witnesses have been asked to call Aberystwyth CID on 101. The government had been planning to bring in the new funding scheme in England from 2017-18 - but it will now apply from 2018-19, she said. "We must get our approach right," Ms Greening told the Commons. Labour's shadow education secretary Angela Rayner criticised the delay as "woeful". And Neil Carmichael, chairman of Parliament's education select committee, who raised the issue in an urgent Commons question, asked why more delay was necessary. "When does she really expect this programme to be fulfilled?" he asked. He pointed out that the plan had already gone out to consultation earlier this year. The government says the new formula is needed to tackle uneven levels of funding across England, with the best funded areas getting more than £6,300 per pupil per year, while the worst-funded averaging just £4,200 - but there are concerns that while some schools will benefit, a new formula could mean some schools in areas of need facing budget cuts. Ms Greening told MPs she did not want to rush into changes without being sure of their ramifications. In a written parliamentary statement, she said the first stage consultations on the new national funding formulae for schools and high needs, published in March, "have been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from head teachers, teachers, governors and parents". "There is also a strong sense in the response to the first stage of the consultation that this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for an historic change and that we must get our approach right." She said she would publish a full response to the first stage of the schools and high needs consultations and set out proposals for the second stage in the autumn. "We will run a full consultation, and make final decisions early in the new year," she said. "Given the importance of consulting widely and fully with the sector and getting implementation right, the new system will apply from 2018/19." Ms Greening said the new timescale would allow local authorities to plan ahead. In 2017-18 no local authority would see a reduction from their 2016-17 funding, adjusted to reflect authorities' most recent spending patterns, she said. Ms Rayner called the plans "woeful and last minute" and said only this government would impose real terms cuts on schools across the country and call them fair. Ms Greening said no school would lose funding. Liberal Democrat education spokesman John Pugh urged the government to protect the school budget in real terms, adding that he was concerned that the announcement did not rule more out cuts to school budgets "which are already overstretched". "It is not acceptable for the government to balance the books on the backs of school pupils but the new formula threatens to do just that." The Association of School and College leaders said it accepted the reasons for the delay but was "extremely disappointed that no interim support had been put in place for the lowest funded schools" for which the ongoing delay was "potentially catastrophic". National Union of Teachers general secretary Kevin Courtney said the announcement provided no new money and ignored genuine funding problems. Earlier, the NUT and ASCL were among five unions to issue a joint statement calling for urgent increases in school budgets. Instead, budgets were being cut in real terms as the government had frozen per pupil funding and loaded on extra costs such as higher pension contributions, the statement added. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, carried out the abuse over a nine-year period while he was a Hull City Council registered foster carer. He admitted 10 charges of child sex offences including sexual assault at the city's crown court last year. Last month, he was found guilty of rape and attempted rape of a child under 13. Sentencing him at the same court, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC described him earlier as a "thoroughly wicked man". He told the man: "You must be punished for these truly wicked crimes." During his nine-year stint there were five complaints made against him with the final one relating to "sexually inappropriate remarks". The children were immediately removed from his care and he was de-registered, the local authority said. Jon Plant, children safeguarding manager at Hull City Council, said the authority had undertaken "detailed statutory assessments, including rigorous background checks" before approving the man for foster caring. Mr Plant also said a safeguarding review had been carried out. "Whilst there is always learning from cases, the review did not identify any missed opportunities to safeguard children in this case. "On the first occasion that any concern was raised about possible harm to children, immediate steps were taken to ensure their safety. From this moment, the carer in question did not foster any further children." But in court, the judge called for an inquiry "given the gravity of this case". In a statement, the authority said: "We await, of course, the full report from the court and will give full consideration to the judge's comments." Det Con Rachel Walton, of Humberside Police, said the man used his "position of trust to abuse two young children in his care, as well as his own granddaughter". "This was a horrific case - one of the worst I have had to deal with in my career and, first and foremost, my thoughts are with the man's victims and their loved ones." GPs and health planners are waiting to hear if the Welsh government will back their calls to help areas which have recruitment problems. But Prof John Bligh, head of Cardiff University's school of medicine, said incentives had variable results. A health board executive director for primary care said it was not the "golden bullet answer". Hywel Dda University Health Board recently stepped in to directly manage two GP practices after they struggled to replace retiring doctors. Catherine Davies, from the health board, said: "It's about offering career development. We want to attract the brightest, the best, the most driven. "While it (incentives) is a helpful tool to have, it's by no means the golden bullet answer." Prof Bligh added: "I would much rather doctors chose to work in an area because that's where they wanted to work, as opposed to having a debt reduction scheme or some similar process." Over the last decade, the number of GPs in Wales increased by 10% to a total of 2,006, but that population is ageing and many family doctors are finding an increasing workload oppressive. Dr Paul Myers, of the Royal College of General Practitioners in Wales, said: "I speak to a lot of GPs in the latter part of their career who say they can't wait to finish." The British Medical Association has estimated Wales needs to be recruiting at least 200 trainee GPs a year to replace those retiring or going part-time. But most years the current quota of 136 training places has not been filled. Dr Ruth Hussey, chief medical officer for Wales, accepted there were pockets of Wales where recruiting GPs was challenging. Ministers will publish a primary care workforce plan later this month which, Dr Hussey said, will look at overcoming the challenges to building a sustainable workforce and allow consultation on "what might work".

Because of the way the light falls on the stairs, there aren't many other clues in the picture to help the brain decide whether it's going up or down. But one clue could be in the moggy's tail. Martin's been investigating... Watch Martin's report to find out more. Thousands had attended the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) final rally ahead of Sunday's vote. The cause of the blasts is not clear, and the HDP leader has called for calm. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described the blasts as a "provocation" intended to destabilise the upcoming general election. HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas also said: "All our friends should very careful and not to give in to provocation." The death toll was confirmed by Mehmet Mehdi Eker, a Diyarbakir MP and the country's agriculture minister. Speaking at his own election rally in the nearby city of Gaziantep, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised an investigation into the explosion. "Whatever is behind this incident... whether it was a power transformer explosion, an assassination attempt, an act of provocation - we shall investigate it and get the result as soon as possible," he said. Energy Minister Taner Yildiz denied earlier statements that the explosion was caused by a fault in a generator at the rally site. "It suggests there was an outside agent," he said, without providing further details. The fortunes of the HDP as seen as key to the result of Turkey's election. Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said at least 20 of the people who were injured in the incident have been hospitalised, according to the Associated Press news agency. Under Turkey's electoral system a party needs to win 10% of the overall vote to enter parliament, which polls show the HDP are close to achieving. If this does happen it may end the single party rule of President Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AK). A couple stand out for me: First it is worth noting just how far and fast Morrison has fallen. What it calls underlying profits was £901m two years ago. That fell to £785m last year, and it is forecast to be between £325m and £375 in the current year. Or to put it another way, Morrison's profitability has crumbled almost two-thirds over three years. Some of that is cyclical, the result of a squeeze on customers' living standards. Much of it is secular, a permanent migration to cheaper rivals, and a shift in spending habits to local convenience stores and online shopping. Only now is Morrison responding to what it sees as these permanent changes, by belatedly establishing convenience stores, forming a joint venture with Ocado in online shopping, and by what it calls a "reset" of "the profit base", in order to offer "best value, price and quality for customers". In other words, it is reconciled to squeezing its profit margins, or to making less profit per customer, to try and fight back against the aggressive competition from Aldi and Lidl. So, some of Morrison's woes are sui generis, a failure to make the right investments in IT and property over the past decade. But some are relevant to all supermarkets. Or, if Morrison is cutting profit margins in a significant way, won't its mainstream rivals Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda have to do something similar? And another thing. Online is changing the economics of supermarkets in a fundamental way - and in a way that does not bode all that well for conventional stores. The simple point is that the costs of selling from a store are relatively fixed, in the form of wages and rent, so additional sales from a store generate progressively bigger profits. And the reverse is true. When sales fall in a store, profits will fall faster than those sales, because (to repeat) so many of the costs are set in stone. So a big investment in online, of the sort that Morrison is doing, can undermine the profitability of stores in a fundamental way, by cannibalising sales. Which would not matter if the intrinsic profitability of online was massively greater than for sales from stores. But published results of Ocado don't exactly demonstrate that. And what's more, Morrison is sharing whatever profits it succeeds in generating online with Ocado. All of which is to say (as if you didn't know) that there is something of a revolution going on in food retailing. And that revolution probably benefits us, shoppers, by delivering deflation in what we buy and more choice in how we buy. But for the giant supermarket chains we traditionally regarded as fearsome and invincible, there's a threat which - if not quite existential - is pretty serious. The Steam Packet Company said 36,500 people have so far travelled for the event, compared with 35,500 in 2016. Last year's figures suffered a hit due to the unavailability of a fast ferry serving Northern Ireland. Chief executive Mark Woodward said demand to travel during the TT remains "extremely high." As well as the 36,500 passengers, the company said it had carried 14,037 motorcycles and more than 4,000 cars, vans and trailers. Hundreds of passengers were stranded on the island this week after high winds cancelled sailings on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, the majority were given bookings on alternative sailings within 24 hours. The TT festival, which sees racers from all over the world reach speeds of 200mph on closed public roads, will conclude with the Senior race on Friday.

Muir beat Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon into second place, with the Kenyan running 3:56.72. Bahrain's Ruth Jebet, who also won gold in Rio, ran 8:52.78 seconds to set a 3,000m steeplechase world record. The Kenya-born 19-year-old smashed the previous record of 8:58.81 set by Russian Gulnara Galkina at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "I'm so happy," said Jebet. "I've tried to beat the world record several times, but tonight we decided to push ourselves to go looking for a good time." Media playback is not supported on this device Muir's performance came five weeks after she broke Dame Kelly Holmes' 12-year-old British record in the 1500m at the London Anniversary Games. She then went on to finish seventh at the Olympic Games, but put any disappointment from Rio behind her with a stunning run in Paris, saying: "The race was amazing. "I couldn't believe the time, especially since I didn't do one track session since Rio. I just went with the pacemaker and I knew I had to dig in and hold on during the third lap." Britain's Lorraine Ugen was second in the women's long jump with 6.80m, Desiree Henry ran 22.46 seconds to finish second behind Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands in the 200m, and Cindy Ofili came third in the 100m hurdles in a time of 12.66secs.

Diamond League highlights are on BBC Two at 13:00 BST on Sunday, 28 August. More than 12,000 operational ration packs (ORPs) were thrown away between April and December - more than in the previous 12 months. Work and Pensions Select Committee chairman Frank Field wants these surplus packs to feed the UK's homeless population. The Ministry of Defence says it only disposes of ORPs "as a last resort". Labour MP Mr Field submitted a written parliamentary question to defence minister Harriett Baldwin, who in response said the Ministry of Defence (MoD) threw away 12,275 ORPs between April and December. During the whole of the 2015/16 financial year 10,798 ORPs were disposed of, and 5,004 in the year before that. Mr Field said the issue had been repeatedly raised by food banks, because of problems associated with catering for people who cannot cook or store food. And he said he was "staggered" by the amount of food packages the MoD throws away. "The number is going up and they're only destroying it. I just hope someone will look into it. Let's move it from one army to the army of the homeless," he said. "These supplies are designed for people, in a sense, to eat on the run, and people in doorways are in a similar position. "They're ideally constructed for when people haven't got much." Out-of-date ORPs are withdrawn from use and disposed of according to current food safety legislation, Ms Baldwin said. An MoD spokesman added: "Our stocks of ORPs are managed to make sure they are consumed within the two-year shelf life required to meet our food quality standards. "We only undertake disposal of ORP as a last resort and only at a point when the product can no longer be consumed. "Due to the changing nature of exercises or deployments, there will of course be occasions when ORP has not been issued before it becomes out of date."

The proposed reforms were outlined by Coe, 58, in London on Wednesday. He said the plans were designed to increase the appeal of athletics "in a world that is rapidly changing". "To many within and outside our sport, our calendar seems disjointed, lacks a narrative and the essential glue to build excitement and a loyal and passionate following," the two-time Olympic 1500m champion said. "We need to be more innovative in how we project and present our sport to the world, both in venue and on screen, give serious consideration to an 'IAAF Street Athletics' circuit to help reach new audiences, and create a new IAAF division that has the sole purpose of focusing on youth engagement, especially via social media. "I believe that it is essential that we open up a real debate and take a long hard look at the 'product' of athletics." Having led the team that staged the London 2012 Games, Coe has been widely tipped to become the most powerful man in world athletics. He has made no secret of his desire to succeed Senegalese Diack, 80, in charge of the International Association of Athletics Federations but is expected to be challenged by fellow vice-president Sergey Bubka, Ukraine's former pole vault world record holder. The deadline for candidates to register as candidates for the presidency is May 2015. The election will take place at the IAAF Congress in Beijing in August. This comes after an IS video appeared to show him being burned alive. Jordan confirmed the death, although the video's authenticity is being checked. Officials told reporters a convicted jihadist Jordan had tried to exchange for the pilot would be executed. The 26-year-old pilot was seized when his plane came down in Syria in December during a mission against IS. Mamdouh al-Ameri, a spokesman for the Jordanian armed forces, said on Tuesday that Lt Kasasbeh had "fallen as a martyr". "His blood will not be shed in vain. Our punishment and revenge will be as huge as the loss of the Jordanians." The army also promised an "earth-shattering" response to his death. Jordanian state TV reported that Lt Kasasbeh was killed a month ago. Since then Jordan had tried to secure his release as part of a prisoner swap, offering to free failed suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi in exchange. Rishawi, an Iraqi national, is on death row for her role in attacks in the capital, Amman, that killed 60 people in 2005. Jordanian officials are quoted as saying she would now be executed along with with three other convicted militants. IS had sought her release as part of a deal to free captive Japanese journalist Kenji Goto. A video that appeared to show Goto's dead body appeared four days ago. In Wednesday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he had felt "an intense sense of anger" when hearing that the Jordanian pilot had been "horrifically burned to death". Mr Abe expressed his solidarity with the Jordanian people and vowed not to "bow to terrorism". Jordanians greeted the news with horror. Many have seen the gruesome video, barely edited, played over and over on television. Hundreds gathered in the streets after dark, demanding revenge against Lt Kasasbeh's killers. Some also wanted to know why Jordan was involved in this fight at all. The pilot's father was among supporters when the news came through. He and other family members have left the capital to mourn at home. King Abdullah said Lt Kasasbeh had died defending his beliefs and homeland. The defence ministry said the pilot's blood would not have been shed in vain. It is promising a fitting punishment. For many Jordanians, this has to begin with the quick execution of Sajida al-Rishawi, the failed al-Qaeda suicide bomber, jailed 10 years ago for her part in a spate of bombings against hotels here. The video purportedly showing the pilot was posted online on Tuesday. It was distributed via a Twitter account known as a source for IS propaganda. The highly produced 22-minute film shows what militants say is the pilot standing in a cage engulfed in flames. The BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, says it is aimed at a world already shocked by the calculated cruelty of Islamic State's actions. Jordan's King Abdullah hailed Lt Kasasbeh as a hero, saying Jordan must "stand united" in the face of hardship. The king decided to cut short a visit to the US after news of the pilot's death, but he met President Barack Obama on Tuesday evening before flying home. Mr Obama earlier said that if the video was real, it would be "one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity" of IS. "I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of the global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated," Mr Obama said. 24 December 2014: Jordanian Lt Moaz Youssef al-Kasasbeh captured by IS after his plane crashes 25 December 2014: Pilot's father urges IS to show mercy 20 January 2015: IS threatens to kill two Japanese hostages unless Japan pays $200m ransom within 72 hours 24 January: IS releases video of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto holding a picture apparently showing Haruna Yukawa's decapitated body 24 January: IS calls for release of Sajida al-Rishawi, an Iraqi militant sentenced to death in Jordan 28 January: Jordan offers to release Rishawi in exchange for Lt Kasasbeh 29 January: Deadline to kill Lt Kasasbeh and Mr Goto expires 31 January: Video released appearing to show Kenji Goto's body 3 February: Video released appearing to show Lt Kasasbeh burnt alive, with Jordanian media suggesting he was killed weeks earlier Thirty firefighters tackled a blaze at a terraced house in Culdee Drive which was extensively damaged. The man has been named locally as Barry Toal. Neighbours put a ladder against a rear bedroom window in a bid to rescue Mr Toal who was inside the property, but he died in the fire. Crews were called to the scene at 20:40 GMT on Friday. The ambulance service said two people were treated for the effect of smoke and fumes. The NI Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) confirmed that five appliances were in attendance. NIFRS Group Commander Mark Smyth said it was an "intense fire" and investigations as to how it started were ongoing. The fire service said crews started operations on the first floor and roof space of the property. It added that firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and using jets "were able to bring the fire under control quickly and prevent fire spread to adjoining properties, but unfortunately they discovered that a person had lost their life in the incident". Crews attended from Armagh, Keady, Portadown and Lisburn.

Tottenham's Harry Kane (25) and Leicester's Jamie Vardy (24) are the only Englishmen with more top flight goals this season. "He can still do it at the highest level," Allardyce told BBC Sport. "His record tells Roy that if he needs to score goals at the Euros, Jermain Defoe is there," added Allardyce. "If he needs the option, Jermain Defoe is a very good option for him." Defoe's winner at the Stadium of Light means a victory at home to Everton on Wednesday (19:45 BST) would guarantee the Black Cats' survival. The former West Ham and Spurs striker has now scored 15 of Sunderland's 40 league goals this season, and his goals have earned 14 of their 35 points. He has 18 strikes in all competitions. Hodgson names his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 on Thursday, with doubts over the fitness of Arsenal's Danny Wellbeck. Kane, Vardy, Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge are expected to figure, with Arsenal forward Theo Walcott also in contention. Defoe has 55 senior England caps but his last appearance was as a substitute in a 2-0 friendly defeat by Chile at Wembley in November 2013. Allardyce added: "For the first time in a few years, he has consistently played week in, week out and delivered for us at Sunderland. He has delivered in a position people questioned whether he could deliver in, which is central striker on his own." In the normal course of events these remarks might have been dismissed as routine rhetoric. But on this occasion they reflect what are likely to be the priorities of the new king. For Saudi Arabia finds itself surrounded by challenges, external and internal. The last thing that the ruling family needed at such a sensitive time was a messy succession process. So it moved with uncustomary speed to deal with a number of potentially contentious issues. The immediate announcement that Salman's half-brother Prince Muqrin would step up from deputy crown prince to the position of heir to the throne resolved one of them. There had been mounting speculation on social media and among Saudi Arabia analysts that the new king might favour his full brother Ahmed over Muqrin. Then came the announcement that a new deputy crown prince had been named. He is the Interior Minister, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the first of the younger generation of princes to step onto the ladder that leads up to the throne of Saudi Arabia. The expectation was that the contentious decision of which of the younger princes should be given this honour would be postponed for as long as possible. Suddenly it has happened. Clearly not all senior Saudis will be happy with the turn of events. Prince Ahmed himself must now know that he will never be king. The sons of the late King Abdullah had looked well-placed to be leading candidates for the post of deputy crown prince - head of the National Guard Prince Mitaib in particular had been mentioned as a favourite. But the differences of opinion within Al Saud will continue to be resolved in private and will not be allowed to undermine the solidarity of the family as a whole in a way that might threaten the kingdom's stability. For maintaining security will be King Salman's chief priority. Hundreds of young Saudis have fought with Islamic State (IS) and are returning home inspired by jihadist ideology. The policy of trying to prevent them carrying out attacks within Saudi Arabia will be accompanied by an intensified strategy of encouraging Islamic preachers and the teaching profession to warn young Saudis of the dangers of signing up to IS beliefs. As part of the process of battening down the hatches King Salman is likely to be less inclined than Abdullah in seeking to intervene in the region's trouble spots. While the kingdom will continue to support the Syrian opposition, for example, it might now look more favourably than in the past on initiatives that include a transitional solution that sees some members of the Assad regime remaining in power. Likewise in Iraq, King Salman will remain committed to the anti-IS coalition but will also stand by Abdullah's refusal to commit troops there. The view among Saudi leaders is that the chief task of the armed forces is to protect the country's borders. Indeed extra forces are likely to be sent to the southern border with Yemen. The recent rapid expansion of the Houthis, allegedly with support from Iran, at the expense of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, is of increasing concern to the kingdom. Then there is the continuing danger stemming from al-Qaeda activity in Yemen. On the domestic front one should not expect major changes. King Salman is believed to be less in favour than his predecessor of political and social reform. He is not likely to undermine the measures of the late king, but it would be a major surprise if women won the right to drive during the Salman monarchy. Nor should one expect changes in policy that would appease critics of Saudi Arabia's human rights performance. The elderly king will not be interested in risking a clash with the powerful religious establishment by trying to persuade them to agree to such amendments to Islamic law as would be necessary to make such changes. A question mark hangs over the kingdom's oil policy. Will Saudi Arabia continue with its controversial policy of refusing to lower production - a move that has led to the global price collapsing? The confirmation of Petroleum Minister Ali Naimi in his post suggests that it will. The longer that Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters can live with low prices, the thinking in Riyadh goes, the tougher the conditions will be for the North American shale oil and gas industry which is eating away at OPEC's market share. So, some major changes and surprises have been seen at the top. But the underlining message seems to be that for Saudi Arabia under King Salman it will be pretty much business as usual - as long as the leadership succeeds in protecting the kingdom "from all evils". Gerald Butt, a former BBC Middle East correspondent, is a regional analyst for Oxford Analytica and Petroleum Policy Intelligence Police said the 51-year-old man would appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Monday. Hamilton, from Glasgow, was previously one of Scotland's most wanted men. He was released from prison in September 2014 but went missing in April last year. His body was found near West Calder on 17 December. Det Supt Kenny Graham, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said the investigation into Mr Hamilton's death was still ongoing in West Calder and nearby Blackburn. He added: "Following this arrest we will be revisiting a number of people we have spoken to. We are also keen to hear from anyone else who may have information which may assist but who have not felt able to come forward before. "We still have searches to conduct near the Five Sisters Business Park, as well as forensic work and other local inquiries in Blackburn, and this will be in conjunction with local officers who remain on high-visibility patrol in the area. "I'm pleased with the support we have received from the local community in Blackburn - as well as information which has assisted my investigation, we have seen great engagement on a range of matters." Hamilton was nicknamed the Blackhill Butcher, after the Glasgow housing estate from which he operated. He had been on the police's most-wanted list before he was jailed in 2000 over a string of charges including drug dealing, torture, abduction and sodomy. Media playback is not supported on this device The 21-year-old ran 9.97 secs in Birmingham to become the first Briton to go under both 10 seconds in the 100m and 20 seconds in the 200m. He clutched his leg after crossing the line in second place behind American Marvin Bracy (9.93) and was taken from the track in a wheelchair. Dina Asher-Smith, 19, ran the second quickest 200m by a British woman. Media playback is not supported on this device On a successful day for Britain's sprinters, Asher-Smith finished third in a personal best 22.30 secs. The British 100m record holder was just a hundredth of a second adrift of winner Jeneba Tarmoh and Allyson Felix in second, who both clocked 22.29 secs. "I'm really happy," Asher-Smith told BBC Sport. "I was looking to get somewhere around my personal best so to run 22.30 is just out of this world." The pair's performances sated athletics fans in the absence of double Olympic champion Mo Farah, who withdrew from men's 1500m on the morning of the competition. Farah said he was "emotionally and physically drained" after a "stressful week" that saw a BBC investigation allege his coach Alberto Salazar had been involved in doping. European 200m champion Gemili's form in the week leading up to the race had promised a special performance in Birmingham. He recorded a wind-assisted 9.97secs last Sunday and, on a cloudless day at the Alexander Stadium, set a personal best 10.00secs in the heats, which he went on to better in the final. "I felt my hamstring go as I dipped, but I'm in good spirits," Gemili said. "British sprinting is really stepping up and I'm glad to be a part of it." Richard Kilty also set a personal best time of 10.05secs in finishing fifth, while fellow Briton Chijindu Ujah was sixth in 10.11secs. Five Britons had previously dipped under the 10-second mark: Linford Christie (9.87), James Dasaolu (9.91) Chijindu Ujah (9.96), Dwain Chambers (9.97) and Jason Gardener (9.98). He recorded the second quickest 200m by a Briton when he won gold in Zurich last year in a time of 19.98 secs. Elsewhere at the Diamond League event, Olympic champion Greg Rutherford won the men's long jump by equalling his second longest jump ever, a season's best 8.35m leap. Laura Muir set a personal best 2:00.42 to finish second in the women's 800m. It was a race comfortably won by Kenya's Eunice Jepkoech Sum, unbeaten over the distance this season, in 1:59.85. British record holder Tiffany Porter (12.65) came third in the women's 100m hurdles, as did compatriot Laura Weightman (4:06.42) in the women's 1500m. Finally, having initially had what was an African-record throw deemed a foul, Julius Yego's 91.39m effort in the javelin was later declared legal - winning the Kenyan the competition and putting him ninth on the all-time list. While the pro-EU campaign - Britain Stronger In - has set up a Scottish operation, the UK-wide leave campaigns have yet to do so. Mr Farage said he was trying to broker a merger between the Leave.EU and Vote Leave campaigns. He added: "There is a bit more coming together to do before we're properly ready." Meanwhile, Stronger In has confirmed that John Edward, a former head of the European Parliament office in Scotland, will be their chief campaign spokesman in Scotland. Mr Edward said: "We're keen to get our team in place, so that if the referendum is called we're ready to go." The campaign has already appointed former Labour MP Frank Roy as their director in Scotland, with former SNP media chief, Kevin Pringle, providing communications advice. Stronger In will not be an umbrella organisation for the political parties that support the UK remaining in the EU. Mr Edward said: "For us the aim is to be a non-party campaign, people based, talking up the benefits of EU membership for Scotland and the broader UK." Of the six political parties with elected parliamentarians in Scotland, only one - UKIP - is formally backing UK withdrawal from the EU. UKIP's sole parliamentarian in Scotland is David Coburn, who won a seat in the European Parliament in the 2014 election. With most politicians in Scotland favouring the EU, Mr Farage conceded that the leave campaign would be "more difficult" here. He was speaking before it emerged that the acting chairman of UKIP in Scotland had resigned following a court appearance. Mr Farage said: "At the moment, the leave campaign in Scotland is a bit embryonic. "But let's not forget this great myth that somehow Scotland's wonderfully in love with the European Union. "There's been precious little debate on this issue in Scotland". The leaders of the other parties in Scotland - the SNP, Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens - have all said they will campaign for an "in" vote. It is possible that some Labour and Conservative MSPs could back Brexit, but none have so far declared. The Scottish Labour leader, Kezia Dugdale, said the "overwhelming majority" of her group at Holyrood want the UK to stay in. There is a Scottish Labour Leave campaign fronted by the former MP and government minister, Nigel Griffiths. He spoke at the launch of the Labour Left Leave campaign in Glasgow over the weekend. The Scottish Conservative leader, Ruth Davidson, said "many" Tory MSPs, like her, back continued EU membership. The former Conservative MSP, Brian Monteith, has been appointed head of press by the Leave.EU campaign. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said "no SNP parliamentarian has expressed a desire to campaign for the out campaign". There are Brexit supporters in the wider party, with its former deputy leader, Jim Sillars, saying will campaign for the UK to leave the EU. The former SNP leader Gordon Wilson thinks some party members would vote leave in the hope of hastening Scottish independence. Those who wish to spend more than £10,000 campaigning in the EU referendum must register with the Electoral Commission from today. The commission has yet to designate the lead campaigns for the referendum. The prime minister David Cameron has promised to hold the vote by the end of 2017. It could take place as early as June if Mr Cameron gets a deal on revised terms of UK membership when EU leaders meet on 18 and 19 February. Media playback is not supported on this device Niall McGinn crossed for Ryan Jack to head the Dons in front just before the half-hour. The Northern Irishman fired home a stunning volley to double his side's lead on the stroke of half-time. McGinn made the game safe when he headed home Jonny Hayes' cross ten minutes from the end. McGinn was a joy to behold. The Northern Irish forward did not have much of a summer break given his involvement at Euro 2016, but he looked entirely re-energised here after the winter break. Scott Bain had to divert one great delivery, then tipped a wonderful McGinn free-kick over the bar before he unlocked Dundee. McGinn danced down the left, cut back, crossed perfectly for the onrushing Ryan Jack to power a great header home. He sealed it just before half-time. Ash Taylor knocked down, McGinn controlled and volleyed straight off the post and in for his sixth goal in eight games. Truly wonderful As was Jonny Hayes' delivery for McGinn's second, which he simply guided home with his head. Derek McInnes will be desperate to find some way to keep this player beyond the summer when his contract is due to expire. Aberdeen have found consistency spanning both ends of the winter break and it's taken them into second place. They look so strong in attacking areas and the addition of Ryan Christie will only compliment that. The scoreline might easily have been greater, particularly when Dundee keeper Bain superbly stopped Adam Rooney's close range shot. Confidence is high, the break looks to have helped their cause and on this form, the Dons look odds-on for a very positive second half of the season. A late cameo for Christie only added to the positivity. The team sheet suggested Dundee boss Paul Hartley was highlighting a need for new recruits, with only five names listed on the bench. He would have been heartened by some early positive play and defensive organisation which suggested they had got their Scottish Cup exit out of their system. Paul McGowan was desperately unlucky with an instinctive first-time lob from distance which cracked the bar with Joe Lewis well beaten. Once Aberdeen clicked though, their attacking threat, and McGinn in particular, simply overwhelmed Dundee. McGinn's goal right before half-time made the challenge insurmountable. They never recovered. Match ends, Aberdeen 3, Dundee 0. Second Half ends, Aberdeen 3, Dundee 0. Scott Wright (Aberdeen) wins a free kick on the right wing. Foul by Faissal El Bakhtaoui (Dundee).

A total of 98,540 homes were sold in May, seasonally-adjusted figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show, down 3% on a year earlier. The first nine months of 2014 saw property being sold at the fastest rate since before the financial crisis. Other data has predicted a modest pick-up in the housing market during the latter half of this year. The HMRC figures cover properties sold for more than £40,000 across the UK. Some 1.7 million homes were sold in 2006, at the height of the property boom. This fell to 848,000 in 2009, but rose to 1.2 million last year. In recent months sales have fallen back to below 100,000 a month. Recent reports from the mortgage market - a precursor to sales - have suggested that there is likely to be a modest increase in activity later in the year. Gross mortgage lending rose by 2% in May compared with April to £16.2bn, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). Property commentator Henry Pryor said he saw evidence of pent-up demand. "Buyers have been sitting on their hands. Prices peaked in the first half of last year and, while asking prices have picked up in recent months, sale prices will continue to come under pressure," he said.
